 Since the result of the final episode became the talk of the town because it was very unexpected, I roughly calculated the number of votes each trainee received based on the information that was published by Girls Planet 999. It's just an estimation and speculation, so I hope you won't take this too seriously. Just like what I said, this is only an 'estimation'.

You can see the points and votes each trainee received in the picture above.
However, the number of votes they got each from Korea and Global was not disclosed. 

In Girls Planet 999, weights were applied to differentiate the value of one vote between the Korean and global votes. The total votes resulted from 50% Korean votes and 50% Global votes, which means 1 vote from Korea is worth more than from Global. In order to calculate the total votes, we need to measure the weight first. 

Below is the information from the 3rd elimination. If you calculate the votes from each region and the final votes, you can see that the Korean votes weigh 10 more. 

Judging from this, you can see that the rule of 50% Korean votes + 50% Global votes only applies when the weight of x10 is applied to the Korean votes. This might've been applied during the live voting because of the small number of Korean votes during the live show. 

Fortunately, the votes of the trainees during the final episode were disclosed so I could roughly calculate them. All the points added were 11,386,572 and the votes added were 5,587,478. Assume the weight of the Korean votes is 11.20 and the Global votes is 1.12. 

Based on that formula, this is the estimation of the votes each trainee received.


If we sort them based on their Korean votes:

If we sort them based on their Global votes:

Those who got in Top9 in both Korean and Global votes sorting are the ones who are absolutely debut. Below, I highlight their names in Yellow.

From this table, you can conclude:
1. Kim Chaehyun, Huening Bahiyyih, Choi Yujin, Seo Youngeung, and Ezaki Hikaru will absolutely debut regardless of the weight of the Korean and Global votes. 
2. If the voting was only held in Korea, Ezaki Hikaru would be the only foreigner in the final lineup. 
3. If only Korean votes count, Kim Sooyeon and Guinn Myah would get to debut while Sakamoto Mashiro and Shen Xiatoing would not.
4. If only Global votes count, Su Rui Qi and Fu Yaning would get to debut while Kim Dayeon and Kang Yeseo would not. 

Regardless of all the talk, congratulations to all the trainees who made it to the final lineup and get to debut as Kep1er. I also wish all the eliminated trainees good luck, I hope to see you guys performing on stage through another great opportunity.

-Do you major in statistics?? You're so smartㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Seems like Myah didn't receive many Global votes. What a shameㅠㅠ

-Oh Gosh... Bahiyyih is really popular among international fans...

-Great job, OP!ㅎㅎ Thank you so much for this post

-Guinn Myah ranked quite high according to the Korean votes...

-How did you manage to get all of these calculations...

-Guinn Myahㅠㅠㅠㅠ I can't believe she didn't make it to the final lineupㅠㅠㅠ

-The lineup is quite nice because there are more Korean trainees than I had expected.

-Bahiyyih received a lot of votes from Korean as well...

-I knew that Chaehyun, Dayeon, and Yujin would get a lot of Korean votes...

-Is that Choi Yujin the same person as that adorable girl from CLC?

-It's such a pity that Guinn Myah didn't make it... She's very adorable and charming, not to mention that she's also talented.

-Bahiyyih got a lot of votes both from Korea and Global. I don't understand why people are hating on her. 

The estimated Korean:Global votes in Girls Planet 999 Final Episode

 I think it's been long since the last time Shin Minah's drama did this well. But because of the controversy of her co-star, Kim Seonho, it became ambiguous for her to talk about the filming of the drama. They had great chemistry that they could be nominated as The Best Couple in the year-end award ceremonies, though.


pann
[+1,818-][-65]

1. [+791][-5] Hasn't it been long since her drama did well like My Girlfriend is Gumiho?

2. [+614][-4] I heard all of the interviews plans got cancelledㅠㅠ I feel bad for her...

3. [+592][-16] Our rom-com queen Shin Minah just found the perfect drama for her, though... Somebody just had to ruin it for herㅠㅠ

4. [+204][-0] Regardless the fact that Hometown Cha Cha Cha did well or not. Shin Minah is harmed because of the controversy.

5. [+187][-3] I don't pity her but I have to admit that it's really bad timing...

6. [+179][-2] Besides Hometown Cha Cha Cha, her other drama had fairly good ratings as well. But it's true that it has been long since her drama became a hot issue like My Girlfriend is Gumiho.

