(D-Day of the trip)

Off to Shanghai we go!

I'll make many great memories with my teammates.

I expect SOHEE to become my worker.

Are you aiming for a position as BOSS this time?

I'll become the BOSS.

Let's see...

- what plot twists await in Shanghai. - I'll get my revenge.

SHOTARO is sleeping in the next seat.

(Peeking)

(Dreaming of becoming the BOSS)

If I become the BOSS,

I plan on being very scary...

to make the younger teammates listen to me.

(He wants to be a scary BOSS)

I have a feeling it'll be a fun trip. We haven't had that in a while.

We're off!

(Finally leaving for Shanghai)

RIIZE's trip to fight for power...

in the martial arts capital of Shanghai.

I still can't believe we're in Shanghai.

What's this?

RIIZE has been invited to a historic house with a 100-year history.

I see carp!

(Act 1: BOSS Qualities Test)

- This is exciting! - It's Shanghai!

My gosh!

(A new journey starting in the old, historic house)

We're in Shanghai!

It's Shanghai!

(The home is filled with the elegance of the past 100 years.)

BOSS RIIZE in Shanghai!

- Is that it? - Let's do that thing.

What?

RIIZE is...

- in Shanghai! - In Shanghai!

(SOHEE got what he wanted.)

We're spending this summer in Shanghai.

What's the theme of BOSS RIIZE this season?

(Excited)

It's "SHANGHAI IMPOSSIBLE."

- "SHANGHAI IMPOSSIBLE?" - "SHANGHAI IMPOSSIBLE?"

Is it impossible?

Is it like "Mission: Impossible?"

("Mission: Impossible?")

(More like "Voting: Impossible!")

The majority will always get its way.

Voting will dictate what you do on the trip.

The true master will win votes.

(Nothing is impossible when it comes to voting!)

(Clans clash, where today's friends become tomorrow's foes)

(A fight for votes to become the BOSS)

I'll become the BOSS.

(SHOTARO, EUNSEOK, SUNGCHAN, WONBIN, SOHEE, ANTON)

(The team with the BOSS members becomes the BOSS Clan.)

(The losers become the Worker Clan by default.)

(Stay tuned to find out about the BOSS benefits.)

- Clans! - So 3-on-3?

- I've seen that in movies. - Are we in teams?

I love this.

- It's common in martial arts stories. - Right.

- We'll be in different clans. - We'll be divided.

Like the Tiger Clan and the White Tiger Clan.

So, it's a team race.

Then, it's better to join the BOSS Clan, right?

(Nobody wants to be in the Worker Clan.)

I'm joining the BOSS Clan, no matter what.

It'll definitely be better to join the BOSS Clan.

The most important thing will be to join the BOSS Clan.

I'd basically be halfway to success, as long as I'm in the BOSS Clan.

I must do everything it takes not to be in the Worker Clan.

I'll do anything the BOSS tells me.

As long as I'm not a worker.

(Betrayal is allowed.)

(Who will become a worker after all the chaos?)

(Stay tuned for the intense race among the workers!)

The first mission we've prepared is...

a group mission for lunch,

the "BOSS Qualities Test."

- "BOSS Qualities Test!" - Qualities?

- What it takes to be a BOSS! - What should we show?

Bring it on!

(There will be two BOSS Qualities Tests at the historic house.)

(Once they pass the test, they'll be served a Chinese course meal.)

(A time to test the water for each other's qualities as a BOSS)

(They'll keep taking the test until they succeed.)

(Which one of the six is the best BOSS candidate?)

Are we here?

(Climbing the stairs...)

(to the third-floor living room)

There's our poster with "BOSS RIIZE" on it.

BOSS RIIZE : SHANGHAI IMPOSSIBLE.

"BOSS Qualities Test: Memorization Skills."

- Memorization? - "Prove your worthiness as a BOSS..."

"with excellent focus and memorization skills."

"Look at 16 photos for 10 seconds..."

"and match the pairs to succeed."

You know the game where you match the pictures based on your memory?

Why don't we each remember one half of it?

We memorize the top half, and they memorize the bottom half?

Okay.

(Which BOSS candidate will shine in this round?)

Ready, go!

(The BOSS Qualities Test has begun.)

(The pictures are revealed.)

(What?)

We can't remember them in halves.

I guess it won't work that way.

Why don't we each remember one half of it?

(TARO and SUNGCHAN's plan has become futile.)

- Just remember your faces. - What?

- Time's up. - No!

- Already? - Just remember your faces.

Remember where your faces are.

- I think I get it. - I can only remember two.

Everyone must've remembered their own faces.

I'm using my fingers to remember where my face was.

I have to keep them like this.

- Has it already been ten seconds? - I must keep them this way.

(The photos have turned into numbers.)

- Wait! I can't tell where my photos are. - Okay.

- Okay, I know two pairs. - What?

Numbers 7 and 10.

(SUNGCHAN succeeds.)

(So impressed)

Numbers 5 and 14.

Oh, those!

- That's all. I only remember my photos. - You can go next.

Numbers 12 and 13.

(Desperate)

(I'll keep it safe and finish here.)

Numbers 2 and 8.

- No! - What was that?

- Numbers 2 and 15. - Wait!

(WONBIN fails to save EUNSEOK.)

- What? - What are you doing?

- Wait! - Numbers 2 and 16!

Let's discuss it first.

I have a guess!

