Produce 101 (Half - Rant)

Do you guys watch Produce 101?

At first i was skeptical of the whole thing because it had soo many girls competiting for a spot in this girl group that won't even be permanent; they would only promote for like.. 4 months. Plus it was 100% purely based on viewer's vote on who gets to debut in that eleven member girl group, and that's not so good considering the fact that it will completely be a popularity vote and the skilled ones could be left out..

But i watched it anyway to see what it's like and after the first episode, 

man, IT IS SO FUN TO WATCH.

I couldn't take my eyes off it the entire time and these 101 girls (i think 98 now since 3 of them left before it started) because each of them have their own charms although some of them really at singing and dancing. 

It was kind of harsh to see that there was a class system from A~F, it's really going to damage their confidence and all that stuff.. But honestly, there were some things i felt a little.. dissatisfied with.

First, is Jeon So-Mi.

I find it a little ridiculous that she is first place right now, because i know this girl is kind of bad at singing. She's not bad, yes, but to be in a competition where everything's fighting for their life, she's getting such an easy ride because she's from JYP. Sure she's from Sixteen so she has more popularity and people would argue that it's also a skill to get into JYP and that she's in the company because she was good enough. But can you still say the same when you compare her to people like Kim Se-Jung and Kim Joo-na in the competition? 

I'm not sure what you guys think about her, but i know for me she isn't good enough and it's honestly not fair that she's taking away the spot of someone else who is more skilled. She's only 15, and you have to admit she isn't good enough. There's a reason why she didn't make it into Twice. 

People say that this show and Sixteen was just promotion for her, but no. If Somi was sure she would debut, why would she even be on those survival programs in the first place? There is no such thing as a definite result in the Korean Industry, and i know that because i have relatives working in there. 

 

Also, Kim Joo-na.

Many people say that she revealed that Kim Soo-hyun was her half brother just to get attention? If you watched the actual broadcast you will see that she applied for Produce 101 WAY BEFORE it was revealed that she was his half sister. And she clearly stated that she didn't want her family history to be revealed, and that on the day her appearance on the show was confirmed, the articles broke loose. I hate how people hate on her, you guys are ignorant because you don't know the full story. 

She's probably one of the most talented singers on the program along with Kim Se-Jung and etc. 

Just listen to her, she could debut as a solo singer already. 

 

 

I think for me, after watching the most recent episode, i know i can't decide for sure because it's only the second episode, there were a few girls that i liked.

There are two girls that i like the most so far, and they are Kim So-hye and Choi Yoo-Jung.

 

(Kim So Hye)

 

(Choi Yoo-Jung)

 

I know that Kim So-hye is REALLY bad at singing but that is because she is originally an actor trainee and she thought this program would also be another chance for her. I don't know, but the first moment i saw her i knew that she would be one of my favorites in the competetion. Yoo-Jung is the one that i really like also, because she tries really hard. If you saw the Pick me performance where they were on those triangle stages, you'll see that she was in the front center. 

She's really adorable and she tries really hard, and her personality was something that i could kind of relate to as well.

 

 

I'm also starting to like Kang Mina from Jellyfish entertainment. She is such a cute bright girl and she makes me really happy when i look at her haha it's like she's the Vitamin C. 

 

If you guys watch, who do you guys support?

this tho
some of my favs are sejung, sohye, yoojung, mina etc
and i'm really not rooting for somi bc she seems unfit to become a singer/idol
well, judging from her pick me evaluation it kinda looked as if she doesn't find joy in performing
and i'm scared of letting my feelings for her out bc her fans are really savage
so ty for your sane and unbiased mind towards her

honestly i didn't ever pay too much attention to the kim soohyun and half-sister controversy so i don't have much to say in regards to the details... but if kim soohyun was uncomfortable with it, then isn't she the one to be blamed in the end???? like poor girl but if she really didn't want family history mentioned, especially if it's something so sensitive, she shouldn't have talked about it at all???? and whichever way it goes, kim soohyun's waaay up there in the industry rn and whatever she does involving his name will just look like she's trying to sell him for fame anyway. just my opinion tho.......

I swear – Korean high school uniforms are so pretty.

And the people who bashed Kim Joo-Na obviously don't know the full story, yes, and they're so quick to just when they don't want to be judged themselves. She's absolutely stunning and she has a really powerful voice!

Kim So Hye is adorable ;^; I haven't watched "Produce 101" at all but all the girls that you mentioned seem super talented unlike me, haha.

Lol I started watching this too, even though I promised myself I wouldn't bc there are so many girls and I don't want to get too attached to any of them. I originally started since I knew Somi from Sixteen (she's really improved since then), but Yoon Seohyeon really caught my attention, and so did Kim Joona. I'm curious about how this will turn out.
