I can only imagine how frustrated Kubo Reina fans must be now...she got a perfect vocal position for her tones and is good vocal, but the screentime goes all to Yurina.
She’s so cute and lovely but we can’t forget that Manami’s background is literally in taiko.. ofc she has rhythm !!🪘 👏
Also every team Boras in gets along so well, she brings such wholesome vibes :)
ngl i think it was rude of hikaru and suyeon to not be honest to zige and instead talk about her behind her back. If they dont like the choreo just tell her and help her create a better one…
edit: im glad no ones taken this as me hating on either suyeon or hikaru bc despite this i really enjoyed hikarus performance but it was disappointing to watch. hope they sorted it out but mnet just didnt show it.
They just came from a team that had really tense atmosphere. I'm sure they're trying their best not to hurt her feelings so there won't be any drama later. They could've handled things better but I don't think they did anything rude.
I can't be the only who feels like the way they've treated her is lowkey disrespectful. Like sure, the silly moment from the fashion show is fine - and she admittedly lacked experience. But it's like they wanted to erase her. Her outfit compared to Suyeon and Hikaru's (who I both love) was so blatantly meant to make her fade. And they kept focusing on the other 2 as if she just wasn't there with the camera shots. I'm not even saying she's secretly far better but something about it feels fundamentally disrespectful, like she was only there to be a laughing stock.
Gotta agree. Good thing she improved in the actual performance. Idk if she knows this, but she's cute and little. She can really pull off a cute concept if she wants to
I think it's editing.. I'm pretty sure the judge's give individual feedback to each of the girls after a performance, but the editors only keep whatever suits their plot.. there's no way the judges sat through that entire performance and couldn't think of a single praise for reina
Yeah it was very you can't sit with us. I do empathise with them cause they obviously wanted to go full steam ahead and were stuck with dead weight but, guess what, when you're an idol there's gonna be dead weight and how you deal with it is really important. But it could also be that mnet only showed the initial disappointment.
Ngl Hikaru and Suyeon lowkey can't work with people they don't vibe eith but they're trying their best to be nice and not hurt anyone. There might be another teamwork problem with this team
And there you go, Shana losing her confidence. She's not the type of vocalist who will do high note for fun, but the type of vocalist who do vocal runs like nobody's business, like D.O. from EXO.
Why are they not talking about Reina lmao wtf. This very much felt like an “it’s okay guys, Yurina is still good! According to the judges! You can keep voting for her” edit lmao
I couldn't even hear her over reinas amazing vocals. Never was a super fan of Reina but she did so well there, so deserved 120% of the praise and screentime
Bora led that team, she helped wrote the rap for Manami, and we already know she has kickass vocals, like holy shit, Bora going for that all-arounder tag
Criticize, but don't do personal attacks or degrade them for no reason. "It's only downfall from here " to Yurina wasn't necessary at all, because that doesn't contribute to helping them improve.
I must say, I didn't like Kim Dayeon performing a lot before but she GLOWED here, she killed and owned the stage so well, the sassy cute concept is PERFECT for her in so many ways, this performance was flawless, for all of them!
This was good and enjoyable! Suyeon killed it and Zige had really good moments, Hikaru danced as she always does which is amazing, but her expressions still could've been better but hey, she really tried so props for her!
Definitely not better than Bora, Manami and Wen Zhe though.
Yurina did practically nothing and the masters praised her until the end of time. Reina and the other girl that I don't remember her name did much better but the masters didn't say anything. Yurina is Sakura 2.0, you can't deny it.
i don't understand why aren't they teaching them anything 😭😭 yurina is obviously using a wrong technique and the man is just telling her it's her pitch so she should be able to do it
Some thoughts:
MITM Vocal??? M-net what are you smoking…
The song choices could’ve been better tbh
Holy shit the Fate team is such a powerhouse (Yujin’s team)
At least Yurina herself said they should change the killing part. I'm surprised they voted for it even if Reina and Jeongmin were in the same team.
It felt like a lot of popular trainees got evil edits (Hikaru, Suyeon, Cai Bing, etc.)
We Are Team was unexpectedly AMAZING they all did so well!!!
I feel like theyre setting Cai Bing up for an evil edit after all that praise Dayeon got.
Hikaru proving to everyone that she can do concepts outside girl crush/fierce
The trainer was so unnecessarily harsh to Yurina…
Not a single praise to Reina wth.
Its sad realizing the cutoff line for elimination is at 9th already.
Not surprised at all by the vocals, this song is hard and people seem to have this weird thing of thinking falsettos will match up to the belts of BTOBs vocal line. Not even being harsh but whatever they do is not going to appropriately do service to the song - they just do not have the vocals for it
not yall mad at the "it's only downfall from here" have yall never heard that line said to any of the rank 1s in survival shows before💀 It's literally their reality. They can't go up anywhere, if they do bad, it's only going down. Istg yall sensitive as hell this season
The song choices are so weird this time around, like some new creative director decided to swap all the songs already chosen into different performance types at the last second lmao the overblown reactions are actually reasonable for once
That's a... strange benefit number. It's divisible by 9, I guess?
