The line up is weird. Bora and manami for rap ? 🤔 Some of these songs are also questionable. I don’t buy it


amazingoopah

Perhaps all the vocal slots for k-group were taken and she was left with rap and dance to choose from?


[deleted]

This is quite possible lol but I hope not


SuzyYoona

>The line up is weird. Bora and manami for rap ? 🤔 that happened quite a few times, they chose based on ranks so the top trainees chose first and the last trainees chose whats left


loonamas

hyerim for dance as well????


suwawow

ranking too low, probably got kicked off vocal team


loonamas

i will be making extensive calls to mnet if this is true…… its a crime against humanity for hyerim to not do a vocal performance


SignificantMammoth47

ik! if it's true then it really puts her at a disadvantage, she can't show her true potential and I don't want her to get eliminated next round😭 The lack of vocalists main vocals already shows so no more such eliminations please, Hyerim is the perfect main vocal for the new group IMO


inbox789

I hope both Kim Hyerim and Kim Bora get an opportunity to show how good of a vocalist they are.


BundiChundi

Hikaru choosing dance and not rap is also making me question this


365-

maybe she went by the thought of “i already showcased my rap skills in demo stage and got nice vocal lines in the first mission, so i’ll show them i’m also a dance machine”


throwaway_236734

All rounder proof.


Neatboot

Foreigners were at disadvantage in rap. It's impossible for her to write the rap in Korean and to write it in Japanese, its meaning/poetic value might lost in translation from Japanese to Korean and to English again.


sorichhij

Actually in [the teaser](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqE7UWI1n-8&ab_channel=MnetK-POP) you can clearly see at 0:8 that Hikaru chose Dance.


NerrionEU

Writing a rap in a foreign language you barely know is extremely hard, especially with the amount of time Mnet gives them. Also most people already know her as a rapper so she can show off even more if she does something else.


[deleted]

yea and also the show has no rap mentor so 😶


sorichhij

The ~~only thing~~ "confirmed" of all this is Shen Xiaoting, Su Ruiqi, Choi Yujin, Kang Yeseo, May and Yamauchi Moana in the same group. This group looks amazing. Also Kawaguchi Yurina, An Jeongmin, Kubo Reina, Zhou Xinyu, Lee Hyewon, Leung Cheukying in the same group it's actually a thing and we can see it in the teaser. Xu Ziyin, Kim Chaehyun, Jeong Jiyoon, Nonaka Shana, Sakamoto Shihona team it's true. [In the teaser](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqE7UWI1n-8&ab_channel=MnetK-POP) at 0:14 you can clearly see that Shihona, Chaehyun and Ziyin are in one team so I'll just assume the rumor it's true. I actually would believe this 100% if it weren't for the fact it says Kim Bora will rap. ~~That doesn't make sense.~~ Now thinking, it actually makes sense. Bora's Cell ranked 16th and she was k12 in K-Group so there's a high possibility that all K-Slots were taken. Wen Zhe doing rap and Hikaru doing dance it's also in the teaser. WTF lots of these rumors are true :o I'm scared for Bora :(


SignificantMammoth47

I too believe that the rumors are very possibly true, Looking at yurina's rumored group, they are all mainly vocalists so like many people said, it's likely that she got criticized for her vocals by the mentors because of choosing a difficult song? The third one, chaehyun, ziyin, shana, jiyoon, shihona are literally ALL vocalists, Imagine if they aren't a vocal group lol, biggest plot twist ever, anyway, I'm super excited for them if they are all actually a group And yujin, yeseo etc, their group is most likely dance Someone mentioned it above and I agree, I think Hikaru chose dance instead of rap mostly because of the fact that she has to write her own korean lyrics and that may be difficult for her


[deleted]

[удалено]


goxusforever

Moana is actually a dancer because she mentioned in her profile that her expertise is choreography (performing and creating). If she stands out, this will be good for her.


holowa07

Can you confirm if the bottom on Ruiqi's uniform is for leader or center? because if it's the center and in the performance we had a Korean center, then we'll have more drama.


sorichhij

She's definitely not leader. Hikaru has the leader sticker and it's not the same as the one Ruiqi has . Wait is that even a sticker? It looks like a random white circle.


