(I-LAND 2 N/a)

Part 1, the first test.

The Signal Song test result shifted I-LANDERS.

A total of three people have been shifted.

I hate the fact that I'm here in GROUND.

(The second test of Part.1, Seesaw Game)

I-LANDER vs. I-LANDER.

GROUNDER vs. GROUNDER.

(Yesterday's friend is today's foe!)

Whistle, go away.

The entire losing team will be sent to GROUND.

The Seesaw Game stage begins now.

Hey, boy.

(Whistle Unit showed a stable performance)

It was so cool.

(Panorama Unit showed an energetic performance)

It was really fun.

I really don't know who will win.

(And)

I should definitely go to I-LAND.

I'm confident that I'll be on I-LAND.

I promise. I'll make sure to let you go to I-LAND.

(GROUNDER's first performance, Bad Boy Unit)

Today, Yeeun...

How did you get here? This is not your dream.

I could feel that Yeeun worked really hard.

(GROUNDER's 2nd performance, Like OOH-AHH Unit)

Are we misunderstanding?

Who are the two who will be leaving I-LAND tonight?

(Who will be the two eliminated to leave I-LAND?)

(I-LAND 2)

I'm so cute. Gosh, I'm so cute.

The expression! Make a pretty face.

Pretty! Pretty!

Oh, so refreshing!

- So cute. - So pretty.

You're so pretty.

It's okay, you can do it.

I'm going crazy.

Oh, they're here!

(GROUND's 2nd performance, Like OOH-AHH Unit)

Let's do it without regret.

Is that J... Ji... Ji... Jiyoon!

Jiyoon!

She's so pink.

But really, how did Jiyoon and Fuko decide on a unit like that?

Like OOH-AHH Unit.

"Like OOH-AHH" is actually a very bright song.

You need to create a bright and refreshing vibe.

If you think it's a song that suits you,

it'll be very easy for some members.

But I'm sure there are people who don't feel that way.

That's right!

But I think it's important how you accept it and express it your own way.

(On the day of GROUND interim check)

Please think of it as the main stage and do your best.

(How is the interim check for Like OOH-AHH Unit?)

Personally, when I look at the performance...

To be honest, it was a mess.

I want to give a feedback on Eunchae today.

But to be really honest, I don't remember which part you did.

But this means there's a problem, right?

I thought I'd have to study something that would make me stand out.

Actually, Gyuri...

was being Gyuri.

You did what you're good at.

Our expectations must have been high. I think you've met that sufficiently.

I think Gyuri is the one who understood this song the best.

And I think she was the only one who didn't avoid my eyes.

Gyuri was the only one who made me feel, "I'm thrilled,

she's singing to me."

Thank you.

My effort was not in vain.

I was so happy that my mind was flying like this.

Personally, I'm a bit disappointed with Jiyoon.

I'm going to give you some strong feedback. Is that okay?

Yes.

If you came down from I-LAND, I think you should've been dominating on GROUND.

But now, you're not like that.

(Yoon Jiyoon's singing wasn't exactly good)

If it has something to do with how you feel, it's also your skills.

If it's the same as now on stage, I don't think you have a chance.

You're just that kind of vessel.

So you have to get your mind straight.

You have to be the best one here.

Even so, it's not certain that you'll ace in I-LAND as well.

Or, it'll be like, "I guess it was her fate to come to GROUND."

I was so scared.

I thought it was all an excuse that I couldn't show it because the song didn't fit me.

I think my mind is the biggest problem.

Are you having a difficult time with something?

You heard what they said during the interim check, right?

What I want to tell Jiyoon is,

you have to overcome things that are cute and pretty and things you're not confident about.

In my opinion, you can break your limitations and do more.

I think you're stuck on that feedback too much now.

I hope you don't struggle with it too much.

You look very sad now.

I think mind control is more important than practice.

(Mind control)

Self-image making.

I'm cute. It suits me well.

I am the cutest.

(Self image making failed)

(Forcing cuteness)

Too aggressive. Too aggressive.

I'm cute. This suits me.

I'm cute.

(Am I doing it right!?)

Still... I think I worked hard.

I want to hear, "You put in a lot of effort."

You can do it.

From now on, "I-LAND 2 N/a,"

Like OOH-AHH Unit's stage to decide the common fate will begin.

You can do it. You can do it.

Standby.

At this stage, I'll let go of myself as much as possible

and show you what I practiced.

Is it starting now?

You can do it refreshingly!

Will Like OOH-AHH Unit perform elegantly?

I really can't show any reaction.

Since we're rivals.

("Like OOH-AHH," original song by TWICE)

My gosh!

So pretty!

Cute!

Oh, my! So pretty!

I'm cute. This suits me.

Wow, Jiyoon!

How surprising was it? Jiyoon doing "Like OOH-AHH."

- So cute! - So cute!

How pretty!

She's good at acting.

Can't believe a little smile is so precious.

It suits Gyuri so well!

She looks like a doll.

Why is Jiyoon saving it too much?

It's a bit disappointing.

You have to run now!

You have to do more!

A little further!

It's a bit weak overall.

Disappointing...

To be really honest, there are no major changes compared to the interim check.

Yes, I think so, too.

Gyuri is still doing well,

and Jiyoon is still saving it.

Jiyoon?

You're the leader and the main vocalist.

You have the most parts in this song, right?

Yes.

However,

if the person who appears in front the most

perform like that with that facial expression,

the mood of the song becomes depressing.

(Yoon Jiyoon looked awkward)

Why is Jiyoon saving it too much?

Can't believe a little smile is so precious.

We gave you enough advice on your weaknesses

and I think you had a chance to fix it.

But it felt like you kept being stubborn.

We don't expect Jiyoon to be as bubbly as Gyuri.

If you do your best in what you can do, I think you'll be able to impress people.

I want you to see your will to deliver something to us.

But now this is, "I don't like this."

"This doesn't suit me."

"Why do I have to do this?"

I have a question for Jiyoon.

Are we misunderstanding?

When you said it's not that the song doesn't suit me,

but it's because I think that way,

I thought that was right, so I tried my best.

But I think it was far from being enough,

so I'm really sorry to my friends...

To be honest,

there's always a reason why you're not good.

If you work hard, you can't be bad at it.

If you do the same 4 hours as everyone else, you won't make it on GROUND.

You're being too naively hopeful,

but that kind of miracle doesn't happen easily.

My mindset was different between the interim check and today's performance,

and I was upset that it didn't get delivered.

- Eunchae? - Yes.

You might be able to become a singer if you keep practicing like this. But...

not here. Not like this.

