!!Tropes appearing in Produce 101:

* BrutalHonesty: The teachers did ''not'' pull any punches in their evaluations of the girls. However, it's only because the teachers wanted the girls to perform to their best, and for every time they scolded a trainee, every one of them had at least one HiddenHeartOfGold moment at another point in the series.

* DramaticPause: The ranking announcements used these quite liberally.

* TeamDad: Jang Keun-Suk

* FishOutOfWater: The YGK+ models, especially Kwon Hyun-Bin, who had no prior training in singing, rapping or dancing.
