Aigo.

Here we are again.

The Genius has opened its doors for the 2nd round.

We're here.

No one else must have come yet. We're first!

I was able to survive thanks to you.

Me too. I'm really thankful.

I was shaking so much I thought I would die.

Hot alliance Changyeop and Jungmoon

The 1st main match is the 1.2.3 Game.

1, 2, 3?

Last week's main match was the 1.2.3 Game.

Given three 1, 2 and 3 cards for a total of 9 cards,

players had to play against others to gain wins.

They were required to form alliances to use all of their cards

within the time limit.

It's simple.

This is all about alliances.

Then you're going to work with me, right?

Yes, of course. I'll work with oppa.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh? Ah!

Hello.

Hello. How are you?

Oh, you look prettier.

Oh, really?

Your face has brightened.

Last time, you were a bit...

When unni was in the death match at the end...

I was tricked!

Is Sunggyu 1st then?

Something crazy just happened!

The elimination candidate with 0 wins is Minseo.

Please pick a player to join you in the death match.

I'll pick Junseok.

I had a hard time because I couldn't sleep at night.

It kept lingering in my mind.

I really can't come last this week.

You really need to experience it to understand.

Thank you.

Minseo caused an upset by eliminating Junseok

who was a huge favorite to win.

Gura oppa, Sangmin oppa and Poong...

Veterans alliance Gura, Sangmin and Poong

That's right.

These three...

An alliance.

Hello.

Ah! Poong.

Poong was a member of my fanclub.

I'm happy to be playing the game with them.

I should never stab these two in the back.

Hello.

Oh, Sunggyu.

1st place.

Pierce

Mindful

Let's give each other 3 wins.

Sunggyu allied with Minseo,

only to walk away after taking 3 wins for himself

and became an icon of betrayal.

Sunggyu wins.

I'll stop here.

I was tricked!

There were probably a lot of people trembling

after unni came last.

You know Sunggyu didn't win by luck, right?

We don't know who was behind it.

It was Kyungran unni.

I'll play with Sunggyu.

Only use your 3's.

Sunggyu was part of two alliances.

Can you stop if you want to?

You may decline.

I'll stop here.

Kyungran was behind it all.

I don't hate Sunggyu who betrayed me.

Pfft!

Nuna, please forget about that.

It wasn't my intention.

Exactly! I couldn't sleep because of Kyungran.

You were used, Sunggyu.

Hello.

Wary

What's with this atmosphere?

We were really nervous at first

so everyone was a little on edge,

but it feels much more comfortable today.

We should help each other out

and look after each other when we're in danger.

It's tough!

Ah!

Oh, there he is!

He was last week's hero!

No blood or tears.

We haven't seen each other in a week,

but the only information we have about each other

is based on our experiences last week.

For example, teacher Cha talks a lot.

It's simple.

This is simple.

Simple?

And Eunji is unexpectedly naive.

Jinho is very cold.

This guy is just...

He has no idea.

But shouldn't Jinho have 3 garnets?

I had 3, but last week 1 was...

Yeah, you had 1 in the beginning

and you should have received 2, right?

I gave him one when I asked for help.

I lost one at the start.

I lost it, but apparently it just ends with that.

Would that really be the case?

Now, why would I have 2?

Oh?

Why do you have 2?

They're just going at it now.

What happens if I pick this up?

Dummy!

When I picked this up,

I thought hard about whether I should return it or use it.

In the end, I told Minseo

that I think he'd really like this garnet.

Then when you gave me a garnet after coming last,

was that all planned from the start?

You should return things to their owner.

Why would you give it to someone else?

Scratch

Scratch

Sangmin told me this.

Idiotic Jinho lost it...

Idiotic...

And he doesn't know.

You didn't get a garnet and lost an ally.

Jinho is really...

Are you looking down on me right now?

I want to look down on you a bit.

I'll get my revenge.

Let's not cry when we're eliminated.

Really! No crying.

Let's just enjoy it while we can.

Hello.

We will begin the 2nd round of The Genius game.

Junseok was eliminated in the 1st round

and now there are 12 players remaining.

Before we start the game,

I will reveal the player's garnet counts.

Minseo, Jinho and Sunggyu have 2.

The other players all have 1 each.

Then we will begin the 2nd main match.

What is the 2nd main match?

The 2nd main match is the Election Game.

Election?

Election game?

In the Election Game, you will run as an election candidate

and the candidate with the most votes will win.

When do they think the election ended?

Candidate registration is only open for the first 5 minutes.

Candidates will use their campaign funds

to campaign for 90 minutes.

In order to determine the approval ratings of each candidate,

opinion poll results will be released every 30 minutes.

Following two opinion polls, the final vote will take place.

The candidate with the most votes will be the winner.

The candidate with the least votes will be up for elimination.

Therefore, the winner and loser of the Election Game

can only be one of the players who ran for office.

The remaining players are simply voters

and cannot be the winner or loser.

However, they may still be picked for the death match.

Candidates may resign at any time during their campaigns

and return to being a voter.

That means you may resign at any time

if you feel that your chances are slim.

When running as a candidate,

you will each receive a campaign donation of 20 chips.

Following the election,

each chip will be exchanged for one garnet.

Wow!

They're giving out a lot of garnets.

However, only the winning candidate's campaign chips

can be exchanged for garnets.

To clarify, a losing or resigned candidate's chips are useless.

Therefore, every player must attempt to get

as many of the winning candidate's chips as possible.

The Election Game will begin shortly without a rehearsal.

I'm nervous.

