I would give a kidney to see more than just three global trainees in the debut line up, but I think your predictions were very spot on

i would be so happy if we could get 5K4G but in the first elimination g-trainees will already be wiped out so i dont have a lot of hopes for the debut unfortunately

i hope 4 of them can make it but i know realistically it’ll probably be 2 that actually get to debut 😭

we need anthonny for that "global" thing mnets tryna push like hes born in the philippines, moved to japan and trained in korea and he can speak like 4 languages 😭

Lol me too I only have 3-4 K-trainees for top 9

I think 3 trainees from g proup have possibility to debut. Zhang Hao, Matthew, and Jay. And isn't Matthew is actually korean ?

I feel Like Ricky is underestimated. He managed to have the 8th most viewed fancam despite not being showed a lot on the show (pretty sure he had the least screentime out of the top 9) and he has a pretty steady fanbase. People like him despite mnet’s attempt at evil editing him and his team and he gathers a lot of attention whenever he’s shown. Anyway to me he is one of the most promising « dark horses »!

Exactly I think he is going to make it

the general public don't know yet just how much one pick value ricky has... he's the dark horse for sure. mnet doesn't even know how to edit him individually despite his team (and the chinese trainees in general) getting a lot of negative traction due to the kamden and krystian dilemma. so, his screentime has been neutral and limited. but his fanbase is secretly devoted and that's going to show once more contestants get eliminated... people's one pick extremely matters.

I like him a lot too, he knew how to market himself, and he's very talented. I just feel like with Mnet being Mnet he's not gonna be in the final lineup. He should be, though! By all accounts, he should make it to the end, but you know Mnet.

@Crud Honestly if they had shown him as much as the other popular trainees he would have as much of a chance of making it 🥲

Yes, I agree with you, besides that in this first mission he gained much more attention and many more fans, and he was once again in the top 9 of the most viewed fancams (+370k)

KEITA NEEDS TO DEBUT MY man trained for 9 FREAKING YEARS 😭

EXACTLY

☹️

It was announced today that he was debuting with other Boys Planet Trainee's under Jellyfish called BLIT

he debuted today 🥳🥳🥳

Tbh I think Ricky is gonna be the Hiyyih of boys planet. He has a quite stable fanbase, and many people on tiktok are only voting for him💀

That’s good he is one of my picks

as someone who is always on tiktok, ricky straight owns boys planet fandom tok 💀 people on there literally ask how to vote just to vote for ricky and randos, he's their one pick... the general public is going to find out how one pick the ricky fandom is once the contestants get cut down in size

Does he have a stable korean fan base? I can totally see his popularity among the global fans but idk with the Korean ones. I hope he makes it to the finale maybe even into debut line

@Becca de Santos that's the part i'm unsure about lol. mnet isn't really giving him that much screentime right now, just like how they didn't with bahiyyih. at the moment, it seems like he has a neutral or generally positive opinion of him among the korean fans. i believe during their live voting, ricky was the only one in the g group backdoor lineup to win against a member of the k group backdoor lineup. there were some international fans in that audience and it was shown that a group of foreigners were given a second of screentime to shout "boss baby ricky!" but that crowd consisted of mainly koreans... so i guess he will have to continue to show good performances to them or else 😅

gurll…we only can say that if he survive the first elimination…as for now I don’t think he’s hiyyih of this season

In episode 3 & 4 the biasness of the Korean audience was so vivid, crystal clear

G group trainees are disadvantaged as this is Korea, and can face many other problems such as language barriers with group members and/or fans. Although it's kind of unfair, G group trainees are definitely going to need to work way harder than k group ones.

Except keita,matthew and zhang hao i think they will make it

It's not just K fans, tbh. People keep bringing up the fact that the live audience was supposedly 50/50 in terms of K and I fans, but I fans are also fans of Korean contestants too. They aren't going to automatically vote for G Group contestants because they aren't Korean. I fans are just as biased towards Korean contestants as Koreans, so G Group is objectively at a higher disadvantage. K Group has tons of popular contestants and look more "debut ready" (not my personal opinion, just something that was told to me). Add in that there are ethnic Korean contestants in G Group like Matthew and Kamden, and this group might end up being less "global" than Kep1er. I really hope this K vs G group stuff drops next mission, because the show will lose all appeal for me if there aren't more interactions between the groups outside of funny filler side quests like watching the auditions with Sumni or wrestling.

@Goldy D No, 80% of the audience at live voting for the first k vs g group mission are Korean netizen (according to foreigner who joined the live voting audience) , and they are mostly Han Yujin, Kim Jiwoong, Sung Hanbin, and Hui fans because they are seen holding those trainees banner the most (especially Han Yujin and Jiwoong banner), that's why the result turned out that way. The only G Group that Korean netizen have soft spot is Zhang Hao that's why KTL Group are one of the most voted group in the show because Korean netizen chose to vote for KTL Group team despite already having their favorite.

@Olivia Winani K fans keep insisting the live audience was 50/50, and that I fans are being xenophobic about Koreans being biased for K Group. However, I think you're absolutely right about that ratio, and fans could be lying about it to maintain a more neutral image. The camera only ever pointed to the same 3 groups of non-Korean audience members; it's really hard to get into shows as an audience member for I fans in Korea in general; and finally, most people (Korean or not) in Korea aren't really interested in shows like this. So the chances of an actual ratio like that happening in the first place are really low. I'd honestly be shocked if Mnet could get a ratio that even. Still, that 50/50 ratio gets talked about a lot on Twitter and YouTube, but I can't help but doubt that that's how it played out in real life.

I personally hope jay and hui debut together cause MAN THE VOCALS of the group would be amazing they will literally SLAY

i'll cry if jay doesn't debut

@saikey kay I've known him and beomhan for a while now and i wish he gets to debut with hui cause that's just LEGENDARY

Saaaaame omg it would be epic

Lets see.. I'm afraid Hui came to this show for mnet drama instead of debut.. Now we see Hui's in top9 position, we dont know what will happen at the end. Remember Pentagon's experience during Road To Kingdom? Btw, please vote for Hui and Jay!!!!

I'm not a uni so i don't know the full behind the scenes story BUT i saw his disappointed expression when his rank dropped SO i hope he gets to debut if that's what he wants cause damn that man's talented and both of them are getting hate for stupid reasons SO LET'S VOTE FOR THEM

I REALLY WANT HARUTO TO DEBUT CUZ HE’S AMAZING AND HE DEFOO SLAYS

SAME

If not I hope he pulls a taki/k/nicholas/ej (from I-land) and ends up debuting some time in the near future

my nr 1 pick!!

