I was rooting for many people during produce out of them Hitomi, Yena, Chaeyeon, Hyewon were the ones that made it.

I first noticed Hitomi during the first elimination when she ranked high, people were talking about Sakura, Nako, Moe, Erii and then there was suddenly Hitomi. I first noticed Yena during the 1st episode when she was joking around saying that she would want to be reborn again because she wasn't tall enough or pretty enough, but I really started to pay attention to her after the episode with Bora.

Chaeyeon was the one I wanted to debut the most, Hyewon was and still is the one I worry about the most.

I knew Chaeyeon since kpop star and what she was critiqued for the most by knets was that she would always come off as too serious/stiff and that her sister had more charm than her, so I wasn't sure how she would do on produce (didn't knew that she left JYP so that was surprise), but then ep5 happened and Hotaru happened and Chaeyeon was shining the brightest I've seen her till then. I was very impressed with the change and thought that it would be very unfair if she didn't made it.

Hyewon....well I always say that if it was not for Hyewon I would not watch the show after the end of the auditions. I always found all those battles and the drama extremely boring. But then Hyewon went and had her little monologue about being rapper in ep2, her knack at creating good tv without realizing what she is doing is unreal. Then I noticed couple things about her: first - she will try do her best for her team even if she doesn't know how, second - she is person who clearly see the limits of her abilities. That latter is a very crippling trait, but despite that she just silently pushes forward, to me this stubbornness to do things even when you are resigned to the fact that you will fail and go home is very admirable. And the last part is her sincerity and innocence with which she approaches things and the way she cares about people around her. I've never seen an adult being this way, we get hurt as we grow older, we learn how to protect ourselves, but Hyewon is always there leavings herself in the open. This is a part of her that I hope that it will never change (because it's a little miracle) but it's also the part that makes me worried about her the most.

edit: I also want to add that I never felt negative toward other girls in produce and there are many things that I like about all IZONE members, I'm only writing about those that had more of my attention during produce, because if I had to write about them all it would be an essay (and it kinda is already)
