The long-awaited finale of “Boys Planet” has ended.

The male version of the 2021 audition show “Girls Planet 999” that gave rise to the girl group Kep1er, “Boys Planet” began with 98 trainees and ended with 18 trainees in the finale competing to debut as the nine members of a global boy group.

During the finale, Star Master Hwang Minhyun announced

All the finalists were so talented, it was so unpredictable.
Props to Zhang Hao being the first foreign contestant to win one of these shows.

Awful group name though. But looking forward to their debut.

[goshipgurl]

Just my opinion but the group name sounds like a new variant of covid

[paige_nevaeh]

Or something you’d clean your car with?? It doesn’t really scream boy group 😅

I will just continue referring to them as “Bep1er”

[nekobot]

Bep1er reminds me of blep, which means it's clearly the superior name choice via cat association

[mjmjchick]

I’m still chuckling at how badly received the name was: most of the Masters were trying (and failing) to mask their feelings, and Jiwoong straight-up forgot the name and had to ask Minhyun. 😂😂😂😂😂

Zhang Hao being #1 was the most shocking, even he didn't believe when they called him lol. Everyone was expecting S.Hanbin to remain at #1 especially after that interim ranking, but it seems Hao's korean fanbase really pulled through and got a lot of people to vote for him in the final. He went for being named the first center to not have screentime at the start of the show to the first foreigner to win the final center spot. And he is already getting hate for it for the sino/xenophobic knetz. At least it looks like he is well liked enough among the korean fans that watched the show

Anyways some things I loved from the finals:

[Hao being confused at #1]

Help! Zhang Hao is soooo confused😭 Woaahhh!!! 🎉 Top1 - the center of ZB1 😍🫶🏻

When they were announced as P01 candidates (at this point I thought Zhanghao might not make it because Yujin hadn't been called yet and he's got the biggest fandom)

Do you know why Hui didn't make it? I thought he was the most famous contestant and would make it into the final group for sure.

[mmmdraco]

I'm okay with this lineup, but the number of trainees who didn't quite make it that I want to follow in some other group? Yowza. Wherever Jay, Keita, Haruto, and Yoon Jong-woo end up... I'm there.

[mjmjchick]

Keita is already in ciipher, but Rain won’t do right by them so it might not even be worth mentioning. 😭

[reader17]

I watched the final Live I caught it halfway, at least I got to see them do Jelly Pop and Hot Summer, and only a little of the PJ party (I was working from home so I couldn't pay as close to attention as I wanted). Luckily by the time they started announcing it was close to my lunch time
