Pics: Vids:Debut MV, Dream Girls.
Crush was a song the top 22 performed in the finals. A backstage sort of "MV" was released as a treat to the fans a few days after the show, re-recorded with the top 11.
This is actually the second version. The first one had a lot more Yeonjung (#11) and a lot less Yoojung (#3) among other things, so people complained, coz that's what people do. Guess it's more balanced now, even if they went a little crazy with editing Yeonjung almost completely out.

Produce 101 was one of my favorite idol-related things in a long time. On top of that, most of my favorites during the show made it into the final group. The show was a huge success and produced a highly visual and competent girl group. Two great vocals and several good ones, some great dancers, a couple of decent rappers, some weirdos, a ton of different personalities... it's all there. The only real bummer is that this isn't permanent, but at least it's a taste of the future girlgroups from various agencies.
The girls recently moved into a dorm and are now filming another reality show while preparing for the May debut with a new song. They're also busy with filming a constant stream of commercials etc. so there should be new stuff rolling in soon again.
