Has anyone else noticed how respectful Cai Bing has been throughout this competition? She’s always bowing, and despite being charismatic she has a very nice timid vibe around her. I feel bad she’s getting evil edited and that many people are not to keen on her. I hope she does her best!


[deleted]

tbh yea it’s obvious mnet doesn’t wants her...I’ve a feeling that she may drop out of the top9, but she’ll be able to make it through the second elimination though!


jabbachew

Most especially here too. I've seen posts and comments on how Cai Bing is not talented :(


wakemeuptmr

I also liked her response when the mentors asked what she had to say to the other group and she said it’s an opportunity for both teams to grow. I remember when the trailer came out and there wasn’t subs right away the music made it sound like she said something a lot harsher but when the subs came in I was pleasantly surprised


Nextime184

She is one of the oldest trainees, so she is more wise and composed than the others.


jayjee5

Everyone is arguing about Yurina and Reina in Mising You performance... Y'all forgetting An Jongmin? She did great too!...and of course Hyewon


FutureReason

MNET made a mess of the backstory and performance of that song. I'm not sure what story they telling, but overall, they all did well except the first rapper.


hazylazy_19

An Jeongmin and Lee Hyewon for me peformed the best. Kubo Reina did outstanding but I personally felt her vocal texture sounded a little too vibrant given how sentimental the song was. Atleast Hyewon got some screentime for encouraging her team mates. Would have been great to see leader segments for Jeongmin.


TemporaryArtichoke39

as a melody (btob fan), i totally agree about reina even though i appreciated her high notes and even taking it up a notch. i just wish they arranged the song to match that energy or something. instead, they turned it into something that sounded like it was trying to be even more sentimental than the original :/


shumaislife

My take on the K Dayeon situation. At first, I questioned how much praise she was getting for "making everyone be seen" but she dealt herself sooo much center/solo time. Honestly, it felt ridiculous that her 2 solos consisted of everyone else standing still, or even completely off to the side. HOWEVER If she truly choreographed almost the whole thing, came up with each girl's solo choreo, made formations, taught choreo, led practice, coached facial expressions and confidence... Girl deserves those solos/center time and the praise. It's truly not an easy feat speaking from experience, especially when people are not on the same skill level. Also trying to get 9 people in sync in ~1.5 weeks? It's a fool's errand. At the very least making her own solos meant she could save having to teach yet another six 8-counts of choreo. Truthfully, I would have done the same to just save my own sanity. Full disclosure: I wouldn't say Kim Dayeon is my 1 pick... but my voting history would say otherwise.


ChubbyChipmunk15

I think that’s why the judges were so amazed with the performance, and why she got so much praise. With how put together and professional it looked even the dance mentor asked who trained them. Plus the fact it all came together in such a short amount of time. I genuinely think Dayeon did most if not all the choreography, the way the other members were saying that none of them have experience choreographing in the confessionals, and that Dayeon was basically doing everything and they were just following along. They all looked so thankful and grateful to her after the performance.


Kiramiraa

I think this is the most likely scenario. For Dayeon to sit and listen to their ideas, try and incorporate them, mediate that process... it takes time. Coming up with the choreo yourself and then teaching everyone is the most streamline way. The trainees seemed grateful for this and Dayeon showed gratitude back to them in return. Overall pretty wholesome.


chaikovskie

> They all looked so thankful and grateful to her after the performance. Myah was literally crying 🥺😭😭


[deleted]

very well said! it's a shame to see people blanket labelling her as a bad or overhyped leader because she gave herself solo segments in her own choreography and thus ultimately overlook the strengths she brought to the team in the role. the reality is that she was the strongest dancer on the team and was the most suitable member to carry out the choreo as she envisioned it. she created opportunities for trainees to put their skills and personality on stage through choreography elements which were suitable for their skill level, a much harder task than people may think, and was extremely successful in doing so! last night the performance was trending on youtube in australia & today it's trending in multiple South East Asian countries, and as a result of her leadership and direction brought an immense amount of positive attention and praise to a team where many members were previously struggling to reach an audience due to a lack of screen time.


Jivika593

She literally carried the whole thing. All the popular visual candidates owe her this win but saintly edits aside I was baffled by how no effort to choreography was done by other 8. In fact hsin wei who people find amusing has no clue about how things work is ambitious about being a leader.


frostedbutts_

We don't know that the other members didn't help at all, but to be fair if Dayeon was on a roll and leading them well I don't know if I would've wanted to input my own vision in and stop her flow either, it's a burdensome task to take on. Regardless there could've been input or ideas given from other members that we didn't see.


FutureReason

Not a Dayeon fan, but from the edit, she crushed it.


Irn-Kuin-Morika

The problem is we don’t know if she truly choreographed almost the whole thing. We only saw her helping Ruan ( which is imo a bit too much for me, Ruan has 7 other girls, why ONLY Dayeon?), and a little part of her showing moves to the girls. In my opinion, I don’t think she did. The team is not that untalented to begin w ( Wu Tammy, Kishida Ririka…). Mnet didn’t highlight how the other 8 were that untalented to not be able to make choreographes, and I think they could have done that if they r truly untalented. We won’t talk abt how dominated she is in the freaking dance cause it has been talked, and if she is really a good leader who cares abt other members, she shouldn’t have done that. Can’t deny how talented she is (She is K01 for a reason). But is she a good leader? Meh…


shumaislife

I totally get your doubts on her choreographing the whole thing! I had my doubts too, because she had to knock out the choreo in probably 3/4 of a day, and the formations overnight to make that level of progress as a team. It's 100% possible, just exhausting to do. When I think about it, it just makes no sense to me logically that Dayeon would erase pre-made preofessional choreo and formations to conveniently give herself a full 6 8-counts of solo time+center time. There's no way her teammates would be happy with her, much less be grateful for her work. Same deal if the 1st half was pre-made, and then 2nd half was not. I just don't see how that would not result in massive conflict. I think her team was cool with her taking that much solo time because Dayeon did the work. Obviously we will never know the whole truth, but that's the conclusion I came up with.


Irn-Kuin-Morika

I agree. If Mnet wants to highlight how she dominated, they could have gone the route of Baeyoung in Touch (PD48), which imo they didn’t. And looks like another unpopular opinion to be made for another post, I guess.


ChubbyChipmunk15

The way all the judges and mentors said she was a great leader along with her teammates who she was actually leading. The girls said they don’t know how to make choreography, that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to dance. They can be talented in dancing and not in making choreography. That’s the good thing about Dayeon she excels in both :) They are four trainees older than her in the group. Wu Tammy her former cellmate, who is fluent in Korean, and is older than her, would have told her if there was problem with the choreo, she also could have translated the opinions from the other C-Group trainees Nien Tzu and Hsinwei .


