From the corporate perspective, the company is probably looking ahead long-term to the next girl group they're gonna release, so any trainees that don't make it into the debut team this time (and are still below the age cut-off) can still stick around, especially since they've already invested...
That bit really stuck out to me too. I keep thinking back to her feedback session with Hyojeong after the first evaluation, where she just lies to Hyojeong about her evaluation results. I do believe that she was doing that out of kindness, but in that situation it's actually more cruel to dangle...
i think that's just sanghyun's internal monologue, it's a little confusing because there's no visual indication of a scene transition
i assume that the ceo is just feigning ignorance and grilling Gongwon as a test to see if he folds and gives away the secret under pressure. i don't think...
@Kontoru11, personally i think i prefer A? As a sentence, B does sound more natural, but having A ending on "an even better side of me" puts more emphasis on that portion, which I think is a better fit.
Reading that chapter again, I'm not sure it was that calculated. The way it went down was Minji got nominated to lead because she was the highest-ranked, so Suryeon couldn't nominate herself on that basis. I think she nominated Hyojeong, expecting her to reject it, and then was planning on...
Yeah same, you can even see why she gets along with Minji - they have a pretty similar style of speech, though key difference between the two of them is Minji's is more like good-natured teasing and Yuri's is mean-spirited ridicule (maybe not mean-spirited exactly, but she definitely has no...
i kinda hope she makes it onto the debut team honestly, if only because i think there's good drama if not everyone on the team gets along and they just have to deal with opposing personalities in a professional setting. also the looming threat of the fallout with Soae makes me feel like there's...
While we're on the topic of foils, I just realised Suryeon is a good foil to this chapter too. Her copying Iruha's persona is a practical decision, but it also reflects a lack of confidence in her own image and her ability to succeed on her own terms - pretty much the exact same conflict Yoil...
It could have been a power play, assuming Juyoung is the guy who was provoking the MC, it probably went down like this - "yo my parents got me these airpods, but I know you're broke so you can have them, I can just buy more whenever I want anyway lol"
I can think of two possible reasons for...
