Eliminated in this episode: #31: Go Yujin left BBC pretty soon after the show (good) and joined 8D Creative (OnlyOneOf and Hyewon's company). She was rumored to eventually debut with Hyewon but that never happened and she also ended up leaving 8D, giving up on the idol career. She started her Youtube channel in 2020: https://www.youtube.com/@meeowyu In 2022 she changed her name to Ko Liha and in 2023 she started to work as a DJ. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/me_ow_yu #32: Son Eunchae joined Choyeon at A Team Entertainment and debuted as the main rapper and main dancer of bugAboo in 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU7ZmbUs9Zo Unfortuntely, while Ryan Jhun is a pretty good producer, he's an absolutely shit Kpop company CEO and so his first and only group only ever got one comeback before they disbanded out of nowhere. Apparently she signed a contract with Carrie TV in 2023 but who or what that is and what this means, I have no idea. Eunchae is not very active on Instagram these days either: https://www.instagram.com/smile_unchae #33: Chiba Erii returned to AKB48 where she continues to be active to this day. More importantly, she was part of the song Wakariyasukute Gomen (rough trans: “Sorry for being so obvious”), which only featured AKB idols that participated in Produce 48: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsyO622SAfI In 2019 Erii also participated in the reality shot UHSN (유학소녀, meaning Study Abroad Girl) where 10 girls from different countries got to experience the Kpop idol life for a few weeks. They released one song called Popsicle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_dqiyxZO_Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eriierii_1027 #34: Kojima Mako returned to AKB48 until her graduation in May 2019. Before that she also participated in the song Wakariyasukute Gomen. After graduating she launched her own fashion brand called Haluhiroine: https://www.instagram.com/haluhiroine_official Parallel to that she also started a Youtube channel for beauty and fashion content: https://www.youtube.com/@makochannel7283 She got married to Japanese actor Kido Yuya in January. Her personal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makochan_2525 #35: Yoon Haesol became a member of AQUA together with Yu Sua and Kim Sihyeon (not the Everglow one) from PD101 S1. They only released one song called Log In: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r9DqkWrBlY Her current whereabouts are unknown as she hasn't updated her Instagram since 2019: https://www.instagram.com/yoonhaesol_ #36: Bae Eunyoung's current status is unknown. #37: Nakanishi Chiyori returned to AKB48 until her graduation in August 2023. She also participated in the song Wakariyasukute Gomen. These days she's active as a Youtuber: https://www.youtube.com/@chiyocyannel Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sukiyaki_daisuki512 #38: Muto Tomu returned to AKB48 until her graduation in March 2023. And you could probably guess it, she was also on Wakariyasukute Gomen. Next to her idol activities, she is also a certified weather presenter. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tommuto_official #39: Sato Minami returned to AKB48 but has recently announced her graduation and will be holding her final performance on July 1st. Of course she was on Wakariyasukute Gomen. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sato_minami16th #40: Iwatate Saho returned to AKB48 where she continues to be active to this day. Between May 2019 and April 2022 she was also Captain of Team B. Wakariyasukute Gomen. Next to her idol activities she's also studying Political Studies at Chuo University. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saho_iwatate104 #41: Yamada Noe returned to NGT48 until her graduation in February 2022. Even though she wasn't technically in AKB48 directly, she also participated in Wakariyasukute Gomen. So, it pains me to say this because Noe was really funny and likable on this show but in truth, she might not have been a really good person at all. You might remember that under episode 5 I talked about the case of the assault of Yamaguchi Maho. According to one source, Noe was one of the people who encouraged the attack. She was also accused of bullying within the group and bullying Maho especially. I can't 100% confirm these claims but I still thought I should at least mention it. Noe has also completely left the entertainment industry after her graduation, though she still posts on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/noe.1007 #42: Asai Nanami returned to AKB48 until her graduation this past January. Between April 2022 and October 2023 she also acted as Captain of Team B, being the direct successor of Iwatate Saho. Nanami was also the last ever Captain of Team B as the individual teams were dissolved afterwards and the members consolidated under the general AKB48 umbrella. Nanami was also part of the “AKB48 Regular Members” until her graduation. Oh yeah, and before I forget, of course she was on the Wakariyasukute Gomen song as well. