(Concept Evaluation)

I'm Lee Dae Hwi of Wanna One.

- Is this real? - I can't believe it.

National Producers...

(National Producers chose a song that matches the trainee.)

(However,)

(only 30 trainees can perform on stage.)

The Second Ranking Announcement will now begin.

11th...

(Unexpected twists in ranking)

The ninth is Trainee Han Cho Won.

(Han Cho Won moves to 9th from 47th.)

It should be recorded.

Here's the third place trainee.

(Kang Hye Won moves to 3rd from 25th.)

(She enters the debut ranking.)

(And the last survivor)

(Takeuchi Miyu drops to 30th from 11th.)

(And the new 1st place)

She's the only trainee who received more than one million votes.

It's over one million.

Thank you for placing me in the first place.

(30 trainees will participate in the concept evaluation.)

(30 trainees will participate in the concept evaluation.)

(Who's going to receive a benefit of 50,000 votes?)

(Who's going to receive a benefit of 50,000 votes?)

(The ranking on the show follows the second ranking announcement.)

(The 30 trainees gather again.)

What's that? What are we doing?

I guess we're watching something.

- A surprise video letter. - Letter from our parents.

Consolation round?

- What? - You never know.

- Eun Bi. - That's amazing.

Right. That makes sense.

- I know. - It's making me nervous.

What's that?

(Why are the trainees surprised?)

(It's coming soon.)

Hello, everyone.

(A video letter from Representative Lee)

Hi.

Nice to meet you. I'm Representative Lee Seung Gi.

(Good to see you, Representative Lee.)

I knew it.

The reason I'm sending you this video is...

Before the Second Ranking Announcement,

I gave you the Concept Evaluation assignment, right?

For this Concept Evaluation,

the number of people for each song...

- 4? - 6?

Six please.

Five.

It's five people.

(5 people per concept song evaluation)

According to the Second Ranking Announcement,

each song has a different number of people.

So today,

we're going to adjust the number of people...

for each song.

Here's the number of people for each song.

Seven for "I Wish".

Six for "Rollin' Rollin'".

6 for "I Am". 6 for "Rumor".

Four for "Let's Meet Again".

And 1 for "1,000 Percent".

Oh, my goodness.

What do we do now?

The groups that exceed the maximum number of members...

will vote to decide which trainee will move to a different group.

What's the total number of benefit do you get through this evaluation?

130,000 votes.

A benefit of 130,000 votes will be added.

It's important for both the team and individual.

You should consider carefully before moving the trainee.

Let's adjust the number now.

It's cruel.

(Lee Ka Eun, Ahn Yoo Jin, Heo Yun Jin, Choi Ye Na, Takahashi Juri)

(Han Cho Won, Kim Shi Hyun, Murase Sae, Shitao Miu, Lee Sian)

(Kim Min Ju, Na Go Eun, Jo Yu Ri, Kim Chae Won, Miyawaki Sakura)

(Miyazaki Miho)

(Takeuchi Miyu, Kang Hye Won, Wang Yi Ren, Park Hae Yoon)

(Jang Won Young, Kim Do Ah, Kim Na Young, Goto Moe, Honda Hitomi)

("Let's Meet Again" needs 1 person, "1,000 Percent" needs 4 people)

(1 person from "I Am", "Rollin' Rollin'", and "Rumor",)

(and 2 people from "I Wish" need to move.)

("Let's Meet Again" needs 1 more member.)

This performance is very important.

- We need to pick carefully. - Who do you expect?

Someone who fits the image.

I hope she fits into innocent concept.

- Min Ju. - Oh, Min Ju.

(Trainee Kim Min Ju with innocent concept)

- She's innocent. - You're right.

She's appealing.

Sakura is very popular.

- She'll be helpful. - She could help our team.

Sakura is high in rank and very popular.

I hope she comes to our team.

I can't wait to find out who will be moved from "I Wish".

("I Wish")

(2 people need to leave "I Wish".)

Goodness.

I'm glad all seven of us survived.

There's no one to move.

Two people...

I will have to leave.

I'm low in rank, and I don't have a secret weapon.

I figured I would be the one chosen to move.

Regardless of the rank, anyone who has something to say, say it.

For the past week, we practiced really hard.

Although I seemed unstable,

I'd like you to have trust in me.

I was nervous.

I don't have a major role in the team.

My part isn't exactly significant.

If I become the vocal,

I'm sure this team will find me helpful.

I...

I...

Even if I take a part other than the main vocal,

I'll try my best to be a beneficial member.

I do acknowledge that we have too many vocals in this team.

I was never a vocal member from the beginning.

I don't know what happened here.

I was never a vocal member.

I'm not planning to compete against you.

If you think you have to compete for the main vocal,

you don't have a reason to move me.

Get it?

She's appealing herself.

I was nervous that I would be voted out.

Should I call it a defense?

I wanted to walk with you

Full of excitement

You already know the song, Yu Ri.

That was pretty scary.

Now, we're going to vote for the trainee to move.

What's going to happen to Japanese trainees?

Sakura and Nako.

(Write the list of trainees necessary for the team in priority.)

(Yabuki Nako and Miyawaki Sakura voted first.)

("I Wish")

- They did? - They did?

Gosh.

It's always Kim first.

I like you a lot.

You're very pretty, Min Ju.

(Member adjustment vote begins.)

This is too hard.

Are we going to be rated...

according to our rank?

(Yes)

I should be careful about it.

Don't look. No.

(Peep)

I'm curious.

(Sighing)

This is a problem.

(Who will be the 2 trainees to move?)

(1 person has to move from "Rumor".)

Everyone's good at singing and dancing.

I'm not sure.

(I'm not sure who should move.)

The rap is the problem.

We don't have a rapper right now.

What am I going to do?

Since we have Cho Won...

for an extra main vocal,

I was able to compare them.

("Rumor" vocal and rap class)

Personally, Cho Won...

was very good. She has no problem.

Cho Won's in vocal position. She's also very good.

I thought if I'm gone,

they're all in the same position.

You know, I was actually in the main vocal position.

But whether it's a rap or whatever,

I want to stay in "Rumor".

I feel confident about rap.

You want to present an unexpected twist.

- That's nice. - "Unexpected twist."

You're totally unexpected.

I will do anything. Please pick me.

I thought I was most likely to...

be moved out of the team.

Even if I have to rap, I wanted to stay in "Rumor".

Trainee Han Cho Won.

Cho Won. I don't mind any positions.

Cho Won. I think I was born to be a rapper.

Burn everyone else's story

(Burn everyone else's story)

(Who's going to be the trainee to move?)

(1 person has to move from "I Am".)

This song will help me gain confidence.

I want to show what I have through this song.

This is my first time as a leader.

I'd like to help you.

I hope to stay in this team.

For me...

This song about being sexy and cute.

I'm confident in both things.

I feel confident about expressing this song.

I'm desperate. I beg you.

Ye Na is bright, and people were talking about...

how she's good at expressing it.

("I Am" vocal and rap class)

- Chae Yeon first. - Yes.

(Lee Chae Yeon and Choi Ye Na are in the same position.)

As soon as I listened to it,

I realized it suits Ye Na better.

Chae Yeon lacks rhythm when she sings.

Either Chae Yeon leaves or I leave.

I think it's one of us.

I realized in the dance class...

("I Am" dance class)

I realized that I don't really stand out.

It felt like no one would notice...

even if I skip my part here.

I asked myself if I'm really necessary...

for this performance.

(1 person has to move from "Rollin' Rollin'".)

I really love the song.

I believe I fit into...

the refreshing and exciting song.

In the vocal class, the teacher said...

my voice matches...

this song.

("Rollin' Rollin'" vocal and rap class)

(Honda Hitomi from AKB48 and Jang Won Young from Starship)

She's good.

Hitomi matches this song.

Thank you.

I believe National Producers have a reason...

to put me in this song.

Since National Producers put me in this position,

I'd like to keep it.

Would you let me stay? Would you?

(Would you let me stay? Would you?)

(Laughing)

I'm very desperate.

(Her unexpected sweetness makes the other trainees laugh.)

(However, Trainee Goto Moe does not laugh.)

I have the lowest rank in "Rollin' Rollin'",

so I was nervous.

("Let's Meet Again" needs 1 more member.)

I have no idea who will come.

Miru definitely won't be eliminated.

The same goes for Hitomi.

And Won Young won't be eliminated no matter what.

Na Young won't be eliminated either as she's the main vocalist.

- Then who's left? - Moe...

- or Do Ah. - Do Ah won't be eliminated.

Then will it be Moe?

Maybe.

("Rollin' Rollin'" Team Member Adjustment Announcement)

(Who will stay on the team as the number one member?)

(Jang Won Young, Starship Entertainment)

- Who is it? - Thank you.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Her looks and facial expressions suit the song, "Rollin' Rollin'",

very well.

I think she'll be able to flaunt various charms.

I voted for her because I think she's talented.

Second place.

(Kim Na Young, Banana Culture)

- My gosh! - Congratulations.

Thank you.

(Honda Hitomi is the third member to stay on the team.)

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

(Kim Do Ah from Fent Entertainment is the fourth one to stay.)

There's only one spot left now.

Miru and Moe haven't been called yet.

