LOL, tbh.
It's obvious Pledis made sure Jonghyun won't make it into W1 because he was most beneficial to the success of NU'EST W so I hope people finally get over it and Samuel was never popular with Koreans, his high rank lies behind Chinese voters who took advantage of the system, when only Koreans were eligble for voting and once these fraud votes were removed, he dropped a lot and never recovered. I still can't believe there are salty people 2 years from the end of S2.
It's unfortunate that due to two members, who weren't supposed to make it into W1 to begin with, people treated this group differently in comparison to X1 who gets all the love from the international fans. Yeah, I'm bitter, but I dislike that all these members who made it, are constantly belittled, called untalented, not worthy by the international fans who believe that they're right and Korean fans (who spent tons of money on the voting) are wrong. I'm not going to cry over Kookheon not making it even if I believe he deserved spot in the final group more than some of the members, I just won't stan the group and that's it, these people need to do the same and not bring down everyone else with their negative attitudes.
And all these naysayers never bothered supporting NU'EST W, nor they support NU'EST now because they only wanted Jonghyun to be in Wanna One, and not in NU'EST, they didn't give a single fuck about rest of the boys or how would his absence affect the group, to the point that if he made it, the rest of them would be in the dungeon, not being able to reap the benefit they got from appearing on PD101 (this doesn't apply to Aron but regardless of that my point still stands). And I won't even talk about Samuel, where are all his fans, that constantly claim 'justice for Samuel'? Nowhere, they only bring him up when someone mentions 'rigging', but not when it comes to his sales or him doing well in general, because he doesn't do well in comparison to all the people that cry over him but won't support him.
I rest my case.
