How Mnet Screwed Kenta Over

a list i will update continuously bc i know we’re gonna uncover more shady stuff mnet did to him

updated as of june 29

making him relearn sayonara hitori in japanese two weeks before recording to possibly:

justify why their xenophobic ass cut his performance 

expose him to criticism for singing in japanese instead of korean

give him a storyline as the japanese dude but then had to cut him out because he talked about mnet making him sing in japanese (aka shaded them) in front of the judges

make life harder for him (*whispers* bc they hate him)

for team battles:

didn’t show how be mine team 2 chose kenta as center despite showing all of the other groups’ centers

cut be mine team’s performance (they literally skipped to the end) and kept focusing on other trainees during kenta’s (and ponyo ofc) parts

gave the person with the most votes in team battles an interview except for kenta they didn’t even show his reaction they gave alpaca and tiptoe a teacher/student story instead which is great but why ONLY them????

showed how leaders and centers were chosen in position battles EXCEPT for spring day they never showed how they chose leader which was coincidentally kenta then too wow is it just me or is something weird here hahahaha

the thing that happened in be mine happened in spring day too except it was more obvious because kenta only had like two parts this time

during his parts the camera cut to the audience and the other trainees without doing that stupid repeating thing mnet does like five times (see: dongho in bil)

for comparison see how well they edited bjy’s vocal parts giving him a nice small box for eunki to comment that he’s handsome and not stealing the spotlight from him

didn’t show kenta helping sanggyun with his japanese rap (ano ano hajimemashite) or his reaction to his finished product 

(comparison: kenta reacting to dongho saying hontoni haha favoritism much but that’s a topic for another day)

(another comparison: woo jinyoung helping gwanghyun with his rap)

and for open up

aha HAHA OH BOY

H A!!!!! H A H A H AH A!!!!!

once again they completely skip over how kenta (and eunki) were chosen as center

instead they give daniel another inefficient leader storyline!!! ya y!! :D!!!!!!

why do they keep recycling storylines 

@mnet i don’t even write and I could come up with a better storyline for your whole damn show in fact I have like 5 already i can sell them to you so you can release the same season but with all the unused footage you have bc you always annoyingly repeat everything like 10 times god it’s so annoying

mnet tried to evil edit kenta and his team but hey it’s the effort that counts at least they made a somewhat convincing edit this time- 

(just kidding kenta was smiling in the mirror while kahi was talking all of korea noticed )

(also everyone liked how serious kenta looked and his black clothing so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

kenta vs daniel??? is this a massacre??? did they want to incur daniel fans’ wrath and destroy kenta?? actually that’s exactly what they wanted i know mnet i’ve analyzed them and gotten into their mind i have the whole conspiracy unraveled wake up america

it’s hilarious how they tried to make kenta look like he was planning mutiny against daniel and his team from open up (bc he’s a harmless puppy)

(also his serious expression?? it’s the same one he made when he was watching open up choreo it’s his focusing on choreo face)

(angry kenta doesn’t exist except maybe that time he was talking to haknyeon in open up)

fun fact that was the only time kenta ever got an interview the other time was when he got like two seconds onscreen to compliment hoeseung/hwiseung for be mine team 1

open up minus the eliminated trainees:

kenta’s screentime was still pathetic but we’ve been so deprived this was better than we could have ever expected

too bad voting closes in a few hours after the episode airs :)))))))))

and fancams are going to be released LATE hahaha i wonder why it’s because kenta killed the open up stage you dipshits wake up to the truth already

that deleted preview of kenta and yongguk and sungwoon and hyunbin as the four candidates for 20th place was cruel and unnessecary (also more preview footage that didn’t show up in the actual episode :///)

episode 10 (kill me now)

they show kenta begging for more screentime in the episode he’s eliminated (cruel and unecessary and made me want to cry)

they cut his ment far too quickly why can’t mnet be nice for once

they showed kenta in every elimination EXCEPT for the one where he was eliminated bc he wasn’t crying and mnet wanted to break him

the final episode (lololololololol)

all i have to say about this is that kenta got more screentime here than throughout the whole show

anyway

to summarize

they only used him for reactions shots and never gave him screentime for things that mattered like idk performances and skill and the one time he did get a storyline he was the antagonist to daniel’s protagonist

a special thank you to hwanoong and the dance trainer dude and alpaca and seonho for giving kenta the only pr he ever got on this godforsaken show

yumi probably doomed herself by choosing kenta as her pick too 

is it just me or did she not get much screentime??

look if kenta was her pick mnet definitely has footage of her complimenting him

conclusion: kenta and all the people who chose to associate with him suffered by mnet’s hands

!! NEW !! 

didn’t show a single interaction between kenta and the trainers not one nada

also the fact that seokhoon called mnet out on not showing kenta at all even though he was working hard should be convincing enough

they never showed kenta's ment for any of the evaluations besides be mine and they even cut that

in spring day everyone EXCEPT kenta got an interview when they saw the live voting results

they tried their best to make him nonexistent and tbh they succeeded
