This is going to sound horrible but Chaehyun is the one I can never remember.

Also, why wouldn't your main dancer (Xiaoting) be your center... I can even buy the visual (which is ALSO Xiaoting) being the center... The stupidity at WAKEONE never ceases to amazing me. Wasn't there a lot of rumors that Sakura actually won produce but they couldn't have a foreigner win it so Wonyoung was up? Sometimes I think being all knowing would be fun... but then I remember I would then know the extent of the stupidity in this world.
Xiaoting is the obvious center. later survival shows now say the winner only gets teh first single center.
i think much of the bitterness over Kep1er has less to do with who made the group but the ranking .. which is dumb.
For example if Hunning B were like 7,8,9 ppl would have been more chill. the final ranking were such a differance from before.
Sakura stans love that rumor.
but as someone who watched it and was in Korea and actually visited show locations during the show(talking to ppl on the street).
PD 48 was Korean only voting, and they went pretty ballistic over 7 j members in the ep 11 ranking.
My belief is the whole reason the pd cheated is because on the Tuesday before the final (when they decided to rig after seeing the interim rankings)
{very similar to the gp999 interim ranking there was one non Korean in the debut group, and she was not named Sakura}
So he took Sakura and the cutest of the remaining j girls and axed the 2 least cute ( in his opinion aka Kaeun and Chowon)Koreans that were in the group.
Xiaoting similarly was not in the Tuesday debut group (16th).
gp 999 handled it by publishing the ranking and panicking ppl also changing the weight of votes on the final day from 7x to 2 x.