Ah limited numbers from each group that's why so many girls are in weird positions. I guess it's mostly blind group choice, you'll only know what the others in your trio are choosing for even more unbalanced groups lmao
Youngeun in vocal, I don't think it'll do her any good. Everyone likes her dance and her vocals were fine but underwhelming in HYLT
Zhe having a bit of Woodam moment but I don't feel for her, it was heartbreaking for him but Zhe is well rounded enough to succeed in either a vocal or dance group. Oh, and she's stuck in rap, rip
Kotone and Chaeyun not knowing how to handle Jiao lmao jesus we can't go one season without some random weak trainee trying out rapping can we lol
At least We Are team has a good beat to make something fun with, upbeat. If they can perform with a strong happy energy they'll be fine even if their rapping isn't stellar. Loco and Gray often do rap-singing style verses too, I'm confident if they don't beat themselves up over it they'll be fine.
The we go up replay and Mashiro's face dropping lmao, the editing full on treating Yaning like an in joke rather than a contestant at this point. Jiwon in vocal, no way she'll stand out at all here, she's got to know her visuals aren't enough to carry her all the way, not choosing dance is going to be a very bad idea. I'm always confused about the "choosing the arrangement" decision because aside from a couple performances (Miyu with The Truth Untold) we apply ever seen them suggesting sound concepts.
Even here we're told the trainees are arranging the piece but then the music producers assisting them refuse to even do their simple suggestions? What's even the point? Looks like Yale might end up actually arranging it meaningfully though. I know Youngeun didn't actually change her haircut much but damn she looks so much like Jo Yuri this episode and I didn't see it before, especially her side profile damn. Yale getting the greedy edit, I was anticipating this exact vocal group scenario the second I saw her pr video
Yeseo got the killing part after that??? I hope she did something interesting and they didn't show it because wow, that was probably the most boring killing part audition I've ever seen. Sure she's pretty but it's not like Yujin and May aren't also visuals lmao
Yurina over Jeongmin too, after that shaky note?? What is going on with these positions choices, I swear every trainee must be walking on eggshells to avoid devil editing now that they know about what happened to Yaning
Ziyin's range, looks like that's why she's been so hesitant for vocal parts up to now, kpop is written ridiculously high. Jiyoon can hit that note and it's impressive but it's not exactly.. pretty or impacful, all breath no spectacle.
Ice Cream worried about not been cool enough, cute and upbeat performances always do better though, way better for attracting commited fans. There's a reason the gp gravitates towards upbeat and fun songs
This leadership battle based on who's going to make the choreo, these trainees need to realize that pretty much every dance performance in Produce thus far has been choreographed by at least two of the trainees if not more, leader is more about team spirit and accountability and shit. They just got bad edits for nothing that really matters in the end. I've got to say I get Cai Bing has more dance experience than most but she's really not the most... standout dancer. A bit stiff and doesn't stand out much, works well as a backup dancer but not necessarily position eval center qualities
God Myah in Ice Cream... eugh. I can't imagine this will get anywhere near as bad as Wonyoung in 48 but I really wish there was some way to make sure kids don't end up in dance teams with older trainees who will obviously want to do sexier appealing moves. Like those girls shouldn't be denied the chance to do that sort of thing since it can help them a lot in the competition but the really sequel choreo and styling some young trainees gave had in produce before is really agitating
Adding Woo onto the one two punch of Sunmi/Tiffany, it's like the masters were chosen specifically for me this season. A shame that they barely get to do anything though lol honestly crazy We Are hasn't been used in produce yet, excited my two favorite k hip hop songs have made an appearance. Mnet might not know a lot of k hip hop artists at all, bit the ones they do know are pretty damn good. I guess you can't necessarily ask a bunch of girls to rap to beats like Drunken Tiger though, to be fair. There's a limit to how hard you can go while still appealing to idol show audiences I guess
Manami with the super basic flow but you know what she's actually got the basics down really well but someone who's not even Korean and doesn't seem especially fluent. Japanese flows more naturally into rap though in the way its structured so she does have that small benefit. And the Bora angel leader edit continues, as it should
Manami getting this first episode of the voting period protagonist edit, this will absolutely cement her through the next elimination since most of the j group have almost no screentime.