Act freely until the game begins.

The peculiar thing is that

not only do the candidates have to look good to the voters,

it's also important to get chips

from the candidate you think will win.

Yeah, it's important to pick the one who will win

because they'll give me garnets if I say I'll vote for them.

There's another variable though.

What?

There's definitely a variable.

Of course there are variables.

Are you looking for dropped garnets again?

Did you pick something up again?

Do you have some chips already?

The rules for this are unexpectedly simple, right teacher?

Give us a speech.

No, they told me to stop telling everyone.

It was just a joke.

It's simple. If you just stay as a voter like they said,

you can't be the elimination candidate

so that could be the best backup plan in a way.

Even if it isn't the best plan.

You can still be picked for the death match though.

That's inevitable. It was the same in the last game.

This is a summary of the Election Game.

The candidate with the most votes will be the winner.

The one with the least votes will be up for elimination.

Candidates may resign at any time during their campaigns

and return to being a voter.

Each candidate will receive a campaign donation of 20 chips

and only the winner's chips will be exchanged for garnets.

Sneak

The two of them talk quietly in the corner

Those two again!

They're too much!

We were just talking about another program for a bit.

No

No

How could you come to The Genius

and talk about another program?

This isn't like you, Sangmin.

I think so too.

For someone who always does his best

and is more enthusiastic than anyone

when picking up garnets.

Picking up garnets...

Everyone hold onto your garnets! Quick!

Alert

I better tie it to my wrist.

Tightly

Mistrust

I wanted to make sure I didn't lose my garnets

so I wore it on my belt.

Garnets should be tied to your belt for the ultimate fashion

I tie it to my belt like this.

That's really thorough.

You never know when or where you could lose them.

So what did you two get out of your discussion?

Normally in real elections,

you need campaign donations to run for president.

You need money. You can't just run because you want to!

But you're given funds for running in this

so we were wondering if there was any reason not to run.

Then as someone who has some intention

of running as a candidate...

Yeah.

It may not be enough even if you started campaigning now...

That's not it.

For you two to be whispering like that is a bit...

Because fundamentally...

If I run, I'll be elected.

Dumbfounded

What is this~

What do you base that on?

What we were thinking was...

Ah, is it already "we"?

Flustered

No, that's not it...

You asked what I based that on?

What else?

Because...

I'm Kim Gura!

I'm well known, aren't I?

Is that all?

Your belief in me!

If I approach someone man to man,

wouldn't they all be won over?

You see? There's that trust.

2 hours earlier

Sangmin must have already allied with Gura.

I feel awkward having Poong here.

He was always outside before.

I told you stop being like that!

Like what?

Why do you keep going back and forth?

He's always next to Gura or Sangmin.

Wait, I can't let my image become like this.

I did have an alliance last time...

I worked with Gura hyung and Sangmin hyung.

Kyungran, just a moment. Let's talk.

Go talk with Sunggyu.

Not about this.

Talk about your drawings. Your work.

Alright?

No, bring Sunggyu here.

Bring Sunggyu.

Gura hyung has that commanding presence.

Enthusiastic

I couldn't help but get swept up in it.

But Jinho said he lost his alliance

and asked whether I would consider teaming up with him.

Honestly, it's a little tempting.

Who wants to run for office?

There's no need for us not to run at the start.

Me too. I think it would be good to just run.

I'm also thinking about it.

Not because I want to come 1st...

The players are positive about running

Everyone's running.

I just want to run.

Close the door.

Oh, that charisma!

Whether we have 4 or 5 people in the running,

it doesn't matter in the beginning,

but I know a surefire way to make someone 1st.

It's very simple.

The key to this game is

whether the person running can control their greed or not.

If they try to keep the garnets for themselves, they'll fail.

If you only spend 10 chips and keep 10 for yourself...

Ah, I think I get what he's saying.

That's obvious.

That's it. You need to spend all 20 chips.

I can't say anymore.

Minsoo sunbae kind of says that he knows everything

and doesn't really reveal much.

I don't think he's that different from me.

Everyone's free to enter the race,

but it wouldn't hurt to think of a strategy first.

We could actually have 3 candidates on the same team

and vote for one person at the end.

The problem with that is

how are we going to trust each other?

It's too risky to just make a verbal promise.

Hyung doesn't really have a connection to us though.

Your image isn't that great either, right?

Are you crazy?

But we've had some positive discussion between us

with nuna at the center, right?

It did get a little heated last week.

No, it was just last week.

And after Junseok hyung was eliminated,

hyung is kind of an outsider, right?

That's not true. Why are you being like that?

Outsider

He's a little annoying so I felt like eliminating him,

but this isn't a game you can play alone.

I think it's important to team up well with someone.

Now the candidate registration period approaches

Time is up. Please gather in the hall.

We will now accept candidate registrations for 5 minutes.

To reiterate, after the registration period ends,

there will be no more chances to run as a candidate.

Please raise your hand if you would like to run for office.

Look

Only raise your hand if you would like to enter the race.

It looks like everyone's very ambitious.

Most players register as a candidate

But this is too...

Someone should be putting them on for us,

but since we're putting them on ourselves...

Give me one too.

Gura isn't someone who would ever yield

or give up what's his.

So this time...

I'll be paying close attention to Gura's moves.

The candidate registration period has ended.

Candidates may resign at any time during their campaigns

and return to being a voter.

To resign, you may ring the bell on the platform

and read the declaration of resignation.

In 30 minutes,

we will release the results of the first opinion poll.

You may now begin your campaigns.

