For this week...

(Group battle evaluation)

(A competition between two groups that chose the same song)

(Everyone in the winning group will receive 1,000 votes as a benefit.)

(1st to 58th will survive.)

(59th to the last trainees will be released.)

("Love Whisper" by Group One and Group Two)

(Final Result)

(Group Two wins.)

(Followed by "Peek-A-Boo" by Group One and Group Two)

I'm worried about my voice.

The only thing I can do right now...

is to sing the best I can...

in this given condition.

(Trainee Jang Gyu Ri makes a mistake.)

(Result Announcement Zone)

(Final Result)

I failed to keep the center as a main vocal.

I felt so bad that I couldn't watch it.

I'm scared.

There were so many of Gyu Ri's fans.

There were many placards.

I was thinking, "I lost. I'm ruined."

Since there's a big gap in popularity,

I feel like I'm going to lose.

(What would the voting results be?)

We were really good.

(20 minutes ago)

("Peek-A-Boo" by Group One)

They need to be in sync.

Jurina has good pronunciation.

My goodness.

She doesn't have a good voice condition.

Amazing.

What do you think?

No. Absolutely no.

Such a bummer.

I'm proud of her for not giving up.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Can I have some water please?

Good job.

My gosh. I was terrible.

It's such a bummer.

I'm mad at myself.

I'm mad at myself.

I've never sang high pitch all day long.

I wasn't aware how much...

that strains my voice.

My voice condition got terrible.

Next is "Peek-A-Boo" by Group Two.

Please come up.

If Group Two impresses us...

- without making a mistake, - As long as Ye Ji impresses us...

It will be an unexpected twist.

Group One went out of tune,

but they have outstanding appearance...

and many popular members.

I was discouraged...

and felt pressured.

I'm a bit worried.

(What were Group Two's practices like?)

(Group Two seems depressed.)

(What happened to "Peek-A-Boo" Group Two?)

(Dance class for "Peek-A-Boo")

(Trainee Shitao Miu keeps making mistakes.)

Group Two...

needs a lot of practice.

So far, Group One is likely to win.

Group One is likely to win.

7, 8...

("Peek-A-Boo" trainees learn detailed choreography.)

1 more time. 5, 6, 7, 8.

Why are you crying, Miu?

What's the matter?

I'm upset.

I'm mad at myself for being unable to catch up.

It makes me cry.

I'm causing other members trouble.

(Group Two trainees gathered after the dance class.)

We didn't get a compliment,

but I don't want you to blame yourself.

I was grateful to everyone.

You can do it.

This?

Their bright energy cheered me up.

I feel better now.

I want everyone to cooperate and try our best.

(Vocal class for "Peek-A-Boo")

Trainee Ye Ji is the main vocal?

Any questions?

I was wondering if it'd be weird...

to sing the ad-lib part in the back in falsetto.

(Trainee Hong Ye Ji sang in falsetto.)

It's not weird, but it will make a comparison.

"Group One sang in original voice, but Group Two's in falsetto."

(She practices in the dorm.)

Gosh.

Can Gyu Ri sing this in her original voice?

I think she can.

Do you sing in falsetto?

Yes. I'm scared.

I'm scared of going off tune when I sing in my original voice.

I have to practice with confidence.

Group Two standby.

(Dress rehearsal before the group battle evaluations)

If you're worried about...

going off tune now,

it will mess up with you psychologically.

Don't worry about going off tune. Just sing.

You need more confidence.

The high pitch part gives me pressure.

One mistake...

ruins all my effort so far.

But since I tried hard,

I'll prove that "Peek-A-Boo" Group Two is...

stronger in actual game than in rehearsal.

It was very awkward until yesterday.

Their looks and stuff on the stage.

Good luck.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

("Peek-A-Boo" by Group Two)

How cute.

(Kato Yuuka)

- She's doing good. - Ye Ji's doing good.

- I see that she's not nervous. - I know.

It's the unexpected twist of Class F.

(Kato Yuuka)

She winked.

- That was amazing. - What?

That was such a twist.

I'm surprised at Ye Ji.

Ye Ji's meant to be on the stage.

Totally.

Trainee Matsui Jurina in Group One.

Which group do you think has done better honestly?

What?

Japanese people do that.

They go like, "What?"

Are you asking me that question?

Which one would it be?

Group One?

Trainee Shitao Miu in Group Two.

Can you tell me how you felt?

Wait.

That's cute.

I won't look back.

I'll run looking forwards.

Now, it's time to vote.

Vote for your girl.

My goodness.

- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

The vote is closed.

(Group battle evaluation on-site vote is closed.)

Unlike from what we expected,

I think Group Two will win.

I think Group One will win.

Even though Group One went off tune...

- They have the aura. - Yes.

(Result Announcement Zone)

(They check the results of on-site vote.)

(What would the voting results be?)

I have no idea.

(Group One, Group Two)

Since there's a big gap in popularity,

I feel like I'm going to lose.

(Group One, Group Two)

(Wang Yi Ren: 54, Kim Yoo Bin: 40)

(Wang Yi Ren: 54)

(Wang Yi Ren of Yue Hua wins, Kim Yoo Bin of CNC loses.)

(Matsui Jurina, Kato Yuuka)

If we were in Japan, Jurina would definitely win...

by big gap since she's popular.

I wanted to win because this is Korea.

(Matsui Jurina: 110, Kato Yuuka: 102)

(Matsui Jurina: 110, Kato Yuuka: 102)

What now?

Please.

(Bae Eun Young: 28, Shitao Miu: 116)

(Shitao Miu: 116)

(Bae Eun Young of Stone Music loses, Shitao Miu of AKB48 wins.)

That's amazing, Miu.

Ka Eun already debuted,

and she was in the center.

I thought I was going to lose.

(Lee Ka Eun, Lee Yoo Jung)

(Lee Ka Eun: 74, Lee Yoo Jung: 98)

(Group One, Group Two)

Gyu Ri had a ton of fans in the audience.

There were so many banners with her name on,

so I kept telling myself, "I lost. I'm doomed."

That was all I could think.

(Group One, Group Two)

I didn't think I did a good enough job as the lead vocalist.

I felt so bad that I couldn't even face the team members.

(Jang Gyu Ri, Hong Ye Ji)

- Why? - What?

(Jang Gyu Ri: 78, Hong Ye Ji, 92)

(Jang Gyu Ri: 78, Hong Ye Ji, 92)

- Why? - What?

(Jang Gyu Ri: 78, Hong Ye Ji, 92)

I wondered if there was an error with the result.

(Final Result, Group One: 348 votes, Group Two: 474 votes)

(Group Two wins.)

("Peek-A-Boo" Group Two receives 1,000 extra votes as a benefit.)

I didn't do a good job, and even the members were affected by it.

I felt so bad.

Now, we'll watch performances of AOA's song, "Short Hair",

which will melt all National Producers' hearts.

(Group One and Two performing "Short Hair" enter the stage.)

(Cheetah has short hair too.)

My, look at those legs.

They have such nice legs.

2, 3.

- Hello! - Hello!

Dear National Producers.

- We're coming for you - We're coming for you

- We're High Class. - We're High Class.

- 1, 2, 3. Hello! - Hello!

- Sneak a peek! - Sneak a peek!

Just one look at us is...

- enough to charm you. - Enough to charm you.

- We're Sneak a Peek. - We're Sneak a Peek.

- Enjoy our performance! - Enjoy our performance!

This team is very popular.

But we never know who's going to win until the very end.

(What were Group One's practices like?)

Group One, let's see it.

Hey.

Goodness.

- Juri. - Yes.

She wanted to be in the center, and you girls must've agreed to it.

Yes.

It doesn't seem like she knows what she's doing at all.

She doesn't even have the moves memorized.

Do it again. Count each beat.

Hey.

Girls, do it again.

What was that about? Are the legs supposed to create a domino effect?

What was that about? A domino effect?

Do it again.

Again.

I'm sorry.

Again.

Again. Do it again.

Again. Do it again.

I felt so bad about making the entire team anxious.

