This is I-LAND.

Welcome, all 24 contestants.

There's only one way to get to I-LAND.

The entrance test starts now.

(The entrance test finally started)

(With unlimited possibilities and unpredictable variety)

(The 24 contestants showed off various charms)

Don't forget,

I-LAND can take only 12 people.

There are 16 people here right now.

The self-voting will start to bring down the number to 12 people.

The last I-LANDER.

Son Juwon.

That's all 12 people.

The dropouts must move to the GROUND.

I wanted to go to I-LAND as soon as possible.

They better be nervous.

(Storyteller, Song Kang)

Last week, the 24 contestants were unveiled

and their new journey has started.

I-LAND 2 N/a will be in two parts.

The tests in part 1 will...

determine their fates in teams and focus on teamwork.

Instead of individual scores,

team scores will determine who will be released.

According to the producers and I-LANDERS decisions,

their fates will be determined.

The highlight of part 1 will be the last stage,

the battle to enter part 2.

According to decisions made by the producers and I-MATES from all over the world,

the 12 who will move on to the next stage will be determined.

All the battles in part 2 will be individual battles

and it will kick off the ranking battle.

According to the producers and I-MATES' decisions,

the final debut group will be born.

Producer Teddy, who created BIGBANG, 2NE1, and BLACKPINK.

will be in charge of producing.

I-LAND 2 N/a.

Here are the stories of the contestants whose fates will be decided as teams.

(D-2 of co-living in I-LAND)

Daebak! Pasta.

I'm hungry!

Wow, here's more.

(The breakfast is making them clap like seals)

I can't believe this.

Don't cry.

I want to keep staying in I-LAND.

I don't ever want to leave.

Cherry. Cherry.

I ate 12 cherries.

It's a survival program.

I wasn't sure if I should be this happy. I was moved.

Looks tasty.

Gosh. Use this, Unni.

Thank you.

There was rice and pasta. There were many kinds.

So, I made sure to try everything.

Is it tasty?

You did so great yesterday, Gyuri.

Really? I'm glad. I thought I did really poorly.

No, you were totally an idol.

Us, "After Like" got ALL I.

It felt like all our efforts were acknowledged.

I'm so happy.

Unni, this is tasty.

I've never tried this before.

It's so good.

It feels so healthy.

It's so refreshing.

Everyone chose peach, but only you and I chose lemon.

We're so in sync.

(Two-hands skill)

I haven't seen her that happy lately.

- I want to stay here. - We should.

- We should. - We should.

- Let's keep it going. - Stay. Stay.

It'll be so upset to go to GROUND.

I wonder what the GROUNDERS are up to.

(GROUND)

(GROUNDERS are entering with deep sighs)

Gosh, here we are.

(Coming in at 10:00 a.m.)

(Name tags for GROUND members on the table)

We came to GROUND after being in I-LAND.

I think I was very upset.

Huh? What's this?

It changed to "G."

What's this?

(Their name tags changed to the depressing GROUND name tags)

It was frustrating, but I can go back up since I'll work the hardest.

There must be a mission, right?

- We can go back, right? - I think we can.

I was upset.

I want to do better than the I-LANDERS.

Gather around if you want to play "Red Light, Green Light."

Ya-ho! Come!

They were playing a game as soon as they arrived.

I'm worried because I need to go to I-LAND.

Everyone, this is the line. This is the line.

- Yuju, Yuju. - Yes?

They want you, Yuju.

What are you doing? Are you studying?

No, no. I didn't get to journal yesterday.

You journal, too?

How cool.

All I thought about was escaping by working hard.

(I-LAND)

(I-LANDERS are heading to their rooms)

There's something here.

(Cotton Candy Room)

Who put these here?

Hi, I'm your friend, NaSURI.

I prepared welcome gifts.

I hope we work together well.

- Let's open these together. - Let's open it.

One, two, three!

Gosh! It's so cute.

Wow, it's so cute.

- Is it a training outfit? - Yes.

- It's pretty. - It is.

So pretty. Wow.

I love it.

Do only I-LANDERS get these, too?

This is way more amazing than I thought.

- Does everyone have something to brag about? - Juwon.

What's that?

(She's the one from "Unforgiven." She is.)

(She could easily join a hiking club)

How cool. I should've brought something like those, too.

Do you want a pair, too?

- You should... - How many did you bring? I want a pair, too.

Something kind of hip? These are hip.

By the way, I have these, too.

- I like them. - So cute.

I think I should go on a trip.

I should've brought four.

We'd probably live about a week together, right?

But I don't know. I don't know when we'll have other missions.

Maybe as soon as tomorrow?

That means we might leave this place tomorrow.

I'm scared.

I'm not sure.

The other side...

Huh? What?

30 minutes? What's that?

We're 30 minutes ahead of revealing the next test.

- Wow. - I'm scared. What do I do?

The happiness is over.

What time is it now? How much time do we have left?

- We're five minutes ahead of revealing the next test. - Oh, my gosh.

Five minutes?

We're one minute ahead.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.

- I didn't get to put on shoes. - So busy. So busy.

(The 12 I-LANDERS gathered)

We look so I-LANDERS right now.

Right? Daebak.

- It's so pretty. - Gosh.

It says zero seconds.

- Are we all here? - Yes, we are.

- My goodness. - What will it be?

I'm curious. What is it?

You're a group bound with fate.

- What do we do? - Group.

In future tests, your fate will be determined by team scores.

It's team battles.

I thought we should help each other instead of competing against each other.

Starting now, I-LAND 2 N/a's first test that will

determine the teams' fate will start.

I'm so nervous.

(GROUND)

(A system message arrived at GROUND, too)

- Here it is. - I'm curious.

Starting now, the first test will be revealed.

- What do we do? - What will be the first test?

(Signal Song produced by THEBLACKLABEL)

(Signal Song produced by THEBLACKLABEL)

(Teddy participated in writing the Signal Song)

Daebak.

- Teddy wrote this for us? - It was an honor.

I thought I should do really well.

"Final Love Song"?

- Is that the title? "Final Love Song."

I should keep my ears open and listen.

I can't wait to listen.

("Final Love Song" - Comparing love to I-LAND contestants' pursuit of their dream)

It felt grandiose.

I liked the shoe part.

(The center starts with the shoelace performance)

I thought it was really cool in the beginning.

The moment I saw it, I thought, "That's my part."

Gosh, I love it.

My goodness.

There were a lot of dance moves only the main dancer could do.

(Part 10 includes a solo performance)

It was a part where you could sing and dance solo.

I wanted to try it.

Everyone loves it.

My heart felt full when the song ended.

It was a touching song.

My gosh.

- What do we do? - I love it.

That was so cool.

(Yoon Jiyoon is suddenly crying)

You're crying because you're happy, right?

I loved it so much.

It's our first song and...

I thought I seized such a great opportunity.

- It's our song from now on. - My gosh.

In the Signal Song Test,

team scores will determine who will be eliminated.

The team scores will be the average score of the 12 I-LANDERS' individual scores.

It was very important for individuals to do well.

I thought I should work hard and not hurt my team.

Can no one get eliminated?

(Signal Song elimination guideline)

Wow.

Six people get eliminated if it's below 70 points?

One person gets eliminated even at 95 points.

It will drop the moment one or two people get scores in the 80s.

The team's score needs to be high

to get fewer people eliminated.

I hope I get 96 points.