Two... Only two are left.

Kyungran and Minsoo remain as voters

The people who didn't run stand out more, don't they?

I wanted to be a really faithful kingmaker for this game.

Really.

Who will be able to win our hearts?

That seems to be the key.

Out of everyone that entered the race,

you can't completely guarantee that they'll help you,

but we have no such desires.

That's not true.

We can become kingmakers at any time as well.

We can just throw these away.

You still made this decision, didn't you?

We don't have any of those desires at all.

I could hold more power than anyone else

so you can't just think of the voters as bystanders.

Now the campaigning begins in earnest

Poong hyung!

We haven't taken a side yet...

Let's talk.

So you can come to us together.

Ignore

Huh?

Whoosh~

The strange thing is

the candidates are in an uproar amongst themselves.

Are you looking down on the voters?

Let's do something.

We need to build up our group.

Jinho, Poong, and Sunggyu gather in the living room

As soon as we find 7 people, we'll be invincible.

No one will drop out.

Someone could still betray us though.

They won't.

The more people there are, the more uncertain it is.

Changyeop shows interest in their group

Oh, come in!

We have 4 people if we include Changyeop, right?

Jinho's Election Plan

Then there's Yuram, Jungmoon and Minseo out of the girls.

This looks like the safest route

because those three don't really have a side yet

and they're still wondering what to do.

Would Poong hyung take part in this though?

Why? Of course he would!

There's that close group of three.

Suspect

It's just this... What's wrong with you?

There's still that alliance of three. The Gura Unionist Party.

No...

We just didn't talk before,

Poong is suspected for being a fan of Gura and Sangmin

but now we've got a finalized plan.

If we start doubting each other now, there'll be no end to it.

There's no real reason to betray us because it's 100% safe.

That's true, but...

We'd be the majority.

It's important that the four of us come to an agreement,

but we also need to get 7 people quickly.

Then since I talk with Jungmoon a lot anyway...

Why do you two talk so much?

I don't know. It just turned out that way.

What can I do about it?

I'll work with oppa.

Really?

I was just curious.

Are you interested in her?

Are you jealous?

No. What are you saying?

You should bring her in quick then.

I'll try talking to her.

Support me.

Do you want to aim for 1st?

I only ran because I believed in you.

As long as teacher Cha survives,

I want to keep getting help from him to the end.

Even if I end up crying later on, I'll be elected no matter what.

If we're going to campaign, we need a strategic advisor.

I have someone I can bring over to our side without garnets.

Who could it be?

Yeah, come in.

Stealthy

Wary

Somehow all the women gathered here.

It happened again.

Teacher. Let's just keep going like this.

I could definitely come 1st if I tried.

The person I back will definitely win too

because I have a bit of game sense.

Who do you think will be their candidate?

I don't know. We don't need to know all of that!

There's no need for it!

Since we'll win anyway.

There's no real need for a strategy.

They won't go against me rashly since I'm a prime candidate

so I'll obviously succeed.

Relaxed

Relaxed

Who are we backing to win?

It can be anyone.

You could be 1st again.

Simply put, do you think Poong hyung will betray us?

Then if you just promised him immunity,

do you think he would still betray us then?

What if I lose because he betrays us?

There's no reason to betray us! Why would he do that?

There's no reason to betray you now.

There's nothing better than immunity right now.

That would mean you just hate this person for no reason.

Hyung, if you say it like that...

I think it's all a matter of trust today.

From person to person...

This is difficult.

If we all trust each other and...

Sunggyu cautiously enters the study

What did you talk about?

Sit down.

This seems serious.

Who were you talking to?

Me?

It was just...

Poong and...

Jinho hyung.

Did you team up or...

We're still planning.

Why did you come then?

I just came because I was curious.

To scout us out.

Nuna, do you hate me?

No, why would I hate you?

You were being so aggressive...

No, that's not it.

I didn't even register as a candidate.

Ah, that's right.

I said this earlier,

but I just want to be a honest and faithful kingmaker.

My trust level for Kyungran nuna is 50% for now.

She kept giving me her sales pitch so...

Peek

Sunggyu. / Yes.

What?

Hyung will always stay by your side.

Thank you, sunbae.

I may not be a big help, but...

Ah, what are you saying?

I can trust Sunggyu, right?

Of course.

The music industry sun-hoobae relationship is still alive.

To be honest, it's not that great...

It's not very good,

but everyone has difficult times.

Of course.

Depending on how you overcome these obstacles,

you can either guarantee your future or become a failure.

It's a crossroads.

Teary

Teary

Even now, we're at those crossroads.

We know how that feels, right?

Sunbae, please be healthy.

Of course.

What's that supposed to mean?

No, I was just hoping you'd always be healthy.

I'm getting a bad feeling from this...

No, not at all.

I like you!

Sunggyu fighting!

My trust level for Sangmin sunbae is...

2%.

Around that much.

Why is hyung always alone?

Ah, you startled me!

Ah, Gura hyung is always...

No, it's just that my head really hurts.

I put in so much effort that I've got a headache.

We will release the results of the first opinion poll.

Poong, Sunggyu, and Sangmin

currently lead the race with 2 votes each.

Oh? Who picked me?

I have 2 votes too. What's wrong with these people?

Meanwhile, Eunji nuna has none.

Embarrassed

This was an expected result.

Ah, but how did I get 0 votes?

Are they looking down on me?

While an alliance between Gura and Sangmin is expected,

3 Horse Race

Minsoo has promised to back Yuram.