Juri, I'm sorry, but...

Yes?

You're doing such a bad job at the moment.

You have the center position, but...

This will hurt your feelings, but I have no choice. With Juri there,

you girls will have a problem.

(Group One has a meeting.)

First off,

I think...

I wondered if I had been doing a terrible job as the team leader.

I was also very worried about how upset Juri must be.

I think...

I want to improve and overcome my shortcomings,

but it's a group battle,

and I want our team to win.

I thank you girls for giving me this opportunity, but we should...

change the positions in order to win.

I didn't do a good job even though I had been...

practicing a lot, so I was upset about that.

We're going to pick a new center member.

I think we really have to show Trainer Yoon Jung...

a big difference next time she checks in on us.

Then let's vote.

- We're going to vote. - Okay.

One.

Two.

Three!

"Short Hair". Please enter.

Let's go. Let's go!

I hope this team does the best job.

Who's in the center?

- Who's that? - The center...

Isn't it Shi Hyun?

(Does Group One have a different member for the center position?)

Then let's vote.

I actually...

I actually...

keep thinking that Juri suits the center position...

from what I've seen so far.

I also think that she'll get better with practice.

No, Juri.

- Juri, please don't cry. - Don't cry.

Why are you crying?

It's okay.

It must be so hard for her.

She had to learn a song she had never heard before...

and even got the center position.

- Exactly. - My heart goes out to her.

I think Juri will be incredibly upset and discouraged...

if she has to give up the center position like this.

You can do it!

- Don't cry. - Go, Juri!

I felt bad for inconveniencing the team members so much,

and I was grateful to them for being so understanding.

(Takahashi Juri got another chance to shine as the center of the team.)

1, 2, 3, 4.

1, 2, 3, 4.

They kept teaching me and encouraging me,

which I sincerely appreciate.

I'll do my best to get good results by showing everyone how much...

I've improved on stage so that I can thank the members.

("Short Hair" by Group One)

- Nice. - Oh, my.

They're good.

Yu Ri is good.

(Yu Ri)

Yu Ri is good. I like her a lot. I really do.

I could only see her.

I've liked her from the get-go.

She's a good dancer too.

Now, we'll watch Group Two's performance...

of AOA's song, "Short Hair".

At first, I didn't think it was that big of a deal,

but I really felt it when we were choosing the center member.

The fact that you're not from here can be a hindrance.

Well, I don't even know what to do.

This one.

(Dance class for "Short Hair")

(Members of Group Two don't have all the dance moves memorized.)

What's this line here?

Stop! The lines are all over the place.

Your moves aren't in synch at all. It can't be worse than this.

I thought each of you were doing your own thing.

How can your teamwork be this bad when you have been practicing?

Have the six of you been practicing hard? Altogether?

We didn't get to practice the dance together a lot as a team.

Korean trainees focused on practicing the choreography,

while we, Japanese trainees, focused on memorizing the lyrics.

That's why we didn't really...

get to practice together a lot.

(Vocal and rap class for "Short Hair")

I don't have much to say about your vocal abilities...

as we didn't get to hear it properly.

I'll cut my hair short before meeting you

Will you sing it like this?

I'll cut my hair short before meeting you

Or will you sing it like this?

You need to decide on it because it's too all over the place now.

You girls aren't close, right?

(You girls aren't really friends, right?)

I thought, "They can see it."

"It's my fault because I'm the team leader."

I kept beating myself up like that.

I'm really worried.

But it's true. We can become a lot closer,

but we're definitely not there yet.

- You're right. - Yes, it is so true.

We haven't really opened up to each other yet.

We should open up to each other...

and try to have conversations.

I think we have to.

It's not like we don't want to get closer to each other.

The problem is that there's a language barrier.

I'll try harder.

No, it's okay. I'll work harder to learn Japanese.

I think we all have to be more proactive and get closer.

I hope we can build our teamwork and give a great performance.

- All right. - All right.

Gosh, we were scolded so harshly today.

I get really upset whenever we get negative feedback.

We've been getting scolded at every lesson,

and it really upsets me.

Sian has been single-handedly leading the team.

We want to support her and help her build our teamwork.

We can do it.

- Yes! - Go, team.

(Members of Group Two encourage each other.)

- It'll be a dramatic performance. - A dramatic performance.

Let's do it.

I made this so that you can remember the moves and their sequence.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

We got to understand each other, and we have a new mindset now.

Things have gotten so much better.

We'll be sure to show you how much we've changed and improved.

Group Two, be on standby.

- These girls worry me the most. - This team is the problematic one.

Good luck, girls.

Personally, I think...

Group Two's performance was much more stable. It was good.

From your pronunciation and teamwork to your dance formation...

- It was pretty good. - Thank you.

- Just keep practicing hard. - Okay.

- Thank you. - I told you that you'd get better.

- Thank you! - Good work, girls.

- I'm so grateful. - I'm getting teary-eyed.

We were craving compliments as we had always been scolded.

We wanted to be complimented as a team...

because we had been focusing on improving our teamwork.

- Your pronunciation was good. - Great job.

- Don't cry, Mina. - Mina.

It made us think that we can do this.

I really hope that a miracle happens.

Group Two may win if they do as well as they did yesterday.

("Short Hair" by Group Two)

Oh, nice!

Their pronunciation is good.

They need to let it all out.

Sian definitely knows how to look at the camera.

She surprised all of us.

That was good.

- I'm proud of them. - Me too.

The trainers here think that Group Two outdid Group One,

but we have no idea how many votes they'll get.

Good work.

- My gosh. - Great work, everyone.

I really hope a miracle happens.

(Result Announcement Zone)

(They check the results of on-site vote.)

- No. - I'm scared.

- We can do this. - Please.

(Group One, Group Two)

- My gosh. - Sian!

- Gosh! - I'm so nervous.

I thought, "I must survive."

I'm so nervous.

I kept telling myself that we had to win.

(What would the voting results be?)

(Group One, Group Two)

(Jo Yu Ri: 152, Lee Sian: 148)

My gosh, they both got so many votes.

I received a lot more votes than I had expected,

so I was surprised,

but it made me very proud and happy at the same time.

Sadly, I lost by a margin of just four votes,

but it gave me conviction that we could hope...

to win the battle.

(Kim Min Seo: 26, Imada Mina: 36)

Please.

(Kim Shi Hyun: 64, Hasegawa Rena: 50)

It's okay. Don't worry. You did very well.

(Yoo Min Young: 28, Ahn Ye Won: 16)

It's okay.

(Kojima Mako: 120, Matsuoka Natsumi: 90)

(Takahashi Juri)

I don't feel confident.

I don't know what to think.

(Group One, Group Two)

(Takahashi Juri: 52)

I think that it'll be my fault if we don't win.

(Takahashi Juri: 52)

(Final Result)

(They will use the average score to determine the winner.)

- I can't look. - I know, right?

My heart is beating so fast.

Gosh.

This is killing me.

Oh, my gosh.

(Final Result)

(Group One: 73.7 votes, Group Two: 68.0 votes)

(Group One wins.)

(Group 1, Group 2)

Look at the extra points.

("Short Hair" Group One receives 1,000 extra votes as a benefit.)

I felt uncomfortable...

when people said that we can do it since I was the center member.

I think that I met some really great team members.

It was only thanks to them that I was able to make it this far.

I'm seriously filled with thanks toward the members of my team.

The next team we will be introducing to the stage...

will be performing a song that Trainer Bae Yoon Jung choreographed.

This is by a group that established themselves...

as one of Asia's greatest girl groups.

We will now be watching cover performances of "Mamma Mia" by Kara.

I'm really looking forward to "Mamma Mia".

Will the two groups that will be battling it out...

by performing "Mamma Mia" please come to the stage?

(Groups One and Two performing "Mamma Mia"...)

(for the group battle evaluation make their way onstage.)

In 1, 2, 3.

- Hello. - Hello.

- We're Eyeshadow. - We're Eyeshadow.

- We will paint... - We will paint...

the hearts of National Producers with many different colors!

We will dye your hearts...

