I can tell how introvert Hikaru is, him crying makes me cry too. He is so quiet, it must be hard for him to reach out first. I'm glad he have members who can understand him

K remembering RM’s wise words shows he’s totally in it for the artist growth, I’m moved🤘

Ma-ki felt hurt whenever Harua pushed him away and thought that he might don't like him .and felt sorry for doing things Harua don't feel comfortable with and thought it's something he need to work on. just how sensitive and soft he is 😭😭

Nobody's talking about how amazing it is, that they can switch to Japanese and to Korean effortlessly 🤧 Like they understand each other in Korean and in Japanese 💪🏻 Especially YUMA, he used Korean in a Japanese show rather than his mother tongue because his members are mostly Koreans. I stan these talented boys ✊🏻

Fuma and K are both SO considerate and born to be leaders, as well as aces on stage. Fighting for their debut.

Nobody is probably going to read this but I feel like Hayate doesn't get enough credit for how well he gets along with everyone and just fits in general. I think it was especially telling in the last two episodes and I found it really interesting that when they chose leaders K specifically brought up that quote from RM about being a quiet support when he nominated Hayate and everyone agreed. It reminds me so much of Jin or Hobi's role in BTS in that context. The fact that K felt strongly enough to mention that specifically, and said that cute comment about being certain he's known him before says to me K feels close to him and like he's someone he can lean on and trust. K feeling confident he could pass leadership on to him, and Hayate could handle it made me feel certain if Hayate were chosen K would have someone who may not be his same age but that he could still lean on if things got to be too much for him. While Hayate has an outgoing personality he's more introspective than he appears, often quietly contemplating things, and takes care of those around him well. You can tell he likes to boost people up (his praises for Nicho's leadership and Yuma's hosting an example) and watches out for the littles (I thought it was cute that while he was joking he kept telling everyone to be careful and not strain themselves). He was also one of the guys chosen the most by all of them when asked who they would want for a brother. He just has that fun reliable big brother energy (very Jin LOL). Watching through the show I've gained so much affection for him because of all these small qualities I think get looked over in him. It makes me kind of sad. Plus, he's talented af. I hope he makes it.

Looking back at how maki thought that harua didn’t like him and now they’re so close to each other , I’m so happy to see their friendship grow and become comfortable with each other❤️

hybe should just debut them all whether they fill the ridiculously large ring or not they all have such great chemistry and have worked so hard for this besides 15 isn't that bad of a number for a group i mean look at big groups like seventeen nct treasure and loona they have similar number of members and they are doing great

Why nobody is talking about Nicholas and EJ?? They are really amazing they improved so much too. And my guy Nicholas has been through a lot. Moving to another country studying Korean then waiting for 2 yrs now studying another language it must be so hard for him ;( anyway rooting for everyone!! OT15 ;)

MAKI is so cute...I wish HARUA and MAKI debut together. Their relationship is so precious.kawaii

i love how k mentioned rm's wise words. this just shows how much he wants to learn more and improve his leadership aspect. so proud of you! been rooting for you since i-land days, so i can't wait to see you debut!

Is this the healthiest environment and atmosphere I've ever seen on a idol competition show? 100%. All the trainees and mentors are respectful towards each other. There's only healthy competition, nothing toxic. Everyone's constantly helping each other grow. Their chemistry is perfect. Did I mention there's no evil editing? Cuz that's a first for me and I've watched a TON of these shows. This might just be my favorite idol show fr

When an introvert opens up himself to a group, applaud him. It's very hard for an introvert one to gout out of their comfort zone. ILY HIKARU😭🤧

Maki is so pure he wanted to be close with the members and play with them he cried so hard when he said harua doesn't like him. aww i want to protect him all the cost

woah yuma is so emotionally mature :o he recognized that he did something that may have hurt hikaru's feelings + apologizing is so hard to do and the fact that he did it in front of all of these new people and i'm so proud of him!