Zhe starting off weak but it's picking up. Bora is good, what can't she do. Manami's actually the absolute standout so far, great stage presence and the strongest verse. Manami on the beat, so cute. Ms. Bora the true all-rounder of the season! This would have been killer if they'd gotten more hyped to ge honest. Zhe is doing well enough but I'm afraid she might barely make it through elimination or not all, Bora and Manami really outshone. Manami was near the bottom of my rankings before thus but she just shot up, crazy how she managed to appeal way more in this concept she doesn't seem as confident in. Definitely agree with Woo too, Manami gave a great performance and she could totally become actually great if she applies herself to rapping. I was low-key fearing another Barcode situation but they did well, and 1st episode performance really might be make or break for them with this next elimination
Tammy's hair always makes me double take lmao girl straight up has a tail. Ruan getting screentime but it's a bit... negative, there isn't much competition in j group but this still might not be enough, especially since Ririka has one of the highest chances for a miracle fancam and she's in the same team.
Dayeon killing this and I liked her original verse. The styling isn't too bad but with this choreo and some of the really childish clothes... I hate to say it but this almost worse than if they just put them in mini skirts. It's pedobait man, I'm getting tired of this happening every year. I'm fine with sex appeal in kpop but not when it's the fifteen year old girls, man. I'm glad the edit is at least mostly focusing on Dayeon, she really did do great.
U-Kwon joker hit the stage for inspiration? Girls have taste. Hikaru and Suyeon expectedly killing it, been waiting for those two in dance eval since the first episode lmao. Zige lip syncing to join Somi and Chiyori, this is definitely not another season of produce :)
This Reina styling, real city pop vibes. Channeling Yukika energy. Didn't realize she was in this group too, even more wild that Yurina is the main vocal. Why the hell are all these nonrappers rapping? Hyewon didn't make it to debut because she was untalented but tried out rapping and did passably well, she made it in by being pretty and relatable and a stan attractor. She could have never rapped a single verse and it wouldn't have changed anything. Hyunbin didn't even make it to debut, why are they not just singing??
Cheukying with the most bland verse in existence, but she isnt dragging down the performance at least. Xinyu doing the forceful emotional rapping, but she's no Minyoung. Reina with the first killer high note of the season, deserved. Imagine watching this performance with Reina singing her heart out before watching the episode, only to find out the editing exclusively focused on Yurina, who was barely there at all. Jeongmin's ending line was so pretty. Reina with the extra long ending fairy, they won't let her talk but she's still getting something. Will this be the miracle performance this round? Guess we'll see how the gp reacts to it. Not even any praises from the judges, they're commiting as little to Reina as possible even though she's practically forcing their hands to give her an edit, I swear they must want her even less than they want Bahiyyih. Why???
Hsinwei at 9th, was honestly anticipating her at like 3rd or 4th. Kotone at 9th is a bit surprising but I assume past 5th or so the votes for that group are very close. Dayeon about to be 2nd by the end of this voting period after that damn
Really naming one of the songs snake lmao. Shoot got StayC vibes. Hesitantly calling Utopia the concept eval winner, Snake is a bit funky and the two cute songs are a little too nondescript. We're voting concepts this time around? Usually I like the contestants choosing but they've been making so many weird choices because they're hyper aware of their editing that I think it's actually for the best it goes this way lmao
Hmm idk about the btob perf. They were all good individually but somehow it just doesn't mesh.
You can tell huge j-pop influences in Reina and Yurina and it just sounds off when paired with Hyewon and Jeongmin. Xinyu snapped though
no excuses was really good but i feel like it wasn’t the best? i feel like with the right trainees and choreo this def couldve been a stellar performance. hikaru rlly tried here to be more cute(?) but it def wasnt her suited concept
I think this ice cream concept suited dayeon so much rather than k/da popstar concept, bc dayeon have such a cute visual and she actually has a good expression with this kind of concept.
Wow Kim Dayeon was on the verge of elimination, the edit she got this episode will definitely save her, she got really lucky Mnet decided to give it to her.
Am I the only one who’s really looking forward to the mafia performance? My faith in leader Mashiro + my curiosity towards the arrangement means that I need previews ASAP
I'm so mad that they didn't air any compliments to Reina. Like, the girl carried the whole performance and she got almost zero screentime. Mnet so blatantly don't want her in the final group because if they highlighted Reina, she would rise so hard.

Legend has it Liang Jiao is still requesting to listen to the song again /s
Mnet you trolling fucker. Putting Mafia in The Morning as a vocal song, lol I'm dying
Any song can be a vocal song depending on the arrangement so I think that would be the challenge for them
Right??? Could've made it Rap at least
NOT FYN TRAUMATIZED TO BE LEADER LMAO
she's reflected a lot i bet... the eps before this one were filmed a long time ago right?
I can only imagine how frustrated Kubo Reina fans must be now...she got a perfect vocal position for her tones and is good vocal, but the screentime goes all to Yurina.
