On April 9, BNK48 held its 3rd “BNK48 12th Single General Election” at Union Hall in Bangkok. Chang Mai’s CGM48 trainee members, Pim (16) and Kaning (17) ranked in 5th and, 6th place. It has been two and a half years since the group was established, at the 2nd BNK48 general election two and a half years ago, Pim’s 22nd place was the peak they achieved, making a significant leap.
CGM48 came with a storm of success. This was the group’s 2nd general election, and 15 out of 48 members were ranked. The top 16 selected members included Team C captain Aom (26) in 16th place, trainee Marmink (22) in 13th place, Kaning in 6th place, and Pim in 5th place to join the Kami Seven.
The two, in particular, had a good start from the preliminary announcement with Pim in 5th place and Kaning in 3rd place. To remain in the top ranks is a great accomplishment. While being congratulated by her colleagues, Pim was urged to stand in front of the stand microphone in the center of the stage while crying and squeezing out with a shaky voice.
PIM - “At first, my goal was to make the Under Girls (ranked 17-32), but after talking with Izurina-san (CGM48 shihainin), I had (more confidence) to make the selection”.
She is only 16 years old, it would be natural to feel unsure at first, but Izurina, the captain Aom, and the fans, all of whom are part of the “CGM48 family,” supported her and helped her to aim higher.
PIM - “You guys have gotten me to the 5th place. I was shaking as my ranking went up, but everyone encouraged me to do my best here. So, as long as I can, I will do my best! The fact that I was able to place 5th means that CGM48 can too. From now on, we will continue to improve CGM48! I will do my best to win your recognition!”
For a while, she spoke with a teary face and quivering frame, but it gradually turned into a smile, and she ended her speech with a vigorous shout.
Kaning, who came in 6th place, was also in tears of joy as she delivered her speech.
Kaning - “At first, I was planning to aim higher on my own, but when the members cheered me on and said, ‘Kaning can make it’, I realized that we are all in this together and that I am not alone.”
She remembered the feelings of resentment she had when she was in junior high school.
Kaning – “I was the kid who was aiming for the top 10 in exams. But I never achieved those goals, and I was very sad about it. When I said ‘I worked so hard, why?’, my friend said, ‘Doesn’t that mean there were others who worked even harder than Kaning?’. At that time, I had a change of heart and I thought I should not be satisfied with the status, I should do my best, and I need to aim higher”.
She looked back to the starting point of her competitive spirit and approached this general election.After joining CGM48, she also felt frustrated by the fact that she was behind her colleagues in dance skills and other areas.
Kaning -“When I was wondering if I would be able to make it in CGM48, I heard a quote from one of my favorite anime: ‘If you don’t start from zero, where do you begin?’ It was a moment when I thought to myself, ‘Don’t dwell on it’ “.
Her continuous development got her into the Kami Seven.
Kaning -“Until now, I had no idea what I wanted to do or what I wanted. But I finally found my seven goals. If there are people who cannot find what they are passionate about, I believe that It may take time, but you will find it someday’. Thank you all for guiding me this way!”
Kaning finished her speech with a big smile, with a proud heart, and appeared to have grown once again.
Kaning and Pim’s accomplishments will surely propel CGM48 to greater heights from here on.