Why is no one talking about Ta-Ki’s random screams during the games. He is so hilarious( he’s an entertainment himself). Honestly he doesn’t get enough credit-he has so much energy and his personality is chefs kiss- his effort and hard work from island are truly showing. Fighting Ta-ki- fighting everyone

Fuma is also fit perfectly to be a leader honestly, he know that he's in a team full of korean members so he try his best to speak in korean for them since they're also younger than him... And he handle the two cutie maknae (minhyung and yejun) well too lol, just like their young age they're pretty energetic and childish, especially minhyung, he's full of energy during the games XD

"Gaku, thank you for being my son." I literally cried so hard after those words. As someone who's never experienced something like that from my parents before, I feel so happy at the same time a little bit jealous for Gaku. No wonder why he is such a kind person, it is because he was well-raised. And Maki too! He didn't do wrong but still apologized to Harua for making him uncomfortable. I hope they both get along despite their differences. They're so cute, I love them so much. I hope they debut. I hope everyone debuts. OT15 all the way!

I felt so sad and teary hearing Hikaru's words😢. Seeing how he was able to speak out his feelings even though it's hard for him, he must've felt comfortable enough around them. I'm glad they reached out to him first, because seeing how introverted he is, he'd probably just go silent even when he needs help.

K saying he loves green but still giving the green hoodie to minhyung is the cutest thing ever, he is such a kind person and I’m sad that in I-land they always made him appear as a bad person through the evil editing :( he is so precious

Don't sleep on Maki guys, he's such a great vocalist and has so much potential!! 🥰💗💗💗

MAKI definitely HAS TO be in DEBUT line up. He’s so precious I hope everyone sees that

Coming here after their debut and being a fan. Our maknae Maki is so cute and I can't believe the way the whole team has excellent chemistry. They all must debut. No joke. I can say that each one has his own fans.

개처슬프네...진짜 우리애들 데뷔까지 고생 너무 많았다ㅠㅠ

K is the best. He will always do whatever it takes for himself and his members to succeed. Great leadership skill.

I'm not one to cry but when Harua and Maki confessed and hugged I burst out. Not just those two, but everyone has to debut, fighting!

The opening line in the letter from K's mum is very beautiful. "Hanamizuki no hana ga sakihazime, anata ga genki ni hashitteita sugata wo omoidashi, mousugu tanoshi natsu ga kuru to ureshiku omou kyo konogoro." = Flowering dogwood starts to bloom. It reminds me of you energetically running back then. Soon the fun summer is coming, which makes me cheerful these days.

Maki and Harua are so adorable!!!!😺

ok but why is no one talking about hayate? like literally he is so entertaining

EJ is soooooooooooo sweet because most of the trainees are so comfortable with him. Lots of skinship with other trainees. I'm so proud of EJ and I love his personality so much. Fighting, EJ! Ganbette ne!!!

harua and maki are so cutee 😭😭 so happy both of them are in &team now

I was so proud of K at 36:58 😎😎 he really is an ace at everything including being the strongest one💪🏻 Wouldn’t expect anything less, he’s amazing

Ok. There are already two pairings that can't be separated. HayateYuma and GakuHarua. They have to debut together, it's the rules. idc. idc.

K nicely picking out all the members who are zoned out or smth and making them speak up especially Hikaru he really looked like he was thinking smth and wanted to say a lot

I- this episode made me laugh so much, especially Gaku, he's a true entertainer :D He has very bubbly personality and It brings happiness to just watch people like him... All together I feel like I want to see all the members of team Full Count debut.

New friendship has been discovered!!! Maki and Harua... protect this friendship at all cost!!! Huhu I hope they can both debut together! Fighting!

Fuma is honestly an ace. He can speak Japanese and Korean, he can dance, he can sing, he's funny and kind, what more could u want?

since many people aren’t talking about it the friendship between Gaku and Nicholas is super cute can’t wait to see more of them. who’s ready to sob next episode?!