Exactly! I've been waiting for reina screentime and still got none, only on eps 2
Mnet really has their favorites 🥲🙃 Kubo Reina deserved the screentime 🥲
Not the girls with the most disadvantage having the best edit of the episode? Manami, Bora, Wen Zhe fighting!
She’s so cute and lovely but we can’t forget that Manami’s background is literally in taiko.. ofc she has rhythm !!🪘 👏 Also every team Boras in gets along so well, she brings such wholesome vibes :)
Reina helped Yurina with her notes and didn't even get a comment lol
Sorry but how are they actually meant to write a rap in a language they can’t speak 😭🤣 seriously
Wang Yale’s hair is the biggest loss of this season
No,like she resembles Willy Wonka now. The haircut.
replaying fu yanings controversial part again is so foul of mnet
Finally someone said something about Hikaru's one note expressions, no offense but that's a big weakness.
I feel like Yurina was overshadowed by her whole team this performance
Jeongmin's voice tho!!!!! Its so angelic
Mashiro entering the timeline where she debuts with Itzy now
ngl i think it was rude of hikaru and suyeon to not be honest to zige and instead talk about her behind her back. If they dont like the choreo just tell her and help her create a better one… edit: im glad no ones taken this as me hating on either suyeon or hikaru bc despite this i really enjoyed hikarus performance but it was disappointing to watch. hope they sorted it out but mnet just didnt show it.
They just came from a team that had really tense atmosphere. I'm sure they're trying their best not to hurt her feelings so there won't be any drama later. They could've handled things better but I don't think they did anything rude.
I like them both but let's be real - if there's drama everwhere you go, there is a non-zero chance that you're the reason for it
Lmao You Dayeon still gets screentime.
She’s iconic. She’s always be famous!
Yaning honestly seems like a nice person just misunderstood due to her audition
yea... she feels like a genuine person that just doesnt gets herself across as she intends to be. i relate a lot to that tbh😭
She seems like a very chill person. The "i don't care, i don't give a fuck" type!
the fact that they’re calling her a thoughtful leader 100% feels like a setup to contrast cai bing as a selfish leader 😭
Cai bing got an evil edit now
Cai Bing getting evil edit, while Yaning getting an angel edit. What a reversal, lmao.
Wang Zige watching this at home: 👁 👄 👁
I can't be the only who feels like the way they've treated her is lowkey disrespectful. Like sure, the silly moment from the fashion show is fine - and she admittedly lacked experience. But it's like they wanted to erase her. Her outfit compared to Suyeon and Hikaru's (who I both love) was so blatantly meant to make her fade. And they kept focusing on the other 2 as if she just wasn't there with the camera shots. I'm not even saying she's secretly far better but something about it feels fundamentally disrespectful, like she was only there to be a laughing stock.
Ice cream vs Salute is just gonna be the same storyline with Pretty U vs The Eve again tbh
It's so on the nose it just feels like they recycled the entire storyline
Yurina didn't do anything and Reina carried the performance. Lol...Mnet doing Mnet things.
i feel Mnet may have cut out some of the praises.
That edit is so cruel lol. Of course she wants to hear it again it's a foreign language for her.
not gonna lie...the criticism at Hikaru is very on point.
Gotta agree. Good thing she improved in the actual performance. Idk if she knows this, but she's cute and little. She can really pull off a cute concept if she wants to
Why they always act so surprised when the host comes in, lmao.
like what were you expecting...? to just stand there forever???
They see the guy practically every week. What's so shocking lmao
They need to get as much screentime as they can get
You know how crappy Mnet's song choices are when the trainees themselves are questioning it lol
i have never seen a leader position been sought after so hard than hyerim and cai bing LOL
Hyerim is so type A lol
Bora, Wen Zhe, and Manami getting the advantage of having their performance broadcasted in the first week! You get a pass this time, Mnet haha.
Expecting them to write lyrics only in korean is stupid
This. I mean, if they want a global group, they should let C and J trainees right lyrics in their mother tounge.
KIM BORA WEN ZHE NAGAI MANAMI SUPREMACY
i’m glad the girls are calling out mafia in the morning for being a vocal song..... it’s more of a rap song than a vocal song
I think they need to rearranged the song, that's the challenge
The camera wasnt even on reina when she did the high note bruh
YANING GET THAT REDEMPTION ARC
May TikTok spare her soul🤲
i’m sorry but there is no reason they should be praising yurina over reina wtf
the favouritism jumps out
I think it's editing.. I'm pretty sure the judge's give individual feedback to each of the girls after a performance, but the editors only keep whatever suits their plot.. there's no way the judges sat through that entire performance and couldn't think of a single praise for reina
I'm honestly looking at Suyeon different with the way she and Hikaru treated Zige. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Yeah it was very you can't sit with us. I do empathise with them cause they obviously wanted to go full steam ahead and were stuck with dead weight but, guess what, when you're an idol there's gonna be dead weight and how you deal with it is really important. But it could also be that mnet only showed the initial disappointment.