What are you doing?

I...

Numbers 3 and 6.

Three...

(Nobody could hear ANTON's voice.)

(He had to raise his hand to ask for a chance to speak.)

ANTON!

(SOHEE heard ANTON's voice.)

(Ears ready to listen)

Me! Numbers 3 and 6.

(Did ANTON get it right after begging for that chance to speak?)

(His sharp memory is proven.)

(Giggling)

- Alright. - Are you sure?

- Numbers 8 and 9. - Numbers 8 and 9.

(SHOTARO proves his good memory again.)

- Numbers 2 and 16. - That's definitely right.

(WONBIN using his fingers again)

- That's definitely right. - We're almost done.

Alright!

(SOHEE and EUNSEOK haven't gotten anything right yet.)

- Go. - Numbers 2 and 11.

(EUNSEOK may become the only one with no points.)

(SOHEE's last-minute attempt to prove his sharp memory)

- Right on! - The last pair was numbers 4 and 15.

That was easy.

(SHOTARO and SUNGCHAN outdid themselves in proving their sharp memories.)

I knew my pair, but SOHEE spoke before me.

EUNSEOK is the only one who didn't get any.

- Did EUNSEOK not get any? - No, he didn't.

- You're meant to be a worker, then! - I got one!

Let's eat first and talk later.

Lunch time!

Do we already get our first meal?

It's Room One.

It's a course meal!

- What? Is this soy-marinated shrimp? - Soy-marinated shrimp?

What's this?

- I've never seen it. - What is it?

(Parboiled shrimp that melts in your mouth)

Silver pomfret is so good.

Boneless chicken with scallion oil.

These are some excellent dishes.

Can we eat right away?

- Yes, we can. - Really?

- Thank you. - Thank you for the feast!

Wait.

(Stopping him)

You didn't get anything right.

He can eat for now.

I just let someone else take my point.

- He'll be a worker, anyway. - Right.

- I was just being nice. - Enjoy it for now.

That's a BOSS's quality.

Think of it as your last meal.

(Taking silver pomfret with CHAN's permission)

Silver pomfret?

Why is the flesh so tender?

- Thank you. - The silver pomfret?

I love it.

It's like deep-fried fish.

It's delicious.

It's very crispy.

(Appetite up with crispy and tender silver pomfret)

You could even eat the bones.

(Listening to him and eating the bones too)

The flesh just comes right off.

I know! It's so tender that it falls off the bone.

The sauce is really tasty.

(SOHEE is taking a piece of the chicken with scallion oil.)

The chicken looks like a rolled egg omelet.

It almost feels raw.

It's like fish.

- Is it duck meat? - It's so juicy.

It's so good.

(Taking a bite)

This is our third time in Shanghai,

but it's our first time having traditional Shanghainese food.

Right.

(Everyone is busy eating with their faces in their plates.)

It's so good!

I hope the next mission is easy.

The last one was so easy.

- That was an easy mission, right? - Yes.

- Very easy. - Very.

That was the easiest mission, yet EUNSEOK didn't get anything.

(Selective noise canceling)

(Looking at EUNSEOK)

- What will you do now? - I just let SOHEE take my answer.

- What will you do, EUNSEOK? - What if you become a worker later?

I'll remember this.

Let's get to the next mission.

- Let's go! - Let's have fun.

The last mission.

"Part Two of the BOSS Qualities Test."

- "Prove your reasoning power." - That's important.

"Use your wits and reasoning power to prove your BOSS-worthiness."

"Look at the picture and its theme and guess the right answer."

- It's like Pictionary. - Pictionary!

Shall we get right to it?

- What? - What's this?

What is this?

(Theme: song title)

A song title?

(The answer is a song title?)

- What? - What could it be?

(EUNSEOK is frozen.)

- What's this? - A song title?

(They're like four turtles stretching their necks.)

Is this our song?

The lips...

(Gibberish)

They're speaking gibberish.

What are those? Grapes? Strawberries? Blueberries?

They're not blueberries either.

Could they be açaí berries?

Açaí berries?

They look like raspberries. Do you know why?

They're on a tree branch.

- Blueberries don't look like that. - Are those raspberries?

(Hint: It's four syllables.)

Four syllables?

(Did SHOTARO finally get the answer?)

SHOTARO. "Love 119."

- No, it's four syllables. - Incorrect.

"Love 119."

(What strange syllable counting!)

It's four.

- Blackberry. - Blackberry?

- Blackberry? - Blackberry?

ANTON!

(Wait!)

(I think I know this.)

- Four syllables? - Four syllables?

What four-letter words are there?

(On the tip of his tongue)

SUNGCHAN!

"ODYSSEY!"

("Odi" as in mulberry combined with "say")

It's mulberry.

- It's mulberry? - Is there a fruit named mulberry?

It was mulberry.

(I could've gotten it right.)

Okay, I pulled my weight!

- You're really carrying the team today. - You're on point.

Let's go.

(The second question)

ANTON.

It might not be our song.

ANTON. "Fly Up?"

(Good approach, but incorrect)

Wait. What's that?

Isn't that a stomach?

(What has caught everyone's eye?)

- ANTON. "Midnight Mirage." - Wrong.

- ANTON is just saying random songs. - I know.

Intestines?

- Isn't it a stomach? - Isn't a stomach an intestine?

Stomach? Or up?

(Up?)

EUNSEOK. "We Go Up."

