Netizens put together a 'realistically possible', fan-wanted project group from 'Boys Planet'

AKP STAFF

It's a tradition for the 'Produce' series to see the birth of not just one project group made up of the final winners of the competition, but also a second, "fan-wanted" project group. From 'Produce 101' season 1, the project group I.B.I was born, while from 'Produce 101' season 2, two groups were born - JBJ and Rainz.

Now that Mnet's 'Boys Planet' has come to an end with the creation of the 9-member boy group ZEROBASEONE, fans are already busy drawing up a plan for their own "fan-wanted" project group.

Drawing up a "realistically possible" plan is essential for fan-made project groups, as "unrealistic" plans which interfere with the plans of the trainees and their companies will likely face denial.

Here's the "realistically possible" lineup for the fan-made project group drawn by K-netizens, as well as their reasoning for choosing the following trainees.

The group members:

1. Lee Seung Hwan (Unaffiliated)

2. Park Han Bin (Wake One Entertainment)

3. Lee Jung Hyun (Wake One Entertainment)

4. Yoo Seung Eon (Yue Hua Korea)

5. Ma Jing Xiang (Unaffiliated)

6. Moon Jung Hyun (Wake One Entertainment)

7. Lim Jun Seo (143 Entertainment)

*8~11. Open to other fans' suggestions.

The tentative, suggested project group name: B1ANET.

The reasoning for the members' selection:

1. The members of a fan-made project group must be from a company whose trainees are less likely to debut in their own group soon after the survival show ends.

2. The members must not be members from existing groups. Some members who halt their group activities to appear on survival programs have tended to return to their group promotions after the competition.

3. For a fan-made project group to debut successfully, the members must consist of trainees with strong, influential fandoms.

4. In the case of Wake One Entertainment, it will be in charge of managing the activities of both ZEROBASEONE and the fan-made project group. Therefore, the agency is more likely to agree to the idea of a fan-made project group.

5. Yue Hua Korea trainees who did not make it onto ZEROBASEONE will face a period of inactivity during ZB1's debut and promotions. Thus, these trainees are likely to benefit from project group activities while waiting for their fellow trainees to return.

How did netizens react to the suggestion? Some said,

"Add Na Kamden please."

"If this group adds Na Kamden and Hiroto, it'll be the best project group yet."

"Yoo Seung Eon, Lee Jung Hyun!"

"Idk if this is the most realistic lineup. There's the factor of the agency's situation, but there's also the agency's habits. Some agencies just don't have plans to let their trainees participate in uncertain projects."

"Is is confirmed that Wake One will manage any fan-made project groups?? Won't that company be too busy trying to push ZEROBASEONE??"

"What about Keum Joon Hyun TT."

"The name B1anet is way better than ZEROBASEONE."

"But the fan-made project groups actually didn't turn out that well?? So idk if the agencies will want to do another project group."

"Please add Woong Gi. An idol group needs a funny member."

"Park Han Bin, Moon Jung Hyun, Na Kamden, Lee Seung Hwan. If you have these four I'm all for it. This lineup is even better than the debut team honestly."
