'Produce 101' trainee Kim Yong Guk's words have rekindled concerns about the 'Produce 101' concert.

 

The 'concert team' had been heavily protested by fans who had been worried that the 24 boys who didn't make it into the top 11 would merely end up being back up dancers for the 11. While Mnet had stated that would not be the case, Chun Entertainment's Kim Yong Guk (Jin Long Guo)'s words during a live interview is causing concerns again.

 

 

During a Facebook live with fellow Chun Entertainment trainee Kim Si Hyun, Kim Yong Guk was asked about how practice for the concert was going. He replied, "Out of the 35, except the 11 who made it, the other trainees seemed to be really dejected that they had not made it into the 11." He quickly added, "But we are thankful that we can have a concert even though we didn't debut."

 

The comment has refueled the same concerns, especially because YMC Entertainment had revealed that Wanna One would have group stages, unit stages, and solo stages during the concert, which would leave no time for the other trainees. Many are pointing out that even though Mnet had denied rumors, it's turning out to be exactly what fans were concerned about - that the 24 trainees were just being used to spotlight the top 11.

Ofc they would, i mean they're basically using them for free ...

That's not really fair, is it? They are now known thanks to this show. Their future careers will be largely based on their appearance on anything related to this show. 

 

It's also another chance to appear in front of the P101 audience and make another impression.

Well yeah but i'm sure they're feeling like shit. For Yongguk to say this just proves it, and the concert will barely benefit them.

I mean a concert normally have 15-16 stages anyway. The TOP 35 will all probably gonna perform their concept stages (Never, Open Up, Oh Little Girl, Show Time, IKYK) and then TOP 20 will perform Hands on Me, Super Hot and Always. And for the remaining stages I am guessing will go to Wanna One (which they deserved since they won and got pick by the voters). And then finally they will all probably perform Pick Me too.

Won't they perform their concept stages? Why is there a talk of them being just background dancers?

it's produce 101 final concert but they're making it like a wanna one concert

not sure why YMC is at fault when it's MNET who organizes and do the setlist for this concert.

YMC doesn't involve in the production of Produce 101 concert because they are never contracted to do this unless Wanna One will have their own concert and thats even a different situation. lol

I understand their bitterness. They're eliminated and now alr move on w their career. As soon as they're done w the show there's no reason, or meaning for them in joining a final concert as backup dancers for top 11, as it really took a lot of time and effort for preparation, while they can do their own promotion instead. Mnet wants to milk the PD101 thing as long as they can, this is the very last thing they can milk from them. 

 

As fans ofc ppl want to see all of them again (and Mnet serves it), but from their personal, and their companies' point of view, no one wants it (just like how companies tried their best to pull members out of IOI during their promotion).

Anticipating the shower of hugs and kisses :lol:

 

Probably nothing else matters to Seonho lol

People are blowing his words out of proportion and not once did he say we're being used as back-up dancers. The concert was agreed on before the finale as a way to promote all the original songs of this season. Top 12-35 will be performing their concept evaluation songs, top 20 will be doing Always, Hands On Me and Showtime. The winners will be highlighted I'm sure of it because it's their every right to be celebrated in front on the people who basically MADE them.

 

Hate Mnet and the show all you want but you can't deny EVERYONE not just the winners benefited/still benefits from this.
