QUEENDOM PUZZLE will show a story...

that is different from previous "QUEENDOM" shows.

So we're still here.

I'm worried about falling a tier.

The tiers you've been allotted now...

will be reassigned.

I think I can definitely upset the board.

We will now begin the Up Down Battle.

(Prove yourself through skill alone in the Up Down Battle.)

I really don't remember...

if my left hand or right hand pushed the button.

(Ji Han and Riina performed the same song.)

(They both did Nayeon's "POP!")

(Weeekly's Ji Han versus H1-KEY's Riina)

(They received drastically different results.)

(Do Hwa's performance had an unexpected mistake.)

I don't think she's good enough to be in Tier One.

(Woo Yeon performed MC Taeyeon's "INVU.")

(She received an cold-hearted score after a not-great performance.)

(She received the greatest number of downvotes.)

(Cherry Bullet Bora's Up Down Battle performance)

("Bora will shine brighter now.")

("This might be the most memorable performance of QUEENDOM PUZZLE.")

She's so good.

(She received the greatest number of upvotes.)

I'm my greatest rival.

I'm confident.

(Will another member appear who can beat Bora's score?)

A rival...

Even though it's cruel,

I'm using this as my opportunity.

(Who will be the strongest one to beat Bora?)

What are we doing today?

QUEENDOM PUZZLE's...

new battle.

- A battle? - Drumroll.

It's a 7-on-7 team battle.

It's a 7-on-7 team battle?

Another battle has begun.

Who will take...

the first Puzzle's Power?

We didn't do the Up Down Battle for no reason.

- What? - What?

This person...

will take...

all of the Puzzle's Power.

- What? - What?

- What? - Really?

So this is why it's called "QUEENDOM PUZZLE."

This is the world's cruelest puzzle.

I think we've seen about half now.

Isn't anyone hungry?

I'm hungry.

I'm hungry.

That's what they said.

Let's meet again after dinner.

(Taeyeon, you're the best!)

I didn't do anything, but I'm eating again.

Please enjoy your food.

It's so quiet now.

Let's eat.

(Calmness itself)

Now that there's a break, I'm suddenly sleepy.

(About to fall asleep)

(Kei is taking a short nap.)

How old are you?

I was born in 2002.

- You're the same age as me! - Really?

- She's so cute. - She's our age!

- I want mara soup too. - That looks delicious.

(The body movements of someone who hasn't performed yet)

Do you know how funny I am?

Out of the blue?

You don't know why I'm funny, do you?

Of course, I don't know.

Because I carried both of you on my back.

(I'm the only one who put on a comedy act.)

I'm the only one who put on a comedy act.

(During her entrance)

Hello.

(Her entrance caused a huge ripple of laughter.)

That was hilarious.

Juri has so much energy.

(Bursting with energy)

She's bright, clumsy, and fun.

Want some?

You don't want any.

She has so much energy.

I hear I'm too loud all the time.

(Everywhere Juri goes, it's noisy.)

She's a really fun person.

Are you still studying Korean?

I've been watching "The Glory,"

but I only learned swear words through it.

(Only the younger members are embarrassed for her)

"Are you insane?"

"You're amazing, Yeon Jin!"

- "Just a minute." - Gosh.

But Juri...

is also working very hard...

to achieve the best result.

As an artist,

I want to show people a new kind of performance.

I want to show them the layers of my charm, like an onion.

That's why I prepared my performance with a lot of effort,

and I think I can show what I have.

That went into my preparations for this performance.

(Entering with a large fan)

(Impressed)

What's that?

It's a fan.

She's fully prepared.

The fan is so big.

I'm nervous!

We debuted at around the same time.

(The first performer from Cherry Bullet was Jiwon.)

(She's currently tied for 2nd.)

(In 1st place is Bora, another member of Cherry Bullet.)

(Suyun got a relatively low score.)

As a member of Rocket Punch,

I'll show them all I have, with confidence.

Take me somewhere higher.

("Heart Burn" by Juri of Rocket Punch)

This suits her well.

- She has a great tone of voice. - Exactly.

I have a fever.

Juri, of Rocket Punch, in Tier Three.

Please reveal the results of her Up Down Battle.

You have 20 downvotes.

(Juri got 7 upvotes, and 20 downvotes.)

You have 7 upvotes.

Even though she did so well.

From now on,

my ranking will just go up.

You're so impressive!

- She has so much charisma. - That was great.

That was great.

- Thank you. - You did really well.

- You did well. - It was really good.

(Next to the relieved but disappointed Juri...)

Oh, no.

You'll be fine.

Yes, there's nothing to it.

Honestly, we were totally full of pride...

when we first came out.

- We can do well. - The next performance...

Let's show our best performances.

We prepared a lot to come here.

It's 5:00am right now.

Even when we were in Japan, we practiced consistently,

and prepared for the show.

We're still in Japan.

(Practicing whenever they had time between appearances abroad)

But looking at our votes,

I was so sad at the low scores.

My heart kept burning up, but...

The next performance...

is by Yeonhee from Rocket Punch.

- Oh, no. - Yeonhee, you can do it.

- I thought this was my chance. - You can do it.

Even though this is an individual competition,

we still have our group's reputation at stake.

So I have to really do well.

I have to really show them everything.

I wanted to come back to the others with my head held high.

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

I'm really looking forward to this.

- Her outfit... - She looks like a princess.

She looks like a Barbie doll.

What song gives off the image of a Barbie doll?

Here we go.

("DUMB DUMB" by Yeonhee)

(To be continued shortly)

("DUMB DUMB" by Yeonhee)

(What?)

(Feeling dizzy)

That was a total flip. That was amazing.

My goodness!

She did great!

- I was so shocked. - I was shocked too.

That turn was incredible.

From Tier Three, Rocket Punch's Yeonhee.

Your contestant evaluation is over.

- What? - What happened?

- Her shoe came off. - Are you all right?

Yes, my shoe strap broke.

When?

Oh, no.

No wonder she seemed shaky.

Not long after starting my performance,

the strap of my shoe went flying.

I couldn't keep my balance while I was turning.

I thought I was in trouble.

After that, I couldn't stop having all kinds of thoughts.

"If I throw one shoe off,"

"it would look too weird, right?"

"I should keep it on no matter what, right?"

Starting with those thoughts,

I also started thinking, "Am I really someone..."

"who would let a shoe distract her so much?"

I felt so many mixed feelings.

I didn't notice.

- Me neither. - Me neither.

It was really perfect.

I had no idea it was broken.

She did so well until the end, so that no one noticed.

I watched without even knowing that.

- She's a total pro. - Yes, I had no idea.

Please reveal the results...

of Tier Three Yeonhee's Up Down Battle.

I wanted to go back to the others with my head held high.

You have 12 upvotes,

and 15 downvotes.

- Because her shoe was broken. - Oh, no.

- I'd be so upset if I were here. - Yes.

We all practiced a lot for this,

so I don't think I can blame my shoe...

for giving a lesser performance.

I wanted to show you a more impressive performance.

It was impressive.

- It was impressive. - It was impressive.

Thank you.

I'd feel so much regret.

How could this happen?

This was insane.

I wanted to show the members how many upvotes I could get.

- You did so well. - You're a Barbie doll.

- Yeonhee. - You were great.

- You were. - You were a legend.

I wasn't professional enough.

No, you were perfect.

- You really did well. - Really?

Look at my isolation.

- Look. - Your hand is above.

- What? - Yes, you can do it too.

(Brimming with energy now that their performance is over.)

Your outfit matches the water.

(A human water bottle)

Pop!

Then raise your hands.

And back to your hands. Pop.

Getting 16 upvotes is a lot.

It's a lot.

(Ji Han showed a performance of "POP!" earlier.)

(ZOA performed "After School" and "First Love.")

(Ji Han: 17 upvotes, 10 downvotes ZOA: 16 upvotes, 11 downvotes)

We all did really well though.

Now...

I don't know when I'll go.

I had to get as many upvotes as possible.

I became more motivated.

