The Great Produce 48 Rewatch: Ep 4, Boombayah Challenge, Part 1

Welcome, or Welcome Back, to The Great Produce48 Rewatch Recap Project Thingy Dingy! When we left off in the previous post, we saw team High Tension. But today we're going to a dark world... a Black World, if you will... and a world of fire and brimstone. It's Boombayah, Group 1, and it's Hellbayah.

(And if you’d like to watch, you can click here and go to the 1:09:20 mark)

Let's do it!

Lee Seungki calls the two Boombayah teams up to the stage, and in the judges room, Cheetah cutely does the sort of “backstroke” arm move from the dance. 

Team 1 introduces itself as “Black World.”

LTR: Kim Sohee, Won Seoyeon, Park Chanju, Ko Yujin, Lee Chaejeong

Team 2 introduces itself as “Snack.”

LTR: Han Chowon, Asai Nanami, Asai Yuuka, Chiba Erii, Kang Hyewon, Sato Minami

Seungki challenges them to talk a little smack to each other, and both teams promise to win. We see that the audience is full of fans of Nanami and Erii. 

We flashback to Team 1’s rehearsals… 

The story so far is that Chaejeong picked the group with Boombayah in mind. She thought Yujin would suit the song, that Chanju would learn it quickly, and that she needed Soyeon to sing. She added Sohee on purpose to provide cuteness. Naturally, given that she had a whole plan in mind, the team elects her leader immediately. Everything’s going so perfectly... Is it maybe too perfect? 

Kim Sohee, age 14, future member of Rocket Punch, rose from C to B and was ranked 44th.

Won Seoyeon, age 18, who auditioned to Heroine by Sunmi, fell from C to F and was ranked 77th as of episode 3. 

Park Chanju, age 19, label mate of Chaejeong’s, fell from C to D and was ranked 69th. 

Ko Yujin, age 17, the “Hyuna lookalike” who auditioned with Lip and Hip and rose from C to A. She was ranked 34th.

Lee Chaejeong, age 18, future member of Alice, stayed in C and was ranked 94th. 

We skip to dress rehearsal and the judges are complimenting them on their skills, talent, energy, and charisma. They do say, however, the Chanju is lacking a bit as center, and suggest that maybe they should change. In a flashback-within-the-flashback, we see them at rehearsal with Mary J Lee, where Chanju is making a lot of mistakes. Mary J Lee suggests changing the center to Yujin. Then we go to vocal/rap rehearsal, where Cheetah tries to get Chanju to put a little more “oomph” into her introductory “Black World in your area…”. Chanju is pronouncing it “annea” not “area”, too. Cheetah is like, “This is basically your only line -- can you not do it right?” and Chanju just keeps doing it the same way. Chaejeong tries and does a much better job, and Soyou suggests changing the center to Chaejeong. 

LTR: Sohee, Chaejeon, Chanju, Kojin, Soyeon

They have a meeting to discuss it and Chanju apologizes for all the mistakes. Chaejeong, who is Chanju’s labelmate and her friend, tells her it’s ok, there’s still time to improve.

They exchange a look...

and then Chanju collapses into tears. 

Her team tries to cheer her up. She continues quietly sobbing through her whole interview. She vows to make her team not doubt their decision to keep her as center. 

And that’s it! That’s all the rehearsal footage they get. 

Here’s PD48 editing’s blessed edit. 

LTR: Chaejeong, Sohee, Chanju, Yujin, Soyeon

Clockwise from bottom left: Yujin, Sohee, Chanju, Soyeon, Chaejeong

I don’t think the stylist unnie did them too many favors. This is all just black and white, no color at all, and Chaejeong’s outfit just adds bulk around her middle instead of emphasizing her curves. You can tell she’s a pretty trim and fit girl, but that’s not how she looks in the outfit. Chanju’s outfit is the worst offender -- the loose knit shorts with a weird suspender/ garter belt thingy over it? What is that? And those trouser socks pulled up to her knee? What is happening? At least her hair looks gorgeous. 

