Since the very beginning of Produce 101, we've had like 5-6? reality shows. Showing literally the same:
- Pretty faces but with not much substance. Almost no hidden talents. Some of them can barely hold a note (even when everyone already knows these shows have pre recorded vocals).
- Few standout personalities.
- Same failure sad experience from contestants that already debuted in other groups.
- Lookalike clones from other big groups
- Literally the exact SAME format. Nothing changed, AT ALL. MNET didn't even try to make something new.
The worst thing about it, is that despite the whole manipulation controversy from past reality shows, MNET still got away with it and fans are STILL hyped about the show lol
