The fact that Camila was one of the first person to pop up for the audition of a2k and finished to get a ticket to Korea was well deserved. I’m so proud of her ❤ 🎉
She has a chance to be a breakout star in the group. As she matures and hits her stride, she'll be unstoppable. She (and others) will push this group to be extremely popular in the Spanish speaking world. Like the Japanese member of Twice, make that group popular in Japan and not just Korea.
Camilla genuinely seems like she is the most likely candidate for leader, she has that motherly energy about how with how she looks after the girls, it honestly kinda reminds me of Bang Chan from Stray Kids. Not to mention she’s insanely talented so she would be able to earn that role anyways. I loved KG’s ‘we are one!’ attitude, I get it must be hard for her when it comes to dancing but it’s great to see how willing she is to improve.
I love how this survival show is practically drama free, no real evil editing, no toxicity, straight to the point, jyp is doing great as a judge. There isn’t some crazy budget like in mnet shows for example but it’s somehow charming
Ikr, I love how they emphasized that the girls aren't focused on competing, rather just doing their best and having fun. Also any other Mnet show would've used that "first girl who gets to go to Korea" moment as a cut-off cliffhanger for the next episode, I've seen that exact moment like 50 times in Queendom/Produce/Planet
Which is insane bc they’re trying to appeal to an American audience and American competition shows are FILLED with drama, but I feel like this show would make it easy for future fans to get into them bc it’s so short and to the point.
I'm really enjoying the lack of scripted drama. Like I understand the point of the "evil editing" especially in a survival/reality show, but it's really nice to just see the girls work hard, JYP give constuctive feedback, and then have the drama soley be on who is chosen or not. And all of the girls seem so damn nice too!
Kendall took that evaluation like a champ. I would be so upset and wonder why I am not liked etc. She shook it off and went on with her business. So much respect Kendall!
Kendall's ability to handle the evaluation with such grace and resilience speaks volumes about her character. It's not easy to receive feedback, especially in a public setting. 👏
Savanna is such a hidden gem she’s literally loved by everyone. She’s not the kind of person to speak loud but all she says are genuine and warm 😢 I think she’ll be a really good foundation for the group. the calm and cool energy is so rare to have.
I was most impressed by Camila, Cristina, and KG during this round. They were very comfortable and natural together. KG's answer to the group question has eased my doubts about her in a group setting.
KG just answered because she knew what they wanted to hear. Otherwise she felt cold, disconnected and mostly thinking about herself all the time and also others didnt want to spent so much time with her. I stay true to my opinion, having her in a group setting would be toxic and endanger the whole group and its success
That group was my favorite interview alongside the one with Lexus. I have no worries about KG being a team member. She's already got group experience from being in a band with her older brothers, and it'll be easier being with other like-minded girls. Your brothers can drive you crazy!
@@skategardenayeah I kinda agree but som thing just doesn't agree with you becouse her dance is amazing, and she is just over the beat but I love her dance her vocal is not the thing for her she doesn't have potential on vocal but if she does she needs to debut that's my opinion
out of all of the girls camilla, christina, and kg’s answers were perfect and you can tell they are confident with their answers and good at speaking which is perfect for a group that’s going to be promoting and doing interviews.
Honestly, agree with this and Jeff. KG has natural born talent. She's already a star. If she doesn't make it, she won't struggle releasing as a solo artist. I honestly love her voice and she can sing so incredibly well for being what, 15-16? She will be successful regardless of the outcome!
@RC-ud4qo even though she's ranking high she can still be stressed about failing. She could be a perfectionist and test anxiety is a thing. She's also probably is nervous about socializing so let's not judge her for that
@RC-ud4qo it's pretty clear you've never been to an audition..it is really hard, you have a certain pressure of doing very well (even better than the other contestants) cus if you're not at their level (or not good enough for the judges) you get frustrated pretty easily... so yeah, it is completely valid for her to be concentrated and a little bit stressed ...
I fell in love with Cristina in this episode. Her expressions when she is around her teammate is so fun to watch. Love her energy and of course Camilla
I just do not like her because I do not think anyone dumb enough to plagiarize a song with well over 60 million views in her "star quality" audition deserves to be a musician.
Kaylee all the way. Kendall is just an introvert but that shouldn’t be used against her. She’s got a lot to show and prove and she’ll get better interacting.
@@Odysseus_OutisI don’t think Mischa was able to debut bc, I saw her tiktok and she’s been posting basically everyday which might mean she wasn’t able to debut since they’re not suppose to post about anything
Unironically it felt like Kendall was suffering from literal success, because she was focused on giving her best and disconnected from her surroundings a little.
@@hankonokokoro6684 wdym? In the previous episode they literally said they were happy to be on the same team since they were the closest to e/o... Also what's up with your "evidence"?! How is telling others to move a little when they sit too close any sign of their bad relationship...? 😂 Bc I tell that to my friends and sisters all the time
Camila definitely have that leader vibes, like idk I can just feel it, just from the way she spoke and her relationship with the other contestants, she definitely deserves to debut, she has proven herself as one talented individual.
