Notes

  1. At the end of the elimination show on episode 4, the eliminated students were given the option to be trained separately in the "Careers Club/Normal Class" with the same teachers which may give them the chance to debut in the future. Initially, the students accepted, but all declined the offer to return later as some of those students were already approached by different entertainment companies.[22]
  2. All rankings are listed after all cards' effects are taken into account.
  3. *Lee Young-yoo and Kim Eun-kyul were in different classes, but as their remaining classmates were eliminated after episode 4, so they were reassigned. Of the eliminated students, Intermediate Vocal Class was wiped out altogether. The speculated classes were not revealed on the show.
  4. As the lowest score by a substantial margin, the individual scores and rankings for Catallena Team was not disclosed.
  5. In episode 10, the top 18 were not revealed, only the bottom 9 that were eliminated were revealed.