My thoughts:

Kind of underwhelming. Not terrible, but not spectacular.

Chanju does her best as center, and she does manage that first moment ok. I don’t know what, specifically, is missing. 

Her hairography is great, though.

I think the biggest problem is Sohee. 

I think you guys know by now that I quite like Rocket Punch, and Sohee does a great job as a member of Rocket Punch. But… she’s so young here and really doesn’t fit the concept. She also doesn’t do a very good job, unfortunately. Her dancing is weak and vague, her singing is wavery and pitchy, and she looks completely out of place next to most of the others. I know that Chaejeong picked her to “add cuteness” but I’m not sure that this group needed cuteness. It needed a 100% badass team to really rock it, and Sohee is very much the weakest link. Not her fault. She just needed more time to grow her skillset, and she needs a different concept to really shine. Never fear, Sohee! You’re going to debut in just a few years and do great! This just wasn’t your time. 

Soyeon’s singing anchored the team and she had the look and attitude down. There’s a bit of spark missing, I think? But it’s not anything I can pin down. 

Chaejeong killed it. Her rapping sounded great to me, and her attitude and performance overall was great. 

Yujin also killed it. Everything Chaejeong did, just with Korean-approved visuals too. I think she should have been the center. 

The MNET edit has lots of positive reactions from the other and from the judges, but they actually cut out a few seconds of the performance for no reason I can figure out. As Chaejeong raps, we hear Chetah saying, “She’s so full of charisma -- she’s made to perform.” The trainees and judges are signing and dancing along, and when the performance is done, they applaud with apparent sincerity. 

When they’re done, we go almost immediately to Group 2.

Soyou says,

“I think I’ll cry if they [group 2] do well.”

Dance Bae notes that both teams have good visuals, and the judges all say that they’re cheering for Group 2.

The members:

Han Cho Won, age 15, future Lightsum member who rose from D to B, ranked 79th.

Asai Nanami, age 18, aka Sailor Venus, who rose from F to D and was ranked 41st.

Asai Yuuka, age 14, who auditioned with Knock Knock, rose from F to D and was ranked 80th. 

Chiba Erii, age 14, aka Sailor Mercury, consistent F class girl ranked 38th.

Kang Hyewon, age 18, Miss Purity herself, consistent F class girl ranked 40th. 

Sato Minami, age 14, aka Sailor Mars, fell from D to F and was ranked 66th.

The story so far is that this group is the “leftovers” group -- the group of trainees no one else picked. Han Chowon, a member of group B and a talented young trainee, took over as leader and center because no one else would, and Kang Hyewon, the slightly dimwitted seeming Very Pretty Girl, unexpectedly stepped up to take on the main rapper role.

We jump back to rehearsals. 

Han Chowon is going through it. She’s exhausted from her quadruple role as leader, center, cheerleader, and teacher to the rest of the group. “I’m trying hard to lead the group,” she says, “but not everyone is able to follow along.”

I know this is a moment of them resting, and Erii is obviously watching the performance on the tablet, but they just look so dispirited. I think that’s Sato Minami on the left with her hair over her face -- I think she’s asleep, actually -- and that’s Asai Nanami sitting on the floor staring off into space. 

A staff member asks Chowon, what is the most frustrating aspect? And Chowon pauses for a long time before saying, “Sure, we had members who worked very hard” (and the camera shows us Nanami running through the moves) “but a few members made me doubt if they even wanted to perform” (and the camera points out Minami and Erii, giggling together, or sitting on the floor and needing to be literally dragged into practicing). 

The problem seems to be the three 14-year-old Japanese members of the team. The two 18-year-olds, Nanami and Hyewon, do their best to literally drag them into practicing.

