Tbh I think manon guaranteed her spot once we saw the art film. Might be a stretch but she caught the eye of so many ppl without actually showing her skills yet.
Sophia literally just waited for her members 😂 Sophia the 1st literally. First in 62 countries, 14 members want her i their group and lastly 2 out 3 judges picked her. What an unstoppable force. 🔥
i had a feeling Sophia will debut during the art film. When she was looking around the girls, asking them if they will play the game or not, and asking them to form a circle. She looked like a leader that time. more than her talents and visuals, her eloquence won me over. a perfect representative of the group. she had the little bits of everything.
I would go with Sophia: Mission 1 Lara: Mission 3 Daniela: Mission 3 Yoonchae: Once Nayoung was eliminated Megan: During the live finale Manon: Art Film
this is correct but i’d also give lara mission 1, she was pretty much a lock since the beginning too. and for manon, the promotional photos instead of the art film - people were going crazy over her headshots. they dropped prior to the art film no?
Tbh i think it was the antifragile mission that cemented yoonchae's spot. They were singing live and she was honestly the best performer in that performance. For both team A and B imo and she wasnt even top 10 for me before that performance.
Yoonchae was consistently popular with Nayoung throughout the competition according to votes, so it honestly could've been either one of them. Megan was actually the member pushed into the lineup by the judges pick/scoring (not meant as hate towards Megan whatsoever, as she became one of my picks after Nayoung was eliminated).
Ngl eliminating Nayoung was such a waste 😢she was giving the same vibes as Manon and idk why but she also gave Charlie’s Angels look. In my opinion she had good stage presence and vocals and I though she would at least survive till the last competition but guess not…🤷🏻♀️
Ngl form day one I always knew Manon would make it 😅 the show itself felt like they were going for a group that has “intrigue” and she just fits that so well. And I wasn’t wrong either cuz it seems like every videos’ thumbnail that talks about Dream Academy has Manson in it as she’s basically like that picture face for the show. While I do wish that the show showcased her vocals better I do think she was gonna be in the group either way. And her being the main for the art film definitely elevated her chance to get votes. Cuz let’s be honest once your invested in someone it’s hard to let go even when other contestants may rise to a bigger level 😅
I feel like we really don't see many south Asian Americans in the western music industry, so Lara is a great addition! Saying this as a brown person of the same age!! ❤❤
Can't say that I don't agree with the judges decision though. She's very talented, has stellar stage presence, is one of the best dancers on the show, and has great chemistry with the rest of the lineup (I saw their first livestream, and the group chemistry is already great). I think she's a good fit! 👍🏼
I was honestly quite shocked at her low score by the judges considering how consistently good she was throughout the competition. Maybe she lacked star quality to them or something? 🤔🤷🏽♀️
Her vocals might be the reason. Even though she sings fine, it's not phenomenal. And in groups like this, vocals come first before dance skills. She's comparatively the same as Megan's vocals. The thing is, Megan fits the group more perfectly visually. Emily and Ezrela just look too cute for this group. Even Yoonchae, the youngest, fits better visually. I'm sure they would go places somewhere else. @@jermainerodgers
You also have to consider the voting system though. There were so many people that included Megan in their final 6 but because they could only vote for 3, it typically went to Sophia and Lara. Voting SoLa also helped the one-pickers because those two were essentially guaranteed a spot anyways. Go fan faves!
I didn't really watch Katseye performances but I did watch the last few buttons, confident and wannabe and omg Lara instantly became my bias in the whole show through confident I was desperate for her to win
i already knew sophia lara yoonchae were going to debut once i saw their antifragile performance (feel sad that emily was the only one of that team that didnt debut)
I hope they spend more time with their vocals. As a unit being promoted to the west, vocals are more important than your dance. I want to know what they would sound like on a ballad that has a lot of harmony. I’m very intrigued by the group lol.
@@SBBunny93 I'm hoping for a more vocal focused track on their debut EP! I was pretty unsatisfied with "Debut" in regards to length and lack of vocals, but the choreography really hit and I loved the MV visuals. I am pretty excited for their Kcon performance. Hopefully, their next single is teased there. 👀
Ppl who didn’t think Manon was gonna debut are dumb HYBE has been pushing her as the center of the groups from the art film even if her dancing isn’t the best you can’t stop from looking at her
I love Manson but I do feel like out of all the Katseye members she kinda lacks stage presence…😅 I try to focus on her during all the performances cuz I’m rooting for her but idk I just see myself watching the other sometimes like Emily or Ezerala those 2 has got some good a$$ stage presence
@@lilithyolanda9851stage presence don't mean crap because they still need brand deals to make money. Manon is there for that purpose. She's a visual powerhouse and like it or not that's what's gonna sell
@@lilithyolanda9851 Manon just started singing and performing during the Dream Academy less than a year while all the other girls had more experience than her that doesn’t stop her from being a good performer she can work her way to it like Jake from Enhypen
they look sooooo strong. But I have to say that the performances are so obviously pre recorded. but their stage presence and personality alone is so it girl.
Gonna get hate for this but imo if I were one of the judges I wouldn’t have chosen manon, to me she doesn’t look like she has a very strong stage presence and doesn’t have much facial expressions. She’s talented but I want to see her be more into it
In fact I didn't feel anything for Megan and Yoonchae at the beginning but I changed after Confident. Both of their dance were so cool and I kept watching it over and over again! And after Debut, Megan actually became one of my two bias (another is Lara right from the beginning). Her dance and cheerful expression won my heart.
am I insane or was the mixing for most of these performances generally just bad? Like it's 99% of the reason I didn't watch too many of these cause it was so unbearable to me
They are so little mix coded. Hope they trained them to sing live while dancing cuz it’s gonna be devastating to see them lip syncing every single time 😶
I was about to say... Megan and Manon both born on the same day of the same year?? but it makes more sense now that she was born four years before Megan but still the same day.
Hold up, I'm sorry, let me get this straight; You want an 8 member group including SAMARA? With a black girl and 2 Indians? When she famously got hate for being racist to Indians and her fans were being anti-black and racist toward Manon?... Gurl.... lmao
@LukeBridger Gurl you do know that was another controversy like Garam in le sserafim right? And anyway maybe diversity wise that's forward but here was to hoping
@litehouseaj2394 ...Garam's situation was some jealous girl she went to school with wanted to ruin her career with a rumour. Samara was caught liking anti-black, anti-chinese and anti-indian tiktoks (With 2 Indian contestants (better than her)) AND when she didn't get in her fans flooded WeVerse with real gore pics, anti-black and racist remarks and slurs toward Manon and NEVER apologised. She was pretty with a good voice, sure, but she showed her true colours, and man, she is so ugly on the inside

