For many trainees in the Love Bean circle, participating in the talent show to get the last chance to debut may be a major turning point in life. But it turns out that even if you didn't become the final debut team member from the talent show of that year, you can use these experiences to gain a foothold in the show business. Because everyone who has come over knows that a talent show is just a threshold for love beans.
In the first season of "Produce 101" that year, there was also a trainee who was not finally selected as a member of the debut team, but with his super creative ability, he is now known as the "female version" of Kwon Ji-yong. That's right! She is The Cube (G) I-DLE Captain "Little Fox" Tian Xiaojuan. Winning the music program title last year with a song called "LATATA" is also a testament to her unique insights and achievements in music over the years.
Of course, "Little Fox" Tian Xiaojuan is already a typical strength member among the K-POP love bean newcomers. However, one of the members of "Produce 48" also had a Japanese member who was not selected for the final debut group, but after returning to Japan, he ushered in a new turning point in his acting career. She is the same AKB48 member Shimomiwa who became popular last year for her dancing on stage video.
Although she did not make her debut as a member of IZER, after returning to Japan, Miyu Shimoo was selected for the AKB48 starting list for the first time. Before participating in "Produce 48", Miyu Shimoo's popularity was not too bad, but she was able to enter the starting list directly thanks to her excellent performance on "Produce 48".
In addition, in the list of music festivals in Thailand that AKB48 was invited to participate in, Miyu Shimoo also successfully entered the final 16 candidates. In February, she will also star in a short film as the heroine and was invited by the game manufacturer to be a voice actress. In the face of such a huge change, Miyu Shimoo herself admitted that she had grown a lot through Produce 48.
She believes that at the beginning, these Japanese trainees may have shown some discomfort with the overly harsh Korean trainee system, but after such "hellish" training, they returned to Japan to find that they played a very huge role in their own development. It can be seen that there are certain reasons why so many K-POP love beans in South Korea can gain a foothold in the world. Why can't other countries create top love beans like EXO and BTS? This is worth pondering.
