3rd place. Kim Sihyun

COMMENTS: A very good performance, but was anyone else shocked by the rapping performance of Yamada Noe? And it was not a short part either. Pretty cool! But the vocals and how they delivered towards the end was very good! In fact, if this was a group on it’s own, I’d buy their single! I really enjoyed it.
[UPDATE] Ep.6 Position Evaluation:
Don’t Know You – Heize team
1st place. Han Chowon
2nd place. Yoo Minyoung
3rd place. Kang Hyewon
4th place. Park Minji #PRODUCE48 #프로듀스48 #プロデュース48 pic.twitter.com/CwjgOwkIbh— PRODUCE48 Update! (@PRODUCE48UPDATE) July 20, 2018
COMMENTS: Wow! Vocally they were magnificent! Both Han Chowon and Yoo Minyoung were terrific but only one can make #1 and Han Chowon deserved it! While I think Park Minji should have gotten third, I applaud Kang Hyewon of getting out of her comfort zone and doing another rap. While it wasn’t a solid performance, it does show effort and a chance to take risks and improve from there. Perhaps that’s what the audience saw. But definitely keep your eyes on Han Chowon and also Yoo Minyoung!
[UPDATE] Ep.6 Position Evaluation:
Side To Side – Ariana Grande team
1st place. Shiroma Miru
2nd place. Jang Wonyoung
3rd place. Lee Kaeun
4th place. Wang Yireon
5th place. Lee Sian#PRODUCE48 #프로듀스48 #プロデュース48 pic.twitter.com/8QyhkX7wsk— PRODUCE48 Update! (@PRODUCE48UPDATE) July 20, 2018
COMMENT: This is a team with pure powerhouses…members in the top 12 competing against each other. I knew it would be an anything goes and that Jang Wonyoung or Lee Kaeun would be high in votes, but I did not expect NMB48’s Shiroma Miru to get #1. WOW! But solid dance performance!
[UPDATE] Ep.6 Position Evaluation:
Merry-Chri – Boa team
1st place. Park Haeyoon
2nd place. Yoon Haesol
3rd place. Kim Nayoung
4th place. Aramaki Misaki
5th place. Sato Minami
6th place. Kim Sohee#PRODUCE48 #프로듀스48 #プロデュース48 pic.twitter.com/To3HH2E0rs— PRODUCE48 Update! (@PRODUCE48UPDATE) July 20, 2018
COMMENT: WOW! The vocals were fantastic! Park Haeyoon, gave me goosebumps. It was that “awesome”! Solid performance by the entire team! Made me want to shed a tear with the others because it was that awesome! And these were people that were kicked out of the songs they wanted to do and put together as a team to sing Boa’s “Merry-Chri”. Great job! I think this is my favorite performance for episode 6! WOW!
[UPDATE] Ep.6 Position Evaluation:
Sorry Not Sorry – Demi Lovato team
1st place. Kwon Eunbi
2nd place. Ahn Yujin
3rd place. Lee Chaeyeon
4th place. Choi Yena
5th place. Go Yujin#PRODUCE48 #프로듀스48 #プロデュース48 pic.twitter.com/5uAV2sRTvW— PRODUCE48 Update! (@PRODUCE48UPDATE) July 20, 2018
COMMENT: With one powerhouse dance performance, you get another and I expected it would be Kwon Eunbi and Ahn Yujin on top and sure enough, I was right. Unfortunately, this group is an example of how competitive things are going to get. Go Yujin is a fine dancer but popularity-wise, she’s going against four others that who have developed an established fan-base. You could tell the disappointment on her face of being fifth. But Kwon Eunbi, she took on some major solo choreography for this performance and she nailed it!
And a trailer for episode 7. And with the episode 6 now over, more of the Position Evaluations will be featured next week. Teaser for next week’s episode 7 looks to be a not-so-good situation for a few AKB48G members, but it could also be editing as well. But we’ll see how things turn out!
It was revealed that AKB48’s Honda Hitomi is guaranteed 11th place at this time:
