ran into a lot of issues with recording so this took longer to post than i expected, but i hope you guys enjoy!

[@achuuz]

I am honestly surprised that Mnet is giving Kim Jiwoong so much screentime and such a good edit so far. I thought being a BL actor and therefore having videos of him passionately making out with another man all over the internet would be too much of a brandrisk for them. Perhaps they weighed their options and ultimately just went "But he's so hot tho...", I hope they don't switch up on him later

[@serikeu]

i kind of thought the same?? he was getting a lot of homophobic backlash before the season started so i was worried the producers might sabotage him but thankfully they're not doing that and i don't *think* they will later considering that they aired him talking about BL

[@achuuz]

@serikeu That honestly SHOCKED me, I wasn't surprised that he would openly say that he's a BL actor because it's always been very clear he isn't ashamed of that but I did not expect them to A: Keep it in the edit and B: Show a clip from his latest drama. I hope he continues to do well. Speaking of, I'll go vote for him right now actually

[@taranoreilly5101]

I have a secret theory that they made this the gayest season ever on purpose to capitalize on shipping culture. Hanbin specializes in historically gay dances (whacking and tutting) and has a cute friendship with Matthew, Jiwoong does BL, Seo Won and Woonggi are in the same dorm covering Hype Boy, Doha confessed his love, Anthonny, Haruto, Kuanjui, Sungmin, Ricky, Jongwoo, etc etc

[@lightblueskies]

I think out of all the G-group trainees Seok Matthew actually has the highest chance of debuting. Yes even higher than Zhang Hao. He's ethnically Korean so he won't be negatively impacted by the nationality bias and Mnet has already given him plenty of screentime to establish him as his own separate person with a compelling backstory. Anthonny and Kim Taerae are both under W1 so I wouldn't count them out. Especially Kim Taerae, I think he has Kim Chaehyun upside to him. (And if Hui for some reason isn't in the finale I'd say Taerae's almost a guarantee). As for Jay, he's probably a shoo-in for the finale but I agree that the 50% weighing of Korean votes will likely keep him from debuting. There's no way Mnet will let Wang Zihao debut. He'll probably be gone after the 2nd round, and if he somehow sticks around he's still lacking in the Korean support needed to debut. Sure, Huening Bahiyyih had more international fans (ranking 1st in global votes) but she still ranked 7th in Korean votes. I don't think Zihao has that or will be able to cultivate that. The star support also doesn't fully show who has the most 1pick support bc people are able to use multiple accounts to vote for it, which isn't possible for the official voting.

[@deekshagopal8548]

I agree about Matthew!! I have a feeling that he can debut and be considered as a "Global" person despite being Korean. But I ain't complaining 💕💕

[@daze5901]

I'm not the best at analysing but I saw in the mnet app that Zihao haa the highest support like 80% or smth So how can he not debut when he has so much support from the fans

[@serikeu]

taerae anthonny and jay will probably all make it to finale so it wouldn't definitely wouldn't be impossible! for zihao you're probably right, i do still think his one pick will seriously catch a lot of people off guard but the chances of actually debuting are slim for sure. he'll have a lot of odds against him

[@lightblueskies]

@@daze5901 In GP999 there was a similar support voting. Okazaki Momoko won 1st place for it and she was eliminated in the first elimination. Her cell ranked 18th and she wasn't even the most popular trainee in her cell, Wen Zhe was gaining them most of their support (J21 vs C11)

[@takeshelter9253]

@@daze5901 mnet has two different votes, the vote you're talking about is "support vote". Yes, Zihao gets votes there faster than others, but this vote does not affect trainee's ranking in the standings, it just gives some bonuses to trainee, and this vote is individual. In the voting that affects the place of trainees in the standings and their passage to the next round, as of February 9, Zihao was in 38th place, in this voting you can only vote for 9 trainee at once, so even if you vote for your favorite, you will somehow have to vote for another 8 trainee, therefore, the results here can be quite unexpected. Sorry for my clumsy English, I hope that what I was able to explain clearly

I don’t like the rhetoric that anyone is guaranteed to debut, especially foreign trainees.