Next up...

is from Tier Two, Weeekly's So Eun.

Please come to the stage.

With Weeekly,

we did a cover dance of a male idol dance.

(Woo!ah! main dancer Nana, Weeekly main dancer, So Eun)

(Raise your hand if you can only see Nana!)

We met at a relay dance.

She was a great dancer.

My greatest advantage?

Something you'd never lose at.

I'll go with dancing.

I'm Weeekly's main dancer,

so I'm confident in dancing.

I'm confident that I won't lose to anyone in that.

I'll have confidence and do my best here.

Please do well.

Why? What song is this?

It's by Seulgi from Red Velvet.

What? Oh, this.

(The song, "28 Reasons" by So Eun)

Let's see the results immediately.

Please reveal the results...

of So Eun's Up Down Battle.

You received 13 upvotes,

and 14 downvotes.

I did regret many parts of my performance,

but I'll work hard to become an artist...

who can make up for all of these lackings.

We enjoyed your performance.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You did well.

- Thank you. - So Eun.

You did a great job.

The next performance will be by Weeekly's Soo Jin.

- Oh? - Really?

- What? - Soo Jin.

- Send me positive vibes. - Have a good performance.

- Give me positive energy. - You can do it.

They're so close.

They're filming a movie back here the whole time.

That's the good thing about having your team with you.

- Good luck! - You're a princess!

You look so pretty!

I'm sure she'll do well.

She's our leader, after all.

(After So Eun from Weeekly's performance)

You did well.

- You sang well live. - Really?

(Watching Ji Han's performance)

I can't remember a thing.

I was watching on the screen, and you looked really pretty.

Right.

(Cheering for their youngest, ZOA, during her performance)

I was over paced, so I wasn't synced up right.

The expression was like this,

so it looked more powerful.

Our leader, Soo Jin,

is really kind when she needs to be,

and is good at giving advice when we need help with problems.

I told Soo Jin I was so nervous, I was going insane,

and she said, "it's okay. Just enjoy yourself."

"You can't do anything now, so enjoy yourself tomorrow."

- In 1, 2, 3, good luck! - In 1, 2, 3, good luck!

(The final member of Weeekly to perform, Soo Jin)

In 1, 2, 3.

- Lee Soo Jin, good luck! - Lee Soo Jin, good luck!

I want to be with my group members too.

("FLOWER" by Soo Jin)

It's "FLOWER," but with a tango theme.

It's like a flower blossoming.

That suits her so well.

- This song was perfect for her. - We enjoyed your performance.

Please reveal the results...

Oh, no, I'm so nervous.

I think she got a good score.

Please reveal the results.

You received 13 upvotes,

and 14 downvotes.

Thank you so much for giving me a better score than I expected.

From now on, I'll show you even better performances.

Thank you.

(You're great, Soo Jin!)

- You did well. - Great job!

(You did great.)

They're so cute.

Weeekly is so diverse. Their themes are so varied.

The next performance is from Tier Three.

From Tier Three, from tripleS, Seo Yeon.

- Let's go. - Good luck!

Careful of your heels. Careful of your ankles.

All right.

She's so cute.

- Hello. - She spent 0 days as a trainee.

- I'm the most curious about her. - Totally.

So they were cast for the show and debuted immediately?

How many days did you spend as a trainee?

None. I was actually preparing to retake my college entrance exam.

(Seo Yeon the high school student)

(Waking up)

(Happy birthday to you)

I was contacted as I was preparing to take the exam again,

and I attended a meeting.

The CEO probably sensed that I was extraordinary.

(Laughing)

After that meeting,

it was announced almost immediately.

It didn't even take a month. About three weeks?

I knew nothing about it when they revealed my face.

And I found out that it was revealed the day before.

So, we somehow ended up doing it together.

You somehow became a singer?

I normally don't believe in fate,

but I came to believe it.

Everything just went that way for some reason.

Everything in my life up to this point.

(Seo Yeon somehow goes to the stage for the Up Down Battle.)

My outfit...

- makes me look like a bodyguard. - Careful.

Okay.

Is that a speed bump?

No speeding.

Things are going to work somehow.

This moment

What's with the accent?

She's...

someone that we've never seen...

Should I call it her character?

(Chanting all of a sudden)

Finally!

(Even her teammate can't handle her level of energy.)

Hello. It's nice to meet you.

(Even greeting the dolls)

She has the most interesting thoughts.

Go with the flow.

I started from zero days of trainee days,

and I'll start with zero upvotes.

I think that'll be fun.

Go with the flow.

(After the performance)

The result of the Up Down Battle...

(What's the result of Seo Yeon's Up Down Battle?)

Please show us.

Please show us.

(Bright)

Thank you.

I have to brag about it to my manager.

- About what? - "I got two upvotes!"

I thought I'd get 0 upvotes, but I got 2 upvotes.

One of them is from Ji Woo.

But I don't know about the other one.

Can you guess who upvoted you?

I'm not sure.

I honestly have no idea.

Seo Yeon!

(Was it Juri?)

(Or was it Bora?)

(Or Yeonhee?)

Who would it be?

(Who upvoted Seo Yeon?)

Good luck, Seo Yeon.

Seo Yeon of tripleS from Tier Three.

Her re-evaluation performance will start now.

(Seo Yeon's re-evaluation performance begins now.)

("Cherry Talk" by Seo Yeon of tripleS)

Adorable!

So refreshing.

Are her ankles all right?

She's so pure.

She's cheerful.

She's cute.

How lovely.

Oh, they're all gone.

They left in a flash.

We'll announce the result immediately.

Please show us the result of her Up Down Battle.

Two upvotes...

and 25 downvotes.

Well,

I was actually expecting...

to get zero votes.

- Oh, no. - What?

It hasn't been that long since my debut.

And it all feels like I'm watching you on TV.

So, this whole thing is an honor.

I'm extremely honored that I get to have...

all of you and the staff members remember me. Thank you.

That's sweet.

Thank you!

Compared to the life I've lived,

it was a generous result.

Who else do you think upvoted other than Ji Woo?

I have no clue.

(Who's the other one that upvoted her?)

(Bora who clapped intensely?)

(Downvote)

(Juri who cheered for her loudly?)

(Downvote)

(Yeonhee who affectionately cared for her?)

(Downvote)

(Who's the member that upvoted Seo Yeon?)

She practiced very hard for the performance,

and I couldn't stop smiling as I watched.

(During everyone's performance...)

When I watched their performances,

I genuinely thought that they were excellent.

I was so impressed that I had to upvote them.

I actually love the performances of Korean pop idols.

I've told you that I wanted to sing and dance in Korea, right?

You can be yourself and follow your dream.

Don't leave any regrets.

- Wish me luck! - Good luck!

There she is.

Miru!

Fantastic.

Miru!

Her outfit is intense.

- Right. - Her outfit is memorable.

And it's made of leather.

- Goodness. - There's gold around her neck.

This is going to be good.

I'm sure she'll be amazing.

Good luck!

So cool.

She's charismatic.

That's epic.

She made her debut 13 years ago.

This is her 13th year.

This is my 13th year since my debut.

(She was the leading member of NMB48, a Japanese idol band.)

Today, I'm going to perform...

"Shine Bright," my song as a solo artist.

The lyrics perfectly describe...

how I want to start from scratch in Korea.

That's why I picked this song.

I want to move people's hearts with this performance.

Miru from Tier Four.

Her re-evaluation performance will start now.

She got into character instantly.

("Shine Bright" by Miru)

(Amazed)

She's holding the microphone in her hand!

It must be nerve-racking to perform without dancers.

She's a great singer.

- She did it so well... - The re-evaluation performance...

- without any dancers. - by Miru from Tier Four has ended.

- She did great. - Well done.

I'm touched.

I heard that Juri and Miru were friends.

Yes!

I had no idea that we'd meet here.

(Her eyes are fixed on Taeyeon.)

You can look at her.

I'm shy.

Cute.

We were in the same group...

when we were back in Japan.

