Dream Academy started out so nice....until it changed | DREAM ACADAMY SHADIEST MOMENTS: Missions 1-2

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2024
- These first few episodes break down a lot of interesting things-specifically the idea of a global girl group in a competitive environment where whole countries are, allegedly, throwing all their support behind one contestant. Is this fair for the majority nationality on the show (American)? Also the girls are very open about how difficult this journey is. Hybe, take care of the girls, PLEASE

The biggest issue was they didn’t show the girls personalities and abilities enough for the voting
I thought the part where they had to choose was so unnecessary lmaoooo. Just added more tension the girls don’t need. Also Mei…she was one of my favorites.😭
i started crying when Mei got eliminated, she did NOT deserve that
Its a survival show.....
Ngl I watched the whole show between yesterday and today and I have no idea who Mei is
She wasn’t that great
She came pretty late, the last Korean and Japanese casting bc they were running out of time. We barely saw her in the docu compared to everyone else but she was better than a lot of the people who were there for longer, however, she was absolutely the right move to be eliminated at the time as everyone else that made it longer were better and more popular as well
If u didn’t know she is debuting in iNKODE ent. New group, SAY MY NAME. There are 2 other members that u might be familiar to u, they are Hitomi (from IZONE) and Seungju (former My Teenage Girl contestant)
My Top 6 Picks
1. Nayoung
2. Sophia
3. Lara
4. Samara
5. Megan
6. Daniela
I love manon so much but i need her vocal showcase more in Mission 3
Agree
she has in both missions and Daniela and Meghan haven’t done shit when it comes to vocals and yet you put them there
also samara is problematic asf so i would take her off if I were you
@@ggcntrl girl, it's been a long time since I commented about the line up and before the issue of samara came out
No doubt your top pics are almost the same of many and they definitely going to debut and blow the world because Samara and lara: main vocalist for sure they are the main assets of group sophia : all rounder and charmer she is definitely star material nayoung : vocals aswell as Korean definitely she will be one megan and Daniela :dancing queens and definitely slay for sure and plus i have yoonchae ( not sure) but chances are there they'll make it 7 and add her she has that charm and trained in kpop system but definitely this will be top pics without doubt and talented for sure
Honestly not surprised a lot of the girl's support come from their countries, considering how Hybe introduced the show and how there are no episodes, people will obvi vote trainees based on their nationality/ethnicity
Anways, my picks:
Nayoung
Lara
Sophia
Samara
Megan
Daniela
Manon
Someone with taste!
beautiful chefs kiss ! i can see an r&b concept w/ theese girls
@@chaehyuntiger5813 tyyy, I personally prefer 7 members for this group tbh
@@AfroAlbinoQueen Yesss, I'd honestly wouldn't mind a toned-down pussycat dolls vibe with this lineup
Exactly. What else are they supposed to vote on? Visuals? For the most part, all the girls are equally pretty. We know little about their personalities are how they interact with each other.
The casual fan doesn't know enough about vocal and dance technique to differentiate who is truly top tier and who is more average. And because they were introduced by nationality and ethnicity, that's what people are going to focus and vote on. There was a kpop producer who watched all the fancams and picked Samara as the one person who was debut ready. I had NO idea because I don't have that kind of background.
