Produce 101 Picks! (Discussion)
Hi all,
If you're keeping up to date with produce 101 season 2, I wanna ask for your opinions!
Who's your top 11 pick?
Underrated trainees?
Overrated trainees?
Trainees you don't really like?
Trainees you wished had made it further?
My opinion:
top 11:
- leader: kim jonghyun (dem leadership skills tho how can u not)
- main vocal: jung sewoon (been a fan since kpop star + he a cutie)
- rap + dance: daniel kang (his smile cute af he low key reminds me of bang yongguk)
- Rap: lai guan lin (he's good eye candy... lmao and he tries hard and has improved much!)
- visual: park jihoon (he reminds me of luhan in exo's golden OT12 days... rip)
- dance: park woojin (rhythmic slayage)
- Main vocal: kang dongho (not really a fan, but his vocals are nice. Open up is like my all time fave rn)
- Visual: bae jinyoung (he was so cute and lively in oh little girl! I rlly want to continue seeing him, he's came a long way. ALSO HAS anyone noticed how small his head is?!!!) he can also sing! Was thoroughly surprised in Bts spring day! I like his voice!
- dance: Ong Seongwoo (he's savage. I like.)
- variety: Yoon jisung (almost forgot about this ajumma oh no! Love the sass)
- Jack of all trades: Takada Kenta (the boy is talented af and he's sacrificed a lot for his dreams. Respect. He's also the most underrated trainee ever!!! His facial expressions during open up i was ready to open up!!! All i could see was him! Lmao he also reminds me of baekhyun from mama era! They both have amazing charisma and stage presence!)
Underrated trainees:
- KENTAAAAAA- its truly amazing how he's survived so far without much screen time. I heard a rumor from the korean websites he made it to the final round so v glad.
- Woo Jinyoung - the boy was sooo talented! He also did a great job in seventeen mansae but was really overshadowed by woodam's high notes.
- Hong Eungi: amazing dancer, deep kind soul, didnt deserve to get cut and honestly shouldnt have rechoreographed everything for haknyeon.
- Lee Euiwoong: good rapper and visuals
- Kim Sanggyun also good rapper and visuals
- Jung Sewoon: although he's a really good singer i would also put him in the underrated category. He's a musical genius--- watch some clips of kpop star if youre curious! He writes his own songs too.
- Yoo Huiseong (the guy from FNC with big cheekbones that sat in 1st place first ep but was pushed out by moonbok) he actually turned out to be a really good vocal!!!! He was praised more than Woodam at one point!!! Plus he seemed to be a good MC. I just wish he was around on the show a bit longer.
- Kim Namhyung + Jang dongsoo: the two guys that looked like they should have been on show me the money instead of produce are also insanely talented.
- Noh Taehyun: he's such a good dancer and he's so small!!!
- Kwon Hyunbin: he's not underrated that much, but i think he's really improved recently and deserves slack. Spoiler: i think he got eliminated tho. Didnt see his name on the knet rumor of final stage.
Overrated trainees: (i'mma be honest, please realize i am only expressing my opinions)
- Joo Haknyeon: uh so what has he actually done on the show?? He seems way too ambitious (hah thats putting it in a nice way) for parts he cant really handle. I 100% believe Kenta would have made such a good visual for open up. There's a reason why he was one in the first place and why his peers, including Youngmin would claim, "kenta has one of the best facial expressions in PD 101". He couldnt even keep up with the choreography for s sake. He still looked incredibly awkward on that stage. At least Seonho (who was also awk) had the decency to realize he couldnt handle center when they were trying to pick centr. Also i can't really get over the fact how spoiled he seems. In the right round team, he was the only one in top 11 and he wants to rechoreograph the thing so that he can stay "alive?" The rest of those kids in his team were around 50 and 60s! ARE U KIDDING ME? All i remember seeing in that performance is Haknyeon. And i'm kinda sad bc i really liked Hong Eungi as a person. And after Yeo Hwanoong (the real center of right round) got eliminated, an article on k net website was trending about what a nice soul he is and how he was one of the dance powers acknowledged by boA. Shame Haknyeon's ambition had to cover up Hwanoong's chance to shine. I do acknowledge that haknyeon may have been edited in an evil way but the fact of the matter is he did say "I dont feel like practicing" "I feel like I dont shine enough" and "You think I can be center again?" After his teammates trusted him with that position. I honestly dont think he's ready for debut and needs to finish going through puberty or whatever his attitude is supposed to be. I just can't believe he would be all demanding and y to hong eungi and then be all buddy buddy with high ranking hyung dongho. Enough said about dis dude. I'm not a fan. Point made.
- Kim Jaehwan I'M NOT SAYING HE'S A BAD SINGER WHOA THERE to me he sings very powerfully which is good for pop songs. But he sort of lacks emotion and tenderness when he sings. He could have softened out his technique a LOT MORE in downpour to match the vibe of the song. Thats just my personal opinion. I dont hate him. He looks like seulong from 2am #tbt lmao
- Lee Gunhee- i got nothing against him, but it doesnt make sense for him to be #1 in vocals. Also wasnt really a fan of how he took center for amazing kiss and made the other kid do all the high notes. Smth was fishy that day perhaps in the audience? ALSO as much as I love Jonghyun, he's not the best at rap either. His style is good but i sometimes have a hard time understanding his diction, even as a native Korean. Tbh think Woo Jinyoung or Kim Sanggyun was the best rapper on the show.
- OMG THAT 15 year old kid!!! He has a pretty voice I agree but he's not that great of a vocal to me?? Idk maybe he just looks too young for my eyes. BUT I CANT BELEIEB SEONHO IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLDER
- Jang Moonbok- people probs dont understand why he was overrated at first: its bc he was basically a k-hip hop meme from SSK. Lmao people recognized him at least and probably voted for him at first. Honestly questioning whether idol life is for him? Tbh
- Although i feel bad about pledis being there, you cant deny they have a distinct advantage as an idol group who had 6 years of experience. :( so just a small mention
Trainees I dont really like:
- Joo Haknyeon
- Kim Dongbin (kiwi) I dont hate him, but the way he chose to rap on a whim and them totally become a burden on the brand new music boys and screw up the rest of the boys (forcing woodam to go to dance by causing a chain reaction) was not okay in my opinion.
Trainees I wish had made it further:
- Jung Joongji: the guy who danced exo at evaluations and they made fun of him bc it looked like he was weeding he was kinda cute in a small way. Would have liked to see him longer:(
- WOO JINYOUNG
- HONG EUNGI
- Yoo Hweiseung (FNC)
- Kim Taemin (the dude is a living meme)
- Yeo Hwanoong (dance skills boa acknowledged!! Dam sad he got pushed out early by a certain someone)
if you read all of this I respect you. Lets talk. Lmao. I'll offer you some insight on whats happening in the k-net portals if youre curious.
Also probs typos bc was typing dis on the phone!
Update+ spoiler: Kenta was eliminated SAD according to knets jisung isnt likely to debut either SAD. Okay now the only ones i really really care about are sewoon and Woojin. I care about jonghyun too but i ING SWEAR i will not watch male ioi if Haknyeon is in there.
K MNET IM RDY FOR SHOW ME THE MONEY LMAO