@sparky boom boom boi and ej!

i want him to debut as the main rapper ❤

i'm rooting for keita, jay, and zhang hao, and wang zihao 😭 they're my picks from the g group!!!!! i want them to make it!!!!!

SAMEEE, also matthew, hanbin, haruto, maybe also seo won

park hanbin needs to be in that lineup like we truly saw the potential with his leadership and just all rounder idol skills plus he seems to be close to the wakeonez and sung hanbin so if he utilizes that on screen he might actually have a chance

yesss definitely

both hanbins are friends, there are pics of them going shopping tgt and taking photobooth pcs

i'm sorry i'm tired of seeing there faces, we need more jay screentime

@saikey kay ok 😑😑 jays already gets enough screentime

and Phanbin barey gets any screentime

i feel like most people would disagree with me on this, but i genuinely don't want hui in the debut group. i just don't think he would fit since we already know the debut group will be full of teens and guys barely in their twenties. i think it would be hard to pick a concept with him in the group that will fit them all. and yes you can say yujin is older than the kep1er girls, but yujin has a very youthful vibe and she's a couple years younger than hui still. even if he doesn't make it he still has an established career to fall back on. BUT ANYWAYS VOTE FOR KEITA !!!

Agree so hard

I agree with you

I'm emotionally attached to Zhanghao (God knows how many times I've put the KTL performance on loop) and I really want to see him debut alongside SHanbin and Matthew. They would make such a fun trio

Zhang Hao, wang zi hao, Shanbin , hanyujin & Matthew will debut together, 5 of them is done 100% voting,

@S S ah, sorry, but can you please explain what you mean by 100% voting? >

Wang Zi hao has a lot of potential. He is already proven to be the one of the best if not the best dancer among trainees in here. You could just see it. He is so stable when singing. Expected coming from Trix & Lay's training. Mnet should've at least aired his first audition+judges comments on the 1st ep tho,,if they already knew wang zi hao was sick to perform the signal song. Mnet cuted all his scene including the iv ones. Unfortunately most people probably started to notice his existence in ep.3. Man this guy is so much talented. He went from 3 star to 4 star all by his own without us knew until the next mission. He got complimented from judges & even dare to let him go to 'Street Man Fighter'(that is a strong statement given by one of the experiencer of the surviving program himself- Choi Young Jun). Also that's why his fellows respect & aknowledge his talents a lot especially Keita (for chosing him to be in an avengers team). Let's debut Wang Zi hao. I hope from now onwards people start to root for him. He deserves the attention.If you quite notice enough, he's always sitting at the back & very humble. We all know mnet can get fishy with the editing & treatment for G group. Plus he is Chinese, not all Koreans are accepting. But as the true ones shines no one could deny.

i really prayed that zi hao will make his debut plsss god 🙏🏻😭 I am voted for him from start to end of voting period

Yes 👍 indeed. WILL SUPPORT WANG ZIHAO

If he doesn't debut, I hope SM can snatch him and add him to WayV as their new center. He has insane dancing skills, stage charisma, good looking and is young

tbh, i trust that wang zi hao will debut. when it comes to votes, i would say him and sung hanbin are polar opposites. yes, sung hanbin is VERY famous, but i believe he also takes great advantage of the voting system right now, which makes you pick 9 boys. a lot of people use hanbin as a filler vote. it's either sung hanbin is your one pick, or he's a filler vote. however, for wang zi hao, he's going for the long run. he has great advantage for the one pick voting system. wang zi hao has a huge and loyal fanbase, regardless of his screen time. even on the mnet plus app, almost ten of the top 20 fans or so have him as their profile picture. and the fact that he even got this background story in episode 2/3 about how he has a background in dancing, etc. it adds up. and, i'm pretty sure he's not too low on the ranks. he also won't be coming home any time soon for sure with the benefit he got from kill this love. also, his support was already completed early on. if wang zi hao won't make it into the lineup, he will at least make it far into the competition. in the first round of voting, i didn't include him in my top 9 because i was confident he had his own fanbase + again, the benefit, so i decided to rotate between g group. however, he'll definitely be included in my top nine for the second round of voting, regardless of his fanbase. wouldn't risk it, i really want him to debut as well. this is just what i see, take this with a grain of salt. partially also may be biased. (i tried to make it as objective as possible) if you read this far thank you i love you i hope your pick debuts lmao. 😆

btw, i said sung hanbin "also" takes advantage of the "filler votes". with the fame he has now, (reaching 1m in his love me right fancam) i don't think his votes will change much even if the voting changes to one pick. he's the perfect person for mnet to push forward into our screens, you just can't hate him lmao.

imagine we could debut several groups, like clearly there is plenty of talent and hard work to go around

Agree

I hope people will vote for Jongwoo because there's no way someone so talented is so underrated like pls we need him to debut

I freaking love the big three: Keita, Zhang Hao and Matthew.

YES YES

Gosh I wish G-group's F4 make it (Zhang Hao, Matthew, Keita and Jay, if you didn't know they were the F4) with the K-group's F4 (S.Hanbin, Jiwoong, Yujin and Gyuvin, if you didn't know they were the F4) and Gunwook (the best all rouder besides Keita) I'll pray istg, and I'm not even religious TT

This is like my Dreams gurl i havethe same pick and i wish they debut Sorry english is my 3rd language Continue de voter boss

I HAVE THE SAME PICKS just one is different I really want to see woonggi in that group, I might be acting a little bit too emotional here but my heart keeps voting for him😭😭

Kopal Gupta I feel like koreans want gyuvin to debut because of his visiuals I’m not saying he is untalented but compared to sunghanbin,zhanghao etc he doesn’t show so much talent, he is decent actually. Yujin is good at dance and praised for it but again, I still feel like Koreans want him because of his cuteness and him being possible maknae. Because there are many trainees like wang zihao who is very good at dancing, but they are completely ignored anyway. Jiwoong already has a fan base because of his dramas plus his visiuals are very attractive (his popularity comes from mostly his visiuals) , idk about his dance and singing . That’s why his both Korean+global fan base is big, he can be a good visual.

Kopal Gupta jiwoong because he is handsome I think and has that manly aura I THINK ( btw I don’t even vote for him ) yujin I don’t know 🤷🏾‍♀️ Gyuvin i just liked him because he was close to SHanbin saur👁️👄👁️but after brainwashing by fan I stopped voting for him and jay to vote for haruto and ricky I think I liked this lineup because there was haobin matty and gunwook 🗿

@charlyisad quoiiii but I just reply to my thoughts too if you don’t like it nakah My English is not good too by the way

Having Jay, Hui, Jiwoong, Zhanghao, Hanbin, Yujin, Matthew, Keita, and Ricky on the same team is such an Avengers team.

everyone is so talented like i want seowon to debut but everyone is SO talented too

I am really rooting for gunwook, he's my bias, born as the same year as me yet extremely talented and confident, he's someone who gains my respect as he confidently shines in his dancing capabilities, singing, rapping as an all-rounder and I feel like mnet is trying to portray him as a scary persona but he really is just a bit of a loving dork who works really hard for what he deserves!!!

