Hey everyone!

This documentary will be the end of me, I swear to god... I'm not a trainer, teacher, whatever. So it's hard for me to judge whether Simon's teaching techniques are good. But man, was this a hard watch... I JUST WANTED TO PUNCH HIM

I also felt so uncomfortable seeing the super young girls dance a choreography like that but yeah idk... not sure if that shit is normal :/

Seeing Maya, Juria and Chisa in the hallway was just too much for me... ;-;

Also, they humanized Simon in the end of the episode T_T

You will probably start to like Simon more over the next episodes, I think. 4 & 5 might be amongst my favorites of the series.

Firstly, it’s not always Simon making all of the comments. Secondly, you need to think that he was just pushing them to put in the effort to be the best they could be. If he had just said oh yeah you dance ok, we would have got an average XG. But we got an amazing XG exactly because of how much he pushed them. He does mellow out in later episodes, and does explain his methods and thoughts. Hopefully you can grow to like him more later. The girls love him like a brother or father too anyway. 😊

Something to remember is that Simon is under immense pressure himself. He is new to this role as the head of XGALX and there are millions of dollars of investors money riding on him, so I think that unseen pressure explains much of the brutal discipline he is putting on the girls. It's really hard watching kids suffer though!

thats absolutely true!

19:00 this girl, YUI, never gave up, and in the end, 8 years later, she made it - in march she debuted in a group KEYVEATZ. They are fire and now she is eating there! If you have time check their debut singles "Key Beats" and "Catch My Breath". 37:48 the difference in dancing between TEAM C and other girls. Over the past two years, I’ve watched every reaction to this documentary that exists here and on Youtube, so i watched the whole thing about 40 times already. Reactors who have even the slightest connection to dance notice this difference immediately. I understand that this is difficult to grasp and accept, especially knowing the final outcome, that Chisa, Maya and Juria made it to XG, but it is the truth and has nothing to do with the attitude and methods of Simon and the coaches. And so, let’s segue into the topic of Simon. Please don’t take this the wrong way or get offended - when it comes to K-pop, we all admire how perfect everything looks and functions. Yet, for some reason, we are reluctant to acknowledge or accept how that perfection is achieved. In the XX episode Simon explains the nature of the "idol": it is a culture where people endure blood, sweat, and tears to come as close as possible to that "ideal" image we so admire. This process is perfectly captured by the phrase "pressure makes diamonds." This documentary is simply the first to show us this truth - raw and unvarnished. And you shouldn't view Simon and the coaches as outright villains here. Consider that this company was established solely to create XG, and its head is involved in every step of the process. Now, just think about how things operate at YG, SM, JYP, and HYBE - the nature of their executives, their management styles, how they treat the young trainees, and their motives for forming groups. Recall the journeys and lives of BLACKPINK members, or the fact that the amazing JIHYO from TWICE lived under such a regimen for over 10 years before debut, or LE SSERAFIM's training methods, and etc. If you piece together all the available information and rumors, it becomes clear that Simon and XGALX are mild in comparison to what goes on elsewhere in the industry. + we also shouldn't overlook certain Asian cultural nuances that are often difficult for Westerners to grasp - criticism and pushing people are perceived not as bullying, but as a form of tough love and a desire for the person to improve. The children and people there are accustomed to this and have a completely different attitude toward such words coming from adults or from more experienced, senior colleagues. As for Simon - i completely understand your desire to punch him, but believe me, the further you watch this documentary, the more you’ll understand these things; eventually, you’ll see just how much he loves them all, and how much they all love and respect Simon.
