Centers usually have somewhat immunity to making it to the final group for idol survival shows. The thing is, those shoes have 1 center, but GP999 has 3. All 3 being treated very equally, unlike how it was for Produce 48 where Sakura was the center for one half, Kaeun was the center for the other half, but Sakura was the center overall. Then again, Kaeun was part of the non-rigged final top 12, but that’s a convo for another day
The 3 centers for GP999 were Dayeon, Xiaoting, and Hikaru. They gotta compete amongst their respective nationalities in a top 9, so the competition for all the girls is gonna be insane just for them to make it to the final group, let alone reach center position
Lowkey feel like 2/3 of them will make it. But I would be great if all 3 make it