The moment I saw her,

all of our memories came back to me.

Long time no see, Miru.

Wait, did I say that in Japanese?

- Yes, you did. Good job. - I did, right?

I get confused.

(Laughing)

What is happening?

Let's have a friendly competition together.

Let's!

You can communicate in Japanese.

Oh, in Japanese! Sorry.

Feel at ease.

Let's have a friendly...

- Competition? - competition.

- Yes. You bet. Good luck. - Yes!

- Her Korean sounds more fluent. - Right?

All right. Please show us the result...

of the Up Down Battle of Miru from Tier Four.

All right. Five upvotes.

And 22 downvotes.

(Seo Yeon of tripleS is last with 2 upvotes and 25 downvotes.)

There were a lot of people who got more downvotes than upvotes.

I thought that their standards were heightened as it progressed.

- It must have been tough alone. - Even if you're not nervous here,

- isn't it nerve-racking down there? - Yes!

My hands were trembling.

I've participated in a Korean survival show before.

What I learned from there...

has become a turning point in my life.

And I was eager to challenge myself once again in Korea.

So...

Oh, no.

Juri, I feel like crying.

She's choked up.

Anyway...

Anyway,

thank you for watching my performance.

I'll practice harder to put smiles on more people.

I'll do my best. Please keep rooting for me.

- She's so well-spoken. - I know, right?

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you for the performance. You may step down.

- She loosened up all of a sudden. - Totally.

I got choked up once I saw Juri's face.

(Members who upvoted Miru: Juri)

Juri!

Juri!

I gained confidence...

from having a teammate who thought highly of me.

I have a feeling that I can work harder.

Juri, I seriously love you.

The next performance is...

by PURPLE KISS's Yuki.

Please step on the stage.

Good luck, Yuki!

Good luck.

- Is she Japanese? - No, I don't think so.

She is Japanese.

- She is? - Yes.

She's Japanese,

- and she's an amazing rapper. - She's fantastic.

(The rappers among 28 members)

(Yuki, Ye Eun, and Sang Ah)

(Position: Rapper)

- I can't wait. - Me neither.

I'm a rapper, right?

So, I naturally had to hold her in check.

(She's got amazing expressions. How does she rap so well?)

(Yuki is a great dancer and a great rapper.)

(The main rapper of PURPLE KISS, Yuki)

(She raps excellently in Korean.)

The most confident quality of mine is rap.

I want to tell people that I can rap...

fabulously in Korean, although I'm Japanese.

They're holding hats.

(The same fedoras from Ji Woo's performance)

- Fedoras? - Fedoras?

(Ji Woo left an impression with her fedora dance.)

She even has pistols?

She wins.

- I can't beat that. - You had a tie.

Okay.

("Who Cares?" by Yuki from PURPLE KISS)

Gosh.

She's seriously good.

She wore the hat.

Here it comes!

(Yuki forgot the lyrics.)

Let's check out the result. Show us, please.

(What's the result of Yuki's Up Down Battle?)

- What? - Wait.

Yuki of PURPLE KISS...

received 13 upvotes...

and 14 downvotes.

Right. I actually did better during practice.

I revised the lyrics a few days ago,

and I forgot some of them.

It was such a bummer.

But thank you very much...

for giving me as many as 13 upvotes.

But that was the first rapper, wasn't it?

- It was! - Right.

She'll be very valuable...

- in team missions. - You have a point.

The next performance is by Sang Ah of LIGHTSUM.

(Sang Ah of LIGHTSUM in Tier 4, Up Down Battle)

(Little SOYEON)

"Little SOYEON?"

The one from LIGHTSUM?

Wait. Is it?

(Sang Ah from LIGHTSUM)

- She's a LIGHTSUM member! - LIGHTSUM.

(Sang Ah currently in Cube, and Ye Eun formerly in Cube)

(It's been a long time.)

(Her name is Sang Ah. She's in LIGHTSUM.)

(They're both rappers and from the same agency.)

Here she comes.

- Her keyword was Little SOYEON. - I bet she's good.

- I bet she's amazing. - Right.

- I'm so excited. - Same here.

- "Black Dress!" - It's her senior's song.

(She chose "Black Dress" by CLC.)

I had a lot of cool artists at Cube Entertainment,

so I chose a song by one of them.

In "Black Dress,"

I reckoned that I'd be able to show...

my talents better by doing Ye Eun's rap.

("Black Dress" by Sang Ah of LIGHTSUM)

(She made a slight mistake.)

("TOMBOY" by Sang Ah of LIGHTSUM)

- Goodness. - Oh, my.

A medley of songs by Cube's artists.

They were both by her agency's singers.

- CLC... - Thank you for the performance.

- and (G)I-DLE. - Tier Four...

Please show us the result of her Up Down Battle.

(What's the result of Sang Ah's Up Down Battle?)

Oh, my.

Okay.

So, Sang Ah has received 11 upvotes...

and 16 downvotes.

I'll show you a better performance in the future.

It wasn't good enough.

And Ye Eun was watching,

so it was a shame.

Next, from Tier Two,

- it's Ye Eun of CLC. - Oh, no.

Please step on the stage.

- Good luck! - Good luck!

I can't wait to watch her perform.

She's relaxed.

She's been relaxed the whole time.

I was absolutely in love with Ye Eun when I was in high school.

- You should tell her. - Maybe later.

- We were evaluated... - By one of her songs.

We were once evaluated by your song...

- when we were trainees. - Really?

- Oh, really? - Yes.

Then, who sang my part?

That'd be me.

I wanted to show them...

that I was still the same Ye Eun but better.

I can't wait.

"HELICOPTER?"

Isn't this "HELICOPTER?"

("Cherry Coke" by Ye Eun)

I got goosebumps!

It shows her experience.

It's like we're at her concert.

- Is this a music show? - That was insane.

That was so cool.

It's so cool she performed her own song.

I think it's great to have your own songs as a solo artist.

Let's see the results of the Up Down Battle.

(What are the results of the Up Down Battle for Ye Eun?)

She got 19 upvotes...

- and eight downvotes. - Okay.

That's fair.

Thank you.

Was there anything you thought I should work on?

It was good overall,

but you seemed a little tense.

- Right. - You were, right?

- Everything else was great. - Really?

This is fun.

It's very exciting.

Let's move on to the next performer.

It's Haein of LABOUM.

- Good luck! - Please get up to the stage.

- Good luck! - Good luck!

- Good luck! - Good luck!

I wonder what she'll perform.

"Journey to Atlantis," perhaps?

(Singing "Journey to Atlantis")

I like that song.

(Singing along)

("Journey to Atlantis" is one of the favorite songs of soldiers.)

(I want to rejoin the army to sing along with them.)

(LABOUM is soldiers' favorite.)

(Listen to them sing along.)

My friend was like, "You're incredibly popular."

"You're the most popular one in LABOUM."

I knew that, but I tried to be modest.

I was like, "No, I don't know about that."

I've never performed alone before.

It's a good challenge for me.

I'm going to make people know who Haein is.

("Journey to Atlantis" by Haein of LABOUM)

"Journey to Atlantis."

How cute.

("Between Us" by Haein of LABOUM)

- It's "Between Us." - I love this song.

Oh, my.

(What are the results of the Up Down Battle for Haein?)

Haein of LABOUM in the second tier.

- Her re-evaluation is now over. - Yes.

Let's see the results of the Up Down Battle.

She received five upvotes.

Oh, my goodness.

- As for downvotes, - Yes.

she received 22.

Well, I realized that everyone is really here...

to win this competition.

I thought I should change...

my attitude as well.

I will accept these results.

Thank you so much for an objective evaluation.

Thank you.

(Haein in the 2nd-tier group got disappointing results.)

Let's move on to the next performer.

It's Chaerin of Cherry Bullet!

(Chaerin of Cherry Bullet)

- I really didn't think it'd be me. - Good luck!

You're the youngest one of us here.

- Break a leg. - Okay.

- Go get them. - Go get them.

- I'm excited. Good luck! - Good luck!

