PRODUCE 51 | Season 1 (END)

♚ 1st PLACER a.k.a CENTER ♚

Byun Baekhyun: "After 4 months of Produce 51, she has always been a center of attraction. 1st for Produce 51's Visual pick, 2nd for Produce 51's trainee you want to debut with, an Produce 51's center for Pick Me! And now, Produce 51's official center for the debuting girl group, with a total vote of 222,403!"

Byun Baekhyun: "Jellyfish's Im Younghee!"

Byun Baekhyun: "Im Younghee proved herself worthy of the title god Younghee ever since the beginning of Produce 51. She was the last trainee to enter, yet she managed to grab the first place during the first episode."

Byun Baekhyun: "She was graded F during their company evaluation, but with the regrading she managed to go straight up to the A grade, was a candidate for Pick Me's center, and was picked as Produce 51's first official center. For episode 2, she fell down to the 2nd place."

Byun Baekhyun: "For the group evaluation, Im Younghee performed Playing With Fire and was dubbed as the Avengers. However, they lost the battle and didn't receive the benefit votes. However, the lack of benefit votes didn't stop her from grabbing the 1st place during the first ranking ceremony."

Byun Baekhyun: "During the position evaluation, she picked the vocal position and performed Downpour by IOI. At the same time, Younghee was the first in her team. During episode 6, she was announced as 2nd place and was stripped off her first place label."

Byun Baekhyun: "However, she placed second for the vocal position, thus not receiving the benefit votes of 10,000. With that, she fell down to the 6th place during the second ranking ceremony."

Byun Baekhyun: "For the concept evaluation, she selected Girlish Pop genre and the song Fingertips. However, again she lost and was not able to receive the benefit votes. But, she managed to return to the highest rankers and ranked 3rd during the third ranking ceremony. And now, she will be debuting as the official center of the group that will be debuting! Let's hear your thoughts."

Im Younghee (1/Center): "Firstly I would love to thank Jellyfish staffs and managements for giving me to opportunity to join this program.
