Jinricp Season 8 Kicks Off! NEW GENERATION Has No Reigning Champ: All 18 BJs and the Ep. 1 Rankings
Jinricp (진리컴퍼니) Season 8 kicked off on PandaTV on November 9, 2026! The season is titled "NEW GENERATION," and it lives up to the name: last season's top finishers are all gone, and the season opens with a fresh cast.
Your host is the familiar 진리의베이비 Jinriuibaby (double101). There are 18 participants, and it airs every Monday and Wednesday at 16:00. Let's go through them one by one, along with the Ep. 1 rankings.
First, a look back at last season (Season 7)
Season 7 ran from June 15 to August 17, 2026, over 21 episodes. The winner who took the Director seat was 원하나 Wonhana (o111na). She finished 5th in both Season 4 and Season 5, so this was her first win.
2nd place went to 엘리 Eli (eli05021212), her fifth main-season runner-up finish after winning Season 1. 3rd was 윤시은 Yunsieun (riwon1004) and 4th was 레나 Rena (moem9e9), both placing exactly where they did in Season 6.
Making her Jinricp debut from Mscrew33, 소유 Soyu (bongbong486) appeared in all 21 episodes and finished 5th. The full final standings are in the Season 7 recap.
Season 7: #1
Season 7: #2
Season 7: #3
Season 7: #4
The top 4 from Season 7. None of the four are in this season.
What's different in Season 8? A NEW GENERATION with no champion
The biggest change is the absence of the usual top finishers. Season 7 champion 원하나 Wonhana, repeat runner-up 엘리 Eli, 레나 Rena (4th in all three main seasons she played), and 3rd-place 윤시은 Yunsieun are all missing from this season's cast.
None of the 18 has ever won a main season. The only past winners are 승승승 SeungSeungSeung (gkfnsus5573), who won EX3, and 라라 Rara (lalalov2), who won EX2. The best main-season finish in the group is 이태리 Itaeri (naras2) with 4th place in Season 5.
The format is the same as always: the 직급전 (job-rank battle), where placements are treated like company job titles. The pledge sheets list everything from Director down through Manager and Deputy Manager, all the way to 청줌마대장 ("Head Cleaner" tier) and 버려지 ("Cast-off" tier). Anyone could become the first Director, which makes this a true new-generation season.
Rankings after Ep. 1
These are the standings after the opening episode. 승승승 SeungSeungSeung is 1st and 라라 Rara is 2nd, so the two EX winners sit side by side at the top. In 4th is 김하은 Gimhaeun (bboever2865), making her Jinricp debut.

Season 8 highlights
Will a veteran or a transfer take the throne?
With no main-season champion in the cast, it looks like a fight for the top between longtime Jinricp veterans and people like 소유 Soyu, who moved over from Mscrew33. EX champions 승승승 SeungSeungSeung and 라라 Rara took 1st and 2nd in Ep. 1, and 이태리 Itaeri, a former main-season 4th-placer, is back. 소유 Soyu was a three-time runner-up in Mscrew33 and is now in her second Jinricp season.
How it differs from PandaClass Season 10
PandaClass Season 10, which started around the same time, is drawing attention with a new format that splits 31 people into a first team and a second team. PandaClass makes noise with its large cast and novelty, so how will Jinricp, with its 18, make its presence felt? That is part of the fun this season.
Will a new fan favorite emerge?
Six BJs appear in Jinricp's ranking records for the first time. Starting with 김하은 Gimhaeun, who landed 4th right away, we'll be watching all season to see whether the next face of the show comes from this group.
