The new group released a pre-debut single titled “SeVit” following the announcement.

Netizens have shared their concern over the group’s line-up, especially Kaylee’s young age. As with all survival-type shows, fans have expressed their wish for some contestants to have made the group.

One contestant who stood out to many was Gina De Bosschere, a 14-year-old Korean-French JYPE trainee. She made it to the final episode, where she was not selected to be in the group.

Before the group’s song was released after the final episode, Gina De Bosschere launched a YouTube channel, releasing her first single. Titled “Freedom,” many fans have interpreted the song as a message about her departure from A2K, seeing it as a “diss track” or “clap back” of sorts.

While many fans were excited over the release, spreading it online…

…others were not impressed by the track, saying it did not sound well-made.

Regardless of netizens’ feelings on the track, it is good to see the trainee taking steps to further her career despite not making it into the group. As of writing, Gina has over 250 thousand views on “Freedom.”
