    one thing i noticed, while it seems "fair" there is 3 Chinese, 3 Japanese and 3 Koreans in the Top 9.

    the Koreans ranking are at #4, #8 and #9 respectively.. so the 2 other Koreans are in a danger of being pushed out.

    it would be strange if a Final 9 group has less than 3 Korean members, considering the K-Group trainees were thinking since its a kpop group, K-Group has an advantage of the language and they are also more used to the k-pop training in Korea than say Chinese or japanese trainees.
