Now we know it was all rigged. But i believe hyewon's rank was true like she was painted as the next sohye and got tons of support (like chowon's rise). She made it into top 12 in the final isnt even suspicious at all cause she WAS super popular 😂 The fall of Miyu tho, was suspicious.

2024-06-21 11:42:05 +0000 UTCCorrect me if I am wrong. It was been a while I could not recall 100%. I believed the vote method was changed from first time. first time every day you can vote for 3 girls but second time everyday only can vote for one girl, that made dramatically different resault.

2024-06-16 15:31:21 +0000 UTCEliminated in this episode: #31: Go Yujin left BBC pretty soon after the show (good) and joined 8D Creative (OnlyOneOf and Hyewon's company). She was rumored to eventually debut with Hyewon but that never happened and she also ended up leaving 8D, giving up on the idol career. She started her Youtube channel in 2020: https://www.youtube.com/@meeowyu In 2022 she changed her name to Ko Liha and in 2023 she started to work as a DJ. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/me_ow_yu #32: Son Eunchae joined Choyeon at A Team Entertainment and debuted as the main rapper and main dancer of bugAboo in 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU7ZmbUs9Zo Unfortuntely, while Ryan Jhun is a pretty good producer, he's an absolutely shit Kpop company CEO and so his first and only group only ever got one comeback before they disbanded out of nowhere. Apparently she signed a contract with Carrie TV in 2023 but who or what that is and what this means, I have no idea. Eunchae is not very active on Instagram these days either: https://www.instagram.com/smile_unchae #33: Chiba Erii returned to AKB48 where she continues to be active to this day. More importantly, she was part of the song Wakariyasukute Gomen (rough trans: “Sorry for being so obvious”), which only featured AKB idols that participated in Produce 48: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsyO622SAfI In 2019 Erii also participated in the reality shot UHSN (유학소녀, meaning Study Abroad Girl) where 10 girls from different countries got to experience the Kpop idol life for a few weeks. They released one song called Popsicle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_dqiyxZO_Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eriierii_1027 #34: Kojima Mako returned to AKB48 until her graduation in May 2019. Before that she also participated in the song Wakariyasukute Gomen. After graduating she launched her own fashion brand called Haluhiroine: https://www.instagram.com/haluhiroine_official Parallel to that she also started a Youtube channel for beauty and fashion content: https://www.youtube.com/@makochannel7283 She got married to Japanese actor Kido Yuya in January. Her personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makochan_2525 #35: Yoon Haesol became a member of AQUA together with Yu Sua and Kim Sihyeon (not the Everglow one) from PD101 S1. They only released one song called Log In: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r9DqkWrBlY Her current whereabouts are unknown as she hasn't updated her Instagram since 2019: https://www.instagram.com/yoonhaesol_ #36: Bae Eunyoung's current status is unknown. #37: Nakanishi Chiyori returned to AKB48 until her graduation in August 2023. She also participated in the song Wakariyasukute Gomen. These days she's active as a Youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/@chiyocyannel Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sukiyaki_daisuki512 #38: Muto Tomu returned to AKB48 until her graduation in March 2023. And you could probably guess it, she was also on Wakariyasukute Gomen. Next to her idol activities, she is also a certified weather presenter. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tommuto_official #39: Sato Minami returned to AKB48 but has recently announced her graduation and will be holding her final performance on July 1st. Of course she was on Wakariyasukute Gomen. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sato_minami16th #40: Iwatate Saho returned to AKB48 where she continues to be active to this day. Between May 2019 and April 2022 she was also Captain of Team B. Wakariyasukute Gomen. Next to her idol activities she's also studying Political Studies at Chuo University. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saho_iwatate104 #41: Yamada Noe returned to NGT48 until her graduation in February 2022. Even though she wasn't technically in AKB48 directly, she also participated in Wakariyasukute Gomen. So, it pains me to say this because Noe was really funny and likable on this show but in truth, she might not have been a really good person at all. You might remember that under episode 5 I talked about the case of the assault of Yamaguchi Maho. According to one source, Noe was one of the people who encouraged the attack. She was also accused of bullying within the group and bullying Maho especially. I can't 100% confirm these claims but I still thought I should at least mention it. Noe has also completely left the entertainment industry after her graduation, though she still posts on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/noe.1007 #42: Asai Nanami returned to AKB48 until her graduation this past January. Between April 2022 and October 2023 she also acted as Captain of Team B, being the direct successor of Iwatate Saho. Nanami was also the last ever Captain of Team B as the individual teams were dissolved afterwards and the members consolidated under the general AKB48 umbrella. Nanami was also part of the “AKB48 Regular Members” until her graduation. Oh yeah, and before I forget, of course she was on the Wakariyasukute Gomen song as well. