Dream Academy started out so nice....until it changed | DREAM ACADAMY SHADIEST MOMENTS: Missions 1-2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ต.ค. 2023
- 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

i started crying when Mei got eliminated, she did NOT deserve that
Its a survival show.....
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.😭
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 🇵🇭

Wow you almost got it. 5/6
Megan is not half Chinese from China she is half Chinese from Singapore
You got 5/6 😭
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
Manon answering questions like she's in a pageantry.
yeah i thought i was the only one seeing that
"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?
Sophia giving Camilla in 5th harmony vibes
For now it's all fun and jokes😂
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
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
@@user-uf3mk1ne3t i think they are all gorgeous and talented
Yes this lineup is SOLID
💯
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!
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 ❤
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
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 😂
5:55 "the song is all over the place" I GAGGED.
Brooklyn looks like Addison Rae
Mei was robbed so hard
For now, my top 6:
Samara
Lara
Sophia
Nayoung
Megan
Daniela
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.
The group was Now United. They are the 1st actual ever global pop group before vcha or dream academy
The group was Now United I’m pretty sure
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 😢
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
Mi top 6:
Samara
Sophia
Megan
Ua
Daniela
Nayoung
my baby marquise deserves better 🥺
Sophia
Lara
Samara
Ezrela
Nayoung
Manon
Emily
My debut group❤
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.
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.
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?
Samara
Lara
Megan
Nayoung
Yoonchae
Marquise
its like olympics its like eurovision, country vs country
EZRELAAAAAA I love her shes so mf funny
8:40
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.
The captions doesn't even make any sense. Flop
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.
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
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