I feel like when they debut K is going to be leader and I'm here for it i feel like he puts members on above of him he is such a leader material and he proved it in I-LAND and also in &audition also I wanted to say I rlly love K's and Ta-Ki's friendship I'm rlly looking forward their debut!

K has improved so much- not just skill and talent wise, but his personality as well! He is much more considerate and he makes it easy to put a smile on your face. K has become a True leader!! They have worked SUPER hard and this is a great opportunity for them, so I hope they can debut :) Fighting!

I cried a lot. Gaku and Yejun's family letters touch me so hard

I love how Yuma got a lot of screentime here Hybe please let Yuma debut. He’s really talented, he’s kindhearted, he has leadership, he can make choreographies, he can sing, he has a gorgeous visual. Such a perfect member in debut team 😭😭

Harua and Maki is such a cutie

Kくん緑好き！！って言った後に腕立て伏せ手伝ってくれたミニョンに緑が似合うからって景品あげるのナチュラルで素の優しさが滲み出てた、、、、

Fuma, gaku, and hayate we’re amazing choices for leaders! They seriously all deserve to debut, Can’t wait to see what they come up with!

I felt really glad when Maki and Harua sorted out their differences. I love how Maki felt sorry and somehow distant from Harua but he didn't hesitate saying that he was sorry and even though he didn't do anything wrong, he felt like apologizing. As for Harua, I think I relate to him as I don't like being touchy, but even despite that he gave Maki a hug to make him feel comfortable. This shows that how we can adapt to one another despite our difference if we communicate. I hope their bond grows much more stronger in future.

Watching this knowing that Harua and Maki got to debut together really hits me in the feels

I think team Wangwang had the best teamwork overall. My heart nearly exploded when K ate the lemons for Taki. He is truly an ace. Not only in his stage performance but in other activities as well.

K didn't forget what RM said about being a leader before in their last show. I love it.

I want Maki to debut so bad. Actually no. I WANT ALL OF THEM TO DEBUT. I'M GOING TO CRY MY EYES OUT IN THE FINAL EPISODE NOOOOO.

I didn't planned on crying but the hug between Maki and Harua was too cute I couldn't help it 😭💓

Gaku is so unintentionally funny, I love it.. I hope Gaku and Maki make the final cut..

K: "RM de BTS una vez dijo que un líder no es alguien que sólo lidera de frente, sino que es alguien que apoya desde atrás" BASTA ESTOY LLORANDO, RECORDÓ LAS PALABRAS QUE DIJO RM EN ILAND

I hope that Hayate, Gaku, Maki, Fuma, Hikaru, Yuma, Harua and JO will be able to make their debut together with K, EJ, Taki and Nicho 😭

この頃はあまりYUMA君に注目してなくて、でも今のYUMA君は自分を殴りたくなる位全てが魅力的だと注目してる。特に人のことを自分のことのように喜ぶのが印象的で、今オーディションを見返してるとHIKARU君に「わからない事あったら聞いてね」って声かけるのとか勘が良くて気軽にすっと優し声がけしてて素晴らしかった。

no matter how many times i watch this episode, them reading their families’ letters always makes me cry. i love all of them so much. i hope both &team and the members who couldn’t debut become very successful in the future. sending much love always!!!

EJ is needed for the team. I noticed he comforts and makes the others feel safe.

I really hope they all make it to debut, especially the boys from I-LAND. They've worked so hard! We can do it! Fighting! 💜

見返し中…涙涙涙…親目線で余計に泣ける。本人達はもちろんだけど、送り出す方も大きな決断だよね。

댓글들 다 울고있길래 띠용이었는데 끝까지 다 보고나서 나도 콧물 한바가지 쏟음,,,,,,,

14:38 Hikaru went from being so camera shy that he couldn't look at it directly; which made him awkward. To being comfortable that he's showing us this side of him. I love how we see him and all the members grow and get closer to each other. I also didn't expect him to be a great entertainer, he's funny and knows how to joke around. He is that type of person that just watches from the sidelines, but if you give him the spotlight, he won't disappoint. Excited for the next episode❣️❣️❣️

Maki and Hikaru are such soft bois🥹🥹🥹they had me crying with them because I too deal with similar issues of thinking people don’t like me because of how touchy feely I am.🥹💕I felt so sad for the boys. Hopefully it will all be worth it and they get to debut together.✨✨✨

it's been more than a year and i still sob when hikaru tells the story during the fire. every single time, my heart breaks for him :( i'm introverted too so i totally get how he was feeling. excited to know him and gaku are soon debuting in another group under hybe japan!

