Reviews

Here do the reviews go! Generally, if you're accepted you're good to go (no need to worry about grabbing a spot), if you're pending, you got a few things to fix in the app to make your app available to be picked as main. I will pick main characters by the end of the deadline! Apps are linked by the pics!

SONG JAEGYU | HIRITU | CHOSEN

 

A fun, quirky and loud girl who drags her shy twin brother everywhere and steals everyone's hearts. Before starting training, she was one of Korea's top gymnasts, but an unfortunate accent in 2016 ended her career. Jaegyu and her brother always had a thing for music despite taking different career paths, but somehow they ended up on this show together, and they're looking to make the best of it now that they get to spend time together again. While Jaegyu loves pulling weird faces and joking around, her deep voice is a trump card.

SONG JAEWOOK | HIRITU | CHOSEN

 

The shy twin brother in question. Just as sweet as his sister but with the volume turned down. Him and his best friend haven't had any idol training yet, but he dares to dream of the debut anyway. He comes to the show all sparkly eyed and excited, not even knowing that his twin sister would actually join him on his journey. He already got a niche fandom behind him, coming from the esports scene. But now he has to somehow grab the attention of the public in between all these gorgeous people.

ZOREN AJERO | HIRITU | CHOSEN

 

Zoren was 2LITE's newest member until literally a few weeks ago, getting added for their latest comeback. Zoren always had a dream of standing on stage and tried to debut in the Philippines before this, but it didn't work out. Sadly, 2LITE is so badly managed and broken apart that this venture probably won't work out either. Joined by a leader that refuses to acknowledge him when cameras are off and a newbie that clearly isn't ready, Genesis88 is looking to be a hard road for him. But that hasn't stopped Zoren before.

BEAM CHAIYA KAWAREK | HIRITU | CHOSEN

 

2LITE's newest member was even more of a surprise than Zoren's addition of the group. Beam had just joined the company and was meant to join 2LITE after the show, but 2LITE's most well known member, Siyoon, got a good offer for a drama and therefor withdrew from Genesis88 pretty last minute. To fill in his spot, Choeun hastily added Beam to the group. This boy doesn't even have a position yet. All he can do is smile and wave and say 'I can't understand, I'm sorry' in Korean. It may be scary, but Beam is a fighter... and a big talker as well.

HOEN AKIKO | HZHFOBSESSED | ACCEPTED

 

Hi Maggie omggg im finally HERE TO REVIEW YOUR TWINS!! Since I got an early shift tomorrow, I sadly can only do one review today (im already up past my bedtime) but I promised, so I wanted to do at least Akiko today just for you ;w; Seriously thank you so much for being patient with me, I really appreciate it.

 

First of all, I think Mashiro is such a cute girl, and she actually looks similar to Hiroto, you picked out really good faceclaims for these two (unlike my twins that are just wishful thinking LMAO). They really give this cute energy and you can really imagine them standing there on the audition stage in front of the 86 other contestants, being hella intimidated. They’re ADORABLE my god. And it’s definitely Hufflepuff energy that I’m getting here.

 

Ohh god I can see her being evil edited, because she’s shy and got a language barrier… mnet might make her seem cold to the other trainees (I swear to god mnet). Being thrown into such a high pressure environment, often being separated from the only one she knows, the poor thing must be scared. At least there are a fair share of Japanese girls that she could befriend! She seems like such a sweetheart underneath that shell. Her stubbornness together with how her friends could really get to her will make for interesting tv, that’s for sure. Mnet is eating that UP. Despite all of her flaws (and the evil editing potential), she’s such a cute little bean, I’m absolutely in love with her already.

 

Oh lord, the high achieving child into kpop fan timeline. Her being a fan of Got7 is kinda funny cause we got Jackson wang’s cousins on the show. I wonder how the twins are going to react to the appearance of Ruiqi and Junyi! Of course the parents make ‘contracts’ out of the idol stuff, typical Asian parents LOL. At least they allowed the twins to give it a try! It’s so sad that it isolated them from their friends though… No wonder they got so shy.

 

I wonder if Akiko will keep a cute and detailed journal of her Genesis88 journey! I can imagine her writing in it while the rest is sleeping, messing up her bed with the stationary, having just a little light, that would be so cute I think. And when she is indecisive about something, she just disappears to go look for her brother while the rest of the trainees are wondering where she ran off to. And then she pops into the boys’ practice room and the guys act like they’re seeing a ghost cause oh my god a girl! That would be great. Going broke is such a relatable fear, HELP. Omg Infinite and FTisland?? She got immaculate taste. I love that.

 

I’m glad that Akiko is able to make some new friends on the show despite her shyness, it will do her good to have some friends around in this environment! And I can really see her potential of getting screentime for her cuteness, inexperience and potential for drama that can get milked by mnet (im sorry). I can see someone like Chiyeol seeing potential in her, on The unit he was also a very kind but correct judge. Ok I love JJ project! They’re so good! I remember discovering their first song (yes, Bounce) and absolutely loving them… But then Got7 didn’t keep the same concept and I wanted to curse JYP for it LMAO. But this does really feel like a good fit for them that showcases their talents!

 

I’m througgghh omg! This was way overdue and I’m glad that I finally made the step towards writing reviews. It was hard to get into cause I felt guilty for not doing them for so long… This review was done pretty quick but it felt really long because I had to get my cat off the counter like 20 times… Anyways, I really like Akiko, I think she’s adorable and interesting and Mnet would definitely have their eyes on her! I’m glad to have her in the line-up. I can’t wait to get into Akito as well. Thank you so much for applying, Maggie!

HOEN AKITO | HZHFOBSESSED | ACCEPTED

 

Hi again, Maggie! I’m back again with the review for Akito, the cute lil brother ;w; He seriously is such a cute little mochi. I did not think he’d be the fashionable one of the twins, but I’m so here for it. Zoren would love to discuss fashion with him (once they get past their shyness).

 

Omg Akito is a Soft BoiTM, if you know me, I LOVE soft boiTMs so im super excited ;D Oh hes so absolutely adorable, I bet he’s going to be popular among the contestants with his kindness. But him having this sort of switch on him, seemingly sweet but can be spiky, I really like that. He’s not just a Soft BoiTM, he can also be an Angy BoiTM. Mnet will eat the twins up with these personalities, seriously. But honestly, in survival shows, it is only right to be selfish. I can imagine Solar coaching him in vocal class and telling him to sing louder and let his voice open up, there is always one of these guys on every survival show, the guys that sing in -10 decibels. This time, it’s Akito.

 

I love the clarinet omg! I love the sound of it, it’s such a soft instrument. It fits him! But it’s so sad that he got forced into taekwondo, something that actually wasn’t a good fit for him… I’m glad the parents allowed him to drop it in the end. The clarinet cover channel is SO ADORABLE!! I really love that idea ;w; And that being the start of his dancing is so fun as well.

 

The boy likes cats and Ghibli? Immaculate taste, honestly. I didn’t expect him to like hard rock at all though!! What a good surprise. And you know what? I’m going to add a balcony to the dorms just for him <3 let him look at the skyline, mnet. I like that he is willing to be a center or leader, hell yeah boy, confidence!

 

Oh his cuteness makes him a popular boy for SURE! He’s just way too cute to not try and be friends with, you know? I bet the older guys just want to pinch his cheeks lol. Luckily for him, you don’t have to be a fierce rapper to fit in kpop, you can also be a cute rapper!

 

Oh my god I made it through! I had to stop this review countless times because my cat is having extreme zoomies rn and im trying to get the zoomies out of him before I go to bed… Thank you for sending in these two gorgeous twins, they’re so adorable ;w; Akito is accepted!

YOO AERI | MEOWZWRITES | ACCEPTED

 

Hi Eli!! I’m so sorry for taking so long on Aeri’s review but it’s finally here! To be fair, to keep up with everyone else I wanted to finish Zoren first, but life has been busy so its been taking too long for my liking D: and doing reviews is always a very exciting thing to do for me ;w; so let’s get into this!

 

Bora is such a pretty person, she got this classic beauty to her, I’m still so disappointed that Feeldog fumbled her >:c I didn’t expect to see a few older idols like her and Nichkhun be used as faceclaims in this show but I honestly love it. Power to 2nd and 3rd gen groups!

 

If she ever gets bashed on the show for being tan, just know that Zoren and Yuyan will be there to fight because they also get bashed for being tan but they think tanned people are beautiful and shine just as bright… Poor girl man D:

 

Oohh shes giving me mom vibes!! Good cause Yuyan can’t shoulder adopting 86 people by herself. It’s so nice that she really uses her experience in the industry to help the younglings and teach them the hardships and all the tricks to survive, I really love that. I always develop a soft spot for the older contestants that sacrifice their own screentime and chances to help the younglings, like Gunwoo on The unit. They’re the best kind of idols. She’s such a sweetheart, but also learned how to stand up for herself, and not only for others. Oh lord, that temper! Mnet is going to love that and will definitely poke her a little to try and make her snap at a moment. That’s so spicy, the mom suddenly becoming a monster, it would make great tv, but oh the poor children.

 

Getting scouted at a school performance is such a unique way to get into a company, but it also feels like its one of the best ways. Like you know for sure that your skills and hard work were some of the reasons you got scouted, it must be a great feeling. Oh lord, I bet she feels glad now that she didn’t debut in GLAM after all, that would’ve ended in disaster for her career! But because of all that, she had to do a massive downgrade in companies… I still don’t understand why a scandal made the ceo pretty much scared of women for years like isn’t that a bit of generalization? It’s not sitting right with me ngl. I remember GBB! A girlie I liked was actually in that group. Chaehee, I really liked her in Sol-T too, too bad she got so unlucky with groups… GBB really was gone in a flash.

 

She likes cats, shiny things and oddly statisfying videos, that is so relatable, I love her for that! But then she dislikes coffee… But honestly if you’re not a fan of bitter, I get it. With Aeri forgetting her phone everywhere, I bet she accidentally stuffed it in her suitcase and sneaked it into the genesis88 dorm without knowing LMAO. She’s a gamer? Alright Aeri, here’s your stamp of approval. But the big question is, does she play League of legends? If yes, she might’ve gained a few new friends in the Song twins and Jungil since theyre the peak LOL players. Man if it was possible, it would’ve been funny to have a LOL competition on the show with Jaewook and Jungil as casters (since them joining would be cheating). Oh god, it will be hard to room with her, she’d leave the window open and put on like 5 fans to cool the room and everyone else would freeze… Let the fight over the room conditions begin c:<

 

Oh Aeri, saying ‘to show how much I love him’ about a GUY in an INTERVIEW even though he’s just your friend is RISKYYYY. You’d think that after all these years, she’d have some more media skills, but honestly girl, you’re bringing the dating rumors onto yourself. ARMY will be feeding off of you in no time when they find out that the friend you love so much is J-Hope lmaooo.

 

Awww I love the fact that she gets along with my Jaegyu, and that she wants to stay in contact… But you know you get at least three guys along with her by proxy, right? Is Aeri really ready for that? Lol. AND SUMI omggg the babie ;w; I bet Aeri can teach her many lessons, and maybe push her towards the realization that Choeun isn’t really the place to be for her. I actually had the thought of doing a ‘where are they now’ after the show, and have Sumi join a company of another one of the younglings so they could debut together in a cute fresh girl group ;w;. OH MY GOD SHE REALLY DOES HAVE FEELINGS FOR HIMM how did it take me so long to catch on oh my god THE DATING RUMORSSS I wonder how she must feel about them D: IT IS MUTUAL??? BRUH IM SHIPPING THIS. I really hope it works out for these two beans man :c but the fandom… oh the fandommm.

