    What I'm getting at is that they're willing to step in and make them change their positions for something trivial like 'Gaeun's too sexy', while noone steps in for Side to Side, a dance where it might be problematic if WY's doing choreography too sexy for her age.

    They'll tell Gaeun she's too sexy and make her switch, while noone said 'Maybe you should tone down these parts of Side to Side a bit for WY, or change WY's part slightly', something arguably more important than what happened in I AM.

    Also the fact that they ended up making 15 year old Yujin wear garters/straps anyways is laughable.

    In the end, it's impossible to deny KPOP is the superior entertainment industry, only the best surgeons coupled with the best production can produce such a reliable army of dancing and singing clones.

    Me, I prefer the looks of J-IDOLS, thanks:^O^:

    Trainers were the one who decided that Gaeun wasn't suitable for that song, weren't they? Did the police say anything about PD48's trainers? Something like the companies payed them to get their trainees picked as center?

    If you want to accuse someone, pls back up your statement with proof. If not, then it is better to shut your mouth.

    Do you not get what I'm trying to say?

    To the trainers, Gaeun not suiting I AM is more worthy of calling for change than Wonyoung dancing sexily to Side to Side on national broadcast

    Gaeun too sexy to be center → Change positions so she's not center
    Wonyoung dancing sexy song for national broadcast → Cool, no problem, proceed

    Fit song concept > Fit their age

    I don't have issues with their decision for I AM, if they say so then sure. I'm just saying its contradictory if they're calling out one and not the other

    The original argument was Kpop sexualization < Jpop sexualization (gravure, HS), the fact that there wasn't a problem with WY in that dance, or Erii/Minami in Boombayah as another example shows that Kpop is no better than Jpop when it comes to sexualizing minors. In fact, iirc netizens were quite supportive of seeing that 'new side' of WY, and also 'cute Boombayah'

    I promise this will be my last post on this topic...

    Can you prove your point by listing even 1 of K-pop idol who has bikini shot at the age of 14 like this?

    content deleted due to forum policy violation

    If you can then sure, I will agree with your argument.

    Imaizumi was a Junior Idol back then, she wasn't a J-pop idol, they are different things. Quit the fake news.

    Also, any Nogizaka songs you can remember that include twerking and hip thrusts?


    Can we quit the K-Pop vs J-Pop stuff now?

    I thought everyone is talking about Yujin??

    But tbh and not offense, seems like Starship and Mnet pushed Yujin so hard even made Gaeun went kicked out from I AM's center position. Like, Yujin was pushed hard (maybe you could compare hers with, ehm, you-know-who) since beginning of the show, but Wonyoung took the spot and Starship went panicking :fear: Maybe this was part of PD-nim's rigging scheme

    And yes, Gaeun was not suited as the center (according to the composer cmiiw?), but Yujin was not suited neither. I would prefer Jurina as the center than those two

    Actually I wanna say K-idol has an 15-year-old girl sings song about blowjob but I remember 48G have a lot risque songs lol

    Well Yujin is a total future star in the making. She's a prodigy.

    neither are the first to do so, the original idol did it first

    Well, at the time France Gall (RIP) had really no clue she was singing a song about sex. (Tonari no banana is soft compared to this)
    She recorded it in all innocence.

    The song is a result from it's lyricist / composer (Serge Gainsbourg FYI) who bet he could make a teenagers sing whatever would come out of his twisted mind.
    (And he did it lol, what a genius).

    In current Times where pictures are everywhere, and teens are more or less exposed to porn, I'm not convinced the idols really ignore the suggestivity in their work.

    I remember during the time of pre-PD48 which Yujin is known as Sewoon backdancer and the girl in contact lense commercial. She have the potential to go big during Produce48. If only that she not going full AhnHyungSeob.

    Meh. Yujin is overrated. Her expression is dead. Her being in Starship is the only reason why she always get the screentimes not to mention they always good edit her. The other Yujin (Ko Yujin?) miles better than her. Too bad her image is too sexy for Ahn-PD's taste just like Gaeun.

    Mind if I ask, what is a “J-pop idol”?

    I know it isn’t your fault that you are tone deaf, but still...

    After this, I don't believe anything that comes out of cj / mnet anymore (notice the small caps) They have some strong responsabilities from season 1; there"'s no way they were not aware in the slightest on what was going on in the following seasons.

    It seems that Starship may have been spending big rigging the Produce lineup since the beginning.