26:46 Maki is cracking me up 😭🤣🤣 he’s so cute and funny at the same time 🤣🤣

Man that last scene of them expressing their feelings was really heartwarming.....you can really tell how introverted and reserved Hikaru is.... it must've been so lonely for him....and maki is also someone i can relate to because when I too like someone I tend to be touchy with them alot too..so i tend to think that they might not like me either .....but you can also get harua's side too...it was a very tender moment &AUDITION FIGHTING

As an introvert I can feel Hikaru. So I think that's why I like him from the start. I can relate with him. When he cried I also couldn't control my tears😭. Hwaiting Hikaru! I'm rooting for you❤

K will always have my heart 🤍 he's competitive yet very thoughtful and the boiii knows how to have fun!

Is it just me or Nicholas does look like Hwang In Yeop (actor) and V (bts) at the same time or sometimes 🤣 so cute 🥺

Really love Hayate's sense of humor. I really hope he debuts

bro huge respect to EJ. I'm a Japanese boy and listening to his japanese makes me so happy cos he improved so much and he is the best non-japanese to speak japanese. Its so cool and i can feel his effort on not just training his "idol skills" like singing, but also always tries to speak japanese whenever he can.

Nicholas is the best, talk more about him, His visuals, his vocals and dancing everything on point ❤️

HIKARU IS LITERALLY SO PRECIOUS I'M CRYING! MAKI AND HARUA TOO :( I love the way Gaku and Nicholas interact ahh and the way yejun randomly goes :0 sometimes! Fuma is truly charismatic, And I'm so proud of our i-land boys too

I really hope that Hikaru will debut with the debut members. I think that he's a gem and a hardworker with unique talents and princely vibes. He would really add to any group that he's in. He's also sensitive and appreciative of his fellow team members. K seems to be very fond of Hikaru and is always trying to include him and hype him up. Taki also seems to like Hikaru as they were on the same team and worked well together. I can't wait for more episodes and to see all the members grow and run towards their dreams.

i would like to thank K as he was so thoughtful about Hikaru's thoughts and feelings. it is obvious how he keeps it only to himself, glad he had the chance to speak for it. im very proud to support these 15 boys. we love you 🤍

HARUA MAKI WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO CUTE😂😂😂

hikaru is just so adorable and he deserves the world and he has the best members they deserve everything too 🫶

Aww I loved that Nicholas told Gaku he loves him and hugged him :') I liked that he did it in secret and not publicly tell his feelings at the fire, its more special that way :')

I didn't realise that Maki and Harua had this kind of differences. I cried because of they told and when they made peace hugging each other. I was so soft for that. I wish seeing them together now!

우리 케이는 못하는게 하나도 없네 항상 응원해 곧 데뷔해서 케이의 멋진 모습 볼수있길 기도할께 데뷔 늦어지면 하...진짜..가만히 안둔다 하이브..엄마 편지 보면서 케이 우는 모습보니까 아이랜드때 생각나서 또 화딱지가 남..언제까지 엄마편지 보면서 울게 만들꺼야???? 이제 빨리 데뷔시켜줘라 쫌!!

