I bet you all missed me and my Girls Planet 999 articles! ;)

This is the last one. I swear.

Probably.

Be glad I’m not doing any articles for Boys Planet.

Just for a quick refresher, Girls Planet 999 was a K-pop idol survival show produced by South Korean station Mnet. It started airing on Aug. 6, 2021, with its finale on Oct. 22, 2021. The 99 contestants—33 each from Korea, Japan and China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan)—were chosen from over 13,000 applicants, so you know they’re already very talented. The goal, as with other idol survival shows, is to last long enough to debut with the final group—I.O.I and IZ*ONE are examples of such temporary groups from Mnet’s Produce series. From this, we got the group Kep1er.

Kep1er is still going strong, though if I remember correctly, their contract only goes to around summer of 2024. I’m absolutely wishing for good things for them, and I’m loving their career so far! “Back to the City” is a certified bop.

Like last time, I’ll be going over everything based on final ranks in each group (Korea, Japan, China) and will be linking their social media where applicable. Those who have no updates will be stated as such. All of these girls are incredibly talented, and I look forward to supporting them wherever I can!

Rank 33 – Han Dana, Liu Yuhan, Nakamura Kyara

I mentioned last year that Han Dana might’ve been debuting in a group under Beats Entertainment, since she mentioned signing with the company in a now-deleted Instagram post. As of now, she resigned from the company—confirmed by her unfollowing the Beats Entertainment Instagram—and has started her own YouTube channel in November of 2022. She hasn’t uploaded many videos, only four dance covers so far, but despite that, she already has over 200 subscribers. She’s quite active on her Instagram, so I’m looking forward to hearing good things about her in the future!

Liu Yuhan only recently opened an Instagram account, and even though she isn’t as active as some of the other people I’ll talk about, the pictures she’s posted of her dogs are downright adorable. She’s still listed as being under Jaywalk Newjoy here, but not on the wiki pages for Jaywalk Newjoy or its parent company, Jiaxing Media. The same website lists her as being active in 2021 and from 2023-present, so maybe that’s where the discrepancy came from. Either way, I’m glad she’s doing well!

Like last year, there’s not much to say about Nakamura Kyara, who I believe is still an independent trainee. She posts actively on her Instagram, including recent pictures with Aratake Rinka. She seems to be doing well, despite there being no news about her on the entertainment front.

Rank 32 – Cho Haeun, Wang Qiuru, Kitajima Yuna

Cho Haeun is currently listed as a former trainee from WAKEONE, the entertainment company Kep1er is signed under. It appears she left the company sometime in 2022, after I’d published my last Girls Planet 999 article. As it seems like her Instagram has been deleted, I hope all is well with her.

Wang Qiuru is still performing with SNH48’s Team SII under STAR48. While researching for this, her Kpop Wiki page listed her as a “former” member of SNH48, but the SNH48 official Wikipedia page says otherwise—only because, on second look, the members are accurate as of July 2, 2022. Additionally, the AKB48 Wiki lists her as an unofficially graduated member as of March 22, 2023 and an officially graduated member as of April 4. I learned so much about how SNH48 operates just from her alone, haha.

Kitajima Yuna is still relatively silent as an individual trainee, and hasn’t posted since Dec. 31, 2022. I hope this year has been treating her well, as she hoped in that post!

Rank 31 – Kim Yubin, Liu Shiqi, Kanno Miyu

As far as I can tell, Kim Yubin is still an individual trainee. Her Instagram might’ve been deleted as well, as the link for it no longer works. Wishing her well!

Liu Shiqi is also part of Jaywalk Newjoy based on the same source as Liu Yuhan. I unfortunately couldn’t find anything else about her at this time.

This group didn’t have many updates at all, because I also have no updates on the individual trainee Kanno Miyu.

Rank 30 – Joung Min, Lin Shuyun, Oki Fuka

Here’s where some things get interesting. Joung Min, at last we heard, was under BlockBerryCreative and was set to debut with the trainee team Bebez. However, she opened a public Instagram account in April of this year, confirming that she left both Bebez and BlockBerryCreative. She’s been active on her social media since, and appears to be really happy! Good for her!

