Don't do stupid things.

dude this is such a great video, made me cry too. i hope fuko can debut soon for you!

The song...the video....this gentle man's words...😭😭this video is so emotional

ouran being the best anime ive watched is SOMETHING

Ngl this made me cru

dude i feel you soooo much on txt, never thought i would enjoy kpop yet here we are also 'these guys here again' parts of the video are hilarious

You almost made me cry when you talked about Fuko. She was the one who introduced me to Girls Generation, and her performance of Into a New World was mesmerizing!! I loved her so much!!! She was my favorite contestant. I also feel like she was robbed. I really hops she debuts, she might have to debut as a solo artisit because now she is 20 and Korean Ent views you as too old to train for a group if your that age or older. People were saying that she was boring or that she couldnt pull off a dark concept, but I totally disagreed, I finally found someone who agrees with me! I was so angry that she was eliminated, and everytime I look at izna now I get sad. Justice for Hayashi Fuko!!!!!!

Honestly the finale was too cruel for Fuko

liking in 2025 because i desperately want the anime gods to remake this anime T.T

my heart still hearts so much for fuko, i unfortunately related heavy to feeling like i was grieving her and her debut. i hated how they treated her in part 2. to me she showed endless potential so i have high hopes for her future and will continue to support her but man it still hurts

Same thing happened to Jiwoo from R.U.N. :[ Its bs.

I accidentally spoiled myself between part 1 and 2, learnt that Fuko wouldn't be in the group and never picked the show back up. She was a shoe in, she was loved in and out the house from what we saw and performed amazingly ALL the time. She deserved so much better... but she is now getting in the "too old to debut" age (which is bullshit)... I hate that

Fuko in I-LAND 2: N/a, Chanelle & Jiwoo in R U Next?, and Sumin, Sunwoo, Narumi, Haram & Yona in UT hurts real so bad

The sad thing is Fuko is only one example of hundreads which is even more heartbreaking :( I feel like these shows sometimes do more harm to the trainees than good. The boys and girl are training so hard just to have their dreams crushed and it's so hard to watch, especially if they're so talended just like Fuko </3 Through the years i watched so many survival shows like pd101, boys planet, girls planet, iland, the unit, starlight boys etc. and they were entertaining but also mentally draining , I can't even imagine the hardships the trainees have to go through while they're participating in a show like this. I must say the best survival show I watched so far was the survival made by SM ent. to choose the last unit of nct called "NCT Universe: LASTART" - there were only 13 trainees, no eliminations and no fan voting, you could easily remember everyone, the judges and feedback were good and there was absolutely no evil editing and the performance level was so high, it was such a nice show to watch and it didnt even feel like a survival. I wish more shows were like this, with no unnecesseary drama...

Y’all get over it

Fuko not making it and the way they handled it made me stop watching survival shows all together. I just have no interest in getting invested in a talented trainee, just to watch people vote in untalented attractive people, and then see the group flop.

I don’t see a lot of people talking about Yoon Jiyoon attitude on ILAND 2 n/a. It really annoyed me the way she acted apathetic and insensitive in the show like so many girls must have auditioned to even be on the show and she seemed so ungrateful especially when she was sent to ground. (I understand she must off felt sad and hurt but she was not even taking part in the dance practice sometimes) The like ooh ahh performance really triggered me because she was giving no facial expressions or energy on purpose to show the judges how upset she was to be sent to ground. If it was a Solo mission I would not care as much if it was a GROUP mission and she let her teammates down and then had the nerve to cry when the judges gave her a bad evaluation. I honestly don’t know how she ended up debuting but if she acted like that on the show imagine how she acts now she’s debuted.

I hear “BWAAA” in my dreams 😂

if possible I would love to see a character analysis of the name cast if you would want. your break down of the twins was really good and i would love to see more like it.

That 7th member pick was diabolical. Whoever put that in the script is the devil

I watched multiple survival show. No matter how big of a talent you are, if the producer already got their lineup set, they gonna make you fall at all cost in order to bring up their pick, either via screen time, evil editing or worse, vote rigging. They also often uses the scenes of when judges comments after practices or performance to suit their biases. For example, if a contestant performed better then their fav, they would straight up cut out that contestant's commentary part out of the episode despite them performs well, so people won't focus on them more than their fav. Or when their fav made mistakes, they will tone down their criticisms and turn it into a wholesome scene. It's full of manipulations. People already know this as it was debunked before, but as usual they always get tricked time and time again. In Fuko's case, as you said, for the entire show, she always deliver without any mistakes, she was basically perfect. But hearing the producers criticize her saying she's staying safe when in actual she covered a lot of areas and delivered them without any mistake plus how she helps others in her team. That is a very obvious plot of them trying to sabotage her image, and that's very unfair, especially when they just ignores their favorite mistakes. Like bruh, she delivered, what more do you want? even after you did her dirty, she still delivered and you ended up ignored her anyway. WTF?

Fuko performance were all perfection. But I guess the producer was pretty adamant to pick the one that cracked their voices multiple time and the one can't sing over the Full Package talent that Fuko is. Edit: Just go and listen to izna new song, you will notice a voice that very out of place. If only Fuko is in izna, they would deliver that song in perfection without a doubt.

it was so weird on how they suddenly stopped showing fuko, i was like you knew that they were trying to not get her in the final lineup. (no hate, i loved the show and the final lineup) i feel so bad for her and i really hope she debuts in a group, same with yuju. they both deserve and need it. hopefully their future is like jeemin's where no matter how hard it was, she got in at the end. she fit every concept given to her, the judges were just plan on lying. i saw someone say she fits better as a sololist but imo, i think she fits better in a group instead. i feel like you covered this perfectly, especially your thoughts after she didn't get in.

