Before the emergence of the revelation, viewers already shared the potential rankings of the trainees on the show. Surprisingly, most of the contestants on the list are from China and Japan.

A Chinese citizen shared his list online, and Girls Planet 999 fans agreed that the contestants who made it on his list truly have potentials.

The contestants who could make it to the finals are Shen Xiaoting, Kim Da Yeon, Choi Yujin, Kawaguchi Yurina, Sakamoto Mashiro, Su Ruiqi, Kang Ye Seo, Kim Chae Hyun, Ezaki Hikaru, and Nonaka Shana.

Meanwhile, the remaining eight trainees who might join the finale are Fu Yaning, Seo Young Eun, Kim Su Yeon, Huening Bahiyyih, Kishida Ririka, Huang Xingqiao, Chen Hsingwei, and Ikeda Ruan.

The guess should be taken with a grain of salt. However, it is noticeable how people's bets are primarily Chinese and Japanese, and not having the people's top bets on the final screen soon might result in a huge tumult online.

Mnet has not responded to the claims nor address the alleged issues yet. But fans remain hopeful that the company will stay fair and square until the finals.
