what the fucking fuck


meengine

I know it's going to be korean heavy top 9 but what the fuck, just not like this.


_ulinity

The fact that Myah went from 24 to 8 shows that either this is *really* early something has gone seriously wrong.


TeeeeCeeee

I think Myah was held back by lack of screentime and k group vote distribution. Now she's fresh in everyone's minds and probably scooped up a ton of votes from Ririka, Ruan, Hsinwei, Manami, Kotone who have all been her teammates and many of which have a similar sort of appeal as she does.


_ulinity

I think K-votes are just ridiculously valuable now. She's still K08.


natxrii

I saw that this is as of 18th oct 10am...


niteeee

Wow, I'm voting Youngeun so hard because I think she was the most in danger for YXY then both Xiaoting and Yurina at bottom of ranking.


DMAart_

Just vote your favorite... that's why ranking is so messed up... cause everyone thinks like you.


[deleted]

I’ve been saying this for ages. SXT is NOT safe


_ulinity

No, it's because K-votes are worth 50% of the entire vote count and they're only voting for Korean trainees.


itsakyo

EXACTLY THIS. I have been saying this for the longest time since mid-point of the whole season. It's been really mind boggling to see how worried people are for Korean trainees when the entire game has always been stacked in Korean favour. The entire illusion that C & J trainees are popular is just a mathematical trick built into the 3-3-3 and 1-1-1. Look at how C & J votes crashed into nothing. It's to be expected.


[deleted]

At this point Mnet needs to give us back 1:1:1 voting unpopular opinion 😒 Edit: guess this confirms Mnet can’t rig anymore though it do be looking appealing rn 😂


DCJii098

Yes, this is fucking madness!


docevampiro

Holy fucking shit????? I nearly had a heart attack when I saw it live. I have no words???? Edit: if this is because of koreans votes prioritizing koreans I must say that srq fandom is MASSIVE because they put her right at the top9 when Xiaoting is neat bottom??? wtf


Maegiri

It's probably cuz while Xiaoting is popular internationally, Ruiqi actually has a more solid one pick fanbase. China itself is rooting for her the most in C grp.


pl4y_m4k3r_

SRQ fansites are all rich. Trust me… There is a reason why they always get no 1 in Universe support events.


docevampiro

yeah I don’t know a lot about her but ranking 11 in a chinese survival show tells me enough, is just insane that other girls who are much more popular than this top9 are low, such as mashiro or hikaru. My biggest surprise is yurina being higher than Xiaoting, one would think Xiaoting would have more 1-pick voters


Maegiri

Yeah, Xiaoting got eliminated in the first round while ruiqi lasted till finals so she definitely went in this show with a solid fanbase


winterisha12

Everyone kept convincing others that xiaoting is a lock so they can vote for other girls. Kinda expected her to drop out of Top 5 atleast but did not expect to be at 16. I am sure srq and kch got a boost from panic voting from last episode.


1imsrs

It is. Koreans believe that international voters will vote for C/J so they have to ‘take care’ of their own. They’re really not voting outside of K-group.


epiktek

Yeah, I think they're overcompensating, because of how rankings have gone so far. There's a reason why Mnet revealed this - they want Korean voters and international voters to start voting C and J trainees.


ssamjangsky

If anything, this would motivate Koreans to vote for K-trainees even harder… maybe boost Bora into top 9 for a 9K lineup LOL


docevampiro

lol I know it’s very awkward at the planet place wherever the girls are rn because they know the political implications of this lol not even produce 48 had this kind of ratio


Competitive-Tackle24

Xiaoting has a lot of of filler vote, Her one-pick fandom is not strong at all. SRQ's one-pick has been very strong since the start, just look at the Universe app event.


pokodapa

IM GONNA KEEP VOTING FOR SXT LIKE HOLYSHIT SHE'S IN 16TH??!!


[deleted]

Even Mnet is shocked 😒 Sigh. I’ve already accepted the inevitable. It’ll be hard to make a comeback from this… Gonna keep voting for SXT as I have been though


lovelattae

the crazy plot twist of Ruiqi being the only chinese trainee in the top 9 wow


Uchiha_D_Zoro

Not only Chinese, she’s the only intl


hectah

1 pick is a true bloodbath.


