I agree. Happy that Kangmin is 7 as he’s my fave but Junmin and Donggyu are ranked sooo low 😢. And I want He Xin Long in the top 8 as well. I guess the strong Alpha energy team I was envisioning isn’t what others are. Everyone has their own preferences but the talent that is ranked so low is 😭. Eunwoos in the military til Jan 2027 and I need another group to stan - I’m crossing my fingers for my faves. Thanks for reacting so quickly - so fun watching this with you ☺️

Zerose777

Here’s my Top 8: 1) Leo 2) Woojin 3) Geonwoo 4) Haneum 5) Harry June 6) Sangwon 7) Anxin 8) Hengyu or Chen Bowen I can’t choose lol. Honestly this Top 8 isn’t bad. I would still stan. But I at least need Woojin and Haneum that’ll be great, their vocals are amazing. And Geonwoo. Also very sad about Song Minjae being eliminated, I voted for him everyday since that S class performance, but I cried tears for Harry June. I also see why people are hesitant towards Liyu, but I found some videos of his singing predebut, and I was shocked. Like jaw dropped shocked. I don't know what the song was called but it was a low to mid register and he sounded really good! His pitch was very consistent and his tone in lower notes was very rich. I couldn't believe what I was watching lol

Shun Yu spilled the tea behind the scene as the dance battle came up, Xin Long wanted to do the dance battle but mnet didn't allowed it, they only picked K Trainees and no C trainees at all, can tell that behind the scenes a lot of things happens. Also he's voting for Kai Wen, Xin Long, Axin, Jiahao, Zihao. Tbh still want Masato to get out of the top8 and Li Yu too. Masato is soo overrated he might be talented and skilled for sure, but that's just like what I feel about Geonwoo, there is nothing special about him, and they comment only about his looks, his performance was also mid. Li Yu still needs to improve! I want Woojin and Xin Long to be in TOP8 then the final lineup is completed, if the rumor is true and we are getting idk a 9th member. Then I hope it will be Jun Min, Donggyu, Hengyu, Fan Zhe Yi, Nian. Dont mind it if the 9th member is Li Yu. Such a shame that Jun Min and Donggyu are so low.. just like Leo and the other Trainees said they are shocked that Jun Min is soo low, because hes very talented and two star doesn't suits him at all, maybe who knows now he might turn the tables and can be in the top8?hes also a former BigHit trainee, Leejeong also a Pledis Trainee, Donggyu was also in Pledis, Sanghyeon another trainee who was under HYBE, Jaehyun (2010, kid) was also HYBE Trainee + Haneum rank 12 guy is also a HYBE Trainee oh and not to forget Geonwoo was under Source Music. Hope Xin Long makes it to the top8 and I've a feeling that he might debut! His fans base keeps growing. My final 5picks votes are: Sangwon, Leo, Xin Long, Woojin and the 5th I might change between Nian, Jun Min and Donggyu My TOP8: Sangwon Leo Woojin Xin Long Axin Junseo Kangmin Sanghyeon/Nian 9thJun Min/Donggyu

In the teaser there was a dance battle between harry June and Jiangfan I think, but they didn’t air it !! I’m so mad Also Hanwen has a pretty strong fanbase and was really popular preshow, he was high in ranks since the first episode I don’t really know why people are expecting him to not make through first elims/be low in ranks, it’s not surprising lol

Ms. T

8 was hard enough. I’m going mad trying to vote only 5. It’s worse because I now have people I want to vote for who weren’t even in my top choices originally. Arctic being one of them. He won’t make the final 8 but I’d like to see him make it to the finals.

CRTJ

this is sooooo annoying! mnet is not even trying. from mistreating c trainees to poor production choice… like why the fun activities are so short and so trying to be clean and straight 👀 like its so annoying that they are really pushing a certain imagine for this debuting group, and I’m not here for it. this is really been mnet’s worst survival show. like how they’re doing things are just wrong.

RAN

Chen Kai Wen is one of my favorites. He is the chromosome trainee and is very talented. He doesn't have much screen time.