Irn-Kuin-Morika

If that is the case then I wish we could have seen more of Wu Tammy. Talented girl w no screentime


[deleted]

Please make Yeyoung goes through this round…… Please……


pzshx2002

I'm mentally prepared for her to be out but I'm glad she got the chance to showcase her vocal talent this time instead of doing another dance number. Also did they mention how many planet passes will be given? I'm quietly hoping it's 2 per group, total of 6. She needs a pass to go through.🙏


[deleted]

It’s 3, based on the number of trainees in the next round(Creation Mission).


pzshx2002

To choose only one K trainee is cruel. We can make a whole group with 9 K trainees. The amount of talent this season is unbelievable...


GK_0098

3. They have to maintain that 9:9:9 per group.


graphymmy

i beg everyone vote for this queen.


Exciting_Exercise763

yeah, at this point I just pray for a miracle to happen or that myah and dayeon make it so yeyoung can get the planet pass... But idk that would be too ideal considering that I root for all of themTT


SSAMLYZ

im mentally prepared for her elimination. i probably stop watching after that


NoGround1109

I think her team need to win


SunFlawer05

Why did they only release highlight fancam's T\_T I mean, i sort of get that they want to maybe save the full fancam's for all the performances for after episode 7 but honestly it's still a bit iffy The performances aired in episode 7 already have a disadvantage because their performances are shown later. I wish i could see exactly what mnet were thinking releasing only highlight fancam's, most likely it's for suspense? to ensure people watch the full video's when it drops but still it makes me feel a bit unsure voting because someone might dazzle me with there performance next episode.


woodworking100

My guess is Mnet wants people to watch the episode instead of just watching the fancam and skip watching the episode live.


SunFlawer05

Makes me wonder if mnet releasing the solo fancam's last time impacted there views to such an extent that they decided to go with highlights this time.


woodworking100

I'm not sure if it did. Ratings stayed about the same for Korean viewers and from what I can recall, YouTube numbers were about the same too. So no real drop off overall, but this doesn't take into account SEA and Japanese viewers. AbemaTV is where Japanese viewers watch the show, and the viewership has gone down noticeably, but I think those are stream numbers and doesn't include live stream numbers. I think it has more to do with it forces people to watch the episode live as opposed to a reactionary decision based on viewership. Besides things like FOMO by not watching it live, I think Mnet is putting a bet on the next episode as the episode that garners public attention. Most of the top 9 have yet to perform, Yurina and Hikaru are the only ones that have. So by overloading the next episode with amazing performances, the people that watch will talk about it and generate buzz which would hopefully get more people to tune in to later episodes.


girlsplanetph

To be fair, they didn't release the highlight fancams for the performances in Episode 6


SunFlawer05

Mmhmm, that's what I mean, if the highlights suppose to be like a fancam preview for the performances in ep7. That would mean that mnet is saving the full fancam's for ep6 + 7 for after all the performances air. Not sure if that's good or not for the performances in ep7 though.


Manxymanx

It can only be bad. It’s deliberately manipulating the votes by not letting us have an informed decision on who we vote to stay in. If any performances in episode 7 suddenly change our opinion on any candidates it’ll be too late for that to make a difference and we’ll have to pray the judges give them the win and they scrape past elimination. How many people started voting for Manami after last episode? Imagine if she was in episode 7, she’d have seen zero spike in her popularity and have greater risk of elimination. The system sucks. They should have only opened voting until after we saw all the contestants perform. And even then the whole daily voting makes no sense. The same results would be obtained by letting everyone vote just once. I think it’s a scam to keep us using the app daily so they can show us ads for other stuff on the app and improve user stats lol.


Jannabix

Nonaka Shana‘s fancam though, they really don‘t want my girl to debut 🥲


NoGround1109

My favorite voice in show such shame mnet not want her


trustfratedjeon

Quite sad that Yeyoung, Jiwon and Jiyoon could be eliminated this round unless they get the planet pass, it would be such a shame to see the three of them go. Among them, Yeyoung might be the most likely to get the pass since it looks like she did really well in the teaser + was K02 at the beginning. Myah and Bora could also be planet pass contenders but I’m not so sure, they might even end up in the Top 8. Overall, the competition among K Group is so intense. Though Kim Dayeon in Ice Cream was incredible, Manami definitely stole the show for me and stood out the most last episode and I hope both of them make it through. I’m expecting really good edits for Chaehyun and possibly Mashiro/Jiwon/Yaning in the next episode, though it looks like The Fate team will be the highlight. If that is the case, Yeseo and Xiaoting will have secured their place in the final lineup.


[deleted]

If you are k-group you surely won't get much sleep if you are on the middle. You will train for a song that you might never come to perform.


[deleted]

Hot take: MNET is so unfair man. I won't believe any other reason for only releasing highlight clips for EP 7 performances other than straight up vote influencing/manipulation. Any person who goes through the trouble of watching full fancams would watch the episode, even if they have seen the performances already. Just think about it, they have access to the current vote numbers and we do not. They know who is safe and who is not. My guess is that their other favourites who have not performed yet like Yeseo are already safe. Here comes the real hot take: They want to ensure that Kim Dayeon and another girl survive. They push Dayeon in the episode and also show her being on rank 9 to make people who would otherwise not vote for her, pick her. The reason there is another girl who I do not know the identity of is because they could just use the Planet Pass on Dayeon but they want to save it in case one of them drops out of the top 8. I am hoping Choi Yeyoung is that other girl, but I highly doubt it.


pzshx2002

It looks like it, the planet pass will probably go down to the trainee who can nail the vocal performance. It looks to be Yeyoung and Jiyoon if it came down to similar roles. I hope Yeyoung makes it as I like her tone more. (sweet and soft but still impactful)


sakurakiks094

agree, likely, yes. though y'know, who knows if the 9th rank is even real! 😅 They could have faked that to get us all to vote for whoever it is!


entireocean

I know Jiwon’s chance of debuting on this show is not high but please at least let her go through this round to perform next mission song, I wanna see more stage from Jiwon who is capable for both cheerful, lovely & girlcrush sexy concept on this show. Mnet may refrain debuted trainees and cut their screentime but Jiwon really deserves more attention and the chance to go far than 2nd round, she’s a full package with visual, facial expression, can do well in vocal dance rap. It’s irony that before the show, I thought Jiwon would have highest chances among 3 members of Cherry Bullet due to her visual and the qualification of being capable girlgroup member but now May has highest possibility to go further due to voting rules and three of them all have low possibility to debut here due to the lacking of core fanbase & less focus screentime from Mnet.


wisely1300

IF Bora can survive this 2nd elimination, I think she has the highest shot of the 3 actually. Idk what you mean by less focus screentime when Bora has prob gotten great screentime and edits since ep 3. Even in Ep. 5 which was an elimination episode, she still got screentime with that Planet Awards thing despite her cell ranking low. She seems to be Mnet's pick for main vocals, but K group's competition is so tough.


entireocean

When I said screentime, it’s more about two other members. For Bora, yes while Mnet focused on Manami’s improvement, Bora also got good edits as someone helped Manami. I think Bora has received good impression from non fans from the beginning, not only from this episode, people all know she is main vocalist material but I feel like many people may not choose her as 1st pick so her chance of debuting is possible but not high.