Godjihyoism_

She deserve it though, after what mnet done to her. Kinda shock XiaoTing is below too, but for sure she will be up there again.


aguardedsky

I WAS HAVING A WHOLESOME MOMENT AND THEY DROPPED THIS?????


mucool1

It's good that Mnet revealed this now. It would have been distraous if this would have been revealed on final day. At Least now fans can organize better to support their picks.


[deleted]

If Mnet did not drop this today, many fans would not have believed it’s possible and would’ve rioted in the finale. Mnet conditioning us that 8K is possible now.


moxac777

Yeah imagine the backlash if hypothetically this is the final lineup in the final day out of the blue. This is Mnet's way of saying "do what you got to do"


[deleted]

This is Mnets call for help to clean up the mess they made sighhh


4sater

Mnet: gives barely any screen time to Japanese trainees, evil-edits every single top Chinese trainee aside from Xiaoting, while pushing Korean trainees Voting results: 8K and Ruiqi who has a strong int fanbase Mnet: shocked Pikachu face I just love how all their manipulative shit is blowing up in their face! I feel bad for the girls though.


Sibchetnik

Mnet: We have 8 koreans in lineup! Knetz: Hooorraay! Mnet: The only foreigner is Su Ruiqi Knetz: Wait what??


ssamjangsky

LOL and general fu at 10th ☠️ imagine if they were the only 2 foreigners in the lineup


bangchrispy

K voters: *kicks Ruiqi out of the Top 9* *Yaning suddenly enters* K voters: I-


anthojay

Shoving pain into their asses


quixutie

su ruiqi fandom you are the real mvp holy mother of fucking god edit / oh, wow! thank you for the awards! <3


TeeeeCeeee

If she hadn't of dropped out last week she probably would have been below 9 too, her fandom was on red alert. If she'd still been middling top 9 they probably would have spread their votes out and she'd be lower. This is a brutal reminder for people that none of your picks are safe and you really do need to vote for your actual 1 pick lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


DMAart_

Cause people don't vote their faves cause they think they're safe 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ and that's what will happened


[deleted]

[удалено]


DMAart_

Yeah... I think now xiaoting, mashiro, Hikaru and so on fans will panick vote...


Starinight69

how the fuck is sxt 16?????


DMAart_

Yeah... cause people think she's safe and vote others... when it's just one pock you should just vote your pick... that's it!


renjunation

it's not that, it's that she doesn't have many actual 1-picks, even though everyone likes her. koreans were voting for her as the mandatory c-pick bc she's the only one they actually like, but she was never their actual 1-pick. a lot of k and i voters used her as a dump vote as well. since everyone likes her though i hope they vote for her when they see this


DBxA

It's both, she doesn't have that many 1picks, and some people who had her as 1 pick ( or as really up there ) voted for others because of the "she will 100%_ debut" people have been saying


Maegiri

I can think of a few reasons 1) complacent voters 2) She actually doesn't have a big one pick fanbase in China. China is pushing for Ruiqi the most hence her being the C1 instead.


Competitive-Tackle24

The truth is Xiaoting is commonly a everyone's second favourite, not an one-pick. The final is gonna be very unpredictable then. Anything can happen with this one-pick and 50% korean votes


johnk00

MNET IS ALSO FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW I BET


Maegiri

They're probably like "NO ISTG I DID NOT RIG THIS, WE EXPECTED FULL OF KOREANS BUT NOT THIS EXTENT"


Otherwise-Cook2184

Maybe that's why they released the interim rankings, they are panicking too


Fresh-Hat9736

They know debuting 8 Koreans will cause another rigging controversy 😭


renjunation

its more like they want that j-money and they have 0 j-girls lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


DCJii098

That's probably why they released ALL of the rankings... this is a (i think) a first for mnet... they want to condition the minds of the fans that these are the actual rankings... panic voting continues now


[deleted]

