    Some of the posts are just plain rude and salty sigh.

    I dont think its wise to just shut down rumours right away since quite a number of them turn out to be true, having a source or not. Even the semi final ranks of PD101 Season 2 was leaked out without any source. Just take anything with a gain of salt. Whats there to complain about? IMO talking about rumours is alot better than beating a dead horse about Hana's push that many of you have been doing.

    but still tho girls like Mirurun and Mako don't need to participate. it'll destroy any momentum they have in Japan.


    and about the center talk, yes Kpop do have centers. it's usually the same with "face of the group". and the center position can be changed. just looka at GFriend. At first it was Yerin, and then around Rough-Navillera era Sinb was center, but Yerin came back as center for FINGERTIP-LW with Sinb more prominent as 2nd center then when she did at Glass Bead and Me Gustas Tu. and somehow they shoved Yerin to the gutters on SR, with Sinb once again being center. i think RV also had some "center changes"

    and let's take BTS. Jungkook might not be hyung line-level popular, but it could be said that V and Jimin has more public recognition, thus making both of them more suitable for "face of the group". but then try to watch BTS perf vids and tell me Jungkook's not as prominent as Techi on Keyaki songs. Nayeon's also the same case. SaTzu are still leagues above her yet we don't see them being TWICE's center, instead we got Nayeon. Just in case you need another example, EXO. Kai's the center yet he's not even one of the popular ones (Chanyeol, Sehun, Baekhyun). Before you say "but Kai is main dancer", lemme stop you right there. Is Nayeon main dancer? is Jungkook main dancer? is Yerin main dancer? is Irene main dancer? the answer is NO.

    Small groups like MAMAMOO might not have a visible center, but then i can still tell Solar's their center. Maybe that's i'm too used on "spotting centers"

    In fact, most of the rumors and spoilers came true.
    Ans what's about Hana's push?
    Can someone tell me about that?

    some of you guys get angry so easily. it's obvious some of the posters in this thread have no interest in the show, it's best not to read this thread. i see no harm in posting rumored participants, or any sort of rumors for that matter. as long as we take it with a grain of salt. the show won't air for a while but it keeps the conversation going and it's not just for the sake of it either.

    Okay, I am getting very tired of being called into this thread, and finding the same people fighting over and over again. So, this is now your collective FINAL WARNING...

    If I have to referee any more of the bickering in this thread, I will PERMANENTLY BAN the offenders from this thread, period. This goes double for @Matsui Hikari and @Twice48 , you both are hanging on by a shoestring. However, it is not limited to those two.

    You guys have completely wrecked this thread, and I will not tolerate it any longer.

    Why do you keep talking without legit source then? :rolleyes:

    And, I doubt how all rumors regarding 48 girls came from K-pop fans when most of girls rumored were unknown to us.

    Exactly, since only NMB's girl I can recognize by face is Sayakasan.

    Fyi, AKB is not the whole J-pop thus, AKB being subpar does not equate to J-pop is worse than K-pop. Even some sister groups are more skilled.

    That rumor likely is fake. It said Lee Seunggi would be the host, meanwhile, on another forum, it was discussed Yunho would be a great host choice.

    It was reported the show would kick off in the first half of the year, so, possibly, May or June. The teaser with some contestants shown should be released few weeks in advance.

    Allkpop 90% of the time just translates Korean articles.

    I have no idea about Komiharu but Miru obviously is a K-pop fan, this may be once in a life time chance to live K-pop fan's dream, be on Korean music shows, do fan signs, meet K-pop stars behind the scene, and have fan meet tour all over Asia. As long as she still is a member of NMB, both captain and center positions are possible to be retaken. Also, the agency may promise her some benefit if she can debut through the show. Yoshimoto has wanted to promote NMB pan-Asia and this show is a good chance.

    Just because you only recognize Sayanee doesn’t mean Mirurun is not acknowledged (by a plenty plenty of others that is not you!)

    Uh...”48G” includes its sister groups :huh:
    Some people are really petty, huh, to report replies?