BRO PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO START RECOGNISING SEOWON!! HES SO TALENTED,VISUALLY APPEALING,BEAUITFUL PRETTY AND CAN SING AND ABSOLUTELY SLAY IN DANCES!! HES SO DAMN UNDERRATED,PEOPLE REALLY SHOULD REALLY BE GETTING THEIR CHOICES RIGHT BECAUSE I JUST DONT THINK SOMEONE LIKE DAEUL NEEDS TO BE THAT HIGHT IN VOTES JUST BECAUSE OF HIS VISUAL AND CUTE STUFF. SO MANY MORE DESERVE THAT SPOT AND SEOWON SURELY IS ONE OF THEM!!

Jay deserves to debut so much after what he's gone through. Also please don't refer to Jay as "Hui's arch enemy"😭✋ Ik it's probs a Joke but a bunch of toxic stans will start seeing them as enemies and start hating on Jay again💀 let's just call them healthy rivals😭💕🤞

pLS IM SORRY IT WAS A JOKE - but fr i hope no one sees their healthy rivalry as something actually serious? both of them are amazing and mnet was obv just milking it for the tension/anticipation. i'm hoping we see them on the same team for a vocal mission

@pandacorniux Omg I'm praying that they are on the same team for another mission

I winced at the “arch enemy” reference too, but we know you meant no harm, @pandacorniux 😊. The fact is there are so many trainees who deserve to debut based on talent alone, but Mnet editing and (Korean) fanbase ultimately decide. And we all know how much influence the Korean fandom has. They’ll take even the most minor slight and blow it up into big drama.

Imagine Jay and Hui debut togather, like can u imagine have 2 main vocalists ??? That would be amazing

@Wenni Oesman Ikr!

i need yoon jongwoo to debut hes incredible he was so captivating in his back door fancam

I voted for Yoon Jong Woo. He was amazing in Back Door.

fr !!!! back door was HIS song, is it just me or he exudes seo changbin?

yesss im glad hes getting more attention after the first mission, he was so cool in mirotic and him and jiwoong have such a funny dynamic

OMG I HOPE SO TOO 😢😢

i have been voting for him since day 1, everyday giving him 10 points lol. I really like him and the way he entertains through a little humor here and there, his dancing is so fucking awesome, in the mirotic performance, if you look at him closely when he's not even the center, his dancing and stage presence doesn't go down at all, his skills and energy are so good, he actually gives me the hyunjin/san vibes, if he does well in rapping and get more screen time, no one will stop him from debuting

I never waited this much patiently to have a group debut with my favs ❤

I would be very surprised if they let more than 3 non-Korean trainees debut. Like super super extremely surprised. You know what I mean.

zhang hao, matthew, and jay has possibility to debut, And isn't matthew is korean ? so it means 2 non korean

Yes the most probable matrix can be 6 KR: 3 GBL 🥲

zhang hao deserves more, he's so talented and incredible i love him

Wang zihao is so talented and deserves to debut

Please make Lee Hoetaek and Jay debut.. their combo is so nicee

I want Hui, Jay, Zhang hao, Mathew, Hanbin, Seungon, Hwan Hee and Gyuvin to debut so badly

i rlly think seunghwan will also be a dark horse in the competition! he doesn't get too much screen time but when he does it's always something good and he's super talented

I'm rooting for Jay , Haruto , Keita , Zhang hao 😭 also Wumuti did a great job too! They are so talented

I don't know how many G groups will debut as long as Keita is part in top 9 i'm already happy.. and i want matthew and keita to debut together

Exactly. Same here

I know it’s impossible to hope for 5 G Group trainees to debut, but if Haruto (my one pick), Jay, Zhang Hao, Keita, and Matthew debut together they’d literally dominate all of the competition in the upcoming years

yoo seungeon is one of my top picks and i think he might be able to make it to the finals if the producers don't mess with him. he is super talented, particularly an incredible vocalist, and today we totally saw the effects of that being highlighted in his aju nice performance when he ranked #17 in the first elimination!

You were pretty close actually! 7/9 and you mentioned all pretty relevant trainees. Wow I didn’t realise it was this easy to tell the debut group just from the first 3 eps….

To be fucking honest, Jay can outdo Gyuvin and Yujin just by his vocals alone. Man's got the charisma, stage precence, the *VOCALS*, a little lacking in dancing but we are talking about being a singer here. It's just that Yujin & Gyuvin got a solid fanbase and how much screentime they get every episode, I bet 80% they'll make it on the final line up.

it hurts knowing most of my picks wont be in the final lineup but i already know this is like 90% accurate. im just not sure ab keita and maybe jay but it depends on how strong their fanbase will be during one pick

I hope people vote for keita. He deserves it

Gosh this group needs both keita’s rapping skills and jay’s voice. I wish that could happen

I love that Han Bin, Ji Woong and Zhang Hao are like the top three most definitely to debut, we love them, they’re amazing, talented and want to see more of we them… BUT I think the real issue is going to be the other 6 members, because they’re so many talented trainees, that you could take the top 12 alone (not thirteen, after watching that 40 minute live I’m bitter, sorry) and make a large b-group, SO it will all come down to preferences and who the k-fans really want to see, because before episodes 3 & 4 I wasn’t a fan of Jay or Haruto or Yu Jin or Gyu Vin, but now, I want to see them all debut P.S. Hui should definitely be sitting in a master’s seat and not a contestant, but whatever

Kopal Gupta because he’s a good idol, has talent, skill, potential and experience; it also helps that he can sing, dance and rap, plus his personality and charm will be amazing on variety shows, he’s absurdity athletic as seen in the last ep. There various reason why he should debut in the final lineup and could possibly be the leader of the group. Now may I ask why do you want him to NOT debut?

​shen quanrui my love Why do not want him to debut +1

The things id give for matthew and hanbin to debut together

Let’s continue to vote for S Hanbin because he deserves the C position

I agree what all that you said about Wang Zi Hao. It’s very clear he’s not MNET’s favourite but he always has a big fanbase not only in China (where his fancam has gained 1M views) but internationally as well. I think his weakest base is in Korea which determined 50 percent of the boys who’ll debut. He’s really talented and I’m sure once they begin to pay attention, they’ll come to appreciate his skill. Let’s make Zi Hao debut!