This video was better than all their material because the editing made it fun and interesting. Idk why but Dream Academy gives me somber vibes
i think they really intended it to happen since the whole show will be produced by netflix so yeah they makin sure that the fun will be displayed there and not in hybe plus videos
Because they're kpop wannabees and not organic Asian idols
My Dream Debut Team 💃🏻🎼
Nayoung (2002) - Vocal 🇰🇷
Sophia (2002) - Vocal 🇵🇭
Manon (2002) - Vocal 🇨🇭🇬🇭
Daniela (2004) - Dance 🇺🇲
Lara (2005) - Vocal 🇺🇲🇮🇳
Megan (2006) - Dance 🇺🇲🇨🇳
We need rap too
Wow you almost got it. 5/6
Megan is not half Chinese from China she is half Chinese from Singapore
You got 5/6 😭
oo nayoung is the only one you got wrong and she’s korean it’s yoonchae
What the hell. They made them train a whole year only to tell them theyre going to participate in a survival show? Wha- Why? Were they at least getting paid? At least this should classify as great work experience
right ?? 😭 but trainees absolutely do not get paid ever, if anything in kpop the trainees pay dues to the company (thankfully not dream academy i don't think)
The group that Samara would be part of was Now United, she was doing really well and was the Brazilian public's favorite to replace the intriguing Brazilian (ANY) but something happened and they discarded her, leaving her with text only for two terrible famous Brazilian boys
Now united is shit... they only take new members that are already famous since Savannah
Who are they anyways
@@guinnmyahslaysstaymad I thought they were flops, but I searched their TH-cam channel, they have over 8 million subs 💀
@@guinnmyahslaysstaymad no one... they promote themselves as global group but do not even promote in the US... where they are based
I'm happy my girl got out
Out of the other contestants here at Dream we know she is in fact almost a signee and she is debut ready, I'm happy for her it's her time to shine ❤
I don’t think the issue with American support is because there are a lot of Americans but because Americans don’t really think that way when it comes to choosing who to support. Other countries maybe feel more national pride around their person getting chosen
agreed
Maybe if America wasn’t made from racist white people other countries in America would have voted for her but america isn’t united at all. Look who we have running for president it’s ridiculous
But this is a talent show, not a "showcasing my country show"
@@Karina-bw8er Whether or not it’s a show about showcasing one’s country, a lot of people are still going to vote with pride for their country in mind.
@@annie.hi. as well as they are gonna vote for the one they think is prettier, but it doesn't make sense to complain bc you're not white or pretty does it?
I think
Sophia
Lara
Daniela
Samara
Megan
Nayoung
Would make an amazing group
But i hated it when they eliminated mei she deserved better such a pure sweet kind girl
Omg mei i miss you
This! Let's manifesting this talent > visual
@@SunooSunghoon-v6k i think they are all gorgeous and talented
Yes this lineup is SOLID
💯
Manon answering questions like she's in a pageantry.
yeah i thought i was the only one seeing that
Actually, it's a great and respectful thing that the CEO treated them as business partners instead of products like what other how agencies always do. Like how he gave every member of BTS company shares before BigHit went public, making all of them overnight millionaires... he knows his company won't be where it is now without the help of his business partners!
Actually a few members such as Manon only got to train for three months. This group is so unorganized🙄😓
Anyways 💗 the older girls Manon and Nayong
Can you talk more about that? cause the judges they would always make weird remarks but never give a back story and it was EXTRIMELY annoying
5:55 "the song is all over the place" I GAGGED.
🤡
Sophia giving Camilla in 5th harmony vibes
For now it's all fun and jokes😂
For now 😂
most ppl will vote based on their countries, it is not something that you tell them before they do it. if you want to guide them, tell them, and they'll consider voting according to your guidelines. but you can't stop them from choosing whom they relate to.
Brooklyn looks like Addison Rae
For now, my top 6:
Samara
Lara
Sophia
Nayoung
Megan
Daniela
Mei was robbed so hard
Sophia
Lara
Samara
Ezrela
Nayoung
Manon
Emily
My debut group❤
Mi top 6:
Samara
Sophia
Megan
Ua
Daniela
Nayoung
don't worry even if its country vs country we do all know they are already talented to be an idol much better than the already debuted idols 😂
The contestants that caught my eye so far are nayoung, yunchae, megan, sophia, lexie, and ua. hope this girls debut. i feel sad for mei she should've gotten through. i was also rooting for her. sadly, she got eliminated 😢
my baby marquise deserves better 🥺
Ezrela and crack lol, but so true.
I love how Brooklyn talks about the nationalities thing, being right next to Samara who as we all know get's ton of support from her fellow Brazilians.
And yesss to all the Mei love!
Actually, I was cautious when I heard that there was a Brazilian among the 20 girls, mostly because of the "thing" with Leia (if you know, you know). That left me with a bad aftertaste. I'm now more secure about Samara, her behavior seems ok, she seems like a good and respectful girl, studious ,a hard worker, cheerful, caring, a bit more of a ~chill vibe~, basically all the good qualities a Brazilian would like to see shown as a representation of the country. I'm cheering for her as well as for Manon, Lara, Sophia and Mei, even if the judges don't choose them for the final team, I will still wish for their success in life.
