Is anyone watching JYP A2K Survival Show?

I'm watching it!!

And, I'll say that it is okay so far.

I'll be honest, none of the girls have really stood out for me. They are all very cute/pretty, but I haven't really picked a favorite yet.

Also, so far, only 6 or so people have gone through to the next round. That's not a lot of people? I'm assuming maybe 4 or 5 more girls will be going through to the next round. Which would make about 9-11 or so girls to choose from, which doesn't seem like a lot when you have shows like Universe Ticket with like 82 contestants.

But yeah, I'm watching it, and I will continue to watch it, but I'm meh about it.

I'm interested to see what the final group will look like though. Usually JYPE GGs have at least 2 or 3 "visual" members sprinkled, but I haven't seen anyone who I would consider a "visual" by Western standards. I also haven't really seen anyone who I would consider a "stan attractor". It may be because they haven't gotten the star treatment and makeup yet.

But, as of now, I am more interested in the 2nd half of this competition when they go to train in Korea versus their time in LA.

I hate it, mustly because i have to watch that old fart Im just keep watching the show because there are Latin girls in.

It's ok so far nothing big or dramatic is happening, all the girls are talented vocally so far, the real show will start once the competition is settled

It's so hard to find a visual for a western girl group cause it always changes imo. Also I'm not sure how to feel about the 12 year old. So far none of the girls stood out to me so far.

Yeah, I agree. Western standards are also more diverse than Korean standards since it's not as homogenous. There are so many races, ethnicities, etc. I also think styling plays a large part in that as well for Western artists. Though, if I am honest, I don't know if there are many top stars in Western music who I would consider visuals in the same sense as KPOP. Like, I wouldn't necessarily consider Taylor Swift, Ariana, Adele, Miley Cyrus, or Lady Gaga visuals. Maybe Rihanna or Olivia. I think you'd have to have like model like looks to be considered a visual in the West, so maybe it's not as important as having pretty girls with good styling who are talented.

Also, I don't see the 12 year old debuting in this group. I think 5 out of the 6 girls who have been chosen to move on have been 16/17, and a 12 year old is too young for that. I think she is going to be like Lily and Somi. Where she doesn't make the final cut to debut, but she ends up continuing to train at JYPE.

I'm watching it, but really I just wanna know if any Black girls will make the cut. I don't care too much about the process. I want to see the results.