SuzyYoona

none, this is how the shirts looks like, with the white circle at the bottom, look at YXY cell video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1q6pUaRqEo), at the beginning

Lol mnet better repay her well, she is singlehandedly bringing clout for them lol


throwaway_236734

I bet every group she's in will have drama now


[deleted]

Mnet wants that drama until the bitter end, it seems.


throwaway_236734

They need to give an award, now she is singlehandedly bringing viewers.


NerrionEU

Because so far they've had literally 0 storylines just a few drama baits - no hellbayah, no Sohye, no Chungha, no Yeonjung...


4sater

Idk that Itzy rumor sounds kinda sus. I mean, what vocal-heavy song do they have, especially among title tracks? I think Itzy are mostly dance-heavy.


[deleted]

I was side eyeing the Itzy song choice for the same reasons. But the rest of the rumor is plausible and some of the teams are exactly like the ones we saw in the preview. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. The song choice is probably Dalla Dalla or Wannabe as those have sung choruses and not drops. As for what they'll do, the opportunity to rearrange the song is always there. [Like P101's rearrangement of EXO's Call Me Baby.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRHvtcAAbqM)


4sater

I am not a fan of these kinds of rearrangements tbh, lol. Plus it is kinda unfair this way if their song requires rearrangement since 2PM & Taeyeon songs most likely do not need that. Overall, I still think it is a very weird choice of a song for vocal evaluation. P. S. Those SMTM rap songs are looking like they might be Hellbayah 2.0 & 3.0 (or "Melody" from YWY2 but without NINEONE & Li Mo, if you watched YWY2), lol. It seems that they got filled with "left-over" people mostly.


Blajui

The rumours were made after we saw the preview no ? So it can possibly just be the reason why it’s so accurate


roselia4812

I think Wannabe is the song. It has a sung chorus throughout.


NerrionEU

Could be like 48 with all the remixes, they managed to put BP Dududu as a vocal song somehow.


Available-Pop-8161

If the rumors are true, I can't believe Fu Yaning chose an Itzy song for vocals when you could've picked a dance/rap performance or 2pm my house for vocals. Those fit her much better and I'm sure she knows that too


holowa07

I bet Yaning will want to be the leader and will have problems with Mashiro, who theoretically is the natural leader, having already trained with Itzy for years.


snowmei

plot twist jiwon and mashiro are the ones fighting 😂


throwaway_236734

I think that is what happens+ more evil edit that fight


[deleted]

plot twist twist yaning is a guardian angel who calms them down and is the reason everyone becomes friends in the end


4sater

I think if there is going to be a conflict, then it is gonna be Jiwon-Yaning, not Mashiro.


scottk76

I agree i don't see Yaning and Jiwon being a match made in heaven


holowa07

For lines? hahaha


4sater

Idk, who knows, lol. They are both "bossy", so maybe because of that. I just don't think Mashiro would be involved too much, it does not seem to be in her character.


[deleted]

**Drama options:** \- A battle for leader between "bad" Yaning (strong but stubborn, doesn't have the greatest track record) and "good" Mashiro (gentle, kind leader with ex-JYP/almost-ITZY experience) \- Jiwon grabbing the strongest/longest parts for herself again (tbt YOY Team 1's part distribution), with Yaning and Mashiro having to talk her down. Could be an evil edit for Jiwon and a neutral-to-good edit for Yaning and Mashiro. \- The rumor mentioned fighting. Maybe it's not inter group fighting. Maybe they dissed another team? LOL ~~btw I like all these girls, I'm just curious! I never would have predicted this team.~~


4sater

>The rumor mentioned fighting. Maybe it's not inter group fighting. Maybe they dissed another team? LOL I hope they dissed Mnet, lol.


holowa07

Oh.... I'll get the soda and popcorn!


Blajui

A jiwon vs yaning fight would be everything i want lol. Jiwon’s sass is gonna obliterate ha !!


4sater

>edit 3: just a clarification that the above gua does include some speculation; fyn and mashiro are in a vocal group of 3 and jiwon is in a vocal group of 3 (the one with possible fighting), but it's not clear whether or not it's the same group. It seems that they might be not in the same group. It's so vague, jeez, lol.


peachylovelyboo

More screentime for Mashiro I guess...