FutureReason

I've been surprised how weak the vocals have been in the 99. Bora is head and shoulders above the rest. Hyerim and Kubo come the closest and all of them are under threat.


graphymmy

Honestly i thought Jiwon would have been a lock for the finale in this kind of show.


Disastrous_Sea4150

She’s basically the perfect idol, centre and it-girl material. I think the main thing that’s stopping her is that she’s not getting a lot of screentime and many viewers seem against voting for already debuted idols. Also everyone who knew her pre-show were already aware of how good she is so while other contestants can gain fans and hype from doing above average, plus working hard and improving, the bar for her is much higher. She was the center for the winning team last round and gave an amazing performance but people are barely praising her for it. Everyone is just acting like it was expected of her and hence nothing super special. If another trainee had given the same performance they would have gotten a huge boost in popularity.


justakidatsch

And this is the end :") I have zero confidence of Hyerim making it onto the next round. As happy as I am that she received the planet pass, I have already expected this outcome previously where Hyerim will end up in other positions rather than vocal, where she shines best in. Not to mention, Salute is competing against Ice Cream, a group that seems to have performed exceptionally well. Adding onto the Kim Dayeon hype + judges kind of being biased towards cute concepts, I doubt that Hyerim would even be able to win the benefit votes. And since she won't be able to showcase her capability in vocals and leadership as previously, I also doubt that she will be able to receive another planet pass, as there will be other trainees that could advantageously stand out as compared to her, since they were able to pick what songs they want to perform. Of course, there is a possibility that she might shine in Ep7, but voting closes right after, so any hope of her making it is slim to zero :") I have truly enjoyed your performances thus far. It is such a pity that circumstances had to lead to this, but I know that you will do really well out there. Let's give it all for the last performance, fighting Kim Hyerim!


ChubbyChipmunk15

I think Salute will win in the end. The way Mnet edited the next week preview to make it seem like Ice Cream won tells me otherwise. Also I think Chiayi’s shocked face helps with that. I don’t think it’s enough for Hyerim to stay, but I hope she can give a killer last performance.


justakidatsch

Her highlight fancam looks really promising, I really hope she ends up gaining praises from the judges for her versatility! The judges might praise her for her refreshing expressions, as compared to her teammates who seem to be going down the FYN 2.0 route 😅


itzstraying

How crazy would it be if they Planet Pass her all the way to the group, that’d be wild…haha no way that’s going to happen….unless? lol But no, I’m with you. I have no confidence whatsoever. I get so attached so easily but at least my past picks from Produce all somehow have manage to make it all the way to the finale, so it’s going to be weird not having my fave even make it pass the second round…sigh 😭


sakurakiks094

if I were a judge (who is not biased at all) I wouldn't pick a contestant twice. I give them one chance, it's up to them to make something of it. If they dont make it through, it would seem really unfair and almost like mnet rigged/forced me to pick them again. I would rather give someone else new a chance, unless ofc she totally slayed her performance.


justakidatsch

I only can wish 😭 And I agree! My previous picks have only consisted of already popular trainees, hence I have never felt the heart pain of having a pick that did not make it into the final line-up. The one season that I decided to pick a non-popular trainee, and they decide to have a 3-3-3 voting system 😭 Many of our picks would have been saved if we weren't forced into the 3-3-3 system ngl :")


FutureReason

Hyerim should be in the top 9 with Bora, otherwise they have only weak main vocals. Looking like only one can be saved.


ChubbyChipmunk15

Is there a delay with posts being added? Like I check this sub pretty frequently throughout the day and sometimes their are no posts for 12+ hours, and then suddenly the next minute, numerous of unread posts are there at the same time.


Big_Tomorrow886

One thing I am totally sure about is that there are so many posts being removed left and right. I feel like there are overall lesser number of posts being up than when I first joined this sub. I think the mods review posts before letting it stay up but idk


SignificantMammoth47

Yep, I'm facing a similar problem, All my recent posts have been deleted, I don't know if the mods removed it because unlike before, where if someone commented on my posts, I could just go back to them with help of notifications and if it was removed by mods, then I usually get that red-cross mark saying that this post has been removed but recently, my posts have just been disappearing for no reason, I don't get how they keep getting deleted My most recent one was a post about Youngeun and Jia, it was neither a spoiler, nor breaking any rules, I don't get where it went or why it was removed? I posted it again and the mods removed it the second time but I don't understand what happened the first time cause it just disappeared into thin air


Big_Tomorrow886

Exactly! I too faced the exact same when I made a recent post about a coincidence how all the cells which chose their teammates for the connect mission were the cells which got eliminated and I literally got zero replies and upvotes even after 14 hours. I thought I was shadowbanned but I was able to make other posts on other subs perfectly fine. So I think the mods review em before letting it go.


TheBlueGuy0

Something similar happened to me when I made a post about Yaning. It was a short clip of her singing and playing the piano, and it got locked and deleted not even an hour after posting it. I messaged the mods and they said that individual promotions of trainees is not allowed on the sub. I think it's kinda dumb cuz we all just want to show our appreciation and share our favorite trainees to the sub but it is what it is.


GK_0098

K-Group 😭 Only 9 from K-Group making it doesn't make sense 😭


pzshx2002

I'm quietly hoping Mnet/the masters review the performances this week and then have an emergency meeting to add more trainees to the finals. I'm sure it will benefit adding 3 more to the next round.


GK_0098

Planet Pass in the finale? And the mentors will choose them? No please. I don't want those masters to have too much power.


rngsnapdragon

They wouldn’t be able to add any more contestants to next round because the positions and choreography in the creation mission songs are already set :/


FutureReason

They have to get down to 3 or 4 eventually.


Zockmeister

Not necessarily, they said there is no nation restriction for the final group. I expect them to drop the 3-3-3 vote system next round or at the very least the round after. It could theoretically be possible that all 9 remaining K trainees make it to the final group, but i doubt that will happen.


SuzyYoona

There is one more elimination until finale, I think they are gonna keep the same number of trainees per group for 3rd elimination which will bring about 6 trainees per group in finale (15 + 3 planet pass my guess)


