The girls are Qiao Yiyu, Wang Ke, Xueyao, Didi and Emma from China, Pailiu and Yean from Thailand, Elyn from Malaysia and Ruan from Japan.
Along the way, the show's popularity as well as viewers' enthusiasm and engagement went from strength to strength towards the end of the season as reflected by a total of 500 million votes for the nine winners on WeTV application whereas the hashtag CHUANGASIA topped NO.1 X trending hashtags in Thailand and #CHUANGAsiaGrandDebutNight has been mentioned over 1 million times.
Representing the 9 winners from CHUANG ASIA THAILAND is Qiao Yi Yu, the trainee who got the top votes of 80 million, revealed her feelings after her debut as the centre of Gen1es, saying: "I feel extremely delighted and grateful for all the fans of CHUANG ASIA, all the crew members, WeTV and the five mentors who give inspirations and share their experiences. From now, my job is to do my best to give happiness to my fan club who always supports me and recognises our girl group."
Jackson Wang, Lead Mentor and Co-producer of CHUANG ASIA, commented: "I am greatly delighted to have served as the lead mentor and co-produced CHUANG ASIA the first season in Thailand. Our intentions were to extend opportunities and support aspiring talents to pursue their dreams. Whether their performances were good or bad is not as important as how they embraced and kept alive their opportunities during the past three to four months when all of them must have had memorable times and experiences, no matter success or failure."
"Their performances during this show are never the ultimate conclusion of their true potentials, though. I hope all of them gained plenty of experiences, thoughts, and inspirations, and remember these meaningful moments and experiences. I believe very much that all these can be the first step of their international success - experiences that will be really helpful for self-development into the next version of themselves," he added.
