TV / Radio Produce 48 (2018/06/15 - 2018/08/31)

Welcome to eternal damnation

Your punishment for not voting enough for Sally is listening to my team's rendition of BOOMBAYAH on a loop until the end of days.

Enjoy!

(I guess that location was cheap)

 

I personally think Jang Wonyoung and Na Goeun are among the prettiest girls in this season. Nako and Sae are also exceptionally beautiful. I don't really like the way Seoyoung does her makeup that much and I think she'd look prettier with dark hair. But that's up to her.

What is the reason??

On another note, I'm currently watching the first season of Produce101 as much as I find time, and they actually did a lot of rock paper scissor to determine the center, especially in later challenges. I think it was Cheetah who commented that picking the center by Janken is a bit insincere but considering how many people did it in Season 1, I am once again surprised what a big deal it was when it came to Natsu *shrug*

 

Wait... so is Jurina still in the show?

 

Chile.. I think it was announced from the very beginning that the girls could kennin.

 

No?

I think she had only filmed up to the Group Battle.

 

They just want to give you the suspense

I am wondering how much hate the rap goddess Eriiyaaahh will get if her leader get eliminated.

 

I think it's a predicament not exclusive to Kr companies as I have seen similar in Chinese and Taiwanese show business.
The point is that for a project like this encompassing multiple talent companies a properly written contract to shackle them is integral.

The principal reason why i.o.i disbanded despite it's popularity, is cause by the weakness of the contract in the first place. Thankfully, Mnet learned it's lesson and in wanna-one's case, made the binding contract more stringent.

 

Love that look on her!!!
She's one of my fave but I doubt she'll be on the final 12 anyway so this at least gives me hope there's a future group to hope for.

@IchVermisseDenSommer chill lol

I think they couldn't ignore Jurina's absence, since her importance, but I'm glad to see they didn't pretend she disappeared magically like they usually do.

 

IOI disbanded cause they were never meant to be a permanent group. But I admit IOI was hindered by the girls debuting in their own groups.

 

I suppose they didn't expect the group to become so popular? But I gotta say, I.O.I has some serious bops. Whatta Man and Very Very Very are my favourites. And I like the story behind Hand in Hand.

Plus, I think the group names I.O.I and WannaOne are nice plays on the show's title. I hope the group coming out of PD48 is gonna get a cute name too, but I hope it's more creative than 4T8 or smth like that.

 

since Jurina left, now i really really hope that Ikumin didn't get eliminated, she's one of the girl that i'm rooting for ! i kinda worried about Tomu, but i'm sure she'll survive the first elimination, not sure about the second one though

anyway, here's my top 12 picks that i hope will be the final line up :
1. Ahn Yujin
2. Lee Gaeun
3. Miyawaki Sakura
4. Yabuki Nako
5. Choi Yena
6. Takeuchi Miyu
7. Kwon Eunbin
8. Goto Moe
9. Heo Yunjin
10. Honda Hitomi
11. Nakano Ikumi
12. Muto Tomu

i know, i'm biased with the 48 girls, i put more Japanese girls than Korean girls, that's unrealistic, but i want them all to debut! is that wrong? lol
i'll get crushed by reality sooner or later anyway.. sigh.. let me enjoy my dream girlgroup just for a second pls

 

Hum? Wasnt it said from the beginning of this season that the girls will be allowed to promote in two groups this time around? So what if they hint her debut now or later. It's allowed... (unlike in season 1 where the rules weren't set from the beginning and some companies decided to become greedy of the instant success of their girls).
It's not like they are pulling her out all of sudden, or did i read wrong?

Foot/leg injury that she had since before the show. I guess it just worsen to the point that she had to stop all activities for a while to let it rest.

 

Oh! AKB just released some albums on Melon! The ones they put up before were their first best album and Sugar Rush
Now they just added in the 8th and 9th album

EDIT: I checked and it's actually also on Naver Music and Bugs so I assume it's also on Mnet (obviously), Soribada, and Genie as well. I guess AKS signed the girls with Stone Music in Korea for distribution as well.

 

i saw one rumour that K46's Eccentric would be one of the rap performance songs

 

Lowkey hoping that some of my fav K-trainees from Stone Music survive in today's episode
Well, if they didn't get into the final group, how about recruiting some of them to form SOL48?

Soribada: http://m.soribada.com/artist/AJ001626
Also, AKB48 is currently trending #1 on Melon search

Finally can buy the song individually but my melon pass is expired orz

Seems like AKS is in serious mode to expand the businesses to SK

Actually there's a similar case in PD101 season 1, a CUBE trainee was announced by her company as additional member of CLC when PD101 was aired thus created fuss among K-netz https://www.allkpop.com/article/201...-cube-adding-produce-101s-kwon-eun-bin-to-clc
Also, if you follow IOI, you should know that there's an era which only 7 girls promoted Whatta Man (thankfully, the song is a bop)

EDITED: I just read Seichan's tweet about PD48 (and she supports Miru + Saepii!) https://twitter.com/seina_fuku48/status/1017561030879113217?s=19

They're making a fuss over bikini photoshoot? lololol i'm laughing so hard right now..
well, SK and Kpop fans in general are new to AKB so i shouldn't have been surprised to see them reacting like this, bikini is a RARE or kinda Taboo i guess for Kpop female idol.. well, i'll say, if the girls aren't forced to do it, it's okay, right? it's not like they did porn or something.. and the photos of Tomu, sakura, jurina, are kinda tamed to be honest.. if they saw mayu's or katorena's photos from their photobook they'll passed out i think

 

I actually find many kpop dances worse than those bikini photoshoot

 

Soyou really scolding these girls during fitness class for not synchronizing their jumping jacks

WHY DIDNT CHUNGHA GO IN THERE AND SHOW THOSE GIRLS WHAT DANCING REALLY IS NGHJBGHJDGHJDG

 

I started with Somi's dance today. Great ep so far

except for that... what are they doing exactly?