My goal is to not get anyone eliminated.

We need to do really well.

I hope no one leaves.

(GROUND)

In this test, the entire 12 GROUNDERS will be on stage together.

I'm glad we can be on stage, at least.

But you get to be on stage only when an I-LANDER gets eliminated.

And the producers will determine who will replace them.

- This is driving me crazy. - What do we do?

It'd unlikely be me out of everyone,

but I think I can join if about four people get eliminated.

I suddenly feel awake.

(Signal Song parts were revealed)

Gosh, these are the parts.

- Center? - The main vocalist.

Main dancer.

- One each starting part 4. - Starting part 4?

The center part, main vocalist, and main dancer.

(Center, main vocal, and main dancer get bulk of the song)

The center is daebak.

Parts 1, 2, and 3 had bigger portions than others.

- It's the final love song. - I need to be the center.

I have to be the main dancer.

The part distribution for the Signal Song...

will be done by one person.

- Even if you want certain part, it's up to that person? - It's up to that person?

- One of us? - Come on, stop joking around.

I got the chills.

And it will be the leader of I-LANDER.

We need to choose the leader.

This is so daebak.

The leader would be so nice... so important.

- Very important. - So important.

What do we do?

I wanted to be the leader.

- That will make you the No. 1 here. - Totally the No. 1.

I don't know who it will be,

but you get all the power and decide everything.

I felt nervous.

We need to choose carefully.

I'll announce the leader of I-LAND.

I'll announce the leader of I-LAND.

It wasn't up to us?

The I-LAND leader for the Signal Song Test is...

- Who will it be? - The leader is?

The I-LANDER, who was in first place in the entrance test.

It's Choi Jungeun.

It's Choi Jungeun.

It is fair that the one who showcases the most breadth gets first place.

I'm in your care.

I'm in your care.

Everything is up to Jungeun.

I'll do a good job. I'll do my best for the team.

I was in first place and became the leader, too.

Good things keep happening to me.

I thought I should do better for that reason.

- So cool. - Jungeun will be a trustworthy leader.

I was jealous because she got a lot of privileges.

We'll be sure to listen to you.

I want to be the main dancer.

I want to be the main vocalist.

I want to do part 2.

I want to prove myself with the vocal part.

I want to be the center.

But as the center...

(Focused)

I thought of Juwon.

Me? Really?

I thought it'd suit you very well.

Really? I love it.

And I thought of Sujung as the main dancer.

- No, seriously. - That, too and...

What a relief.

Which part do you want?

Yes, Jungeun. You should choose your part, too.

Don't try to be loyal to us.

It's your privilege. Choose what you want.

Choose what you want.

I think the main vocalists would suit you.

I did want to be the main vocalist, but...

I need to think about it more.

The Signal Song parts will be distributed after an hour.

I'd like to give the center and main dancer parts

to Juwon and Sujung for sure.

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

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

I haven't gotten to convince her yet

and I didn't get a chance to speak,

but she said she wanted to go with them. So my heart sank.

I think I started worrying since then.

I can do this song well.

- Okay. - This really is my song.

I'm confident I can do well.

I was given a song that suited me.

She'll give it to me if she thinks it suits me, right?

(The two are looking at the leader, Choi Jungeun, from a distance)

- It's nerve-wracking. - I don't think I could get a good part.

I was a bit disappointed.

The song was totally the opposite of my vibe.

I did a lot of bright, feminine, and pretty songs.

I wanted to get a good part,

but I might not be able to. I was a bit worried.

I love the song so much.

The bridge has the highest pitch. The main vocalist part.

(The main vocalist part has the widest range of pitches)

It didn't sound too high-pitched when I listened to it.

I can do up to Re #.

You can do up to Re #?

For the most important parts, the center, main vocalist, and main dancer,

I wanted to pick the best ones based on the position.

I'm so worried because I can't tell what the leader's thinking.

(GROUND)

I think we should choose the leader first.

Who wants to be the leader?

Starting now, through a group meeting,

choose the GROUND's leader and distribute parts.

I have someone I want to recommend.

I have someone to recommend, too.

- I recommend Yuju. - Me, too.

Me, too.

What? Me?

You've been on survival programs before, too.

- You speak Japanese a bit, too. - Yes, that's great.

(She can communicate with the Japanese contestants, too)

(Nam Yuju became GROUND's leader with everyone's recommendation)

It's a huge responsibility and burden.

My shoulders feel so heavy.

(GROUND is making everyone sing to distribute parts)

I thought the center could ground everything.

(GROUND's Signal Song center, Nam Yuju)

(GROUND's Signal Song main vocalist Um Jiwon)

The main dancer will be Kim Minsol.

Now for part 7.

Please raise your hands.

(Lingling is singing the Signal Song first)

(Nice)

(Kim Chaeeun is trying the part next)

(She predicted her defeat from the beginning)

Can I try kicking once?

Do it! Do it!

(Part 7 has a kicking dance move)

(Kim Chaeeun is proving herself by kicking)

(This is a ballerina's kick)

(Daebak)

It's somewhere between taekwondo and ballet.

I was very torn.

First of all, Chaeeun.

(Kim Chaeeun for part 7)

Since the part requires kicking,

I thought Chaeeun could pull off that part.

Since I got the part I wanted,

I'll be sure to do my best.

(It's almost time to distribute the parts)

I'm in the room!

I'm in the room!

(I-LAND living room on the second floor)

I need to pitch myself.

What do I do? I'm most worried about myself.

You should put yourself first.

(Yoon Jiyoon and Ryu Sarang are heading to Jungeun's room)

- They're here to visit. - There she is.

Can we be in here while she's thinking?

What should we do?

Do you prefer to think alone and regroup later

or us coming to you to pitch?

I'll be thinking to myself while you're pitching, too.

So it's okay if you stay here.

- Is it really okay? - I'll be taking notes while you talk.

Okay.

It felt like pitching myself to the leader was my last opportunity.

What I wanted to do was...

I'd like to pitch myself.

Dance and facial expressions are important, too, but

voice isn't something you can just create.

Dance? Dance? Facial expressions?

Dance? Facial expressions?

No, the vocalist part.

You weren't listening.

Please talk a bit louder.

- Please say it again. - For the voice...

I tried talking to her again while she was thinking.

She looked busy and full of thoughts.

I'd appreciate it if you consider me.

I'd like to say something, too.

I have various tones.

Got it.

I don't have a lot of time. I won't hear pitches anymore.

"Juwon should be the center."

She seemed to be thinking that. So I felt anxious.

I have my hopes up, but I'm not sure.

What do I do?

I keep feeling anxious.

(Choi Jungeun is torn about the center part)

There are only six minutes left.

I need to go to someone.

Jeemin!

Me?

Jeemin.

Are you good at singing in high pitches?

Saebi, are you good at singing in high pitches?

I am. I'm good at part 10.

Can you sing in high pitches well?

I can do part 10 well.

Part 10 has high pitches, too.

- Can you sing in high pitches well? - Yes.

Five minutes before the part distribution.

- Part 10. - Okay.

She's pitching really hard.

Gyuri, can you sing high pitches well?

Really high-pitched notes are better than a little high-pitched ones.

Please don't come to me.

- I won't come to you. - Social distancing.

One minute before the part distribution.

(Leader is feeling impatient as the moment of decision approaches)

She's shaking in anxiety.

- Oh, my God. - Everyone, come gather around.

Three, two, one.