Jinho has also won over Poong and Changyeop

and is rapidly expanding his influence.

Do you want to join our party?

The Jinho Party?

Sure, let's talk, Jinho.

All together? Come over then.

Jinho works busily to form a 7 person alliance

The most important thing is to avoid elimination

and you can do that as soon as you get 7 people.

We can make it through to the next week no matter what.

Did you get 7 people then?

I've almost got 7 people. Have a look.

We already have 3 with Poong hyung and Changyeop

Jinho's Election Plan

and we'll have 6 with you three.

Then we'll have 7 if we just get confirmation from Sunggyu.

Jinho. / Yes.

I think it would be worthwhile to start handing out chips.

We should choose a candidate from our team quickly and...

We'll just assume you'll join us then

and I'll start getting a move on.

Jinho saved me last week so if there's any way I can help,

I'm going to try to do so this week.

Jinho's Election Plan

We need someone who can give a clear answer.

We have Poong hyung...

Honestly, hyung...

Don't trust them.

I can't trust them. I don't think this is right.

No, there's no reason to decline

because everyone will be safe.

It's not safe at all!

It's safe!

I just talked with all of them...

And it's not safe.

There's no reason to decline though! Why would they?

If everyone resigns and there's only one person left,

the winner will get to decide who's last.

The winner gets to choose the loser.

The winner just gives immunity to someone.

But what I'm saying is...

Suppose there are 3 candidates.

If two of them resign, the one left over would win.

Then there's no loser because both of them resigned

so the winner gets to choose the loser.

Really?

I asked.

If everyone except one person resigns,

the person left over would win, right?

Then who's last?

Last place will be chosen by the winner.

Then they choose who they'll save and the loser?

Is there any need to form opposing sides then?

Jinho seems to have the quickest game sense.

He has quick game sense, but decisively...

He has bad diction

Jinho's pronunciation is very bad.

so he can't gain trust from people.

People who face the public need good diction.

Ah, so bored.

Try persuading us.

Me?

I'm tired. I give up.

Everyone says they can't trust me.

But I really can't trust you.

Survival is the most important thing, right?

We want a 100% chance of advancing to the 3rd round

and we'll have that if we get 7 people.

How are you going to persuade people to do that though?

In my case...

If you win, you can only save one person.

Even if you promise them chips, their lives will still in danger.

Also even if all 7 people are on my side,

there's no guarantee that all of them can be saved.

Every game has an element of chance anyway.

This isn't 100% certain either

because if someone goes to the death match,

it could be a game where we can't take part.

But what can they do if they're not in this group?

Nothing, right?

All they can do is become a voter

and go to the death match if someone picks them.

If they're not picked, they'll live. That's it.

The probabilities are the same anyway,

but if that's the case, this would be a bit safer.

We'd just be playing it safe.

In the Election Game,

you need a steady gaze that instills trust in others.

Smirk!

A truly steady gaze.

I've already set up several things other than my gaze.

When you two see it, you'll probably be shocked!

He sounds like he's lying.

"Gura" means lie.

No.

You'll probably find out later,

Relaxed

but I've set up something to really blow your minds.

Why did Sangmin scoff though?

No, I was just suggesting that he resign already.

He needs to resign quickly for me to gain a vote.

Ah.

Relaxed

Yuram and Jinho have joined forces

to begin their campaign and gather people in earnest.

Does anyone have someone

they can bring over to our side for certain?

I do. / Who?

Teacher Cha.

Teacher Cha?

I can get Poong hyung.

I'll bring in Poong hyung and...

The three factions have now been narrowed down to two.

I'll explain one more time.

We're set now.

Who are we backing? / Yuram.

Ah.

You should go along with it now since teacher Cha joined us.

I have 2 or 3 more people

who would support the person I nominate.

The death match won't just end

with two people playing rock, paper, scissors.

It'll be a game where all 12 of us can get involved.

Right?

Yeah

We'll win anyway.

We could get another game where we can take part

and since we've already got 7 people,

we can just help whoever gets chosen for the death match.

Then that person will be able to survive.

In this alliance that has nominated Yuram,

Jinho's Election Plan

the existing members of Poong, Changyeop and Minseo

have been joined by Kyungran and Minsoo.

Jinho's 7 person alliance strategy is progressing steadily.

Would it be better for me to resign? In the current climate?

Yawn~

Resign and join our side.

How?

No, just...

Resign?

Yeah, we decided to resign and back Yuram.

Ah, really? / Yeah.

Do you want to resign?

I think that given the current climate,

I should start heading in that direction too.

Then I can tell you that our side has over 8 people right now.

Yes.

We just came to an agreement with 6 people in there

and we'll probably end up with 9 or 10 people.

I was a bit confused as well.

Even if someone picks one of us for the death match,

we have 10 people on our side.

We'll still have the majority with 8 or 9 people

so whoever goes to the death match will win.

I will give 2 garnets to Sangmin

and keep my promise.

1 hour earlier

Did you decide?

Why are you taking him?

I told Jinho hyung about this as well,

but I'm just going to vote for whoever I think will win.

Vote for me then.

What if I think nuna won't win?

Don't vote for me then, but you might regret it.

We will release the results of the second opinion poll.

According to the second opinion poll,

Jinho is in the lead with 3 votes.

Ah, he's been keeping really busy!

What?

You're quite popular.

Our members will just play it safe this round.

Did everyone else you talked with join you?

They've all joined. You're the last one now.

The 7th member.

I was running back and forth to find the last member.

We're almost done now.

This is hard.

