It is the correct way, the judges being professionals and artists. When the members are selected by people's votes, it is not fair. So, I'm very happy with the result. The real best were chosen. Well done, SM!
Viki depends on the region, it is not available in Germany for example. I watch it in www.bilibili.tv/en, but you have to watch it soon after release, because they are deleted quite fast. I just watched ep.5.. At this moment ep 1,3,4 and 5 are available there
So, I learnt my lesson: I will not watch the next talent show to find a boy band. The votes are not reflecting who is the most talented but the 'prettiest' or like the popular boy at school. (Sorry, I don't remember the names). but the young Nr 3 cannot be compared for example with the other 2 talented who were running for nr 12 :(. and k-soul cannot sing, for what I saw it was playback in the last performance (please check and you will see that his mouth was not moving like the words being sang)... and the number 12 it is not at the level of the boy left out . So, as with the boy band from Boys planet, I will not follow this band. It was a waist of my time. And I'm so sorry for the so talented boys left out, I hope a clever agency take them.