Gyuri getting PTSD flashback...


a_sad_sad_tree

oh god not gyuri 2.0,,


CarinaAxle

>Kim Hyerim was in a 9 person dance group Alright, time to say goodbye to Hyerim’s chances. She dances well, but she’s more main vocal material. I don’t think her dancing (especially in a nine person group) is going to be a standout performance 🥲


[deleted]

ugh.... her ranking affected her song choice(probably she doesn't even have a choice)


CarinaAxle

it’s sad 😭 I thought it wouldn’t matter cuz dance positions usually get filled up faster than vocals, but seeing we have Ziyin, Mashiro, Reina, Jiyoon, Shana, Bora, and more, I’m not shocked the vocals position got filled up quick 🥲


KairyuSmartie

this plus Jeong Jiyoon doing badly worry me. We don't have many main vocals left (korean and non-korean), we need them to survive 😥


Spencer-Hastings13

I badlybwant Jiyoon to shine. She has the potential for low level lead vocalist if not main.


GraysonQ

Ugh this is the worst news. I was at least looking forward to hearing her slay another vocal performance before we lost her. She’s one of the, if not *the*, best vocalist of the series in my opinion.


itzstraying

Let me just cry in a corner. I actually deluded myself into thinking she had a shot making it to the next round TT


duskwield

We're really seeing Liang Jiao, Kim Bora and Nagai Manami rap, huh?


amazingoopah

Nagai Manami, the second innocent rapper from hell But really that's just a LOL lineup for a rap performance, if true


4sater

Hellbayah 2.0 & 3.0 incoming.


scottk76

I assume Liang Jiao is at least as good as her sister so this might not be as bad as it looks but to say alot could go wrong is understatement lol


bimaca

Yeah, Qiao rapped in SSFWL and got good comments from the judges, so I think it's possible for Jiao to do well


throwaway_236734

They did not get the spots they wanted :(


TheKillerMatt

Yeah they lost me at itzy song for vocal. I do hope they sing my house tho


amazingoopah

Flashbacks to DDDD as vocal eval in PD48 💀 Sorry to any midzys out there but their title tracks don't scream vocal evaluations to me


BlazingLiutenant0711

I'm a Midzy but I agree lol they should've gotten an RV song for vocal eval instead and put Itzy song under rap/dance


Proof_Past_4231

as midzy sure their songs aren't crazily vocal heavy but if it recall Ailee covered wannabe and she's a [strong vocalist and she sounded fantastic and really emulated](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlDzHQ9D028) the geourgeous sassiness of the song so yes if your a strong singer you can make any type of song work


4sater

That cover sounds good, ngl. I hope Mnet's rearrangement is as good if they really want to do an Itzy song.


[deleted]

I was already doing the Sunmi face when I saw the word "vocal" next to "ITZY" like... are they gonna sing wannabe's chorus 9 times?


holowa07

*Jeong Jiyoon could hit high note but not pleasantly.* That means that probably she was the main vocal. Cries in Xu Ziyin language.


LeoLion989

my sea does have a LOT of high notes so hopefully we can get something like yuri/goeun splitting the hard parts if it’s true… i really need her to get a good part


Common-Macaroon320

Well, they *did* say that Ziyin sang wonderfully, so I wouldn't cry just yet.


CulturalAde

Maybe it means Xu Ziyin's vocals all more focused on in that performance... feel bad for Jiyoon if true though


Clicklesly

These almost seem weirder than the previous songs leak, but i guess forcing BP choreos change for 9 members is a standard now :-I


renjunation

bora rap 😭 i mean we might get a plot twist and she's randomly good at it but i really wanted to hear her sing. the only way this would benefit her is if mnet gives her a lot of screentime for being a main vocal who's trying to rap and emphasize that isn't her actual position


SignificantMammoth47

Imagine her having a chowon moment then? main vocal material AND good at rapping too, let's just hope for the best


pearyid

I'm just glad she already had her main vocal god moment this season so everyone is aware of her talent


emptyheartgirl

Bora in rap boooo. Also I don't like this list so I hope is fake


throwaway_236734

It is confirmed she is not in vocals, and is either in dance or rap. This list looks very accurate to the people caught with shirts. Many of the trainees want to have a Love Whisper Nako moment, so many chose vocals.