 

It's so lovely that she wants to become an advocate for her fellow idols and their well-being. It is such a horrible industry, to the point that even kids suffer mental issues because of all of this… If she is successful on the show, she may actually be able to make a dent in all of this. Oh my god idk what mentor would say this but them man >:c I now need to think of which one cause I don’t think people like solar, seongwoo or Daniel would say such things. Actually I don’t think any of the mentors who are an idol themselves would say it, since they know the hardships themselves. Also, being a backup dancer is a very honorable and nice job! Oh, hinting at a disastrous up & down performance? I need to write that down, it could be a good idea, since actually many of the girlies that chose that song are rappers. But I still need to allocate everyone to their teams, so there’s no guarantee that she’s in up & down yet! But she does definitely fit its vibe very well. I bet she’d be a primary choice for team Something as well though. Oh my god the ‘did hoseok also enter through her backdoor’ comment absolutely killed me!! Yeah its hella mean but its also hilarious, HELP!

 

It's so nice that you provided an idea for the ‘where are they now’ segment without me even mentioning it lol, but that’s for the far future! Hoseok becoming a dance instructor in s2 would be cool, but also pretty wild cause you know… They will connect it to Aeri again, and think one of them got in because of the other putting them forward LMAO. Anyways, Aeri is a really nice addition to the show, she’s accepted! Thank you so much for applying :D

LEE CHAEWOONG | SHUSHUHUAHUA | ACCEPTED

 

Hi Kenzie! I’m happy to finally get started on your review for Chaewoong!! Thank you so much for sticking around and submitting some great babies for this show ;w; I really appreciate it! Oh god how is it that Jackson Wang keeps appearing?? Before the inactivity ‘purge’, his cousins were on the show, and Hoen Akito is actually a huge fan of the guy, so if he learned that Chaewoong is actually friends, he would be clinging to this guy lol.

 

Oh god Chaejussi made me think of something else, my mind got so corrupted with twitter life that my brain went ‘he put his whole chaejussi into it’ NOOOO I BET JAEGYU WOULD SAY THAT HELP!! I’m so sorry for ruining this review already, I am ashamed. Oh yes, another mom, mom #3, they can all divide the babies equally and talk about which ones are the best and worst behaved with a cup of triple espresso. Oh my god what I said era was the best victon era, just a side note LOL.

 

One thing that I noticed is that he only has three positive and negative traits, and according to the cheatsheet, there needs to be four each, so please add at least one for each :c Him being a motherly leader figure is interesting, I can definitely see him taking on a leadership position, but maybe wouldn’t dare to try and be a center? Actually after looking into things and making some initial second mission ideas a while ago, I already developed a little bit of a plan for him and one of the kiddos c:< it’s going to be GREAT! Especially since he’s so disciplined, he can also talk some discipline into others if he takes the leader spot… And some of these kids need it c:< Oh am I glad that we got a braincell here, we were lacking a few. It’s so sad that he’s insecure though :c Chaewoong, please don’t be sad, you’re an awesome lil guy! I like his personality, but again, please add one more positive and negative trait please :c his personality doesn’t feel as deep as others, he could use a few more aspects to him.

 

His background is very brief, but it’s honestly not a problem, you showed his basic life trajectory, I’m sure the things that are lacking (his idol sisters, his company switch and idol friends) will appear somewhere else in the app so I don’t mind! Oh the scratchy throat, I know the feeling, it’s so bad D: And the tight pants!! Oh my goddd yeah. Relatable king. Oh I now want someone to ask him to do aegyo. Since he picked a cutesy second mission song, imagine if he’s asked to do aegyo on stage in their little promo part to get votes after they perform the song. I think Minho’s going to be dead after that LMAO. Him being like a grandpa absolutely kills me cause he isn’t even close to being in the top 10 oldest contestants and he is actually really close to my own age so I feel a little bit offended (im kidding). Wait, why is member debuting a fear of his? Is he fearful of another member debuting? I’m not sure about this one… Could you explain please? You got me curious. Oh god he can’t cook? Don’t put him together with Zoren in a cooking competition (maybe this is a plan c:<). Ok why do I feel like he would look so cute with glasses, I need to see it!

 

Man, his sisters clinging to him is such a cute sight! Chanhyuk giving him flirting advice because he’s hopeless is so funny to me! Maybe, just maybe… he could find himself a girlie on the show? Hmmm, that’s a thought. I was thinking ‘suhyun drama? She didn’t get into trouble, did she?’ but then I scrolled down and realized that THEY USED TO DATE OH GODDD that’s awkward… HE DATED HER WHILE HE HAD A CRUSH ON JIHYO??? Now that’s just mean!! No wonder this guy is called hopeless, he lies to girls and treats them like ! Chaewoong, get a grip! He would even talk about Jihyo to HIS GIRLFRIEND’S BROTHER??? Bruh this guy is not clueless, he’s kind of an ! At least he apologized but dear god he shouldn’t have dated her in the first place.

 

Oof he got cut out of Got7 last minute… And then they tried to put him into day6… My god this guy got unlucky (I’d like to think that this is karma but I think this happened before he dated suhyun, no?). Oh my god I just thought of the controversy it would be if a little birdie told the media that he dated suhyun while chasing after jihyo and treated her badly… Oh Chaewoong, you don’t want that to be released to the public, that career would be gone in a flash! My god, imagine having sister dancers so skilled and you literally lost two debut chances because of your dancing, that must feel like . Oh god he was rigged out of x1, that’s so !! Ok maybe it really is karma but damn he’s one of those really unlucky idols :c And yeah, top media being horrible at managing careers… are we surprised? We aren’t at all.

 

Oh Suhyun as guest judge would be SPICYY!! Actually, I still need some artists, so if he gets far enough, it might become very spicy for him, karma keeps coming to bite him in the and I am actually living for it.

 

Thank you for your app! I think he’s going to be great for the show, this leader guy that may bring some drama and get evil edited, I’m lowkey living… Thank you so much for fixing the issue, Chaewoong is now accepted!

NAM JEONGUK | BUTTFLUFF | ACCEPTED

 

Oh my god mr booty I am so so so sorry for forgetting to put this guy on the review page even if you turned him in separately! It really came in at a bad time, I guess. But that was on me… Anyway, to redeem myself, here’s hopefully a really exciting review for ya.

 

One first comment, I’m still kind of confused about his name. Maybe it’s war flashbacks, but is his name Jeonguk like in his romaji name or is it Jeongguk? I honestly don’t know how to spell his name correctly or pronounce it because the one Jeonguk I know is pronounced Jeong-uk. But his name is more like Jungkook in a way, but then also Jeong-uk is with a Jung but not a Jeon. This has really confused me and im so sorry for that cause I feel like I get it wrong all the time D: War flashbacks to when people were flooding Jeonguk hashtags with Jungkook cause they couldn’t spell their own bias’ ing name and then got mad at us for calling them out oops. Ok how about we just call him Gukkie to avoid confusion LMAO.

 

Anyways rant over, let’s actually get into this guy! Oh a Vive world tour, man you know I would’ve been there (sadly a-jax never came to Europe :c). Taemin the dancing king? Hmm, I’d personally give that to Roh Taehyun but valid, very valid. He was named by Feeldog to be one of the top 7 after all (with Roh Taehyun ofc, my king c:). Oh my god he was a menace maknae, I love that so much. Man it shows that I’ve been watching too much tattoo content lately cause I see these tattoos and think ‘oh god these are going to heal badly’ My god I need to stop watching Treacle Tats lol. I’m sorry for this ty review, I feel like im rambling on about my thoughts rather than actually looking at gukkie, like we’re so far in and only onto the personality now?? Maybe it’s because this is your guy, , cause you’re an old friend ;w; And honestly so far this guy has been perfect so there’s not much to comment about. But oh, he’s a fashion icon, maybe him and Zoren can be friends!

 

Huh, I somehow got like a cool guy vibe from him based on his faceclaim, but he is actually a sunshine! How cute is that! Oh he’s going to be greatly needed for genesis88 cause these kiddos will need the positivity for sure. I feel like he’d be the type to randomly know so many idols and other trainees that it leaves people scratching their heads, like he knows 2LITE, he may know some other older trainees, oh maybe he knows Ken too since he was in A-prince… He would probably know at least one mentor as well cause he’s gukkie… He'd be the one guy that’s friends with everyone and their cat. If he ever gets eliminated, so many people are going to cry, I’m so not ready (which means he has to debut!!). He’s just this friendly guy that works very hard and will probably help struggling trainees… Everyone will love him :’) except maybe Ollie, he might think this guy is a pushover lol. And Kitae, we all know that Kitae’s kinda… Not into this stuff anymore. It’s going to be so interesting seeing him probably growing into a big brother role while also still being stuck in his maknae ways. At least he’s not the oldest on the show yet, there are still quite a few people older than him that can baby him. I mean, Yuyan volunteers. Oh my god the tantrum stuff gave me the mental image of him lying on the ground, kicking his feet around (like Gunhee during the third mission selection on produce101s2, that was hilarious). He probably won’t go that far, but the thought is amazing. Oh he’s a spoiled little brat, that might be fun for the show c:< Imagine him not getting the lines he wants… Mnet are already prepping their evil editors.

 

This guy is just a smooth sailer, isn’t he? (Maybe not once he debuted tho) like the mans is supported by his parents in doing what he loves, got good sisters, friends and good grades and then he just casually strolls into dsp like that? Man, I wanna be him :c

 

While he is a relatable little weeb, there is something wrong in the likes section, I think you somehow snuck a dislike in there, and a wild Luey, but that’s alright, just fix it when you have the time but it’s not really a big issue! Oh since he’s such a big social media guy, I wonder how he’ll survive without his phone for a while, oh imagine not being able to update your fans with amazing selfies and watch them all swoon… He’s going to be so dramatic, I feel like. The long showers are going to make many other contestants mad, I mean, there’s probably 10 showers at most, maybe even just 5 for 44 guys and he’s just in there singing until the water runs cold for everyone else. They’re going to drag him out of there LMAO. Oh him calling everyone by a nickname… sadly im horrible at nicknames so you might have to help me with that, oops. Does he make ugly nicknames for people he dislikes too? Ok the sensual god thing made me almost spit out my drink, that took me by surprise! Just like how gukkie takes people by surprise by becoming a sensual god. Goddamn! Man, his trivia are really a joy to read, its all so much fun. It’s so sweet seeing him still hang out so much with his old members :c I wish all groups did that. The corgi named butter somehow makes me laugh so hard, it’s a perfect name for a little corgi. I love how his happy personality shines through in the interview, I sometimes find it hard to portray people during these interview sections, but it is really noticeable with him!

 

Oh my god Hamin is such a cutiieee he looks younger than the actual maknae this is so funny!! I love him ;w; Oh my god the vive boys!!! More like the vive MEN cause holy damn they are BEAUTIFUL MEN yet they have this dorky vibe to them that old kpop boy groups really had ;w; they’re literally perfect, I am their fan for sure. What’s their fandom name? I bet Jaegyu is a fan of them as well since she’s into the older boy groups (but 2LITE are still her faves). Oh my god we will be tuning in for Junho’s marriage yaaasss! Honestly, all of vive are amazing! I’d probably be a Dongjun bias lol. The confrontation with kitae is going to be very interesting, I’m so excited that this came to be so naturally, thank you for that ;w; you’re doing a great thing for the plot before it even started! Mnet is going to eat it up as well for sure. With every review I feel myself finding more things that mnet would love to evil edit… am I the drama?

 

Of course Gukkie wants to keep his stagename, it keeps his maknae energy alive. Man, A-JAX didn’t really have the chance to shine as they barely had any releases, but they were my bias group for so long! I’m so happy to see them represented ;w; insane and hot game are some of my favourite title tracks of all time still. Romeo was also such a slay song, Junghee was such an amazing addition to the group, while I also really missed Sungmin :c Man I need to stop yapping about my boys I am so sorry. Oh you know what’s interesting? Gukkie’s latest solo comeback was also right at the same time as 2LITE’s last release (when Zoren joined) so he may have already seen them backstage and gotten a hint of what was going on with the group before gen88. Maybe he even went to say hi to Zoren, but he was probably too shy to really say a lot back. But he’s probably still friendly with Siyoon since Siyoon isn’t as bad as Kitae. I should make a 2LITE profile perhaps cause they got a guy in wanna one, a guy in unb, many guys gone… It’s all a big mess. I really like his choice of beautiful beautiful, I think it really fits him, and he may just end up with jaewook and jongho. And I feel like they could work together in a group visually, all looking handsome and on the mature side, but still having that pretty boy side.