Not only did Lin Shuyun open an Instagram account, but she’s currently part of a Taiwanese survival show called NEXT GIRLZ, which has 64 contestants. On NEXT GIRLZ, she goes by Shu Yun, and has been signed under TPOP Entertainment since earlier this year. NEXT GIRLZ began airing on YouTube on July 30. It doesn’t seem to have subtitles as I’m writing this, but hopefully that’s rectified for global audiences. She’s part of the reserve group CRYXTAL (which has its own Instagram), and I’m not quite sure what “reserve” means in this case since I haven’t watched the show myself.

Oki Fuka has been a lot more active on her social media than she was last year, and it looks like she’s doing well! As far as I can tell, that’s all the news on her front. Except I was also a little nosy and looked into who she was following to see if she was following any entertainment companies, and it’s just kind of heartwarming in a way that a lot of the former contestants seem to be following each other still!

Rank 29 – Suh Jimin, Poon Wingchi, Okuma Sumomo

Suh Jimin is still under WAKEONE as a trainee. It doesn’t look like WAKEONE has plans for her soon, unfortunately.

Poon Wingchi is still under Echo Entertainment, and opened both a YouTube channel and an Instagram account. Her YouTube only has two videos from last year, but she already has over a thousand subscribers. She’s very active as a trainee, it seems!

Okuma Sumomo is still under CAT’S EYE Okinawa as a model, and it doesn’t look like she’s been active on social media since 2021. Wishing good things for her.

Rank 28 – Ryu Sion, Ho Szeching, Terasaki Hina

Ryu Sion is still part of the trainee group Bebez under BlockBerryCreative. Bebez is said to be debuting sometime in 2023, and there are currently four unnamed members of the group apart from her and Choi Yeyoung. A fun fact about Sion is that her sister Yeonsu is a member of the recently debuted group ADYA! Talented family right there.

Ho Szeching is still an individual trainee. She’s relatively active on social media, and seems to be doing well!

Terasaki Hina is signed under KISS Entertainment, and is one of reportedly three trainees under the company. She’s pretty active on social media, and has also started a YouTube channel that unfortunately isn’t very active. I hope she gets her chance to debut soon.

Rank 27 – Choi Hyerin, Chien Tzuling, Kamikura Rei

Choi Hyerin has been more active on social media recently, due to the announcement of her participating in the SBS survival show Universe Ticket. This show has 82 contestants—survival shows love using large amounts of contestants, haha—and should begin airing in November. She’s one of two Girls Planet 999 contestants competing for a spot in the final group, so I’ll wish her luck and try holding myself back from watching this show!

Chien Tzuling’s YouTube channel has actually deleted all of its content since last year, but she seems relatively active on social media. In January, she was said to be confirmed to also be competing on NEXT GIRLZ, but apart from a tweet by @nugupromoter (who I follow on Instagram), I can’t find an official confirmation. Additionally, she isn’t listed as an official contestant and doesn’t mention NEXT GIRLZ at all on her Instagram. Because I’m a fan of doing a lot of research for topics I enjoy, I looked at the official Instagram for NEXT GIRLZ, where they introduce all the contestants and even link their individual Instagrams, and Tzuling was not listed there, either. So, long story short, we haven’t heard much about her in the last year.

Kamikura Rei actually deleted all of her Instagram posts from last year and as of me writing this (Aug. 14) only has one post. I tried looking through her following to see if she was following a company, as she was an individual trainee last we heard, and found that she follows YooA from Oh My Girl, which is just cool to me since Oh My Girl is so underrated in my opinion. The man in the picture with her is a music producer, so fans are wondering if this means she might debut in some capacity soon, possibly as part of the Japanese group XG that Kep1er member Hikaru was once said to join when Kep1er’s activities are over, or possibly in another associated group.

Rank 26 – Lee Yunji, Cui Wenmeixiu, Murakami Yume

Lee Yunji, known as Ara as part of ILY:1, is doing well! ILY:1 recently had a comeback in July. Because of this, she isn’t very active on social media, but she seems to be doing well!

Cui Wenmeixiu competed on the reality show Great Dance Crew last year alongside a few other Girls Planet 999 contestants. It looks to me like she got close to the end, but was unfortunately eliminated. As far as I can tell, she’s still in the project group COLOR, but I can’t tell what the group’s done by way of activities.

Murakami Yume’s company, B301 Entertainment, rebranded to Hyper Rhythm in 2022. She’s only one of four trainees under the company as of now, as far as I can tell. Apart from that, she’s pretty active on social media, including her TikTok.

