On the second episode of the Mnet�audition program, Sakura Miyawaki had her evaluation stage. The trainers greatly looked forward to seeing her performance as she was named to be a strong candidate and a popular Japanese idol as she placed 3rd in the AKB48 general elections of 2018.





After Sakura's performance, the trainers gave her a lot of positive feedback. She was ultimately given an 'A' rank.�











Unfortunately, many netizens are unaccepting of the results. It's claimed the Japanese idol doesn't deserve the 'A' rank with her "inadequate skills". Some even compared her to former IOI�member Kim So Hye�and said, "So Hye received an F on her first evaluation. How did Sakura get an A with that??"





More comments stated, "The Korean contestants are A++++ if� Sakura gets an A with that. The standard is so low for this season compared to the previous seasons. And I feel like they are more lenient towards the Japanese contestants", "I was shocked because she sucked so much but wtf A?", "She wasn't that good. Didn't deserve that A at all..."