Candice Blair

I wonder if Xinlong sits there and watches ZiHao and is so unbothered by him. LOL But both are still so JYPE-coded. JYPE idols are so chaotic wherever they go. XD I need ZiHao to rise.

sanitizerr

mnet be pushing an “alpha” team but no Donggyu and Junmin and Xinlong in the top😑, Liyu, Masato and Sanghyeon don’t have that “alpha” aura I’m sorry😬.. this is not even about “oh focus on ur pick”, it’s about producing a svs group that is on par with ZB1, WannaOne level- balanced and all rounder team.. if we want them to gain attention even after the show- I want to see posts where other group’s fans were switching up to watch BP1 and eventually to ZB1.. BP2 just isn’t gaining that much even though they get “high” votes LOL

Zerose777

Then why are you still watching? You’re allowed to feel how you feel but I strongly disagree we have a lot of great talents in Top 8 and despite intl fans bitterness, this group will not flop. They will be close if not just as popular as ZB1. Sangwon alone has to be the most popular trainee in any survival show.

Zerose777

This group will be extremely popular. Sangwon and Leo alone will bring in views, add in Masato for Japanese market, Liyu for Korea, Anxin for China, etc. and we’re good. As much as intl fans think or want this group to flop, they absolutely will not.

sanitizerr

for sure Wakeone won’t make this group flop lmao.. only time will tell ig.. sorry I still don’t see Masato and Liyu having that level with ZB1.. like if you’re gonna produce their juniors, why not pick the best of the best trainees? regarding markets- lots of groups can gain these w/o having an intl member and solely on skills and talent

Lily Bujnak

yes I AM voting for Both Li ZiHao and Suren as a duo haha like they can't be separated omgg if they're not gonna debut here together PLEAAAASE JYP add Suren into boy story 😭

sanitizerr

truee yet we are still here captivated by Mnet’s svs showss.. but they gotta change their editing lol cuz it’s getting so boring like same struggle same evil edit same shit then boom wow what a performance.. the moment they had a lot of problematic trainees this szn- that’s when it became a shitshow with all the antis flooding all tt and x

tici :]

my boy hengyu

From what I’ve seen of Korean media, alpha seems to mean “top, best, first, etc.” rather than manly or macho (which is only the case in specific media genres). As for the talented trainees that just don’t get many votes, it’s probably because their looks are not what’s currently popular with the majority of voters? Since there are other trainees with similar talents but “better” looks… It’s unfortunate but the votes do foreshadow what will sell well. This industry is ultimately driven by the consumers, no? Mnet does whatever past statistics show will bring in the views and the cash.

Nova Amore

I saw that on some sites that Koreans use (instiz is one of them), some trainees like xinlong and I believe hengyu as well are some of Koreans 1 pick apparently! (I think xinlong is actually trending like number 6th on that site, and has been for a large amount of time) That makes me hopeful that by the next ranking check point, the top 8-10 will be much better hopefully😭 Like don't get me wrong, I have nothing against certain trainees who are in the top 8 atm. But considering the image mnet seems to be wanting to push for the final group, there are other trainees who would better suit the top 8. Some people keep saying that it'll be fine, these trainee's will grow in the group or whatever, but what they don't realize is that they will get no lines... I actually saw on Weibo that some of the eliminated c trainees were talking about how some c trainees volunteered for the dance battle segment, but they weren't picked/shown (minus suren). Cause I heard that Jiang fan win against someone, one of the chinese 1 star kill the Romeo trainee won against a pick that mnet apparently must've liked, but he wasn't shown, xinlong volunteered but wasn't picked apparently...😭 Sighhh When doheon (verivery 's leader, and the eldest in boys 2 planet) got eliminated, I legit teared up. I was also watching verivery's 00 line reacting to the Livestream as well, and that didn't help... I also teared up when heuichan asked everyone to take care of Harry.... Like AKSK 😭 I didn't know that Harry was the youngest in dkb, so that just hit me so much harder I hate that we're only allowed to vote for 5 trainees now😩 like I obviously knew it was gonna happen though. I've been voting for xinlong, anxin, donggyu, boheng, and suren. I just need at least some c trainees in the finale, which is why I'm only voting for c trainees for now😭 and then donggyu is so low, I have to vote for him, like arghf. And then I'll definitely be swapping out some trainee's every once in a while, like chen kaiwen, jiahao, zihao, etc!

