Finalmente terminaste de ver i-land, vos toda impaciente y yo llorando otra vez cuando los anunciaban JAJAJAJ voy a estar esperando a tus reacciones a &audition, ojala si lo veas β₯
most people panic voted I think the reason why the producers chose sunoo is because they already had a Japanese dancer niki and you know they donβt like many foreigners in their groups (yikes) and sunoo at the end of the day is THE stan attractor and he adds something different to the group, he has something to others so I think it was more for strategic move and I have to say bang pd knew what he was doing because heβs the only reason why I got into enhypen and care about them π

My thoughts on the voting: I think that a lot of people have more than one favourite contestant and based on what people said about their voting strategies a lot of them voted for the contestant who they thought were less popular and in danger of getting eliminated (you could only vote for one person in the final). I've watched and voted when Produce 101 and Produce X 101 aired and I've noticed that people always do the same mistakes over and over again were the most or one of the most popular contestants don't debut.
If you noticed K had more votes in the final than Sunoo but the producers didn't chose him. I've seen a lot of people say that they chose Sunoo because he is more talented or because they already had a center (Heesung) and a main dancer (Ni-Ki). I personally don't think that was the reason. I don't think talent can be measured since people have different preferences. I also think that a lot of groups have more than one member who could be center or main dancer.
I personally think that they chose Sunoo because of strategic reasons and because it would be good for the group with his kind of personality. Sunoo was the most popular contestant after all and it would be strange, controversial and bad for both Enhypen and Hybe if he didn't debut. I also belive that Hybe already had other plans for K. I read an interview where K said that a person higher up in Hybe talked to him right after the final about their plans to debut a group under Bighit Labels Japan wich is now YX Labels. K got to know who the other fixed members in &TEAM were a week later and Nicholas, EJ, Taki and (Kyungmin) got to know it a month later. Later on Hybe held auditions for &audition.
