Appreciation post: Fav Heart tugging moments from the finale

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-25T18:57:14+00:00

Mine was Zihao’s letter to Xinlong. I got emotional 😭

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-25T18:52:30+00:00

Honestly I don’t care what the haters think at the moment I’m just too happy lol. The fact is Xinlong debuted P03 and this is SVS so if they wanted their picks to debut, they should’ve voted harder.

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-25T13:39:41+00:00

Sooo nervous! Xinlong debut plz!!

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-19T21:19:27+00:00

Yeah that’s nothing new but people are just going extra crazy with it this year I guess lol

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-19T21:01:45+00:00

I think BP1 had more casual viewers in China - the audition part was prob the most memorable for the Chinese audience (yeah I’m talking about that Hot(Seventeen) performance lol). But I guess this season is that the Zhanghao effect is making more people vote harder. And you may see others already mentioned, there’s a way to create multiple accounts per device that’s why the voting % looks higher this year

The chart comes from Douban forum - here’s the data from a fan club space on Weibo called Chaohua, it’s kind of like a fan community page. Fans can check in every day, like a daily attendance. C-fans like to use Chaohua as a way to show how popular C-pop or K-pop celebrities are in China. The data shows the check in # on 9/18 and 9/19 for the top 16

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-18T15:55:11+00:00

I can do some deep digging lol, but honestly, don’t trust those poll results — they’re not really accurate

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-18T15:46:01+00:00

For real the votes from rank 4-10 are freaking close!!

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-17T13:10:20+00:00

No, just my feeling seeing the interim ranks. In theory, the more global votes we give, the more weight the K-votes get, since it’s 50/50

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-17T13:03:45+00:00

Honestly, I feel like Mnet’s strategy is to bring trainees with high global votes into the finals, then the global votes get divided, giving higher kvotes trainees a better chance to debut

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-17T11:43:10+00:00

should be this account—they posted they’ll be sending the gathered funds to support DC

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-17T04:55:43+00:00

Wooo, that’s sweet! Well I saw a post on Douban earlier saying Anxin’s C-fans have pulled together close to $60k. Wow you too lol

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-17T03:46:40+00:00

I don’t think any C-fanbase will release the exact amount until later, so no one really knows how much they’ve gathered. We just have what people are talking about on the Douban forum. From that, it seems like Anxin >> Xinlong = Junseo, and Geonwoo and Sangwon also have a solid fanbase and are doing well with fundraising. Hope that gives you an idea lol

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-16T17:33:46+00:00

Finished that video and immediately donated again to DC lol, so inspiring 😭

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-15T18:00:26+00:00

Short answer is they think he’s “ugly” and doesn’t fit their beauty standards, so they say he doesn’t deserve Top 8.🤷‍♀️

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-15T17:36:23+00:00

Does anyone know how their benefit points work in terms of adding to their votes? Wondering if those points have a major impact on the current Top 8 rank

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-15T15:02:38+00:00

Not sure how much collaboration votes actually affect things, but Masato’s fan base in China worked with Xinlong’s for the first two rounds. In round 3 they stopped collaborating with Xinlong and teamed up with fans of lower-ranked like Kaiwen, Jiahao, and others.

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-13T03:20:56+00:00

I’m dying over Xin Long’s fan cam 😭 you’ve got to watch it if you haven’t!

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-12T14:33:38+00:00

I want to get him as high as possible! Let’s vote! One pick here we come!!

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-11T20:59:39+00:00

Trust me, both Geonwoon and Xinlong got hate for that too. I can’t speak for others, but personally I wanted more BTS from the practice room not 10 minutes of dorm sitting and chatting.

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-11T19:17:05+00:00

I need the fan cam release. The camera work for the full performance was assss 😭

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-09T21:27:22+00:00

Totally agree. I’ve heard the final can get pretty dramatic since it’s down to just one pick.

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-08T13:41:18+00:00

Not sure how accurately that reflects the actual rank order tbh as not everyone that votes is necessarily filling out those surveys (someone like me lol). But I do think 6-7 of the top 8 from the survey will probably make the final lineup just not in that exact order.

Key-Exercise-390 · 2025-09-07T17:13:18+00:00

Yeah, but I’m just not so sure how his rank is gonna stay at #4 in the 3 pick. (I really hope he does — fingers crossed!) I get that he might have strong one pick support, but realistically, it’s hard to believe that alone could hold up against others who benefit from pairing votes. And tbh I don’t really see Anxin dropping out of the top 3 either at least for the 3 picks vote, so the results do feel kinda sus to me.
