Hybe did not follow the usual format for survival shows because they did not want the editing to influence viewers' views, which tends to happen with other similar shows. Instead they made the contestants use social media to build their fan base. So its the contestant's task to charm and connect with fans -- plus of course to showcase their talents. Some people don't like this format, but I personally think it makes sense because I prefer the show itself to be as objective as possible instead of focusing on the drama and creating stories or controversies, etc. I just prefer to focus more on the singing and dancing. I totally agree with the line-up! Makes a lot of sense considering how talented they are.
@@wandeesthoughts That would work well if only the evaluators were also qualified enough Most of the time the contestants are more talented than the evaluators, and some judges could have questionable judgements
@@Desdex no her having a wide low range while supporting is just as impressive as girls hitting high notes. Just because she’s a different type of vocalist doesn’t mean she’s bad.
Sophia is my initial bias as a Filipino myself lol (and I also really like her for her versatility, resilience, and leadership skills). But I can't wait to get to know the girls better outside of the competition and see their relationship as members grow 💕
Manon just started singing and dancing with Dream Academy?? woow..... im impress now.... and Megan is a high fashion model?? Damn this group.... world domination for sure.
Thank you for knowing Megan ethnicity Is SINGAPOREAN 🇸🇬 Chinese and not China 🇨🇳 Chinese . Because I’m a singaporean and I feel so happy to have at least a little representation in the global girl group. I’m so happy for her :)
Half singaporean. Cause her mom is Cantonese and idk if her mom is full Singapore or half singaporean but she is definitely related to Singapore that’s for sure.
Yoonchae impressed me from the beginning! She was a dark horse with not much attention from the editing, but she is super talented and engaging and im excited to watch her grow!
This is definitely the best lineup that has come out of a survival show. Like take away those hardcore viewers, who are dedicated to those contestants that didn't made it. This is the lineup that fits the viewer and judges options the most, and there's no doubt the girls are talented. I personally don't think Dream Academy sucks, it was simply very different to what we are used to, but I like this, since it's hard for the producors to push a contestants down our throat like they do in other shows.
Low-key, theyre saying dream academy are sucks because they don't get the fact is Hybe want to make a global girl group and not a kpop group. Kpop stans never learned and they're too stubborn to understand the difference format than actual kpop survival show. Also, i know there will be comparison between the show and other kpop survival show.
I don't understand these Manon haters. I myself think that she lacks dancing skill & facial expressions but it does not take away her ability to sing and perform. She's already good & I know she can be great. Go look at other survival shows. Yall be surprised 😂
@@La-PetitMort Nah, just surprised Manon made it in despite lack of good feedback, lacks synergy among her members (ie votes among the cohort), and the aforementioned criticisms makes me think Manon was hard caried by fan votes. The other four options Ezrela, Emily, Marquise, and Samara (mostly) left more to be desired or was rifled with controvery (everyone knows who and why she was a risky pick). It is what it is. :)
I read all their profile discriptions and they seem to all like cats, and I think that's why they they're called Katseye. It's very interesting how their collective affinity to cats influenced their group's name.
4:57 Wait, THAT's Daniela??? I used to watch that america's got talent religiously when I was younger trying to copy the moves. Omgg I didn't know she was that same little girl I feel so proud rn. She's the same age as me too 😭😭😭
literally the best and most perfect lineup that came from a survival show. 3/3 of my og picks made it in, so proud of lara sophia and manon for making it! and the additions of megan, daniela and yoonchae are great too. one of the strongest lineups ever.
This is the best lineup coming out of Survival show.. I think they will follow girl crush rock kind of concept by looking at the members I am very excited for them debut 😍
They covered 4/7 continent base on nationality and descent like insane, if they debuted Celeste or Samara they could've had a Latin girl for even more diversity but I'm not mad at it this is perfect too. (and before some of y'all say what about Africa, Manon has ghanian descent)
@@jbonceu2457 no problem…. It would have been interesting if there was a one member per country rule (even tho all 3 girls from the US are very diverse)
I love Yoonchae too, so happy she made it 😊 Nayoung is a great vocalist but I had doubts because of her english pronunciations… i say this because they are targeting the west so singing in English is very important. But her wanting to be a soloist makes sense.. she has the perfect voice for a solo artist like lee hi.. imo 😊 hope to see one her debut soon.
Positions IMO: Manon: Lead Vocalist, Visual (has a unique style of vocal and if it were based if of personal preferences she’d be a lead vocal skill wise) Sophia: Leader, Lead Dancer, Lead Vocalist, Center (great in everything) Daniela: Main Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Rapper (if they have rappers she’d kill most likely a Lead Rapper, and one of the best dancers) Lara: Main Vocalist, FOTG (icon) Megan: Main Dancer, Sub Vocalist (dancing wise she is just spectacular and has good vocals) Yoonchae: Lead Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Rapper, Maknae (dancing is definitely her strong suit and I could see her rapping if they go in that direction, I think Main Rapper if that’s the case)
Everything here is almost perfect but I think Sophia deserves main vocalist,, although we havent seen much from her Im pretty sure she can belt out … Sophia and Lara are definitely giving power vocal duo
@@ryryryryryryryryryryryryryry i think that's exactly the reason. It's a confusing format and you don't really learn about the girls if you don't follow their socials, at least that's what was annoying for me. 😅
@@fromtheeastsidetothewestside because the voting was based on missions and people were voting based on their country favorite for a while, and the elimination was quite brutal you will get 😂anxiety while watching
The lineup is perfect but imo yoonchae should’ve debuted in a Korean group since she’s the only member rn that isn’t fluent, that will prob change vut besides that this was the lineup we needed
lmao, but you all want nayoung instead of her right? as if nayoung was also fluent in english? and its just the same situation of the foreigners being a kpop idol.
I think visual-wise, it's better for her to debut in a western girl group where her angular face & monolids are celebrated. English is something she could improve along the way. Although yes, I also think she's too young to debut but it may bring forth interesting unnie-maknae dynamics that would be adorable to watch.
Mistake in the video at 8:28, you used the Ram emoji for Yoonchae and put her sign as aries, but her emoji should be the archer, and her sign is Sagittarius. She is also the third member to be mentioned.
I think they should have debuted 7 people. however- they ethnically chose 1 person of each ethnic background- which is fair. IDK why yall love to erase the ethnic identities of Americans just bc they aren't from your countries. I understand your POV but I do not understand your inability to accept that someone is still part of your culture with their own unique experience. and supporting Samara, who 100% has done questionable things and is not too mart- is not something that is ok just bc she is Brazilian. Also, Celeste was not a good fit for the group. I think yall need to stop being close minded. Because to be frank, black people only got 1/2 of a black person. there was not a single full black person available. and yet you do not see a single one of us complaining about Manon not being truly black. because we recognize she had a black experience just like Daniella had an ethnically Central/South American Latina experience, whether or not it was exactly the same as our own because she lived in Switzerland, not Africa, not UK, not the USA. Still we accept her ethnic identity and yall need to get with the program too- because if yall were down for Daniella the way we are down for Manon there is a lot more to gain from that situation than looking at Samara the racist and Celeste like youve lost a child for the next however many years theyll be a group. In the most loving way possible- get it together.
picking the girls for their backgrounds only for inclusivity instead of seeing their talents is something.... this is the best lineup background wise and talent wise.
should I start watching the show now...? i didn't want to bcs my heart is fragile and... the little clips I saw were kinda cringely edited... like pd101 type sht
thats true! cant wait for the debut. Either way, i hope they can shuffle around center roles from time to time since the line up is soooo good :)@@min_mil
Honestly I don’t think Manon was the right person for the group, some of the other girls were a lot more talented. The only reason she made it was because of the fans who thought she was pretty.
Star quality is extremely important for a group. Andy i think Manon had the best star potential in the show. Also her vocals are great and tbh for someone who’s not a dancer she’s decent
@@Melissarougeas well as star power and potential which manon possesses, as for the other girls they have potential but not manon’s star power. If samara wasn’t problematic she would’ve had a spot but girly fumbled that for herelf🤷🏽♀️
@@Melissarouge Yes that’s true but I feel like ur talent and singing skills should be more important. Also Manon did really poorly in mission 3 when it came to charisma. She literally had one facial expression throughout the whole video that made it seem like she was bored.