It’s unfortunate but especially after the latest episode, some knetz are saying they won’t vote for any Chinese trainees at all. So please vote for the trainees you want even if they seem popular online. nothing is guaranteed and knetz can and will turn on anyone, especially foreign trainees, easily!

He isn’t ranked high enough which was surprising to me because he has it all. Visual, Stage presence, Dancing, and Singing. He really ate it up during the first episode and I still can’t believe he isn’t ranked above. Anyways Gunwook fighting!! You will debut.

You would just never have any intimate or weird conversations with them, at best they’ll consider each other as family but not besties 😭 I can’t imagine hui doing all the rookie variety shows and games with them, that’s hilarious. I’m 18, my older brother is 29 too, THATS SO WEIRDDD to think of someone in a totally different life stage being in my friend group 😭

[@chiharu1576]

There's a similar case like that in PD101 Japan season 1. There's a 3 Koreans, which is ex Halo members (Kim Youndong, Kim Heecheon, and Jeong Younghoon) who joined the show, all of their rangkings was secured from episode 1 and guaranteed to debut. But right after the third elimination and before the final mission starts, Kim Heecheon left the show first and the two remaining followed. It was said due to personal reasons but I guess one of the main reasons all of them suddenly quit like that was because some of the "netizens" complained that it's too much if the three of them debut in the final group (JO1), it'd be a shame and pity for the remaining japanese trainees. I understand why the three do that but I'm not lying that it's heartbreaking when the news came out because they're one of my pick and got a great chemistry with the other trainees :') it's a shame because they were so hopeless that they even joined the newest produce show that's not even in Korea. they have to learn japanese, adapt and have a secured rankings but they decided to gave it to their japanese friends, they're so kind ugh I can't-- :( but now I'm happy that they have debuted in Japan, with the other 4 trainees from PD101 Japan that managed to go final but didn't get to debut lineup

I HATE the one pick system, if I'm voting for a debut group then LET ME VOTE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MEMEBERS IN THE GROUP!!! It's not like I want to be a solo stan, and ignore the other members of the group, I want to enjoy them as a whole, so I completely don't get why we're always required to vote for one or two people at the final. Loved the video! Exited to see how everything will turn out! Hopefully I'll like the debut members 😅

[@ni-kingtaehyunjkyoongs2758]

I don't think that's the problem I'm more then willing to like the group as long as my no1 pick. There's no excuse for the inhumanity people show to people that weren't in their ideal line up. And I'm not sorry but Im judging you for that if you get upset because you are greedy and want everyone of your picks to make it instead of being happy for the trainees. To me this is just an excuse people use fir themselves so that they can feel free to hate trainees they didn't want when the truth is you are just greedy shitty people. I think fans after having a few top picks should instead have a general pool of trainees they'll be happy with to like. I think is greedy to be upset if not everyone in your top 9 makes it and if you didn't vote for them then that's on you. I for one have a few picks that I like simply because of their relationship to my 1 pick but I'm not getting my hopes up and that's fine. I don't think there's any trainee I dislike or can't learn to love after all they'll be my favs teammate if my pick makes it.

[@justkeepgroovin]

@@ni-kingtaehyunjkyoongs2758 It's not like I hate the people that get to debut, for example for i-land I was voting for my faves but some of them didn't debut because of the lack of support from other fans and that was ok, but mostly I'm thinking about those times when very popular trainees didn't get to debut because they thought "oh that person is safe, so I'll vote for my second pick" and many times it resulted in the first pick not debuting. This happened with K from &Team on I-land, Gaku on &Audition and people on Produce too. So it's not that the others shouldn't have debuted or anything like that. Others maybe think so, but not me. Imo it just creates somewhat a mess when there could have been no mess at all by voting for the number of the debut members, because still the most popular ones would be the ones to debut.