It felt like you were not giving your best.

Right now, it's so amateur and like a talent show.

It's just like watching a cute relative come and dance during a holiday.

Yuiko.

I can feel that Yuiko is working really hard.

Thank you.

But I think not being able to see it is a big drawback.

You're just flowing.

I don't remember Yuiko.

Ironically, she stands out because she doesn't stand out.

It's a bit plain.

I wish you knew more about how to get people to focus on you.

Feels like you're doing your part and passed by.

It feels like you're doing your part and passed by.

And personally, Gyuri.

You did a really great job.

(Kim Gyuri showed 200% fresh and lively charm)

Still, it feels like I'm watching this to see Gyuri.

Gyuri carried it.

But I think it was really not enough for Gyuri to carry alone.

So, overall, I was a little disappointed.

Oh, Jiyoon is really...

It's a pity.

I'm disappointed about that, too.

She got such a good grade in I-LAND and got discharged,

but it feels like she's going to end there, where she's discharged.

I don't think they should feel happy and sad every moment.

You shouldn't be happy just because you're on I-LAND.

But in a way, maybe this is what she needs right now.

(Kim Gyuri and Yoon Jiyoon heading to GROUND after Unit Battle stage)

I worked hard, but I don't think I did a good job.

To be honest, I...

I need to show other things as well.

But I don't know if I can do it well.

I'm so frustrated with myself.

Mnet "I-LAND 2 N/a."

The second test, the Seesaw Game, to decide a common fate.

I-LANDER vs. I-LANDER.

GROUNDER vs. GROUNDER.

The team with the higher combined individual scores of 6 people wins.

Which unit will take the victory in the Seesaw Game?

Defeat means discharge.

You have to go to GROUND.

Let me announce the results of the Seesaw Game.

The total score of the 6 individuals is the unit score

and units with lower scores will be discharged to GROUND.

If I go to GROUND again, wouldn't it feel more vain?

And tonight,

two from GROUND will be eliminated.

If I don't get good results, it's really the end.

Wow, this is how they announce it?

(Seesaw Game Result Announcement)

(Personal score revealed publicly)

Are we getting personal scores?

It is shown together with our partners.

Bang Jeemin, Choi Soul, let me show you the result.

(Bang Jeemin received positive reviews from the producers in every test)

Jeemin is really good. And since she was the center of "Whistle,"

I don't have that many parts,

so I was a little worried.

I know better than anyone else how good Jeemin is,

so I thought the score would be stable.

(Bang Jeemin vs. Choi Soul)

(Bang Jeemin 82 / Choi Soul 83)

It's a one-point difference.

(Bang Jeemin 82 / Choi Soul 83)

It's a one-point difference.

Soul! My heart fluttered.

Your expression was so refreshing. Nice acting.

I feel like she's saving the action because of singing.

She controlled the choreography too much,

I was a little upset with myself

and really disappointed.

I'm sorry.

(No, we haven't lost yet)

Nam Yuju, Mai, let me show you the result.

(Whistle Unit, 1 point behind)

Please, please, please.

(Nam Yuju 81 / Mai 88)

You did a good job.

(Nam Yuju 81 / Mai 88)

(Total score widened by 8 points)

I don't think there's much difference.

I thought it would be nice to get a good score.

Let me show you the results of the Kim Sujung and Son Juwon.

(Kim Sujung 84 / Son Juwon 83)

(Kim Sujung won by 1 point but failed to close the gap)

They're so similar.

The score difference started to diverge.

I was very nervous watching it.

Yui and Choi Jungeun.

To be honest, I've been winning the 1st place

and been receiving benefits.

That's why I feel pressured to keep winning 1st place for this mission.

During the Signal Song test,

I got 75 points.

95 points?

Let me show you the result.

(Yui 91/ Choi Jungeun 83)

Our savior.

(Yui received the highest score among the currently released scores)

(Whistle Unit succeeded in turning the tables with Yui's score)

(Whistle Unit 338 / Panorama Unit 337)

Each unit had someone who did extra well.

Yui in Whistle Unit.

She was having fun while rapping. I could feel that from her expression.

I think she was more memorable than the center.

(Choi Jungeun 83)

What should I do?

Ryu Sarang and Koko.

(Ryu Sarang 84 / Koko 88)

(Ryu Sarang 84 / Koko 88)

(Panorama Unit leading again with Koko's score)

(Ryu Sarang 84 / Koko 88)

Let me show you the results of Kim Minsol and Jeong Saebi.

Saebi is the top. She's the best. The best.

She was perfectly responsible for the center.

Minsol looked like just one of those passing by.

I don't remember you.

The unit with lower scores will be discharged to GROUND.

(Seesaw Game's first place Jeong Saebi)

(and the last place Kim Minsol)

(Kim Minsol 68 / Jeong Saebi 93)

(Whistle Unit 490 / Panorama Unit 518)

Panorama Unit has won.

The Whistle Unit will be discharged to GROUND.

Please return your name tag.

Let's all come back to I-LAND next week.

Seriously.

I was so sad.

Minsol gave up "Panorama" for me.

(At the time of unit selection)

I don't think I can...

pull off "Whistle" well.

I don't want to go to GROUND again.

Did Minsol get discharged because of me?

(Saebi and Minsol's fate got crisscrossed)

It's our first time being apart.

Really.

I don't know because it's my first time being apart from you.

I'm worried about whether I can do a good job alone.

Thank you.

Eat well.

Bye.

Don't go.

(GROUND)

Announcing the results of the Seesaw Game.

(Like OOH-AHH Unit)

(Bad Boy Unit)

The unit with lower scores remains in GROUND.

I promised myself that I would send members to I-LAND.

We can definitely go up.

I tried hard to go to I-LAND together.

And tonight, two from GROUND will be eliminated.

Ah, the elimination..

Let me show you the result.

We wanted to win.

I've heard many times that I didn't do my part.

But I wanted to...

go up to I-LAND together.

(What's the result of Seesaw Game?)

(I-LAND)

Fillers will arrive shortly.

They're coming.

(I saw it)

(I-LAND filler Bad Boy Unit)

Why are you crying?

You came.

It's I-LAND.

It was so hard, right? I thought a lot about you.

I've missed you.

You did a great job.

You've been through a lot.

The results of the Seesaw Game will be revealed.

(Bad Boy vs. Like OOH-AHH)

(Bad Boy Unit Won)

You did a great job.

You did a great job.

The winner should move to I-LAND.

While practicing, I kept thinking that I was going up to I-LAND.

Since it's becoming a reality, it felt like a dream.

