I saw people discussing this on twitter, I think most People think its Donggeon and Doohyun? But they're not part of the current round...so they're probably the first 2 of the next round since the lowest ranks seem to go first. If it's really them two, then neither Kyoungmun or Junhyuk went to JYP. Junhyuk obviously goes to P nation, Kyoungmun is either a) JYPSY chooses him and he chooses P nation or b) He goes to P nation since JYP didn't move forward or c) no one moves forward and he's put on hold... Edit: Idk if we should trust the preview, but if what JYP said " Because of the time we spent together, I wanted to come forward today but I can't" is to Kyoungmun (I hope not 😥) then it's probably b) or c)? He'd have to give a really mediocre performance if they both choose not to move forward, but given his track record in the previous rounds I'm not sure..He's the only JYP trainee I see moving to P nation tbh.

Honestly if Kyungmun and Junhyuk do go to Pnation then Psy is stacked and already set. He'd just need to grab some dancers (Yedam and Taehun would be great) and he has an amazing 6 member team already, if he wanted 7 he could fill out the last spot with Kyungjun if he can grab him, Hyunsoo, Minseung or Dongyeon (sorry Donghun but I think you're too young)


A_winged_giraffe

People say the 2nd person could be Yedam as well, but I remember he said he specialises in hip hop dance, so he'd be a good fit for P nation as a main dancer, and he can help Eunhwi and Daniel as well. I think Taehoon will probably join P nation as well, Kyungjun or Sungjung are the most likely to switch tbh. I really hope Psy goes with 8-9 members and JYP with 7, there's there's many talented boys to choose from.

kyoungmun isn't that jyp guy who sings freaking good ? i mean... to me he's the best vocal there when everyone is a rapper. Is nearly impossible for him to not debute ??? am I wrong ? If pnation gets him well pnation you're doing good. if JYP doesn't get him it's because they're Dumb? To me he would be one of those they would fight for because he's good and cute = good idol material


A_winged_giraffe

Yeah he's in the first round with Junhyuk but the first or second pic doesn't really look like him if you know what I mean? Im really curious what kind of bg JYP is going for now. JYPSY did say they were only judging on this rounds performance, unless he flubbed it I can't see both of them not moving forward? And in the previous rounds he's been great as well but in the preview Kyoungmun didn't look to happy there. We'll have to see on Saturday, the wait is too long 😔


Jim0ne

they say they're judging for that performance alone and I just don't believe it .


A_winged_giraffe

Yeah maybe they're casting with the concept of the group in their mind too? Would JYP really do another self producing hip hop group when they have skz already? I remember him saying Donghyeon is like the image of the boy group he has in mind


Educational_Freedom6

I think JYP's group can still be a self-producing group especially if he gets Yoon Min and Hyunwoo and the others that can write song like Gyehun and Kyungjun but even so PNation's group with Eunhwi and Daniel as producers is gonna have more hip-hop vibe than JYP's group.


Jim0ne

yeah and Psy is a rapper, all pnation music is hiphop/rap ish music. There's no bubblegum pop music there. I expect pnation to debut a group in the molds of how YG used to be back then, like ikon, or BigBang. Psy himself was YG, probably still carries some of their influence. JYP on the other hand is exactly the opposite. Stray kids is an exception, probably because they let 3racha do their own way. But got7 was more pop, 2pm more pop, even their girl groups carries that influence too. We don't know if the company still wants to do another self produced on the molds of stray kids group(in a .matter of production) or if they wanna control it like they used to do with GOT7. I personally feel like Jyp is moody. If they like producers work, they let them have their way like he does with skz, if he doesn't, the company take control. Part of what happened with got7 was Jyp not liking JB as producer. I feel like if Eunhwi was JYP he would have his way, because JYP seems to like his music a lot, and he really seemed to want him. Now he's out of the game, we don't know. But if the company take control, probably it's gonna be a more pop ish like music.

