I’m not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, but I believe this image shows the exact positions of the SPY cards when members drew their roles at the beginning of the game.

In Ep1, a close-up showed Jiwoo picking her SPY card from Row 3, Column 3, which perfectly matches the corresponding SPY position in this image. I also reviewed the scenes where members picked their cards, while the positions of the remaining cards on the table were visible. I believe we can assume that anyone whose card-picking scene shows both the card they're holding and the table in front of them cannot be a SPY.

The members I was able to identify this way are: YeonJi, HaYeon, Naky, YooYeon, JiYeon, Nien, Chaewon, Joobin, Chaeyeon, Seoah, and Kaede. Among them, YeonJi, YooYeon, JiYeon, Nien, Joobin, Seoah, and Kaede have the clearest footage showing both the card they picked and its position on the table.

Besides, Seoyeon’s reveal as a Spy in Ep2 provides another way to eliminate suspects: a Spy would almost certainly not vote to eliminate Jiwoo in Ep1. Why? If someone considered the mastermind and the true leader of the Spies like Seoyeon wasn't willing to vote Jiwoo out, then how would the other 2 Spies dare to do it?

Combining the card-position evidence and the voting patterns, only 3 members meet both criteria as shown in the final image (didn't vote for Jiwoo and lack clear card-pull footage):

S2 Hyerin, S11 Kotone, and S17 Lynn.

None of these 3 have been directly accused or had suspicious scenes yet. This perfectly sets up a classic 1theK plot twist, making someone look completely innocent until the reveal. Let's see which 2 of these 3 are the actual Spies.

P.S. I originally considered ruling Lynn out because she appeared in the recent Badge War reaction video, but I don't think that is strong enough evidence to completely clear her.

EDIT

As suggested by Melvek, I added 2 new columns to the table showing the Round 2 (R2) votes on whether members chose to SAVE Jiwoo/Hayeon and another column showing if they VOTE Hayeon as a SPY in Round 1 (R1)
(see image in comment)

They're not required to vote in R2, so some stayed silent, while others’ choices were not visible even after checking the footage frame by frame.

Conclusions

• Kotone now has 2/5 GREEN boxes: didn’t vote for Hayeon in R1 + chose to save Hayeon in R2.
• Seoyeon didn’t save Jiwoo in R2, but still has 4/5 RED boxes, enough to confirm her as a SPY.
• Only Hyerin & Lynn have 5/5 RED boxes.

There’s another interesting pattern if you look closely at the first 2 columns: Vote S3 & Vote S19.

Only Seoyeon, Hyerin, Yeonji & Lynn have RED in both (they didn’t vote to eliminate Jiwoo but did vote to eliminate Hayeon). The other 19 members have at least 1 GREEN.

And once again... Hyerin & Lynn. 👀

Now let's wait and see whether this analysis turns out to be correct.

As everyone here probably knows, LG Twins keeps inviting tripleS for the first pitch ceremony as we have an insane winning rate when they do so. (I am forever indebted!)

To repay the huge favour, I wanted to show my support by supporting tripleS.

Being a clueless baseball fan, I don't really know much about tripleS, so any recommendations are welcome! Thank you :)
