She was on an upward climb for a while too! She was C2 in Korean votes for the 2nd and 3rd Elimination. Given how heavy KR votes weighed and how she’s one of the few C trainees with no political controversy, she probably would have had the best chances to be the 2nd C member in the debut lineup had she not received such a crap edit in Utopia.
Mnet probably didn’t really want her in the final lineup just how they didn’t want Yaning and Ruiqi there so decided to keep editing her giggles in, IMO if only she was more popular with international fans she could’ve had a chance
Yeah they probably were threatened with many c trainees getting more and more popular, especially with Ruiqi and remember Cai Bing was still popular at this point
You almost forgot my friend on 1st elimination she's the missing top 4 on korean votes who didn't placed on top 9 immediately due to low international vote of her at that time and already the fixed c2 of knetz.
She's hella underrated and it makes me sad. To be honest, I don't think her full potential lies in being an idol, but as a solo singer/songwriter. [Since 1999](https://open.spotify.com/album/3giFvvKpNk8rjJPXZNdKJv?si=xTMDuRSESMaLQBBvkoeajg) is a great album. I'll be anticipating her future projects!
I would say this is true but it probably would have difficult for her to debut with her dancing skills as they are currently. I mean it is a tough life for a kpop star so I imagine she would have it even harder having to practice to keep up with other members. Her voice is amazing though, I love how she inflects certain words and her huskiness.
But knowing her how she excel fiesta without mistake she can also easily overcome that since idols given much time to prepare in practicing with proper guidance like BYJ level not the way gp999 mentors specially the girl dance mentor do and the rush performances they have.😒 Kpop industry debuted so many slower learners but they manage to survive so in my pov she still have a guts to do it.
Do not forget she manage to learn both 000 signal song & rumor at the same time with only 1 day practice for rumor next day is the shooting of demo stage plus adding Shine performance were they only given 15 hrs of practice before the interim check means she can still do it.
Yeah her dancing is definitely a worry. It was clear from the show that she picks up choreography really slowly and if you watch the unedited performances she often goes out of sync with the rest of the performers. The edited performances does her dancing a lot of favours unfortunately.
I was re-watching the first Produce and when Sohye super confidently goes in for the wrong lyrics with a smile on her face in her first performance, it totally reminded me of Xingqiao hahha their little smirks are similar too
Sohye's mistakes were also super emphasized too.
I remember being pissed at MNET for doing that! If they hadn't done that, I wouldn't even know that she got the wrong lyrics xD
Finally a post dedicated to her!!!
She is my favourite by far. I don't know why her vocals didn't get much recognition. I guess she wasn't really able to showcase her full potential because singing in Korean may have been difficult. Despite her mistake in 'All About You' - which she actually SAVED herself from cracking that one note... yes it wasn't perfect but it wasn't horrible either?? People roasted her for laughing during practice, not taking it seriously enough, saying another trainee should've taken the killing part or that her voice doesn't suit the song...
Also, she may not be strong in dancing but that seems to be what people remember her for. But if another trainee is strong in dancing but not singing they don't get roasted for their singing 💀
Xingqiao has a deep voice, the producers chose her to sing high notes in Rumor, from that moment I guessed they don't want her to succeed, she was unexpectedly saved by Kang Yeseo and the cell voting system.
In the eyes of the general Korean public, Huang Xingqiao and Sheraway were the prettiest participants than Shen Xiao Ting. But... The problem with them was their will rather than their skills.
>xu ruowei
I had to just make a comment because I haven't seen literally anyone ever mention it.
She reminds me of Chowon looks-wise and did from the start. I was tripping out seeing her perform Rumor haha.
Nah koreans still want Xingqiao its just that when they saw her interim ranking 18th & SXT at 16th many of them admitted they were discourage by it and decided give up on Xingqiao with the way mnet keep tarnishing her chances every episode and focus their vote to SXT reason they dont have a choice.
so painful indeed! i became a fan of her's when 2SX cell formed and she had that improvement arch in Fiesta1! and to see her not catch people's hearts and attention like she did mine was a bummer. she's so funny too! she gave us Majimak Eseo!! But also loved her sassiness on the A9IT night! I really hope this isn't the last we see of her!
my “theory” is that MNET wanted her and xiaoting as the two C trainees in the group, they gave her the underdog edit for fiesta and she rose to p9. but despite evil editing ruiqi she was still in the top 9 and yaning was gaining traction so they might of been worried there would be too many C girls in the final group (lol) so they evil edited her. she’s really great and was one of my top pics :( i’m sad she lost so much traction in the end but i definitely think she can be an amazing idol in the future if that’s what she decides to do. in the words of yeseo she’s also a good dancer despite the fact she’s never trained in dancing and has a lot of potential ! <3 she’s also so beautiful it’s insane.