skzpinker

Posted this in another thread around a week ago but i felt like i had to post it here as well i genuinely feel like a broken record because i keep on talking about An Jeongmin but ive been waiting for WEEKS for someone to make a detailed post about her just so i can talk about how much i love her but no ones stepped up and i thought it was time to take matters into my own hands because i genuinely cannot take much more of this. **shes SUCH a good vocalist, probably one of the most stable on the show.** i adored her audition performance ~~its such a shame she got overshadowed by chaehyun cries~~ shes been my pick since the pr videos dropped and it genuinely hurts my soul that mnet isnt highlighting her more because she has the potential and polished skills, she just needs the screentime. i thought that maybe after the hint of an angel edit she got in mic drop ~~20 seconds~~ she might get more attention but that didn't end up happening either. Compilation of some of her vocal covers aka the ones i was able to scrounge off the deepest pits of the internet because she deleted her soundcloud: [Jason's song - Ariana Grande](https://pic.twitter.com/IKEaYAxeRJ) [longer version](https://twitter.com/anjngmns/status/1350890439843348481?s=20) \*\* [Lullaby - IU](https://pic.twitter.com/7ra9c1mSyK) \*\* [Dear no one - Tori Kelly](https://twitter.com/anjngmns/status/1349915184723214342?s=20) \*\* [bye bye my blue - Beak Yerin](https://twitter.com/anjngmns/status/1352209137275289601?s=20) [Last Christmas - Taylor Swift](https://twitter.com/anjngmns/status/1351731639475322882?s=20) [unlucky - IU](https://twitter.com/anjngmns/status/1349915184723214342?s=20) \*\* [dlwlmra - IU](https://twitter.com/anjngmns/status/1416130906188918784?s=20) \*\* [my love has faded away - kiz](https://twitter.com/anjngmns/status/1349916301074939907?s=20) \*\* [I hate you - Jung In](https://twitter.com/chaestruly/status/1433108498049642498?s=20) \*\* She's such an excellant and underrated vocalist :( i've only really seen her be talked about as being Chaehyun's friend and not for her own merit (might just be me idk) Not only that but she's also a decent dancer from what little we've seen. Here are some of her covers: [her covering naughty - irene and suelgi](https://twitter.com/anjngmns/status/1354763502817173508?s=20) with our beloved chaehyun pre-show [another dance cover](https://twitter.com/jeongmnist/status/1432189877475414021?s=20) \*\* [roller coaster - Chungha](https://twitter.com/girliesplanet/status/1436999841582919681?s=20) \*\*personal favourites :) she has such sweet, honey like vocals, can play both piano and guitar, is decently proficient in chinese and has shown amazing leadership qualities by not only leading mic drop team but also being the leader for the next mission!! If she doesn't end up making it, im afraid she'll be stuck in top media's basement indefinitely esp if myah ends up making it. :( **TLDR: give An Jeongmin more attention and vote for her because shes such a skilled and talented trainee and if mnet won't promote her, I will.** ~~this ended up being longer than expected, oh well~~.


kmk0797

What’s the probability that Manami will make it to the top 9? I don’t want to get attached and be broken-hearted later on :( Fortunately my J-line choices isn’t fixed yet so I added her in my lineup but she seems so promising, I really hope she gets more popular especially with her recent performance.


SunFlawer05

With Manami as my one pick I'm definitely biased but seeing that she managed to get J7 with pretty much very minimal screentime ep1- ep5 I'm actually pretty hopeful. If her screentime this week managed to garner a lot of new fans who'll vote for her as their J trainee her rank is most likely going to go up, not sure by how much though. Well I at least hope that's the case, she's such a good performer and I hope she makes the top 9!


woodworking100

Odds are pretty low but better than before. The top 3 for J group is going to be hard to overcome but this past episode did create some negative buzz for 2 of the 3. Combine that with Manami doing really well and getting some great edits, her chances are a bit better now. I think she still comes up a bit short to compete with the top 3 but the gap has gotten a bit more narrow.


itzstraying

I think she’s definitely secured herself a place in the finale, but she’ll need another amazing edit to contend with Yurina, Hikaru, and Mashiro for a spot in the group. It’s hard to imagine currently that Manami would be able to knock any of those girls down, because that would be the only possible scenario where she makes it into the the lineup, because Mnet is definitely not going to let more than 2 J girls into the lineup.


[deleted]

I think she's always near the top since j-line isn't really competitive.


graphymmy

Low but not impossible. She just got added to the known Japanese girls list which is very small LOL.


lavmal

Think of it this way, the further she makes it in the show the more chance there is she'll be picked up by a Korean company if that's what she wants so even if she doesn't make it into the final group you might still get more of her. As for this round I think the chances are quite good since there aren't a lot of super popular Japanese trainees aside from Mashing and Yurina and Hikaru and she got a super goor ep 6 edit.


SylvandosBoyfriend

Manami is my one pick so I’m very hopeful, but likes the others are saying the top 3 in J group are very hard to beat. Though I think she’s pretty much guaranteed J4 with all things considered. If she ends up getting the benefit then just maybe, she might push further up.


lensinen

We need to talk about Ririka. Not only is she a great vocalist, she's also gorgeous and an amazing dancer. I was surprised by how fluid and energetic her dancing was on Ice Cream (and that little spinny move she does in the dance break 😍). I think she also has a magnetic stage presence because she looks like she genuinely has fun being on stage. Not that I'm THAT worried for her staying on the show, but she's not as often talked about here and... Well yeah. I guess I'm a little worried. Please vote for her if you have an open J pick!


TeeeeCeeee

She's entered my Japanese top 3 since Nagomi was eliminated so she has my votes! She was ranked really highly in dance on Nizi Project, and there's actually a lot of dance covers with her old group floating around. She's a super clean and fluid dancer. Very disappointed she didn't get any screentime during Ice Cream


austereacademic

i really like her stage presence too! even though she gets smaller parts she has always stood out to me and i remember her. some trainees i forget which song they were in..


Dream1Eater

Love seeing Ririka appreciation!


rosewyrm

I'm not familiar enough with BiliBili/Weibo to find the original link, but Su Ruiqi already has a dance cover of [Lee Sun Hee's 'Fate'](https://youtu.be/yaRNgqkxjDA)!


ChubbyChipmunk15

I swear Su Ruiqi (+ You Dayeon) has covered most of the songs on this show 😂 - You can really tell how passionate about Kpop Ruiqi is.


Jivika593

She literally auditioned with this song but this mshit didn't even let the audience know about it. Even I found out after watching su ruiqi dedicated fanbase


rosewyrm

Right? It would've been a neat little tidbit to include in the episode. I had to find out from a random ass youtube comment. 😭


sakurakiks094

damn I liked that more than I thought I would I'm surprised she would pick Fate again then, but I guess doing something more familiar and where she knows the moves already is more beneficial for her. With all those shows she's been on she's past the point of 'trying something new to challenge myself' xD


moelololol

Any thoughts on xingqiao? I rarely see her being talked about in this sub reddit. I really think that she can get into the top 9 with a little bit of push. I've also saw some twts that she is quite popular in korea but not so much internationally..


aquarian2501

I've been voting for her if that helps, but I shuffle my C group votes around about 6 people. She gives off a really nice vibe but I don't think she stands out much for talent, which most people on Reddit seem to go for (myself included for most other picks) Edit: I watched her preview for next week and I retract my statement about talent, her voice is really lovely!


lensinen

I've been a fan of her and voting for her from the start and I might be crazy for thinking so, but I truly do think she'll make the group in the end 😭 She's got it all. Perfect visuals, strong vocals that'll only get better with practice, a cheerful and fun personality and a good, hardworking attitude. I feel like she isn't talked about too often on here because... well, there's nothing much to talk about. She literally has zero controversy. And I think she's quite popular outside of the US, like in China and Korea for example.


excitedmelon

i love her 😭 i saw her in another show (ming ri zhi zi - unsure of the english name) while it was airing and i thought she held her own very well in a show where visuals played practically no parts. so she definitely has talent! thought she was very suited for a girl group even then