I honestly prefer this format. Less useless drama and background, while more focused on actual performance capabilities
I get it but I would have liked weekly evaluations so that we can see how the contestants improve
@@wandeesthoughts That would work well if only the evaluators were also qualified enough
Most of the time the contestants are more talented than the evaluators, and some judges could have questionable judgements
I genuinely don't want their songs to have any rap verses, they'd do amazing as a vocal team.
Tbh they'll forced Manon to take that role since her singing and dancing skills it the lowest out of all
@@sbonelob4146I’m glad you cleared that because they consistently discredit her for no reason. Worst singer is a crazy lie, objectively.
I like Manon's low tone, it's rare, best for harmonizing and it gives rnb vibes.
@@Desdex no her having a wide low range while supporting is just as impressive as girls hitting high notes. Just because she’s a different type of vocalist doesn’t mean she’s bad.
Sophia is my initial bias as a Filipino myself lol (and I also really like her for her versatility, resilience, and leadership skills). But I can't wait to get to know the girls better outside of the competition and see their relationship as members grow 💕
It’s kind of hilarious cause 3 out of 6 girls said they would be a cat, and manon a panther, so Katseyez feels very fitting
Though poor dog daniela
Lmao Sophia said she would be a sloth 😂❤
My favorite duo is definitely Lara and Sophia
Manon just started singing and dancing with Dream Academy?? woow..... im impress now.... and Megan is a high fashion model?? Damn this group.... world domination for sure.
no she already singing and creating a song before she join dream academy
Thank you for knowing Megan ethnicity Is SINGAPOREAN 🇸🇬 Chinese and not China 🇨🇳 Chinese . Because I’m a singaporean and I feel so happy to have at least a little representation in the global girl group. I’m so happy for her :)
She’s Singaporean????
Half singaporean. Cause her mom is Cantonese and idk if her mom is full Singapore or half singaporean but she is definitely related to Singapore that’s for sure.
The other half is prob half American
They are my line up 6/6. I predicted it. Talent wise, visual wise and country wise. Kudos to hybe for listening from the fans ☺️☺️
SAMEEEE I WAS SO HYPED 😍💯🤍
SAME HERE 😭 thank god i decided to only tune for DA and not ru next
Yoonchae impressed me from the beginning! She was a dark horse with not much attention from the editing, but she is super talented and engaging and im excited to watch her grow!
Manon is my bias.
Yoonchae is my bias wrecker.
And honestly this is the best lineup.
I agree and Manon is my bias too
Bro Manon was my bias from day one 😭😭😭😭
Manon supremacy ❤❤
I hope HYBE promote them in korean music show like YG so it'll attract more international kpop fans that don't even know they exist
This is definitely the best lineup that has come out of a survival show.

