This particular change raised concerns among fans as it could drastically turn the tables.Some believe the new voting system puts the Japanese and Chinese contestants at a disadvantage, given that Korean fans mostly pick Korean group. This sentiment is backed up by statistics of the survival drama.'Girls Planet 999' reveals the final voting systemThe new voting system announced by Mnet allows the audience to use their one vote to support one out of 18 candidates.

In the boy group of the same show, Mnet similarly changed the voting system to the one-pick system in the finale. Seven out of 12 final trainees were Japanese, but only three survived. Fans attributed the massive drop to a change in the voting system.In Girls Planet 999’s, nine contestants of the 18 contestants were from Japanese and Chinese groups.
