Mnet is pushing Dayeon so hard its unfair, it reminds me of how they made wonyoung #1 when everyone was expecting sakura in produce 48 [ i have so much to say ]

Naah given how dayeon eats most of the trainees in talent this was very natural...

this happens every season.. woojin climbed up, seungwoo and seungyoun climbed up... these people were so talenetd that it got hard to overlook, so when they were actually given some screentime the public noticed how good they are..

Cai bing may be getting some evil editing right now but she was the one who got one of the best editing towards the first few episodes...

Some girls themselves complained that they dont want cai bing as leader so that says something bro... its not just mnet... not saying cai bing is evil but she definitely does not have what it takes to be a leader which is okay.. not everyone can be a leader.. its not an easy job either which is why many dont even try..

and yes dayeon eats in talent, there was a reason she was the centre..

I am sure those girls participating in the show know better than us fans and they have said they prefer dayeon over cai bing so case closes over there

Quote from ShipIsSailing

It definitely didn't seem gradual, her votes just exploded after that leadership propaganda episode. Only yujin was k group candidate who was getting attention, i didn't even knew dayeons name before that episode

you didnt know who was the centre selected on a performance basis for the intro song ... ?? the centre in the mv? the person who did the mission the best??

then you probably dont even care about the talent or performance aspect of the show..

nvm I was wrong to even make a point

Quote from SooYoung

no i think dayeon evolution is pretty natural

she didn't stand out the first 4-5 episodes a lot because she didn't have much screentime with Mnet pushing Yujin as the #1 korean trainee

but since IC people have discover, the great leadership skills and dance skills of dayeon

+ the way she treated her teamates by trying to give all of them their own center part

she's talented, a great leader, and she always put her team first before herself in contrary of Cai bing

that's why Dayeon deserve to debut

The fact is Mnet picks and choose what they want to feature, and it's all deliberate with their own agenda behind it.

Suyeon was outshining Dayeon in the beginning but Mnet didn't decide to show the good things Suyeon did with her team and others. Instead they chose to focus on Dayeon over other trainees. There's nothing "natural" about wanting to show Dayeon so much over many trainees, including showing her mother and her restaurant. This is preplanned with Mnet's own goal in mind, and that is to have Dayeon be "top one" in the final group.

yeseo is better.

Cai Bing, Doah, Yeseo, Bora, Suyeon and a couple of others are/were being short changed so Dayeon pulls ahead.

Quote from LilWayne199

yeseo is better.

I didnt even talk about yeseo but sure lol whatever sails your boat

Quote from ShipIsSailing

I was not being lliteral

I checked on Wikipedia and Her ranking in 3rd and 5th episode was 9th among korean members, and even more worse overall. So her jump to currently #2 ranked candidate on the show wasn't "gradual", that's what i wanted to say

Stop trying to act so edgy with your frog gifs

had no clue frog gifs were edgy but okay lol

Also you are just a bitter cai bing stan... too bad that girls from even the c-group dont think she fits as a leader for them..

Dayeon was rising already due to the ice cream leader edit and deserved too imo. She's really talented and has a great personality. Some other trainees could learn a thing or too from her. Looking at you Shoot team. You've got to make things happen for you.

However, she tends to get overshadowed by others and that doesn't make her center material at all. She's the debut group's leader and Korean spokesperson at best but not the center.

Yes Cai bing was evil edited but she didn't help her situation tbh. She didn't deserve the drastic drop though that was just mean.

exactly my point. just like how the U + I team had nothing to do with Dayeon, yet the whole segment was about Dayeon

Kinda agree, never saw anyone being hard pushed like her in this ep. Yes, she's talented, but the reason she stand out so much in Ice Cream was her insanely long center time, which makes me question her as a leader that put the team first.

We have no idea what happens behind the scenes. Dayeon could have gotten some help with the choreography and then they pass it off as if she's some genius who came up with everything on her own. Just speculation, but it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility considering what Mnet has done in the past.

There are many trainees who are deserving but Mnet just doesn't want to focus on them, they spend precious broadcasting time around making Dayeon look good.

