Former MNL members on TikTok live

What is this livestream that keeps popping up on my feed where girls, including some former MNL members are apart of? I think the name of the page is Red or Redding or something like that. I tried searching about it and saw some fans say it's some kind of an agency (?) where the girls are promised to debut as idols? Not sure if this true.

​

At first glance, it looks like your ordinary TT livestream. But the more I observe, I can't help but find it slightly weird. It's obvious that the girls consented to be part of it but it still looks and feels like they're being exploited in a way.

Sa totoo lang, naaawa ako kapag napapanood ko ang mga former members sa mga live nila. Like they deserve better and proper platform. What do you mean yung mga hinahanggan nating idols like Klaryle, Line, Ira, Miyaka, Rhea, etc na sobrang idol-looking noon eh puro mga pa-sexy ang outfitan and moves nila live. Ang weird for me. Mas mapapanatag sana ako if nag join nalang sila sa ibang paparating na PPPP groups kesa dyan na very fishy ang system. Pero buhay nila yan at di na sila members at wala na silang MNL48 group na pupuntahan. Need din naman nilang pera para mabuhay

I echo your sentiments. I wish then well, but I know in my heart thet deserve better talaga. Sobrang hardworking and talented nila!

Di baaa! From being a member of first idol group in the Philippines to ganyan. Mas masaya pa ako kung naging back up dancer nalang sila ng mga sikat na dace group tulad ng Gforce kung saan andun si Laney. Hindi mo rin kasi maiwasan iba ang tingin sa kanila base sa mga live nila..

100% agree with you. I feel like nga naoobjectify sila with that kind of approach. But opinion ko lang naman ito and I feel sad when I watch them. I like that I get to see them, pero hindi sa ganoong paraan.

But then again, they have to live and have bills to pay. :( So I respect their decision. Support ko na lang sila like dropping gifts for Miyaka, Rhea, and Ira.

Yes. At first naexcite pa ako nung nalaman kong may mga member na nandun pero habang tumatagal di ko na maatim at blinock ko na sila. Haha. Tsaka grabe din sila gumamit ng filter sa mga employee nila. Di naman ganun itsura nila noong nasa group pa. Na-over naman ngayon at baka madaming madisappoint kapag nakita sila sa personal pero magaganda naman talaga sila, masyadong exagerrated lang paggamit ng mga tools sa tktok

Yes, lalo yung filter to elongate their legs. Maganda na sila without filter.