Nova Amore

I heard that people have the theory that mnet might pull an "i-land" situation on us, where the mentors pick an additional member potentially.... If that happens, I'll be really happy (if the lineup is good) Cause 8 is fine, but choreography wise, 9 would be better since odd numbers visually tend to look better I think....?? And honestly, at this point of time, I'm just praying that we will get AT LEAST 2 Chinese members in the final group, 3 would be ideal, but at this rate I'll take two😭

sanitizerr

I also think its either 9 from the alpha sign or 11 from the II in the title itself👀👀

CRTJ

hmm??? I did not even talked about the trainees or questioned their talents. I’m talking about how mnet have been editing and packaging the show. my frustration is solely with mnet and mnet alone.

CRTJ

right! this is what I’ve been saying! idk where that other comment in coming from…

BaoziBang (Tali) 🏳️‍🌈

Hanwen already has a Fandom and he's Queer. I also knew and loved him before BP2. He's not one of my picks but I get it.

sasa

I need an 11 members group, then my lineup would be: 1- Leo (the all rounder/composer we absolutely need) 2- Sangwon (our obvious center) I didn't even knew them before the show, but they became my top2 immediately. 3- Hsu ching yu (bc we need a passionate dancer like him, even if I'm not totally sold for the vocals, the rest makes up for it, I would watch him even if he doesn't get many lines) 4-Jung hyun jun (another passionate dancer/all rounder, but I know he won't make it 🥲) 5- Park Dong Gyu (the most incomprehensible thing in this show is him not being popular among the koreans voters, like he is being carried by international voters despite being one of the best vocalist and one of the strongest visual that match korean standards) 6- Yeom Yechan ( He needs more confidence but I think he has a lot to show us as the main rapper with Leo) 7- Nian Boheng (I'm sold for everything about him: rap, dance, looks, aura, personnality) 8- Kang Woojin (We need his voice, even if his dance isn't the best I think he could blend well with the others if he improves a little. I also think he needs another viral moment, and to work on his confidence ) 9- He Xinlong ( Also the whole Package) 10- Na Yunseo 11-Kim Taejo The last two are just a personnal preferences, I don't think they are needed in the lineup right now but I can see their star potential with improvement, like, their vocals are already very good for their age. The thing is I have others trainees I like 😭 HengYu, Junmin, Jia Hao, Fan ZheYi, Geon woo (who was actually good in whiplash). It's impossible to choose, to think last season I was only strongly rooting for Gunwook, Keita, Yedam, Seunghwan and Taerae. Of course if Anxin and Sanghyeon were to debut I would not be mad, I think they deserve it skill wise (Sanghyeon can blend with improvement) and their appeal is actually needed for the group to be successfull among the korean public which is the most important....but yeah their appeal is not that big for me personally. And I don't even want to comment on masato and Liyu 😮‍💨 but still: I think Masato skills are "ok" but I don't see the idol aura in him, like he looks like he doesn't want to be here . And Liyu is the opposite, I can see him being an idol but his skills are way too low compared to the others. So this current lineup isn't giving anything for me, but who knows, I learnt to love all the zb1 members after the debut so hopefully it will be the same.

ari

anxin is my one pick but i NEED NEED both haneum & woojin in the groupppp!! my vocal kings

Pratiksha Majee

I cannot believe they didn't show Harry June's dance battle after showing him in the teaser! Is Mnet that scared that his votes might go up and he may replace whoever Mnet had in mind as the dancer of the debut lineup !!! It pissed me off I feel like he won't get the main dancer edit coz Mnet knows how extremely good he is but doesn't want him in the lineup so deliberately now showing his skills!! I hate this..I was about to give up watching the show and just vote for sangwon and few others. But I will watch it..but this si breaking my heart. Harry needs to be higher ranked..he needs to go to the finals.. how is he 57 while Masata and liyu (sorry this may garner hate) in top 8. They are not at the level to be in top 8..that is just the fact. They need more training.

ari

also just need to add that sihwan is vv problematic...

