LTA KPOP 2 EP 12: Top 10 Rookies of 2017

I had this list written in my journal for awhile and it because I never wrote it down on a LTA KPOP episode. Therefore, I am doing it now. As I started this season, I was writing a whole bunch of list down and I look back and notice that I haven't wrote down my top rookies groups that debuted in 2017 or 2016. So this episode would be groups that debuted in 2017. This list hasn't change a lot from the original list but I would tell you why the groups are in their current ranking. 

1. Wanna One

Wanna One is from the Produce 101 Season 2. The group consists of the final top eleven trainees at the end of the finale live show. The members are: Yoon Ji Sung, Ha Sung Woon, Hwang Min Hyun, Ong Seong Woo, Kim Jae Hwan, Kang Daniel, Park Ji Hoon, Park Woo Jin, Bae Jin Young, Lee Dae Hwi and Lai Guan Lin. The group officially disband in 2019 after their final concert Therefore, although their contract stated that they will disband at the end of December 2018.

I knew Wanna One was going to be a successful group while watching the produce season. I pretty sure everyone did too. They work hard and were recognized for it. They ranked number two on Forbes Korea Power Celebrity list for 2018 and was recognized for their brand recognition and marketing power. Every comeback was a success, even their debut was successful too. It was sad to see them disband, but we all saw this coming already. Yes, I would love to see them reunited in the coming years and continue supporting each of the members in their own career paths.

PRODUCE Series 'Final Line Up' Similarities and Coincidences

With the latest PRODUCE season finished, we already know who made it to the final line up but before that there was a lot of guessing who is going to make it to the final line up base on similarities and coincidences from the last three seasons. The internet hasn't stop buzzing about who's going to make it to the final line up and even after the final line up was announced there was a lot of things that broke those coincidences and similarities over the last three seasons. 

I have been a huge fan of the PRODUCE series since the very beginning and each seasons, it get harder to pick who's going to make it to the final line up. Honestly, I'm disappointed that some of my favorite trainees didn't make it but at the end of the season, I still love the final line up. There are some members that are predictable, if they don't leave the top debut rankings but since season two, it has become a crazy world of rankings and you don't know who is going to leave the debut ranking. 

In this blog, I am telling you some similarities and coincidences that other people have already name or listed on social media. I'll leave links below if you want to check those out, but I also found some of my own as I was doing my research. Let's go ahead and get started.