“Get up. We have to practice.” - Hyewon doing her best 

We saw stuff like this with some of the younger boys on Boys Planet, as well. It’s almost as if, oh, I don’t know, maybe most 14 year olds don’t have the emotional maturity to face up to a situation like this and rise to the challenge, or the physical strength to keep going when you’re exhausted and underfed -- not to mention the constant mental drain of being in an environment where you can’t speak your native tongue. It’s almost as if, oh, I don’t know, maybe they shouldn’t let 14 year olds on shows like this? 

Erii, who breathes through gills on her neck and thus wears her mask under her chin, interviews, “Korean raps are so difficult. The tempo is really fast.” 

Minami says she felt demotivated. G”I don’t think I tried very hard,” she interviews. God, she looks so miserable.

To the left: Team 1, rehearsing. To the right: Team 2, standing around. 

We go visit the girls at vocal rehearsal.

Minami, Erii, Yuuka, Nanami, Hyewon, Chowon 

Minami and Erii are shown sort of… murmuring vaguely, I guess I’ll say… in the opening lines, which are in English: “Been a bad girl, I know I am / and I’m so hot, I need a fan / I don’t want a boy, I need a man.” They are putting absolutely no emphasis or energy into it. Not even a little.

Look, I get it. Rapping along with a rap song not in your language is tough. But there are Korean rap songs I’ve heard enough times that I can at least do a “na na na” noise to in rhythm even though I have no idea what they’re saying. If I had two days of practice, I think I could learn two or three lines of lyrics, especially if I just had to read them off of a sheet of paper! Also, the opening lines of Boombayah are in English, and they’re the same lines in the Japanese version and the Korean version. The song was a monster hit -- did they not hear the song thousands of times? Didn’t they study English in school? These are all fairly elementary English words, I feel like. I’m not just tearing these girls down over nothing, but I feel like they’re not even TRYING. It’s uncomfortable to watch. 

Cheetah is like, “What are they DOING?” PS: I love when Cheetah does her heavy makeup, bright red lip thing. She’s such a queen. Have you listened to Villain yet? Because it slaps. 

Soyou is ded.  

They get to the first “Boombayah!” and Cheetah is like, ok, that’s enough. After an uncomfortable pause, Cheetah asks, “What was I supposed to even watch? … I don’t think this is a language barrier issue.” 

Soyou immediately agrees, asking them if they just aren’t trying because they don’t want to do it. Yuuka, who is also 14 but appears to be trying a bit harder than her young teammates, shakes her head no, and Nanami, the team “mom” I think, also shakes her head no, as if trying to say, no, we’re here to try. But Minami and Erii just stare. Minami looks sad, at least, but Erii is just… well, whatever this is. 

LTR: Minami, Erii, Yuuka, Nanami

Honestly, Erii’s dead eyed stares get on my last nerve. I am trying not to be mean about the girl because she’s young and under stress and all that but OMG. GIRL. WTF. Why are your bangs just a little clump in the center of your face, and why is your brain just a little clump in the middle of your head? Sigh. That’s mean. But I’m not deleting it. 

Soyou calls out Minami and Erii. Pointing to them, she asks, “Are you both that discontent? You’re not even nodding. Your not singing, you’re not replaying, you’re not responding.

Aww, Minami looks terrified. I feel for the kid, despite everything.

Soyou says, “If you don’t want to be taught, then get out.”  There’s a long pause again, then shes asks Hyewon to give it a shot. We’re reminded that Hyewon stepped up to be main rapper. She tries to say “Blackpink in your area,” but manages to give it the volume and enthusiasm you’d give the phrase “hey, can you pass me the salt?” while someone else is telling a story at the dinner table. 

Cheetah is trying not to lose her shit. 

She makes her do it again and she does it exactly the same every time, and every time she looks at Cheetah when she’s done, hoping for approval. Meanwhile, her attempts are so similar to each other that you could believe it’s just the same audio clip played over and over again, which, maybe it is. When Cheetah sort of yells at her, she laughs uncomfortably and apologizes. Cheetah is like, you don't have to be sorry to me. My butt isn’t getting on stage in a few days.