The other members of Cherry Bullet got great results.

Bora is in the lead right now.

(1st place, tied for 2nd place)

I couldn't help but feel pressured.

Bora and Jiwon had done a good job. I felt like I had to do well too.

I think I'm going to be really nervous up there.

I'm so nervous.

Gosh, I'm nervous.

We have to perform live, and that's a lot of pressure.

I think I've never been so nervous before.

(Another nervous performer is Elly.)

My heart

Gosh, I'm so nervous I can't remember the lyrics.

Hold me

No. It's, "Look at me."

Get it together, Hae Rim.

Again. Let me rehearse a little.

- Okay. - Sure.

Most people don't seem to know...

every member of Weki Meki.

(Weki Meki is a group of 8 members created by Fantagio.)

(Only some of its members are well-known to the public.)

For now... "I am Elly."

"I have to make a strong impression."

That's what I'm thinking.

I'm going to be fierce, which I've never been in my 26 years of life.

I'm excited.

I'm really curious. I can't wait.

Elly of Weki Meki. Her re-evaluation will begin now.

("Sonata of Temptation" by Elly of Weki Meki)

It's "Sonata of Temptation."

(Elly made a mistake with the lyrics.)

This is an unexpected choice of song.

(What kind of performance did Chaerin of Cherry Bullet prepare?)

("Bicycle" by Chaerin of Cherry Bullet)

"Bicycle?"

(Gasping)

She killed him.

(Screaming)

Goodness.

Goodness. What a shame.

It's such a shame.

(End of evaluation)

Please reveal the results of Chaerin's...

Elly's Up Down Battle.

(What will their results look like?)

You received four upvotes...

- and 23 downvotes. - Yes.

(They received the same score.)

I feel like this wasn't enough time...

to showcase yourself.

On top of that, you had to perform...

without your members,

which you probably weren't used to.

I hope you can show us your various charms in the future.

(The Up Down Battle is almost over.)

What's the next performance? I wonder what it'll be.

- I feel like I've seen it all. - Every possible concept.

There was nothing super sexy though.

- Super sexy. - I...

I feel like JooE's performance will be sexy.

Will it?

I feel like you'll do something sexy and cool.

(They were curious about JooE's concept from the beginning.)

- It's a secret. - I see.

You were cool and sexy just now.

It felt different.

(Will JooE's performance be as they expect?)

Do I have to take something off too?

- Sexy. - It's your skin.

- I'm curious about your stage too. - Mine?

My concept is far from sexy.

Is it sentimental?

- Slightly? It's sorrowful. - You're good at singing.

Okay. Now, from Tier One,

MOMOLAND's JooE...

will get ready for her performance.

- Good luck. - You got this.

- Kill it out there. - Good luck.

She's sexy.

- She's so sexy. - She's so sexy.

She's striking.

Your outfit is very...

I didn't know because you were sitting down.

It's slightly revealing.

I thought my outfit, at the least,

should be the most intense.

I don't have a company right now,

so no one can stop me.

Then how did you prepare for your stage?

- Did you do everything? - Yes.

Yes, I did everything with my own money.

- Really? - Yes.

(Manager Joo of JooJoo Entertainment starts her day at 8am.)

If I can show a different style such as tango...

that's not too different...

from the original concept...

(Manager Joo's daily log, 3pm: battle song recording)

(Manager Joo's daily log, 7pm: dance practice)

(She practices late into the night.)

(24 hours is not enough in Manager Joo's day.)

- I self-reflected. - Why?

I should work harder.

No. That means I have to work even harder.

Don't be like that, Yeoreum.

If that happens, I'll have to...

work my socks off.

It must've been tough.

But I think your performance will be great.

I'll try my best.

I made the decision myself,

and it's a performance that I created on my own.

I trust that I'll do well.

I'm good.

I'll do a good job.

Her dancers are sexy too.

She's making me excited. What's going on?

What's the chair doing there?

("24 Hours" by JooE of MOMOLAND)

What?

It was "24 Hours?"

It's so sexy.

She took off her jacket.

- Sexy. - She's so sexy.

The ending left a lingering effect.

- It's over. - I...

I had to hold my breath.

Tier One, MOMOLAND JooE's re-evaluation stage is over.

JooE of MOMOLAND received six upvotes...

and 21 downvotes.

I will work harder and practice more for next time.

- You're so cool. - You're so cool.

You're so positive. Nice.

Thank you.

What do I do?

I don't want to go back in.

I don't want to go.

I don't want to go.

Everyone in Tier One did well.

I don't deserve that title.

Please stand by.

- Good work. - Thank you.

- You did great. - Thank you.

- We should clap loudly for her. - Of course.

Get ready.

- Let's pour out all of our energy. - JooE's coming.

- You did great, JooE. - You're so cool.

Thank you.

You're amazing for having completed your performance.

Good job.

The next performance...

will be from Tier Four.

It is H1-KEY's Hwiseo.

- You got this. - Please make your way to the stage.

- She's H1-KEY's voice. - I'll be back.

- She's the main vocalist. - She is?

- Yes. - I see.

I feel like she'll do a good job.

I think I heard that she has a unique voice.

Bye!

Goodbye!

(She runs excitedly toward the stage.)

She doesn't look nervous at all.

I want to perform so badly.

I want to perform.

I want to perform quickly. I want to show them.

I've been waiting for this moment to come.

I want to get it done quickly.

Hwiseo...

has a charming voice.

I really like her intro.

(She opens up "Rose Blossom" with her powerful voice.)

She's really good at singing.

H1-KEY's Hwiseo.

I thought her voice was unique.

It's her own cheat code.

Junior idols these days are so talented.

I'm looking forward to her performance.

I prepared a performance where I'll be singing and dancing.

So I'm confident...

in coming in first.

I'm so excited.

I want people to know that there is someone...

who is capable of singing and dancing powerfully and that...

that very person...

is the one who sang "Rose Blossom."

- It takes 20 to 30 minutes. - A microphone stand?

I guess she'll focus on her vocals.

("Rose Blossom" by Hwiseo of H1-KEY)

Gosh, her voice.

She's really good at singing.

Her singing is stable.

Here it comes.

Hey.

("TOMBOY" by Hwiseo of H1-KEY)

- It's "TOMBOY." - It's "TOMBOY."

Why is she so good?

Is she singing live?

She's so good.

- Gosh, she's so good. - She's good.

- Both hands and feet. - Both hands and feet.

I love you.

That was awesome. I think I'll become her fan.

I love you.

H1-KEY's Hwiseo, who is in Tier Four,

- thank you for your performance. - Thank you.

I will go ahead and announce the results now.

I think she'll get a high score.

Please reveal the results of the Up Down Battle.

(Currently in 2nd, Yeoreum and Jiwon: 24 upvotes, 3 downvotes)

(Currently in 1st, Bora: 25 upvotes, 2 downvotes)

(Did Hwiseo receive the most upvotes?)

I'm confident in getting first place.

- That's a good result. - Gosh.

(What is Hwiseo's Up Down Battle result?)

You received 23 upvotes...

and four downvotes.

Yes! Thank you.

Yes, thank you for your performance.

- Thank you. - Please give her a hand.

Please take out your in-ear monitors.

(Backstage after her performance)

The results were...

Gosh, it fell.

I had some regrets...

because I probably could've received more upvotes...

if I did better.

I wasn't...

completely satisfied with my vocal performance.

It made me want to work harder.

(1st, Bora: 25 upvotes, 2 downvotes)

(2nd, Jiwon: 24 upvotes, 3 downvotes)

(2nd, Yeoreum: 24 upvotes, 3 downvotes)

It's the last performance.

- The last one? - Kei?

It's time for the last performance.

From Tier One,

(The last member to perform)

Kei of Lovelyz.

- Please make your way... - Good luck.

- I'll be back. - Good luck.

- Bora is currently in first. - Yes.

- She's so good at singing. - She's good.

- Her voice... - Death Note.

I feel like she chose a song that can showcase her vocals.