@@Pr0d3gi i think there's a high chance that international fans will realizes that the only drama he's in is for his past cringy demeanor and see how much talent he has. Jay has proven time and time again that his singing skills and stage presence has been way too good (in another kpop survival show his talent was outstanding and obvious to be chosen but he didn't and fans were so confused/enraged why not). In the beginning I saw clips of him being cringy and I didn't like it but again it was years ago and if he is still like that today it wouldn't matter. He takes in feedback very seriously and is very reflective of himself (he's an introvert but on boys planet stage he makes himself extroverted to do his best stage that amazes the contestants and judges) and from episode 2 of his confidence lowering from seeing everyone on track (a lot of them are dancers and he is not - still a great dancer tho), when it came to perform for the judges he made sure to not whow his worries and insecurity and in the end executed perfectly from singing to dancing and facial expression. I can't believe I have to back him up but he's just innocent. He is reliable, reflective, and so outstanding. To any international fans that don't like him please don't fall into the propaganda. He says he find boys planet to be his last chance and he has been trying to debut for so long. If it's not Jay, then will he just be history? You can't look away from him hes always in your attention and thats what makes an idol stand out. Please support him and don't fall into the propaganda. He really is undeserving and its so great to see people recognizing his talent in episode 2 landing in top 9 🎉

@@texturedair2276 yesss, tbh I find Jay really cringey but his talent kinda overlooks that for me. He’s hardworking and is capable of growth, even if he doesn’t make it in the line-up I still think he’ll be able to be a successful western artist. The rumors about his racist past seems really fishy though, imo there is less evidence to back ppl’s claims. Jay has support from his ceo, friends, public figures such as alexa and kevin. He’s shown positive reception to lgbtq fans, protests, and parades. And by the way people are reacting by calling him derogatory terms and dogpiling on him without actual evidence (that can be easily edited) looks like another case of cancel culture (ex. garam, woojin) That is to say though, I’m neutral.

I'm honestly rooting for Keita because he has gone through YG training, which is like wild as fuck!! Like did you see his performance on Block B's "Zero for conduct"?? He was so relaxed and he slayed... It's weird that he's not on the Top 9. Zhang Hao said in one of the episodes that some of the K-Trainees don't have outside experience and he's worried for them, and I understand where he is coming from. Debuting is like landing on a huge job in a successful company thanks to a whole lot of past experiences and training. I'm aware that there are people who have debuted despite having 1-2 years of training, but different people have different abilities. I feel like anyone who takes Rank 6 is safe. This is because CLC Yujin was ranked 6th in the beginning and then she started go rise up. But Hui needs to be careful because he's not confident with his dancing. I remember one of the judges saying that they are looking for singers first, so Hui has a great benefit. In terms of support points, Hiroto, Zhang Hao, Wang Zihao has so much support!!

[@serikeu]

We have people like Olivia Hye who debuted in Loona after one day as a trainee. However Olivia Hye did train in a dance acedemy. Normally idols with short training times usually have experience some other training like vocal and dance academies so they have the skills to debut even if they did not train with the company for long.

[@psychedelicacynical]

to further clarify (not saying that you're wrong), what Zhang Hao was actually saying was that Yuehua K trainees did not undergo any training/classes outside of Yuehua's own internal training system.....Yujin and Gyuvin were probably too used to Yuehua's instructors' training styles and pace, hence they kinda struggled at the start trying to learn the signal song from the dance masters

We’ve already seen how those 3 are stable as the top 3, but Zhang Hao hovers around 7th place, which makes me nervous.

[@lourdesmiranda8837]

i think one-pick voting will benefit hui and kim jiwoong the best. hui has a great fandom in South Korea and from what i've seen jiwoong has tons of fans internationally. i'm just shocked that hui's international fanbase is torn between keeping him in pentagon or making him redebut in a new group. they should consider what made hui decide to be in show in the first place. if he knew that pentagon was in safe hands he for sure wouldn't have been a contestant in a survival show. so im rooting for hui to be in the final lineup.

hui does have a TON of support in korea and will definitely be a top pick for more casual watchers or kpop fans there. and i do agree that pentagon is probably in a lot more trouble than we can see

@@Multifandomgirl1499 He said why in the 2nd episode. Hui said after he got out of the army, he got back to Pentagon and the people who they used to work with didn't even want to work with them anymore. He then started thinking, "Are we really that bad that people don't want to work with us"? I think as the leader of Pentagon, he feels a lot of pressure to at least get his name out there and then, maybe more people will listen to Pentagon. I myself knew of Hui but never realized how talented he was until he got in this show, and I think a lot of people will see his charms/skills though this show.

