DISCLAIMER: We're not very positive in this reaction. We definitely get upset and slightly angry about some of the details of this episode so we wanted to warn you all before watching. If you're not up to criticism it might be better to skip this portion of the Docu Series reaction.

Sorry for how quiet we got in the later part of this reaction, this was just our honest feelings on our first watch.

I read a comment somewhere that maybe because she was 3 years older than the 02 line maybe he was worried that the girls depend on her to much . they might not found their own vibe. it's a comment I read. Age is a huge issue when it comes to Idols. I don't agree with the decision

I get not being happy about how Airi was left. I'm still hoping once XG has had their first world tour finished, Simon will announced Airi as their first solo artist or even have her on as a feature in one of their upcoming tracks to promote her upcoming debut as one. As much as I loved Airi and Hikaru both while watching these, I personally couldn't see them in the same concept as the others and that's the thing about these group concepts is they have to not only be talented, mesh well with the other members but be cohesive with the concept. It's why in the first episode of the Le Sserafim docu we see a girl get kicked out of training despite being there for some time. Not that she wasn't working hard or good but she simply didn't mesh. Simon is going to be both the good and bad guy in every situation because he has to make those hard choices and I understand not being able to look at him the same. To be honest, I was very hesitant to trust him in general and still don't trust him per se with the girls. We all know how bad these companies can be. After watching this it was hard not to look at him as cold and calculating, which is sometimes necessary in the industry but watching some of their behind the scene vlogs made me notice something - He is ALWAYS there, even if he never speaks, even when they are just playing a game at an arcade - you end up seeing him play with them. So, yes, I think that Simon probably messed up while making this group but I also think that Simon is human and this was his first time making a group. It's why he put so much care into this and is continuing to nurture them so much. The fact he was willing to put all this baggage out on the internet shows me that he's willing to show us good and bad. At least, as much as we have seen. I'm hoping Airi gets a shot, a real shot, from Simon. But in the end, I think that overall, we got the best group possible out of the program because of his choices. Even if we all might have done things differently. Hindsight is 20/20.

coming into the documentary already loving the debuted girls of XG, i didn’t think i would connect so much with others who didn’t make it. but i spent ep7 bailing my eyes for airi and the grief the girls experienced losing her. she was their backbone and from what we were shown, there wasn’t anything that looked like she didn’t fit in the group sound or style wise. so i think your anger is justified. especially bc they weren’t certain if she would be debuting, but still continued to include her in debut preparations. it was kinda cruel to her.

I can’t even imagine what they all went through at that moment, especially Jurin since she suddenly had to become the leader and that’s such a big responsibility to bear. I honestly had to pause this episode a couple times when I watched it for the first time since it was so hard to get through. I also noticed that they didn’t show Jurin reacting to the news that Airi wasn’t going to debut with them and while I can only speculate as to why that is, I feel like it’s probably because they were the closest and she most likely took it very hard.

I think Simon kwew that Ari wouldn't make it in the final lineup pretty early (age wise), but he kept her around especially for the younger girls to learn from her until they were ready. Like a teacher / role model thing. It's not the nicest thing to do, but that's how you play this game sometimes, if you want to be successful in the end.
