Hmm… it's nice to see them making an effort to promote Kpop culture I guess? It may not turn out as nice as it's thought it would, but maybe everybody should just give it a chance. I actually wish instead of kpop-inspired, it would be full-on kpop, but I'll take what I get. Hope it doesn't disappoint too much.

I actually watched the teaser/trailer/ whatever you call it, and I think it's still okay. Just a bit better than cringe-worthy, but okay.

I THINK IT'LL BE NICE TO WATCH. WE NEED SOMETHING NEW ON NICKELODEON ANYWAYS, I MEAN THEY TOOK ICARLY & VICTORIOUS OFF OF THE AIR SO THIS IS KINDA REFRESHING TO WATCH. I HOPE THERE WILL BE K-POP INVOLVED IN THE SHOW IF NICK CANNON IS TRYING TO BRING K-POP TO AMERICAN T.V. AND THIS MIGHT BE A BIT OF A STRETCH BUT I WOULD LOVE IT IF THEY BROUGHT ACTUAL K-POP STARS TO THE SHOW LIKE CL OR JAY PARK OR KEY FROM SHINEE OR NICHKUN FROM 2PM OR AILEE(SORRY, I WAS THINKING OF ENGLISH SPEAKERS!. LOL). I DON'T KNOW HOWIT'S GONNA TURN OUT BUT ALL WE CAN DO IS WATCH & SEE. 'MAKE IT POP'.....HWAITING!!!!!. <3