(Did Eunseok finally get his first answer right?)

- Incorrect. - It's not correct?

(Scratching)

(Up)

- WONBIN. "Whiplash." - Correct.

("Whiplash")

Gosh!

"Whiplash."

(WONBIN's last-minute appeal succeeded.)

(The last question)

(Theme: Artist)

What's that?

(All tilting their heads)

The table is shining.

(What's the answer for this shining table?)

- It's a desk. - And it's shining.

(Answer: Yoon Sang)

- ANTON. SHINee. - Incorrect.

But it's shiny.

What could the table be?

- It's a desk. - A desk.

A desk? What kind of table shines?

Wait.

Desk, a senior artist?

What?

(What? A senior artist called Desk?)

Is there an artist named Desk?

Jackson?

- You mean Jackson? - Yes, Jackson.

(Desk? Could it be...)

Oh!

EUNSEOK. Is it Yoon Sang?

That's correct.

That's right. It's Yoon Sang!

(Father, I just realized.)

(He can't call Yoon Sang his father anymore.)

Hey, you!

- How could you? - He should be a worker.

Why is it Yoon Sang?

It's a desk that shines.

You can only guess this if you're good at Korean.

I got a point this time.

- That was a hard question. - It was hard.

My assistant.

Out of the blue?

You're getting all cocky over just one correct answer.

(The qualities test ends amid the contestants' rivalry.)

(BOSS Qualities Test: Reasoning)

"The pure taste of the season."

(Crunchy and chewy soy-braised eggplant)

(Salmon avocado salad with raspberry vinegar)

(And a special dish in small pots)

(Samgyetang with Angelica leaves)

It's a type of samgyetang.

I was really craving soup.

(Sniffing)

The broth is rich.

I bet they boiled it for at least 24 hours.

BOSS, this is called samgyetang with Angelica leaves.

Okay.

You're my assistant.

Oh, my. How should I put it?

The taste is deep.

It has a healthy aroma.

(Wiggling fingers)

It's seasoned well. It's good.

The soup is so good.

I can tell it was made with lots of care.

- It's such a delicacy. - SUNGCHAN played a big role...

in the previous test.

He understood the game's mechanism quickly.

SUNGCHAN stood out in the quiz.

SUNGCHAN?

- He was good. - You're the best, SUNGCHAN.

(Flattering to get a wedge in)

But it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a good BOSS.

(Is ANTON showing his ambition?)

(Arms crossed tight)

SUNGCHAN, I'll vote for you.

SUNGCHAN, I'm always ready to be your right-hand man.

I didn't say I wouldn't vote for you.

(Smiling)

He's a dangerous guy.

It has that umami.

EUNSEOK, are you enjoying it?

Tell me if there's anything I can help you with.

It's all right.

Are you already trying to get on EUNSEOK's good side?

But why EUNSEOK of all?

- He's just supporting me. - Right.

Didn't he betray you last year?

(Hesitant)

Considering what the members showed today,

My performance was the best.

SUNGCHAN was really good.

- I don't betray people. - I know.

Hey, I wasn't bad either.

(A satisfied smile)

- No, SUNGCHAN betrayed others before. - I did?

You betrayed WONBIN once and sided with me.

- That's right. - Oh, right.

(I remember my lifelong regret!)

(Scheming EUNSEOK is excited.)

I'm still in shock.

(BOSS voting last year)

(I'll bail you out of worker duty.)

(SUNGCHAN joined hands with EUNSEOK right before WONBIN was about to win.)

(SUNGCHAN pushed WONBIN aside and became the BOSS.)

He betrayed me.

(That day, WONBIN learned there was no one to trust.)

(This is bad.)

That's right.

What do you think?

Look forward to what's coming.

The past is just the past!

- Will we go and vote right now? - Do we go right away?

- Thank you for the good meal. - It was a great meal.

Do you want to join the BOSS Clan or the Worker Clan?

There's still a spot for me in your clan, right?

- Those two want to join the Worker Clan. - They lack ambition.

- They're too relaxed. - They are.

You two are late.

I guess you weren't desperate enough.

(Whispering among themselves)

When we were not around,

those three tried to team up.

They're scheming.

The three are up to something.

You mean boys!

(How dare you engineer a plot there?)

What were you three talking about, then?

We were chatting about what we've been up to lately.

You're curious about what the other has been up to?

If you want to know, you should side with us.

- Side with you? - Are there even sides?

Just join our side.

(Gosh!)

So, I have to join your side?

Is there anyone who doesn't want to be a worker today?

Why do you talk like you're a BOSS?

Who are you to ask that?

You're not in a position to decide that.

Do you want to be a BOSS or join the BOSS Clan?

It's very important.

Make yourself clear just with that.

- What about you, EUNSEOK? - Me?

Tell us what you want.

He must want to betray us.

What are you saying?

Who knows?

He may betray one of us again this time.

That's not a bad idea.

It would be boring if it were predictable.

(Arriving at the battleground without knowing what lies ahead)

(Fully geared up in style)

(What's the next destination at the end of the hallway?)

What's that? Gosh!

The city view.

The view is so scenic.

- Oh, it's the Oriental Pearl Tower! - Oriental Pearl Tower!

(From trendy shopping malls to buildings with 140 years of history,)

(this complex cultural space is MixC World)

We are now starting the BOSS candidate registration.

(The first candidate registration starts.)

