The Feel-Good Part
Unlike most reality shows, this show is not focused on eliminations until the final episode. Instead, they focus mainly on training and efforts to make it successful. It is full of suspense till the end. The show is entertaining as the girls struggle to make their way in the girl group, and most of them end up being equally good as TWICE and IZ*ONE. They had similar talents and charisma.
The Disappointing Factor
As JYP is the host and plays a vital role in the show, some comments and judgments seemed harsh despite the excellent performances.

The show included a global audition held in 10 different locations, eight cities in Japan and the other two in Hawaii and LA. The winners of season 1 participated in season 2 and later in season 3. The group initially included 26 total members. The 14 members already chosen will get training in JYP in Korea for six months. After that, JYP will determine the last 9 members that will be in the final JYP Entertainment girl group.
