[Girls Planet] Nine debut members of Girls planet have been chosen, and their group name is "Kep1er"
The final episode of the global girl group debut project "Girls Planet 999: Girls Saga" (12 episodes in total) was broadcast live simultaneously in Japan, Korea and China on ABEMA on the 22nd, and the 9 debut members were finally decided and announced from the total of 99 participants, 33 from Japan, Korea and China respectively, who were selected out of 13,000 applicants. The name of the group was decided to be "Kep1er" (Keppler). Spoiler alert!
"Girls Planet 999" is a new audition project by CJ ENM, a Korean entertainment company that has produced many popular programs such as "PRODUCE" series that has produced many popular groups such as IZ*ONE and JO1. From a total of 13,000 applicants, 33 people from each region passed the auditions held in Japan, Korea, and China, for a total of 99 people, and after going through various missions, a total of 18 people (9 from the K (Korea) group, 5 from the C (China) group, and 4 from the J (Japan) group) advanced to the final live broadcast stage held today.
The final viewer vote to determine the debut member was a combination of the results of the first round of voting, which closed from 9:50 p.m. on March 15 to 10 a.m. on March 22, and the second round of voting (double the votes) that took place during the live broadcast from 8 p.m. (viewers from 172 countries participated, for a total of 4,944,001 votes). The voting results reflected a ratio of 50% for Korea and 50% for all other regions.
As a result, the following nine were chosen, including two Japanese, Ezaki Hikaru (17) and Sakamoto Mashiro (21).
Second place went to Huening Bahiyyih (17), younger sister of Huening Kai, a member of the Korean boy group Tomorrow X Together.
Girls planet 999 debut members:
1. Kim Chaehyun (K/19)
2. Huening Bahiyyih (K/17)
3. Choi Yujin (K/25)
4. Kim Dayeon (K/18)
5. Seo Youngeun (K/16)
6. Kang Yeseo (K/16)
7. Ezaki Hikaru (J/17)
8. Sakamoto Mashiro (J/21)
9. Shen Xiaoting (C/21)
The final midterm voting order had 8 K-group members, 1 C-group member, and 0 J-group members, but in the end, the global girl group "Kep1er" was born, consisting of 6 K-group members, 1 C-group member, and 2 J-group members.
[+379, -59] Congratulations, Mashiro and Hikaru!
Congratulations to the selected members!
I'm convinced of the lineup of the selected members.
Except for one person,
It's a shame because C-group was better in both looks and ability...
Su Ruiqi, Fu Yaning, Wen Zhe, I liked their characters...
But the second place went to her...
[+210, -16] There has to be a balance. I think it would have been better if the producers had decided to some extent. I think there are different roles for different people, such as the person in charge of visuals and vocals.
It's a popularity contest, but whether they will sell is another thing.
[+250, -26] There is one wrong thing, but compared to the midterm rankings, this is really good!
If Xiaoting, Hikaru, and Mashiro didn't get in, I don't think they would be a global group. Personally, I'm relieved that my favorite girl, Youngeun, got in.
It's a shame about Ruiqi and Yurina....
[+249, -44] 2nd place... How was she number 1 in 115 countries (Was it?). I wish we got to choose 9 people in the last vote
[+219, -22] 2nd place is complicated. She's the one that doesn't quite make sense to me
[+57, -6] Bahiyyih's popularity is not her own, but her brothers
Everyone thinks that there was a more suitable girl for her debut.
It's not her fault, but I think she deserves the criticism.
She's going to be beaten up by everyone except TXT fans, but will she be able to keep her mental strength?
Japan-China-Korea audition "Girls Planet 999" decides 9 debutants = 2 Japanese members, group name is "Kep1er"
(*Same information as article above so I will not translate it again)
[+1,024, -156] The second place was so bad that my tension dropped.
Is she going to show her family in the end too?
It would have been nice if she had some skills, but she seemed to have a difficult personality.
I felt pity for the other girls who were taking it seriously.
[+731, -135] As I've always liked Chaehyun, I was really happy to see her in first place since she was out of the top after episode 11.