(Countdown finished)

Leader, please go to the decision room and

choose the 12 I-LANDERS' parts.

Bye.

There were difficult parts to choose, too.

I'm nervous.

Help me.

So, I thought a lot before I voted.

(The decision room)

(Singal song test - Choose the 12 I-LANDERS' parts)

(Entrance test producer scores)

She's so pretty.

(How did the leader, Choi Jeongeun, distribute parts?)

I think it'll be cool no matter what.

Everyone has to do a good job.

Individual performance is very important.

I wonder how she distributed parts.

I'm curious how she did it.

I'm curious about which part Jungeun chose.

I wonder which part she'd take.

Here she comes.

You're back.

How do you think it went?

It changed a bit in the end.

I'm even more confused now.

The 12 I-LANDERS' Signal Song parts decided by the leader will be revealed now.

My gosh.

(The Signal Song parts are finally being revealed)

I don't think I can watch it.

I'm so nervous.

The main vocalist.

Jungeun, I think you'd make a good main vocalist.

It'd suit her well.

I did want to be the main vocalist, but...

(Yoon Jiyoon wanted the main vocalist part)

I think I can make it shine.

The main vocalist.

Yoon Jiyoon.

It suits her.

(Fuko didn't get the main vocalist part)

I thought Jiyoon's impactful voice was perfect.

I couldn't think of anything but her.

The main dancer chosen by the leader.

And I thought of Sujung as the main dancer.

She's such a good dancer.

(She considered being the main dancer, too)

I'm torn between the vocalist and the dancer.

The main dancer.

Kim Sujung.

(I-LAND Signal Song main dancer, Kim Sujung)

She's definitely the best dancer.

Sujung was the only one I was totally

impressed with during the entrance test.

I thought it'd be good if Sujung made it impactful.

The center chosen by the leader.

As the center, I thought of Juwon.

Me? Really?

I think the center's vocal tone suits me well.

I'd like to pitch myself.

Voice isn't something you can create by practicing.

Both the singing and dancing are important for the center part.

I tried to pick someone who's good at both.

The center chosen by the leader.

Choi Jungeun.

(Choi Jungeun chose herself as the center)

What? Really?

It changed. It changed.

Does anyone want to hear the reason?

I do. I'm curious.

I'm sorry, Unni.

I brought you up from the beginning.

Since this will be the first performance in front of the public,

I have to make a good impression.

But since the center starts and finishes the song,

I thought it was a very important part.

So, I wanted to be the center.

I think I would've done the same.

I accepted it.

(Son Juwon got part 9)

Yes, I can understand.

I'll do my best for the given part

and be sure to do a good job.

I think I was more disappointed.

The test will take place seven days later.

Seriously.

(GROUND)

Push a little bit like this in the "love" part.

In the "song" part, look down,

rotate, and look behind in that moment.

I thought the contestants in GROUND were

a bit slow to learn the choreography.

So I was very worried.

(GROUNDERS are having difficulty learning the choreography)

(Shaking)

(Rushing)

It's so hard. I'm sorry.

One might think a week is long,

but it's shorter than you think.

So I'm a bit worried.

(I-LAND)

(I-LANDERS are making good progress in two teams)

Everyone's good at learning the choreography.

Since there are a lot of good people here,

we were moving on very quickly.

Wow, so cool.

(Perfectly in sync)

- So cool. - So cool.

- We're done. - So are we.

(GROUNDERS took all day to practice)

(but I-LANDERS learned the same parts in 30 minutes)

- 30 minutes? - 30 minutes.

The atmosphere is really great.

Since everyone is good,

I thought we could do a good job.

- The first day of practice is done. - Done.

(Jeemin and Saebi's selfie)

- Hi. - Hello.

- We're Jeemin and... - Saebi.

(Earlier in the morning)

- You're so pretty, Unni. - You're prettier.

- I'm surprised whenever I see you. - Me, too.

She's like a giant baby.

- You're so long. - So are you. You're 173 cm, right?

I'm 172. I'm the same height as you.

I was 172.5 before I came here.

Me, too. Me, too.

(We're a match made in heaven)

We just had dinner and...

- I got a little sad. - I tried not to eat, but...

- the food is so good here. - It was so good.

(Jeemin's cam)

- I could eat three bowlfuls if I wanted to. - Me, too.

(I-LANDERS are wrapping up the day individually)

(I-LAND's hot place, the photobooth)

(Remembering the first day of practicing)

(Time to sleep)

By the way, Unni,

why do I feel so scared?

- I'm so scared. - Let's not be scared.

You mean competing?

I feel the same.

I know you have to be fearless,

but that is so hard, isn't it?

I get so scared by every little thing.

Me, too. I think I'm similar to you.

When I did this last time,

I was even scared to volunteer for parts.

I felt like I couldn't do it.

I thought I'd hurt other people by volunteering.

But you can't keep worrying, either.

But you need to keep at it to improve. It'd be okay.

But I'm sure we're not the only ones.

Everyone must feel the same.

We still did a good job today.

So let tomorrow's you worry about tomorrow.

I think that's a great mindset.

(Cheer up, Saebi)

(I-LAND's going deeper into the night comforting each other)

I'll film us live in the front.

Okay.

(GROUNDERS are more in sync under Nam Yuju's command)

(I-LAND)

(I-LANDERS are practicing hard as well)

(The 12 I-LANDERS are doing their best to stay in I-LAND)

Should we check?

(NaSURI prepared surprise gifts for hardworking I-LANDERS!)

What's this? What's this?

- There's so much in here. - Thank you, NaSURI.

Thank you.

I've always wanted this. This moisturizer.

Wow, this has a massager attached.

(I want to look good on stage)

Does it make your face slender?

(Rolling hard)

We need to take care of ourselves now.

I think I'd be doing this every morning.

(I love it)

It feels tighter.

(There are gifts!)

What's this? Can we open them?

Thank you!

This is the best.

(They're practicing after opening the surprise gifts)

Can we try the lifting part once?

(A difficult move where they lift up the main vocalist)

We can only do two out of 10.

It'd better to hold securely.

Our arms are too high up, apparently.

- Lower them. - It needs to be that low...

so I could sit securely like this.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

(GROUNDERS are still unstable)

None of the moves were going well.

You should tell me you're lifting. You can't just suddenly do it.

The three of us aren't that strong.

I thought we were in trouble since the timing wasn't working out.

You need to hold tight. We're dead if one of us goes down.

(GROUNDERS are still not strong enough)

Guys!

I was trying to go up.

I'm weak and have no muscles, either.

(Lifting easily)

(We have faith in you)

(It works)

(Moving up and down easily)

(GROUND)

(Shaky)

(Desperately trying)

(Keep making mistakes due to the difficult moves)

(Tired)

We need good teamwork and strength, too.

Since the choreography is difficult,

I thought it might be challenging, but...

(Starting the live practice from the top)

(Um Jiwon isn't in sync)

- Jiwon, move forward. - Even more?

(All over the place)

(Not in sync) (Off the beat GROUNDERS)

(Her voice is shaking in anxiety)

We fell apart during the live practice.

(Guys...)

It's nice to be bubbly,

but I wish they focus when they have to.

But it's 80% out of control right now.

We should watch the details and keep repeating them.

(Double buns?)

(Pretend like she's pulling hair)

She has no hair to pull.

(Serious)

(I-LANDERS are getting more in sync)

What? What's this?

