Every week the craze of the new South Korean girl group reality competition is hyped up and the same can be witnessed again in the R U Next Episode 3 reactions (알유넥스트) on Twitter. Netizens are flaring up the SNS platform with their takes on the novel performances delivered on July 14, 2023, for this joint venture between entertainment companies JTBC and HYBE Corporation.
The tweets are particularly served with hot takes today because the third episode has also made way for the first elimination of the show, bidding farewell to a young trainee. With the ultimate goal of debuting as members of the new HYBE Labels’ K-pop girl group alongside fellow label mates – LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans – the trainees are eager to be chosen as the finalists of the music survival show.
With many performances laid out on the stage today, it was possibly the elimination of Yuisa that got netizens fuming. Passively engaging in the discussion, they called out the show-runners for cutting her journey short on the show despite her being better than quite a few other contestants in the race.
On the other hand, love for Jihyun stayed high, while Jiwoo fans significantly emphasised upon her being underrated and urging fellow show watchers to vote for her. Some strong responses against Iris’ indifferent behaviour were also spotted on Twitter. Many users even took into account how some trainees participating in the show are minors, and have so questioned the song choices for their performances, deeming them (like CHUNGHA’s Dream of You) inappropriate for the girls.
Many viewers are even counting on Youngseo’s eventual debut, considering how her popularity is sky-rocketing with every episode as she’s become one of the most voted for trainees on the R U Next HYBE series. Quite a few replies like “She’s Def gonna debut I can feel it” were left under many tweets quoting her name. Meanwhile, Funa also took another spot as one of the fan-favourites.
The contestants came out on the floor with many scene-stealing performances in the latest episode. Songs covered by them included ENHYPEN’s Given-Taken, Dream of You, NewJeans’ Attention and more.
