i already predicted the end of boys planet 

I am honestly surprised that Mnet is giving Kim Jiwoong so much screentime and such a good edit so far. I thought being a BL actor and therefore having videos of him passionately making out with another man all over the internet would be too much of a brandrisk for them. Perhaps they weighed their options and ultimately just went "But he's so hot tho...", I hope they don't switch up on him later

I think out of all the G-group trainees Seok Matthew actually has the highest chance of debuting. Yes even higher than Zhang Hao. He's ethnically Korean so he won't be negatively impacted by the nationality bias and Mnet has already given him plenty of screentime to establish him as his own separate person with a compelling backstory. Anthonny and Kim Taerae are both under W1 so I wouldn't count them out. Especially Kim Taerae, I think he has Kim Chaehyun upside to him. (And if Hui for some reason isn't in the finale I'd say Taerae's almost a guarantee). As for Jay, he's probably a shoo-in for the finale but I agree that the 50% weighing of Korean votes will likely keep him from debuting. There's no way Mnet will let Wang Zihao debut. He'll probably be gone after the 2nd round, and if he somehow sticks around he's still lacking in the Korean support needed to debut. Sure, Huening Bahiyyih had more international fans (ranking 1st in global votes) but she still ranked 7th in Korean votes. I don't think Zihao has that or will be able to cultivate that. The star support also doesn't fully show who has the most 1pick support bc people are able to use multiple accounts to vote for it, which isn't possible for the official voting.

Jay should go solo if he’s not picked. He’s so talented and it will be obvious by then that the K-System doesn’t value in a boy group his potential. Which is crazy to me.

not even halfway in the video, and I'm so impressed on how you really studied the pasts shows and everything. the science partner we all needed in school lmao!

is it selfish for me to hoping keita, Zhang hao, jay, and seok matthew all debuting? i hope we'll have four place for G-Group. Edit : guys, now I want wang zi hao in the group too 😭😭😭😭 I'm being selfish for real now still can't believe keita and Jay didn't make it...

my one goal is to just not get attached to anyone other than sung hanbin and zhang hao who are basically guaranteed to debut or else i know im gonna go through so much pain 💀

honestly with keita's level of talent it will be such a shame if he doesn't make it, when you look at people who really deserve to debut he is definitely one of the first names that comes to mind! great video by the way!!

For some reason I keep thinking Hui is going to pull a Jurina from pd48 and just quietly(or dramatically) pull out of the show bc of health issues or an injury Idk why I just can’t picture him actually wanting to be in a group w a 15 yr old

I HATE the one pick system, if I'm voting for a debut group then LET ME VOTE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MEMEBERS IN THE GROUP!!! It's not like I want to be a solo stan, and ignore the other members of the group, I want to enjoy them as a whole, so I completely don't get why we're always required to vote for one or two people at the final. Loved the video! Exited to see how everything will turn out! Hopefully I'll like the debut members 😅

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one rooting for Park Gunwook. I barley see people talk about him. I think it has to do with Mnet evil editing making him appear cocky, too confident or rude when he isn’t any of those things. He is a whole sweetheart and is doing what he can to win. He isn’t ranked high enough which was surprising to me because he has it all. Visual, Stage presence, Dancing, and Singing. He really ate it up during the first episode and I still can’t believe he isn’t ranked above. Anyways Gunwook fighting!! You will debut. Also rooting for Jay, Hanbin and Zhang hao, Ji woong and Ricky!!!

As long as Sung Han Bin and Zhang Hao debut together,✊🏻 everything else is fine.

sung han bin, zhang hao, kim ji woong, lee seunghwan, park gunwook, jay, wang zi hao, seok matthew and keita as a group would top the charts of kpop and would have all eyes on them. i just know they would get the attention of everyone around the world

wang zihao is very talented but sadly mnet doesn't give him any screentime he's probably the only ALL STAR trainee who didn't get to showcase his talent like an ALL STAR not getting screentime is PURE EVIL. he was even seen helping other trainees in the bg in pixels, man is very humble and kind. hope he gets some recognition for his talent in the coming episode 🙏 PLEASE VOTE FOR WANG ZIHAO EVERYONE !!!