- Good luck. - I'll be back.

- Kei, good luck. - Good luck.

Thank you.

She's good at singing.

She's an amazing singer.

I can't wait to watch her performance.

Whose performance do you want to see the most?

- Kei. - Kei.

- Kei. - Kei.

Kei is so good at singing.

She is extremely good at singing.

(Everyone acknowledges her vocal skills.)

But the thing is, Bora of Cherry Bullet...

killed it.

Bora.

She's good at singing.

And her high notes were on point.

(Bora showcased her explosive high notes in "My Sea.")

(Bora is currently in 1st place.)

Thank you.

There's no one who's as good as you.

Be proud of yourself.

I feel like she'll be what motivates me,

so a part of me feels excited.

Because I'm pretty determined.

Through my performance,

I will show everyone why I'm in Tier One.

I'm excited.

She has sung in musicals.

Binoculars. Zooming in.

Her re-evaluation performance will start now.

What will she sing? I'm so curious.

(What kind of performance did she prepare?)

(Tier 1, Kei's re-evaluation performance starts now.)

It looks like a sculpture.

("Destiny" by Kei)

This song is so good.

I like this song.

She's so cool.

I'm getting chills.

(The full cam video for each member can be viewed on YouTube.)

- She's pretty. - So pretty.

- That was amazing. - My lips are dry.

That was crazy.

Thank you.

- I enjoyed your performance. - Thank you.

Then I will go ahead and announce the results right away.

Please reveal the results of the Up Down Battle.

Singing has always been my main focus in my career.

A lot of people have also acknowledged my skills.

So I think I was slightly confident.

However, I was in first place.

I will continue to be first when it comes to singing.

Please reveal the results.

The next battle...

- is a 7-on-7 team battle. - What?

Being a part of the same group doesn't mean they have to be...

on the same team.

This person will be given the right to match all the puzzle pieces.

Even if we're together right now, we might have to split up.

Those who have been chosen,

and those who are dropped because they weren't chosen.

Do we have to go this far?

I was in despair.

I don't want to be dropped.

I was enraged.

(To be continued shortly)

I will announce the results.

Please reveal the results of Kei's Up Down Battle.

Singing has always been my main focus in my career.

A lot of people have also acknowledged my skills.

So I think I was slightly confident.

However, I was in first place.

I will continue to be first when it comes to singing.

Please reveal the results.

Yes. Kei, you received 18...

- Really? - upvotes...

and nine downvotes.

Thank you. Yes!

I think it's important to sing live and to express oneself on stage.

(Kei didn't sing during the chorus.)

So it was a shame.

It is a shame, but we’re just now starting.

What I showed everyone today is not everything.

So I feel like I’m more motivated now.

You’re at the top.

- Bora is first. - First?

- And Yeoreum is in second. - Jiwon.

- Bora did a good job. - She did.

- She's lucky. - She looks different now.

I’m in a good mood.

(Cherry Bullet's Bora, in Tier 3, protected her 1st place spot.)

(Ranked last, Seo Yeon of tripleS: 2 upvotes, 25 downvotes)

I’ll probably move to Tier Four.

I’m so scared. It’s okay. I need to accept it.

(All of the re-evaluation performances are now over.)

Your current tiers will be reformed.

(What will the final results of the Up Down Battle look like?)

The final results for the Up Down Battle will be revealed now.

(Tier 2, Haein of LABOUM: 5 upvotes, 22 downvotes)

(Tier 1, JooE of MOMOLAND: 6 upvotes, 21 downvotes)

Please reveal the new Tier Four members.

(Tier 4: JooE, Miru, Haein, Elly, Woo Yeon, Chaerin, Seo Yeon)

(Each newly formed tier consists of 7 members.)

It hurt my pride.

I didn’t want to admit the results.

I’m obviously not satisfied with the result.

You’ll do better, and you'll only go higher from now on.

Please reveal the new members for Tiers 3 and 2.

(Tier 2: Kei, Ji Han, ZOA, Fye, So Eun, Soo Jin, Yuki)

(Tier 3: Suyun, Yeonhee, Sang Ah, Do Hwa, Riina, Juri, Ji Woo)

Sang Ah moved up.

Riina as well.

(H1-KEY's Riina: from Tier 4 to 3)

We moved from Tier 3 to Tier 3. It was the same.

I was planning on moving at least one tier up.

I'm so sad.

- All of the Weeekly members... - They all get to stay in Tier Two.

(Weeekly members stay in Tier 2)

(Kei and Do Hwa moved from Tier 1 to Tiers 2 and 3)

My worst performance on this show will be today's.

Enjoy your time while it lasts. I'm just moving away for a moment.

I'll be back.

Lastly, please reveal the new members...

(Who will be in Tier 1?)

of Tier One.

(Tier 1: Bora, Yeoreum, Jiwon,)

(Hwiseo, Chae Yeon, Nana, Ye Eun)

This is Tier One.

Ye Eun,

Nana of woo!ah!, Chae Yeon,

(Nana: from Tier 4 to 1, Chae Yeon: from Tier 1 to 1)

Hwiseo of H1-KEY, Jiwon of Cherry Bullet,

(Jiwon of Cherry Bullet: from Tier 3 to 1)

Yeoreum of WJSN,

and Bora of Cherry Bullet.

(Bora of Cherry Bullet: from Tier 3 to 1)

I am worthy of Tier One.

- Really? - You guys can leave.

- Let's go. - Seriously?

- Bye. - Bye.

- Bye, Yeoreum. See you. - I was happy here.

Let's move quickly.

Hello.

(Meanwhile,)

(Do Hwa moves down to Tier 3,)

(where the Cherry Bullet members were originally at.)

- Hello. - Hello.

(Cherry Bullet's Jiwon and Bora move up to Tier 1.)

Hello.

Your performance was worthy of being in Tier One.

- Good work. - Thank you.

- Hello. - Hello.

(Nana and Hwiseo move up to Tier 1 from Tier 4.)

This place is high.

- Is this right? No, you're good. - I'm sorry.

(Nana and Hwiseo move up to Tier 1 from Tier 4.)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - This place is high.

(They move up to the highest spot.)

Good work.

(It took them a while to move up to Tier 1.)

- We're so high up. - We're so high up.

It's high.

(The new Tier 1 members are all seated.)

(Meanwhile, JooE is moving down from Tier 1.)

Hello.

Hello.

(JooE is the only member who moved from Tier 1 to Tier 4.)

They looked so happy.

- Even now. - Right?

They look so happy. I'm jealous.

(Along with the reorganization of the tiers,)

(the Up Down Battle is over.)

(Previous tiers)

(New tiers)

(A revote took place for members who tied.)

You're showing us this?

It's so tempting.

You will be able to see the names of the members...

who voted up and down for your performance.

(The card contains the names of the members.)

You are allowed to check the card.

However, if you do not want to, you can give the card back to us.

The Up Down Battle voting results...

I will not look at it.

I think I already know, so I don't really need to look.

Ignorance is bliss.

That phrase exists for a reason.

Checking won't change the number of upvotes or downvotes I got.

(What did the other members choose to do?)

I want to see it.

How could I not?

Is there anyone who chose not to?

What? I can really see the names.

What do I do?

Gosh. Hold on.

I don't care about the top right now.

Okay.

But I respect...

I respect their decisions. Yes.

I have also pressed the downvote button for some people.

So I believe they pressed it for the same reason I did.

They were simply just evaluating the performances.

I'm sure there was no one...

who intentionally downvoted me in order to lower my rank.

They're all artists that I respect,

so I consider it an honor...

that they watched my performance and evaluated it.

So I think I need to see this.

- Be frank. - What?

Wasn't my performance awful from beginning to end?

No, not at all.

Wasn't "Journey to Atlantis" the same as my other performances?

It was good up to "Journey to Atlantis."

- Then after that? - The latter part was...

If people tell me everything was great about my performance,

it might feel good for a moment.

But if I know I could've done better,

I don't think it would've mattered if others told me...

that it was perfect.

