Original subtitles

This is the 4th team for round 2.

It's ATEEZ.

My gosh. It's ATEEZ.

(Good luck.)

- I can't wait. - I'm so excited.

- ATEEZ. - Good luck.

(It's our turn.)

ATEEZ took first place in the expert and group evaluations...

for round one.

My gosh.

They chose iKON to switch songs with for this round.

There are numerous hit songs by iKON.

They chose a representative song of iKON which incorporates...

the group's unique identity.

A representative song?

A representative song that incorporates iKON's identity?

Will a performance that can surpass the original performance...

be reborn?

- Which song will it be? - I can't wait to find out.

Let's try to guess. It could be "Rhythm Ta", "BLING BLING"...

- I was in love - "Love Scenario".

- All of their songs are famous. - Seriously.

- There are so many choices. - They have so many hit songs.

(Which song by iKON did ATEEZ choose?)

It's an eye! It's an eye!

Which song has a connection to eyes?

- That looks like the sun. - What could it be?

What? Is that our song?

Are they in a car?

(The reborn version of iKON's song by ATEEZ will be revealed soon.)

(January 2021, during ATEEZ's meeting)

iKON.

Great.

They're so cool.

So you like iKON.

I even went to their concert with my mom.

- Their concert. - Really?

Yes. I remember being amazed...

when I watched their performances.

I really want to watch it in person.

I think they'll be so cool.

(During the shoot of the Introduction Stage)

(They've finally met.)

(The ATEEZ members meet their stars.)

If you could sing their song, what would it be?

When I was in school,

I dreamt of being a singer as I watched their performances.

So I even sang their song at the school festival.

There's a video of it.

(His eyes shake.)

(Singing "Rhythm Ta" at the school festival)

(Seong Hwa proves he's a fan of iKON.)

It'll be an honor for me to do a cover of their song.

(As Seong Hwa wished, after round 1...)

(We choose iKON.)

(ATEEZ chose iKON as the team to switch songs with.)

(His dream came true.)

As we turn iKON's character into ours,

we're familiar with their songs,

so we thought it'll be advantageous for us.

Also, most of our members wanted to choose iKON's song.

I think that played a huge role.

You've never contacted a member of iKON?

I think I'll call or text them when the show is over.

I did. When we started shooting Kingdom,

I decided to be close to Jay.

I decided who I want to be adored by...

while being on Kingdom.

It's Jay of iKON.

Do you make up your mind first?

Yes, I do.

When I run into him on music shows, I say, "You're here."

"Are you going?"

"Did you leave?"

- Why do you sound so excited? - That's cute.

- I like him. - That's cute.

(- Hello, I'm Woo Young of ATEEZ! - Glad to meet you. Good job today.)

(- Did you leave after the shoot? - Yes. I saw you on the pre-shoot.)

(- Thanks for reacting so well. - Well, I'm a fan.)

(- Let's do our best and get famous. - Yes, sir.)

Are you thinking of making it a win-win situation with iKON?

- Yes. - Of course.

I think it'll be great...

if iKON and we take 1st and 2nd places.

That's my wish.

I hope we'll take 1st place, and they take 2nd place.

(Will they be in the top two as they wish?)

I thought about it after choosing iKON to switch songs with,

and it was tough trying to turn iKON's song into ours.

The song they made a comeback with is also good.

Should we check out their new songs first?

- As fans. - We should watch all of them.

- 1 of them has 100 million views. - It's a great song.

I always listen to this on my way home.

It's Jay.

(iKON's typical hip-hop song, "Rhythm Ta")

I sang this song for my monthly evaluation as a solo.

- Right. - I remember.

I practiced the basics with this.

- Yeo Sang and I did this too. - Right.

- And "Apology". - "Apology".

(From iKON's official YouTube channel)

I remember copying the choreography while watching the video.

You're right.

(A sentimental melody, "GOODBYE ROAD")

(A true fan is always too absorbed in it.)

Check out the lyrics.

We watched this in the big practice room when we were trainees.

- Right. - I remember.

- It brings back old memories. - It does.

- We're competing with the people... - Right.

- that led us to Kingdom. - That's right.

(When they were trainees,)

(ATEEZ dreamt of being a singer while admiring iKON.)

- BOBBY said he became your fan. - Really?

Thank you.

You guys are number one.

(They've made huge improvements to meet their idol on the stage.)

(The moment ATEEZ's dream came true)

I also wonder which song...

ATEEZ has chosen.

Personally,

I'm very curious to know...

if they applied their pirate theme...

to our song.

I have a feeling they added a twist.

It's a melancholy song with a medium tempo,

and they might have changed it...

to give it a twist at the end.

Whatever it is, I think it'll be fresh and fun.

I'm curious.

We chose "Rhythm Ta" by iKON.

There were so many parts we could change,

and we thought of a theme that suits the arrangement.

San took his monthly evaluation with "Rhythm Ta" once.

Mom, I'm on TV.

I think that was part of the reason we chose it.

People complimented our narrative in round one,

and that's because they could tell we were pirates.

(The pirate theme of ATEEZ began on the Introduction Stage.)

He looked like a pirate captain...

standing on the bow of the ship.

(A performance that portrayed the pirates' voyage and adventure)

The stage must be inside the pirate ship.

They're taking the theme all the way.

When performing "Rhythm Ta", we need an arrangement...

and choreography from which people can tell...

- exactly what we're going for. - Right.

We could direct it that way.

Let's put our heads together and come up with it.

Let's really put our heads together.

Say, "8 makes 1 team."

- In 2, 3. 8 makes 1 king! Let's go! - 8 makes 1 king! Let's go!

(Hong Joong's studio after choosing the song)

In the original song, "What's up? Hurry up and nod your head."

This is the part I liked. It's catchy.

(The lyrics in the intro express the song well.)

I left that part in for the 1st and 2nd verses.

At the start of the second verse,

I changed the song...

to a Latin vibe when I arranged it.

So we'll write the rap lyrics according to the vibe.

I also borrowed a theme from a drama called "Money Heist".

I borrowed some of it.

In the Spanish drama,

they incite other people...

to justify...

- their crimes. - "Open your eyes."

So we want to show a lot of people...

our music and our rhythm.

I can define it in one sentence.

We're telling people who can't get on the rhythm to get to the rhythm.

So we're becoming seven pirates.

It'll be a prequel to "WONDERLAND".

It was a lot of pressure changing the lyrics.

I know it can't be as good as the original song,

but we tried to turn it into ATEEZ's song.

Please look forward to iKON's "Rhythm Ta".

Bye.

(Hong Joong's work video ends.)

Let's do it from the start.

2, and 3, and 4.

Point.

(Full of passion)

(Their steps are as busy as "Rhythm Ta".)

(The main dancer loses his mind.)

Let's try the second part.

- Let me catch my breath. - Okay.

We're not going to jump. We're not using our steps.

Roll your chest, hit it, and bring it back.

- Bring it back. - Yes.

Only put your front foot with your steps.

You said we won't do the steps.

It's what we've always been doing.

So this is the base. The base of the roll.

Yes, the base of the roll.

- Rollin', rollin', rollin' - In 7, 8.