(Shiroma Miru from NMB48 and Goto Moe from AKB48 are left.)

(Which one of them will have to go to a different team?)

(Goto Moe from AKB48 has to move to a different team.)

When Moe sings or dances, she tends to go a bit too fast.

(During the dance class for Team "Rollin' Rollin'")

Stay on beat.

Moe, you're going way too fast.

You're ruining the whole thing because you're going too fast.

Dancing in unison is very important for this specific song,

so I wondered if she'd improve and do a good job.

Considering the overall image of the team,

I didn't think Moe was right for the team.

I saw it coming.

At first, I was upset.

But it actually motivated me and made me even more competitive.

(Moe arrives at the waiting room for surplus trainees.)

Whether I win or not on this show,

I absolutely don't want to lose to Team "Rollin' Rollin'".

(Voting Results for Team "Rumor")

("Rumor" Team Member Adjustment Announcement)

Gosh, I'm scared.

(Who will stay on the team as the number 1 member?)

(Members Who Are Staying)

(Kwon Eun Bi, Woollim Entertainment)

(Kwon Eun Bi from Woollim is staying as the team's number 1.)

Eun Bi has great leadership skills.

She's doing an excellent job as our team leader.

She's also very talented.

She's an amazing dancer.

She'll be a great help to the team.

(Who will stay on the team as the second-best member?)

(Kim Shi Hyun, Yue Hua)

Seriously? Oh, my gosh.

Thank you.

(Kim Shi Hyun from Yue Hua is the second one to stay.)

(Lee Sian from Stone Music is the third member to stay on the team.)

Gosh. Now, it's going to get really scary.

(Kwon Eun Bi, Kim Shi Hyun, Lee Sian)

I thought, "My name won't be there."

I thought the team's concept...

suit all the remaining members very well.

And for that reason, I gave up hope.

This is so nerve-racking.

(Han Cho Won, Shitao Miu, and Murase Sae are left.)

(Which one of them will be pushed out of the team?)

(Shitao Miu from AKB48 is pushed out of the team.)

(Trainee to Leave the Team: Shitao Miu)

Okay, thank you.

I thought that I might have to leave the team,

but I couldn't believe it when I was actually...

pushed out of the team.

I totally thought you'd stay on the team for "Rollin' Rollin'".

I knew I'd get pushed out.

What if Juri ends up here too?

What? Hold on, what if only Japanese trainees end up here?

I don't know what to do.

("I Am" Team Member Adjustment Announcement)

Here we go.

Please...

Peel it off, please.

(Who will stay on the team as the number 1 member?)

(Members Who Are Staying)

(Lee Ka Eun, Pledis Entertainment)

Lee Ka Eun.

(Lee Ka Eun from Pledis is staying as the team's number 1.)

- Congratulations - My gosh!

I think Ka Eun's sexy and cute charms...

suit the song perfectly.

The trainers gave her high praise during the lessons.

I think her voice and looks go very well with the song.

(Who will stay on the team as the second-best member?)

Judging from her face, I think it's Ye Na.

(Choi Ye Na from Yue Hua is the second member to stay on the team.)

- This is so nerve-racking. - Me?

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Now, let's find out who came in third place.

It's totally unexpected.

- Please just show us. - Show us!

(Heo Yun Jin, Pledis Entertainment)

(Heo Yun Jin from Pledis is the third member to stay on the team.)

Now, let's find out who came in fourth place.

I'll reveal which one of you came in fourth place.

(Takahashi Juri from AKB48 is the fourth member to stay on the team.)

Seriously?

You rock!

(Between Ahn Yoo Jin and Lee Chae Yeon, who will take the last spot?)

I feel like I'll see Yoo Jin's face as soon as...

- I think she'll be there too. - I open the door.

With a big smile on her face,

she'll be like, "Yi Ren!"

The song, "I Am", suits Yoo Jin very well,

but so does "1,000 Percent" and "Let's Meet Again".

If I get to stay on the team,

it'll be like a miracle in and of itself,

so I'll work even harder for Team "I Am".

If I must leave the team because my name isn't on the list,

I'll do my best so that I can beat Team "I Am".

- What? - Gosh, Yoo Jin.

- Don't say that. - Don't leave.

To be honest, I don't think my name will be on the list.

I don't know what to say because I'm very nervous right now.

(Ahn Yoo Jin from Starship and Lee Chae Yeon from WM are left.)

(Which one of them will be pushed out of the team?)

I'll peel off the rest now.

(Lee Chae Yeon from WM is pushed out of the team.)

- I don't believe this. - Chae Yeon.

- Gosh, Chae Yeon. - Chae Yeon.

(Trainee to Leave the Team: Lee Chae Yeon)

It's okay. I'm all right.

I'm okay.

Gosh, why am I crying?

Why are you girls crying?

I have to leave the team now, but I'll continue to do my best.

You're fooling us, right? Is this for real?

I thought you suit the song, "I Am", the best.

Being a good dancer isn't everything, you know.

Singing well is equally important.

Or maybe my face isn't expressive enough.

Now, I have no idea who else will end up joining us here.

("I Wish" Team Member Adjustment Announcement)

I can't think of any reason I'm needed in the team.

Take Go Eun for example. She's another low-ranking trainee,

but she's the main vocalist, whereas I'm not.

Go slow. Peel it off slowly.

My gosh, I'm starting to see the chart.

The trainee is...

(Who will stay on the team as the number 1 member?)

(Yabuki Nako from HKT48 is staying as the team's number 1.)

- I voted for Yabuki Nako. - I picked Nako as number one.

I think her refreshing, girly charms and voice are perfect for the song.

("I Wish", Members Who Are Staying)

Oh, is it me?

(Na Go Eun from RBW is the second member to stay on the team.)

I'm so relieved.

- The third member is... - Go on.

(Kim Chae Won from Woollim is the third member to stay on the team.)

(Jo Yu Ri, Stone Music)

Jo Yu Ri.

(Jo Yu Ri from Stone Music is the fourth member to stay on the team.)

(Which trainee will take the last spot?)

Gosh, hold on a moment.

Now, Min Ju, Sakura, and I are the only ones left.

Why do I get a feeling that my name won't be there?

Yu Ri, did you get a peek?

- You saw the name, right? - Yes, I did.

Is she here now?

(Kim Min Ju from Urban Works, Jang Gyu Ri from Stone Music,)

(and Miyawaki Sakura from HKT48 are the remaining members.)

Is she here now?

- Yes. - My gosh!

(The candidates are narrowed down...)

(to Jang Gyu Ri from Stone Music and Kim Min Ju from Urban Works.)

(It's confirmed that Miyawaki Sakura will leave the team.)

Sakura mentioned once that she's struggling with the song...

because its vocal range is very high.

What do you think of this song? Do you think it suits you?

It's a bit challenging because the vocal range is quite high for me.

Oh, really? I see.

(Each member tries singing her part.)

Sakura, you seem to be struggling with the high notes.

- Yes, I am. - How can I help her improve?

Sakura finds this song very challenging.

I think she'll find another song...

a lot easier.

(Jang Gyu Ri from Stone Music...)

(and Kim Min Ju from Urban Works are the last 2 left.)

(Which one of them will be pushed out of the team?)

I'll peel off the rest.

National Producers picked this song for us, you know.

It's such a meaningful song to us,

so I'd really like to perform it on stage.

I thought to myself, "Would the members think that there's..."

"a specific reason I'm absolutely needed in the team?"

I don't think I'm confident about myself.

(The members who must leave the team are finally revealed.)

My gosh.

(Trainees to Leave the Team: Miyawaki Sakura from HKT48)

("I Wish")

(Trainees to Leave the Team: Miyawaki Sakura from HKT48)

(And)

- Min Ju? - Hello, girls.

(Trainees to Leave the Team: Miyawaki Sakura from HKT48)

(Kim Min Ju from Urban Works)

(Miyawaki Sakura from HKT48, Kim Min Ju from Urban Works)

My gosh.

I'm okay, everyone.

I did think that I might get pushed out of the team,

but as soon as I saw my name in the dark background,

I thought it was like my future.

I felt hopeless.

I thought that I might be able to...

prove my potential through the Concept Evaluation,

and that made me want to work even harder.

But this happened, so I'm a little...

I'm disappointed.

I really wanted to perform "I Wish".

It's okay though. I'll just do a good job with a different song.

You can do it.

Which song do you want to perform?

I want to join Team "1,000 Percent".

I want to perform "1,000 Percent".

I want to join Team "Let's Meet Again".

I wasn't completely hopeless though.

"Let's Meet Again" was my second best pick.

I told myself, "I can still join that team, so it's okay."

I haven't considered either of the two songs.

The thing is, they're both cute songs.

When I performed "Very Very Very",

people said that the song didn't suit me.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to do a good job this time.

Frankly, I didn't think...

that I'd be able to pull off either of the two songs,

so I'm not confident.

Trainees who were pushed out of their original teams...

will join the teams that are short of members.

Team "Let's Meet Again" with the highest-ranking trainee,

Kang Hye Won, who's in third place, will choose a new member first.

- Gosh. - Hey.

(New members for the 2 teams will be chosen this way.)

I love you Hye Won.

The other surplus trainees will automatically join...