(How to register as a BOSS candidate)

Since this is a battle between two clans,

there are only two spots for BOSS candidates.

To register, a candidate must secure two supporters.

Without two supporters, registration is impossible.

(Either become a BOSS candidate or a supporter)

(Throughout the test, they subtly revealed their true intentions.)

I build my own supporters.

(Relentless appeals and defenses with no break)

(Who will become the two BOSS candidates?)

So it's done publicly?

It's not a secret vote!

Wait, this is different from what I expected.

You thought it was a secret vote, didn't you?

(Headache)

Has anyone made up their mind?

(It's me, ANTON.)

(While the rest of the members are stuck in thought,)

(ANTON makes a move to run for BOSS?)

Come to me if you want to join the BOSS Clan.

(Hands on hips with confidence)

- You really want to run for BOSS? - You want to be a candidate?

You are ambitious.

(The first BOSS candidate)

(Just follow my lead.)

- Are there two supporters of ANTON? - Who supports ANTON?

(If he has two supporters, he'll automatically be a BOSS candidate.)

(Checking each other out)

You're really going up for him?

(Slight smile)

Wait. This was totally unexpected.

- Okay. - Seriously?

(SOHEE declares support for ANTON!)

I support him.

(I'll make you become a BOSS.)

ANTON?

(He'll definitely be the best BOSS.)

He's never become a BOSS.

- ANTON, you want to be a BOSS, right? - Of course.

(Full of desire for the BOSS position)

He's so motivated,

so I want to make him the BOSS this time.

(Launching the ANTON-for-BOSS project)

ANTON...

I recognize your willpower.

(SOHEE's choice has left someone in a dilemma.)

I...

(Nervous)

will endorse SHOTARO.

(WONBIN announces his endorsement of SHOTARO.)

Wait!

- Why? - How come?

Why?

Watch the show to find out.

- What? - Watch the show.

It was a very difficult decision,

but I'm going to become a BOSS.

(During the BOSS Qualities Test)

Becoming a BOSS so early on...

- won't make much of a difference. - No.

WONBIN has a point. It may even be bad...

to become a BOSS so early on. The BOSS wouldn't know much.

- Right. - The BOSS wouldn't have much information.

(He plans is to collect all the information early on...)

(and take things over later.)

TARO is kind,

so I doubt that he'd betray me.

I chose him as my safe option.

(Safety first)

(A clever strategy hidden behind choosing SHOTARO)

I plan on giving him a chance now and making him help with my grand plan.

I'll be the BOSS, then.

(I'll take your endorsement and step up.)

(The second candidate, SHOTARO!)

(Each candidate has one supporter!)

(Meanwhile, these two are in a pickle.)

ANTON became the first candidate,

and SHOTARO was next.

So, I...

I'm ready to endorse someone.

What?

(What? Who?)

I'll endorse you.

(I'll endorse you, SHOTARO!)

(Let's work together!)

Wait.

(Do I trust him or not?)

(You must put all your trust in me.)

(Welcome to the team!)

Good choice.

I could just feel it.

I knew I'd win today if I joined this team.

(BOSS SHOTARO's support team is complete!)

Isn't it settled, then?

He's better than TARO, who hasn't done much yet.

Opportunities only come to those who are ready.

It'll be good to help him when I can.

I'll work hard and do my best as a teammate.

(BOSS ANTON's support team is complete!)

(Which BOSS will make his team the first BOSS Clan?)

- SHO! - EUN!

WON!

- Cross! - Cross!

(Team SHOTARO)

That's weak!

They're bound to split.

- Let's see how good you are, then. - We agreed...

to have ANTON take care of everything!

- I just see a meek sheep. - No!

(Do you want to see how scary a meek sheep can get?)

You're in the frame, so please move.

I see you're very desperate to become a worker.

Don't mock us.

- Our baby boss! - Our baby boss!

(Team ANTON)

I wonder what's inside.

Is it a fight room?

(A mysterious room at the top)

What? What's this?

What? Hey!

Wait!

- What? - It's a real fight room!

(The first clan clash in Shanghai: Balloon Nightmare)

(Colorful balloons all around the room)

- I see darts. - We have to pop the balloons!

Hold up.

This is clearly going to be a race!

It's a team game.

We will now commence a team game for ballots.

It's finally begun.

Oh, my gosh!

You won.

(You must win to become the BOSS Clan!)

(The whole winning team gets two ballots!)

We can become the BOSS Clan if we win.

It's "Relay Race for Balloons."

- Okay. - Okay, I got it!

We won't go easy on you.

- We'll fight for our lives. - That's right.

(Tightening his laces)

(WONBIN, the Ulsan cheetah, is getting competitive.)

We can do it.

(How to play "Relay Race for Balloons")

There are balloons in four zones.

In the first zone, pop the balloons by sitting on them.

In the second zone, pop two balloons by stepping on them.

In the third zone, pop two balloons with the pogo stick.

Lastly, use darts...

to pop one balloon each.

The last person on the team to pop the last balloon first wins.

(Everyone starts with one ballot.)

(Who will win two ballots?)

Okay, we've basically won already.

Good work.

We're all fast!

- This is nothing. - That's right.

(A team of fast boys only)

How should we decide the order?

I'll go second.

Sure, when do you want to go?

Third.

I'll go first, then.

It's a relay, after all.

Would it be better to use my heels to pop them?