You're certain Changyeop oppa joined you, right?

Yeah, Changyeop was the 6th one.

It's certain!

You can trust me.

Hold onto these 3 chips for now.

They're Yuram's.

He gives Yuram's chips to Changyeop

Okay?

Alright.

If you just vote for Yuram later on, it's over.

Take these 3 chips then and go talk to Changyeop.

You two can sort things out after talking.

Okay?

Okay.

Aigo, this is tiring.

Game over!

With Jungmoon's definite answer,

Jinho's Election Plan

Jinho's plan is complete.

The election is in 30 minutes,

but can we resign as long as it's before the election?

Yes, you may resign at any time.

The countdown has begun.

Ah, I better resign.

Go ahead.

I think it might be tough for me.

No one's resigning?

Gura was out of sight for the entire campaign.

Where could he have spent his missing chips?

I guess I better start clamping down.

Sunggyu. / Yes.

Now that the second opinion poll is over...

Yes.

We're completely set in stone now.

You'll only get the winner's garnets.

The loser's garnets are just trash.

That's right.

You know, right?

Garnets.

In my opinion, every game is about picking the right side

so I'll side with whoever has the best chance of winning.

Right now I'm...

Okay.

Anyway...

Alright.

You're saying you won't do it, right?

I'm sorry. It can't be helped.

What?

No, he just wanted me to join him.

He wanted to work with me.

What are they going to do? They're lacking in numbers.

What?

What are they going to do with less numbers?

What numbers?

What are they going to do with so few people?

I have no idea either.

He only just asked me to join him now.

It's hopeless.

Blank~

Who's on our side right now?

It's almost everyone.

It would be faster to say who isn't on our side.

Gura isn't, Sangmin isn't, Sunggyu isn't

and Eunji isn't.

Everyone else is on our side.

Are you sure about Poong?

What?

I said are you sure about Poong?

It doesn't matter if Poong hyung betrays us.

It doesn't matter if one person betrays us right now.

We're that safe.

That's what I meant by insurance earlier.

We'll definitely win as long as we have at least 7 people,

but we have 8 or 9 right now.

Who's going to be our pillar then?

Who's the pillar?

What do you mean?

We're going to back a candidate, right?

Yeah, Yuram.

Okay.

You still didn't know that?

Unni, I thought we told you!

Kyungran didn't even know who their candidate was

No, I just thought...

I was really taken aback just now.

She flusters everyone

No, I knew it would be one of you.

Hyung, just a sec.

It would be ridiculous for us to betray each other now, right?

Of course.

We'd be betraying each other for no reason.

That would make us a little stupid.

Yeah.

This is already over anyway. Okay?

It would be ridiculous if this falls through.

It would be ridiculous if this plan fails.

Jinho is sure that the 7 person alliance he made will win

I better resign. I'm going to give up.

Are you giving up?

No one accepted my chips.

And he resigns from candidacy

Wow.

Is Jinho resigning?

Declaration of resignation.

I, Jinho, will resign from candidacy.

Ah, really?

Oh ho, what could have happened to Jinho?

Jinho? Do you have time to spare?

I have all the time in the world now.

I, Minseo, will resign from candidacy.

I will resign from candidacy.

This is followed by a rush of resignations

I will resign.

Then

Teary

Teary

I thought very hard about this.

I think the time has come for me to step down.

I think he might cry.

It's Sangmin.

I will resign from candidacy.

Is Sunggyu resigning?

Sunggyu is too funny!

I will resign from candidacy.

Sunggyu!

Sunbae!

You did it! / Yes.

Embrace

I'll follow sunbae.

You did good.

Please return your sticker.

Ah, yes.

Ah, that hurt.

Go have a nap for a bit.

If you're tired.

Is Gura running for that side then?

We don't know. They might not have a candidate at all.

Eh?

If they have no candidates, Yuram gets to pick who loses.

That's even better.

Yeah.

That side has to be thinking of something, right?

Yeah, they're up to something.

Gura said that we'd be shocked.

What could it be?

What is it?

Then Gura steps up to the platform

Ah. Ah.

Oh?

The people who haven't resigned yet

He's talking about something else.

Is Gura resigning?!

are Changyeop and Yuram.

We have around 4 minutes left now.

As you all know, I was the core of this election.

He was a really quiet core.

I will boldly resign from candidacy.

This is...

Clap Clap Clap

What is this?

I think I get what he's thinking.

What is it?

If he just resigns at the last minute,

a voter can't become the elimination candidate, right?

I think he's just satisfied with being exempt.

You don't get excluded though.

You can still be picked for the death match.

Yeah, even if you're picked for the death match,

that's all up to chance.

He thinks he won't go to the death match for the time being.

He was like that last week too.

Wait, does that mean there are only two left?

Ah, that's exactly what he's thinking.

"Who would pick me?"

What could Gura's plan be?

Only Changyeop and Yuram haven't resigned

You're holding out well.

How many seconds are left?

15 seconds.

15 seconds?

Yuram's alliance member Changyeop

There's not much time left now.

Why hasn't he resigned yet?

What happens if there's only one candidate though?

Then!

That person will be the winner and...

I, Changyeop...

Will...

Not resign from candidacy.

There's a twist.

Changyeop didn't resign in the end

What could have happened to him?

They're trying to make a party.

Rather than Sunggyu, you know the actor? / Changyeop?

What if we backed him to win?

Ah, they're too much!

Gura and Sangmin quietly hatched a plan

We were just talking about another program for a bit.

What?

It's me, Jungmoon and Sunggyu...

