>>83345137I think, and this is only my assumption, for JP it might be as the original "auditions" since let's admit it, there's like 2 JPs that aren't guys, and two of them are fans of the group. But for EN? I fear that the backlash, and whatever Zen tried to push, really they cut up the numbers of people who might have some sort of backlash for it (mainly and sadly friends of certain members) and really focusing in 2-3views with barely any connection to the group and actual potential.
I said it before, but there could be the possibility that in the future, they might get people that applied in this one, once the whole shitshow ends for actual scouting (which I still think it was the way they should have gone after the success that it was the Newcummers (2024) and Michi)
It's all up to whatever comes out, once phase 2 is done. So until then, this pic will represent us