Like this.

(Popping)

How do I ride this?

(A new item, the pogo stick, has been introduced.)

(Grabbing it)

(WONBIN is following EUNSEOK.)

Like this?

(Quickly learning how to use the new item)

(The other team is taking quite a while to strategize.)

- Let's decide the order. - Yes, let's decide.

(Thinking)

ANTON, go last.

No, wait!

- He should go first. - No.

It'd be better to have ANTON pop the big balloon in Zone Three.

(Do I go first or third?)

(The baby boss is in a dilemma alone.)

The second balloon looks the hardest to aim at.

I know I'm good with darts, so I'll go second.

You can go first and finish your part quickly.

- I'll go next, then him. - Are you sure?

- Okay? - Okay.

I'll go third, then.

You don't care which color you get, right?

No, we don't.

- We'll choose green, then. - Green?

- We'll take the green ones. - Yes, green.

- Green? - We'll take green.

No, we'll take green.

(We'll take green, then.)

- Sure, we'll take yellow, then. - Let's take green.

No, yellow is better.

Yellow is better, anyway.

- Let's choose green. - Okay.

- All right, then. - First runners.

- First runners! - Who are they?

Come up.

(Zone One Runners: EUNSEOK vs. SOHEE)

Are you sure about this?

Are you scared to see me?

(Look at what I can do.)

(A performance master)

Alright, I got it now.

I'm going to go this way.

I'll go straight.

Just get ready to become a worker.

I'm 100 percent sure our dinner and beds for tonight depend on this.

Fetch me the best burgers in all of China!

Are you ready?

- Yes! - Yes!

(A decisive race for ballots)

- Let's go! - Go!

- Let's go! - Go!

(EUNSEOK is getting ahead from the start.)

(Missing his footing)

(Grabbing the chair to come back from the slip)

(Progress)

(Getting through Zone Two in no time)

Nice!

- Come on! - No!

Hold onto the chair!

What?

(What's up with this crazy bouncy balloon?)

Use more force! Come on!

(No matter how much force he adds,)

(the immortal balloon is going strong.)

(Doubting their eyes)

Hold onto the chair!

Hold onto the chair!

Hold the chair!

Hold onto the chair.

(Finally succeeding)

(Finally leaving Zone One after endless attempts)

(EUNSEOK has entered Zone Three.)

Wait!

(An unsuccessful docking on the pogo stick)

(Just wait, I'll catch up to him!)

(Too bouncy)

(He's encountered another immortal balloon.)

It won't pop!

(Pleading)

(Too stunned to speak)

Why is he so weak?

(A total mess)

What are you doing? Clean up after yourself!

(Put the flying balloon back in their spots!)

(Meanwhile, EUNSEOK is ready on the pogo stick.)

(Screaming)

(Progress)

(Shouting)

Nice!

(Power, aim, and speed on point)

(Leaving SOHEE behind and running to Zone Four)

(The second runner, WONBIN, is ready.)

(Anxious)

(Target acquired.)

(The dart missed the balloon by a hair.)

Take your time, EUNSEOK!

(SOHEE is still stuck in the balloon nightmare.)

Put your foot on the balloon first!

- Don't be scared! - Put your foot on it!

- Don't be scared! Be a man! - Put your foot on it!

Put your foot on it first.

Put your foot on it first!

SOHEE!

(Desperately calling his name)

Oh, goodness.

(He cleared two.)

(EUNSEOK is done in Zone Four.)

- Come on! - Go!

(Passing the imaginary baton)

Go!

(Team SHOTARO has introduced the delivery service.)

Don't get scared!

(Please, SOHEE!)

(The chaser)

Hurry!

(The one being chased)

- Right on. - We won!

(SOHEE is finally at the darts.)

I got it!

(First immediate success)

Go!

(The second runner, Strong SUNGCHAN, is off.)

(Delivery)

(Unsuccessful)

(A mistake at a critical time)

(WONBIN is getting even further away.)

Go!

(WONBIN can pop balloons in one shot.)

Okay, go!

(Please, SUNGCHAN!)

(We'll win at this rate!)

(Getting the balloon spot-on)

We've won.

(SHOTARO, the final runner, is up.)

(SUNGCHAN is catching up at a scary rate.)

(I'll wait for you here.)

(SUNGCHAN has entered the last zone!)

(What?)

Where's our yellow balloon?

Where did our yellow balloon go?

Here!

Our yellow balloon is gone!

(Let's rewind.)

(One person is excitedly entering Zone 4 after clearing Zone 3.)

(He popped a yellow balloon instead of a green one.)

(That's led to huge confusion.)

- The green ones are ours, right? - Yes.

Why has our yellow balloon popped?

Oh, no. My heart is pounding!

(They'll have a rematch as a result of WONBIN's mistake.)

- I was legendary. - I know!

I finished everything in almost one go.

Why don't we start from that side this time?

(What? You're changing the starting point?)

When the first runner reaches the starting point,

- the second runner starts from there. - So, they're handing off the baton?

- That sounds even harder. - It does!

Okay.

It's fun since it's a physical game.

(Rules upgraded)

(Run to Zone 1 added. Hand off the baton upon arrival.)

I knew I'd be at a disadvantage in this game.

(A sad encounter of a wobbly butt and an invincible balloon)

You have to keep your hands on the chair,

and don't let your butt bounce off.

You have to push it down.