Unfortunately Mnet only wants to push one Chinese trainee only, which is Zhang Hao. I prefer Wang Zihao because he stands out in terms of dancing skills (probably the best in the show) and stage charisma, on top of being good looking and young. If he doesn't debut, I hope SM can snatch him and add him to WayV as their new center.

@sporeKAfan But WayV is already full of talented members and if Lucas is gone they still have Ten who could be the center.

@Vixx Exo If Lucas is not coming back to WayV, Zihao will be the perfect center. A center must be at least good looking, talented, strong stage presence, young and preferably have some height and fun/cute personality to attract fans. Zihao has the powerful dance vibes like Lucas but also able to do softer dance. Ten is just a good dancer but doesn't possess all the center attributes and is not a Chinese. His dancing vibes is also quite feminine while Lucas is powerful and manly. WayV has to change their group's music and dance style because of the change in center and unfortunately their popularity and views have dropped drastically. If Zihao is added to the group, they could get back some of their popularity and go back to their previous powerful dance style and music. They will be even more known in China since Wang Zihao is Lay's trainee and has the Boys Planet's popularity.

@sporeKAfan Zihao is already under Four Holy Beasts as preparatory member (term used for trainees). FSB is Chromosome Entertainment Group's subsidiary agency for talent management. And Chromosome is EXO's Lay's founded company. If Zihao ends up not debuting there in Korea, he'll surely debut in China under Chromosome, either as a soloist or a member/leader of their first idol group. It would be nice to see him debut and promote as both a kpop and cpop idol though, that's why his fans are doing their best to support him in the show despite the unfair treatment he is getting re: screentime. If SM decides to get involved which is kind of a reach, the business relationship between Lay's Chromosome Entertainment Group and SM will serve it's purpose I guess. Co-management for Korean promotions (idk how that works though).

@닌야후 Thanks for the info. I actually hope to see Zihao promoting in both Korea and China because Korea has those music stages and frequent comebacks for idol groups which China doesn't have. It would be hard for him to promote in Korea since he is under a China label with no Korea connections. I would say that the chance of him debuting in Boys Planet isn't high since he wasn't given any screentime in early episode to build his international fanbase and competition among G group trainees is quite strong. However, if he is in WayV, he would be able to promote in Korea, China and even internationally. I just feel that it is a pity for such a talent to be confined to China market.

I need Wumuti to debut, he's insanely talented, has stable vocals and also has great leadership qualities. But this show is absolutely rigged so I don't expect much :(

KEITA and NA KAMDEN would be perfect rappers for the final group…I wish more people knew about kamden’s talent but he’s rising!!! Keep your eye on him please!!! ❤️❤️❤️ #22

Most people dont predict Jay to debut, coz Mnet will likely give the main Vocal to Hui. But thanks for putting Jay into your list, coz his vocal is more global and such a fire.

Tbh I feel both of them won’t make it for some reason 😢

Chen Kuan jui deserves to debut!!! Please vote for him

Please vote Gunwook!! He's amazing

all i want is to zhanghao keita and matthew to debut

Im rooting for Sung Hanbin, Hui, Matthew, Keita, Zhanghao and Jiwoong

Sung Hanbin really has to debut. He's talented in every aspect: dance, stable vocals, stage presence, expressions, he's kind, caring and helpful to all trainees. He HAS to debut!

Please vote for Chen kuan Jui he is really talented but very underrated, he deserves to debut!!!!!!

Haruto, taerae and Wang zi hao needs to debut 😭

My top 11 (not in order): 1. Haruto 2. Hanbin 3. Zhang Hao 4. Kim Jiwoong 5. Matthew 6. Keita 7. Han Yujin 8. Jay 9. SeoWon 10. Woonggi 11. Ricky

I've been championing Chen Kuan Jui since the first episode. He's srsly one of the best dancers on the show and has excellent expressions. He reminds me a lot of Yangyang (and not just bc he's also from Taiwan!) in his vocal rap and carriage. I think he would have high appeal amongst Weishennies watching the show and I've jokingly said that if he doesn't manage to debut with bep1er, WayV should adopt him.

Yes my favourite global contestant

His solo performance in Butterfly was beautiful.

@Shining Jewel yes

girl i want 2 teams to debut bc i like 18 of them

i don't understand why my man hwanhee is so underrated, he got an amazing powerful vocal and nice & fun personality, i hope he is debuting

WOONGGI DESERVES SO MUCH LIKE CMON UGH LET'S VOTE HIM INTO DEBUT

i love revisiting these prediction videos after knowing what happened in the end

i need big 3 to debut THEY HAVE TO

My picks are Jong woo, Seowon, and Jiwoong, so 2/3 are dark horses. Jongwoo and Seowon are both really good performers. If you watch their cams and stages, their dance, facial expressions, and charisma are really good!

Idc who is going to debut, I just want Zhang Hao to debut 🙏

Sung hanbin in pre debut video I watched he is sassy and it makes me fall in love again and again 💖💖💖💖✌😘😘😘let's debut sung hanbin and when u debut I would love to see your sassy side again 😄

IMAGINE if we might have a gaggy “Sixteen” moment and they add 2 extra members since they have been used to promoting successful groups of 11 idols…

i think lot of people forgot that Lee Yedam exist 😭😭😭 i mean first of all he's so freaking cute!! (he's so smol I can't 🙂) second of all he's arguably the best dancer in the program (just look at his fancam and his audition video also his performance from Loud) and lastly his vocal aren't half bad, he can hit higher note. so why y'all didn't vote for this talented kid 😭😭😭 wake up people!!!!

I want Hwanhee to debut so bad he is talented his appart od the good vocalists of this season he is cut and has a nice personnality ! He had some highlight in the episode 3 but i hope that he will gain more popularity

yesss :(

I think your prediction is pretty accurate. I've consumed an ungodly amount of BP content (both from the international and korean side) and here's some thoughts: - some k-fans talk about the "F4 line", which is Sung Hanbin, Yujin, Jiwoong, and Gyuvin. I think all of these will end up in the final line-up. - people are realizing it would be weird if Hui and Yujin debuted together bc of the age gap- Yujin is very popular and I think if it comes down to it, the GP would rather not pick Hui because he's older and already has a group. But if the support from Universe is big enough he might make it anyway (I think he's still in the top 9 as of ep 4) - I think you're right about Gunwook. he will have a lot of one-picks because he's such a distinct character and there's a demographic that will root for him HARD. he's also one of the most skilled trainees so as long as we can vote for multiple trainees, I think he will accumulate a lot of votes. - Zhang Hao and Matthew are currently the 2 most popular G-group members among K-fans (as far as I've seen), I know people are unsure of Matthew and he gets compared to Yurina a lot but atm I don't see him NOT debuting- he's just a little too talented and a little too popular. - As for Jay, Haruto and Keita, I only see 1 of them in the final top 9, but I think it's going to be close between all of them so idk which one I think is going to make it yet. - And I'm so happy you talked about Kim Taerae, Park Hanbin, Keum Junhyeon and Yoon Jongwoo!!! I really like them and I agree that some of them are wild cards that could compete for the top 9 spots

Gunwook is getting a lot of fans in Japan (if I'm not mistaken he is at the top position for their one picks) for his tsudere image so I'm pretty positive he is making it till the end! I also think that although its a bit hard for us - me included - to separate Matthew from Yurina's image (cuz at the time we were all so convinced she was in the line up), but he is doing a lot better than she was. I think the voting system on GP999 is a bit incomparable to now and gave us false hopes into who would make it and who wouldn't. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! And I'm really hoping for a wildcard to spice things up!!