- And then... - I feel like I'm being conned.

We used the original choreography for "WONDERLAND".

But we knew nothing about "Rhythm Ta" this time.

- So... - It was completely new.

we put more care into it.

Where are we?

We're here to practice for Kingdom.

It's important to try the action with your own body.

I know a place that set this up well.

- Which one? - Where is it?

You get to use BB guns for survival.

Yes, I made the reservation.

(Experiencing shooting the gun and being shot)

What are you doing?

Hurry up and nod your head

Roll your chest and waist

(They are rehearsing "Rhythm Ta".)

I'm hit!

Everyone, aim at Yeo Sang.

- Okay. - Get it?

So it's 6 to 1, right?

- Yes. - It's a 6-to-1 match.

Yeo Sang!

(Yeo Sang lost his way.)

(It looks like they've come here to have fun.)

(Yeo Sang expresses what it's like being sniped at with his dance.)

- The title is "Rhythm Ta", right? - Yes.

We need to get to the rhythm.

Then we should really be able to enjoy it on the stage.

I think they will like it if we perform on stage...

like we laughed and had fun today.

Ta-da.

It's our first rehearsal at a studio...

Kingdom prepared for us.

Please look forward to it.

Let's go to the studio.

(Embarrassed)

(The performance starts with San's solo performance.)

(A creative rope performance...)

(that looks like he's floating in the air)

(Exhausted)

- Are you okay, San? - Yes, I'm perfectly fine.

- I climbed the rope. - Oh, right. San...

did many shocking moves.

I tried B-boying for the first time in my life.

We did some B-boy moves.

I think I got to try many new things on Kingdom.

- Do you think you can win? - Win?

If we do what we have to do properly,

if we show what we got, I think it's possible.

There was some pressure,

but I think we could prepare it with energy...

solely because we ranked high.

- Right. We had confidence. - It's just...

We had to prepare the next round.

But we were still happy while working hard for the next round...

as we wanted to achieve another good result in the next round.

I'm the most curious about their reaction.

iKON's reaction.

If we're acknowledged by them,

we're already the average.

As we won first place in the previous round,

we should show a performance that deserves the title.

That's what we kept thinking.

- A performance of the winners? - Yes. To meet their expectations.

Round 2 of Kingdom. This is the 4th group.

Be a legend, ATEEZ.

Let's go!

(Everyone is cheering themselves up together before going up on stage.)

Let's go, Hong Joong!

You got this, ATEEZ!

- I have high expectations. - I'm anticipating it.

(The last warm-up before going up on stage)

- You worked hard. - 2, 3.

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

Jay wished us good luck.

Nice. We received good energy.

Let's show them something cool.

- Let's do it! - Ready!

We will kill it.

We will show that ATEEZ deserves to win...

through today's performance.

We should do well. As we've always done.

I'm curious. I'm curious about it the most.

They are our juniors we like so much.

ATEEZ's performance iKON is the most curious about.

Let's watch right now.

(Satisfied)

It's an eye!

It's an eye!

- What's a song related to eye? - I think it's the sun.

What could it be?

What? Is it our song?

What is it? Are they in a car?

What is that?

Isn't it "Money Heist"?

Oh, it's a car.

Yes.

- It's "Rhythm Ta". - It's "Rhythm Ta".

It's "Rhythm Ta".

("Rhythm Ta" by ATEEZ)

(The anarchic performance shows fighting against society...)

(that suppresses arts and emotions, based on ATEEZ's storyline.)

(They wake up the emotionless audience with their song and dance.)

- San is so cool. - I like it so much.

That's cool.

I like the song.

What's this?

- Gosh. - My gosh.

- Is he opening a safe? - So he's a bank robber.

The idea is so creative.

The production is amazing.

They're so cool.

They made it their own song.

It's mesmerizing.

- What is that? - What is that?

It's "Money Heist". They did that in it.

- Really? - That's "Money Heist".

A blimp is coming.

Jong Ho, man.

What should we do?

They're good. They're really good.

- They're so good. - The energy is amazing.

What? It's not over?

- What? - What is it?

An hourglass.

It's what we saw in round one.

- He even broke it with bare hands. - For real?

Hey, I think you should take off your gloves.

- Break it again. - No, it will hurt my hands.

There's a story.

They turned the hourglass before.

(The hourglass that appeared in the intro of "WONDERLAND")

Is that what happened before then?

(A prequel?)

Anyway, it was cool.

- "Rhythm Ta". - It was great.

As expected of the group that won the previous round.

I think they prepared it under pressure because of that.

- Their energy was incredible. - ATEEZ.

"Okay, I will move to the rhythm." It feels like this.

"I'll move to the rhythm. Sorry!" It makes you feel the rhythm.

Using a car was a great idea.

The car and when they put on the mask while saying...

"This is just a song, so bounce to the rhythm."

It was as if they were telling us to be quiet.

That seemed like the nuance they were giving. It was cool.

Why are they so cool?

One thing is for sure. Their concept of robbing a safe was very clear.

I expected them to do "Rhythm Ta",

but actually hearing them do the song was different.

- This wasn't "Rhythm Ta". - It wasn't.

They're really good.

It was ATEEZ's song.

It didn't remind me of our song.

iKON took ATEEZ's song...

and changed it to make it sound more like iKON, like the chorus.

ATEEZ also took iKON's song,

but they didn't just do a cover of it.

They changed it to fit their color and performed it.

I thought it was very ATEEZ-like.

It was definitely different.

Their overwhelming performance...

which forced us to bounce to the rhythm left a huge impression on me.

Musically, they made it into...

their own style.

I think the way they create the stage is extraordinary.

Each point of ATEEZ's performance...

leaves a strong impression.

When the flyers fell down,

when they incorporated a rope into their choreography,

or when they started the song inside the car.

These points are very memorable,

so I had fun watching them, thought it was interesting,

and I learned a lot from watching them.

There was so much to see.

There was a blimp that came out too.

Plus, the dancers danced with them when the BPM was fast.

It was very new.

Good job, everyone.

- Good job. - Good job.

Good job.

I wanted them to be pleased.

A young boy who dreamed of becoming a singer while watching them...

grew up to show them a performance of their song.

I was able to show them that, so I was happy while performing.

I was serious,

but I also came to think, "Gosh, I'm really happy right now."

That's what I thought.

- I gave it my all. - Good job, guys.

As the rounds progress...

- I feel like every round... - I feel it too.

- I'm giving it my all. - Right.

Let's give ourselves a round of applause for doing a great job.

- Applause! - Good job and great work.

Good job.

Let's relax and enjoy the rest of the performances.

- Okay. - Sounds good.

Next is the 5th team for round 2.

(Which team will be the fifth team to perform?)

It is BTOB.

(The 5th performance of round 2, "Re-born", is BTOB.)

(Curious)

- I'm so curious. - I'm curious.

I think I'm most curious about their performance.

I wonder what song they'll do.

They had to switch songs with Stray Kids,

who has a completely different style.

(Stray Kids came in 2nd place...)

(in the expert and group evaluation during round 1.)

(Which team did Stray Kids choose?)

(BTOB)

(Surprised)

No!

Why did Stray Kids choose us?

Because we look easy?