 

Ok damn I’m so sorry that this review got so long… I wanted to quickly do this after chaewoong’s and then go to bed but I started yapping and just kept on yapping cause there was so much fun stuff to say. The app is so gorgeous, Gukkie is a great lil guy, I love him and Vive to bits, I am their biggest stan (sorry Jaegyu). Of course he is accepted! But hey, update me on that name, will ya? xD

SEO JUNSEO | B2UTYVIP01 | ACCEPTED

 

Hi Xian! Thank you so much for joining in and being so quick with apps, it really is incredible and I’m super thankful!! It really brought back a lot of motivation for me, giving me hope that at least some people were still interested ;w; I’m so excited to get into reviewing your adorable kiddos! And first up is this gorgeous shy bean, Junseo ;w;

 

I love that he has a strong aussie accent, I can’t wait for the ‘junseo being an aussie king’ and ‘junseo confusing other trainees with his Australian accent’ edits that fans will inevitably make LOL. Junseo is an introverted person, yet he is known to take on a leadership role… I wonder how that will turn out! Maybe it’s because of his creative mindset? I feel like he could really elevate a performance with his ideas. He’s optimistic and passionate, it feels like he will really be loved by fans and other contestants. Now I can see how he can take on a leadership role despite being introverted, his passion feeds off on other people. He’s the kind of mood lifter that will make everything work after everyone thought it was ruined and they would all be eliminated. That’s so sweet ;w; Can he be on the team of my babies? Please? I bet everybody will want to have him lol. Oh the poor child is sensitive… That really isn’t a good trait to have for a survival show, I feel for the guy :c He’s going to be the guy sobbing his eyes out at the eliminations, not because he didn’t make it, but because one of his team didn’t make it. oh god I am NOT READY! I wonder if his perfectionism will actually shine through to the other members, and if he might run into confrontations with them by wanting to achieve the perfection he so desires. That might become very interesting…

 

Nah I cant believe he just disappeared on his Australian buddies like that LMAO he just ed off without a word?? Damn bro he’s going to make people believe he died or smth I’m cryinggg! His poor friends must’ve been so concerned… Ok but him liking Bigbang… that’s so tasteful of him. Bigbang is the group that got me into this mess as well lol.

 

I wonder if fans will find out about his liking for badtz-maru and start linking them together? Cause I think they kinda do look alike lol. Like how bbgirls’ Yujeong is often compared to Squirtle. That’s so cute ack- Oh he likes fashion? Bam, he’s now obligated to be friends with Zoren. Fashion kings. Maybe he can model for Zoren’s fashion line in the future!! He dislikes chaotic and messy places? Oh lord, he’s not going to survive Genesis88 at all LMAO. Oh my god he is a little seal, that’s SO CUTEEE I love him ;w; Him naming his guitar as if it’s a dog took me out, that’s so cute. His mismatching socks too, how much cuter can this boy get? God dammit he’s capturing my heart already >:c

 

His big brother promoting Junseo is so goddamn adorable, I love it when family and friends are supportive of the contestants ;w; it is so heartwarming. I bet Jake’s going to promote him as well. I was actually wondering if he had joined I-Land or not, but turns out he didn’t. I wonder if he would’ve been popular on that show, hmmm. It could be a story used to promote him, that he was almost on I-Land and is close to the Enha members. (that’s how fans call them right? I’m not rlly into them lol). I love how their presence demands respect, it's always cool to see trainee groups enter into survival shows and people immediately think ‘oh they’re going to be strong’ and they might be right but they also might be entirely wrong lmao. I wanted my KQ group to give the same vibe as well. I bet people let their guard down once Junseo shows his shy smile though. I just know at least half of them will melt on the spot. I bet that this is the kind of guy that only really blooms once they get to the third mission, I noticed that theres always a few on these shows. They don’t really get noticed but get past the first elimination and suddenly BAM they’re THERE and everyone will know it. If he makes it past the elimination at least slmfkjdls that’s not up to me (well partly but I am just one of the voters among hopefully many). Oh of course Ong Seongwoo knows his stuff. I bet him and Daniel are the mentors that know all the interesting tidbits about the contestants. And Bobby too, he’d be great. Omg a dance battle with Daniel?? That is so funny!! It reminds me of Lex doing an impromptu duet with judge Hwang Chiyeol just because they were wearing the same outfit LOL. I love the vibes.

 

A runway and cooking competition were both things I had in mind for elimination episode fillers. I know Junseo would be living for the runway, and Zoren will have his eyes out for potential fashion models to sign LOL. You always show Junseo as the mediator in conflict between other trainees… But it made me really curious how he would handle it if he got dragged into conflict himself, maybe due to his perfectionism as I mentioned before… That’s an interesting topic to think about, isn’t it? Oh, the reunion between Junseo and Aera idea is SO CUTE! I really like this pookie, he’s accepted! Thank you so much for applying!

JEONG AERA | B2UTYVIP01 | ACCEPTED

 

Hi Xian (2)! I’m immediately trying to get out all three of your reviews so I can work on extra Gen88 content without feeling any guilt lol. I still got so many things on my to-do list, I always get too much into these things. Let’s get into Aera right away! She’s so stunning, and because her fc is from Everglow I’m immediately imagining her together with Sohyun, the girl that got Onda as her fc. In fact, the creator of her is a big Everglow stan, so I raved to her that there was another Everglow girlie incoming and she was very excited.

 

Her bursting into her Jeollado dialect when she’s excited is so adorable, fans are going to eat it up, videos of this will spread everywhere, I bet. She may be one of the visual picks of the show, both among fans and among the other trainees. She’s so stunning. Oh and she got a stunning personality as well, she really feels like a welcoming, warm person that trainees will flock to in good and bad times. I can really see how she’s going to become great friends with Jaegyu, they share that huge energy. If they ever end up in the same team, they’ll be bouncing off the walls together. Both of the BE:LIFT LAB trainees are creative souls, I almost think they should just debut as a duo instead of getting into their own gendered groups. But they could also just become a sobbing mess together. I wonder how her indecisiveness matches up with her impulsive nature? Does it work in a way that she’s so indecisive that she just stops giving the decisions any thought? These traits do clash, so if you could explain a bit more how it works, that would be great.

 

I somehow keep thinking that Junseo and Aera are siblings, but they’re not LMAO. Well they are kinda like siblings in a way. So both of these babies got into kpop because of yg groups, in a way? You got Bigbang for Junseo, and 2NE1 for Aera. Aera even almost got into the next 2NE1, but she was too young. Honestly good for her that she didn’t because blackpink is a mess and she was definitely too young for such concepts. I can imagine there being an elimination episode and everyone is mega nervous, but you zoom into Aera and she’s just pouting! That would look quite funny I think. And whenever someone around her makes it, she HAS to pat their heads. Oh she’s a flirty one, that’s interesting… I wonder if she might break any hearts on the show. I love her friendship with my Jaegyu, they definitely feel like they’re destined to be friends. I really hope they end up together at one point so they can really have a lot of moments together! But I have a feeling that they will… It’s so cute that Junseo is able to loosen up around her as well. Man she seems like such a joy to have on the show, such a happy bean! And in the meantime, she’s scooping up all the silly people as friends, including mentor Seongwoo, that’s incredible. I bet the younger mentors like him, Daniel and bobby will make some friends on this show despite them being mentors.

 

I really like Aera as well! She’s accepted, but if you could explain how her impulsiveness and indecisiveness work together, it would make her even better! She’s so fun and I’m so glad that people are thinking of my kiddos and incorporating them into their own characters, it makes me so happy ;w; Thank you so much for applying again! The Be:lift lab trainees are surely going to make a splash on the show.

SIM HAEIN | B2UTYVIP01 | ACCEPTED

 

Hi Xian (3)! I’m here again with your third review of precious child Haein!! Oh my god he looks like a pomeranian, that is SO ADORABLE god dammit!! I love little pompoms and I can definitely see why he’s compared to one. He’s so tall! He can be tall twinsies with Beam ;w; Two tall baby pups together.

 

Oh we got a social little bean over here! No wonder he gets along so well with the rest of the 05 squad. They really got two big chatterboxes already. God he’s so adorable. I bet his loyalty will be tested by mnet on the show, since hes such a sweet loyal guy, mnet might try to crack him by generating drama and conflict between him and his loyal friends (him and Beam perhaps??). And since Haein is naïve, he could be manipulated by the producers… Very interesting. He’s a carefree, young little bean, which makes me feel like he might underestimate the challenge on the show? I get the feeling that if he knows the choreo, he will just go to sleep at regular hours while others stay behind, resulting in him potentially falling behind? I’m trying to find potential scenarios here so I’m sorry if I’m wrong but that’s the vibe I get from him. It doesn’t make him a bad kid of course! He’s like ‘hey don’t worry its going to be fine’ and then goes to sleep and the fans are like ‘HE GOES TO SLEEP BEFORE MIDNIGHT AND GETS A DECENT NIGHT WHILE OTHERS ARE PRACTICING??? wHAT??’ honestly slay, get that beauty sleep. Is he going to be the Sunghyuk of the show? Where he trips over stairs during the elimination episode and bumps his head into a table while bowing to a mentor? That ’s adorable, goddamn. Those guys always get a lot of love on the show due to their adorableness. Verbose is a trait I have never seen before… I didn’t know what it meant so I had to look it up rip. But honestly, it’s something very relatable! He’s a little rambler that trips over his own words and takes 10 minutes to tell a story that could be told in a single sentence by someone else. God he’s so cute.

 

He dislikes jumpscares? Oh the poor child is going to be so horrible at the classic scare challenge. If that does appear and he’s still in it, he’s not going to have a good time lol. Is Haein going to become the reaction king of the show? My perception of him in produce 101 season 2 terms is a mix of Seo Sunghyuk and Yoon Jisung right now (and the carefree life reminds me of early Kwon Hyunbin kinda). Oh my god we have a headpat asker and a headpat giver ;w; this is so cute. The parental figures of the show (and Jaegyu & Aera) will be fighting to give him headpats. Get in line, people!

 

It's so adorable that Junseo and Ahri are like his parental figures (Yuyan will be jealous). And that makes Jaegyu an auntie. And of course Jongho becomes an uncle, which makes Jaewook an uncle by proxy as well. This kid is building a whole family LMAO. The falling out with Beam might be interesting… But hopefully they resolve their issues soon :c but it sure brings spice to the show, so mnet will be their fingers after eating up this free drama. The baby roosters squad is so cute, it probably started with Haein and Beam, Haein bringing in Ahri and Beam bringing in Sumi and Princess and then it just continues growing until they have gathered all the 05 liners and they can organize a coup d’etat over mnet.

 

It's so nice that he found his home in EDAM after not having a good experience in Fantagio. But I wonder if he met Seongwoo? It’s so sweet that other trainees try to encourage him to go for a center position, it would be so cute. Oh nooo don’t cry, poor Ahri D: we don’t want that here! (even though my own kids are going to cry at the auditions as well oops-) But Solar coming in to give her a hug is so sweet, they probably feel bad seeing such young babies cry ;;;;

 

Another amazing little sweetheart from you! Haein is of course accepted. He seems like such a sweetheart but there is potential for some good drama in here which I love. Thank you so much for all your kids ;w; I hope you’ll like these reviews!