    More like 90% of the time Allkflop steal translations/news from other accounts or just get communicates ready from compagnies ;)


    To comeback to the rumors I hope at least half of the trainees will be from AKB or else they might be in a delicate situation :/

    Ok.
    What's about Hana hate?
    Because I heard it somewhere else in the threads lately.
    But back then, she was a kenkyuusei in HKT48, right?
    http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?posts/1417739
    Agreed.
    Allkpop should had been renamed Hatekpop.
    Because this news site is causing unnecessary fanwars between Kpop fandoms.

    Oh god lol. Hana became a center of hate and insults because S48 people are lame and don’t have anyone else to talk about.

    Jokes aside, Hana became a hot topic here because she keeps getting included in AKB A-sides and centered 2 HKT A-sides despite being not very “worthy”. No one knows what/who started it (or at least I don’t) but everyone just started riding the Poke Hana Train.

    Another thing is that the whole argument about Produce48 ruining people's momentum is speculation in the first place. You dont know that. It might be a net positive in terms of exposure, it might be good for people looking to improve their skills outside of 48 groups' training systems or get into a different side of entertainment industry. It might be run differently from the other seasons in some way. Even if theyre doing well in their respective group some people might want more experience outside of 48g and this could be seen as a unique opportunity. We dont know.

    So the people basing their arguments how "______ WILL RUIN THEIR WHOLE CAREER" and then adding something about how "korea suxx" or whatever for good measure are also starting fights based on baseless speculation. RUMORS.

    /edit: to clarify, I dont think something's wrong with people saying why they think a particular rumor is unlikely, thats actually interesting to me, I just mean making ridiculous, overtly-aggressive comments based on their idea of what the show will be when they dont know anything is silly

    This is why I'm not into music fandoms. I like K-Pop and J-pop (A little of C-Pop) and that's it. I'm not deep into it like fans are and one of the main reasons is from this thread alone.

    I will admit I have always wanted a K-Pop sister group, so, I'm down for this whole idea. If it's at all a sister group. Anyway, I should go looking into P101 before this starts up.

    I don’t know if that rumour list is fake but after seeing it I just want to say that I’ll be very happy if Miyupon can go on Produce48 and gain some fans. She’s pretty, lovely and talented.

    This talk about visual brought back an important question I had in the past:
    Why do some Koreans feel the need to hate on the visual of jpop idols ???
    They'll be bashing them because "they are tiny", because they "mixed themselves too much with South East Asians" (tf does that even mean ?), because they have "strong features" & other dumb stuffs like that.
    I even remember reading a comment saying that Jpop idols looked like "pretty commoners" compared to kpop idols, as if it was a compliment :fp:

    I hope Produce48 will finally make people realize that Japanese visuals are waaaay too underrated !

    A guy I know said that kpop idols are better than 48G because "they are actually beautiful, but 48G members look like ordinary girls" :fp: And he said it like that's a bad thing... Meh, personally I prefer cute girl-next-door types over kpop idols with tons of makeup and (most of them) plastic surgery... But that's just me.

    I knowwwwww. She’s cute personality wise and looks wise as well. I love her so much, it’ll make me really happy if she does go on Produce48 and gets out some relevancy out of it. And her singing voice is so nice. She would definitely do very well if trained properly. I can definitely see Koreans liking her.
    I don’t think they’re that against Japanese people visuals in general. Twice Jtrinity gets so much love for what they look like. And Ariyoshi Risa too, on Produce 101. Then there’s the endless Hashimoto Kanna and Nogi love. I think they have a lot of inhibitions against the styling tho.
    I won’t comment on the SEA visuals thing, that’s a whole different bag of worms.
    Koreans seem to have a very narrow standard for beauty (v chin, double eyelids, pale skin, high nose bridge, small sized head) and when someone doesn’t fit it they seem to disregard them (Throwback to that viral gif of Miss Korea contestants all having the same face).

    Visuals actually reminds me of when there was a post of SKE choreo copying Twice and one of the knetz comments was actually about how pretty Uha is (something like “the girl at the back is so pretty” for a gif of jurina) instead of the plagiarism accusations [hehe]