Miyazaki Miho's team, Team "1,000 Percent".

- But I've heard of... - My goodness.

(Out of the original 10 members,)

(only AKB48's Miyazaki Miho survived.)

I miss my teammates.

We were practicing together until a few minutes ago, but they all left.

I felt so lonely.

I had no idea what to do.

I was literally panicking.

- Oh, my goodness! - I'm so curious.

Shall we stand like this to look intimidating?

Hae Yoon, you don't look intimidating at all.

It's just that your image is...

(The surplus trainees are headed to meet Team "Let's Meet Again".)

- My guess was right. - They're already... What?

What is this? This is shocking.

Sakura is one of you too, right?

- I'm so shocked. - This is really shocking.

I had no idea that Sakura would get pushed out of her team.

I kept bringing her up only because I was hoping she'd join our team,

not because I expected her to get pushed out.

Does any of you want to perform "Let's Meet Again"?

I do.

Why do you want to perform "Let's Meet Again"?

It's one of the songs that I thought I could perform well.

If you help me out, I'm confident that I can do my very best.

- I'm suddenly so torn. - I know.

I tried to show them how desperate I am.

Hae Yoon's eyes met mine,

so I thought I could have a bit of hope.

Okay, okay? All right.

The trainee we'd like to recruit is...

(Which trainee will they pick?)

I thought, "Please let it be me." I was really hoping they'd pick me.

- That's the trainee we chose. - Best of luck.

(Which 4 trainees will automatically join Team "1,000 Percent"?)

(Goto Moe from AKB48 will join Team "1,000 Percent".)

Hi!

(Lee Chae Yeon from WM...)

(and Shitao Miu from AKB48 are also joining the team.)

(And)

The trainee we'd like on our team...

is Miyawaki Sakura.

(Team "Let's Meet Again" chose Miyawaki Sakura from HKT48.)

We're sorry.

Her image as the center member in the performance of "Pick Me"...

is exactly what we need at the moment.

That's why we picked Sakura.

I was a bit upset because this means that I can't perform...

any of the songs that I wanted to perform.

And I keep getting pushed out, so...

I think I lost even more confidence because it keeps happening.

(Goto Moe, Lee Chae Yeon, and Shitao Miu join Team "1,000 Percent".)

Min Ju! What is happening?

Are you girls okay? Please don't cry. We'll be okay.

"1,000 Percent" is a great song, you know.

I love this.

Min Ju, yellow is the perfect color for you.

- Don't cry. - I hated orange.

- It's such a dull color, isn't it? - Seriously?

This is so refreshing. It's so nice. I love it.

As you know, the competition isn't over yet.

"1,000 Percent" is a great song,

and I can still participate in the Concept Evaluation.

I told myself that I have to get my spirits up...

so that I can do an outstanding job with "1,000 Percent".

- I'm excited to team up with you. - Same here.

Thank you.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm doing surprise checks.

You won't do that on stage, right?

It's a very serious problem.

Volunteer to be the center only when you can pull off at least one thing.

(Things are peaceful at Produce 48 Training Center.)

(Individual training session for the Concept Evaluation)

(Every team is practicing hard.)

(A mysterious car visits the training center.)

(This guy looks familiar.)

(Let's see if the trainees are practicing hard.)

(He sneaks in successfully.)

(Lee Seung Gi visits Produce 48 Training Center.)

(Team "I Am" has no idea that he's here.)

(He slowly makes a move.)

My gosh!

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(Trainees, you're surprised, right?)

(My gosh, Representative Lee is here!)

Representative Lee is here.

(Rushing)

(We can't make him wait. Move quickly, move!)

- Hello. - Hello.

Hi. Hi, girls. Come here.

(Representative Lee and the 30 trainees are gathered in one place.)

The evaluations that are left...

- There isn't much left, you know. - Right.

I wanted to encourage you girls and help you out.

That's why I'm here today.

Is there anything you wanted to talk to me about? Let's talk openly.

Is anything stressful or... Yes.

My ranking has dropped,

and I even got pushed out of my original team,

so I've been feeling lost and stuck.

I feel as if I've forgotten where I was headed.

I feel lost and restless.

Have you ever felt that way yourself?

I think it's very natural that you're feeling that way.

You see, let's think of it this way.

Let's say we're watching a soccer game.

The score is 3 to 0 until 10 minutes before the end of the game.

Do you want to see the players give up and play begrudgingly...

for the last couple of minutes?

Or do you want to see players try their best until the end...

because anything can happen in the final moments of the game?

I think spectators would much rather prefer...

to watch people try their best until the very end.

There's also a saying that goes like this.

"Harsh waves create skillful seamen."

So if you can get through this,

you'll become stronger people within without even realizing it.

When I see my ranking,

it's clear that my popularity completely dropped.

Have you ever experienced something similar, Representative Lee?

- No. - No.

No.

No?

- No. - No.

Rather than focusing on popularity, I think...

The moment you start obsessing over what you did wrong...

or what more you could do better as a result of your rank,

the original charm that you possess may become buried.

I worry that you won't be able to show your true potential.

So I want you to focus on what you're best at...

and try your best at showcasing that up until the very end.

All right. Thank you.

And at the very least, don't worry...

about being 28th place or 30th place...

when you're on stage.

Just focus on your role onstage when you're on stage,

That's the most important thing, in my opinion.

- All right. - Work hard.

I think it's best to think things like, "I'm the best",

if only for that moment.

I don't know how to say this in Japanese,

but in Korean, it's called "self-love".

You need to love yourself more.

Anyway, the one thing I want to leave you all with is...

think a bit more...

about your own individual color.

Be honest and raise your hand if you read comments about yourself online.

Raise your hand. He's talking about you.

(What about you?)

You search your name every day!

Do you read a lot of comments about yourself, Sian?

You check to see how many hits you get for your name every day.

And you see what comes up on the related searches.

If you search for comments...

and to see how many hits your name gets, raise your hand.

Hurry up and raise your hand.

(Most of the trainees raise their hand.)

You don't look up the videos of you that go up, Nako?

(I check them a lot.)

(Hitomi checks them too.)

Checking it is fine. Just look at it and leave it at that.

You can see how many hits and comments you got,

and just immediately skip past them.

Be like, "There's so many!" and leave it at that.

I hope you won't just focus on those...

and lose your own individual color.

All right.

The entire training team will be here soon.

(So this is what's happening.)

They're doing a surprise evaluation of your skills.

(I knew this was happening.)

There's one thing I want to say to you all, everyone.

Performing in front of the trainers who are looking at you like this...

is the hardest thing to do.

That's why it's only natural that you'll make mistakes.

If you make mistakes and get criticized,

you can think, "This is great since I just need to focus on this..."

"in order to get better."

- Okay. - Okay.

At any rate, don't get sad when you get evaluated today.

- All right. - All right.

- You can do it. - We can do this.

(We can do it!)

It was really nice.

He told us things that were really helpful to hear,

so I was quite touched.

It made me feel like he cares for us,

which made me happy.

(The empty chairs are waiting to be filled.)

(New guests who have come to see the trainees)

(And the Produce 48 Training Team)

Hello.

- Please sing for us. - All right.

(It's belting time!)

(Tons of swag)

Turn once in the middle.

Turn once in the middle, Yoon Jung.

- Turn. - Yes, we all did it.

(That's easy.)

Do a pirouette.

Why do you keep asking me to do things?

(Still, she does whatever she is asked to do.)

(An A for the turn)

A.

(Who will be sitting in the final seat?)

(National Producer Representative Lee Seung Gi)

Do a turn in the middle.

- Do a turn in the middle. - Turn.

(High expectations)

Goodness.

(This is the representative's turn.)

Goodness.

Isn't this the first time we're all gathered here together?

- Yes. - It is.

It's the first time.

I'm the representative today, and you're a trainer.

I'm an investor.

You're here as an investor? Okay, sure.

- I apologize. - I'm here as an investor.

- I see. I apologize. - Yes.

Why did you seat them next to one another?

They'll be chatting so much.

(The Produce 48 trainees come in.)

Aren't you a bit too excited?

(Attacking him)

I can't even be peppy?

(The trainees seem to be quite nervous.)

The trainers should all...

greet the trainees in a friendly manner before they begin.

You should say hello first, Representative Lee.

I already came earlier and did that.

- Really? - Yes.

We didn't see that, so do it again.

(Giggling)

Nice to see you all.

We have some new trainers here today...

besides the ones you're used to seeing.

- Yes. - Yes.

Hello, I'm Chae Da Som, the choreographer of "Let's Meet Again".

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Hello, I'm Lee Sol Mi, and I choreographed "I Wish".

I'm Han Seung Hee, and I choreographed "1000 Percent".

You don't have anything to add, right, Trainer Lee Hong Ki?

- No, I do. - Okay then.

We'll see just how far you've gotten,

and work on fixing the parts that need work.

So let's be relaxed as we go through this today.

- All right. - All right.

The first team we'll be taking a look at is Team "Rollin' Rollin'".

(Team "Rollin' Rollin'" begins their first evaluation.)

Hitomi and Won Young were both tentative centers,

but both of them survived.

- The centers are Hitomi... - Yes.

- and Won Young. - Yes.