If anyone can debut on pure talent it's him. Let's hope for the best 🤞 And kpop idols are often required to act cringey anyways (on variety shows, at fanmeetings and in MV's depending on the concept), idk why people act like it's a negative when in reality he has extra experience for the job

Wang Zihao is one of the trainees that can absoluty debut if he can advanced to final. Wang Zihao already possess 1 pick fans despite of lack of screentime.

[@rockstarwithoutastar]

About Seunghwan, I feel like he's getting more and more popular recently and he's definitely a strong candidate for actually making it to the top 9 at some point of the show, he's literally got everything to debut again. There's 3 contestant that I'm 100% sure will make it unless they suddenly start getting evil editing (I don't think that'll happen though) : Hanbin, Zhang Hao and Jiwoong ; it wouldn't make any sense if they end up not making it to the group. About Yujin I don't really know how I personally feel about him yet, but he's growing on me! I really want Taerae to debut but he has almost no screen time at all, like people know him yet people don't know him at the same time :'DD ?? I also wanted to talk about Doha, I see two possible outcome for him. We'll have a Minkyu situation again (people are making fun of him everywhere), he's still really popular, he'll make it to the final without debuting and he might focus more on acting. Or he'll get a Sohye (IOI) situation were he actually debuts. I have a soft spot for trainees like him ; despite having a short training time I don't think he's that bad actually, I see him more on the rapper side and I hope we'll get to see that later on the show. He seems really passionate about was he's doing and he is willing to improve and show a better version of himself, he's also surrounded by top trainees which can be really helpful, he'll get to improve in such a short period and take the role of the dark horse perhaps ? For Hui, I don't really know if I want him in the lineup. Especially if the group is going to be a permanent group ?? Another comment said that already but I also feel like he's not planning on getting in the final lineup and is mainly participating to bring more exposure to Pentagon so I'm feeling a bit conflicted about his case. Anywayyyy I'm so excited for this week's episode, this is gonna be interesting to see if the producers will keep highlighting the same trainees, I'm pretty sure this round will play a big part on determining who might actually make it to the final top 9. Oh yeah, here are my picks : Doha, Haruto, Taerae, Seunghwan, Jay, Ricky, Seowon, Hanbin and Zhang Hao

[@serikeu]

i have a soft spot for doha too ☹ the possibility of top trainees helping him improve is definitely a kind of story arc i could see for him! and the group almost definitely won't be permanent, when they opened applications for the show this seemed to be the route they wanted to take but they can't do that now since the contestants are from other companies

I feel like they might want to keep Jay in the sense if they want to go global like America they have an English speaker. But seok Mathew could also fill this role. If I were mnet I would try to get Japanese contestants to break into the Japansse market. Chinese contestants are somewhat of a low priority bc they can't really promote in China. But China bars would increase the sales of the group. Also I feel like girls planet some people are just filler votes. So some at the top will end up dropping drastically in the end. Until the 1 pick system comes into play it'll be hard to tell

[@michelewilliams87]

