It's comments like these I wished....

a concept like Z-POP is successful. It's annoying how Kpop companies still have a very opposite view on what ''global'' audition and group means. They been doing this for years and I don't expect anything to change anytime soon. I believe there are many stans who want to see more diversity in Kpop, and not jsut the usual koreans, japanese and chinese. Maybe there are people who want to keep that way and that's fine. But I think Kpop should progress from that mindset now.

I really want kpop to be more inclusive but a lot of stans don't like it and can only have east asian people as idols(some don't even like that!). Even an Indian idol is a problem and Indians are asians!.

Yeah, but luckily, I see a growing number of fans who see the same as we do :)

it's still risky for them rn imo. Lisa is probably the best success kpop ever had but its 1 girl among the hundreds of idols. Of course there are some others like bambam but still risky path, especially for smaller companies

But Mnet is a huge company and can afford to take those risk imo.

i don't think so, especially for a survival show where first public opinions and starting building fanbase very early is extremely important or will lead to massive differences (produce/idol school).

I see your point. Just wished another company than the ones who did Zpop, tried again with better results.
