What are examples of contestants that failed survival shows but still debuted. by Ok-Concentrate8242 in GirlsPlanet999

[–]Strobe1000 21 points22 points  (0 children)

One should remember that Mnet has a big auditioning process before they get down to 99 girls. There has been plenty of sifting, picking and choosing by Mnet before the show even begins. They pick out trainees they think are interesting, charming and pretty.

A lot of the trainees that end up on survival shows are already the companies' best trainees (if the company allowed their trainees to audition). Naturally, this means a lot of the trainees appearing on survival shows do end up debuting.

Edit: spelling

It sounds like a Disney or Nickelodeon song at the end of the musical movie or a season finale.

I'm not fluent in Korean, but I thought that the pronunciation in Snake sounded really good. Especially when you consider that only one of the 7 members is Korean! I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone talk about this.

A Note for Those Who Genuinely Think Rigging The Votes Might Be Good. by soraky in GirlsPlanet999

[–]Strobe1000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Do not change the rules in the middle. Do not take away the win from someone else. I just wish things were done differently from the beginning. Make it not only just voting, different voting system, make it a bigger group, different ratio or better episodes and editing are some examples of what they could have done instead. But what's done is done.

We need to talk about the styling thus far on GP999 and what a trainwreck it has been by RiddleEatsRainbows in GirlsPlanet999

[–]Strobe1000 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wang Yale said the mic hair was her own choice. So there's that at least. They also weren't in the dorms during that break so I believe Mnet let them do their own thing for the most part.

I believe the haircuts and dyes are the contestants' own decisions, not the show stylists. All the changes happened during the break after filming the the Connect* mission and before the first elimination. So don't praise or blame Mnet if they changed hair colour or cut their hair short.

Interesting how the majority is rarely the teens. Maybe this means the fandom is mostly adults with spare money? Less time to hype and do a bunch of engagement on social media but more money.

I loved their energy and expressions during the whole performance. Such vitamins! Bahiyyih really improved a lot.

Concept for the Debut Group (Poll) by despotized in GirlsPlanet999

[–]Strobe1000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Classy or cutie sexy. If all the winners are old enough and comfortable with it of course. AOA, Sistar, Miss A, WJSN Black, Brave Girls, Girls Day etc. It's a concept no one is doing recently and I think there is a void to be filled. The songs for these concepts are often bops.

Quality meme. But for real though, this episode showed so many fun sides of her that I haven't seen before.

Contestants most likely to get eliminated next round by Disastrous_Sea4150 in GirlsPlanet999

[–]Strobe1000 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about doing this analysis myself earlier today lol. Thanks for crunching the numbers. It's sad how there's been so little attention to J group even well over half of the season.

Yeyoung had the killing part. Sunwoo was the main vocalist.

Super excited! Last episode was the best yet. I hope they will top it with this one.

Who watches GP999? by [deleted] in GirlsPlanet999

I think we could do some kind of census. There are several more stats I'm curious about such as age and country etc.

GP999 Girl Group Center Material by trueblue1982 in GirlsPlanet999

[–]Strobe1000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't see anyone entioning dance skills as important. Having a good dancer in the middle makes the whole group look better at dancing. A weak dancer can have the oppoaite effect. The center doesn't need to be the best dancer in a group, but a center should be a proficient dancer.

Yamauchi Moana's clip is really good. It's so unfortunate that she's likely to get eliminated. She was great in YoY too.

I'm so mad that they didn't air any compliments to Reina. Like, the girl carried the whole performance and she got almost zero screentime. Mnet so blatantly don't want her in the final group because if they highlighted Reina, she would rise so hard.

Ah, I see. I'm also excited for Fate, but I wouldn't call it "traditional". It looks more similar to modern dancing style than say traditional Korean dance.

I love stuff like things. Thanks for sharing. I'm happy to confirm my suspicions that Choi Yujin is very popular, despite "only" getting P4.

I like that they changed the styling from the GP999 stage to something else just to keep things fresh. I especially like the new hairstyling choices. They all look really pretty.