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naamin48_ #43: Kim Sohee made her debut in August 2019 as a member of Rocket Punch with the debut single Bim Bam Bum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0306kjwhO-8 You probably already know the other two RCPC members that competed on PD48 but we'll get to them soon. Sohee is actually the only member of the group to not have her own Instagram account. #44: Kim Minseo graduated from Suwon Science Academy and is seemingly no longer pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. #45: Murakawa Vivian (or Bibian as she actually seems to call herself) returned to HKT48 until her graduation in November 2022. She also joined the AKB song Wakariyasukute Gomen. In March 2023 she redebuted in a new Jpop group called Candy Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYzZdo3s1Ww Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/murakawabibiann #46: Kim Hyunah is now working as a DJ: https://www.instagram.com/hyunah__95 #47: Kim Suyun made her debut as a member of Rocket Punch together with Kim Sohee. Which gives me the chance to promote one more song from them, so here's Bouncy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqggrSpICM0 And as you know, last year Suyun was one of the members who also participated in Queendom Puzzle (she ALMOST made it into EL7Z UP, she got 8th place). Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suyxnun #48: Lee Haeun has left MNH some time around 2021. I'm not sure if she's still pursuing an idol career. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i_ha.eun #49: Aramaki Misaki returned to HKT48 where she continues to be active to this day. Also participated in Wakariyasukute Gomen. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirun.jellyfish.0128 #50: Kim Choyeon made her debut as the leader of bugAboo, together with Son Eunchae. And yeah like I said, they only ever got one comeback before they were disbanded for no good reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpe00DHN3r4 They could have been so great... Choyeon apparently also signed that same contract with Carrie TV, just like Eunchae but again, no idea what that entails. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimchoyeon.official #51: Lee Yujeong joined Cube Entertainment and made her debut in June 2021 as a member of LIGHTSUM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d74cH816kFQ But we all know how shit Cube is and they've really not been doing much with Lightsum over the past few years. I mean, a grand total of 15 songs in three years? Come on now. #52: Motomura Aoi returned to HKT48 until her graduation in July 2023. Between April 2017 and February 2023 she also acted as Captain of Team KIV. Like all the Japanese contestants eliminated in this episode, she was on Wakariyasukute Gomen as well. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aoi0531.m #53: Park Minji made it one round further than on season 1 but was still eliminated. She made her debut when she was added to SECRET NUMBER for their second comeback Fire Saturday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2anE5ekyQKY #54: Yu Minyoung is working as a freelance model: https://www.instagram.com/zeroiit #55: Park Seoyoung made her debut as an indie soloist in 2020 under the stage name ROYA: https://www.youtube.com/@Rare_and_Odd_Young_Asian-girl She doesn't have any music videos though, it's all just audio. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/royapark #56: Wang Ke debuted in the independent Chinese girl group AIM in October 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlJlb6Hk_90 She also competed in this year's Chuang Asia: Thailand, which is sort of the Thai version of Produce. She finished in 6th place and will be debuting as a member of Gen1es later this year. This group is expected to promote for three years. They already released a pre-debut song called Lucky Bell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeHxCEqPkck Wang Ke's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wangke0_ #57: Cho Gahyeon has left Starship and is now working as a dancer and dance instructor. She's been a backup dancer for NCT on several different occasions. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xgxh.27 left the show: Matsui Jurina's health problems were probably quite serious because not only did she leave the show, she went on a full hiatus for two months. She finally returned on September 6th with a suprise appearance at the SKE48 Theater. Jurina graduated from SKE48 in April 2021 with a big graduation concert at Nippon Gaishi Hall. However, due to the ongoing pandemic at the time, the venue was only filled to half capacity. She still continues to be a public figure on TV and is now also the playing manager (and a member) of KLP48, an all-new Malaysian sister group to AKB48. They were only announced on January 1st of this year and have yet to debut. Guess the almost 13 years in SKE48 were not quite enough for her after all :D Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jurinamatsui3