- with our colors! - With our colors!

They're so cute.

"We will dye your hearts!"

It felt like I was watching a Japanese commercial just now.

- Hello! We are... - Hello! We are...

- Oh, My Gosh, What Do We Do? - Oh, My Gosh, What Do We Do?

- Trainee Park Min Ji of Group One. - Yes?

How does it feel to be back onstage for a group battle evaluation...

after doing it once on Season One?

I thought that I wouldn't be as nervous since I've done this before,

but I think I'm actually more nervous this time.

We've worked really hard...

so we'll work hard to show you a good performance.

All right, we will now...

hear a statement from each team before the performances.

Trainee Nakanishi Chiyori from Group One.

Yes?

What a surprise! You mean me?

She's so cute.

I definitely won't lose!

I'll work hard!

We really want to win! Let's do this!

- Let's do this! - Let's do this!

Now we will be meeting the two groups...

that will be doing powerful performances of "Mamma Mia" by Kara.

It's showtime!

(What were Group One's practices like?)

How do I sing this part? Sing it for me.

Don't stop

This year, I want to be acknowledged for my singing ability...

and show people everything I have to offer.

Let's see you try singing this while dancing first.

- All right. - All right.

("Mamma Mia" Group One performs live while dancing.)

- Hyun Ah, your part there... - Yes?

was very well done. And the dancing was great too.

But Min Ji...

I told you this during your first lessons too,

but you really need to give up on trying to sing this in a pretty way.

(During Class B's vocal classes for "Pick Me")

Okay, okay.

Your voice is really pretty, Min Ji.

But that's all there is to it.

You keep on trying to look pretty while you're singing it,

so a lot of energy is being focused into your mouth.

Can you start with "hug me" one more time?

- Hug me - See?

Don't sing it like this.

Don't pull the sound in. Sing it like this. Hug me

- Hug me - That's right.

The sound has to gradually grow louder. Don't forget that.

All right then. Try singing "la pa pa ri" part now.

Start.

Chiyori, go.

The one who seems most uneasy here is the main vocalist.

You're the main vocalist,

but yours sounds the most off and stands out the most.

I thought that singing was my strongest suit.

But I don't think I was able to...

truly establish myself as the main vocalist.

I think that my uneasiness is overpowering me...

because I'm scared that I'll be eliminated again.

(Dress rehearsal before the group battle evaluations)

Why are you so uneasy, Min Ji?

- You're the main vocalist. - Yes.

Like I told you before, everyone else sounds bad...

if you sound bad.

Originally, I sang this part in "lock me up" in falsetto...

and belted "burn it up".

Is it possible for me to change it back to that now?

Try it.

Lock me up, burn it up

You're singing both of them in falsetto.

- I'll try it again. - Sure.

All right.

(Trainee Park Min Ji finally bursts into tears...)

(due to the pressure of hitting the high note.)

There's always a lot of pressure on main vocalists like this.

It's okay, it's okay. You can do this.

I've been eliminated before.

(Trainee Park Min Ji was eliminated during the group battles last time.)

(71st place: Park Min Ji)

I know what that feels like.

So I keep thinking, "What if this is my last performance again?"

And those thoughts are overwhelming me,

so it doesn't make me feel less uneasy even if I practice on my own.

And I just keep feeling so pressured.

It's okay. Don't cry. It's okay.

- I'm sorry. - Don't cry. It's okay.

Don't feel pressured.

I feel like it'll be really bad if I don't do well.

It's okay even if you don't do well. Who cares.

Don't cry.

I want to cry tears of happiness when I win...

instead of continuing to cry from feeling pressured.

I want to hear people say that...

all of our efforts weren't for nothing.

They have to do well. They have to do well.

(Murase Sae)

You can do it, Min Ji!

Go, Chiyori!

("Mamma Mia" by Group One)

(Murase Sae)

Yes, good job.

That's nice.

Goodness, they're doing great.

(Dress rehearsal before the group battle evaluations)

Why do you seem so uneasy?

I'm the main vocalist, but I keep making so many mistakes,

so I keep feeling so pressured. I'm worried.

(I pick you, NMB.)

- Good luck! - Good luck!

- You did great! - Good luck!

- Yes! - Good job!

- Well done! - Hyun Ah!

- Her lip! - She bit her lip.

Goodness.

Why is Sae so pretty?

- Seriously. - Look at her.

Gosh, she looks like a doll.

- She bit her lip. - She bit her lip.

Good work, everyone.

If I receive recognition as a vocalist,

I think that'll really...

help bolster my confidence.

This time, we will watch Group Two perform "Mamma Mia" by Kara.

("Mamma Mia" Group Two goes onstage right after Group One.)

I practiced really hard.

I really hope this won't be my final time onstage.

Group Two.

- Yes? - Yes?

Let's take a look.

(Dance class for "Mamma Mia")

What are you girls doing?

We thought you wanted to look at our names.

They seemed to be really nervous.

All right, go ahead.

Hey, where's the center?

Where's the center? This is where the center should be.

This is incredible.

You get zero points.

There's nothing for me to even say.

Who's the leader.

Miho. Didn't you have the girls practice together?

We did practice.

I can't tell what you practiced. What did you even do?

You guys will be utterly humiliated if you continue on like this.

Our group was practicing altogether, but...

Stop. Can you stop?

Center, take a look. Are we doing it properly?

Should we start over from the top?

Let's do it again. If we keep skipping...

No, no, no.

Let's continue.

But if we keep skipping, we won't get the details down.

Don't you agree?

We kept on trying to get the details down before learning the routine,

so I don't think we made use of our practice time...

as well as we could have.

That was quite disappointing.

I think our styles are different. And because of that,

we ended up not practicing too much together.

And we did a lot of things off on our own.

And I was really worried over that.

All of the other teams are practicing right now, right?

It made me nervous.

All six of us had to work on our performance together,

and I worried about what we had to do to be better than Group Two.

I wrote a couple of notes down.

If we continue on like this,

I think that we may end up losing.

I think that...

each and every one of us is quite charismatic on her own.

But we don't seem confident, and we seem like we have no energy.

(Vocal class for "Mamma Mia")

And if we lose to Group One like this, it's all over for us.

I want everyone to feel the same and have a desire to win.

I don't think that we knew how everyone was feeling up until now.

You three already debuted in Japan and have fans waiting for you.

So you still have a chance.

But for us, if we're eliminated,

we have nowhere to return to.

But the thing is, all of us risked everything to come to Korea too.

So we don't have any place to go back to if we're eliminated as well.

First of all...

Don't cry.

Just as Sa Rang said, we have nowhere to go back to.

All of us realized just how desperate we are to win this...

and that none of us have anywhere to go if we lose here.

Everyone is a lot more confident now than when we first started,

and I believe in the hard work that everyone has put in up until now.

And we will do our best to convey just how hard we worked...

to National Producers.

Blow us away.

("Mamma Mia" by Group Two)

"Burn it up"!

The thing is, though, they did get a lot better.

I was really worried because we were going onstage...

without ever hearing a single word of praise.

But I'm so thankful now since everyone did so great.

I wish we could've done better, but it was really fun.

Now I can see why people want to keep performing.

(Group One wins.)

- Don't cry. - Don't cry. Well done.

Oh, my gosh.

Why are you crying when we won?

Don't cry.

I really worked myself to death, telling myself that...

I couldn't go home during the first round this time.

So I'm incredibly relieved that we won this time.

You did really well, Min Ji.

Thanks.

You did a good job.

Look, 1,000 extra votes!

("Mamma Mia" Group One receives 1,000 extra votes as a benefit.)

I have no idea just how those 1,000 votes will affect me yet,

but I really want to perform during the next round.

(Group One versus Group Two. Who will win this fierce battle?)

The girls of Group One suit this song a lot better.

Seriously, what do I do?

Please show us the results...

I have to survive.

from the group battles. The last place...

Elimination?

(Produce 48 Training Center)

(What were practices like for Groups One and Two?)

- Did you practice a lot? - Yes.

Who's the center?