Kendall is a sweetheart. I understand what it’s like to be nervous to speak to others & get close to them. She’s so young so eventually she will continue to open up as an individual.
Kendall seemed more like a introvert- which seemed obvious to me. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert and it would effect her impact to the group especially skillwise. I have loved JYP this whole series, but he did not have to tell her she was voted last among the contestants.
For most ppl, he said Tell me about yourself? Or he would describe them and say Am I seeing you right? For Kendall he said, You were voted last among your peer group. WHY? 💀For a split second, I almost thought it was funny, but then I saw Kendall fighting back tears and her eyes got watery and realized WAIT that's not funny. At all.
I just wonder why she's the only girl he said that to... It looked like each contestant only submitted one vote for their favorite teammate, so with 11 contestants and only one vote from each, there must've been several girls with no votes... Kendall can't have been the only one at the bottom 🤔
Let’s go Lexus!! I’m glad her teammates and trainers recognized her hard work and genuineness. Same for Camilla! I think they both deserved the top two!
I feel like A2K will be really successful, the most ideal international girl group ever, come from many ethnicity/countries as one group. JYP is a genius.
@@LynxPENtaKyll she said during her dance evaluation episode that jyp was wrong about saying she didn't look prepared in her dancing, she's clearly very arrogant.
I definitely support Camilla and Lexus on this journey! They not only are talented in their singing and dancing skills, they also make the best team members! In a professional setting like this I can definitely understand why the staff and other group members voted them to be the best out of everyone. They showed improvement and were supporting their team members throughout the whole competition, and that is not something that you can teach! In a group that is going to be training and making performances one day, being an understanding, caring, and supporting team member is super important! I look at this from a logical point of view, and I can say that being talented and a hard working person when it comes to putting your all to the dancing and singing, as well as being a TRUE team member is what will gonna get you to be successful and actually be able to get chosen and eventually debut! Being an introverted person myself, I totally understand some of the group member’s situation, however, willing to work harder and not being afraid to show your vulnerable side is what going to help you to get to that point form now on. The biggest reason, even myself, being drawn to Lexus and Camilla was because they weren’t afraid to show their vulnerable side and were always supportive. This shows team spirit and as a viewer myself, and a future fan of the group, even I, felt supported and felt closer to them.
Kendall truly exudes an introverted, emotionally sensitive, and artistic 🎨 nature. It's so evident from the way she wholeheartedly cares for her teammates. I remember her expressing the genuine wish to run up and hug Kaylee when she was in tears, quickly hugging Yuna after evaluations, and how happy she was when Camilla's name was called for Korea. It's touching to see how she's gradually forging deeper connections within the group. Also, it's heartwarming to notice the strong bond that seems to have formed between Kaylee and Kendall. 🌟💖👭
Yes,I relate to Kendall in the fact that I’ve been told I’m hard to connect to because I’m shy/closed off .I feel like it just takes longer for Kendall to achieve that with people ,which is why she was last.Introverted to the very core
@@bopbimittyskabap I actually think that it wasn't her shyness that they're against. I don't think they would hold that against her. I just think they know she was being favorited and there was a higher chance of her winning.
Feel bad for Kendall... As she shared in the 3rd evaluation she expresses herself best through art and thus may struggle at first opening up and creating strong connections more than others. But I'm sure with time the others can get to know her better and also appreciate her as a fellow member. I wonder how she ranked for the trainers!
@@RC-ud4qo you should really get a life. you are replying to almost every comment just to hate on kendall...i feel sad for you that you dont have anything better to do with your time, and you're so insecure that you feel the need to bring others down. hope u get well soon
Wow I am really shocked and congratulations Camila on getting to go to Korea!! But I am really proud of all the girls I think they are amazing really talented and they deserve this, I hope they’ll be able to debut together.
*KAYLEE* is such a super smart kid that I've ever seen. Recalling my days at age 12, I wasn't able to think or to say THAT organized, nor THAT object driven. I was... just ...,, I was just a kid of 12 yrs. old, just like any others.
all the effort and dedication that camila has put in to improve every day is impressive, we are in the presence of the future leader and center of the group, camila DEBUT!!
I really like Kendall. She is not as "out there" as others, but my eyes are always drawn to her. She has that special aura that keeps me wanting to discover more from her.
@@faithsteph2994 Totally agree! If anyone's interested, Susan Cain has an amazing book for introverts. She delves into how introversion is often contrasted with the more outgoing American societal norms. 📚🤝 And can we talk about the LA bootcamp lasting just one week? 🗓 If anything, I'm giving Kendall a standing ovation because opening up in such a short time is seriously impressive - speaking as a shy introvert, I don't know if I could pull it off! 😅🙈🌟
I won't worry much about character evaluation.. Ryujin learned to form deeper bonds after debuting in ITZY. TWICE Momo and Jihyo admitted it took them almost 3 years to get to know each other better. Look at them all now. The girls who will debut will surely warm up to one another as they spend more time together, although some need more time than others and that's okay.
