The words of the 8 come from years of experience.
Koreaboo
SEVENTEEN‘S The8 He is praised for his brutally honest advice to Chuang Asia Competitors.
The8, together with Got7‘S Bambam, are the producers of the second series of Chuang AsiaA survival show to debut a new group.
During the first episode, the competitors showed their talent and were classified by mentors.
With a higher vote, the competitors noticed that it seemed impossible to get the highest ranking, and while The8 and Bambam were the most severe, even Bambam seemed confused when The8 did not want to give a trainee an “A.”
However, Bambam understood the comments while The8 explained that while it seemed the entire package, the competitor could not dance since the performance had been based on the vowel.
When we talk directly with the competitor, the 8 explained how important dance is because as an idol in a group with many members, there may not be many parts of singing available but there are always dancing.
He stressed that all five competitors were weak in dance.
The 8 honestly added that if they are based and sing, they would benefit more from being a solo artist rather than in a group.
When the video was published, he immediately attracted a lot of attention and Netizen praised the prospects of The8 and commented on the trainees. Considering the number of seventeen members, The8 knows that not all people can have many lines in songs, but that they can stand out in other ways, mainly dance and presence on stage.
Seventeen mentality is truly another level. Instead of being affected to have a part of less singing, they would feel the responsibility of putting 200% on dance for the team. 10 years of teamwork and team mentality. Minghao today is a high -level idol that faces obstacles in his life 🫡 https://t.co/xun2nrszbz

You are training to be an idol, not just a singer or a dancer. You have to refine yourself in all aspects.
I feel that Minghao’s comments are not even severe. What he said is the indispensable minimum. https://t.co/qnyoggysyh

Coming from an all -round group, I really get his rigorous side .. you have to shine, if not to sing, be good at dancing, but Hao came from a GRP that can do everything, so his judgment is fairly fair. Everyone must excel in any aspect of being an idol. 🩷🩵

Damn I have never understood that some idols do not get many parts of singing, so they have to stand out through dance. showed me dancing even more important

No but it makes much sense. The distribution of singing could change every return. You may not have many lines, but dancing is something that is more or less equally distributed for everyone, so being good in that aspect really gives a plus factor. https://t.co/fpw38fwj8t

The 8 also explained that, although it could not judge trainees based on adequate “idol” criteria, she thought that dance was one of the necessary foundations.
While some internships thought that the criteria and the judge were hard, the Netizen point out that The8 and Bambam have suffered the most and know how much the fatigue is the idol industry, making them qualified to make the comments.