What? It's scary.

(META BALL suddenly turned red)

- Everything melted and started glitching. - It was like a jelly hell.

What? What will happen now?

Are we seeing the GROUND contestants?

It feels like I-LAND is disappearing.

It's coming back, guys.

- Hello. - Who's that?

- Who is it? - Hello.

Please board the META BALL.

It's scary.

What? Why?

I don't think it'd be a good thing.

I think we'll be on stage.

The midpoint check will start now.

It's not good. Not good at all.

It doesn't feel very complete.

I think it was a disaster.

Why do you think that is, Leader?

(The 12 I-LANDERS are redistributing the parts afterward)

Since this is a mission as a team...

(How will the parts end up being distributed?)

So the 12 people can stay in I-LAND...

It's scary.

I hope it doesn't stop on the stage.

But this only leads to the stage.

I know. It can only be the stage.

Don't stop. Don't stop here.

(META BALL opened on the stage)

Really? Really?

Are we really performing?

(Silhouettes of four people are waiting for I-LANDERS)

(Who could they be?)

Are we really going?

Hello.

(The producers were waiting for the I-LANDERS)

We saw them in person after only seeing them on screen.

I realized we have to dance and sing in front of the producers.

Just like this?

This is how survival shows are.

Is Jungeun the leader?

How's the practice going?

The choreography is intense, but the song is hard, too.

So it was a bit hard to do both live.

I got tired when I tried the choreography, too.

So I'm sure it was hard.

But I believe you practiced hard.

I'll be looking forward to it.

I thought we should do a good job since it's the first midpoint check.

Are you all ready?

Yes.

(I-LANDERS are full of nervousness)

We're very looking forward to it, everyone.

(It's important to be in sync in the tutting part)

(They failed to make the spacing symmetrical)

This isn't right.

(Main vocalist, Yoon Jiyoon, missed her beat again)

(Midpoint check has concluded on a disappointing note)

I was worried.

It was not great. Really not great.

Really, really not great.

Why do you think this is the case? Leader?

I felt like something seriously went wrong.

I danced as if I was one of you,

when I was doing the Signal choreography.

As if I was the one about to debut.

I didn't feel how much you wanted this.

When I dance, when my movements are faster than the music,

it's a disaster.

In Gyuri's part.

(The fifth part with synchronized tutting choreography)

That dance must be right on the beat.

You need to push the music forward.

The performance was incomplete.

The distribution of parts didn't match your strengths.

Jiyoon, your vocals are characteristic and great.

But your vocal quality would be better

in select phrases as opposed to throughout the song.

Jungeun's voice is better suited to lead the song.

Think objectively.

If someone else can sing a part better,

for the sake of the team's effectiveness and performance quality,

you can make changes.

I felt bad for my friends.

If only I had distributed the parts better...

Let's discuss the parts.

Jungeun needs to decide how to distribute the parts.

Let's try who will sing the main vocal.

(Choi Jungeun sings the main vocal part as the producers suggested)

(Nice)

What do you think?

Sounds like a good match.

I think you should sing the main vocal.

What about the central vocal?

If I become the main vocal,

I think Jimin should take on the center vocal.

- I think Sarang. - Juwon would be good for the center.

If Jungeun becomes the main vocal,

I'd like to become the center.

(I-LANDERS debating the center part)

(Who will become the I-LAND center?)

Let's destroy it!

Let's crush it!

(GROUNDERS moving to I-STAGE for midpoint check)

So weird. We've never left.

Let's go to the META BALL!

Next week, we'll be at I-LAND.

Long time no ride.

We haven't been on a stage in a long time.

Fighting.

Hello.

Step down.

- Please step down. - You're all dressed in black.

Don't be nervous.

Don't be nervous.

I'm so nervous.

Hello.

Hello.

How's it going?

- Good. - Good.

They're cheery.

Since they're not nervous.

(GROUND: Before the midpoint check)

(GROUNDERS clustered together instead of moving into formation)

Their attitudes are so passive.

I start from here.

Afterward, go all the way downstage.

- Yuju is orchestrating. - Like a leader.

I bet Yuju's an extraordinary leader.

Come closer a little.

We start from here.

Five, four, three, two, one.

(Nam Yuju opens the Signal Song in center position with fierce eyes)

(GROUNDERS looking stable)

(Unstable vocals)

(Producers look cold)

So many of you lack confidence when you sing.

Where does confidence come from?

- Practice. - Right, practice.

Your best does not come across as the best.

These were people who dragged down the performance.

In my opinion.

Kim Chaeeun. Park Yeeun.

Lingling. Kim Eunchae.

Kang Jiwon.

You were a black hole.

Your skills are worthy of being ignored.

Your mindset led to this performance.

The only survivor is Yuju, in my opinion.

Yuju's desperation drove the performance.

What I mean by that is the leader did well, but not the team.

Even during the rehearsal,

no one went to their positions trying to go into formation.

(GROUNDERS blanking out before the performance)

Their attitudes are so passive.

I bet Yuju's an extraordinary leader.

You did well, Yuju.

I hadn't thought of how Yuju must've felt.

I had the chance to consider her.

I felt the worst for Yuju.

I know it must be hard to be a leader.

I don't think I helped. I feel bad.

I was grateful for everything.

I have so much to learn,

but Yuju trusted and taught me.

I better step it up.

I felt my limit as the sole leader.

I felt like my efforts weren't enough.

I was lost on what to do

when she gave her note, which made me cry harder.

I felt relieved that

my efforts came through.

Good work on the midpoint check.

Good work.

Based on the feedback today,

I think we can improve greatly.

Gosh, please.

I hope we can perform.

Really.

I want to perform.

I love the stage.

Fighting.

The final attempt.

(GROUND: Restarting practice based on midpoint feedback)

(The choreography of the part 7 has changed)

I used to dance ballet.

I changed the movement to a ballet pirouette.

Great.

I can see Chaeeun's part much better.

Thank you.

I felt like I should bring my part to life

so that the producers think I did a good job.

(GROUND practicing with a new attitude after the midpoint check)

We all improved.

I felt amazing

I was grateful to everyone for working hard.

It felt like everyone was more motivated.

We're stronger together now.

We rely on each other more.

We have a stronger connection.

(GROUND in last-minute practice)

(Park Yeeun collapsed during practice)

Let's pause.

(Park Yeeun sprained her ankle during practice)

So sorry.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

(Bursting into tears out of feeling sorry toward her friends)

I'm really worried because of my ankle sprain.

What I'm most worried about is

what we practiced thus far...

I'm sorry.

I'm heartbroken that

I may not be able to share the performance.

My teammates worked so hard.

But because of my empty spot,

I was frustrated that

the performance might be incomplete.

I hope we can complete the performance successfully.

We better hurry up and pick the parts and practice.

Juwon, Sarang, Jimin, Jiwon. The four of you.

It felt like a second chance.

I'd like to be the center.

Who'd like to do the center?

I signed myself up.

I don't want to miss the opportunity.

I really wanted to do the center part.

I was thinking of Juwon for the center.

Me? Really?

Gosh, what now?

(Son Juwon was unable to be the center due to Choi Jungeun's change of heart)

I have another opportunity.

I better do well.

(Who shall be the pick?)

Number one.

(Center candidate 1: Bang Jeemin)

(Center candidate 2: Son Juwon)

(Center candidate 3: Yoon Jiyoon)

(Center candidate 4: Ryu Sarang)

The eyes!