Yuna is so pretty and talented and her personality is so charming ,i hope she recieves more stones so that she can debut rooting for u yuna wishing u the best good 🤞😊
I hope lexi debuts. I’m sooo invested in her journey, I would be extremely sad if she doesn’t get picked. 😭💔 Sooo very proud of her though! And the fact that she’s a representation for her people. #Hmong #lexusvang 💗💗
Kaylee is so well spoken for a 12 year old its insane. She holds herself to such high standards i worry that she’ll crack under the pressure. I hope if she debuts that her members will help protect her , especially since she’s going to be losing her teen years to be a kpop idol.
YESS, Camila !! She deserves it. Also she is definitely main vocal+ leader material ! Camila was, and still is my top pick, I'm so, so, so happy for her !! Here's hoping she is gonna be successful. 😚
I just want to say how much I love this Character Evaluation portion. It's so important because they will be role models for young people. No one's perfect, but in the west, we tend to glorify idols with attitude, drug use, and selfishness. Go JYP! This is how you train youngsters to use a platform to impact the next generation for good. ❤🙌👏👏
My only concern lies in the fact that the character evaluations took place on Day 4. It's quite a challenge to build substantial friendships or genuinely get to know each other in such a short span. Singing, dancing, and even star quality can be prepared and showcased effectively as they involve practiced skills. However, truly understanding each other's character and forming connections require more time and shared experiences. The depth of a person can't be fully captured in just a few days. 🕒💫 For the sake of the show and concept, I still do LOVE the idea.
camilla, lexus, christina,kg and savanna definitely ate it up and i could see the star quality in them, they are honest but careful and loose love it!!! also I love how kendall show herself moreee💞
The question for Kendall was much tougher than the rest, like: Kaylee - you're talented, what kind of member would you be? Camila - you speak 3 languages and performed better than on auditions, why? AND THEN Kendall - you were ranked at the bottom of who others want as a teammate, why? She handled it very well 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was kind of worried for a bit, the way they edited it/the way she paused, I was thinking... oh dear they might have struck a nerve with this question. 💀 I don't think they meant it like that but I definitely would have had to take a breather after that question. She did good handling it.
Camila, Lexus and Kendall are top tier and my favorites. They are definitely gonna debut. Hopefully, the members will be more than 5 cause if we're gonna base it on the intro, there are only five gems/stones.
you'd hope so, but I think a factor is gonna be that larger groups aren't common or really accepted in America. Like sometimes Americans act like it's crazy that BTS has 7 members when for kpop that's a pretty normal group size. Groups over there tend to be about 4-5 members.
@@crptpyrbut one thing I am really not sure about with A2K, will they be a American group OR will they be a kpop group and he just "selects" in this she members from America but wants to add Korean members or others from jype too?
I can see Savanna as a grounding energy in the group when things get crazy. When JYP questioned her dedication, I think he misread her. It’s often the ones who come across as high-energy and intense all the time that burn out quickly and are emotionally unstable. Savanna has a quiet, calm intensity that she knows how to unleash when and where it’s appropriate. For Kendall, I see this as much more than an audition; it’s a spiritual journey in which she’s being given the opportunity to face her shadow side. If she chooses to fully embrace, process, and integrate the life lessons she’s experiencing, she can be a real gem. Props to all these girls. Their level of talent, grit, and maturity just floors me!
Every single one of these girls are talented in their own way. They are all so good at dancing, singing, and their talents that they should last episode. Hoping to see what they put together this episode!
I’m introverted but I do not have issue having connections or making friends. She doesn’t seem to as well. It’s just that she was more focused on her self-improvement and individuality right now. We can see she knows how to make friends when she does.
Im rooting for camila i hope she will debut,her vocals and dancing and rapping is so amazing def allrounder and she will be a good leader of the group goodluck girls❤😊
Savanna - Man, I’m so glad that Savanna got a stone 😭😭😭 I’m rooting so hard for that girl. What concerns me is that she ranked 6/10 in by her teachers, but its so sweet that Savanna is so well loved by her peers. Christina / Camila - I’m not surprised at all that Christina and Camila got character stones, the way they cared for their teammates was made so clear throughout the show! But Christina’s story was so touching to me because she forced herself to be a more empathetic person. Its not easy to change yourself or be more empathetic, especially when you’re naturally more of a “thinker” type person. So I love that for her. Lexus - I never would have guessed that Lexus was a team player if they hadn’t shown the bts, but now its quite clear that she more than deserves the character stone. Kendall - I can't say i'm surprised that Kendall didn’t get a stone. Its nice that she’s opening up with the girls more, but that soloist kinda vibe came off very strong throughout the show. Hopefully this group mission will open her up a bit more to the feeling of being in a group. Yuna - As for Yuna getting a stone, what surprised me most is that she came in number 2 of most liked teammate. After seeing how close she is with the girls in the bts, it makes sense. but then i was surprised again to see that she scored very low in terms of evaluations from her teachers. Not a great sign...but also i can also see why that would be the case, ngl. anyway, I’m very interested in what her team performance will look like. I want to see if she can clean up her dance and vocal skills. I'm not hopeful for the vocal skills considering her skill level and the ranking her teachers gave her, but she may be able to pull through with the dance. Kaylee - I wish Kaylee had gotten a stone :( if she were just a little older, I would be rooting so much harder for her. Her voice is lovely, she answered the interview question so well and its clear that she's a hard worker that's brimming with potential. Nevertheless, even if she doesn't make it, I hope she can become a proper jyp trainee.