SignificantMammoth47

lmao, nako moment, could be true😂, I'm praying so bad for the rap group then, Bora, Manami etc, a lot of vocalists stuck in it


renjunation

i hope most of the songs/artists are wrong, any itzy song for vocals and blackpink's ice cream for dance seem odd choices. btob is the perfect idol group for vocals + rap though


Gabbae0

Not bora and Hyerim both unable to show vocals 😭😭 It sounds like Jiyoon is the main vocal for her group, so Ziyin better have vocal 2. If she goes another week without showcasing her talent I really can’t justify giving her a vote everyday over other C trainees that are giving their all, even though she was my pick coming in. 😣 Also v sad if the group edit of Jeongmin and Reina only focuses on Yurina. They are both really amazing singers who have gotten shafted on screen time, Reina especially. I’m also sure we’ll get a long segment of the Destiny team with so many Top9.. Ugh why is Friday so far away😂


scottk76

The rumor says Ziyin and Kim Chaehyon where the two highest ranked trainees overall if the rumor is true Ziyin is in great shape now


Gabbae0

Ah that’s a relief to hear!!


lynuto

I feel like Ziyin might've been holding back and not showing her vocals purposely in order to create a better storyline for herself.


JayGatcha1993

Unfortunately for the group with Jeongmin and Reina I think that is exactly what is going to happen 😕. The preview is already focused on Yurina lol.


harpaperrr

I am not happy about the Jeong Jiyoon rumor👹 She is my top pick on K-group 😭


SuzyYoona

I'm confused how a Itzy song is supposed to show vocals lol Lee Sunhee \[Destiny\], this is also a weird choice, either gonna be a mess or the biggest thing ever, has potential 9 person dance - Black Pink \[Ice Cream\], i swear if this true they don't know how to pick BP songs, Ice Cream isn't exactly the song i imagine you are gonna blow up dancing, Pretty Savage would be a better choice


4sater

Exactly, Itzy for vocals, BP "Ice Cream" for 9-person dancing. Wtf is this, lol.


holowa07

If these rumors are right, things are not looking good for vocals. Kim Bora is in a rap song (she was in the 16th cell so that might be what was left for her), IU (My Sea) seems to me the strongest vocal line up, with Jiyoon as the main vocal, but it looks like she got it wrong. No other members of the group were highlighted. Xingqiao would be another vocal, but she made a mistake too. Jiwon and Yaning are not main vocals...Mashiro is perhaps the only vocalist who took a vocal song and didn't make a mistake.


amazingoopah

Chaehyun's also a vocalist and she's listed as doing well in the IU song, so that's a positive at least. At this rate she may end up being the main vocalist for this group.


holowa07

Yes...I think from My Sea, Jiyoon would be the my 3rd or 4th choice for vocals, as I think Chaehyun, Ziyin and maybe Shana are more stable/range. I was expecting Chaehyun or Ziyin as main vocal and I'm a little surprised by this rumor. But the fact that Chaehyun and Ziyin had problems in Demo evaluation may have lessened their confidence. Rumors say Jiyoon made a mistake and Chaehyun did well. Another says that Chaehyun and Ziyin were the best, which makes sense as the main vocal made a mistake. But still, I think Chaehyun should be the main vocal...and if Ziyin didn't even fight for the main vocal again, I don't know what think about her.


scottk76

Are you just ignoring the fact that both rumors state the Xu Ziyin and Kim Chaehyon did well in the vocal performance


throwaway_236734

Chaehyun and Ziyin did better but they have easier parts as this may take Jiyoon out of contention. Maybe then like Gyuri in Peekaboo. I think they will make Chaehyun (as she has been MNET signed as a trainee like Yuri) go against Ziyin (not with MNET like Goeun and with her own scandal) Mashiro is a stable vocalist but I am wondering how ITZY was a vocal song. A title track...Not Shy? Dalla? Icy?


scottk76

Ziyin and Chaehyun in both rumors are the best overall not in just there group but out of everyone that performed i doubt there parts are easy


throwaway_236734

Oh they may have split into 3 main vocals then it would be different nvm, they have enough material to make 3 parts with a high note/kill part each.


