As the show has progressed, viewers of “R U Next?” have grown attached to all of the show’s contestants. Unfortunately, as time goes on, more and more trainees are eliminated.
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.
funa is the hardest elimination for me I definitely can’t take another heartbreak like this
