Produce 101 China (创造 101)

(I really like this picture I think this is probably their only full squad fun shot~)

Basically I am a sucker for project group survival shows (again) 😂

But this is the legal Chinese version. It's been a while since I watched any Chinese shows habitually but when I do now, it's derived from the Korean version. 
I watched a bit of Idol Producer. But one problem with that show (other than them not buying the rights from Mnet but they somehow didn't get sued ggwp): I only watched Idol Producer for Zhou Jieqiong and Cheng Xiao (both from Kpop girl groups that I like so it's quite obvious why I came). I just didn't feel very attached to the actual contestants in Idol Producer. I swear it's not my girlgroup bias because I watched Produce 101 Season 2 just fine, still like Wanna One and Ong is still my bae! I may write about the first two Korean P101 seasons + the upcoming P48 in the future if I feel like it.
For now, I will focus on 创造 101. I will mainly focus on my top 11 picks and other honourable mentions. And briefly talk about how I like this particular format of the show compared to the OG. And in the future, probably evaluate the top 11 who did get chosen~
Disclaimer: My personal top 11 will surely vary over time until the final episode. Officially due to eliminations (can't expect to continue choosing my already eliminated top 11 pick. I would move that girl to honourable mentions by then I think?), unofficially due to editing where some dark horse suddenly caught my attention later in the show (eg. Chungha is a perfect example. She was inconspicuous to me at first but after the legendary Bang Bang performance she immediately shot up to a number 2 to me and perpetually my bias wrecker in IOI. Something like that.).
In general, I definitely feel more attached and supportive for these girls. I feel like I actually came to watch and support these girls, not for the star-studded judges lineup. Basically Idol Producer (IP) has more popular judges who are famous in the Kpop industry (Lay, ZJQ, CX, Jackson) whereas 创造 101 has more judges who are respected in the Cpop industry (Ella and Luo Zhixiang. I don't necessarily stan them devoutly but they obviously defined my generation's childhood significantly!). I actually didn't like Tao as the host though. I feel like almost any other idol could do a better job than him as a mentor. But that's just a small nitpick on my part. Let's dive into the real substance, my top 11 picks!

1. Qiang Dongyue (强东玥) 💖

(Credits: @/fung_nine on Twitter. Just chanced upon this Twitter account that has a few pictures of every contestant)

*literally a bub uwu!*
My fixed pick! Absolutely no one and nothing is going to change that!
Generally, when I start to stan a group or watch any P101 shows, I instinctively pick a bias already. That first pick will perpetually be my bias, it will never change! (The only time my bias in a group changed is EXID? Maybe because I can never choose a bias amongst those 5 distinctly charming dorks ok I am going off tangent again.) In the case of the P101 franchise, that would be Choi Yoojung and Ong Seongwoo. Both of them are still my bias in IOI/Wanna One respectively. Qiang Dongyue (I'll be lazy and just write QDY from this point on.) shall be the newest addition in my list of "I will never change my bias in the group" people~
Also I came for WJSN (Xuanyi and Meiqi) and stayed for QDY! Sounds about right~ Feels like deja vu (In P101 season 1 I came for Somi and stayed for Yoojung~).
Also, she's from Banana Entertainment. I believe Banana Culture (EXID's agency) is a subsi or associate of this agency. So I'll think of QDY as an equally talented distant Chinese cousin of EXID. 😂
I could literally harp on why QDY is my top pick. But I will try to keep it concise or I can write this part only for 12 hours. To sum it up:
- Can compose!!! (In my biased opinion, number 1 in composing is definitely her! But then again composing is subjective as every composer has their own style and they cannot be cross compared just like this. Just know that QDY is good at it!)
- Can sing~ (If the group has a powerful vocalist like Kimberley and/or Mimi, that group really needs a softer, more angelic voice like QDYto balance out. Basically I will not directly compare QDY with Kimberley and Mimi tyvm.)
- Can actually rap (she would probably win over anyone who is not Yamy LMAO QDY literally didn't deserve to be in B btw she should have dueled with someone else shittier and let that someone else stay in B.)
- It's not like her dance is bad. It's just that the other 3 are stronger 😂
- Basically a talented all-rounder!
- Talented + hardworking! An essential and lethal combo for an idol! That moment when she's in B, where she can be chosen as one of the "skilled" team leader, but she just worked so hard til she is qualified to be a "hardworking" team leader (and put the rest of the "A" grade contestants to shame). She doesn't want to let her skills down. 
- A humble bub. She didn't want to compete in the composing category for the position battle because she says that her composing skills is not perfect T^T
- An adorable bub! She deserves to be happy and smiley 24/7 because her eye smile with her cheeks ahh seriously!
- I can't believe I'm saying this but skinny legend! I think people may think that she's a little chubby just because she has that round cute full of baby fat cheeks face but then from some of her full body shots can tell that she's tall and super fit wtf I'm convinced that a perfect person exists the more I talk about her!
- A thoughtful leader. During the team battle when one of her members got injured (and basically could not dance) she quickly went to change up the choreo to still include that girl because it's all or none (of the members)! (Though I feel like if she gets into top 11, there will probably be more assertive members who will be the leader, like Yamy or Kimberley,  and QDY would go back to being an adorable and hardworking girl. But just know that when it's game on, she can still be a good leader.)