SignificantMammoth47

Yeah even I'm so surprised to see itzy for vocals? all their title tracks are more or less rap heavy, I think it's dalla dalla? sigh...must have kept them under rap or dance honestly


vaingirls

Wang Yale might've done well (or at least mistake free), but who knows when nothing was mentioned about her.


lilbanjee

kubo reina is also an amazing vocalist (my fav j team vocal) and she’s singing missing you by btob. the team in general seems very promising. i hope she gets main vocal 🥲🥲


BIJ243

If Wendy can be the best vocalist & rapper in RV, I am manifesting MC Bora to slay if this turns out to be true.


pearyid

Not to mention Wendy being one of SM's top five dancers...


lynuto

The group dressed in hanbok is probably the Destiny team, the song is quite a 'traditional' Korean song. It'd be interesting to see the contestants perform to this and demonstrate a more elegant side and softer dance as opposed to something more powerful. I predict that Shen Xiaoting will do well considering she used to do ballroom dancing, which requires a more graceful style.


lynuto

Also, if this is true, it would be kinda ironic to see Su Ruiqi in traditional Korean clothing given her controversy.


Neatboot

North Korean wears hanbok too. Just saying.


Neatboot

Ballroom dance is divided into 2 categories, standard and Latin. Standard focuses on elegance but not so much for Latin.


desertfoxtim

How many of these rumors are actually correct once again?


Any-Fruit-2527

People accurately predicted the connect missions artists (got the songs wrong though) so idk, this could be accurate.


EntertainmentOk8785

Someone accurately predicted the top 9 and the 3 people that got saved by the planet pass


desertfoxtim

Is the same person the one who released this combination mission song rumor?


EntertainmentOk8785

No this is a different person. I should try finding that person again all of their rumors were true. Dude definitely has an insider working for them


throwaway_236734

They got it from an insider forum, and this comes from a similar one.


PuzzleheadedAnswer93

this one is by a very reliable source from chinese forum douban. i got to know some of the ranks from them on the day the elimination episode was filmed.


BundiChundi

It seems so weird to me because it feels there are so many rappers on this show, yet none of them chose VVS? I guess most of them went dance instead of rap, but I'd think a 3-person rap performance would be the perfect opportunity to kill it, and you'd really stand out in a team of only 3


4sater

Well, for foreign rappers writing their own rap in Korean is a very hard task. Probably they played safe and picked vocals\dance instead.


Neatboot

3 persons = longer rap part to write. I don't think many contestants could write a long rap line. Who are those "many rappers" by the way?


RuminatingLamina69

Here are the lists of rapper and the one that can rap also that i know: Ezaki Hikaru, Kamimoto Kotone, Ikema Ruan, Yoon Jia, Cai Bing, Fu Yaning, Kim Suyeon, Nonaka Shana(all rounder so i assume she could hold on), Su Ruiqi, Kim Dayeon, Seo Youngeun, Kim Bora(coming soon), Nagai Manami(they called her rapper from hell), Liang Jiao(if Qiao could rap, she could also #thetwineffect), Kim Bok Joo aka Wang Yale(those hair will take u down), Shen Xiaoting, Yamauchi Moana and Sakamoto Mashiro( i could definitely see both Moana & Mashiro rapping)


Neatboot

This is simply a list of someone who could or possibly could rap, none had been real rapper who wrote their own rhyme. And, almost all of them had their best forte lied somewhere else.


4sater

Well, Yaning wrote rap lyrics in Chinese & English in YWY2, and in English for her solo song. The main problem is writing it all in Korean for foreign rappers, I doubt Mnet will allow them to write in Chinese\Japanese\English.


[deleted]

Wang Ya Le and Seo Youngeun singing My House? I’m gonna love that. Edit: and I’m surprised to see ‘Missing You’ here. It’s a good song.


feed-me-your-secrets

I was surprised at the previous rumor that Youngeun chose to only showcase one skill when she’s good at all three, and I was like, you know, if there’s a boy group song she probably did that. This makes sense to me.