I'm so desperate.

- Gosh. - I feel your desperation.

I feel evil.

I felt the evil in your eyes.

I heated up.

I felt the evil rise up.

Go to the bathroom and wash your hands.

I want to wash my face. It's so hot.

I went for the center, really wanting it,

so I felt weird.

It felt like Jeemin's the best fit for the mood.

Jiyoon sings well but lacks in dance.

The person who can deliver a solid performance

- in three days is Ryu Sarang. - I agree.

I think it's best we go with a stable choice.

I think Juwon's best.

She is a great match for this song.

She brought out the ooh's and ahh's

with her intro.

Right.

Sarang is stable but lacks impact.

Juwon is impactful but a little disappointing.

Such a dilemma.

Everyone, we have the result.

Can we do it over?

We have the result.

Let me announce the result.

They must be so nervous.

Let me go ahead and just say it.

The center part...

(Drumroll)

(Who will be the center of Signal Song?)

I really wanted to be the center.

(10 minutes ago) I'm torn between Juwon and Sarang.

I'm five percent leaning toward Sarang.

- Sarang really wants to be the center. - She has the desire.

I felt it.

Juwon brought such determination.

Juwon is a great dancer, so she brings energy.

Raise your hand for Sarang.

(Yui, Sujung, Mai) Me, too.

Raise your hand for Juwon.

(Three for Sarang, three for Juwon)

(Kim Gyuri still torn)

Gyuri, you break the tie.

(Three for Sarang, three for Juwon)

I vote for Juwon.

Let's go with Juwon.

It will be Juwon.

Me?

We trust you to do your best.

Thank you.

I'll try my best!

Fighting.

Let's determine the other parts.

I was so disappointed.

I really wanted the part. I tried my best.

(Before the parts redistribution)

(Ryu Sarang practices the center part alone while I-LANDERS dine)

I must not have lived up to

others' expectations for the part.

But I don't think it would be right

for me to be disappointed and depressed

just because I didn't get the part.

So, although I'm not the center,

I'll work hard to be as good as the center.

(Yoon Jiyoon, another I-LANDER in crisis)

What do we do with part 4, Fuko's part?

It would be weird for Jiyoon to take that on, right?

I prefer Jiyoon to appear later on in the song.

I want her to enter explosively for the highlight.

What do you all think?

I think it's best not to change it without a huge reason.

The whole team has to adjust to the changes.

It'll be tough.

- Fix the parts 4 and 5? - Yes, fix them.

Part 6. Fix this one, too?

I'll try my best.

Part 7. Fixing it to Ryu Sarang.

Part 8, Jeemin.

Part 9.

By chance...

(Part 9 is open due to Juwon switching)

Juwon's gone now.

I think I can dance...

This is a dancer's part. So, you want to do it?

Contestant's pick for best dancer.

I got chills down my spine.

I could see every small detail.

She's No. 1 in dancing...

Shall we see?

It was great.

(Everyone seems to want Koko for part 9)

(Fainting from happiness)

Part 9 is a dancer's part.

I'll try my best to show my charm.

I'll give it my best.

Part 10, Saebi.

Huh? The remaining parts are...

Parts 10, 11, and 12. Mai and Jiyoon remain.

(Which parts will Saebi, Mai, and Jiyoon take from the remaining three parts?

(She originally had part 10)

(She originally had part 11)

(Originally main vocal)

What do you think, Jiyoon?

I'd like to do part 10.

Part 10.

(Jeong Saebi originally had part 7)

Sarang and Saebi, switch parts.

Yes.

(Jeong Saebi performed part 10, which has a big solo)

Should we take a look?

But Jiyoon doesn't know the choreography for part 10.

It'll take a while to learn the choreography.

(Tough to show the solo choreography without knowing it)

Or go freestyle if you're okay with it.

I'll just take the remaining part 11.

This isn't easy for me to say.

If you take that part, I'm left with part 12.

But I feel more confident with part 11.

This is tough.

I don't need to do it.

What?

I don't know what we should do.

The mood is a bit...

Jungeun, only you can decide the parts, so go ahead.

Jiyoon said her part, and we saw everything we needed to see.

Then, Mai takes part 11, and Jiyoon takes part 12.

I didn't get the center part that I wanted after the main vocal.

I didn't get part 10 after that, either.

My priorities were pushed down over and over.

I was so upset.

I want to say something.

I'm sure you are disappointed with the part changes.

But it's for the team.

So, please set it aside and focus.

(The decision room)

(Did the leader Choi Jungeun distribute the parts according to the discussion?)

Signal Song parts have been changed.

I can see it.

Wow. This is how it is.

(I-LANDERS waiting for the results of the parts redistribution)

(The three main parts are revealed first)

Wow, really...

(The remaining parts revealed)

(Parts 11 and 12 draw attention)

I feel more confident with part 11.

Then, Mai takes part 11, and Jiyoon takes part 12.

The parts 11 and 12 swapped?

(The practice room is silent with the unexpected result)

We can do it. Cheer up.

Fighting.

Fighting!

(Mai and Choi Jungeun meet in the break room) The reason I swapped it is

because I wanted more gravitas for that part,

and I thought a stronger vocalist would be a better fit.

Don't worry about me. I'm okay.

I'm sure it's meant to be,

even if I do part 12.

It's okay.

I'll be fine. I'm not a part 12 that can be ignored.

I'm the part 12 that makes an impact at the end.

When I saw the result,

it would be a lie if I said I wasn't disappointed.

But...

(She's secretly upset about the unexpected part change)

But I believe that I can

give the part 12 my all.

I'm the only one who can bring it to life.

I'll remember that as I practice.

I could go there, but that leaves an empty spot.

- I think you should come over more. - I think I need to go here.

This is good, but that... (Yoon Jiyoon, unable to focus)

I'm having a tough time with the change,

and that made me passive.

(Repeatedly missing the beat, unable to focus)

Right, right.

Circle around.

Is she not feeling well?

What's happening now?

It felt like she didn't accept her new part.

(Jiyoon participates with no energy)

(That evening) I'm going to talk to Jiyoon.

- Now? - Yes.

I'm curious about what's bothering you.

I tried out for the center part.

After I didn't get that, I lost all motivation.

I wanted to do my best,

but after...

I couldn't get my way...

I had to make the choice for the team.

I hope you can shine on your part.

I hope you can cheer up.

I understand you more than anyone.

As the leader, it must have been so hard to make that decision.

I felt bad that I was having a tough time.

I felt bad for Jungeun and my teammates.

(I-LANDERS gathered at the practice room) I'm sorry I wasn't able to do a good job.

It's okay.

As long as you can ground yourself now.

The toughest thing was

feeling my teammates' mental struggles more than the practices.

I struggled with what to say to them.

I feel like we're a better team

after I've embraced their hardships.

Let's go from the beginning.

(I-LAND begins practice)

(Hurrying)

(The shoelaces are not tied yet)

(Pros don't show the struggle)

I'm so bad at tying my laces.

(Trying again)

I keep practicing lacing up

whenever I get a chance.

I'm worried that

she's stressed out.

(I lace my shoes, and therefore I exist)

I better keep practicing lacing my shoes.

(A white mask comes into focus during a smooth rehearsal)

I kept feeling sick,

and we had limited time until the performance.

Sorry.

Do you want to go up there and rest?

Sorry.