P.S. I just found a Wattpad post with every contestants' profile, including their birthdates (I'm particularly curious because I just want to see how useless I am compared to people around my age + how bad I am at guessing people's age). QDY is the latter hahahahahaha I was guessing like a '96 or '97 (and I thought I'm overestimating because I'm judging by her maturity instead of her baby face) but apparently I should've guessed higher hahah babyface legend!

Istg (since I'm writing this in week 5 of the show) her rank has been dropping if y'all make her drop out of top 11 I will fight anyone who decided not to vote for her anymore 😠

2. Meng Meiqi (孟美岐)

(Credits: @/fung_nine on Twitter.)

I think everyone has Meiqi (MQ) in their top 11 pick somewhere, for sure.
International fans can vote for this show (for me, I only vote from the Tencent app because less haste, but there will be more dedicated Ifans who used more methods to vote for them.). My point is: Casual Kpop fans will vote for XY and MQ. Even I came and watch this show for these 2 at first.
If I had to pick between XY and MQ, I would pick MQ. That's why she's ranked higher here (obviously). I will talk more about XY later (I'm sure she should be in my top 11 pick? Frankly as I write over time, I may have found a more solid top 11 pick of my own by then.) Focus is on MQ.
Simply put, MQ is definitely one of the most talented in this bunch. Her dance is easily number 1. She didn't need to emphasise or promote the fact that she's a dancer. She just dance and have everyone impressed. (BTW her dance in the battle for A 10/10 you should never sleep on her again.) The exact opposite of someone who NATO (no action talk only). Indeed, she has that star power as she is an idol already, but her pure talent made me stay on her lane. 
Over time, I low key feel gutted that people only recognise Cheng Xiao's dancing in WJSN but MQ gets overlooked. CX can do gimmicky viral moves like doing a whole flip without hand support, ISAC gymnastics, and has more powerful dance moves. MQ is more of a contemporary, sexy concept dancer who really shouldn't be slept on. Hey at least she's doing well in this show~
Also, stan 山支大哥! The fact that 创造 101 has tomboyish Sunnee, but MQ became the 大哥 in the show is hilarious! Even her dad is like "Why did my daughter become a 大哥 before I do?" 😂 In WJSN, she's closer to the maknae line age-wise and just that shy foreign kid in the group. On the other hand, her idol experience and charismatic presence in this show gave her (in koreaboo terms) an oppa personality out of nowhere.
MQ is also high key an uwu for calling XY (actually older than MQ lmao) her "小公主" every single time :3 I really adore XY and MQ's moments! 💕
P.S I just realised why she's called 山支大哥 😂 The 岐 in her name can be broken down into 山支 and then the 大哥 part is just her tomboyish personality (new useless facts that I learn every day).

3. Fu Jing (傅菁)

(This one is an official shot that 创造 101 uses anyway hahah)