BAEK SOYE | SHUSHUHUAHUA | ACCEPTED

 

Hi again Kenzie!! Thank you so much for applying for a second time and I am sorry for the delay on reviews. My life has been a roller coaster pretty much but I finally got some energy to pour back into this story! Soye, the official maknae of the show! I’m so curious how she’s going to take that cause you know, as maknae you have a bit of an advantage. Everyone will be taking care of you and the fans will be melting ;w; her nicknames are so cute!! She’s even a mamamoo fan? Oh lord I wonder how she’ll react when Solar walks in to judge her. She’s a cute little rubber ducky!

 

I have noticed that you have listed a different birthday from the profile to the app, the profile page says it is December 29th, but the app says January 3rd. Which one is the correct one? I’m sorry if you’ve mentioned that to me but it’s just been so long that I don’t really remember. I’m glad that a girl this young didn’t get surgeries yet despite her being an idol. It’s way too common for these young kids to get surgeries and it can get really unhealthy as they’re still growing. I’m proud of Soye for not giving in! Her wearing baggy clothes is so cute, I can imagine her with her little twin buns, bundled in cozy baggy clothes and then you got one of the ier members next to her with their diy cropped shirt and hoop earrings… I am living for the contrast, it’s going to be amazing.

 

She still got this childish energy to her, which mnet will definitely use to put the ‘lalalala’ baby music and a blushy edit on her during the show. It reminds me of younger Woojin on p101 seasn 2. Both of the Woojins were adorable but he was like half the age of the oldest contestant and all the older guys adopted him ;;;; soye certified baby, she’s going to have 20 sets of adoption papers in her hands by the end of the show lmao. Yuyan is definitely going to teach her some things and talk to her about love, while Jongho tries to teach her curse words and bad behavior, making Yuyan cranky! The twins will be lining up in the adoption queue as well for sure. But her having no filter because of this childlike mind is troublesome for variety shows! Never let Soye speak or she will air out everyone’s dirty laundry. Her roommates and Chaewoong better be on their best behavior! Oh she’s so polite and adorable, I am also joining the adoption queue lol. Such a little ball of energy. But of course, me being the mnet of this story, I can smell a drama edit here. Imagine a girl in her group already feeling a little bit pissed, but soye doesn’t notice cause she’s so clueless, and then she makes one of her blunt comments and it is the straw that broke the camel’s back, oh DRAMA ENSUE!! Poor Soye will be a mess after that I bet… And the raging hormones on top of that, this poor child oh god… I can imagine that all the younglings got issues with this, but her being the maknae adds more pressure to it too. Too soft for this process, I 100% agree!

 

A slow, rambunctious child coming from academically gifted parents that really wanted a child just as smart as them. My heart breaks for this girl. Not them putting her into idol school thinking it will eventually tire her out so she could go study properly. Big mistake. Children do not get tired, especially not energy balls like Soye! I bet they were all pikachu surprised face when she didn’t come crawling back after months, let alone years. Nooo they even divorced?? Right in front of the kid?? That’s so cruel, screw the dad for making her feel that way!! Even though the feelings of abandonment were also a child’s anxiety, if a child ever feels that way you should work on it smh. Her hoping that her parents would come together to watch her idol performances and hoping they’d get back together oh my god im actually going to cry she is TOO SOFTTTT. They really gave her only until high school to get into the idol world? Smh, they’re giving in to the creeps that want to debut 12 year olds.

 

If she enjoys watching other idols perform live, she’s going to have a blast during the performance segments of the show. She will be hyped af for literally everyone and I love that. Her trivia are so cute, she really got the maknae energy. But poor child is going to have it hard on this show with all the drama happening… They should assemble a Soye protection squad fr. I wonder if she knows of any groups that are on the show, since she’s such an idol fan? The younglings also gotta start a homework club so the more responsible kiddos can remind the others like Soye to do it, and they can help each other!! That would be so cute oh my goodness. The seniors helping out the youngsters, some of the parental figures helping them out too… I bet Jaewook will be there to help since he’s a smart guy with shy motherly energy. I’m going to die this is too precious. We even got a pair of ex-classmates on the show ;w; its perfect. I bet no one will bully anymore after she got into this cool homework club >:c Look at me cooking. Also, what if Solar invites the rest of mamamoo to help her with training, and soye just deflates LMAO. Sometimes she really feels like a puppy, always running off somewhere and eating anything that appears in front of her, this is incredible.

 

Her and Chaewoong being like siblings is so adorable, I love this for them. Not her asking Chaewoong’s parents if they’re taking children applications LMAOOOO she truly is a unique child. Her becoming friends with Soojoo is so adorable as well ;w; But the birthday thing is confusing me again, oops. Please remind me of what the right birthday is for her! Actually, asides from Soojoo, there’s only one other 2006 liner and that’s Kyungri, also a pretty shy and emotional child. I bet these two are going to love her as well! And there’s 6 2005 liners as well to be friends with! So many cute kiddos that can do homework together ack-

 

Somehow, whenever I think of this girl performing, my brain develops an image of her doing a really fierce dance in like big platform boots LMAO she would look so cute in those. I love that she dares to challenge everyone despite her young age. She’ll be stepping up fearlessly any time they do some kind of battle, everyone would be proud. I can just imagine a song she likes coming up during a dance battle, and she runs up to the stage while dragging along both Soojoo and Kyungri who are being mega shy LOL they’re so adorable mannn D: NOOOO SHE CRIED AT THE AUDITION GOD NO way to break everyone’s hearts man :c everyone will be melting for her and giving her back rubs while she slumps back to her chair oh this child is just too precious…

 

Please remind me what the correct birthday for Soye is! But asides from that, she is all good and I really like her! She is accepted!! Thank you so much for applying again ;w;

PARK HAYAN | YYXYLOONA | ACCEPTED

 

Hi Mia!! I’m so glad to see a main app coming in from you ;w; this whole time I was wondering who the main would be, but it turned out to be the newbie, cutie Hayan! I’m so excited to get into her since she seems very unique and definitely someone mnet would put in the spotlight with her hearing issues. Are you sure that she’s a snowman, and not a ghost? With her standing in the back, pale and smiling at the camera? She could do the scare prank for the other contestants lmao. Her nicknames are so adorable though ;w; It fits her adorable looks. She is so naturally pretty as well! She a stunner fr.

 

She’s such a sweet and polite girl! I bet she always tries her best to look out for other trainees that are struggling with something. Oh she is just so precious ;;;; And how she is excited to listen to people tell their stories because she couldn’t do it before? Goddd I love her already. Oh my god the surprise stab with the reveal that her mom passed and she got ignored while mourning her??? I am scared to read her background now- oh dear… But her independence might be to her advantage on the show because she can just do what she believes is best for her without influence from like 87 other trainees. But yet she will probably be a popular girl among other trainees because of her caring personality. Her expressions will surely turn her into one of the meme queens of the show… Put her next to Jaegyu and you got guaranteed entertainment. I love that she really wants to ask many questions and is curious about other people. With so many people here, she could learn so many new things! With her having issues letting go of friends but no issues letting go of acquaintances, I can see her taking eliminations pretty well, until the one person she is mega close to gets eliminated and she shows tears for the first time oh NO im hurting myself already. And I didn’t even get to the scary background yet.

 

Oh my god noooo rip to her adorable mom. She couldn’t accomplish her dream of becoming an idol so she established a family and then she passed before being able to watch her daughter grow up… And the hearing loss for hayan, this is so sad D: I really feel for her! Jail to that drunk driver smh. And I know it is hard dealing with the loss of your partner, but this is not the way to do it, especially when you are now the sole caregiver for a child?? Her friends left her?? She had to switch schools and became mute?? Holy hell I really feel bad for Hayan… She had it so rough… It is the worst feeling for a child when they feel like they get pushed asides for a new baby… But thank the lord for the dance school for taking her in! She is such a fighter, I’m mega proud of her :’)

 

Since she is a boy group dance expert kind of, I’m curious if she knows any of the already debuted artists joining the show like 2LITE and Prism! I love that she can identify her friends based on scent. I can imagine her on a variety show smelling other contestants and being like ‘oh this one stinks a bit, this must be Yoobin’ or smth like that LMAOOO. A seungkwan stan? Taste, so much taste. He is so amazing and such a good personality! Oo143452 Jiae isn’t very nice? I may need some more tea on that ooppp im interested! Do we got a potential little villain here?

 

It's so nice that the source music ceo finally provided hearing aids and resources for Hayan. Companies aren’t nice, but this is a really nice moment ;w; It really shows that they have confidence in her skills. Sungjin is such a kind guy to her. I can imagine him having a moment when she sang for the first time and he heard that unique honey voice from her. He was proven right. It’s such a risk to debut a deaf idol indeed, so maybe its good that they put her on the show. But honestly, she is such an amazing performer so I feel like she should just debut. She’s more talented and skilled than many people that still got all their senses. I can definitely see her becoming a meme queen but also one that gets a lot of votes and encouragement from disabled people, not only hearing impaired people. She’s showing that your dream doesn’t end when a part of you is taken away and its such an inspiring message.

 

Is Hayan just your first girlie? Am I going to get more? Cause if yes, im so excited, cause I really like Hayan ;w; She’s such main character potential both with her personality and her backstory. This cutiepie is accepted for sure! Thanks so much for sticking around and applying!! It makes me really happy ;w;

HEIDI KIM | SHUSHUHUAHUA | ACCEPTED

 

Hi again Kenzie!! Time to get these two babies reviewed!! You’ve really been working hard and I am so happy that you do ;w; I’m so excited to get into ultraviolet, they seem like such a nice and fun little group. I’ve been waiting to discover more about them! Let’s get into Heidi first, shall we?

 

The first thing I thought of is that if Beam and Princess ever recruit Heidi for their 05 squad, that Beam would definitely try to call her Manse at least once to test it LMAOOO cut to him being put into an ambulance. Out of all the 05 liners he’s probably the one that’s the bravest. Also, she got such a cute round face with big cheeks, I want to squeeze them!! We stan another natural beauty, they’re all amazing ;w; I hope the show allows her to just have her natural hair for a while to heal it, but ngl, she looks good with bleached hair (her poor scalp).

 

Oh my god shes going to like try and start a chat with mc minho during her audition and the others are like shushing her and apologizing lmaoooo I love that about her! I can see that she may piss off some people with her banter, but at least she means it in a good way… right? Right..? let’s see oop- Confidence can be nice, but not when you aren’t able to deal with losses because of this. I can already smell the drama and I am EXCITEDDD!! I really feel like im mnet sometimes. Usually I love wholesome stuff but I’m constantly looking for drama while reviewing characters for this story lmao maybe I’m the villain- Jongho and Jaewook are competitive guys as well so I lowkey want them to match up for spice. I can already hear the ‘shes american’ comments from her carefree and non-judgemental personality. It’s so refreshing! But oh, there it is, the mean side c:< so the banter isn’t always in good spirit huh? Maybe the competitiveness goes too far sometimes… I love a good potential villain edit. I’m so ready for that. Hmmm so she can be rude, but when someone snaps back, her temper explodes? Girl if you read others you have to learn how to accept reads as well! She definitely has a strong personality which will definitely be refreshing for the show. I can definitely see her as a villain because the tense environment is just going to amplify her anger and rudeness. I’m rubbing my hands together rn c:< Like for sure she got a good side to her, but the bad side will probably show a lot during practice.

 

Ohhh a wannabe lawyer since she was a child? That’s so different from being an idol, makes me wonder how she ended up here. I’m surprised that she started with ballet because it is so associated with proper and polite people and she’s this loud little bratty child, but she’s the best of class, so what can I say? Lol. Heidi keeps on surprising me! She did gymnastics too? Like my Jaegyu! She just went to Korea to study in an exchange program and she never came back and was suddenly on tv?? What happened there lmao that’s so sudden!