I was so sorry for Like OOH-AHH Unit.

What am I supposed to do without you?

Don't worry, don't worry.

- Congratulations. - It's gonna be okay.

Jiyoon, you worked really hard.

I worked hard.

I worked hard,

but no one knows.

No, I've been watching you.

Good job. You worked hard.

I wanted to go up with the members,

but we are left together in GROUND.

I feel so sorry.

From now on, let me reveal the first elimination of "I-LAND 2 N/a."

Reveal the first elimination of "I-LAND 2 N/a."

(I-LAND watching the announcement of elimination together)

I'm so anxious. What should I do?

The two who got the lowest score in the producer evaluation will be eliminated.

Those eliminated will end their journey in "I-LAND 2 N/a" today.

(Two of the lowest points are eliminated out of the 12 GROUNDERS)

I was the last among our units.

I was so scared and worried that I would be eliminated.

(On the other hand, Like OOH-AHH Unit doesn't know the individual score)

Because we didn't get good evaluations...

If I'm to tell you who's the best one here,

I can't tell you. It's all similar.

If you perform with that expression,

the whole mood of the song gets gloomy.

So amateur. It's like a school talent show.

It just flows by. Feels like it's just passing by.

I hope you find your own color when it comes to vocals.

We got a lot of bad reviews. Everyone's intimidated and

worried so much that...

we might be eliminated.

What do we do?

Here are the 3 candidates...

who got the lowest score.

The first candidate to be eliminated.

Gosh, Minsol.

Kim Eunchae.

The second candidate to be eliminated.

It's true that I lack skills in our unit.

I think if there is one eliminated, it will be me.

Yuiko.

Yuiko.

(Two candidates are being eliminated from Like OOH-AHH Unit)

I felt so sorry for my friends.

The last candidate to be eliminated.

I didn't want my name to come out.

(Who will be the last candidate to be eliminated?)

Kim Minsol.

Kim Minsol.

Kim Minsol.

You survived.

No...

I think I'm not a good person because

first, I felt it was a relief.

At that moment, I felt relieved.

I hated myself because I thought it was...

a relief.

(Eliminated Contestants)

Of the three, one will survive and

two will be eliminated.

The first one to be eliminated.

Minsol's score was so low.

She's not a person who's likely to be eliminated.

Is Minsol going to get eliminated by any chance?

Hoping that doesn't happen, I kept cheering for her.

Kim Eunchae.

Kim Eunchae.

(The first eliminated contestant is Kim Eunchae)

Kim Eunchae.

Oh, no.

Announcing the second elimination.

I really don't know because

my score is so low. I really couldn't predict it.

I won't be eliminated, right? That's what I thought.

The one who needs to leave this place tonight is...

Yuiko.

Yuiko.

Kim Minsol...

(OOH-AHH Unit: Kim Gyuri, Yoon Jiyoon, Oh Yuna, Kim Chaeeun, Kim Eunchae, Yuiko)

(Bad Boy Unit: Fuko, Kang Jiwon, Um Jiwon, Nana, Park Yeeun, Lingling)

I came to show myself

to debut in I-LAND.

I was sad that I couldn't show...

myself anymore.

In a way, it's only a short time.

But it was a big stepping stone to what I dreamed of.

I think it's going to be a great memory in my life.

I'll practice a lot until I can perform next time.

I'll do my best to grow more.

(Before starting a day)

(Park Yeeun and Um Jiwon are up early)

It feels strange to see you here.

This is unbelievable.

Oh, what is this?

This is crazy.

This place is spacious enough to get lost.

I love it.

It's so nice to be here with you, Jiwon.

Let's share the same room.

I want to share the room with you.

Oh, my God.

So cute.

I never want to go back to GROUND.

This is the reason for the look of the people sent to GROUND.

(The look on the face after visiting GROUND for the first time)

(After the Seesaw Game result announcement)

So here it is.

The practice room is small.

So simple.

It's so different from I-LAND. The atmosphere and all.

I couldn't get used to it.

Why do I feel so bitter?

- Do you know what bitter means? - No.

Devastating

Oh, I don't know.

I'm going to practice to death.

I must return to I-LAND.

(Although that's what she told herself...)

It breaks my heart.

Everyone, to the lobby on the 1st floor.

So nervous.

What could it be?

(GROUND)

Is it about the next test?

Here is I-LAND and GROUND's third test.

(Unit Battle)

- Unit Battle? - What unit?

Unit Battle? What is it?

(Unit Battle: I-LAND vs. GROUND)

In this test, I-LANDERS and GROUNDERS will form three units each

and hold three battles.

Three times?

Every time GROUNDERS win,

3 people will be sent to GROUND from I-LAND.

The max number to be sent is 9.

That's crazy.

I-LAND will recruit as many dropouts as there will be from GROUND.

Will it be completely changed?

What's happening?

9 people.

(GROUND welcomes this wild rule)

It's worth trying.

I feel so supported to have you.

I have Sujung and Jeemin with me.

They're all amazing.

We're guaranteed to win.

We're going back to I-LAND.

If we don't lose, no one's leaving.

Exactly. So let's not lose.

If we pull it off, we won't be discharged.

We just need to do our best.

Based on the test results, people in GROUND will be eliminated.

There will be

2 eliminations.

Oh, my gosh.

We must do our best.

We have to pull it off.

First, the vocal unit.

The song expression is the key.

It's composed of 2 people.

Two?

Since there are only two, they had better be really good people.

The best singers should do it.

What matters is the test song.

Here is the vocal unit's test song.

(I-LAND vocal unit test song, "Fine" by Taeyeon)

(A 2017 solo release by Taeyeon, a song featuring a sentimental and explosive melody)

Jungeun, that's your song.

I'm already imagining Jungeun singing this.

Yes.

Will GROUND sing the same song?

Here is the vocal unit's test song.

(GROUND vocal unit test song, "Eyes, Nose, Lips" by Taeyang)

(A 2014 solo release, a slow tempo R&B song featuring simple piano and delicious vocals)

(GROUNDERS are surprised to see Producer Taeyang's song)

(One person is extra happy to see the test song)

(Yoon Jiyoon, who had been expressionless)

(When the test song was revealed)

It's the perfect song for my singing style.

I felt it was meant for me.

- I love it. - Are you confident?

- So much. - So much?

I knew it.

Next.

The dance unit.

You must pull off two different styles of dance.

It's composed of 3 people.

("My Bag" by (G)I-DLE + "Eve, Psyche & the Bluebeard's Wife" by Le Sserafim)

(The dance unit test song is revealed)

- Monika... - Monika!

