TV / Radio Produce 48 (2018/06/15 - 2018/08/31)

it's the court who list the name out, not Mnet.. so this probably has more credibility that what Mned admitted to do prior to this announcement

 

I remember feeling awful for Chowon during the finale because of the crappy line they gave her. They rigged her out and didn't even have the decency to give her a good final performance. Eunbi got her spot (in the song's lineup they performed in the finale), and Chowon was left to sing three words in the song altogether. Chowon taught Eunbi how to do the part properly that Eunbi took from Chowon, and still they kicked Chowon out.

What was the point of making that sob story for Chowon? It seemingly got her enough votes, but then they don't add her? Honestly?

(PS I want to clarify that Eunbi 'stole' the part of the song from "Suki ni Nacchaudarou", not Chowon's spot in the final lineup.)

 

Seems that none of 48G (both current and former) were mentioned in the list means:
- Koreans are sensitive with Japanese (as usual), or
- Aki-P and 48G management have moved on from PD48 fiasco thus they dgaf about the final ranking (no wonder some says iz*one's japanese release have lower quality compared to 46G korean release)

Slightly off-topic (but related), actually I'm surprised that Baekho is the one who rigged out from Wanna One instead of JR

 

honestly the lyric distribution in the pd48 was so weird... compared to crush and the songs on Pd101, the lyric distribution was much more fair in the previous seasons...

 

You could give plausible reasons for like half the group.

I feel like Yuri, Yujin, Chaewon, Minju, Hitomi, and Yena are all candidates to have not made the final lineup.

 

I really hope they won't reveal which girls didn't earn their place in IZ*ONE. I doubt very much that they had a say and it will ruin their lives completely. I always feel like female K-pop idols are all one minor scandal away from being brandished forever, and IZ*ONE surviving so far is already a miracle in my eyes. If they single out two girls that didn't "deserve" being part of IZ*ONE, those two girls probably won't really have any kind of career left, especially after April 2021.

 

Totally agree. It does no one any good to reveal who ranked out. All the girls are innocent as far as I'm concerned.

 

Well, that may satisfy your curiosity or sense of justice, but it does none of the girls any good. Heck, it's entirely possible Hitomi was one of the girls who was rigged in.

It's not like revealing the names is going to bring any new fans. All it does is provide fuel for the antis.

All of these girls are like family now, and I'm sure they wouldn't want the names revealed if you ask them. They wouldn't want to see their friends attacked.

So if you care about the girls at all then you wouldn't want the names revealed. If you don't care about the girls then who are you really trying to help?

 

I admit I'm curious to know who are the riggied-in members but It's not something I want to OTR to release because I know the damaged it could provoke, I'm fine with knowing who the rigged-out members are, and I now I do.
Having said that I'm worried that someone might release the "real ranking" someday, and I hope OTR has a plan to protect the girls.

Also I don't know why there are still some who keep saying there are more rigged out members in PD48, I mean is the Seoul Court the one who revealed the info and not Mnet so there's no reason to lie because the more rigged out members there are the more Money has to pay.

 

Seems Myao 100% was to be in the final lineup. The 4 candidates for the final spot seem to be comprised of one rig-in member(Chaeyeon) and three rig-outs. That's what I'd do if I were to rig something so as to make it look like Kaeun, Chowon, and Myao didn't make it by very fine margin

 

Miyu & Miho, and maybe Miu, we’re still rigged out. But for some reason, they don’t wanna name drop the AKB girls. Nationalist to the max

And Chaeyeon wasn’t rigged in, she was legitimate. If anything her barely making it was suspect.

Chaewon & Yuri def were rigged in. Minji likely was too. And maybe Yena as well.

 

So you want to cause more damage by revealing more names? You still haven't explained how revealing the rigged in members benefits anyone.

At least Kaeun/Chowon can benefit from public sympathy and potential pursuit of damages.

There is no benefit to revealing more names except give fuel to antis who want to spite them. Even in this thread it sounds like a witch hunt.

 

The girls themselves have probably moved on. The members of the final group are all good girls and did nothing wrong on a personal level. But that doesn't stop me from being positively furious about what was done to Chowon and Kaeun- ESPECIALLY Kaeun with the way the show exploited her misfortune for their sympathy porn.

 

Seeing the girls themselves being shameless and pretend there is no any imposter in their group is made me laugh lmao. at least even being victim themselves they should give proper apology as a group to chowon and kaeun for taking their spots and enjoying money and luxuries that are belong to chowon and kaeun and whoever else rigged out. That is justice. Instead of hiding behind mnet and OTR's back. Some wizone please tell that to Yuri, Yujin and Chaewon lol because it is so obvious.

 

Speaking from a neutral perspective, I think as long as WIZ*ONE keep supporting the group there's nothing that anyone can stop it. IZ*ONE success has always been heavily based on WIZ*ONE and not in general public.
For WIZ*ONE, IZ*ONE is and will always be those 12, and they are always with IZ*ONE no matter the situation.
And it's not like Mnet is forcing WIZ*ONE to support IZ*ONE.

 

I agree with that IZ*ONE should probably say something to Chowon and Kaeun, but singling out those three is exactly the wrong thing to do. First of all, it's not possible that all three of them were rigged in if only two people were rigged out. And second, you don't know which ones it is.

There is a lot of speculation as to which members as it is and this kind of behaviour is exactly why I don't want anyone to reveal which members didn't receive enough votes.

 

GP is needed for post izone. Acting and CF deals mostly need clean image in GP. Scandalous person wouldn’t last long in korean ent. If rigged in members don’t revealed, it will career ending for all of them post izone unless they are debuting in new group like yena in everglow.

Didn’t starship and woolim are the company bribed the PD’s? So its safe to mention Yujin and Chaweon as Eunbi and Wonyoung is more popular and solid. And also Yuri’s rank is so suspicious so its easy to drag her. Better sacrifice these 3 and reveal the ranking rather than all 12 get bad names in GP. These 3 is selfish if they don’t apologize. Bad idols.

 

No.

Yujin was 15, Yuri was 17 and Chaewon was 18 two years ago. Do you really think they'd let these teenage girls make any decisions? You're right to blame Starship and Woollim for this mess, but three kids? You're out of your mind.

 

was it confirmed Yujin was rigged in? I always thought Yena's rank was much more suspicious

 

Nope, it's just that Starship and Woollim were named as the companies involved and both got two trainees into the group. So it's just highly possible that one of each is rigged in. And of course, people had put a lot of effort into finding evidence for that (I remember, how they found something about Yujin knew lyrics better than anyone or knew them beforehand or something like that??)
Yet, nobody knows. It could be anyone, as someone said. Nearly every name has been dropped until now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
