News Ahn Joon Young PD admits to manipulating results for Produce 48 and Produce X 101 but not seasons 1 & 2 of Produce 101 (1 Viewer)

[RandAlThor]

I have zero clue about x1 dudes and agencies so i will address 48
OK as a monster fan aka wizone i feel safe making this list( ie folks can not paint me as a hater :) ).
i fans / kura stans wet dream is Wonyoung fixed to first. ( i actually think that is unlikely she was strong and out ranked kura every ep but that crazy 2 pick one.)

if Starship is involved in pd 48 then ( but they did not arrest that guy) it would have been to save Yujin which will be awful for her confidence, but i also think that unlikely .

Woollim has been mentioned but i think Eunbi is safe and Chaewon was on a monster up trend buzz wise in both Korea and Japan. And her China numbers seem to bear that out.

The PR Disaster in the making if its Chaeyeon. (i have suspected that they ask the finalist to get Wonyoung to say Kaeun and Sakura Chaeyeon, but Wonyoung went the safe well spoken way she normally choose.)

Yuri would cast a Massive shadow since she is technically in house.

Minju also showed real growth and had the more compelling Soyhe story actually as she vastly improved just from the confidence boost.

Hyewon could have been a producer pick from the moment she started playing so well.

Hitomi , Nako and Sakura were pretty much locks as young skilled versatile j line members( and they pushed Sakura hard but she and Nako are used to the company pushing them.)

Miho and Miyu i do not think could have survived the 2.5 years living in the dorm necessary lifestyle.

in ascending order.
Nako
Chaeyeon
Yuri
Eunbi
Hitomi
Yena
Chaewon
Hyewon
Yujin
Minju
Wonyoung
Sakura

At the end of the day this group is Pretty darn perfect. That may actually be the indicator

Pretty sure Takeuchi Miyu was kicked out for whatever reason.

Won't japan get very upset with this?

I’m still curious who Mnet and Starship pissed off. I do think s1 and S2 were the most sincere. The love S2 still has is undeniable. But at the same time, Produce has created horrible results from evil editing that has affected trainees immensely.

Pretty sure Takeuchi Miyu was kicked out for whatever reason.

Yeah, they tried to give her the devil editing in the finale but I doubt that would've worked since they basically ignored her for the full season and everyone still voted for her regardless. To be honest, I think the J line were only ever meant to help sell records in Japan so having a Japanese member that was only popular in Korea was never in Mnet's game plan...

 

[Darkseid]

With IOI the lineup seems pretty plausible, MBK is a little sketchy, so Chaeyeon could be a PD pick but she was pretty popular too. It was obvious Somi and Sejeong would be top 2 though.
IZ*ONE, I do think the Starship duo of Wonyoung and Yujin would've made it in regardless, I only have my doubts on Yuri and Chaeyeon, but their addition actually makes the group better so I'm conflicted

lol at this point i just hate the kids who cried over x1.

Whats done is done and all they have done is spread their miserableness and hate to the entire groups.

Its too bad that fixing went on, but the kids will just continue too be the victims here. They will not help the kids who did not make it worst cast 1 - 3 people were left out in each group yet they will destroy the entire group and likely all of the kids futures because of actions not their own.


It will be ironic that after all the shit that went down this year the only person that gets prosecuted will be a reality show vote fixer.

Pretty sure Takeuchi Miyu was kicked out for whatever reason.

Miyu pretty clearly never had wide solo fan-base support i was in Korea during the weeks of the filming concept evaluation and of the people i talked to she was far down the list. When ever i brought her up they were like who?
She is better off at mystic, really being in an iz one type group did not suit her personality. She did not fit in AKB and a kpop gg is even farther from her comfort zone.