Then Gura approaches Changyeop

Hey, just a sec.

Just a sec. Get out for a bit.

Hey.

I'll get to the point.

I don't know what you've talked about with who so far,

but simply put...

I'm going to resign at a decisive moment

and then I'm going to back you.

We can make you 1st in any case.

Why? Do you have any doubts?

No.

Let's swap our chips.

We're trading?

Don't worry!

We have no choice but to back you

if we don't want this to become trash.

I'll put my trust in hyung then.

I have no desires.

Do I look like someone who would betray you?

Don't worry.

I have an image to maintain! Don't worry.

I sort of get the feeling that I'm being driven into a corner

because I might not get elected after doing all this.

Ah, I'm a bit worried.

The campaign period has ended.

Please gather in the hall.

It is now time to vote

I'm not that nervous.

Ah, I'm a bit worried.

I think we'll win as expected.

It's really confusing.

Jinho's Election Plan

We will now begin voting.

The remaining candidates are Yuram and Changyeop.

I didn't think Changyeop would run.

When your name is called, please step forward to vote.

Kyungran, please step forward.

Is it me again?

Will she vote for Yuram as planned?

Gura is next.

Two people didn't resign to the end.

It must be because they're sure of their victory.

However, there can only be one winner.

One of the two will win,

but it is certain that one of them is sadly mistaken.

Who could be the mistaken one?

I trust my colleagues 100%.

Will it really play out according to our scenario?

Yuram is next.

Will Yuram be elected as planned?

Changyeop is next.

What strategy has made Changyeop so certain of victory?

What will be the result?

Changyeop surprised me.

He betrayed us even though there was no need.

That must mean he's confident in his chances,

but that was really strange to me and I was a bit flustered.

I will announce the results.

With a total of 8 votes...

With a total of 8 votes...

Who will come out on top in this game?

I will announce the results.

With a total of 8 votes...

Changyeop has been elected president.

What's going on?

This is really surprising.

Pleased

Grin

The elected player's campaign chips

will be exchanged for garnets shortly.

With a total of 4 votes, Yuram is the elimination candidate.

As the sole winner of the election,

Changyeop has earned two tokens of life.

Please use the token of life

to grant immunity to another player.

I've decided who I'll give this to.

I'll give it to Eunji.

What kind of situation is this?

Ah, I don't understand this even with the results.

Eunji gains immunity from the death match

I predicted that it could be close,

but I didn't think I would lose.

Since Poong who I trusted the most betrayed me...

I really didn't betray you. Honestly.

I didn't betray you. Watch the broadcast later.

You can...

Oh, you startled me!

These two...

Oh? They ended up meeting each other.

They met up in the end.

Poong didn't vote for me

and between Minseo unni or Kyungran unni...

Suspect

I was just a voter!

I didn't even know Changyeop was running!

How could something like this happen?

Is Kyungran really innocent?

Wow...

Who's going to be our pillar then?

We're going to back a candidate, right?

Yeah, Yuram.

Okay.

You still didn't know that?

Kyungran acted suspiciously during the main match

Unni, I thought we told you!

No, I just thought...

I was really taken aback just now.

No.

You voted for Yuram, right?

Poong is on that side.

I know so you picked Yuram, right?

Yes.

How did this happen?

Jinho betrayed us.

Really?

We got 4 votes from Kyungran, Minseo, you and I.

Jinho played both sides.

Jinho betrayed them?!

I'll go give out more of these garnets.

There's no good in Yuram having too many.

I'll give these out to our members.

Hand these out then.

Did Jinho really betray them?!

So this is how it feels to be betrayed.

It's a little surprising and...

It's surprising.

These people had all of this planned out from the start.

We can't trust Kyungran either.

What?

Am I wrong?

That's the problem! I really...

Fume

Why are you saying that?

Why can't you trust me? Tell me honestly.

That's not it.

Don't you know everything that's going on right now?

Super flustered

Know what? This person is really weird.

Did you know?

Vicious

I didn't.

You're the spy, aren't you?

I'm not.

Did you vote for Yuram?

Of course I did.

You didn't, did you? / I did!

You did? / Yes, I did.

Really? / Yes.

What am I meant to say?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

So this is what it's like.

He didn't even know I was here

and said I betrayed... Ah...

I've got goosebumps right now.

Ah, I don't know. I'll have to wait and see.

So this is how it is. This is how the world is.

The world is scary.

Before the death match opponent is chosen,

I will reveal each player's garnet counts.

How did this come to happen?

You, me, and Poong are certain.

1 hour before campaigning

Minseo? I can talk to her.

Sunggyu is the same.

Even if someone betrays us,

we just need these 5 people.

That's right.

Bring them here.

I think the women should survive a long time.

Gura and Sangmin commence their plan

Unni, we must not be women then.

He calls over Sunggyu

If the other person has 99 and I have 1,

but I win the last game...

Minseo is called over as well

They have the least value to us, right?

And a secret meeting is held

This guy wants to survive no matter what.

He only ever talks with Jungmoon and these people though.

He just needs to rope in one more person for us.

That's why we should...

Put him up as a candidate?

I think that would be best. Alright?

Changyeop is chosen to be the running candidate

Yes.

Simply put, I'm going to resign at a decisive moment

and then I'm going to back you.

Burden

Why? Do you have any doubts?

You're certain, right? / I'm certain! Okay?

Got it? So you just need to bring in Jungmoon.

This will fall apart if you tell anyone else. / Okay.

I think it would be good to work with him for now.

