This is why expert judges are so important in K-Pop competition shows. The crowd was cheering like they were amazing and were so puzzled at Soyeon's remarks, when it's obvious if you're actually watching objectively how poor of a performance it was. You can't just root for them because they're pretty and charming. I'm so glad that Soyeon and the other judges are there to bring the contestants back down to earth and keep the competition fair and grounded.

This is not anger , she's just being straight to the point

Soyeon is like the best mentor ever, she doesn't deserve it to be painted as an angry woman.

Soyeon really came with a purpose and fulfilled it. Greatest mentor ever

Fun fact Yooyeon keeps a Soyeon signed polaroid as a lucky charm because she was a very good mentor, and actually gave her a lot of confidence, she was even worst than this in the begining and Soyeon helped her improve so much

This is the EXACT judging they needed to have on R U Next?, they were not going to sugarcoat or tell them that they did good with a pat on their back and let them continue their mistakes. They were straight to the point and let them hear what they needed to hear, I love ittttt!!

this is why kpop is truly dead. ppl only care about how idols look instead of actual talent. Soyeon is so real.

I love this show! Btw both contestant that are competing Yoohyeon and Lee Jiwoo are now debuting in TripleS. They have a massive improvements since this show being aired. Sooyeon is a very good mentor. She is in charge for class 4, and Kim Yoohyeon is her student thats why she is getting more strict.

If Soyeon along with her mates like Aiki were the mentors for every idol grp in kpop then u can just imagine how many of our favs wouldn't have even able to debut... there are so many things that majority of the idols lack but bcuz of their looks they get immense support and hype!

Wtf is that tittle? She’s just saying things straight and factual like any mentor would 🙄

Both soyeon and the other judge are absolutely valid and lool how their criticism helped the kids improve!

Soyeon just told the truth. There is a lack of such trainers/judges in the Kpop industry to be honest. I whish the Kpop industry to be more about real talent than... connections, the influence of rich families, appearance and whether someone is cute or not...

if any of you don't know, jiwoo (the one with red beret) is from tripleS. she also competed in queendom puzzle this year and she has definitely improved A LOT. i'm proud of her

I hate how the audience was cheering for them when they were clearly bad.

Soyeon isn’t angry she’s just a true professional

I'm sorry but, Jiwoo did better in this mission. Given that they both lacked, it still was obvious that Jiwoo prepared more and made sure her vocal was stable while still staying on beat with the dance.

I can understand the audience trying to cheer them on so that they don’t get discouraged in the middle of their performance, that’s kind of sweet in a way. But what the judges brutally understand is that these same people could very well turn their backs on the girls after they debut, justifying it by saying, “Well it was cute when they were trainees, but now that they’ve debuted I have a ‘right’ to shit-talk about bad they are.” 😑

Now yooyeon and jiwoo have improved soooo much im so proud of them

I'd rather see average-looking people who have actual skill debut in a group than a group of attractive people who have no performance ability at all.

What really gets me is the girls vocals were obviously autotuned and they STILL sounded bad

Soyeon has the right to be angry, because this is the state that Kpop has come to. I mean just look at recent survival shows and 4th/5th gen groups. There’s too much focus on visuals and not enough on performance skills (most importantly singing) if you’re lacking but have insane visual then that’s ok. They will vote for anyone if they’re pretty, I mean look at R U Next…

The final performance has got to be THE LONGEST PERFORMANCE I've ever watched in my life 😭 😭

그녀는 훈련생들에게 최선을 다하길 원하기 때문에 그녀는 매우 엄격합니다.

If Soyeon has her own company her idols are going to be the best in yhe industry for having worked up from scratch

soyeon best mentor ever, she already the heart of her group, been to shows before, she was perfect to be mentor, literally honest and make the trainee do better, the show wasnt a joke, ofc everyone want the trainees to be good, that's why soyeon is here

Soyeon was just right debuting someone who's not ready or lacking of some skills is like puttinh someone lions den with billions of hungry lion waiting to that person to make mistake and be eaten. So happy that Yooyeon debuted as TripleS she's just lack of confidence but I'm sure this year she's already fill her lacking also I'm so envy with Yooyeon who got mentored by Soyeon

Someone hire soyeon for hybe shows

Crazy how they are the ones who ended up debutting among other talented girls. Idc if they’ve improved, the industry still hasn’t changed. There are many other girls who are way greater at vocals and dancing on beat, yet none of them has been on stage ever since the show ended, but these two who are obviously lacking managed to debut. If you watched the show, you would see that these two especially yooyeon were wayyyyyy behind the other girls. The industry hasn’t changed one bit, I’m just very disappointed.

Look at soyeon, from being an contestant to a mentor

At this rate you only need a pretty face to be a kpop idol😅

The fact that it's very, very clear that Jiwoo is better than Yooyeon in this mission. Her vocal are stable, her dance are in sync, her rap and her highnotes sounds so much better than Yooyeon but she got less votes than Yooyeon. We can see that Knets only care about face. Both of them are pretty but Yooyeon got that aegyosal.🤦‍♀️

Mentor Soyeon thinking "I could be feeding my goldish and be more entertained right now...."

