The line-up includes Japanese and Korean members aged 20 to 16. Many viewers were pleased by the winner line-up, especially fans of Bang Jeemin, who was previously eliminated from R U Next? and missed debuting as a member of ILLIT.
However, one trainee has left many heartbroken by her just missing a debut with a group.
Japanese trainee Fuko was already known to many viewers due to her participation in Girls Planet 999, where she was eliminated in the fifth episode.
Many were overjoyed to learn that she would have another chance to debut, as she has been a trainee since she was 12.
Fuko impressed viewers weekly with her talents and skills, shown in her high rankings from the show’s start. At the show’s halfway point, Fuko was among the trainees selected by producers to advance to part two.

During episode ten, Fuko’s rank dropped to six, the lowest she had received in part two, but would have been enough for her to make it into the group.
Ultimately, Fuko did not make the final group, ranking 8th place is show votes overall, with less than 3,000 votes between her and 7th place Mai, who was selected by PDs.
Many were surprised that she was not selected for the group, despite her show of readiness for debut.
fuko was a trainee for seven years.. someone who was consistent through the entire show and continued to prove that she was the most stable. she was READY to debut and the producers stole it from her. fuko i’m so sorry.

With as talented as Fuko is, she will surely have more opportunities in the future.
