Episode 8 saw three trainees, Funa, Seoyeon, and Hyewon, eliminated following the fifth round of the program. While large groups are common, the hopes that many trainees would debut together were dashed when it was announced that only six would make the final group.

This means that half of the twelve contestants remaining — Iroha, Jiwoo, Minju, Yunah, Yeongseo, Wonhee, Jeemin, Jeongeun, Chanelle, Moka, Jihyun, and Himena — will be eliminated.