2024-06-16 14:58:37 +0000 UTCcool it seems that some of us saw IVE in concert this year. It's always cool to see that we can enjoy this kind of event live and not just on You Tube. This is what allows our favorite artists to release their work and share with their fanbase. Yujin was one can get tired in Paris (she was coming back from the filming of Earth arcade season 3) during the concert Lesseo and Rei I was pleasantly surprised Lesseo was much less shy than usual and seemed really very happy to be on stage and Rei seemed even more adorable in real life, of course Yujin and Wonyoung were absolutely magnificent, really very beautiful, and Liz is becoming more and more confident, her voice live is something, happy for you Marcel, that's 2 concerts for you in 1 month. if I remember correctly with that of IU??

2024-06-15 08:34:44 +0000 UTCSo I just saw IVE live in concert yesterday. Holy shit Yujin. She is unbelievable. And now I basically go back to her origins again here on PD48. - The almost 2 year long hiatus after Pirate REALLY hurt Everglow. Yuehua is just so catastrophically shit at promoting Everglow. They just recently had their 5 year anniversary and they still don't have a lightstick and only 30 songs to their discography. The thing is, Yuehua ONLY looks at the numbers. Tempest sells massively better than Everglow so they're the ones who get constant comebacks and support from the company. Yena is not quite up there with Tempest but still sells way better than Everglow and she also has much more frequent comebacks and even got her own lightstick already, despite her solo debut coming 3 years after Everglow's. In her 2 years as a soloist she already has 22 songs in her discography. In the same time Everglow only got two comebacks and a collab single, totalling 7 songs. - Oh shit Eden is on this? That's Ateez's main producer! - Even if all ten people on the same song survive the elimiations, that still doesn't mean they would all actually get to perform it. Half of them would still have to move to another song since there will be only 5 people on each song. - You definitely have a type and their name is Yujin. Understandable, An Yujin had me in a chokehold yesterday. - Damn, even Choi Youngjun is scared of Bae Yoonjung 😂 - Suyun pulling an Mnet on Chiyori - Holy shit Moe really dropped in her ranking. How does this even happen? - And what a rise for Haeyoon. - Matsui Jurina completely dropped out of the show due to her health condition at the time. - 1st place for Wonyoung just makes sense. I got to really feel that yesterday at the IVE concert too. - Nako was 17 years old at the time of this episode. - Paying my respects to Go Yujin 🫡 - Some very big losses in this episode.

2024-06-14 22:08:47 +0000 UTC- the fall of Kaeun or that of Sakura like that of Moe was very suspicious for me. Hyewon's arrival in the top 4 was also quite strange. but the worst was the elimination of Goo Yoo-jin, Cho-yeon or Hae-sol really I saw them at least reaching the top 30 or even top 20

