    LMFAO. BNK trended on Weibo because of ลูกทุ่งไอดอล (Looktoong Idol).
    [​IMG]

    Looktoong Idol is a survival show set to air early next month. The promotional video for the show has released recently and it has been criticized for copying "Produce 101" and various K-pop songs internationally. (You may search up #ลูกทุ่งไอดอล on Twitter.)

    The show also has been heatedly discussed in China but mainly on the look of contestants. Chinese netizens complained they thought the Thai look-alike Lisa of Black Pink but realistically the Thai in general was ugly.

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    Some Chineses argued that they were many good-looking Thai girls those joining the show were all country girls and used BNK48's girls as examples. (Looktoong is more popular among those in lower classes.)

    In my opinion, some contestants actually had fair to good visual but the styling and make up did they no justice. (And, the costume also was criticized as a rip-off of Momoland's Bboom Bboom. LOL.)

    The production house of the show is Zense. Previously, True, a broadcaster, was licensed to make Thai version of Produce 101 and contacted Zense to produce the show. The project was canceled and Zense might use what they had prepared to make Produce 101 on this. Thai netizens have strongly demand for the cancellation of ลูกทุ่งไอดอล saying the show embarrassing the nation.

    Luktung Idol is pretty irrelevant here so I'll try to keep this short.

    I think the controversy is that it's:
    1) an illegal copycat with regards to the dancing & general look of the stage
    2) misunderstood in China/Korea as the Thai version of Produce 101, which it isn't. It's a copycat made to LOOK like Produce 101, but it's essentially a luktung singing contest, which is basically the Thai equivalent of country music. These girls don't just look like country girls, they ARE country girls. They don't look like idol-type girls because they're NOT idol type girls. If Thailand made an official Produce101 (e.g. like how True bought the licence), most of these girls would not make it on the show either. It's unfortunate they're being judged by idol standards when in reality, they're your average girl at the market who enjoys singing lukthung, and there's nothing wrong with that.

    Last year it was announced that there is going to be an official Thai version of Producer 101(male). I forgot who has the rights to it, but I think it is(was?) True.
    Edit: I looked it up, and True does have the rights to it, but it looks like it's either been cancelled, or just delayed. It's possible this just them trying to get some of their money back.

    It's not about BNK48, but
    They already cancelled the show but didn't given any reason, and It''s not airing on True Channel. cause Luktung Idol is Airing in channel 7.
    and this program is not filming anything yet(only the mv performance one), they just want people to talk about this and know this program exist. and It's like they success for this. lol

    The contestant too might be confused. The teaser showed a girl auditioning with "Bitch naneun solo". :lol:
    It's wrong from the very start to converge K-pop idol and looktoong, to name the show "Looktoong Idol". They may integrate K-pop with Looktoong but not the "idol" part.
    Actually, Lisa too was a country girl. Her parents came from remote areas of the country. Without K-pop glow-up, she might not look much different from those country girls. Some of these girls can look nice like Lisa with nice fashion and make up. Country girls aren't genetically different from urban girls.

    Since it's a girl, wota may not make big fuss over it?
    The singer, Bambam, actually is a (soft) butch but she wore wig for the shooting. The agency cloaks her style but unveils her sexual orientation. :confused:
    Most butch singers in the country are into ballad.

    This is amazing news in so many ways.
    Building on and cementing the first two generations and their position in the industry, supporting and boosting their careers with more films and TV shows (oh WOW at Panda in a film, this is huge and I love it!) and allowing them to promote themselves and the group without it becoming crowded/oversaturated.
    Further collaboration with other sister groups - this is something that they seem to have done successfully so far, so I am happy with that.
    Another documentary - after the success of the first one, this can only be a positive and while I haven't seen the first one, I look forward to being able to watch them both! The documentary gave them even more exposure and praise if I remember correctly, so bring it. Show us another side of them.

    One of the (many) things I truly love about BNK is the management style. A potential scandal? Let's address it on a FB live. A member causes outrage? Let's learn from it and educate them. 2019 plans? Here ya go, some transparency.
    Do we know if they will hold any more of these kind of 'We talk to you' events in the future? Because they are bloody brilliant.

    More details
    - BNK Story will be 60 episodes long. The target of the show is to attract new fans from neighboring countries and aspirants to apply the audition.
    - The BNK48 Foundation will kick off with the sale of Cherprang figurine, cost 9,900 THB each and limited to 999 pieces. The income earned will go to the foundation.

    [oversize image - too long]

    - More staffers recruited including psychologist, medical staffer, guard and lawyer.
    - The series One Year has sold to foreign countries.
    - Members to play in the comedic film Thaibaan are Kaimook, Mobile, Pupe, Namneung, Noey, Tawaan, Kaew, Namsai
    - The solo concert is the concert of a member. Not yet announced which member.
    - Member produced concert.
    - Handshake e-ticket to be introduced.
    - B-side track of 6th single is Kimi no Koto ga Suki Dakara

    The member to get solo concert is expected to be Kaew as she told her fans to save money. Anyway, it will be officially announced 31st next month.

    In Where We Belong, aside from Jennis and Music, others may have minor roles.
    I find Donut questionable as director.
    I disagree about transparency and the explanation from the agency's rep often is unclear. Yet, I agree with an wota's opinion that RAM is far better than AKS in treating the member as human, not just replaceable product.
    This We Talk to You event is kind of the press con of yearly plan. Likely, it will be such event yearly.

    I can confirm that BNK48: Girls Don't Cry is coming to USA netflix this Friday. I'm so happy that I will get to watch it finally.

    I also read somewhere that One Year the series' right has been bought by many countries. BNK office really tries to make a push for oversea market.

    The info on medical staff was wrong. RAM is not hiring medical staffers but has made a deal with a hospital to provide health care to members.

    Synopsis of Thaibaan
    8 members of BNK were assigned to release a "molam" single thus, they headed to a remote village in the northeast to absorb the culture and properly deliver molam. The key point of the flim is to see city girls adjusting into rustic livelihood and culture.

    Molam is a folk music of the northeast. This is how it sounds like.

    if the video does not show watch the video here

    it's interesting if those girls will release original molam ost. for the film.

    One Year is done by the studio GDH who has strong foreign following.

    Meanwhile, Mewnich's film, Sisters, is done by Sahamongkolfilm, the king of Thai action film and Pratya Pinkaew, directed some famous action films. The film likely too will be sold to oversea distributors.
