other than all the above, it made me wonder if they had a version of this that they would shoot on some random remote island?
or escape room style or something. they are selling/renting out prisons in the netherlands, saw some stuff that was shot in there.
okay i better not continue this trail of thought, hope no kbs or mnet pd is on here.

How many more kids need to be mentally and emotionally tortured on live tv? Cancel it.

[gdithero.livejournal.com]

250x2? Feels bad for the desperate kids who thinks this is a stepping stone to reach their dreams but end up just being nameless mob characters in the success stories of whichever kids the pds want

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

ah yes, putting male and female peeps in the same competition is totally not going to get these ppl in danger from fans

[mmmmmatthew.livejournal.com]

imagine how hard it was for 101 trainees to get screen time. 500 nugus is too damn much. I cant wait for Insoo to not get screen time again.

[mmmmmatthew.livejournal.com]

I mean they have to produce 500 nugus so I wont be surprised if a lot of the already debuted idols from season 1 and 2 go on this mess.

[broadway-bound3.livejournal.com]

I keep think about how small S. Korea is. And how many idol groups there already are. Who knew that such a small place could have so much talent!

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

it's a small country but the population is actually fairly large - I think it's one of the most densely populated countries, with a population of 50 million.

[soyunatetera.livejournal.com]

500 people? is the show gonna air for 5 hours? I already get impatient with two hours and never watch the whole episode. And how will they deal with screen time? it's already a mess in prod101

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

please, don't

but i live for drama, so i'm probably gonna watch it, right

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

LOL SAME

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

NUGU LIBERATION!!

are there really 500 nugus out there?? my mind is blown. also, if broduce is already as messy as it is, how much more is this show gonna be being co-ed... :\ poor kids

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

500 people? tf

way too many
why not just do 50 of each ok

[demeulemeester.livejournal.com]

i've thought that there should just be a show like p101 but for already debuted idols but this is overboard lol

what does this error mean :( :(

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

No idea.. It shows up for me sometimes too, I just refresh the page. :\

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

this is such a garbage idea hfs. especially making it coed.

i wonder how many poor nugu idols are gonna end up here.

[shinychopstick.livejournal.com]

this wouldn't be a terrible idea for some failed groups to get a second chance but it'd have to be the nugu-est of the nugu. I can't see mid-sized companies sending 2-3y/o rookie groups being a smart idea. it'd mess with their existing fanbase/comeback plans. and the number is just too ridic. who are all these people?

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

I'd 100% watch this ... ...

I guess that only groups on the brink of disbandment would participate.
If I could pick someone to go on, could Tey from MR.MR go on (actually idek what happened to them..)

[froggster.livejournal.com]

Oh damn, mr.mr. I forgot all about them. Highway is still a jam

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

Highway will forever be in my top 5 kpop jams.

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

Imao, KBS icon of "adapting" succesful formats copies another show - suprise, suprise lol
And how swiftly they took Mnet's eventual possiblity to make 3 season of Produce101 coed, truly a preemptive move;P
No shit they have to cast already debuted idols bc how they gonna fill all the planned spots etc, real nugus gonna be flocking etc

[dio-elaclaire.livejournal.com]

that wouldn't be a bad idea but............ 500 people? are they out of their minds???

[sobangcha.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine how messy this is going to be

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

we'll never get to see more than 100 tributes participants.

happy hunger games, I guess

[pbutterlion.livejournal.com]

omona is so boring!

i need this mess in my life idc

[sodapab.livejournal.com]

lol I wonder if Chanmi is going to show up again

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

omg yes pls make it happen

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

Mnet has a specific brand of mess that keeps people watching.

It's like how people didn't care much about momoland or that boys24 show. Having a co-ed cast seems like it'll be a mess. If it's like kpop star or something then it might not make a difference, but if it's really head-to-head or the trainees are living together it seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

[mewaqua1.livejournal.com]

what?

the concept itself is not too bad to let non-populair idols see the daylight and stuff but holy shit that amount is waaaaaaaay too much, i mean 50 girls and 50 guys would already be pushing it (pd101 has already proven 101 people are too much to handle tbh, that times 5????? hell no it will not work....)

lol is kbs losing it or something???
