well, yeah. its pretty confusing when the episode didn't mention the F rank at all and no1 is being ranked F but then the F rank apparently magically appeared when they did re-evaluations. i don't see what the purpose is. so i would like to hear the explanation given in the next episode.

i'm just realizing that like most of the people in the current top 10 have bad grades. this is going to be fun

this is so confusing guess we'll find out friday.

they showed hyungjun in the jima perf tho......they wouldn't have shown someone that was F or X or whatever in the episode... lee dongwook did not mention an F rank. it went from D to X. and no1 has been given an F out of the auditions they showed so far. it goes straight to X

x basically is F, it was replaced and now has harsher restrictions. pretty sure after re-evaluations mingyu at least went up. cha junho was nowhere to be seen in _jima performance tho so he was prob still x.

if you mean mingyu i'm fairly certain he was D or C. in his solo cam you can see hyungjun and i'm pretty sure he was in D too.

junho aand mingyu both had low ranks apparently either x or d iirc

the ratings were pretty good tho tbh. not that far off from s2 first episode nationwide numbers from AGB Nielsen: s2 ep 1 1.638% vs pdx ep 1 1.448% higher than the first episodes of s1 and pd48. it will only go up from here

its honestly so pathetic how these high school thugs always think they can just turn around and become celebs like the people who were effected by them won't want to come out an reveal their true nature. i've already seen someone talking about how it was "in the past" and he "might have changed", but he's not that old. high school was just a few years ago for him...

not to be that person, but its kind of obvious seobin got some plastic surgery. not sure if he did anything to his eyes but js, if he went as far as to legally change his name....

but thats the thing, idt he was TRYING to make people laugh. he was just bad.

kinda late but i finally watched the ep and have to say, i'm disappointed in the starship trainees. for all their hype and popularity they give a lackluster performance and then anger the judges when they're being handed opportunities to prove themselves individually? idg what they were thinking. i still support hyungjun and jungmo and wonjin obviously redeemed himself by getting to A but they definitely let me down there.

js, about half of the final lineup is usually in the ep 1 top 11 rank. i rlly don't think there will be many drastic changes from here on out. people with strong, loyal fandoms from day 1 can survive it all tbh. just look at jihoon. he went viral for a sigle moment before the show started and got payed dust throughout and still came out on top. ranks will change sure, but i don't expect any more than maybe 2 completely unexpected trainees to make the final group. anyone who has more than a 50% chance of making it (sans anything shady mnet may or may not do in the end) is at minimum around top 20-30. just want people to be realistic bc disappointment is a bitch.

my predicted line up vs their ranks in the first ep 1. cha junho woolim (4) 2. yohan oui (3) 3. kim mingu jellyfish (1) 4. koo jungmo starship (2) 5. son dongpyo dsp (6) 6. kim wooseok top media (5) 7. lee jinwoo maroo (10) 8. kim hyunbin source (28) 9. song hyunjun starship (9) 10. lee eunsang bnm (14) 11. joo changuk woolim ( 24) 12. lee sejin ime korea (8) i wasn't that far off

Apparently his friends debunked this

Sihoon is the blue haired one. The one who did the high note is junghwan. I also think one if not both of them will garner some attention besides eunsang

starting to wonder if there's a possibility for 2 bnm boys to make it again. i think eunsang has the highest chance of the lot bc he seems friendly with not only a lot of the popular trainees but friendly in general which will reflect good on him throughout the show. sihoon also has the potential imo. but its just hard to foresee which way it will swing with starship and woolim having a high probability to snatch multiple slots.

he's still not a standard, by the book visual like many of the others this season lol

its the jisung effect. if someone is quirky/entertaining enough people will overlook visuals

I dont get where yall are getting sm is pushing yuri...it doesnt even seem like he's that popular with kfans like.

ok? is that supposed to matter to me? lol. this list was made from my personal comprehensive look into people kfans seem highly interested in and that mnet also seems to favor. also taking into consideration how many people from popular companies mnet would try to push/let get in.

early final group prediction. the order may or may not be a hot mess but i get strong vibes 1. cha junho woolim 2. yohan oui 3. kim mingu jellyfish 4. koo jungmo starship 5. son dongpyo dsp 6. kim wooseok top media 7. lee jinwoo maroo 8. kim hyunbin source 9. song hyungjun starship 10. lee eunsang bnm 11. joo changuk woolim 12. lee sejin ime korea honorable mentions: plan a seungwoo, minhee starship, midam, jyunhao yg def top 20 vibes. not rlly feeling a complete dark horse thing happening but time will tell. maybe sihoon bnm or seobin jype.

it probably grew that way? thats usually how people get it. edit. oh i didn't realize you were asking why it was gone. i'm dumb sorry lol

there is a picture he posted of himself as a child with a white woman who he said "was not his mom but his aunt". i was under the impression he had an ethnically russian mom, tho its true he doesn't look mixed. its called a snaggletooth? lol park woojin from wanna one has one too.

make a heart if you're gonna be in the final group