(A special lesson for wobbly SOHEE)

- Wasn't I also too light for that, right? - No, you did it well.

- Because my butt is pointy? - That's right.

Did you feel the difference in skill?

- You guys are way too light. - You are too light.

In the end, we always catch up.

You have to stay humble.

If this were the main game, you'd be on dinner duty tonight.

You're anxious, aren't you?

Are you nervous?

No fouls allowed!

He's ahead of the starting line!

(False start detected)

- Look at him. - Fine.

You're also past the starting line with your shoe.

You can't false start!

He started a step late!

(Reaction time: 0.1 seconds)

Hold the chair. That's it!

(Bouncing)

(Is his nightmare coming back?)

(Anxiety sets in.)

(Adjusting the location)

(Gathering all his strength, heave-ho!)

Right. Push it down.

(And a runaway train is charging forward fiercely.)

There you go! That's it!

Yes!

(Different reactions in the same space)

(The unstoppable runaway train)

He's completely steady!

(Will he hit the dart on the first try?)

(Goodbye, guys.)

(Eyes rolling)

(Fail)

(Immediate second attempt)

Oh, no.

(Fail)

(Now is a chance.)

That's it. Push it down.

(Dynamic)

(Please!)

(He conquered the magical balloons.)

(I'm going for it at one go.)

Nice!

(Finally, the moment of reunion with EUNSEOK)

(Pulling ahead by a hair)

(The Ulsan cheetah is charging.)

(Come on, SOHEE!)

(Trembling)

(Success)

(The second runner, SUNGCHAN, starts.)

SHOTARO, let's go! Oh, no.

(Giggling)

Thank you!

(WONBIN and SUNGCHAN face each other in Zone 1.)

(Speed vs. power)

(Only one balloon left.)

(Is he about to meet the magical balloon?)

Do it harder!

(Good! No rush!)

(Using all his strength)

(Smashing)

(Mesmerizing footwork with both legs)

(SUNGCHAN is chasing right behind.)

(The gap seems to close, yet never does.)

That's it!

(WONBIN picks up a dart.)

(Remember, it's green balloons.)

(Fail)

(Immediate second attempt, fail)

- It's okay. - Relax.

- (But he can't relax - at SUNGCHAN's powerful sound.)

Let's go!

(How will these two's race turn out?)

Take your time.

We can catch up!

(WONBIN threw his dart first.)

(Hitting the mark)

Okay!

(SHOTARO, the last runner, starts.)

- I got slow at the end. - It's all right.

(Off I go to secure the victory.)

(SHOTARO's run in Zone 1 began.)

(SUNGCHAN finished Zone 4 too.)

(ANTON's first run)

(I've never felt like this before.)

(Excited for his first race)

Hold out there!

Hang in there, ANTON!

Pop it! Pop it harder.

(Progress)

(Popping two balloons in a row)

(Neck and neck)

(Shotaro narrowly takes the lead.)

Okay!

ANTON!

(The race of the boss candidate with his pride on the line)

(Bursting with one leg)

Just pop it away.

(Missing the target)

(The baby boss's Shanghai twist)

(Bursting into laughter)

(The ultimate evolution of the magic balloon)

(Wobbling)

You can take your time now, SHOTARO.

(Three balloons left.)

(Two balloons left.)

(One balloon left.)

(The last balloon will determine their fate.)

(ANTON arrived at Zone 3.)

(The distance is far from reassuring.)

(After a deep breath)

(No way!)

Pop it!

(Pop it, and you'll be a boss!)

(Blowing air)

(I'll be there in no time.)

(Throwing hard toward the boss title!)

(If it pops, the game is over.)

(Team SHOTARO wins the first battle for ballots.)

(Screaming)

(Team ANTON's single, piercing scream)

That was close.

(We won!)

(Joyful, sorrowful)

We could play this match five more times.

I knew it from the beginning.

It's just a bit disappointing.

We're not disappointed, though?

(Balloon Battle for Ballots)

It's been a while since seeing these.

(Team SHOTARO awarded six ballots.)

(With lots of ballots, they're brimming with confidence.)

We have only 3, while they have 6.

(Thin yet precious ballot)

(It's very unfavorable for Team ANTON.)

It was the same last year.

I always end up losing what I could win.

This time, SOHEE failed to pop some of the balloons in one go.

SUNGCHAN made a few mistakes with the darts.

I think I cleared my part pretty quickly,

but in the end, I lost, which was really disappointing.

(Bitter)

(This supporter of ANTON is getting conflicted.)

So, there are only two candidates.

(The upgraded ballots for the boss)

Pick one of the two.

(You can only vote for one of the candidates.)

(Boss SHOTARO vs. Boss ANTON)

(For which candidate would you cast your ballot?)

We'll go for this one, right?

Of course.

(We'll vote for SHOTARO, right?)

Our team was wonderful.

EUNSEOK and WONBIN supported me.

I trust WONBIN because he'll choose the one who'll benefit him.

But I'm not sure about EUNSEOK yet.

(He can't stop thinking about EUNSEOK's two votes.)

We can't be split up, got it?

I can even open my votes to everyone.

I'll pick you without worrying much.

The first boss election will be held now.

(The polling station is back in Shanghai.)

I'm going in.

(Candidate ANTON strides in confidently.)

(Caught off instead)

Hopefully, he won't do anything strange,

like suddenly voting for SHOTARO.