Savanna is in the near success. I hope she gets more songlines in their final performance to prove her singing improvement. Thats what she needs to prove most in their final mission. As you see she is always on the top in the other tests. She should give her best and prove her vocal improvement. I hope you would make it. Same with Christina I hope she could make it also she is a great teamplayer 🎉❤
@@imasunflowerlilfunny3353 KG's great, I have nothing against her. I liked her answer in the interview. I'm really interested to see if she'll be able to earn the character stone during the team mission and to see if she can improve her dance skills just a little bit more.
Im so happy about Yuna, I hope she gets more motivation from now on and get her place in the group. I really liked this top 5, congrats to Camila, it was really well deserved.
Congrats to Camila! So happy that Lexus, Yuna, and Savanna got stones as well, I’ve been rooting for them. I’m glad that through the Character Evaluation, I’ve gotten to know Cristina better, she seems like a very kind person.
as much as im hoping for lexi to debut, i also hope that everyone will be able to debut too. they have a very great chemistry and will form a very talented group!!
Camila deserved it frrrr! So happy for Lexus from getting first and also Yuna have that celebrity aura like she was born to do this! Cristina is so genuine like she's just naturally good!
Yuna was voted 8th from her teachers and trainers means she really needs to improve technically, it’s not only about personality or character, I hope and know she can do better.
Camila, we're insanely proud of you, es genial que hayas conseguido esto y espero que tengas un momento increíble entrenando en Corea para luego debutar, siento que serías una gran líder.
Can't believe my top 5 were the top 5 of the teachers.The more I look at Cristina and the way she speaks more she gives me leader vibes I really hope and pray Cristina and Lexi make it they were the ones who got my attention the most since episode 1 💗 I wish all of them will debut tho 😭
They all are so sweet! Definitely one together and im so happy they all are getting along and there is no tension between them! Congrats camila definitely proved and deserves to go to korea! I cant wait for the performances
I’m really impressed with this format. It is respectful of the girls while also giving them important, authentic feedback. The extreme competitive nature of the kpop trainee phase is really toxic to the mental health of children and the industry forgets that these are kids. Really happy to see JYP breaking that abusive format and going for a healthier approach. I do wish they would have a minimum age limit as 12 and 13 is really too young. Set the minimum age to 16. Because JYP is using this new approach, I will definitely be supporting their next groups and other ventures.
The kpop trainee system takes about 1-2 years add audition and that can be around 3 Debuting in kpop at more than 18 is kinda risky In fact for the audition they initially refused girls above 17
I want them to debut all seem so beautiful and with great talent that I can not even think if they separate them because I feel that they already created such a great bond of friendship

I really want Camila, Lexus, Kaylee, Gina and prob Mischa and Yuna to debut TT-TT
Same but for me cristina too :)
Right~!!!, and Mischa should get more attention !!!.
yeah there's lots of rumours that melissa and mischa didnt make it in@@Odysseus_Outis
@@Odysseus_OutisI don’t think Mischa was able to debut bc, I saw her tiktok and she’s been posting basically everyday which might mean she wasn’t able to debut since they’re not suppose to post about anything
Savanna too!
Unironically it felt like Kendall was suffering from literal success, because she was focused on giving her best and disconnected from her surroundings a little.
i think she is just an introvert and enjoys her time alone better than others.
The way kaylee told her to get away from her when they sat down says everything, they arent close at all
@@hankonokokoro6684 wdym? In the previous episode they literally said they were happy to be on the same team since they were the closest to e/o...
Also what's up with your "evidence"?! How is telling others to move a little when they sit too close any sign of their bad relationship...? 😂 Bc I tell that to my friends and sisters all the time
@@DanahSul not knowing boundaries and stuff
@@hankonokokoro6684 you seem to be having troubles with relationships...
Camila definitely have that leader vibes, like idk I can just feel it, just from the way she spoke and her relationship with the other contestants, she definitely deserves to debut, she has proven herself as one talented individual.
Kendall is a sweetheart. I understand what it’s like to be nervous to speak to others & get close to them. She’s so young so eventually she will continue to open up as an individual.
I hope shes coming in- shes my fav so sweet😭
I am 32 and I still haven't 'opened' lmao.
She's probably very introverted
@@샤이-k1s I think so. Everytime she speaks, I realize that she doesn't really like to communicate with other
I thought she’s the extrovert kid but while the show keeps going she’s the most introverted kid. No wonder she placed last in her peers
Kendall seemed more like a introvert- which seemed obvious to me. There is nothing wrong with being an introvert and it would effect her impact to the group especially skillwise. I have loved JYP this whole series, but he did not have to tell her she was voted last among the contestants.
For most ppl, he said Tell me about yourself? Or he would describe them and say Am I seeing you right? For Kendall he said, You were voted last among your peer group. WHY? 💀For a split second, I almost thought it was funny, but then I saw Kendall fighting back tears and her eyes got watery and realized WAIT that's not funny. At all.
