After the Friday episode confirmed 11 final winners of the show, BoA, the program’s host and mentor of the participants, took to Instagram Saturday to express her wistful feelings toward the contestants.

She wrote, “This really is the end. I feel so proud of you, my 101 friends. You guys did great. I hope to meet you guys soon when you guys have all achieved your dreams of becoming a singer.”

She also posted a photo that showed herself sitting on a star-shaped seat that has been designated for No. 1 ranking contestants in each episode, with a caption, “I also tried out this comfortable seat in the last episode.”

“I once again realized that our dreams can sparkle if we keep polishing them. For the last 100 days, I learned so much from you guys,” she added.

Contestant Kang Daniel from the entertainment agency MMO topped the ranking by winning over 1.5 million votes, followed by Maroo’s Park Ji-hoon and Brand New Music’s Lee Dae-hwi, who took second and third places, respectively. The 11 winners will officially debut as a project idol group called “Wanna One” this summer.