 

I’m not surprised at all that she likes The Office. I feel like she’d spot the camera and pull off some weird stunts as well whenever she’s the focus. Heidi not following the script is going to mess so much up for mnet and I am living for it! She truly is chaotic neutral and she will be chaotic towards ANYONE. You go girl. Break those rules. She really is going to cause a mess. Once the team is in sync enough for her she just nopes off, I wonder if she would even do that when a mentor is visiting, the DRAMA! She’s going to get an earful after that lmao. She just plops down on the floor and seongwoo is like ‘what do you think you’re doing’ and she just rolls her eyes and mutters ‘whatever’, I am liviiing!! Underage smoking too? Oh lord when the netizens find that out they’re going to eat her alive (even though its so normal for a 16 year old to do so). And then if she gets late into the show, she gets a video message from her parents and SHE CRIESSS and everyone is like ‘damn she can be soft too?’. Wait she’s such a big LE fan but didn’t want up&down by exid for her first mission song? Is this some ‘I don’t want to disappoint my queen’ type stuff? Curious… Her deadass just responding with ‘ask the company’ is KILLING MEEE she is too much!! But miss girl, don’t brag too much about your gymnastics when there’s a retired national gymnast present (she’d praise you anyway lmao). Safe to say that mnet is NOT going to air this pre-show interview smlfkjdls they probably wouldn’t be happy with that at all. THE LAST COMMENT MADE ME WHEEZE!! Does she regret joining Ultraviolet?? Oh my god she is a blast.

 

At least she seems to really love her groupmates… When did she get slapped tho, spill the tea please. I love them all, they all got such distinct personalities but are somehow almost all equally unhinged. That’s what I like in a group lmfao. And of course she’s friends with Beam. I also really like that you put Koi in as a friend for him because from how you describe Koi, I’d say the same! She sounds lowkey unhinged and so is he. And he really loves dancing, so he’ll probably be having his eyes on Koi from the start (and shes pretty too, oop). Oh god she got an idol boyfriend, what a surprise! (im actually not that surprised this time). Heidi, I know you want to go public, but believe me, it’s a bad idea. You guys are definitely not old enough to go public yet sldkfjksl. Mind the netizens, girl!

 

I love how she barely even stepped foot in Korea and she was already on her way to debuting, miss girl pulled a Jiwoo in KARD. But if you expect to be rich instantly while debuting in a small company, the bubble’s going to burst real quick. Good luck getting into dept, girlie. I bet a lawyer job can help pay that off in no time though- OH HERE IS THE TEA!! She’s both so cool and foolish for standing up to her CEO and demanding a fair pay. But damn he just slapped her?? I can only imagine this in a very dramatic kdrama scene way and it's killing me. It really is so sad that they’re treating her this way. She had to act sassy to get into the group, yet they take away her most precious thing due to her being sassy. Make it make sense. No wonder this poor child got anger issues. But thank she got that secret kkt, she’s truly a queen. I love that she’s trying to portray her feelings during interviews as well, but subtly. You really put in an interesting plot point. Will she change her ways to keep afloat or will she be true to herself to the end? This is so intriguing, I love it. Her shock at the grading is simply amazing, I’m so excited to write her, seriously.

 

I really like Heidi and the spice that she brings! She is asking for a villain edit, yet she isn’t really that bad of a person, and has this lovely outgoing confident side to her. She really is going to bring a lot of drama and I’m so happy to have her! Heidi is accepted!

OH YOUNGSUN | SHUSHUHUAHUA | ACCEPTED

 

Hiya for the fourth time, Kenzie! You’re quicker at making four apps than me! Incredible! Beam, I am so sorry, you will be finished soon sldfkjdlskjgf. But Youngsun is such a cutiepie, and she’s a sunshine too? Oh I’m already in love with her. She really contrasts heavily with Heidi already and I’m literally like two sentences in- She really looks like a sweet little bunny with those big sparkly eyes.

 

Another outgoing lady! That’s so nice, Ultraviolet seems like a group that would be well liked on the show (except Heidi ofc but she is outgoing in her own way sldfkjdls). And we got another reaction queen! A little drama girlie, I can just imagine Heidi causing a fight somewhere and the camera pans to Youngsun with her eyes wide open, jaw on the floor, popcorn still on her tongue, and then she looks at the camera. I’m living for this! She’s like that squirrel meme of them turning towards the camera dramatically!! Oh my god she’s a momma of ultraviolet, that is just the cutest thing. She can be a big sister to the youngest of the younglings of the show, this is so adorable. She would definitely be the one helping everyone during housework hours and having to nag at Princess, Soye and Heidi to do their homework lmao. I can also definitely see her making a little slip-up while entering during episode 1 and it immediately turning into a meme on forums smldkfjlsml. And oh boy, I just know that if she and Heidi end up together, it will be messy because Heidi will leave when she thinks its good enough but for Heidi, being good enough is probably onky 50% of the way there for Youngsun… Do I smell some infighting? Look at me stirring up drama again- And then Heidi sheepishly comes back with a snack and hot drink for youngsun’s throat in the middle of the night and drags her to bed… In the end, they still love each other ;w;

 

Oh her determination and innocence is so cute :c and Youngsun, you made it! A skilled idol singer who could now make it big on a survival show! It makes me want to root for her, what a sweet child she is :c She loves cutesy cheesy kdramas? Why can I imagine someone snatching one of the produce laptops to watch a romcom and some of the younger girls huddle together in one of their beds, making a pillow fort and watching the drama at night… That is some cute man :c She enjoys kissing the members? And Koi accepts it? Why do I feel like she will be squinting at Beam because she thinks he will steal Koi… Youngsun, I see you lmao. She is such an absolute sweetheart, what a girl. She runs on the threadmill while singing as well? That’s how Jaewook learned how to dance and sing simultaneously as well! We stan smart bubs. Her members being her only friends makes me sad :c but no worries, she’ll gain many more on the show, and she’ll hopefully keep on seeing them in the idol world! Compared to Heidi, she is so much more positive and hopeful in her interview, youngsun, you’re such a sweet girl. I’m melting.

 

Her dynamic with Ria is so adorable, her being so admiring and up to help, but only messing things up… Youngsun, you’re a good momma, you’re doing your best, no worries sweetheart ;w; We have to assemble a thai squad to help combat their loneliness. We got quite a few thai people on the show and Ken is the oldest one, so he can be the dad skldfjsdk Wait she does NOT LIKE BEAM??? Girl, how can you not like THAT face and that cute little personality (I know its still a wip but I guarantee you that he’s a cute bean ok). I love that she is so convinced that he likes Koi and wants to steal her away smldkfjdlsm I can definitely imagine Koi and Beam becoming great friends and learning dances together, but maybe there can be a little crush developing if you’re up for it? I don’t think it’ll lead to anything though since Beam is super focused on training and is still questioning what kind of people he would actually want to end up with. But it may be an interesting tidbit to explore. But don’t worry, he'll be nice to Koi. He’ll probably be her biggest fanboy (oh my god what if he is an ultraviolet fanboy--- am I cooking?)

 

Bruh I thought you messed up this segment here because I didn’t know about any previous experience for Youngsun oh my god- I was writing down like ‘ok I get it you forgot to change this, its okay’ smldkfjdlsmkfj but damn she debuted YOUNG (poor girl). She got bullied just for existing too like wth >:c drop the @’s of the members, let me have a hand at them smh. But there is one little detail I’d like you to fix. It’s not much, but we already got an existing group called Prism on the show. If it’s alright with you, would it be possible to change their name to avoid confusion with the boy group Prism, please? That would be great. Maroo really didn’t know how to treat Youngsun huh? And so did their idols cause goddamn why did no one like this girl?? What did she do to them, outsing them? Damn! Lmao mmg just went ahead and poached her from maroo. I know the ceo is kind of a but this is a slay, give this girlie a chance with friendly people in her group! I’m so happy that she was able to ease into the group and the other members understood her and gave her time and space to warm up to them. This diet is unhinged oh my god please. Feed these children for the love of god. The Song twins, Zoren and Beam are definitely going to try and sneak food to them. They probably eat more on this show than they ever had at the company. The poor girls must be sobbing from happiness getting a steaming hot bowl of rice with veggies and meat from the genesis cafetaria (mnet is going to dramatize this). Hold up. She’s expected to carry this show to go against disbandment?? And she’s still recovering from vocal nodule surgery? Holy this is horrifying. I take back anything nice I ever said about this company (but did I ever say smth nice? I don’t think so honestly). The poor girl feeling like she has to apologise… I bet the other girls are already telling the judges about her recovering vocal chords before Chiyeol and Solar can even open their mouths to comment about the voice crack.

 

Man, you just keep em coming with these characters. Youngsun is such a sweetheart and I absolutely love her! She is accepted, but please think about changing that groupname! Thank you so much! Oh, and she better warm up to Beam >:c

WANG ZHENQI | YOONMINUTS | ACCEPTED

 

Hi, Audrey!! I’m so glad you came in and joined the show with two absolutely stunning girls ;w; I’m so excited to get into Zhenqi and Xinyi, they seem like such an interesting duo already!! I saw a lot of memes about Esther and Xiaotang back when their survival show was airing. But I didn’t actually watch the show, I ragequit youth with you 1 after they put my #1 pick outside and never let them perform on stage slmdfkjls idol producer was so amazing and then they did that ? Ok kinda unrelated rant over, let’s begin!

 

Oh boy I already spot the slytherin on the inside but Hufflepuff on the outside, I am INTRIGUED. Oh she’s a two faced spoiled princess, I’m even more intrigued now, I am so excited that people dare to actually write potential villains for this show. It’s going to be a spicy season for sure and I am so excited. But I am glad that despite the flaws and villainous energy, she is also someone that makes friends quick and is confident. I bet she loses friends just as quick though… Oh god she really is a backstabber, she would even backstab Xinyi?? Girlie, this is a survival show, not a SURVIVAL show if you know what I mean- She really is going to cause a mess on the show. I can imagine the producers ushering her behind the camera to stop doing something and she just gives them a glance before going even harder LMAO. Oh and she will always be on screen stealing attention from others… It’s going to be messyyyyy idk if netizens are going to like that c:< But girl… getting on the show for fame without wanting to work hard… That isn’t the best idea LOL get into hybe instead cause they don’t give vocal lessons to their idols anyway—too soon? Sorry- (I say that as a fearnot too, help)

 

Oh she’s from a rich foreign family… Reminds me of my kid Beam, but he actually had… parents? Oop- Poor girl never had anyone to come home to… I can see how that can influence a child to develop a flawed personality. So because of all this, she just caused a mess at school and did what she wanted. And her parents just scolded her but didn’t try anything to change it all?? That’s some bs man. And then she met Xinyi, but she originally only wanted to use Xinyi to stand on stage? And then they start dating?? Makes me wonder if she really does love her. But oh my god, a couple on a show is SCANDALOUSSS I love that!!

 

At this point I even wonder if she loves her dog slmkfjdlsmkf im too distrusting of her at this point LMAO. But deep down, she feels like a good girl, I feel bad for her :’) But she needs to learn to handle this differently. Oof she will be pissed 24/7 if she gets mad at others being better at things than her. I’m sorry girl, you gotta work hard to become good in this industry- Don’t worry, you will become famous from this show, if not notorious skldjfs. Oh and the skinship is going to cause so much trouble too, mnet is definitely going to tell her off for this but she’s just over there slapping a guy’s or smth just because he’s her friend and nothing more LOL. Producers are going to both love and hate her.

 

Oh my god Sun Honglei, didn’t he have a scandal that led to him leaving Go Fighting? I don’t remember properly but I was a big fan of early go fighting with Yixing and Show Lo (who also got into a scandal, rip). But I love the idea of having a secret couple on the show, they have to keep it hidden but can also kinda show their relationship by skinship? I wonder how Xinyi feels about Zhenqi’s shenanigans… But of course she’s the spoiled princess in the relationship, I am not surprised at all.

 

I can see Zhenqi changing her squad of people all the time on the show and it will always be the high placers. Whenever she realizes that one contestant is becoming a trend, she’s going to go to them immediately and try to grab extra votes off of their backs. And when someone suddenly drops, she won’t look at them anymore- She’s going to be that one low grade that somehow keeps getting attention and the netizens that want talented kids will get mad for sure.

