and going by his reaction to receiving MVP and his rank, even he finds his rank a little unpalatable. yang chaoyue and esther yu who like you said brought the variety skills). but that his rank is a little less palatable compared to trainees of similar calibre and rank from previous seasons (e.g. They haven't said that ren yinpeng has done anything wrong or that his votes shouldn't count. i mean, who doesn't have their ideal top 11. but that as a consumer, they have the right to be unsatisfied with a product and express that (with no hate ofc). they aren't hating on the players or saying their ranks/votes are unfair. they have not once mentioned nationality/race. While the conversations about xenophobia needs to be had i feel like you are misconstruing and projecting the negative things you have read elsewhere onto u/Osisi-Ndu. The ones that aren’t are either talented in other ways or have large companies behind their backs. Who knows who has the combination of looks, personality, talent that clicks with audiences.Īnyway TLDR: its a popularity contest but don’t worry most of the popular contestants are talented. TheNINE also has a lot of A class members. In the first ever season of Produce 101, most members of IOI (the only group that wasn’t rigged) were from the A class, the audience does see talent. The silver lining is that oftentimes the best of the best is popular, and their hardwork and talent does shine through.
YANG CHAOYUE PLUS
Plus there’s usually only one “untalented” person per group. Sometimes someone who’s not considered “good enough” will make it because they either have a company backing them, or they have enough fans to carry them (Yang chaoyue, Kim sohye, Esther Yu).Īnd in defense of those “useless” idols (the ones backed by fans not the ones whose companies secured their spot), I have to say that they have definitely brought me joy in some way that compensated for their lack of dancing and singing skills, and isn’t bringing joy a job of an idol? For example, every time Yang Chaoyue opens her mouth I die laughing, the energy she brings is priceless.
YANG CHAOYUE SERIES
The harsh truth is that the Produce series is a popularity contest controlled by corporations. Theres a lot of complaints that so and so are ranked high even though they’re bad at singing and dancing, or how unfair it is that someone else is ranked lower even though they’re more talented. I often see a lot of complaints (on multiple platforms) that talent doesn’t matter, only popularity.