Personally, I was disappointed that Ruiqi, the mood maker who was manipulated, and Yurina, the 1st place winner who was almost out of the spotlight for the last few episodes, were not included. The Korean votes were 10 times more worth than the rest of the votes, so it couldn't be helped, but I thought it was a little disappointing.
I don't dislike the second place, but I felt she was a bit wrong lol
[+556, -110] This time, the problems with the voting system came to light!
A child who is not very good at something can be elected to a higher position through the influence of shadows and high votes!
This is a pity for those who are really good and have worked hard!
It's not a good result!
I heard there was a lot of booing in her home country, but I guess it can't be helped!
It's strange that only one of the girls didn't cry while the others were crying!
Thank you all for your hard work!
For those who didn't get to make their debut, please don't give up on your dreams and keep up the good work!
[+303, -22] There's nothing wrong with Bahiyyih, but she doesn't give a good impression〜...
I really cried when I saw Mashiro and Hikaru.
I wish Ruiqi would have made her debut.
[+261, -35] The second place gave me the biggest shock.
If she's that popular, I think it's a mystery how it was reflected only in the last episode.
With 1st and 2nd place together, I felt painfully aware of the lack and unconvincing top results in both aspects, including visuals.
Looking back, I think that perhaps this audition show was meant for the two of them from the beginning.
[+162, -22] The group name is not good either.
Kebara, or was it Kerubya?
Bahiyyih is also ranked second not because of their own popularity but because of brother's's popularity.
There's only one talented Chinese girl in the group, and I don't feel that they have the same appeal as IZ*ONE at the moment.
I wonder if I'll change my mind if they are blessed with good music in the future.
[+145, -14] It's hard not to see Yaning, Ruiqi, and Shana, but I have no objection to the eight of them! I'm rooting for them! But, no, not second place.
I don't think she was proactive enough, so she didn't get screen time. I know some of you are defending her saying, "She's good!" But there were a lot of talented kids.
Everyone was trying their best to get into main vocal and run for positions.
She should have worked hard so that people won't say, "Thanks to her brother!" If she had been good like that, there would have been a lot of buzz about her, so wouldn't she have been picked up? I'm not convinced that she's as good as people says she is because I didn't see her do anything like that
[+134, -20] izone was in charge of visuals, rapping, dancing, vocals, three from AKB, and the perfect member for the group, thanks to the manipulation.
I think there was no manipulation this time because of the arrests of the PD of Produce. That' s why I'm worried about the 2nd place girl, is she gonna okay?
Also the visuals are a bit low
The two japanese I know they're small but I hope they do well and sell well.
[+125, -16] It must have been a relief for the management to hear the words of gratitude from the Chinese Xiaoting to the masters and staff.
Thank you, Girls Planet, for giving me four months of fun.
[+113, -33] Maybe because IZ*ONE was 2 and a half years, a lot of people think they're going to be active for 2 and a half years, but they haven't announced it, have they?
Some article said "2 and a half years according to the people involved", but I wonder what the actual situation is... I feel sorry for the 8 members because they're under a huge dragging because of one person, so it might be better to end it early... I feel sorry for the 8 members because they were so happy that they cried...
[+108, -7] I'm shocked Ruiqi isn't here
[+108, -11] I would have liked to see more Chinese members
[+93, -17] mnet's audition shows are always terrible, but this one is indeed hilarious.
It's some mysterious rule that suddenly at the end of the show, it's all almost koreans and still get support
[+79, -11]I know it's not Bahiyyih's fault, but I'm not convinced, you understand?
Without C, the impact of the group is decreased, and to be honest, I think Bahiyyih is not as good as the other members.
I hope she thinks she's lucky to be Huening Kai's sister and works hard from now on.
There's a lot of curses in Japan, China, and Korea, but I want to support them from now on without hurting the young 17-year-old's heart.
But I guess she should have kept herbrother's name out of it...
Congratulations to everyone and thank you for your hard work!
[+79, -8] The girl in 9th place is a perfect debutante. And yet, 2nd place... This is a joke, isn't it?