If both of you survive the ranking announcements,

which one of you will become the center?

(If both of them survive, they have to choose a new center.)

Who's the center now?

(Who is the new center for "Rollin' Rollin'"?)

We'll be choosing the center now.

Raise your hand if you want to be the center.

(Center candidates for "Rollin' Rollin'")

(Jang Won Young of Starship versus Honda Hitomi of AKB48)

I've never been the center before.

I know that I was the tentative center, but now that I was chosen...

I've become more confident, and I want to stay as the center.

First of all, I think that National Producers...

haven give me an amazing gift.

Trainee Jang Won Young of Starship is ranked 1st place.

(Trainee Jang Won Young of Starship was ranked 1st place.)

So I want to repay them by becoming the center.

I really want to be the center.

Are you ready? Ready, go.

(Center Candidate Number 1: Honda Hitomi of AKB48)

She's so cute.

Ready, go.

(Center Candidate Number 2: Jang Won Young of Starship)

- Nice. - Nice.

(Who do you want to pick?)

I feel like Hitomi has...

an innocence and a refreshing quality about her.

On the other hand, Won Young is cute and lively.

When the center is standing in the middle,

it'll look nice to have Won Young in the center, just height-wise.

But Hitomi is praised more for her dancing than Won Young is.

When it comes to Hitomi... Won Young has great facial expressions.

So you'll have to work on your facial expressions a lot, Hitomi.

As for you, Won Young, your dancing isn't as good as Hitomi's.

You need to work on your dancing more.

Goodness.

I really can't choose. This is so hard.

(Excuse me.)

Hey.

I'll tell you the reason why I want to be the center,

so I'd like it if you could lend me an ear.

I know that I fall short a bit when it comes to my facial expressions,

so I wanted to convey my feelings with my words.

When I heard this song,

I felt really confident and wanted to be the center...

for the first time.

So I want to be the center as a way of taking on a challenge.

As for me, I want to take control of the focus and roles in our group,

and help our team do well.

I want to do well as the center...

and make sure we all get the extra votes.

(The other members minus Shiroma Miru discuss this among themselves.)

First of all,

we chose the person who will be the center, and...

The center is...

Won Young.

(Center for "Rollin' Rollin'": Jang Won Young of Starship)

When we put Won Young in the middle as the center,

it'll look better since she's the only one who is that all.

That's why we chose Won Young as the center.

Sorry.

No, no, no.

No, it's not okay. It's not okay.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I was upset that I couldn't become the official center,

but I thought that I need to try harder.

Shall we choose our parts, then?

Is there anyone who wants to be the main vocalist?

- Hitomi? - No.

No, thank you.

What about the 1st supporting vocalist?

Hitomi?

The 1st supporting vocalist has a high note...

in the song.

I'm afraid I'll just become a burden to you all.

(Vocal classes during "Pick Me")

Your voice is really unstable.

What about 2nd supporting vocalist?

The role I want...

is 2nd supporting vocalist,

but then Miru will have to switch parts.

2nd supporting vocalist?

(Shiroma Miru has the role of 2nd supporting vocalist.)

Miru.

Shiroma Miru isn't in Korea right now,

so I was debating if it'd be okay for me to just take her part.

(Deliberating)

Even so...

I'll try my hardest...

Really?

Yes.

Thank you.

I didn't want to run away, and decided I'd face this head-on.

That's why I decided to try being the 1st supporting vocalist.

(They start practicing with their new parts.)

(How do I say this?)

- Is it "dizzying"? - What?

- Yes. - I see.

- "Dizzying". - "Dizzying".

Beating my, beating my, beating my

Beating my, beating my

This is pretty hard.

(Trying to help her with the pitch)

- Doo. - Doo.

- Doo. - Doo.

Beating my, beating my, beating my heart

This feeling

(Hitomi is having a hard time.)

If I work hard and don't get frustrated, I'll see good results.

Even though I'm not the center,

I'll work hard so that I can shine brighter than anyone else.

(She continues practicing at the dorms.)

(Will Honda Hitomi be able to learn her part well?)

Please go ahead.

- She's so cute. - She's like a baby.

To be honest, I think Honda Hitomi...

sang her part very well.

I agree, Hitomi sang her part so well.

Thank you.

To me, the fact that Won Young is the center now...

3, 4, and 1. Even Jang Won Young is crumbling.

(Jang Won Young was criticized during the dance class.)

I think it was a good choice, since she's doing well.

Yes, she's doing a good job.

I felt relieved.

This team as a whole is pretty stable for the most part,

but it feels low-energy though it's supposed to feel refreshing.

And since that energy isn't there,

your shortcomings are much more pronounced.

Like, when you do this, you're just doing it in place.

And then you do this, so it feels a bit frustrating to watch.

(A crucial part of their dance is criticized.)

Isn't the rolls an important part of the choreography?

Yes. When my dance crew did it,

they were perfectly in sync, so it really stood out.

- But they can't do this well. - Yes, they're doing it passively.

(Comparison between the two teams' body roll in "Rollin' Rollin'")

I wish you'd follow through with the note powerfully, Kim Na Young.

Just sing it powerfully until the end, with confidence.

Are you sick, Na Young?

No, no.

Every time you go into the middle, the mood goes down.

Make it more cheerful, okay?

(Kim Na Young looked more uneasy than usual.)

Does Na Young's face always look this awkward?

Not usually, but she looks pretty uncomfortable today.

I think she's nervous.

I tend to be...

a bit more energetic on most other days,

so I was confident in that aspect, but...

(Trainee Kim Na Young is always cheerful.)

First, the main vocalist. Kim Na Young.

I'm not confident.

Are you feeling down, Leader?

You're right. I'm feeling pretty down.

We're performing a song that hasn't been released yet,

so I feel a lot more pressure than I usually do.

And I think it brought down my confidence.

What's with this mood? This is bad.

Why isn't the mood getting brighter?

What's with our team's mood?

Let's all count down together in a fun way.

- Okay! - Okay.

We'll start the practice now! Ready, go.

(Shaking around)

(Na Young has tons of energy.)

(Rollin' Rollin')

We can just do it like that.

Stage, stage

Goodness.

I'll practice more and more,

rediscover my confidence, and make sure...

that our "Rollin' Rollin'" performance has tons of energy.

The winner of the 130,000 extra votes is...

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Next up, we'll have Team "I Wish" perform.

(Picking parts for "I Wish")

We originally had two main vocalists.

We have to choose just one now.

Right now, we have...

Yu Ri and Go Eun are going up against each other again?

- Yes. - I see.

- You'll have to do well, then. - Yes.

Yu Ri and I are quite close,

but we ended up facing off again like this.

(When choosing roles for "Energetic",)

(Go Eun lost the role of main vocalist to Yu Ri.)

To be honest, Yu Ri suited "Energetic" better.

But I think my voice suits this song better.

- Let's hear you one at a time. - All right.

(Jo Yu Ri tries singing the high part first.)

Okay.

Yu Ri is a great singer too, and I fully acknowledge all that.

But I really want to show everyone what I've got this time.

(Na Go Eun tries singing the same part as well.)

Can you turn off the music for a second?

As a whole...

you two have totally different vibes.

- You know the last part you sang? - Yes.

It seems a bit too high for you.

- All right. - And...

Yu Ri sings the chorus a lot better than you.

Your voice isn't as strong as Yu Ri's.

- Yes. - Sing with more power.

All right.

It'd be a lie to say that I didn't feel uncomfortable.

But up until now,

I haven't been able to show National Producers...

that I can sing well.

I really want to be the main vocalist this time.

Well, we have to choose just one.

Let's choose one person after hearing both of you sing.

- All right. - All right.

Is it okay if I warm up before I go?

(I applaud your passion.)

I felt that I really had to become the main vocalist this time,

and I really wanted it.

(She puts her all into warming up.)

I really want to be the main vocalist this time.

I felt that the reason why National Producers chose this song for me...

was because they wanted me to show them...

another side to my voice.

I really want to be the main vocalist too.

I'll give it a try now.

(Each person will sing the part, and the team will vote.)

(Main Vocals Candidate Number 1: Jo Yu Ri of Stone Music)

(Main Vocals Candidate Number 2: Na Go Eun of RBW)

I really want to stand onstage as the main vocalist of "I Wish".

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

What do I do?

Both of you are so good.

Well...

I think that this song...

suits Go Eun a bit better.

So I pick Go Eun.

To be honest, Yu Ri seems more stable...

when singing the high notes.

But...

I think the song suits Go Eun more.

What do I do?

(Na Go Eun of RBW versus Jo Yu Ri of Stone Music)

Sorry, Yu Ri.

It's fine.

It just suits her so well.

I think it'd be best...

for you to practice that unstable high note a bit more, though.

All right, I'll practice.

Thank you.

(Main vocalist of "I Wish": Na Go Eun of RBW)

I finally got the role of main vocalist.

This is my first time being the main vocalist,

so I'll work hard so my team members won't feel uneasy.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello.

(Seo Yong Bae, Lee Sang Ho Composers of "I Wish")

Wasn't the song a bit high-pitched for you when you were practicing it?

(Self-practice time)

This song is way too high-pitched.

Yes, it really is.

There aren't any low parts.