I feel like this will help me work harder.

I like it.

I'm glad I checked.

You shouldn't feel offended by this.

- Of course. - Yes.

I'm thankful that everyone was being honest.

A lot of people downvoted me...

But I'm going to do well in the future.

So I have no regrets.

(Which members are the first to arrive?)

(H1-KEY's Riina and Hwiseo)

What?

What is this?

(Puzzle Studio has practice rooms for the members...)

(and a Queens' Lounge.)

- It's outside. - It's actually a lounge.

- Oh, my. - It's so pretty. What?

(An area for the members to gather, the Queens' Lounge)

"Puzzle Studio."

It's pretty. It's like a pretty cafe.

The atmosphere is very different from yesterday.

(Everyone was on edge for the Up Down Battle.)

It's completely different.

This is Puzzle Studio.

(Ji Woo and Seo Yeon arrive at Puzzle Studio.)

This place is so cool.

Someone's here.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hi.

(The next members: Weeekly's Soo Jin, ZOA, Ji Han, and So Eun)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(It's their first time meeting again after the Up Down Battle.)

Do we just wait here?

- That's what we've been doing. - We were just sitting here.

(They're not that close yet.)

Can I go inside? I'll go in.

What?

Jung Hae Rim, let's do this.

- It's me. - We're not late today.

- What a relief. - Today...

- You came with human beings today. - You guys are answering me.

(Suyun and Yeonhee were not human last time.)

(They won't answer.)

I don't need the dolls anymore.

(Everyone has arrived.)

- Gosh. - Hello.

(Screaming)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(Amazed)

(Exclaiming)

- Did you all sleep well? - Yes.

What do you think you'll do today?

(Everyone becomes silent all of a sudden.)

What will we do?

- You're not sure, right? - No.

All right. I will go ahead and reveal the new battle.

A battle?

- The next battle is... - What is it?

a 7-on-7 Team Battle.

- It's 7 on 7? - It's 7 on 7.

I was wondering why it was 7 on 7.

If you divide the 28 people into groups of 7,

you get 2 sets of 7-on-7 battles.

I realized that's how the Team Battle will be.

Teams of seven people...

will battle against each other.

You will be divided into four groups...

to create a performance video of QUEENDOM PUZZLE's signal song.

- Signal song? - Performance video?

A performance video?

Someone special will evaluate your performance...

- What? - and decide who wins.

Who could it be?

I just hope it isn't us.

According to the result, the members of the winning team...

will each receive 10,000 points...

(All the members of the winning team will receive 10,000 points.)

as a benefit.

We must win.

At this moment, the viewers...

are also voting...

for the perfect combination of seven members.

Since you will be competing with the same song,

- each part will be compared. - That's right.

Right.

Fight.

The first signal song...

of QUEENDOM PUZZLE...

is "Charismatic."

- "Charismatic?" - Do we need charisma?

Hi, all 28 members.

I'm songwriter Michelle Cho.

- Look. - I worked on "Charismatic."

I worked with the hot songwriter...

Ylva Dimberg on this song.

The ethnic sound of the flute...

can be heard repeatedly throughout the song from the intro.

The song has a mystical and dreamy vibe.

I want that song.

I hope you will be able to give it character with your charisma.

I'll kill it.

- Hello. - Unbelievable.

Hello, all 28 members of QUEENDOM PUZZLE.

- It's La Chica. - La Chica.

- It's La Chica. - I don't believe it.

This is insane.

- It's La Chica. - La Chica.

- Is there a main dance move? - Yes.

- I think it's this. - "Charismatic."

- Charismatic. - Charismatic.

- Charismatic. - Charismatic.

(The choreography of "Charismatic" is revealed.)

- I like it. - I hear the flute.

I already love the dance.

I really want to do this song.

It's upbeat.

- It's very hip. - Yes, it is.

It's trendy.

- It's our style. - I like it.

We have to make it look that good.

- Right. - It won't be easy.

Let's see the second song right away.

Hi, I'm producer Ryan Jhun.

- What? - Hello.

The song is called...

"Snap."

- "Snap?" - To make it special,

Kim Ea Na put a lot of thought into writing the lyrics.

The lyrics must be good.

From the verse to the pre-hook, hook, and chorus,

the entire song is a killing part.

So take whatever part you want.

"Snap."

- He's cute. - Snap.

Snap. Let's go.

Hi, I'm choreographer Choi Young Jun.

The dance is powerful and sexy.

That's me.

This is the main dance move.

Snap, snap, snap.

- That's sexy. - Snap, snap, snap.

I will reveal the choreography right now.

Snap.

(They all snap.)

Could this be in the dance?

- Snap. - Snap.

It's so sexy.

That's crazy.

It's insane.

I want this song.

Please let me do it.

The two songs are very different.

They killed it at the last part.

Both songs are so good.

We listened to "Charismatic" and "Snap."

We will now begin choosing songs...

and start creating teams of seven.

Right away?

- What is that? - What is it?

What?

(Up Down Battle Result)

I didn't expect this.

Seriously?

Wait, I think I know what's happening.

Maybe we'll take turns putting our names next to the song we want.

- I think so. - Right?

At the Up Down Battle,

you were divided into four tiers.

Who was the member that received...

the most upvotes?

- Bora. - Bora.

- Yes, it was Bora. - Yes.

Starting with Bora,

you will take turns choosing songs.

According to our ranking?

She's lucky.

Each song can be selected by 14 people.

If all 14 slots are filled by the members in the front,

the remaining members may not be able to make a choice.

They'll have to go with the song that is left.

After the 14 members for each song are selected,

we will begin combining the teams.

There is a special area in QUEENDOM PUZZLE.

An area?

It's the Puzzle Room.

(The Puzzle Room is a special area in QUEENDOM PUZZLE.)

- That's what it is called. - Puzzle Room?

Only a few members that have the Puzzle's Power...

can enter the Puzzle Room.

- Look. - What is that?

Those who combine the teams...

can select whomever they want...

and put together...

seven members that will benefit their team.

This is why it's called QUEENDOM PUZZLE.

This is the cruelest puzzle ever.

- Who gets to choose? - The person in first place?

We didn't do the Up Down Battle for no reason.

Bora has the Puzzle's Power.

- What? - Really?

(The member in first place gets the Puzzle's Power.)

I look forward to seeing which team Bora will be part of.

For the song...

Bora doesn't choose,

the member with the highest score from the Up Down Battle...

will get the Puzzle's Power.

We will now begin...

selecting the songs for the 7-on-7 Team Battle.

(Will everyone get to select the song they want?)

First, Bora.

Yes.

You can select a song.

(All eyes are on her.)

I've made my choice.

What will number one choose?

Drumroll.

I choose...

"Charismatic?"

"Snap?"

I choose "Snap."

(Bora chooses "Snap.")

I thought she'd choose "Charismatic."

- Me too. - Right?

- That was unexpected. - I know.

She chose "Snap."

(Bora, Tier One)

For "Snap," Bora, who has the highest score,

will combine the teams.

(Bora has the Puzzle's Power for "Snap.")

We will continue selecting songs.

Yeoreum of Tier One.

I wanted to select "Snap."

After hearing about the benefit,

I was torn between avoiding Bora...

or selecting the song I want.

This must be a tough decision.

Both songs would fit her well.

What will she choose between "Charismatic" and "Snap?"

(What will Yeoreum of WJSN choose?)

I will go with "Snap."

(Yeoreum chooses "Snap.")

Yeoreum chose "Snap."

(Yeoreum chose the song she wanted to.)

Even if I give up on the benefit,

I decided to choose the song I can do better.

Bora and Yeoreum both selected "Snap."

Jiwon,

if you choose "Charismatic,"

you get the power to put together your team.

I...

(What will Jiwon of Cherry Bullet choose?)

choose "Charismatic."

(Jiwon chooses "Charismatic.")

I wanted the Puzzle's Power.

I was hoping Yeoreum would choose "Snap..."

and give me the chance to gain that power.

Jiwon chose "Charismatic."