Pratiksha Majee

This is so disappointing.. I feel like people r voting for only visuals and popularity..like talent doesn't matter!!! I hate it!!! 😭😭 Ah these SVS are gonna frustrate me even more..I start a show, like it and the voting results piss me off..seeing less talented people survive and make the final lineup over better contestants, I hate that!!! Sorry if I am being too negative here. But I am just upset!!

Christine Copeland aka Christine's Culinary Quest

Totally not defending MNET, cause that dance segment could have been longer, just weighing in as an editor for broadcast TV shows. If the segment had to be kept to a particular length based on the way the producer timed certain segments, Jiang Fan might not have been in the final edit because he didn't go through to the next round so they only used participants who would still be on the show next episode. Might be the same for the Kill the Romeo trainee since they didn't all move on. Xinlong could have not been picked just cause there were so many people but you are right that being a C trainee could have been a factor. I noticed at the end they gave C trainee Yi Chen his third evil/negative edit in the previews. I'm hoping that they're finally giving him a chance to talk and show his good points and it'll just highlight his strong work ethic like test in the beginning of Project 7 that made him go viral before. Not holding my breath though. They didn't show Yi Chen's speech for a top 20 spot even though he's one of the top C trainees in the show. MNET is being so obvious with their K bias this season for real.

Zerose777

I don’t want to compare, but I think this lineup is already way better than Ahof and CYE. I don’t stan them because Groove didn’t debut. The only people who I’m attached to in Ahof are Park Han and Jeongwoo. And well, I don’t need to say anything about CYE. Their music is amazing yet not a single Main Vocal or any vocalist for that matter and an actual dozen. Not what y’all think Liyu and Masato are, but an actual dozen.

CRTJ

my current top 8 is Anxin Sangwon Junseo Kangmin Junghyunjun Xinlong Woojin Hengyu/Leo

Pratiksha Majee

I think in recent survival shows, Ahof has the best lineup so far..and in BP2..Masato, Liyu are not top 8 material at all..Sangyeon is a better than them but still not top 8, top 20 but not top 8. The worst lineup was of Starlight boys and the group is nowhere to be seen. And Project7 is okay. I was anyway only rooting for J-min or Jeon Minwook from BAE173 coz he was my bias in BAE173, wanted Muzin to debut, didn't happen and Kenshin..everyone else, not really a fan of.

CRTJ

I want yumeki to make it but he’s really not having a lot of screentime so I’m having a difficult time finding reason to vote for him than my current picks. hopefully he’ll get more screentime next ep so that I can finally have a reason to vote for him again

soleo

I 100% agree with your commentary on the Top 8, it’s exactly how I feel too, about who still needs to improve

soleo

There were so many groups that came out of BP1 like EVNNE, ONEPACT, and AMPERS&ONE, so I have really high hopes that we’ll see a lot of trainees from Season 2 debut in groups afterward too :)

Nova Amore

Ohh, I knew about the editing thing, and the specific amount of time slotted and etc, I guess I probably expected to see more of what they teased in the teaser tbh🤔

Lazycloud

My top 8, and I'm listing my 5 picks first. 1) Nian Bo Heng 2) Yeom Ye Chan 3) Lee Leo 4) Zhang Jia Hao 5) Chen Bo Wen 6) Lee Sang Won 7) Zhou An Xin 8) Park Dong Gyu Honestly, I've made peace that Chung Sang Hyeon and Chuei Liyu will be in the group. As long as we get another rapper into the group to carry the rap (He Xin Long since he's the closest!), I'm good. Cuz Chung Sang Hyeon is at sub rapper 3 level haha. Honestly just speaking objectively. His rap is aight for an idol rapper. Also Jeff I don't know if you saw it since you don't watch until the end but there was a vote to place members into the semi-final round original songs. There were 4 songs and 6 people on each team. The voting ended today though on 8/16. I don't think it's going to matter too much because it won't happen until the top 24 so one more round of elimination. Which means some people you match will probably be eliminated by then.