 

Not Zhenqi trying to start fake drama but poor xinyi believing it so she ends up crying and then zhenqi actually gets mad OMG im deaddd! And then the talking behind their backs oh she really is going to snatch a lot of screentime with all of this mess. I’m so excited! Thank you so much for applying, Zhenqi will definitely bring a lot of spice to the story. She is accepted!

KEN ARTHIT RATANA | BERRYGOODCHAE | ACCEPTED

 

Omg hello Jeri!! I’m so happy to receive one of your guys ;w; you were one of the first ones to apply to Genesis88 and I really appreciate that you’ve stuck around for so long and blessed me with your beautiful thai boys ;w; I’m so excited to finally delve deeper into GMMTV and their wild audition, and of course our man here, Ken. Unless something changes, Ken is officially the oldest contestant on the show! Everyone applaud for dear grandfather Ken who will have to suffer old men jokes and flirts from Yuyan who is definitely also using this show to look for a husband LMAO. And Nichkhun is such a great pick for a faceclaim. I love him, he’s such a classic beauty and aging like fine wine. Despite his age, I bet he’s still going to be up there in visual rankings. Of course he’s called papa, that’s just so cute. It’s great that he’s so good at English and Thai, it’s definitely going to be a great help for many of the foreigners. My Beam will definitely go to Ken for help and ask to be adopted (just like many others, I bet!).

 

Oh we got a kind dad over here! (at least I hope so smldfkjdls) When I read that he helps underdogs, I got reminded of a guy in The unit, who was probably the best vocal of the show but sacrificed lines to give them to other contestants so they could shine. He’s going to make sure all the kids are healthy and if one ever falls sick, he will be there with hot towels and steaming soup to help them out ;w; this is some cute . Oh and the inspirational speech is so good, I can imagine him doing a very professional and inspirational speech when he gets through an elimination and half of the other trainees are proudly shedding a tear while the other half are just dying of laughter, unable to take grandpa serious. And add Minho on top of that (who I also can’t take serious at all), you get a surprisingly good combo. Having such a veteran on the show will be interesting! He actually debuted in the same year as original 2LITE so I bet that he has met Kitae as well at one point. And maybe he knows Jeonguk too, since he joined his group in 2014. Those three are like the BIG veterans of the show. By the time C-clown disbanded, the other existing idols hadn’t debuted yet. Actually, if we go off of the debut dates of c-clown and 24k (2lite’s group twin), its official that Ken is the biggest veteran by just a few months! Ohhh but I see that this is a traditional man with a bit of a temper, that might be interesting since we got some loud, non-traditional kiddos on the show who will definitely test that temper, if not unintentionally (but in some cases, definitely intentional). He’s a bit of a natural leader, like he pushes himself into the leader role even if he shouldn’t be… He could cause some clashes with this, its going to be so interesting!

 

Oh no he had a golden child in the family… These kind of stories are so sad, where one kid feels so pressured to work hard just to receive some love from his parents, something which should be a given… But his taste in kpop is so chefs kiss honestly! And then he went to Sm entertainment while his parents thought he was at Yale oh my god this is hilarious, how did he even pull that off?? He must be real smart LMAO.

 

Holy when I read the list of idols he has dated I did the biggest gasp, I don’t know why im so shook since hes so friendly and handsome but hell yeah dude get the girls (but why did they not stay?). I wonder if the other idols on the show know that he has dated a few big female idols… Or his celebrity crush on Miryo, I bet Minho could poke fun at that on the show to fluster Ken during the audition or something! Not him being afraid of disappointing Miryo oh my god he is just so cute (Yuyan you lost your chance girl).

 

His parents are lowkey even tho Ken lied to them… But seriously, he had to lie to them for a reason, which is them being ! But I am so happy that brother Gavin is such a good guy, even though he is the privileged golden child, he is so proud and happy of his brother. I do hope that Gavin gets to achieve his dreams in the future as well, im rooting for him! Oh my god I forgot that Ken was in SM at first so he even trained with Minho, this is great! It’s giving “I’ve known you since you were NOTHING!” and I live for that old friend dynamic. I bet Minho will be shocked spotting Ken in the trainee profiles during the pre-screening. He might even have a little sob moment as mentors usually do when they see friends or labelmates joining the show as trainees. And here we have the celeb crush, Miryo! He got so many girlfriends who are all top idols and yet he returns to crushing on Miryo every single time. Goddamn simp lmao. He’s going to react like all the produce 101 season 2 trainees when Hyuna came onto the show lmao.

 

When I got into kpop, c-clown was still active and I loved them a lot!! My bias was Kangjun and my favourite song was Justice. They disbanded way too quick D: and now we got Rome still successful and maknae Maru in TAN too… it’s so nice to still see some of them active. I’m very happy that all the big veteran idols have group twins that I am or was a big fan of. I’m so happy that others are still thinking about them! Oh my god not the sm dorms being filled with mice and roaches, disgustiiing! And the dorms in yedam were even worse, my god I feel for him! But I’m glad that he still got some attention. I always feel bad for those idols when people say ‘if they debuted in a big company they would’ve done well’ well don’t just sit there and do nothing! 2LITE also got a few of those in their lineup. It’s such a shame… And then they got badly managed too (but are we surprised? It’s Yedam, they cant manage a group for …). But I’m happy that GMMTV picked him up and that he got to have a career in Thailand! He finally found success, but it unfortunately wasn’t in the field that he wanted… The Ken studios thing makes me wonder… what if we got some Ken studios trainees in one of the future seasons, hmmm… If they even come lmao I am here thinking I will write many but these things take so long to do!

 

Jeri, how dare you call this guy bad! You got to be more confident in yourself, because I absolutely love Ken and think he’s amazing (you probably figured by how much I rambled lmao). I love the idea of the trainees doing a soccer match and it’s team grandpa vs team baby but Minho comes in to join and the kids are all far too starstruck and shy to actually play well and then Ken and Minho just decimate them all. Show em who’s boss, old men! I love his old man energy so much. Ken is definitely accepted!! Thank you so much for applying!

JAI SAHARAT KITTIDAMRONGCHAI | BERRYGOODCHAE | PENDING

 

Hi again, Jeri! I’m so excited to get into Jai, because out of all your thai boys, he always kinda felt like a main guy to me. Let’s see if he really is main character worthy! A pretty funny thing about him is that for the longest time, I didn’t actually realize that he is a part of into1 and thought he was just some thai actor oops— Omg they name him kitti? Catboy confirmed- How cute is that!

 

He really does seem like the king of aegyo as he is described by fans. Only people that don’t force aegyo and are naturally cute can actually get that title. He is such a friendly and outgoing guy, he will probably make lots of friends on the show! I feel like he’d get along with Beam, since they’re both thai sociable people that don’t really speak Korean well yet, maybe they can learn it together! He will catch the attention of the camera so much with his reactions and aegyo, he’s been in the spotlight for so long that he just knows how to do things. Honestly, why don’t people let others have childish tendencies if it doesn’t really harm anyone. Let people sleep with plushies… or with cuddle buddies, I don’t know, what does it matter? I’m happy to have someone here that isn’t really up to have any confrontations. There are quite a lot of fighters around so having someone that would rather just walk away is a nice change of pace (even though I like having fighters for all the drama). But I wish that he could express his concerns more. I am wondering… Where is his fakeness and sneakiness though? For now he seems a little too good to be true and I know that part of it is because he’s such a skilled celebrity, but I wish his negatives were explored more.

 

Jai was really a born star huh? He may not have gotten the best grades, but he was already in shows and commercials, and he even got on the voice kids? That’s so cool! He got an offer from starship too? I wonder if he would’ve debuted in a group like Monsta X if that happened? It’s always interesting to think about such things. But becoming a major actor in Thailand doesn’t sound so bad either!

 

He's such a clingy boy oh my god. That’s so cute… Not me just saying ‘hey being an actor doesn’t sound bad’ but then his dislikes is being stuck as an actor pfff im so sorry. And I’m surprised that he doesn’t like Wai clinging to him sometimes? I thought he would love that . Him being a Genshin player is so fun, I love that. I play the game a lot too! I love that one of his talents is just being cringe. Him picking lisa as his ideal type but it being more out of admiration is lowkey so cute. Huh, this is weird, you said he joined GMMTV at pretty young after the voice kids, but in the trivia, he dropped out of college to become a trainee? That’s quite a bit of a timeline discrepancy… Did he turn to idol training or what?

 

Not his sister watching the BL series cause she thinks Wai is cute, this is great. The way Waijai actually means to have trust in someone is so cute. But also a bit sad that Wai had to change his name just to fit another guy. Oh lord, AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES?? Oh god, this turned out to be quite of a sad story huh? The way Wai really likes his bestie, but Jai somehow wants to run away from him? But yet he still likes him… Oh my god not Boom trying to test the relationship pffff. He better be careful.

 

Wait the Gifted is the only thai drama I ever watched, I didn’t expect that to show up here. Man, of course Waijai started chasing him… It’s really sad that he has to deal with that. Maybe that’s why he wants to run despite him still liking Wai? They’re basically forced to stick together, but Jai wants to have an identity of his own… He must be a little annoyed that they let Wai tag along and this might get interesting… But hopefully, he will be able to split away from Wai at least a little and show that he is also interesting without the BL partner he is stuck with. It would be good for Wai as well, actually. Since he is still so set on being with Jai… The boy will be trying to make new friends, but then Wai comes in wanting to stay with him. Can he not take a hint? This could lead to a fiery explosion…

 

We reached the end of the review! Jai is a really interesting character, especially with him wanting to separate from Wai, but being unable to so far. But I would like you to clarify the training thing mentioned before, and expand more on his negative side so he doesn’t appear like this perfect boy with no negatives. So until those things are done, Jai is pending. Thank you so much for sending him in!

SAKATA NAGITO | J4NIC3 | ACCEPTED

 

Hiya Janice! I’m so happy that you were able to make it because these guys are seriously so iconic, and you’ve been around since before this story got revamped from Produce R 101 and I feel so honored that you have stuck around and put so much faith in me ;w; Nagito was one of the OG’s as well so im very happy to have him back, accompanied by some new absolute gems of boys sldfkjsl im going to try and go through these quickly cause I got three of em, but I can’t guarantee anything knowing my ramblings-

 

I have went through the profiles and checked, and Nagito is actually the tallest person of the whole show! And compared to him, Irisa and Princess are the smallest, being 152 cm lol. It’s pretty funny how he wears fake frames with lenses for television. I know that its probably a screen and lighting thing, it feels so weird? Like it’s a double inconvenience- But I mean it is part of his charm. I cant wait to see him with his shirt tucked into his sweatpants while training and the others poke fun at him cause he looks like a grandpa LMAO.

 

Not him being no thoughts, head empty, I love that so much (and wbk honestly-). Wait he grew up with stress? Sudden lore drop much?? Holy ok now im worried for the poor guy- He really does give off smart nerd vibe at first… I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Man, hes an overthinker and a social introvert, no wonder his life is so tiring… I have those things too and it really can be exhausting. Wow, this boy has so much more depth than the goofy lil guy that he is made out to be and im lowkey surprised like what did you do to himmmm bruh. Did I just forget about all this? Lmao. I hope that the other trainees can provide help and care for him D: Boy, you don’t always have to be a goofy moodmaker, you just have to be yourself :c I really feel for this guy, it really feels like he got pressured a lot in his childhood and he had a hard time breaking away from it… It's so sad that he felt like he had to hide his fanboy side towards his family and friends to keep up that model student persona… This poor boy really had a whole path paved for him the moment he was conceived and he had a hard time breaking away from it, but im glad to see that he actually managed to do it ;w; I cant wait to see the rest of the story!

