Gaku and Hikaru (stage name Haku) stayed with Hybe Japan and are expected to debut this year (?) as 24kumi with 6 other members!

yeah jo’s growth is actually really insane. and he’s the most shy/quiet one out of all of & team without a doubt haha

tanasia

and yeah maki grows A LOT in a year

oh gosh sorry for leaving a third comment but maki actually did study ballet for a couple years but it was when he was really young (even younger lol)

I have no proof as I am not a trainee, but I actually see this show as a reflection of how a trainee is really trained and evaluated. They are always talking about their monthly evals. This is exactly how I perceive it would be. And the panel isn’t just a panel either. Sakura is &Teams choreographer and Soma is &Teams producer. He’s credited on so many songs. So they have a very vested interest in making the team into an idol group. Tiny details and all. Because this is THEIR group they are evaluating. Like I said, I could be way off and this isn’t what those monthly evals are like at all, but from how idols talk about them, I kind of see it just like this show. 🤔

I am so stoked for this! They were my top 2 picks watching this show originally!

I loved Gaku!! he's so talented, great personality and adorable. He will be debuting with Hikaru this year. And they are still with HYBE!

i think the big stage with that kind of atmosphere is very scary and unnatural hahahah. monthly evals probably happen in a smaller theatre like BabyMonster's or like in a dance practice room like Blackpink's and XG's. those are less intimidating spaces. for some reason this one feels very scary i would pee my pants.

I agree in that to me the drama comes from the judges. It's like the most intense part of the show and I can't imagine how it must be as an artist as well to watch this and empathize so well with the intensity because of your own experiences. Thanks for taking the time to watch this show! It's honestly really refreshing to hear the thoughts of a performer. Also the Jo criticism that Sakura does here is my villain origin story 🙂

Also! Yes! Maki pronunciation is more like Ma (like mom) and then yeah ki like key.

Ah. I see. I wasn’t thinking venue so much as performing in front of some of the most important to your future people and being nit picked to the extreme. I could see how having to adjust to the space is an added element of stress.

Yu junwon was Frist Place in Fantasy Boys - so much drama there 🙈 poor kid - I hope he gets to debut someday !

9min in but yeah the level of nitpicking was wild. When it was airing, I thought how vastly different the level of criticism between I-Land and &Audition was...