I will just fight anyone who says that she's only a visual. To me, she's up here for a reason. I just know that every time 12am strikes, I will go to the app and vote QDY, then MQ, then FJ. My 3 must-votes. The rest have cheat days (ie. may not vote for them on some days because I spread dem support to underrated peeps sometimes) 😅
But ok yea she is seriously chio! She has that (paradoxically) familiar yet unique face. Like IDK she probably looks like another really chio celebrity somewhere out there (just doesn't ring a bell to me right now but definitely got!) but even if you throw her into the idol market, people will still find her visuals outstanding. She's not lacking in talent either. I feel like her talent is underappreciated because she's in a stage where she is good enough but the mentors keep wanting more, getting the best out of her. (She's good at dancing but if you pit her with MQ she ggwp. She has a nice voice but singing is a saturated market. People would mention the Kimberley/Mimi/Yingxiang trio first. Basically she's a 4.5 that needs to be pushed to a 5/5.) By then, she will be a lethal talented asset in the group. But hey, we can see that she managed to push herself from a B to an A. One small step to world domination proving to the general public that she is a top tier talent.
Another reason: She's a hilarious girl! As fit and slim as she looks, she loves to eat and she is basically our spirit animal for that! And then she's adorably clingy and gay af to XY (since they are roommates) hahah WJSN's lesbian billionaire couple who I only sail dem Fu Jing and Xuanyi ship! + she's the biggest MQ fan like SAME! If I were to choose her P101 parallel, I would say Doyeon and Ong. They are known for their visuals but off stage, they are pure chaotic good idiots dorks 😂

4. Liu Renyu (刘人语)

(Credits: @/fung_nine on Twitter.)

Time to feel like a useless senior citizen! We are delving into a 21st century kid already.
3 years younger than me but 300x the amount of talent that I have BRB crying in a corner 😭 (Also as I'm finishing up on this, if this ideal team of mine really goes through, she would literally be the maknae/youngest even though her talent surpasses her youth istg! I think I will definitely continuously address her as a kid now uwu!)
Obviously one of the most talented in the bunch! A convincing double A (A for both the first and final evaluation). I didn't really notice her til week 3 but since then she is aggressively climbing up this list. I think she's starting to join my fixed pick squad I'm not voting for her every day as well to make sure she gets in! 
She can already compose at such a young age! Also a great singer with a sweet voice. She gives the vibes that she may be young (she is actually wtf anyway) but she has already accomplished so much in her life! Her skills (without much experience) can match those experienced older members. Ok the moment I saw her age I cannot stop talking like she's my daughter or whatever don't mind me but oh my god so young!
I like how we would immediately throw certain concepts to certain contestants, like we would immediately throw cute to Li Zixuan and Wu Qianying (the latter at least look like her age I'm not saying LRY looks old, she's just really mature personality wise. But still both of them are the same age oh my god my head hurts just HOW?! And also my children so young for what!) and also Meiqi to cool and sexy or Yamy to girl crush etc. But LRY can't be confined into a concept. Ok I suck at describing some things but like she feels like a really progressive performer so she can do something novel and different every time and show different aspects of uniquely her over time.
And then she's just a shy and nice girl off stage. She's not necessarily a leader but the team mission where she's the centre, she's a good rock for the team. She didn't know how to lead, but makes sure that she treats all of them nicely and make everyone happy to be in the team~ I need to learn from her!
I saw the episode where she's in a composing team. I was so sad when she chose to take one for the team and decided to concede and let the team do 古风 (obviously not LRY's genre) because her teammates are selfish dumb shits like you have 2 composing teams and both do the same genre what even dumbass stubborn, until Yang Chaoyue stood up for her and decided that RY's musical direction is more helpful for the team instead of directly clashing the same genre. And then crying so much during the rehearsal my senior citizen heart hurts ok? It paid off in the end, she actually did quite well in that performance 😊 Good job!
BTW I've found a new trio that I really like (probably more than Kimberley-Li Ziting-Wu Yingxiang vocal trio sorry mate)! (I'll talk more about the other 2 later.) LRY + Zi Ning + Lu Xiaoyu 😊😊😊! I'll call them the criminally underrated double A squad! I know when 2 of them are present, they have their really friendly moments together so I think overall, these 3 are pretty tight as well~ I want the 3 of them to debut together!
I'm looking forward to LRY wrecking everyone's bias list over time and securing her top 11 spot pls pls don't sleep on another young girl who can compose songs.

5. Zi Ning (紫宁)

(Credits: @/fung_nine on Twitter.)

