The first second they showed Yu on the show he looked like young jungkook and I knew he will be a debut member. also first second Tomoya was on camera we all knew, right?
Interesting perspectives. I will confess Seita grew on me and in the last few group performances his skills really shone and now in the MV for miracle I think he could easily end up a visual for the group. Yuki always had me, the kid is a natural and reminds me so much of a young Han and so when 3Racha were judging and Han was naturally drawn to Yuki's skills it was no surprise to me. I'm actually a fan of this whole line-up and I think they're all evenly talented and really compliment each other in terms of the overall visual of the group. I was holding a torch for Sean though. I really think he could've added something to the group, especially in terms of personality dynamic and he had such a beautiful and unique vocal sound. I'm not surprised that Eiji and Miraku were not picked. It had nothing to do with skills, they didn't have the right 'look' for what JYPE wanted for this group and I having been a prof dancer I know what it's like to go through audition trials and make it to the top 10 and then be told - you're just not the right 'look' for the group. It stings like hell. I wish those both well coz they definitely have the skills. As for Tomoya as leader - 100% Perfect!
I think I knew Seita was debuting once Heartbeat happened. He had the iconic opening rap and absolutely slaughtered it. If that hadn’t worked the entire thing would have fallen apart.
Ken's moment, for me, was in Come Back When You Hear This Song, at the end of the rap when he said 미안해 그리고 사랑해 (I'm sorry. And I love you). The acting and timing of that line was perfect. That's when I said oh, he's definitely debuting.
Seita sealed it in the last performance. I am mad that Eiji didn't show more emotion or even a wink after his line would have sealed it because his dance always draws me in. He had so many opportunities it's frustrating.
My heart hurting cause Eiji did not end up debuting, but it doesn't mean he should replace Seita . And I feel Seita is like a vital member in the group ever since the friend letter thingy they had, and most of it is for Seita. So I feel that he will be like the rock that members can confide with cause he is a good listener and makes members at ease