Joy

Omg a fellow Chingyu fan 🥹🥹 he’s so talented!! I need way more people to vote for him

Elena

I'm so mad that a lot are ignoring talent and ability

Jee Emm

I am not exactly a fan of this Top 8, but we'll see. Xinlong, look at that face! He stands out with that red hair. I really am becoming a fan since this started. Top 9, just a little push!! And why is Junmin so far in ranking?? i don't understand...

Strawberry_177

For the top 5 my votes will be: Sangwon, Anxin, Sanghyeon, Xinlong and Kaiwen. I also have a second device so i'll vote Sangwon and Anxin again cuz they're my favs plus Woojin Junseo and Junmin

Elena

My top 8: Lee Sangwon, Lee Leo, Zhou Anxin, Kang Woojin, Kim Junmin, Na Yunseo, Hsu Chingyu, He Xinlong

carm

1:03:07 chen kaiwen my onepick! he barely has any screentime :( but he is a chromosome trainee so under lay's company and a good dancer ofc!! he performed 'get a guitar' in his audition and i believe there was a mistranslation in your reaction - the subs say he claimed to be better than wang zi hao but he just says he's also most confident in dancing. i also think the full cam of his vocals is much better than what mnet aired but that's just my opinion. he rapped very well in s-class too and i think he stood out the most after the killing part! both jiahao and anxin are also technically chromosome trainees; they just went to a survival show (MakeMate1) and recieved kpop training under Nouer (kr company). they're all very close so i hope jiahao and kaiwen can go up in the ranks !!

Joy

GOOOO CHINGYU!!! He needs to be this groups maknae so badly!!! Based off rumors he apparently really shined in the 2nd round of performances today, so I’m hoping he gains more momentum Top 5 rn are 1) Chingyu 2) Sangwon 3) Leo 4) Boheng 5) Woojin

Jess 1993

Well... Except for 2 or 3 I'm happy with the last 48 participants. I don't get how these 2 or 3 got there considering they can't really sing well but whatever. Just like you, I'm okay with 6 of the current top 8. 3 of them are in my top 8 (Sangwon, Anxin, Leo) and the other 3 (Kangmin, Junseo, Sanghyeon) I can see them debut with the others. Masato... I don't get the hype. He is good/okay, but there are many trainees way better than him. He didn't "wowed" me in any of his performances. Liyu... Skill wise he is so far behind the other top 8 members and even if he improves in the next couple of months I don't see him match with the others and form an harmonious group... With season 1, trainees I didn't really support (Gyuvin, Jiwoong) debuted, I felt their faces did most of the work for them, but at least they could keep up and had their bases down. They work with the other 7 members. As for voting, I think right now Anxin and Sangwon don't really need my votes, they are secured in their spot, so I'm focusing on the others to try and kick Masato and Liyu out of the top 8 ^^ I vote for Leo and Xinlong everyday and then I alternate between some others, because I can't decide ^^ Junmin, Jiahao, Chingyu, Geonwoo, Nian Boheng I like. And I vote for Hengyu too, we do need a main vocal. Woojin is a great singer, but his dancing.... I watched his Plot Twist fancam and wasn't really impressed.

Line

Your rant about liyu being that high HAHAHAHAHA. Honestly, I felt it. Liyu and Masato are such questionable picks for me. People have been voting for their visuals when they haven't fully developed their skills yet. And we've seen this play out before, Liyu, at least, is already in the group. There's absolutely no way he'll be left out, people LOVE that face of his LOL. I also saw some people saying Sanghyeon didn't deserve his rank, but honestly, out of all of the visual picks, I feel like Sanghyeon is the slightly best suited lol. He's skilled, and he's cute. There's A LOT of room for growth, of course, but it's nothing compared to what Liyu lacks. Masato is the same, that star power just isn't there for him. He pulled the performance off, but... He doesn't shine. They gathered such a strong bunch this time around, and have been forsaking them all for these pretty boys, I'm just... It's so frustrating. And I've been seeing some tweets, even from Korean watchers, commenting on how the show feels more like a documentary about the debut of the people they've chosen for this group, and that Mnet should just debut those 8 boys and continue the program with the remaining trainees LOL