There’s a difference between anger and frustration. She was frustrated by the lack of progress being shown. Even when in the practice room they were giving a lackluster performance, instead of showing passion and enthusiasm. Regardless if you’re performing in front of your mentors or a crowd of people, that energy needs to be shown. I felt like there was no energy and the one thing I was worried about was them being in sync and yet even after multiple rewinds it showed both were, not only off beat with each other, but with the music as well. These judges are good because they see them through professional eyes, and not in the eyes of their loved ones who can be very biased, even if they show no progress, which is understandable, but gets them no where. The whole point of these shows is to get them to build their skills, find and track their weaknesses and mold them into professional entertainers who will and can continue to show progress.

I think My Teenage Girl has the most people to come out and debut BECAUSE of these critisicms because it highlighted their mistakes, sure it made them feel bad, but now look at Jiwoo and Yooyeon in tripleS. They're SO much more ironed out and the gaps Soyeon was trying to show them in MTG were filled. So proud of both of them for taking it professionally, and so happy that Soyeon is their mentor.

Soyeon was choosed as judge and did her job as an actual judge

I don't think this should be the title of this video it should be ✨️Mentor Soyeon & Juhyeon spitting facts✨️

Im pretty sure the audience was cheering because they improved from the first time. It wasn't perfect but it is clear that they did improve a lot.

Soyeon was badly needed in r u next😭

Trainees nowadays are giving us nothing except for their visuals. People seem to be forgetting that kpop are supposed to be singers and their music. I can’t.

Let’s be honest, Jiwoo did better in that performance. Yooyeon edged her out in votes because she’s prettier.

Nah, this isnt anger, its a Queencard who says what she thinks without caring what others say

Why do ppl expect soyeon to be soft ? If these trainees aren't ready now , they can never survive in harsh kpop industry and especially the kpop stans

all survival shows need a judge like soyeon tbh. i have seen her before and she criticises harshly, but with constructive comments to help the contestants improve. she’s cool

Kshows literally need a mentor like soyeon she is honest and says fact!!

Sometimes beauty is not everything.

Their vocals are better than some other contestants but if you want to become a kpop idol, you'll need more than that

She is a coach. She has to be real with them for them to understand where it went wrong so they can become better and correct their errors. ❤ To me,she is the kindest here And it’s not trying to intimidate or anything like that. Trust me,I’ve been coaching before and it is hard too keep a cold face with harsh truth because you feel somehow bad to be that real with them but you know you have to for their good.

wish we could hear the raw vocals without autotune

Now both of them debuted in the same group name triples they improved so much pls support them

The amount of auto tune they used with Yuyeon for her to still sound like that…😬

this is how I know I could never do anything like this, I was listening like "Oh that sounds good! Wait why are they mad-"😭

She wasn't angry, even when I was watching the episodes about a year or two ago, it was common sense that she was just being blunt and telling them what they needed to hear

They've improved so much now. Yooyeon and Jiwoo are now members of TripleS

I’m glad to see jiwoo and yooyeon’s improvement since this show they sound a lot better and if you look at this performance and compare it to like jiwoo’s queendom puzzle performances she sounds really good now and so does yooyeon great job on improving triple s fighting ❤

I’m not a gidle fan or follow someone much but goddamn she is the first judge where I’m like blown away by not only actually critiquing and not being mean but being real af like sometimes these performances and the idols skills are just so bad and the only way to get them to step it the fuck up is to be told THAT SHIT SUCKS >< I think anyways 🤷🏽‍♀️ kinda hard though with a duo but that’s why you should definitely step it up better cuz it’s just you two.

Fact the both don't deserve to debut with this kind of performance but the auditions choose yooyeon because of her visual definitely

despite the work hard from all trainees, i still feel bad to Class 3's Mentor, none of her students winning in the end

soyeon seems like fresh air in this show

okay im going off topic but Soyeon eyes are so captivating>>>>

They lacked energy or rather enthusiasm. If they actually gave us an energetic performance, I could overlook the so-so vocals and dance mistakes. Jiwoo's energy started out good, but as the song went on, it just puttered out. Its whatever now since both have debuted but generally, what bothers me most about trainees is when they lack enthusiasm.

Yooyeon adores Soyeon, she recently said on live she always carries around a pola she took with her and that it's her lucky charm🥺

Audience was cheering only cause they are pretty. I guess the standard for kpop girl idols is getting low. Singing, rapping and even the dancing was off. They were practicing the performance but they didn't improve that much...how is that possible? Everybody gets better with practise but somehow this two can't. I can see that they were getting away with everything cause they are pretty but it's time to wake up if you wanna be kpop idol.