Found this after ZB1 members have been chosen. I went and watched the series again and took notes. I knew that Han Bin and Zhao would be chosen from the beginning. They were both promising and good partners. Jiwoong was my favorite because I knew his bio and back story. Jiwoong was the person to go to. He is a good listener and his visuals are undeniable. I was a bit worried when he dropped in ranking. Yujin was so lovable and they showcased him a lot. Park Gun Wook, I could see his potential and power. I could see him fighting for a spot each week. He is an all-rounder. Seok Matthew, I was surprised on his top ranking at first but now that I’ve gone back to watch him. He has such a great personality. I think being close to Han Bin and also Jiwoong helped him. Matthew had a lot of good singing parts and was showcased a lot by producers. Kim Tae Rae was not a strong candidate out of the top contestants. He was showcased a little but then he made a wise choice in “Man in Love” That song put him in the spotlight. Out of all of the members, his voice is the most distinctive. The viewers and myself fell in love with his voice and dimples. Gyuvin and Ricky had some really good edits. I think they were helped by the producers and fan base. Gyuvin is underestimated. I saw his performances again and he is a strong dancer and I don’t think he has had a strong vocal part but he is so good looking. He got a huge advantage when he received the bonus points and Love Killa” received the award for the week. For me, Ricky’s personality puts me off. But I’m warming up to him since the debut. Hui was my favorite and the most talented singer. His voice is The Best out of all of the 93 contestants. He ranked high because of his fan base but then I think his fans brought him down too. It was clear midway in the season that people did not want him to break from Pentagon. I think Hui didn’t fit the vision that the producers had for this new group. I became of fan of Hui and Pentagon because he deserves to be supported. Now for the ones on the edge of debuting: Keita, I think he is definitely talented and would have been a good addition due to his rapping and dance skills. But I think he is not memorable enough when up against the others. I loved him in “Zoom” Jay, so close. He is likeable and talented. I can’t say anything else. He deserves to debut. His voice is the best along with Hui. Jay should have received more votes but he was always getting pushed to the background, maybe because he’s too American? Park Han Bin, he was always one of my picks. He was always smiling. I loved him in “Law”. I watched that performance again. It was such an amazing performance and Han Bin was a strong leader. Top 20 we’re all strong contenders. Yoon Jongwoo, his performance in Back Door is unforgettable. Seo Won-cutest smile, always gave his best Seung Eon-beautiful vocal in Say My Name Wang Xi Hao was strong performer too In the end, anyone in top 20 were candidates. There could have been 2 groups to debut. ZB1 is doing awesome. The guys are working everyday to be successful. They are on their way with a couple of Music Award show wins.

I don't think hui will make the final group because he really does not fit the image that mnet will be going for, I think they're gonna do everything they can to get him out of there, in which case taerae will be pushed as main vocal.

the saddest scenario would be.. we will only get 3 g group particpant in the final lineup.. worst if we only get 2...

[@serikeu]

sadly these are the two most likely cases :(

[@angelakiprevski7352]

Idk about Hui not ending up in the debut line (I feel like he's way too talented and seasoned not to, but he is older than what MNET and most kfans want). I do feel like Hui joining Boys Planet likely means that Pentagon won't resign or have already quietly disbanded, because as far as I know their contract with Cube ends late 2023 (correct me if I'm wrong) which pains me a lot. Also, the fact that Hui and another Pentagon member wrote WannaOne's Energetic stings. This must be so humbling for him (probably not in a good way) but he seems to be a fair sport about it til now.

[@serikeu]

it's definitely sad to watch. i think his options might be even worse than we know because he probably had to swallow a LOT of pride to make this decision

[@Hellmaria]

Pentagon did not disband (yet). They have concerts planned until June.

[@musicalls4all]

ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ I have no idea what will happen in the future. Last year before vlive officially ended, two members reassured us not to worry, and "nothing's going to change" even though we might feel like that. And one member (Shinwon,) who has a radio show, told us that he is someone who sticks to same places, and contracts. (Which is a really strong hint of whether he'll re-sign... ) Everything is so unclear.... Today PTG is performing at MIK Festival in Paris, yet CUBE (as always) never told us how many members will be there ...

[@perfectpmh1020]

Cube didnt really treat Pentagon as a disbanding group. They were highly active last year already deciding on the comeback and preparing for it. It looks more like this opportunity came in the middle to pause the current plan and try for aiming more general attention through Hui. The story they spun around Hui is was different from actual reality, which makes it quiet weird to watch but I guess as long as Cube gets those stats out they want Hui can drop out on his own merit before the show ends.

