For me, Gunwook hit me with Tomboy, like, I had always known he was good, but his performance with Tomboy was definitely it for me, that was the moment I actually realized he was that great in singing, rapping and dancing. Taerae's Man In Love made me fall in love with him, I can't count how many times I went back to his fancam

[@dmmultiiz]

mnet painting Gunwook as intimidating, rude, selfish person, to the point knetz made the whole hate train for him. Turns out he's just the softest cotton ball and being everyone's favorite, even all eliminated trainees keep talking about how kind and talented Gunwook is, that he's actually really cute and how they really like him, even Hui said that Gunwook is the one who took care his mental health in boys planet and Gunwook became his treasure. His fandom seriously amaze me during the final voting tho, the dedication and hardwork they put to make him debut is just insane. I'm so happy he made it, he deserved that spot.

[@yumixiaos]

also zhanghao. OMG - from the beginning, he had a huge responsibility being chosen as g1 by mentors and trainees, and he received a lot of comments about being 'nugu center' and 'first center to not debut' (because he did not have a previous fanbase like other global trainees who have been on other shows before). - he showed off his musicality, got all star in kick it, and kept his stars after re-eval. - he was an amazing leader in ktl and got the highest points + group win (a shame mnet didn't let the winning teams go to countdown here). - in the second mission, he chose tomboy, and while he did not have main a part, he was able to show how his Korean improved, his rap (yuqis part), and his vocals. he got the highest votes in product history (849) and the group won in the vocal+rap category - in the third mission, he was leader of the over me team, and he was not only able to show his leadership and vocals, but also got his first killing part. he made sure each of the trainees shined, and choreographed the dance break with his best friend after seeing how little lines he got. he ended getting a tie with haruto (852), and over me team won the artist battle. - for the finale song he was chosen as the killing part, and became p1 with just a 100k gap from sung hanbin, who was known to be the unbeatable center for his constant ranks. he's the first foreign trainee to be center in the produce series, and he has been winning from start to end

It was definitely their visuals that got them there, relative to the other equally, or even more talented trainees in top 18. but this lineup isnt untalented by any means, very cohesive and it works though I'll tell even my future children about the literal grief i felt when keita didn't make it

Zhang Hao definitely caught my attention during the auditions. Covering the higher part of any NCT 127 song is hard, but especially Kick It because you have to keep that crunchy dissonance for it to be right even though it sounds off and everything as a trained musician or vocalist would tell you it has to be wrong, and he Nailed it. I'm glad he got center in ZB1.

[@ai.rainii]

I think everyone in the line up were practically "hinted" of debuting from the start... Cause idk if its just my gut feeling but I knew about 6/9 of the ones on the lineup were likely to debut... I think its mostly as well because of the Talent the trainees already had and also their popularity from the start. Idk if I'll stan the group but this lineup is one of the best line ups from survival shows. They all have the visuals, talents, and popularity so I'm pretty sure they"ll be on about the same level as Enhypen before they disband. Good luck to all the members! Fighting!

1) man in love is where i decided that id be okay w taerae in the line up 2) gunwook took some time for me but it was totally en garde 3) for me ricky was sort of, I'll say, cringe during most of the show but tbh seeing him smiling with the other zb1 members, it made me happy and i knew the camraderie would make me warm up to him 4) zhanghao was kill this love 100000% the moment i saw that performance he was constantly on my mind 5) hanbin was his tutting with the dance master and seeing videos of him in predebut, it was so easy to fall in love with him as a trainee and I'm so happy for him

[@myathegrandma]

I literally feel in love with Taerae after he performed Boy In Love

[@asakomifune5430]

