BNK48 held its third “BNK48 12th Single Election” on April 9 at Union Hall in Bangkok. Hoop (19) came in at the highest rank of 17th and won the Under Girls’s center position.
The promising newcomer suddenly seized a great opportunity.Starting with Earth (19) at 48th, the names of the 3rd generation members were called one after another. Paeyah (16) was called for 24th place, at last, Hoop was announced she was in 17th place.
Hoop was one step away from making the selection, but 17th place is reserved as the center for the Under Girls. Rather, a position of greater prominence.
The four girls from 20th place were announced in turn. When Hoop’s name was called, she stood up with a big smile on her face, a little startled as she walked to the center of the stage amongst the cheers of the audience and the delighted cheering of her colleagues.
Hoop – “Thank you to all my fans and to those who voted for me who are not my fans. Thank you also to my Senpai who has been so kind to me. Whether you voted for me a lot or a little, it doesn’t change the fact that you have a love for me. Thanks to all of you, I am able to stand at zero position. Thank you.”
Was she too young in her career to feel any pressure? She never shed a tear and, spoke happily to the end, raising the trophy several times.
Hoop – “You all have a good meal and get some rest. Thank you for your hard work. Please continue to take care of BNK48’s 3rd gen members. ขอบคุณค่ะ (kopungkar = thank you)!”
Auditions for the third generation of BNK48 began in January 2020, just before the start of the new coronavirus outbreak. While they passed the final screening on March 7th of the same year, their debut was continually postponed due to the coronavirus disaster. Finally, in February of this year, the 3rd trainees began their work after a lengthy period of hardship.
The long wait is over and, both the members and fans have made tremendous strides toward their debut.