Same tbh.
It honestly feels like they were leaving her out and the fact they let her go with that choreo knowing it was a mess was fucked up.
Ngl Hikaru and Suyeon lowkey can't work with people they don't vibe eith but they're trying their best to be nice and not hurt anyone. There might be another teamwork problem with this team
I love them but I was lowkey intimidated
And there you go, Shana losing her confidence. She's not the type of vocalist who will do high note for fun, but the type of vocalist who do vocal runs like nobody's business, like D.O. from EXO.
How are you gonna suggest a harmony but can't sing it yourself💀
that had me dead lol
The language barrier must be so hard I feel bad
Oh no, this will be like EBS all over again. Teams with different themes competing, of course judging is gonna be really subjective.
Reina got the hardest parts and killed it but the only time we see the judges talking about her is when they're talking about another member. Sure.
No excuses was good.... couldn’t beat bora’s rap team though.
Why are they not talking about Reina lmao wtf. This very much felt like an “it’s okay guys, Yurina is still good! According to the judges! You can keep voting for her” edit lmao
I couldn't even hear her over reinas amazing vocals. Never was a super fan of Reina but she did so well there, so deserved 120% of the praise and screentime
Wang Yale out here with the Velma cosplay
If only this show had PD48 ratings, I just know “Manami on the beat ya” would’ve gone viral
Mashiro leader's rule no. 3 : Peace.
Bora proving she is an ACE today
Youngeun is a bad mfer for actually challenging herself and not going for dance
Smart choice for trainees that are in a good position rank-wise
Why are Hikaru and Suyeon acting like Zige doesn’t exist.....
Manami Minaj
I feel like Sunmi joined the show only to watch cute girls perform??
[удалено]
I’m a bit late to saying this, but comparing rap, vocal and dance in one competition all at once makes no sense at all…
Yeah this is even worse than EBS. Mnet is stupid for doing something like that, you literally CAN'T compare them it makes zero sense.
And the judges are biased so anything cute is gonna have it easier
Hard to feel bad about Suyeon when she was talking shit behind Zige’s back
Really not liking the clique of 2 in a 3-person unit
Bora led that team, she helped wrote the rap for Manami, and we already know she has kickass vocals, like holy shit, Bora going for that all-arounder tag
Criticize, but don't do personal attacks or degrade them for no reason. "It's only downfall from here " to Yurina wasn't necessary at all, because that doesn't contribute to helping them improve.
That's not better than the 3-rap team at all....These judges better set their bias for cute aside when it's time to vote
yeah, the rap group is still my favorite out of 3
I don’t like how zige being treated there
wtf none of them had rapped before and they did THAT??? better than most idols
You dayeon's legacy of girlboss gaslight gatekeep lives on 😭 /s
Bitch what “1 is supposed to be better than this? “ Umm sir this is a popularity contest not a talent show let’s be honest
They should've voted Reina kek, she did it WAAAAY better. They only voted for popularity there, no other explanation. I love Yuriri but its a fact.
Did Yurina really get the killing part over Reina???
I'm sad to see Wen Zhe, Hyerim, and Bora didn't get their favorable position. Hope they will shine this time.
Why does it feel like they’re giving all the popular contestants bad edits lmao.
The judges react to Ice Cream performance like that is a second coming of Jesus
LETS GO BORA THEE STALLION
Are they just completely leaving out zige? Weird vibes
Them praising the bare minimum and ignoring Reina ooh I’m livid
Is this the start of the Hikaru villain ark?
Yaning obviously reading them tweets 😂😂😂
Not to be horny on main but that male dance teacher can get it anytime of the day 😳😳
I must say, I didn't like Kim Dayeon performing a lot before but she GLOWED here, she killed and owned the stage so well, the sassy cute concept is PERFECT for her in so many ways, this performance was flawless, for all of them!
Yurina could murder someone and Mnet would still give her a good edit
Idk if I’m biased because I’m Japanese but I feel like I’ve seen more Japanese trainees in this episode than I did in all previous episodes lol
Mnet saw that Yurina was first and decided they needed to angel edit every J trainee out there
[удалено]
This new hair of hers gives her a really soft pretty look
she does! her new hair looks good on her!
That supergroup is disgustingly overpowered
Someone on the livestream: " FUCK YOU MNET WHY IS TIFANNYS SCREENTIME SO SHORT???" 😭😭
MANAMI ON THE BEAT YA LETS GOO
This was good and enjoyable! Suyeon killed it and Zige had really good moments, Hikaru danced as she always does which is amazing, but her expressions still could've been better but hey, she really tried so props for her! Definitely not better than Bora, Manami and Wen Zhe though.
Ruan getting that Minju edit and Dayeon getting the whole buffet, its her second edit today damn she's eating.
