JIWON!!! I'm kinda bitter but happy that a Spica member is joining. Hope she'll have a good run/will gain fans and damn I'll def have to follow this show.

My bitter ass wants to scream "NO!" but good luck baby girl

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

first t-ara, then spica and now the unit? jiwon has been really unlucky so far. she's probably going to be one of the oldest female participants.

[sayufied.livejournal.com]

she was also in the group 5 Girls with Yubin, UEE, Hyosung and G.NA.

I really hope she finds success

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

i almost forgot! ngl i wish they could've performed at least one special gayo stage. hopefully, she'll succeed this time.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

WM entertainment too??

i wonder if they plan to send baro little sister or some ONF member

pretty sure b1a4 or OMG dont need this show

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

i read that trainees (w/ broadcast experience) can join, so wm might send lee chaeyeon. i'd be for them sending yoonji, too, tho. idt they'd send onf since they only debuted a month ago; just checked and onf already has schedule activities for the day before filming starts, so

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Yoonji would be a good idea! She's quite good but her debut was completely overlooked (also WM needs to change her stage name asap)
ONF just debuted so it wouldn't be fair to them and idt OMG should go on it but, who knows...

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

I think she's done with the idol life, Boa and Narae too..! no idea what her career plans are but she seems happy on IG at least lol

[yejun.livejournal.com]

Fantagio
....... forms a prayer circle for hello venus..... plz don't make them go on this show..

[demeulemeester.livejournal.com]

especially since they're "supposed" to have a comeback "soon"..... i would rather a comeback. if they do appear i'm guessing they would send yeoreum tbh.

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

didn't starship already confirm boyfriend? or does that not count since they didn't confirm which members were going on?

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

LOEN ONLY HAS FIESTAR AND MELODY DAY (melody day are however considered more cr ker) IM SCREAMING SO MUCH I WANT MY BABIES TO BE ON IT

ALSO NAMOO ACTORS - THE ONLY FAILED IDOL THEY HAVE IS JAEKYUNG. IF SHE GOES ON IT SHE WILL 100% MAKE IT

FANTAGIO - HV?????????

PLEDIS - AFTER SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIZZY KAEUN EYOUNG???????

SORRY IM YELLING BUT IM SO EMOTIONAL/HAPPY

[vh4n.livejournal.com]

I'm so prepared for Jaekyung to slay the competition (if she's participating)!!!

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

id love to see jaekyung. she deserves to make it since the beginning of time

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

Sunny Hill/History announcement when?? They deserved better!!

[jiyonqiee.livejournal.com]

I didn't expect some of these companies to send their artists on this show.

WM? please don't send OMG, they are above this mess.

also starship and pledis??? isn't it too early for pledis to send pristin on this?

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

same i hope they don't send OMG.... they just need a good song and concept that is not coloring book.

i'm thinking pledis would send one of the after school members ?

[musicnkisses.livejournal.com]

I say this almost every post about the Unit, but NS Yoon G needs to sign up for it.
Ideally, G.NA should also join to gauge interest in her supposed comeback. If she can spin a sob story and last at least to the top 50 then she should comeback.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

Wait...Spica is over? WHEN? WHY? Where?

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

their contracts are officially over but they still refer to themselves as Spica so they're not disbanded in that sense.... but you know, they basically are LOL </3

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

Damn. They were so talented. Their song Tonight was such a bop.

[haroobommi.livejournal.com]

all of the spica members deserve better :(
BUT WAIT, *delulu mode on* MAROO? EUNA???? THE ARK COMING BACK???!!! it doesn't help that the girls keep posting the ark stuff on their igs

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

is this the same survival show that will also be including actors? if so, what are they going to do on the show?? how will that work?

[sanctuairee.livejournal.com]

this makes me sad, but i'm happy to get to see her again

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

I already have a couple of faves joining (Woohee and Yujeong) but OMGGGGG YANG JIWONNNNNNNNNNN ;;;A;;;

this is so bittersweet but I'm so proud of her for not giving up on her idol dreams.. it's been a long and rocky road from T-ara to Spica to whatever this is right now, but I'm sure she will succeed in her own way one day. #TEAMYANGJIWON #PLEASEGOVIRAL

edit: omg I forgot Five Girls... she's really been through so much :(

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

I hope jiwon will make it big and have the general public's interest so they will dig up spica and realize that spica invented talent and spica will revive. I just wanna hear spica sing as a group again TT

[demeulemeester.livejournal.com]

i can't be bothered to make a post rn but box media just confirmed matilda are joining. them slaying their immortal song appearances isn't enough for SK i guess, the music-interested general public can only seem to handle one Talented™ idol girl group at a time.

[shadownashira.livejournal.com]

I saw the list of companies on Soompi and Banana Culture was on there. I'm confused, isn't that EXID's company? Do they have other artists under their label?

[jeliza]

They had a trainee, Yoon Yong Bin, on Produce 101 season 2, can't think who else it would be, though. EXID doesn't need this show.

[jeliza]

That's a terrible picture of Kanto. I'm still mad about Troy.

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

I have a soft spot for Jiwon ever since her small part in What's Up. She has such a great voice, I hope she's successful.