If it's Monika's choreography, she'll probably teach us.

Stay there. I see no expression on you.

I hate no expressions!

(I-LAND dance unit's performance video)

It's hard.

It's hard.

That looks really hard.

Oh, what was that?

It's a mash-up of all genres.

There's house,

and there's voguing.

That's so tough.

It's way too difficult.

(What about the GROUND dance unit's test song?)

("Mic Drop" by BTS + "Sugarcoat" by Kiss of Life)

(Watching the choreography video)

It's hip-hop.

(The second song from a different genre)

It's two songs in different styles.

I love it.

Sarang, you'll be good at it.

I have a feeling I'll be good at it.

So I really want to join the dance unit.

What's the last unit?

Is it rap and dance?

The two combined?

Next. The creative unit.

- Creative? - What's that?

Creative unit?

Do we have to create something?

You must create the choreography for the given song.

You must create the choreography for the given song.

I can't do that. How do you do that?

It's composed of 7 people.

It'll be 5 people for GROUND.

I can't predict the song.

I wish it was ballet music.

Ballet...

I could show my ballet technique.

- Oh, you could do that. - You could do that.

- That's creative. - You're right.

That's creative.

(What's the test song for the creative unit?)

(Creative unit's test song, "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande) Lady Gaga?

(Creative unit's test song, "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande)

(Creative unit's test song, "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande)

(Two creative units compete with the same song)

We have to form the units carefully.

We have to play smart.

It's important to form

the units that are guaranteed to win.

(I-LANDERS form the units after the test was revealed)

Anyone wants the vocal unit?

Me.

(Fuko, Um Jiwom, and Choi Jungeun applied for the vocal unit)

Yes, Jungeun better do vocal.

Let's hear you sing.

(Candidate 1, Choi Jungeun)

(Candidate 2, Um Jiwon)

(Candidate 3, Fuko)

(After listening to the vocal unit applicants' teaser) Thank you!

How are we supposed to choose?

We all have different voices.

It's hard because we have to pick two voices that go well together.

Then, let's pick one person

who we think is a must.

One, two, three. (Who's the first member of the I-LANDER vocal unit?)

(Everyone picks Choi Jungeun)

Thank you.

Jungeun has strong vocals.

We must win,

so Jungeun has to be in the vocal unit.

After listening to "Fine" by Taeyeon,

I felt confident.

(When the test song was revealed)

You're good at this.

Jungeun, this is your song.

I'll show them what I'm good at.

Now we have to choose.

Since Jungeun is going to work with this person,

we have to consider her opinion.

At first, I thought

it'd work better with Um Jiwon.

But after listening to them, I think Fuko's voice matches my voice as well.

I thought Fuko's emotional expression kind of matches Jungeun's.

Fuko was more suitable for the song.

Right.

So, Fuko?

Thank you. I'll do my best.

It's going to be a legendary performance. (I-LAND's vocal unit, Choi Jungeun and Fuko)

I thought if Jungeun and I sing together,

we'll win no matter what.

I have a feeling our vocal unit will win.

Next is the dance unit.

We'll have to think about what GROUND might do.

Will Sujung be in the creative unit?

I think Sujung will be in the dance unit.

She'll be in the dance unit and help the creative unit.

(What's Kim Sujung's choice?)

Who wants the vocal unit?

Who wants the vocal unit?

(Kim Gyuri, Kim Minsol, Kim Sujung, and Yoon Jiyoon apply for the vocal unit)

Four people.

Hey, Kim Sujung. You can't be in the vocal unit.

(Kim Sujung, 17, main dancer / Specialty: creating choreography)

Then we'll be doomed. The dance units will be doomed.

I'll help you.

You'll shine more in the dance unit.

No.

I always get feedback that I look like a dancer singing.

Sujung, if you were going to be the main dancer,

you should've stopped after "Street Dance Girls Fighter 2."

It's not that you're a singer who's good at dancing,

but a dancer who's good at singing.

The vocal unit. I really want to do it. I want to try it out.

I want to sing at least once. I can do it, too.

Sujung suddenly wants to be in the vocal unit.

I was like, "What?"

Anyone who created a choreography before?

I've only done ballet.

(Getting thirsty)

I've tried it before, but...

(Creative experience Lv. 1)

Sarang, have you tried it before?

I don't have much choreography experience.

It's a unit battle.

This isn't about individuals,

but the unit.

We need to think about the quality.

This is what you're good at.

If you were going to be the main dancer,

you should've stopped after "Street Dance Girls Fighter 2."

It's a team mission.

We need to think about the quality.

If I make the choreography, I'm confident we'll win.

Go for the creative unit.

Fine, I'll do it because you're forcing me.

I'll clench my teeth and show how creative I am.

I'll use everything in my brain to make it creative.

It was a bummer,

but when it comes to being creative, I'm second to no one.

I'm confident about making a surprising performance.

Should we choose the vocal unit first?

Jiyoon should definitely be in the vocal unit.

Your voice is perfect for the song.

It's the song I can express perfectly.

I can pull this test off more than anything.

It should be a voice that matches Jiyoon's

yet contrasting.

I always regretted that I couldn't show

my vocals.

(The first applicant of the vocal unit, Kim Minsol)

(The second applicant, Kim Gyuri)

(I like it)

(Me, too)

(Who will be in GROUND's vocal unit?)

Gyuri was nice to hear.

- I felt like crying. - When Gyuri just sang,

I got emotional.

We'll say it's Gyuri for now.

If there are any issues, we can always change it.

I want to show something as a vocalist.

I-LAND's dance unit will be strong, too.

Koko will definitely join the dance unit.

For sure.

Any volunteers for the dance unit?

(Son Juwon and Koko apply for the dance unit)

Koko...

The no. 1 dancer chosen by applicants.

She's an amazing dancer.

She'll really stand out.

I really want to show my dance in this test.

(Another dance unit applicant, Son Juwon)

With Juwon and Koko, we're guaranteed to win.

I'm going to show you all I've got this time.

The best dancers here are Juwon and Koko.

If you all join the dance unit...

We need to maintain the balance.

It might break the balance in the creative unit.

The more we win means fewer dropouts.

So it's not a bad idea to include people who are guaranteed to win.

You're right.

Even if we lose, let only one unit lose.

If we focus on only one unit,

it's either all or nothing.

I'd rather have two winning units.

Let's make it certain.

Keep the balance or...

It's better to keep the balance.

Sounds good.

People who are good should do it.

(How will their strategies end?)

Two units must win to have fewer dropouts,

so we put people who are guaranteed to win in those two units.