@@TamaraEveryBlack "I'm now more secure about Samara, her behavior seems ok,"
Uhh, Idk how to break it to you if you haven't heard already but Samara has been liking posts on tiktok that are apparently racist towards Indians (though being friendly enough for Lara to call her a "soulmate") and Zionist. And she's part of this evangelical church there that propogates anti-Indian and anti-Chinese rhetoric. So maybe you did have the right to feel a tad bit concerned.
I know Gabi from Blackswan seems ok, so at the very least Brazilians don't have completely terrible people representing them.
@@lbell9695 well, about being Zionist, many people in Brazil are Zionists, mainly bc of the mega churches (and the catholic previously) that have been kind of brainwashing people since forever, plus a very biased media. I am not a Zionist myself but I understand why she would be. Condenable? Maybe, but I don't think that will be specially troublesome for her in the k-pop industry, as long as she don't say or post anything in her social media from now on. Now about racism or xenofobia against Indians or any middle eastern person, that's troublesome, because she will have to deal with fans from all around the world as well as other girls or people working in the same industry, and if she's visibly uncomfortable with middle easterners, she might be kicked out very quickly.
@@lbell9695Which church is anti-indian and anti-chinese? I never heard of it.
@@lbell9695 Just for you to know, these are fake news. She is a Christian(I don't know if catholic or protestant) but not a sionist/zionist, who don't even configurate in the "christian" category. Do not believe the haters. These fake news are mostly perpetuated from people who don't like to see a black latina girl succeeding. Please, check your fonts before assuming things and jumping into conclusions. Don't fall for that. Thank you
Hybe would definitely debut these trainees in terms of their favorites and in talent wise. P.S i have watched all of hybe's survival shows and have been nearly 80% right in all of my predictions from differemt hybe shows.
1) Sophia (no.1 trainee/ace)
2) Daniela (main dancer/center)
3) Nayoung (main vocal)
4) Samara (lead vocal)
5) Megan (lead dancer)
6) Yoonchae (FOTG, maknae)
If there's 7) Celeste (Hidden Gem)
i don't think two korean trainees will make the debut cut
@@Nicole-ep1vti disagree with you. It just seems right to debut 2 koreans as they will most likely be promoting in korea and need to appeal to the general public there. In addition to that, this show is related to kpop plus it is handled by mostly koreans because of hybe.
I feel like Yoonchae won’t make it and more likely MANON
@@annagurtner9606 noo totally disagree cuz she's 100% debuting based off her talents alone and potential to grow more compared to the other trainees and also as a representative of Korea cuz of Nayoung who will most likely be eliminated. I doubt manon to make it to the final lineup as for the 3 missions, she hasnt even gotten a single priase from the judges and its very much disappointing as a viewer itself cuz she doesn't really show her talents well enough and the reason mainly is due to her expressionless performances since mission 1, she hasn't improved her facial expressions even though there were a lot of time given to her to practice.
Actually I have an updated lineup cuz of the mission 3 commentary on nayoung. Here's my predicted lineup:
1) Sophia (ACE / Leader / Main Vocal)
2) Daniela (CENTER / Main Dancer)
3) Samara (Lead Vocal)
4) Megan (Lead Dancer)
5) Lara (Lead Vocal)
6) Yoonchae (Lead Dancer)
My prediction on who will be eliminated are:
1) UA
2) Emily
3) Nayoung (Judges' Decision)
@@ecander6777 your new line up is actually my original line up when i've said there are not going to be 2 korean members :) ... if Samara won't make it due to the controversy I think Ezrela (bades on judges) or Celeste (based on voting) could have a chance.
After watching the docu, i felt bad for some girls in the show like mei, ua, celeste and marquise. I think they don't have as much screentime and interview like the other girls. I get that they joined later but they were also in the academy.
About the clip from Brooklyn, I actually think american k pop fans tend to not necessarily like the usa that much, americans often like to hate on their country and i think they are less likely to vote for Americans.
I think that was actually very important to note. Being from a big country or a country with many viewers is not the same depending on the countries' cultures (saying this as a european)
The group was Now United I’m pretty sure
Obviously you're not listening on what Sophia's said hahaha try to rewatch again.