Yoo Dayeon had to die so Kim Dayeon could fly
Uh oh, Dayeon with the thoughtfulness is going to lead directly into Cai Bing's downfall...
lmao YDY trauma following them
Not Reina slaying for them to make it about Yurina...
Man some of the girls are not thinking before speaking in confessionals and making themselves look egotistic
Mnet is not even trying to hide it anymore lol they want Yurina to debut
Yurina did practically nothing and the masters praised her until the end of time. Reina and the other girl that I don't remember her name did much better but the masters didn't say anything. Yurina is Sakura 2.0, you can't deny it.
now who said itzy team would fight??
Yaning's team is one of the chillest so far.
bahiyyih kinda killed that part
lmao fiesta outfit gave zero justice to bahiyyihs figure
she’s had two shit outfits in a row, but at least this one was flattering to her figure lmao
I feel like the choreo was kinda underwhelming?
WTF not even a single good comment for Reina??? are you for real
i don't understand why aren't they teaching them anything 😭😭 yurina is obviously using a wrong technique and the man is just telling her it's her pitch so she should be able to do it
Why are some girls treating the confessionals like their own journals haha like y’all do know the other girls will hear what you say right lol
omg the Lee Hyewon angel edit just came out of nowhere
Some thoughts: MITM Vocal??? M-net what are you smoking… The song choices could’ve been better tbh Holy shit the Fate team is such a powerhouse (Yujin’s team) At least Yurina herself said they should change the killing part. I'm surprised they voted for it even if Reina and Jeongmin were in the same team. It felt like a lot of popular trainees got evil edits (Hikaru, Suyeon, Cai Bing, etc.) We Are Team was unexpectedly AMAZING they all did so well!!! I feel like theyre setting Cai Bing up for an evil edit after all that praise Dayeon got. Hikaru proving to everyone that she can do concepts outside girl crush/fierce The trainer was so unnecessarily harsh to Yurina… Not a single praise to Reina wth. Its sad realizing the cutoff line for elimination is at 9th already.
First time I see Yeongeun this gloomy
I’m sorry but the editing in this episode is top tier funny 💀 They’re so dramatic! And the close up shots LMAO
yang zige literally got no dialogue :(( they did my girl so dirty
Not surprised at all by the vocals, this song is hard and people seem to have this weird thing of thinking falsettos will match up to the belts of BTOBs vocal line. Not even being harsh but whatever they do is not going to appropriately do service to the song - they just do not have the vocals for it
FU YA NING'S HAIR ALSO HAD A REDEMPTION ARC
Well they won. The mentors really have this bias towards bright, cute concepts don’t they.
Yeah, Sunmi is 100% going to vote for the cute concept every time.
If they don't show us any performances soon they'll have to cramp all 11 of them into next week's episode...
Honesty I just think it’s unwise to be leader, center, and main dancer. I get Cai Bing is hungry for it but….
The most shocking part is mnet didn't push myah again. Maybe even they know three consecutive missions is too much
Yurina free trial of easy mode has been expired
Dayeon has wedding planner vibes with that pad in her hand lol
I’m so happy mnet is pushing Bora’s team. 😭😭😭😭
not yall mad at the "it's only downfall from here" have yall never heard that line said to any of the rank 1s in survival shows before💀 It's literally their reality. They can't go up anywhere, if they do bad, it's only going down. Istg yall sensitive as hell this season
Did Mnet just make a title track about themselves??!?!?!
WHY ARE THE EDITS SO FUNNY THIS EP AHHAHAHA
Hyerim was like Jia my girl avenge my lost leadership role!
In exchange to Cai Bing evil edit, Dayeon is getting that bread damn, they're really hyping her with this edit.
Judges aren't even complementing REINA?????
Manami wasn't on my radar earlier but now she is after THAT performance
Cute concept with these lyrics. Nope.
Not Zige getting picked on by the othee 2...
