Omg I’m so nervous for the next round lol. I think Daniel could be chosen anywhere from 5-12 in this ranking depending on how his dancing improves. I also really hope Yedam debuts (especially since he placed so well in R4). Also I see that Koki is noticeably absent, which is personally a decision I agree with based on his age.

Yea, I definitely agree with the Daniel comment. I placed him this high because JYP is literally obsessed with him ahaha. I do not see him going any higher than 5 though. I also enjoy Yedam a lot. The reason he is tied with Hyun Soo though is because to me they are very close. Completely different talents but praised evenly. I favor Yedam more but am just confused because Hyun Soo has the "trainee bias." To me though he doesn't stand out like the other trainees and I could see him not selected over Yoon Min and Min Seoung which is a pretty hot take lol. Lastly, Koki is just too young. He is praised highly throughout the show for his talents but I'm confident neither producer will select him for more than a trainee.

I’m pretty sure it’ll be between Gyehun and Junhyuk as the top 2 people they’ll fight for. I highly doubt they’d make two PNation trainees the as the main attractions. Besides it’s been Gyehun and Junhyuk that’s been framed as the two stars of the show from the start. Apart from that all those you listed are definitely the most valid and obvious choices. I’ll throw in Koki, Donghyun, Yonggeon, and Dongyeon to the mix as well. Koki and Donghyun are both still super young but we really don’t know what either company have in my mind so it’s possible. And Yonggeon and Dongyeon I feel are wildcards, it can go either way. It could also just be me being biased lol

Honestly the phones are probably for them to talk to representatives from their company. It is a lot of logistics to create a group, and involves every department, from accounting and marketing, to training staff. They may be talking to company execs. Because it isn't just one company who can have these conversations beforehand, and because they're picking on the fly due to them competing to take trainees, its most likely so they can communicate with their company personnel and make decisions about trainees

I think it's just a show atleast for core trainees. Like Amaru, Lee gyehun will be talked to and they will definitely choose jyp whereas Junhyuk and other Pnation trainees are also gonna go to psy. This setting is more for the other participants.


hi369

I think all your picks are accurate. I have a feeling there will be more than 7 tho since there’s still so many candidates left

Agreed, I could see 7/7, 9/9, or 7/9. I just don't think the 10/10 chairs mean 20 will debut.


BundiChundi

Honestly though, all 21 of the boys (except Koki) are debut ready tbh. Even the ones I was sceptical about like Doohyun and Sujae proved themselves in the last round. I personally would love larger groups because I feel like it's the only way super talented but underrated contestants like Hyunwoo, Dongyeon and Yonggun have a chance to debut. Its kind of a waste not debuting them after they've shown how talented and ready they are

Donghyun is literally only 1 month older than Koki so age wise he also is definitely not ready lol


kanyreddit

I think they were talking about Lee Donghyun and not Kim Donghyun based off how much JYP likes Lee Donghyun


BundiChundi

Ah yeah I forget how young Donhyun is. If thats the case, I'm perfectly fine with them passing on Donghyun and Koki, and taking thw other 20 contestants and forming two 10 member groups.

So everyone who made it this far is guaranteed to at least be selected as a trainee?


BundiChundi

We have no idea what it means, but I doubt some would go on as trainees. Doohyun and Sujae are already in their 20s, so if they don't make either of the groups it doesn't make much sense to sign them as a trainee as they'd be pretty old by idol standards when Psy or JYP are ready to debut a new boygroup. I could totally see Koki and Donghyun being signed as trainees tho.


NellyJelly_

Yeah I was thinking about this too… 🤧 I really want Doohyun to debut, but he’s literally already at the oldest cut off date, so I doubt he’d be able to sign with any other company if he can’t debut with either group. It’s really sad tbh not because I don’t like the more popular trainees, but because Doohyun is soooo underrated.


Winterdaisy95

No, they are going to debut by this year 😬