Soyou is all of us.

Ok, let's pick up immediately in the next post, because I'm out of space for photos!

My final 12 🌸💟✨ Produce48

If I had to rank them, thats how I’d probably do it. Just for fun I added the positions I would put them in.

1. Kwon Eun Bi

I love this girly so much, she deserves better and would be a phenomenal center and leader! Her stage presence is just crazy. Basically she got it, is what I want to say.

Position: Center, Lead Vocal, Lead Dancer

2. Park Hae Yoon

THE Voice for me, so much emotion, so much love, she deserved way better. If she'll not debut I'm gonna throw hands! But honestly if she’s not gonna debut she’ll be great as a solo artist, maybe even better tbh. But she needs the exposure the group is gonna give her.

Position: Main Vocal

3. Lee Chae Yeon

Girl can do everything! I love her, I wish she'd believe more in herself cause she really is great! Makes me sad to see her so insecure. A humble soul. I love.

Position: Main Dancer, Lead Vocal

4. Han Cho Won

I loved her right from the beginning, like when she first stepped in on ep.1. I just knew there was something about her and girl was I right. Stage Presence, dance, rap and most of all VOICE!

Position: Main Vocal, Lead Rapper

5. Miyazaki Miho

I loooooove her! Her voice in "The Truth Untold" 😍 Heavenly! Plus she is so freaking sweet!

Position: Lead Vocal

6. Takeuchi Miyu

Once again someone who can siiiing. Also loved her in "The Truth Untold". Her voice is really special.

Position: Lead Vocal

7. Kim Min Ju

I don't really know why, but I really love her. She's not that outstanding vocal wise yet, but I think she's really working on it. The tone of her voice is really nice though. Her dancing skills are already good imo. And it's great seeing her get more confident, even if it's a slow process.

Position: Sub-Vocal, Visual

So from here on we're gonna start with the ones I wouldn't have put in my dream top 12 but oh well. I still like them but there were others I liked better.

8. Jang Won Young

She's a real cutie with a super sweet voice and her stage presence is no joke! Overall I'm just a bigger fan of more badass girlies (but she's still very young so I get it) or really impactful voices but I still really like her.

Position: Lead Dancer, Sub-Vocal, Visual

9. Takahashi Juri

Honestly I really like her, there are just others I would have liked better. But I really liked her in "DDU DU DDU DU", she has a great voice and can apperently rap really well. Also stage presence 👌

Position: Main Rapper, Sub-Vocal

10. Lee Ga Eun

First of all she is an overall talent. Like she can sing, dance, rap and she really knows how to play with the camera but somehow there is something special missing for me. This might sound dumb but she is so perfect at everything she does that it gets a little boring to me, like I need something that makes her stand out. But that's just my opinion. After all she seems SUPER nice!

Position: Leader, Lead Dancer, Lead Rapper, Sub-Vocal

11. Coi Ye Na

She is SO sweet an bubbly, I really like her personality. She obviously can sing and dance but for some reason she just isn't one of my ideal top 12.

Position: Lead Dancer, Sub-Vocal, Rapper

12. Jo Yu Ri

She really can sing but compared to Haeyoon or Chowon her high notes always seem a little shrill to me. The main thing that throws me off about her is her personality. I don't really know why and what exactly it is, but there is something about her I don't like. Maybe that's the shows fault and she was portrayed wrongly at some point and I subconciously started to not like her. I don't want this to come off the wrong way. I don't want to judge her personality based on a show cause I don't know her in real life. She might be a total sweetie. That's just the feeling the show conveyed for me. She’s still very talented though, so I’d put her in my final 12.

