Overall this is a great lineup but I cannot shake the feeling that Jiwoo was only denied because of age. I got 4 out of my last TOP 6 including best girl (YOUNGSEO DEBUTATION) but I still am really sad and angry about this one exclusion of Jiwoo. It isn't simply that I didn't get all my picks, it's the fact that it genuinely feels like there is nothing Jiwoo could have done differently.
She was a stellar performer, the best vocalist on the show, and consistently led those around her and helped everyone she could. She has super strong visuals by traditional Korean beauty standards, and is very charismatic when performing. If she was 4 years younger she gets in, and that's why this one feels particularly bad. I obviously can't be mad at Wonhee, she did nothing wrong, and she showed fast improvement over the show. But I despise the producers and A&R people who put so many trainees on this show with not even a SINGLE MONTH of training at the company.