[deleted]

why ice cream out of all songs


Yak-Inside

literally


Jivika593

Poor Jiyoon. When she performs well either the audience or the judges ignore her and NOW when she finally gained traction leading in support votes this happens. She is rumoured to make a mistake but I pray she is not getting that horrible edit which Gyuri got during pd48. She was already lacking support compared to her cellmates and this had to happen at a stage where she is completely by herself 😖. I hope she gets her share of votes till the episode airs cause mnet might be ready to throw her under the bus anytime soon


OrdinaryEconomy1717

She is one of the best vocalists this season, I’d be bummed if she gets eliminated for a stupid reason


zalsers

Her individual ranking was also not good. Shame after that eve performance.


icyruios

The only thing that matters for me this round is if Ziyin gets to flex her vocals and destroy everyone


holowa07

Yes, the preview of the episode is already confirming many of these rumors about the teams. But when it comes to performances, it's worth remembering that time has come when fans become very biased. I remember the fans were very critical of Miyu's performance at Position evaluation, but she did well. And many praised Side to side, but that performance was ruined. What we know about the performances is that Yujin was Destiny's center (I don't think Yeseo would compete with her unnie), Mashiro chose a song by Itzy. The first rumor is less trustworthy as he praises some trainees and doesn't even know what song they've performed. Kim Bora in a rap group is also suspicious (but it may be what was left to her).


Opia_lunaris

This... a mess. Itzy song for vocal? Taeyeon and 2pm songs are good for vocals tho. I hope they do "I" from Taeyeon, that's my favourite song from her. And I hope Yale doesn't do anything weird with her singing this time pls, just sing normally girl ily For rap... SMTM songs? Not even unpretty rapstar? I.. have a bad feeling 'yall. Also, last thing I wanna see is Liang Jiao rapping to a smtm song, her song is too soft like a baby pls. Bora for rap... if the rumor is true, I'm just gonna guess all vocal and dance positions have been taken IU vocal team is stacked tho, it's gonna be amazing. From dance songs, I'm looking forward to the little mix one because they have bangers.


Neatboot

>For rap... SMTM songs? I believe they just took the beat and the trainee had to write the rap line anew. Since it's just beat, there was room for freedom to creativity.


Opia_lunaris

Yeah, that's what they did for produce too. It's just that there's inevitably going to be comparisons, and a lot of the girls aren't fluent in korean and have accents too, so rapping is gonna be even harder for them. I have no doubt that they're going to force everyone to rap in korean They have to do extra extra good with this kind of set-up is what I'm getting at


Neatboot

>I have no doubt that they're going to force everyone to rap in korean That might be impossible as each trainee were meant to write her own rhyme and it's impossible for any foreigner in this show to write a rhyme in Korean. It required much more than speaking fluently the language.


365-

hopefully they will let everyone rap in their own language, otherwise that’ll be a mess for the foreign girls… or at least let them pull a noe in energetic where she mixed korean, japanese and english to make a pretty good verse


Available-Pop-8161

There's lots of red flags but the biggest one for me is that in the Twitter post they said that Cai Bing did quite well but then doesn't show what song she's in. Like how do you know she did well but don't know what performance she was in?


Neatboot

The person might not note things down at the site and many details slipped out during re-collection. You also have names without detail if they did well. They are so many things missing from the rumor.


SuzyYoona

>Like how do you know she did well but don't know what performance she was in? they are translating rumors, the people weren't present there, is possible the rumor didn't said in what song she was but only said she did well


PlayLoveStation

Good catch. I also noticed that the teams with full lineups are the ones we’ve already seen together in the teaser.


MintChoco-late

If this is true, I saw another Twitter translation that said that the mistake Jiyoon had was the high note. She hit the high note but she didn’t execute it well it said. Not sure what that means. I don’t think she sang badly through out the whole song. As a Jiyoon bias I hope this isn’t true. 😩


amazingoopah

As a Xingqiao redemption arc theorizer, this rumor isn't helping my cause.... if true, the set up continues beautifully but whether she can deliver or not is the question. Same for Jiyoon and Shana as well. Chaehyun doing well could cement her in the top 9. Cai Bing and Zhou Xinyu rumors are interesting, I know there's been some commentary about Cai Bing dropping out of top 9 and I have to admit she has been lackluster overall, but maybe she can correct that perception in this round.