Do we look easy to you?

- No, that's not true. - We're Melody.

(We're self-proclaimed STAY too.)

I think it will be fun.

We can transform it into BTOB's color.

Let's talk about round two.

I listened to all their songs.

They have good songs.

They also write their own music and lyrics.

They're called 3RACHA.

They write their own music which is why their songs fit them so well.

They're really good.

Have you narrowed down the list?

Hey.

(Director Seo, go on.)

You're a director, so I'm sure you've written on it a lot.

(Feeling pressured)

Gosh, you have terrible penmanship.

"Kingdung"?

(Warning: This isn't Kingdung.)

What?

I'm writing in cursive.

(He's so skilled that can write Korean in cursive too.)

(He's never seen Korean cursive before.)

Let's make a list of the songs we listened to.

- "TOP". - I liked it too.

The memorable ones were "Back Door",

"Hellevator", and "My Pace".

- Is it "My Face" or "My Pace"? - Pace.

Pace.

- My tempo? - My pace.

(The member from Chicago sees something.)

Why did you write "Hellevator" in Korean?

The title is in English.

(What's the problem?)

- The title is in English. - Pardon?

Wasn't it in Korean?

"Slump".

(He suddenly stops.)

(Is this Korean or English?)

- He wrote S. Then "lump" in Korean. - What is that?

- S-lump. - It's a combined word.

(To Stray Kids, please come up with Korean titles for your songs.)

Out of these songs, let's choose our 1st and 2nd favorites.

(The Stray Kids songs they chose initially.)

To be honest,

I think it's important for people to say, "Gosh, BTOB does this too?"

But I think it's better for them to say, "BTOB is indeed BTOB."

I think it's best for us to hear...

that in the end.

Even if it's something new,

I think it would be best if we put on a performance...

that fits BTOB the best.

(Leader Seo's opinion equals the members' opinions.)

My top two were these songs.

I liked "Back Door" and "My Pace".

"My Pace".

I agree with you. "Back Door" and "TOP".

"Back Door" and "TOP".

I liked "TOP" and "Back Door".

These two got the most votes.

- Should I play them one by one? - "TOP".

When it starts, it goes like this.

(Vocalizing)

It's my first time hearing that.

(The intro that increases Chang Sub's magic)

(Do you have a perfect pitch?)

That part is really cool.

(3RACHA participated in the lyrics, song, and arrangement of "TOP",)

(and it has a charming and powerful group dance.)

(Oh, my.)

They're good.

This is fierce.

Let's watch "Back Door".

That's Yong Bok.

(With 100 million views, "Back Door" has a unique and powerful beat.)

It's strong.

(His excitement goes up.)

(They're so cool.)

Regardless of which song we choose,

- The original songs are powerful. - It's very fierce.

I saw many of their performances, and they're all powerful.

Gosh, I don't know which to choose. Both of them are different.

As for "Back Door",

I can visualize how we can perform it...

to fit our color.

The arrangement will be really important.

If we want to do "Back Door",

we have to pull it apart and recreate it...

in order to make it into BTOB's "Back Door".

Like a new song?

I think that we can change it to fit our style,

but be completely different at the same time.

- "Back Door"? - Okay. Let's do "Back Door".

Okay. BTOB has chosen "Back Door".

(BTOB's round 2 song is "Back Door".)

How will BTOB perform this song?

I think this song can bring about such curiosities.

It's very different from anything we've done before,

so I think it will become a new "Back Door"...

to the public and the viewers.

I think that's why we chose it.

(BTOB has gathered for the concept meeting for round 2.)

Peniel, you're friends with that guy, right?

- Who? - Bang Chan.

Can you call him?

- Let's call to see what he's doing. - If you call him...

Gosh, I feel so burdened.

I'm getting a phone call.

Peniel is calling me.

Really?

Hello?

I'm Chang Sub.

(In a low voice)

(Make some noise for our seniors!)

What's this?

Gosh, he's completely different from when I call.

(Hello.)

(Laughing)

- All he did was say hi. - Guys...

Guys, were you watching our videos?

- Yes. - Yes.

What song are you doing?

Us?

We're doing "Beep Beep".

I don't think so. Are you doing "2nd Confession"?

What song did you guys choose?

- We can't tell you that. - It's a secret.

(Kingdom is like a survival show, but it's not a survival show.)

- Cha, cha, cha. - 3RACHA.

3RACHA, what do you guys think we'll do?

I think it will be "I am YOU" or "Hellevator".

(I know that song! He responds immediately to "Hellevator".)

(Laughing)

- Pardon? - I'm excited about this.

Do you have some possible songs?

We have three.

The first song is "MOVIE".

- I see. - There's also "I'll Be Your Man"...

- Yes. - and "WOW".

But all three songs have completely different colors.

- That's right. - That's right.

We're contemplating between those three.

Which songs are you likely to choose?

(He hangs up.)

(What?)

Like this? Oh, my.

This means war.

We got information from them.

- We... - We got information from them.

Hello?

Gosh, we got disconnected.

I'm sorry. We were in the elevator.

We were on the "Hellevator".

(Peniel is so funny.)

He said they were on the "Hellevator".

Which song do you think would suit us?

Personally, I think "Back Door" would suit you.

I think if you added a jazz vibe to it and made it more mature,

it would suit you guys really well.

- Like a formal party. - Right.

(Exclaiming)

(That's a good idea.)

Thank you so much for being on the phone with us.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

We'll answer one last question before we hang up.

- One last question? - I'm serious.

Who's your favorite member of Stray Kids?

He asked who your favorite member of Stray Kids is.

Who's our favorite member of Stray Kids?

(Expectant)

(Is it me?)

(Very interesting)

(Who is BTOB's favorite member of Stray Kids?)

Who's our favorite member of Stray Kids?

(Dejected)

(Exclaiming)

Seriously. I thought they would choose me.

I was nervous for no reason.

My goodness.

I thought they would choose me.

Do you see me sweating right now?

- How frustrating. - I won't be able to sleep tonight.

We can't choose a single person.

Our favorite member of Stray Kids is Stray Kids.

We couldn't choose one person.

We like all of them.

- in "Queendom", MAMAMOO... - Yes.

did this performance.

- “Good Luck”! - That's right.

(I know too)

(Various musical genres and concepts)

(Each member’s charms stood out.)

(MAMAMOO’s colorful “Good Luck” performance)

This stage had different colors for each character.

So I think that’s a good idea...

in the sense that...

we can express the colors of four individuals differently...

and create a colorful performance.

Any other ideas?

There is something I really want to try.

(What is it?)

If you listen to the song, there are...

- no explosive vocal ad-libs, right? - That's true.

But that’s like our team’s identity.

So I want you two to come up with the ad-libs...

and really sing them out there.

We’re coming up with such great ideas!

We’re going to need this when we’re performing, right?

Well, that’s “Back Door”...

This song’s identity.

So we must include it.

- The point in the music... - "Knock, knock, knock."

- "Squeak". - I really loved it.

It has this distinctive point.

So I think we can stress this part and direct an awesome performance.

I believe we’ll create a performance...

where each member can show off his charms.

(BTOB members’ practice Vlog)

This is our company’s practice room.