I just wonder why she's the only girl he said that to... It looked like each contestant only submitted one vote for their favorite teammate, so with 11 contestants and only one vote from each, there must've been several girls with no votes... Kendall can't have been the only one at the bottom 🤔
Nah, i think he ask that bec he really like her. Notice how jyp always compliments her. I think jyp is curious why she ranked lowest bec he like her
@@eirosimea3477lol jyp is so clueless. Just bc ur pretty doesn’t mean everyone wants to be friends with you.
@@areanaangel8964it didn’t look like her eyes got watery tho
Let’s go Lexus!! I’m glad her teammates and trainers recognized her hard work and genuineness. Same for Camilla! I think they both deserved the top two!
I feel like A2K will be really successful, the most ideal international girl group ever, come from many ethnicity/countries as one group.
JYP is a genius.
What about Baby monster
@@RuthjaneBaya-q6ynothing?
@@RuthjaneBaya-q6yno one said they'll more sucessful than Baby Monster 💀
@@RuthjaneBaya-q6y baby monster is still a kpop group bruh and also what being another group from another agency under this bruh
He is the only one to get it done.
When he told kendall she didnt get a lotof votes for fav teamate made me feel so bad, i wouldve cried tbh
You could see how hard she was holding back tears
Fr he shouldnt have said that just like it was no big deal 😭😭
@Hyunjin.s_Hairband if that's bad you should watch sixteen twice show where the staff called jihyo fat and unhealthy on camera.
I really want all of them to debut, watching this much of A2K really makes me want to see all the girls in a group, they're so close to each other
Not savanna she has a bad attitude
@@hueningbahibitchwdym?
@@LynxPENtaKyll she said during her dance evaluation episode that jyp was wrong about saying she didn't look prepared in her dancing, she's clearly very arrogant.
@@hueningbahibitch oh, I forgot that part. But if ever she became one of the fixed candidates to go to Korea, I hope she can fix that.
@@LynxPENtaKyll I personally don't think she should debut, idols shouldn't act like that, she has a big ego and thinks she's perfect when she isn't.
LETS GOO LEXUS AND YUNA ROOTING FOR YOU GUYS SINCE DAY 1!!!!! SWEAR IF YOU GUYS DEBUT I WILL SUPPORT AND STAN YOUR GROUP PLEASE PLEASE
I definitely support Camilla and Lexus on this journey! They not only are talented in their singing and dancing skills, they also make the best team members! In a professional setting like this I can definitely understand why the staff and other group members voted them to be the best out of everyone. They showed improvement and were supporting their team members throughout the whole competition, and that is not something that you can teach! In a group that is going to be training and making performances one day, being an understanding, caring, and supporting team member is super important! I look at this from a logical point of view, and I can say that being talented and a hard working person when it comes to putting your all to the dancing and singing, as well as being a TRUE team member is what will gonna get you to be successful and actually be able to get chosen and eventually debut! Being an introverted person myself, I totally understand some of the group member’s situation, however, willing to work harder and not being afraid to show your vulnerable side is what going to help you to get to that point form now on. The biggest reason, even myself, being drawn to Lexus and Camilla was because they weren’t afraid to show their vulnerable side and were always supportive. This shows team spirit and as a viewer myself, and a future fan of the group, even I, felt supported and felt closer to them.
Kendall truly exudes an introverted, emotionally sensitive, and artistic 🎨 nature. It's so evident from the way she wholeheartedly cares for her teammates. I remember her expressing the genuine wish to run up and hug Kaylee when she was in tears, quickly hugging Yuna after evaluations, and how happy she was when Camilla's name was called for Korea. It's touching to see how she's gradually forging deeper connections within the group. Also, it's heartwarming to notice the strong bond that seems to have formed between Kaylee and Kendall. 🌟💖👭
agreed !! i was so upset when i heard she was the least voted for favourite future teammate, she seems so sweet and genuine
@@bopbimittyskabapsamee i dont even know why jyp would tell her that no one voted for her 😭😭
It was so sad when she was voted last out of all the contestants. Some people are just introverts and she shouldn’t be judged for that.
Yes,I relate to Kendall in the fact that I’ve been told I’m hard to connect to because I’m shy/closed off .I feel like it just takes longer for Kendall to achieve that with people ,which is why she was last.Introverted to the very core
@@bopbimittyskabap I actually think that it wasn't her shyness that they're against. I don't think they would hold that against her. I just think they know she was being favorited and there was a higher chance of her winning.
christina is such a sweet person and team player as well as lexus & yuna! I hope they all make it.
FR CRISTINA ISNT APPRECIATED ENOUGH IMO
@@kisses4chi frl she’s so underrated! I love her mom energy she brings to the group🥺
@@asmr-vq5wgtbh I feel like camila has more of a mom energy but I do like Christina’s vibe
she totally gives those fake it till you make it vibes.
aww thanks bro
Feel bad for Kendall... As she shared in the 3rd evaluation she expresses herself best through art and thus may struggle at first opening up and creating strong connections more than others. But I'm sure with time the others can get to know her better and also appreciate her as a fellow member. I wonder how she ranked for the trainers!