It was kind of high as a whole, yes.

- It was, right? - Yes.

You know the part that goes like Oh yeah, like that day

This is half a pitch higher than the high F...

that Yeon Jung sang back in Season One.

It's an F sharp.

(The high note for "I Wish" is higher than...)

(the high note for "In the Same Place" in Produce 101.)

It's too high.

Since I've become the main vocalist,

I'll become the second Yu Yeon Jung.

I saw the parts you all chose for yourselves,

and I want to see all of you singing the whole song through once,

since there could be another person who does a part better.

I'm sorry to the people whose parts were chosen already,

but is it okay for me to switch things up if you fall short?

(The composers can reassign parts based on that they think is best.)

Why are you doing this, when I just got the part of main vocalist?

You need to do well...

- when you're given a chance. - All right.

I kept thinking, "I need to do really well."

(The composers start the evaluation to reassign parts.)

Who wants to go first? Nako?

- Good luck, Nako. - Good luck.

(Bringing the mic down)

How low must the mic go down?

She's so cute.

(Supporting Vocals 1: Yabuki Nako of HKT48)

Her pronunciation is really good.

She can hit the note.

(She can't reach that note.)

It's the first time I've seen Nako struggle to reach a note.

So there are songs that even too high for Nako.

It was hard.

(Supporting Vocals 3: Jang Gyu Ri of Stone Music)

Goodness.

- It's high. It's pretty high. - It's really high.

- Yes, it's pretty high. - Yes.

(Supporting Vocals 4 and Center: Kim Chae Won of Woollim)

- Good work. - All right, thank you.

- Go Eun. - Yes?

You can do it. You can do it.

- You can do it. - Break a leg.

I'm nervous.

Let's get started now.

(Main Vocals: Na Go Eun of RBW)

I want to hear them say something like,

"You did well, Go Eun."

[VIU Ver] Mnet E09 Produce 48 "Team Adjustments" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

She's not quite there.

- It's really high. - Go Eun.

Well, good job.

- Good job. - Good job.

- Really? - You usually do a lot better.

- You got nervous, didn't you? - Yes.

Gosh, what a shame.

I wanted to show them what I could do,

but I think my pitch fell short at certain parts.

What?

What is this volume?

I wasn't able to be the main vocalist.

I think that National Producers...

picked me for my vocal skills.

So If I'm not able to showcase my voice this time around,

I may not be able to go onstage next time.

I kept thinking that.

That was why I wanted it that much more.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

- Let's start. - All right.

(Supporting Vocals 2: Jo Yu Ri of Stone Music)

Everyone can do up to this part.

Good job, Yu Ri.

Good work. You did well.

- You can come out now. - Thank you.

She can hit it.

She hit the F sharp.

Each one of you went into the recording booth.

All of you sing well, and the song suits all of you.

And you sing your own parts well, for the most part.

But...

the one thing that's getting to me...

is the highlight of this song.

- It's Go Eun's part, right? - Yes.

But, well...

It seems to be a bit too high for you.

Yu Ri sings the chorus better.

You should practice that unstable high note a bit more.

I'm in 29th place right now.

And this really could be my last performance.

So I practiced really hard.

When we heard you sing it, Go Eun, you were pretty good.

But to be honest, you fall short a bit.

You can't sing it powerfully,

but Yu Ri can sing it powerfully.

Yu Ri can sing it powerfully,

but she lacks a sense of rhythm.

So my personal opinion is...

I want the main vocalist to be...

(What were the results of the part reassignments?)

Up next, Team "I Am".

(The evaluation for Team "I Am" begins.)

Goodness, this team is full of all of the talented girls.

(Team "I Am" is full of people with higher rankings.)

(Heo Yun Jin, 11th; Ahn Yoo Jin, 4th; Choi Ye Na, 16th place)

All of our roles have been reset now,

and we need to reassign all the parts.

So I think we need to start with choosing a new center.

So, who wants to do it?

Please raise your hand.

(Center Candidate Number 1: Lee Ka Eun of Pledis)

(Center Candidate Number 2: Ahn Yoo Jin of Starship)

(Center Candidate Number 3: Takahashi Juri of AKB48)

(Center Candidate Number 4: Choi Ye Na of Yue Hua)

(4 of the 5 members of Team "I Am" want to be the center.)

I kept thinking that this song really suit me well...

while I was practicing it.

So I had thoughts of really wanting to be the center...

of a song that I feel like it suits me well...

while I was practicing.

To be honest, all of us know this song,

and we've watched it be performed a lot.

So how should we choose?

Here's an idea.

Since we have five members now,

how about we record ourselves, taking turns as the center?

A video assessment.

Yes.

I'll play the song. Please start recording.

(Center Candidate 1: Choi Ye Na of Yue Hua)

(Center Candidate 2: Takahashi Juri of AKB48)

(Center Candidate 3: Lee Ka Eun of Pledis)

Next up, Yoo Jin.

I've never been the center.

And when we were doing "Very Very Very",

(When deciding the center for Group 1 of "Very Very Very"...)

(she lost the center spot to Jang Won Young from her agency.)

Thank you.

That really hurt me. But I've gotten used to it now.

(She lost the center spot to Kwon Eun Bi for "Sorry Not Sorry".)

The same thing happened for "Sorry Not Sorry".

Raise your hand if you want Yoo Jin as the center.

And for "I Am", too. I've never been chosen once.

I wasn't even a candidate.

So I always doubt myself a bit...

before I put on a face.

(Center Candidate 4: Ahn Yoo Jin of Starship)

Let's take a look now.

Please look at the video and their facial expressions.

All right.

(Team "I Am" checks the footage to choose their center.)

- All right. - All right.

This just makes it harder.

This is hard.

We'll vote.

Pick the person who you want as the center.

- Including yourself? - Yes, including yourself.

- Really? - Yes.

Yes.

Goodness.

I really want to be the center.

I think that being the center on "Produce 48"...

either makes or breaks you.

Ye Na?

(Choi Ye Na of Yue Hua: 0 votes)

Ka Eun.

(Lee Ka Eun of Pledis: 3 votes)

Wait, let's start over!

- What? - What?

- I really don't know. - All of the sudden?

Should I be the center, thought it'll be hard?

Or do I vote for Ka Eun,

who is a safe vote and has been a center before?

But when I raised my hand to be the center,

I want to be the center so badly that I'm going crazy,

so I said, "Wait!"

(Honest)

It was difficult because I couldn't resolve this inner conflict.

Let's do this.

(The vote for the center of "I Am" starts over.)

(What did Ahn Yoo Jin decide on?)

All right.

All right, okay.

The center is...

Ka Eun.

(Lee Ka Eun of Pledis is the center for "I Am".)

Please raise your hands to vote for Ka Eun.

(Ka Eun got four votes in total including Yoo Jin's...)

(and was chosen as the center.)

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I've realized a lot of things as I've been on this show.

And I've started doubting if I could be a center more.

Even so, I'll continue trying to be a center.

I'm not scared anymore.

1, 2, 3.

- Hello. - Hello.

We will bring you comfort at the end of your day.

Good work today.

- We are 1am! - We are 1am!

- Wait, what? - "Good work today, 1am".

- 1am? - Yes.

Get it? Because 1am looks like "I am".

I like your team's introduction, but...

- Juri. - Yes?

Let's go with the politer form of "Good work today".

Good work today.

I apologize.

(She apologizes to National Producers.)

Good work today!

She's so cute.

Ka Eun is the leader and center this time too.

Who wanted to be a center?

- All of them. - All of them.

Why not you, Yun Jin?

- Because she's the main vocalist. - Because she's the main vocalist?

Wait, but if 4 out of 5 wanted to be the center,

surely they would've voted for themselves.

Didn't you watch the show?

I mean, I did, but I was always curious.

Did you not watch it?

I did, but I've always been curious.

- Go ahead. - All right.

Let's do well, you guys.

- All right. - All right.

- Did you choreograph this? - Yes.

I see, so May J choreographed this one.

You should say something to them before they begin, then.

- She said "Let's do well." - She did?

- Yes. - All right, then.

We'll get started now.

(Team "I Am" starts their evaluation.)

(Goodness.)

- She sounds like she's Korean. - She got so much better.

Good job.

What kind of song is this? Cute, or sexy?

- It's both cute and sexy. - I see.

All right.

I can really tell that Juri practiced a lot.

(Agreeing)

Thank you.

You totally shocked me.

Yes.

I was surprised since your enunciation was so good.

Juri raps first, then Ka Eun.

And when it comes to expression and volume,

it needs to feel like there's been some development,

- Yes. - but you do it the same way.

So it brings you down.

(Lee Ka Eun's rapping is judged to be unsatisfactory.)

You need to show off a bit more since you're the center.

- Yes. - But I barely noticed you.

And Ka Eun, you're the only one...

who gives off a sexy vibe.

(Lee Ka Eun expressed herself in a mature way for the song.)

It'd be better if you could adjust your vibe...

to better fit in with your other group members.

You stand out too much by seeming too mature.

That ruins the balance of the group.

I thought, "What should I do?"

The center is Ka Eun.

(Ka Eun was chosen as the center for the first time in "I Am".)

I was chosen as the center,

but should I bring up the topic of changing the center after a day?

