Seeing the list, netizens commented,
"Apparently it's the same thing as 'Produce', they just changed the name and are acting like nothing happened..."
"I thought Hueningkai's sister would go on 'I-Land' season 2."
"Can they please just get rid of survival shows already."
"Can they just properly promote Cherry Bullet..."
"Just because there's a different main PD this time around, that doesn't mean they won't try anything fishy again. It's Mnet..."
"Doah is going on again TT."
"I'm sick of this already."
"The only way to get Mnet to stop doing these rigged shows is if no one buys it, but that just won't happen will it..."
"Does Cube have no self-respect? They let Chowon go through all of that and they're still sending out one of their idols on it?"
"Hueningkai's younger sister is trying to debut as an idol too now... I heard his older sister debuted as an idol once too."
And more. What do you think of the suspected list?
I respect the CLC girls’ decision to participate in this show. It’s like what the Nu’est boys did in Produce 101 last time. If your company doesn’t acknowledge you, show them what they’re missing. At this point this show seems like their last hope. Cube are acting as if CLC is non existent like who tf does that???