@@RC-ud4qohater
@@RC-ud4qo you should really get a life. you are replying to almost every comment just to hate on kendall...i feel sad for you that you dont have anything better to do with your time, and you're so insecure that you feel the need to bring others down. hope u get well soon
I feel like Camila would make a great leader.
True!
I think she will most likely be the leader! She's got it more than the others imo.
FACTS ❤
Fr
Yeahh ofc she will be like the mom of the group
Wow I am really shocked and congratulations Camila on getting to go to Korea!! But I am really proud of all the girls I think they are amazing really talented and they deserve this, I hope they’ll be able to debut together.
*KAYLEE* is such a super smart kid that I've ever seen.
Recalling my days at age 12, I wasn't able to think or to say THAT organized, nor THAT object driven.
I was... just ...,, I was just a kid of 12 yrs. old, just like any others.
Let’s go Lexi! Always seem so genuine and glad the teachers and other member sees it too!
all the effort and dedication that camila has put in to improve every day is impressive, we are in the presence of the future leader and center of the group, camila DEBUT!!
I really like Kendall. She is not as "out there" as others, but my eyes are always drawn to her. She has that special aura that keeps me wanting to discover more from her.
I agree, she seems very sweet, just maybe a little shy and seemed to have taken a bit of time to come out of her shell. She will get there!
Love her too. I think the evaluation from other members shouldnt count because some people are introverts.
@@faithsteph2994 Totally agree! If anyone's interested, Susan Cain has an amazing book for introverts. She delves into how introversion is often contrasted with the more outgoing American societal norms. 📚🤝 And can we talk about the LA bootcamp lasting just one week? 🗓 If anything, I'm giving Kendall a standing ovation because opening up in such a short time is seriously impressive - speaking as a shy introvert, I don't know if I could pull it off! 😅🙈🌟
samee
I won't worry much about character evaluation.. Ryujin learned to form deeper bonds after debuting in ITZY. TWICE Momo and Jihyo admitted it took them almost 3 years to get to know each other better. Look at them all now. The girls who will debut will surely warm up to one another as they spend more time together, although some need more time than others and that's okay.
I cant wait for the debut i just know they are going to be my new favorite group
Yuna, you can do it! Let's go to Korea. You are doing great, and I believe you can gather all the remaining stones in the final performance.
Yuna is so pretty and talented and her personality is so charming ,i hope she recieves more stones so that she can debut rooting for u yuna wishing u the best good 🤞😊
Congratulations Camilla, can't wait for your debut, wishing the other contestants luck!!!!
I hope lexi debuts. I’m sooo invested in her journey, I would be extremely sad if she doesn’t get picked. 😭💔 Sooo very proud of her though! And the fact that she’s a representation for her people. #Hmong #lexusvang 💗💗
I need Kendall and Gina to be finalists they are amazing and very talented
So proud of Lexus. She deserved it!
No matter who debuts, I’ll happily support the girls. Because although I want them all to debut I know JYP won’t make a mistake with them
I'm so happy for Lexus, she totally deserves it😭🥺🖤
So happy and proud for Camila. All of the girls are amazing and all deserve to debut.
IM SO HAPPY FOR CAMILA!! 🥳
If Yuna, Kendall, Savanna, and Lexus makes it into the lineup next I’ll be so happy! They are my dream lineup!
Yuna, kendall, savanna, lexus, camila , cristina and melissa make the perfect line up (the rest are too young or not the right fit for the kpop group)
Kaylee is so well spoken for a 12 year old its insane. She holds herself to such high standards i worry that she’ll crack under the pressure. I hope if she debuts that her members will help protect her , especially since she’s going to be losing her teen years to be a kpop idol.
YESS, Camila !! She deserves it. Also she is definitely main vocal+ leader material ! Camila was, and still is my top pick, I'm so, so, so happy for her !! Here's hoping she is gonna be successful. 😚
I think they're gonna be a perfect and successful group. STAN A2K FOR BETTER LIFE ♡
I just want to say how much I love this Character Evaluation portion. It's so important because they will be role models for young people. No one's perfect, but in the west, we tend to glorify idols with attitude, drug use, and selfishness. Go JYP! This is how you train youngsters to use a platform to impact the next generation for good. ❤🙌👏👏
My only concern lies in the fact that the character evaluations took place on Day 4. It's quite a challenge to build substantial friendships or genuinely get to know each other in such a short span. Singing, dancing, and even star quality can be prepared and showcased effectively as they involve practiced skills. However, truly understanding each other's character and forming connections require more time and shared experiences. The depth of a person can't be fully captured in just a few days. 🕒💫 For the sake of the show and concept, I still do LOVE the idea.
I'm rooting for Lexi, Kaylee, Kendall, Camilla, Yuna and KG to debut
SAMEE
Totally agree, except Camilla. She gives me more of mature burlesque type vibe like PCD, not K-pop idol.
@@pinkoinkwink💀so that's why....
What about Gina😭
Yes ! I wanted
A2K will be a huge hit to the kpop industry ✨ The girls are ready goodluck ^^
They aren’t going to be a kpop group their just gonna train under their system
Since america doesn't have a big gg right now a2k will be very popular
No, they will be an American group trained in a kpop company
doubtful. Only Gina, kaylee (and maybe KG) have any hope to break into kpop since they can actually speak the language.
