My Top 10 (Pre-Broadcast)
It’s that time of the year again~ I get to make posts about my favorite trainees! Since it’s not confirmed how many trainees there will be in the final group, I’m just going to go with Top 10 because that’s what is speculation rn.
This year, I actually came into the season knowing/supporting a lot of the trainees. This is due to them appearing in other shows or having already debuted. I obviously am going to continue supporting them, so for this list, I decided to keep them out in order to highlight some lesser known trainees (I will combine them once the show airs). But just so y’all know, these are the trainees I’m supporting from the past!
AAP.Y Lee Midam and YG Entertainment Hidaka Mahiro & Wang Jyunhao (YGTB)
MBK Entertainment Nam Dohyun and Think About Entertainment Kim Junjae (Under Nineteen)
MBK Entertainment Lee Hangyul (IM/The Unit)
MLD Entertainment Lee Dongbin (PD101S2)
Music Works Kim Kookheon & Song Yuvin (MYTEEN/MIXNINE)
NEST Entertainment Oh Saebom (MAXXAM)
Play M Entertainment Choi Byungchan & Han Seongwoo (Victon)
Stone Music Entertainment Kim Sunghyun (In2It)
TOP Media Kim Wooseok & Lee Jinhyuk (Up10tion)
Vine Entertainment Baek Jin (MIXNINE)
Yuehua Entertainment Cho Seungyoun (UNIQ/M.O.L.A/Solo)
And now my Top 10! This ranking is mostly based on personality as we haven’t had much of a chance to see their talents, so this is very tentative. My thoughts will most likely change as I am fond of all the trainees and each could rise or fall. Anyway, here’s my current favorites!
10. Astory Entertainment Heo Jinho
Our little fenec fox~ Honestly he’s such a cutie and his introduction was very memorable for me and I always look forward to his videos ❤️
9. Individual trainee Lee Hamin
Can you say main vocal??? I’ve got high hopes for this guy; he’s clearly a talented vocalist and I’m really excited to see him perform!
8. ESteem Yuri
I mean.... can you blame me? He’s tall, handsome, and has great presence and a fun personality. Plus, we have the same special talent so 😁
7. The South Nam Donghyun
Another talented vocalist! His style is very distinct and I still go back and watch his introduction video.
6. Brand New Music Kim Sihun
Sihun caught my interest right away for a reason I don’t really know. Whenever he’s on screen, I just can’t look away.
5. Starship Entertainment Song Hyungjun
We love Chuu’s brother~ A soft, sassy boy! I am SO excited to see this guy perform; I think he’s going to have outstanding stage presence.
4. Maroo Entertainment Lee Jinwoo
MY BABY 💙💙💙 Honeslty, anyone who isn’t whipped for this lil cutie is kidding themselves. He’s adorable, precious, and just overall SICKENINGLY sweet.
3. HONGYI Wei Ziyue
Okay, same as Jinwoo, if you don’t love this boy, don’t talk to me. He’s absolutely PRECIOUS and brings out all of my instincts to PROTECC. I’m excited to hear his singing voice as he was previewed a bit in Episode 0.
2. ESteem Anzardi Timothee
Okay, yes, I have a soft spot because I’m learning French. But also Timothee has a REALLY nice voice and I want to see how he does in the boy group dynamic. Definitely got my eye on this one.
1. Individual trainee Choi Suhwan
THIS BOY IS THE NEW LOML He’s such a good dancer, singer, and he’s so SMOL and I LOVE!!!! I hope people give a lot of love and support to Suhwan because he’s clearly going to be a talent to be reckoned with~ 💙
Special Mentions:

Chandalier Music Peak

my top 10 trainees as of ep. 4 and why
*these are my opinions only. no particular order, the numbers mean nothing
1. Kim Yohan (Oui Ent): I can see him going far. Regardless of his lack of experience, I think Yohan is talented. He dances well, he has a good base in rap, and he has a killer stage presence. He’s motivated, he works hard, and I think he has a shit ton of potential. Bottom-line, I like him a lot, and I predict he’ll remain in the top 10 rankings for most of the show.
2. Kim Sihun (Brand New Music): He’s ready to be an idol from my standpoint. He presents himself very well on camera and onstage, he has a versatile stage presence, and he is a consistent dancer and rapper. He’s also provided some of the best reactions to other trainees during group battle and auditions. Not to be controversial, but I think he should have been X1-MA center over dongpyo...I really hope the vote benefit keep him through this next evaluation because I feel like he could really shine in later evaluations.
3. Choi Suhwan (Individual Trainee): He is hands down one of the most talented trainees in this competition but he ends up being overshadowed by editing and *cough* taller trainees. He’s a stable and talented vocal, he’s a great dancer, and he’s versatile in concepts. I think he could pull off a cute or dreamy concept just as well as a heavier concept. I think he also knows his ability very well and chose to be a center for lullaby when he easily could have been main vocal. He also shows good leadership and teamwork in practice clips. I hope he is able to keep going.
4. Yoon Junghwan (Brand New Music): He is a powerful vocal for this season, and I have a feeling that he’s going to be looked over this season and it’s sad.
5. Kim Hyunbin (Source Music): He’s motivated, he’s got great energy, he’s enthusiastic, he’s talented, he absolutely saved No More Dream. My one critique is that he may have outshined the rest in the team. I don’t know if that’s on him or other team members but he didn’t bring a lot of balance as a center.
6. Lee Wonjun (E Ent): Nothing gets me more than when an idol glances at a side-angle camera and homeboy did it. Since his audition, I think he’s got a lot of potential and we’ve already seen two vastly different concepts from him. I think he would be great in a large idol group
7. Song Hyungjun (Starship): Okay...his attitude has totally done it for me. I think he’s an extremely hardworking, dedicated kid with a good sense of leadership and a strong desire to help others succeed. But other than dance, I don’t know if he would succeed in a large group. I don’t think he has the stage presence to stand out among 10 other guys
8. Kim Dongbin (MLD): Homeboy has gotten so much better since season 2 that I think he has the potential to improve even further through this season and debut. He has a unique look and controls his face well. I think he would do great in a produce group. Also, having the courage to come back and try again shows he’s resilient. I like it.
9. Yoo Geunmin (Million Market): idk, he was 101 during ep. 1 and I felt for him. I think he’s cute.
10. Won Hyuk (E Ent): I think he was the stand out of Adore U team and I like him a lot.
