Is it just me or This season of Produce don't seem to be as popular than the previous season ??

usually people always talk about it but i don't see the same hype this time

When it was announced, people's reactions in Korea was "Again? when will this end?"
I think it's shoved down their throats and they're done with it

Well this season doesn't really have anything new with it, season 1 had the luxury of being the 1st one, season 2 was the first boy group season and then season 3 had the addition of the Japanese idols where as this one is pretty much just season 2 over again from what I know so it's just there really.

i guess they wanted this "X" concept to be like "the thing" for this season but its just utter crap

same thing over again...... problematic trainees...

Never even heard of what the X thing is so sounds like clutching at straws to keep the show from stagnating

i didnt even understand it myself completely, but like the 11th members with the most votes overall throughout the competition will get the last spot instead of like the 11th one that would've get chosen normally. Which would mean its gonna be the one who would've gotten 11th place anyway due to having the most votes anyway?

Well watching three eps it seems to be two things first being: there will be one extra member in the group who is member X and member X will be decided in overall votes everyone gets during show and not just last votes so someone who has been steadily popular since the start will get it.

Second is that there is X rank and X rank is for the rejects, they don't get the perform on stage until they get ranked higher.

That just sounds like a new way to do the voting system to avoid getting the rigged comments not "oh hey I got this cool new idea for our next season" guess it's a good thing they bumped Iz*Ones contract up to 3ish years since now they can do the same with the new group and use the thinking time to come up with a half decent idea.

I know it's first episode pulled in the 2nd highest ratings after the 2nd season. Also, some of the trainees have been the top trending names on Naver.

But yeah there's nothing new to the season except the X thing.

I feel like this will be the last for a while considering the contract will be 5 years. They might try to make a super girl group with the same contract but I think they'll wait until Iz*one hype dies done or they disband

they aren't even in the dorms or have the trainers for them or anything iirc, so its pretty much impossible for them to improve in such a short time to be able to perform

 

[trulychoi]

At this point I can't even blame anyone for not caring. This whole survival show trend is just getting worn out to me, and half the time I don't even remember which group came from which show. I blame mnet for this and all the other survival shows that followed.

Y'all know Mnet is gonna keep pushing it

i mean i wouldnt mind them doing it more but like leave some space in between, like izone barely had much time to develop before they already announced the next season of produce

But that's just what they aim for
Group debuts will be closer to each other so they're active both sides.
Mnet pushes a group behind the scenes until they are hyped up (cuz a reputation/name = popularity in Korea)
Their groups will be successful or at least win a lot of awards in Mnet award shows (anyone who still thinks awards are fair, anywhere around the world, I envy you)
They legit block music companies to have successful groups cuz IOI, Wanna One and IZ*One won awards and have popularity.
The more they continue, the more companies will have it difficult to make their groups big (just when nugu's had a somewhat chance to make it)

If it continues like this, I fear that only Big3 + BH + Mnet groups will be the only ones on the scene
