Article: 'Produce 48', what if an 'all Japanese group' debuts?

1. [+1,633, -59] Let's just debut a Japanese group and keep them in Japan
2. [+1,357, -66] Even if they debut, I can already smell failure~ ㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+1,331, -56] It doesn't even matter whether they're pretty or not at this point, they're so, so behind on talent and skill... they're not even half as good as the Korean trainees....
4. [+69, -2] Mnet is stupid to let Japan get a free ride on the Hallyu that we struggled to create
5. [+57, -8] Fine, up to Twice, it's acceptable, but you should speak Korean properly if you want to debut in Korea. Do you know how hard Korean celebrities work to learn new languages for foreign advancements?
6. [+36, -2] It's all going according to the Japanese's plan ㅋㅋ a free ride on the pouplarity of K-Pop
7. [+28, -4] It's obvious that agencies saw Twice's popularity with their Japanese members so they're trying to recreate that now but 'Produce 48' is basically going to end up another AKB48 with a random Korean trainee stuck in ㅋㅋ what did that Korean trainee do to deserve this?
8. [+25, -3] I actually think a new girl group from #13 down including Jang Wonyoung and Kwon Eunbi would be more successful than the top 12.
9. [+17, -4] I feel like the top 4 are super shameless... they're so untalented. Aside from Lee Chaeyeon. When Lee Chaeyeon felt that her rank was higher than she deserved, I wanted to tell her that she's actually the best out of the top ranks. #1, #2, #4... speechless. I don't care how popular they are, their skills are just not there.
10. [+14, -1] I honestly think there was a prior agreement to the show that a certain percentage of the debut team has to be Japanese. Probably something like seven Korean trainees to three Japanese members. I just don't get how the Japanese kids can be not only so ugly but bad at dancing and singing too. Why pick them at all? If all the otakus are loving them so much, then go vote for them at the AKB elections ㅡㅡ as expected, otakus are voting for members just as ugly as them, tsk tsk.
