Hey guys! I actually wanted to write about this since a while now, but I held myself back since I wanted to watch the latest ep in order to know more trainees. So, this is going to be the list of the trainees that I think will be the ideal lineup for IOI ver 2.0(we dont know the group name yet)

1. Kim Samuel a.k.a Punch (Brave Ent.) - This kid is not my bias but I put him first since he was the first trainee receiving an A grade during the first evaluation. I can say that he left quite an impression when he sounded stable singing while dancing. On top of that, he is a young contestant and many international fans(including myself) are rooting for him to debut. I think he will be in the dancer line once he debut. 

2. Ong Seongwoo (Fantagio) - Fantagio surely has good eyes on picking trainees. During the evaluation ep, this guy made the judges shook with his actor-like visual. He did great on the performance that he practiced and people were mesmerized by his powerful poppin' dance when they asked him to do freestyled dance. Up till ep3, he managed to secure his position being ranked #4 based on live voting. It's no wonder that Fantagio sends him alone to this program this time.This guy is my bias so I would be very sad if he could not make it. 

3. Hwang Minhyun (Pledis) - I'm not a Nuest fan before, but since 4 of them participated in the show, I can see that they're very talented. Each of them shine in their own way. I think that at least there'll be two of them in the top11. Minhyun did an amazing job by forming a very strong group to the point that every other groups avoided to go against them for the team battle. He got years of experience being an idol so it's no wonder that his performance on ep4 is great.

4. Kang Daniel (MMO) - It's easy to recognize him. He's the trainee with the pink hair. Daniel is an all-rounder performer I think. His dancing is good, he is a rapper and he can sing. He went from B to A level during the re-evealuation. Not many notice this, but I kinda see the leader vibe in him when he volunteered to lead the B graders to dance to Nayana(Pick Me) when they first got the song. It will be a pity to not have him in the final lineup.

5. Lee Daehwi (Brand New Music) - Many knows him before the show started since he was the center for Nayana. It's really good to see a young, all-rounder trainee like him being the center. I guess he deserves that title. Although I don't really like his attitude, I still can't ignore the fact that this boy already secured his place in top11 since he gained a lot of attention(it's Knetz who will determine the top11 anyway). 

6. Takada Kenta (Star Road) - He's gaining attention after he became the center for Be Mine Team 2. I heard that he used to be in a team that do covers of kpop dance in Japan. It's no wonder that he dances so well. 

7. Park Woodam (I dont know his company name) - He stole the spotlight and received the most live votes on ep4 after he did seventeen seungkwan's and dk's diva high note part when his team performed mansae. Up till now, he is the best vocalist among all the trainees in my opinion. It will be a shame to not have him in the final lineup.

8. Kim Jaehwan/Choi Dongha (both individual trainees) - Another addition for vocal line. Their dancing are not strong, but it's not like they can't dance at all. I can't choose between these two so I decided to put them together like this. 

9. Kim Jonghyun a.k.a JR (Pledis) - Another Nuest member. We fans give him nickname 'National Leader'. He really is the leader material. I admire him so much after he led his teammates for their Suju Sorry Sorry performance. Even when the teacher asked him on why was one of his teammates didn't do well, he said that it was because he didn't do his job as the leader properly and he kept on putting trust in s. 

10. Park Jihoon a.k.a Wink Boy (Maroo ent.) - I dont know much about this boy but it seems like he is going to debut since Knetz love him so much. Oh, and Mnet also. He will be in visual line I think with that pretty face of his. He's not bad since he is in B rank.

11. Lai Guanlin (Cube ent) - Ever since evaluation day, he caught the attention of many although he and his friend, Yoo Seonho, just do the basic dance. They explained that they've just been trained for six months and went to the show to learn. I guess even cube didnt know that these two will be so popular. I choose Guanlin since it will be good for IOI ver 2.0 to have a member that can speak Chinese and English. Besides, many were impressed with his voice when he rapped and since he improved so much in the show, I guess he is a great choice for fans to vote not only because of his good looks. 

What are your thoughts? Have you watched the show?