Another double A girl hahah! As I'm writing this, she is just starting to get more recognition because she deserves it! She started out as one of the most low-profile A girl (she got like 47th at the start hahah the viewers have some terrible first impressions!). Even I didn't really notice her I was just like "Oh another double A k.". But thanks to having more screen time (which she deserves!), we get to see more of this drop dead gorgeous, talented and kind girl! (Definitely just a lil' introverted she thinks that she has that "unapproachable" face so she don't dare to approach others and vice versa like wtf I have a kiampa face then hahah) I think I've used the word "talented" on everyone but seriously skills is really a big charm that they have for people to love them (and also what is a layman synonym for talented hahah I'll stick to my scrub vocab). I admit that I wouldn't immediately call her "main ___" in any positions for now because there are other contestants who excel in each category, but ZN is one of the all-rounders out there. After QDY, I think she's the closest to being a "triple threat" 👍 (really like Chungha but ZN's forte is singing instead, with solid dancing and yea haven't seen much rap from both hahah). Same as LRY, I've religiously voted for her ever since I started to notice her a little late 😂 
I just realised that she has debuted before (I think the group is called Mera?) I went on YouTube to see what's up there and she really has so much good contents up there that people should go check out!

6. Yamy


(My first impression: WTF did a Korean joined 创造 101 for whatever reason?)
The only reason why Yamy is not higher than this is because I just personally like the first 5 more. But hey Yamy still made it here!
Frankly I was a little apprehensive about her at first, and wondering why she's super popular. Sometimes it's not like she's not good or I don't like her (seriously I obviously do think that she's one of the most talented up there, and if I don't like her, I wouldn't even be writing about her right now), but some contestants have a more individualistic vibe. They are so talented and kinda imba that they should be a soloist. That's how I felt about Yamy at first and that's how I feel about Kimberley right now.
What made me change my first impression? Hahah amongst the... more individually outstanding (I know such a word don't exist obv but I just want to tone down on the word "individualistic" hope my intention is clear hahah) contestants (her, Kimberley, Ge Jiahui), at least Yamy feels like she could unite and bring the group forward. Basically I think she would make a good group leader. 
Her rapping is an obvious win as well. I know my picks will start to be a vocalist clusterfk (because so far, more vocalists stood out) so definitely good to balance with a rapper. And if I'm expecting a gg with a good composer (QDY and/or LRY), Yamy is a good lyricist so there's a killer self-composing squad!

7. Mimi Lee/Li Ziting (李紫婷)


My mindset as I'm thinking of my pick is "There is no way I will sleep on that power vocal trio (Kimberley, Mimi, Wu Yingxiang). But I can't really put all 3 inside. (That's like trying to put Ariana Grande, Jessie J and Nicky Minaj all in the same girl group. Too good but too unbalanced for a group yknow what I mean?) I want to pick other people. Ok let me try to choose one only." as if I have to pick one from that trio, I would pick LZT first. Kimberley is powerful and feisty but too feisty imo and I know she'll do fine as a soloist. Wu Yingxiang is still not very prominent to me. I don't know much about her other than being Kimberley and LZT's friend. So that leaves LZT. At least I can see LZT fit into a girl group and contribute as a power vocal that could still allow her other vocally oriented (but not in the powerful league) members to balance out. Hahah just that simple reason only.
Also I guess she's the youngest among the trio, so a lot more potential to grow as a girl group main vocal.
BTW as I'm writing this, she's consistently at 11th and hasn't changed position since the start of the show (SORCERY! Ok I may have jinx it as I'm saying this hahah I hope I jinxed her to a better position then 😂 because 11th is not safe at all) she needs more upvotes istg if I were her and I see my position I will get a heart attack every single week!
Update: YASSS I really jinxed her in a good way, the week after I mentioned her 11th position streak, she went up to 6th 😎! Keep it up!

8. Lai Meiyun (赖美云)

(Credits: Kpopmap. As is all other subsequent images below)

Reaching the clusterfk of cutiepies now 😂 With so many cutiepies in this show, it takes a lot to stand out! And for me who would lean more to girl crush, have I emphasised that it takes a lot to stand out? The first cutiepie that stands out to me would be 小七. I'll abbreviate her name as LMY from here on.
Basically I think she's the epitome of five feet of fury in this show. Really really smol (even Li Zixuan looks tall compared to LMY and people literally call Zixuan a "bean"!) but no lack in talent 💪 So her raw talent made me inclined to her. I didn't really notice her at the start though (since I'll look at the A pool for the talented bunch first before exploring standouts in the B pool) but imo, like QDY, they both are too good to be in B. Screw that 11 A grade member limit. 
Another thing that made me like her: Despite her size, she can really step up as a good sister and friend to others. Not necessarily in the leader sense though. More like she will actually stay up and teach 1-on-1 to her weaker buddies, give 'em pep talk and all. I saw a lot of this when she's in the B class so that's a valiant effort 👍.
I think more people are on the same boat as me and realised that she cannot be overlooked. Over time, I realised I have been voting for her almost every day as well so that seals the deal!