She will be able to combine a team.

(Jiwon gets the Puzzle's Power for "Charismatic.")

Two members of Cherry Bullet...

have the Puzzle's Power. Nice.

(The members with the Puzzle's Power have been decided for both songs.)

Next is Hwiseo.

I choose "Snap."

I choose "Charismatic."

I also choose "Charismatic."

I choose "Snap."

- Kei of Tier Two. - Yes.

(Thinking)

I choose "Snap."

- "Snap?" - I'll give it a try.

Let's do this.

(Bora and Kei chose "Snap.")

She chose "Snap."

I thought we'd probably...

go for the same part.

This is so difficult.

You can combine the team,

so think it through.

Ji Han.

- I choose "Charismatic." - Okay.

I choose "Charismatic."

I choose "Snap."

I choose "Charismatic."

I choose "Charismatic."

"Charismatic."

- "Charismatic." - We all chose "Charismatic."

All four members of Weeekly chose "Charismatic."

Keep them apart.

(Keep them apart.)

No!

I'll keep them apart.

I'll keep them apart.

No!

(They are destined to be separated.)

I'm scared.

- Next. - I choose "Snap."

I choose "Charismatic."

"Charismatic."

(Yeonhee chooses "Charismatic.")

- I choose "Snap." - I choose "Snap."

I choose "Snap."

I choose "Snap."

There are only three slots left for "Snap."

What should I do?

I choose "Charismatic."

I choose "Charismatic."

I choose "Snap."

Only a couple slots are left.

"Charismatic."

"Snap."

There is only one slot left for "Snap."

(Who will take the last slot of "Snap?")

When someone takes the last slot,

the rest of the members will automatically go to "Charismatic."

- Woo Yeon. - Yes?

I thought I'd have to go to whatever was left...

and didn't give it much thought.

I choose "Charismatic."

- There is 1 slot left for each. - It's 1 each.

I didn't think I'd have to select.

According to Chaerin's decision,

- Seo Yeon will be sent somewhere. - Right.

Let's see.

I choose "Snap."

(Chaerin chooses "Snap.")

You chose "Snap."

Seo Yeon will automatically be assigned to "Charismatic."

(Seo Yeon is automatically assigned to "Charismatic.")

The song selection of the 7-on-7 Team Battle is over.

Jiwon, the member with the highest score of Team Charismatic,

and Bora, the member with the highest score of Team Snap,

will now move to the Puzzle Room.

Right away?

- Bye. - See you.

(Bora and Jiwon head to the Puzzle Room to combine teams.)

How did they both end up being members of Cherry Bullet?

(The members with the highest scores move to the Puzzle Room.)

- I haven't decided yet. - Me, neither.

I think it will be a hard decision to the very last moment.

See you.

- Let's do this. - Let's do this.

We'll be divided into two teams and be evaluated.

- How will we be divided? - I wonder how we'll be divided.

I have no idea which seven members will be on a team.

- I don't either. - It's Bora's choice.

I'll trust her.

Does this mean Jiwon is creating the teams?

We will be divided into 2 teams of 7.

- Right? - I can't believe it.

- We might be on the same team. - No.

- I'm scared. - This is scary.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

Is this it?

Team Charismatic's Puzzle Room.

I will go in.

- What's this? - Gosh.

Pick?

I haven't decided yet.

I look forward to seeing what combinations I can come up with.

I was excited.

Bora.

Bora.

The "Snap" Bora has in mind.

The "Charismatic" Jiwon has in mind.

- Create the best combination. - Create the best combination.

This is tough.

The process of the puzzle will be shown...

to the members in the studio.

What?

We will start airing.

- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - What?

- What? - Now.

(It starts airing.)

What's this?

Is it live?

- Gosh. - What's this?

- That must be the Puzzle Room. - Awesome.

Do they see me? Are they watching?

Yes, we are.

Come to think of it, they're both from the same group.

You're right.

That must be burdensome.

- I'm so nervous. - They must be nervous.

It's so much responsibility.

What is that?

- What is it? - Why?

- What is it? - What could it be?

No.

- Why? - What is it?

I'll cover it up again.

Why? I'm so curious about what it is.

Why?

Why did she do that?

- Drop? - Drop?

- Why does it say "drop?" - What does it mean?

Is someone being dropped?

It's divided into "pick" and "drop."

(Team Pick VS Team Drop, The winners gain 10,000 points.)

Those I will pick and those I will not pick.

Those I didn't pick and got dropped?

Cards with our faces are all there.

(The members' cards are lined up in each Puzzle Room.)

No.

It looks like we're asking to be picked.

It says "drop," but it just means...

- we're on a different team. - You're right.

- That's right. - Right.

(We will now begin Round 1 of the puzzle for "Charismatic.")

(We will now begin the puzzle for "Charismatic.")

Do they know we're watching?

- That could be harder for her. - I'm sure it's more burdensome.

This is interesting.

The member I will pick first is...

Jiwon.

I pick Jiwon first.

(The first member she picks is Jiwon.)

She's making it interesting.

She knows how to make it interesting.

I have to choose the member to drop now.

It's one at a time.

One at a time? I can't watch this.

I want to be chosen later even if I'm dropped.

I want to be dropped later.

The first member I will drop is...

- I can't watch this. - I'm so nervous.

My heart is racing.

I'm sorry, Suyun.

I'm sorry, Suyun.

(The first member she drops is Suyun.)

I wanted to perform with the other members.

The second member I will pick is...

Nana.

(The second member she picks is Nana.)

I was impressed at the Up Down Battle yesterday.

(Nana performed "Move" by TAEMIN at the Up Down Battle.)

She is good at both singing and dancing.

I wanted a chance to perform with her,

so I will use this opportunity to do just that.

I hope we can make this work.

The second member I will drop is...

I think it's me.

- I think it will be me. - I think it's me.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - It must be me.

It's Haein.

(The second member she drops is Haein.)

It's okay.

The third member I will pick is...

someone I think will be of great help...

when we practice the dance.

It's Chae Yeon.

It's Chae Yeon.

(The third member she picks is Chae Yeon.)

The third member I will drop is...

a member of tripleS.

A member of tripleS.

It is Seo Yeon.

(The third member she drops is Seo Yeon.)

The fourth member I will pick is...

Ji Woo of tripleS.

(The fourth member she picks is Ji Woo.)

She put on a very charismatic stage yesterday.

She transforms when she's on stage.

I could see her charm that takes control of the stage.

That is why I chose Ji Woo.

(Seo Yeon and Ji Woo feel different as 1 is picked and 1 is dropped.)

The fourth member I will drop is...

(Only Woo Yeon and JooE are left out of the Tier 4 members.)

(Who will she choose to drop next?)

JooE.

(The fourth member she drops is JooE.)

The fifth member I will pick is...

someone out of the four Weeekly members here.

I'm sorry, but I will have to separate you.

(4 Weeekly members chose "Charismatic.")

Keep them apart.

I'll keep them apart.

No!

The fifth member I will pick is...

So Eun.

(The fifth member she picks is So Eun.)

After watching yesterday's performance,

her unique voice is imprinted in my mind.

I believe it will go well with "Charismatic."

The fifth member I will drop is...

from Weeekly.

It's Soo Jin.

(The fifth member she drops is Soo Jin.)

And...

the sixth member I will drop is...

ZOA from Weeekly.

(The sixth member she drops is ZOA.)

(Unlike So Eun, ZOA and Soo Jin are dropped.)

The sixth member I will pick is...

(There are only 2 vacancies left.)

(One of them will be dropped.)

It's Woo Yeon from woo!ah!

(The sixth member she picks is Woo Yeon.)

I was impressed that she had the courage to perform...

Taeyeon's song in front of her.

I think we need that courage.

That's why I chose her.

The last member I will pick...

for this puzzle is...

(Only one of them will get picked.)

We had a special performance.

She's just so adorable.

I want to keep her by my side.

I thought so every now and then.

(The three of them performed a Christmas special together.)

(Which one of them resonated with Jiwon?)