If daeul debuts I’m throwing hands

My guess for the final top 9: 1: Sung Hanbin 2: Kim Jiwoong 3: either Park Gunwook or Han Yujin (one of them will end up the Dayeon of the show), I don't think both will make it 4: Lee Daul 5: Zhang Hao 6: Hui 7: Seok Matthew 8: Yedam 9: Doha (if he doesn't make it my prediction is he'd be 10th)

Well since not many people in the comments are talking about him I'll say it. I really hope gunwook debuts because he deserves it! Where are all the gunwook stans at?? Please vote for him guys. And let's not forget about lee seunghwan. He's good too. My top 9 PARK GUNWOOK LEE SEUNGHWAN MATTHEW JAY KEITA ZHANG HAO KIM JI WOONG JONGWOO PARK HAN BIN

YES PLEASE VOTE FOR GUNWOOKKKKKKKKK OR ELSE I WILL CRY UNTIL I DRY UP

My prediction is: 1. Sung hanbin - he has been in the limelight from the very start. Its obvious mnet wants him as the center. 2. Yujin - he's another mnet's fav and the story they are building for him wil definitely sell. 3. Jiwoong - pretty obvious he has a huge fanbase that will take him till the end 4. Mathew - a very likable character that I think public will continue liking. Plus I dont think he is the yurina of the season. He has a strong one pick fandom and is not just a filler vote. 5. Gunwook - he is getting the dayeon treatment. They highlighted him alot in kill this love performance. Mnet wants him to debut. 6. Zhang hao - he is the center of the g group. Has a lot of potential and attractive personality. However, I do get the feeling sometimes that he might be the yurina of the show. 7. Keita - keita is another trainee that mnet likes to highlight. His performance in the show remind me of mashiro. He'll be at the lower ranks but if mnet stops focusing on him he might not make it. 8. Ricky - i get a very strong feeling that ricky might be the dark horse of this season. He has been shown so less yet still has been able to create a certain aura and hype. His mysteriousness adds to his charizma. If mnet shows him a little more and adds even one good segment about him he'll make it. He can be 9th too. Either way I feel like he will pull through in the end and will be the surprise factor. 9. Jay/gyuvin - honestly im not sure either of them will make it. Someone from the lower ranks might suddenly rise and secure their spot. But the audience is currently hooked on them. If they are continued to be shown by mnet and make right decisions in mission they might make it. Gyuvin has more chances than jay cause i feel the final line up will have at least 5 koreans and he has a strong korean one pick. I dont feel like hui will debut. I think the other trainees presence is too strong. What happened with yujin cannot happen every time. Trainees from lower ranks that I think have a chance: park hanbin/wang zi hao/haruto and another guy who's name i dont know (he's the one who screamed when he got 4 stars and was in back door) Note: all of them are definitely talented and deserve the best. This is what I think till episode 5. Lets see how things change.

The guy who screamed is kum jun hyeon .He is super talented.

@zyo yes i know his name now lol. And YES he is very talented 👏

you were pretty accurate lol

wow im shocked to see how similar ur prediction is with mine, thats insane hahaha, but it could change eventually, bcs we haven't seen all of the episode yet, so i'm just going to vote for who i stan. anyway, PLS VOTE KIM JIWOONG HE IS TALENTED, AND HE HAS THIS CHARISMATIC PERSONALITY, I'M SURE U'LL LIKE TO SEE MORE OF HIM IN THE FUTURE! Thank youuu~

if people vote for daeul because of his visuals and the cutenesss,theres the same cutenesss and visuals(even better ngl) WITH A LOT MORE unrecognised TALENT and what not in seowon!! GO START SUPPORTING THAT CUTIE OMG

I hope Gun Wook will debut!

Park Hanbin deserves to debut 🥺 He taught his group one by one after the group practice (imagine how tiring that is). He has great vocals, dance, stage presence, sunshine personality and leadership. Plus the abs? What more can you ask for.

I'm really rooting for Yoon Jongwoo to make it far, I haven't seen lot of hype online but I'm hoping that might change after he did so well as back door center. He got good screen time and compliments from the mentors, so maybe he'll be on the rise. My top 3 K group picks are Jiwoong, Jongwoo, and Yujin, they really have good chemistry together too. Let's Debut!

me too!!! let's make jongwoo debut!

The hype has arrived 😎

I’m routing for Kim Minseoung. He’s been shown in the first two episodes, but is still underrated. Kim Minseoung fighting!!!

Is it crazy if I say, we have the same top 9 pick but diff ranking as of this moment?????? Tbh i found it really really hard to pick only 9 since there are so many talented trainees 😭😭

A few contestants that I can see/predict making it to the 3rd elimination but not debuting, if their edits remain positive or neutral and their screentime is consistent are: Na Kamden, Cong, Ricky, and Joon Woo. -Kamden's pity/good leader edit has secured his spot for the next round. He's in my top 9, and I think this could make or break him building a fandom in Korea for his future projects. Hopefully, he gets into the rap group. Crossing my fingers. -Ricky's a popular pick for I fans, and he wasn't evil edited to the extent Krystian was. The only thing is that there's a strong possibility Mnet will use him next for an evil edit if an opportunity opens up. But since Krystian's likely going to make it next round, maybe Mnet won't focus on him as much and he can fly under the radar enough to make it close to the finals. -Cong flew under the radar for a lot of people. If he makes it next round, I see Mnet painting him as the kind and humble kid who knows Korean well, which can benefit him greatly in terms of maintaining a good image. He needs more training, but he's very charming. So I think he could be a potential dark horse, especially if he's given more screentime. -Jong Woo has center potential. All he needs is a bit more screentime. His largest disadvantage so far is the number of contestants competing, but I feel as they dwindle, he'll be able to shine more. Contestants I predict who are definitely making it next round, but aren't safe overall: Krystian, Lee Daeul, Bak Doha, Haruto, and Wumuti. Props to you if you made it this far! Nice video ❤️

I agree !