58:27 While I was watching the scene i was like Gaku. I laughed, found Maki is cute but felt his feelings too he's so pure he's the cutest boy

K has a strong charisma, I can't stop looking at him

When they read the letter from their families I started crying for Nicholas; even before I land, he moved to a different country, learned a new language and culture, had a hard time on the show, then he decided to stay there hoping for his debut in the future, had a bunch of ups and downs with the future group (even losing a member), worried if they would even make it, and now another survival show. My boy, he must really miss his family🤍 I really cannot wait for his debut and all his hard work to pay off🤍 Also, it was really nice seeing everyone have fun through the day and talking about their feelings. These boys are very special. Gambare!!!

Hikaru is me. I am Hikaru. We are the same. We are one. Just debut can you? Also... Anyone noticed the difference between Mnet and Hybe editing skill? It is way more peaceful watching The howling & Audition than I-Land (or any other competition they did). I honestly doesn't get any panic attack or anxiety this time.

Dropkickで注目して今オーディション番組を見てます！MAKIとhARUA可愛い！！

Maki is so cute! Not only cute, but he can also dance and sing. I think I'm gonna be a fan of this kid. 😅 Harua and Maki are so cute! Their love and hate relationships are so adorable. I thought it was so serious but then, in the end, it's just that they have different personalities. But I think they will get along well soon. 🥰

Every single episode, Fuma impresses me. I wasn't rooting for anyone in particular probably except K cuz that boy has so much talent to not be on stage. But Fuma seems so hardworking, mature, ready to learn and give his all. Someone you would always want in your team, a very active and agile member. I hope he gets to debut. I really like Gaku and Hayate too 🥺

Maki and Harua made me cry they're so cute and I'm glad they both talked about it so no one feels hurt. Maki is such a big baby he's so cute

Team K all day. I cried when he didn’t debut and I promised to wait until he makes it. Fighting to our all rounder K. You got this. Let début

Fuma the best leader. Really wishing for Fuma debut. Fighting

10:13, K quote-ing what RM said really showed how much he learned, grew, and improved from I-Land. This is what an idol should be. I'm excited to see different sides from you K! Fighting!!

마키 왤케 귀얍냨ㅋㅋ

This episode is going to be that retreat part. We will laugh because of their playful sides and enjoy every laughters and smiles they will have. And later on, the emotional part will take place. I think this is going to be that episode that has no official performances for the third mission yet. This is that episode that will make us feel more connected with them emotionally. Again, the retreat that will bring us both laughters and tears. The story that will introduce them to us beyond the stage. And I can't wait to know and love them more.

It's so heartwarming to see how close the members have gotten over the past two months. The relationships between Hikaru & Yuma, Hayate & K, and Harua & Taki are especially touching to see. Let's all debut together! Fighting! 💜

I still can't get over the fact that they ate lemons for nothing 😭😂 MakiHarua moment was adorable. Glad they got that cleared up because keeping those feelings in would affect them badly later. I couldn't help laughing cos it got more and more awkward and cuter as they spoke lol.😂💖 K seems to know a lot of tea though. He pinpointed exactly who had things to say.😂

Being introvert is hard sometimes. Hikaru is quiet and can't express himself well(but I'm not sure ofc). I can understand from his eyes how it was hard for him to be alone. His crying made my heart upset, he's so precious. I hope he feels better.

I am proud of you Hikaru, for speaking about your feelings and I am also proud of all the boys they encouraged him a lot. I am so proud of Yuma for apologizing and working so hard to debut with everyone. Honesty is the best trait for a person. I feel like all the boys are being honest with each other. I am also proud of K for gathering and encouraging everyone to talk. K,you did amazing. Not just as a older brother for them, but as a friend for them.

not a popular opinion but FUMA makes me jittery - super attractive, I cannot breathe because of his dazzling yet sweet masculinity very appealing to me. that's all. thank you.

Yuma is mature. &Team is so lucky to have him in the groupe.

21:34 minhyung shaking Jungwon’s clothes to get the dirt away is so cute :’)

I want to see more of Junwon and Yejun.. I guess because they're not fluent in Japanese, they didn't talk so much but I'm pretty sure they are actually quite talkative themselves.. Hope they will get more screentime.
