* SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: Rima, Mako and Miihi are complimented on their fluent Korean during their audition. Justified considering they were trainees under JYP, a Korean label, prior to the show. Rima is also quite skilled in English. Subverted for Mei, whose Japanese is very good despite never living in Japan.

** Many of the auditions served as this, most notably [[AWildRapperAppears Rima's]], [[{{Adorkable}} Suzu's]], [[BadassAdorable Riku's]], [[GenkiGirl Erina's]] and [[SugarAndIcePersonality Rio's]].

* BilingualDialogue: For the multilingual contestants, this is very common when speaking with JYP. For those who only know Japanese, it only seems like this because interaction with the translators doesn't appear on screen during this.

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Since the auditions took place anywhere from 1-3 months before the training in Part One began, some hairstyles and colors have changed, most notably Mako's. After the six month training between Part One's finale and Part Two's pilot, there are plenty of notable changes there as well.

** When the PowerTrio of Mako, Miihi and Rima are introduced, Mako is established as the CoolBigSis.

** Akari's evaluation, when it was revealed that [[spoiler:she was hospitalized shortly after the initial audition, and had only recently recovered. She had been advised not to continue with the training due to her illness, but [[PluckyGirl she refused to give up this chance over it]]]].

Added DiffLines:

* TheAce: Mako is widely considered this, though Miihi, Rima, and even Nina qualify as well.


Added DiffLines:

* ButNotTooForeign: Nina and Mei are both half-American, and Yuna is half-Korean.
* CallBack: Most of the performances and audition songs are from senior JYP artists, or even from JYP himself. Justified given that his company owns the rights to these songs and doesn't have to worry about any royalty fees.


Added DiffLines:

* CripplingOverspecialization: Rio, who was a dancer prior to the show. JYP comments that her dancer background proves to be a disadvantage for the pop idol-specific performances. [[spoiler:Eventually averted as she takes his advice as well as the advice of the other contestants to become an outstanding idol dancer. She even blows JYP away with her drastic improvement in vocal ability.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ExecutiveMeddling: Many contestants are given more or less screen time to skew the audience in favor of certain contestants. The four JYP trainees (Mako, Miihi, Rima and Yuna) along with Nina are consistently given very large amounts of screentime, while even skilled trainees like [[spoiler:Suzu, who was skilled enough to receive 5th place in both vocal and dance evaluations]] notably received very little screentime in comparison.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Since the auditions took place anywhere from 1-3 months before the training in Part One began, some hairstyles and colors have changed, most notably Mako's. After the six month training between Part One's finale and Part Two's pilot, there are plenty of notable changes there as well.

Added DiffLines:

* AscendedFangirl: Most of the contestants qualify as this, having little to no professional training, but being inspired by other idols enough to want to become one. Many of the girls claim to be very big fans of Music/{{Twice}} and Music/{{GOT7}}, two very successful groups under JYP Entertainment.
* BilingualDialogue: For the multilingual contestants, this is very common when speaking with JYP. For those who only know Japanese, it only seems like this because interaction with the translators doesn't appear on screen during this.


Added DiffLines:

* FunWithSubtitles: Most shows of this variety include subtitles, but this proves especially useful given how JYP switches back and forth between his limited Japanese, fluent English and native Korean.


Added DiffLines:

* InelegantBlubbering: Expect this after a low ranking or upon receiving devastating criticism.


Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor: Undoubtedly of Series/SixteenKorea, although much more evident in Part Two. They're both survival reality programs creating JYP girl groups, so it was inevitable.


Added DiffLines:

* TeamDad: JYP.

* BrutalHonesty: Downplayed. JYP doesn't hold back with his criticism, but he doesn't hold back with his praise or constructive advice, either.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each section of the Nizi Cube pendant, representing the components of a successful idol according to JYP, receives its own color. Gold is for dance, green is for vocals, red is for star quality, and blue is for personality.



* TeenIdol: The oldest trainee on the show was born in 2001, making them all under the age of 18.

to:

* IdolSinger: The contestants are competing in hopes of becoming this.
* PowerTrio: Rima, Mako and Miihi, who trained together prior to the program, and are regarded as some of the most skilled contestants.
* SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: Rima, Mako and Miihi are complimented on their fluent Korean during their audition. Justified considering they were trainees under JYP, a Korean label, prior to the show. Rima is also quite skilled in English. Subverted for Mei Plunkett, whose Japanese is very good despite never living in Japan.
* TeenIdol: The oldest trainee on the show was born in 2001, making them all under the age of 18.19 during filming.

* [=ConfessionCam=]: Both the trainees and JYP himself get time in these.
* [=DramaticPause=]: Unsurprisingly for this type of show, this is used quite a bit. Especially effective since JYP's facial expressions can be deceiving.