(Group One: Iwatate Saho of AKB48 Group Two: Heo Yun Jin of Pledis)

I got the impression that it'd be very important...

who we chose as our center for this song.

There's a huge amount of emphasis on the center member in this song,

and she have a lot of parts.

Do you think you'll be able to do a good job?

- Yes. - Yes, I'll do my best.

I'm confident that we'll win.

I'm confident that we'll win.

(Iwatate Saho of AKB48 versus Heo Yun Jin of Pledis)

I want to see Group Two first.

I want to see them first, and then see if Group One can beat them.

Goodness.

(Group Two performs the dance for "High Tension" first.)

Yun Jin.

What was that?

Goodness.

You won't be able to go on stage as you are now.

Girls, the center members aren't just chosen for the sake of it.

If you're the center, you have to be able to lead everyone else...

and dominate the stage.

If you can't do better than this, Group One,

I'll just start the lesson right away.

We want to win.

I felt a bit awkward.

I felt apologetic toward the team,

and I was wondering if I could actually do this.

- All right. Saho? - Yes?

Stand in the center.

In your formation. This is where the center is.

All right.

Where I am is the center.

(She's flustered.)

All right.

I've never been the center before.

(The performance of "High Tension" by AKB48...)

(that was shown to the trainees)

(Everyone unexpectedly sees a video of them performing in the past.)

(Standing among the center members onstage is...)

I've never once been the center during the past seven years.

We can do it.

Saho. I think that...

you have a lot of shortcomings as a center member.

I don't think you command the stage very much as a center,

and I'm not even sure that giving you more time to work on this...

will allow you to improve.

I was upset.

I thought, "Maybe this was why I've never been chosen..."

"to be the center."

If you all want to put on a better performance,

you either need to make Saho into a "super player", or...

I do think that the center is the most important role.

We will make Saho into a "super center".

- "Super center". - "Super center".

We will make Saho into a "super center".

(Group One's big plan to make Saho into a "super center".)

(Feeling nervous and pressured)

Since you're the center, Saho, we need to work on some points...

to make you into an even better center.

Please teach me well.

(In the meantime, Group Two also holds an emergency meeting.)

What if we have someone else be the center?

We're not done preparing for our performance yet,

and you can get a lot better.

He's just saying that you can become better by doing certain things.

Don't lose your confidence over that.

Rather, I think it'd be better for you to show him...

that you're working hard to improve.

My friends are believing in me this much,

so I want to try my very best...

to make sure that we win.

("High Tension" Group One)

I feel like my group members are giving me a lot of support,

which makes me happy and makes me want to try harder.

It's sad to think about the fact that the time we're spending...

working together will soon come to an end.

I want the extra 1,000 votes.

We'll start with Group One.

("High Tension" Group One gets their dance moves checked first.)

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Saho, your image...

is completely different from what it was like last time.

I'm so relieved.

- Group Two. - Yes.

("High Tension" Group Two gets their dance moves checked.)

You guys are neck and neck.

Group Two did a good job too.

Your dancing got a lot better, Yun Jin.

And your facial expressions have gotten a lot better too.

Thank you.

I never thought you'd improve this much.

I think that both groups will put on completely different performances,

but I think that this song...

suits our group much better.

I'll work hard so that our group can receive a lot of votes.

- Are they starting now? - Will she be a "super center"?

("High Tension" by Group One)

- They started off well. - They're so bright.

She's so pretty!

- Goodness. - They're doing great.

They really must have practiced a lot.

Yes, and their teamwork is great too.

We will now watch Group Two's performance. Please come onstage.

It felt like everyone was trusting in me until the very end,

so I thought to myself, "I have to do well for the sake of my group",

and "Let's win, no matter what."

This group is a really formidable one.

- They'll rip your speakers apart. - Really?

- Yes, it's crazy. - I see.

("High Tension" by Group Two)

That was great.

Yun Jin is making some great expressions.

The tone is great.

- Heo Yun Jin. - Heo Yun Jin.

- Yun Jin was in Class F. - She was?

She was in Class F?

She must've practiced a lot.

- Group Two's Takeuchi Miyu. - Yes?

You seemed super excited while chanting earlier.

Are you sure you didn't overexert yourself?

Really?

Yes, it was a sight to see.

All right. The on-site voting begins now.

Vote for your girl.

- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

(Group battle evaluation on-site vote is closed.)

(Result Announcement Zone)

Oh, no.

Oh my gosh.

(They check the results of on-site vote.)

(Group One, Group Two)

We all worked so hard, so I'd like to see us win.

We have to win.

(What would the voting results be?)

(Iwatate Saho, Heo Yun Jin)

(Iwatate Saho: 56, Heo Yun Jin: 188)

(Heo Yun Jin of Pledis wins.)

It felt unreal.

At the time, I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or not.

I felt so sorry for our group members.

It was heartbreaking.

(Group One, Group Two)

(Final Result, Group One: 46.3 votes, Group Two: 101.2 votes)

(Group Two wins.)

(Group Two wins.)

("High Tension" Group Two receives 1,000 extra votes as a benefit.)

- Good work, everyone. - You all did so well.

After I fell to Class F,

I lacked confidence.

But since our members encouraged me and believed in me,

I think I was able to do well.

I think I've grown tremendously over a short period of time.

This performance will take the group battle evaluation...

to a whole another level.

These two groups will vie for Blackpink's "Boombayah".

Please come on up to the stage.

"Boombayah".

(Group One and Two performing "Boombayah" enter the stage.)

(Chiba Erii)

Uncles.

- Dear... - Dear...

- National Producers. - National Producers.

- "Boombayah". - "Boombayah".

Hello, we are...

- Black World. - Black World.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

We are...

- Snack. - Snack.

You're going to...

- support us, right? - Support us, right?

That's so cute.

Group One, please give us a word.

I'll be brief.

Since we're Group One, we'll be sure to be first.

Group Two's Trainee Asai Nanami.

Yes?

We'll perform well enough...

to shock Group One.

(Nanami)

I'm already excited to see...

how lit the stage will become.

This is a battle for Blackpink's "Boombayah".

Group One and Two's performances begin now.

It's showtime.

(What were Group One's practices like?)

(Produce 48 Training Center)

Group One, you're up for "Boombayah".

- Who is the leader? - Me.

- Chae Jeong. - Yes?

(Group One managed to secure their song of choice.)

I think I picked the best ones for our group.

It is exactly what I wanted to do.

I'm confident that we'll be great.

There are a lot of things that are in our favor.

Most of the song revolves around rapping.

I think our group's rapping skills is superior to Group Two.

It's another advantage to have a group full of Koreans.

Group One's performance standards are high.

Erina's group seems to be falling behind.

Okay, stand by.

There are skilled members in this group too.

They're already into it.

They're good.

Everyone in this group is talented.

Chae Jeong, I really like your energy.

- Thank you. - You're so charismatic.

You ooze real charisma. That's it.

Chan Joo is the center.

Chan Joo is the center.

But there is nothing memorable for her.

Chae Jeong and Yu Jin's vibe just overtakes hers.

She's too invisible.

That's why I advised them to change their center.

Chan Joo is the center member.

Music, please.

[VIU Ver] Mnet E04 Produce 48 "Group Battle Evaluation Part 2" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Can we take a look at your formation?

Chan Joo, shouldn't you be a bit more forward?

Are you at the front or the back?

I'm supposed to be at the front.

Are my expectations too high?

Chan Joo is the center member.

But she's not showing off too much energy.

In my opinion,

Yoo Jin can do a better job as the center member.

You have to drive it forward from the get go.

- The vibe. - Right.

Chan Joo, you need to do that...

since you're the center.

Do you want to try?

(Chan Joo tries singing her part as the center.)

Black World in your area

Can't you do it like that?

Black World in your area

Make it more seductive.

Black World in your area

Will you be doing that on stage?

Black World in your area

It's pronounced wrong. It's "area".

"Area".

Come on, Chan Joo. It's just one line.

You're not doing 8 lines. There is just 1.

Let's give it a try, Chae Jeong.

Black World in your area

I think...

