Reading down these review had my laughing. U keep saying that its racist for not adding an Asian male lead. What is so wrong about have the kpop being represented by females. Megan Lee is a kpop singer, and a female just because mostly males preform kpop doesn't mean that three strong females preforming kpop is unheard of. Also, the show is aimed to young kids 8-12 years old. You older kids don't have to like it, it's not a show for you. When you were 10 or 12 there was Sam and cat, drake and josh, icarly etc. You like them because you could relate to it and still had cheesy jokes and ridiculously shallow charters sometimes. Not that those shows weren't awesome I loved them but I'm just saying that at the time the older kids probably thought it suck just like you do about make it pop and probably other shows.And if you watched season 2 the were as a in male lead so I don't believe your "there all racist" claim to be correct in any way, shape, or form. I'm 15 years old and I love this show with my heart... You don't have to love it like I do but you shouldn't make big deals about something that is nothing or a small thing that if the actors do feel offended by it, its probably smaller than you think. BTW I'm look forward to season 3 hope they renew it.

Absolutely horrendous. The acting was sub-par and even though this is inspired by K-Pop, the bigoted producer said that he absolutely refused to put Asian males in this show. This is sending a message of self-hate and white male supremacy. This modern era of shows on Nickelodeon, they are a far cry from the old days of Nickelodeon embracing diversity, now they are planning on giving messages of preferred treatment and favoritism to the children and pre-teenagers of the United States of America. I shudder to think what would happen if the children absorb the messages and start to apply racist stereotypes based on this bigoted media.

I was originally drawn to the show due to its being advertised as relating to K-Pop. After beginning watching it, I soon realized the only relation it has to K-Pop is the foundation of the show (albeit a very tiny foundation) and the source of around 3 posters in the three girls' bedroom. This I decided to accept with disappointment, and trudged on in giving the show a chance.I only managed to watch the first season, because I couldn't bear to continue the atrocity. To begin with, the main character, Sun Hi, is a rude, self-absorbed, absolutely unintelligent girl. I understand this is a tween show, but none of the tween shows I grew up with, such as Zoey 101, iCarly, and Victorious had such terrible role models as their main characters. Corki and Jodi are great, but Sun Hi's treatment of them is fueled by her constant need to shine and be the star of the show. This brings out Sun Hi as a terrible model of a friend. My own mother criticized my admiration of Carly from iCarly thinking she was obnoxious. Carly is an angel compared to Sun Hi's character.I gave the dialogue and acting some leeway considering it's a tween show following in the footsteps of iCarly and Victorious. I also understand that in one season, character development is not something to be hoping for, but to be fair, iCarly and Victorious were much less disastrous. I'm all for girl power, it's not a bad thing. But the estrogen and female hierarchy is overpowering in this show. Half of it is the three main girls competing with the senior cheer squad. There are two prominent male characters, but they're both so minor and operate as clowns for laughs. They don't have to be Asian (although that would certainly help the racism prominent in the US), but the male roles should, forgive me for a lack of better words, have a bigger role in the show. Lastly, I'll admit, the songs are catchy and pretty good. And the choreography is also reasonable and acceptable. This is why I gave the show 4 stars, and not 1 or 2.In conclusion, although the show has a select few positive attributes, it serves as a horrible model for teenagers, and has more than a few things to be fixed or at least alleviated.

Short answer: no. The K-pop culture differs immensely to what it is shown to be in the show. Why would Nickelodeon would make a show select people would want to watch? The thing is, this show wouldn't appeal to people who are already heavily into the K-pop culture but would rather introduce people to K-pop. But there is another ulterior motive, which is to satisfy the producer's idea of a WMAF dominated society. There was some news that flew by not long ago when a suggestion about Asian men in the show was laughed off by the racist producer, and he was mocked when it was suggested by the producer that even if there were Asian men, they were to be a joke character equivalent to Oppa Gangnam Style.Nowhere in ticklegear's review was it mentioned that white men in the show were the problem, but another review suggested otherwise. The ignorance of this user is beyond words and they pretend that issues that do not concern them do not exist. What ticklegear really meant to say was the show misrepresents the K-pop culture. The problem here is not that there is a white male in the show. The problem is that Asian males are again, not represented at all in a culture where 50% of the K-pop bands are male. Obviously when ticklegear said Asians, they did not mean the females. They are already represented in the show. Before commenting on another reviewer's review, it would be wise to do research. The producer is in fact, racist.Asian women are again, hypersexualised, and the show is there to satisfy the producers fantasy of a WMAF dominated society. As a last note, Leah, I suggest you do not downplay real issues people face.This show does not represent K-pop culture in any way, which is vastly different to what it is shown to be in.
