PRODUCE 48’s True Final Ranking Before The Votes Were Manipulated According To News Report

Ahn Joon Young, the main PD of the Produce 101 series, recently confessed that he manipulated the outcomes for all 4 seasons of the show. Prosecution soon followed up to revealed that the final lineup for PRODUCE 48 was decided on even before the audition show began airing.

As the story continues to develop, the prosecution discovered that the producers were unhappy with the 3rd round of ranking for the last 20 members and decided to disregard the public votes and manipulate the final ranking.

The top 12 members of the ranking were set to debut as IZ*ONE, but when the final public votes were received, the producers changed up the lineup because they deemed some of the top 12 members as “unfitting with the IZ*ONE concept” or simply not the trainees that they wanted to debut.

News reports revealed the alleged true ranking from the final votes, and it was very different from the ranking announced during the final episode.

“Produce” PDs Reportedly Cited Pressure From Wanna One’s Success As Motive For Ranking Manipulation

On December 7, various media outlets reported details from the prosecution’s written indictment of Mnet producing director (PD) Ahn Joon Young and chief producer (CP) Kim Yong Bum.

According to the indictment, Ahn and Kim said that Wanna One and I.O.I’s success made them feel pressured about the subsequent success of IZ*ONE and X1. Unlike the first two seasons of the “Produce” series, which the producers have only admitted to partially manipulating, it is alleged that the final rankings of “Produce 48” and “Produce X 101” were entirely manipulated by the producers.

The investigation into Ahn’s case also revealed that he was recognized as a valuable employee by CJ ENM due to the financial success of the first two “Produce” seasons and that he received special incentives as a result.

Also according to the indictment, Ahn conspired to choose the final lineup in “Produce 48” regardless of votes when he saw that trainees whom he felt didn’t fit the concept made it in to the top ranks. In the case of “Produce X 101,” Ahn mentioned specifically X1’s long contract (five years) and their status as a boy group (inviting comparisons to Wanna One) as reasons for the manipulation of their rankings.

However, the media outlets who reported on the written indictment noted that Ahn’s testimony may not align with suspicions that he received special treatment from agencies. According to the prosecution, Ahn received this treatment 47 times from five entertainment agency representatives between January 2018 to July 2019. “Produce 48” aired from June to August 2018 and “Produce X 101” aired from May to July 2019. It has not been confirmed whether this special treatment influenced the ranking manipulation.