Chae Jeong is more suited to be the center.

(Chan Joo received a lot of criticism for her center position.)

(Produce 48 Training Center)

(Group One gets together for a meeting after class.)

- I'm very sorry about today. - It's okay.

Why are you sorry?

We just started practicing.

It's only natural to get criticized on the first lesson.

You just need to work on it.

We don't know how you'll do in the future.

That's true.

It's the future that matters.

Are you really crying?

Oh, no.

- It's okay. - Don't cry.

(All her suppressed tears come flooding out.)

I felt so sorry to my teammates for having to hear...

the suggestion for reassignment.

I was disappointed in myself for not performing as practiced.

It made me upset.

If I train harder, I'll be able to do better.

In order to not make my fellow members...

regret their decision to keep me at the center,

I'll take their good intentions...

and work harder and harder.

- Do well. - They'll do just fine.

("Boombayah" by Group One)

Look at her expression.

Look at that gaze.

(All the trainees respond back.)

She's full of charisma.

She's made to perform.

I pick Chae Jeong.

She's so charming.

Next, we'll take a look at Group Two's performance.

I think I'll cry if they do well.

Group One has the visuals down.

- You're right. - But so does Group Two.

That's what draws us in.

I'm keeping my hands together for Group Two.

(What were Group Two's practices like?)

(Trainee Han Cho Won seems deep in thought alone.)

As both the leader and center,

I'm in a position to lead the whole group.

I'm trying very hard to lead everyone.

But not everyone in the group was able to follow along.

It was a bit frustrating.

What was the most frustrating?

Sure, we had members who worked very hard.

But a few members made me doubt if they even wanted to perform.

They didn't practice very hard.

Get up. We have to practice.

Let's go.

Get up.

Korean raps are so difficult. The tempo is so fast too.

It was so demotivating.

I don't think I tried very hard.

We have to do our very best until we get sorted.

I'm a bit worried.

Let's give it a go.

What are they doing?

- Boombayah - Boombayah

Okay. We're done.

What was I supposed to watch?

I don't think this is a language barrier issue.

I agree.

If it's not something you want to do, will you not try?

Are you both that discontent?

You're not even nodding, you're not singing,

you're not replying, or responding.

If you don't want to be taught, then get out.

Let's give it a shot, Hye Won.

Who wants to be the rapper?

Someone has to rap.

(Hye Won attempts to rap for the first time.)

Let's give it a shot, Hye Won.

5, 6, 7, 8.

Blackpink in your area

I don't think your voice lacks that much volume.

True.

Blackpink in your area

In 2, 3.

Blackpink in your area

In 3, 4. Try again.

Blackpink in your area

- In 2, 3. - Blackpink in your area

Spit it out!

Okay, I'm sorry.

You don't have to be sorry to me.

This can be a problem for you later.

Everything seemed so bleak.

I only volunteered because no one did.

I felt like we were messing up more...

since I volunteered for the main rapping part.

I think it's harder because I lack the confidence.

Hye Won.

Here's an important word of advice.

We're not judges up here.

We're here to help you.

We're here to help you create the best performance.

You'll be evaluated by viewers across the country.

Please at least raise your voices.

So we can at least help you. Raise your voices more.

Then we'll do our best to give advice.

This is something exciting.

Control your feelings.

Keep this in mind. "We're excited."

- This is exciting. - We're excited.

Good. You all smiled.

- Let's take turns smiling. - Let's do this.

I was so grateful.

Honestly,

whether I lose or get eliminated, I really want to perform.

I promised myself not to cry.

(Produce 48 Training Center)

(After class, they hold a free practice session.)

If we were to keep continuing this way, we won't be able to perform.

We resolved to do our best.

Don't dare to stop me, whoever does

I'm still immature and fearless

(Hye Won replays her own recordings.)

(Self-praise)

You're pleased.

(And...)

(finally, Chiba Erii asks for help.)

This is hard for everyone.

We can't always perform the songs we want.

It's out of our control.

I think it'll be great if we can show them a surprise twist...

by performing very well.

I lacked effort up until now.

But with a mutual goal,

I'll be able to work harder in the future.

- "Today" - "Today"

Write it down.

She approached me first to ask questions.

I was very appreciative of such efforts.

Thanks to my teammates, I'm having a good time.

Now, everyone is full of determination.

Everyone worked so hard.

That drove me to work harder too.

(Group Two has become a step more positive.)

I love you!

Hello.

(Cabinet in your area)

This is jelly.

(They have so much fun even during their breaks.)

- This is good. - It's delicious.

(Please forget the teary-eyed Group Two.)

I think we can see a little bit of hope now.

- 1, 2, 3. We got this! - We still have a lot to learn,

and many things have happened as well.

But all of us have worked so hard,

and we don't know what the results will be like.

I don't want to lose, so I'll give my all and do my very best.

- Gosh, they're about to start. - I'm so nervous for them.

- Let's go! - My gosh.

("Boombayah" by Group Two)

(To be continued soon)

("Boombayah" by Group Two)

- Oh, they're totally in sync. - I know.

A dark horse. She was a dark horse.

She's really cute.

Chan Joo and Cho Won used their eyes the best today.

- Cho Won. - Yes, Cho Won.

Kang Hye Won is very photogenic.

She has a pretty face.

For some strange reason, I keep getting a feeling that they'll win.

- I think Group One will win. - The final...

No one can predict the result.

Yes, you never know.

Can we take a peek at the result?

Can't you just tell us?

Come on. Please tell us.

(They check the results of on-site vote.)

(What would the voting results be?)

(Group One, Group Two)

Other trainees were like, "You girls rock."

They kept praising us.

That's why I think we might win.

We ended it well, so I think we could hope for good results.

To be honest, I think the other team did an incredible job.

I think they'll beat us.

- Why is it taking so long? - My gosh.

(Group One, Group Two)

(Lee Chae Jeong: 54, Kang Hye Won: 44)

- Oh, my gosh. - Gosh, that startled me.

- Goodness, I'm scared. - Please...

Group One did an outstanding job.

(Go Yoo Jin, Chiba Erii)

(Go Yoo Jin, Chiba Erii)

(Go Yoo Jin: 198, Chiba Erii: 102)

- Thank you so much. - Yoo Jin!

- Yoo Jin! - Don't cry.

- My goodness. - Gosh, that's incredible.

Yoo Jin almost received 200 votes.

- My gosh. - Yoo Jin!

(Group One, Group Two)

Show us the result!

(Group One, Group Two)

(Park Chan Joo: 22, Sato Minami: 86)

- Minami. - Sato Minami!

(Group One, Group Two)

(Won Seo Yeon: 22, Han Cho Won: 42)

- Nice! - It's okay.

- It's okay. - It's okay. Don't cry.

The number of votes kept dropping after the first two members.

Seeing that really scared me.

(Kim So Hee, Asai Nanami, Asai Yuka)

(Group One, Group Two)

(Kim So Hee: 30, Asai Nanami: 144, Asai Yuka: 30)

(Final Result, Average Number of Votes)

(Group One: 65.2 votes, Group Two: 74.7 votes)

(Group Two wins.)

(Asai Nanami: 144)

(Asai Nanami: 144, Asai Yuka: 30)

(Kim So Hee: 30)

(Group Two wins.)

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Is this really happening? I can't believe it.

- It feels so surreal. - This isn't the end.

("Boombayah" Group Two receives 1,000 extra votes as a benefit.)

You don't think you can perform "Boombayah"?

I don't think I can.

What should we do?

Until the day that your tears of sadness turn into tears of joy.

That was the very first time I cried tears of joy.

All the members did their best without giving up,

so I'm truly grateful.

Good job, everyone.

The result shows what National Producers...

felt from our performances,

so we have to accept it.

Now, we'll watch the two groups'...

performances of "Like Ooh-Ahh", the song...

by the girl group that has risen to international stardom...

and is especially popular in Korea and Japan, Twice.

Both groups will sing the Japanese version...

of Twice's song, "Like Ooh-Ahh",

instead of the original Korean version.

Please come on up to the stage.