No they all are powerful in their particular dance vocal stage presence it should be insane the power this group has is next level they all add and need each other!!!
yesterday i saw manon's insta has 120k followers. is she already an insta influencer before? or model? or singer? bcs other member followers just at 50k to 70k. no shade, no hate, i just genuinely asking 🤔
Yes! Manon was a model, photographer, and actress before Dream Academy. Many of the contestants either had experience in the entertainment industry, were influencers, or were Hybe trainees. Lara's parents are music executives, Daniela is a decorated ballroom/salsa Dancer who was on America's Got Talent, Megan is a trained Dancer and actress, Yoonchae was a Belift trainee, and Sophia was an influencer and singer. Manon is also famous for being the "pinterest black girl" as a mirror selfie of her went incredibly viral a few years ago, and she topped the searches of Pinterest at the time.
Manon had the most insta followers even before Dream Academy. She literally has a tiktok filter designed after her. Homegirl was it girling before Hybe. This only cemented her popularity which is what most people don't understand. She was always going to debut because of her online presence 😂😂😂😂
cute video but... let's be real, for sophia, lara and manon it was after the 1st episode. everything else was just scenarios like lee chaeyeon during pd48. their potential succes power was too big for miracles
Yes! In their first live, she said that she speaks both German and Swiss-German. Swiss German is her first language. She also speaks a little bit of French!
There are no full episodes. Just performances, vlogs, and behind the scenes clips, which you can watch on Hybe Labels channel. There will be a Netflix documentary about their debut in June 2024!
@@coolgrizzlybar in retrospect she has very good visuals and decent vocals. That's all her fans cling on to. She also meshes will in terms of height distribution

