Produce X 101- Final Ranking

So, I was actually able to watch the entire finale. I'm still going to hold off on writing anything about the actual show portion of this episode until english subtitles are released. That being said the group name is X1. It's sweet and simple and basically sums up the premise of this season. Now onto the rankings. My current top 11 are:

1. Cho Seung Youn
2. Lee Han Gyul
3. Han Seung Woo
4. Keum Dong Hyun
5. Hwang Yun Seong
6. Kim Yo Han
7. Song Yu Vin
8. Song Hyung Jun
9. Son Dong Pyo
10. Nam Do Hyun
11. Lee Jin Hyuk

I know I already changed my list from literally yesterday. I honestly happy with whatever the final ranking is as long as Cho Seung Youn and Han Seung Woo get in. If Lee Han Gyul get in, that's an extra bonus. I truly wish that all of the guys could debut in X1, which obviously is not going to happen. Anyway, onto the official rankings.

1. Kim Yo Han

When they told us 1st place was down to Kim Woo Seok or Kim Yo Han, I was not surprised. I think saw that coming. It was basically a race between these two for 1st place this entire time. It was then announced that Kim Yo Han got center and I was so happy. He is so naturally talented, everything he tries ends up working well for him. He also has a great personality and humor as seen from his PR video. I am honestly so happy for him. When it comes to X1 itself, he could probably do any position he wants, but I really hope he goes for rapping, like I really like it when he raps. I can't wait to see him in this group.

2. Kim Woo Seok

Woo Seok is definitely very talented and really deserves the place he is in. He gave Yo Han a run for his money for 1st place, but it's great that he got 2nd and I am so happy that he is in this group. He has delivered amazing performance over and over again, I still totally love his performance in Love Shot. I am excited to see him in X1.

3. Han Seung Woo

I am so so psyched to see Seung Woo in this line up. He will definitely make an amazing leader and main vocalist. OMG I am so happy. He is so so talented and definitely deserves to be here. I am also so happy to see Song Don Pyo and Han Seung Woo together and can't wait to see them promote together.

4. Song Hyung Jun

When they said he was a leader, I honestly did not think of him right away, probably like a lot of other people. However, I am really happy for him. He really rose from the bottom to the top. I still remember him being the leader for the X Rank and just crying so much because it was really hard for him. But now we get to see him finally debut in X1. He really has proven himself on the show as an amazing dancer, and I am really so happy for him.

5. Cho Seung Youn

When they were calling this rank and said it was a main rapper I literally held my breath and had my fingers crossed for him. I am so so so so psyched to see him here. THIS IS MY BOI!!! OMG I am so overwhelmed with joy right now. I am literally smiling from ear to ear. I was so worried he wouldn't make it because he wasn't given a lot of screen time this episode, but he made it. HE MADE IT!!! He will definitely be a great mood maker for he group. His position, he could honestly be any position, he is so talented. I truly can't wait to see him promote in X1. I know he will KILL variety shows. OMG, I'm so happy, I really cannot even. (I know this is a grammatical mess. I am just too excited.)

6. Son Dong Pyo

OMG!! I was soooo worried he wouldn't make it because his rank has been decreasing, but I am so happy they finally rose back up. He definitely deserves to be here. I love his cute and bubbly personality and am so excited to see him in this line up. He was an amazing center and is so talented. I really hope that Seung Woo gets in this lineup too.

7. Lee Han Gyul

I am so psyched he got in. OMG. I honestly did not think he would get in, but he did and I am so psyched. I've seen him grow throughout the Unit and now through Produce X 101, and I am so excited to that he got in. He really did not get a lot of screen time until the Position Evaluation where he was center. It's really great to see him get a lot of love now (especially from the 20-30 old females, thank you). I am so so so excited to see him in X1.

8. Nam Do Hyun

Like Jun Ho, Do Hyun was one of those trainees that were really shy at first, but has really become more expressive as the show progressed. It was great to see him in the more recent episodes have fun with the trainees and scream (like a girl) and wiggle around. I think he will make a great addition to the group through being a rapper, which they probably will need.

