You won't. Junseo debuted in ALD1 with a 5 year contract. His current agency WakeOne already hindered Junseo from attending their 1st anniversary event cafe and japan fanmeeting. Jungwoo, Sunhyung and Hoyoung went there without the main lead. Junseo wasn't even able to watch Jungwoo's new show, but the other two went there together. They often meet up without Junseo, cause Junseo is too busy. Junseo only had 2 days off to go home and see his patents, and his hyungs and friends all say that Junseo has no time for them, so they have to go to broadcasting station to see him. He will stay busy like that for a long time.

That's rude and disrecpectful, and has no place here in the comment section.

His acting left such a powerful impression on me - I genuinely need to see him back on screen - he belongs in the acting industry.

Forever TT

Saying something so insensitive to someone whose confidence has already been broken is really not okay. Instead, we should be focusing on building his confidence back up again, with positive words and encouragement.

Sigh..... let's wait and see what we will get...

All I know is that zb1 was vocal heavy - ald1 might become dance heavy

So they were biased with other groups?

I hope ALD1 won't be biased. I didn't like how in "How to fly" the lines were distributed. I hope no matter what their rank is everyone can shine. They are one team now.

How did their skills develop? Did you notice any improvement? And regarding bias, did all the members get equal screen time and song parts, or was it distributed differently? Did someone get mistreated?

Quick question:

I’m curious — since ALD1 will only have a short time together before debut, will their bond really grow deep and sincere? Fans who followed ZB1 (from BP season 1), how did their relationships turn out? Was the bond meaningful, or is it hard to compare with groups that trained together for years before debut?

Right now, I'm having a hard time seeing ALD1 having a strong bond - it still feels a bit awkward since they are so different and come form different cliques.

Just move on. It's obvious Sangwon and Anxin favored Kangmin. Their disappointment was written all over their faces. That reaction sent a clear signal and if Junseo saw that, he would understandably feel unwanted and it would affect their future work. Everyone can feel disappointed, but showing it in such an obvious and unsupportive way wasn't smart. They were all working hard and chasing the same dream, so even with personal biases, showing basic respect and support matters.

Also, dancing to Chains at such an emotional moment was honestly not okay.

Junseo is my bias, but I also admitted that he was biased when he picked Masato as the killing part instead of Donggyu.

They all make mistakes. Just own it.

Me too TT

Sad, but true. I also preceived it like that, watching those fancams. I hope Junseo never sees those fancams. He is a very sensitive person, they would hurt him.

I see what you mean, because that’s also my observation about MNET really trying to bury Junseo. He’s been cut out of so much content, and a lot of it doesn’t even get uploaded to YouTube. And even when it does — even when he’s the center of the video — it’s strange how the comment section looks. If you check “newest,” every second or third comment is about Junseo, but somehow none of them show up in the top, while comments with just a few likes from other trainees do. It really feels manipulated.

Not to mention, Junseo has so many genuine relationships with other trainees that were never shown. He never got a precious relationship moment highlighted, apart from Masato — and honestly, I think Masato was one of the few who saw what was happening behind the scenes and tried hard to draw attention to him. Same with Donggyu who sticked to Junseo after Bad. Behind the broadcast, you could see people like Suren, Aoshi , Chingyu and other trainees being genuinely happy for Junseo. But none of that sincerity was ever portrayed. They never gave Junseo the positive light he deserves, and it feels like they never wanted to.

I also 100% believe that Junseo was used as a scapegoat to push certain trainees.

We all know the show is rigged. The editing makes it no secret and shows very clearly who the favorites are.

I really like Junseo and Donggyu and in today's episode we could see once again how close they are, always sticking to each other. And I can't ignore the twisted narrative the show is trying to push - framing the fact that Junseo's fans saved Donggyu in the last elimination into a storyline where Donggyu will ultimately cause Junseo's downfall. The headliner is "This is a survival show, be careful who you vote for, your kindness can set up your pick's own downfall."

It's like they want war between fans, because it generates more money. You have seen Junseo's insane alpha support and how mad his fans were. Mnet used that hate to milk fans' money. Everything they do they do for money. Let's be all real - Mnet used Junseo's huge fanbase. They used the materials they had to build the story they wanted to make more money. They have expoited his global support without giving Junseo the fair treatment he deserves.

I hope Junseo's international votes will keep growing. Only if he makes the final line-up, we will see real justice. He is so talented, and I want his unique color in the group.

It can definitely come across as suspicious, because there’s always the possibility that he gave away inside info or even helped him in some way. But like you said, you’d have to prove it first. Deleting photos of Donggyu with people connected to the mentor also feels suspicious.

But let’s be real… even if there is something, this show was always biased and never truly fair. Who really knows who gets help from the inside?

After Mnet’s malicious editing cost Junseo a ton of points, even giving him the lowest score last round, it’s impressive he still chose Brat Attitude (based on rumor!) instead of the safer Never Been to Heaven with all the top ranks. He is risking it despite the hate.

Main Dish was robbed - Junseo was double-robbed.

Whoever gave those scores must have been blind.

Also, the killing part in Chain should have been given to JiaHao. His dancing was outstanding. He only has to work on his voice.