I definitely do agree with Krystian comment. He might have gotten most evil edited out of everyone but he'll still make it to first round cuz he has a decent fanbase.

hellooo, i appreciate the time you took to write a comment so i thought i’d respond to your opinions. - i’m wishing so badly that Kamden gets into a rap group for the mission because all we saw from him on the episodes was his leader arc, i know his chances to debut are minuscule but i’m still cheering for his success - i don’t think mnet will evil edit Ricky even though he checks most of the boxes for people being evil edited (Chinese + Popular) mostly because i’m 99.9% sure they have an agreement with Yuehua. on the other hand being of a company where so many trainees are being pushed (Yujin, Gyuvin, Zhanghao) might be the reason he won’t get that much screen time. i think it is a pretty safe bet we will see him in the finals, for all the reasons you listed - i LOVE Cong, he did such a great job in Aju Nice! I def see him being pushed as one of the Global Contenders but I’ll be more convinced if he is going to go that far only after seeing which rank he got in the elimination round lol lastly i think Haruto is pretty safe, lots of screentime + praise, so i don’t see him leaving the show too soon (i saw the preview to the episode today where they show his face for 52nd place and there’s no way he ranked that low) and Doha’s weird charms will carry him a long way, not sure about surviving the 3rd elimination but I’m counting him in for the creation mission performance. everything else you said i agree, there are so many factors that we must take into consideration but you managed to mention so many important points i didn’t even think of! thank you am for commenting and i’m glad you liked the video ❤

Vote for Taerae and Junhyeon guys!! Like you need people to go on variety shows

cha woongki is also variety show material he has went decently viral in the past due to his personality

Please haruto too nothing on the show will top him running down the gym throwing hearts when he got picked 😭

FR LIKE THEY CAME IN PAIR

YOON JONGWOO DEBUT it is not a want it is a need

Finally someone appreciating Wang ziho 😭 please let more than 3 G group trainees debut

I hope it will be 5K and 4 G in the final line up

@Ines K2 yes

its a disadvantage for someone with huge potential like wang zihao to debut under mnet if the group is getting same treatment like kepler... if yixing promotes him well,(zihao or lin),he could create the next cai xukun and if it happens,he will be easily the most successful trainee frm boysplanet

I think you're missing two important trainees that have a decent shot at the finals and even the final group Lee Seunghwan is my "dark horse" even though he technically started at the top his screentime has been discreet but present. He's one of my picks but I think he has a decent chance of debut similar to Youngeun from Kep1er convincing the producers and therefore the viewers that he's an all rounder with personality. Mun Jung Hyun he's another one I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it to the semi finals. He's a wakeone trainee and I think screen time wise probably beats out PHanbin. He also have very Korean friendly visuals and is an all rounder. I think next mission both of these boys will need to do a vocal performance that requires great stage presence and I think we'll have two "dark horses" who aren't so dark at all

nooo i completely forgot about lee seunghwan !! he had a lot of pre-season hype that died a bit down, but he is def on the rise after the last episode. he had gotten very little screen time so we will see if he (read: producers/editors) will keep it up. i don't really how popular mun junghyun is... his fancam views are low and i rarely see him topping any polls. he was the main plot of aju nice team though and once the elimination ranks are aired of we will be see if all of his screentime translated into votes/fans (most likely) lee seunghwan getting a vocal position next mission would be the best path for him for sure, but i thought junhyun was more into rapping? anyways thank you for your remarks!! ill def keep an eye out for those 2

agreed! i was surprised seunghwan didn't get more vocal time this episode, his vocals are so beautiful

KIM TAERAE NEEDS TO DEBUT GUYSSS,PLEASEEEE VOTE HIM HE IS SUPER TALENTED AND I REALLY WANT HIM TO DEBUT TT

I choked when you called Jay the archenemy of Hui hahshahshs. Both admire each other, Jay in pre debut videos danced to Shine and mentioned how he liked him.

for me, as long as Hui, Haruto, Sung Hanbin, Matthew, and Kim Jiwoong is on the final line up, im okay

Thanks for talking about the promising candidates, dark horses and honorable mentions. There are so many talented guys, especially more apparent after the K vs G team battles. But it’s also more apparent who Mnet is pushing.

I really wish Keita debuts. FR he was really talented in treasure box too- Let that man debut

Im so hoping Matthew doesn't go through yurina's curse T~T. Im so rooting for him. Ji woong ist like the fan service we all were asking for. If his face alone doesnt make him debut, then i dont know who is going to debut~~

I think I failed to mention how much I think Seunghwan looks like Hongseok from Pentagon. It's literally like father, like son. (Both are my biases)

That's quite a spot on! The worst case scenario for the final line up would be 6 K and 3 G, since the final voting will be like GP999 (50% korean votes, 50% global votes). But since we're only still at the first elimination, we won't know for sure. The two thing that matter are the one pick system and the 50-50 voting system for the final line-up. Although it's good to have tons of global fans, they'll fall behind if they don't have solid korean fanbase (since each Korean vote worth more than each vote from every other country, with an example from the previous season, Fu Yaning and Su Ruiqi). I think we can make a better judgment on who'll be debuting by looking at many social media platforms such as twitter, or youtube's statistic and comments. Some of the global trainees who get a lot of love from both domestic and global audience (+ solid one picks) are Zhang Hao, Jay, and Keita (which is actually quite concerning regarding Matthew because he's a popular nine-pick or two-pick option, not a one-pick). If there's nothing like evil editing or dramas sorrounding them, three of them will definitely make into the final line-up, almost like 75%. Regarding the korean trainees, I think it's almost a guarantee that the top 3 right now (Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Han Yujin) will get into the final line-up. It's almost like watching Park Jihoon-Lee Daehwi-Ong Seungwoo in PD101 S2, they get a lot of support ever since the first episode, and until the final episode (they never left the top 11 position throughout the season, even though PD101 S2 was the craziest in terms of how strong the contendants were). However, I don't think anyone will pull a Kang Daniel in this season. MNET is bolder than ever with their favouritism for Boys Planet. Actually I have a feeling they actually wants Hui to be in the final line-up, since Kep1er is being outshined by many 4th gen girl groups, such as New Jeans and Ive. Sadly, even if they did have a better management from the start, it would still be hard for them. Because when IZ*ONE debuted, their rivals wasn't as fierce as 4th gen. They don't want to risk another project by not having a clout and huge public anticipation, especially when the public (korean audience as their main target) doesn't favor boy groups as much as girl groups right now (with the exception of some groups like TXT). But at the end of the day, it'll heavily depended on Universe (Pentagon's fans), whether they still want Hui to be in the final line-up or go back to Pentagon (which actually doesn't bring any good either for Hui himself since Pentagon's contract will be expired this year, and mostlikely won't resigning since they're heavily mistreated by CUBE). But yeah, overall this is the most predictable season ever.