Juwon and Koko should be in the dance unit.

I agree.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Um Jiwon's good at dancing.

- Yes, she was the main dancer. - Right.

Then Um Jiwon it is.

(I-LAND's dance unit, Son Juwon, Um Jiwon, and Koko) I'll give it my all.

The rest in the creative unit?

Saebi. Mai. Lingling.

That's more than I thought.

I was a bit worried because

many of them don't have experience creating choreography.

Dance unit?

You two go well together.

I was thinking the same.

(Two seats quickly gone in the dance unit)

Yuna should join the dance unit, too.

I guess not.

I don't feel confident.

It's hard to dance hip-hop and bring out the feels.

- Don't say that. - Practice until you feel confident.

We'll make you.

Yui.

Let's nail the stage with our expressions.

Dance? Okay!

Since I'm sent to GROUND, I'll do my very best with determination.

There's something I want to say.

The creative unit has to create a choreography.

Many people in I-LAND have that experience.

Combine all their experiences, and they're still not close to me.

(We knew we could count on you)

I feel reassured.

(Vocal unit: Choi Jungeun and Fuko vs. Kim Minsol and Yoon Jiyoon)

(Dance unit: Son Juwon, Um Jiwon, Koko vs. Oh Yuna, Ryu Sarang, Yui)

(Creative Unit: Kang Jiwon, Nana, Lingling, Mai, Park Yeeun, Jeong Saebi, Choi Soul)

(vs. Kim Gyuri, Kim Sujung, Kim Chaeeun, Nam Yuju, Bang Jeemin)

- Shall we listen to it? - Yes.

(GROUND Vocal Unit Kim Gyuri and Yoon Jiyoon)

(GROUND Vocal Unit Kim Minsol? And Yoon Jiyoon)

We'll say it's Gyuri for now. If there are any issues, we can always change it.

By any chance, can I practice and sing it one more time?

Sure, sure.

At first, Gyuri was fixed to the vocal unit.

I was a candidate for elimination last time

and I haven't been able to show my vocal skills, so I was trying a little harder.

(Kim Minsol trying out for the vocal unit again)

Listening to the overall song, I think it goes well with Minsol.

I think it's better to do it with Minsol.

(GROUND vocal unit started practicing after the replacement)

How do you copy?

- First, I listen to it a lot. - Me, too.

- Shall we listen to it? - Yes.

(Practicing separately with ear buds on)

We need some personal time first.

Since I practice a lot focusing on copying the song,

I practiced more individually.

(The result of the vocal unit's practice of GROUND with two voices in one space?)

(Vocal unit in 1F Small Training Room)

Jungeun and I have known each other for a long time,

so we all know how each other sings and how it feels.

I don't have to worry.

It's not bad.

Now, let's do the chorus.

("Fine" by Taeyeon featuring high notes)

Jungeun is the top among the 24 in both high and low notes.

(I-LAND high-pitched weapon Choi Jungeun)

(Jungeun's fine high notes)

Just listening to the voice that's coming out,

I think we can win 100%.

It would be strange if our vocal unit didn't win.

That's how sure I am that we'll win.

(How will the I-LAND vocal unit's performance go?)

Good, good.

(Dance unit I-LAND vs. GROUND)

(Dance unit in 2F practice room)

Wow, it's cool that there are three of us.

It's fascinating.

Wow, I love this place.

There's Koko, who won first place in the dance.

Juwon also majored in practical dance and did a lot of different genres.

I think we can win with this unit.

I think we need to choose a leader.

I think we need to choose a leader.

- Me? - Yes.

- Is it okay? - Yes.

Thank you.

(Son Juwon practicing choreography by herself)

I think I can do it.

(Dance unit has to pull off two different concepts)

(The first song of the I-LAND dance unit, "My Bag")

Le Sserafim.

Is this it?

Let's finish "My Bag" before dinner.

We memorized the choreography and got the details down.

I think we finished it quickly.

Since good dancers got together,

I don't think there's much to worry about.

100 points! The goal is to get 100 points!

(Will the I-LAND dance unit be able to achieve its goal?) Good. For real.

(GROUND)

Let's decide on the leader first.

Leader in our group.

I don't know if I can speak Korean well enough.

I'll be the leader of the overall unit,

but I want Yui to help lead the choreography.

- Is that all right? - Yeah.

Yuna, is that okay?

Okay.

As the leader, I thought I should become more aggressive

and do it more perfectly.

(Perfect leader mode ON)

Look to the front, Yuna!

(Oh Yuna has a difference in skills from the other two)

Again, again.

(Until it's ready! Sarang's infinite "again")

If you get it wrong, we'll repeat it!

We practiced hard without stopping because of Sarang.

Yuna, are you okay?

Yes!

Our name is GROUND,

but we'll perform at a level as high as I-LAND.

Okay.

Good! Let's move on.

Honestly, it was really hard.

(I-LAND creative unit started the choreography creation meeting)

How do we start?

How about making sure 2 units win no matter what, and

even if we lose, it should be just one unit losing.

The remaining ones.

We put all the good dancers into the dance unit.

I don't think it was differentiated from the creative unit.

I think the rest went to the creative unit.

Well then, shall we talk about it first?

How do we want to do it?

In fact, many friends have no experience in choreography creation,

so I was worried about some of them.

(Small group in charge of the intro part)

What can we do to make it feel like we're starting?

It's hard. It's my first time creating it.

Yes...

(Meanwhile, the two are in the same dilemma)

But how do we make a turn?

What are the ways of turning?

I've never created choreography before.

I don't know how to express it with my body.

Or if you go down like this,

The people next to me are... a bit...

To make it feel like it's spreading...

What do we do?

Since we're the creative unit,

we have to work with our original ideas.

I'm afraid I won't be able to express what I'm thinking.

(Kim Sujung getting ready to pull out ideas)

Oh, that's good, too.

Or...

(GROUND creative unit smoothly creating choreography)

Oh, that's good, too.

I am bringing all my creativity together to create a composition.

(Choreography created through all the creativity)

One, two, three. Slowly.

Lift.

We can do it with three people.

Open your legs.

Stretch out your legs.

Sorry, sorry. Thank you for your hard work.

It's working out incredibly well.

There are no blocks.

I am confident that we will finish it beautifully.

I think we'll win.

(I-LAND)

(In the middle of Unit Battle practice)

(I-LANDER refreshingly hydrating)

What?

I-LANDERS, please move to the 1F grand training room.

Why?

Huh? What is it?

- All of a sudden... - What is it?