[@ilse1301]

im really rooting for park hanbin!! im sad to see his popularity isnt that big, i expected him to gain a lot of recognition too😭especially because his bluebhair stood out- but being a name twin with one of the most popular trainees might also negatively impact :,)

[@serikeu]

i don't know why i didn't think about this but for the final prediction i didn't really consider the rankings themselves. i just put the guys in there in a rough order of who i think is most likely to make it so the rankings don't really mean anything 😭 also since this is a long video you might want to watch it in 1.5x speed!

[@kyowoir7719]

yess 😭😭

[@8cearts]

Am I the only one who doesn't see Hui debuting? Like he is way older than the other contestants and yes he has a big fan base but if he doesn't debut I'm sure he could always go solo (he has enough talent and experience to do so), and thus I kind of don't want him to debut with boys planet (no hate at all, I like him as much as everyone else), because it feels like he'd be taking the spot of another talented contestant who has less chance of debuting if he doesn't make it with boys planet >>>> it's just my personal thoughts, it's okay if people think differently

[@hearteuyoo]

Completely agree. Especially from Korean forums I see a lot of Korean say that they think Hui is too old for the group (contrasting with han yujin) so they won’t vote him. I’m not sure if the international fan base is huge enough to make him to the finals. I actually made a prediction video of boys planet final line up btw! Feel free to check my channel out if you’re interested haha

[@ateezsatiny161]

i have a plan for this!! my phone is already full of a bunch of notes so you can definitely expect it :)

[@user-tf2yp4dr1g]

seunghwan definitely reminds me of seungyoun and i'm so glad you said it bc i thought i was the only one lmao. i think seunghwan is definitely going to be the dark horse and make it in the final line up. he's popular but not necessarily in everyone's top nine so i think he'll slowly creep up ppl's lists as the season carries on. vote for seunghwan everyone!!

[@yooyeonie]

i really hope jay will get more edits, so far hes gotten a lot of screentime, i need him to debut with keita

[@junkyuformainvisual]

Jay is one of my Main picks, and I'm pretty sure he isn't debuting. I think producers are setting him up for failure the way he's getting good edits on early episodes. Seok Matthew is very likely to debut with how his storyline is being played out. He's pretty well rounded, and I might be delusional, but I think he can pull of a Somi and rank number 1 on the Finale. As much as I don't want Han Yujin to debut(because of his age), He's definitely going to debut, and I think a good center candidate. I just see him as the Wonyoung/Ahn Yujin of this season. Hui could have a similar fate as Yujin(clc/Kepler) but the thing is, I don't think Hui wants to win. Every 'already debuted' idol in this shows always state that they want another shot at debut but Hui only wants validation(?) Idk I don't really mind him in the group, he's a good Vocalist too. Also I think Hiroto is the safest Japanese trainee to put in the group and the producers want him over Keita. I don't see the problem in debuting them both though. Hanbin is fully eligible for the center position of the final group. The 'signal song center curse' isn't technically true since Sakura was supposed to be the final center(yes I will die on this hill). Kim Jiwoong is Kim Jiwoong. He needs to debut for the gays.

[@junkyuformainvisual]

I forgot to put that Back Doha and Jung Mingyu can pull a Hyewon and Minju move and debut solely for their visuals.(insert Ma Jing Xiang too)

[@maevak832]

@@junkyuformainvisual hard on the Ma Jing Xing bcs suddenly I saw him pop up everywhere and after ep 3 the crowd was going wild during his parts

[@lauraagarh]

Nah Mnet prefers Keita over Hiroto, they don't give Hiroto screen time but he has a very strong fanbase so he has a lot of chances to debut

[@cristinaolmos8403]

My personal picks (not necessarily in a particular order) are: 1. Kim Gyuvin 2. Han Yujin 3. Sung Hanbin 4. Park Gunwook 5. Kim Jiwoong 6. Seok Matthew 7. Keita 8. Zhang Hao 9. Jay The first 6 are my non negotiables, if they don't debut I'll be throwing myself from a bridge :)

[@nebula8799]