Or is that too irresponsible of me to do?

But I also thought that we should discuss this...

before we lose any more time.

I felt a bit lost as to what I should do.

We'll take a look at Team "Let's Meet Again" now.

(Team "Let's Meet Again" begins their evaluation.)

This team is well-balanced.

- Yes, Hae Yoon is talented too. - Yes. I have high hopes.

Who's the center?

(Who is the center? Miyawaki Sakura versus Wang Yi Ren)

(Reassignment of roles for Team "Let's Meet Again")

I...

wanted to join Team "Let's Meet Again".

Goodness.

- Sakura. - Sakura.

- Is this "Let's Meet Again"? - Yes.

(Miyawaki Sakura is transferred to Team "Let's Meet Again".)

- This is great. This is great. - This is great!

What a relief. What a relief.

I thought that "Let's Meet Again" was a great song,

so I wanted to be transferred to this team.

I'm the leader right now,

but do you want to be the leader?

No thank you.

What about the center, then?

I really hope we get Sakura.

If Sakura says she wants to be the center...

She can't. She really can't.

- Do you want to be the center? - Well...

- Do you want to be the center? - Well...

Do you want to try?

- The center... - Do you want to do it?

(During the center selection for "I Wish",)

(she tried to become a tentative center.)

I knew it. I knew it.

(But her team voted for someone else as the tentative center.)

I'll do my best!

I want to try being the center for "I Wish".

- Do you want to try? - Yes.

Looks like the competition to be the center has gotten fierce, then.

I do want to be the center.

(Miyawaki Sakura was chosen as the first center for "Pick Me".)

I want Cho Yeon to be the center.

(Since then, she hasn't been a center...)

(for the Group Battle Evaluation or the Position Evaluation.)

I want to be the center again.

Then how should we decide?

- The center member's part and... - Oh, singing?

Let's meet again This part, right?

Oh, I need to practice.

You want to practice?

(Anxious)

Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

What should I do, then?

Lee Chae Yeon from WM.

This can't happen.

Goto Moe.

- I'm scared. - Don't cry.

(Wang Yi Ren cried during Second Ranking Announcement.)

Choi Ye Na.

It's impossible to predict...

who will be eliminated. I'll think of this as my last performance...

and won't let anyone take the opportunity away from me.

- Who wants to go first? - My gosh.

- Who will go first? - Yi Ren.

Yi Ren, you go first. You already know the song.

Yi Ren will sing the part.

5, 6, 7, 8.

(Center Candidate Number 1: Wang Yi Ren from Yue Hua)

Let's meet again

- Oh, my goodness. - Sakura.

- Sakura, your turn. - Okay.

5, 6, 7, 8.

(Center Candidate Number 2: Miyawaki Sakura from HKT48)

Let's meet again

Oh, my. Great, awesome job.

Now, you girls have to vote.

(Voting for a new center for "Let's Meet Again" begins.)

Miyu, let's start with you.

- Yi Ren. - Yi Ren?

- Sakura. - Sakura?

All right, the decision has been made.

The score was 2 to 1.

(Who will be the center of Team "Let's Meet Again"?)

Yi Ren will be our center.

(Wang Yi Ren from Yue Hua will be the center for "Let's Meet Again".)

You got the center spot. You're our center.

- I'll do my best. - Go, Yi Ren!

I love it. I'm over the moon.

Wang Yi Ren can't dance that well either.

No, she's a good dancer. No one else deserves the center spot.

Who was in charge of the choreography for this song?

- Chae Da Som. - Yes.

Is there anything you'd like to say?

For this choreography, I wanted to express cherry blossom...

fluttering in the wind. It has to be feminine and delicate.

Please do your best to express that kind of beauty.

Show us the choreography as well as your singing.

(Dance and vocal interim check for "Let's Meet Again")

We'll begin now. Music, please.

You made a mistake. Let's do it again.

Music, please.

(Everyone has to dance in sync to the beat during the opening.)

Let's see.

Her vocals are good.

(The center, Wang Yi Ren, even makes a mistake with the dance.)

Yi Ren, I said earlier that I had high hopes for you.

But I almost saw rain drops instead of fluttering cherry blossom.

(Yi Ren's face remained rather expressionless the whole time.)

If you perform like this on stage, you'll get in huge trouble.

Yi Ren, you also sang every note off key.

You are the center of the team, but you're a terrible singer.

It's so distracting.

Can I say just one thing?

Everyone who's here now should listen up.

Why do you want to be the center, and what do you want to show us?

Who do you think deserves the center spot?

Is a pretty face that suits the song all that matters?

Just because someone stands out doesn't mean she deserves it.

Someone who can captivate us should get the center spot.

Volunteer to be the center only when you can pull off at least one thing.

You should keep what Hong Ki just said in mind,

but don't take it to heart. You don't have time to get emotional.

Please try to focus solely on your practice.

Right now, I'm just worried about losing the center position.

I think I've lost even more confidence.

Everyone else has their own unique charm,

but I have no idea what my charm is.

I'm having a hard time.

(Recording Studio for "Let's Meet Again")

(Composer Lee Dae Hwi came to the recording studio for the song.)

Ta-da!

The song I'm going to give you is...

"Let's Meet Again".

This means he'll be producing the song himself.

That's amazing.

I'm nervous.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello, hello.

This is amazing.

- Are you girls my team? - Yes.

Let's applaud.

You were the center for "Pick Me", right?

- Yes. - I was the center of my team too.

(2 center members meet.)

It's nice to meet you.

- He's cute. - And she's our center.

- Really? You're the team's center. - Yes.

- How did you pick the center? - We voted.

Then how about you take turns and record?

I'd like all of you to sing the first verse.

- Sure. - The entire first verse?

I think you should all try recording the center's parts as well.

- Okay. Everything, right? - My gosh.

(The composer's check begins.)

(Main Vocalist: Park Hae Yoon from FNC)

(Sub-vocalist 1: Takeuchi Miyu from AKB48)

(Sub-vocalist 3: Kang Hye Won from 8D Creative)

(Sub-vocalist 2: Wang Yi Ren from Yue Hua)

- Yi Ren, you're the center, right? - Yes.

Then I should pay special attention to you.

I think you sing your part very well.

Thank you.

(Sub-vocalist 4: Miyawaki Sakura from HKT48)

The center part.

That was great. You can come out.

I was paying special attention to the center part...

because it's such an essential part of the song.

As a composer,

I think the center should be...

In my opinion,

Yi Ren...

sounds much better in terms of her diction and vocal abilities...

when it's a recording. Her voice is captivating and comforting.

But on stage, I think Sakura...

will do a better job of conveying the overall vibe of the song.

- Okay. - Okay.

(Who will be the center of Team "Let's Meet Again"?)

I have to fill this out again. I didn't think I'd come this far.

We've already come this far.

- I'm grateful I'm still here. - I know, right?

(Team "Rumor" meets to reassign positions.)

At the moment, we have...

two tentative main vocalists, Eun Bi and Cho Won.

The rapper one position is vacant.

You want to be our main vocalist, right?

- Of course. - Yes.

This is the situation we've been dreading.

(Main Vocalist Candidates: Han Cho Won and Kwon Eun Bi)

I'd like to say something before you girls decide.

Since I've made it this far, I'd like to surprise everyone.

Because I've mainly flaunted my dancing skills,

people might wonder why I got the main vocalist position.

I've wanted a chance to surprise everyone as well.

"She's also a great singer." I'd really like people to think that.

Eun Bi said that she wants to surprise everyone,

but flaunting her rapping skills would also be a good way to do that.

I did have a chance to flaunt my vocal skills with "Don't Know You".

(During the position evaluation, she got to show off her singing skills.)

That wasn't really my usual singing style,

but "Rumor" is close to the kinds of songs that I normally sing.

- Gosh, hang on a second. - Could we have a discussion?

Yes, of course.

As a vocalist,

- Cho Won is better. - She's better, right?

(During their vocal and rap class prior to the member adjustment,)

(Cho Won flaunted her powerful singing.)

But in the part where powerful singing is required,

the dance component is also important.

To be honest, Eun Bi is not a bad vocalist.

(As a tentative vocalist, Eun Bi flaunted her stable singing.)

(They're torn between the two trainees.)

(Who will be the main vocalist of Team "Rumor"?)

Our main vocalist is...

Kwon Eun Bi.

(Kwon Eun Bi from Woollim is the main vocalist.)

- My gosh. - It's Eun Bi.

In the choreography, there are many parts...

where the main vocalist has to dance in the center.

I think that the main vocalist...

for this specific performance...

has to have outstanding skills in singing and dancing.

Who wants to be sub-vocalist number one?

I've performed in that position before,

so I thought I should claim the position again.

I want the position,

but I get a feeling that I won't get it.

Then how about you try singing just this part?

This part at the beginning.

(Sub-vocalist 1 Candidate 1: Lee Sian from Stone Music)

3, 4.

(Sub-vocalist 1 Candidate 2: Han Cho Won from Cube Entertainment)

To be honest, Cho Won is better than me...

considering singing skills alone.

Our sub-vocalist number one is...

It's Han Cho Won.

We should give Cho Won a vocalist position, not a rapper position.

Everyone knows how great of a singer she is.

