Numerous survival shows have been announced recently, all to debut the next big group. Time Turner has been the most controversial of the ones announced for various reasons.
Time Turner was introduced with an interesting premise, claiming that the members would be decided through global voting as the show aired on TikTok.
Time Turner plans to search for a new generation of global entertainers. The audition will take place in an area of space-time known as P-134, somewhere with infinite potential and where dreams come true through time travel. The winners will debut as Time Turners who journey through time while creating music and art.

The show was called out for looking “cheap” and other reasons, such as allegedly being rigged.
The show’s final aired on November 22, and the group’s five members were announced. Lea Navvab Huening, the older sister of TXT’s Huening Kai and Kep1er‘s Huening Baiyyih…
…Cleo…
…Sim Yerin…
…Lu Yuting…
…and Kelly Kim were all announced as members.
However, many viewers have shared their issues with the show’s top pick, Kelly Kim. Fans usually debate placements on survival shows, but a show’s number one pick is typically not one that viewers believe should not be in the group at all.
Viewers of Time Turner have expressed this sentiment towards Kelly Kim, providing clips of her “poor” performances, referring to her as a “dozen,” a slang term meant to mean the individual is not talented i.e doesn’t sing, doesn’t dance.

While some of the hate can be considered sexist in nature, many were disappointed by her inclusion in the group due to her skills.

At least 4 out of 5 are good. Kelly Kim would have to do a complete 180 transformation and be the hardest worker I’ve ever seen, for me to change my mind about her https://t.co/IRzQ5gFcoZ