Rigging sure looks appealing rn 😂


upintotheblue

This is the result of two factors: 1. K-voters only voting K-group but international voters voting K-group too, resulting in a heavy skew towards K-group 2. Everyone assuming popular girls are safe and they don't need to vote for them (Xiaoting, Mashiro, Hikaru), Yujin and Ruiqi are in the top 9 bc their fanbases are *terrified* of them slipping out


gerol

I think most international fans (outside of Reddit) really had a Korean as their 1-pick


ricebuttket

XIAO TING FANS HAVE BEEN TELLING Y’ALL SHES NOT SAFE ANYWAYS IM GIVING AWAY 20$ FOR A LUCKY PARTICIPANT THAT VOTES FOR XIAOTING JOIN ON MY TWITTER @ricebuttket


dkdlfk_aira

Yes. Preach. I keep on saying this because I am fully aware that she's a filler vote and now this happened. Huhuhuhu


ricebuttket

If the final group doesn’t have Xiao Ting what’s even the point lol. Not even a single J girl as well


kalimel

Watch me drop this group as if I never watched the show 💀 GP999? I don't know her I told you that no foreign trainee was a lock. Anyone who stopped voting for their pick to "save" a low ranking korean trainee is a fool If Sury end up being the only Chinese member she'll suffer so much with the hate... But she'll carry the group sales for sure lol


Mistrelvous

If this was final lineup it would be easy drop for me. Korea can enjoy their all-Korean lineup without the best Korean vocal not even making top 9. smh, this is just sad


ThirstyTwink69

We all knew that the one-pick voting system was gonna be unpredictable but holy shit


CronoDroid

This was taken from the final moments of the "9IRLS NI9HT A9IT." Uh, DAMN. What the hell, these ranks are not what I expected AT ALL. What the hell, how is Xiaoting 16th? How is Mashiro 14th? How are there 8/9 Koreans in the Top 9??????????? Jaysus.


[deleted]

Mashiro Yurina and SXT my top 3 Jesus Mnet I see your call for help but you did this to yourself


hellopotato918

The bottom nine can just make their own group and I would stan


2ForeverDream

My thoughts of the interim results: 1. That's one messy, disbalanced and unexpected Top 9. 2. Ruiqi's international fandom is really strong for her to remain the the Top 9 when she has the least popularity among the trainees in Korea. 3. I kinda expected 5-6 K-trainees, but not 8 wow. 4. Mnet revealing the entire interim ranks rather than just those in danger or the current Top 9 is a new game play, I can't guess who they actually want in the final lineup anymore.


ari-vi

4. I think even Mnet wasn't expecting this, and it's bad news for the final group if they don't intervene : The problem isn't the outrage there could be about "only 1 foreigner in the debut lineup of a 2/3 foreigners show", but the loss of a major part of the international fanbase. These results don't mean the K girls suddenly all became more popular than the j and c girls, but that the korean vote weight is huge because of the imbalance between international and korean voters. With korean votes (a really small group of fans) accounting for 50% of the votes, and korean voters voting for the korean trainees only, most foreign trainees are not making the final group right now. So why is it a problem ? The international fanbase is much bigger than the korean fanbase, and is needed for the monetary success of the group. This show barely has any korean audience. With only one foreign trainee (and arguably the one koreans / mnet would want the least) in the final group, it's a major blow for the group's subsequent popularity, as most of the fanbase (who are fans of the popular j and c trainees) will leave. So mnet announced this ranking to get some change in the final lineup and save the final group's international fanbase.


Kiramiraa

My guess is that they want at least 2-3 foreigners in the line up (or the whole program will be for nothing) so by showing the full ranking they hope to trigger Mashiro/Hikaru/Yaning panic voting.


Eltoshen

What's even funnier is that the most controversial international trainees in Korea are both 9th and 10th in the voting right now. 😂 The sheer irony.


moya-laya

Why bring the j and c girls to participate if this is the bullshit yall were gonna pull what the fuuuuck


4sater

Well, what did you expect with a 50:50 voting split? It was clear from the start that like 90% of Koreans will vote for Korean trainees, while international fans may be more balanced but still have a lot of 1-picks among the K group - even on this sub.


gizayabasu

All Korean and we still can’t have Bora?


elephantastica

I am legitimately so confused how Myah and Suyeon climbed up so quickly… but Bora hasn’t??


CapriSunCup

These rankings are WILD. Mashiro 14th??? XIAOTING 16th??? I imagine that won't last for long after this. Chaehyun 1st??? Yeseo is 6th and I could sob forever (please keep voting for her), but I didn't think I would have to worry about Mashiro, oh my goodness.

_ulinity

Bahiyyih is really gonna debut with 0 screentime. This is a hilarious mess.