i didn’t know Jay was placing high for Korean voters as well, wow! I think the thing about G group trainees is that so many are being pushed to the same extent (apart from the ones you mentioned we will still see a lot from Haruto, Cong, maybe even Ricky/Anthony all competing for the same 2 spots (Zhanghao should mae it no matter what)) which makes their places in debut exchangeable knowing that the greatest support they have will most likely never be Korean. i think the top 3 are locked in since episode 1 and the show does feel pretty predictable now so i’m really hoping for the dark horses to come through and spice the competition !! thank you for sharing ur thoughts 💕

Coming here after seeing episode 4 and the sneak peek for the elimination on Friday, so if you haven’t seen it, spoilers ahead: After the last episode I think mnet is trying to push daeul off the edge. Fans are really angry at him because when his team (k danger) was practicing it was revealed that he was the one that picked them and he did it based on people that were nice to him. When they were practicing daeul was the only one messing things up so the leader of the team suggested that daeul should change parts, then daeul said that he doesn’t want to and that if he had to give his part away there was no point on choosing the other trainee for the team. The viewers (global and knetz) are very angry at him for that, and now with the sneak peak of the elimination the only one announced was him at 13, after that the live ended. People are also very angry that he was the only one announced so it seems the public has already started to change their mind on him. Mnet might see that he is great for storytelling but if they push him too much he might debut which is something they don’t want so he’s falling arc has already started. He’s not one of my picks and I think he has a lot to train before debuting. Seowon seems to be pushed a lot also with his crack ship with Jiwoong, which might take him far in the competition, but there are 2 problems. First, as you said he’s already in a group and it is a brand new one so his fans don’t want him to debut here, and the second one is that he’s getting a lot of votes for his slay 💅 kind of personality and his main rival in that is Woongi, who was kicked out of a group and this may be his last chance to debut. In the end a lot of the supporters he has may switch and vote for Woongi instead seeing how Seowon has a group, and seeing how his group’s fans don’t want him to debut here, that can be his downfall. As for Jay, I really hope he debuts (he’s my 1st pick), and I do think mnet wants him. Seeing how the love me right g vs k ended with the k group winning and Hui beating Jay over 100 points, mnet painted Jay as someone who tried really hard but wasn’t acknowledged for it, so that may rise sympathy from the viewers. His korean fanbase isn’t bad, since he’s American and Koreans usually like that kind of vibe, the only problem with him is the fact that he’s mixed, but I do think that with the global support and the fanbase he has in Korea he can earn the 9th or 8th spot. A trainee that can pull a surprise card is Haruto, he has been getting a lot of good edits these 4 episodes, he’s from Wake one and I would argue he’s from the wake one trainees along Taerae the one getting the most screentime. The mentors talked good about his rapping and dancing skills, he has a lot of relationships with other trainees, and I think he’s and easy one going into the finals. As for the debut group I’m not so sure. I think Keita is becoming this season’s Bora, helping other trainees, being very kind to everyone, the mentors love them, they have the failed group backstory,… and I do think he might end up as her since he’s one pick fanbase isn’t too strong. Hui will be the wild card till the end, mnet has had a tendency to not want “too old” idols, and even manipulated some out of the groups (Baekho in wanna one and Gaeun in iz*one), and seeing how they really want Yujin to be the maknae they might push for Jiwoong to be the older member of the group (seeing how their age difference is 9, same as Kep1er or iz*one’s hyung and maknae), and in the end only use Hui for clout. As you said, it all depends on the fanbase, if they want to have him on the group or return to pentagon. For closing thoughts, seeing how Kep1er went, I think mnet is trying to push for a 5 k and 4 g lineup to have diverse markets to go. My guess is sung hanbin, kin Jiwoong, han Yujin, park Gunwook and maybe hui or kin gyuvin for korea, Zhanghao for china, Keita or Haruto for Japan, and Jay and Matthew for the west. Idk, we will see in April how everything went

I’m a K-pop newbie from the US. I’m equally obsessed and baffled by Korean K-pop survival shows. It’s helpful to read comments like yours that has context, history, and past & current attitudes. Maybe I’m too jaded, but it seems like the K-pop business nurtures and builds up talented youth, then spits them out without a second thought. And luck has so much to do with who ultimately debuts.

wow first of all thank you for putting all of your thoughts out i really appreciate it ^---^ now to your points lol: - i get mixed feelings with daeul and why they suddenly switched up on him... he was very highlighted until now and i feel like if they wanted to eliminate him they would have aired all of the drama on episode 3, but then again they would have never aired it if they wanted him to go any longer. i didnt really watch watch episode 4 so i need to give it a look before i go into any crazy theories lol but i do think he has served his purpose on the show after what was shown… - although seowon and woongki have overlapping images, the only thing we have seen from woongki in the show was him dancing to my bag in the middle of the night, which while iconic, is not much for the casual audience to cast him their vote. the lack of screen time and the not so great performances he has been showing really puts him in a disadvantage even if he had a previous popularity. i really think out of all the contestants that come from smaller groups, seowon has the best chance since his fans seem to be supportive, his performances have been good so far, and he gets enough attention~ in the episodes that is unrelated to his group. but it is a good point to consider that his supporters may switch vote last minute - i hope keita doesn’t become a bora. the way mnet wanted her so bad but nobody voted her cuz we all wanted cherry bullet to comeback and they didnt even ride the post gp999 fame - i can’t . i do see him more of as mashiro though, so i’m counting that he will be smart again with his picks and have a really nice 2nd mission performance 5K4G would be the best, it is twice’s ratio so it should be what we expect from a global group, but i don’t want to create expectations knowing that so many g contestants are going home today and after the whole fiasco of 8K1C we saw in the interim check with kep1er this is an essay LMAO but thank you again for your comment, i really enjoyed reading ur inputs in what might happen! april will be promising