I booked a room today...

because I need to practice for Kingdom.

But why is my photo hung here?

Anyhow. Stray Kids!

Your song is too high.

Take it easy.

(You are now watching Chang Sub’s vocal warm-ups.)

(Take it easy with your warm-ups.)

This is the introduction part.

(Chaung Sub will start the song once again.)

(Practicing the song)

This song is too high!

I need to do a good job.

(Working hard on the high notes to create a flawless performance)

(There is no time to worry!)

How is our members’ practice going?

I’m sure they’re doing just fine. It's just me who needs to do well.

(Min Hyuk is watching “Back Door” performance.)

(Admiring)

(Admiring again)

(Admiring once again)

I need to think about our choreography,

but I can’t take my eyes off.

(Knocking on Min Hyuk’s heart)

This is the key point. "Knock, knock, knock, knock".

(“Back Door” key point, knocking choreography)

We’re going to have to keep this.

Left foot, right foot. Left, right, left.

Okay. "Authorized personnel only."

(What?)

(What?)

Already? I already forgot about it?

Maybe try a different feeling?

(Knocking choreography, version 1)

Turn back?

(Knocking choreography, version 2)

(Knocking choreography, version 3)

Just need to highlight this point.

(While he is working on the dance, what are the others doing?)

Back door!

We chose “Back Door”.

When I looked at Stray Kids’ lyrics,

it felt like they were only allowing their friends to come in.

But Min Hyuk and I...

decided to write lyrics like we’re talking to the ladies.

Kingdom...

How is it rated? Is it for 15 and above?

It’s a fisheye lens, so you can’t really see it.

Is it too provocative?

This is fine, right?

You know? You know what I’m saying?

(Peniel starts practicing in earnest.)

Other members are also practicing in practice rooms.

I'm sure they are doing well.

What we thought about in terms of directing...

is adding the sound of knocking and door opening.

- Okay. - Yes.

- I already downloaded some sources. - Oh! Thank you.

This kind of sounds like a toilet.

Yeah, it has an echo.

How about this?

(Endless repeat of knocking)

(In search of our knocking sound...)

How many knocking sounds are there? There are so many kinds of doors.

That’s right.

- Oh! - Oh!

This sound has quite an impact.

Can we hear it again?

It's nice.

(This is it!)

It’s so good.

Wouldn't it differentiate us...

if we go with this sort of vibe?

The genre changes...

I think this powerful vibe isn’t all that bad.

(Showing a glimpse of BTOB's version of “Back Door”)

Doesn't this sound like our Melody’s cheering?

(You watching, Melody?)

Make some noise!

Just like this...

We'll work hard...

to make it different from Stray Kids' “Back Door”,

so please look forward to it and cheer us on.

Can you do a cheer with me?

- BTOB Kingdom, let’s go! - Let's go!

Thank you.

Let’s keep on working.

Thank you.

Can't we call it a day?

We need to stay up all night.

I have a family.

(Their passionate effort continued on...)

(A few days later)

(They are recording the rearranged version of “Back Door”.)

(What’s BTOB's version of "Back Door" going to be like?)

There's not much time left until the competition,

so we didn’t waste one second and worked hard...

so that “Back Door” could be reborn.

Stand by!

Eun Kwang, start!

You walk up the stairs.

(Checking the choreography and movements)

The overall concept of the stage we’re working on...

is the actual scene of the concert.

We'll animatedly show you how we get ready...

from the waiting room,

We’re preparing so you could see...

how we get on stage like you are there with us.

The biggest part of our “Back Door” is each member’s colors.

I think each member's individuality is well expressed.

In a way, isn’t this like an assorted gift set?

Things keep coming out.

It’s an assorted gift set.

BTOB is going from the group...

that we trust and listen to, to the group...

that we trust, listen to, and watch.

Okay!

What will they show today?

Round 2 of Kingdom. This is the 5th group.

Be a legend, BTOB.

BTOB.

What are they going to do?

I think BTOB will be amazing no matter what they do.

- Right. - Stary Kids’ song...

I just can’t wait.

Wouldn’t there be some kind of change?

BTOB is the best.

I’m excited.

(Already too into it.)

BTOB!

- Seal claps. - Break a leg!

How did they design the stage?

I’m curious how they'll pull it off.

We’re really fancy in terms of our performances,

and BTOB is really colorful in terms of their vocals.

But it’s like we’ve switched sides.

So I can’t wait to see what they’ve done.

I think this is the first time BTOB has covered our song.

It is. It’s such an honor.

So it’s making me more excited,

and I’m looking forward to it.

Kingdom, BTOB, let’s go!

- Let’s go! - Let’s go!

I think both us and the viewers...

can enjoy the round two performance...

more than the round one performance,

so please enjoy it.

“I didn’t know BTOB had such sides to them.”

We will try our best to crush the stage...

so that you can enjoy the fresh “Back Door” performance.

- Oh, they’re starting! - They're starting!

"Stage one"?

- "Stage one"? - What is that?

Oh, it’s really like backstage...

What is that?

Gosh!

Okay.

Oh, like a concert...

“Back Door”!

It’s “Back Door”!

- “Back Door”! - It’s “Back Door”!

(“Back Door” by BTOB)

(Stray Kids' "Back Door" has been customized with different vibes...)

(so that BTOB’s unique live performance can stand out.)

(It starts with rock riffs and goes through trap and funk genres.)

(In the end, it shows a dramatic finish with wild Big Room Drop.)

So it’s a waiting room?

It totally has a rock vibe!

This is unbelievable.

Gosh. Look at his body.

That's so cool.

Gosh. This is crazy.

- They are going to the main stage. - The main stage.

- Let's go. - Hey, this is our song!

Rip it now. Hurry.

Let's rip it together.

This is it.

- My gosh. - I'm so moved.

(We want backstage passes!)

- I'm elated. - I just screamed.

- I'm so satisfied with this. - They did a phenomenal job.

This just made me so happy.

That was cool.

- It was such a fun idea. - It was fun.

- Gosh. - That was "Back Door"?

- Let's give it up for them. - Seriously. They deserve it.

They knocked my socks off.

The lyrics go,

"Authorized personnel only. This is the back door."

- Right. - And it made me feel like I was.

- They showed us backstage. - That's right.

I think I'll keep watching this clip.

BTOB killed it like they always do.

- That was a great idea. - Yes.

That was so cool. I feel like I just watched their concert.

They do have their own unique style.

- Right. - When I watch them,

it makes me wonder how they'll pull it off.

- They always make it their own. - Right.

- They pulled it off flawlessly. - Right.

Their performance...

reminded me of "The Ellen Show"...

or big concerts from the States.

The idea of using the backstage to perform...

(From the backstage to the stage, it was a single-take performance.)

They worked with the extras around them.

He stole one of their caps.

I found their acting very interesting.

BTOB never disappoints us.

- BNDU. - BNDU.

After watching it, I could tell...

that they wanted to perform in front of an audience.

They showcased their desire through their performance.

So that part was touching.

I had a lot to learn from this performance.

BTOB forever.

BTOB forever.

They arranged the song to improve our song.

And they sang the song...

- Right. - with their own voices.