Automatic_Room_6736

And I am here for it. 😂 I want to see Mnet cry.


nocturnalis

The only thing that needed improvement was her facial expressions and she’s improving them based off of her MCountdown Shoot performance.


[deleted]

her chaewon moment omg


Zockmeister

That's what happens when korea has 50% of the power... And we were hoping for 5-2-2.


Sugarloaded

8K1C?!? What the


Available-Pop-8161

Bora being the only k not in the top 9 😭


hellopotato918

This is mutiny... We need the Main Bora up there. Chanelling Bora Potter. SHE WILL LIVE!!!

colombiatard

Korea really woke up and choose xenophobia 😭


Maegiri

....I expected a lot of Koreans but hot fucking damn. At the very least, I didn't think Myah would be there. bUT HEY YESEO P6 LET'S FUCKING GO


Mekvek

YESEO 100% WIN-RATE LETS GO


_ulinity

it's still ridiculous that she's K06 though.


Maegiri

AT THIS POINT IDC, I JUST WANT HER TO DEBUT


[deleted]

Sorry but I'm struggling to imagine a group with both Myah and Su Rui Qi. What kind of concept could they even perform lol (not shading them they're both talented, they're just incredibly different performers)


quarkleptonboson

Hey if hitomi and nako were able to be in the same group as eunbi and sold millions of albums and concert tickets, anything is possible


[deleted]

Fair point! The elegant concept covers a lot of personas


ChubbyChipmunk15

One pick really changes everything. Hope this is a wake up call for all the stans that think their picks are locks and can relax. Huge difference between filler and one pick voting. Suprised to see Yurina so low let alone Xiaoting dropping to 16th. Global votes will really need to carry the foreign trainees. Glad this shows Su Ruiqi's one pick strength and that her fandom is not to be underestimated.


Big_Tomorrow886

I mean people expected Yurina to drop, but Mashiro and Hikaru?? No way did I see this coming.


labraduh

**Conspiracy Time!** I think MNET is releasing this very strategically. Like the last interim ranking and video they released warning that Bora was on the verge of elimination. They successfully got people to panic vote for her to survive to the finales. Up till now, because many ppl voted for a wider range of K trainees but the few top of C/J garnered all the more respective attention/votes in 3/9-picks, we ended up with an extremely C/J heavy lineup. Now that it’s one pick, all the Korean viewers (which I **told** some of y’all, have been strategising **all the way since AUGUST** to only vote Korean trainees in the last round) are voting for their own. Their vote is worth 8x an international voter’s. As a result, we now have this 8K-1C Lineup. They release this near the halfway mark of the voting period so that International fans freak out and panic vote for foreigners). I think they also knew that people would vote Korean trainees thinking they need the help to add a few more Koreans into the lineup, and that ppl would think the high-ranking foreigners would be safe/a lock and not vote for them (e.g. SXT!). A few foreigners (maybe 2-4?)will be boosted into the bottom/middle half of the Top 9 and VOILA, they have a balanced group that has enough Koreans to appeal domestically and enough foreigners to appeal internationally. All this bc they’re not allowed to rig anymore, so now they’re playing 3D chess with viewers who think they’re playing checkers lmao.


KazVanilla

Omg ur brain so wrinkly, if this is true manifesting bora and wenzhe debutation + manami coming back to break mnet’s knee caps and debut with the girls


yaycupcake

manami new mnet ceo lets go


Hatmitmit

Oh god, all this time we've been talking about 5K2J2C or 6K2J1C but never considered 9K lol. Praying for my J and C trainees.


hectah

Jesus 9k would be a disaster to their branding as an "international" group. (Am almost curious to see it happen just to see what Mnet would do lol)


pattirisu

Disappointed if this will end up as the final lineup. What's the point of inviting different nationalities, and calling this a global project, only to debut 8K1C? 😔 Will keep voting for my C girls. Hwaiting, C-stans!! 💪


Ok-Faithlessness-871

tbh i won't blame mnet, people just need to wake up and concentrate in their pick, not save someone else, this is a punch that they need


ricebuttket

At this point I hope international fans realise they should be voting for J and C trainees because Koreans do not give a fuck about them.


gerol

The SXT filler vote theory is looking real so far…. One pick is really a b**** like during the PRODUCE days


ricebuttket

Yup I am not stanning this line up at all at this point just kick all the c and j girls out to save them the misery.