Congratulations to everyone and thank you for your hard work!
[+70, -18] I know I shouldn't say this but I wonder what this is...
Dance and vocals comes second.
I wanted a perfect visual group
I don't like their dancing and over the top facial expressions
I would rather have natural performers with overwhelming visuals like Xiaoting
Girls planet Announces 9 Debutants! Two are Japanese! The activity period is about two and a half years
(*Same information as article above so I will only translate the things not mentioned before)
The name of the group was decided to be "Kep1er" (Keppler). The name was coined by combining the word "Kep," which means "we have grasped our dream," and "1," which means "to be the best as one"
[+551, -42] I thought they would be a cool, girl-crush type group, but surprisingly, many of the cute members remained.
After all, audition shows make me want to cheer for them because I can feel their passion and personality for their debut.
But...I'm not sure this is the place for the 2nd place winner to shine. I think she should have trained as a trainee in an office and made her debut.
It was sad because it felt like they were kicking down the talented people who was saying Girls planet was their last chance to become idols and she was kicking them down because of her name recognition.
[+259, -14] I thought I would be happy if Mashiro, Yeseo, and Dayeon were included, but Bahiyyih made me feel instantly cold.
I would have liked to see someone else in the group, like Yurina, Su Ruiqi or maybe Shana
[+259, -1] I'm glad to see Hikaru and Mashiro in the list, but I'm not satisfied with the ranking.
I don't think the benefit system is necessary.
They should stay based on their ability.
[+172, -27] I didn't follow it all the way, but Hikaru's performance was so powerful and sharp that you didn't feel she was small at all.
They were both great!
[+149, -5] They didn't need a big brother benefit
[+146, -13] I was a fan of MashiroYeseo, so I'm glad they're both in! If I could have been greedy, I would have wanted Kawaguchi Yurina to stay as well... I loved her small face, tall height, and gorgeous visuals
[+136 -12] I was happy that Hikaru got in, but disappointed that Ruiqi Yaning didn't
[+124, -15] I'm so glad that Hikaru Mashiro joined!
There's a lot I want to say, but this is it!
I'll be supporting them!!
[+93, -5] I think Yurina is better than Bahiyyih because she's more attractive and looks better on stage
[+83, -1] The Chinese really made things exciting. It's a shame they couldn't make their debut.
Nine debut members of "Girls Planet" 999 have been chosen, and the group is called Kep1er
The Korean vote is 10 times higher than the rest of the world, so it was probably unavoidable due to the influence of her brother
(*Same information as article above so I will not translate it again)
[+556, -82] I don't hate Babi-chan, but I thought her second place was a bit...
Personally I wanted to see Ruiqi or Yurina
[+392, -28] When Bahiyyih-chan was called as the first place candidate, the comment section was a mess....
I hope those who voted will take their responsibility and contribute to the survival of the group by joining the FC and buying CDs.
[+324, -40] Bahiyyih hasn't done anything wrong, but she just hasn't done anything.
I'm sure she's tried, but the fact that she hasn't run for any of the more prominent positions like Killing part, Main, Leader, etc. is what's bothering me.
The other girls were desperately trying to make a name for themselves.
I wonder if the the moas who voted for Bahiye will collect her photocards? Will there honestly be any demand for them?
[+237, -15] I question Bahiyyih's results!
I don't think she's good enough for second place!
If this wasn't a voting format and they were chosen based on their dancing and singing abilities, she definitely wouldn't have been in the debutantes!
There were girls who were better than Bahiye in terms of looks and overall performance!
Ninth place. But when I saw the second place result, I suddenly lost interest in watching it!
[+248, -24] You're kidding me. The whole living room was in uproar. It's definitely a big brother effect, right? I don't know if she's going to make it from now on...
Myah was so close... I thought she could be in the mannequin category. Suyeon and Su Ruiqi will definitely be back in the entertainment industry with different units in the future. Don't give up, Shana-chan!!
[+210, -18] Congrats to Mashiro and Hikaru!
