Aw so much flack for our dear Sohye! If this were like American Idol or something, I would get it, but this is for an idol group, where the pre-requisites for being an idol don't require talent at all lol. They just require a commitment to hard work, and the ability to captivate and interest the public, which Sohye has done. Sure, acting was her thing, but obviously she has an interest in performing now, otherwise she would have dropped out like those other 3 trainees who quit. She works so hard, and actually shows progress (unlike my poor bb Risa lmao), and she's so humble. She knows she's not the best, which is why she cried so much at making top 11, and said that if the people that voted for her see something in her, that she'll keep working hard. Sohye fighting
What I don't get, is the flack for Kim Sejoung, just because apparently Jelly Fish is under CJ E&M (lol or whatever the companies name is?) Sejoung really is like... S. Korea's Acchan, or Nacchi. It's no wonder to me that she's on top. She just has "it," and is able to appeal to more than just idol fans. Anyway, people are going to be unhappy no matter the final lineup lol. Like with Twice. Like with every season of KPOP Star ever hahaha.
Regarding the rest of the top 11... while I love Cathy and Chaeyeon, it's not fair that they still have DIA to go back to after this. I don't get the hype around Dani (she's like... YoonA around SNSD's debut, I just don't get the appeal) and Pinky I don't get either. She's pretty, so I guess she's coasted this far on visuals alone, but she doesn't really do anything? Kim Nayoung (the final Jellyfish trainee) hasn't gotten much screen time, and has flown under the radar a bit, so that she's ranked so high is weird to me.
I would swap any of those five for Yeunjung (the girl who hit all of the high notes and runs in blue team's "Into the New World") because the group needs some more power vocals. The rest of the lineup I am happy with though lol.