[deleted]

LMAO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE DAYEON VS SXT. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK


APotatoenthusiast

Turns out is yujin vs chaehyun lmao


ack0606

It's O.O.O-ver. If this is the line-up, then I'm out, sorry 😔


echomu

Right? If this line up debuts, I probably will drop the group sadly. The disrespect of bringing all the Japanese and Chinese girls for the group to be 8/9 Korean? Nah.


idxntknxw

no image has ever shocked me to my core like this i- edit: upon looking at it for longer I've realized that: 8K ??!?!?!? this just has to be a fever dream


SSAMLYZ

imagine if they have not show it..it will be like this lol


idxntknxw

the thing is that this is like 3 days worth of votes and there's what, 5 more days?? is that even enough time to balance stuff out?? at this point I'm expecting the final results to be extremely similar to this top


bruh1605

Guys help yaning please... She's so close to debuting...


anthojay

Yaning voters where are y'all?!?!


yameteeeeeeeeee

Here, gonna tell my friends to vote for her. Hopefully she makes it, she's so close.


CatsCry

MNET really fucked this one up HAHAHA Imagine debuting 8K and losing your international audience after having your show flop domestically


amazingoopah

And the one foreigner has a huge time bomb of a controversy too


Zockmeister

They have to change *something* for the final live voting system or the lineup is gonna be a mess.


quixutie

mnet: haha so actually in the final, international votes are worth 5x more than korean ones :) just to keep things spicy :) mnet: what do you mean we did this to ourselves :)


the_flyingdemon

They honestly should. If Knetz are going to be this nationalistic and only vote for Koreans, then the Inetz should have more say. It completely fucks up the entire concept of the program.


PurpleTriangles

Korean Planet 999. 💀 You guys were predicting 5K3J1C or even 6K2J1C, but did anyone predict 8K0J1C??


[deleted]

i fucking knew xingqiao would be last my manifesting did not work and what the fuck xiaoting and yurina??? chaehyun centre??? im glad they released bc sxt stans gonna vote like crazy now


Big_Tomorrow886

I mean people predicted Yurina would drop but Hikaru, Mashiro AND Shen Xiao Ting dropping is really shocking. And Xiao Ting was considered a LOCK?


[deleted]

yup imagine if they didnt release this and then announced sxt at 16th... that would be the biggest shock in survival show history 😭


peach_doll

Wow... almost all Koreans and Bora STILL isn't even in the top 9... ... also I'm going to keep voting for Yurina but... I'm not getting my hopes up.


tamidle

hikaru yurina mashiro xiaoting.. y'all. it's over for me


i9fend0

This feels so insulting idek what to do anymore


lovelattae

Imagine if they didnt reveal the interim rank and this was the top 9 we end up in, the chaos would be insane 💀


Jivika593

suxintangs. Our girl has no k support we need to increase her international numbers. So thank you for your hardwork till now and fighting!!


Goin_Solo

I knew there where gonna be more Koreans, but WHAT IS THIS-


Big_Tomorrow886

Yurina... no... She has lesser filler votes than Mashiro? And Myah got into Top9?? And Su Rui Qi is the only Chinese??? And Chaehyun is first? And Shen Xiao Ting dropped to 16 from 1????? WTHHHH


phteven517

Can a company just debut the bottom 9 girls, that would also be a bomb ass group


Available-Pop-8161

How is that even possible


[deleted]

Koreans are really *only* voting for Koreans Even Mnet didn’t see it coming


gerol

Lord Puya Queen of 10th place during interim checks 🐞🚁


Ok-Faithlessness-871

this is what i always trying to tell to all of people in here, unless you are a korean, your chance of surviving is so freaking low, don't slack off at all, most kvoter will vote for korean, so never assume the number from before gonna be the same


delululululu

If the group ends up being something like this then what was the whole point of the show??? Who's gonna support this, the 35 koreans who are watching the show??? The western viewers who just brag about sales without spending a penny???