7. [+159][-0] I feel bad more for the other co-stars rather than Shin Minah. They could've shone brighter, thoughㅠㅠㅠ

8. [+87][-0] Just imagine how annoyed the director must be?? Tomorrow With You, Abyss, Hi Bye Mama. His work flopped 3 times in a row, and now Hometown Cha Cha Cha becomes a dark history for him. 

9. [+78][-1] Why would you feel bad for Shin Minah? She has always been a top star. Losing the light of this drama won't affect her, she can do other drama any time she wants. Nothing will change just because she couldn't do a few interviews. It's the other co-stars. They just finally met the drama that made their careers, they should've been getting interviews offers at this point if it wasn't for him...

10. [+61][-2] Shin Minah looks very gorgeous in this drama. I understand why people call her lovely now. She is indeed very lovely.

Am I the only one who feels bad for Shin Minah?

On Stage:

-She looks exactly like her brother

-She must've had advantages because her brother is famous

-Hiyyih, congratulations on your debut!!

-The hate comments are so crazy... She can literally sue all these people, it's that bad. 

-Now that she's going to debut, they're going to find the perfect style and take care of her. Why are you guys acting like that??

-I hope she'll change her eyebrows shape. She's beautiful but her eyebrows shape somehow don't suit her face.

-She's still relatively young and yet people are judging her for her looks, it must be hard for her. I feel bad for her. 

-She looks like a copy of her brother. Anyone could tell they're siblings.

-There's another half-Korean trainee who caught my attention too, Guinn Myah. It's such a pity she didn't make it.

-Can someone please fix her straight eyebrows... It looks so frustratingㅠㅠㅠ

-I hope those who vote for her because of her brother would actually stan her. Don't just vote her because she's someone's sister and then neglects her once she debuts.

-I'm really looking forward to her...

-Seems like the family has great genes. She looks adorable.

-I think she looks beautiful...

-It's such a relief that the talented girls got to debut, Seo Youngeun and Kim Dayeonㅠㅠ

-So they have 1 Chinese member and 2 Japanese members?

-I have to admit that Shen Xiaoting is gorgeous but her visual doesn't match the group's vibesㅠ

-Hul... It's such a pity that Bora didn't make itㅠㅠ

-Kang Yeseo?? She looks like an actress...

-In the end, the majority of the debuting trainees are Korean...

-How long are they going to promote as a group?

-Do they have the majority of Korean members because the live voting was only open for Koreans?

-Su Rui Qi didn't make it?? She has the strongest core of them all so I thought she was absolutely going to debut...

-The second girl's name doesn't sound like Korean but she's in K Group. Is she mixed?

-I couldn't understand why Hikaru was in Top 9 before, but the more I look at her, the more I understand why. I have grown affectionate towards her.

Kep because they kept their dream come true and 1 because they unite as one to become the best

-Are they going to name their fandom's Johannes then?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They should've just used a planet's name instead of a scientist's...

-Honestly, I think it's a bad name...

-The name reminds me of Johannes Keplerㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-CJ Ent. seems to can't let go of that damned '1' in their idol's group name...

-Yeah, it's a bad name. But let's be honest, there's a lot of worst idol group names out there...

-Whoa, it's a really bad name. It gives off 'Ahjussi' vibes...

-I have never seen any idol groups who received positive responses from the public when they were first revealed, so...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Who designed the logo?? Even undergraduate students wouldn't design as bad as that...

-That damned '1', though...

-I think everyone already speaks on my behalf regarding the group's name, but the logo...? It's another level...

-They can't do any better than this????

-The name sounds quite okay but what the f*ck is up with the logo?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... Yurina ranks #14??? That doesn't make sense...

-Does it make sense to you that Yurina is on 14th??

-Bora-ya, you've worked hard...

-How could Yurina rank #14?...

-Myah, Yurina... I can't let you girls go just like thatㅠㅠㅠ

-It's such a pity that Bora didn't make it. She's the best singer out of them all. I really expected her to debut, but she didn't make itㅠㅠ

-It breaks my heart to see Yurina's rankㅠㅠ

-It's really unexpected for Yurina to rank #14. She had ranked #1 in some of the episodes, so I definitely expected her to rank higher than #14...

-I didn't expect the debut lineup to include so many Korean members because the #1 has always been the Chinese trainee...

