don't watch this show

This show is too cruel, how can you ask the participants to dance non-stop and only get a 30 second break, that's what's so disgusting,and I really hate this show, especially the judge on this show whose name is Lee Seung Gi, he is too stupid, and only chooses participants based on their appearance, honestly I want to ask Who is he who tells the participants to continue dancing, is he an idol, no, isn't he an actor/singer, not an idol, and the idols there are the judges for the event why them alone, i really hate the participants, this show is really disgusting, i hope lee seung gi can be replaced with someone else, he doesn't deserve to be a judge on an idol show is he not ashamed of doing this, it's really disgusting, lee seung gi is an idiot, THIS SHOW TORTURES THE PARTICIPANTS, THIS SHOW IS VERY DISGUSTING ESPECIALLY LEE SEUNG GI

SBS Is okay with Mental and Verbal abuse...?

Its amazingly sad how at this point in time at just TWO Episodes in i cant wait to see the movie/show ratings of upcoming dramas/movies on the actors ends or even the Black Oceans and no applauding that is gonna happen from the idols upcoming concerts just cause of these grown adults actions toward these young men just trying to make their way. Like if i had the money to go to a StayC concert, you bet your booty id start a boycott for the crowd NOT to clap and cheer or even to scream "We shouldn't applaud in support cause its childish". Schedules/Concerts/Shows or Training... you applaud people out of respect for the hard work they do... why would you expect any praise from anyone after treating another human being like that and EVEN WORSE a group of young apprising artists/idols. Double standards are wrong, Harsh and Cruel statements are WRONG!!! Using gaslighting, mental diversion/manipulation or making someone to feel they have done wrong by speaking out IS WRONG!!! That is not teaching them hard work or how to be determined, its straight up cruel and inhumane.

I feel so bad for Sun Ying Hao for having to sit there watching the torment they were putting them through and then trying to stop what was happening, only in turn to have Lee Seung Gi take it upon himself to shame him for speaking out, telling him that basically in a "concert" dancing for an hour straight with basically NO BREAK is what happens (not) and that his burst out would have caused the fans/audience to miss their "hard work and eager" performance cause he disrupted their flow. Also claiming that what we watched is what EVERYONE wants to see... Like tf no we don't. We don't want to see a bunch of adult senior idols (actors) tormenting young dreamers and calling it "Guiding/Mentoring/Teaching". Even more so cause half that panel of judges have been harassed and bashed before and some even in recent years by their companies, media's and in some cases group mates. It's even more horrible knowing that one of them had a LAW put in order in his honor to protect young celebrities and trainees from having to suffer the same things he did. It was just sad to see him be put in place like that and not ONE of those judges have even a little bit of a heart to jump in. The fact the he said " I'm sorry for my implusiveness" broke my heart cause he wasn't wrong!!!!

Like tf is wrong with people...? They are human beings, not soulless machines that work the way you want at the push of a button JUST cause you say to. I get wanting to test their metal and what they can do, but there were SO MANY other ways to do it without mentally hurting them or potentially crushing them from even wanting to try with false statements of "Thats how this works" or "this is what is expected" when its REALLY NOT.

Scripted or not... this show is everything that is wrong with todays world, its uncomfortable and cruel cause there are judges there that have faced situations in the past with companies that HAVE DONE THE SAME things to them and they are willing to do it to another person just cause a producer wrote it down on a piece of paper for MORE views and ratings. They do deserve the backlash [D**th threats are pushing it just a bit to far though cause that is just being extreme] but yeah they deserve to be called out for sitting there and doing nothing to fix the problem BEFORE it became one. This is not judging or mentoring and it makes me sick that they are even called Guiders when they ARENT. They are Bullies thanks to the greed of producers and staff pushing the narrative to be CRUEL instead of just using PROPER judging skills to evaluate someone's performance.

NO i am not sorry to post this or be this cruel about it cause again WHETHER SCRIPTED OR NOT, they did not take the ball in their own court to be sensible and respectful to humans just trying their best. They were cruel, rude, inhumane and nasty simply cause a piece of paper said to be [IF that was how it even happened, cause if they did so without the script THAT is even worse and I even more so don't feel sorry for my review AT ALL] So take it as this, this is my FULL opinion on the matter and yea it wont change. I wouldn't give the show even half of one star but seems I couldnt post this unless I did. I stand with Sun Ying Hao for being brave enough to speak out and Ivan for pushing even though he was having a hard time and after Episode 2, I literally cant stomach anymore of this show even if they did correct their mistakes or change how it is ran. I will happily be giving my votes to Sun Ying Hao simply just cause he did something that a lot trainees WOULDN'T have done and spoke his feelings honestly. If other continue to watch it, cool but I refuse to give live watch ratings and audience numbers to a Show that is okay with verbally and mentally abusing young people for ratings and views. Which is funny cause they will cancel people's careers for just Bullying others in high school but openly show it on public tv and it's totally okay.... The difference is I choose not to subject myself to Bully School 101. I can watch the clips on YouTube and still support the hard work of the boys from there and with my votes.

Tortura Psicológica não é entretenimento

Tomar no cu essa buceta.
Os pobres sem poder tomar um copo de água, descansar por 1min por culpa da incompetência dessa merda de produtora que acha que trainee é máquina e n gnt.
Repetir uma porra de missão por mais de 10 vezes escolhendo 1 por vez além das 2 primeiras ter sido só pra cansar eles. Deixar o pobre do chines sentado no local dos jurados só pra debulhar ele. e Lee Seunggi querido, tua empresa te roubou pouco ainda seu corno. Quero ver tu ir no seu show cantar mais de 30min sem pausa igual tu disse enquanto dança ainda.

Dont watch it its a terrible show

Js finished ep2. The judges and production team thought it was ok to torture some trainees that js got into the industry by making them dance for almost an hour non-stop with only 30seconds of breaks in between. And when a contestant called them out for it some judge asked if they came to be kpop idols or not. Honestly that specific judge went through abuse by his company and sued them im surprised he has no sympathy for these kids at all. Bro even told them thts its js dancing a few times but they danced for 18 times the song lasting 3mins each time. Disclaimer the judge is not even a dancer hes js a singer so for him to be so critical on their dancing he hardly qualified and he might aswell join them dance. And the other judge js always follow his suggestion and vote based on his choices. Dudes name is lee seunggi btw

They prefer looks over talent

Although the judging panel sucks. This whole show is entertaining to watch. I felt a littile bit (boys planet) vibes from this. They got very talented contestants, i hope they debuts with high popularity like zb1.
After boys planet project 7 is the one i started to watch. After 2,3 episodes i felt bored. I prefer Starlight boys .

I like it so far

The majority of contestants in this show have a lot of experience and so its a lot more intense and it makes for great entertainment. I cant wait to see who debuts! .....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Supporting the underdogs!

The trainees aren’t the only good-looking ones – I keep getting distracted by guider, Eric! ? My bias is Yang Yan, his latest performance of “Chk Chk Boom” was so much fun to watch! Special shoutout to CongB too, he improved so much in EP 4 and I’m really rooting for him as well. Looking forward to this week's episode on iQIYI SG. I’m getting more VIP gift cards to support both of them! ?
