As we can see, the show has 3 centers, 1 per “planet” (nation). Kim Dayeon of K-Group, Shen Xiaoting of C-Group, and Ezaki Hikaru of J-Group. The final performance of OOO will have the 3 centers again instead of just 1, so that leads me to believe there will be 3 centers all together for the group
It’s rumored the top 9 will consist of 3 per team, and that the contestants can pick them in & out. It was rumored the center positions were chosen by the contestants instead of the judges, so if true that part would hold up
That would be pretty cool if so, because then there could be a rotational center system depending on where they promote at (K-center for Korean promos, J-center for Japanese promos, C-center for Chinese promos)
The lineup while implied to be 9, was never officially confirmed as such. Mnet released the schedule saying N members. And it was rumored this group is somewhere between 9-12
I think it’s a possibility in case the 3x3x3 thing doesn’t come to the most ideal conclusion, and knowing Mnet prob would be an excuse to throw more K-Girls in
The 3x3x3 thing works rn to ensure at least 6 girls can promote in China, cuz you know…. Koreans not allowed to promote there
I hope the 3 center thing is true at least. Even if it does end up being free for all, there will be at least 1 of each group, and the top girl per group could have center in their home country promos, or they could just have 3 centers no matter where they go (or 2 centers in China since again…. K-Girls can’t promote there TT)
