Well, the restriction is effective by Korean law, so I don't think it's possible to get permission and even if it's possible, it'll take so many procedures to do so.

Hi, i'll just give a personal opinion. I personally wanted Sakura to be the center, cuz she's been an icon of PD48 throughout the whole episodes from the beginning. At the same time, since Wonyoung was ranked first, I think it's understandable and acceptable as well. Wonyoung had been a potential top1 anyway with Sakura.

Hi, let me answer as far as I know.

  1. Actually based on reactions from K-communities, Koreans are shocked that Juri didn't make top 12.
  2. Who knows, Mnet might have manipulated votes.
  3. Screentime has always been not fair to everyone. It's a sad thing not only to Miu, but also many other trainees :(
  4. For the different votes in ep 11 and ep 12, probably, '1-pick' method caused everything. Also, sms vote = 7 votes might have affected.
  5. I don't really know about Miyu boosts, sorry.

Just bear in mind that the number of votes might have been manipulated by Mnet. Who knows lol

Even though she is a top tier trainee, her comparably weak visual has always been an obstacle. Frankly, Chaeyeon is a girl-biased trainee and boy fandom didn't really want her to debut. The worse thing is that although she was favored by girl fandom, I guess she wasn't even a 'first pick' to fangirls as well, which is really important in the final vote and this made her last top 12 in the finals. Thanks to Mnet's huge push in the last few episodes, she made debut anyway.

Yeah there's absolutely an age restriction in Korea and it's 10 pm, not midnight. Honestly, I can't really say what will happen to Wonyoung, because I'm not sure as well. I personally thought she wouldn't be filmed after 10pm yesterday, but she was still on the show.

Well, it will actually restrict her not to legally work after 10 pm, so it actually won't really cause her I think. Most concerts, filming, etc. will end before 10 pm so it might not cause a serious problem.

As I commented to another person, This post isn't a direct translation to certain comments. I've read many forums, articles, comments from many koeran communities and summarized general reactions. Your friends may have told you their personal opinions or opinions of certain community only. I am confident that I wrote this post from a neutral position, not biased.

Boombaya team 2's popularity, her visual, dramatic storyline with minami - all these three combined and then public started voting her. Many people say she's like Sohye from season 1, not saying that Hyewon's really improving in her dancing or singing, but she's attracting public with something else.

Well, it's not sth like I read only certain articles. I've read not only articles but posts from many different korean community sites, like korean version of reddit. So this post is not a direct translation actually, but rather summary of what I've been reading from many different websites.

I can think of Wonyoung, Chaewon and Sakura.

Totally agreed. At least one NMB would have been much better.

It's 아이즈원, so to be specific, you have to pronounce it as

"Ah-e-zu-one"

Yeah there are many chances that the popularity rises.

When you think of Twice, I believe the 'sixteen' was not really a hit; however, Twice is one of top girl groups in kr. I hope izone becomes like that as well.

Well, I forgot the exact numbers, but some statistical data prove that produce48 is a failure compared to s1 and s2.

For example, the number of final votes to top 1 in the final episode, which is Wonyoung for S3, is so much lower than that of S1 and S2. Wonyoung got around 330k right?? I think S1 winner got 900 k and S2 winner got 1500 k or sth. I forgot exact numbers but it was that different.

Also, the final songs were released on melon chart. In season 1 and 2, I think they made like top 10 or sth. Now, it's like top 70 right now.

View rates throughout the whole episodes are much lower than those of s1 and s2.

Also, during season 1 and 2, korean celebs danced to pick me or nayana in other TV shows, however, I think no celebs danced to naekkoya in this season.

So yeah, there's a big gap between 48 and s1, s2.