Position: Main Vocal

[channiehyungs]

my top 12 in pd48 after episode 5

*not in any specific order

1.) lee chaeyeon - this girl has been through so much shit can we please. let her in??? also she'd be a great main dancer and AT LEAST lead vocal

2.) lee gaeun - nation's mom, upcoming leader, deserves better. literally when she cried because of her mom i cried,, also she's in first place without a super big amount of screentime in comparison to the other trainees

3.) kwon eunbi - another great dancer!! also nation's mom pt. 2,,, out of all the starship girls i love her the most, especially because of how considerate she is to the other girls!!

4.) takeuchi miyu - literally one of the best vocals on the show. her deeper-ish voice might contrast a lil with the other girls but im not really worried about that, it'll work out somehow

5.) anh yujin - honestly she's the closest thing we have to a rapper being in the top 12? which makes me mad rip park jinny her rap in neomu neomu neomu was pretty good and she's adorable.

6.) yabuki nako - AKFJDNANAKA my baby!!! so pure??? she literally breathed out that high note. she's going to be at least a lead vocal, most likely main though.

7.) miyawaki sakura - there's no way she's not getting in the group tbh? either way, i actually do like her. she's pure, and while she isn't the most talented japanese contestant, she has major amounts of charm.

8.) park haeyoon - i didn't pay attention to her initially but after her performance in like ooh ahh she won my heart??? her high note was so clean it saved my life

9.) haeun (i can't remember her last name) - also another one who won my heart with the like ooh ahh performance !! her harmonic part in the last chorus was amazing, and she's also a great dancer

10.) honda hitomi - her face is so squishy i can't believe it!!; and her shock when she was in the top 12 was so cute. in addition, she's such a good dancer!!

11.) han chowon - okay so like. is a longshot but like,, it's possible. she isn't the best necessarily but she completely won me over after the boombayah problem. she's such a sweetheart and she's so!! pretty i love her

12.) go yujin - so this season of pd48 is kind of lacking in rappers? but she's actually really good, looking at the boombayah evaluation. my only possible concern is her visual standing out against the rest of the team, who look like babies. i would love to see her in though!!

some girls i wanted to get in but just didn't have enough spots : kang hyewon (i really admire her for taking up the rap position when she had no experience), goto moe (she's really cute and pure and charismatic but there are just better japanese trainees), yamada noe (look at moe's explanation), kim minju (she hasn't enough screentime yet and i would like to see her talents more before deciding), chaewon (her like ooh ahh performance was adorable and her voice would match the other girls), and some more. yeah

edit : i forgot so many girls dear lord

[🏵] #PRODUCE48 EPISODE THREE - LIVE THREAD - WOOLLIMGIRLS.

The mentors explained how are the changes doing to be. There were a lot of trainees that moved from the lower classes to the upper classes, here are the new positions of the trainees from Woollim.

Kim Sohee: C - B 

Kim Suyoon: C - C 

Kim Chaewon: B - B 

Kwon Eunbi: A - C 

Suyoon’s face when she saw Eunbi entering the room of C class.

Eunbi said:  “I made a mistake so I knew I was going to be downgraded”.

 Because I’m the oldest I always told them that we can do it, that we could do it, but I couldn’t keep my words. I was sorry towards the others, it feels like I can’t pull my role as the oldest (leader).”

After the announcements of the new positions were done, they moved to the segment where the trainees had to pick a center for “Naekkoya”. In the end, there were only two candidates that got the biggest amount of votes from the rest of 94 trainees: Sakura and Gaeun. Sakura got the most amount of votes so she is the center.

Eunbi said: There's no a feeling about “I won”, but there's a feeling like “we won together”. That's the feeling I got (from them).

After that, they showed the recording for Naekkoya. The team Woollim was playing around with their groups and classes. 

Chaewon and Sohee were spotted together and Eunbi also said something about the A class when they were up onstage: “ Why does every look so pretty (on stage)? Ah, originally we were in Class A too.”

