Prelude hasn't even debuted yet but I already know that they're not going to be more successful than Katseye. They've been praised as the group that hxg really wanted to create and tested out the concept with Katseye, well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but they probably won't be any better. In the survival show we're already seeing Hybe's tendency to pick visuals over real talent. Sakura most definitely has it in the bag to be in the group and yes she's 15 but the talent is very lackluster. Also a 15 year old in the group is actually diabolical, I'm very interested to see their compatability when they're all together. Even starting to promote them rn when they're not even fully formed is a choice, whoever the 4th member will be, won't be as popular as the other 3 and will probably feel like the filler or the side character to the main 3. Lastly we have the infamous clip of Lexi saying Emily looks like Sid the Sloth, which was a really weird thing to say and just makes their whole throuple situation just look awkward and forced.

So I wasn’t particularly interested in this group, but heard the songs, they sounded nice, started casually looking into news and stuff, got excited to see Ayana and wanted her to win because that would mean the group would be cohesive, interesting, talented.
Its no surprise Sakura got chosen considering how Son looked at her like a chocolate bar. It’s gross that they once again made the terrible decision to add someone to the group that lowkey brings nothing, is a minor, is so far behind the other members in skill.

It’s the friken Manon crap all over again, but even so, Manon had the audience backing her up and was overall liked, Sakura is hated rn, and it’s just gonna get worse and worse. And HxG sucks for bringing a literal child into this situation like that. Cuz the group is gonna get hate, Hxg is gonna get hate and Sakura, even if she’s literally no ones first choice, is gonna get massive hate.

Its crazy that they can absolutely make the choice the audience wants to see, and every friken time, without shame, they always make the wrong decision, starting a whole new group with controversy.

honestly and from the bottom of my heart: Fuck Hybe, Fuck Geffen, Fuck Son, Fuck Mitra. wtf.

This might be a hot take but I think the girls are better as 3 members and I really don't know why hybe wants there to be a young Japanese girl so bad? The chemistry between Samara, Emily and Lexie works better because we know they have history and I feel like thats an easier sell. Adding someone who is a minor will just make the group feel like SamaraEmilyLexie and x instead of a cohesive group.

Another thing in a recent live Samara said they're finally moving into a house and like? Are they moving in just the 3 of them or with the final piece? There's so much drama with this group and they haven't even debuted yet 🙄

i know like 90% of the people here love ayana and i agree she is super talented. You can tell by how fluid her dancing is that she has trained a lot more than sakura but she has no star power and comes off as boring. She has no expressions during performance and it might just be competition pressure but she looks so checked out most of the time. It’s like she tries to be professional but a part of being an idol is to captivate the audience not just give a technically good performance.

While for sakura she is obviously really young and it is really unfair for her to be put in such a toxic environment so early on.
My top choice in almond chocolate was seria not ayana or sakura.

thats their name.....

I dont think she ever apologized for liking those posts and people expect me to like her. Racism is never taken seriously when its against indian people. So infuriating! Its still racism!! Imagine if an Indian girl had liked posts like that about Black people, people would be sooo much more mad 🫤

Getting closer to the finale, I keep seeing comments on YouTube/reddit/instagram about Sakura being a ‘star’ who still deserves to debut in another group, even if Ayana is the final piece.

I’m starting to think everyone’s tone deaf or blind because I can say with 100000% certainty that every single person watching World Scout has at least 1 ‘regular’ person in their life who sings better than her, and at least 1 ‘regular’ person who dances better than her. I definitely do.

If these people aren’t stars, why does Sakura deserve to debut? I have seen 0 proof that she should be in a group, let alone in the entertainment industry, except for the supposed ‘star quality’ that the producers are shoving down our throats to make swallowing that fact that she is the FP slightly easier.

I do think she’s a nice person who doesn’t deserve hate online, she’s only 16, I can’t imagine what it would be like if I was being paraded around by Hybe drawing in countless hate comments. But there is a difference between not being hateful and being delusional.

But there is no reason why anyone should say she deserves to debut in another group, e.g. another Japanese Hybe gg, not everyone has to.

Are you telling me that you seriously believe Sakura is more deserving than the countless talented girls in Japan, both who we’ve seen (Jayla, Rinka, Honoka K, Hiori) and who we haven’t??

I’m so confused as to why people are saying this??

QUICK EVERYONE ACT SURPRISED THAT SAKURA WON

In survival shows, people go there to compete. There's no time to improvement there. That had to be done before. Nowadays, do they even consider their real skills? Potential? Well everyone has potential, give them right training and boom! FUCK MITRA AND SON AND OTHER KOREAN LADY. OBVI THEY'RE GOING FOR THE "CUTE MINOR IN THE GROUP TO ATTRACT LD CREEPY MEN" . I wonder what concept and direction they're heading towards, which makes Sakura fitting in it. YAY ig. Happy failure.

We've seen how these companies treat minors and not to mention, Ayana is overwhelmingly much more popular than she is. Sakura is obviously the final piece but oh my lord she's gonna get SO much hate and I an worried for her.

Hey you guys, hope your having a nice day or wtv!

So it’s not like Lexi has the worst singing I’ve ever heard, but why does she have a fake high pitch/soft voice. Pre debut (in her own filmed private videos) you can see she has an average normal voice but ever since DA she’s been forcing it up.

genuinely the whole vibe has completely shifted... all the other 3 members give a more mature, classy and older vibe while she gives a more cute-looking vibe ig i can't believe how badly HxG have messed up like where is this star quality, cuz i cant see it at all :/

I feel like with more training, they could've easily debuted her in Hybe's new Japan girl group in the next 2-3 years.

idk if it's because they gave her a light blue denim fit, but if they want her to blend with the group, they're gonna have to start thinking of outfits to make her feel a part of the group rather than out of it.

even in the comment section ppl have been saying she looks like a fan or something looks off
