#oki fuka

I have literally downloaded an apk for the universe app to be able to vote since it isn't in available in belgium for some reason,, so I have deserved the right to ramble about my favorite girls on this program.

yes, there ARE 10 trainees here instead of 9, but that's because I have a 4th J-GROUP trainee I want to talk about. other than mnet, I did want to keep the ratio to keep it fair, so I have 3 faves per group here!

let's go!

K-GROUP: kang ye seo (4mintue's crazy)

I've talked about her before, so I won't go too into this one, but I AM a sucker for talent+a good attitude (looks at jinhyuk and hangyul out of the corner of my eye), and yeseo really ticks these boxes! she's also very very adorable and pretty :) right now, she's at position 2 on the show, so I'm hopeful for her doing well

K-GROUP: huening bahiyyih (apink's mr. chu)

if y'all know me, this one was to be expected... I don't want to be biased purely because she's kai's sister, but it rlly was inevitable. honestly, though, I have a soft spot for all of the huening siblings (we know lea and bahiyyih through youtube) because they're so sweet. I also feel like it's inevitable that bahiyyih turns out to be really talented if she takes after her siblings, but I feel like she lacked some confidence in her audition which I honestly can't blame her for. I hope she gets a confidence boost!! her vocals and dance were both very stable, but due to the lack of aura or presence it didn't really stand out. so with some practice and getting used to this situation, I feel like bahiyyih will get pretty far! I hope she gets a good part in fiesta, because that could really leave a good mark.

K-GROUP: seo young eun (nct127's kick it)

HER KICK IT PERFORMANCE BLEW ME AWAY

that's sUCH a hard song to pull off, let alone for girls, let alone for girls who literally 10 seconds before were introducing themselves so bubbly. I really cannot wait for what she will do in the future and I'm also so happy for her that she's in top 9 right now. she really deserved it. her dancing and her voice are both very alluring, so she catches your eye and hoLDS it. she demands attention when she performs. I hope she keeps up her streak. I also really like her teammate ji ah, so I'm voting for her cell and not young eun's.

K-GROUP: choi yu jin (hyuna's bubble pop)

it takes so much confidence to present yourself like this, so I can't even imagine how it must be for an idol who has debuted 7 years ago. I felt really bad for her, but yujin is also an absolute angel as far as I know, and as we have established I like good attitudes. the calm way in which she handled that call-out made me really respect her even more. she will be pretty popular, so I'm currently not voting for her, but I'm voting for her cell instead!

J-GROUP: sakamoto mashiro ((g)i-dle's dumdi dumdi)

even if I'm not that big of a fan of the song, I can recognize how absolutely stable her vocals were while doing that choreo. aside from that, her talent has been proven before by being part of yup, so she has had a thorough training and I feel like she'll be quite strong!

J-GROUP: nonaka shana (blackpink's boombayah)

she looks so so sO sweet and her voice was clear as glass during that boombayah performance! she looks quite innocent but I feel like she'd be able to pull through with some reversed charms (like the girlies from the crazy stage did). I do hope she won't focus on purely cute, because that does get old for me fast. I wouldn't normally pick someone like shana out, but she grabbed my attention with her amazing vocals.

J-GROUP: oki fuka (mamamoo's gogobebe)

fuka did a lot of the rap bits in the stage, which really surprised me. it was stable and right, the opposite of what I expected her to do if you look at her profile pic (sorry!). she deservedly got top9 candidate, and I feel like she has some more to prove. I honestly fear for her a bit, but I hope the future performances make her stand out more!

C-GROUP: su rui qi (chungha's snapping)

I followed her in youth with you 2, so I was really excited to see her back! and she's just as good as I remember to be, maybe even better! she's really made to fill an ace position, and I feel confident she will. she's eye-catching and confident without seeming arrogant, a balance most struggle to find and which will be a strong plus going forward.

C-GROUP: gu yi zhou (hwasa's maria)

maria is such an incredibly hard song to pull off, with its advanced choreo and how the low pitch is followed by a full vocal line in the chorus. the way her and her teammate ate that without embarrassing themselves completely is sUCH a feat. gu yi zhou is also very very pretty and she really just stood out to me. I'm not too sure about her chances yet, so I look forward to seeing more of her hopefully!

C-GROUP: xu zi yin (sunmi's siren)

once again,, a super hard song to do, you either pull it off or you get ready to sink in the ground. even more so if the original singer is literally sitting right in front of you as you do it and is supposed to grade you after... I can't even imagine. xu zi yin also seems like quite the sweetheart, so I hope to get to know her better soon!