- Let's go check it out. - It's scary.

(Unfamiliar silhouette entering I-LAND)

(1F Grand Training Room)

What's this?

This comes out during the interim check.

(Who is this woman visiting I-LAND?)

META BALL! META BALL!

Is it a person?

Are we supposed to get on?

(Who are you?)

(Special mentor Jeon Somi)

Hello!

It feels like a dream.

She's really pretty!

(Everyone is speechless at Jeon Somi's appearance)

Hello.

Hello.

Everyone! I came here for the interim check...

No, I'm not here for the interim check!

Don't worry.

I brought donuts.

(I love it)

Thank you.

I came here to have a great time with you

and play the role of a big sister today.

(Iconic star representing K-Pop)

(Final winner of an audition program)

(Solo queen Jeon Somi with unrivaled charm)

(2F Living Room)

I wish I could check into I-LAND, too.

I started when I was 15.

When I was 14, I participated in "Sixteen," where they chose members of TWICE.

I did "Produce 101" when I was 15 years old.

I was about the same age as you.

I know how living together with team members is.

I know the life of survival.

I have had many experiences where I can empathize with you.

It's so exciting!

(We're excited, too)

If you have any questions, please talk to me.

You were about to say something, right?

I think you were going to say something, but you swallowed it.

I...

I had a hard time being a trainee.

I'm curious about your trainee life.

Oh, really?

Yes!

Fuko, what is the difficult part about being a trainee?

I'm reminded of the hard times...

I was on a survival show before.

It's my second time trying it out.

(Fuko dreamed of becoming a girl group in "Girls Planet 999: The Girls Saga")

(But)

(Failed to pass the debut threshold and was eliminated in R1)

The friends who went on the show with me

are now active in the same company.

I felt like I was left alone as a trainee.

I felt like I lost myself from before I started being a trainee.

I think I threw away everything else except practice.

I'm going to go to practice again.

I thought, "If I can endure it now,"

to get through the hard times.

(Those past days she endured, dreaming of debut)

When it came to taking on the challenge of a survival program again,

I was really worried.

Since I've done it once, I know how hard it is.

I think I'll be extra shocked if I fail here again...

I feel anxious about not being able to debut...

I'm not sure if I can do it well.

I really want to debut.

I'm desperate for a chance to perform on stage.

I'm afraid I might not get that opportunity.

Now, because of my age... it's a bit...

There isn't much time left for me to be a trainee.

I don't think I'll give up, but I'm anxious.

But I understand Fuko so much.

I failed to be a part of TWICE.

At that time, I was jealous of them.

I'm so close to TWICE members, but...

Isn't there a reason why you wanted to be a singer?

That's why Fuko is here.

Why you want to be a singer.

What you're good at and your passion. You just have to show that.

I don't think I can do anything better than this.

For me, I-LAND is

another chance.

This time, it is an opportunity that I believe will come true.

I came here with the utmost sincere desires.

So on every stage, at every small opportunity,

I'm working really hard.

I am really desperate to be an idol.

First, "Absolutely debut! Nana."

If I can do my best like now, maybe I could debut.

I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

I can do it. I will debut here.

We need to keep going forward.

We have to keep thinking that we're going to rise above myself.

I really support you and think you can do it.

Just do it.

Thank you.

Felt like I had found someone who understood my feelings

that no one has understood before.

I felt like I was relieved all of a sudden.

Thank you so much.

(#With mentor Jeon Somi / #recharged_again_today / #See you after debut)

(Unit Battle has finally started)

They did it so well.

- It's so lingering. - I cried a bit.

(Fierce competition for I-LAND continues)

- She's a diva. - How do we evaluate this?

(Based on each unit's result, 3 are discharged from I-LAND! 3 join from the GROUND!)

I think we can definitely win.

I think the GROUND team will win.

I can't believe this.

The one eliminated is...

(I-LAND vs. GROUND, what is the result of Unit Battle?)

Half of the people in this GROUND came from I-LAND.

We must all go up.

I think all 9 of us will go up.

I think we have a perfect stage ready.

I'll go back to I-LAND.

There's no way we'll lose.

It'd be weird if we didn't win.

I believe we can win for sure.

There will be an elimination tomorrow.

So that I won't be a dropout,

I'll trust myself and perform.

I'll show everything without any regrets.

The last test of Part 1 determines the common destiny.

The Unit Battle begins now.

There will be 3 battles.

Every time an I-LANDER loses to a GROUNDER,

the number of dropouts will increase.

What they need now is only

victory.

I-LANDERS and GROUNDERS are divided into vocal, dance, and creative,

and battle in these three units.

It's a Unit Battle.

There will be an elimination, so the unit's victory isn't the only thing that matters.

Their individual score is also really important.

GROUNDERS must feel like they're on the edge.

(Countdown over)

(1F lobby)

So scared.

(Vocal unit is the first to go)

(I-LAND vocal unit: Choi Jungeun, Fuko)

(GROUND vocal unit: Kim Minsol, Yoon Jiyoon)

(Eliminated: 0)

Do we get the dropout results as soon as the vocal battle is over?

(The number of dropouts is immediately decided depending on the battle result)

Every time GROUND wins, 3 will be discharged from I-LAND

and 3 will come from GROUND.

So, I-LAND might have a maximum of 9 dropouts.

But...

I don't think that number will change.

(I-LANDERS full of confidence)

(GROUND)

(Yoon Jiyoon calmly gets ready)

I really don't want to regret it anymore.

Vocal unit, please go to the stage.

I was confident about my singing skills.

We can win for sure.

I fell short in all tests

so I want to do this one without any regrets.

Oh, my, so beautiful.

Is this Fuko?

Fuko seems to belong in a film awards ceremony.

(If there was a red carpet, this would be the awards ceremony)

I-LAND members are Choi Jungeun and Fuko.

Both of their strengths' are hitting high notes.

We're familiar with their singing skills individually,

but I can't wait to see how they'll sound together.

Are they watching us from there?

Oh, maybe.

- There are two seats. - They must be coming.

Oh, they're here.

So pretty.

It really looks like a film awards ceremony.

(During the Signal Song test)

Main vocalist, Yoon Jiyoon.

(But)

(After the interim check)

I think Choi Jungeun should carry the overall tone of the song.

Jungeun must decide on the parts so that we can change.

(Before: Yoon Jiyoon / After: Choi Jungeun)

Since it's for the team, we should forget it and focus.

(Choi Jungeun perfectly performed the main vocalist's part)

(and got the first place in the Signal Song test)

Yoon Jiyoon, please go to GROUND.

No way.