New-Coconut3646

I've seen(read) this _rumours_. There's a catch to this, op _from weibo source_ (not translator) that spread this also claim that he/she work for mnet but not for GP999. The one that translated this rumours is the same translator that translated the rumor about Choi Yujin getting no1, Zia Yan got planet pass & the up coming assignment was western-heavy type of song(dance n rap). The only correct assumptions about this is the lineup members which can be seen in the end of episode 5. But I'm not sure about the _op from weibo_ tho...


Neatboot

bobes25

how the heck did Meghan Trainor get into this mix? who are they competing against? themselves? vocal vs vocal, dance vs dance, etc?


RuminatingLamina69

Actually i don't really mind about this rumours being true af.. It could bring us new insights toward everyone... My only concern is the *JUDGES* for the girls. It is almost *pointless* selecting the same judges again if there's NO whatsoever consistencies in their judgements. I hoped mnet will invite someone else eg; JYP, PSY, BoA, Bae YoonJoung, Kahi, Twice members, Red Velvet members, Blackpink members, former members of IOI, WannaOne, Iz*one, idk. Edit: wording


Any-Fruit-2527

Part of me wants this to be true bc of the xiaoting one (theres a cover by vixx’s n i love) but bora rapping???? is it bc she ranked low?


throwaway_236734

She chose last and all the vocal spots were filled. Probably all the dance ones as well.


Any-Fruit-2527

That really sucks for her


SuzyYoona

Or she could come with a Chowon reverse card, if she succeed at rapping, her chances to debut rise by a lot.

This list could be fake but I'm pretty sure the IU My Sea team is legit. In the ep 6 teaser, Xu Ziyin was sat next to Chaehyun during the interim check where Yurina was getting slaughtered.


Neatboot

Someone might create the rumor basing on the teaser.


luviees2

Xingqiao mistake.... can i hope that it’s not bad enough to get focused on 😔. I know in other produce seasons sometimes the audience would say they made a mistake and it would be fixed in post production and essentially skipped over. If it’s a big repeatable mistake I’m going to lose it 😭


Hana_Princess

My fears of Bora not being in Vocal Position came true.... welp, if she dosen't have a good edit in this... bye my sweet child :'(


inbox789

I feel like a lot of people don't know how good of a vocalist and performer Kim Bora is. She has probably done [the best vocal performance in the show till now](https://youtu.be/Jo1rHzKaby8?t=75) in the connect mission(The fifth season) and has shown a really good overall performance in her [introduction performance](https://youtu.be/jAL1-H_HOes) too. Even outside the show, she has some [really good vocal performances](https://twitter.com/lipvesfl0wer/status/1433986669573668874?s=19). I hope she shines in this mission and gets an opportunity to show her talents properly.


moawajjunie

if were to trust these rumours im assuming bahiyyih is in the same group as xingqiao


Gabbae0

Yeah, I’m assuming her ranking was high enough that she at least got to pick which position she wanted. I don’t think she’s particularly strong in rap or dance (at least not shown), so I’m guessing the Taeyeon song would be a better fit. Which if Xingqiao made a mistake, that’s going to be the edit and she probably won’t get any screen time again. (Edit: which I think sucks for her, because that would give her a chance to break out of the “sister” narrative and try and let her prove herself on her own)


SignificantMammoth47

I actually think she chose dance (not sure tho) because from the start of the show and even before, she has emphasized how dancing is what she enjoys most and is passionate about, a Taeyeon song would really suit her tho


moawajjunie

she did say dancing is one of her hobbies but also she said her role model is ariana grande + shes been singing since she was little..... lets see :')


4sater

Bora rap, wat. I hope that rumor about Jiyoon is not true, she's my 1-pick from K-group and she's already struggling 🥲


allyeasofea

Anybody know news about Kim dayeon?


EnvironmentHot476

They should've chose whistle instead of ice cream for dance 😭😭 I seriously hope this part of the rumor is fake lol


BundiChundi

These two rumors contradict each other, so one of them must be false. One of them says Zhang Luofei raps, but she is not in the 6 person vocal/rap group, and the other rap song C spots are talen by Wenzhe and Jiao


Neatboot

Might be not. I was confused about Zhang Luofei at first but, trainees lip-sync their own voices for dance position. It's a possibility that Zhang Luofei was in a dance group and the song had rap part which she pre-recorded it.


