Ep. 10: Rena Rediscovers Her Desire to Sing with the Group 9-tie
Aired on December 3, 2021
The Selection Project concludes with a tie as all participants vote for themselves, aiming to perform as a nine-member unit. This refusal to vote again leads to disqualification for everyone, ending the seventh season without a winner. In the subsequent weeks, the girls gather on weekends to discuss forming their own group. Rena assumes a passive role, believing she lacks a reason to sing. However, after reflecting on Akari’s past words, Rena realizes her true desire to sing alongside her friends as the idol group 9-tie.