I'm honestly rooting for Keita because he has gone through YG training, which is like wild as fuck!! Like did you see his performance on Block B's "Zero for conduct"?? He was so relaxed and he slayed... It's weird that he's not on the Top 9. Zhang Hao said in one of the episodes that some of the K-Trainees don't have outside experience and he's worried for them, and I understand where he is coming from. Debuting is like landing on a huge job in a successful company thanks to a whole lot of past experiences and training. I'm aware that there are people who have debuted despite having 1-2 years of training, but different people have different abilities. I feel like anyone who takes Rank 6 is safe. This is because CLC Yujin was ranked 6th in the beginning and then she started go rise up. But Hui needs to be careful because he's not confident with his dancing. I remember one of the judges saying that they are looking for singers first, so Hui has a great benefit. In terms of support points, Hiroto, Zhang Hao, Wang Zihao has so much support!!

i do hope keita makes it, there's so much he can bring to the group, rap, dance, and vocals, composing songs and choreography too. his 5 years in YG Ent really shaped him to be an outstanding performer. he's always been known as a legendary trainee in YGTB, i hope people watching boys planet see that toof

With regard to what you said about Seowon and Woonggi; I think Seowon has a much better chance, because Woonggi has had almost no screentime in the first two episodes, and they're very obviously shipping Seowon with Jiwoong. The circumstances around Woonggi's removal from TO1 also make it not look good for him

I hope Seunghwan can debut :( he's so talented and deserves a spot on the final line up ;;

i need ricky to debut and i don’t even care if it’s not practical. i WILL get him out of the trenches with willpower alone

I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for people that like Zhang Hao to keep voting for him. We saw what almost happened last time with Xiaoting. Everyone assumed she was guaranteed to debut, but she barely made it after the one pick system started. Zhang Hao has been getting a lot of love but he’s a foreigner/Chinese member at the end of the day, and he faces more barriers compared to Hanbin, Jiwoong, and Yujin because of that. We’ve already seen how those 3 are stable as the top 3, but Zhang Hao hovers around 7th place, which makes me nervous. Zhang Hao is not only objectively beautiful and talented, but he’s also a really sincere and humble person, and I just think he’s a star. Please keep voting for Zhang Hao!

matthew's one-pick fanbase is definitely soaring and will continue to given his screentime and his virality on tiktok - good that he absolutely has the talent to back it up!

When you said that you had 4 trainees that you were sure were debuting, Sung Hanbin, Zhang Hao, Han Yujin, and Kim Jiwoong immediately popped up in my head so yeah, that's very telling lol. I would bet my life on their debut. There is no way they're not making it. This is my first survival show so I literally don't know what to expect from the finale but kAJNHBGJNK as long as those four plus Anthonny and Taerae make it I will be happy

My Picks are (in not particular order) 1. Jay 2. Sung Hanbin 3. Matthew 4. Keita 5. Lee Seunghwan 6. Wang Zi Hao (Liked him a lot on episode 2!!!!!) 7. Zhang Hao 8. Kamden (I think a lot of rappers are underappreciated. There was no rap commentary from the demo stages :( Looking forward to the cover stages) 9. Hui (not so sure about him though) My picks are mostly G-group and I know it's unlikely to happen. Knowing they'll surely debut 5-6 Koreans.

Boys Planet is basically Lee Seunghwan last chance to debut, if he fails this one he's just gonna give up as was stated by his brother.

i think one-pick voting will benefit hui and kim jiwoong the best. hui has a great fandom in South Korea and from what i've seen jiwoong has tons of fans internationally. i'm just shocked that hui's international fanbase is torn between keeping him in pentagon or making him redebut in a new group. they should consider what made hui decide to be in show in the first place. if he knew that pentagon was in safe hands he for sure wouldn't have been a contestant in a survival show. so im rooting for hui to be in the final lineup.

u predicted more than a half of the lineup which is already crazy the ones you missed, taerae had craazy korean fanbase, which definitely carried him (also panic voting definitely helped) ricky had huge intl fanbase and towards the end, he managed to get korean fanbase too, so he made it! matthew is the same case as ricky, him blowing up on tiktok even more personally, i was only surprised by gunwook and really underestimated his one pick fanbase

if all 3 of zhang hao, hanbin and seowon debut i will have no choice but to stan

OP is super bold for predicting Zhang Hao will place 2nd (though that would be a dream scenario indeed). would absolutely be able to live with this predicted Top 9, and it would be a stellar group 💯 also agreed that nobody can hate our two K and G centers, they're seriously such well-rounded aces and absolute gems