Just think about coming back.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

(Their destiny crisscrosses as survivor and dropout)

The GROUND unit looked confident with facial expressions and attitude.

That made me nervous.

GROUND members are Kim Minsol and Yoon Jiyoon.

I believe there's something special about Jiyoon's sentiment and tone.

Yoon Jiyoon has a really unique singing tone.

(Producer Taeyang had been watching Yoon Jiyoon's vocals)

Because of that, I feel even more disappointed.

Through I-LAND, I think the participants' skills are improving.

But singing will play a crucial role in deciding the debut group, in my opinion.

Right, they're singers.

I'm always looking for such a person.

We'll see their potential today.

Ah, vocal unit for sure,

we'll win.

I have no worries.

I'm curious.

Let's see how well they do.

I can't wait.

I-LAND vocal unit will start.

What's "Fine" by Taeyeon about?

It's about not being fine.

I'm not fine yet.

The lyrics are "It's not fine."

If Taeyeon sang it, the high note must be the highlight.

Not only the high note but the energy behind it

will touch people's hearts.

I wanted to make it happen

so we got guitar backing on "Fine."

You rearranged it so that we can hear the fine sentiments

- of vocalists. - Yes, that's right.

I can't wait.

(How will the I-LAND vocal unit perform?)

We will begin the interim check in a moment.

Vocal unit, please move to the stage on the META BALL.

The stage? Just us?

Go for it!

I thought we were all going together.

I'm kind of nervous.

I'm anxious.

It's okay. Let's just do what we practiced.

(META BALL arrives to the stage)

Just what we practiced.

(The stage is empty)

I'm nervous.

It feels weird to be just the two of us.

It's our first time as two people.

(Two others get on the META BALL)

(GROUND vocal unit: Kim Minsol, Yoon Jiyoon)

(Why are you coming out of there?)

I didn't know we were doing it together.

Honestly, I was a bit intimidated.

(I-LAND and GROUND vocal units' first encounter)

I won the Seesaw Game and got back to I-LAND.

Jiyoon and I were split up.

Now, we're competing against each other as vocal units.

I didn't expect to see her again like this. I got flustered.

All the good vocalists from I-LAND are here.

This is a real battle.

I'm confident.

(At the same time)

(A quartet heads onstage)

Looks good.

- So pretty. - This is the META BALL.

You just stand still.

(Who are the ones arriving at I-LAND guided by Monika?)

Hello.

Hello!

Hello.

(Special directors for the unit battle: Kim Jae Hwan, Lip J)

They're so pretty.

(A dancer's dancer, no introduction needed)

(Korean Empress of Waccking, Lip J)

(An all-rounder artist who can pull off any genre)

(Skilled vocalist Kim Jae Hwan)

An amazing vocalist came for us.

It was a dream come true.

We have special directors for you today.

I look forward to today's performances.

Don't be nervous. Show us everything you can.

- Fighting! - Thank you.

Let's see what you practiced for the interim check.

This reminds me of when I was a trainee.

Really?

Everyone was watching together.

(Almost 7 years ago)

(Frozen)

Jae Hwan? You could go down to F.

(A nightmarish memory comes to him)

(Vocal units will watch each others' interim checks)

Don't get intimidated by them.

Since we're watching each other,

I want to take this even more seriously.

Cue the music.

(How will I-LAND's vocal unit perform?)

They're good.

(Choi Jungeun's voice cracks)

We can win.

Thank you.

It was a little embarrassing.

Jungeun, at the end...

- I'm sorry. - Right?

That head voice range is too high for you, isn't it?

I was singing it backstage, and I think I lost my voice.

But you need to solve that.

If you can't do it in practice, you won't be able to do it onstage.

We can do well.

The opening verse felt really good.

But...

the start is important but take the bridge more seriously.

You should visualize the bridge and understand the words.

Okay.

I was disappointed in myself.

I didn't feel good about myself.

I'm a bit worried that we might lose.

(Kim Jae Hwan's vocal training follows the interim check)

Should we give it a go?

Okay, good.

Fuko, your emotional expression is great.

Jungeun, let's try the verse.

Listen to me.

Emphasize the "you."

You're just letting the words slip. Don't do that.

No. You have to underline it. Got it?

Again.

(Choi Jungeun's adlib part)

Don't just adlib the adlib.

It should have a story, too.

Until the last adlib.

Think about it more as talking rather than singing.

You're delivering each and every word.

He said my ability to express emotions is lacking.

I was concerned if I could deliver the emotion.

(I-LAND's vocal unit after the disappointing interim check)

"We'll live our separate lives" is such a sad lyric.

But I can't really put emotion into it.

During the interim check, she got feedback on her expression.

Don't just adlib the adlib.

It should have a story, too.

I wanted to help Jungeun.

When I listen to this song, I feel like crying.

It sounds like us.

♫ In a day, a month, a year ♫

♫ We'll live our separate lives ♫

We also don't know what's going to happen.

"In a day, a month, or a year, we'll live our separate lives."

That could come true.

♫ It's not fine ♫

We practiced and spent so much time together.

But to go to I-LAND,

we have to split up, battle against each other, and say goodbye.

We may look fine

but it's hard.

I'm sad.

Just like Fuko said, we had to say goodbye many times.

I feel sad, I feel bad, I miss people, I'm thankful.

I want to show that I can express those feelings with my voice.

I'll do my best, so I have no regrets.

I hope that I can put my emotions into it

and make the audience feel what I feel.

They're starting.

Focus.

("Fine" by Taeyeon)

Get into it.

They must have hand-written that.

Wow, they're good.

I'm going to cry.

What?

They were so good.

So good.

I'm getting chills.

I got chills at the end and almost teared up just a tiny bit.

Right?

They moved us.

This is what we needed to see.

Jungeun's vocals are so persuasive,

and Fuko captures the mood with her face.

Her eyes are so expressive.

They won.

So sad.

- They were so good. - Are you crying?

I'm so moved.

I thought they were very moving.

It felt great.

I was focused and in it until the very end.

I was so happy just being inside the song.

(Test complete)

They're such good singers.

- I'm feeling all the feels. - We're good, too.

We're better.

Our tones are going to slay.

They're up next right away.

GROUND is singing my song, "Eyes, Nose, Lips."

Musically speaking, it's a ballad, but it's a hard song.

You need to highlight each little emotion,

and at the same time, it's very rhythmical.

It'll sound bland if you don't sing it with a groove.

How were their harmonies during the interim check?

Jiyoon messed up the lyrics.

Jiyoon did.

(Day of the interim check)

Are you ready?

