PRODUCE 101 SEASON 2 EP06 RANKINGS

As everyone knows, the current rankings based on online-votes are revealed through EP06 on 12/05/2017. A huge shuffle as everyone realizes. BoA did told them before they started choosing their cover song for Mission 2 – votes will reset after the 1st elimination so everyone starts from zero now. Tbh I wasn’t quite clear what actually happened to the rankings but as I see comments everywhere on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook etc I started realizing how did some (or almost half) of them rise so high up in rankings. People must be shocked seeing how Kim Samuel dropped from 2nd to 17th. How did Kang Dong Ho successfully went into Top 11 despite being at 20th for 2 weeks. How did Kim Jae Hwan went from 16th to 7th. How did Yoo Seon Ho get into Top 11 as well. How did Kim Sang Kyun (I was quite worried about his ranking last week) went from 43rd to 23rd. How did Yoon Ji Sung dropped from 3rd to 13th. How did Kim Jong Hyun went from 8th straight up to the 1st place. Resetting is scary tho. At first I was wondering did they even really deleted the so-called illegal votes coming from overseas, because I see 3/4 of NU’EST members are in Top 11 knowing they have larger fanbase overseas. Now I realized the deleting was real, they name it resetting – but doesn’t that indirectly means deleting ALL votes including local votes from Koreans? I was worried that people might start attacking on NU’EST again because of the overseas votes but instead that was exactly how Kim Samuel dropped I guess? His fanbase in China is too huge & that’s why he was constantly hanging around 2nd / 3rd on his ranking. But now that overseas votes are eliminated & at the same time the votes are resetted, there aren’t many Koreans left supporting him. I’m not an anti I have to say. It’s just that there are too many comments I saw about him being not that particularly attractive to Koreans.

Anyways, RESETTING sounds fair. If it wasn’t resetted, it’s always STILL be the same few people & it’s definitely difficult for the others to catch up no matter how hard you vote everyday. I have 1 Korean friend who told me that his friends gave up on voting because the votes for the same few Top 11 nominators are too solid so there’s no way for the others to catch up. (According to what happened in Season 1 it seems.) 

And it happens to reset just right when NU’EST is finally getting well known. It happens to reset just right when Kang Daniel’s foul play case gets winning effect. It happens to reset when Kim Jae Hwan is getting recognized for his amazing vocal after Min Hyun took him over to his Sorry Sorry Team 2. There are seriously a lot of fantastic vocals in this season but it was really lucky for him to be chosen by smart people. Hwang Min Hyun & Kim Jae Hwan definitely benefited each other. It happens to reset when netizens finally realizes those few on top are solely overrated. To be honest? Real talented trainees are all underrated while those overrated ones are really just some empty casings. Look at how people like Kim Sung Ri (C2K), Kim Yong Guk (Choon), Kim Tae Dong (The Vibe Label), Hong Eun Ki (GON), Lee Kwang Hyun (Starship), Yoo Hee Suk (Jellyfish) etc are stuck behind.

Underrated Trainees Part 2

1. Jung Se Woon 정세운 (Starship)

Well Starship, Yoo Yeon Jung the main vocal from 1st season. This kid might be really stressed. But he do have nice guitar skills & sweet voice. Oh and definitely a big dream – to be a CEO of an entertainment company one day. 😂 He performed Sugar with Lee Kwang Hyun on EP01 you guys can check them out, overall a good performance, both got graded B if not mistaken. You know the trainers are really strict in grading them 😐 like none of the NU’EST members are in B / A. You know what, just don’t trust the grades, they’re just there to confuse you 😈 I mean both first & re-evaluation. Felt a little sulky tho that he didn’t get to be the main vocal in Be Mine Team 2. But still, fighting! You’ll definitely do well in the coming missions! Eye Contact Fancam – BE MINE Team 2 정세운 

2. Kim Jae Hwan 김재환 (Individual)

Should I say if it wasn’t Hwang Min Hyun from Pledis who spotted his talent & chose him to be in his team, he wouldn’t get recognized that fast? I’m glad that MinHyun chose him & that he’s able to sing more in this mission. Don’t you guys think he covered the main vocal position in Sorry Sorry Team 2 too perfect? The whole performance was like “Damn why are you guys still here training? You guys should just debut right now!” Eye Contact Fancam – SORRY SORRY Team 2 김재환 

3. Kim Sung Ri 김성리 (C2K)

Okay because me myself I’m an Army so I’m specially giving more attentions to trainees who sang / dance to BTS Blood Sweat Tears in their intro videos. That was how I discovered him among all unknown trainees. Strong first impression does make difference it seems. If you were to say Call Me Baby Team 1 won because of Jang Mon Bok, I will tell you no, check his fancam out! His vocal is strong & stable. As I said, there are just too many amazing vocals in this season. You wouldn’t know who’s hitting the jackpot to the final round. Eye Contact Fancam – CALL ME BABY Team 1 김성리