Keita has gone through a lot. He has trained under YG, and his training period is 9 years which is really crazy. And when he performs he’s really relaxed and it looks like that he is having the best time on stage, his also an all rounder which he can produce music, sing, rap, and dance. and I’m happy to see that there’s good editing about him and I hope he debutes. Keita fighting !! Also wish the best for other contestants!!

based on episode 3, i think Jay is gonna have a better chance of debuting just from talent alone. I really hope people don’t drop him just cause he is “cringey”. His kind of talent deserves to debut.

My picks are Zhang Hao, Ricky, Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Hui, Krystian, Dang Hong Hai, Anthony, and Han Yujin. I'm not sure how many of them will debut but I'll still vote for them. I'm also considering Matthew, Seungwhan and Jay. It sucks only 9 can debut when there are lots of talented trainees.

im making this prediction before i see your final prediction (just for fun lol) in no particular order : 1. sung hanbin 2. zhang hao 3. han yujin 4. kim jiwoong 5. lee hoe taek 6. seok matthew 7. keita 8. park gunwook 9. kim gyuvin edit : omg lol we had the exact same prediction for the top 4??? imo it will have a 6:3 ratio (K:G) update after the second elimination : 8/9 correct, i didn’t expect hui to drop out of top 9

I really think Matthew could debut, I personally like traines similar to him such as Anthony and Cong, but Matthew being somewhat more all-rounded, having great chemistry with han bin, being humble and speaking English will give him a solid fanbase I hope. I'm already thinking of him as my one pick and I don't really think I'll change my mind

out of g group i think hao and matthew have the best shot

I feel like they might want to keep Jay in the sense if they want to go global like America they have an English speaker. But seok Mathew could also fill this role. If I were mnet I would try to get Japanese contestants to break into the Japansse market. Chinese contestants are somewhat of a low priority bc they can't really promote in China. But China bars would increase the sales of the group. Also I feel like girls planet some people are just filler votes. So some at the top will end up dropping drastically in the end. Until the 1 pick system comes into play it'll be hard to tell

my fave na kamden is almost certainly not going to debut but best believe i’m going to be voting for him EVERY DAY because i want to see more of his talents and for him to not get eliminated. He’s an amazing rapper and dancer and everyone should check out the full rush hour performance

I wish the lineup would be top 11 😢😢😢 not top 9 so many talented trainees

About Seunghwan, I feel like he's getting more and more popular recently and he's definitely a strong candidate for actually making it to the top 9 at some point of the show, he's literally got everything to debut again. There's 3 contestant that I'm 100% sure will make it unless they suddenly start getting evil editing (I don't think that'll happen though) : Hanbin, Zhang Hao and Jiwoong ; it wouldn't make any sense if they end up not making it to the group. About Yujin I don't really know how I personally feel about him yet, but he's growing on me! I really want Taerae to debut but he has almost no screen time at all, like people know him yet people don't know him at the same time :'DD ?? I also wanted to talk about Doha, I see two possible outcome for him. We'll have a Minkyu situation again (people are making fun of him everywhere), he's still really popular, he'll make it to the final without debuting and he might focus more on acting. Or he'll get a Sohye (IOI) situation were he actually debuts. I have a soft spot for trainees like him ; despite having a short training time I don't think he's that bad actually, I see him more on the rapper side and I hope we'll get to see that later on the show. He seems really passionate about was he's doing and he is willing to improve and show a better version of himself, he's also surrounded by top trainees which can be really helpful, he'll get to improve in such a short period and take the role of the dark horse perhaps ? For Hui, I don't really know if I want him in the lineup. Especially if the group is going to be a permanent group ?? Another comment said that already but I also feel like he's not planning on getting in the final lineup and is mainly participating to bring more exposure to Pentagon so I'm feeling a bit conflicted about his case. Anywayyyy I'm so excited for this week's episode, this is gonna be interesting to see if the producers will keep highlighting the same trainees, I'm pretty sure this round will play a big part on determining who might actually make it to the final top 9. Oh yeah, here are my picks : Doha, Haruto, Taerae, Seunghwan, Jay, Ricky, Seowon, Hanbin and Zhang Hao

I really want Gunwook to debut, please vote for him guys

i hope zhang hao makes it

came back here after the announcement. u predicted the k:g ratio of 6:3 and got the 5/9, not bad. i'm happy matthew made it but it saddens me that keita was the one who pulled yurina card.

