Was not very surprised.
I have a lot to say about this. Actually this was the first survival show besides the one for &Team which I watched. I don’t really like the idea of survival shows, typically because I know they’re gonna pick based on looks. Anyways here are some of my thoughts on trainees:
Mr Kim Sungmin, the guy who miraculously passed the first audition with Hype boy:
There were countless talented trainees on the show and yet for some reason Sungmin was automatically ranked high at first. Sure, he definitely did not deserve it at first, but after watching the show progress my opinions changed. I was completely shocked with how far he came with like no training. He went from not being able to dance, to doing complicated performances that weren’t easy for any of the contestants. I actually really like his voice as he started to learn how to sing. I have high hopes for him and I have a feelings he will do well as an idol.
Yeojun, Mr too good looking:
Looks? He’s got it. Stage presence? Immaculate. Talent? Definitely! At first I didn’t really know who this guy was, but in the later episodes I really did root for him. I prayed that he would debut and was very happy when he was announced. I wasn’t able to vote at the time, I think I might’ve voted for him. I don’t really have any negatives about him, he’s honestly probably gonna be my bias in the new group.
Seungho, the guy I didn’t know existed:
I’m sorry but almost the entire show I didn’t know who he was. He didn’t particularly stand out to me in comparison to the other contestants. Now looking about on it I can see the hype, but was he really more talented than guys like Youngseo and Binghua? Idk about that. I didn’t really think he would debut, but I’m sure he’s gonna be an amazing idol nevertheless.
Kyoungbae:
Bro is younger than me and it’s kinda scary. I didn’t know he was so little. I mean I can’t really be talking but even idols born in 2007 make me feel old, let alone 2008. He’s cute, he’s got the charm. I expected him to debut pretty early on. For being self taught I think he’s literally so talented! He’s got a bright future for sure.
Minwookie:
I didn’t know he was so old, actually I thought he was more like an 02 liner. I’m certainly not complaining though because I thought he would surely place like second place. I admire him for pursuing his dream, despite being almost too old to properly debut. His rapping is amazing too! I kinda hope he becomes the leader or the main rapper!
Kenshin!:
He’s so cute, like absolutely adorable! His audition was also really good (I think he won me over with the skz song lol)! Was he a bit overrated… probably yeah. He is definitely gonna be an amazing idol though!
Ma JingXiang:
I’ve know his name since like the first episodes. He was always so talented and stood out not only by appearance but skill as well. His voice may even be my favorite in the group. He definitely deserved winning, but I didn’t even know if he was gonna debut since he wasn’t initially ranked very high. I was actually in shock when he won. No joke, I was fully convinced Kenshin would win.
Some honorable mentions to my favs:
Kang Minseo - how the heck did he get eliminated before the final?! When I first laid eyes upon him I was like certain he would debut. He’s so handsome and talented! I hope he achieves his dreams in the future.
Lee Hanbin - the funniest guy on the damn show. Oh my god I literally love his personality! Also he really stood out to me in Love me or Leave me. His voice is too good to not become an idol. I knew he was gonna debut, but still I had my hopes…
Wu Chenyu - this guy was pretty sweet! I think he deserved to stay longer for sure!
Lynnlynn - ahh another comedic relief! He is not only really talented but is so goofy and I love it! He better debut some day pleaseeee
Yi-Chen - idk I quite liked him in the end. I know he really wants to be an idol and I hope his dreams come true!
Binghua - I love how he was busy putting on make up first thing in the morning and ended up being like the last one to arrive lmao- that was when I first noticed him! I secretly hoped he would debut too
Youngseo - best singer hands down. His voice reminds me a lot of Enhypen as a group. He needs to debut asap!
Honestly I could probably make comments about like everyone lmao-
Anyways, I was alright with the final lineup, even though it was very expected. Umm the group named though is a bit let’s just say unique… even my cat could come up with a better name let’s be honest.