(With a smile, ANTON casts his first vote.)

(Dreaming of becoming a kind boss, he voted for himself.)

What's there to take so long for? Hurry up!

(A timid act of defiance)

(Will SHOTARO be the boss, anyway?)

(The next voter, SUNGCHAN)

(He's still the lighthouse of RIIZE.)

Since it's come to this...

(I'll trust you to the end, ANTON!)

Loyalty!

ANTON is in a bit of a grim situation.

(Will SOHEE change his mind and vote for SHOTARO?)

(See you soon.)

(Tapping ANTON's shoulder)

(Uneasy, yet smiling)

(Complicated feelings)

(Everyone buzzes at ANTON's supporter's shift in loyalty.)

The vote might end up 5 to 1.

Thank you for your vote!

Thanks for the breakfast tomorrow.

He changes as soon as he gets the power.

There's no way he'll give both votes to himself, right?

Of course, I will.

I'll keep today's vote simple.

I cast one safely.

I don't think I'll end up as a worker this time.

(Will things go according to WONBIN's plan?)

EUNSEOK, just vote for SHOTARO safely.

Now, it's time for a twist.

(Following SUNGCHAN's gaze,)

(there's Strategic EUNSEOK, the icon of betrayal.)

(What's really going on in their suspicious conversation?)

(30 minutes ago, on the bus)

- Let's vote for SHOTARO. - Isn't it too obviously weak?

Should we three team up?

(A bus alliance was formed in an instant.)

What can we do, then?

We should make EUNSEOK betray his team.

(Will the betraying EUNSEOK return?)

EUNSEOK is the one who can make a dramatic twist.

I'll make this guy become a boss and join the BOSS clan.

(Off EUNSEOK goes with great ambitions.)

(Show the loyalty of the bus alliance!)

(Who will EUNSEOK vote for?)

(Laughing)

Great.

(Sensing something off about him)

EUNSEOK?

(I trust you made the right choice.)

(Who did EUNSEOK's two votes go to?)

(EUNSEOK's moves are impossible to identify.)

You voted properly, didn't you?

(It's bothering him.)

No way.

You know how hard I ran for my lord.

(Which lord does EUNSEOK serve, then?)

(RIIZE's Choices 2025)

We will now count the votes.

(The vote counting for the first BOSS election has begun.)

(Who will become the first BOSS in Shanghai?)

The first vote goes to ANTON.

(ANTON takes the first vote.)

- The second vote goes to ANTON. - Loyalty!

(SUNGCHAN also voted for ANTON!)

(Unable to hide his smile after getting two consecutive votes)

ANTON!

(Perfect, it's going as planned!)

(Starting to get nervous)

The third vote goes to ANTON.

- ANTON. - What?

(It's ANTON again?)

EUNSEOK!

(Avoiding eye contact)

(Is this my body telling me there's been a betrayal?)

It's okay, TARO.

Next, SHOTARO.

(He won two votes by voting for himself.)

SHOTARO.

Just one!

(Getting ahead, all thanks to WONBIN!)

Right on.

Let's stay loyal.

(Waiting for the last two ballots from EUNSEOK)

EUNSEOK, join me.

(EUNSEOK's votes will decide the BOSS.)

I don't need to become the BOSS, as long as I'm in his clan.

I'm a kingmaker.

But I also take credit.

(Who will the BOSS maker choose as the first BOSS?)

(BOSS ANTON vs. BOSS SHOTARO)

Two for SHOTARO.

(EUNSEOK voted for SHOTARO!)

(SHOTARO becomes the first BOSS.)

(Disappointed)

(The baby boss dreamed of a happy dream that fleeted away.)

(The Hall of BOSSES: SHOTARO, the first BOSS)

(The BOSS maker is behind him.)

I planned to increase the vote difference...

for more confidence.

I plan on distancing myself from the workers as much as possible.

Workers, good luck with your work.

I'll just sit and relax.

- Have fun cooking, you three! - Okay.

You've changed completely.

How can you become a different man?

Have fun cooking, you three!

This will bite you back big time, buddy.

- I think he wants to do the dishes. - Oh, my!

I hope you sleep well together.

Do you want to share one bed among the three of you?

Are we sure about this?

(The first BOSS Clan)

(The first Worker Clan)

We will now announce the BOSS Clan's benefit.

(Very excited)

The three members of the BOSS Clan...

can run as candidates in the next BOSS election.

(Eyes widening at the possibility of becoming BOSS candidates)

(New candidates have been registered as the second BOSS candidates by default.)

(SHOTARO, EUNSEOK, WONBIN)

No way.

(So happy to hear the BOSS Clan benefit)

Wait! So much has changed!

Does that mean the three can take turns to be BOSSes?

(We'll only get BOSSes from the former BOSS Clans, then.)

- Hey. - Yes?

Let's keep it among ourselves.

(Let's share the BOSS title among us the whole time!)

(Hogging the BOSS rights)

No, BOSS RIIZE is full of plot twists!

- My goodness! - Keep in mind that we're BOSS candidates.

We're all next BOSS candidates.

SHOTARO, since you're the BOSS,

you get the newest BOSS phone and watch.

The BOSS watch?

- BOSS watch? - What?

(What's a BOSS watch?)

- It's the newest model. - What?

- Wait. - Let me see it!

A BOSS watch!

(The BOSS item award ceremony)

(He can make unlimited transactions throughout the trip.)