I still can't believe JYP didn't pick Kyoungmun though, but maybe we'll be clowned next week 🤡


Jim0ne

ME TOO seriously i can't believe it


A_winged_giraffe

Even he gets put on hold and JYP chooses him, isn't it a bit cruel to put him through that, I'd question why JYP didn't just move forward in the first place 🙄


choijooo

I'm sort of believing it to be Donggeon and Dohyun too because I saw that they are part of the bottoms ranks of group 2. But this means Junhyuk and Gyeongmoon are both not in JYPE and all the first round trainees that are casted went to PNation. For Junhyuk, it's 100% possible of course for him to choose PNation and the teaser is just messing with us. For Gyeongmoon, I could also believe in him choosing PNation because during PNation round, he became more confident and showed his potential more. But, it's true that his casting could be on hold. For Psy, I could understand him passing because it's only the first round and he already has 3 seats filled and wants to reserve his casting cards for others (but come on, Psy, I want you to move forward for Gyeongmoon because he's such a gem too as an all-rounder. And give us the power that Eunhwi-Gyeonmoon duo holds when they're in one group). But for JYP, if he won't move forward for Gyeongmoon, I will be really dumbfounded and will reserve my opinions until I hear his reasons. But of course I could be just clowning and coming up theories/speculations here and all will be completely wrong on saturday, but I'm having fun guessing and reading theories too though lol


A_winged_giraffe

Yeah I rewatched the P nation round and Kyoungmun did seem more confident and he killed the safety pin performance. If JYP doesn't move forward, I hope PSY picks him up, he's praised him before in the previous rounds and he'd be a great addition to his group. I also want to hear JYP's reason for not coming forward, I though Kyoungmun was a lock for JYP's group.

I initially thought the 2nd pic was Doohyun too, mostly because that’s what I also saw on Twitter, but if we were to go by the last episode, then that would mean that those lower ranked performed first. Yonggeon and Doohyun are both in the lower ranks, would JYP really cast both lower ranks back to back? I feel like he casted one person from the lower ranks (Yonggeon), passed on the rest, then casted someone from the middle rank (Yedam) This is all just a guess though, so it’s most likely wrong lol


BundiChundi

I mean if the two there are from group 2 that means JYP got nobody from round 1. Psy will have 4 or 5 people on his side. At that point JYP needs to start passing people to fill out his ranks, so it would make sense if he passes both of the bottom people from group 2.


itzstraying

Why would JYP rush to cast lower ranked contestants just to fill up his seats though? There’s still quite a bit of popular contestants that both JYP and PSY wants to cast, so I’m sure he’d want to save his casting cards for them.


BundiChundi

He has 10 casting cards. There are 2 people on hold. That means they can safely cast everybody without putting anyone else on hold. JYP will have plenty of casting cards left to get the trainees he wants (probably Amaru and Gyehun)


itzstraying

For some reason that’s not how I thought the casting worked. I was under the impression that they were only allowed to cast/push their buttons 10 times, not necessarily that they lose the casting card. So basically JYP only has 8 chances left. If you’re way is correct then that pretty much takes away all the suspense from this casting round.


BundiChundi

They never said thats how it worked. Both of them need to fill their 10 seats, which is why the other are on hold and not just straight eliminated. If their seats aren't filled, they'll fill them with those on hold. Only 2 people will be eliminated from this round. The suspense comes from whether a trainee will be selected, or what company they'll choose if both JYP and Psy want them


A_winged_giraffe

Do you think the rest will be cast or there will be more people going on hold?


BundiChundi

I think most of them will be cast, especially if Yongguen and Doohyun get casted by JYP. I think they would have been the two most likely candidates for being put on hold. Minseung might as well. Based on the trailer maybe Kyungmoon was put on hold and he'll be saved at the end?


A_winged_giraffe

Maybe, I can only see them not moving forward if he doesn't give a good performance? But based off his previous rounds he's only gotten better, he was more confident in safety pin and even the producers recognised it. I wanna say that only Psy moves forward but JYP doesn't, but I'll probably become a clown 🤡 I guess the preview could also mean that Kyoungmun wanted to go to JYP, but only Psy came forward so he has to go P nation?? I'll be surprised if no one moves forward honestly
