PLANET GIRL 999 TOP DEBUT PICK

Let me tell you my experience in this show to be able to judge yet another mnet show. I've followed all of the produce series, from season 1 to the latest produce x 101. Altho, for the first season, I don't watch it on time, yet, I am able to predict the top 3 correctly. For the other season, I've pretty good percentage of guessing who will be in the top 20 from 101 people. Afterall, for the last roundx it's mixed with how mnet picked their group, align with the concept that they have in mind, who people can't guess at least, not from the beginning. 

The first eps will show you which contestant attracts mnet producer more and they're willing to give them a lot of airtime for fans to pick them up too. Not all tho, because they also show several talented people who honestly speaking isn't the usual standard as an idol member, for entertainment sake and rating. Public will love them, but not as far as loyal and die hard vote for them. In this kind of competition, the contestants who have loyal fanbase will win. 

Although mnet said they based on talent and fans vote, actually they like to choose the most appealing member with visual align with their concept. And one more note, mnet really like to make sacrifice of at least one popular member not to enter the debut line. Without further ado, lets start! 

From J group

Ezaki hikaru: as #1 representative of Japan, she delivered. The coach acknowledge her talent the most. Although, her beauty isn't a standard Kpop visual (with her body figure too), but her unique appeal make her stands out than any other girl from that show. She along with shen xiao ting should have a high percentage to debut in final lineline,  if there is no scandal. 

Kawaguchi yurina: she has that charm which make many otaku, geek, nerd boys root for her. Her appeal might boost the final group in term of sales. Just like sakura from izone with her loyal fans. With luxurious background as an actress, she is also ahead behind other contestants. 

Sakamoto mashiro: hmm, she will stay longer & have decent airtime, but dunno, I just feel that mnet only use her for plot and making the final product as the higher grade product. As an ex JYP trainee, she will get decent airtime. Plus if they want to add 3 Japanese trainee and not only 2, as she is a Korean speaker, she will help the group overall.

From C group

Shen Xiao Ting: as someone who is #1, have visual that standard as KPop girl group, talent + luxurious background as a winner in many competition, I think if there is no scandal involve, she will definitely debut. I'm sure about 90%, like I've guessed somi, se jeong, sakura, ong seungwo, jihoon, yohan and more since the first episode. 

Sui rui Qi: she is also great on par with shen xiao ting in term of talents, visual and as #2, her presence also strong. Her body proportion is also great as girl group. My only concern is that she is sometimes too strong, which isn't the typical girl that mnet like. But since we don't know what kind of group that mnet plan to debut yet, if mnet plan to debut a fatal multi talented group, she might get picked.

Chen hsin wei: her visual, somehow mnet seems like her so much based on her visual and awkwardly interesting action? She might be another kim minju. Her skills might be lacking now, but who know that she could advance to another level? At least, she won't get eliminated at first elimination.

Notable mention Cai bing, reason: because she has a lot of career before joining this competition, so has created solid fan base like yujin. But her vibe, doesn't exactly what mnet is looking for.

From K group

Seo young jun: for her case, it's mostly the same case as choi yena. She doesn't have a lot of luxurious background like other trainees, yet her personality stands out. She also have decent talents to back it. If She might not be able to debut, at least her journey will be longer. 

Kang yeseo: she might be chaewon or seungyeon vibe. With her visual and performance, she might suddenly appears out of nowhere and settle her own spot in the debut line. 

Choi Yujin: clc member, could be the next nuest/victon things. If public love her and start to give interest again to her, she might debut! As for now, mnet only use her for rating, drama and story line or plot. I'm just worried that she might become the next gaeun. 

Kim suyeon: it's a bit tricky for her. She give me hyewon or dongpyo vibe. I don't root for her, but it seems she will become mnet favorite. 

Kim do ah: for me, she will not debuting. Sorry to say, but I think better girl is more interesting than her and could be a better asset for mnet. Yet, mnet will give her plenty of airtime for her hard work to participate again in their program. At least, she won't get eliminated at first elimination.

Huening bahiyyih: as for now, her look is stands out (like somi, samuel) but for me she is just international fans favorite. Aside of the fact that mnet introduce her with family connection of a boy group, they don't show her much, especially focusing to her talents. I think she will be some cherry on top, like the sky castle boy in produce x 101 or samuel. At least, she won't get eliminated at first elimination.

Kim chaehyun: at least worth mentioning, nothing much for now aside her visual is cute type that kpop like. 

Kim dayeon: #1 rank in K group, but somehow not my type sorry.... Dunno, I just have a feeling that someone from K group might replace her as the center of debut line.  At least, she won't get eliminated at first elimination.

The only group that I still can't find who stands out most is the K group. Most of them is good but noone is stands out. It's different than J and C group, it's like the stand out one is already in different level than their group.