sushiracey

My Top 8: 1. Lee Sang Won (In Trainee A I trust) 2. Lee Leo (In Trainee A I trust) 3. Zhou An Xin (Something in the water at Nouer and their trainees) 4. Kim Geon Woo (He apologized, being strict is different from bullying given being a trainee and a trainee leader at that, and I don't just believe accusations that easily as someone who's been a Kpop fan since 09' given other falsely accused idols in recent time) 5. Chen Kai Wen (In Lay's company I trust) 6. Hsu Ching Yu (I'm drawn by his charm and dancing) 7. Kang Woojin (Vocals) 8. Park Dong Gyu (Leader vibes) 9. Li Yu (He has talent, needs improvement sure but what he has that most trainee's and even current idols don't have is star power. I won't name names but there are people from other survival shows that debut with only that and guess what, it brought a lot of presence and revenue for those groups. I never fell for it from those shows and even questioned other people's choices as well POLITELY but here we are now. I fell for Li Yu with his charm specially after seeing that he's actually a good dancer at least. What I'm saying here is that we shouldn't question one's choices because everyone has their own charm that other's do not. You may not see it and that's fine but clearly the millions of people that voted for him saw his charm and that's fine too.) 10. Nian Bo Heng/Chung Sang Hyeon/He Xin Long 11. Zhang Jia Hao (Something in the water at Nouer and their trainees but hopefully he shows more presence)

Ora

Enjoy you reactions so much! And we have same favourites! Everyone vote for Donggyu and Junmin ✨

wick 🕯️

Kaiwen (P21) did Get a Guitar in the first C-episode! He's from Chromosome, the same company as Wang Zihao (btw I remember you reacting to him saying he was better than Zihao at dancing, but that was a mistranslation; he said that (like Zihao) he is also better at dancing than singing). Anyway, he has gotten practically no screentime since then though (much like his sunbae lol) so it's not surprising you don't remember him 😭 He was one of the two people on the losing S-Class team who won his individual part (the other being Minjae, who had the killing part) and he has gotten praised for pulling it off very well! I thought his fancam was very good as well, I like his stage presence

onyx.

i’m actively rooting for the ones who’ve debuted: kangmin, junseo, gyeheon, harry june. trainees that i’ve also been voting are chen bowen and he xinlong ✨

randomz

been voting for donggyu with woojin & sangwon since day 1 😆🩷 these three are my fixed picks when voting and i just rotate it with other trainees that caught my attention every new ep

Irving

From this current top 8 I would replace masato, liyu and sanghyeon with geonwoo, xin long and yoonmin (if a miracle happens lol) or junmin and that will be my personal line up. I could get behind sanghyeon, but for masato and liyu....no I don't see any potential.. and yes WE NEED MORE SPOTS PS. At the end of the episode you missed a part, there is currently a voting to match people with the original songs for the seminfinals, and there was the preview to those songs to be able to vote

Thao Pham

I’m also bummed with didn’t get the Yumeki vs Baek Koo Young battle after showing it in the preview. Sometimes things are shown in the preview for next episodes that don’t make it in the Final Cut which is sooo lame. Then why tease it at all if you’re gonna cut it. They could definitely make the elimination ceremony a bit shorter and give us more content of, eg. Dance battles and other more entertaining contents.

