R U Next？

"Even though it's a bit late, I'm finally checking out RUNEXT! Watching their personalities and stories makes it even better; I can really understand the greatness and charm of the group, and it's so much fun! ✨"

The tweet translates to: "Sangwon has a vibe similar to Wonhee from RUNext, right? There were so many trainees with more talent, but he’s been popular just based on visuals. It's definitely a sure debut, so he shouldn't do anything else."

After looking back at RuNext, I once again think that Yongso is wrong. When it comes to the choice between doing a cute concept with ILLIT and a cool concept with a mixed-gender group, I feel that the former better showcases Yongso's strengths. I personally feel that the current group doesn't quite resonate with me, and I believe it's because the mixed-gender aspect is overshadowing their appeal.

Here’s the translation of the tweet text: "My server number life: SIXTEEN (TWICE) ⇒ Produce48 (IZ*ONE) ⇒ Nizi Project (NiziU) ⇒ Girls Planet 999 (Kep1er) ⇒ After School Tokimeki (CLASS:y) ⇒ Queendom 2 ⇒ RUNext (ILLIT) ⇒ Queendom Puzzle (EL7Z U+P) ⇒ ISLAND 2 (izuna) ⇒ Produce 101 Japan (ME:I) ⇒ Boys Planet 2 *Order might be a bit mixed up."

"Me? I was mentally destroyed by a garbage survival show called 'Are You Next?', but I'm happy now, so I'm spending a lot of money to stay true to my principles."

The tweet translates to: "The fun moments with #ILLIT's Minju and #izna's Jimin, who were together on R U Next? are great 😊 I'm really glad Jimin was able to debut 🎵 Also on the right, there's Chanel from FIFTY×2, who was together with us on AyuNek! What kind of world line is it with ILLIT and izna members getting hyped for #Hearts2Hearts? 😆⁉ The gathering of the 5th generation is seriously amazing~ 😇" (Note: The link at the end appears to be a URL and is not translated.)

The translation of the Japanese tweet is: "Sorry for being cute (Are you the next version?) That's fine too."