Wasn't that the perfect reinterpretation of our song?

- Totally. - I was really moved.

Toward the end,

I missed performing in front of the audience.

And I choked up watching them perform.

It was definitely an emotional performance...

It was... You know what I mean, right?

- Yes. - You all know what I mean, right?

- It struck a chord, you know? Okay? - Right.

It was such an emotional ride.

Seriously. It was such a lovely performance.

- Gosh. - Seriously.

(BTOB showed an unexpected charm through a manly performance.)

(A musical was put together with their passion and energy.)

- Good job. - Well done.

Thank you. Good job.

(They've been performing together for 10 years.)

(They didn't have to speak to understand each other.)

Good job.

- Good job. - Good work.

At first, this kind of project was so painful...

and challenging.

But after round two, this is so much fun.

To be honest,

we wouldn't have a chance to perform like if not here.

It's like we created something completely new.

And the fact that we all came together to create it...

makes this whole project meaningful and makes us proud.

Personally, today's performance was...

the most memorable and impressive now that we're done.

Round two, "Re-born".

Now, only the last team remains to perform.

Gosh, this much pressure?

BTOB's strength is their singing.

I wonder how they reinterpreted BTOB's songs.

- I anticipated this the most. - It's our song.

The members of 3RACHA participated in the song arrangement.

(They personally arranged the song?)

- They write their own songs too. - Really?

They did that for the previous round?

They did that starting with the Introduction Stage.

The members of 3RACHA wrote all the title tracks too.

- It must be tough physically too. - Right.

I wonder how they arranged the song.

(April 1, the day of the press release of the show)

(These 6 teams are gathered together for the 1st episode of the show.)

Come on in.

We're here for an audition.

For what?

We're here for an audition.

- For an audition? - Yes.

- It's the director. Hello. - Gosh. Sorry.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Gosh. - We're here to audition.

- Nice to meet you. Hello. - Hello.

These are the best aspiring K-Pop singers.

Hello.

Did you have a hard time picking the song?

There were too many hit songs.

Which one did you choose?

- "MOVIE". - "MOVIE"? I see.

We are practicing our best to prepare for "MOVIE".

(Sorry.)

Don't laugh.

You shouldn't laugh.

Since they have way too many awesome songs...

They have a lot of great songs.

Isn't "MOVIE" nice?

(Suddenly brightening up)

(The concept is a romance movie with a funky rhythm.)

This part is really funny.

(Chang Sub's part is the highlight of the song.)

(The member with the best showmanship)

(They watch BTOB, listen to BTOB, and learn from BTOB.)

- Gosh. That's so good. - I love you!

We need to enjoy performing like he does.

I'm suddenly reminded of "I'll Be Your Man".

Right. There's "I'll Be Your Man".

(The mix of wild masculinity and sexy charms)

(Watching BTOB's concert in a group)

They are so cool.

If we were to perform "I'll Be Your Man",

we might be able to show people something new.

We never just focused on singing when we performed.

With this song, we can show powerful rapping as well.

And singing will definitely stand out too.

We can convey desperation through the song.

- I wanted to try that on stage. - Gosh. Great.

It seems like our colors and our goals are...

pointing us toward "I'll Be Your Man".

So I agree that we should pick that song.

- I like it too. - Me too.

We chose "I'll Be Your Man"...

because we thought that with this song,

we could show something different...

than the audience is used to seeing from us.

That's why we chose this song.

How did you arrange the song?

Pardon?

(Avoiding eye contact)

- We mixed a bit of rock into it. - Rock?

Was it heavy metal rock?

- I'll be your man! - I'm not sure.

(Laughing)

(The song arrangement is complete.)

That would be so cool.

Baby, I pray!

(Please make that an honorary melody for Han.)

Great. That's great.

But we really like...

EDM.

(Oh, EDM?)

(Kind seniors that play along with him)

(Jump!)

I'm excited.

Can you give us a hint on the arrangement?

Just a little hint.

Then...

I'll tell you the specific minute and second we want to hear.

But you should also tell us the timestamp.

My goodness. Wait. Why am I so excited?

If we hear the intro, there could be a twist,

and it could become another song in the middle...

Composers are indeed different.

Then should we listen to the 1 minute 5 second mark?

I think you made a mistake.

Let's play from the 1 minute 5 second mark.

(Concentrating)

I'm going crazy.

- I'm so excited. - Seriously.

Let's play.

(Back Door)

(Unbelievable)

(Shouting)

(You heard it, right?)

It was Chang Sub just now.

(Impressed)

Wasn't it Min Hyuk at the drop?

(Correct)

Okay, now we should hear it as well.

Let's hear the exact middle.

One minute...

(He pauses to make it more suspenseful.)

20 second mark?

(The dark sorcerer that controls Stray Kids)

3 minute 10 second mark!

- 10 second mark. - I know where it is.

Let's play.

(They're playing "I'll Be Your Man" by Stray Kids...)

(from 3 minute 10 second mark.)

(It's unbelievable how he took the phone from them.)

No!

(BTOB is quite funny.)

(No, it's not funny.)

(Shivering)

I got a feel.

You did?

I'm looking forward to it so much.

The groups that produce their own songs have their own color.

So I was very excited to see...

how Stray Kids do "I'll Be Your Man" in their own style.

We participated in the songwriting process even before the debut.

On Kingdom, from Introduction Stage to round two,

we've been participating in the production.

How many songs has 3RACHA written so far?

It's about 80 songs if we count the official releases only.

We produced all the songs in our discography.

So there are many songs.

If we include unreleased songs too, there's a lot.

We're doing a cover in round two.

So the arrangement is even more important.

Because we're covering a song that is very famous.

"I'll Be Your Man" is a famous song.

It's a song that is widely known.

That's why I wanted to show...

Stray Kid's color and music style...

through "I'll Be Your Man".

The original song feels like the speaker is talking...

- to his lover. - To his lover.

But we could make it sound like he's talking to a precious person.

For example, it could be his family,

or a friend.

I think that's a good idea.

(3RACHA changes the song that was about love...)

(to a song that is about a precious person.)

- Yes. - Hi.

We're going to make...

- Something important. - something important.

Something.

The craftsman among us is...

Yes, just trust me.

- It's better not to trust this guy. - This is bad.

Why not?

- I saw your drawing. - The Crumpled.

It's not The Crumpled. It's The Wrinkled.

Drawing and handicrafts are different.

I'm quite good at handicraft.

I'll look forward to it.

(Laughing)

(It was filmed in accordance with the COVID-19 prevention guidelines.)

(Where did the members with great confidence arrive?)

- Hello. - Hello.

(A ring workshop where you can record memories...)

(to make a one-and-only ring in the world.)

The story of this performance...

is about protecting someone you cherish.

Who do we cherish?

The ones we really cherish are STAY...

and the members right next to us.

We thought it would be more meaningful...

if we make rings to wear on stage ourselves.

So this is the ring.

So this is where you stamp it.

Let's put "STAY" here.

And the Stray Kids logo here on the left.

Okay.

Do you want me to hold it for you?

Hold this for me.

What if you hit my hand?

It's okay.

- "T". - Do you want me to stamp it here?