And lexi
camilla, lexus, christina,kg and savanna definitely ate it up and i could see the star quality in them, they are honest but careful and loose love it!!! also I love how kendall show herself moreee💞
The question for Kendall was much tougher than the rest, like:
Kaylee - you're talented, what kind of member would you be?
Camila - you speak 3 languages and performed better than on auditions, why?
AND THEN
Kendall - you were ranked at the bottom of who others want as a teammate, why?
She handled it very well 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was kind of worried for a bit, the way they edited it/the way she paused, I was thinking... oh dear they might have struck a nerve with this question. 💀 I don't think they meant it like that but I definitely would have had to take a breather after that question. She did good handling it.
@@johnnysphatass that definitely would hurt ANYONE to hear that you're the least liked person amongst a big group of ppl
Camila, Lexus and Kendall are top tier and my favorites. They are definitely gonna debut.
Hopefully, the members will be more than 5 cause if we're gonna base it on the intro, there are only five gems/stones.
you'd hope so, but I think a factor is gonna be that larger groups aren't common or really accepted in America. Like sometimes Americans act like it's crazy that BTS has 7 members when for kpop that's a pretty normal group size. Groups over there tend to be about 4-5 members.
@@crptpyrbut one thing I am really not sure about with A2K, will they be a American group OR will they be a kpop group and he just "selects" in this she members from America but wants to add Korean members or others from jype too?
I can see Savanna as a grounding energy in the group when things get crazy. When JYP questioned her dedication, I think he misread her. It’s often the ones who come across as high-energy and intense all the time that burn out quickly and are emotionally unstable. Savanna has a quiet, calm intensity that she knows how to unleash when and where it’s appropriate.
For Kendall, I see this as much more than an audition; it’s a spiritual journey in which she’s being given the opportunity to face her shadow side. If she chooses to fully embrace, process, and integrate the life lessons she’s experiencing, she can be a real gem.
Props to all these girls. Their level of talent, grit, and maturity just floors me!
Lexus finally getting 1st that was well deserved ❤
Every single one of these girls are talented in their own way. They are all so good at dancing, singing, and their talents that they should last episode. Hoping to see what they put together this episode!
Kaylee, Lexi, Kendall, Camilla and Cristina are the members I want to debut the most
poor kendall bro :( u can see the tears in her eyes when she found out she was last voted
Yeee she seems super introverted! As an introvert i find it hard to connect with people :') i feel for her!
@twinkleplansx pienso igual, es muy obvio el favoritismo de JYP y tambien juega en contra que es introvertida
I’m introverted but I do not have issue having connections or making friends. She doesn’t seem to as well. It’s just that she was more focused on her self-improvement and individuality right now. We can see she knows how to make friends when she does.
kendall은 한국행을 확정지을 것입니다. jyp가 선호하는 참가자이기때문이죠. jyp는 보스에요
@twinkleplansx okay but like how do you not feel bad? she's so sweet but shes just introverted
Im rooting for camila i hope she will debut,her vocals and dancing and rapping is so amazing def allrounder and she will be a good leader of the group goodluck girls❤😊
SHE ISSS🎉🎉🎉🎉
I really want all of them to debut together but if I really had to choose 6 members they would be Camila, Cristina, Kendall, Gina, Melissa and Lexus
I totally agree!
Switched Kendall to Savanna and we know Melissa not in anymore so switch her to Kaylee. That's an ACE team.
Savanna - Man, I’m so glad that Savanna got a stone 😭😭😭 I’m rooting so hard for that girl. What concerns me is that she ranked 6/10 in by her teachers, but its so sweet that Savanna is so well loved by her peers.
Christina / Camila - I’m not surprised at all that Christina and Camila got character stones, the way they cared for their teammates was made so clear throughout the show! But Christina’s story was so touching to me because she forced herself to be a more empathetic person. Its not easy to change yourself or be more empathetic, especially when you’re naturally more of a “thinker” type person. So I love that for her.
Lexus - I never would have guessed that Lexus was a team player if they hadn’t shown the bts, but now its quite clear that she more than deserves the character stone.
Kendall - I can't say i'm surprised that Kendall didn’t get a stone. Its nice that she’s opening up with the girls more, but that soloist kinda vibe came off very strong throughout the show. Hopefully this group mission will open her up a bit more to the feeling of being in a group.
Yuna - As for Yuna getting a stone, what surprised me most is that she came in number 2 of most liked teammate. After seeing how close she is with the girls in the bts, it makes sense. but then i was surprised again to see that she scored very low in terms of evaluations from her teachers. Not a great sign...but also i can also see why that would be the case, ngl. anyway, I’m very interested in what her team performance will look like. I want to see if she can clean up her dance and vocal skills. I'm not hopeful for the vocal skills considering her skill level and the ranking her teachers gave her, but she may be able to pull through with the dance.
Kaylee - I wish Kaylee had gotten a stone :( if she were just a little older, I would be rooting so much harder for her. Her voice is lovely, she answered the interview question so well and its clear that she's a hard worker that's brimming with potential. Nevertheless, even if she doesn't make it, I hope she can become a proper jyp trainee.