(Fuko was under the weather during rehearsals)

I was worried that I'd be evaluated in this condition.

Each person has to do an amazing job

for the team to survive.

I didn't want to have a negative effect on the team.

There's so little time.

We can't rest after eating.

I better work harder for the team.

I want to hear that we did well.

I'm here to do this. I'm all in.

We will try our best to

keep us 12 fierce ones at the I-LAND.

(I-LANDERS packing up the day before the test)

I really don't want to pack.

I want to stay here.

We'll do great tomorrow.

Did you like your roommates?

Amazing.

At first, I...

You didn't like us at first.

I thought you were all prettier and better than me at first.

What are you talking about?

Shut up.

I thought I'd be alone, struggling.

But you realized we weren't so hot.

And that we weren't so good.

That's how it goes?

- So it goes. - I was so comfortable and happy.

Me, too.

I didn't make a lot of close friends,

but I was glad to become friends with my roommates.

Let's all stay on and stay roommates.

Of course.

I hope packing up is an effort in vain.

Love that.

I'll pack a hundred times, only if it's all in vain.

Thinking about leaving I-LAND...

No, we're not leaving.

We're not leaving, right?

We're not leaving. I'm not leaving.

(Signal Song Test D-day)

The goal is for every teammate to do well

so that no one is eliminated.

I hope this is not the last evening.

I-LANDERS are all here because they're good.

I have faith in the team,

and I feel confident we'll do well.

(Everyone must do well to survive the first test)

(Will all the I-LANDERS survive?)

(Producing Room) We're about to see the first test performance.

LeeJung served as the performance director.

I was so shocked.

It was super advanced.

I tried to bring everyone's strengths to life.

I tried to make a performance

where 12 people harmonize and show off their value as a group.

The performance of lacing the show by the center performance

represents determination,

and has an element of acting.

- Love that. - Really?

I hope they do well.

We must do our performance the best we can.

Strike a pose.

They're starting now.

(The I-LAND Signal Song is live streaming to GROUND)

- They're starting. - It's real time.

Fighting.

I'm so nervous.

(I-LANDERS entering the I-STAGE)

Fighting.

We can do it.

(GROUNDERS are nervous for the I-LANDERS' Signal Song Test)

Don't be nervous.

No, be a little nervous.

So insane.

Please let us perform.

I was so happy onstage.

They can only fall from there.

Right, and we can only climb.

They must be under a lot of pressure to maintain their status.

We're golden. We'll do a great job with no mistakes.

(I-LANDERS release tension, cheering each other on)

They're more relaxed now compared to the midpoint check.

I agree.

Their faces show confidence.

A new center.

The new center better do a good job.

What's the meaning of intentionally untying her shoes?

I bet it's hard to lace your shoes in one go.

(Tense)

- Fighting! You can do it! - Just like we practiced.

Fighting.

Now, the first test that determines everyone's fate shall begin.

I-LANDER. Stand by.

I feel so tense.

They must be starting now.

- Wow, so cool. - Very.

(Final Love Song, I-LANDER)

She better lace up well.

- Aigoo. - Gosh, she missed.

She's shaken inside but strong on the outside.

Wow.

So stable.

- So good. - Look at her face.

So pretty.

Really brought it to life.

Chills.

Mai's so impactful.

So pretty.

I love her facial expression.

So pretty.

Great job.

Great improvement.

(At the GROUND)

They're so good.

What now?

We did well, as expected.

But there were a few disappointing members.

I suspect there might be eliminations.

I thought we'd at least get to perform.

I think we'll get to perform.

She wasn't able to tie her shoes.

(Son Juwon anxiously awaits the results after her shoelace mistake)

I bet I'll get a low score.

Because I wasn't able to tie my shoes.

Gosh, why did it have to...

I kept remembering my shoelace mistake.

I felt so sorry for my teammates.

Producers, please give your feedback on the performance.

Great work. After the midpoint check,

I was torn on whether the song needed to be changed.

Despite that, you carried through well.

- Jungeun. - Yes.

With you as the main vocal, the music felt complete.

Thank you.

Great choice, switching to Jungeun.

She did a great job as the main vocalist.

(Son Juwon increasingly anxious)

The center was originally Jungeun because I took it on.

I don't want them to question why I became the center.

Center Juwon.

You made a mistake with the shoelace.

It's part of the performance,

so you should have performed it without a mistake.

You know that, right?

She must be so disappointed.

However,

When you were center, your facial expressions

and messaging was clear.

With Son Juwon as the center, they seem stable.

I can see why she's there.

There was a bit of a drastic shift in parts.

I thought, "Why is someone new in the center?"

But today, you really proved why.

I want to applaud you for that.

(I-LANDERS all applaud for her)

After I saw the entrance tests,

and thinking about the intro of this song,

I thought Sarang would be great for the part.

(Ryu Sarang was consistent in her intro part in the last mission)

There was a part of me that wished I could be the center.

But after seeing today's performance,

frankly, I don't know if I was right.

I got the impression that you were holding back.

Sarang, Sujung, Gyuri, Saebi.

None of you were bad. You all did your part.

But...

you know "not bad" is the worst thing you could be, right?

No cons, no pros. You just did your part.

The parts were switched quite last minute.

You went through a series of unlucky events.

Unfortunately, we saw that in your performance.

Adding onto that, Jiyoon.

For some reason, you seemed uncomfortable when I saw your performance.

That's how it felt to me.

But I don't think you're aware of that.

Ironically, because the parts were switched,

your voice stood out better.

(Yoon Jiyoon stood out more onstage in her new part)

When I debuted, I wasn't the main vocalist or leader.

I only thought about how I could pull off what I was given.

Then, in some songs, I got to do the main vocals.

Then, sometimes, I got to be the center.

Those things can happen.

It's important to pull off your own part.

That's a vital tip. So, I wanted to tell you that.

Great job. Thank you.

Thank you!

Producers, please score the 12 I-LANDERS individually.

Who stood out to you?

In terms of impact,

Jeemin and Mai.

They didn't have the star parts,

but they made their parts the star parts.

- I agree. - She sang, "I don't have time to stop."

It made me want to ask, "Why don't you have time to stop?"

(Bang Jeemin has no time to stop)

"Jeemin, why don't you have time to stop?"

She made her part stand out.

In terms of their eyes, I liked Mai the best.

Me, too.

Not everyone has the ability to pull you in like that.

I thought Jungeun jumped out and did her part well.

Jungeun sang and danced well.

I think she is a strong contender.

Personally, I'm most disappointed in ***.

I think she was pretty much the weakest.

I felt like she didn't carry her part.

There's something inside her that's not working.

I had to wonder if she was only capable of supporting.

I think I need to give her a low score.

Good job, everyone.

We will now reveal the results of the Signal Song mission.

The average of the 12 individual scores will be your team score.

Those results will decide how many will be eliminated.

That's harsh.

An average of 85 would still be really high.

But that would release three people.

So our individual scores need to be really good.

We will reveal the individual scores anonymously.

- So we don't get to see whose score it is? - We don't.

What?

75.

96 and 75.

(Two people scored the lowest at 75)

75.

I was worried that our scores were lower than I expected.

We will now reveal the team score.

I hope we at least get 85.

There were more scores in its 70s than expected.

As a result of the test, there will be...

(The average score of the I-LANDERS is 84)

three members to be eliminated.

- Three? - Three.

That's a lot.

Who's going to leave?