I def think your reasoning stands for most the trainees! I def see how Seok Matthew reminds a lot of people of the Yurina situation from gp999 but because of that I think a lot of people will try and protect his place in top9 even more out of fear! this might be my wishful thinking tho since he is in my top 3 picks

Am I the only one who doesn't see Hui debuting? Like he is way older than the other contestants and yes he has a big fan base but if he doesn't debut I'm sure he could always go solo (he has enough talent and experience to do so), and thus I kind of don't want him to debut with boys planet (no hate at all, I like him as much as everyone else), because it feels like he'd be taking the spot of another talented contestant who has less chance of debuting if he doesn't make it with boys planet >>>> it's just my personal thoughts, it's okay if people think differently

My Top 9 (by age order) 1. Lee Seung Hwan (2000) 2. Zhang Hao (2000) - G (CHINA) 3. Jay (2001) - G (USA) 4. Sung Han Bin (2001) 5. Seok Matthew (2002) - G (CANADA) 6. Kim Tae Rae (2002) 7. Kim Gyu Vin (2004)** not too sure about him 8. Mun Jeong Hyun (2005) 9. ????** (my 2 current top picks are Mun Jeong Hyun & Sung Han Bin)- ** I'm not too sure about any other picks, there are so many contestants. I want to hear your recommendations. (also I'm not putting Hui in my lineup because I think it would be better for him to return to PENTAGON after the airing of the show. The group would struggle even more if they had to promote without their leader. They have also had many members leave, go to military service or go on indefinite hiatus. Also, I'm predicting that most trainees that will debut are born in the 2000's it might make it awkward for the team dynamic to work with someone who is both much older and a big 선배 in the industry. (IZ*ONE managed success without having a well known debuted korean idol in their lineup) I also want to see new talents and dreams being realised. It includes idols which didn't really experience real success with their former groups or promoted for a short time.

Seungwoo and Seungyoun got low rank in early time but they gained fans because of their talents and personality. Their ranks rise from 60s to Top 5. Who knows there will be trainees like them. I'm sure things will completely change.

Wang Zihao is one of the trainees that can absoluty debut if he can advanced to final. Wang Zihao already possess 1 pick fans despite of lack of screentime.

I'm predicting a very heavily pushed jiwoong/seowon ship by the edit soon but idk if it will be enough to get seowon to debut.. I would also add Matthew to the almost certainly debuting lineup actually, I think he has a lot of 1 pick potential with western fans and he's ethnically Korean so he's not going to have the same disadvantage as other g group trainees when it comes to kvoters. I don't think hui will make the final group because he really does not fit the image that mnet will be going for, I think they're gonna do everything they can to get him out of there, in which case taerae will be pushed as main vocal. I'm also hoping for yoo seungeon to debut, he stood out the most to me in the yuehua k group performance but that's less likely given him currently being overshadowed by other k yuehua trainees.. but I agree 100% with Zhang hao, sung hanbin and kim jiwoong. lee seunghwan is my no1 tho I will personally make sure he debuts 😭😭

the seunghwan and seungyoun comparison is so accurate, i was literally like YES THANK YOU when you mentioned it. and based on round 1 rumours im pretty optimistic about him getting a good edit but im going to try and not get my hopes up too much.