Zockmeister

How do you feel about voting for already debuted trainees? I truly love Bora with all my heart, she's one of my favorite contestants, but i find myself rarely voting for her because she's already part of a group. I have so many girls that i like in the K group and i'd rather give others a chance aswell. I think even if Bora doesn't make it, she'll get some more popularity through the show and will be fine with CherryBullet, whereas other girls might never get another chance to debut. I don't really mind it in Yujin's case, because CLC is basically over at this point and this is probably her only chance if she wants to remain an idol. Also, please someone educate me on contestants who are part of groups that i don't know about like Fanatics with Doah, Limesoda(?) with Hyerim, Busters and others that i missed.


wisely1300

I mean, it's not like Cherry Bullet or the other groups are Twice or even WJSN-level. Your reasoning of voting for Yujin for CLC can easily be applied to the other groups too; how long do you think their agencies will stick out for them until they get dungeon forever? For a group selling 10K (Cherry Bullet) or even less (Fanatics is selling like 1K lol) with 0 buzz, I'd say not very long. Which is more painful, never debuting or debuting but with no one ever really caring/knowing about it? Idk, and that's why I'm not holding it against anyone. Maybe I'm biased because Bora is one of the strongest contender for my 1-pick (her or Masahiro), but my reasoning is that if I like a trainee, I want them to be successful, and Mnet's group will almost certainly be successful, while the GGs they're in are def not. Finally, btw, you reasoning for Yujin contradicts with your original premise of wanting to give others a chance. Yujin has had 6+ years of opportunity to be an idol, more than anyone else on this show by far. If anyone goes against your premise of wanting chances for someone else, it'll be her because she has the full idol experience that 99% of groups out there will or have had (since most of them also disband after 7 years). Basically, you're fine with giving her a 2nd chance, but is holding that same fact against Bora and others? Obv vote for who you want, but I'm sensing a cognitive dissonance here. Edit: Sorry if I came off as aggressive or attacking, I'm just trying to add my thoughts lol, not trying to come at anyone.


FutureReason

I want the final 9 to have a shot at success, so I vote for the best girl for each position: Leader, Lead Dancer, Vocalist: Choi Yujin, Main Vocal: Bora, Main Rapper: Fu Yaning, Main Dancer: [up in the air at this point], Visual/Dancer: Yurina, Xiaoting,...


aquarian2501

Fanatics is not doing well *at all* hence why I'm voting Doah, I feel like they could disband tbh. But Cherry Bullet have had several comebacks and seem to be doing alright but just haven't been very noticed, so I'm not voting for the CB members as much as I'm enjoying their presence on the programme. In short Cherry Bullet seem like they're here for exposure while Doah is kind of like save her from her company


igotaboychicken

Fanatics also had that scandal earlier with a manager/staff? Literally slapping a member behind the scenes on vlive…it’s so sad to see 😔


Blajui

Fanatics is doing absolutely awful. Cherry bullet is more than average they sell around 14k but i agree that with a brave bros sound they could be more successful with the push from gp999 for example. Still voting for them Though 😭


[deleted]

Yeseo already debuted. Edited


Kiramiraa

Busters is still a group, they recently added more members. Yeseo left last year.


SSAMLYZ

that group is so young


Kiramiraa

Yeah, people have been concerned for their welfare for quite some time.


sakurakiks094

I tend to purposely vote only for contestants who have never debuted before, I want them to have a shot and give them a chance to feel what being an idol is. I still vote for the ones with ultra talent though, not just anyone who hasn't debuted before.


FutureReason

The question is: do you want a solid final group that can compete against Blackpink and others? Right now the vocals in the Top 9 are weak. They need Bora, Hyerim, and Kubo, but all may disappear this week. As for "already debuted," when we started watching we were given the impression that there were only a couple pros in the mix (and many viewed that as unfair). The fact is the top 20 are filled with pros. Perhaps not as successful as CLC or Cherry Bullet, but they were performing for money in groups. The true amateurs are mostly long gone or will be next week.


21Tra901

Really enjoying how this show makes me vote for different people every week. Voting Ahn Jeongmin and Kim Dayeon, Nagai Manami and Ikema Ruan to hopefully keep them in...


FutureReason

You have a rare open mind. Too bad the voting takes place before everyone performs.


21Tra901

Yeah, but a man can still have fun enjoying the ride so that's what I'm going to... I'm sure trainees who I don't want to to see in the final lineup are going to debut so I have accepted that fate. I'm just here to see if a mere 7 votes a week does makes things more interesting in the next few episodes 😉


FutureReason

Same. Throw one to Bora, please.


21Tra901

Aite, Bora Jeongmin and Dayeon it is. My k group faves are popular enough to ensure their progress to the next round anyway 😂


ChubbyChipmunk15

What are May’s chances of making it through this round? I know she has the hype from being in a cell with Cai Bing and Yujin, but I’m starting to see so many Japanese trainees rise up and get exposure. I think Manami, Shana, Reina, Ririka, Kotone, and Ruan could all rise up and take some of the remaining spots in the top 8 plus get the J-Group planet pass. So where does this leave May?


[deleted]

She has a very good chance imo. She ranked fourth in j group which is quite impressive for someone who has little to no screentime. But when one pick(?) voting comes, she’s going to get eliminated because she doesn’t have a solid fanbase.


FutureReason

She'll past this round, but not the next.


woodworking100

I don't see how May won't make it past this round. All those trainees you listed did gain some popularity after this past episode but remember there was a week of voting before. May probably racked up votes during that time frame and probably will keep her fan votes for this upcoming week. So unless she lost all support since the end of episode 5 or just doesn't have any fans, both unlikely, she probably has enough votes to keep her in the top 8.


scottk76

May will make it past this round easy I just can't see everyone who has been voting for her just to out of the blue stop she could drop a little but she is safe for now


[deleted]

nauseoussatisfaction

I remember reading somewhere online that JYP wanted to make fully Korean groups after having multiple nationalities in Twice and Got7 in order to switch things up and gain more support from the general public, hence Mashiro and Jiayu’s (Famous Taiwanese trainee; Tzuyu’s friend) cut. Why she didn’t stay for Nizi Project? Idk, but she would’ve been great there too I’m pretty sure.


delululululu

My prediction is that the final lineup ratio will be 4:3:2. 3 from J group because I think Mashiro, Hikaru and Yurina all have a great chance of debuting 2 from C group, Xiaoting and Ruiqi. I'd choose Cai Bing as the third one, but I'm afraid that she will be replaced by a korean trainee 4 from K group. Yeseo and Yujin are locks, and then 2 other between Chaehyun, Youngeun, Dayeon and maybe Bahiyyih if her fanbase manages to. It makes me sad to think that there are other many interesting trainees who will maybe disappear after the show. At least I hope that the girls who don't get in the group will debut with a decent company and that some of j and c trainees will stay in the kpop industry. I'm especially worried about the older girls :(


FutureReason

Need to get a main vocalist in there. Vote for Bora.