Soyeon never says anything that's unnecessary or just straight mean with no real criticism. She was right. This performance lacked greatly. I think people have a hard time looking at things objectively in situations like this because we become so attached to their personalities but if a video of this performance has been shared without anyone knowing who they were they would have been harshly attacked by the public. By performing here and getting advice from professionals while also building a fan base they can really grow to become better artists, so yes it's sad when your faves don't make it but it's often the best for everyone and I doubt it will be the last time you see them, doesn't jisoo debut and compete on kingdom puzzle with a groupmate? It can work out in the end. Rooting for all hardworking rookies, I hope you receive the harsh criticism before it's too late and you're able to grow and debut!

As a judge for national competitions, there’s nothing more frustrating than you trying to correct a student flaws and on the day of their competition they are still bad if not worse than the previous times you’ve been trying to correct their flawed actions. The taller girl should have debuted vs the other smaller girl. She clearly got votes because she’s cuter which is extremely unfair because she was the most offbeat and off pitch during evaluations and the final performance. I’m not surprised that in Korea it’s more of a beauty contest than an actual talent contest.

THIS IS HOW SWF2 JUDGES SHOULD BE LOL HAHAHAHA

Soyeon says things in a straight up way but she says the truth.

As an ex kpop fan. Soyeon keeps my hope alive to see some actual talent in K-pop.

She wasn't even Angry she was being Iconic

Both Soyeon and Joohyun were great mentors and judges, as seen in this video! They need to be strict so that the trainees improve

love Jeon Soyeon 💖💖💖💖💖💖

I still don’t get how yooyeon could choose this song when she’s clearly unable to sing it

the audience and especially the Korean fans...should understand that being an artist is not just about having a pretty face...

that’s just a mentor mentoring as she should❤

Soyeon is honestly the best mentor she wants them to be the best they can be and she’s honest with what she says

this is what a good judge looks like. they tell the truth

she was here for a reason,and she fulfilled her exact reason to be here

Soyeon is a great judge

i am sorry but how did yooyeon receive more votes? jiwoo was way more advanced in terms of vocals and dancing considering the fact that both the girls were lacking.. i get that yooyeon fits the idol beauty image or whatever more but do people just not care about a good performance anymore?

They’re so lucky because this is how judges lead you to do better and better performance..

10:29 I'm sorry but she sounds very obviously auto tuned what the heck lmao

Soyeon should've taken over the R U Next program. I don't care if 2nd gen idols were on it (I'm a 2nd gen stan myself), Soyeon does the judging job better.

Soyeon really does need to be a judge more.

I like how she's being straight with the words. So the contestants learned to improvise their performance than sweet words only makes contestants felt safe and not improve just like others idol

Soyeon knows what she is doing and talking about. Queen

Damn this shit was so long ago why tf they posting this now lol both trainees have alr debuted in the same grp and will be having a cmb with their subunit tripleS evolution in October hope y’all can support them both

"we actually have to perform well" no shit.

Honestly as judges, I think seeing potential and improvement is important. They told these underaged girls to their face LIVE that the performance was really bad. LMAO I saw them before they actually went out to perform and be judged. To be frank, they were really bad during practice and got criticized bad but with that being said they improved and took those comments from the judges beforehand to consideration. I think their overall performance was not "really bad' it was actually "just good/okay". They improved and sounded quite better than I thought considering what I saw during practice.

Tbh I thought Jiwoo was the better performer, her vocals were more stable and she had a lot more confidence

Petition for Soyeon to be on Ru next 👇🏻

Soyeon’s personality isn’t like rude. She’s very very kind! She’s being strict so that they will be debuting in a proper way

I'm sorry but if I'm gonna be brutally honest I never understood why Yuyeon is so popular. Like, she's pretty and all but she never stood out to me vocally or in any of the dances. She's just... there... which is why I'm so dumbfounded as to why she's so popular among the audiences.

if soyeon were my mentor, id cry but I would significantly improve. To be a mentor doesn't mean you make your mentee happy, you're supposed to tell them whats wrong.

I look how the entire crowd turns silent as if they are being scolded by their strict teacher

It's almost like they're making it a point to not be in sync and half assing the moves 😂 Whew

i cracked the code-- that smile means : you gotta be fucking kidding me with that shit.

Is it weird that I presume that K pop trainees who are also younger than me are supposed to be more talented than I am? The fact that even I could perform better and these random girls get to debut is mindblowing…

People nowadays be calling strict mentors angry because they don't act like crazy fools in love when they see obviously poor or sometimes sh*tty performances wth

She is so Good and cool

Im not planning on being an idol (im American and live in America-) but I would still absolutely LOVE to have these judges and Soyeon as a mentor.. they actually care and know what corrections to give and sure, it would be tough, but I believe it would help immensely if I were to be one

Your video names are getting a little bit ridiculous. Will the next video be named "Soyeon nim axe murders trainees in bloodthirsty rampage"? I understand that using #SOYEON and #GIDLE gets more clicks but jeesh. You seem to desperately want her to be the "Simon Cowell" of K-talent shows when she is already better than that. Honesty will attract more fans for your content than deception does. Give it a try.