@pandacorniux JAJAJA don’t worry, I like essays xD I see your point with Seowon, it’s interesting because he has more screentime than Woongi but Woongi has been consistently higher than him in the ranks, idk, we’ll se how they go. Really hoping for Keita to be more of a Mashiro than a Bora, I hope in the next episodes his 1 pick fanbase grows and in one moment he can enter the top 9

i’m manifesting keita’s debut but i really fear he’ll turn out like bora

As for keita i don't think his fanbase is not strong, for me he deserves in top 9 actually his my main pick for me he is the main rapper among the contestants obviously plus he can sing high note and dance all rounder. Haruto will not be in top 9 i can feel it his fanbase is not strong compare to keita as for skills his just okay but not that great.. ( so if 4 G group will debut it will definitely keita,matthew, jay and zhang hao 100% sure)

im gonna keep commmenting all bp videos until seowon gets the proper recognition he deserves in this show!! YALL PLEASE GO CHECK OUT HIS ATTENTION PERFORMANCE AND AJU NICE FANCAM,THAT MAN'S TALENTED ASF,AND SO DAMN PRETTY OMG

I’m sooo convinced that despite mnet not being involved in the voting results n stuff, there will definitely be at least 2 ppl like Kim Jonghyun from pd101s2, Lee Gaeun from pd48, Lee Jinhyuk from pdx101 and istg I’m so afraid that there’s gonna be at least 1 trainee from G group and the other one might be Han Yujin. I absolutely love Yujin he’s in my top 9 but I rly don’t think he has shown much to the audience that will make ppl not forget him or still vote for him. Mnet can push him as much as they want with the editing but what can we do if we always only just see him but never get to know the kid? I truly believe he’s either gonna end up being like Jonghyun or Gaeun or Jinhyuk OR scare us like Ahn Yujin in pd48 where she dropped to rank 14 right b4 the final round.

I just want Kim Min Seoung to get more screentime... he is amazing and deserves so much more..

I hope there will be "another JBJ" in this era😭

Your points are really valid and I totally agree with your top 9 too. I'm a G group supporter and my top picks are Keita, Matthew, Zhang Hao, Wang Zihao and Haruto, along with them I voted for Cong, Wumuti, Anthony and Chen Kuan Jui. I feel like Wang Zihao has a strong one pick power, which Keita doesn't. (Maybe that's not true) but Matthew, Keita, Wang Zihao, Chen Kuan Jui and even Hiroto and Haruto, I can see them making to the finals, but not really sure of them making to the debut lineup. -But as far as I've seen and observed, Knetz are suporting Zhang Hao and Matthew in the G group. It might not be the same, as during one pick voting, they might switch to K group favs. -But Zhang Hao will debut (most probably) because he has strong one pick global support too. Anthony and Ricky have good amount of support too, but not too strong one pick power I guess, not sure about Ricky tho cause I can see overwhelming support for him.

If y’all voting zhanghao then y’all better vote gunwook aswell they the besties of Boys Planet 😼😼

My prediction is a bit different... I also wanted to compare them to the “Kep1er” girls because it's the same amount of members and theme [I numbered it in probability] = 1). The Dayeon : K - Sung Han Bin {Automatic cuz he’s the K Group Center} **Confident** 2). The Xiaoting : G - Zhang Hao {Automatic cuz he’s the G Group Center} **Confident** 3). The Bahiyyih : K - Kim Jiwoong {Arguably the most popular contestant right now} **Confident** 4). The Yeseo : K - Han Yujin {I thought that his storyline in the second episode was a bad sign, but after watching your video it makes sense that they’re setting him up to have a big redemption and he would be a great Maknae} **Confident** 5). The Yujin : K - Lee Hoe Taek/Hui {Even though it seems like MNET are trying their best to tear him down- he's the Yujin of the show and I would argue has more support cuz PENTAGON is a more popular group than CLC was, his redebut is almost inevitable} **50/50** 6). The Youngeun : G - Jay Chang {Other than the stupid allegations of him being problematic, he's the black horse & seems to be the favorite of G group talent and personality wise + he has a lot of pre existing hype and support plus is fluent in English; something that MNET could see as beneficial to the group} **50/50** 7). The Chaehyun : K - Seo Won {To me- even though he's been on the side lines, he has the potential to have the Dayeon edit or the reverse of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they either start shoving him down our throats (I wouldn’t mind cuz he’s one of my top picks, but they’re just giving him a lot of screen time) or depriving us of him + he might have the Wonyoung or Chaehyun effect; just one good performance and he could win it all.} **Depends on fan recepction** 8). The Hikaru : K - Cha Woongki {Even though he's not a center and hasn't been performing as well at this point in the competition, he still was one of the most popular contestants coming into the show and I'm surprised he hasn't been shown a lot- all though; I do think they have a plan to set him up well since he's a roomie with Seo Won and they showed funny clips of him dancing in the dorm + he has that fiery, confident & sassy personality} **On the fence** 9). The Mashiro : G - Seok Matthew {Even though I TOTALLY see him being the Yurina of the show, I do think he is more of a producer’s favorite & has a bigger One-Pick fan base than she did; so he stands a chance} **Could be swaped out with almost anybody**

I think Gun Wook, Seung Hwan, Anthonny and Haruto are good alternates as well. I'm also very surprised that a lot of the early on stand outs like Ricky, Krystian and Woong Ki haven't been as prominent; I thought MNET would try and appeal to their popularity but I guess they're just laying the groundwork for their picks to succeed because I've only ever seen Ricky next to Zhang Hao and the camera has panned to Krystian for a second maybe 3 to 4 times throught episodes 1 & 2; while getting evil edited in episodes 3 & 4... But I think for Woong Ki, all he needs is a viral sassy moment during a performance and he's a lock for the group.

Sung Hanbin, not park han bin. They are different person 😭And I agree with Jay's part

@Wenni Oesman OOP yup totally got the 2 Han Bins mixed up 😅😅

spot on!

imo i think dayeon would be mirrored by gunwook because: 1. hes a jellyfish trainee 2. all in one package, rlly powerful dancer and great rapper, havent heard much of vocals yet 3. currently he’s getting the “great leader but very unfortunately lost, took the blow for other K trainees by gg against KTL G group” - remember ice cream that lost against salute? 4. pretty sure he’s gonna get an angel edit in the coming episodes 5. kind of got evil edited in the first episode, mnet initially presented him as someone who may be abit cocky / intimidating

Yoon Jungwoo slayed Backdoor so hard

My Top 9 Prediction: 1. Sung Han Bin 2. Jay 3. Gyu Vin 4. Yu Jin 5. Ji Woong 6. Matthew 7. Hoe Taek 8. Zhang Hao 9. Takuto

One thing I’ve learned with watching contests created by mnet is to never believe what is shown of someone’s personality. If they are starting beef with other contestants, just ignore it because we don’t know what has been edited bad or they were forced to do

my picks for g group are zhang hao, haruto, keita and matthew and also it hurts seeing people not even talk about cha woongi, my nugu baby
