This literally ruined the reputation for those innocent members, now wherever they go they'll be referred to as the "cheater", even if they were innocent:(

To call them 'cheaters' is just stupid! They didn't cheat--the greedy SOBs who rigged the votes are at fault here!

[@ChrisBrengel]

@Salsa Bila Maybe they all ARE one hundred percent innocent. How is that anything like calling all of them 100% guilty?

[@ChrisBrengel]

@Salsa Bila Re-reading your comment I think I get your point. My first comment was assuming that they were all innocent. Wishful thinking, they might not all be. I'm clueless, so for all I know they were all in on it--I would be VERY surprised if this was the case though. I think I'm safe to say that the agencies and the guys putting on the competition started it all, not the members, so the majority of the blame (if there is any to be had) should not be one the members.

tbh this answers a lot of things for how the lineup came to be I was genuinely confused when I saw a lot of the members suddenly make it into the top 12 when they were always lower My reaction seeing it was legit: “wait wHAT” I was so certain some of the others would make it And it makes so much sense that they purposefully had Chaeyeon be the last to create drama I knew something was up omg I still support the group tho

[@sarah-po6lc]

i just feel bad for the others who deserved the spot more than some of the members in the final lineup... not saying that theyre not talented but some of the members of the final line up are just not ready for debut yet... i honestly feel that their live stages are a bit weak and underwhelming.. there are participants who are more ready to debut but were not given justice. All of the trainees deserved a spot of course, they were all hardworking and amazing! And the thing abt the looks is true too in a way.. some trainees were not korean standard and were overlooked&.. suhwan, one of my favs, was an independent trainee but he was one of the best singer and dancer in the show but he was short and he doesnt exzctly hv korean standard looks( i think hes SO ADORABLE tho, hes too nice for his own good) Jinhyuks spot was robbed (tho as a honey10 i rlly wanted him to come back to up10tion) Thats just my opinion😊

We never hated the members who got in, most of us love and support the groups, but we’ve always found it wrong how the lineups changed drastically on the last episode. That’s mainly the reason why I didn’t bother watching ProduceX101, the rigging was so evident since earlier seasons

[@rabinsam]

I kept telling myself not to watch Produce x 101 (this was after it was revealed that it was rigged) but I ended up watching it and actually was REALLY confused. In Produce 48 I think we could all tell it was rigged bc most of the ppl in higher ranks didn't make it into the line ups but in X1 the ppl who were good in the start made it (idk if you get what I mean) but if ali didn't know the voting was rigged, I would've totally believed it for X1

This makes sense why mnet always did “evil” and “selective” editing. I bet not only the votes were rigged but also who was getting screentime already decided. Cos you can rig someone all the way to the final line-up, but if no one knows who they are then they won’t even be popular and people would be even more suspicious. So they need to make sure to give those contestants enough screentime. I know all trainees worked hard despite some of them being rigged into the group, but what a waste of time, effort, stress, sleepless nights, energy etc for those who weren’t part of this and didn’t get to debut if it was already decided by producers that they wouldn’t make it.

[@kckanel2446]

But ngl yeah, I thought Kim Minkyu will be on the group because he has the most screen time (no hate) its mnet fault anyways😏🤷🏻‍♀️ but also the netizens starting to doubt when they notice that the line up is just too perfect🙄 and i dont think that they will disband cuz Iz*one and X1 bring a lot of money on the company that they are on right even tho X1 hasnt sign the contract yet.

[@harusaurus]

i know pm nothing about television production, but as someone who watches a lot of competition shows (not just korean ones) i can say with like 80% certainty that is probably exactly how they edit. i've noticed the winners/finalists/semi-finalists always get the most screentime and are always in the previews, trailers, commercials, etc. the people who make it the farthest are shown a lot right from the very beginning. hell, you can even tell who WON'T survive those first episodes based on the same factors. i couldn't tell you the purpose of this tactic on shows where voting is not involved and winners are chosen by the show's judges; i can only assume it's to make the audience "fall in love" with the winners over the course of the show so by the time it ends you want them to win. 🤷‍♀️

[@rarianexe]

Lol I think it's completely the opposite. They often tend to give some members more screentime so that they get more popular and then drop them from the final lineup because they gained some popularity and now can survive by themselves, and then often add the members who are talented and deserved to be in the final group but didn't get enough votes to do so. If that's the case we can't even say the selected members don't deserve to be in the final lineup at all!!!

[@Cat-sh5kr]

@@rarianexe "because they gained some popularity and now can survive by themselves" you're right, mnet is so righteous, they always think about the poor trainees, it's not like their companies probably pay to remove them from the final lineup or mnet just used their popularity for ratings and dropped them in the final for the drama. /sarcasm

almost all survival shows are rigged. They can’t have different type of people end up debuting if it doesn’t fit the concept. Like gaeun - the pledis trainee that debuted before. I heard they removed her out and added 1-2 in that was not in the rank. As much as i like her. She is a bit more mature so not only because of bribery. They would remove her either way cause she looks a bit older than all the other members. The vibe is so much different so im pretty sure even if she would rank 1 they will find out a way to manipulate and remove her.

Yep. In produce x 101. I think Minkyu and Jinhyuk will debut. Minkyu was always in top 10 in 11 eps but In the final, he dropped out and his rank is 17th, Minkyu looks like Gaeun and Jinhyuk looks like Miho, he tried to be high rank but in the final he dropped out. The first, I don't think Minhee and Hangul will debut .That is a big joke.

[@_daily_dose_of_me_7915]

andre1vilca what does ranking a or b have to do with anything that is based on the coach’s evaluation of their skills but the audience might think differently

[@whatup6479]

Jurina never fit their standards of A if that's what you were referring to . Usually if that's the case. It's usually because of the singing since she used heavy playback and the trainers hear their voice (w/o playback) while dancing . Sakura getting A is like Somi getting A . Star quality 😂

[@Riesjen]

What’s wrong with Sakura being 2nd? I mean she was VERY happy and THANKFUL to debut with Chaeyeon even though she is 2nd, and tbh she is OVER RATED so why don’t give other trainees chance to be center in the group?

IZ*ONE and X1 should continue and be managed by the company currently managing the group directly. All money that mnet was supposed to recieved should be directly be to the company, idol's companies or the idols themselves. Unless there is evidence that they knew, then they should not be attacked like this.

The companies are being investigated as well. Bribes had to come from somewhere so theyre trying to see who did what. Personally, I have a feeling X1 are basically done and I hope the members will be able to debut again with other groups/companies. Iz*one is a much harder situation to derermine.

Especially for the young members such as Wonyoung and Dohyun.