My opinion: Sung Hanbin - Here I am (there has yet to be a Signal Song Centre who didn’t end up making the group, and yes I’m counting Gaeun who was rigged out) Zhang Hao - Here I Am (same as Hanbin. All signal song centres made the group) Seok Matthew - When his Jelly Pop fancam went head to head with Zhang Hao’s in views (Matthew dropped to 9th the week before and many of his fans started to panic that he might not make the lineup. However he proved he had a very strong global 1pick fanbase when he nearly beat Zhang Hao in Jelly Pop views+likes. For me that was the moment when I knew Matthew was debuting for sure and his fans were panicking for nothing) Ricky - When he was announced as 4th place (Not many people expected Ricky to debut and those who did thought he would be borderline. When 6th-8th place was announced and Ricky wasn’t there many of his fans gave up or began hoping for P09. He definitely surprised a lot of people by not just debuting but also ranking highly at 4th. I don’t think anyone really knew he was going to debut until we heard his name get called) Kim Jiwoong - Back Door (Managed to rank 1st place in his group just by showing his abs even though he basically had no lines. Successfully led his team to MCountdown, proving that he’s more than just a visual) Park Gunwook - Kill This Love (Although Gunwook got a lot of screentime in Episode 1 the way they portrayed him was a bit dubious. It was only during Kill This Love where Gunwook got a good storyline of being the “maknae leader” who unexpectedly also has a soft heart. After that edit I knew he was debuting for sure) Kim Taerae - Man In Love (Taerae skyrocketed to #3 in K votes after his Man In Love performance, through Man In Love he was able to solidify himself as the K fans’ primary Main Vocal pick) Kim Gyuvin - When he ranked 7th place in the 3rd round voting (Although Gyuvin was popular from the start many started thinking he might not debut when he dropped to 16th in the 3rd round interim. However he managed to climb back to 7th indicating he had a strong fanbase and also managed to go viral for having good synergy with Somi, who later promoted him on Instagram. Afterwards I was certain he was going to debut) Han Yujin - Audition (he went viral for his visuals after his audition. Throughout the show he had one of the most crazy fanbases - an indication of a likely debut - and it all started with that first audition

[@17caratmonster14]

[@moguyangi]

I WAITED FOR THIS VID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO ACCURATE FOR MATTHEW, WE ALL KNEW "GIRLLLLLLL" GOT EVERYONE

[@yashinieves6799]

For me it was: Yujin: since the star level test. Mnet made sure to pay attention to specifically yujin Jiwoong: since the star level test. So many people were automatically in love Gyuvin: since he moved from 16th into the top 9 after panic voting in the semifinals Taerae: Man in love (need I say more) Gunwook: oddly enough, gunwook in en garde really captured me to the point I started voting for him. I noticed him during the star level test but because he was always just off of top 9, I didn’t think he’d debut Ricky: “young and rich, tall and handsome” Matthew: star level test but it didn’t solidify for me until kill this love stage Hanbin: star level test and the fact that he was K group center for signal song and we all know that’s a lucky position Zhang Hao: I thought he was gonna get evil edited tbh so I didn’t think he would surely debut until the kill this love stage.

[@comfyshoes1895]

For Gyuvin, I think it's when he was called as 7th in the last elimination. He was always popular but was never given much screentime or anything, so when he fell down to 16th that week it was a little like "oh?? maybe he's not so popular?". And then when he ranked 7th later that week it felt like it was decided that he wouldn't fall out of top 9 again For Ricky I think it's either back door or over me when he really got to show off his skills and not just do "young and rich tall and handsome" that proved he would debut. yeah he was popular from just his PR video but then with back door and over me he showed that he has star quality on stage too For Gunwook I DISAGREE SO HARD I didn't know he would debut until they called him as 5th 😭😭 I loved him in all his stages but I think he was the most unexpected for a lot of people because he was never ranked above 9th

Yujin: star level test. Mnet made sure to pushing him into our eyes Jiwoong: star level test. Those visuals OMG Gyuvin: he's popular since the beginning, but I started liking him in Love Killa/ En Garde. I think sexy/strong concepts really suit him Taerae: Man in love, and no one has a doubt with this one Gunwook: I noticed his talents since the beginning, but he completely got me with Tomboy performance. Ricky: I started to actually like him in Over me. It's HIS song and Jay's, in my opinion. Matthew: star level test because he's Hanbin's friend BUT I have to say that I fell in love with his talents in Kill this love Hanbin: star level test and K group center. Zhang Hao: he caught my attention in the star level, but he absolutely had me in Kill this love. Those vocals are insane. At this point I like them all, but only Hanbin and Zhang Hao were my picks. My perfect line up included them, Jay, Keita, PHanbin, Kamden, Jongwoo and Hoetaek. And if we count the other eliminated trainees, I include Seunghwan, Haruto and Wang Zihao

[@bellissima9906]

This show have two centers concept. K-Center(Korean) and G-Center(Global). So actually Zhang Hao is also the first center and he just didn’t get the killing part for theme song.