 

He doesn’t like messy environments? Let’s pray for him in the dorms lmao its bound to get messy (unless he rooms with Jaewook, who is extremely tidy and well-scented). He’s going to have such a hard time on this show cause not only will it be dirty as hell, there are also a few real intimidating peeps- Like Kitae, for example (even though he is handsome as hell-). What if they got like a timeslot to eat and he never finishes in time lmao- If he plays Lol, I wonder if he has followed the scene and knows of Jaewook and Jungil? Well Jungil wasn’t around for long so he is pretty unknown but Jaewook was one of the main pillars of the Korean scene during his time. He’s never dated despite being popular, and got nervous around girls? Why is that lowkey so cute- Here, so many girls will be around him and he’ll have to work with them, good luck my dude lmao.

 

The fact that they are revealing their faces for the very first time for Genesis88 is so interesting. I wonder how the fans would react upon seeing the pictures revealed and how long it actually took them to connect the dots skdfhdjsl I bet theyre all going insane over it, but I feel like some mean netizens might say ‘theres a reason why they hid their faces’ or smth like that… :/ But I don’t agree with them. It will be a huge adjustment for the boys too since they basically lost their veil of anonymity and extra freedom that came with it. Them taking off their masks and nagi quickly puts on his glasses… I can see mnet zooming in on that and adding a cute sound effect LMAO. And then they fly off at the end- I’m keeping that idea in, it has to happen!

 

I still love this guy sm, he’s so sweet but got a surprising depth to him. I’m so happy to have him! He’s accepted! Just make sure to complete the app in the next few weeks if possible, so that I know everything by the time episode 1 is hopefully ready to air.

WATANABE YUUKI | J4NIC3 | ACCEPTED

 

Hiya Janice! (2) it’s time to delve right into the handsome dad (literally) of the show! I just realized that we got a weird situation in our hands, because the fact that he’s a dad is supposed to be hidden to the voters if this was a real show, but here, all the voters that check out his profile and check him out will know that he is actually a father, so that might change the perception people have on him. Lol their fandom name is Antholics? That lowkey sounds bad LMAO im thinking of alcoholics here- oop- theyre drunk from the love they get from Anthos LMAOOO I haven’t even started on his app yet and it is already a mess. Pfff he really got that ikemen face. I can see them doing the entrance and the KQ girls just decide to start yelling ikemen at the guys slkdfjslfjg. They’re just bold like that (I mean theyre led by yuyan, then you automatically become bold-).

 

Oh god he used to be the class clown that would make people facepalm- Why am I both so surprised and totally not lmao. He was just rambling on and on about the dumbest LMAO. Ofc he was popular, like im not surprised at all, but he was loyal to just one girlie, that’s so adorable ack- And then he made the switch once he moved to Australia? That’s wild. And then he became even softer once he became a dad, that’s so sweet. He really grew up well. And him being the devil’s advocate… I can see him stir the pot in some drama, I bet mnet would love that.

 

Wow his background is eerily similar to an Omega X song- I’m kidding slkjfhdkls. I’m looking forward to learning more about him in the future! Oh, I think we found a buddy for Jaewook (the cleaning coming up again LMAO). I really think they would get along well, Jaewook is a sweet and shy motherly guy- they could easily take charge of a team together (beautiful beautiful team perhaps?). Oh god he’s a snorer, good luck to everyone around him slmdfkjdlsm no one will want to room with him. Man him looking for secret date locations omg can I be his wife instead- Him not wanting to be the leader- pfff if he gets into team beautiful beautiful with jaewook, it might actually happen… we’ll see about all this once the teams get formed. I can only do that after all the A class are known.

 

I really love his deep voice and always think idol groups have a bit of an extra charm when they have a variety of ranges and voice types. Like for example, tri.be got three girls that can really go into the lower ranges, and it really gives so much more depth to their songs. Groups are the best when you can tell apart their voices without having to be an expert. And im returning to his potential participation in team beautiful beautiful again, it would really be cool in the acapella part if he could carry the lower ranges together with (potentially) Jongho, who can also go quite low. Man let’s pray that they can all end up together slmdfkjsl but we cant see that yet. Damn I wonder if his family life will be released to the public, or if their management will be able to work hard enough to keep it hidden… What if it’s released, and his wife comes for a visit in the reunion instead of his parents- Originally, that would’ve happened to my previous character, but alas, he had to be replaced, and Jongho is not a dad sldkfjkslm.

 

Ok I love this man (are we surprised?), I am such a simp. He is for sure accepted! He’s going to be an interesting addition to the show for sure.

GOTO TSUBASA | J4NIC3 | ACCEPTED

 

Hiya Janice! (3) It is time to finish this off and get into the attention stealer! I honestly thought he was cute but didn’t pay much attention initially, but Tsubasa has grown onto me so much and I am glad that hes catching the attention of others as well with that absolutely amazing intro vid. Let’s hope that he can carry on that momentum into the show and gain some good votes ;w; He is such an interesting appearance, he’s surely going to be one that will be remembered easily. I love his cute little face, I just want to squish those cheeks. I love that little :< face of his so much skdfsjkfgf. His fashion style changing is a part of the normal guy to idol glowup so many contestants get sldfjkslm. I’m so ready.

 

He starts out being a black hole, a dark and cold shut-in. But once people uncover the core, he turns out to be a star, not the brightest one, but he’s like a white dwarf star! NOOOO HE GOT A DARK BACK STORY NOOO DON’T DO THIS TO ME PLEASE!! And I cant even see it now oh my god- this is MEEEAAAN! I really admire his determination to keep fighting though! Even if that determination is powered by anger… God I’m literally just in the personality and not even in the background yet and I feel like im already going to cry- I really didn’t expect to be taken on an emotional roller coaster today- No seriously I’m in tears why are you doing this to me and I DON’T EVEN HAVE THE BACKGROUND!! I feel like he’s going to make many people cry- I really hope he gets to find some comfort on this show and after, with so many people around him who will love him (yuyan is already making a care package). Seriously I am so sad over this poor boy, I just thought he’d be a silly little guy! D:

 

Don’t worry Tsubasa, you will be flooded with words of praise. Of course he’s a nerd too, I’m reall not surprised. But I am surprised about him being scared of horror houses… Since he feels like he’d be a scare actor in one- HE GOT ILL TREATED BY HIS FAMILY? BECAUSE HE WAS CHUBBY? I swear im going to fight his parents and I don’t even know the full story- Not him saying ‘my vocals are decent… I hope’ when I think that this mfer is one of the best vocalists of the whole show- And then he just switches to flexing… This guy smh. His interview is the worst my god. I went from crying to laughing- And not him being tsundere towards the leader and center roles.

 

I love their little avatar showcases, they all strangely fit their character so well, I wonder what the others look like :0 is Jinhee’s avatar a tiny rascal? I bet Eunhyung’s has real princely long hair and Jun’s is either the smallest or mega tall lmao. Man, this guy deals with so much yet he it up and keeps going, he is SO POWERFUL! I’m so proud of him. He got so much spirit, even if he doesn’t want to show it. Man I love his choice for voodoo doll, it really fits the vibe he wants to portray, and he could be a great fit for Ken’s lines. And latin pop too, I know what that song is and its going to be great if he makes it to that part!

 

I honestly didn’t expect Tsubasa to become one of the attention points either but honestly with such wild behavior, that wild intro video and that monstrous voice of his, ofc he’s going to get attention! Lately, he has even been challenging Yuuki for my personal Anthos bias spot- slmdkfjlsm And then the glowup comes in as well like damnnn. I’m so scared to get his story, but also so ready to learn more about him! He is of course also accepted!

LEE YOOBIN | YYXYLOONA | ACCEPTED

 

Hi again Mia!! I’m so excited to receive Yoobin, he’s such a little cutie ;w; I like how his faceclaim is mostly in a group that does powerful and badass concepts yet he has this cuteness to him- I think Minhee is the same way, who happened to come in right after your app lol- They can be team cute together and make all the hearts flutter. Omg he is a mom- I didn’t expect that at all but I love that about him. And Piplup is one of my favourite pokemon oh my god you’re making me want to vote for him—so charming.

 

He's a sassy extravert, I love that. He’s going to get so many new friends on the show and thrive in the social environment. Oh hes so adorable, living in his own world. No butts are safe when he’s in the room LMAO. But he could actually be a good leader, surprisingly! He got so much puppy energy, being this wild, loyal and loud kid ah I love it. Oh god he’s going to cry during eliminations, isn’t he? Even if he isn’t the one getting eliminated- He’s just going to cry period. And then a friend dangles a snack in front of his eyes and he’s all good.

 

He got 4 older sisters, I lowkey feel for this boy- But I bet he has learned how to treat women growing up with so many around them. He really grew up in a music loving family. I bet it was never quiet in the house- It’s such a cute little family, and im happy to have someone with a good and supportive fam after getting some… dark characters recently lol.

 

Nah the gassy dislike killed me, this is so uncalled for helppp. I can imagine this guy going up to one of the active idols on the show and just going ‘hey so I was feeling energetic last night and learned a few of your choreos, do you wanna see?’ and theyre all like ‘WHEN DO YOU SLEEP’. He had many girlfriends? I hope not at the same time- Yoobin I’m watching you! We need a moment of him in the dorm straightening his roommates’ hair before they go out… And when they get a surprise wakeup of ‘you have to be there in 10 minutes’ the poor boy is suffering cause his iron hasn’t even heated up yet and he already has to leave, and then he sees all those birds nests… RIP Yoobin’s sanity. Oh the quotes are already giving me messy and sass, I love that so much. He’s going to be a riot on the show.

 

Oh my god Niki is his arch nemesis- Honestly based cause me and literally all of my friends do not trust this guy- Wait he’s even planning on dating during the show like Yoobin I swear to god- He’s giving Yuyan a run for her money slmdfjksl. Oh he joined i-land? I didn’t know that yet, that’s interesting (mostly because im literally watching i-land 2 while writing this lol). It’s such a shame that he didn’t make it, but maybe this time, it’s his turn to debut? We shall see if he catches the eye of the audience. Not him dating someone new on the show each week- He got lots of ladies to pick from at least but I feel like at one point they will all just walk away from him, knowing his shenanigans sldfkjhjslmf. What a messy guy istg.

 

Him having beef with someone else just because he feels threatened is so funny. I shall look for another very skilled dancer to become the target of this sldfjklsf. And him having an ex on the show perhaps? That’s wild… Maybe I could ask around if someone would like to take up that role. Overall, this guy is so interesting, messy and fun, but so cute as well. I really like him! Thank you so much for applying ;w; He is of course accepted.

KIM MINHEE | YOUNGANDMENACE | ACCEPTED

 

Hey Neleeee! I’m so excited to finally have one of your precious lil babies! And its Minhee, my precious little boy ah I love him sm. I think Doyum is such a cute guy, he got a very recogniseable face and hes so smol ;w; His nickname being dumdum oh Minhee you poor child sldkfjlsm. We stan the ace representation, and its lowkey funny because I just associated him with Yoobin and Yoobin got like 514 exes and Minhee just doesn’t care.

 

Minhee the shy cheerleader of the show, how cute is that?? He’s just so excited for everyone but his shyness stops him from going insane sldfjks. He’s such a precious bean ack- I honestly thought he’d be a popular kid with his cuteness but he’s so shy that it might stop him. But he’ll probably get adopted by an extravert who drags him along everywhere and makes him a popular kiddo. But despite his shyness, he is the reaction king of the show (as expected from you, you always make the reaction peeps lskdjfls). He really needs some support from other people around him :c He is such a precious child D: But at least he lived his best dumb boy life and he doesn’t have anything dark going on-

 

He called Psy his dad by accident?? God he is so cute please! And him forgetting other contestants’ names, they will be so hurt slmdkfjdlsm but the poor child is trying you know. Him mostly wanting to make more friends on the show is just the cutest thing :c why is he so preciousssss. I just want to hug him and give him a kith on the forehead yk.