9. Cha Jun Ho

I was honestly kind of shocked to see him make the group, but I'm really excited to see him as a part of X1. Like Min Hee, he didn't really stand out that much in the beginning, but has slowly started to show up more. It was great to see him step out of of his shell and express himself more throughout the show. It was great to see him grow close to Kim Yo Han and Lee Eunsang and I hope they can join them in the group.

10. Kang Min Hee

I was so psyched to hear his name called. His voice is absolutely gorgeous. In the beginning, he didn't really get a lot of screen time and flew under my radar, but since the concept battle he really has impressed me. I am so impressed with how hard he worked to get here and am so excited to see him as a part of X1.

11. Lee Eun Sang

I was so shocked Song Yu Vin wasn't even a candidate for 11th place. It turned out that Koo Jung Mo, Kim Min Kyu, Lee Jin Hyuk, and Lee Eun Sang were all up for 11th. Lee Eun Sang got the spot in the end. I am so proud for him. The professional applier applied for a job on this team and he got it. He's obviously very talented, taking positions as rapper and singer. I love his attitude towards everything too. He is eager to try new things and put himself out there, but he isn't salty if he doesn't get the position and seems truly happy and proud for whoever does. Anyway, he really deserves to be in this group and I can't wait to see him promote as a part of X1.

Overall, I really like the line up. I am shocked that Song Yu Vin and Lee Jin Hyuk did not make the final lineup, but I think that the lineup is really good. I feel like there is a good mix of vocalists and rappers, sexy types and cute types, and shy personalities and outgoing personalities. There are also many really close friendships that got in like Han Seung Woo and Son Dong Pyo's friendship, Cha Jun Ho, Lee Eun Sang, and Kim Yo Han's friendship, and Kim Yo Han and Cho Seung Youn's friendship. Anyway, I am super super psyched for X1. I can't wait to see what they come out with. For all the trainees that did not make the final line up, I hope that have another JBJ for them and I hope that they all are able to debut or have more success in the groups that they are in. So... Um... Yeah...

P.S. I decided against posting another post on the finale because watching basically 4 hours was already a tiring emotional roller coaster for me and I really didn't feel like watching it all over again. I'm sorry 😪

Produce X 101- Position Evaluation

I love position evaluation. I think it gives the rappers a chance to really shine when they usually have to showcase singing or dancing. It also gives us epic performances such as Shape of You and "Michoji" from Season 2. Either way it allows people to really showcase their talents. The introduction of the X position definitely added interest. I think it is definitely very important for the trainees to be able to both sing and dance at the same time or rap and dance at the same time, since that is what they are going to be doing as an idol. Vocal Position Twit by Hwasa I love how this song was not like the typical ballad type songs to showcase their singing. Their harmonies were amazing and I loved it. Lee Hyeop did really well and I think it was great that he was finally able to showcase his singing ability. Jeonghwa also really stood out with his strong voice and cool stage presence. The performance overall was very captivating and I was really impressed and liked...

Produce X 101- First Elimination

Agh, elimination. Definitely my least favorite episodes, because it is so sad to see trainees go home. I do really enjoy the little events they have in between that lighten the mood of the episode a bit, but overall it's really hard to see some the trainees you really like go home. Entrances I love the entrances and how they consist of inside jokes between the contestants and are just the trainees having a fun time. My favorite entrance would be C9's where Lee Jae Bin and Keum Dong Hyun are pretending to play baseball. Other entrances that I enjoyed were Astory Entertainment's Jeon Hyun Woo and Heo Jin Ho, Plan A (or is it Plan M now, I am so confused) Entertainment's Choi Byung Chan and Han Seung Woo, Brand New Music's Kim Si Hun, Yoon Jeong Hwan, Lee Eun Sang, and Hong Seong Jun, and JH1's Jun Euhara. Body Camp This is one of my favorite sections that this show does. It's really lighthearted and fun. When it came to checking if the trainees have a...