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naamin48_ #43: Kim Sohee made her debut in August 2019 as a member of Rocket Punch with the debut single Bim Bam Bum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0306kjwhO-8 You probably already know the other two RCPC members that competed on PD48 but we'll get to them soon. Sohee is actually the only member of the group to not have her own Instagram account. #44: Kim Minseo graduated from Suwon Science Academy and is seemingly no longer pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. #45: Murakawa Vivian (or Bibian as she actually seems to call herself) returned to HKT48 until her graduation in November 2022. She also joined the AKB song Wakariyasukute Gomen. In March 2023 she redebuted in a new Jpop group called Candy Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYzZdo3s1Ww Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/murakawabibiann #46: Kim Hyunah is now working as a DJ: https://www.instagram.com/hyunah__95 #47: Kim Suyun made her debut as a member of Rocket Punch together with Kim Sohee. Which gives me the chance to promote one more song from them, so here's Bouncy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqggrSpICM0 And as you know, last year Suyun was one of the members who also participated in Queendom Puzzle (she ALMOST made it into EL7Z UP, she got 8th place). Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suyxnun #48: Lee Haeun has left MNH some time around 2021. I'm not sure if she's still pursuing an idol career. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i_ha.eun #49: Aramaki Misaki returned to HKT48 where she continues to be active to this day. Also participated in Wakariyasukute Gomen. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirun.jellyfish.0128 #50: Kim Choyeon made her debut as the leader of bugAboo, together with Son Eunchae. And yeah like I said, they only ever got one comeback before they were disbanded for no good reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpe00DHN3r4 They could have been so great... Choyeon apparently also signed that same contract with Carrie TV, just like Eunchae but again, no idea what that entails. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimchoyeon.official #51: Lee Yujeong joined Cube Entertainment and made her debut in June 2021 as a member of LIGHTSUM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d74cH816kFQ But we all know how shit Cube is and they've really not been doing much with Lightsum over the past few years. I mean, a grand total of 15 songs in three years? Come on now. #52: Motomura Aoi returned to HKT48 until her graduation in July 2023. Between April 2017 and February 2023 she also acted as Captain of Team KIV. Like all the Japanese contestants eliminated in this episode, she was on Wakariyasukute Gomen as well. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aoi0531.m #53: Park Minji made it one round further than on season 1 but was still eliminated. She made her debut when she was added to SECRET NUMBER for their second comeback Fire Saturday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2anE5ekyQKY #54: Yu Minyoung is working as a freelance model: https://www.instagram.com/zeroiit #55: Park Seoyoung made her debut as an indie soloist in 2020 under the stage name ROYA: https://www.youtube.com/@Rare_and_Odd_Young_Asian-girl She doesn't have any music videos though, it's all just audio. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/royapark #56: Wang Ke debuted in the independent Chinese girl group AIM in October 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlJlb6Hk_90 She also competed in this year's Chuang Asia: Thailand, which is sort of the Thai version of Produce. She finished in 6th place and will be debuting as a member of Gen1es later this year. This group is expected to promote for three years. They already released a pre-debut song called Lucky Bell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeHxCEqPkck Wang Ke's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wangke0_ #57: Cho Gahyeon has left Starship and is now working as a dancer and dance instructor. She's been a backup dancer for NCT on several different occasions. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xgxh.27 left the show: Matsui Jurina's health problems were probably quite serious because not only did she leave the show, she went on a full hiatus for two months. She finally returned on September 6th with a suprise appearance at the SKE48 Theater. Jurina graduated from SKE48 in April 2021 with a big graduation concert at Nippon Gaishi Hall. However, due to the ongoing pandemic at the time, the venue was only filled to half capacity. She still continues to be a public figure on TV and is now also the playing manager (and a member) of KLP48, an all-new Malaysian sister group to AKB48. They were only announced on January 1st of this year and have yet to debut. Guess the almost 13 years in SKE48 were not quite enough for her after all :D Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jurinamatsui3

Correct me if I am wrong. It was been a while I could not recall 100%. I believed the vote method was changed from first time. first time every day you can vote for 3 girls but second time everyday only can vote for one girl, that made dramatically different resault.