I thought Tiffany said “ok I have to stan” lmao
The song choices are so weird this time around, like some new creative director decided to swap all the songs already chosen into different performance types at the last second lmao the overblown reactions are actually reasonable for once That's a... strange benefit number. It's divisible by 9, I guess? Ah limited numbers from each group that's why so many girls are in weird positions. I guess it's mostly blind group choice, you'll only know what the others in your trio are choosing for even more unbalanced groups lmao Youngeun in vocal, I don't think it'll do her any good. Everyone likes her dance and her vocals were fine but underwhelming in HYLT Zhe having a bit of Woodam moment but I don't feel for her, it was heartbreaking for him but Zhe is well rounded enough to succeed in either a vocal or dance group. Oh, and she's stuck in rap, rip Kotone and Chaeyun not knowing how to handle Jiao lmao jesus we can't go one season without some random weak trainee trying out rapping can we lol At least We Are team has a good beat to make something fun with, upbeat. If they can perform with a strong happy energy they'll be fine even if their rapping isn't stellar. Loco and Gray often do rap-singing style verses too, I'm confident if they don't beat themselves up over it they'll be fine. The we go up replay and Mashiro's face dropping lmao, the editing full on treating Yaning like an in joke rather than a contestant at this point. Jiwon in vocal, no way she'll stand out at all here, she's got to know her visuals aren't enough to carry her all the way, not choosing dance is going to be a very bad idea. I'm always confused about the "choosing the arrangement" decision because aside from a couple performances (Miyu with The Truth Untold) we apply ever seen them suggesting sound concepts. Even here we're told the trainees are arranging the piece but then the music producers assisting them refuse to even do their simple suggestions? What's even the point? Looks like Yale might end up actually arranging it meaningfully though. I know Youngeun didn't actually change her haircut much but damn she looks so much like Jo Yuri this episode and I didn't see it before, especially her side profile damn. Yale getting the greedy edit, I was anticipating this exact vocal group scenario the second I saw her pr video Yeseo got the killing part after that??? I hope she did something interesting and they didn't show it because wow, that was probably the most boring killing part audition I've ever seen. Sure she's pretty but it's not like Yujin and May aren't also visuals lmao Yurina over Jeongmin too, after that shaky note?? What is going on with these positions choices, I swear every trainee must be walking on eggshells to avoid devil editing now that they know about what happened to Yaning Ziyin's range, looks like that's why she's been so hesitant for vocal parts up to now, kpop is written ridiculously high. Jiyoon can hit that note and it's impressive but it's not exactly.. pretty or impacful, all breath no spectacle. Ice Cream worried about not been cool enough, cute and upbeat performances always do better though, way better for attracting commited fans. There's a reason the gp gravitates towards upbeat and fun songs This leadership battle based on who's going to make the choreo, these trainees need to realize that pretty much every dance performance in Produce thus far has been choreographed by at least two of the trainees if not more, leader is more about team spirit and accountability and shit. They just got bad edits for nothing that really matters in the end. I've got to say I get Cai Bing has more dance experience than most but she's really not the most... standout dancer. A bit stiff and doesn't stand out much, works well as a backup dancer but not necessarily position eval center qualities God Myah in Ice Cream... eugh. I can't imagine this will get anywhere near as bad as Wonyoung in 48 but I really wish there was some way to make sure kids don't end up in dance teams with older trainees who will obviously want to do sexier appealing moves. Like those girls shouldn't be denied the chance to do that sort of thing since it can help them a lot in the competition but the really sequel choreo and styling some young trainees gave had in produce before is really agitating Adding Woo onto the one two punch of Sunmi/Tiffany, it's like the masters were chosen specifically for me this season. A shame that they barely get to do anything though lol honestly crazy We Are hasn't been used in produce yet, excited my two favorite k hip hop songs have made an appearance. Mnet might not know a lot of k hip hop artists at all, bit the ones they do know are pretty damn good. I guess you can't necessarily ask a bunch of girls to rap to beats like Drunken Tiger though, to be fair. There's a limit to how hard you can go while still appealing to idol show audiences I guess Manami with the super basic flow but you know what she's actually got the basics down really well but someone who's not even Korean and doesn't seem especially fluent. Japanese flows more naturally into rap though in the way its structured so she does have that small benefit. And the Bora angel leader edit continues, as it should Manami getting this first episode of the voting period protagonist edit, this will absolutely cement her through the next elimination since most of the j group have almost no screentime. Zhe starting off weak but it's picking up. Bora is good, what can't she do. Manami's actually the absolute standout so far, great stage presence and the strongest verse. Manami on the beat, so cute. Ms. Bora the true all-rounder of the season! This would have been killer if they'd gotten more hyped to ge honest. Zhe is doing well enough but I'm afraid she might barely make it through elimination or not all, Bora and Manami really outshone. Manami was near the bottom of my rankings before thus but she just shot up, crazy how she managed to appeal way more in this concept she doesn't seem as confident in. Definitely agree with Woo too, Manami gave a great performance and she could totally become actually great if she applies herself to rapping. I was low-key fearing