[@shiningtiger2034]

In my opinion: From the beginning/audition - Hao, HanBin, Yujin (the talent and support) Ricky - Over Me (I know he has a huge fan base but he definitely cemented his place with this performance) Jiwoong - either Backdoor or Say My name (say my name is where I saw he can do fresh/bubbly concept) Gyuvin - En Garde for me, I think that performance would have been better if he was the center, Taerae - No doubt it’s Man in love (probably one, if not most iconic moment - that smile while singing shot) Gunwook - Tomboy performance (definitely took me some time to warm up to him but he became cute) Matthew - say my name? I think? He was good in Kill this love but I for me he was 5/6 in that group) I think he matured quite a bit after that say my name hurdle.

When Yujin said noona I love you it just depends on the way you view it n understand but as someone who is a year older literally had me as a fan shook 🥲💓 pls support Yujin n ZB1

[@Dairy-bg6jh]

I notice taerae when man in love. I never know him before because i focused with my picks, and people comment about taerae and from this i know him He deserve to be in line up

[@rivertothemoon]

I think gunwook's was tomboy and jiwoong, although he was v popular since auditions, the love killa stage kind of really solidified his debut I'd say

[@byulxoxo]

i agree with most of these. for me,nwith gunwook, i'd say hot or tomboy. but nonetheless, i love how good the lineup is ❤

[@_yeonjun_noona]

8/9 top 9 actually made it except for Keita. I was so shook when Ricky was called as P04, I really underestimated his fanbase. But I'm satisfied with the line up, they suit each other well. ZB1 all the very best!

[@Nishimuranikien]

Ok line up problem, indeed I'm a bit annoyed. But please support those who are about to debut, instead of hating them, and saying they don't deserve to debut. They've worked hard, and you guys are ONLY bragging, because the trainees you picked didn't debut. :)) please support them ok! Even though it's a bit unfair, but all deserve debut. And for you damn creatures who say "better blah blah debut, he is talentless and doesn't deserve debut" you better shut up and touch the grass right now! And if someonr said Yujin and Gyuvin didn't deserve too debute , I will bite you!

[@mathangi748]

i really thought keita would debut 🥲😭😭😭 he was my one-pick 😭

[@enha_8184]

although im not very happy w the line up, I'm still stanning because of zhang hao and matthew

[@dokessezeaka5159]

I can’t lie, except for top 2, every other announcement shocked me

[@user-luciddream]

i disagree with gunwook and ricky. i didnt think ricky would debut until over me (thats when he solidified his kfanbase) and imo gunwook solidified his spot with tomboy. also i think zhang hao solidified himself as a p01 candidate with ktl and tomboy.

[@melissangwenya]

with Ricky for me was when he preformed over me

[@Sunyyy-]

So exicted for there debut

[@ur_moonkiel]

PREDEBUT STANS HERE LETS GOOOO‼️‼️🙋‍♂️

[@artloverrarts]

they need to PROTECT yujin coz ppl keep forcing him to say the noona i love you 😭

[@yumixiaos]

for me matthew stood out the most as a dancer in love killa and in say my name as a vocalist for hanbin it was the demo stage !! for zhanghao he killed it in kick it but what made me say like "oh he's debuting" was kill this love stage

[@crying_lightning_]

definitely agree with most of these besides gunwook tbh for me it was kill this love (ik it's just me who thinks this 😭)

[@l.o.l-rl1ej]

I don’t feel safe anywhere else, so I'll just say it here :) I personally think the other 9 contestants who couldn’t make are more suitable/stronger. EVERYONE is talented, but top 10-18 seem to have stronger creative skills and sections each of them is highly/mainly skilled at (Ex- Hui in vocal or Keita in rap). Tbh the other 9 trainees would be perfect as a group. I wish them nothing but success in their career. Also, the top 9 are really deserving after the experience they went through. I wish them a successful debut ❤

[@jaanhavis9208]

zb2 is what im manifesting

[@strawberryjam3356]

I admit I started watching bp bc of Ricky’s pr and I thought his skills were average and that he was just a very sweet fun person but his singing in over me threw me off like I didn’t know he could sing?!?!

[@elanes]

Yo no tenía en mi top 9 a Yunjin, Gyuving, Taerae, Gunuwook y Ricky pero con lo que he visto de ellos, son tan lindos y únicos que se han ganado mi corazón.... Me encanta este top 9

[@NightxLion]

agree with everything but for me taeraes moment was his forhead in backdoor ... I was like damn who is this , and I liked his singing so much in backdoor so yip ^^