Correction: Manon was born in 2002!
Ty for putting Megan ethnicity correctly :)
I wish you included mission 2, cause so many of them proved themselves there!
Tbh I think manon guaranteed her spot once we saw the art film. Might be a stretch but she caught the eye of so many ppl without actually showing her skills yet.
Yess she literally trended day 1
You're right
@shynne3789 Too bad for you because she's gonna debut now 🤷🏾♀️
She has this dolly-like/ model look to her that just catches your eye!
Why?
Sophia literally just waited for her members 😂 Sophia the 1st literally. First in 62 countries, 14 members want her i their group and lastly 2 out 3 judges picked her. What an unstoppable force. 🔥
She was the heeseung of this show lol
@@AJ-jv1whOMG yasss 😂
SHE RANKED FIRST PLACE THREE MISSION 🥇🥇🥇 AND SHE GOT THE JUDGES VOTES!
Actually nayoung ranked 1st for the first mission but Sophia ranked 2nd so comparable.
nahhh literally bro and a lot of people saying she’s not talented or like she’s not even all that💀
Lara, main vocalist! EAT girl EAT! Still so happy Megan and Manon made it! My top 3!
Lara is an ace of this group❤️🔥her vocals gonna definitely take this group in billboards definitely without doubt
Here after the official debut and yes!!
Her line in touch omg my favorite!!! I voted for Daniela but I also really loved Lara her charisma is everything
I think it second mission when Yoonchae proved herself because her voice back then were so stable with the heavy dance
i had a feeling Sophia will debut during the art film. When she was looking around the girls, asking them if they will play the game or not, and asking them to form a circle. She looked like a leader that time. more than her talents and visuals, her eloquence won me over. a perfect representative of the group. she had the little bits of everything.
In terms of Manon, for me, I knew she'd make it from the first short film premiere. Then, her performance in "Fearless" validated it for me.
The way we knew manon was gonna debut since the art film
manon and danielle looked so great together in the buttons video
I would go with
Sophia: Mission 1
Lara: Mission 3
Daniela: Mission 3
Yoonchae: Once Nayoung was eliminated
Megan: During the live finale
Manon: Art Film
I agree but Lara also did soooo good Mission 1. Also, Megan definitely got more attention after the break free music video.
This is it.
this is correct but i’d also give lara mission 1, she was pretty much a lock since the beginning too. and for manon, the promotional photos instead of the art film - people were going crazy over her headshots. they dropped prior to the art film no?
Manon really got the last laugh😂 so proud of her
Katseye will save Hybe's vocal reputation, can't wait for the haters to stfu
Yes only katseye can save hybe reputation now they literally have top tier vocalist hybe has not seen so far
Tbh i think it was the antifragile mission that cemented yoonchae's spot. They were singing live and she was honestly the best performer in that performance. For both team A and B imo and she wasnt even top 10 for me before that performance.
yoonchae was top 6 in the first mission actually. but i agree, she started to stand out during mission 2!!
lets be honest, we knew yoonchae will debut after nayoung got elim🤭🤭
Yoonchae was consistently popular with Nayoung throughout the competition according to votes, so it honestly could've been either one of them. Megan was actually the member pushed into the lineup by the judges pick/scoring (not meant as hate towards Megan whatsoever, as she became one of my picks after Nayoung was eliminated).
Yoonchae was consistently popular even when nayoung was on the show tho .Like top 6 consistently .
Yes. She only dropped to 12th during Mission 3 when voters decided to put their all into Nayoung, but Hybe eliminated her that round unfortunately.
Ngl eliminating Nayoung was such a waste 😢she was giving the same vibes as Manon and idk why but she also gave Charlie’s Angels look.
In my opinion she had good stage presence and vocals and I though she would at least survive till the last competition but guess not…🤷🏻♀️

Manon is the epitome of europop. She reminds me of samantha mumba.
If it weren't for people noticing Daniela's skills in mission 2 she would've been eliminated 😭
tbh I dont think so

Lara voice just another level! i love her!
Sophia falsetto is too good. I got chills
SOPHIA RANKED FIRST🥇 THREE MISSON WHAT A QUEEN AND SHE GOT THE JUDGES VOTES!
Megan was for sure a judges pick because based on fan votes, she would not have debuted. She would have been eliminated before the finale.

She's very talented, has stellar stage presence, is one of the best dancers on the show, and has great chemistry with the rest of the lineup (I saw their first livestream, and the group chemistry is already great).