I don't feel right about predominantly giving her rap parts.

I was a terrible rapper, you know.

But now, I can rap pretty well.

- That means Sian can do it too. - Sian?

Sian, are you okay?

I was crying inside.

My gosh, I have to rap?

I thought, "What can I show through rapping?"

"Will I be able to contribute to the team's success?"

"I think I'll ruin everything for the team if anything."

I was extremely worried because of such thoughts.

(After the position reassignment meeting, a long silence continues.)

Or...

How about this?

Sian can take the sub-vocalist one position.

Cho Won can be our main vocalist.

I'll take the rap parts.

I could see how much everyone wanted to sing.

I had never seen them so quiet, so I was a little...

Don't worry. I've always wanted to try rapping.

I can surprise the audience through rapping, so I'm fine with it.

Don't lie.

I really want a vocalist position as well,

but I think someone has to give up what they want.

Instead, Cho Won and Sian...

will have to work extra hard to pull off their parts.

This is a team evaluation, so we have to win as a team.

But that means you have to do a really good job, okay?

You must beat other teams' vocalists. You can do it, right?

- I can do it. - Great.

Beat them no matter what. As soon as you start singing,

other vocalists must gasp like this.

All right. Let's see where Team "Rumor" is at.

- For this, the vibe is everything. - Yes, the vibe is very important.

- Yes. - It's all about the vibe.

Cho Won, it says here that you're not the team's main vocalist.

- You're the rapper of the team. - Yes.

(Stay tuned to find out what happened to Team "Rumor".)

All right. Let's see where Team "Rumor" is at.

- For this, the vibe is everything. - Yes, the vibe is very important.

- Yes. - It's all about the vibe.

Cho Won, it says here that you're not the team's main vocalist.

- You're the rapper of the team. - Yes.

(What happened to Team "Rumor"?)

(Recording studio for "Rumor")

- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.

- Hello. - My gosh, hello.

- Hello. - Image-wise, I think your looks...

- suit the song very well. - I agree.

Thank you. My gosh.

We wanted to talk to you guys...

- about your positions. - Okay.

I think the rapper is the most crucial position for this song.

Gosh. This is my first time trying rapping,

but it happens to be the most important position.

I've never seen you rap on the show.

- Right. - If you don't mind,

- We should hear it first. - could both of you show us?

- We'd like to hear it first. - We think that both of you...

will do a great job with the refrain.

But as for the rap, we want to give it to the person who's better.

- Right. - Let's hear it first, then.

- The leader should go first. - Right, the leader first.

- Lead by example. - Sure. I got this!

- Go, Eun Bi! - You got this!

(During the individual practice session for "Rumor")

(Kwon Eun Bi has begun her practice for her rap part.)

Who's giving Eun Bi a hard time?

Rap masters are here.

- Rap masters. - Hello.

- I'll give it a shot. - Okay.

- That was awesome. - Which part is weird?

What sounds awkward? "All the other stories" sounds weird, right?

Yes.

Try doing it like how Yoo Jin raps.

How? Teach me.

(Burn all the other stories)

- You're good. - Really? You think so?

Isn't she good?

(Is this what I'm supposed to do?)

(I don't even know anymore.)

I think you're good. That was good.

- Eun Bi. - Yes.

- Shall we get started? - Okay.

- She should keep the position. - She has to do it.

- Just keep the rapper position. - She must do it.

She found her new talent here.

- That was very good. - I'll give you a few pointers.

- Don't say "Trust me" like that. - Pronounce it like this.

(The composers praised her rapping.)

- I think she can do it. - Yes.

- Can you hear us? - Oh, yes.

Cho Won, the thing is...

Like you said on the show, you look like you'd be a great rapper.

You give off that vibe, you know.

People think the same, so we also have high hopes for you.

I'm majoring in Vocal Performance in the Department of Practical Music,

but everyone tells me that I look like a rapper.

People say I look like I could be as good as Yoon Mi Rae.

Just relax and give it a shot.

You can keep your vocalist position if you can't do it.

Okay.

Being able to rap well is a good thing,

so I told myself not to be intimidated and just do it.

My gosh!

She has a good voice for it.

She's good. What should we do?

She totally surprised us all.

How can she be that good?

- My gosh, she rocks. - She's good at everything.

What should we do?

I was like, "What's going on? What's happening?"

That was my first time trying rapping,

so I was very flustered, but it was nice to be complimented like that.

Here's what we think.

We'd like Cho Won to be the rapper of the team.

First off, you have such a nice voice...

in the mid to low vocal range.

And we also think that Eun Bi's voice...

suits the refrain very well.

(Eun Bi is reassigned to the main vocalist parts.)

Like we told you earlier, you look like a great rapper.

- Yes, this is it. - This is how it should be.

- We knew it from the get-go. - That's right.

I think the universe is telling me to surprise everyone once again.

She has chameleon-like charms.

Cho Won keeps on surprising us nonstop.

(The interim check for "Rumor")

Some things are just meant to happen.

(She was meant to be a rapper.)

- You can even rap? - No, no...

- She always surprises us. - She's full of surprises.

Full of surprises.

That's why your positions changed.

I must say, Cho Won seems much more cheerful and chipper today.

It's great.

Let's hear the song first.

(The interim check begins.)

Oh, my.

She's good.

She's really good.

My gosh.

After you record, you have to show improvement.

I can't relate to any of your performances at all.

Cho Won, your voice is really loud in the beginning.

But some parts can't be heard.

The power in your voice is uneven.

You should look for a point in between those.

Cho Won's vocalization is loud.

It got even louder when she rapped.

Eun Bi's voice is so soft when she sings the chorus.

We even recorded our song just yesterday.

But it was so much worse than yesterday.

Cho Won's part was changed to the rap part yesterday.

It's only been a day for Eun Bi to sing as the main vocalist too.

So there were some awkward parts.

Let's see your dance.

Young Jun choreographed this time.

This is Young Jun's choreography.

I'll trust you.

He'll trust you.

I'll trust you.

(They are checking the choreography for "Rumor".)

This is why choreography is important.

The choreography did it all.

This is because... We felt that...

Your performance is nice and powerful.

But the vocals...

don't suit the song.

It's like a different song. The gap is huge.

Overall,

I think the song and the dance do not go well together.

I feel like everyone is interpreting this song...

differently.

Each of you have different feelings. So it feels different to me too.

You should discuss the story behind this song together.

Okay.

Is she obsessed with the man?

The emotions behind this song should be the same for it to be unified.

That's exactly what they need to hear.

We never interpreted the song...

"Rumor" together before.

We should interpret the song well and express it accordingly.

I don't know this song...

Shall we listen to it?

(Chae Yeon moved from "I Am" to "1000 "1,000 Percent".)

(Min Ju moved from "I Wish" to "1,000 Percent".)

(Moe moved from "Rollin' Rollin'" to "1,000 Percent".)

(Miu moved from "Rumor" to "1,000" Percent".)

(Miho's the only one who has been here from the beginning.)

Shall we pick the center position?

I want to be the center position.

I was able to say that I wanted to be the center...

when I was working on "I Wish".

But after coming here, I was hesitant.

I didn't know if I suit this song.

Who wants to be the center position?

(Well, me.)

(Goto Moe versus Shitao Miu)

- Me too. - Me too.

I always missed out on the position.

(She was recommended as the center position for "Very Very Very".)

(But she yielded to someone else.)

We have to pick the center position.

(She went for the center position for the first time for "Touch".)

I think Miu should do it.

(But Min Ju didn't get it.)

(She was the temporary center position for "I Wish".)

I think the center position...

should be Chae Won.

(But she lost it again.)

It could be the last chance for me.

I wanted to be the center position at least once.

Shall we try singing the center's part?

So I need you

I have some difficulty with songs that are cute.

That's why I watched Moe and Miu's expression.

While seeing them, I thought, "I won't get it this time."

- You were so cute. - It was cute.

Next one is Min Ju.

It's fine.

(Min Ju from Urban Works)

Okay. Okay.

I thought I shouldn't be too disappointed if I don't get picked.

What do you think, Miho?

(Well...)

Based on the facial expressions,

I think the person that goes well with this song is...

(Who will be the center position for "1,000 Percent"?)

I thought Min Ju suited the center position well.

Thank you.

The facial expressions matter a lot at the beginning of this song.

So when I think of that...

Min Ju was the most suitable one for the center position.

Is Min Ju okay for the center position?

- Are you okay? - Yes.

- Are you okay? - Min Ju.

Can I cry?

Do I stick it here?

(She doesn't know where to stick the center sticker.)

I'm the center position.

Since I finally got a chance to be the center,

I'll try to be better than the other teams' centers.

Please forget about Min Ju who wasn't confident.

As the Center "1,000 Percent",

I'll be 2,000 percent refreshing on the stage.

(The trainees are practicing for "1,000 Percent".)

Let's focus on memorizing the lyrics and complete it.

Let's do that.

I want to learn the chorus part today at least.

I want to learn the chorus part at least.

- You mean the dance move? - Yes, little bit at least...

Oh, okay.

- I'll teach you. - Thank you.

I thought everyone was...

upset and intimidated.

But everyone was so bright and willing to do this.

I hope this can become an opportunity,

and the five of us can come together and do well.