Fuko in ILAND 2 Chanelle and Jiwoo in R U NEXT a ndSumin,Sunwoo,Narumi,Haram in UT hurts real bad 😭😭😭

Fuko got screwed by the producers. Fixed. She should sue. They should never be allowed to judge again and the company should be banned from producing such shows. They lied and were dishonest. That means fixed. Disgraceful and dehumanizing. Shameful

Jiwoo from ru next was also another case tbh. Its even worse for ru next since only 2 contestants were picked from votes, with the rest from judges. And as for screen time, Himena was absolutely robbed by not airing her first performance. At least himena debuted in myera

Between what they did to fuko in the finale and what they did to Yuko at the end of part 1 these producers should face jail time

I wouldn’t call it acting I would call it more so stage presence and I can understand to a degree why something of the sort it would be important

i definitely think fuko not making it into izna was less about talent and more about fitting the concept that producers were trying to conceive. imo fuko would do amazing in a pure or refreshing concept but they wanted members that could rap as well as sing because that's where kpop is trending. as far as the concept they were going for, there were contestants that just fit a little better than fuko and i think the final lineup is extremely cohesive. nevertheless it was heartbreaking watching her get eliminated, especially the way they dragged it out like that. i truly believe that fuko has a place in kpop and she embodies what an idol should be. i desperately hope she doesn't give up on her dream.

Boys planet failed krystian 😔

Guys! Remember that Sakurai Miu was a contestant in Nizi Project and then Girls Planet 999. In 2023, Produce 101 Japan The Girls aired and Miu won the show at 4th place. She was 21 years old at that time. I believe if Produce 101 Japan renews for a 4th season this year, Fuko still has the chance to come back and win. She'll be 21 years old this year. Same age as Miu when she finally made it

I didn't notice Fuko on girls planet, and I never watched I-Land 2 so I can't personally relate to your love for her. But as someone who to this day deeply loves a survival show contestant who was eliminated in the finale and never properly debuted after (Han Hyeri on Produce 101, almost 10 years ago), I completely understand the feeling you're talking about. No matter what her future looks like, you'll likely never forget her, at least not as long as you stay in the kpop community. I know I haven't

FUKO!.... Call your boy.

I’m a casual fan who just likes the music - not really invested into the people as much. But yeeesh are these survival shows brutal. I guess an equivalent is like doing 12 hour after school sessions in hopes to get into a prestigious university sort of deal but not making it.

I don't trust wakeone at all with how they treat idols, so I don't know what's going to happen to Fuko. All I know is she's adorable, hardworking, and insanely talented. ts is so rigged

The only Survival Shows I've watched fully have been Produce X 101, Produce 48, Produce 101 Japan The Girls (which isn't Kpop, but it's Kpop coded), the UNIT (which I didn't like) The Origin A, B or What? and Extreme Debut: Wild Idol, out of all... only Wild Idol and PD101 Japan The Girls I watched as it aired, the rest was because I enjoy the groups (with PDX101 being before X1's debut) Beyond that I've seen stages and I watched (only) Boys Planet's final episode.

Fuko deserves better like kim chaeyoung they look like sisters

The thing that annoyed about the show is the part were the producers pick members of the group, don't they form groups by votes of the viewers, what she made it via votes

I was going to vote because I liked Fuko from the beginning but I started watching ILAND Season 2 last year

The fourth category is Looks/ Visual. I'm surprised this wasn't included when you can be cut for that as well.

I never watched that show and I'd never heard of Fuko b4 this, but seriously.. your vid had me tearing up by the end.. your line at the end "screaming out to the world.. 'are you watching me?'" 😢 she should've made it!! those producers are morons =P

JUSTICE FOR FUKO! She got my vote every single timeeee!!

I felt like this with Sujung she was the best dancer but the judges held her to unresonably high standarts, always criticizing her, firstly for being just a dancer even tho they never had this problem with Koko then for being to close to the original performera adn so on.

Your video script and the editing make it so engaging! I love what you did there introducing Fuko. It’s a really great video!

27:06 fuko wouldve been such a supportive and great leader😭

13:54 "I hope she doing well and is Ha-

Awesome video man! I got my wife into Kpop and the survival side of how groups are basically made. My recommendation to people who are new to Kpop would be to watch the worst and best survival shows. To me the worst one has to be Mixnine because it pretty much wasted everyone's time and made no groups. It's a good educator in showing how much companies are actually out there aside from the famous ones and you get to see the talents that will eventually be in groups that are famous today. The best one to me is the one that made Stray Kids because it shows the level of freedom certain companies give and how self producing idols work. Maybe No Mercy for MonstaX or Idol Producer from China would work too, but JYP gave Bang Chan the freedom I have never seen in doing his thing and it paid off. It's an awesome genre of music and people should explore how each company runs. SM is unique, YG is the ghetto, JYP is it's own color, and Hybe is basically Thanos' infinity glove. There is a company out there for everyone with a select sound in music. You like ballads then Antena Music is for you and if you like straight bars then AOMG or Higher Music if for you. Just explore peeps!

i miss Fuko 🥲

I still cry about Fuko not getting picked...

title is so clickbait bruh, you only focus on your bias fuko losing and not really "the tragic nature of k-pop survival shows" like i expect it to be for like 20 mins straight im dead