Rank 25 – Kim Yeeun, Lin Chenhan, Inaba Vivienne

Kim Yeeun signed with Neul Entertainment this year after leaving Fantiago Music in 2021. It looks like her Instagram was deleted as well, so I hope all is well with her!

Last year, Lin Chenhan played a role in the show Song of the Moon, which aired on iQIYI (with English subtitles, if you’re interested). She’s a little active on social media, but one of her most recent posts seems to be suggesting that she might be filming a new show or movie!

Although there don’t seem to be a lot of updates on Inaba Vivienne, it looks like she’s doing well on her social media!

Rank 24 – Lee Sunwoo, Ma Yuling, Okazaki Momoko

Lee Sunwoo, who’s under Evermore Entertainment, is one of two current members of the trainee group EVERMORE MUSE. Because EVERMORE MUSE only has two members now, it’s unlikely they’ll debut soon, unless the entertainment company decides to debut Sunwoo and the second member, Yuju, as a duo instead. Sunwoo will also be competing on Universe Ticket, and if she debuts, she’ll be active in that group for the two and a half year run of the group. Good luck to her!

Ma Yuling is still part of SNH48’s Team SII. I’ll be honest, I find it hard to tell when certain songs are performed, but given that the AKB48 teams tend to perform just about every week in their respective theaters, I’m going to assume Yuling has been performing well!

Okazaki Momoko was once a touring member of BABYMETAL Avengers, but on April 1, 2023, she was named the third official member of BABYMETAL as MOMOMETAL! So far, she’s only been featured in one single: “THE ONE,” which was originally released in 2016. I kind of can’t wait to hear how that goes for her!

Rank 23 – Lee Rayeon, Chang Ching, Aratake Rinka

Lee Rayeon, part of the group Fanatics, was said to be gearing up for a comeback with the group back in Nov. 2022, but so far it seems like that hasn’t come to fruition. She’s fairly active on Instagram, and seems to be doing well!

Under the stage name Rona, Chang Ching has also been active with ILY:1 since their debut in April 2022. She opened a new Instagram account, though hasn’t posted yet on it. It seems like ILY:1’s activities as a group are going well, so I’m hoping for more good things for them!

Aratake Rinka is still listed as an influencer under AVEX Management, and I still don’t know what being an influencer actually entails, haha. In the last year, she’s been active on her YouTube posting covers and vlogs, and has gained a lot more TikTok followers since last year (jumping from “almost 500 thousand” as I’d put it to 680 thousand followers). She’s not as active on Instagram, but she did put out her own song back in Jan. 2023 called “I Feel Good At Myself.” That was followed a month later by “Attitude.” Neither is really the kind of music I would personally listen to, but I can still appreciate that the songs are pretty well mixed!

Rank 22 – Lee Yeongyung, Gu Yizhou, Ando Rinka

Lee Yeongyung is still an independent trainee, and hasn’t been on Instagram at all in the last year. She also has a YouTube channel, though it only has two videos from the last year. Wishing her well!

Gu Yizhou also competed on Great Dance Crew last year, though she was unfortunately eliminated before the end. She’s still under TOP Class Entertainment and is active on her socials. She looks happy!

Ando Rinka had debuted with the girl group Veil last year, but Veil unfortunately disbanded in April 2023, eight months after their debut. She is also still under AVEX Management. Despite this, she’s also still active on Instagram, X (Twitter) and TikTok. She posts a lot of dance covers on Instagram and TikTok; she really is talented!

Rank 21 – Sim Seungeun, Xu Ruowei, Hiyajo Nagomi

As I updated last year’s article, Sim Seungeun’s group BVNDIT unfortunately disbanded at the end of Oct. 2022. I do have a good few updates on her, though! Starting broadcast in Jan. 2023 was the virtual survival show GIRL’S RE:VERSE, which used virtual characters as the contestants. One of the characters, Zzaru, was later revealed to be Seungeun. Unfortunately, Zzaru did not make it to the debut group FE:VERSE. Also as of this year, Seungeun has been attending Dongduk Women’s University in the Department of Theatre Arts. She has also left MNH Entertainment and is incredibly active on the Instagram she opened a year ago.

Xu Ruowei is still under Yue Hua Entertainment, though she still isn’t affiliated with any of the groups. It looks like she started studies at Tsinghua University this year, which is really exciting! Wishing her luck!

