JYP's A2K group to debut this year (2023)

Quote from Teudungi21

I really liked Kaylee. She was so charismatic but yeah she is quite young. So I was kinda of curious why JYPE even accepted her for the show and not just ask her to be a trainee.

idkk but probaby to build up a fanbase or smth. i mean after sixteen, onces still had an eye out for natty right? so maybe its like that...

A2K group debuting this year is as old as when they were auditioning last September, that's just how long it's been speculated by mostly Financial Advisors.

JYPE has made no date on when A2K will debut so don't be surprised if it's not this year.

Yeah, I still don't know wtf happened with Melissa.

She's best raw vocalist on there. She must be a terrible dancer, but I still don't see her being so bad she didn't even make it to Korea just with her vocal talent.

A lot of people on Twitter are surprised about that.

Might be character evaluation, to be honest. I don't see her interacting very much with the other girls - they seem to largely leave her alone, or she has some awkward moments with them. Like when they were all clustered around Yuna after the dance evaluations, she was the last one to go to the group. Could be a loner mentality. Even Kendall, who is rather shy, can be seen hugging and bonding with some of the others. We'll see how well Melissa does in the group performance.

Alternatively, given what she has shared so far about her relationship with her father, maybe it was a parent-stop thing. Like how Suzu from Nizi Project Season 1 eventually turned down the offer to go to Korea, even though she had been selected as one of the participants.

That's true too.

It would have to be something like that tbh.

Not trying to be mean, but the vocal capabilities (like raw vocal talent without training) seems to be lacking overall from the selected contestants. The only ones I see that seem to have natural talent for singing are Melissa, KG, and Camilla.

So, I'd really hate to think JYPE would choose some of the other girls over Melissa based on a talent thing. Especially since the other main vocal contestant, KG, also sucks at dancing.