(Rubbing)

(Pulling)

(Seungmin's wish is to come back home safely.)

From "S"?

- Yes. Let's do it. - I'm scared. I've never done this.

(Hitting)

- It's done. - It's done?

- Ta-da. - It's done well.

(The initials "STAY" are stamped with Stray Kids' delicate hands.)

It's nice.

It's very special to have someone's name...

on the accessory you always wear.

As much as 3RACHA is working hard on the song,

we made rings thinking about the people we cherish.

Thinking about wearing this on stage, it feels like a lucky charm.

It gives me confidence.

It's like a gauntlet.

You're right. First place.

(If we're not first place, I'm going to get rid of you all.)

Is it a time to propose in front of people?

- Can I open it? - 1, 2...

3RACHA.

(Impressed 914 percent)

You made it so well.

The ring is cute.

- Oh, "Chris"! - Yes, Chris.

And a heart.

It reads "Han" inside.

There's a name written inside.

There's no name here.

There is.

What does it mean? What alphabets are these?

What do you think "MYH" means?

"MYH"?

- Mooyaho. - Mooyaho.

(Shouting "Mooyaho" at the center of the world)

(A group of people who are sincere about teasing Changbin)

- Mooyaho. - Seriously.

Let's write "MYH" on one ring for real.

- Mooyaho? - Mooyaho?

For Changbin.

(That one ring is for Changbin.)

Hey, it's not my signature at all!

You can't say it's mine.

I was going to write "DK", because you're Pig-Rabbit.

But that is also the initial for "Donkey Kong."

(Laughing)

What's with "mooyaho"?

Because you're precious to me, I wrote "mooyaho".

Okay, thanks.

I wanted to shout "mooyaho" looking at the ring...

at the top of the mountain.

My precious, mooyaho.

Thanks a bunch, Seungmin.

I do want to show this on stage.

Thinking about precious people.

- That's nice. - That's nice.

Receiving energy from this, let's do well in round two as well.

1, 2, 3.

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

Accessories we made ourselves are more meaningful.

It feels like I got something to lean on?

I think the ring is one of the highlights of the performance.

(The day of recording their own version of "I'll Be Your Man")

- Okay, Seungmin. - Yes.

The "like that" is extremely high.

(The part Seungmin is going to try is this.)

It would be fine if you can sing the notes correctly.

(He's warming up his voice before doing a difficult task.)

- It's C-sharp, right? - It's high. Really high.

- It's really high. - Let's lower the key.

- What? Now? - Lower the key.

"I'll Be Your Man" is a vocally challenging song.

Even Chang Sub and I struggled.

(It's not an easy song for BTOB as well due to its range.)

It's so hard.

Are they singing in the original key?

Then they're incredible people.

Since we picked "I'll Be Your Man",

if we can show our vocals...

It's a perfect song to show that.

How about singing in the original key...

- from the beginning? - I think it'd be nice.

It does feel like it could show our new side.

(Rapper Han is on vocal mode.)

(His vocals make them speechless.)

Please

I lost it at "please".

It's freaking high at the end. It's really high.

Save me.

It was hard. It's the toughest song I've tried in my life.

BTOB is known...

as a group with amazing vocalists.

As we're doing a cover of their song,

we were very worried...

that we might not do the original song justice.

- I can do it. - Okay.

(The recording starts.)

I won't let you go again never again

Let's pray. Let's pray together.

We should pray.

(Putting their hands together)

(With the members' desperation, what would the result be like?)

(He cleared the mission without a mistake.)

I think we got it.

(Seungmin is proud.)

Nice. It's really nice.

- That was nice. - Okay. Seungmin is done.

(Next up is the youngest member, I.N.)

You should pronounce the words clearly to deliver the emotion.

The first "plea"...

- is really important. - Okay.

- It's coming from the front. - Okay.

- You should open your mouth more. - Okay.

(Like this.)

(Like this.)

That's what I'm talking about.

- Please give me one more chance - No, no.

"Chance". Let's do it again.

(He's struggling as it requires a different vocal style.)

No, no.

(Oh, no.)

You can do it. Mix the emotion with more air...

- when you sing it. - Okay.

I'll do it again.

It might be because you're too worried about that.

It could be better if you just do it freely.

As long as we can feel the emotion, it's good.

(Like this.)

(Please)

- That's it. - That's what we're talking about!

That's the "please" we want!

- You can do it. - I can do it.

A new side of us?

I want to imprint Stray Kids on their minds.

I should be on alert and put extra effort into it.

I think round two...

- is another big challenge for us. - Right.

I think it's natural that we get nervous.

The vocalists...

must be under a lot of pressure.

But I think you can do it well.

(Frowning as he feels a lot of pressure)

It's a big burden.

Your eyebrows look so sad.

No, I'm not sad.

It looks like a tent.

Let's just do what Stay Kids does and perform without regrets.

Let's make a great performance.

One take.

- We can do it! - We can do it!

(Stray Kids is rehearsing with a huge task at hand...)

(as the song is in a high range.)

(They are focusing their attention on the vocals as they monitor.)

We have to sing well.

The vocal members should try a bit harder.

The mistakes stand out too much.

(Since he's singing in a key that's higher than his usual range,)

(I.N keeps reviewing his part.)

I can't do it alone

I.N, when you sing "can't",

if you don't think you can belt it out, sing it in falsetto.

(To reduce his burden, the members give him advice.)

I was really nervous that I would make a mistake.

While we were preparing for this song, the vocal members...

and the rest of the team worked really hard.

Since we worked hard,

I hope the results won't be futile.

Why do you think we all wore rings on this finger?

It's to win first place.

(We won't miss out on 1st place ever again.)

That's right.

(Will Stray Kids' wish come true?)

Round two of Kingdom. This is the final group.

Be a legend, Stray Kids.

You can do it!

You can do it!

- Stray Kids! - You can do it!

I would like everyone to focus on our desperate and forlorn singing,

our acting, and our expressions...

in this performance.

Yes! Let's go!

This is the last performance. Be strong!

What's this?

- I saw a tree. - I saw a tree.

What song will they sing?

I'm going to focus on them. I'm so nervous. Why am I nervous?

("I'll Be Your Man", Stray Kids Version by Stray Kids)

(A performance to express their dire prayer to protect a loved one.)

(They recreated "I'll Be Your Man" with the narration that...)

(they'd sacrifice their lives via a sad and beautiful performance.)

- What's this? - Why is he so good?

This song is really difficult.

Isn't he a rapper?

Han is good at everything.

He's a vocalist. He's not a rapper. Oh, my!

Chang Bin has a great tone.

He's my friend.

He's really good.

The kid disappeared.

- Where did he go? - What's that? Where is he?

He disappeared.

Where did he go?

Han is an all-rounder.

- Does this make sense? - Why is he so good?

What is this?

That's incredibly cool.

Felix!

Is he the devil?

- Oh, my. - This is insane.

- Everything is falling apart. - Oh, my gosh.

- What is this? - Everything is falling apart.

Is that a heart?

I have chills.

Chang Bin is so cool.

Gosh, I got chills.

It feels like it has a very deep meaning to it.

- The kid that is like an angel... - The kid.

