(There was supposed to be 25 finalists but some withdrew, which is why the contestant numbers jump around a bit)
Based on the first episode they seem like a really talented group of girls overall! Jayla, Hiori, Seria, Aoi, Elena, Naru, and Ayana particularly stood out to me.
Some familiar faces from previous survival shows as well and there’s a lot of older (relatively speaking ofc) girls there so they seem to be focusing on experience to better match up with the trio already selected. It was really interesting to see how diverse the looks/vibes of the trainees they picked out from the open auditions were, they seem to want a unique girl who can really stand out both from the other finalists and the three fixed members
I also never knew Sara/Sarah was such a popular name in Japan lol

Quite surprised by the variety of profiles. You can tell different ages and styles. I like it

No.13 Aratake Rinka from GP999
This would be her third.

I refuse to support this group bc of Samara, but I wish good luck for all the contestants
No2 looks like female hongjoong anyone else see it?

I like that they all have a very different vibe- makes me wonder if they already have a rough concept in mind or several different ideas
RuneofBeginning on
I view these scouting campaigns as a way for HxG to build a bench of girls they can mold into different groups and concepts. Kind of a brilliant idea if you think about it. Dream Academy formed Katseye, Prelude (+ additional member), Adela, and other solo acts. It’s a win-win if you really think about it. You don’t make the group? People still know who you are.
Limafoxtrot360 on
They are all stocked up on Sara/Sarah’s
ShoddyResearcher9062 on
Is this for prelude?
thr1ftskull0 on
Having watched ep 1 who I’m currently rooting for/ who caught my eye
Seria
Ayana
Sara M (my fav rn)
Jayla
Hiori
Honoka K
Aoi
Sarah_13020 on
So many sara/sarah 😆😆

Its so nice to see GP999 girls still out there.
Ziodynes on
Sara M got aura
Deca089 on
Without knowing anything else about them I’m guessing Jayla and/or Aoi are gonna make it, they’re the conventionally prettiest (imo) so they’ll be guaranteed to have people voting for them if they’re at least halfway talented
jopperfromkwangya on
wow timing
c1airee on
i’m obsessed with rira
kpossibles on
Surprised by the amount of Sara(h)s
kingkoum on
I’m betting on Hiori right now, I think it’ll be her
heartonwindow on
Idk guys i don’t think there are enough saras
jammyia on
Jayla from Universe Ticket!!!
SumanjitBasumatary on
How many Sara’s you want
Them : YES !
chesiredeservedmore on
how many spots are they competing for? one?
XxhumanguineapigxX on
No.15 Hiori is so pretty!
ForceApprehensive597 on
Why so many Sarah/Sara😭
ActualV-art on
Root for Hiori, Jayla, Aoi and Honoka K
Dramatic-Smile-1693 on
Rira, Akari, Elena and Sara M. are so pretty
Magicomad on
It will be either no.2 Sakura. T(prettiest) or no. 12. Sara M(aura max).
gf_for_the_weekend on
after watch ep 1 im most excited for Sara M., Honoka K., Hiori, Seria and Aoi
I also liked Shaina but i don’t see her making it to the finale
9nina9 on
Woah it’s so refreshing to see normal girls, who didn’t have tons of plastic surgery. They all look really pretty ❤️
Silverstealth3 on
Based on previous survival shows Sakura, Ayana, and Jayla have a good chance of making it. Though the new girls or Rinka could suprise us
Pretend-Win-8702 on
JAYLAAAAAA NO WAYYYY !!!! She’s talented guys give her a chance 🙏🗣 (she was on universe ticket, survival show where unis was created)
crowlily on
so happy to see Rinka here! she’s really grown on me over the past few years (she posted singing covers very consistently though she’s deleted a good chunk of them now). she was also awesome in Chuang Asia! idk if she’ll make it but I’m really rooting for her to go far and debut in a group!
AnnaWatermelon on
Is that Kurokawa Honoka from Produce 101???
11summers on
There were rumors Ua and Hinari were part of this trainee pool, but I’m glad they’re not. It would be insanely unfair if three of their co-contestants were guaranteed a spot in the group because “we know them from Dream Academy” while they weren’t given the same opportunity.
lunarchoerry on
some familiar faces! hi honoka, rinka, ayana, jayla
Lamorosii on
Good lord, #5 looks like she’s 12. lol

Kurokawa Honoka is an amazing vocalist, rooting for her!

Jayla is the one who went against Gehlee in Universe Ticket[https://youtu.be/3eub2ccO0UU?si=GjEncCVOUWnJZIB4](https://youtu.be/3eub2ccO0UU?si=GjEncCVOUWnJZIB4)