Pratiksha Majee

yup Harry is the maknae..he debuted when he was 16!! He is 21 now

randomz

bp2 has a new voting system compared to other planet series (bp1 & gp999), the last survivor contestants for every elimination (like the 48th place rn) will have a live voting for i think 1 hour only during the survival announcement to determine who will have the final 48th rank, the same goes to the next survival elimination as well. that’s why star creators got theory that maybe this is a hint from mnet to maybe add 1 more member during the final line up which makes it a 9-member group like zb1 in the finale where they’ll reveal the rank 9 contestants and will do another round of live voting for them, and it also bc of the seating arrangement of the final top 8 too bc the chairs are a little awkward where 8th & 7th chair are beside with each other 😆 they said they’ll probably make 6th & 7th chair beside with each other then 8th & 9th chair with each other to balance the final chair arrangement. just a funny but quite interesting theory from star creators in X

CRTJ

xinlong is really bias wrecking EVERYONE! like just look at twitter! there are so many confessions that they just started voting for xinlong after the 1st mission. I also want to vote for him but my top 5 is already packed. I mean sneak him in other voting days. ahhh he’s in my top 8 tho. I really hope he will finally enter top 8

randomz

if you watch it until the end, they actually show the preview of their original songs for mission 3 😅 like smth over me, say my name in bp1

tada dadam

i really don’t understand the high rank of hu hanwen😭 even if you vote for visuals… he’s not thaaaat visual tbh😭 and those people also criticise those who vote for masato, liyu and etc😭 i would get it if hanwen was at least 40 and in lower ranks, but 25 is high as fck, bro can’t even let out a decent sound, i’m sorry junmin and dongyu being lower than him??? that’s fcking wrong😵‍💫

sunny

about he zhongxing, i don't even think he's trying to be felix. he reminds me so much of cai xukun, that's why i always feel the need to laugh when i see him TT

tamkan

so sad verivery dongheon didn't make it 😭

nins

Thank you for being honest, and I feel very similar about Liyu and Hanwen. I understand why thery have fans - Liyu seems super sweet and shy and he was outwardly feminist in the past, and Hanwen is super kind to his fans and has a crazy online footprint that a lot of people find funny (even I've talked about him to others) - but them being this high isn't right. There are other trainees that are just as good looking but are more stable and consistent performers. I also fear so many people aren't thinking about the group's future concept. They're going to be likely a very masculine group, doing music that I think will be Stray Kids or Ateez adjacent (maybe even Monsta X). We should probably get trainees that can pull off that vibe. I just don't see that versatility in Liyu yet. Someone else mentioned it but the entire show feels like a documentary following the pre-selected top 8 towards their debut as opposed to a fair survival show where everyone has a shot. The amount of screentime Masato and Liyu had in the earlier episodes was unwarranted. The whole Plot Twist conflict is also messy - how they edited Yichen AND the fact that Haneum was also the killing part at one point but they never discuss it. It feels like it was all manufactured to paint Liyu as a savior for the group. It feels disingenuous. So much of this season feels disingenuous. My top 8 who I can envision pulling off the future sound: Lee Sangwon, Lee Leo, Park Donggyu, Kim Junmin, He Xinlong, Chen Kaiwen, Zhou Anxhin, and Kim Geonwoo. If it's a 9 member group, add Nian Boheng. If it's an 11 member group add Woojin and Zhang Jiahao. No matter what, I will check out their debut. But if some of my faves won't make it, I won't be following them closely. I'll give their debut a shot but that's about it.

owo

unless my 1-pick (yichen) makes it to the group lineup, i am definitely not stanning this group lol but i'm excited to see how much the lineup will change throughout the show

Maria Elena Feliz

My top 8 after Andrew has been eliminated is: 1. Lee Sang Won 2. Zhou An Xin 3. He Xin Long 4. Lee Leo 5. Hsu Ching Yu 6. Kim Jun Min 7. Xue Su Ren 8. Kim Jun Seo If the group would be bigger I have 4 more people in mind: 9. Nian Bo Heng 10. Li Zi Hao 11. Arctic 12 .Harry June It's giving me a headache that we can only choose 5 people in this voting round so my main focus is on the 5 lower ranked in my list. and I interchange my 5th vote per day with one of the 4 I have as "spare" members... (this sounds so bad) but yeah I don't have a lot of hope for the debut line-up if things keep going like this.