The positions onstage of Woollimgirls for Naekkoya were: 

Front of the stage, first line: Chaewon, Sohee, and Suyoon. 

Back of the stage, almost last line: Kwon EunBi.

After that, Seunggi appeared to encourage them and also he talked about how much they prepared for that live performance before moving to the next segment in which the trainees need to pick the song for the first group battle evaluation.

Also, here are the faces of Suyoon and Chaewon when both saw Seunggi.

Moving to the next segment, the girls had to pick up trainees to make their groups, the first trainee that had the opportunity to pick was Sakura.

Sakura picked up her team: Choyeon, Chaeyeon, Minju, and Eunbi. They were called “The Avengers” team and other trainees recognized that she picked up talented people.

Q: Why did you choose this combination? 

Sakura: They all have different charms so we will be able to pull off any song 

After that, Chaewon, Suyoon, and Sohee were picked by other trainees. The leader of her team, picked Sohee because she is cute and she thought she needed a cute person because her team was coming out too strong.

During the race, you can see that Sakura wanted to pick Peek-A-Boo but Jurina got it first, on the other hand, the leader of Sohee’s team wanted Boombayah and she got Boombayah. Chaewon’s team got Like ooh-aah.

Sakura team need to wait to get picked, so as the team of which Suyoon is a member.

At this point, they asked Japanese trainees which team they wanted to avoid and they said they wanted to avoid Boombayah because it was difficult, but when they were picking their rivals the Boombyaha leader picked a group made by mostly japanese girls and the leader was Chowon, they started to cry and the leader of boombayah said that she was sorry.

After that, they started to pick leaders and centers for each group. Eunbi became the leader for her team and she leads the girls when the moment to pick the center came. She said that they had to vote for each candidate (Choyeon and Sakura), in the end, Choyeon won.

In sohee’s team, the leader was picked up as soon as possible.

In Suyoon’s team, they picked Yoojin as their center.

After that, we moved straight to the battle groups evaluation. None of the girls appeared on stage, but they appeared reacting to other performances.

Suyoon reacting to Love Whisper team.

To close this episode they showed part of team 1 and 2 of Very Very Very team and then they ended the episode like that.

The show ended, the new rankings of Team Woollim: 

 Eunbi - 5 

Chaewon - 30. 

SoHee - 48 

Suyoon - 54 

NEXT WEEK:

After episode three was released a HUGE controversy popped out to team 1 of Boombayah. Sohee’s team.

[☡] The individual fancam of Sohee have 2K likes and 1K of dislikes. Why? It seems that people are joining the bandwagon of hate towards her because of a misunderstanding caused in episode 3. Actually, they are hating the whole team 1 of Boombayah.

[☡] The comments under the videos of each trainee (who are from Boombayah Team 1) are divided in fans who ask people to stop hating on them, in fans who are confused and in people who leave comments full of hate. As you can see here, it's not only about Sohee.

 [☡] When they were discussing the groups they wanted to be rivals, there was more than one group that aimed to be rival with the team of Han Chowon, they showed other groups talking about that team but it was very briefly, instead they focused on what the leader of Boombayah said.  The controversy starts with this conversation of Boombayah Team 1. 

 Chaejeong; The group that has Chowon in it. 

Yujin: Yes, let's go with that. 

Chaejeong: I feel sorry but... 

Seoyeon starts to move her hands while laughing nervously before she said: I don't want to die. 

That conversation made everyone laugh. After that, we jump straight to the moment when Chaejeong picked her opponent, obvious she picked Chowon teams just to go as she planned. When the group of Chowon came to stand beside team 1 they started crying and Chaejeong apologized.

There were many things that didn't go well for team 1, and the solo interview of Chaejeong didn't help much as she stated that "everything is going according to her plan haha". After all these elements came together, the backlash (especially from the international fandom) for Team 1 of Boombayah was unavoidable as the editing of this episodes put them in a very compromising situation.
