    stayc now: gained popularity, a million seller group, received different major awards, 13 music show wins and continues to make bops and great music
  • @sanchiaguilar84
    No wonder their debut song (So Bad) is my favorite debut song in 2020, Black Eyed Pilseung is such an amazing producer.

    9:27 Wow that is actually so sad. He’s 32 years old and fans literally get pressed he has a girlfriend? ……
  • @ShredPhred
    This series is very honest and highlights how toxic the kpop industry is. Also shows how much power the fans have in making and breaking the careers of these hopefuls.

    My love for STAYC went from 100% to 200% My love for Isa went from 500% to 1000%

    Watching this again after seeing STAYC get their first win and its crazy to see how far they’ve come!! They only get better and better with every comeback and I can’t see what they have in store for us in the future :)

    I'm glad they had Amber in this documentary, she knows serious sh*t in kpop.

    13:00 Trainee Jang Yeeun has never tried a diet. One year later, STAYC's J sings 'SO WHAT'. "It's okay to gain a little weight. Weight is just a number."
  • @kissumomo250
    I really love what Yeeun (Ha:tfelt) said on this episode. "For Kpop artists, I want to love themselves a bit more and voice their opinions a bit louder. As for agencies, I wish they would treat their artists more humanely. For fans and the public, I want to think more about the basic rights to happiness of the artists they love. Idols are people too, to put it simply." That hit differently. I hope the whole series would change the way fans view their idols. They all go through to so much and honestly they all deserve happiness.
  • @delphium
    Now I’m imagining if Lydia could’ve joined STAYC if not for the travel restrictions. Poor girl
  • @redypajero
    "I want them to be legendary." - Black Eyed Pilseung's Rado That gives me a goosebumps. They are indeed one of the most legendary gg to ever debut in kpop industry to this date. I'm just simply happy for Sumin, Seeun, Sieun, J, Yoon, and Isa they're get to debut as STAYC

    재이 진짜 예쁘다 긴머리 무슨 동화에나오는 공주같음 무대만보다가 봐서 목소리가 달라서 다른애인줄 이때 애기그자체ㅠㅠ
  • @dafunkk
    I hope someday idols can date openly and fans wouldn't feel hurt about it, it means fans are attracted by their music, talent, or visuals not just buying a fantasy.

    "한승연: 그 나머지 회사랑 사이에서 생기는 일들은 확실히 양보해야 할 때와 싸울 때를 잘 구분해야 될 것 같아요. 어쨌든 데뷔를 시켜주고 일을 시켜주는 건 회사기 때문에, (하지만) 또 그렇게 건강을 망치면서, 인격적인 대우를 못받음에도 불구하고 접고 들어갈 필요는 없다고 생각하거든요. 싸워야 할 땐 싸워라."

    진짜 블아필 말대로 엄청난 애들이 나왔다 근래들어 신인이 이렇게 눈에 띄는건 처음인거같음 ㄹㅇ 알찬 구성임 어떻게 이렇게 멤버를 뽑았나 싶을정도로 개잘뽑음 하나같이 다 고급지고 너무 예뻐 어떡해ㅠ 신인답지않게 포스있는데 또 풋풋해 하
  • seeun is soo gorgeous! her body is body goals and she has a pretty face, yet she still felt insecure about it. this just shows how toxic the industry is, they’re forced to be “perfect” while being a human...
  • For those who think that K-Pop idols are your property/possession, FIGHT me. They are people who deserve all the love and respect for their talent and performances that they put out.
  • @NoctLightCloud
    I can't believe it! I've been listening to StayC "Bad" for months now but never looked into the members or what they look like. And at the end of this video, when they revealed who these girls are, my jaw dropped. I really liked the girls and planned to check them out after watching this video, but the reveal in the end made me realize I've already checked them out! Nice! StayC fighting!!
  • @mehere2007
    It's so sad that instead of their songs, the idols themselves are considered as products. They are humans, not products :(
  • @wh6830
    Omg J was a complete baby in this documentary 🥺 this was filmed in 2019 so she was probably only 14 here. She was soo shy and timid here. J has improved soooo so much and now she’s the powerful rapper we know of today. Super proud of the girls!
