As it turned out, the female idols did have a disadvantage in this contest — they were less likely to have the fanbase of someone like Kai or Mark, and as such, we ended up only including twelve females in our contest. (Sorry about that!) But from this point on, the ratio has actually remained fairly consistent, proving that the voters aren’t systematically favoring the males, as has previously been suggested. (From twelve out of 32, it went to five out of sixteen, and then two out of eight.)