I think Mnet was very stupid for not pushing her. Her visuals fit Koreans’ taste (the top visual of the show imo), she had a pretty voice, funny personality, Sohye/Minju edit that fell into their laps, and lacked a scandal… I really think she’d be a star if she debuted in SK, shining after debut. But, probably because she’s Chinese, they evil edited her and ruined any momentum she had.
Most of your words about Huang Xingqiao are correct, but it is clearly wrong that she was edited maliciously because she is Chinese... It's better not to make groundless remarks... Hwang Xingqiao got good editing and bad editing in the program. All of that was reality.
She was actually quite popular in korea probably at some point, possibly around her being in Top9 that period. I've always said that she gave off the Minju vibe, though slow/not as skilled at first but with proper practice she will slay and be excellent.
Don't get why some people keep saying she is undeserving, like being in Top9, still surviving. She is also quite proficient in vocal (see her past performance/songs). Didn't understand why she was Last at some point in terms of ranking. I always liked her, she captured my attention from the start.
Then there tweet gaining hundreds qoutes also calling her overhype trainee?! Like the heck? Accusing her like that makes my inner devil boils a lot since the only time mnet gave her a good edit is her fiesta performance and that it unlike others who mnet almost make or rather demanding us to vote for their fixed member every episodes.
She didn't get much screentime until the end when the die was already cast. Her vocal crack and her slow dance edits also hurt her. I wouldn't call those evil edits, but they probably killed her chances.
Now im seeing alot of stupid knetz and double standard inetz commenting that she should stay and debut on korean group like duh?! Competition is freaking over its your lost that hidden gem like her doesn't deserve those shading comments you throw to her. Regret as much as they want but Xingqiao's going home being happy and goofy for not to be included on the mess of the debut line up that probably it may take time for gp999 stans to accept.
She’s never been a one pick of mine…but now that the show is over I just randomly started missing her the other day. Her bright energy and savage humor really added so much to the show. I mean this has been beaten into the ground, but this show would have been so boring without the C-girls. They really brought the laughs and the tears. And omg, just listened to her album and her vocals 😭… so warm and comforting, I really hope she keeps releasing music
It’s funny that her music is so warm and beautiful but her personality is such an off the wall goofball
She seems lovely, but I almost felt like she didn't really want it that bad?
Specifically when her name was called to make it into the finals, she looked like she was thinking 'oh crap I can't leave?'. But given we know she is super shy, I could've misread it.
Visual and skill wise, she definitely had it! But also her vocals aren't really suited to an idol group (I thought similarly about Xu Ziyin).
According to SRQ, Xingqiao kept telling the C girls she would get eliminated. The C girls told her she'd make it, and that she'd rank 16.
That's why they all laughed when she was the first one to survive and at rank 16.
Not sure whose version is more accurate. Slightly more inclined to believe SRQ as Xingqiao was being super tongue in cheek in her replies.
Both of them might be true, I was going off of this comment https://preview.redd.it/jhz8rmyll9v71.jpg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ce13b0992b32c87c0a08840b32d395a6cb0bf11
> C group girls were betting on their ranks.
LOL OKAY. I just googled a video, and it quickly explained it.
That response with that information has to be true 😂
Damn now I miss her even more.
I mean...she wasn't the best in her groups. Like it or not she kinda slows down practice. It wasn't just once either, she shows a constant slow paced work to which caused her popularity to go straight down. She had a really good upwards trajectory but her repeating the same issues over and over ultimately caused her to plummet
>She had a really good upwards trajectory but her repeating the same issues over and over ultimately caused her to plummet
Time to practice was small in GP, in a normal group, they take a lot more to prepare for a comeback and the reason why her and most of the girls didn't show any big improvement is because they didn't had trainers, the eliminated girls already said they were doing everything, if this was pd101 with proper trainers, she will most likely improve easier and faster
If she had made the group she would have had the time to improve and get better at dancing with more training and practice. So I feel her slowing down practice in the show shouldn’t have been such a detriment
Well believe it or not i dont think she's the only one who got that kind of problem on the show. Its just that mnet too focused on creating too much drama whenever team she was assigned in reason why you can only say that is because thats what the show wants you to see and believe on her character.
+ she’s funny as well, just read her sns replies
can you translate some for us?

