1. Boy Project was rap-based, they wore uniforms but it was a very grand set up. The cover was in English but the rap was in Korean
- Chan: Lead vocal, very experienced, good skills, had many parts. Nationality is Australian, real name is Bang Chan. His skills were like those of an already debuted singer, not awkward onstage at all. Appearance is like Henry, he looks a little like a child in the photo but in person he not like that at all. Although he's not super tall, his looks and proportions are very masculine.
- Changbin: Main rapper, was also in the center position when they danced. Although his stage presence wasn't very high, he displays his talent well when he performs and doesn't overdo hand gestures. He also doesn't seem nervous onstage and my friends said that he will probably debut as long as he isn't evil edited in the survival show. Looks are so-so...
- Jisung: People said he looks like Mark or Youngk, his eyes and nose are like YoungK's. The feeling he had in person was like Mark but onstage he was a lot like YoungK, especially when he rapped. His gestures and expressions were exactly like YoungK's during WIN. His looks are not bad
- Felix: Has a low rap, his Korean wasn't good enough so he used English. His first time participating [in the showcase] but his presence was not bad. His eyes are like EXO's Kai's, some people said that his eyes are nice and I agree. His proportions are a bit of a pity since he's not very tall. He is an Australian
- Woojin: Main vocal. Had faded yellow hair. Looks the same as he did in that video where he sang 'Sofa'. This performance was rap-based however so you couldn't really see his skills. The other trainees' (below) parts were lesser
- Seungmin: Among the most popular trainees today (Ryujin, Seungmin and Hyunjin were the 3 most popular). Looks like Wonpil when he smiles, has a frog-like smile. His face is wider than Wonpil's, his looks are more manly. He had only a small part so his skills weren't clear
- Hyunjin: Was most looking forward to him but I couldn't find him onstage. It wasn't until he came out for the greetings at the end that I knew who he was because his profile picture was taken too well. Looked a little like Park Jinyoung when he made that expression
- Jeongin: Had braces, looked like a desert fox
- Minho: New person so my impression of him wasn't deep
2. Boys Kids.
BOYSTORY kids were too small. I personally thought that the lead dancer with monolids was fantastic. Appearance-wise Mingrui was the most 'dazzling'.
Gyehun's very talented with words but still needs refining. Juna is from America. His profile picture wasn't taken very well but his performance was not bad
3. Girls Kids
- Yuna A: Korean and Japanese mixed, cute, looked like Sohee and Dahyun - that kind of youthful monolid type
- Jiayu: Exotic looks
- Yunjin: Performance was still a little awkward but her face was very pretty. If she practices more we'll see her in the future girl group
- Yeonkyeong: Looked a bit like Yunjin, but Yeonkyeong looked slightly more European. Her 45 degree bow at the end was very cute
4. Boy Team
- Yao Chen: Looks like a Chinese actor, angular face, monolids and tall, friends that went said that was like Taecyeon and that it'd also be good if he was an actor. His skills were lacking a little but if he worked on his appearance a little he is someone I'd like to see in the next boy group.
- Allen: American-Chinese. Had similar expressions and gestures as Jackson onstage. Felt that he was a little exaggerated, it'd be good if he didn't try so hard. Looks very different to his profile picture.
6. Girls Team
- Lily M: Her singing is seriously good but in comparison to her solo, the radiance of her parts seemed buried
- Chaeryeong: Has grown up a lot since SIXTEEN, is prettier and also performed very well
- Sunmin: Lead singer, looked really different to her photo from the last showcase. Her cold expression was great. Her rabbit pose at the end was very charming
- Yeji: Lead dancer, different to Chaeryeong's soft and feminine dance - she has a power dance like Momo
- Eunsoo: The second trainee on this stage who suits being in a girl group the most. I used to think that she should stick with acting but now feel that she would do well at both being an actor and idol
- Sieun: Maybe because she hasn't been in the company for long so you can't really talk about her skills at this time
7. 3RACHA seemed most like already debuted artists this showcase. Changbin stood at the back without doing anything but as soon as he rapped he had a great presence. Jisung looks so much like Mark but his body, face, gestures and "oh my god" expression also looks a lot like YoungK. Chan had a lot of stage presence and was very free onstage.
