Since the votes are reset, the votes are now up for grabs for anyone. Position Evaluation really changes up the lineup and introduces us to mid-game dark horses that are integral to the storyline of the show and the formation of the line-up as a whole, we see the pattern of someone taking a fall from grace and one rising from the ashes. We already saw that with Daeul and Krystian in the first round but the second round could introduce us to much bigger players.

The PD series have the same pattern if we look at it:

• Produce 101 had Chungha rising to replace Kim Nayoung who dropped from 10 spots, ultimately not debuting.
• Season 2 of Produce had Guanlin falling and Woojin/Sungwoon being the dark horses in the end rising at this stage.
• Produce 48 where we saw the rise of Miho/Miu in the ranks (though none debuted) and the fall of Yunjin/Yiren from the lineup.
• Produce X 101 with the arrival of Seungyeon in the Top 10, as well as Jungmo's eventual fall AND Jinwoo's fall from 8 to 22 (both were eventually found rigged out).
• Girls Planet 999 provided us with an accurate fall of Cai Bing and the eventual rise of Dayeon and Shana.

In Boys Planet, I personally think Woongki will start to rise in the rankings even though they started out so low but the eventual edit they had being the lovable public figure Feel Special fiasco and carrying the team leading to an injustice loss, I think Woongki might rise up until the finals. For someone who will drop: probably Keita (which hurts for me to say) due to his low Korean votes but I can see him picking up some votes to stay in the finale, but he needs to at least get more attention and a better edit rather than being a good leader or else he will STARVE in the votes.

With those trends of ranking drops and rise AFTER the results of the second-ranking announcement and with the dawn of the concept evaluations, which trainees do you think will come out as dark horses and rise from the rankings, even if they are not in the Top 9?