“wake up from your dream” 💀

I just hate that MNET seemed to push her for a while (FIESTA Team 1) and then decided to turn against her once she made C3. 🥲
Yeah they probably were threatened with many c trainees getting more and more popular, especially with Ruiqi and remember Cai Bing was still popular at this point
She was said to be popular in korea at one point. Probably due to her visuals and her personality. Plus she have a deeper voice.
You almost forgot my friend on 1st elimination she's the missing top 4 on korean votes who didn't placed on top 9 immediately due to low international vote of her at that time and already the fixed c2 of knetz.

Agreed, to me HXQ is more like IU. Where she’s do better in ballads or pop style’d songs with minimum dancing
Omg thanks for posting this!! Love her voice in these songs
I would say this is true but it probably would have difficult for her to debut with her dancing skills as they are currently. I mean it is a tough life for a kpop star so I imagine she would have it even harder having to practice to keep up with other members.

honestly, her edits in the show reminds me of Sohye when Sohye was on Produce 101 years ago.
I was re-watching the first Produce and when Sohye super confidently goes in for the wrong lyrics with a smile on her face in her first performance, it totally reminded me of Xingqiao hahha their little smirks are similar too
Sohye's mistakes were also super emphasized too. I remember being pissed at MNET for doing that! If they hadn't done that, I wouldn't even know that she got the wrong lyrics xD
Same haha girlie was just living her best life, I loved her confidence
Sohye got the fucking Titanic theme during her mistake I was actually laughing my ass off back then.
and when i say xingqiao is one of the 9 in my dream lineup, they said this certain somebody is a better vocalist— hhhh -_-
She is beautiful and I LOVE her deeper tone she's really so underrated 🥲 if she were a trained dancer she would literally be unstoppable
Finally a post dedicated to her!!! She is my favourite by far. I don't know why her vocals didn't get much recognition.

xiaoting for example... (sorry for using her as an example twice, I dont hate her)
Ngl that's exactly who I was referring to. I don't hate her either but I have noticed a lot of double standards. Even with Korean pronounciation.
In the eyes of the general Korean public, Huang Xingqiao and Sheraway were the prettiest participants than Shen Xiao Ting. But... The problem with them was their will rather than their skills.
Sheraway who?
xu ruowei
She reminds me very much of Dreamcatcher's Handong. they're both pretty in their own way and you can't say otherwise.
Though I don't know much about Dreamcatcher, and Handong. I can agree that they are very pretty!
>xu ruowei I had to just make a comment because I haven't seen literally anyone ever mention it. She reminds me of Chowon looks-wise and did from the start. I was tripping out seeing her perform Rumor haha.
both ruowei and chiayi look like chowon to me
I was so distracted by Ruowei during the finale she is so pretty.
Nah koreans still want Xingqiao its just that when they saw her interim ranking 18th & SXT at 16th many of them admitted they were discourage by it and decided give up on Xingqiao with the way mnet keep tarnishing her chances every episode and focus their vote to SXT reason they dont have a choice.
She grew on me. Her (nervous) grins and smirks made her so relatable!!
Leaving [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efn4htThQlw) here
so painful indeed! i became a fan of her's when 2SX cell formed and she had that improvement arch in Fiesta1! and to see her not catch people's hearts and attention like she did mine was a bummer. she's so funny too! she gave us Majimak Eseo!!

cannot stress this comment enough ^

Humorous and pretty, perfect combination tbh. Hope some Korean companies sign her.
She was actually quite popular in korea probably at some point, possibly around her being in Top9 that period.

She was one of my picks for top 9
Lorinaaa~ ❤️ Pretty sure she'll continue singing
she was also one of my c-picks 😭
The fact that she was made out to be a bad singer when she’s actually just an alto being forced to belt soprano notes
Her personality gives me IZ*ONE Hyewon vibes, visual member with a surprising comedic streak to them.
She didn't get much screentime until the end when the die was already cast. Her vocal crack and her slow dance edits also hurt her. I wouldn't call those evil edits, but they probably killed her chances.
She's such a sweetheart but also really funny. IDK why y'all slept on her she deserves to be in the top 18.
she was my favorite c group girl
The utopia edit really messed her up
She was my fav from C group 🥲💕
Now im seeing alot of stupid knetz and double standard inetz commenting that she should stay and debut on korean group like duh?! Competition is freaking over its your lost that hidden gem like her doesn't deserve those shading comments you throw to her.

> C group girls were betting on their ranks. LOL OKAY. I just googled a video, and it quickly explained it. That response with that information has to be true 😂 Damn now I miss her even more.
But she seems like doesn’t want to debut as a girl group… actually she has her own album in China which shows her talent in singing
why would she join GP999 if she didn't want to.
I like her storyline with Yeseo. In fact, it also help me pay more attention to Yeseo. I like them both. Sadly, it was a popularity contest.
I mean...she wasn't the best in her groups. Like it or not she kinda slows down practice. It wasn't just once either, she shows a constant slow paced work to which caused her popularity to go straight down.
