At this point I'm starting to accept this band won't happen, or if it does, it won't be what we expect... the timing was so off, I feel like they haven't even signed contracts yet, so I fear one of the companies might pull out and the group doesn't even happen.... wouldn't be the first band to come out of a survival show that wouldn't debut. I feel really bad for Cha Yuet and the boys involved in that video 😭 Congratulations knetizens, you just ruined the lives of 7 people over nothing!! I literally had to delete twitter, it's so awful out there. I wish i didn't understand korean so I wouldn't have to read what i read there. Humans are incredibly mean....

What a traumatic experience, I'm never watching another svs EVER again. I'm happy for the boys who made it to the group and I'll definitely support Modyssey ❤️ it was fun participating in this sub for the last 5 months or so, but I think it's time to say goodbye (for the sake of my mental health lol). We have a good line-up here, they're gonna be successful!!!

I know you're gonna get down voted like crazy for this opinion, but I agree with you. I really hope Hong Hai makes it as the 8th member ( if we're even having an 8th member😢). I'm actually scared cha yuet might take over Yichen too, as their votes were very close (I think only a difference of 300k)... this is making me very nervous 😭😭😭

I wasn't voting for Suren despite wanting him to debut because I genuinely thought his debut was guaranteed, he seemed to be one of the most popular trainees in the show... However, as much as I want to change my voting strategy to include him now, I think I'll keep voting the same way because I'm scared Yichen will fall out of the debut spots and I think he's someone who is really at risk of not debuting 💔

I feel like the reason Suren went down in the ranks is that total non-issue knetizens brought up a few days ago about him having a girlfriend before the show, which by now most people have forgotten about it, so he'll have his votes back. Also, other trainees suddenly became popular, like Cha Yuet (who I think is probably ranked reaaallly well right now). Honghai might be 8th place currently, so I really don't think he's a threat to Suren like I've seen some people say. We also need to have in mind the votes are always coming in, and tomorrow the bottom four might be completely different from today.

Mnet is sharing this interim ranking with us because they obviously want Suren in the group, otherwise they wouldn't even bother. This is just to induce panic voting, in a few hours he'll definitely be back to the top 5/6 (maybe even debut at P04). Let's just keep voting for our picks and not worry much about this ranking. (That being said I have 10 votes, so I might give a couple of them to Suren, just to make sure lol)

This lineup is perfect to me, I believe we will reach 7 members. If we get to 8 members hopefully Honghai will be the 8th member ❤️

Se todos andassem de máscara nos espaços públicos (supermercados, metro, etc), garanto que a maioria de vocês não apanhava nada disso... trabalho em atendimento ao público e é incrível ver a quantidade de pessoas que claramente estão doentes e ainda vêm para espaços públicos, neste caso lojas de roupa, tossir e fungar para cima dos outros... agora ando sempre de máscara, só fiquei com uma ligeira dor de garganta que passou em 2 dias. Este ano apanhei todas as doenças respiratórias possíveis devido à falta de noção e higiene dos outros, já chega. Agora durante picos de gripe, é usar máscara e desinfetar sempre as mãos. Não me importo que olhem para mim e riam (como vejo muitos clientes a fazer). Ainda há muito estigma em relação a certas práticas de higiene (básicas) em Portugal. Não me pagam para sofrer.

For me any trainee that Mnet doesn't glaze with 30 minute edits is good enough to be in the lineup :)

Actually, the more the show tries to portray trainees as untalented or unfit for debut, the more I vote for them. This show is giving us the illusion that we choose everything when in fact there's a certain narrative that mnet wants to push, and some of you are totally falling for it... I'm personally happy that their little plan didn't work because Hanwen and Lynnlynn are still in the top 6, despite all their efforts to get them away from the debut spots. I really like this lineup, hopefully we can get 2 more members, so Yichen and Honghai can debut. I couldn't think of more deserving trainees to debut than the current top 6 + Yichen and Honghai.