Hiyajo Nagomi doesn’t seem to be as active as she was a year ago online, including TikTok. She’s still listed as being under NiD Academy, and it seems like she’s part of their dance team NEXTinDANCE. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure how to tell for sure, but if she is, I hope she’s having fun!

Rank 20 – Kim Sein, Liang Qiao, Hayashi Fuko

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any information about Kim Sein when I looked.

Liang Qiao has still been an active member of GNZ48’s Team Z. I don’t know the most about how the AKB48 teams go, but here’s more information about her. It’s really funny that I just looked her up recently, since it looks like she and her sister just started a YouTube channel together Sept. 19, 2023. Unfortunately for me, the video doesn’t have subtitles, but it looks like they’re having a great time!

Like last year, I couldn’t find anything on Hayashi Fuko other than that she’s still under BRIDGE JAPAN, Inc.

Rank 19 – You Dayeon, Xia Yan, Ito Miyu

This is funny, because I had You Dayeon’s section written out for weeks, then BAM! New information! The former member of LIPBUBBLE is currently signed under Dot Music. Last year there was speculation on her Instagram that she would debut soon; and now, she made her solo debut on Oct. 20 with “Down Down Down.” Her YouTube account has been cleared out, with only one video from early 2023 still up. It looks like the account she made for her cat on Instagram was deleted, but her art blog can still be found!

Xia Yan looks to no longer be under Real Show Culture Company. She’s not the most active on social media, and unfortunately it looks like the Instagram post she made of a song she wrote herself has been taken down since last year. I hope all goes well for her!

Since last year’s article, Ito Miyu has debuted with LIMELIGHT with the stage name MiU! The group has had their debut EP and a single album so far. They seem to be doing pretty well, so I’m looking forward to their future—especially for some reasons I’ll elaborate further later on…

Rank 18 – Lee Chaeyun, Leung Cheukying, Hayase Hana

So this is exciting—from Lee Chaeyun’s Instagram, it looks like she’s acting in a drama called Arthdal ​​Chronicles 2, which is a fantasy series. From what I can tell, it’s in production now, so I’ll be on the lookout for her episodes for sure. She’s still been sharing vlogs on her YouTube account as well.

I can’t really find much about Leung Cheukying outside of her Instagram and YouTube, both of which I linked last year, but she looks happy!

Hayase Hana has been doing well with ILY:1! I didn’t get to note it before, but they’ll actually have a new single coming out on Oct. 24! I’ll be looking forward to that, of course!

Rank 17 – Choi Yeyoung, Wu Tammy, Fujimoto Ayaka

Choi Yeyoung is still under BlockBerry Creative, including the trainee group Bebez. Bebez is said to debut sometime in 2023, however it’s unknown if this will actually happen since there are still four “unrevealed” members besides Yeyoung and Ryu Sion, alongside everything else going on with BlockBerry Creative.

Although it looks like her TikTok was deleted, Wu Tammy is still active on Instagram. As best I can tell, she’s still part of I Love Dance. Hope everything’s going well for her!

Fujimoto Ayaka is actually competing on the newest installation in the Produce series, which is Produce 101 Japan The Girls. The episodes of this will be available on YouTube with English subtitles every Monday until the season ends. I probably won’t be following very closely, but I’m wishing her luck!

Rank 16 – Huh Jiwon, Chiayi, Shima Moka

Huh Jiwon, one of the members of Cherry Bullet, recently competed on the show Queendom Puzzle. Unfortunately, she was eliminated before the finals. Still, she made it fairly far!

There isn’t that much to say about Chiayi and FANATICS, unfortunately.

Although I couldn’t find much, Shima Moka is active on both Instagram and TikTok.

Rank 15 – Kim Hyerim, Hsu Nientzu, Arai Risako

Kim Hyerim made her solo debut last year with Your World, and I’m so so happy that she has since released more singles! I haven’t listened to them yet, but I loved her debut, so I’m very excited to eventually get around to listening to them! She can also be found on Twitter, TikTok and YouTube.

While last year I couldn’t find anything about Hsu Nientzu, I can definitely say more now! She has debuted with the group tripleS and its subunit LOVElution, which debuted August 17, 2023, under the stage name Nien. She’s currently under MODHAUS, who just signed five former members of LOONA: Haseul, Heejin, Jinsoul, Kim Lip, and Choerry.

Arai Risako hasn’t really been active on her YouTube, but she’s been active on her Instagram! She looks good!