(Group One and Two performing "Like Ooh-Ahh" enter the stage.)

- Hello! - Hello!

We want to pop into your head...

- and win your heart! - We're Group One's...

- Team Pop! - Team Pop!

- We want to be yours! - We want to be yours!

- Hello, we're... - Hello, we're...

- Team Yours. - Team Yours.

- Trainee Goto Moe in Group One. - Yes.

What were some of the challenges you had during your practice?

The styles of dance that are popular in Japan and Korea are different,

so I struggled to move my body in the way I wanted to.

But the team members and I worked hard while building teamwork,

so we'd like to show you what we've been working on.

This is when teamwork becomes very important.

They have great teamwork.

Having good teamwork makes you less nervous.

It comforts you because you know that you're in it together.

- Hae Yoon, you're the leader. - Yes.

Let's see how much you've been practicing. Group One first.

You girls have good teamwork, and it was very refreshing.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

It looks like the team leader has been doing a great job.

But...

Goto Moe.

You do need to work more on the details.

You go too fast.

(Goto Moe was a beat or two ahead of the rest of the group.)

Objectively speaking, I think you need more practice.

Only then, you won't be a nuisance to other members.

Only then, you won't be a nuisance to other members.

(Vocal class for "Like Ooh-Ahh")

It's a bit too fast.

You sound rushed. I guess she keeps feeling rushed.

- She needs to fix it. - Yes.

Let's hear it one more time.

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

One more time.

(She's not improving even after repeating it several times.)

Leader, you know what I'm trying to say, right?

Yes.

You'll have to practice with her and help her fix it.

Okay.

What's wrong? What's the matter?

Even when I was practicing with the members of AKB48,

I was told that I'm always a beat or two ahead.

I feel like I'm bogging everyone down.

I felt so bad...

and apologetic whenever I thought about the other members.

Gosh, Moe.

- What's wrong? - You're doing a great job.

We're just getting started, you know.

- It's okay. - It's okay.

We'll just have to practice hard together from now on.

(The team leader, Park Hae Yoon, helps her practice her singing.)

It's still a bit fast.

Are you worried?

It's okay. You'll be fine.

You'll do an excellent job on stage if you keep practicing.

Shall we try one more time?

- Yes, let's do that. - Let's try one more time.

There are things that Moe needs to improve on,

but she really listens to us when we practice together,

and I could see that she has the potential to improve a lot.

It may take a while,

but I think she can definitely improve significantly with practice.

Moe isn't here at the moment due to her schedule in Japan.

The five of us met up to practice together today.

(Group One got together to get additional practice.)

- Moe sent us a video. - What?

Moe just sent us a video message.

(Let me know if you spot any mistakes!)

I was in Japan when the rest of the team was in Korea,

so we kept sending each other video clips of our practice sessions.

"A 45° angle will be better here."

We talked about many things.

(Goto Moe: I miss you girls more now.)

The members and the leader, Hae Yoon,

taught me so many things and helped me out a lot.

I must do my very best so that I can make sure...

all of their help and hard work don't go to waste.

We must attain the extra votes.

- "Like Ooh-Ahh". Go, Team Pop! - "Like Ooh-Ahh". Go, Team Pop!

- Let's just have fun. - Okay.

Everyone has been doing so well, so I trust we'll do a great job.

- 1, 2, 3. Go, Team Pop! - 1, 2, 3. Go, Team Pop!

I really hope that all of us can receive the 1,000 extra votes...

so that we can move on to the next round together.

(What will their "Like Ooh-Ahh" be like?)

I think these girls have the best teamwork.

They actually look like a girl group.

I just hope Moe doesn't sing too fast.

(Japanese version of "Like Ooh-Ahh" by Group One)

- Oh, my! - Gosh, how pretty. She's stunning.

- Oh, my. - Gosh.

(Goto Moe)

- My, she's an amazing singer. - She has such a powerful voice.

She's the best singer out of everyone so far.

Seol Hyun's pose.

You rock!

- That was amazing! - You girls are stunning!

- That was great. - It's the best performance so far.

Everyone has been practicing to shine on stage,

and a few trainees really achieved that goal today.

It makes our job rewarding.

Now, we'll watch Group Two's performance...

of Twice's song, "Like Ooh-Ahh".

(What were Group Two's practices like?)

(When they were deciding on each member's parts)

When we were talking about how we should allocate the parts,

Group One was already practicing the dance moves.

That made us anxious.

Diagonally like this. You'll stand behind me.

Go a little bit more forward.

You should be here.

(However)

Should I go out like this?

(Group Two's practice was progressing slowly.)

We need to speed things up. We have to work on the details too.

No, we have more than enough time.

Ha Eun and I were anxious about everything.

We don't want to lose, you know.

We kept wondering how we should bring it up to improve our practice.

We were constantly worried.

(Produce 48 Training Center)

Let's hear it.

(Vocal and rap class for "Like Ooh-Ahh")

Group One, what do you girls think?

- They got the same amount of time? - Yes, exactly the same.

I thought they were fighting when they were singing the refrain.

(Their teamwork was bad during the refrain.)

Did you practice with your earphones on?

- Who's the leader? - It's me.

You need to do a better job.

- Yes. - Being a leader isn't just a title.

It's your duty to prevent problems like this...

and improve your teamwork by leading the other members effectively.

Do you girls not get along?

Compared to other teams, we rarely...

practiced together as a team. That's what I think.

- All right, Leader. - Yes.

- You need to do better. - Okay.

After the lesson, I felt so...

Thoughts flooded my mind.

If you're uncomfortable with anything,

please tell me because I should know as the team leader.

What were you worried about?

Well, I thought...

I should do everything quickly because I felt pressured.

I thought I wouldn't be able to show it to the trainers...

if I don't work hard. So I thought we should practice a lot.

I thought it was just us two who felt nervous.

I thought you all were okay and too relaxed.

But Ga Hyeon and I were...

Now that I know about this, I'll be more careful.

We will try harder too.

Okay. We understand.

I should have realized this sooner.

I felt like I didn't do my best to keep our teamwork.

Starting from now, I really want to prepare this well...

with my team members, and I want our team to be the best.

There's always a twist in a drama, you know.

We'll show them a twist.

We'll do better on the stage.

The extra points are ours.

Group Two wasn't bad.

They're starting.

(Japanese version of "Like Ooh-Ahh" by Group Two)

They are pretty.

She sings well too.

Yes, she sings well. Her voice is stable.

Group Two is good too.

- Oh, my goodness. Jinny! - Oh, gosh!

(Screaming)

Ga Hyeon is so pretty!

(Result Announcement Zone)

(They check the results of on-site vote.)

- 1, 2, 3. Let's go! - Let's go!

- "Like Ooh-Ahh" is ours. - "Like Ooh-Ahh" is ours.

I think my group did better.

I felt like my group might win.

(Group One, Group Two)

I believe that my group will win.

I wish this wasn't the last stage.

I hope this could lead us to our debut.

(What would the voting results be?)

(Park Hae Yoon: 50, Lee Ha Eun: 86)

I was so overwhelmed.

Hae Yoon's number of votes was lower than I expected, so I felt sorry.

(Kim Chae Won: 104, Cho Ga Hyeon: 14)

(Kim Do Ah: 80, Choi Yeon Soo: 46)

(Hwang So Yeon: 10, Park Jinny: 38)

- What is this? - I'm scared.

(Group One, Group Two)

(Lee Seung Hyeon: 26, Park Seo Young: 72)

- You did a good job. - Oh, well done.

It was so unexpected.

So I was really overwhelmed.

The result wasn't up to my satisfaction.

I thought, "I wasn't good enough."

Seung Hyeon, you were the best center position.

- She's right. - You did so well.

- You did a good job. - Well done.

(Group One, Group Two)

It was so close that I didn't know...

which team would get the extra votes.

(Goto Moe, Naiki Kokoro)

(Goto Moe, Naiki Kokoro)

(Goto Moe: 172, Naiki Kokoro: 86)

(Goto Moe: 172)

(Final Result, Group One: 442 votes, Group Two: 342 votes)

(Group One wins.)