Who's going to leave?

I couldn't stop thinking about my shoelaces.

I felt so bad for my teammates.

But the I-LANDER who had the highest score

will be excluded from the elimination.

Must be nice.

We will now reveal the top 3 scorers.

(Bang Jeemin, Son Juwon, Choi Jungeun)

Bang Jeemin.

Son Juwon, Choi Jungeun.

I'm sad.

I can do better.

They're all so good, I don't know who it's going to be.

The person who will be exempt from the elimination is...

I got a good score from the judges,

but we get to decide who stays.

So I really hoped that I would come on top.

Choi Jungeun.

(Choi Jungeun comes in first for the Signal Song mission)

Wow, she's the winner.

- I knew it. - Well deserved.

Good job.

I think she really carried her weight as the main vocalist.

She looked like a real singer.

- Agreed. - This is what I see on TV.

Her fundamental skills are top-tier.

She will also be the center of the Signal Song music video,

and be featured at the beginning and the end of the video.

A music video is forever.

It's an amazing opportunity.

I'm so grateful for that opportunity.

Now, it's time to make some decisions.

Your internal votes

determine who stays and who leaves.

Including yourself,

select three people you want to stay in I-LAND with.

Even five votes did not feel like enough last time.

We will now start the vote.

I wanted to vote for someone good at what I'm not.

This was a team mission.

I thought about who contributed to the team.

This is so hard.

Koko, please make your way to the decision room.

I got to be center this time,

and got good feedback from the producers.

We all heard it.

So, hopefully, a few people would vote for me.

(The decision room)

(There is a surprise inside the room)

You see your individual score.

(Only you can see your own individual score)

(Ryu Sarang, 83)

(Koko, 86 points)

(Yoon Jiyoon, 88)

(What is Top 3 Son Juwon's score?)

(Son Juwon, 92)

(So happy)

(Yui, 75)

I'm the reason three people will be eliminated.

I feel so guilty.

(Sad)

(Jung Saebi, 79, also in the 70s)

(Worried)

My score from the producers is so low.

I'm sure mine is lower.

Mine was really low.

The Fuko I know should have pulled off this part.

I was very disappointed.

(Fuko got the lowest score alongside Yui)

I knew it.

It was lower than the test scores I got in school.

I once got 14 points on a test in school.

It was higher than that, but...

I realized that the process of practicing the performance

was just as important.

I voted for people I know who will keep working hard.

I wanted to keep working with this person.

Someone who helped me when I was struggling.

Someone I was grateful for.

The votes are all in.

Only nine of you will remain in I-LAND.

I can't watch it.

Koko-san.

I love you. Thank you.

Don't say your goodbyes yet.

No, you got this.

- Get what? - Staying here.

The first I-LANDER is

the winner of the Signal Song Test.

Choi Jungeun.

Thank you.

The second I-LANDER,

with seven votes is...

That's a lot of votes.

I thought it might be me.

I got good feedback.

Mai.

Mai.

Congratulations!

Mai never complained about the parts changing.

I loved how she worked hard on what she was given.

She works hard and is proactive.

Not voting for her was out of the question.

I feel thankful that so many people thought of me.

It made me want to work harder.

The third I-LANDER,

with seven votes is...

It's a tie.

Kim Sujung.

(Still shocked)

I was getting ready to go to GROUND.

What are you talking about?

(Nope)

(Squealing like a dragon)

Is she actually crying?

Really?

Unni, you did so much for our team.

Sujung led the dance this time around.

She helped us deliver a high-quality performance.

I was so grateful to her.

You gave a perfect performance.

Thank you.

The fourth I-LANDER,

with six votes is...

Bang Jeemin.

Congratulations!

Stop the waterworks.

Stop the waterworks.

Thank you.

I think I saw her practice the most in her individual practice room.

She put a lot of thought into her part.

I voted for her because I wanted to work with her again.

The fifth I-LANDER,

with four votes is...

That's a lot less votes.

Jung Saebi.

Koko.

Yui.

(Two I-LANDERS remain)

It's okay.

(Fuko, tied for the lowest individual score)

(Center Son Juwon, Part 5 Kim Gyuri)

I'm so nervous.

Please...

I thought I would be around the fourth.

But I hadn't seen myself yet.

The first time I survived as an I-LANDER, I got called last.

I was so nervous.

I really didn't want to go to GROUND.

My score was above average.

But I thought maybe this had nothing to do with talent.

The eighth I-LANDER,

with two votes is...

Son Juwon.

Thank goodness.

Good job.

(One spot remains in I-LAND)

Who is the last I-LANDER to survive the Signal Song Test?

I wasn't expecting much from the beginning.

I didn't take good care of myself.

I think self-care is part of your craft.

I don't think I would trust myself moving forward.

I felt bad that I lowered the quality of the performance.

I was so angry at myself.

With two votes...

(Who will be the last survivor in I-LAND?)

Contestants have been eliminated from I-LAND.

(We can perform, too!)

Let's go!

We will now begin the GROUND performance.

Please make your way to the stage.

(Park Yeeun's injury has gotten better)

Give me a fighting!

Fighting!

Let's never come back here again.

(GROUNDERS head to the I-STAGE they've been waiting for)

I-LAND... I-LAND...

I want it so badly.

I don't know how to describe it.

If I trust myself and present my best self,

I think I can get there.

I hope the results will be good.

They now have hopes of getting into I-LAND.

Let's hope that they do well.

I have a feeling

that their average score will not be higher than I-LAND.

But I think those who stand out will stand out more.

Even more.

It's the desperation.

They must have worked so hard to prepare in GROUND.

I hope we'll see a twist.

The Signal Song Test

will determine who will go to I-LAND.

The GROUNDER test will now begin.

All right, let's go.

Will this center know how to tie her shoelaces?

I didn't know that would be something we look out for.

Those shoelaces.

Let's go!

(Final Love Song - GROUNDER)

- She's giving face. - Eyes, too.

- Shoelaces! - Tie them well!

Please!

- Better than the other one. - The shoelaces were tied, at least.

- This intro is better than I-LAND's. - Agreed!

She is much more expressive than Sujung.

Too bad about the vocals, but the lift is much better than I-LAND's.

Face, face, face.

Soul did a great job.

She showed off her major.

She grew.

It's better.

More confidence!

This part could have been better.

Yuju is giving eyes.

Aigoo, aigoo.

Even when Soul isn't the center...

That's right, she's good.

She's fully immersed in it.

I'm quite disappointed.

I'm not sure about this team.

Since we saw I-LAND first,

we can't help but compare them.

They were even worse during the midpoint check.

But the people who were the weakest

did grow a lot. The sprouts are out.

They're close to average now.

We're seeing a little more potential.

This was also possible because of Yuju's leadership.

Good job.

Great work.

(Everyone comforts each other post-performance)

- Chaeeun. - Yes!

You weren't great.

But what I do want to compliment you on

is the fact that you didn't back down. You went for it.

It's okay if your voice cracks. Just sing it. Confidently.

I got up the courage to really sing it.

I was so grateful he recognized my courage.

The skill of singing

- is a necessity for a singer. - Yes.

So we need to keep fighting for it and not back down.

Got it.

And Yeeun.

You also improved a lot.

She's better.

You looked consistent,

and your singing also became quite consistent.

Thank you.

I was so worried because of my ankle.

But I heard that there was growth.

It felt really good.

