4th Global Vote

[edit]

The fourth voting period for the final episode took place from December 20 to December 17, 2024. The World Assemblers voted for their top one contestant. As we have known from the beginning of the show, 7 contestants will debut, and this decides it all. The top 7 contestant will debut, and the bottom 14 will be officially eliminated. During the Final Live, World Assemblers would get another chance to vote for their top contestant, and each vote cast would count for two votes towards the selected contestant. Alongside voting for one contestant, World Assemblers would also assemble their ideal debut group, selecting seven contestants as their ideal final lineup. During the final ceremony, the contestants ranks were revealed, starting from 6th down to 3rd, then 1st and 2nd, and then finally the 7th and final member. Color Key
