BTS’s RM shared how he tried to keep the group’s name hidden prior to their debut, but ENHPYEN is so pretty, and all of BTS are supporting them.
RM : In our case, we have a painful memory that we didn't tell our group name to anybody except the family and friends for 3years at that time (before debut) but 'ENHYPEN' (new group name from I-Land) is such a pretty name we are supporting them. @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/mpaxIF7zhH

Prior to the announcement of the final rankings, it was revealed by Namgoong Min that the group’s name will be ENHYPEN.
Following a performance of “Calling (Run to You)” and more clips of the trainees practicing and in their dorm hanging out together, many of the eliminated trainees, including Taki and Lee Geonu, shared messages of support to the final nine.
Following the advertisement break, I-LAND showed 13 of the eliminated trainees revisiting the I-LAND dorm, and the trainees all reconnecting with each other. Finally, Namgoong Min began to announce the debuting trainees. Here are the final results.
