NCT LA Start Ep 1 & 2 (Patreon)

IMMA NEEEEED THE kpop industry to abandon the Anita Baker hair style for new trainees and giving them the super pale make-up and filters just so they all just look boring and one note .

Like can we let their individuality and personalities SHINE PLEASE? Thank god for Anderson, who was the least reserved, must be his Canadian up bringing. I liked Jungmin too.

Also, the fact I forgot this is for NCT Tokyo LOOL until like episode 2.

So far, I can't say I'm excited for the final line up based on these 2 episodes. It feels like the Kpop industry is focused on talent over it factor and charisma. Just like those companies that tried to make their own Britney Spears/Justin Bieber, I think the market is just churning out forgettable groups with members that have talent but sometimes even that alone is not enough, much like Eunhyuk said.

OF course they might grow to become amazing performers however there's sooo many idols to pick from it's more likely they'll just fade into meh territory than becoming something amazing and I blame the companies, not the trainees. They're just trying their best.

These are my honest feelings at the moment, this may change as the episodes go on but man, so many competition shows it's hard to keep track :'(.

Enjoy!