Coming to this vid after the finale and 5/9 predictions were true, and I'd also like to share my thoughts on what happened. Most surprising thing that happened: Zhanghao center, 4 yuehuaz, C-line being in top 4. And explanations for why I think each member debuted and why I think Keita didnt bcs he was so robbed. - Zhang Hao: Loved by both knetz and intl fans, pretty obvious - Sung Hanbin: Same explanation as hao. - Seok Matthew: Say My Name edit almost became his down fall, but seokryudans went crazy in final week. - Ricky: Popular from PR video and a lot of knetz liked him - Gunwook: Im not super sure but i think his is from promotions his fans did + appeal his personality - Taerae: got low screentime till the very end but knetz fell in love from vids like ireumi boyeo and man in love. last interim woke up kkultaraes who were rotating and managed to put him back in top 9 Gyuvin: Extremely popular in korea but got unnecessary hate from intl voters and got called a "dozen" (term should've never left ncity) Jiwoong: Pre-show popularity but also got hate from ppl who watched the show exclusively on TikTok Yujin: Again popularity in Korea, almso thought he wasnt ginna make it bcs i didn't see that many votes in one pick but k-netz saved him Why Keita didn't debut: Although extremely popular internationally he got a lot of hate from knetz foe the most uselsess things and P18 in k-votes.

[@ivyofskies9797]

gunwook is super popular in japan and he had a strong 1 pick as he had few filler votes.

[@yuwenli7254]

ricky was always popular but he definitely got more popular during over me because he gained a lot of recognition for his vocals

[@loonanter]

this video pretty much summarized my thoughts on possible line up however i hope seunghwan and matthew could make it to the final top9 (maybe instead of junghyun and hiroto respectively if mnet will choose to push lsh a bit more)

@@Titi23281 things were slightly better in episode 3 but we just have to keep rooting for him

[@lucidreamies]

I don’t know if it’s just me, but after episode 3 I can see Jay debuting. I feel like they are pushing him much more than Hui. Jay has great vocals, and they are really highlighting them. Also the fact that they totally cut Na Kamden’s rap just to focus on Jay’s voice really shows who they want to shine. Idk I feel like so far he’s their ideal main vocalist. I just don’t know if he’ll have enough Korean support to make it into the top 9. 💔

[@beboo9607]

I noticed this too. They like him.

[@sincerelyAly]

or maybe they using him to make hui shine, y'know, the "main character needs competition" trope. this is just me overthinking. anw, jay all the way 🥂

[@beboo9607]

Also, to add something - idk but on the first episode, Hui said something about taking his seat as the no. 1 and challenged the trainees to take that spot from him. I feel like that's foreshadowing and he also came in last to the studio. He came as an 'idol', not as a trainee. I feel like him joining the show is just for publicity. But anyway, that's just what I observed. Cus it's so weird for him to join and compete with the trainees. Nothing against Hui, but that spot could've been for an aspiring idol and he already had his time.

[@darao.4907]

he’s a great rapper! he’s part of the 9 im voting for

[@tiffbozz19]

Gun wook was a contestant on a survival show called Wild Idol. He made it all the way to final round and just missed out on making the debut lineup. He was really good on that show and I was really rooting for him. I think he’s grown a lot since then and I think that previous experience of being on a survival show is helping give him confidence to step more into leadership, take charge roles and the other jellyfish trainees seem to really trust his judgment probably because of that. He knows how these survival shows go. I think he has a lot of potential to make it really far in this show and I would love to see him finally debut

[@milicatest9206]

I really want Ricky to debut🥺

[@ramonerizzler]

I don't watch boys planet, but I do watch a lot of videos/clips about them. From the beginning, it was obvious that mnet is catering towards the international audience quite heavily this time, because they obviously make up a majority of the fans. I saw a lot of tiktoks about them singing and dancing really bad on purpose, and it was hilarious. Which is what mnet is going for. International fans love funny content, and the BL actor getting treated very well is sure to attract hordes of fans. It looks like mnet is also shipping (?) contestants? Or like leaning towards them a bit? I'm not sure but that was the vibe I got off a few clips, and fans love gay content. A lot of people were going around saying that they wouldn't watch boys planet, but after the extremely genz introductions, everyone jumped onto the bandwagon. I was, and still am tempted to watch it too because all of them seem so fun but like I don't want to get attached 😭
