I'm probably gonna get hate for this, but I'll say it:

I'm not mad about Produce X 101 rigging IZ*ONE's lineup. I'm actually happy they did.

Of course what Produce X 101 did was extremely dirty and evil, but what's done is done and I won't complain.

I do feel bad about the people that didn't make it, it sucks. But like I said, it's done and there's nothing we can do about it.

If it wasn't rigged, Yujin wouldn't have been in it and she's my bias. I love her to death.

I wouldn't be missing out if Hyewon wasn't in it though, her stage presence is horrifying.

If anyone is curious as to what IZ*ONE's lineup was supposed to look like (based on POPULARITY, since fans were supposed to vote), here's a list. I'll also include the youtube video above, I recommend watching it.

Keep in mind that this is based on 4 selected fancam views (since there are so many), so it's not one hundred percent accurate.

There are twelve members of IZ*ONE. This is what it could've looked like:

#12: Kwon Eunbi (actual position: #7)

#11: Heo Yunjin (actual position: #26)

#10: Goto Moe (actual position: #24)

#9: Jang Wonyoung (actual position: #1)

#8: Lee Ka-eun (actual position: #14)

#7: Honda Hitomi (actual position: #9) the closest in reality.

#6: Takeuchi Miyu (actual position: #17)

#5: Shiroma Miru (actual position: #20)

#4: Lee Chaeyeon (actual position: #12) they really disrespected the best dancer smh

#3: Murase Sae (actual position: #22)

#2: Yabuki Nako (actual position: #6)

#1: Miyawaki Sakura (actual position: #2) we all know Produce 101 didn't want a Japanese winning a Korean survival show

Keep in mind that these are just based on four fancam views, but this is more close to what it would've looked like rather than what it is now. Would your fave have made it into IZ*ONE?

My bias, Yujin's position is #5, when she was actually supposed to be #17. So I'm not mad lol!

Besides, Yuri is #3 when she was supposed to be #20, and Chaewon and Yena didn't even make it to top 20! These three girls' vocals are breathtaking so I'm glad they're in IZ*ONE (listen to Someday. Amazing!)

Also look at the names of those who were (theoretically) supposed to be in the lineup. Most of them are Japanese, which means IZ*ONE would've basically been a Japanese group based in Korea. Produce X 101 couldn't have that, so this rigging isn't actually a surprise.

Anyone else think some of the IZ*ONE members (I'm looking at you, Hyewon) are lowkey relieved that it got rigged? I'm sure they feel bad, but they sure as hell won't change a thing because they wouldn't have made it into the group.