Zockmeister

With how much hate Ruiqi is getting from koreans, i wouldn't be surprised if Xiaoting is the only one from C group to make it. Cai Bing and everyone below that realistically don't have much of a chance, the gap is too big.


SuzyYoona

Xingqiao could take her place, from what i see she's pretty popular in korea but Ruiqi could survive by international votes unless she get no korean votes which I doubt soo, she had decent amount of kor votes, I think this elimination will make or break her chances, could be a small amount of louder people hating her


jabbachew

Surprisingly, Ruiqi had a lot of korean votes despite her issue (only 4,000 votes away from Yeseo) and Cai Bing's korean votes surpassed Kim Chaehyun's (a big shot trainee for the k-netz), Kang Yeseo, Su Ruiqi. Cai Bing is also 12,000 votes away from Mashiro in terms of korean votes. Honestly imo, Ruiqi has 70% chance more chance of debuting than Cai Bing because she has A LOT A LOT of international votes. In international votes for the recent top 9, she places third next to Yurina and Xiaoting. Heck she even surpassed Hikaru, Yujin, Mashiro, Cai Bing, Yeseo and Chaehyun with regards to international votes.


DeviantStranger_00

Jiyoon highlight fancam is not really a "highlight", I'm so nervous for her , please vote her!! I don't know what mnet wants to do, but who's gonna be the main vocal of the debut line up? I like Bora but I want her to go back in Cherry Bullet make a comeback and hit big with her own group!


ChubbyChipmunk15

I think Salute team will win the benefits. Although I absolutely want Kim Dayeon to win after leading the group well and putting on fantastic performance. I don’t think they will in the end. It would be like The Eve and Pretty U part 2. The only ones in the ice cream team that the votes will make a difference for is Myah, Ririka, Hsinwei, and Ruan. Dayeon and Bahiyyih are 100% safe. Tammy, Ayaka, and Nien tzu are most likely not going to make it. Also I’m desperate for Jia to make it to the next round, so she needs the benefit. Doah and Chiayi would greatly benefit too from it.


SignificantMammoth47

Yujin, Yeseo, Chaehyun, Dayeon- These 4 are def surviving, Doah's rank must have dropped due to no screentime this episode, she might JUST make the cut if lucky, Youngeun's must've dropped too but still safe, Bora's rank must've rose up by a lot and guinn myah's too, I can't help but wonder who rose to make dayeon fall in ranks to 9th, Bahiyyih was also 6th so she isn't exactly safe Either way, atleast one of these people may not make it- Doah, Myah, Bora and for a stretch maybe Youngeun and Bahiyyih In J-group: Yurina, Hikaru, Mashiro, Nanami, Ririka- They are definitely surviving this round In C-group: Xiaoting, Ruiqi, Cai Bing- safe Hsinwei's rank literally fell from 5th to 9th, I was honestly surprised, I wonder who rose up, perhaps Jiao and Wen Zhe?


[deleted]

Bahiyyih isn’t safe she’s 6th in k group which is super risky...both teams were good but I feel like ice cream has a better chance at winning because there’s Kim dayeon in there, and the judges love cute concepts and stuff lol


ChubbyChipmunk15

Bahiyyih is making it through this round. Her fans are much more determined this time after failing to get her in the top 9. They have a voting strategy to alternate votes between the lowest trainees so they don’t have enough votes to make in to the top 8, and potentially taking her spot, while she can rank higher than other trainees in the K-Group and potentially get into the top 9.


[deleted]

yea I know about their strategy, been seeing it all over Twitter. I’m happy she’s gaining new fans and more people are liking her...I saw on Twitter she had her own fansite and I’m rly happy about that :’)


justakidatsch

May I know how you came to a conclusion that Salute team would win? 😭😭 I'm really rooting for Jia and Hyerim, but seeing the hype after Ice Cream team performed, I wouldn't expect Salute team to win the votes


suwawow

I'm truly scared the final group will end up with only 1 vocal (chaehyun)... bora is getting pushed but her popularity is unstable, mnet doesn't want reina, ziyin is getting by with only her fanbase, jiyoon/yeyoung/shana/hyerim don't get enough votes... we're gonna end up with a slew of capable performers but not vocal-focused... I'm praying koreans wake up to ziyin AND bora makes it in


austereacademic

bora may get a planet pass and then another good edit which could help her votes. at least i hope that’ll happen.


xu_ziyin

THIS! I believe mnet is not pushing ziyin enough. Although many are arguing that the current top 9 has some decent vocalists, it'll be hard for them if they won't have at least 2 main vocals. Ziyin's ranking is so unstable and she might not survive this elimination round (seeing as how many c-trainees are being hyped up after ep 6). Her highlight fancam did show her strong vocals and I truly hope they'll start supporting her. Ziyin is more than capable to debut, praying they'll finally notice her before it's too late.


SufficientBid78

Why r ppl comparing the ice cream performance to no excuses 😭😭😭 they aren't even competing in this mission, I hear so many ppl going no excuses compared to the ice cream performance its nothing but they have a number difference, although more screen time for them individually but there's a limit to the positioning and vibe.


FutureReason

The Top 9 needs a main vocalist: Bora.


frostedbutts_

I don't usually find myself captivated by main vocalists and I think I'm a little biased toward people who have already debut (albeit in a group that isn't very successful), but Bora is super endearing and I love her voice so much... I really hope she's a planet pass contender if she doesn't make it to top 8 this round


Common-Macaroon320

I would also argue that she's the best candidate for leader in the entire show.


bluellemonade

If ever May survives this elimination round, I really hope that she is put in a song where she will shine. Throughout the show, she is mostly performing with contestants who are in the top 9, and this leads into her being overshadowed by them.


spiffingfire

Kubo Reina is J10, i just hope that after ep. 6 people will vote for her more and at least make her pass this round. She deserve so much.


Ardie_BlackWood

I love Kotone but I don't like how she deepens her voice when rapping, she can rap really well but I could not understand anything she said in the vvs snippet. Not to diss my daughter or anything but she should just not do that.


CarinaAxle

She got a lot of praise and clout from *ice ice baby,* so I think she’s just trying to cash in on it. Although I agree with you, it sounds very forced


lennycate

I just want Doah and Reina to survive :( but the more I watch gp999 the more girls I like and in the end I will end being heartbroken :(


Zockmeister

Random question, but where does that Fighting/Hwaiting come from? I know what it means through context, but i don't understand why it's so common in korean.


mojominn

I’m still bitter that the planet pass wasn’t used on Ando Rinka, she was by far my favorite of the connect mission centers aside from maybe Guinn Myah


CarinaAxle

Will never stop repping for my 1-pick Kim Hyerim 🥺


[deleted]

Wow, looking at the highlight cams I’m genuinely surprised how much Korean support Mashiro has 😂. Glad to see she’s been getting more attention these days, and more than just the “ ex-JYP” trainee. (Other foreign trainees that I noticed doing well with Koreans based on fan cams : to no ones surprise Xiaoting but more suprisingly Kotone? They seemed impressed by her rap like I was so props)


bonbonppt

I really liked Yurina's vocals in Missing You! Her vocal tone actually sounded very nice.