Personally, I think Yuju carried this performance by herself.

As the leader, as the center,

I want to tell you that you did a great job.

- You worked very hard. - Thank you.

It was cool that they recognized my work.

I'm grateful for every moment of feedback.

We will now announce the GROUNDER who will join I-LAND.

The first recruit...

I was so anxious because there were only three cards.

Please... please... please.

The first recruit...

(The first recruit is Nam Yuju)

I think Yuju carried this performance by herself as the leader.

No one can deny that.

I did it.

If I work hard, I can do anything.

The second recruit is...

(Choi Soul)

(The second recruit is Choi Soul)

Thank you.

Even when Soul isn't the center,

she's fully immersed in it.

I thought about all the days that were difficult.

All these emotions came up for me.

The last recruit...

(Only one more GROUNDER will join I-LAND)

I used to think I might not get to join I-LAND.

But now, it might be me who gets to go.

The last recruit is...

(Kim Minsol)

(The third recruit is Kim Minsol)

Thank you.

Minsol.

I think she was better than Sujung.

(Minsol was a flawless main dancer)

Recruits, please make your way to I-LAND.

(GROUNDERS say goodbye)

Don't be intimidated.

- Wait for us in I-LAND. - I will.

I don't want to leave them behind.

Go, go!

They're telling us to go.

Hurry up and leave.

Good job, you guys.

(The recruits share their joy)

This is the end of the Signal Song Tests.

So, the members of I-LAND and GROUND are different now.

The contestants who left GROUND to join I-LAND

might prove themselves further.

So, three people were internally voted off from I-LAND.

I'm so curious about them.

Are you the audience?

Is that someone else's business?

It's not that.

- But there must be some drama among them. - Right.

(How did the I-LAND vote end?)

(10 minutes later)

(The eliminated contestants head to GROUND)

They're not going to know we're coming.

- I didn't know I would be coming here, either. - Same.

So, I'm the only one who voted for me.

I feel like crap.

(After the recruits left for I-LAND)

When we get to GROUND, they'll be there.

- Who? - The new people.

I wonder which three it will be.

(GROUND)

The girls should be coming back soon.

(The voted-off contestants from I-LAND are in GROUND)

Those who have not been called, please return to GROUND.

When are they back?

- Who's going to be there? - Are they going to be there?

Right.

- I can't imagine. - Right?

- Are they here? - I hear them.

Do you think someone's in there?

Who's in here?

(Who was voted off from I-LAND? To be continued)

Do you think someone's in there?

Who's in here?

(Who are the three voted off from I-LAND?)

- Unni! - What?

(Eliminated from I-LAND, Kim Gyuri)

(Eliminated from I-LAND, Fuko)

(Eliminated from I-LAND, Yoon Jiyoon)

Why are you here?

The last I-LANDER who survived the Signal Song Test,

with two votes is...

Ryu Sarang.

(The last survivor is Ryu Sarang)

Thank you.

(The air is heavy in I-LAND after the results)

Those are the nine surviving members.

Kim Gyuri,

Yoon Jiyoon,

and Fuko,

please return your name tags and head to GROUND.

I expected this but still didn't feel great about it.

That means no one voted for me.

I couldn't understand.

Maybe the results were wrong?

This makes no sense.

(The three eliminated members disappear)

Wow, seriously?

Don't be too sad in GROUND.

Just think about getting back here.

- You can get back here. - I don't know about that.

- You can get back here. - I don't know about that.

I don't know about that.

(Yoon Jiyoon leaves without saying anything)

I'll be back! Bye!

Do we need to go right away?

We can be the best ones over there.

I don't feel motivated to do well over there.

I'm the only one who voted for me.

(GROUNDERS are shocked at who got sent here)

- No way! - If I see your faces, I'll cry.

I was shocked.

So confused.

Especially Fuko. I did not expect this for her.

- Why are you here? - Why are you guys here?

This makes no sense.

I expected none of you.

It's rough down here.

(Fuko cries again)

I thought about the rehearsal process

when I cast my votes.

Some of the girls were sick this time around.

If they're sick, we can't rehearse with them.

That affected the team.

Self-care is part of the work.

I thought Jiyoon was a little risky.

Because in practice,

she's always low-energy.

We rehearse for very short periods of time,

so your mindset is important.

I think other I-LANDERS may have felt that, too.

Taking care of yourself is part of the work.

I should have done better.

I felt so bad,

not for myself but for the other two who were eliminated.

I got the lowest score.

Because I lowered the average score,

the other two had to get eliminated.

I felt so guilty.

(It's unclear how Yoon Jiyoon is feeling)

I was so surprised. I did not expect these people.

I felt betrayed.

I didn't want other people to see me here.

So, who went up to I-LAND?

(I-LAND)

Someone just got on.

I just heard someone get on.

I think they're coming right away.

Right away?

They're coming?

Let's hold hands.

The recruits have arrived.

I'm not ready.

We just let the other ones go.

But they're here now.

We should welcome them.

Why am I so nervous?

- Who is it? - I'm so curious.

(I-LANDERS warmly greet the recruits)

I'm going to be more confident, work harder,

so I can stay here moving forward.

I want to keep growing and stay in I-LAND.

I worked hard to get here,

so I'll do my best at every moment.

I'll give a great performance.

I-LAND has been reconfigured by the Signal Song Test.

Recruits, please put your name tags on the chairs.

(Insignias for the recruits are added)

Congratulations.

After the first test and its results,

I-LAND and GROUND went through changes.

They will continue to go through elimination and survival.

They will keep knocking on the door of their own potential.

I-LAND 2 N/a.

What will the next chapter hold?

If I may give you one spoiler...

Oh, my goodness!

It's a seesaw game!

What's a seesaw game?

Is it I-LAND versus GROUND?

This test...

will be I-LANDER versus I-LANDER.

It's an internal battle.

There's no peace here.

There's more tension.

It's going to be a bloodbath.

GROUNDER versus GROUNDER.

Two units will battle each other.

What good is fighting against one another?

The entire winning team will go to I-LAND.

If I don't go to I-LAND this time, that will be ridiculous.

There's a 50% chance, that's good.

The entire losing team will go to GROUND.

So half of us will go to GROUND.

And...

for the first time in I-LAND 2 N/a,

someone will be permanently eliminated.

This is a real survival game now.

We're really starting now.

I need to work really hard this time.

If you get sent to GROUND, you are up for elimination.

My goal is not to get eliminated.

Two people in GROUND will be immediately eliminated.

That was shocking. I don't want to go home.

- I don't want this. - I need to get to I-LAND.

If we win and get to I-LAND, we don't get eliminated.

I need to get to I-LAND, no matter what.

This round, I cannot make any excuses.

(The results of the first test, "Signal Song")

In 2024, the world will meet an iconic new girl group.

I-LAND 2 N/a.

I-MATES, have you found your I?

You can support your "I" directly.

You can participate with the official I-LAND 2 N/a app.

Pair up with a friend you want to make special memories with.

I'm so happy.

These two will go up against each other.

We shouldn't have paired up!

We're going to win, no matter what.

You did well.

(Meanwhile, in GROUND...)

Too loud.

I'm sorry, but...

I hope I'm the one who goes to I-LAND.

(The seesaw game performances start)

So good.

- Crazy. - Pretty, pretty!

She shines, really.

Okay! Let's go!

(Winners to I-LAND, losers to GROUND, how will the seesaw game go?)
