I think anyone can submit suggestions. It is a not a docomo account thing.

[DJChisato1]

I've been meaning to ask. Are they going to debut in Korea or Japan? Only asking to know if they are going to be competition for 2024 Best New Artist.

[Moh]

Since they're going to be under LAPONE, they'll debut in Japan, but they'll likely have appearances on music shows in Korea too.

It is announced that two of the trainees, Sakurai Miu and Sakuraba Haruka violated training camp rules of the audition. They both reached the limit of receiving 10 deduction points for breaking the camp rules. As a penalty, their fan camera videos from the group and position battles on the Produce 101 youtube channel will be suspended from 11/28~11/30.

They don't specifically say what rules they broke. Maybe waking up late too many times?

In "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS," 10 rules were set for the camp, including "being late for the meetings (3 points)," "forgetting to submit or losing items (3 points)," "damaging property (3 points)," "acting or speaking in a way that interferes with the program progress (5 points)," and "using SNS or bringing communication devices such as smartphones (10 points), and it was announced that "if the points deduction reaches 10 points, practice is prohibited at training camp" and the 'fan cameras' will be suspended.

Edit : They added what rules they broke, as to avoid being misunderstood by the overprotective fans of these trainees

In this audition, many trainees live together and compete with each other.

In order to improve the quality of life for all trainees, we have established rules from the past season.

As a penalty for Sakurai Miu and Sakuraba Haruka, their "Fan Cameras" for the Group Battle and Position Battle will be suspended.

<Decrease in points> Detail

- Sakurai Miu
3 points deducted for being late x 4 times = 12 points

- Sakuraba Haruka
3 points for being late x 3 times = 9 points
3 points for losing items x 1 time = 3 points

Details of the point reduction will be posted to avoid any misunderstanding.
Please do not slander us by speculation, etc.
Thank you for your understanding.