My Top 6 and I hope 7
1. Lara
2. Sophia
3. Manon
4. Daniela
5. Megan
6. Yoonchae
+1
7. Marquise/ Nayoung
How's it feel to be right?
I did not like how they eliminated people. It was wrong. They lied to the girls. I love hybe.. did not like like colab
The voting of people was kinda savage I can't lie
LMFAO fr, the doc said oh yeah the teams were made for balance when LETS BE REAL its so obvious now they were just trying out different lineups based on vibes
I definitely agree the formation of the teams seemed to be strategic in the girls they wanted, like in ones like Pink Venom, Fearless, Wannabe, and even Buttons a little some girls are featured a lot more than others and those seemed to be the ones who made the group with the exception of in Wannabe. because I feel like people probably would vote more for people they saw sing and dance more as opposed to like Celeste in fearless for example: she literally had only like 1-2 lines.
The whole Nayoung situation was the worst take the jugde could give. She had 10 secs and devoured her ten seconds in comparison to the other girls. Her delivery was great and as such she was noticed. This show is shady, cause no one questioned the line distribution.
So sad she wanted to be a sololist cause her debut was so secured always in the top 3 during the votings and her vocals is amazing
@@M.Manzanita They used that as an excuse, the girl literally joined another tv competition and is now in a group. They were searching for a reason to get her out, EXPECIALLY considering she said this in confideciality
The group was Now United. They are the 1st actual ever global pop group before vcha or dream academy
There was Boys World.
@@SakuOhno boys world isn’t global like now United. Now United actually has kids born in different countries coming together m. And they’ve been together since 2016
Nah I actually kinda messed with Iliya until she went scorched earth on the girls when she answered the EXACT same question.
She got more votes than some other girls but they didn’t get so snarky.
How can in a "global" selection like this an ENTIRE continent NOT BE REPRESENTED?
Where is 1 African girl? Are there no girls in Africa? What's the programs direction to say about this?
Manon is half Ghanaian
@@Blue_Theerapanyakul She's born and raised in Switzerland, as she said herself in her intro video, which as we all know, makes her a Swiss girl. She also holds the Swiss flag and never self-identified as Ghanian, as she was not born nor raised in Ghana, so she's obviously not Ghanian.
@@tgbateriashe has mentioned shes ghanian many times and always brings it up weird ur dismissing that
@@tgbateriashe herself has said she reps both which puts her at an advantage cause shes the only European and African representative
@@lillcutie6189 we need someone who has lived or is living in the Africa continent.
Unpopular of the most unpopular opinions, Manon needed more time to work on herself because she was so self assured that she was a fan favourite that she hardly put in work and still debuted. Go watch the full series.
hah? i seen ts like the past 5 vids of katseye and DA related vids i watched
id even say its one of the most popular opinions
@@Ourelleetsy Im glad it’s becoming a known opinion, I just added that so I don’t seem like I’m trying to command her life and the companies decisions
Unpopular opinion, but Manon got hate for no reason at all. I think because she was the first girl to be brought in for training after the others had been there for months. They just hated her, I don't know if you guys remember, but before she came, they were all hating on her and stalking her and then when she came, they were so fake and they excluded her in everything, of course the poor girl is gonna be insecure, and I understand why she missed classes. She probably thought she would never debut with the way they all treated her and she was a beginner and last in everything. I don't think she was self assured of being a fan favorite because that was before they went public. We can actually only see her working really hard after they went public. The other girls who came in after her at least came in together and by the time they came in the other girls already knew like, oh we're gonna get more people we need 20 people. I don't think she needed more work. You can tell in the missions that her vocals are good and stable and she dances really well and she has that star quality that makes everyone notice her. What other work could be done? I think she gets hate because she's very popular for being pretty. But some girls are only popular because of their country votes lol. It doesn't matter how much work you put in if you're not good. If we were to choose by skill set, Nayoung, Samara and Lara should've made it as lead vocals, Emily, Daniela and Megan as lead dancers. Manon, Ezrela, Marquise and yongchae as lead visuals and performers, even though these four are not the best in vocals or dance, but they're the most stable during performances There were so many other girls that I thought deserved to debut as well, but sadly they were not popular with the fans. And that's why we have the group we have now. Again, that's just my opinion.
