These Are The Girls Leading The “Produce 48” Rankings After Episode 6
Produce 48 just aired its sixth episode and these are the revealed trainees that would form the final group, if the show ended today.
The final group will consist of 12 trainees, and there is no requirement for Korean and Japanese members, meaning there could be 10 Koreans and 2 Japanese trainees in the final group, or vice versa.
Voting has reset after the first round of eliminations, meaning the previous 14.7 million votes are not factored into the tally anymore. So far, 11,525,290 votes have been cast for the second round of eliminations.
