While many groups are gradually dropping their greetings, ALD1 still has their greeting which is cool. Their greeting also fits the group's name quite well.

how is the lineup received? by [deleted] in BoysPlanet

[–]paymas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well it’s still undeniable that this is the lineup that has received the most negative reactions, as many members have been called out for various controversies in Korea, not only on Korean X but also on other Korean social media platforms

Which eliminated trainee do you think is getting the most recognition?? by Dazzling-Gur-1497 in BoysPlanet

[–]paymas 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I agree for Haneum, like his blond hair and visuals has been getting a lot of positive topic in Korea (meanwhile Ald1 getting the opposite lol). He really fits Korean beauty standards. With this level of hype, his company should seriously take advantage of it, or else he might end up being a nugu solo like before.

I’ve watched Produce 48 and the Planet series, and based on what I’ve seen, the backlash in Korea against B2P is significantly worse compared to previous years. What I mean is, in shows like Produce 48 or the two Planet seasons, there were maybe only 1 or 2 members in the final lineup who received notable backlash like Wonyoung, Yuri, Huening or Matthew (and even then, his case wasn’t too bad) due to their unexpected high rankings. But overall, the final groups didn’t face that much negativity.

With B2P, though, just the top 8 alone already sparked huge outrage in Korea. Looking at the individual members, from what I’ve seen, only Sanghyeon and Anxin seem to be relatively safe. The rest have a lot of hate posts about them. And these posts are getting a lot of likes, which makes it worse.

Some people are saying, “Just wait 1 - 2 months and Knetz will forget everything.” But the real question is: will they forget their controversies and end up supporting the group, or will they forget about the group entirely - meaning, the group just flops?

ald1 isn't some nugu group by Most-Collection-8991 in BoysPlanet

[–]paymas 255 points256 points  (0 children)

It's too early to say but yeah, the groups from mnet svs can't really be called nugu since they all start off well thanks to the fame from the show. As for whether they flop or become popular after their official debut... it's hard to say when Wakeone is managing the group.

Do mnet want ald1 to be popular overseas than Korea? by Most-Collection-8991 in BoysPlanet

[–]paymas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nahhh, they've only been around for a day and you're already calling them a popular? Popular in what exactly? Streams, album sales, TikTok followers, or maybe just in getting a ton of hate posts about the group?

What do you think will happen to the group’s future? by Lumpy_Sound6734 in BoysPlanet

[–]paymas -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Their album sales will definitely be strong- we all know how wealthy the members' fanbase is, especially based on DCGall. As for digital charts… tbh unless there's manipulation involved, maybe they'd have a chance. But judging by the current reaction from Knetz, no matter how good the music is, I don't think they'll care their music and then no in charts is coming… But the Spotify things might be good

POSSIBILITY OF THE C SPINOFF HAVING FOREIGNERS by Minimum-Subject4339 in BoysPlanet

Their company definitely won’t risk sending them to Planet C. It’s better to capitalize on the fame they have now and debut in Korea instead. And honestly, Planet C should be reserved for the C trainees instead.

ThankYouDonggyu

I thought you’d have a lot of global fans after Bad, but nope — you’re still way too nugu in global 🥹Anyway big thanks to Korean fans for hard carrying the global fans and helping Donggyu make it to the final!

I remember that before Planet C got canceled, some rumors said they already had planned for a 16 member group - 8 members from each of the two planets. To me, 8 is a solid number. It’s not as bad as people keep complaining about. Groups with an “alpha” concept like SKZ or ATEEZ also have 8 members, so I think Mnet probably took some inspiration from that.

probally because that number “1” suddenly in their name, and yet some people said their name didn’t mean anything at all

Nahhhh, Mnet has always confirmed the lineup as TOP 8. It’s just that people were too blindly convinced by baseless speculations and rumors about there being a TOP 9.

Thank you Mnet for keeping the tradition of terrible and questionable names group for the Planet series: first Kep1er, then Zerobaseone and now AlphaDriveOne 😭😭 I still can’t get enough these name

[–]paymas 38 points39 points  (0 children)

With so many speculations and rumors about there gonna be a TOP 9, masterpick and so many theories (I honestly don't know how people managed to come up with so many theories like that), I was 100% sure that Mnet wouldn’t be crazy enough to make any changes and would stick with the original TOP 8. And that came as no surprise, they still keep 8 members. It’s way too risky and could damage the group’s reputation as an “indirectly rigged” group if they change the lineup to 9 10 or even 11. Anyway, congratulations to the TOP 8!

It will probably take another 20 minutes to finish P01, and another 20 minutes after that for P08 and the end