2024-06-13 22:29:48 +0000 UTC- yes it's so sad for Everglow all this is the fault of their agencies which for unknown reasons ruined their careers. At their peak Everglow was on par with (G)IDLE, ITZY and IZ*ONE in terms of popularity, they even had more views than (G)IDLE or IZ*ONE. but after Adios and Dun Dun they disappeared for too long which allowed the 3 other groups to take over. their agencies do not know how to promote themselves. he gives them jobs that are usually given to the group that is a bit outdated or too old - the next round is going to be incredible the song Rumor is so cool really incredible the lyrics, the choreography, the vibe everything is very cool. DG i think Rumor as the potential to be you're favorite. but Rollin Rollin is also super fun and bubbly. - I think it's one of the best ideas, if not the best, that the Produce series has to offer us. broadcast the songs and concepts on the internet in advance and let us decide who we want to see perform on that song. frankly I liked all the songs and at the time I had rated each girl and marked in which song I thought they could be highlighted. the final result was a little different from mine but in reality it was very good . - my god it's so rare to see Wonyoung cry and Yujin doesn't seem to feel the pressure I think in her entire career it's the only time I've seen her cry. so everyone can have a bad day and she was really very young. - frankly in the Rumor team many people can shine like Center Shi-hyun she shine in every concept of Everglow on zombie her intro is sick, Kwon Eunbi fit the position of course Sian could be a good choice but Go Yoo-jin would have been amazing . - my god the more we advance in the show and the more incredible the teams are when you see the number of stars in Team I' AM, Rumor or Rollin we are no longer in Avengers teams but in galactic entity teams -Yena is the centerpiece of Team I'am at this age she was already an all rounder with a lot of charisma, self-confidence and she was already very funny. of course Kaeun carries the team with his experience and maturity, and Yujin brings his freshness and popularity. of course Chaeyeon, Juri, Sae or Miu are also very popular -the 1000% team has a lot of very good members that the public totally ignores girls like Hae-sol, Haeun or Suyun I was so sad for these girls at the time I saw them go further. for Miho she is obviously very talented but I will talk about her in another episode. - obviously 27 million votes is huge for a survival show, it's as if half the country had voted. yes we knew 2 and a half years after the vote had been manipulated. because season 4 was completely rigged and the group canceled. this was the end of the produce series. and the arrival of GP and BP and it was seen that the manipulation started from the semi-final. but in this episode of elimination full of things my strange appearance of the ultra popular Japanese fell like Goto Moe of the Korean that we had very little seen gained dozens of places. and others like Go (Yoo-jin lost places in a very strange way.) but I will talk about the real results during the final for the moment we will let it pass. it was different from GP 999 as you said DG certain Girls like Fu ya-ning were portrayed as "villains". hence the fall in their rankings. but Goto Moe was always featured on the show and people really liked him. at the time I just said to myself ok let's get down to business, we're no longer just voting for girls we like but for girls we like and who have talent and Moe still had a lot of shortcomings. so I was not surprised that it dropped in the ranking but rather that it lost so much place. - yes Jurina completely left the show in the previous round. the thing is that if she stayed in the produce program she was afraid of losing her first place in the AKB48 elections she simply gave up because she knew that she would not have the good role in Produce 48 and that a good ten Japanese woman was more popular than her. This created rumors and conflicts. but in the end she won the number 1 prize and was named number 1 of the AKB unit. For many she no longer deserved it and for others it was the right thing to do. - so happy for Chowon she deserves it the biggest roller coaster in the history of produce. guys give a little light and love to the group Lightsum the little sisters of (G)IDLE Chowon and Sangha are so talented Sangha is literally a little Soyeon. I would like Soyeon to write songs for them.

2024-06-13 22:16:12 +0000 UTC- Wow, most of those snippets sound REALLY nice. - We had the viewers pick a song for the girls before on another show. And on that show were some girls who were a little bit disappointed because they wanted to show a different side of them. But since these girls here are all trainees, I'm glad that nobody seems to have those kind of "problems". - Whenever something involves hand-raising 🙋, I always try to formulate my question in a way that the ones NOT raising their hand are INcluded. So in this case the question would be "who does NOT want to be the center?". People tend to be shy, or think it's somehow disrespectful to raise their hand, so reformulating your question often helps. - I also would include everyone in the voting (but can't vote yourself), preferably written down so you can't be influenced. That way you have more votes, which increase accuracy and ppl have a higher chance of getting at least 1 vote. - You fell for yet another Yujin? 😆 Well, I guess we should've seen this one coming. - "Are you crying?". Let's all look at her. I'm sure that will help 😅 - Yeah, I love seeing the trainers giving them tips. - It was also fun to see Chiroyi practice singing and looking like she's giving birth at the same time 😂 - Goto Moe. That's a big jump indeed. But remember that the previous votes were reset. - "By becoming 1st she got an extra 5k votes". What's 5k votes gonna do on 500k votes? 😬 - Yeah, the dialogue at 1.5x is manageable, as well as the subs. - Jurina left after ep5. I'm reading now that she had collapsed on stage and around the same time was voted #1 for something in Japan. So, that's probably the cause of the controversy. - Yes, there are big jumps, but because they awarded a few ppl 100k points, plus the reset, I expected this much. - IT'S OVER 1 MILLION! Does that make Wonyoung the youngest, the tallest, and now the highest ranked? - Hey Yoojin, this song fits you so well, it's like it was made for you. I can't wait to see you perform it! Oh wait... 😖 - How I feel about Hyewon's big increase? Let's just say I would've chosen quite a few other girls over her...