- came and hugged him. - He hugged him.

It leaves a lingering feeling.

I want to see the interpretation of this performance.

The story is really good.

In order to save that child, they sold their soul...

- To the devil? - to the devil.

- Black and white part was the past. - It was the past?

I think Stray Kids worked hard to show a different side...

of themselves in this performance.

When the two of them did the duet.

I was so surprised because they sang it so well.

Seungmin did such a good job when he started singing,

so I was really surprised.

Isn't it cheating to be great singers too?

They did such a great job that I'm in a good mood.

It's a strange feeling.

I'm so happy.

It was a lot darker than our original song.

I thought it was interesting that they could arrange it like that.

I think they chose this song...

to show that they could do this too.

I thought they were courageous for challenging themselves today,

and it was really wonderful.

Practicing the choreography together and recording a new song...

is hard in and of itself,

but being that they participated in creating this performance...

is something I'd like to give them my respect.

I've never seen a performance that had desperation, sadness,

and was lyrical all at the same time.

But they portrayed all of that, so I was surprised.

I'm excited to see more of this from them.

Step out! Thank you. We're Stray Kids.

- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.

(What will be the results of Stray Kids' "I'll Be Your Man"?)

Prayer. I hope they hear our desperate prayers.

(What awaits Stray Kids as they come down from the stage?)

Hello.

Stray Kids!

(The song's original group, BTOB, cheers for them ardently.)

Stray Kids!

Born to be like BTOB.

You guys were great!

(Thank you so much!)

(You guys are great too.)

What? Okay.

(I.N is taking off his mic after the performance.)

(He suddenly starts to tear up.)

I practiced really hard on singing live.

But it was worse than what I thought.

(I.N took on the challenge of singing the higher notes...)

(than the range he usually sings in.)

Maybe it’s because I was so nervous.

My whole body tensed up before I knew it.

I wanted to show 120 percent,

but I feel like I only got to show 40 percent.

I felt sorry. Because of me...

the performance...

It little...

No, a lot...

(Regret about failing to show all that he prepared for.)

Yes.

Good job, I.N.

Which part?

I did a terrible job as a whole.

No, that’s not true.

It’s okay, man.

When did you get so big?

I can’t even hug you now.

Just think of it as a phase.

You can do a better job next time.

Yes.

Besides, I also made quite a few mistakes.

I made lots of mistakes.

I.N worked harder than anybody else.

We all know how much effort he has put in.

I.N really rocked.

He was so much cooler and more awesome...

than when he practiced or rehearsed.

All our Stray Kids members, including our youngest I.N,

did a great job!

With Stary Kids’ performance as the last stage,

Round two came to an end.

I feel a lot better.

Good job, people.

Great job.

Great job, guys.

Kingdom: Legendary War.

Only the evaluation for round two is remaining.

Round two also goes the same.

The higher your combined share for group evaluation,

expert evaluation, global evaluation,

and online performance view evaluation is,

the more points you get.

Okay.

Today, we present the results of...

2 of the 4 categories,

group evaluation and expert evaluation.

The result of the remaining half...

adds global evaluation that viewers have personally evaluated...

with the online performance view evaluation.

After that, the final ranking of the six teams will be determined.

Viewers and global fans who are watching the show.

The global evaluation for round two...

begins right after the episode ends.

So I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on today's results...

while organizing your thoughts...

about to whom you will give your three votes.

Please vote for our team!

Please! Vote for our team!

Now, we will start...

the group and expert evaluation for round two.

(Kingdom, "Re-born")

(Streaming the expert evaluation for round two)

Let's go!

(29 experts and 6 teams start their evaluations.)

(Of the 10,000 points announced today,)

(5,000 points are now up to each team.)

It’s time to give objective assessments.

Who most suited the concept of “Re-born”?

Let's take turns and talk about the three best teams.

I can clearly remember every single stage.

I can’t decide.

Let’s see who agrees and disagrees.

Who agrees?

- SF9... - THE BOYZ...

- iKON... - ATEEZ...

- BTOB... - Stray Kids finished...

the group evaluation.

(Expert evaluation begins. Please vote for the top 3 teams.)

(Expert evaluation completed.)

(What’s the result of group and expert evaluation for round 2?)

(Kingdom: Legendary War)

(After completing group evaluation, 6 teams gathered in 1 place.)

Kingdom: Legendary War.

Group and expert evaluation for round two have been completed.

- Yes! - Yes!

(Make some noise!)

Great job.

(They give each other a round of applause.)

Like the round two’s concept, "Re-born,"

I think all six teams have taken advantage...

of their unique individualities and literally recreated the songs...

into win-win performances.

(9 members' 9 colors complete the performance.)

(Noir concept, SF9’s “The Stealer”)

(Using freshness as their weapon, they aim to upset the rankings!)

(Artistic endeavor to go beyond their limits)

(THE BOYZ’s “O Sole Mio”)

(Can they soar high again after overcoming their worries?)

(Transcending time and space on the stage)

(iKON’s “INCEPTION”)

(With the perfect hip-hop remake, will they rise up in the ranks?)

(Fully loaded with energy, ATEEZ’s “Rhythm Ta”)

(This passionate youngest group is ready to take 1st place again!)

(A performance with an infinite expansion of spectrum)

(BTOB’s “Back Door”)

(What is BTOB's new rank that is garnering people's keen interest?)

(A sensational performance by a self-producing group)

(Stray Kids’ “I’ll Be Your Man”)

(They are aiming for the top spot once again!)

Just as a footnote,

SF9’s interim result for round one...

(Round 1’s group and expert evaluation)

- was sixth place. - Yes.

You must have been very disappointed.

What rank do you expect today?

Well...

Honestly, when we talked about it,

we thought it'd be great...

if we ranked third.

I don't know. But it would be great if we got third place.

I understand. Then, I.N.

Were you able to show everything you prepared for today?

Well...

What do you think? Did we show everything that we prepared?

(I.N’s sudden question caught them off guard.)

- Yes, I think we did. - I think we did show it.

Okay.

ATEEZ won first place in both the expert evaluation...

and the group evaluation in round one.

Are you confident today as well?

I always think about winning first place when preparing,

but when I see these five teams’ performances,

I really can't guess.

So I’m very curious about the result.

I can’t wait.

As he just said,

we will now announce the results of Kingdom’s round two...

that you are all curious about.

- Gosh. - Right away?

Please.

First, we will reveal the scores of the expert evaluation.

Oh my gosh.

I’m going crazy.

Why do I keep thinking about the worst in the worst situation?

Please show us the scores...

of the expert evaluation.

Gosh, I’m so nervous.

(For the expert evaluation,)

(1st place to 6th place will be revealed at once.)

Please...

(What's the result of round two's expert evaluation?)

(1st place: ATEEZ, 1321.839 points, 2nd place: THE BOYZ, 919.540 points)

(3rd place: iKON, 862.069 points, 4th place: SF9, 717.126 points)

(5th place: BTOB, 632.184 points)

(6th place: Stray Kids, 517.241 points)

(Stray Kids went from 2nd place in round 1...)

(to 6th place in round 2.)

(ATEEZ got 1st place in both rounds.)