This is the final line up: 1. Zhang hao 2. Sung Hanbin 3. Matthew 4. Ricky 5. Gunwook 6. Taerae 7. Gyuvin 8. Jiwoong 9. Han yujin I'm can't believe that Keita didn't make it 😭😭😭

So now is more than half way of the show and we can see that your top 4 predictions are super accurate and it's very unlikely to change. However the other 5 spots are changing so dramatically. Don't know what's gonna happen!

honestly its a set rule now in survival shows that the center/s in the signal song make it into the final lineup theyre the first ones that catches the new viewers eyes

She was terribly right: 3:6 ratio for korean trainees. 5 spots correct for the first assumption, two of her back ups made it. So yes, Mnet is predictable

i really want jay debuts because he would be a perfect main vocal in an idol group and i think that for now they're showing it a lot. jiwoong is an obvious one because of the big fanbase related to his acting career, especially the bl part. from the editing i'd say they REALLY want gunwook to be in the group and they obviously want as few chinese guys an possible. on the other hand it feels like they're using hui only for the angst and the sad story because that's all they're showing for now. and the two "my house" dudes are being put in there just for laughs

I am really rooting for Wumuti to debut despite knowing that he probably has negative chances .....I feel like no one notices or talks about him... but I really hope he does amazing in life with that beautiful voice .❤️

I really resonate with this logic. Mnet showcasing Keita made me notice him to the point he made it to my top 9, the member I'm most unsure of when it comes to voting is Hui : I truly like him and want him to accomplish the succes he deserves, but I'm not sure if redebuting is his end-goal, plus the dynamic with his future teammates could be kinda odd since there are a lot teens that are likely to debut (If I could handpick the age range of the group it would be like 98s-05s)

i really, REALLY hope keita would debut. he's got everything--he can dance, rap, and sing well. askjfbjkabj but honestly aside from the boys you mentioned, i believe there'll be a dark horse that we don't expect. like at all (cough cough park woojin & seungyeon). its gonna be so interesting then.

I HAD to come back to this video

i want haruto to debut so bad but unfortunately right now he’s not as popular as the other g group trainees and considering the final lineup will most likely only contain 3-4 g group trainees the chance of him debuting is more slim. i hope he gets more screen time and builds a bigger fan base in the future !

ppl gonna disagree but I kinda feel like hui isn’t gonna debut, and honestly I haven’t voted for him either because there’s trainees that I see fit very well together and I think his age is kinda a disadvantage too (he’s not old imo but yk how these boy groups are, they rather have a 12 y/o than someone over 25) idk I guess the balance would be off with someone who’s more than 5 years older than the rest but anything can happen

Idk about Hui not ending up in the debut line (I feel like he's way too talented and seasoned not to, but he is older than what MNET and most kfans want). I do feel like Hui joining Boys Planet likely means that Pentagon won't resign or have already quietly disbanded, because as far as I know their contract with Cube ends late 2023 (correct me if I'm wrong) which pains me a lot. Also, the fact that Hui and another Pentagon member wrote WannaOne's Energetic stings. This must be so humbling for him (probably not in a good way) but he seems to be a fair sport about it til now.

Hey! Now that BP999 is done, I would love to see an update on the actual line-up VS your prediction and your thoughts! So yeah! I really love your content!! Love u!!

as much as i love jay, i completely agree that he doesn't have the image that producers and voters are looking for. he's way too talented for him to be concealed or evil edited without raising suspicion BUT they're already including comments from the judges and contestants talking about about his "american/pop" image, i think they're very much already saying "you're cool but we don't want you" sigh i hope the best for him

I don’t know if it’s just me, but after episode 3 I can see Jay debuting. I feel like they are pushing him much more than Hui. Jay has great vocals, and they are really highlighting them. Also the fact that they totally cut Na Kamden’s rap just to focus on Jay’s voice really shows who they want to shine. Idk I feel like so far he’s their ideal main vocalist. I just don’t know if he’ll have enough Korean support to make it into the top 9. 💔

I think Seok Matthew is a guarantee. He’s ethnically korean and doesn’t struggle with the language barrier. After episode three, i think he can ride his current popularity wave all the way to debut. Mnet is scheming a G group comeback story where they lose every competition until the group battles. I think Matthew is the “ideal” pick from G group besides Zhang Hao.

i’m honestly rooting for woonggi and sungmin so hard right now; i’ve been supporting both of them since i saw them on road to kingdom and rediscovered them on edward avila’s channel - them both being removed from to1 was so surprising to me as they were both my biases out of the two of them, i do feel like woonggi has the highest chance considering that he was one of the most popular members of to1 and also has got a decent amount of girl group stans that could push him up the ranks, and from what i’ve seen so far a lot of boys planet fans do love woonggi hoping they can debut together or at least one of them can - vote for cha woong ki and oh sungmin !

