If he was one of the 11-14th rank trainees that Mnet showed during the live, then Im 10000% sure he would of been voted for like crazy and pushed back into the very top. Mnet really messed the votings by doing that :\ Did they do this in season 1 - or was it just the 11th ranked trainee?

Yeah - I think I'm most upset that he'll be missing out on all the activities that the boys in wanna one are doing when I wanted to see him be more active - cause pledis are the worst when It comes to promoting and managing their artists :(

I watched Produce 101 S2 the next day after its Korean broadcast so english subtitles can be available. as soon as news and final members of wanna one was released I'm quite positive that Never Team can all make it, but to my dismay, I can't see Jonghyun's name on the list and it makes me so frustrated because only him out of my top 11 favorite trainees didn't make it unexpectedly and his on top of my list. Up until now I haven't seen the finale because I can't calm my self, for me its a big joke that only him didn't make it though I like 10 out of 11 final line up, still it breaks my heart not having Jonghyun with them. He DESERVE to win more than anyone else[my opinion], He's a great leader among all Leaders in P101S2. I just hope that him didn't make it to top11 will give him much better opportunities and receive more support..

I'm still in shock T___THe didn't deserve for it to end this way. I suppose the silver lining is that he can participate in the comeback later this year. I feel it would have been more devastating if only Minki missed out.I leave you with all with a present <3

Wanna One? Tragic name and tragic line up! I can't believe those from 11-14 debuted and only 1 guy end at 12th (almost debut). DONGHO AND JONGHYUN THEY WERE IN THE LINE UP! THIS MID SHOW RANKINGS TARGETED AT GENERAL PUBLIC VOTES. MOST OF THEM DIDNT EVEN FOLLOW THE SHOW AND THEY JUST VOTED FOR THESE 4. 1 SINGLE SMS = 7 VOTES. LOGIC: OFC FANDOMS ALREADY VOTED FOR THEIR FAVS VS GENERAL PUBLIC GAVE RANDOM VOTES TO THESE 4 (THANKS MNET FOR MID-SHOW RANKINGS) UNNECESSARY. WHY THEY GAVE 11-14 SO MUCH BENEFITS? DISADVANTAGE FOR THOSE WHO END AT 7-10.............