I wonder if it's okay for the balance that there's only one person in Group C...
[+202, -18] I thought, "If you don't want to include C, then don't bring C in from the begging"
[+153, -7] I don't hate Bahiyyih, but every time I see her, I'm getting mixed feelings... I don't know if I could support the group, even though I have a bias in Kepler... I don't understand why there's only one person from C-group after all
[+95, -4] I was watching Girls Planet 999, then the first place candidate got announced and I realized it was UtsuPlanet999 (T/N depressing-planet 999) and it's hard to stop being bothered. Depressed Planet.
Planet Guardians, Bahiyyih, her brother, Bahiyyih's real fandom, MOAs who didn't do anything with the ticket thing , bts and armys are all victims. So many victims because a moa was gonna give out a bts ticket in exchange for votes on her. It was just disrespectful for armys who wanted tickets so I felt bad.
The biggest victim is Suyeon who was 10th. Even if Bahiyyih didn't have the ticket thing she would be top 10 considering her 1pick but 2nd for her is just depressing since it's clear her abilities were below the rest. I can't stop thinking about this so it's hard for me to support this group even if my favorite made it
[+87, -8] If they hadn't announced the 9th place candidates in advance, I don't think Hikaru and Xiaoting would have made it. I guess Mnet's clever impression manipulation can change the votes quite a bit
[+69, -6] Good job, Yurina, Ruiqi and Yaning!
I know they were victims of the evil side's manipulation but we all know they're very attractive people!
I know it may be tough and they may not been able to make it, but if they can make it to Iland2, please do! (It's better to make your debut there, so it's not a limited time group)
[Girls Planet] Girls planet's Final Voting Results Announced: Huening Bahiyyih is No. 1 in terms of votes, Sakamoto Mashiro is No. 2
In terms of points, the K (Korean) groups occupied the first through sixth places, but Sakamoto Mashiro of the J (Japanese) group came in second in terms of votes with 488,519.
(*Same information as article above so I will only translate the things not mentioned before)
"The final points and vote counts of the 18 finalists were released on "UNIVERSE. In terms of actual votes, Huening Bahiye (17), younger sister of Korean boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER member Huening Kai, came in first with 525,465 votes. It was revealed during the broadcast that Bahiyyih was number one in 115 countries, including the United States, Germany, Turkey, and Italy.
[+626, -29] I lost interest when Bahiyyih was announced.
I wonder what the masters were thinking when they saw this ranking...
[+506, -49] It's not very good.
I don't think they're going to be popular.
The girls who dropped out will be picked up by a better agency.
They will debut later and become popular.
[+385, -21] I didn't expect the program to be ruined so easily
[+334, -20] Bahiyyih is the second most talented and visually appealing person?
I can't help but think she just has her brother's luck charm!
Disappointed with the results.
[+281, -24] Xiaoting was included because the 9th place candidate was announced beforehand. In the end, everyone fell for Mnet's impression manipulation. I think it would have been all K's group if they hadn't announced the midterm
[+236, -7] I think mnet wanted to prove with girls planet something like "this is what happens when there is no manipulation"
[+202, -9] If they choose this one based on the number of votes alone, there would have been three Chinese, K4C3J2.
It's so global!
[+191, -21] The girl in first place didn't get many votes. Does that mean she was popular in Korea? I'm happy for Youngeun and Mashiro
[+149, -18] What's this
[+133, -5] Not Bahiyyih but Huening Kai's sister
[+131, -28] This is not a simple popularity contest. Please don't be fooled. The editing of the chinese members was done twice in a row (Ruiqi was affected twice in a row, and other trainees were also affected and lost their rankings), and on the day of the final voting, the 9th place was mysteriously announced. The program's manipulation with impressions caused a lot of relief votes to be cast, and the Chinese members who were supposed to be debut members were all eliminated. Through this Mnet program, Korea's image became much worse, while China's image increased. A group that is built on racism is not something I can support.
[+97, -15] I don't know, but I understand that it's the Asian image that white people like. Well, it' s not a face that Japanese boys like, at least