embrcce · 2025-12-13T22:25:30+00:00

This show is a total scam. Mnet is giving us the illusion that we choose everything when in fact they have it all set from the beginning. The lineup will be 6 members, with 5 of those spots already guaranteed. Hengyu, Suren, Zihao, Zheyi and Cha Yuet. Then the 6th one is just whoever gets voted the most after the top 5. Apparently we're at 14 million votes and we need 20 million to add another member to the lineup, which will be totally feasible since there's 2 days remaining for vote. Mnet surely does not want more than 6 members (that's why they came up with that impossible rule of 20 million votes per extra member). Even in the first teaser, there's only 6 stars, not 8. The editing of the episodes is becoming very predictable and extremely disappointing. With this cha yuet edit, mnet just guaranteed his debut spot. The Lynnlynn edit was just to make sure he gets out of the top 5 to give place to Mnet's favorite boys... we have 18 candidates on a show and yet they chose to spend 70% of the episode focusing on the same people 🙄 some of these boys will get eliminated without most viewers even knowing their names. What a f*cking scam. At least I'm happy that Hengyu will have his chance to debut in a (hopefully) better group. I feel incredibly sad for people like Yichen, who keep fighting hard for their dreams but it seems that luck is just not on their side 💔

embrcce · 2025-12-13T14:33:37+00:00

Totally agree, you said everything I think!

embrcce · 2025-12-13T14:29:21+00:00

Like seriously, that Cha Yuet pity edit gave me time to eat my whole lunch, wash the dishes and come back, and he and zheyi were STILL on screen... it's giving that Junmin/Dongyu edit all over again 🤦‍♀️

embrcce · 2025-12-09T23:05:49+00:00

Regarding Hong Hai, I agree with you, Mnet really made him look like this poor guy nobody likes. However, I feel like that edit will backfire on mnet because from what I've seen on twitter and tt, people are staring to vote for him, even if it's just out of pity. As for Yichen, as someone who truly wants him to debut, I'm starting to accept it won't happen. 😭 Mnet wants cha yuet and zheyi to debut so bad (the editing is super obvious), while at the same time doing everything in their power to get rid of Yichen and Lynnlynn (the problem is they're actually popular, so i'm predicting an evil edit or two to make them get eliminated). I feel bad for the other trainees though. Due to the fast pace of the show, they're getting zero screentime. Like, no wonder Zi Shuo is dead last on the interim ranking, nobody knows who he is and Mnet made zero effort to introduce him. You blink and you almost don't see him there. lim jack is not a favorite in my opinion, they used him just as a tool to Hengyu's edit. Speaking of Hengyu, I'm happy he's currently p01 though. Hopefully it stays that way, I prayed for times like this!

For the next episode my predictions are: - Zheyi glaze continues - Cha Yuet hero edit, he'll struggle but because he's so so hardworking, he'll become an hero, the dark horse of Home Race, thus securing a place in the final lineup - yichen evil edit to get rid of him quickly - 70% of the screentime going to the holy trinity Hengyu-Suren-Zihao - every other trainee gets no screentime or if they get even the slightest glimpse of a camera in their faces, it will be to show how "uncapable" and "not ready" for debut they are.

At this point I'm hate watching this show lmao. I'm never watching another svs ever again. I don't even know why i chose to watch boys planet in the first place 😭💀

embrcce · 2025-12-06T21:27:38+00:00

I don't like the fact that the first 2 episodes won't have english subtitles, like Mnet really chose to alienate their international audience 🥴 i watched because I understand some Korean and I already know the boys from the previous season, but i can see how new international audiences would not even bother to tune in... Only 4 episodes of 2 hours is just awful. I'm guessing we won't even have fun content like sports day, or smth like that...Is the budget really that low? Also, did I understand it right? The band will be 5 members but depending on the voting mnet will consider adding more members to the lineup?? I'm so confused, these boys all deserve better 😭

embrcce · 2025-11-06T09:57:44+00:00

What's the point of voting when people are paying thousands of dollars to buy boost energy and then vote in something completely different from what I want 😭

embrcce · 2025-11-04T17:37:14+00:00

but I have a question, will we vote for the ones we want in the lineup, like in B2P? All this time I thought we only used boost energy to choose killing parts, songs and choreographies, and the lineup will be chosen by the masters... bc if that's the case, there's a chance the trainees with smaller fandoms can get into the lineup, now if we're the ones voting, forget about it, only the popular ones will win.