Savanna is in the near success. I hope she gets more songlines in their final performance to prove her singing improvement. Thats what she needs to prove most in their final mission. As you see she is always on the top in the other tests. She should give her best and prove her vocal improvement. I hope you would make it. Same with Christina I hope she could make it also she is a great teamplayer 🎉❤
KG?
@@imasunflowerlilfunny3353 KG's great, I have nothing against her. I liked her answer in the interview. I'm really interested to see if she'll be able to earn the character stone during the team mission and to see if she can improve her dance skills just a little bit more.
22:05 we're soooo proud of you Camilla you did a really great job and your next step is debuting, we love you and always support you❤
Im so happy about Yuna, I hope she gets more motivation from now on and get her place in the group. I really liked this top 5, congrats to Camila, it was really well deserved.
Congrats to Camila! So happy that Lexus, Yuna, and Savanna got stones as well, I’ve been rooting for them. I’m glad that through the Character Evaluation, I’ve gotten to know Cristina better, she seems like a very kind person.
as much as im hoping for lexi to debut, i also hope that everyone will be able to debut too. they have a very great chemistry and will form a very talented group!!
Camilla is my favorite talent and personality wise. So glad she’s going to Korea. I agree with those who say she has leader energy.
Camila deserved it frrrr! So happy for Lexus from getting first and also Yuna have that celebrity aura like she was born to do this! Cristina is so genuine like she's just naturally good!
Team Lexus!! She deserves to debut. You can just tell she is so genuine and so humble❤️❤️ also team Camilla!!❤️
Yuna was voted 8th from her teachers and trainers means she really needs to improve technically, it’s not only about personality or character, I hope and know she can do better.
I literally started crying when i saw Camila get all 4 stones, im so proud of her
Same bro
I'M SO HAPPY TOO, i've been rooting for her since day 1
I hope Camila and Cristina debut together. I want to see both of them in one group
*My A2K biases are down to four; Camila, Yuna, Kendall and Lexi. Other than that I hope they all debut and go to Korea!*
I’m so proud of Camila 💗 I’ve been rooting for her since episode 1.
Creo que en este punto todos coincidimos en que camila es la perfecta lider para este futuro grupo, me hizo muy feliz que sea miembro segura
I'm really happy for Camila , she's so talented, I literally jumped from happiness when he announced her name 🥰
Camila, we're insanely proud of you, es genial que hayas conseguido esto y espero que tengas un momento increíble entrenando en Corea para luego debutar, siento que serías una gran líder.
camilla empresses me everyday even more. you can tell she really is genuine she is perfect leader material. supporting her all the way to debut!
Can't believe my top 5 were the top 5 of the teachers.The more I look at Cristina and the way she speaks more she gives me leader vibes I really hope and pray Cristina and Lexi make it they were the ones who got my attention the most since episode 1 💗 I wish all of them will debut tho 😭
I’m getting so invested in these girls’ journey. I’m so scared for the success of this group. I just wish them the best. They’re all so talented!
They all are so sweet! Definitely one together and im so happy they all are getting along and there is no tension between them! Congrats camila definitely proved and deserves to go to korea! I cant wait for the performances
I’m really impressed with this format. It is respectful of the girls while also giving them important, authentic feedback. The extreme competitive nature of the kpop trainee phase is really toxic to the mental health of children and the industry forgets that these are kids. Really happy to see JYP breaking that abusive format and going for a healthier approach. I do wish they would have a minimum age limit as 12 and 13 is really too young. Set the minimum age to 16. Because JYP is using this new approach, I will definitely be supporting their next groups and other ventures.
This thing was recorded about a year ago, meaning that kaylee is 14 right now, surely 15 by the time the group debuts
The kpop trainee system takes about 1-2 years add audition and that can be around 3
Debuting in kpop at more than 18 is kinda risky
In fact for the audition they initially refused girls above 17
I want them to debut all seem so beautiful and with great talent that I can not even think if they separate them because I feel that they already created such a great bond of friendship
SAME!
“So Kendall, why do you think everyone hates you?” JYP got no chill 😂
So happy for yuna 🥺 she really deserves the character one
You can tell that even when times are hard for them they still give is their all and you can tell that everyone has their own type of passion.
yuna better debut SHES such a bright spirit and overall one of my favorites, I love all the girls tho so I’m manifesting they all debut
JYPのオーディション番組は平和で助かる
みんな実力者で心が綺麗だし経験も様々でおもしろいから本当に全員好きでも一応推しはYuna
今の時点でもう終わってるからあれだけど難しい事だけど全員でデビューして欲しいくらいそれぞれのダンスも歌も人柄も好き
めっちゃ同感！変な悪編とかないから安心して見られる
ホントにみんな素敵だよね
I'm so proud of all talent, especially Lexus and Camila, they are doing their best! They deserve it ❤️
im so happy camila made it. shes my favorite, she def deserves it.
Kg looks so pretty in this episode
*15:38** that whole 10-15 sec he talked about Camila made me so happy! I couldn’t agree more!*