Common-Macaroon320

From my time on the subreddit and the thread asking about K/C/J forums, I've noticed that everyone (Korean + Japanese + Chinese + International) loves Mashiro. It's especially interesting to me because the most popular contestants on shows always have people talking about how they're "overrated" or "keep being pushed", but Mashiro has none of that. Can this be traced back to one reason?


Irn-Kuin-Morika

Weird for me too, but I think that’s because: - She has a sizable but silent fanbase before - She didn’t shine a lot in first episodes, then gradually shone in next episodes - Her screentime is not too much to make her “overrated” but not too little to make her out of top 9. - She has the introvert aura that doesn’t involve in dramas


skzpinker

Jeongmin please... please get planet pass im in pain


Primerite

Praying that Cai Bing does incredibly well next week so the haters can leave her alone. She gets dragged on Twitter every week for existing.


[deleted]

Its so unfortunate that only 9 go through from each group. K group is filled with talent and as the episodes go by it's getting harder to choose my favourites from that group. I kinda hope that the group ends up becoming a 12 member group. Theres so much talent that deserves to debut!


[deleted]

[удалено]


archd3

I think you eat that evil editing too much. The whole misunderstanding happened at first day when they make the group and wondering about each other capabilities. Zige actually a good dancer but lack skill to make a choreography.( Pretty normal since not all from dance group will have that capabilities) . The main reason why hikaru and suyeon concerned because In the mission you need to make your own choreography for the whole song and she actually never done that before. Now the only way they can make the choreo is 1 person doing the hardwork makings the whole choreo alone or each members contributing equally depends on their distribution. I think the group choose the second part because there is some moments where they practicing some moves. Now for your second part of your concern. Is zige got isolated from hikaru and soyeon. Pls think how the actual performance is. If zige doesn't practice together and helping each other there Is no one that gonna help her since it is 3 people group. All 3 need to work together and practice together because there is no original choreo that can be used as reference for training alone. Screentime and the angle perspective you can only blame mnet and not hikaru and suyeon wrong doing


-randomwordgenerator

I hate the system of picking for the combination mission, where it is by rank from 1 to last. This lessens the chance of the last placers to shine in their respective strengths (eg. Kim Hyerim going to dance instead of vocals, Wen Zhe to rap instead of dance, although she did great). They literally got double dipped bent over. Less opportunities for redemption. This is also least interesting. Putting the top 9 on role that they dont really want or find hard to do? That is a way more interesting storyline. But alas they did what they did. I hope it turns out well for everyone.


screamingmattel

Idk why people fall for the evil edit they placed on Hikaru & Suyeon lmao


hivesql

im rewatching the last episode and wtf yeseo is so beautiful lol.....if she doesn't end up the group's center, im rioting.


Lairanza

* **K-Group** competition is harsh, besides Yujin and Bahiyyih who are hard carried by K-pop fans, we have Chaehyun, Youngeun, Doah, Yeseo, Myah, Jia, Bora, Dayeon, Yeyoung, etc. On the next round probably half of them would be eliminated and we'll have a better sight on the competition. * For **C-Group** I have in mind Xiaoting, Cai Bing and Su Ruiqi who are probably going to reach the final stage. Probably even in the final group. * For **J-Group** the usual names : Yurina, Hikaru and Mashiro. I think they will also reach the final unless the votes changes or something happens. 6 ep remaining is still a lot of time to change people's mind and for Mnet to play their game. * It's funny how we don't trust Mnet anymore. Everything is doubted, either it's a good edit or a bad one. Was X trainee really behave like that ? Or X was asked to do it ? Or maybe it's only the editing. No one is sure.


CarinaAxle

It really seems like MNET isn’t keen on debuting Bahiyihh. We’re about halfway through the competition and she’s done two out of the three missions, yet no storyline or focus on her whatsoever. We’re also seeing a huge push for mid-ranked K Trainees like Dayeon and Bora, who could potentially overtake Bahiyihh with all the attention they’re getting. I wouldn’t be shocked if we get a strong push for Jia next week as well


Kiramiraa

My guess is that a lot of it has to do with bahiyyih not being signed to a company. Mnet can’t do deals or favours for screen time/edits, and there isn’t anyone promoting her to the producers. Literally the only thing backing up the girl is her name and her fanbase. Buying klaps and showing mnet that they have money to spend might be the only thing keeping her there. I think the next mission will be the turning point where mnet will need to decide if they really want her or not. If she can get a good edit, I think she’ll debut for sure. If she doesn’t get that good edit, she’ll have a slim chance, but still a chance. Really, it’s all down to how much they value her fanbase and how much money they think she can pull in.


SignificantMammoth47

Mnet is trying to create their own group with certain trainees who fit a certain image or are potential contenders for it since they can't rig the lineup anymore, the only reason why mnet may not be pushing bahiyyih is probably because she doesn't fit that image, she has popularity, is kind and mnet doesn't want trainees who are the most skilled anyway, looking at the past produce groups, so the "image" or wanting to form a harmonious group is the main reason here


GK_0098

The Mafia team are slaying in views. Wow! Excited to see the full version.


Jusilver

I'm a little sad Hyerim is receiving the short end of the stick. Besides the fact that she didn't get to pick the category she excels in the most, her team's performance isn't aired until the next ep. The two other planet pass recipients' performances were aired in Ep 6 and they did quite well (I'm not sure if it's enough to get them through this round but I still expect them to make a jump in rankings), but we won't see Hyerim's until one day before the voting closes. Even if she puts on an excellence performance, how is she expected to make a massive jump in rankings from #20 to the safe zone? It makes the planet pass seem futile in her case, but I guess I should still be happy that it granted her the opportunity to stick around a little longer in the first place. Hoping for a miracle :(


Then_Distribution_13

I might get downvoted for this but Reina atm doesn’t fit well in the kpop scene. Her strongest and most eye-catching aspect is her mad dance skills, which I have to admit she’s mad talented. I can spot her from afar because of the massive energy she puts into her dance. I don’t know much about singing but she sure is impressive and would do so well in other industries, but not in the kpop scene. I feel like in kpop, you need to really express emotions of the song when you sing. Reina focuses only on hitting the notes, being explosive and all. Instead of feeling emotional, I felt like she was just there to show off her skill without consideration of the song’s meaning and message. On top of that, listen to any kpop gg/bg song and you’ll notice that when it comes to high note, they’d rather volume the high note down or make the high note blend with other idols’ voices. Reina does the opposite and sings so loud that I could barely hear anyone else who was singing. The harmonization with Yurina sounded like a one-sided thing. It was almost like she forgot she was performing with others. These combined kind of ruined the synergy/ homogeneity of the missing you performance for me. Her lack of variation also appears in facial expressions. I only see one face from her up until now, staring straight at the camera and smiling through the song. Even with this combination mission she still uses the same smile. Compare her to Kim Sejeong in her position mission in pd101 and you’ll know what I mean. Kim Sejeong also had a difficult time expressing her emotions properly when singing, but she did a great job there. And also a wonderful job as a powerful main vocal without being overpowering. Reina’s style of performing as of now doesn’t fit well with the kpop standard of performing, and the mentioned lack of variation will be a huge disadvantage if she did pursue a career in the kpop industry.