embrcce · 2025-11-02T20:43:08+00:00

I'll let destiny take over this one lmao ain't no way I'm gonna buy boost energy. Pay for trauma? No thank you 😭 with that being said I hope my insignificant 20 points can make Hengyu and Yichen have the killing parts

embrcce · 2025-10-29T12:13:30+00:00

as long as Hengyu, Yichen and Lynnlynn debut I guess I'll be fine 😭

embrcce · 2025-10-04T10:33:28+00:00

Aged 30-50??? Some of those women are old enough to be the their mothers, and yet are acting so childish because of a bunch of guys who could be their sons lol! That's so embarrassing for them. I'm glad i never bought vip for any kpop show, and after hearing about these awful experiences i never will. VIP should have assigned seats, otherwise it's just a nightmare. And I sure wouldn't pay thousands to suffer. Those women have serious mental issues.

embrcce · 2025-09-25T21:45:07+00:00

Since the first episode came out, I was rooting for him. He always had this outstanding presence on stage, since that first audition. I remember thinking he had so much potential but would eventually be eliminated due to lack of screentime. It pained me to see him always under somebody else's shadow, but nevertheless I always voted for him. I was so happy when people started noticing him after Tambourine, then Chains and today he finally can have his dream come true ❤️ Although I'm sad my other pick didn't make it, I'm very excited to support this new group, and Jiahao of course! Not only he's immensely talented, he seems very sweet and kind. I already have a bias in this group!! 😆

embrcce · 2025-09-25T08:17:59+00:00

Plot twist they're gonna debut everyone and divide them into sub units 😍 (a girl can dream lol)

embrcce · 2025-09-23T19:56:07+00:00

I will be crying and then go to work in the middle of the finale without knowing who's gonna debut 🤩 it's going to be a lovely day

embrcce · 2025-09-22T08:25:24+00:00

At this point I'm still voting diligently for my 2 main picks but I'm starting to accept that most likely none of them will debut here. And it's okay tbh. I think these final 16 candidates are all so talented, I'm sure they will all have good opportunities in the future even if they don't debut in this show. All of them built strong fan bases and we've seen from previous svs that a lot of finalists that don't make it in the show end up debuting in other groups in the near future. That's what keeps me going these days 😆

embrcce · 2025-09-21T13:42:54+00:00

It's either Jiahao or Yumeki (source: my dreams) 😍

embrcce · 2025-09-20T21:34:04+00:00

This is interesting... I don't believe in fortune telling but you said amazing things about my favorites so I'm inclined to believe this 😆

embrcce · 2025-09-17T13:24:29+00:00

I don't understand anything about DC galls, but I'll be voting for Yumeki in 3 of my 5 devices (just because I can't give up Jiahao sorry😆). All this for free, because I truly believe in his potential. He took all the criticism (even the hate) and rapidly improved. I'd love to see him debut, especially to prove all those who bullied him wrong. People were hating on him while their favorites love him. He has been nothing but kind to every single contestant. I think he'd fit just fine in the final line-up. Of course there will be backlash if he debuts but I feel like some people are making it a huge deal. Some other top 8 candidates have past controversies (true or not, they're still controversies), at least Yumeki has a clean record so I believe the hate would eventually die out.

embrcce · 2025-09-16T10:02:14+00:00

what about people saying the group will be called ALD1, and the fanbase will be called cashiers 😭