The score doesn't matter. Let's just think that we won.

I thought I wasn't good enough for the group.

But everyone taught me with kindness.

I think it was a good group.

I was thankful.

Produce 48 group battle evaluation.

We chose a meaningful song for this round.

This song is from Season One.

The girl group made a successful debut and was loved by many people.

It's "Very Very Very" by I.O.I.

This is their cover performance.

- Oh, nice. - I'm looking forward to this song.

Two groups,

please come on up to the stage.

They're the Avengers.

(Group One and Two performing "Very Very Very" enter the stage.)

Sakura is in one of the groups.

Group One, please introduce yourselves.

I'm Cherry Go Eun.

- I'm Banana Miru. - I'm Apple Ye Na.

- I'm Plum Won Young. - I'm Grape Yoo Jin.

I'm Strawberry Hitomi.

- We are Mixed Fruits. - We are Mixed Fruits.

- We look forward to your kindness. - We look forward to your kindness.

- They're so cute. - Hitomi is so cute.

In 2, 3.

Everyone, do you like Raspberry?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Hello, we're Very Very Raspberry. - Hello, we're Very Very Raspberry.

We're Raspberry.

Oh, she's so pretty.

Okay. Let me hear from you all before the battle starts.

When our cute members are mixed,

we are going to be...

the best mixed juice.

Bring it on!

(Shiroma Miru)

Let's hear from Group Two also.

We're closer to each other than any other groups.

We will make the best performance. Let's go!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Let the battle begin now.

- It's showtime! - It's showtime!

(What were practices like for Groups One and Two?)

(Produce 48 Training Center)

Group One, go ahead.

Okay.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Did you pick the center member?

- Yes. - Yes.

She's perfect for the center. Great job.

Thank you.

Her facial expression is good.

Thank you.

You did a good job.

Won Young's facial expressions are all so natural.

She's so pretty, and she does a good job standing at the center.

I'm a bit anxious.

Okay, let's go with Group Two.

This group has all the good members. I'm excited to see them.

Cho Yeon, you are the center member?

Yes.

- Let's see first. - Okay.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Well...

Cho Yeon. I'm sorry, but you are overacting.

To be honest, I felt uncomfortable,

so I had to eye on someone else.

Okay.

What's ironic is that...

you guys dance better than the other group.

You guys are more famous too.

But I sense that there's a different vibe.

You guys aren't so fresh compared to Group One.

I think it could be a problem of the center member.

For the team,

I think it's better to select a new center member.

Guys,

you have to be careful when choosing the center member.

You guys must win this time.

Why don't you all think rationally?

Don't be pressured by what others think.

You have to win this time.

- Okay? - Yes.

(Can Cho Yeon maintain the center position?)

"Very Very Very" by Group Two, please stand by.

(Dress rehearsal before the group battle evaluations)

Did they change the center member?

They changed the center member.

I thought Sakura should be standing at the center...

because she is more well-known, and that's be advantageous.

I was a bit anxious.

Why is Sakura standing in the center?

Cho Yeon was the center member at first,

but two days ago, we decided to change.

(It was two days before the evaluation performance.)

(Group Two is having a meeting to come up with a solution.)

We have a little bit of time before the rehearsal.

Everyone can be the center member.

I'm trying to ask you guys again...

who could be the center member.

Is she changing the center member?

Yes.

How about Cho Yeon?

My pride was hurt.

I couldn't even believe in myself.

I thought our group should come before an individual.

We have to get those extra votes.

I felt sorry for Cho Yeon.

Yoon Jung said something about Cho Yeon,

and we had to win the other team,

so the center member holds much importance.

So I thought my team needed someone who's really strong...

in the center position.

So I had kept thinking.

(Group Two changed their center member.)

(Group Two trainees have started recording their practice video.)

(Everyone stood in the center once and recorded themselves.)

(The Group Two trainees are monitoring their videos.)

I think...

Sakura should be the center member.

I want Sakura to be the center member too.

I think...

Sakura suits the center position.

She should be the center member.

Then...

Sakura should be in the center. It's decided by the majority.

(Group Two changed their center member from Cho Yeon to Sakura.)

I was happy to be the center member,

but Cho Yeon was crying.

I felt sorry.

(Sakura's practicing the rap part because the position's changed.)

(The team members are helping her.)

My position's changed. So my singing part has changed too.

Memorizing the rap part at this point is quite hard.

But I'll try my best for our group.

(Sakura's practicing hard...)

(for the changed part.)

(I got to do the rap.)

(But it's really hard.)

(The parts for the center member are incredibly difficult also.)

(I was picked by the members,)

(so I have to work hard.)

(There's nothing I can do except practicing hard.)

She's practicing so hard too.

I think my group will win if we keep practicing.

(Dress rehearsal before the group battle evaluations)

(Mumbling)

(Sakura kept making mistakes on the lyrics.)

I don't know about this. Who is the rapper?

- Sakura's doing the rap part. - Yes.

I don't think you are good.

I can't hear anything. I can't tell what you are saying.

Why did you have to...

change the position and make the rap part horrible?

I had a really hard time concentrating on this group.

Why is Sakura standing in the center?

Because of Sakura, everything was ruined.

Her pronunciation was bad, and her dance was offbeat.

Her singing was off beat as well, but she rapped.

She's in the center. And she's not good.

Why would you let someone who's not good stand in the center?

They can't change the center position now.

Do you think you can do well tomorrow?

I think she should be in the center.

(To be continued soon)

Good job.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(The Group Two trainees are stepping down from the stage.)

Me being the center isn't good for the group.

I want Cho Yeon to be the center member.

Because I had to practice for the center position,

Cho Yeon missed the chance.

She could have had more time to practice for the center position.

I feel like everything's my fault.

(Group Two changed the center member from Sakura to Cho Yeon.)

We're back to square one, so I don't feel anxious anymore.

The team got brighter, and we practiced happily.

I think I regained confidence.

We'll steal National Producers' hearts.

There were so many hardships and sufferings.

But we went through them together. We are now a stronger team.

We got even closer to each other.

My will to make the performance perfect...

got even stronger.

I think I can do well.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Group Two kept changing their center member. Let's see how they do.

I hope they do well.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

("Very Very Very" by Group Two)

Chae Yeon's stable at everything.

- She's powerful. - Her dance is energetic.

(Hitomi)

(Cho Yeon)

I had goose bumps.

They did a good job.

I love you.

We love you.

(You are the number one, Cho Yeon.)

It was good.

It was good that they changed the center position.

Yes, it's good that they changed it.

You did a good job.

Good job.

Well done. Good job.

Thank you all for doing so well until this far.

- Thank you. - Good job.

(How did the other team prepare this?)

- The rap is... - Is there any rapper here?

What should we do?

The rap has to be done in Japanese.

Do you want to do the rap part?

- No? - Miru doesn't want to do it too?

- Then... - Then...

Is there anyone who is okay with doing it?

There wasn't any rapper in my group.

Even when I'm in their shoes,

they can't easily rap in Korean.

- It's okay. - Let all the Koreans try.

- Okay. - Sure.

(The rap part they will have to do is Lim Na Young's rap part.)

(Who will be the rapper of Group One?)

I'm so talented.

- You're so cute. - I'll fall in love with you.

- You practiced it, right? - No way.

Come on.

She's good.

I thought she practiced it at the back and she joined us here.

You're good.

The position?

Me?

I'm good at everything.

Many people said I'm good at rapping.

(Let's get it.)

(Vocal and rap class for "Very Very Very")

- You're rapping? - Yes.

I'm rapping in front of Cheetah.

I couldn't believe it.

- Let's do it. - Go ahead.

It was my first time rapping in front of her.

I thought I shouldn't make any mistakes on the lyrics.

The lyrics and beats are the basic.

Stop.

I'll show you

I'll show you

I'll show you

No.

It would have been nice if you memorized everything.

But you are trying to rap without looking at the lyrics.

It's already good enough.

(The other trainees looked at the lyrics and sang the songs.)

