Fans who've been supporting the trainees since the start of the show are now proud and happy about the members finally making it to debut from the large crowd of 90+ contestants.
While fans are naturally upset about some of their faves not making it all the way, they haven't been particularly unhappy with the members who have made it to the lineup.