(The BOSS item package, which can be synced with the watch)

(From purchasing meals for his teammates...)

(to visiting the famous tourist spots across Shanghai,)

(he can do anything as he pleases.)

(Getting food delivery anywhere, anytime is a bonus!)

(The BOSS item to give him absolute power)

Please be sure not to lose anything.

(He must not lose anything, as they're proof of the BOSS status!)

We're eating out tonight!

Have fun eating at home!

This is fun!

(You lose if you get jealous.)

- It's the newest model. - The BOSS phone!

Isn't that the newest model?

- Yes, it is. - It is!

The BOSS RIIZE logo!

(A celebratory victory selfie for the BOSS Clan)

(The power of being the first BOSS Clan is exhilarating.)

The BOSS Clan and the Worker Clan...

will head to the next destinations separately.

Are we going to different places?

(Getting a headache)

Or are we just taking different modes of transportation?

Maybe they'll go in rickshaws!

(Eyes panicking at the talk of rickshaws)

Workers, wrap it up!

Our king of workers!

- The king of workers! - All right.

(The saddest title possible, "the king of workers")

It may be a snake, but you're the head, at least.

(The king of workers in the battlefield of voting)

Wrap up the shot!

- In 1, 2, 3. - You're the king!

I know what BOSS RIIZE is about.

I'm sure you've prepared another fun mission.

(The fun mission has been revealed.)

Oh, my gosh!

(What's the mission that's even left the BOSS surprised?)

You will prepare a spy mission.

(You're the spy, chosen by the BOSS.)

(You're the spy for the BOSS.)

(BOSS SHOTARO)

The BOSS will choose one of the workers as his spy.

(He will deliver a mission to the spy in secret.)

When the spy succeeds with the mission,

he can kick out one BOSS Clan member and join the BOSS Clan himself.

Who would be fun to recruit?

(Writing the spy mission)

(BOSS SHO will deliver the spy mission himself.)

Come in.

(The spy chosen by BOSS SHO)

Yes, BOSS.

Worker One has arrived.

(The first spy, SUNGCHAN)

Why do you think you're here?

(Confused)

Why, BOSS?

You're...

the only one...

I've chosen...

(Chosen?)

as my spy.

(BOSS SHO names SUNGCHAN as his spy.)

(The spy news is like rain in a drought.)

Here's your mission.

Read it.

You've been chosen by the BOSS.

(A chance to climb the ladder at his fingertips)

You and I are the only ones who know about this mission.

(A secret just between the two!)

Am I the only spy?

Yes.

If you succeed with this mission,

you can join the BOSS Clan.

But you'll have to kick one person out of my clan.

(One BOSS Clan member will join the Worker Clan!)

There's one person I really want to send to the Worker Clan.

(He already knows who that is.)

Why is everything so funny today?

I find them so funny.

- The workers. - This...

(Something smells sweet!)

Try it.

Are you sure you can eat that as a worker?

You're just a worker.

(The upper-class men are having a blast.)

Let's get serious.

(A helpless deer hiding from the predators)

But you're not the BOSS.

Aren't you just one of his supporters?

Sorry, but aside from TARO,

nobody has any privilege.

He wouldn't even give ice cream to the workers!

He said workers didn't deserve ice cream!

One person is going around, acting like the BOSS...

when he isn't even the BOSS himself!

I'll do my best to make him end up...

in the Worker Clan.

I'll be your loyal spy.

Good luck.

I suddenly feel all better now.

I was really sad earlier.

It's a dopamine burst!

It's over for you guys.

I'll kick out both of you.

- Let's go now. - Okay.

Shouldn't the workers take the bus?

(Looking around)

- Where do we go? - Take this.

- This? - Yes.

(Laughing)

Are we really taking this?

(A cab for the Worker Clan)

A cab?

This is mean!

(The BOSS Clan will take...)

(a luxury car.)

There are even snacks inside!

(A special privilege for the BOSS Clan, a snack pack)

(Applauding)

Good work.

(It's finally starting!)

(Mad at EUNSEOK)

This is our class.

It's cooler to take the cab, though.

Lucky you! You get to ride a cab in a new country.

I know. I've always wanted to try it.

A cab isn't so bad.

- It's not bad. - As long as we're not walking.

- Do you want to swap? - We have it better.

- It's so spacious! - Can all three of us fit?

(One)

(Two)

(Three)

(Everyone is crammed in the cab.)

I really didn't see this coming.

I didn't think we'd go separately.

We've been in that van.

When else would we get to ride a cab in China?

I didn't know it'd take an hour, though.

One hour?

(His determination to succeed as a spy is rising.)

I'm so mad.

They can sleep in a cab tonight.

(What will happen in the cars?)

Seeing them happy...

makes me...

so mad!

(Desire for betrayal coming to a boil in the cab)

- You guys are sleeping in a tent tonight. - We're sleeping in a tent?

Wait. Is it really a tent?

- Of course. It's for the workers. - We're serious.

(They're not kidding.)

(Aggression against oppression is intensifying.)

(A cooking contest for ballots has begun.)

(So determined to win the ballots)

No matter what happens, I'm dragging him down.

Do you still think you're a team?

You can go ahead and hit rock bottom.

Wait!

(A new plot twist has begun.)

(Revealing the spy mission)

(Will we witness a big plot twist unfold?)

(Subtitles are provided by KOCOWA.)
