253 Unpredictable
Disrupt the pattern!
Park Woo-jin's rocket-like rise has reshuffled the debut circle. Yoon Ji-sung, Bae Jin-young and Kim Samuel both returned to the competition ranks; Lee Dae-hui, Kim Jong-hyun, and Yong Sung-woo all experienced different degrees of ranking decline, which also added more suspense. All the seven debut quotas announced so far have variables.
Just like a marathon, the race will not end without reaching the finish line. Suspense will always exist, and nothing is a foregone conclusion.
not to mention--
The program announced one of the top four candidates, Kang Daniel, Park Ji-hoon, Lee Yong-ha, and Ha Sung-yun.
The whole audience was in an uproar!
Because an incredible name appeared among the candidates, He Chengyun!
It ranked only twenty-eighth in the previous week. This time, it was a strong counterattack with its performance on the edge of the cliff and entered the debut circle. It was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of this ranking ceremony. It entered the top eleven for the first time since the show began.
He Chengyun, who was so excited that he lost his mind, did not hide his excitement at all, because he had never seen his name. He was almost in a state of giving up and was sure that he was about to be eliminated. In the end, not only did he not, but he also entered the competition for the first candidate. Ecstasy burst out like this, and that pure sincerity made all the trainees smile together.
But the uproar is not only because Ha Sung-yun's soaring posture is even more exaggerated than Park Woo-jin, creating another variable tonight; it is not only because the expected "Lee Yong-ha vs Kang Daniel" is becoming a reality step by step, and the chaos is clearly formed; it is also because there are still no names heard:
Zhang Wenfu, Li Yixiong, Lin Yimin, and... Lai Guanlin.
Objectively speaking, the rankings of Zhang Wenfu and Li Yixiong have been slowly declining, and it seems that it is not an unexpected result to fail to enter the top 20.
As for Lin Yimin's words, it can only be said that fate is a mess of people.
Before the positioning evaluation, the farce from fans seriously affected Lin Yimin's popularity, but it was a blessing in disguise to gain the support of some passers-by; and, Lin Yimin, who appeared in rap, defeated Kim Jong Hyun in the positioning evaluation, also proved his strength. Therefore, during the second ranking ceremony, Lin Yimin's ranking soared to fifth place, creating his best results in the show.
However, during the recording of the theme evaluation, before the stage was played, negative news resurfaced.
Everything is about Lin Yimin's biological brother.
First, Lin Yumin followed the footsteps of Kang Daniel and others and was involved in the cheating of thematic evaluation. His brother uploaded the desired song in the fan chat group and successfully won a performance seat for Lin Yumin. However, because he was not discovered in public, the program team did not realize that there was still a fish that missed the net when punishing Kang Daniel and others.
Subsequently, Lin Yumin's brother was suspected of exposing the second ranking results in the chat group in advance, because the trainees signed a confidentiality agreement with the program team and prohibited spoilers in any form. The brother's behavior undoubtedly broke the agreement - later, the ranking results were confirmed to be correct and were completely consistent with the program broadcast results.
Such a move caused controversy among fans. Some fans believed that Lin Yimin only talked about the rankings with his family and did not make it public. This should be allowed and did not violate the agreement; while Lin Yimin's brother's actions were the behavior of "pig teammates", and Lin Yimin cannot be blamed.
At this time, fans publicly denied the rumors. They directly asked Brother Lin Yimin, and the other party said that the account that appeared in the chat group was not theirs.
Unexpectedly... the information about fans refuting rumors was confirmed to be forged again - after the previous "girlfriend incident", fans were caught again for fraud and refuting rumors, so the credibility was completely avalanche, causing ridicule. Passers-by turned around and left, and in the end, Lin Yimin had to bear the consequences.
So, to a certain extent, Lin Yumin, like Zhang Wenfu and Li Yixiong, has not been called until now, and it seems that it is not that surprising.
But what about Lai Guanlin?
Since the show started, it has always been popular in the top circle, without any negative news, and the show has shown a continuous improvement throughout the whole process. The last time it ranked, it reached the highest position in the third place, but when it entered the third ranking ceremony, it was not called in the top 19?
What's going on?
The audience was shocked!
The first reaction is, is there an error in the vote count?
Because it was too unexpected, the on-site staff had to come out and emphasize that there was no error in the ranking so far, and it was also true that Lai Guanlin was not included in the top four alternates.
This also means that Lai Guanlin must compete for the first time to advance to the next round, and the suspense of the 20th place has been magnified to the extreme like never before.
However, the accident still did not end there-
When Gu Qiyue announced fourth place, the audience was silent because an incredible name was heard from her mouth.
"Li Rongxia."
Since the show started, Lee Yongxia, whose ranking has been steadily rising, has never fallen out of the first and second place after entering the top two in the first ranking ceremony. From "Lee Yongxia vs Park Ji-hoon" to "Lee Yongxia vs Kim Jong Hyun", to "Lee Yongxia vs Kang Daniel", Lee Yongxia has always been the most stable and outstanding trainee, and can even be said to be the representative image of the show.
However!
However, there was a shocking change in the third ranking ceremony. Lee Rongxia slipped to fourth place, and after Kim Jong Hyun slipped to eighth place today, he became unpopular again. Moreover, Ha Chengyun was on the ranks against the sky, and his ranking was actually before Lee Rongxia, which was beyond the unpopular range. Even Ha Chengyun himself was confused and didn't know what was going on.
Although Li Rongxia still maintained a high position in fourth place, the shock level exceeded the fact that Lai Guanlin missed the top 19, and the whole game was frozen.
On the contrary, Li Rongxia, as the person involved, was the most calm and accepted the result calmly. With the shocked eyes of the audience, she walked onto the stage calmly to welcome her new ranking.
The highly anticipated "Li Rongxia vs. Kang Daniel" was not staged after all. Lee Rongxia was ranked fourth and Ha Chengyun was ranked third, so the third ranking ceremony became "Jiang Daniel vs. Park Ji-hoon". The story is somewhat familiar, but it has changed.
The ending is unexpected but reasonable.
First place, Jiang Daniel.
Second place, Park Ji-hoon.
Jiang Daniel, who experienced the cheating storm, successfully reborn, defeated the unfavorable situation of thematic evaluation, and reached the top of the throne for the first time with a dignified attitude.
Then, it was finally time to announce the last place in the finals, the 20th place.
The program team thoughtfully announced the rankings of other trainees one by one:
Li Jianmin, 32nd place; Zhang Wenfu, 27th place.
Roh Tae-hyun, 25th; Kenta Takada, 24th; Kwon Hyun-bin, 23th.
Naturally, the four alternates who competed for the 20th place were also released, including Li Yixiong, Jin Longguo, Lin Yimin, and Lai Guanlin.
There was a suffocating atmosphere in the studio No. 1. Even though he knew that the separation was coming, he could still feel the pain of his heart almost bursting.