Rank 14 – Lee Hyewon, Zhang Luofei, Sakamoto Shihona

Lee Hyewon hasn’t been very active on social media, but she’s still signed under BEATMEDIA Entertainment, and it looks like she recently graduated high school! Good for her!

Zhang Luofei hasn’t been super busy on her YouTube or Instagram, but she’s been studying at Berklee College!

Sakamoto Shihona has recently signed under HoriPro International, and if I’m following correctly, she’s going to be a voice actress! She can also be found on Twitter and TikTok.

Rank 13 – An Jeongmin, Wang Yale, Yamauchi Moana

An Jeongmin made her solo debut under the name JEOMi in June 2023! Her debut, “Rainy Day,” is amazing, and I highly recommend checking it out! She also wrote and composed it herself. She can be found on Twitter as well as an official Instagram as JEOMi.

Wang Yale is still under Jaywalk Newjoy, and looks to have opened an Instagram recently. According to her Instagram, she’s now a student at Hong Kong Baptist University! Wishing her luck on exams.

Yamauchi Moana is still under NiD Academy, and is also studying at Berklee College! She can also be found on YouTube.

Rank 12 – Jeong Jiyoon, Yang Zige, Kuwahara Ayana

Jeong Jiyoon joined the girl group ICHILLIN’ in Nov. 2022, and has been with them ever since! They had three separate releases this year alone, and she fits in well with them!

Yang Zige looks to still be under Yue Hua Entertainment, and is still active on her YouTube. Looks like she got to perform onstage recently!

Kuwahara Ayana is still a trainee under NiD Academy. She was the youngest contestant on Girls Planet 999, and she’ll be turning 17 this year! Time flies, haha.

Rank 11 – Yoon Jia, Li Yiman, Sakurai Miu

Yoon Jia debuted with mimiirose last year, and I really love the group’s music! I’m always looking forward to more from her and her group. She can also be found on YouTube!

I mentioned this last year, but in April 2022, Li Yiman made her acting debut in a movie called Piggy Back! She looks to be doing well, and can also be found on YouTube.

Sakurai Miu is actually going to be on another survival show! Or, by the time this article comes out, the show will have already started—the first episode of Produce 101 Japan The Girls comes out on Oct. 5, 2023. I’ve heard about a fair few issues with the Produce series, but I’ll leave y’all to draw your conclusions. I probably won’t watch closely myself, but I’ll be looking forward to see if she makes it to debut!

Rank 10 – Kim Doah, Liang Jiao, Kubo Reina

I’m not sure how I didn’t note this before, but there’s some negative speculation about FANATICS. Kim Doah has apparently removed FENT from her socials, and is currently not listed under any company. With that said, FANATICS is said to not be disbanded, and Doah made her solo debut in May 2023 with the single “Dream Walking.” She can also be found on Twitter, TikTok and YouTube.

Liang Jiao is also still active as part of GNZ48’s Team G. Because I’m not great with how AKB48 teams work, here is more information about her. She and Qiao are both active on their shared Instagram. I’m wishing good things for both of them in the future!

Kubo Reina can be found on both Instagram and YouTube, but I don’t think there’s been much going on with her in terms of the entertainment industry. Which is fine, of course! I can’t wait to eventually see more from her! It does look like she got the opportunity to reunite with her old groupmates from Prizmmy☆ recently, and posted something very heartwarming about it!

Rank 9 – Kim Bora, Xu Ziyin, Kamimoto Kotone

Kim Bora, also from Cherry Bullet, was another contestant on Queendom Puzzle. She was also unfortunately eliminated before the finals, but it’s really interesting that this was her fourth survival show, as she had also competed on GIRLS RE:VERSE earlier this year as well. I feel kind of bad that she hasn’t made it to the end in any of the shows, since she really is very talented.

It doesn’t look like Xu Ziyin has had any more music released in the last year, but I hope she does soon!

Kamimoto Kotone joined the group tripleS in January of this year! Additionally, she’s part of the subunit EVOLution. I really loved her in Girls Planet 999 and still think she should’ve debuted in Kep1er, but I’m glad she’s getting her chance to shine!

Rank 8 – Guinn Myah, Cai yuBing, May

Guinn Myah is still listed as a trainee under TOP Media. I couldn’t find much else on her, but I can’t believe she’s 17 this year! They grow up so fast, haha.

