I totally agree with you. I would not allow boys and girls under 18 to make their debut.

I don't think anyone should be called narrow-minded on the basis of a video edited by Mnet. Can't they have feelings? They can, they are 18-22 year old boys, many people forget that. I think they did nothing wrong and said nothing bad about the "over me team".

Well, I dropped this series after the fifth episode. I don't understand how this got an 8.3 rating. It's terrible. The storyline is zero, the 2 main characters can't act (they could use 1-2 years of acting training) and with the exception of 1-2 supporting characters (Fluke, Mike and Drake) the series is simply unrated. So far I have wasted my time.

I would expand on that.....what do you think?

There are also some trainees I am not sure about, and what mnet wants to do with them:

4. Seok Matthew - The first episodes got a lot of screen time, only positive feedback. Unfortunately, this has been reversed. It is getting less and less screen time, a lot of hate from Korean and especially Chinese viewers. By episode 6, Lee Seok Hoon didn't even dare to say his name. I think MNET replaced him with Zhan Hao. This seems to be confirmed by the fact that there are a lot of clips and videos of Zhan Hao and Sung Hanbi. In addition, Matthew is hated by many people because they think it was only because of Sung Hanbin that he became popular and took advantage of that. Interesting that they don't say the same about Zhan Hao anymore, in fact it's a perfectly acceptable friendship.... I really regret this because Matthew is my favourite. Keita is my second favourite. I'm rooting for both of them.
5. Kim Tae Rae - He has a big fan base and He has a beautiful voice. He didn't get much screen time in the beginning, but he got more and more in the last 2-3 episodes, and he was praised by the judges. I think he's going to make his way up to the top 9.
6. Haruto - He gets enough screen time, with positive feedback, but somehow it doesn't work. He's very talented, but probably doesn't fit the "Korean idol image". I love him. I think the ZOOM team would be very popular in Europe or the USA. They are unique, they have style, I think they should have won, not the LAW team.

Does not want to debut:
Hiroto, Anthonny, Krystian - All three have appeared on similar shows before. They don't really get much screen time, with little positive feedback and, in Krystian's case, more negative editing. Mnet certainly doesn't want them

Mnet is supposed to want an international group, but that would require 4-5 G trainees, but we'll be lucky if there are 3 in the group (in the end I think only 2). I don't know why they put on such a show if this is what it ends up being.

The B team Rap killed the stage. I LOVED THEM!!!!

It was originally going to be 4 alphas, but it ended up being 5. Winners: William, Lego, Tui, Hong, Nut. William became the king of the alphas.

I read on Twitter that his support dropped a lot in China and Korea. While Zhang Hao is among the first, despite the hate.

"Hello global Seok Matthew fans‼️ some Matthew fans in China reached out and wanted to inform us to keep our guard in voting as he is not safe because of this survey result. Combination of Weibo, Douban etc. (famous socmed in China)"
1Pick → #12
6Pick → #26

What did the 5 winners actually win? I did not understand
completely.

I am not worried about Zhang Hao. "Haobin" has already been published, especially on Twitter. He will be in the top 9 all the way.

Seok Matthew......Unfortunately, since the first elimination show, a rather strong a wave of hatred started against him.

My English is probably not good enough because you misunderstood me. I wrote about how spectators in Europe judge the competitors differently than in Asian countries. I wasn't talking about any idol groups. As a European, I don't care a bit about a singer's looks, figure, eye shape...etc. How you sing is more important. It doesn't matter to me that he's a handsome boy but doesn't have a good voice. But that's my opinion. I understand what you're talking about, but I like listening to music. I watch the video clip 1-2 times and that's it. I don't want to argue with you, this is my opinion.

I also live in Europe and I think the same as you, but the attitude of the spectators and supporters is also different, as in Korea and China, for example.
In Europe, the spectators are generally not interested in the weight, shape, head shape, whiteness of the skin of the contestants, I think we value the sound and knowledge more than the visual world.
Support for the competitors is not so typical here, with advertisements for example, but the kind of toxic online behavior like in Korea and China is not present either.

My top 9, 7 g trainees and 2 k trainees: Zang Hao, Matthew, Keita, Jay, Wang Zi Hao, Ricky, Haruto, Sung Hanbin, Gunwook. This is an international group.
I know a lot of people disagree with me because there is neither Hui nor Jiwoong in it. This group would have everything you need: singing skills, dancing skills, charm, youth, energy, sexy, happiness...

I absolutely agree with all your lines. It was very frustrating to see this level of bias in voting. I was a little out of the mood to watch the next part. In my heart is first: Kill this love by G group, I would have prefered to see on MCountdown too.
This group G would be unbeatable: Keita, Zhanghao, Matthew, Jay, Wang zi hao, Haruto, Ricky,

Jinyoung told Minsu that he wanted to talk to others and get to know them better and encouraged Minsu to do the same. He let it be known that he did not want to go to a Paradise with her a second time. Minsu didn't notice it. Unfortunately, for the second time, Jinyoung was forced to tell her clearly that he was not into her romantically.

I love it. It is very enjoyable and funny. I don't understand this low rating.

What was Summer's reason for not choosing Aaron in the end?

Minha and Kunuk are very cute together, but unfortunately their friends are putting a lot of pressure on them....after 2 days......it's going to be bad....I think Minha cried because Kunuk is pushing her, he's a lot to slow down .
Seok Hyeon and Yena .....well....I don't like either of them based on their behavior. Okay, 3 dates in one afternoon. Not simple. But, if they have discussed who will come next, then pay attention to the time. Yena let Seok Hyeon stay longer (Iknow, he wanted to stay). If I were her, I would tell him that he has to go, because I respect my friend so much that I don't want her to wait. What kind of friend is that?

In summary: It has never happened that I couldn't identify with any of the characters in the story and basically either hated them or thought, they are miserable. I didn't like this story, but I struggled through it because I wanted to see how it would end. I'm disappointed..... I think Lee Ra El and Han So Ran should have died, not just Kang Yoon Gyeom. Seo Eun Pyung could finally be free and happy with someone.

Actors: All four actors are very capable, talented and brilliant, but in this drama, there were only two (Yoo Sun and Lee Sang Yeob) ,who played hugely. I loved them. Yoo Sun was phenomenal.
The other two main characters ( Seo Yea Ji and Park Byung Eun) were too stiff, emotionless, and didn't really affect me. Both played much better in other dramas....or maybe they are not a good match together? There was no chemistry between them. I know lots of people will disagree with me on this.

I’ve really enjoyed it so far (part 18). The actors are good, funny and serious at the same time. they don't get enough promotions. I’m amazed you don’t have a bigger fan base. I would look further than 20 parts. Too bad there are no English subtitles.