Jay is one of my Main picks, and I'm pretty sure he isn't debuting. I think producers are setting him up for failure the way he's getting good edits on early episodes. Seok Matthew is very likely to debut with how his storyline is being played out. He's pretty well rounded, and I might be delusional, but I think he can pull of a Somi and rank number 1 on the Finale. As much as I don't want Han Yujin to debut(because of his age), He's definitely going to debut, and I think a good center candidate. I just see him as the Wonyoung/Ahn Yujin of this season. Hui could have a similar fate as Yujin(clc/Kepler) but the thing is, I don't think Hui wants to win. Every 'already debuted' idol in this shows always state that they want another shot at debut but Hui only wants validation(?) Idk I don't really mind him in the group, he's a good Vocalist too. Also I think Hiroto is the safest Japanese trainee to put in the group and the producers want him over Keita. I don't see the problem in debuting them both though. Hanbin is fully eligible for the center position of the final group. The 'signal song center curse' isn't technically true since Sakura was supposed to be the final center(yes I will die on this hill). Kim Jiwoong is Kim Jiwoong. He needs to debut for the gays.

I really want gunwook to debut. His dancing and stage presence is really next level. He has that charm that attracts people. I'm really gonna cry if he doesn't debut. I really don't want such a talent to go to waste.

My top picks are: - Zhang Hao - SungHanBin - Matthew - Keita - Jay

i NEED lee seunghwan and woongi or seowon to debut hhhh

I really want Ricky to debut🥺

My personal picks (not necessarily in a particular order) are: 1. Kim Gyuvin 2. Han Yujin 3. Sung Hanbin 4. Park Gunwook 5. Kim Jiwoong 6. Seok Matthew 7. Keita 8. Zhang Hao 9. Jay The first 6 are my non negotiables, if they don't debut I'll be throwing myself from a bridge :)

Coming to this vid after the finale and 5/9 predictions were true, and I'd also like to share my thoughts on what happened. Most surprising thing that happened: Zhanghao center, 4 yuehuaz, C-line being in top 4. And explanations for why I think each member debuted and why I think Keita didnt bcs he was so robbed. - Zhang Hao: Loved by both knetz and intl fans, pretty obvious - Sung Hanbin: Same explanation as hao. - Seok Matthew: Say My Name edit almost became his down fall, but seokryudans went crazy in final week. - Ricky: Popular from PR video and a lot of knetz liked him - Gunwook: Im not super sure but i think his is from promotions his fans did + appeal his personality - Taerae: got low screentime till the very end but knetz fell in love from vids like ireumi boyeo and man in love. last interim woke up kkultaraes who were rotating and managed to put him back in top 9 Gyuvin: Extremely popular in korea but got unnecessary hate from intl voters and got called a "dozen" (term should've never left ncity) Jiwoong: Pre-show popularity but also got hate from ppl who watched the show exclusively on TikTok Yujin: Again popularity in Korea, almso thought he wasnt ginna make it bcs i didn't see that many votes in one pick but k-netz saved him Why Keita didn't debut: Although extremely popular internationally he got a lot of hate from knetz foe the most uselsess things and P18 in k-votes.

Im trying to push boys planet onto my non-kpop friends so that i can get the to vote for Chen Kuan Jui because I totally fell in love with him in the first episode. I have no idea about his one pick voting power and how the producers view him, but from the star support page it seems like he might have a good chance.

i don't know why i didn't think about this but for the final prediction i didn't really consider the rankings themselves. i just put the guys in there in a rough order of who i think is most likely to make it so the rankings don't really mean anything 😭 also since this is a long video you might want to watch it in 1.5x speed!