Trying to rap without looking at the lyrics. It's already good enough.

This is part of you being confident too.

(Dance class for "Very Very Very")

(They're checking Group One's dance on "Very Very Very".)

This song is cute and fresh over all.

The girls from Group One suit better with this song.

So the vibe was better with Group One.

She gave us compliments. It helped me with gaining confidence.

I will practice so hard to...

show the freshest performance ever.

(She looks so fruity.)

Now this is what you call fresh.

Oh, come on. We are Group One for "Very Very Very".

- Please remember us. - Remember us.

We have so much fun when we play.

(She's the next ad lib singer.)

- 1, 2, 3. - You're good.

- She's good. - You surely are the center.

Oh, gosh.

She's our center position. I feel safe with her.

- I feel safe with her. - Hello.

I'll push you down.

(They're playing.)

Please remember Group One for "Very Very Very".

(We are watching you.)

Group One members are all so close.

It looks weird.

(They're practicing for the ending pose.)

Lift it up.

Hitomi is so cute.

She's stuck in between...

You're telling me that I'm short.

- She's so mean. - But you are so cute.

- She's so cute. - She's standing with her toes.

She is so cute.

(It's their free practice time for Group One and Group Two.)

At first, I thought the other team members are like the avengers.

I thought like "Can we do well? Can we win against them?"

(Group One)

(Group Two)

I thought the two groups will have a close game.

Our teamwork was so good and we practiced so hard.

I think my team will win.

Now that I told them that I'm doing this, I should think that...

I will win. I really want to win.

Go Eun made this.

I made this myself. It's 100 percent hand-made.

Very very very

I'm not jealous of them. I'm sure my team can win.

Let's do this well.

- Let's go Mixed Juice. - Let's go.

Let's compete. Avengers versus Avengers.

I want to compete fairly. Let's go.

I'm not sure which team will win.

(Group One's "Very Very Very")

- Let's go. - I love you.

- Let's go. - I love you.

("Very Very Very" by Group One)

It's Hitomi.

They are good.

(Won Young Forever)

- I don't know. It's a close game. - I don't know.

- I know. - Either one of them...

will not receive extra votes and not make it through.

Then...

- It's too... - It's such a close-run.

That was awesome.

Won Young's so pretty.

She managed that look throughout the song.

- And the camera too. - I know.

(Result Announcement Zone)

(They check the results of on-site vote.)

I'm nervous.

I thought it was a close game.

I wish we win.

I'm sure I could win.

- Please. - My legs feel weak.

I'm really nervous.

("Very Very Very" Group One, Group Two)

(Choi Ye Na: 64, Lee Chae Yeon: 34)

(Na Go Eun: 42, Kwon Eun Bi: 24)

I failed pretty much.

It's risky.

I was nervous because...

Trainee Sakura is very popular,

but I still wanted to win.

(Group One, Group Two)

(Miyawaki Sakura: 164)

(Shiroma Miru: 112, Miyawaki Sakura: 164)

This is no joke.

(Honda Hitomi: 70, Motomura Aoi: 46)

(Ahn Yoo Jin: 62, Kim Min Ju: 34)

- Congratulations. - Pardon?

Group One won. I'm not confident.

No, no.

No.

I was nervous.

This could be my last stage.

(Final Result, Group One: 440 votes, Group Two: 356 votes)

(Group One wins.)

(Group One wins.)

I was happy to win.

Thank you, everyone.

- Good job. - Good job.

I felt bad because...

we all worked very hard together.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

There were many ups and downs.

Everyone tried very hard,

but we didn't get the result we expected.

It's such a bummer.

There are no regrets. We all tried our best.

Group battle evaluation where trainees are evaluated...

by national producers for the first time. All 16 teams are done.

Now, it's the on-site vote result.

From top to bottom,

all trainees' ranks are determined.

Trainee Takahashi Juri of AKB48.

- Yes. - What's the last rank that can...

survive from this first group battle evaluation?

It's 58th.

That's right. Kim Min Ju of Urban Works.

Yes.

What does it mean if you don't place within 58th?

It means a release.

It means you can't practice here anymore.

I don't know. I just got started.

First, we'll reveal the rank based on...

individual votes before 1,000 extra votes.

I must survive.

I want to place at least 57th.

Please show us.

(What's the fate of the girls?)

(To be continued soon)

Please show us.

(They check the results of on-site vote.)

(Revealing from 92nd to the 1st)

(On-site evaluation ranking)

First, it's the trainees...

between the lowest 92nd to 71st.

The trainees in that ranking...

must try more fiercely.

(Lee Seung Hyeon: 79th, 26 votes)

(Wang Ke: 74th, 28 votes)

Next is, 71st...

to 63rd.

(71st to 63rd)

The Japanese trainees are celebrities,

and Koreans are trainees.

There was a gap.

I think I lack popularity.

Now, it's trainees in 62nd to 53rd who are...

in the border of survival and release.

Trainee Yoon Eun Bin of CNC,

Trainee Han Cho Won of Cube,

and Trainee Na Go Eun of RBW are in 58th.

There are three people in the same rank without making...

the cut-off point, so the next rank is 61st.

Trainee Kim Yoo Bin of CNC.

I want to survive desperately. I can't fail.

Now, it's trainees from 52nd to 33rd.

(Park Hae Yoon: 50th, 50 votes)

(Takahashi Juri: 48th, 52 votes)

Congratulations, Trainee Heo Yun Jin.

Only two trainees remain.

Please reveal...

the first place.

(Who will take the first place as a result of the on-site voting?)

(1st place: Yabuki Nako, 330 votes)

It's Trainee Yabuki Nako who has the record of...

330 on-site votes. Congratulations.

(1st place: Yabuki Nako, 330 votes)

(2nd place: Go Yoo Jin, 198 votes)

(23rd place: Jang Won Young, 90 votes)

Trainee Yabuki Nako, how do you feel?

I still can't believe this.

I know I still have a long way to go, but I'll try harder.

I'll try my best to be in a higher rank again next time.

Thank you.

Everyone's rank is revealed,

but this is not the end.

1,000 extra votes must have changed the whole ranks.

(Group battle evaluation)

(Revealing the final results after adding 1,000 extra votes)

Please reveal them now.

(1st place: Yabuki Nako, 1,330 votes)

1,000 extra votes are added to Yabuki Nako's votes.

She remains in the first place.

(Yabuki Nako from HKT48 earned 1,330 votes. She's the first place.)

(Matsui Jurina went down from 15th place to 50th place.)

But many other trainees have different ranks now.

(Miyawaki Sakura went down from 5th place to 48th place.)

I didn't know that my rank would drop so much.

I realized how powerful the extra votes can be.

The second place is changed now.

Heo Yun Jin is the second place as a result of the on-site voting.

Kim Chae Won went up from 17th place to 12th place.

You can fully enjoy the current position for now.

(Shitao Miu went up from 13th place to 10th place.)

After adding the extra votes,

the 59th place has been changed. It's the member who has to leave.

Gosh. The 1,000 votes...

(Jang Gyu Ri went down from 33rd place to 59th place.)

Those trainees in lower ranks,

there is no need to be depressed.

We still have to add the voting result...

done by National Producers...

who are watching the show from all over the country.

The final result to see who's leaving and staying...

(The final result combines all the votes from online...)

(and mobile application votes.)

We'll reveal it next week.

(Next week)

We'll reveal it at the first ranking announcement next week.

(Next week's ranking announcement)

(They'll reveal the trainees who are leaving and staying.)

(Who will take the first place from the ranking announcement?)

(Vote for your girl.)

- I think the pretty one to stand... - At the center...

- It's mine. - No, it's not. It's mine.

It's one word.

"Han". "Maek".

"Maek". "Maek"!

Hello, I'm Lisa.

Nice to meet you.

So five people are leaving.

- It's scary. - It is cruel.

It is even bloodier now.

(They'll announce those below the 58th place who will be leaving.)

The trainees from the 1st place to the 58th place are staying.

The trainees who rank below the 59th place will have to leave.

Oh, please.