@@NicoleMylene tbh my opinion on her has changed since I wrote the comment….the show was crazy fucked up and scripted, and them girls had it out for her from the beginning. I don’t see why Adela was blaming MANON for her getting eliminated…it doesn’t make sense because Manon didn’t vote her out did she? Plus I find it hella weird how they complained about her breaking rules and all that when they didn’t even live together so how the hell did they see her breaking rules? The producers CHOSE manon late and then expected her to somehow be secure and dance like a robot. It’s so stupid and I honestly don’t agree with whatever shit they put into that show.
I’m sorry for blaming her before, I only looked at the surface but I’ve dug deeper since then. Also this is kinda disconnected but Katseye had a show somewhere and their outfits were ridiculous… you could literally see their a** cheeks and yet if that had been a fully Korean girl group people would be complaining about how they’re being sexualised etc. I think the company has it out for the whole group, being American somehow. Idk why they made them then if they ain’t gonna take care atleast of their mental health and privacy.
The group samara auditioned for is called "now united" it's the first global pop group of the world (with one people from each country) i'm a big fan of them, samara didn't make it because at the time she was fourteen and some members were like, 24, but she was so talented already..
Just so everyone know the candy Swedish fish is not actually from Sweden.. we do in fact not even sell it here as far as I know
It shouldve been 7 members and with marquise
It shoulda been 2 groups
I’m confused where did you find all of this content this long ago???
Why Hybe put Manon in the group ? After all the negative things which we watched about her
🤡
Bro mei DESERVES to debut
Samara
Lara
Megan
Nayoung
Yoonchae
Marquise
"its really hard for us amareicans" ngl as a brazillian this made me laugh
In context the comment made sense though
how? shes not wrong the American girls struggle with getting votes because Americans dont push or have the urgency to vote and even if they did, theres so many Americans
@@annie.hi. I don't think it does. It was hard for her, not for all the american contests. It was hard for her because she was one of the least popular american contestants and one of the least popular of all the contastants overall. But there are american contestants who were popular like Lara, Daniela and Emily, so for me, it doesn't make sense. This is the kind of comment that wouldn't make sense in almost any context
@@gicelemiranda4245 Emily didn’t rank very high in the last elimination either, even though she is performing very well. Lara is Indian American so that is different. It’s true that Americans don’t vote with the same pride for their country mentality, so that becomes a disadvantage if other contestants are getting votes based on their country of origin. This is what I meant by context.
what are you implying with being brazillian lol?
EZRELAAAAAA I love her shes so mf funny
its like olympics its like eurovision, country vs country
I’m not sure why so many people are bothered by the members being asked to pick who they would want in a group/eliminated. Yes it was a very tense moment that must’ve been difficult for them, but this is also very normal standard questions for trainees. Most groups out there were asked things like this as lineups got decided, even if it was never shown to the public.
Since there’s not a lot of behind the scenes content to thoroughly get to know the contestants skills and personalities I actually really valued getting to see this input from the members since they would know best.
How can i watch this
3:37 Not this clip llmaoijoi
manon ate slayed devoured
8:40
The captions doesn't even make any sense. Flop
Do u hate Taylor Swift?
HELPPPPP “ITS REALLY HARD FOR US AMERCIANS” GURL STFU YALL HAVE IT EASY FR
She wasn’t talking about life in america lol she meant that Americans are gonna support her just bc she’s from america, which is very much true, she just worded that weird
7:47 idk, in my opinion it WAS a white girl complaining. Nationality may have something to do with the voting, but also visuals and personally, which should not matter that much but they always do (I don't see her complaining bc more people are gonna vote for her just bc she is cute and white). If she had enough talent she shouldn't worry about that.
So you completely missed the fact where one of the producers pointed put people were voting based on country huh? Get your facts straight because she was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
Pls let us not debut any minors this ain’t a kpop gg🫠🤦🏻♀️
I have so many problems with this entire program. One of them being that some of them are minors.
🤡
@@hayamirin6795 ??
Americans doing too much...honestly I barely notice Lara as an American first
I always go oh Indian....sure as hell Americans arent voting for her that I know!!!
It's Indian vs America
Lara and Karlee, don't really see them as Americans, for me they're "oh, India and Hawaii, cool"
tbh majority of indian audience don't even know about this show
Shoulda been
Sophia