9. Lu Xiaoyu (吕小雨)


YASSS get 'em acrobatics princess!
I've definitely noticed Lu Xiaoyu from episode 1. She went from a Yes?/No? to definitely a Yes! now 😂 First off, I do like her acrobatics (I almost wrote "circus" fml my Chinese isn't hopeless but my translation skills is really shit) performance (hence a "Yes" at the start), but that little bit of "No?" is just me wondering whether you can give an A just for that. I was left wondering how I would really evaluate her singing and dancing (because I couldn't actually remember what she actually sang and dance to!). But she kept her A in the revaluation so yea that's a sign of her being rock solid and I have faith in her!
Next, the main reason to why I like her is literally because she's adorable uwu 😊😊😊! I know I keep telling myself that I shouldn't judge only by looks but I would literally pick her even if she's just an adorable blank slate. Anyway her talents back her up that's a bonus~
I also realised she's very low key in the show compared to other A grade contestants, so her rankings are pretty so-so right now 😞 Doesn't help that she's the sole trainee in her company. (At least she's close to LRY and ZN hahah personally my underrated adorable trio if I haven't mentioned that already.) I'm voting for her aggressively also because she needs to rise in her rankings!
Update: This kid became the MVP for the position performance! Frankly, Marry You is one of the more plain dances (I was mad that mentor Wang Yibo didn't want them to change and told them to just stick to being "cute" but that for another day.), but I'm glad that Gao Yingxi insisted on elevating their performance and our protagonist Lu Xiaoyu very literally elevated herself up and did acrobatics! Some people complained about this turning into an acrobatics show but what she did is literally a plus point, if not a salvation and a BANG to otherwise a pretty bland finale. She got the most votes (because the audience are woke!) and she deserves it!

10. Yang Chaoyue (杨超越)


Probably the most polarising contestant!
To be honest, the reason why I chose Yang Chaoyue (YCY) is simply because I supported Sohye in P101 😂. It's not rocket science, if I supported Sohye, I would be a massive hypocrite to jump on hating YCY. Granted YCY's improvement isn't as magical as Sohye's tbh and she still fucks up pretty obviously in the position performance (using Sohye as a benchmark, even Sohye is at least minimally idol ready by then). I've had my days where I would be thinking, "Seriously do I really want to see her in this team?". But I guess it's leaning to a yes hahah.
She is definitely not gifted! People have obviously digged her pre-debut videos and everything (just like what they did for Sohye) and she's not really a total blank slate. Her single biggest flaw is just a lack of rhythm (in both singing and dancing), which would completely throw her off. I feel like once she has fixed that, her improvement in other aspects will be pretty pronounced. And also, she's definitely a slow learner. She may seem pretty shit in the Pick Me reevaluation performance (despite working so hard) but with more hard work behind the scenes she has reached a decent progress during her solo cam for the performance. The receipt? Here. And maybe she can try to find better ways to learn within short time constraints. Even though if she managed to debut, she definitely wouldn't be forced to learn everything in 3 days or what. She'll have more time and she should do fine by then. Either way, she really isn't a lost cause!
And perhaps the most important factor. She has an X-factor charisma. Most of her haters basically say that she's talentless and that is the only reason why she shouldn't debut. But I've watched enough of these shows and stanned enough groups to know that talent isn't everything. Being an idol, talent may win you half the battle but only when you get noticed, you can seals the deal. Yes there are many talented girls in this show, but YCY got noticed! YCY can do literally anything and people will notice her, basically any management company will want people like that! That's just idol life! I would ask these group of people to watch The Unit to really understand the gravity of the situation. And in my biased opinion, I'm a sucker for her ditzy and clumsy personality anyway 😂
Most veterans would say that "Someone without skills can improve (as long as they put their heart into it), but some things like charisma only belongs to a select few.". I hope that makes it clear as to why in some cases, we may be inclined to choose people who may not be evidently talented like YCY 😊. To me, as long as YCY proves that she puts 120% of her heart into this, I will put faith in her!

