  1. slightly off topic but still perhaps relevant imo...  hence I hid it under a spoiler...

     

     

     

     

    2.5 years of promotions, 1.5 years exclusive, 1.0 years non-exclusive, thereafter disbandment...  I can't say for S2 but clearly the length of time for S1 of IOI promotions was too short and the agencies who had girls there were too greedy, all of which is just a personal opinion...

     

    At a risk of sounding sacrilegious, even 1.5 years could be too short if IZ*ONE becomes as big as I what I think it could be...

     

    Case in point....

     

     

     

     

     

    The thing is, one will alway wonder what IOI would have turned out to be if it had promoted for another year and a half...  no doubt most of the IOI members have moved on with their lives, some to greater success then others but I would also say for some of them, their success with IOI may never be duplicated with their existing groups...  personal success yes....  group success.... hm... the jury is still out and only time will tell...

     

    I know that a lot of folks will say that it would be a huge disservice to trainees back at the agencies but I could counter-argue and say that it's perhaps be a bigger disservice for trainees to go back to a life of uncertainly after tasting the success of IZ*ONE...

     

    we shall see...    damned if you do and damned if you don't...  now is that just life sometimes...

     

     

     

  2. Lol, and just to add, it would be a poor show knowing that you had a meeting in Japan on the 4th and to only start booking the tickets on the 1st... once you had the final numbers... and if you want to argue that you need the names to pre-book the tickets... then surely they could book tickets for all the k-trainees ahead of time and then cancel the ones that didn’t make it.... as I imagine, one can always mix and match facts to justify a line of argument.... most of the time anyway... peace...

  3. And also they only needed 9 tickets since the ones to fly together were k-line

    So it was totally rigged

     

    I still love IZ*ONE, but I have mixed feelings and I'm asking myself what the line-up would be if they didn't rig it

    Lol.... can we stop with all the conspiracy theories... obviously everyone is welcome to their own views lol...

     

    For me, they likely blocked booked tickets ahead of time and then cancelled what was needed... remember that it wasn’t just trainees that were going so it easy to read into things if one so wished to... in any case, regardless, the line up is super...

  4. I really respect you man, I don't know how you can survive in these toxic, salty conditions. <3

     

    lol...  toxic and salty is fine since it's usually an honest opinion and a diversity of views is often great for perspectives, nothing is worse and boring then living in an echo chamber from a personal point of view.   Having said that, if it devolves in a series of vitriolic rants without any wish to an open and frank discussion...  then my scrolling mouse is pretty fast... lol...  but these rants soon blow over as they move onto other stuff as I said and we are left with people who are genuinely interested in the trainees and who provide periodic updates for the rest of us...

     

    For those of us that were in S1, Sohye was likely the most controversial of the final line-up and now, I don't think anyone now would argue that she wasn't good enough to be in it.... and those that do are still 'salty' and love their 'back-seat' quarter-backing...

     

    As I said, the final lot of trainees in all of the series were equally deserving of a place in the final group, it was a matter of time and place unfortunately. 

     

    So for those of us that still stan PD101 S1 and now PD48, the trainees from both seasons and especially those that are going to be stanning... IZ*ONE, lets enjoy the ride....  a simplistic point of view perhaps...  

     

    So less salt and more sugar I say!
