HA JUNSEO / 16 / LEAD RAPPER / RANK 24 / GEN 8
Dynamic: Dropped out of school as soon as he finished middle school, he's not especially memorable (he thinks that's it) bc his rank fluctuates pretty consistently with how active he is on social media. Kinda ridiculous and childish at times, but a hard worker.

NITTA KENJI / 25 / ELYSE
Dynamic: The first Japanese member to debut under CGD48's Team C. His sharp dancing skills and complete fluency in Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, and English won him great international popularity, and since his graduation, he has become a successful soloist and actor, occasionally returning as a guest choreographer for CGD48 and GNM48.

YANG SEUNGMIN / 26 / KAYA
Dynamic: Was never the most popular member, but reached #4 the year he graduated, which left a lot of people confused as to why he left, especially since he still works with CGD48 but as a producer/songwriter rather than a member. The reality is, he was 24 and there were younger, more popular kids who were waiting to debut — he wanted out, they wanted in, the company saw that as a sensible decision.
MINWOO / 19 / SUB-VOCALIST / RANK IDK / GEN 5 / ELYSE
Dynamic: Never the most popular member, but more recently he's become popular for his "charming personality" as he's come out of his shell more. Kind of torn because on one hand, he's one of the members of Team C to rise a lot in popularity, and on the other hand, his parents want him to quit so he can go back to school.

HEEJUN / 22 / MAIN DANCER, SUB-VOCALIST / RANK 19 / GEN 2
Dynamic: The human embodiment of a cat, Heejun was originally going to be in Team D, but they switched him to Team C at the last minute. He was downgraded from Lead Vocalist to Sub-Vocalist after a scandal two years ago, which also contributed to his steadily-decreasing ranking.

JUNHO / 23 / MAIN VOCALIST, LEAD DANCER / RANK 5 / GEN 2
Dynamic: Look, when you're in a group like this, you need to fight to stand out. And to Junho, that means laying down his dignity in the name of variety. It's done wonders for his solo career, except his schedule is so packed that he doesn't have as much time to practice, so he's been taking fewer lines, and when he's introduced more often than not as comedian Ha Junho, some are left wondering why he's even part of the group still.

i just realized junho is older than changmin and it's lowkey fucking me up... i guess that means that changmin is team dad and junho is the absent workaholic dad always gone on business trips who's gonna end up giving all of them daddy issues
oh, kenji's public image.Public Image: The least hated Japanese man in Korea!🎉 Popular enough for his face and dancing ability, but he doesn't really promote in Korea anymore except when for company-wide activities. Nonetheless he maintains a fairly good/neutral reputation.
does anyone want to volunteer a gen 6 or 7 member to have been the one to replace seungminneeds to have been a reasonably popular trainee (whether this popularity continued into post-debut is unimportant)
RHUJIN / 18 / SUB-VOCALIST / RANK 47 / GEN 3
Dynamic: He was probably one of the most talented kids in his generation but a group of passionate haters tore him to shreds, so he dropped from #8 to the low 40s and has been staying there for the past 2.5 years. He's a nice kid who can be a little clumsy, but he's been emotionally scarred.
JIHOON / 26 / CENTER, MAIN RAPPER / RANK 3 / GEN 1 / COSMIC
Dynamic: An old man but he acts like a child, he’s had a youthful personality since his debut. An extremely talented dancer, but people think he’s losing his talent because his knee made a popping noise during one practice. Can these younglings stop bullying him. Also he’s convinced the company is out to get them after he rudely told them he wasn’t planning on graduating.
im just trying to picture a 26 year old rapper sungjae... who knew this is what would become of watermelon boy
lmao it still cracks me up that he and kim sohyun won best drama couple when he wasn't even the main lead... truly iconicjust waiting for him to accept his next role tho because i'm positive he's getting great offers after his last role was one of the leads in the 2nd highest rated kdrama ever... we stan a highly paid idol actor king
skksksks idk he seemed more like a main lead in that drama. joohyuk was clearly the second lead
yes ! we stan !
we'll put it this way sungjae has never even been first lead but he still gets paid more and that's after he gets paid less because of the idol stereotypes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯anyway i trust my boy to wait for a good project... he said he has more than 20 offers that he's been reviewing so it will be a good one
HAN / 20 / ACE, MAIN RAPPER / RANK 36 / GEN 10
Dynamic: The company must have expected a lot from him by making him the ace of their most popular CGD48 team from the get-go, but Han's what the kids call a flop. He raps well (thanks to his super memory) and can produce songs, but he's awkward and speaks Korean like a foreigner. But he's one of the most polite kids you'll ever meet and even if he doesn't realise it, he still has a chance to make it big.