I really want keita to debut!! he's literally the most talented trainee on the show

At least we will have Haobin for the debut group! But Zhang Hao needs to move up the ranks...TOP7 is so low for him

Sung hanbin, jiwoong, Matthew, yujin gonna debut for sure I am guessing it's gonna be 6 Korean and 3 global people in the final lineup

I appreciate that Jay is well-liked in this comment section😭

my ideal lineup as of now: 1. Gunwook (my top pick) 2. Matthew 3. Sung Hanbin 4. Jay 5. Keita 6. Gyuvin 7. Zhang Hao 8. Taerae 9. Ricky (i like him but he's the one on this list that could easily change up the most depending on how things go.) my unbiased lineup that i think could realistically happen (in order): 1. Sung Hanbin 2. Yoojin 3. Jiwoong 4. Hui 5. Zhang Hao 6. Matthew 7. Gunwook 8. Jay 9. Keita

I WANT HIROTO TO FINALLY DEBUT cmon guys he’s been already in produce japan and produce china (chuang 2021) 😢😢

So i just remembered watching this video and it's quite fun to look back, I mean in the end you got 5/9 right, but 2/9 didn't even make the final round, it just shows how there are some more or less 'fixed' contestants from the start but also some really unpredictable rises (which is part of the fun while watching)

Jay will be my one pick then because that boy deserves to debut… My picks from the G group (hopefully they let 4) Jay Keita Zhang Hao Seok Matthew

I don't watch boys planet, but I do watch a lot of videos/clips about them. From the beginning, it was obvious that mnet is catering towards the international audience quite heavily this time, because they obviously make up a majority of the fans. I saw a lot of tiktoks about them singing and dancing really bad on purpose, and it was hilarious. Which is what mnet is going for. International fans love funny content, and the BL actor getting treated very well is sure to attract hordes of fans. It looks like mnet is also shipping (?) contestants? Or like leaning towards them a bit? I'm not sure but that was the vibe I got off a few clips, and fans love gay content. A lot of people were going around saying that they wouldn't watch boys planet, but after the extremely genz introductions, everyone jumped onto the bandwagon. I was, and still am tempted to watch it too because all of them seem so fun but like I don't want to get attached 😭

I think the top 9 from episode 5 are just perfect🥲 For me, the order would be: 1. Sung Hanbin 2. Seok Matthew 3. Zhang Hao 4. Han Yujin 5. Kim Ji Woong 6. Hui 7. Jay 8. Kim Gyuvin 9. Keita Though some of my other fav don't make it if the list is like that, like Park Hanbin, Seowon, Jungwoo, Haruto...they are all so talented 😭

the saddest scenario would be.. we will only get 3 g group particpant in the final lineup.. worst if we only get 2...

My prediction ( maybe 90% gonna work ) first we only have 4 slots for G group, experience from back then!! Top 1 Sung Hanbin ( he's the most famost until now in K group and also the vote of Knetizen is stronger than I-netizen ) plot switch top one will be goes to Han Yujin ( always the youngest one ) Top 2 Zhang Hao from top 3-> 9 ( I'll just give name bc am not sure they'll stay like that ranking) -- Han Yujin ( he maybe top 1 ) -- Kim Jiwoong ( He'll debut anyway ) -- Kim Gyuvin ( he's look like an actress and his expression is catching so bad ) -- Hui / Kim Taerae ( Hui didn't have alot of chance in this show bc the concept and his age gap) -Wang Zi Hao or Hiroto ( one of them or neither , bc they have the most support base on the app but still didn't get alot of attention in the show ) - Dang Hong Hai ( he's alway in the famous group by the attention he gave also alot of fancam of him by non-fan, views, vote, his Korean and I'm pretty sure he's in top 9 to debut ) - Seok Matthew/ Kristian ( they'll pick only 1 )

I want Zhang hao to debut 🥺🥺🥺🥺

matthew seems like such a sweetheart and he's my canadian rep fr💪🏼 hope he debuts

I don’t like the rhetoric that anyone is guaranteed to debut, especially foreign trainees. Xiaoting was a center for gp999 and she almost didn’t make it because people thought like this and voted for people “less safe”. It’s unfortunate but after the latest episode, some knetz are also saying they won’t vote for any Chinese trainees at all. So please vote for the trainees you want even if they seem popular online. nothing is guaranteed and knetz can and will turn on anyone, especially foreign trainees, easily!

i really hope jay will get more edits, so far hes gotten a lot of screentime, i need him to debut with keita

I'll keep voting for hanbin, zhanghao and yujin... and my one pick is zhanghao... I'm worried about that because he is Chinese and Koreans don't like foreign members (especially Chinese), he's rank is gonna drop during one pick...

