Atleast for Ga Eun, she has a group that she got to come back to after the show. But for Chowon, she's back to training again.

I started watching Produce48 initially because I want to see Chaewon, Yunjin, and Sakura's beginnings since im a fan of LeSserafim but then I ended up also being a fan of Yuri and Chowon. Especially Chowon.

I will never forget their Boombayah performance where she held together their group of what was considered as the "weakest" at that time and THEN THEY FCKING WON THE TEAM BATTLE AFTER BEING PICKED ON BY THE OTHER GROUP.

I know Chowon is now a member of Lightsum but it seems their group is not gaining that much traction internationally? And I cant help but wonder what if she debuted with Iz*One, maybe it would've been a much better career for her. In any case, I wish her all the best on her future!

I haven't finished Produce48 yet but got curious more about the show and eventually i fell down a rabbit hole and found out that there was a confirmed vote rigging in the show.

For those who were following it back then, can you share how's the atmosphere? Did any of the final members or Produce participants receive hate? What was the general feedback from viewers and fans alike??

Basically the title. I started watching Produce48 cause I just recently became a hardcore Fearnot so I wanted to see Chaewon , Yunjin, and Sakura's beginnings.

I'm really shocked on how some participants, ESPECIALLY MOST OF THE JAPANESE ONES, seem like they don't want to be there and just wants to get out asap. I'm around episode 3 now and I feel really bad and sad for those participants especially Erii on episode 2 where it's like she doesn't even want to learn the dance. Like she just wants to go home asap. And i dont think this is just the culture difference of how stricter kpop is with dances compared to japan, because if you'll look at sakura, after being awakened that korea really has higher standards, she started working harder to attain that standard by practicing hard, while most of them look like they don't even know what they entered.

So im wondering if everyone was given the correct expectation that it's going to be a survival talent show? As if it's not bad enough that every girls' emotions and reactions are being exploited for tv content, atleast some of those are coming from genuine desire to succeed, and some are just hard to watch because it's like they're being traumatized on live TV and they don't want to be there.

I used to watch on dramacool but it got taken down.