(iKON went from 5th place in round 1 to 3rd place in round 2.)

We maintained our ranking.

Didn't we get fourth place then too?

For the expert evaluation.

(SF9 got 4th place in both rounds.)

- We moved up one spot. - We moved up.

So this is how it turns out.

The 1st place for round 2’s expert evaluation...

went to ATEEZ,

who got 1321.839 points.

(The current number one group is ATEEZ.)

This was the ranking determined by the experts’ evaluations.

Will the six teams’ choices be the same as this?

Or will it be different?

We will reveal the combined results of Kingdom’s round two...

after adding the group evaluation.

We'll announce the sixth place first.

(The combined result will be announced from 6th place.)

I feel like we’re going to show up at sixth place again.

No. Don’t think that.

This is making my throat dry.

Kingdom’s round two.

Please show us the sixth place now.

We just have to go up.

(6 teams' group evaluation)

(Will the ranking remain the same?)

(Or will it be changed?)

I feel like it’s going to be us.

Are we really plumping straight down?

I was scared.

I’m sure we won’t go lower than this.

I want to stamp the fact that SF9 can grow...

on the people.

Sixth place goes to THE BOYZ.

(Combining the results, THE BOYZ ranked 6th.)

Come on. That’s a lie.

(They went straight down from 2nd place to 6th place.)

(6th place: THE BOYZ, 919.540 points)

(They slipped down 4 ranks.)

(THE BOYZ gets 6th place.)

THE BOYZ ranked second just before.

They were in second place.

I was so glad that we ranked second.

In a way, I was proud...

and thought we were off to a great start.

Since we got it from the experts,

it had more meaning for us.

THE BOYZ, who was ranked second in the expert evaluation,

came down to sixth place.

This means no one voted for us, right?

(THE BOYZ has mixed feelings about the shocking result.)

(They have mixed feelings after placing the lowest ever.)

Let's remember this feeling, guys.

It's all right.

We placed at the bottom,

but we'll overcome this crisis with wisdom...

and show you how much...

we've improved.

That was unexpected.

I can't tell how it will turn out.

Now, the fifth place.

Even if we place fifth, we'll have gone up one rank.

When we place fifth, let's just accept it.

Let's not expect too much today.

Let's not.

Please reveal it now.

(5th place: Stray Kids, 1072.797 points)

Fifth place is Stray Kids.

(Stray Kids placed 5th...)

(in expert and group evaluations.)

(Stray Kids has always been in the upper half,)

(and it's their first time in the lower half.)

This is too shocking.

Why? What's the reason?

I was pretty shocked.

I thought everyone did well,

and I thought we had nothing to regret about our performance.

I'm bewildered.

Han of Stray Kids, you must be really sad...

and taken aback.

Though we placed...

really low today,

we'll clench our teeth...

and practice harder to win first place next time.

We'll do our best.

That's cool.

We don't know what our ranking will be yet.

I'll reveal the fourth place.

Brace yourself.

This is so nerve-racking.

I think it'll be us.

I feel like we got fourth place.

It's about time.

Fourth place is iKON.

(4th place: iKON, 1695.402 points)

(iKON takes 4th place...)

(in expert and group evaluations.)

They were cool.

We went up one rank.

It was our goal to go from 6th place to 4th place.

iKON climbs up one more rank.

- Great job, everyone. - Good work.

We go step by step. We're like turtles.

We'll come up with a better performance next time,

and I want to show people how we climb up the ranking.

We have two more chances.

(Please look forward to it.)

Next, I will reveal the third place.

(The remaining teams are ATEEZ,)

(BTOB, and SF9.)

Are we really placing third?

We won't rank higher than that, will we?

We could.

No way.

Third place is BTOB.

(3rd place: BTOB, 2021.073 points)

(BTOB places 3rd...)

(in expert and group evaluations.)

Seriously?

They were cool.

I calculated it, and from the group evaluation...

Yes, he calculated it.

It turns out all five of them voted for us.

- We're very grateful. - Thank you.

I'm not dreaming, am I?

What?

I hope we can place first now that we've come here.

Round two of Kingdom.

We will now reveal the 1st and 2nd places.

(SF9 placed 6th in round 1.)

(They placed 4th in the expert evaluation of round 2.)

(Will they be able to turn the tables around?)

(After placing 1st in round 1,)

(ATEEZ has also placed 1st in the expert evaluation of round 2.)

(Will they be able to secure...)

(their 1st place?)

I hope we placed first, to be honest.

That would be amazing.

(6th place: THE BOYZ, 5th place: Stray Kids,)

(4th place: iKON)

(During the result announcement,)

(SF9's name wasn't called in the lower ranks.)

(I don't think we placed higher than 3rd place.)

(3rd place: BTOB)

(BTOB takes 3rd place,)

(and they only have 1st and 2nd places to compete for.)

This feels so weird.

It feels weird.

I have no clue.

The result...

will be announced at once.

Please reveal it now.

(Who took 1st place between SF9 and ATEEZ?)

I wish we're higher up.

I think we're qualified enough.

I want first place.

I want to place first again.

We showed them the unique charms of ATEEZ,

so I want to maintain our place.

(Will SF9 have gone up from 6th place in round 1?)

(Or will ATEEZ have secured their 1st place?)

(Who took 1st place...)

(in the expert and group evaluations of round 2?)

Today's first place goes to ATEEZ.

Just like round one last week,

ATEEZ has secured first place.

(SF9 placed 2nd in the expert and group evaluations.)

That was close.

Please tell us how you feel.

I'm thrilled that we earned such a good result,

but I think it's more important...

to show people how much we've matured...

in the next one now that we've placed first.

We appreciate it very much. Thank you.

We've been acknowledged.

Now I have a conviction that what we're doing was right.

We'll keep this up...

and try harder in round 3.

Thank you.

And today's second place.

It's SF9.

(SF9 takes the 2nd place...)

(in the expert and group evaluations.)

(They climbed 4 ranks...)

(from 6th place in round 1.)

- Well done, SF9. - Yes!

We never expected to be ranked this high, so we're thankful.

We've experienced going up and down in the ranking,

so I want to be fixed in the higher rank in round 3.

Our goal is first place.

We'll have our eyes only on that goal and practice.

(Now we know what it's like.)

(Their journey to the throne will continue.)

(6th place: THE BOYZ, 919.540 points)

(5th place: Stray Kids, 1072.797 points)

(4th place: iKON, 1695.402 points)

(3rd place: BTOB, 2021.073 points)

(2nd place: SF9, 2136.015 points)

(1st place: ATEEZ, 2155.172 points)

(Notice for round 2 global evaluation)

(Tonight at 10pm, the global evaluation begins.)

(Choose 3 teams that displayed better performances in round 2.)

(To be continued)

They get to forget about the fierce competition...

to hang out and have fun.

This is the Kingdom Track Meet.

- Kingdom! - Yes!

- Kingdom! - Yes!

They're very excited today.

The first event is the vault.

- He's handsome. - Juyeon! You're handsome.

Oh, no.

Guys, my goal is to win first place.

- Here he goes! - No!

It's a mess.

(This is insane.)

The last event is the relay race.

No!

Woo Young, run!

Let's go! Keep running!

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