*total votes per ranking announcement from Wikipedia)

I’m really not trying to start drama, I know all the girls worked hard and they all deserve to debut, but when looking at the total vote accumulation, who ultimately ended up being voted Top 12, and the rank they ultimately got, the discrepancy is astounding. The biggest shakeup being that, had place been determined by accumulation, Gaeun would have finished 4th. I’m also shocked that even when I calculated the accumulated votes, there were still only 3 Japanese girls in the Top 12.  I’m amazed that Miho and Miyu wouldn’t have made the cut either way, and surprised that Shiroma Miru’s accumulated votes leave her in 13th place, just below the cutline, while her final episode rank was 20th.
