[theqoo] THE PERSON WHO RANKED FIRST THE MOST AMOUNT OF TIMES ON PRODUCE 48 BUT ENDED UP GETTING ELIMINATED DUE TO RIGGING

An Yujin: I’d be happy to keep maintaining my 2nd spot but if I can get #1 from here..

An Yujin: … It would be nice for me too. You know how the human mind works/ I found myself thinking, “Maybe I could actually take first place?”

Lee Kaeun: If I’m not 1st, I’d be 2nd so…

Lee Kaeun: I wish I could maintain my #1 spot

Lee Seunggi: The first #1 main character is…

*Who is the main character of the ranking reveal?*

“#1, Pledis’ trainee Lee Kaeun”

Lee Kaeun: You suffered a lot. I’m going to carry you from now on, so please, don’t worry and just put your mind at ease.

1. At least X1 disbanded, the ones who really milked the situation for all it was worth were the rigged IZONE members… and their fans are the most shameless of the lot too. I hope this keeps getting brought back to the surface periodically so the issue doesn’t get buried

2. I’ll never forget how, right after the live broadcast ended, posts flooded every online community claiming the lineup was perfect and saying it was a good thing Lee Kaeun didn’t make the cut.

She wasn’t even my pick, but I felt sorry for her because it looked like there was a coordinated effort to leave malicious comments, and at some point, her screen time just vanished, too

3. Jo Yuri at least manages to pull off the look every now and then. But Kim Chaewon… seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. Whenever their fans reminisce about them being the best girl group, I’m just like, “Oh, really?”

5. I think she came out in a new drama lately. I wish her success

6. I don’t think Sakura would have actually ranked first.

Since the final live broadcast relied heavily on text voting—=m specifically the “one phone, one vote” rule for domestic viewers, the Japanese members couldn’t achieve the aggressive rankings seen in the earlier elimination rounds.

If the victims of the vote-rigging had been Japanese trainees, one could at least construct a logical argument that Sakura’s true ranking might have been higher; however, all the victims were Korean

7. This is exactly why I hate all the girls from Produce, especially because they whine about how “lucky” the LE SSERAFIM members are. It’s infuriating, considering the victim is still in the same industry, it’s not like their careers are that impressive anyway

8. Broadcasting stations slapped a total ban on X1 appearing on their shows, yet they let IZONE appear just fine, it’s honestly disgusting

9.Isn’t it a bit too much what they did to Lee Chaeyeon? She had ranked 3rd just before that, so not having her name called until the very end, even if it was just a rigged setup for the broadcast, must have been f*cking maddening for her