It’s a tough one for me because I see so much potential for Liyu and from what I’ve seen he works hard and is improving every mission, I think I need to see him do a different concept for the next mission. Harry June has now been added to my top 5 😭

I'm sorry if this is a negative comment, but who in the world keeps voting for Li Yu? The man can't sing to save his life. He had 3 notes to sing in the last challenge and was on pitch for exactly ZERO of them. We're approaching semifinals and we have a kid high in ranking who can't sing. In a SINGERS' competition! I get that he looks good, but he has to be able to sing, otherwise, it'll limit the kind of songs the group can get, cause they'll be in that situation where fans think it's unfair he doesn't get lines, so they'll have to get less difficult songs to match his low abilities or the fans will riot. I'm sorry, but he should have been eliminated with the 1-stars.

I agree with so much of what you said. I don’t think Liyu, Sanghyeon or Masato should be in the top 10. I am so frustrated by both MNET and the fans focusing on looks and not talent. I am also frustrated that Anxin, who is also an actor, is so dead with facial expressions while performing Whiplash. I think top 8 are Sangwon, Leo, Kangmin, Junseo, Jiahao, Xinlong, Anxin, and Woojin

I agree with Jeff. If the group debuts as is I probably won't stan.

Wait this is sooo how I feel. Like masato and Li Yi are so far behind the other top 8 talent wise and it’s crazy and I don’t understand what is happening (though masato can kind of blend in but almost so much so that he’s overshadowed because his skills are so incredible average/slightly below average). But with Sanghyeon and Jun Seo for example, I feel very similarly as I did with Gyuvin and Woo Jin where I personally don’t really see the hype and I feel like their existing fanbase and visuals are carrying them but, they’re solid enough where I’m ok with it. And Gyuvin actually grew on me sooooo much after debut and he’s actually one of my favs in ZB1 now so I hope something similar will happen for me with some of the guys this season

I agree about cye lineup but def not ahof. I do agree that groove was probably better but most of the guys that debuted are very talented. Some of them, like Daisuke and Jeongwoo, and Shuaibo aren’t incredible but they are def good enough to debut and hold their own in a group. And then you have great talents like JL, Steven, and Park Han who debuted

I totally agree with you Jeff. I wasn't really satisfied with the top 8 but I'm glad some of my faves made it (sangwon, anxin, leo and junseo). There are some people deserve to rank higher. People should start taking seriously when it comes to votes. Voting talents matter than visual. Hopefully we get to see more their improvements for the next mission.

I couldn't agree more with you—let's keep voting for the one who really deserves to be at the top. By the way, it’d be awesome if you could also react to Junseo's drama "Secret Relationship" along with your Boys Planet reactions. It’s only 8 episodes, and each one is just 30 minutes! Junseo is such cutie patotie in the drama, I bet you will like it haha

IDK if anyone else mentioned it but a lot of trainees who placed high without getting much screen time, often came from other survival shows. A lot of these votes came in before the show even started so people were either voting based on vibes, or who they know from previous shows. Some of them: Yichen, Zhao Guangxu (LynnLynn), and Yeom Yechan all competed on Project 7, Yichen and Guangxu I believe both made it to the finals on that show. Sun Jiayang (cute guy who looks like baby gyuvin) was on Starlight boys. Hu Hanwen has an insane digital footprint and internet presence, there are past videos of him singing and dancing where he was much better than what he showed during S-Class. Also, I feel like the idea of trainees who rank high but not because of their skills are up there because of visuals isn't entirely correct. Yes I'm sure some of the trainees ranked high because they're good looking and lets be real, visuals does have a play in Kpop and that's not going to change overnight or through this show. But Kpop idols isn't just about Skills vs Visuals, there's more to that. Some are there because their funny, have a real good sob story or just oddly charming. Personality is another huge factor in who viewers are drawn to and I feel like people forget that sometimes. Yes, it would be better if people focus on only voting the best of the singers, dancers, rappers, because it should be aboue the best of the best. But to say "they're only there because of their visuals" or "I'm so sick of people only voting for visuals" Idk, just makes the concept of idols sound a lot more shallow and 2 Dimensional than it should be.

1:11:40 Mnet was actually so obvious that they want Junmin coz they gave him a good clips since the beginning compare to other trainees who still ranked higher than him.
