Sophia literally just waited for her members 😂 Sophia the 1st literally. First in 62 countries, 14 members want her i their group and lastly 2 out 3 judges picked her. What an unstoppable force. 🔥
Tbh I think manon guaranteed her spot once we saw the art film. Might be a stretch but she caught the eye of so many ppl without actually showing her skills yet.
I would go with Sophia: Mission 1 Lara: Mission 3 Daniela: Mission 3 Yoonchae: Once Nayoung was eliminated Megan: During the live finale Manon: Art Film
this is correct but i’d also give lara mission 1, she was pretty much a lock since the beginning too. and for manon, the promotional photos instead of the art film - people were going crazy over her headshots. they dropped prior to the art film no?
i had a feeling Sophia will debut during the art film. When she was looking around the girls, asking them if they will play the game or not, and asking them to form a circle. She looked like a leader that time. more than her talents and visuals, her eloquence won me over. a perfect representative of the group. she had the little bits of everything.
Yoonchae was consistently popular with Nayoung throughout the competition according to votes, so it honestly could've been either one of them. Megan was actually the member pushed into the lineup by the judges pick/scoring (not meant as hate towards Megan whatsoever, as she became one of my picks after Nayoung was eliminated).
Ngl eliminating Nayoung was such a waste 😢she was giving the same vibes as Manon and idk why but she also gave Charlie’s Angels look. In my opinion she had good stage presence and vocals and I though she would at least survive till the last competition but guess not…🤷🏻♀️
Ngl form day one I always knew Manon would make it 😅 the show itself felt like they were going for a group that has “intrigue” and she just fits that so well. And I wasn’t wrong either cuz it seems like every videos’ thumbnail that talks about Dream Academy has Manson in it as she’s basically like that picture face for the show. While I do wish that the show showcased her vocals better I do think she was gonna be in the group either way. And her being the main for the art film definitely elevated her chance to get votes. Cuz let’s be honest once your invested in someone it’s hard to let go even when other contestants may rise to a bigger level 😅
Tbh i think it was the antifragile mission that cemented yoonchae's spot. They were singing live and she was honestly the best performer in that performance. For both team A and B imo and she wasnt even top 10 for me before that performance.
I have to choose Manon no mattter what cus she's Ghanaian. After that i liked Lara from the first time i saw her, i love her aura i feel very her she looks very confident and pretty
I feel like we really don't see many south Asian Americans in the western music industry, so Lara is a great addition! Saying this as a brown person of the same age!! ❤❤
Can't say that I don't agree with the judges decision though. She's very talented, has stellar stage presence, is one of the best dancers on the show, and has great chemistry with the rest of the lineup (I saw their first livestream, and the group chemistry is already great). I think she's a good fit! 👍🏼
I was honestly quite shocked at her low score by the judges considering how consistently good she was throughout the competition. Maybe she lacked star quality to them or something? 🤔🤷🏽♀️
Her vocals might be the reason. Even though she sings fine, it's not phenomenal. And in groups like this, vocals come first before dance skills. She's comparatively the same as Megan's vocals. The thing is, Megan fits the group more perfectly visually. Emily and Ezrela just look too cute for this group. Even Yoonchae, the youngest, fits better visually. I'm sure they would go places somewhere else. @@jermainerodgers
You also have to consider the voting system though. There were so many people that included Megan in their final 6 but because they could only vote for 3, it typically went to Sophia and Lara. Voting SoLa also helped the one-pickers because those two were essentially guaranteed a spot anyways. Go fan faves!
I didn't really watch Katseye performances but I did watch the last few buttons, confident and wannabe and omg Lara instantly became my bias in the whole show through confident I was desperate for her to win
Ppl who didn’t think Manon was gonna debut are dumb HYBE has been pushing her as the center of the groups from the art film even if her dancing isn’t the best you can’t stop from looking at her
I love Manson but I do feel like out of all the Katseye members she kinda lacks stage presence…😅 I try to focus on her during all the performances cuz I’m rooting for her but idk I just see myself watching the other sometimes like Emily or Ezerala those 2 has got some good a$$ stage presence
@@lilithyolanda9851stage presence don't mean crap because they still need brand deals to make money. Manon is there for that purpose. She's a visual powerhouse and like it or not that's what's gonna sell
@@lilithyolanda9851 Manon just started singing and performing during the Dream Academy less than a year while all the other girls had more experience than her that doesn’t stop her from being a good performer she can work her way to it like Jake from Enhypen
they look sooooo strong. But I have to say that the performances are so obviously pre recorded. but their stage presence and personality alone is so it girl.
i already knew sophia lara yoonchae were going to debut once i saw their antifragile performance (feel sad that emily was the only one of that team that didnt debut)
They are so little mix coded. Hope they trained them to sing live while dancing cuz it’s gonna be devastating to see them lip syncing every single time 😶
The fact that these girls are individually powerful to put in one group is insane. the compatition that will create among them is not looking very good, i hope the label treat them well and fairness.
No they all are powerful in their particular dance vocal stage presence it should be insane the power this group has is next level they all add and need each other!!!
yesterday i saw manon's insta has 120k followers. is she already an insta influencer before? or model? or singer? bcs other member followers just at 50k to 70k. no shade, no hate, i just genuinely asking 🤔
Yes! Manon was a model, photographer, and actress before Dream Academy. Many of the contestants either had experience in the entertainment industry, were influencers, or were Hybe trainees. Lara's parents are music executives, Daniela is a decorated ballroom/salsa Dancer who was on America's Got Talent, Megan is a trained Dancer and actress, Yoonchae was a Belift trainee, and Sophia was an influencer and singer. Manon is also famous for being the "pinterest black girl" as a mirror selfie of her went incredibly viral a few years ago, and she topped the searches of Pinterest at the time.
Manon had the most insta followers even before Dream Academy. She literally has a tiktok filter designed after her. Homegirl was it girling before Hybe. This only cemented her popularity which is what most people don't understand. She was always going to debut because of her online presence 😂😂😂😂
There are no full episodes. Just performances, vlogs, and behind the scenes clips, which you can watch on Hybe Labels channel. There will be a Netflix documentary about their debut in June 2024!
cute video but... let's be real, for sophia, lara and manon it was after the 1st episode. everything else was just scenarios like lee chaeyeon during pd48. their potential succes power was too big for miracles
Yes! In their first live, she said that she speaks both German and Swiss-German. Swiss German is her first language. She also speaks a little bit of French!
@@coolgrizzlybar in retrospect she has very good visuals and decent vocals. That's all her fans cling on to. She also meshes will in terms of height distribution