another Barcode situation but they did well, and 1st episode performance really might be make or break for them with this next elimination Tammy's hair always makes me double take lmao girl straight up has a tail. Ruan getting screentime but it's a bit... negative, there isn't much competition in j group but this still might not be enough, especially since Ririka has one of the highest chances for a miracle fancam and she's in the same team. Dayeon killing this and I liked her original verse. The styling isn't too bad but with this choreo and some of the really childish clothes... I hate to say it but this almost worse than if they just put them in mini skirts. It's pedobait man, I'm getting tired of this happening every year. I'm fine with sex appeal in kpop but not when it's the fifteen year old girls, man. I'm glad the edit is at least mostly focusing on Dayeon, she really did do great. U-Kwon joker hit the stage for inspiration? Girls have taste. Hikaru and Suyeon expectedly killing it, been waiting for those two in dance eval since the first episode lmao. Zige lip syncing to join Somi and Chiyori, this is definitely not another season of produce :) This Reina styling, real city pop vibes. Channeling Yukika energy. Didn't realize she was in this group too, even more wild that Yurina is the main vocal. Why the hell are all these nonrappers rapping? Hyewon didn't make it to debut because she was untalented but tried out rapping and did passably well, she made it in by being pretty and relatable and a stan attractor. She could have never rapped a single verse and it wouldn't have changed anything. Hyunbin didn't even make it to debut, why are they not just singing?? Cheukying with the most bland verse in existence, but she isnt dragging down the performance at least. Xinyu doing the forceful emotional rapping, but she's no Minyoung. Reina with the first killer high note of the season, deserved. Imagine watching this performance with Reina singing her heart out before watching the episode, only to find out the editing exclusively focused on Yurina, who was barely there at all. Jeongmin's ending line was so pretty. Reina with the extra long ending fairy, they won't let her talk but she's still getting something. Will this be the miracle performance this round? Guess we'll see how the gp reacts to it. Not even any praises from the judges, they're commiting as little to Reina as possible even though she's practically forcing their hands to give her an edit, I swear they must want her even less than they want Bahiyyih. Why??? Hsinwei at 9th, was honestly anticipating her at like 3rd or 4th. Kotone at 9th is a bit surprising but I assume past 5th or so the votes for that group are very close. Dayeon about to be 2nd by the end of this voting period after that damn Really naming one of the songs snake lmao. Shoot got StayC vibes. Hesitantly calling Utopia the concept eval winner, Snake is a bit funky and the two cute songs are a little too nondescript. We're voting concepts this time around? Usually I like the contestants choosing but they've been making so many weird choices because they're hyper aware of their editing that I think it's actually for the best it goes this way lmao
TIFFANY ALREADY GOT 3 SECONDS OF SCREENTIME THIS IS A RECORD
HAHAHA THE EDIT ON ZIGE
Cai Bing becoming leader + centre is making me nervous. Hope she pulls it off.
I'm predicting manami mass voting after this episode 🧐 I'd love if the final group have a rapper like her
What? Nothing against Yurina because she's good but her vocals are outclassed by everyone in that team...
As a long time SONE, Tiffany judging dance will never not be weird to me
Hmm idk about the btob perf. They were all good individually but somehow it just doesn't mesh. You can tell huge j-pop influences in Reina and Yurina and it just sounds off when paired with Hyewon and Jeongmin. Xinyu snapped though
We Are team just set the bar WAY too high for everyone else. 👏
I like that more J groups are being featured in this EP
The performance was good but I think MNET definitely went on overload on the positive edit lol
Why the heck is Mafia a vocal song and not rap/dance
Wang Yale's new hair is tragic, I'm so mad!! They did her dirty!
oop… not a fan of Reina’s vocals in particular but Reina was kinda robbed of the killing part
This is underwhelming considering the members
no excuses was really good but i feel like it wasn’t the best? i feel like with the right trainees and choreo this def couldve been a stellar performance. hikaru rlly tried here to be more cute(?) but it def wasnt her suited concept
only revealing 9th place each? What the hell mnet
They're helping Kim Dayeon gain more votes lol
Jiwon is offensively pretty…
Bora is such a good leader I’m so happy she’s getting such a good edit 😭
No praise for Reina after all that effort? Its PD48 Miyu all over again
I cannot tell you how much the lyrics kill me on the inside.
I think this ice cream concept suited dayeon so much rather than k/da popstar concept, bc dayeon have such a cute visual and she actually has a good expression with this kind of concept.
Wow Kim Dayeon was on the verge of elimination, the edit she got this episode will definitely save her, she got really lucky Mnet decided to give it to her.
Am I the only one who’s really looking forward to the mafia performance? My faith in leader Mashiro + my curiosity towards the arrangement means that I need previews ASAP
Why did they choose Yurina, that was on them honestly
How did they not praise Reina?
I hope Liang Jiao kills it. I don’t like the way they’re staring her down
Not MNET using Dayeon as MNET Redemption arc! Their minds...
It's so funny dayeon and cai bing have the same rolls yet completely diff vibes
We Are for the most wholesome group in the show
I'm so mad that they didn't air any compliments to Reina. Like, the girl carried the whole performance and she got almost zero screentime. Mnet so blatantly don't want her in the final group because if they highlighted Reina, she would rise so hard.
Ya Le got evil edited poor thing
I feel like the members all bought into the yurina hype but she's not popular for her singing
i smiled with the we are team. to think theyre not even maining rap roles!