-Bora-ya...ㅠㅠ I'll be rooting for you as Cherry Bullet's memberㅠㅠ

-I don't watch this program but I thought Yurina would absolutely make it...

-Shana, please debut in South Koreaㅠㅠㅠ

-I wouldn't say a thing if they decided to include Yurina right now, even after the show ended.

-Hul... I remember thinking, 'She's absolutely going to debut', when I first saw Sooyeonㅠㅠ

Youtuber DanceKang siblings reveal their monthly earning. The episode of Yoo Quiz on The Block that aired on the 20th was guested by Youtubers who have been gaining fame for their idol dance covers, Lee Kangbin (DanceKang) and Lee Seulbin (Jinjeolme). 

Lee Kangbin first gained fame after uploading his dance cover of Aespa's Black Mamba on Tiktok. After that, P-Nation's CEO, Psy, reached out to him to make a collaboration video after seeing his dance cover of Hyuna's I'm Not Cool. Since then, they have been receiving a lot of love calls and gained attention from other idol groups such as ITZY, Monsta X, Fromis9, STAYC, etc. These idols visited the siblings' house and also filmed their behind the scene video. 

When asked, Lee Kangbin reveals, 'We don't get fee because of the copyright of the music we put in our videos. Our earnings are very small, but we recently get to meet celebrities and even film behind the scene videos with them. We earn 1.5M KRW monthly.' Lee Seulbin adds, 'The earnings of our individual channels are for us individually. For the sibling channel, we divide the earning by 5:5. For the advertisement I helped him to shoot, we divide it by 1:9.' The siblings also proudly reveal that they helped pay off their mother's debt. Lee Seulbin comments, 'We almost paid all of them'

-I really like this sibling...

-I mean, they practically help the idols to promote their songs. I think they deserve more than thatㅠㅠㅠ

-Only 1.5M KRW monthly...???ㅠㅠㅠ

-I think that amount is too little for the impact they give. They're practically promoting the songs.

-They help a lot in promoting the songs. Seems like the idols' agencies don't give them money at all...

-Seems like they don't get paid by the agencies...? They're practically promoting the songs, though...

-Does that mean they don't get paid at all by the agencies? Even when they make collaboration videos with the idols...?

-They're saying that's the amount they get from the dance cover videos. They also get paid for the advertisements they do~~

-I think what they meant by 1.5M KRW is the amount of money they get from their Youtube views!! They didn't mention about the amount of money they got from the advertisement~

-Hul. 1.5M KRW...? Seems like people who do dance covers on Youtube really don't earn a lot...

-I had no idea they were siblings...

 Ma Yuling's statement during her live stream on a social media platform becomes a hot topic, in which she says, 'During the filming, the Korean staffs discriminated the Chinese trainees'. She explains, 'We (Chinese trainees) gathered together and cried. Fortunately, we united and helped each other to get through this. The Korean staff has made me so angry that I almost exploded. Out of hundreds of staff during the filming, only two of them are kind to us'. 

However, one of the staff of Girls Planet 999 denied and states, 'Her statement was one-sided. Honestly, from the point of view of the staff, the Chinese trainees often neglected their training until it ruins the whole atmosphere. Sometimes, they also request something that made us taken aback. However, we always accepted their request and tried our best to not make them upset. I can't say this on behalf of all of the trainees, but it's what happened to the Chinese trainees I've worked with'. 

On the 21st, regarding Girls Planet 999 staff's statement, Ma Yuling states, 'That is not true at all. Girls Planet is a program designed as a global project from the very beginning. The staff has tried their best to create an equal environment so that the trainees from different countries could do their best to show their talent.'

-The Chinese trainees should just debut in Chinese programs as Chinese idols...

-Do you believe her??

-I can't bring myself to believe her...

-Go back to your country then...

-Then why did you come here? Just go back to your countryㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Chinese people can't be trusted...

-Then she should've just auditioned for survival programs in China. Why bother coming to South Korea?

-I don't know... I can't believe what Chinese people say...

-Why do these Chinese trainees want to debut in South Korea so bad... Just go back to your country...

-She hasn't debuted and yet she already acts like this. Can you imagine how it'd be if she debuted?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why create this kind of show in the first place...

-Well, who asked you to participate in the show any way?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Trash bringing trash in to create another trash...

Girls Planet 999 endless controversies. Chinese trainee reveals, 'The Korean staffs discriminate us'.