11. Sunnee


Frankly, it's not a good thing for me to rank Sunnee here.
Since this is my blog, I will be brutally honest. Singing? Good but with my vocalist clusterfk list, I've seen better. Dance? Definitely has stronger candidates. Rap is just out of the equation. Wouldn't necessarily call her a composer (even though she went for that category but she wasn't a huge muse like Yamy in her group or LRY in the other group). Girl crush? I'm feeling more for Meiqi and Yamy. Ok now I have to use the YCY method to find that X-factor charisma... which is being such a girl crush... which... refer to my previous point.
But most of the audience does see something in her, so yes she does attract quite a following and I shouldn't count my minority opinion and acknowledge that she has charms. As is Wu Xuanyi! Wu Xuanyi has god tier level of charisma for sure!
So here comes my explanation as to why I chose Sunnee over Xuanyi: 
It's just because I have already chosen Meiqi 😂 I'm thinking in the sense that who needs more publicity by being in this project group. And while Xuanyi can bring so much attention to the project group, I think Sunnee needs this opportunity more. This is assuming my ideal top 11 really got through. Meiqi can get WJSN's name out. But anyway WJSN is actually already pretty mid-tier level famous I wouldn't think they need the publicity anyway. So Xuanyi and Meiqi are really doing it to get their OWN name out. Not hiding behind Cheng Xiao as the "two other China girls in the group". And I think that even if they don't join this project group, both of them has done it. (But I still wouldn't drop Meiqi because she's obviously the main dancer calibre and at least she can garner tons of attention for the project group just fine!) I think Xuanyi can go back to Korea safely knowing that she did get her name out like she intended to.
On the other hand, Sunnee's group has virtually no following! China's girl group market is really bad, even Korea's "nugu" (I hate this term but yea...) idol groups would be more famous than 99% of groups in China. Sunnee's agenda is obviously publicity as well. Thus having my benchmark on who needs the publicity more. And Sunnee is still pretty good already (despite my criticisms) so she can represent her group well by debuting in the project group.
She's also one of the nicest girls in this show, that I will obviously acknowledge! Her list of nice deeds is more non-exhaustive than my long-winded list so yea basically watch the show and you'll see Sunnee being nice every single time yayyy~ Can tell that she'll be a good team player in the group~

Honourable mentions:
These are the kind of people where you'll still cry if they don't see them debut but the reality of only having 11 girls in the group still stays yea T^T
- Wu Xuanyi: I've made enough justification when talking about Sunnee ok? But obviously she's very charismatic. 
To make a WWE analogy, it's like me liking Finn Balor, AJ Styles (my top 11 picks) and all but I'm not going to ignore the fact that John Cena (equivalent to Xuanyi here) is a top star that gets everyone watching!
- Gao Qiuzi: She's just hilarious! I want a friend like her ok and I will happily go eat a lot with her any day! And while she may be comedic she still has the EQ to tone it down in serious situations. And her singing is actually quite nice I was shookt in her position performance "Let Me Love You"!
- Duan Aojuan: Another super popular girl! She is super super super nice! Very good singer. Problem is she doesn't seem ready for other roles (she still has to dance eventually) and IDK what's her killer charismatic point other than being that nice and bubbly girl. I still like her regardless, just never really in my top 11 pick...
- Li Zixuan: Smol bean! Our centre is here! (I was so mad at her makeup artist in the pick Me performance because people call this bean "ugly"! The makeup really fucked up that day anyway.) Girlie needs confidence because her dance is really good (just a different good from Meiqi's niche but both of their dances are comparable already!), and singing still can make it (with Ella's tactics 😂). She's only here because I am a sucker for 2 other cutiepies (Lai Meiyun and Lu Xiaoyu) and that was my cap hahah!
- Kimberley Chen: Definitely one of the strongest vocalists! She's kinda like Samuel (in P101 season 2). I just think she'll be successful as a soloist. I mean she is actually successful as a soloist (here). I understand that maybe being in a girl group is in her bucket list or smth~
- Gao Yingxi and Wu Qianying: I will just group both of them together since they are from the same dance academy (note: not agency. They don't actually have one.). Obviously they are top tier dancers, who lack vocal training and in general idol training. So for them it's a chance to receive a decent amount of idol training and hope for the best. Both of them are young and really talented, they have a bright future 😊

This post took me one whole week to write because I'm a long-winded piece of shit, but I'm glad that I'm done writing. Or I may update more like my opinions about the mentors, the competition results and all. For now, I'm done for the day! And I wish a genuine good luck to all the girls competing in the show!
