I'm just confused why you named Hui here out of all the trainees, coz practically it makes no sense, because he was never one to outshine Zhang Hao since they were in a team together ONCE and Zhang Hao was literally the star of that performances voted by the audience 🤣

I'm confused where that idea that Hui is the one ruining it for Zhang Hao comes from. Saying Hui makes it hard for Jay to shine, that I can agree with, but Zhang Hao? There was literally not one situation when it happened.

edit: also, I don't want you to apologize or whatever. I am just trying to understand the logic behind your comment.

What you wrote is that you ae frustrated when Hui is in the same team with Zhang Hao coz then Zhang Hao can never get killing part. Killing part has a specific meaning, but you use it as overall someone who has a lot of screen time in the episode and performance. You are mixing together different roles the trainees might have, hence my replies.

" i am directing my frustation because zhang hao didn't get most vote from trainee as killing part for jelly pop" again, what does it have to do with Hui when it's not like Hui got the killing part and any votes from the trainees himself.

You pointed out Hui when Hui was literally not once the reason Zhang Hao was not able to shine in the performance. That one time they were together in the group Zhang Hao actually shined the most, got the most votes from the live audience and the episode was focused during practice on how hard working he is and how good his korean is in Tom Boy.

So I'm just confused why out of all the trainees you named Hui, when literally Hui and Zhang Hao almost never crossed paths before, and when they ended up in the group, Hui did not take anything away from Zhang Hao.

Yeah sure Hui has a lot of focus on him and gets main vocal parts, but that's not what your first comment talks about. You clearly specified "killing part", which Hui never got, not once.

You said you are salty Zhang Hao never gets killing part when he is in team with Hui, but Hui also never got killing part, so it's not Hui who stops Zhang Hao from getting that killing part, but other trainees who actually got it.

If your issue is Zhang Hao never getting killing part, you are directing your frustration towards wrong person, since Hui never had killing part either.

For me han yu jin is up there skill wise, but he is simply too young to debut, especially with this creepy "noona i love you" narration they are giving him and would probably keep going after he debuts. This child is obviously uncomfortable with it.

One of the reasons I always said to never drag other trainees' names when one is unhappy or sad about their fav's situation. Coz it never leads to any good results - literally never.

yeah but my point is your reply had nothing to do with my comment that you replied to 🤡

I was talking about being leader, not having the killing part. Nothing to do with the performance 🤣

Wild thing to name Hui here when he himself never got killing part 🤣
Sure he always wants to try to get one, but at the end not once he actually got it, so it literally did not affect any of the trainees.

If I did bad job as a leader once, I would probably not try next time, especially before the finale when there is so much shit to worry about 🤣

Same, no1 since their The Real performance. I think he is like a Woosan child with Woodz as his uncle (said it in the past in comments lol)

on the lighter note, I'm finishing the episode only now and I have 2 thoughts:

I never laughed as hard as when Yu Jin said "Han Bin is talented, but "Hot Summer" is a very seductive song. I believe I can express that well through my performance" YOU 16 YEARS CHILD!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And also when Matthew wanted to lead Jelly Pop team 😂 this child never learns hahaha

all i wanted from this show was to see 2 han bins perform together and watch them in their practice together, and now it won't ever happen in the context of show 😭 like we legit never really see them interact much on screen, but we kind of get the idea they do - it's just never shown.

WE NEEED 2ND SEASON FOR THESE TWO CUTE ASSHOLES!
Not even gonna lie, about half way through the show I started to be far more invested and interested in them than the leads 😂

Gun Wook is young. They send him to all the shows to gain more and more fans. Just 17, so yeah they don't need to rush him to debut. Jellyfish is not the worst company, but also not the best. They debuted group in 2019, so I guess they might try their luck either now (if Gun wook does not debut with Boys Planet) or debut a group with him after Boys Planet group disbands.

The ravi issue is a new one. Hopefully the agency will manage to work around it

It's not the worst agency. The thing is, the debut might happen, I'm more worried how they will manage the group after the debut, coz they kind of suck with promotion

I wrote just overall about all 18 trainees, not considering the chances of their debut in BP

Realistically speaking, most companies who sent their idols to these show use it as an opportunity to build a fanbase for trainees they are planning to debut soon. They send their best, not the worst trainees. So when they get eliminated, only a company with extremely bad management would not try to debut said trainee, but rather go with some new no-name they kept in the practice dungeon for years.

The only trainees from current top18 who might struggle to debut/maintain their career after the show ends:

Sung Han Bin - only if he is not smart about it and has nothing to do with him per se, but the fact he is under the company created by Ravi. So depends on how the company will now deal with all the media shit.

Kim Ji Woong - coz we don't know if his agency will want to invest in his singing career, or use his now even bigger popularity to make him even more popular actor. Depends where they will see more profit. I'm also confused what Nest Management even is. Not an entertainment company. Is this more like a contract work? Like, he hires them to manage his image etc, rather than him being sign under them?

Keita - There is something going on with his current group with members going to different survival shows.

Hui - while he will do just fine as a producer since he gained a lot of respect in that area in the industry, I can see him struggling as an actual performing artist. Especially since Cube sucks and I would not be surprised if they dropped Pentagon this year and not renew their contract (not the first time Cube would fail a rather successful group).

Kum Jun Hyeon - but mostly because he is under a new company so we simply don't know how good are their management skills etc.

Jay - hesitated before I wrote his name down, because he literally released a song right before the show started. But then I checked his company and I have little trust in their management skills since their only other group is also in a survival show right now.

Kamden - company that can work, but they literally just debuted a band, and P1harmony debuted in 2020... so can they drop a new group so fast? Not sure.

Seok Matthew - the most popular artist left the company in 2023 AND they just debuted a boy group this year. Chances of a new group for Matthew to debut are rather low, unless they try to make him solo artist, which I doubt.

Yoon Jong Woo - because he is literally not under any company atm.

As far as I see it, everyone while in the show is considered a trainee. Same with Ji Woong who is an actor with big fanbase, or Keita who was in industry almost as long as Hui.

Personally, taking into consideration your previous comment about "stealing the spot" I did not find this comment funny, might be why it did not seem like a joke to me.

I'm not gonna argue with a child.
Go drag everyone into it and make people you are a fan of look bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