Why aren't you inviting me though?

You can just trust and follow me. That would be best.

You get the general idea, right?

Jinho's Election Plan

m 195 75 l 0 75 0 0 195 0

Gura

We need to build up our group.

Jinho belatedly suggests a 7 person alliance

As soon as we find 7 people, we'll be invincible.

And begins recruiting people

No one will drop out.

Jinho is starting late.

I think it would be best to act like we're on his side

and avoid flocking together.

Poong alerts others about the situation with secret memos

If Jinho tries to recruit you, act like you're on the same side for now

Jinho is recruiting people now as we expected.

I better take Changyeop's chips and confuse them then.

Okay?

Let's swap our chips.

We're trading?

I'll hand them out, okay?

I'll put my trust in hyung then.

Don't worry! I have an image to maintain!

No one's in there, right?

Poong is in there so it's okay.

Ah, really?

These are Changyeop's chips. I got them from him.

Give these to Minseo.

Should I give these to Jungmoon?

Give them to Jungmoon.

Take these and hide them.

These aren't mine. They're Changyeop's.

Everyone is given three of Changyeop's chips

Okay.

I'll go ahead first.

Trust me and vote for Changyeop.

Eunji is promised immunity

You can take 2. Do you get it? / Yes.

We'll all take 3 each.

Okay? Okay.

I was just a puppet.

I was over by teacher Cha's side to check up on them.

Sure. / I'll do that then.

We'll just proceed as planned, alright?

Yeah.

Or would it be better for you to resign at the end?

Right now I'm...

Point

Okay.

Anyway...

Gura secretly formed an alliance like this

Alright.

I'm sorry. It can't be helped.

He just wanted me to join him.

He wanted to work with me.

What are they going to do? They're lacking in numbers.

I think Gura is looking into something right now.

I'm having so much fun!

He won't even talk to me today.

Yeah.

He's been alone all day today.

I was trying so hard not to get caught

that it feels like my head is about to shatter.

I'll act like I'm talking with Gura hyung and you can...

Oh, you startled me!

Teacher, I'll vote for Yuram.

Ah, you will?

Now there's no need for me to intervene.

Ah, Gura hyung is always...

I checked up on Gura hyung and he's got nothing planned.

He's just sleepy!

He hasn't thought of anything.

Jinho and Yuram began recruiting people

Election Game

after the first opinion poll.

The moment Gura completed his alliance

was a whole 60 minutes before campaigning.

In the end, the early bird catches the worm.

I'm looking at the bigger picture

so when you two see it, you'll probably be shocked!

There's our answer. The four of us were abandoned.

The more important thing

is that we're at a disadvantage now.

That side already teamed up like we were planning.

Wait, is the death match game the same?

We cannot say right now.

Let's talk then.

Who did we believe was on our side to the end?

A lot of them.

Poong.

I recruited Poong hyung

and I thought Minseo would definitely be on our side.

Teacher talked with Minseo.

Minseo came to an agreement with you, right? / Yes.

But Minseo kept telling me that she voted for you at the end.

You voted for Yuram, right?

Poong is on that side.

I know so you picked Yuram, right?

Yes.

Ah, she's a real bugger.

It's 8 vs 4

so if it's like the game that Junseok was eliminated in,

Yuram would lose no matter who she chooses.

But even if they think about who to pick,

there's a limit to what they can achieve with that.

Yeah.

We can just wait it out.

It can't be helped.

As the ruling party...

What do you mean ruling party?

We should try to help each other. / Eunji is the most at ease.

Yeah.

I'm going to try going steady with Changyeop.

Flustered

Why? Don't you want to?

No, it's a real... Honor.

But they probably wouldn't have picked Eunji unni anyway.

No, but I needed to get votes so I made a promise with nuna.

Who will play the death match?

Yuram, please pick a player without a token of life

to join you in the death match.

Uneasy

I'll go with Minseo.

Is it me again?

Yuram has chosen Minseo as her death match opponent.

Yuram has 1 garnet.

Minseo has 5 garnets.

The death match with garnets and survival on the line

will begin shortly.

I was totally spaced out.

I didn't even know I had 5 garnets.

I think you made a mistake taking so many garnets.

No, I would have picked me if I was in your shoes too

so I already knew.

No, that's not it.

I wouldn't have picked you if you hadn't taken any.

Chips?

Since she took a lot of chips.

Like the 1st round,

the 2nd death match is the Winning Streak Game.

The two of you will face off against the 10 other players

in rock, paper, scissors.

The two of you will start with the 1st player

and play rock, paper, scissors in order

to rack up a winning streak.

Even if the streak is broken partway through,

you must play against all 10 players.

After facing all 10 players,

your longest winning streak will be your score.

We will now determine the match orders of the other players.

The death match to decide your fates

will begin shortly.

Please help me.

Sunbae, I'll follow your decision.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you being like that?

Awkward

This is important.

In any case, if you just tell the people

who were loyal to you earlier

about what you'll put out...

Yeah.

Our team will probably all lose for you.

I'm just going to put out rock.

Please help me. I'm begging you.

I can't bring myself to abandon her.

How could I betray her again?

I have to give hope to Minseo too.

I want to help you as much as possible,

but you know where I'm positioned, right?

To be honest, I don't really want you to lose for both of us.

I can give you garnets if you think they'd be useful.

You should go talk to someone else instead of us.

Talk to someone else because we're all good.

I'd have a chance if our team helped me.

I'll help you.

But the thing I want to hear is that you'll lose to me

and win against Yuram.