It's not over yet.

In fact, we still have a chance to go through...

the concept evaluation.

I know I got moved to this team.

But I think this must be another opportunity for me. I'll work hard.

Let's go.

Next, let's see "1,000 Percent".

Min Ju and Moe are in this team.

Yes.

After the ranking announcement,

everyone else has changed except Miho.

But you all got to record the song in such a short time.

- They were in a rush. - They practiced for two days.

- No. - One day?

- You practiced for one day? - Yes.

This is how we will record.

Each of you will sing the song.

We'll control the tune as you sing.

Feel free as you sing the song.

I was really nervous.

They were the ones who made this song.

I was nervous about singing in front of them.

I'm excited about...

the Center.

I hope they say that I'm suitable for the Center.

- Can you hear me? - Yes.

- Let's start. - Yes.

(Min Ju started to record the song first.)

I wanted to show them that I'm the best Center.

That I'm the purest of them all.

I sang the song confidently.

- I like your tone. - I like it too.

You can sing it louder, but you are holding back.

- I know you are holding back. - Okay.

- Let's do it again. - Okay.

- You can go louder. - Yes.

When you say "Yes", it is really loud.

(The center's voice loud when she says "Okay".)

(Her voice is louder.)

We got it.

We got it.

- I like her tone. - It's pure.

We got it.

I'm the purest center for "1,000 Percent".

(The purest girl)

It was okay, right?

- Miho, let's do this. - Okay.

- Let's go. - Let's go, Miho.

You can do it.

Miho, you are reliable.

Who wants to be the main vocalist?

As I sang "The Truth Untold",

I gained my confidence to sing.

How about you, Chae Yeon?

I'm fine.

In fact, I have a cold.

I need to control my condition.

So I think Miho will do well here.

Are you sure?

- Yes. - Thank you.

I was so happy.

When they voted for the main vocalist last time,

I wasn't selected.

I was happy because I got selected this time.

(The main vocalist, Miho, starts recording the song.)

(Miho starts to record the song.)

She has a good pronunciation.

Thank you.

- She sounds like a Korean. - I agree.

- She's good. - Yes.

(Oh, my goodness.)

- That's it. - Yes, she's really good.

Let's hear it.

It's perfect.

Thank you.

You did really good. Bridge D is...

the most important part.

Sing only that part. You have to sing with your natural voice here.

Okay. I got it.

Sing with your natural voice.

- Don't do it in falsetto. - Okay.

I didn't do well. I'm sorry.

You can sing it with a powerful falsetto.

- Okay. - Let's go.

- Can you concentrate again? - Do it again.

Let's do it again. Let's do a bit more.

Maybe she doesn't understand what natural voice and falsetto is.

She understands what we say.

But I don't think she can express it with her voice.

Because "1,000 Percent" is a new song, I was really nervous.

I was disappointed.

(It's Chae Yeon's turn to record.)

Chae Yeon can sing this pitch. If we're going with the falsetto...

I think that would be better too.

Chae Yeon, you haven't showed your singing skills yet.

- Yes. - Show us this time.

- I have a cold. - Really?

It will sound even better.

Thank you. I was really pressured.

Originally, my position is dancing.

(She was known more as a dancer than a singer.)

- It's worth seeing. - So I wasn't even sure...

if I was a good singer.

- Can you hear me? - Yes.

Let's go with the level check first.

- Rap? - I mean, level...

- Level. - I mean the volume.

She's got a goofy side to her.

When you sing for the high pitched part...

- Yes. - I want to hear it...

without thinking about the part.

(She's singing for the main vocalist's part.)

That is how you do it.

- Let's go. - Okay.

She has enough power.

- Oh, yes. - It's easy for you to sing, right?

- Yes. - Right?

- No, I mean... - Do you want a higher pitch?

- No. - Increase it by two keys.

I'm just kidding. Sing this part first.

She did good. You added some technique at the back. Don't do it.

Think of it as if you are exhaling.

(She's exhaling.)

Yes, that's it.

- Let's do it again. - Okay.

- Oh, gosh. It was good. - Good job.

- She can do it. - You did it.

- You can do it. - She's good.

- Good. She did it well. - I think it's done.

Can you sing the highest key?

- It was perfect. - Yes, that's it.

- Okay. - Do it.

- It's done. - I think we got it.

I felt like I was beaten up.

It was amazing.

You are doing really well.

(She easily sang the high-pitched part.)

You can do vibrato too now.

She's suddenly improving here.

- She's doing vibrato here. - She has never done this before.

I was so energetic because I was complimented.

I was so happy.

- It was amazing. - I feel so shy.

I kept studying Miho's face.

I kept watching her.

(Who will be the main vocalist for "1,000 Percent"?)

(They are checking on the girls' singing on "1,000 Percent".)

The main vocalist should be Chae Yeon.

When you sang the high-pitched part,

it was really well-done.

It's the most important part of this song.

I was really disappointed at myself...

for losing the chance to show my singing skill as a main vocalist.

I was embarrassed too.

I felt so sorry for Miho.

I didn't ask her how she felt.

Did she say that she was disappointed at me?

Why? Is it because you feel sorry?

Gosh, of course.

Let's see your dance.

Okay.

(They are checking on the dance moves for "1,000 Percent".)

They said they practiced this today, right?

- They only had one day to practice. - They are good.

(Oh, gosh.)

They practiced a lot.

- You practiced hard. - They did well.

I don't want to compare, but they only had one day to practice.

They memorized everything well. They're energetic and well-balanced.

I think Min Ju got improved a lot.

You go well with this song.

You suit this song well, I want you to practice harder.

Miho, you did really well.

It sounded like your own song.

And Miu...

Your facial expression was good. It was pretty.

- You are doing well. - Thank you.

And...

Chae Yeon...

you are just so good.

- Thank you. - Chae Yeon's always stable.

I really like Chae Yeon.

She can both sing and dance well.

I think it was good for Chae Yeon to join this team.

You are doing your part as the energetic girl here.

- Chae Yeon. - Yes.

You are really good.

There's one more thing I want from Chae Yeon.

You are really good.

I think I can get dance lessons from you.

But I don't think you have found your own charm yet.

Maybe you are not happy about how you look...

Why didn't you go for the center position, Chae Yeon?

For me, to be in the center...

you have to be confident and pretty.

I'm not confident nor am I pretty.

Maybe you are not happy about how you look.

If you are not sure about yourself, you can never find your own charm.

You should hypnotize yourself. "I'm cool I'm pretty. I'm good."

I hope you find your own charm.

- Thank you. - You are pretty when you smile.

- You are good. - She's really good.

Your facial expressions justified the whole meaning of this song.

- Good job. - Thank you.

I don't know much about dancing, but when I see her dance...

It's really easy to see and fun.

You think you can dance like her, right?

- No, I don't think so. - You don't? Thank goodness.

- You can't dance too. - No, I can't.

You and I should not talk about dancing.

So I didn't say a word.

I was really exhausted these days. They gave me a lot of advice...

as if they knew about it. So I was really empowered.

(Incheon Samsan World Gym)

Let's go.

(National Producers are here to cheer for their girls.)

- Which song do you want to hear? - "Rollin' Rollin'".

- "I Wish". - "I Am".

- "1,000 Percent". - "Rumor".

- "Let's Meet Again". - "Let's Meet Again".

(National Producers are cheering for the trainees.)

"I Wish" my hand reaches out to Nako.

(What are the trainees doing at this hour?)

(They are getting ready before the show.)

(National Producers)

Ta-da.

(They are cheerful.)

(They look pure.)

(They are even sexy.)

(They are done quenching their thirst too.)

(She's pressing it.)

(She has cherry lips.)

(She's putting lip gloss.)

(National Producers, see you later.)

(They are all refreshed before their show.)

(It's refreshing.)

(She's eating.)

(They are ready to meet National Producers.)

(Concept Evaluation)

(Vote for the trainees who go well with their concept.)

(Who will be voted as the best team?)

(Kim Su Yun, Kim So Hee, Sato Minami)

(Chiba Erii)

(Go Yoo Jin, Sohn Eun Chae)

(Miyawaki Sakura)

Vote for your girls.

I'm Lee Seung Gi, representing Produce 48.

Nice to meet you.

The air feels different...

from the two previous evaluations.

Please scream.

(National Producers are screaming.)

You know what the trainees...

will perform today, right?

- Concept Evaluation. - Concept Evaluation.

You are right. Today is Concept Evaluation.

For this Concept Evaluation,

the 30 trainees are divided in a group of 5.

There will be 6 songs and 6 performances.

Before we start, let me tell you...

how to vote on-site again.

After you are done watching all six performances,

you can vote once for the team that went well with their concept.

You can vote again for the best trainee...

from that team.

You can vote for two times in total.

National Producers,

are you ready to meet our trainees?

- Yes! - Yes.

Concept Evaluation will decide who will go on and who will fail.

We'll start the show now.

(Concept Evaluation starts now.)

The performance...

that is very strong and sexy...

is waiting for you.

This song is made by Producing Team 13.

The genre of this song is moombahton and trap. It's "Rumor".

("Rumor" is a moombahton and trap based song by Producing Team 13.)

It's the definition of sexy.