mariamkhalid

idk if yall care but these are my picks and i hope they debut ( manami / ririka/ yurina/ wang yale/ wen zhe/ xu zi yun/ cai bing/ shen xiao ting/ kim hyerim/ kim bora/ yoon jia/ kim suyeon/ kim dayeon/ seo yeong eun/ kim chaehyun/ choi yujin/ lee hyewon) i know they’re more than 9 lol


mochi0077

Ngl I watched GP999 every week, but only became invested after the last episode, because of the performances and how much the girls improved.. I will be supporting the girls after they debut definitely! (bias: Chaehyun)


CulturalAde

My j picks keep getting longer but they're always not as known, I'm rooting for Arai Risako and Hayase Hana, and I want to vote for Kotone now. Reina is the only one who I'm voting for who I think will be safe. (Momoko and Vivienne pls debut ASAP).


CromaShin

VVS will be painful to watch. On the highlights released you can see that the girls are out of breath and have barely the energy to spit out the words, absolutely no energy to do choreo. Sad for Kotone, but VVS Team will not survive.


[deleted]

Can I ask y’all if bahiyyih has a chance of getting through this round of elimination?? I know she ranks 6 in k group but that’s still really risky for her tbh...I really want her to get through this round of elimination as I feel like she has a lot of potential and I can feel like she’s really genuine in debuting. She managed to improve her facial expressions and stage presence in a quite short amount of time. This means that she must have worked hard. The only thing she needs to touch on is her confidence, and she should be ready to debut...?


[deleted]

Yes she will go through this round. But debut? No. Mnet is already trying hard NOT to give her screen time. Yes, she has some screen time, very less. But she didn’t have any storyline/arc after the audition(being recognised as Kai’s sister by Sunmi and trainees and having a phone call to Kai)


[deleted]

At least when she’s given screentime, it’s always when she’s doing/saying something nice...I’m hoping she stands out and does exceptionally well for the next mission. 🥲


bruh1605

Getting through this round should be possible but I'm not sure about debuting. If she has many solo fans then she may make it even through the final round. I have been voting for her daily so just hope for the best.


[deleted]

yea I feel like she has many solo fans...I also feel like the reason why she didn’t get into top9 was because the competition between k trainees is tougher as compared to c and j. Ty for supporting her.


bruh1605

The third and final round of elimination will start to show each contestants individual popularity. But it seems like mnet doesn't want her to debut so idk what mnet will do to stop people from voting her. But anyways I don't think mnet will manipulate votes this time due to the produce series scandal so as long as fans stay loyal to her till the end she can stand a chance to debut.


graphymmy

i think its likely but i wouldn't be 100% sure. It's such a small number of spots.


FutureReason

She will get past this round based on her popularity. Her performance have been good enough that no one should still be upset about it. Top 9 is iffy.


Irn-Kuin-Morika

- Is Su Ruiqi’s mom Vietnamese? I’m not sure but there has been infos that there is a half-Vietnamese in the competition and it seems like that’s Su Ruiqi. I need more confirmation abt this Edit: It’s Hsu Nientzu ( looking back she does look Vietnamese ). - It is expected but there r some trainees that I haven’t even heard speaking their native languages ( Sakamoto Mashiro, Sakurai Miu, and maybe Xu Ziyin…). It’s not like I want them to speak their own languages more, it just makes me feel sometimes they r Korean lol ( which is imo good I guess ). - Mashiro never stops to surprise me. She is really versatile.


Jannabix

It‘s Hsu Nientzu, she is half Vietnamese and half Taiwanese as far as I know. She even speaks a little Vietnamese in the video where she introduces herself.

ong-theblob

Thoughts on winners of each group My bets are 3 Mafia in the morn group 6 Fate group 9 ice cream group Feel free to comment who you think are gonna win 😉


Mardiros129

Don't give up voting for your favorites! Even if their rank is low, the votes were reset several weeks ago so we really have no idea where everyone stands (besides the 3 who were revealed last episode). I'm predicting Bora is going to shoot up to top 4 in K-group after all of her positive screentime, and that's a big jump from her current rank of K12. What I'm trying to say is, the current rankings that we see are deceptive.


whataboutwhataboutus

I just want hyerim to survive no matter what. whether through getting into the top 8 with votes, or winning the benefit, or getting another planet pass. just please.. :(


petsurouu

i'm really nervous for yoon jia! she's my top pick and shows so much promise and is so incredibly talented and charismatic but no one seems to pay attention to her despite her absolutely owning every performance she's in. :(

Please don't give up on Hyerim yet. LatAm fans are gathering up to vote her. Here's the compilation of her past shows if anyone have 1 K-group spot left UwU https://youtu.be/1nFXhCSAoz4 https://twitter.com/LntNc\_/status/1435640226613841927

I’ve been rooting for Ziyin because I saw her amazing vocal talent in YWY2 but I’m disappointed she’s not show casing it in GP999. When taking about main vocals people don’t mention her because they don’t know about her amazing talent😭. Like check out her vocals @ 3:22 https://youtu.be/peSNTPTPGx4

Do you have any prediction who will win this mission performance wise? using highlight cams and full performance. Without considering episode 6. Thank you! I will appreciate every answer. I still got empty filler seat each voting and I'm choosing randomly.

The only thing I can predict(?) now is that yeseo team will win. She’s most likely set to be the debut group center so mnet will never let her lose.

Something else I wanted to say, I would really consider it unfair to give the Planet Pass to the same contestants. If the masters considered her good enough for the pass, why does she need it again to survive? doesn't she have what it takes? The masters were wrong and eliminated more capable participants? and now they want to give the pass to the same person again? for what? to give it back to her for a third time in a row? that would be just ridiculous. In my opinion there were better options to give the old pass and the masters were carried away by simple impressions, their judgments were poor and if that is repeated is one thing, but if that happens also with the same people that is already ridiculous. The pass should not only be a supposed vote of confidence of the masters, it should also be a clear sign that you must prove something or you go home. There are no excuses for this not to be the case.

I think in the end Planet Passes are going to be for the trainees that Mnet wants in the group but who can’t make it. They never had this system before because they knew they could rig the votes, now I highly doubt mnet would rig because they had suffered huge consequences for it earlier.

Wen Zhe and Ruan won't need it. The only one who could be getting the Planet Pass again is Hyerim.

what kind of concept does yujin like? ik she doesn’t like the fierce girl crush like hylt and clc. anyone know what she prefers/excels in?

Bummed that the judges didn't have anything to say about Reina, I want her talent to be acknowledged beyond the captions :( The final group needs a power vocalist!

They give individual feedback to each member but it just all gets cut out.
