It's so interesting to see how the whole idol training works and how a grouo is formed. Simon really has a vision and I like hearing how he explains it. It's a harsh industry so it's hard watching these young girls some even as young as 11 crying and having to go through this but jts inspiring watching them fight through it and it really proves who has the determination to make it and not. He does seem heartless sometimes but I think that's how he had to he to prepare them for the Industry but also to stay biased and fair. No coddling. Ugh seeing the one girl not get picked for a team... man that hurt 😞. Also the one girl we see featured a bunch named Hikaru is supposed to be joining XG when her time with Kep1er ends. Probably why they show her interviews in here as well. I wonder how many of these trainees he keeps in the company after forming XG to be in future groups bc I can't imagine he would cut all of them lose after training them for 2 years just bc he could only put so many in his first group. Can't wait for the next episode.