I actually don’t think Jiwoong is one of Mnet’s actual picks for the final lineup. They’ve only created an extremely superficial narrative for him, which is that he’s handsome and sexy. Whereas other contestants are getting an actual story. I think Mnet is on the fence with Gunwook and Daeul - for Gunwook it seems like they’re not sure if he can garner a large enough fanbase so that they can push for him, or otherwise he’ll just be a great target for evil editing and creating drama. For Daeul, I think they want to push for him but as of right now his skills are just too lacking so they’re probably hoping he improves so that they can go all out pushing him to the front.

mun junghyun has been my #1 pick since the here i am fancams came out. theres just something about the dude. but i didnt really expect anything since he was rarely highlighted and talked about much. literally caught off guard with the amount of screentime he got on the first few episodes 💀 bros unfortunately underrated

im really rooting for park hanbin!! im sad to see his popularity isnt that big, i expected him to gain a lot of recognition too😭especially because his bluebhair stood out- but being a name twin with one of the most popular trainees might also negatively impact :,)

Keita was robbed omg. 5/9 is crazy actually.

I really want jiwoong to debut 😭

It’s very obvious how much screen time for Huh Yujin, and it even exceeds the amount of the screen time to most of the G-group members combined!

Found this after ZB1 members have been chosen. I went and watched the series again and took notes. I knew that Han Bin and Zhao would be chosen from the beginning. They were both promising and good partners. Jiwoong was my favorite because I knew his bio and back story. Jiwoong was the person to go to. He is a good listener and his visuals are undeniable. I was a bit worried when he dropped in ranking. Yujin was so lovable and they showcased him a lot. Park Gun Wook, I could see his potential and power. I could see him fighting for a spot each week. He is an all-rounder. Seok Matthew, I was surprised on his top ranking at first but now that I’ve gone back to watch him. He has such a great personality. I think being close to Han Bin and also Jiwoong helped him. Matthew had a lot of good singing parts and was showcased a lot by producers. Kim Tae Rae was not a strong candidate out of the top contestants. He was showcased a little but then he made a wise choice in “Man in Love” That song put him in the spotlight. Out of all of the members, his voice is the most distinctive. The viewers and myself fell in love with his voice and dimples. Gyuvin and Ricky had some really good edits. I think they were helped by the producers and fan base. Gyuvin is underestimated. I saw his performances again and he is a strong dancer and I don’t think he has had a strong vocal part but he is so good looking. He got a huge advantage when he received the bonus points and Love Killa” received the award for the week. For me, Ricky’s personality puts me off. But I’m warming up to him since the debut. Hui was my favorite and the most talented singer. His voice is The Best out of all of the 93 contestants. He ranked high because of his fan base but then I think his fans brought him down too. It was clear midway in the season that people did not want him to break from Pentagon. I think Hui didn’t fit the vision that the producers had for this new group. I became of fan of Hui and Pentagon because he deserves to be supported. Now for the ones on the edge of debuting: Keita, I think he is definitely talented and would have been a good addition due to his rapping and dance skills. But I think he is not memorable enough when up against the others. I loved him in “Zoom” Jay, so close. He is likeable and talented. I can’t say anything else. He deserves to debut. His voice is the best along with Hui. Jay should have received more votes but he was always getting pushed to the background, maybe because he’s too American? Park Han Bin, he was always one of my picks. He was always smiling. I loved him in “Law”. I watched that performance again. It was such an amazing performance and Han Bin was a strong leader. Top 20 we’re all strong contenders. Yoon Jongwoo, his performance in Back Door is unforgettable. Seo Won-cutest smile, always gave his best Seung Eon-beautiful vocal in Say My Name Wang Xi Hao was strong performer too In the end, anyone in top 20 were candidates. There could have been 2 groups to debut. ZB1 is doing awesome. The guys are working everyday to be successful. They are on their way with a couple of Music Award show wins.

I would love a follow up on this video after the last elimination or after the show is over! Comparing how it went different (and why) or exactly as you predicted

my personnal top9 is : seok matthew, jay, keita, kim taerae, sung hanbin, zhanghao, kim jiwoong, hui and seowon! :)

this video pretty much summarized my thoughts on possible line up however i hope seunghwan and matthew could make it to the final top9 (maybe instead of junghyun and hiroto respectively if mnet will choose to push lsh a bit more)