I loved her voice during that performance,

and I still feel the same way.

The last member I will pick...

for this puzzle is...

The last thing I wanted was to be dropped.

"What if I don't get chosen?"

It's...

(It's...)

(Meanwhile at Team Snap's Puzzle Room...)

(We will now begin "Snap's" puzzle.)

- I wonder whom she'll pick. - I wonder whom she'll pick.

Whom will she choose?

I wonder what's going through her mind.

If Bora doesn't pick me,

I'd feel...

upset, but I can still do well.

Me too,

but she needs to choose her team wisely.

Gosh, Jiwon.

It's a burden to come first place.

The first member I will pick is...

"Bora."

Ye Eun.

(The first member she picks is Ye Eun.)

I didn't expect her to pick me.

I think she'll suit the song well.

I agree.

She's talented at singing, dancing,

and rapping. That's why I picked her.

Thank you.

The member I'll drop...

I might as well...

(I might as well...)

(Chaerin?)

Chaerin?

I'd feel less sorry.

The first member I will drop is...

What do I do?

Elly.

(The first member she drops is Elly.)

What I want is sophistication, pureness,

and sexiness.

But she was a bit far from them.

Oh, no.

This is hard.

The second member I will drop is...

So this is how it works.

Miru.

(The second member she drops is Miru.)

(Two members from Tier Four have been dropped.)

Oh, no.

The second member I will pick is...

someone who impressed me with their performance yesterday.

And I have high hopes that she'll perform "Snap" well.

That's why I've picked Yeoreum.

(The second member she picks is Yeoreum.)

Thank you.

Why is this...

so fun to watch?

Isn't it entertaining to see whom they pick?

(Kei, Tier 2)

- They're the same tiers. - Right.

(Riina, Tier 3)

(Tiers 1 and 4 have different results.)

The third member I will drop is...

She must be hesitant about this one.

Do Hwa.

Do Hwa.

(Surprised)

I knew it. Let's do well.

I knew it. Let's do well.

Let's do well.

(The third member she drops is Do Hwa.)

The third member I will pick is...

Sang Ah.

(The third member she picks is Sang Ah.)

She's such a great rapper.

I have so much respect for her. That's why I chose her.

The rapping part...

- for "Snap" is crucial. - I agree.

(When the song was revealed...)

The rap part is insane.

- It really looks cool. - Right.

The rap part is important.

She must've strategized it.

- Aren't many of you rappers? - Yes, quite a bit.

Really? Who are they?

Ye Eun.

(Sang Ah, Yuki, and Ye Eun mostly rapped.)

I see.

I think she made sure she got the rappers...

for the song.

I agree.

(Two out of three of them are rappers.)

I hope she divides the positions well.

What?

The rap part is important for "Snap,"

so I pick Yuki.

Thank you.

We need to win.

I have a J in my MBTI.

So I planned beforehand.

(On their way to the Puzzle Room)

Which rappers?

Sang ah, Ye Eun, and Yuki.

It's brutal,

but I decided...

to pick all the rappers.

The vocalists will have to rap on the other team.

Oh, no.

I might not get picked.

I wish I got picked.

The fourth member I will drop is...

Kei.

(The fourth member she drops is Kei.)

I expected it.

Two main vocalists couldn't be on the same team.

I thought it'd be better for the two main vocalists...

to split into different teams and receive the spotlight.

(Both teams are almost set.)

The fifth member I will drop is...

"Rose Blossom."

"Rose Blossom."

- She picked up both at once. - What?

(A rose blossoming among the concrete)

A rose blossoming among the concrete

They were both so energetic.

The most important factor...

in deciding on my team was the balance of it all.

If too many strong vocalists join my team,

I don't think I'll stand out.

(I don't think I'll stand out.)

Okay.

(Will she drop Riina?)

(Or will she drop Hwiseo?)

(The fifth member she drops is Hwiseo.)

And...

I'd like to perform with Riina.

Riina.

(One of them is picked while the other has been dropped.)

The sixth member I will drop is...

Fye.

(The sixth member she drops is Fye.)

She has very distinct characteristics,

so I thought that wouldn't do our team good.

I didn't think any of the members...

should stand out during the performance.

(Three members from Tiers 1 and 2 are dropped.)

There are two members left.

Right.

The member I will pick is...

She's going to pick and drop at once?

Chaerin from Cherry Bullet.

Juri from Rocket Punch.

I didn't feel good at all.

Not one bit.

She's in such a big dilemma.

To be honest, Chaerin had a hiccup...

on stage.

It was such a shame...

that she couldn't do as well as she wanted.

But since we've known each other for years now,

I will pick her.

(The last member she drops is Juri.)

(Ye Eun, Yeoreum, Sang Ah, Yuki, Bora, Riina, Chaerin)

(Elly, Miru, Do Hwa, Kei, Hwiseo, Fye, Juri)

I have trust in the members I picked.

(The puzzle for SNAP is complete.)

- "The puzzle for Charismatic..." - "The puzzle for SNAP..."

- "is complete." - "is complete."

"The top members may practice with her puzzle members."

Okay.

(Jiwon and Bora complete their puzzles.)

(Team Snap is quiet.)

Now that we're split into teams,

I can't think of anything to talk about.

I'm having a hard time...

- chatting comfortably right now. - Me too.

We'll either win or lose.

Are you guys split up?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Right, you are. - Right.

What do we do?

What do we do?

I didn't expect Hwiseo to join...

Team Drop.

- Why are you crying? - What's wrong?

- Don't cry. - Don't cry.

It's okay.

What's the matter?

Do you have tissues?

I'm okay.

I cried...

because I was a bit upset.

I thought I would be a member anyone would want on their team.

So it broke my heart to realize...

that I wasn't Bora's pick.

I think she dropped Hwiseo...

because she was looking at the overall balance of the team.

Let's ask for a benefit.

- No, I don't need it. - Really?

Are you sure?

I don't need it.

I'm too exhausted.

I had a feeling Jiwon...

would put us together.

The last member I will pick is...

Ji Han.

(The last member she picks is Ji Han.)

The last member I will drop is Yeonhee.

(The last member she drops is Yeonhee.)

That's why I didn't know which song to pick.

I didn't think I'd get picked if I chose "Charismatic."

But if I chose Bora's team,

I thought I could use my character to stay there.

I thought long and hard about the last member.

I pick Chaerin.

(Juri is dropped from Team Snap.)

(All 3 Rocket Punch members have been dropped.)

The word "drop..."

has a negative connotation.

I'll be honest.

I was a bit intimidated.

But what's the point of feeling like that...

when I need to continue?

So I decided to make this work.

(Thinking)

"So you didn't pick me?"

"You wait and see."

(Jiwon, Nana, Chae Yeon, Ji Woo, So Eun, Woo Yeon, Ji Han)

(Suyun, Haein, Seo Yeon, JooE, Soo Jin, ZOA, Yeonhee)

Please begin your puzzle now.

(Please begin your puzzle now.)

(Next Episode)

(After the first puzzle,)

(Team Pick starts off on a good note.)

- Let's do well. - Let's do well.

- We can do this. - We can do this.

I looked at the choreography.

Have you planned everything already?

Tell me if you don't like it.

(Chae Yeon has planned everything out.)

Chae Yeon helped us out a lot.

I have bad news.

Chae Yeon has dropped out of this show.

So...

Who will replace Chae Yeon here?

Which way should I go?

- Which way? - Or how about...

This isn't looking...

too hopeful right now because...

(Will Team Pick be able to perform successfully?)

So I decided to make this work.

But what's the point of feeling like that...

when I need to continue?

I want to surprise them.

We were all dropped.

"So you didn't pick me?"

"You wait and see."

Team Drop...

will never lose.

The members of Team Charismatic stand out on their own...

but not as a team. We're more like a team.

Do Hwa is good.

Team Drop did much better...

than I thought they would.

(Team Pick makes a mistake while filming.)

What do I do?

A problem occurred.

So I was shocked.

I'm very worried.
