With a competition full of minors, if I was the mom of one of the trainees, I'd raise hell if my child was stripped of sleep, a way to communicate with me and others and was overworked to the point of people falling asleep during auditions etc. Entertainment agencies are creepy enough for taking away literal children from their families and banning phones and communication with family and friends from them, they really isolate them, but Mnet is especially snakey. They want those girls tired and isolated so there'll be more drama.
GP999 intentionally not providing translators to foreign trainees for drama and taking away their phones so they can't communicate with anyone doesn't sit right with me

this works both ways:
Korean girls have it harder because they lead foreign trainees in most times
and c-group, and j-group has it harder because of lack of language skills
also have you thought that they are maybe testing which girls will 'click' together, as well as which will do well when schedule is hectic, and they get small amount of sleep - just like pro Idols usually do when they are in promotion period?

I don't really care if they're 'testing the girls', the industry is not good to idols and there need to be stricter laws about children working in the industry. They need to have better working conditions in general. It's weird to be capping for overwork and exploitation, especially considering how much companies make from overworking young idols and how little the idols themselves make.

They didn't provide translators? I remember one team communicates in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese and it seems like they communicate well. I believe there is translators.
The eliminated girls revealed that they asked for translators and at times they told them no because they wanted them to struggle for the show.

More Mnet snakethuggery?

You have followed K-pop for no more than 1 month, huh? K-pop has never been a good place for a kid and plausibly never will be.

They had interpreter only for limited time it seemed. You can also hear moments where trainees attempted to communicate with broken Korean/English + gesture.

Read my other posts in the thread. I've followed K-pop for close to 15 years unfortunately.

You're right
