Miyawaki Sakura, currently appearing on "PRODUCE 48", has a past SNS "secret account" discovered and is a hot topic in Korea for being a fan of "Red Velvet"


Miyawaki Sakura, currently appearing on Mnet's "PRODUCE 48" and currently ranked 5th, has a past SNS "secret account" discovered in Japan, and it is a hot topic in Korea that she was a fan of the girl group "Red Velvet".


Korean media reported that "Miyawaki Sakura's secret account was leaked in Japan last year.


Among the posts were images of the girl group Red Velvet, and she was a fan of Irene in particular."


Miyawaki Sakura is currently appearing on "PRODUCE 48" broadcasting on Mnet, and since she is a member who is ranked 5th, Korean viewers are also paying attention to her, and it seems that they are more sensitive to past rumors.


(From K-POP News)

The stage videos of "PRODUCE 48" have been uploaded to YouTube, so I'll watch them.


I've seen Korean trainees' stages, such as Jeon Somi (currently working solo), Sejong (gugudan), and Yeonjung (WJSN), so I have some idea of what it's like.


The question was what the Japanese members' stage would be like.


Japanese girls are more likely to perform in groups, as represented by "AKB48," than in groups of a few.


It was interesting to see how each member would appeal to their own individuality and skills in solo and multi-person stages.


As the name suggests, "PRODUCE 48" is a joint Japanese-Korean survival audition.


The standard is the K-POP style, but the ultimate goal is to screen trainees from both Japan and Korea to create a 12-member girl group and debut it (even if they aren't selected, quite a few girls will debut through their agencies).




Until now, there have been girls' and boys' editions under the name "PRODUCE 101", and this is the third in the series.


As the members are familiar with each other through the program stages, the girls' debut became an instant hit, and so there is a tendency for the period of activity to be longer.


The girls selected for "PRODUCE 48" this time are set to be active for two and a half years after their debut.


This means that their schedules will be packed with various commitments during this period.


Since the auditions promise to produce such popular girls, there is a lot of attention on how the 12 members from both Japan and Korea will be distributed.


And so, "PRODUCE 48 EP-2 RANK 1-96" has been released.


Looking at the rankings from 1st to 12th, five members have made it into the range: Matsui Jurina in 12th, Takeuchi Miyu in 11th, Yamada Noe in 9th, Goto Moe and Miyawaki Sakura in 8th.


Since it's a joint Japanese-Korean audition, it seems natural that the members should be split evenly.


I took a quick look at the stage.


As expected, the members from Japan looked confused and perplexed.


There are also many examples, like Yamada Noe, who has successfully specialized her character by showing off her own unique qualities.


However, many of the members remain in a state where they are unable to alienate themselves (art) on stage.


When that happens, only their amateurish (true selves) are revealed, and they are unable to find the art that should be there, which makes the judges, including Bae Yoon Jung, burst out laughing.


However, this is not surprising, as the Japanese members came here without much practice (there are no idols who develop).


Despite this, five Japanese members made it into the rankings, likely because of the high expectations placed on them.


Whether they can grow and live up to those expectations depends on their own attitude.


When a growing generation competes in a world they love, members are sure to emerge who show incredible growth.


What kind of heroines will emerge this time?
What kind of girls will they be...I can't wait to see them.