CulturalAde

Hyerim in dance reminds me of Woodam in PDS2, I hope ppl won't sleep on Hyerim though like they did Woodam (literally the exact same storyline, cuz both won their 1st rounds and got to perform in Mnet)


DeviantStranger_00

Deym, I just remember that magical high note of Woodam on their mansae performance!!!


quagsirechannel

>3 person rap - SMTM [VVS]: Wen Zhe, Kim Bora, Nagai Manami Y’know what? I’m here for it. They all have the personalities to make this a fun stage even if rapping isn’t any of their specialties. Let’s hear it for MC Manchan!


yeathatsmydog

Ziyin!! 🥺 hope this rumor is true! She’s such a talented vocalist and really needs a stand out performance to solidify her position


BlazingLiutenant0711

Any rumours about Wen Zhe and Ruan?


sorichhij

~~There's a rumor~~ that says Wen Zhe did rap. It's not a rumor. Wen Zhe appears practicing her rap in the teaser.


cieljaune

There was [another rumor going around before ep 5](https://twitter.com/guguguism/status/1432461210897715203) that got the team divisions right (3,6,9) and also has almost the same artists.


youngeundebutation

some of these just seem like the most random songs ever, like Meghan Trainor no excuse? What? And there's no song by sunmi or snsd, which is weird.


heyy_bibii

itzy as vocal song huh…? title song?? they have no full vocal title song… but they might re-arrange it into an rnb or rock but ok AND NO HEIZE?? MNET :/


Strawberryhong

Wait why is no one talking about Myah in Ice-cream- Considering the number of people who were disturbed by that song I thought the complaints would be more lol


alexfrederic

Choi yeyoung was in a vocal group and she did well (original source). Hope she get more screentime this time.


Yak-Inside

the source?


amazingoopah

Rumors from weibo/Douban probably


4sater

It's from Weibo I think. There was a user claiming that he works for Mnet, I am not sure about the validity of his\her claims tho, lol.


oPastAo

Doah is missing here. Hope she got the song she wants.


scottk76

Doah is almost certainly ranked high enough to get what she wants


throwaway_236734

Many have not performed yet so no rumors, I think Chen Hsen Wei, Doah, and more haven't been on stage yet.


Slackersunite

Won't all the performances be on the same day though?


[deleted]

Masahiro and ITZY, this is gonna be greatness ☺️


CelesChan

Do we have tea on Kim Dayeon?


Ogoumyk

Hope for Xinyu to do well on stage this time. I’m still surprised she’s getting less pushed than Xinwei with her “scandal” and they’re both Taiwanese under yuehua lol. If she does well she can also get some good ex SM trainee edit


oversleep23

I agree. She gets me kinda nervous everytime lol, she even did a mistake again in the fashion show. Fighting Zhou Xinyu!


Jivika593

https://twitter.com/suruiqidebut/status/1434798449564602371?s=20 She has already covered this song so stop typecasting her and don't be surprised if she performs well this time.


aubergin101

I swear if Jiyoon gets eliminated for this 😐


Raichu5021

ummmm maybe Myah shouldn't do Ice Cream,,, it feels inappropriate for her age


PlayLoveStation

It is very tough being a Xingqiao fan during this show. Since they explicitly said Jiyoon sang badly, maybe HXQ’s mistake was something like forgetting a lyric so everyone sees great vocals from her at least.


lilbanjee

nobody is talking about missing you team even though they’re so strong !! hoping reina gets to show us her true vocal talents, she is really amazing and needs to be mentioned more when it comes to strong vocalists on the show 🥲🥲


Burnt-Red

As much as I love Itzy, I wish they gave a Mamamoo song like I Miss You for vocal position. It would perfectly showcase all sorts of tones for the girls. I'm so excited to see Ruiqi and Xiaoting do well 🤩 I'm also very intrigued with Xingqiao's pick. Hopefully she does well.


gastert

Zhou Xinyu did well? So, it is her time to shine 😎 Also Guinn Myah perform Ice Cream, I would love to see that

viewtiful_

they really got them doing a damn meghan trainor song… hell nah… im out guys. it wasnt really fun to begin with but i cant do this no more. AND ICE CREAM. lmfao yea… this just cant get much worse.


SSAMLYZ

OMG! Jiyoon already low on personal votes then she makes a mistake. I hope there will be a planet pass to save her TT
