As usual, the rest of the episodes besides the last will be on mt olympus only

I HAD to skip the walk in scenes, I'm so bored of them now, like let's get to the important stuff.

Clearly it’s was little mix season bc is HOW many songs were we going to get?? 

It’s interesting seeing how different Wonyoung was here! Soo adorable! 

It’s also very clear how the vocal standards have changed SO much. Where are the vocalists? And also interesting how many of the stages had other harmonies and doubling vocals which kinda ruins the audition experience.

I feel like the Japanese trainees diluted the talent .. A LOT which is a shame cos the vocals in the previous seasons were SO strong. I hope things pick up cos it's not looking great wow.

Chaeyeon though, what a dancer!

Yena is hilarious, and i do love seeing babyfaced yunjin/yujin and wonyoung. Eun Bi to this day is one of my favorite idols, shes awesome and agreed on Chaeyeon! Funny that both the 2 solo trainees that everyone said would look good on screen (Minju - the one you said looked like Tzuyu and Hyewon - the scared one lol) are both now actresses post idol life. Edit: For Wonyoung, she was very animated and goofy through all of izone but i think after that the immense hate she got she kind of just stopped showing any other side of herself except extremely professional. You can still catch her being goofy in some of ive's variety content especially when she's with Yujin.

Omg yesssss. So glad you're starting PD48. Just the thing to cheer me up when I've been in bed with a cold all weekend!

Koko3op

AHHH that's it!! Makes sense

Koko3op

Awww it's good to know she can still be goofy! Ooo interesting that they're actresses now!

Cee

i’m soooo excited to see who you’ll pick out as the show goes on. also wonyoung was 13 and yujin 14 (both their birthdays were at the end of the show) ITS INSANEEEE they’ve really grown up in spotlight

Lmao accidentally deleted comment when I meant to edit a small error. Oh well. You got it lol

Yes! I was waiting for this! Just a bit of information: Japanese idol culture is way different from Korean idol culture. J idols focus more on charisma and personalities, whereas K idols focus on skills and performance. You will see more of that in the show. But the J idol industry is changing since K-pop took over Japan. I used to be a big fan of AKB48 back in the day.

OMG PD48 MY BELOVED I CANT WAIT TO REWATCH WITH YOU !! I feel like a lot of the korean & some japanese trainees have some of the most interesting stories after this show (most of the japanese trainees went back to their group but some stayed just to clarify why i said "some" hahaha) Overall the talent pool was pretty diluted bc of how many less-polished trainees there were and (another theory from me incoming) is what i believe is the catalyst of the notable lack of technical vocalists debuting from 2018 to around 2022 (there would be literally only one or two decent singers in a group) considering who debuted from this show and how big of a group they were (iz*one were my ults when active like when i tell you they were huge at the time...) 27:20 i deadass do this too nowadays with every new survival show. idc about the entire show, i just watch until the episode where trainees are given the same song to see who stands out and if they debut lol

Koko3op

Yeahh I figured it when they discussed it lol

Koko3op

YESS it's the best part! I can't waittt

Somaya

i hope you also do produce x 101, theres deffo a lot of singers

Tatiana

Lol, I didn't watch the video yet before I commented, but I'm watching it now, and I'm cackling at your reaction to the J idols.

So happy you're continuing with this show. Hongki is a great vocalist from FTIsland. I don't think you would like his music cause it's very rock heavy. But he has a great voice and is also a great mentor in this show. He is also best friends with Heechul from Super Junior. Soyou also has a beautiful voice but being in the same group as Hyorin made that her voice didn't get that much recognition.

hayun lee

there was also a general industry shift. 2017 was probably the last year strong vocals took priority (groups like wanna one and onf debuted) and 2018 was when performance heavy 4th gen first took off. as for what caused it... 2017-18 was when bts REALLY got super super worldwide famous so i think trying to recreate their caliber of performance and international appeal became the new main focus.

Koko3op

it'll be such a sad watch tho :(

Myah Gibson

Little mix had Korea in a chokehold. I’ve seen another survival show and other girl groups singing their songs

Koko3op

iufgdhsdoiho i had NO IDEA wow!

Myah Gibson

Especially Power and Wings. Little Mix even made a Wings korean version

Kristen

You've finally joined the roller coaster ride of PD48. I didn't remember the J trainees being this poor, but wow. I thought it was a humiliation ritual while the auditions were airing, but a lot of them really took the training seriously as the competition progressed. Rewatching it made me realize that quite a bit of stars came from this season. Seeing Yunjin in this show and seeing her power in LSF is really good. This season was heartwarming for me. Sad that my one pick didn't make the final group, at least I thought she was a star (and that's all that matters lol)

Kristen

I laughed when you mentioned later on in the video that you hadn't seen Wonyong yet, when her baby chipmunk cheeks was plastered on the screen and you looked straight through her looool!!

Anita

I did not realize so many of the audition songs were english back when I first watched this lol its interesting because I’m pretty sure the auditions were exclusively kpop for the planet seasons

gwyn

this season is really gonna ragebait you with the vocals... i will never forget how they did yunjin

gwyn

im watching the kaeun part and getting irritated all over again omg they really played with these girls' lives this season

Somaya

i know :(

julian

I just realized that this was lesserafim’s yunjin with the afterschool member omg

Line

I can’t wait for you to get into the show!! This is my favourite produce season out of all of them

Grayson Smith

I'm MEGA MEGA FUMING at seeing the girls on IVE here and remembering they can actually dance and be expressive even on a small stage. I also think it's such a loss that they didn't keep Kahyeon (the third girl from Starship) in the company or entice her to be in the group. She was clearly a strong dancer, had a nice tone, and I think really would've improved IVE's image around their dance skills and prevented this whole effortless dancing thing they seem to do. I almost wonder if she was meant to be their main dancer but when she left it went to Gaeul...

Koko3op

Ahhhh I need to make note of her. But from what I remember her visuals don’t seem to match the IVE girls tho

Leaving a comment about Hongki which i think you would reaally love. Hongki did a song with hoesung from N. Flying, a trainee from PD 101 S1 who can sing really high note. They had a song titled Still Love You. It is still amazing song to me to this day
