Its amazingly sad how at this point in time at just TWO Episodes in i cant wait to see the movie/show ratings of upcoming dramas/movies on the actors ends or even the Black Oceans and no applauding that is gonna happen from the idols upcoming concerts just cause of these grown adults actions toward these young men just trying to make their way. Like if i had the money to go to a StayC concert, you bet your booty id start a boycott for the crowd NOT to clap and cheer or even to scream "We shouldn't applaud in support cause its childish". Schedules/Concerts/Shows or Training... you applaud people out of respect for the hard work they do... why would you expect any praise from anyone after treating another human being like that and EVEN WORSE a group of young apprising artists/idols. Double standards are wrong, Harsh and Cruel statements are WRONG!!! Using gaslighting, mental diversion/manipulation or making someone to feel they have done wrong by speaking out IS WRONG!!! That is not teaching them hard work or how to be determined, its straight up cruel and inhumane.

I feel so bad for Sun Ying Hao for having to sit there watching the torment they were putting them through and then trying to stop what was happening, only in turn to have Lee Seung Gi take it upon himself to shame him for speaking out, telling him that basically in a "concert" dancing for an hour straight with basically NO BREAK is what happens (not) and that his burst out would have caused the fans/audience to miss their "hard work and eager" performance cause he disrupted their flow. Also claiming that what we watched is what EVERYONE wants to see... Like tf no we don't. We don't want to see a bunch of adult senior idols (actors) tormenting young dreamers and calling it "Guiding/Mentoring/Teaching". Even more so cause half that panel of judges have been harassed and bashed before and some even in recent years by their companies, media's and in some cases group mates. It's even more horrible knowing that one of them had a LAW put in order in his honor to protect young celebrities and trainees from having to suffer the same things he did. It was just sad to see him be put in place like that and not ONE of those judges have even a little bit of a heart to jump in. The fact the he said " I'm sorry for my implusiveness" broke my heart cause he wasn't wrong!!!!

Like tf is wrong with people...? They are human beings, not soulless machines that work the way you want at the push of a button JUST cause you say to. I get wanting to test their metal and what they can do, but there were SO MANY other ways to do it without mentally hurting them or potentially crushing them from even wanting to try with false statements of "Thats how this works" or "this is what is expected" when its REALLY NOT.

Scripted or not... this show is everything that is wrong with todays world, its uncomfortable and cruel cause there are judges there that have faced situations in the past with companies that HAVE DONE THE SAME things to them and they are willing to do it to another person just cause a producer wrote it down on a piece of paper for MORE views and ratings. They do deserve the backlash [D**th threats are pushing it just a bit to far though cause that is just being extreme] but yeah they deserve to be called out for sitting there and doing nothing to fix the problem BEFORE it became one. This is not judging or mentoring and it makes me sick that they are even called Guiders when they ARENT. They are Bullies thanks to the greed of producers and staff pushing the narrative to be CRUEL instead of just using PROPER judging skills to evaluate someone's performance.

NO i am not sorry to post this or be this cruel about it cause again WHETHER SCRIPTED OR NOT, they did not take the ball in their own court to be sensible and respectful to humans just trying their best. They were cruel, rude, inhumane and nasty simply cause a piece of paper said to be [IF that was how it even happened, cause if they did so without the script THAT is even worse and I even more so don't feel sorry for my review AT ALL] So take it as this, this is my FULL opinion on the matter and yea it wont change. I wouldn't give the show even half of one star but seems I couldnt post this unless I did. I stand with Sun Ying Hao for being brave enough to speak out and Ivan for pushing even though he was having a hard time and after Episode 2, I literally cant stomach anymore of this show even if they did correct their mistakes or change how it is ran. I will happily be giving my votes to Sun Ying Hao simply just cause he did something that a lot trainees WOULDN'T have done and spoke his feelings honestly. If other continue to watch it, cool but I refuse to give live watch ratings and audience numbers to a Show that is okay with verbally and mentally abusing young people for ratings and views. Which is funny cause they will cancel people's careers for just Bullying others in high school but openly show it on public tv and it's totally okay.... The difference is I choose not to subject myself to Bully School 101. I can watch the clips on YouTube and still support the hard work of the boys from there and with my votes.