I have no doubt this will be the least popular of the Produce Series Girl Groups

I think people were already sick of Mnet's BS even before GP999 aired, a lot of these things people are getting upset about now were always a part of the show in the past but people gave Mnet the benefit of the doubt and they were forgiven somewhat, but now people are taking a more Zero Tolerance perspective on Mnet and their ways

well good thing she got the screentime cause she needs to make it to the group otherwise with the current lineup they are bound to flop .. she was robbed off her screentime in the first few episodes anyways

she was bound to make top 9 even before today's episode. MNET is just trying to ensure that Rank 1 is Korean thats all. in the only way possible, now that they can't physically rig the votes anymores

I thought my interest in the show was waning simply due to my favorites being out or having little chance to continue

Then Yanning surged up the rankings this episode, but it hasn't got me excited again for the show? If anything I am even more disappointed? than I was before

I wonder how many other people are feeling the way I am, like there were few on AllKpop who were more active in GP999 threads than I was, I watched every single Introduction Video and familiarized myself with all 99 Contestants, waiting for each new Episode was all I thought about during the week, Girls Planet became my Hobby I stopped being interested in any other Kpop over the last few Months it was all GP999

Now I only really care about prediction stuff and seeing if I was right, I honestly feel kinda done with the show and just want it to be over already so I can see what the final lineup is

Even if all my Favorites get in, Suyeon, Yanning, Hikaru

I don't think I really care about the Show or the final Group anymore

I agree, without being able to rig votes, this is the only way they can do this. However, what upsets me is that this takes away from other kgroup members as well.. like yeseo who is in a massive fight for the top 9, if more of her votes go to dayeon, then she is done.

do you really think mnet will let a C or a J trainee be #1?

no absolute chance.. the gp support already isnt that big this time and if that happens then the group is done for.. my bet for centre was yeseo but it seem dayeon will be one which is better cause I honestly think she is way more talented anyways.. yeoseo will make it too because girl is talented + a visual, they wont let her go too

Quote from ShipIsSailing

So basically you are justifying mnet scripting and running a narrative to manipulate the lineup through propaganda because otherwise you think without dayeon the group is gonna flop (are you some future teller?), never seen so stupid justification

are you watching a mnet show thinking it would be 100% fair... rather than a talentless trainee getting more screentime (which happened a lot on the first half of the show) I would easily prefer the talented ones getting to show off what they can do so public votes shift towards what can actually make a better group..

and yes dayeon was robbed of her deserving screentime (both other J and C centres received it better than her so she was the only one left out) so its better they are compensating it right now

Sure but like you say it's just speculation. I'm just going off of what I saw.

This dayeon push is gonna backfire though somewhat. People might be put off and decide to vote another k trainee instead.

Wonyoung wasn’t pushed nearly as much. In fact I haven’t seen such blatant favoritism in any of the Produce seasons like I saw during the latest episode. Dayeon is talented and seems nice but Mnet is overdoing it.

GP999 is a mess in general honestly (not the fault of the girls obviously). No wonder it is a complete non factor in Korea and everyone has shifted towards Street Woman Fighter instead. I don’t know if they’ll make a male version next year (I was sure they would at the beginning but now not as sure), but if they do they’ll have to change a lot of things.

Quote from ninichan

im pretty sure dayeon had a stable fanbase before the leadership thing
she was k4 iirc? i voted for her. she's been portrayed as the underdog all along.

this is definitely not that sudden, its a gradual thing

She was K9 before the leadership thingy.

Making Shoot team screentime being about another trainee and showing her mom and everything is too much. Even Sohye screentime wasn't nearly this bad. Hoping that next eps they push the trainees in a more natural way.

Quote from icyruios

This week we have Shoot Team visiting DAYEON'S MOTHER, and then they headed off to DAYEON'S DAD'S RESTAURANT. I wouldn't even be surprised at this point if the Sweet Potato guy was DAYEON'S UNCLE. Maybe the guys at the parachute are DAYEON'S BROTHERS WHO KNOWS?

Basically, Shoot team was working as Dayeon promoters this episode - talking about Dayeon with her mom, watching Dayeon's childhood photos, performing for Dayeon's mom, calling Dayeon to talk with her mom, advertising her dad's restaurant, and, the most hilarious (I think) thing, they had an entire segment where Shoot girls had to write letters to Dayeon Why that was even necessary?

Vote for Cai Bing! DON'T LET MNET AND THEIR EVIL MANIPULATION WIN!!

I think this was part of Mnet's planning. They may have suggested to Dayeon and the mentors to have her be very prominent in the choreo so she stands out when it's broadcast