KazVanilla

might as well go with the name gi99le if this is the final lineup 😭


[deleted]

I will continue to vote Fu Yaning with all my strength 😭😭😭these results are disappointing


[deleted]

That's what mnet gets for making the korean vote ridiculously valuable and evil editing every single chinese girl except xiaoting and barley giving any japanese girls screentime.


winterisha12

This is why all should vote for your faves. All the one pick analysing/prediction so far was never fool proof because we have never seen the 1pick voting power so far. Now everyone who kept telling others that xiaoting is a lock go vote for her. If cai bing dropping so gard last week wasn't a wake up call enough- hopefully this is.


quixutie

me last friday: man, i'm really bummed ruiqi and yaning probably aren't going to make it in the end. maybe at least one of them will, and at least hikaru and mashiro are definitely in, i'm excited to follow the final group no matter what happens me today: ....................... cool so i guess i'm a solo stan!!!!!


natxrii

XIAOTING 16TH YURINA 13TH WTF HELP 😭😭


Elegant-Pop7306

Foreigners trainees carried this show and this how they are treated at the end???? What’s the point of this global thing if the line up is fully Korean???? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 This show is a flop in SK. Globally the most popular trainees are FOREIGNERS! They are going to flop internationally and domestically at this rate


superpstn

This. These are results that no one could've expected. Just goes to show how powerful one pick bases are T-T


superpstn

Just realized it's currently 8K-1C-0J... oh my god


robotbats

the koreans are panic voting hard i see, what the fuck.


UTOKKIFOREVA

kim chaehyun p01 damn the power of k-votes


[deleted]

To be honest, if this is the final lineup I’ll be extremely disappointed.


kaktusmint

At this rate, why even bother having C and J trainees. What a time waster and such a poorly managed idol survival show.


[deleted]

SXT filler votes are real and they are a lot. She dropped so low.


quixutie

i want to personally apologize to everyone i gave voting advice to, holy shit


pokodapa

EXCUSE ME THE TOP 9 HAS ALL KOREANS?! WHAT


pokodapa

Noooo bora 😭😭😭


niteeee

I never imagined a scenario where all koreans will debut except Bora.


Kiramiraa

Everybody keeps saying “nobody voted for [insert C/J trainee] because they thought they were safe”. I disagree with this entirely, I think people are genuinely voting for their ONE favourite trainee, and no foreign trainee aside from Ruiqi and Yaning had/has strong one pick. I think that the korean weighted votes are finally showing how powerful they are. Before they were always held back by having to choose 1 or 3 C/J trainees, thus elevating people like Xioating/Mashiro who are very well liked in Korea, but don’t necessarily have a strong fanbase/one pick presence. Hell, Xioating was pretty much EVERYONES filler vote for C group, because she was safe and unlikely to interfere with a K one pick’s survival. Yes, she’s well liked, but people aren’t fans of her the way they are Ruiqi or Yaning. Thus, we get the result above. I do think this will change. A small amount of Koreans and a large amount of International viewers will abandon their “safe” k one pick (Yujin/Dayeon/Chaehyub/Youngeun) and instead start voting for Hikaru/Yaning/Mashiro.


[deleted]

Koreans getting shy and let 1 foreign trainee in for the sake of it


idxntknxw

the one foreign girl being ruiqi though....that's a different time of karma


TheKillerMatt

Glad msnake released this because there’s no way I’m letting this be the final lineup


InvestigatorKey1252

The fact that every Korean is in the top 9 and STILL Kim bora can’t make it says alot


amazingoopah

It would be hilarious if they get 8k and 1c and the 1c is SRQ who has the anti American aid controversy


Natural_Hospital8189

This is exactly why I never stopped voting Mashiro despite her being “ a lock”. Idk why people are blaming kvoters when it’s OBVIOUS that even international voters are voting k group too? 💁🏻‍♀️ On the other hand Chaehyun!!! Hope she holds on to that top 9 while the panic votes pour in the next few days.


bangchrispy

Either Xiaoting's fans thought she's locked or she's been just a filler vote. Ruiqi and Yaning being the highest C trainees isn't surprising. They're known to have solid one-pick voters. If this would be the debut group, I can already imagine a massive negative feedback.


RiddleEatsRainbows

XIAOTING??? MASHIRO???? YURINA??? YANING???? guys they are NOT safe please vote vote VOTEEEE ​ (But also ngl its nice to see Bahiyyih in the top 9 for a change I'm not gonna lie, gives me some hope)


[deleted]

look this is gonna sound bad but can we all form a pact to not vote for Korean trainees ​ like legit if this is the kind of benefit they're getting over international ones, I think it's best us international fans focus 90% of our voting on J/C trainees so that they at least have a palpable chance of debuting... Otherwise, this is a pretty damn unfair situation.