Alright, then what will you put out?

Rock.

Okay, I'll put out scissors.

Really? / Okay.

Don't declare what you'll put out like last week.

You should just put out paper.

Use paper when you're playing against me.

What about the others?

You should fight them.

You need to face the others head on.

I want to keep my promise

to the person who stayed loyal to me.

We may only have 4 people,

but I think we should help each other to the end.

That's why I'm going to help Yuram no matter what.

It would be best for us to secure a baseline, right?

If we just convinced Changyeop, we could get 3 wins

since he's after me and before you.

Changyeop?

Come with me.

Yuram steals Changyeop away

Uneasy

Please help me. I can give you a garnet.

It looks like you didn't get many while coming 1st.

From my perspective though,

I would be losing an ally if I lost Minseo nuna.

What do you think?

We're in a similar position, right?

Me?

Neither of them were really that antagonistic towards us.

That's right.

Shouldn't we eliminate the biggest threat?

If the Election Game's alliance is maintained,

Minseo would be in a much more favorable position.

Will Yuram's 3 allies be able to

turn this unfavorable situation around?

Time is up.

We will begin the Winning Streak Game with Yuram.

Play rock, paper, scissors starting with the 1st player.

I'm the 1st player

so I hope everyone beats me if possible.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Yuram has lost.

You'll help me, right?

Will unni help me?

If we can see each other next time.

To be honest, I don't really want you to lose for both of us.

Please put out rock.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Thank you.

Rock, paper, scissors.

It is Minseo's allies Sunggyu and Sangmin's turn

Please help me. I'm begging you.

I have to give hope to Minseo too.

Relaxed

I'll trust you to the end.

Innocently to the end.

Please put out rock.

Rock, paper, scissors.

What will they decide?

Thank you.

Yuram has won 4 in a row.

Our team had the majority

so they should have stayed loyal and backed me,

but it seemed like their hearts were all leaning towards Yuram.

Please put out rock.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Yuram gets 5 straight wins!

Changyeop's turn is in an important position

Mindful

This time...

Talk to someone else because we're all good.

I would be losing an ally if I lost Minseo nuna.

You're really important to me.

You're the most important person.

Ah...

Please help me.

Oh? Why aren't you responding?

I'm sure he'll win...

Rock.

What is Changyeop's decision?

Paper.

Scissors.

Yuram has won 7 in a row.

I feel really upset and drained.

Yuram ends the game with 9 straight wins

Now it is Minseo's turn

The players who were allied with her

What will they decide?

I'm very thankful to you for working so hard for us earlier

so I hope things go well like we discussed before.

Thank you. I'll put out rock.

Sure.

Yes.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Minseo has won.

Jungmoon, we were always together, right?

I'm sure you know my situation.

Please help me.

If you want to beat me, it's scissors.

It's confusing if you do this.

If you'll gladly lose to me, please put out rock.

I'll put out paper.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Jungmoon was one of the people I trusted most,

but since Jungmoon was the first to be cagey,

I thought that it would be a lost game.

What will Minseo's fate be?

Minseo loses

Minseo has lost.

As the result has already been decided,

we will end the game.

A huge twist will be revealed shortly

Sunggyu, Sangmin, and Changyeop

were the most important people for me

so I thought if I could just win over these 3,

I might be able to win.

In a game that was thought to be already decided,

how could this have happened?

Please help me.

1 hour ago in the death match

Sunbae, I'll follow your decision.

Why are you doing this? Why are you being like this to me?

Garnets are actually very important to us.

How many garnets?

If you just gave 1 to both of us... Right?

Yes, sunbae.

Even if we just got 1 each...

Oh, really? Will that work?

From my perspective though,

I want to ask how nuna can help me going forward.

Who would benefit me the most?

That's all I could think about.

By combining with Yuram nuna,

I hope to aim for a better future.

I feel sorry to Minseo nuna though.

One garnet is a bit...

Ah.

I'll give you one more.

2?

2.

Of course I'd lose for you then.

A written promise makes its first appearance on The Genius.

Sangmin gets a written promise as well

Sangmin received 2 garnets

and completely turned the tide of the game.

Everyone thinks garnets aren't important,

but I'm certain garnets will play a big role later on

so I think the time will come where I need to rely on garnets.

My teammates were actually the ones to betray me,

while I was just used...

It's a bitter feeling.

Yes, that's it.

Minseo is eliminated in the 2nd round.

Yuram has advanced to the 3rd round

and has earned Minseo's garnets.

Minseo, please return your name tag and garnets.

That concludes today's game.

To the 11 players who survived the 2nd round,

congratulations once again on advancing to the 3rd round.

Then I will see you in the 3rd round.

The 3rd main match is the Abundance and Famine Game.

The Abundance land has 6 bread

while the Famine land has 3 bread.

You will need to choose a place to travel to.

The player to obtain the most bread will be the winner.

Now it's really about survival.

If we get greedy or form a team, we'll all die.

All 11 of us should band together and take it all.

That's nonsense. One person will get eliminated anyway.

What use is bread? They'll just end up being broken up.

Sunbae, as expected...

We can come to an agreement.

I'll have to ruin it.

I love you.

I'm an idol!

Poong will come to me later.

Poong is one of my people.

It's not like Coach Hong is an idiot.

You know how people get really evil?

That fucker.

We'll win 200%.

You could say there's no credibility.

They'll break up.

This is a game where all 11 of us have to work together.

That's just an ideal. It's meaningless.

I'm going to rain on their parade.

That's my specialty.