 

I hope that he will really get his chance to show himself on the show despite his shyness, and that he gets lots of praise so he can feel content ;w; Sohyun will be like ‘look at my children, aren’t they great?’ slkdfjlsldfkj. I’m lowkey surprised that he picked EDM but if he gets into that team it would be super cool so he can show his cooler side.

 

Don’t worry about making me wait like you’re still in time with this adorable lil guy! I’m just happy that you managed to finish him in the end ;w; I’m sorry if this review is a bit short but there’s a lot of em to go through and I expect even more to come. He is so cute, I absolutely love him and want him to succeed. Minhee is accepted!

RHEE JIHAE | MEOWZWRITES | ACCEPTED

 

Hi Eli! I’m so happy that you made it, I’m a big simp for Chaewon and Jihae is such an eye catching girl, she’s definitely going to get attention because of her extensive survival show history. Like sometimes people are already surprised when its someone’s third survival show, but this girl is onto her 5th? Like damn, is it being unlucky? Desperation? Poor girl sldfkhdjls but at least she should know all of the show right? She’s going to have a lot of 4th wall breaking moments lol. Omg another ace! Two ace people in a row, I’m living, it’s such nice representation.

 

Man she’s such a nice girl. She’s so sweet and caring towards the others, and she’d probably give up good parts if other contestants want them too ;;;; And every time she has to go into a performance she gives a lil speech for her team to give them all extra energy and courage… She will definitely make loads of friends on the show and be one of the pillars to rely on. But someone goes against a different trainee and oh boy then she will get involved! I can definitely see her becoming a leader and/or center in one of the team missions. She gives off good leader energy, one that would work really hard and be strict but loving towards everyone. Man why can’t RBW just debut her like if she is this good then why didn’t she debut in purple kiss- Then she would be released from the grasp of the survival shows, finally.

 

You think she’s going to be ranked within the top 15 of the show? I mean, that’s going to be up to the other readers, not just me lol. I’m just one of the voters and so are you smldfjkls. We can’t predict anything so far! I like that there’s no one that really is like ‘oh yeah theyre debuting 100%’ after the show hasn’t even begun yet because there’s always people like that in real shows but with this, you can’t expect anything. My god, Clarabelle is really causing a mess on the show huh lmao. Jihae is just trying to be good and belle next to her is just messing everything up and its lowkey funny. But it rubs off on Jihae and now people are like NOOO OUR INNOCENT LITTLE JIHAE while she never probably was innocent- Leave them aloneeee let them do their thing smh.

 

I think Jihae is so cute and sweet and would definitely be pushed forward in a real show because of her extensive survival show history. But yet, she got her haters and gets criticized at every point. Because of these survival shows, there’s so much pressure on her and people have higher expectations. I wonder how she’d handle that… Thank you so much for sending her in! Jihae is accepted!

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Tsubasa :<
LOL it's like a mixture of :3 and :< LMAO I dunno how to describe it but it is certainly cute.....strangely cute. 😂

🤭🤭🤭 sorry, I have a tendency to always include some background angst in most of my characters R.I.P. I think my inner psychology nerd shows.......too much. xD
But dw it's nothing too extreme for Tsubasa; yes the fatshaming he grew up all his life (sadly common in Asian countries anyway orz) is a large part of his history tbh, which turned him into a social recluse for a long time (there, that's his background in a nutshell. /shot)

I SWEAR I NEVER PLANNED TSUBASA ON BEING THIS EMO cause he was originally meant to be purely just comic relief for PD101 in K&D 💀 But I was lowkey trying to fit him for his purple character he represents in Anthos orz
(but also, I think his faceclaim IshiKai was also like this in the past too, I can't remember orz)

LOL ummm.....I was actually struggling to find more than 2 fears for Tsubasa so I just added horror houses in just to fill it up 🗿 It would make sense if he plays too many horror video games (+ I would imagine, he's also extremely loud when he games LMFAO) so just to get some thrill out of it, he plays.....to the point that he scares himself (+ lowkey enjoys it???)
But actually now that you mentioned it, when it comes to scaring OTHER people, oh Tsubasa for sure would be relentless haha. I think some of the weird faces he can make is lowkey horror genre too lmfao.

HE'S SUCH A TSUN OMG. Yeah. Omg you think he's one of the best vocalists out of the cast? 😭😭 BRUUUH I was trying so hard not to pick too many overpowered talent twins by deliberately choosing just voice actors rather than actual idol singers but oops.......that didn't work. 🙈

AH their avatars. Actually their representative colours correspond to their character role in the original Anthos! So Jinhee is Mahiro (red), Jun is Haruta (orange, both the shortest in the group too), and actually Eunhyung is Setsuna (the white member who got added to the group later) rather than the pretty long-haired blond Chise (yellow) who Sungjin represents. I know visually this one is a bit questionable but I was also trying to match the boys up by their voices in the original Anthos too 🫣 (cuz Chise, even though in 2D he is the pretty visual, but his voice is on the deep end compared to Setsuna's higher pretty vocals)

^ Also lore drop for Eunhyung (in case I cannot make an actual app for him), but the reason why he was added to the group later on was that AMG already had plans to eventually show Anthos' faces to the public, so Eunhyung was added as the entire visual/talent package. That's why competitive Jinhee has so much beef against him 😭

OMG TSUBASA TAKING KEN'S PART IN VOODOO DOLL???? YES PLZ. I'm curious about the Latin pop song cause omfg I'm a er for that genre personally......><

Oh man. Yeah both you and I are shocked for sure about Tsubasa's sudden climb up bahaha. Good luck trying to find a bias hhhhh

Chapter 5:
ONTO YUUKI NOW (I'm breaking up my comment in 3 parts cause I'm worried there's a word limit lel)

Would knowing he is an actual father change people's perception that much? I can't tell anymore ahaha I wonder what the readers think 😂

YES ANTHOS FANS ARE CALLED ANTHOLICS. It does sound bad at first (💀) but the way you word it, it actually makes sense too LOL. Antholic *is* actually the official fandom name for real life Anthos—they have a song dedicated to their fans with this exact title (but this was during their OT6 era before they became 7 members)

https://youtu.be/keOmmicD1cw?si=MxYTgtISfavmba8M

I think in Gen88 Anthos, the only members who truly do match standard idol visuals are Yuuki & Eunhyung tbh...(Eunhyung's reluctance to unmask leading up to Gen88 is quite literally because his visuals are TOO powerful; he doesn't want people to focus on him for his face only). It would be so funny if the girls go gaga over them once they do the reveal lol.

To elaborate, yeah Yuuki is definitely someone who doesn't mind some drama (as long as it doesn't involve himself or his family >.>), sometimes he gets bored mentally so he *will* say something offhandedly just to get the ball rolling......cuz he's a little shet like that 💩

OMG his snoring is not THAT severe bahahaha (I mean, if even his wife could put up with it.....) but I think given his voice is so deep, I guess even his soft snores could scare some people off lolol. Looking for date places 😭😭 he really is the sweetest hubby omfg I made him too much my own prince charming HAHAHA. HE JUST NEEDS TO STOP BEING (occasionally) CRINGE AND FLIRTY ALL THE TIME AAAAA.

He can beatbox and do low harmonies. Beautiful Beautiful acapella omg I'm DYING I NEED IT IN MY LIFE. (actually his voice talent is also part of a seiyuu acapella project too and iirc he was doing beatbox >.>)
Yes indeed I deliberately made Anthos to be a group full of unique talented vocals (after all, they only had their voices to rely on during the first few years of their debut before Gen88 happened haha)
I NEED TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT TRI.BE CAUSE AYO??? I LOVE DEEP VOICE GIRLS TOO OMFG.

Oooo that reunion scene.....depends how the public reacts if his family life does get leaked. >< But typically by J-celeb standards they would often keep their family private, *especially* their kids they would censor their faces if they post pics/vids of them on SNS.

Thanks for accepting him u w u Tsubasa next~

Chapter 5: Hiiii I'm back hahaha omfg thank you SO much for such quick reviews?! TBH I really rushed Yuuki's + even more so for Tsubasa cause I was just so desperate to churn them out ahaha (I'm tempted to make another app for at LEAST one of the Korean boys but I dunno if I have time or emotional space to even make another whole background for a 4th boy orz)

First of all, NAGITO'S THE TALLEST IN THE SHOW NOW??? I thought you or someone else had someone who was 190cm+ but I guess he got scrapped :'D Omggg I think Nagi's gonna be sooo self-conscious about his height lmao (fun fact, I actually based Nagi's height + his history with it off another Japanese voice actor Eguchi Takuya, who is also a megane boi like Nagi too 😂)

THE GLASSES THING LMAO YES. We absolutely need to have his flying glasses featured too (basically what happened to ProducePandas' Husky during his solo fancam on Youth With You 3 lololol, yes I took some inspiration for Nagi from my ProducePandas bias too lol)

I'm amused you're reading Nagito's background like it's your first time lololol cause actually it's the same background from PD101—he definitely grew up with a lot of stress 🥲 But K&D and Anthos have different debut years (for Anthos his audition was actually right after his high school graduation rather than *during* high school like K&D) so this is just the part I need to rewrite about.

Yeah. Nagito's a Virgo after all—HE NEEDS TO BE CLEAN LOL. By the sounds of things, he would appreciate Jaewook SOOOO much! Kitae huh....I think Nagi might be starstruck by his appearance but also, intimidated indeed >< R.I.P NAGI IF THERE'S ACTUALLY A TIME LIMIT TO HOW LONG THEY CAN EAT OMFG. Boy's gonna be soo malnutritioned 😫 I think if Jaewook's such a major figure in the LoL community, Nagi would know him as well omg (same thing as Yuuki & definitely Tsubasa, and tbh probably the majority of Anthos minus Eunhyung who's the only one disinterested in video games lol). Fanboy moment again????

EEEEEE yes absolutely the netizens will always have to say about their face reveals, that comment is exactly spot on unfortunately 💀 Most likely a lot of mixed reactions so far, but sorta like how ProducePandas (yes I'm referencing them again orz I love them) goes against typical idol standards by being marketed as China's first "plus-sized boyband" yet they all have impressive vocal/dance talent, they will also gain respect from other fans too, new or old.

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Omg I'm slowly catching up and immediately nyOOMED at my boys here omfg THERE'S SO MUCH CONTENT I'M SCREAMING

But also, omg I spot another Australian boi Adrien hello 👀
And damn.....Youngmin & Ryuwon were intense lmao. Celine & Jongho too, but in a more chaotic way.......lel xD

Anyway, LMFAOOOO KitaJun and his eyebrows xDD Love his retorts with Boom.
The towers Namshin & Nagiiiiii~ OMG WHY DID NAGITO PUT THE PAN OH HIS HEAD LMAO THIS DORK. That kinda deadpan humour is exactly what I would've expected from Tsubasa instead........oh geez Tsubasa's influence on his kouhais is getting too real now aaaaa 🫣🫣🫣
PAPA YUUKI OMFG I LEGIT SCREAMED OUT LOUD AT HIS INTERACTION WITH SOOJOO STAAAAAWP OTL ASDAKJHFGBSL THE DAD IS SERIOUSLY COMING OUT.
And bruuuuh........Tsubasa's words when he won........💀😭 Sudden lore drop much? HAHA. The way he's trying SO hard to be in character 😭😭😭😭 I'm laughing at how much you've emphasised on his cuteness here cause I reeeeally did not create him with that sorta image in mind at first but it actually works out, Tsubasa being the king of gap moe teehee cx

Lastly.......R.I.P box. It has sacrificed a lot for this show huh......^^;;
I sense some beef between Wai & Jeonguk too.........👀

Chapter 11: wow i actually feel bad for the directors for putting up with so much chaos HAHAHA thank you for putting akiko with such a bright partner like jihae! that was so cute to read i think i might need to chug some water to balance out the sugar

also if i may make a tiny suggestion? the combo of white text + dark background makes me eyes hurt, especially in such large chunks, so it would really help if you split the text into more lines/paragraphs. granted, just a suggestion, so you don't have to take it at all ^^