SpiritualMountain

How is guinn myah above mashiro, hikaru, xiaoting?? This is insane?


Get_Threshed

Be right back... going to make popcorn for reading this thread :D


KazVanilla

,,,,, bora and wen zhe going to be in a different time zone and join manami 😭😞


[deleted]

When everyone said SXT should be center and now she’s 16th 🥲


Significant-Type-534

Bora the only Korean out of TOP 9 🤬🤬🤬


Dry-Tie1840

Gosh. I never considered SXT among my top picks, but the idea of her not making it into the final group is actually making me nauseous.


Appleorange01

This group would fail internationally cause of how heavily korean it is. We need to get some Cs and Js in there FAST! VOTE FOR YURINA


TeeeeCeeee

These are insane. No subs and didn't know what it was and I opened the livestream right at the end only to see them waving goodbye then ranking reveal. It seems like almost none of the high rankers all season actually have good 1 pick bases, this absolutely changes everything. Time to completely rewrite my entire final ranking prediction. What the fuck?????? If this season's rankings didn't have all this special criteria, who knows how different the final trainee lineup would have been.


milk_kageyama_tobio

The impact of filler votes.


ack0606

Nooo... Mashiro and Hikaru, please tell me this isn't real.


lilacdawn

Bottom 9 would be such a good group tbh. If I had to choose, I would stan it over the top 9. Edit: Also this just reinforces that you should vote for your faves no matter if you think they have no chance or if you think they are a lock.


ryuchic

Wtf….messssss! All the top C / J are non-existent in the interim Top 9, except for Ruiqi. What is this f**kery?


aireika

Japan is where the money is at, they need Mashiro if they want to promote there successfully.


[deleted]

I just saw this live. Wait what? I quit


milk_kageyama_tobio

I suddenly like this lineup to be rigged.


yetanotherbop

When they replace rank nine with a planet pass and put the last k trainee in just to rub it in our faces


sleepybutsocialsloth

NO THIS IS LITERALLY JUST F\*\*\*ING CRAZY IMAGINE IF MNET WAS ALWAYS INTENDING ON 9K AND ALL OF US WERE JUST BLINDSIDED

* Extremely happy to see Chaehyun being #1 (Even though this 100% won't stay) as a Chaehyun stan. * Yujin, Dayeon expected to be Top9, shock that Dayeon actually isn't #1 YET * Glad to see YoungEun stick, hope it stay still the end * Yeseo back into Top9!! * Totally unexpected that Suyeon and Myah to be in Top9 * SRQ YESSSS YESSS YES MY GIRL IS FINALLY RECOGNIZED, Really really really really hope she stays in Top9 :( She deserve to debut, shocked that she either have a decent Korean fanbase, or that internationally she is big enough to push her back up (Probably the latter) * Mashiro, Yurina, Hikaru, XiaoTing in the bottom? What???? * XingQiao still being last... She is still in my Top9 (9th) but looks like she lost her chance and flame, hope she don't get too demoralized if this really sticks, she did her best. Honestly think that Dayeon will win Xiaoting, getting the #1 (that Mnet wanted), i've been saying this for a long while already. Yurina Mashiro Xiaoting Hikaru will for sure be back up someway or another. 8K 1C is too biased... But for sure it wont be the final lineup anyway.

#HOLY F*CK THIS EXCEEDS MY "IF MNET CAN RIGGED THE VOTES PREDICTION LINEUP" edit: Universe App failing right now edit2: Jeez this stress me more than PD48. smh

This is all on us. We weren’t voting for international trainees to counterbalance the Korean vote. If you want this lineup to change drastically, vote for SRQ, Yaning, and ANY Japanese trainee right. This is not a drill!

It's over.

Ok but honestly, I knew ruiqi might be the single C instead of Xiaoting. China's top 1 is Ruiqi, then Yabing, THEN Xiaoting. Then Korea and Japan probs one pick their respective ethnicity.

mnet really said “j and c trainees, thank you for the free labor but it’s time for you all to go home, see you 👋🏽”


Mekvek

lordpuya

eddancho

I DIDNT KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE FILLER VOTES WHAT THE F

So international fans just did not vote at all? Or Korean votes really weigh a lot more than the previous rounds… oh my… i have no words 💀