9. Boys Dance Team: Yao Chen made mistakes in the performance, Allen performed skilled moves however the previous GD/TOP performance was significantly better
10. Lily's Solo: Besides the fact that she performed well I don't have anything to say about Lily's solo. Like 3RACHA, the stage was at a level of already debuted artists’
11. Girls Team 2's concept was school uniform girl crush
- Yuna S: Had the feel of Goo Hara and Fei. Proportions were good, face was also very small. It was definitely her in Bangtan's MV. Her facial expressions were not bad but her skills require more observing
- Mashiro: Heard a lot of people say she was very short but when I saw he I didn't think she was that short. She looks a little different to what she did at the auditions. At that time she was a cute high school student, now there's a feeling of a woman
- Yejin: She looks like a mix of Nayeon and S.E.S's Eugene. It'll be good if she's a little more natural onstage, she's very pretty and tall
______________________________________________________________________________
Boys Project was a pleasant surprise, they'd improved a lot in all aspects since February and OP felt that they could finally proudly and honestly say it is the new generation of JYP. The new group of 3 [T/N: 3RACHA] were also very good.
- Jeongin has big eyes, had braces and looked like a desert fox. He had an obvious amount more parts than he did in February.
- OP had always thought Seungmin was cute ever since he was revealed but this time he had a manly aura. He's a lot thinner and his parts were on the lesser side.
- Felix has visuals that JYP hadn't seen before. His looks are very JYP but there hasn't been anyone who looks like him. He has big and bright eyes, low voice and OP expects him to be very popular if he joins the survival show. They don't look similar but people will think of EXO's Kai when they see him.
- Jisung felt like one of the members that was pushed the most, he looked like YoungK. Looked much better with black hair compared to the red hair he had in February. OP felt like the veins in his neck were going to burst when he rapped.
- Hyunjin is undisputedly the visual, his skills have also improved a lot. The girls in the audience went crazy when he smiled.
- Changbin's rap skills were indeed the best, also had good dance lines and looked like iKON's Kim Donghyuk.
- Minho didn't have many parts but he was the centre for a dance break. He looks like Kim Yongguk + Kang Yoonje, but especially moreso like Kang Yoonje.
- The is no reason not to pick Chan. He lead the members, tidied the wires, had the skills, endless charms and ease onstage. He looks like Henry+Wooyoung+Rain when he smiles.
- Woojin is the trainee who has changed the most since February. Has a masculine feel, is tall and had good expressions onstage.
- Gyehun can basically be King Gyehun, just grow well and debut in the next-next boy group.
- Although Juna is still very 'unripe' [T/N: not ready yet], he has also improved the most.
- Sieun looks exactly like she does in her profile picture. Her face is very small but her dance/singing ability was indeed the worst and she needs to work very hard.
- Eunsoo's face was also really small, her short hairstyle makes people think of Suzy just previously. Her dancing felt a little awkward but she was very charming and cute. It was OP's first time hearing her sing, she has a hoarse tone.
- Yuna A and Yeonkyung looked a little alike, they've grown a lot since February. Yeonkyung's long ponytail left a deep impression
- Yunjin was the most eye catching out of the girls kids team trainees. She had a lot of parts and performed with a smile to the end despite being very tired. OP feels that we can look forward to seeing her in the future.
- Jiayu was too thin so it seemed that the second part of the performance was very difficult for her.
- During her own parts, Lily displayed a dimension completely different to everyone else. Her volume and presence was very big. There was an obvious improvement since her stage in February, her solo stage was perfect.
- Chaeryeon has matured since February, her strengths in dancing are obvious to everyone however it's a pity that she's not really photogenic.
- Sunmin was a lot thinner than she was in February and her visuals were better.Although you can't say her dancing and singing was exceptional, she was still above average. If she participated in a survival show her popularity would be relatively low because she doesn't stand out enough.
- Yuna S is young but she is tall, really pretty in person. She has a relatively bigger mouth so she looked really nice when she smiled.
- Yeji was rediscovered in this showcase. She's very tall, had a Sohee feel to her, also had the whitest skin. Her dancing was very good and occupied the position of lead dancer. Yeji's singing was also not bad, now all she needs is to find an angle that makes her photos prettier.
- Rhujin looked pure in her graduation photo, OP thought she was cute in February but this time she had a lot of boldness. OP thinks that Rhujin will attract a lot of fans - both male and female.
- Yejin is a lot thinner, has a lot of presence onstage. Both her expressions and vocals are not bad, she's like a rabbit.
- Mashiro was also thinner, she looked cuter than she did in February, it's just that she's too short.
