Didn't choose Emily because the fans of the show where only picking "diverse" girls. Meaning.. they didn't want the talented white girl to get a part. She has the best facial expressions and by far the best in dancing and nailing the tasks they gave her. It's pathetic really. Ezrella deserved a spot instead of Lara but atleast Sophia got in.

I'm confused by the comments. People are suprised that a global girl group has members from different countries? So they're not going to be a K-pop girl group. And that their looks aren't based on Korea's beauty standard since only one is from Korea?