Not to mention they're still gonna be practicing and preparing for their debut so
They're angry Samara fans.
@@La-PetitMortand is!!! Glad I’m not the only one that caught that.

Manon has been eye-catching to me since the first performance. Her voice is very smooth and nice to listen to and she exudes a very nice charisma
they're all so good. I hope they get to re-record "girls don't like" and release it as a pre-debut single! that song should be on the radio right now.
Same i love dirty water a lot and I want to stream that song on Spotify
@@wandeesthoughtsand dirty water too. that song is a bop
I read all their profile discriptions and they seem to all like cats, and I think that's why they they're called Katseye. It's very interesting how their collective affinity to cats influenced their group's name.
It also might be a subtle nod to the famous girl group, The Pussycat Dolls.

Sophia - Leader, Lead Vocalist, Dancer
Lara - Main Vocalist, sub rapper
Megan - Lead/Main Dancer, Center Vocalist, Rapper
Daniela - Main Dancer, Vocalist
Yoonchae - Visual, Vocalist, lead dancer, maknae
Manon - FOTG, center, Vocalist

Lara, Sophia, and Daniela were a given.
This is the best lineup coming out of Survival show.. I think they will follow girl crush rock kind of concept by looking at the members
I am very excited for them debut 😍
I agree but also think they will have a bit of an r&b feel
Im pretty sure it will be more like the Break Free promo Video or RnB like XG Left Right
Concept: fierce and empowerment
Hopefully the Netflix documentary will be better💗
I really hope so can’t wait for it to drop
Daniela was also in the show called SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE she was in the TOP 10 ❤🎉❤
She’s so talented
Manon is my bias ❤🎉😊
We stan having the right opinion bestie
They covered 4/7 continent base on nationality and descent like insane, if they debuted Celeste or Samara they could've had a Latin girl for even more diversity but I'm not mad at it this is perfect too. (and before some of y'all say what about Africa, Manon has ghanian descent)
Daniela is a Latin girl. She has Cuban and Venezuelan descent
Daniela has family from Cuba
@@dallasmac right I forgot there were latinas from north america too for some reason😅 thanksss
@@jbonceu2457 no problem…. It would have been interesting if there was a one member per country rule (even tho all 3 girls from the US are very diverse)
It’s about who has the most talent not their nationality. They have they the chance but they have to pull through with their talent:
Yoonchae was my bias since mission one and all my favs except Emily made it in the final group
I wanted Nayoung at first but Yoonchae fits better in the group in my opinion
I love Yoonchae too, so happy she made it 😊 Nayoung is a great vocalist but I had doubts because of her english pronunciations… i say this because they are targeting the west so singing in English is very important. But her wanting to be a soloist makes sense.. she has the perfect voice for a solo artist like lee hi.. imo 😊 hope to see one her debut soon.

Positions IMO:
Manon: Lead Vocalist, Visual (has a unique style of vocal and if it were based if of personal preferences she’d be a lead vocal skill wise)
Sophia: Leader, Lead Dancer, Lead Vocalist, Center (great in everything)
Daniela: Main Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Rapper (if they have rappers she’d kill most likely a Lead Rapper, and one of the best dancers)

Everything here is almost perfect but I think Sophia deserves main vocalist,, although we havent seen much from her Im pretty sure she can belt out … Sophia and Lara are definitely giving power vocal duo
Sophia can be a mainvocalist. She sings in theater
Perfect lineup from a survival show
I agree
Megan and daniela mi duo favorito 💖🔝

Being surrounded by English speakers I'm sure she'll easily learn as time goes by
She will be fluent in no time, just be patient
The only thing not perfect is that they went with 6 members instead of 7 😂
6 están bien para que tanto