Cai Yubing (she’s changed her name) is still part of KSGIRLS, and competed on Great Dance Crew last year. I don’t think she made it to the end, unfortunately.

May hasn’t had other activities like some of the other Cherry Bullet members, so here’s Cherry Bullet’s general update! They released a mini album in March called Cherry Dash. I haven’t listened to it, but apparently it set the group’s record for first-day and first-week sales!

Rank 7 – Kim Suyeon, Zhou Xinyu, Kishida Ririka

Kim Suyeon is still part of Billlie under the stage name Sheon. Billlie’s been doing pretty well this year, and will have a single album coming out tomorrow, actually!

Along with Kotone, Zhou Xinyu has joined the group tripleS, as well as its subunit LOVElution. tripleS isn’t my favorite group, but I’ll always support Xinyu and Kotone!

Kishida Ririka is the last of these contestants who’s part of ILY:1. Still can’t wait for their next release!

Rank 6 – Kang Yeseo, Chen Hsinwei, Nagai Manami

Normally I wouldn’t say much about the members of Kep1er, but I actually do have an update about Yeseo. After her contract is up with Kep1er in 2024, she’ll be joining LIMELIGHT! Recently, though, before Kep1er’s most recent comeback, Yeseo was stated to be taking a break due to poor health. I hope she’s feeling better.

Chen Hsinwei has apparently left Yue Hua Entertainment and the now-disbanded pre-debut group Daylight. She looks like she’s been doing well, though!

It’s a little hard to tell what’s happening with Nagai Manami, only because it was reported that she was part of KISS Entertainment’s pre-debut group KISS GIRL’S, but she hasn’t been in social media posts with them in a while, leading some to believe she’s left. She can also be found on YouTube, though she hasn’t posted any videos.

Rank 5 – Seo Youngeun, Huang Xingqiao, Ikema Ruan

Nothing has been said yet about Youngeun’s future after Kep1er.

Huang Xingqiao is still under Origin Music International. She’d debuted as a soloist back in 2017, but I don’t think she’s released any music this year. She looks like she’s doing well!

Ikema Ruan, who’s under KISS Entertainment, is currently in the pre-debut group KISS GIRL’S as well! I can’t wait to see her debut! She can also be found on Twitter.

Rank 4 – Kim Dayeon, Wen Zhe, Nonaka Shana

Nothing has been said yet about Dayeon’s future after Kep1er.

Wen Zhe is still the main rapper of Hickey, though it doesn’t look like they’ve had a release since 2021. She looks like she’s doing well!

Nonaka Shana is still slaying as part of Lapillus! I’m very excited for what else the group has in store for us!

Rank 3 – Choi Yujin, Su Ruiqi, Kawaguchi Yurina

Nothing has been said yet about Yujin’s future after Kep1er.

Su Ruiqi’s group Chic Chili has allegedly disbanded back in 2021, as they have not been active since. She seems to be doing well, though, and can also be found on Twitter.

Kawaguchi Yurina had her solo debut in 2022 with “Look At Me,” and has since put out several other singles, which can be found on her YouTube! I’m glad her career’s been going well! She can also be found on Twitter and TikTok.

Rank 2 – Huening Bahiyyih, Fu Yaning, Sakamoto Mashiro

Nothing has been said yet about Bahiyyih’s future after Kep1er. However, in other news, she graduated from the Lila Art High School in Feb. 2023!

Fu Yaning had debuted as a soloist in April 2022, but I don’t think she’s released any music since. It looks like she’s doing well, as evidenced by her Instagram and her YouTube!

Along with Yeseo, Mashiro will also be joining LIMELIGHT after Kep1er’s eventual disbandment.

Rank 1 – Kim Chaehyun, Shen Xiaoting, Ezaki Hikaru

Nothing has been said yet about Chaehyun’s future after Kep1er. I didn’t note this last time, but from 2022 to 2023, she was one of the MCs for SBS’s The Show.

Nothing has been said yet about Xiaoting’s future after Kep1er.

Technically, nothing has been said yet about Hikaru’s future after Kep1er. I thought I saw once that she would be joining XG, but I can’t find that information anymore.

And that’s that!

In the last two years, 27 of the 99 contestants have debuted in groups or solo! Additionally, as of now, there are around 38 total contestants of the 99 who are active in groups or solo in some capacity. I’m so proud of all of them, and I can’t wait to see what’s in the future for all of them!

This was a headache to format. I hope you enjoy it.