Yes.

It was the first time I was showing them just my singing.

I had high expectations for myself to do well.

Let's do it.

(Kim Minsol counts with her hands for Yoon Jiyoon)

(Yoon Jiyoon makes a mistake with lyrics)

(Can't focus and keeps messing up the lyrics)

Oh, my God.

(She even misses the timing of the adlib)

(Voice crack)

(Minsol also messed up the lyrics)

Aigoo.

I'm very surprised.

After hearing you two sing,

it would be meaningless to give my feedback.

You forgot your words,

you were out of tune, and you lost your voice.

I don't know what to tell you.

We did well during practice.

What happened?

Why do you think you were messing up the lyrics?

I think we got nervous.

You couldn't overcome the nerves?

I think you need to work harder.

You need to be more alert and put in more work.

Yes.

(Vocal unit's interim check complete)

Thank you.

Jiyoon, cheer up.

If you have something you want to say, go ahead.

I feel like I haven't shown you my full potential yet.

I really wanted to show you my best self this time.

(She had to give up her main vocal part in "Signal Song")

I could have done better.

(She had the lead for Seesaw Game but lacked confidence)

Jiyoon has so much to offer.

I don't know why I can't ever feel it.

I worked hard. But no one sees it.

If you practice too much and are anxious,

you can forget the words.

The only way to overcome that is to fully be in it.

Beyond your willingness to do well, if you really are in it,

you will surely give the performance you want.

You definitely have potential, Jiyoon.

(Yoon Jiyoon sits alone in GROUND)

I want to focus on this mission and be really, really good.

(GROUND vocal unit begins rehearsing)

We practiced separately because we had to copy the words.

I have a question.

When you practiced, did you practice together

or separately?

- I think we spent more time practicing separately. - Right?

(Their harmonies were not in sync)

Your chemistry on stage came in a bit short.

We'll be better once we practice together more.

Since we're singing together,

we should've practiced together more.

(Kim Minsol and Yoon Jiyoon practice with the feedback)

Are we in tune?

Are we in tune?

(I don't think so)

(Yoon Jiyoon's voice lesson)

(Is this right?)

Not that. Like this.

I knew Jiyoon was a good singer

but I didn't know how meticulous she was.

Your pitch got low.

The third note is a bit long.

You need to come in on the beat.

We did nothing but practice.

We only took breaks to eat. We just sang and sang.

So, my throat hurts a little.

Minsol, I really want to do well.

I want to show everything I have

and leave no regrets.

I'll give everything I have this time.

They look confident right now.

I've never seen that look from Jiyoon.

I hope they do well.

Let's go!

Hope they feel our energy.

If GROUNDERS win,

some I-LANDERS will be released.

Standby.

- Here we go. - Do well, please!

I can't wait.

("Eyes, Nose, Lips" by Taeyang)

Please, please, please...

Why is she so good today?

Her look is on point today.

Minsol is good, too.

- They're good. - Doing well.

Cute!

Great!

I'm speechless.

(One more fan here)

(The original artist loves it, too)

When someone exceeds expectations, it feels great.

- What? - That was so good.

(Vocal unit, you slayed!)

So good!

I'm going to cry.

I think we can win.

They were good.

But I think we did better.

(Test complete)

They did too well.

It might be a close match.

Minsol, we did so well.

We were 100 times better than the interim check.

That performance is still with me.

Both performances...

this is silly, but I teared up.

(A performance that made a grown man cry)

I teared up.

You are silly.

Dads are like that.

Directors, please give your feedback.

This is hard.

There are songs that are covered often.

Talented singers like to sing these numbers.

Honestly,

I didn't think both units would give such solid performances.

I enjoyed them.

The "Fine" team had better chemistry.

(I-LAND unit stood out with their chemistry)

They have such great chemistry.

I was surprised by Fuko.

You look like the main actress in a movie.

You make others focus on you.

Thank you.

As for the "Eyes, Nose, Lips" team,

I don't know why, but you gave me chills.

Jiyoon.

This is what you can do.

Have you been waiting for today?

Yes, I have.

That's why she was upset every time.

She has the skills,

and she was mad she couldn't show it.

I want to say this to Jiyoon.

I also have some darkness inside me.

But you can change that with your mindset.

You can get more depth and gravitas with that.

It's up to your mindset. Many things will come your way

and more missions. I hope you can get through them wisely.

I really hope you do.

Thank you.

As a trainee,

I really admired him and wanted to be like him.

I showed him my full potential this time.

I have no regrets, and I'm happy.

I'm happy. I have no regrets.

Me, neither.

I have no clue.

We need to determine the winner.

How are we going to evaluate them?

Gosh, they were both amazing.

Both units really pulled it off.

This is going to be hard.

In terms of teamwork...

I agree.

In terms of teamwork, the "Fine" team was better.

This is tough. It's tough because...

When Jiyoon sang, "Your dark eyes that were looking at me,"

I felt as if I was the one who broke up with her.

I only have compliments for them.

They were both terrific.

How about a tie? Can it be a draw?

I want to go home.

We will now reveal the results for the vocal units.

Please...

Please let them win.

- They'll win. - They were good.

(GROUNDERS root for them desperately)

Let I-LAND win.

To be honest, I wasn't sure.

Maybe we won. Maybe we lost.

I really want to win today.

(What's the result of the first Vocal Unit test?)

What?

(To be continued)

(What's the result of the first Vocal Unit test?)

What?

Please!

(GROUND wins)

(I-LAND loses by 1 point)

(I-LAND 0 vs. GROUND 1)

(GROUND wins the first unit battle)

We won!

By one point!

The vocal unit was the one we were most unsure about.

But when they won, things really brightened up in GROUND.

(Vocal unit brings GROUND's first victory)

Who's first place?

Jiyoon won by far for me. I want to see her again.

To be honest, I want to hear Jiyoon sing the full song.

She was the best one.

It's hard to sing a song that moves people,

and Jiyoon did it.

(I-LAND is shocked and speechless by the result)

Oh, what?

By 1 point?

I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it.

Good job, Minsol.

That was insane!

GROUND wins.

3 people in I-LAND will be released.

3 people in I-LAND will be released.

Seriously?

Please return to I-LAND and GROUND.

See you later.

Good job.

Good job.

I was confident about my singing.

I had a feeling this would continue to bruise my pride.

(Top vocalist Choi Jungeun's first defeat)

(Glorious homecoming for GROUND's vocal unit)

We saw everything.

(Yoon Jiyoon finally smiles)

Good job.

I knew you'd win.

I'm so happy.

The girls complimented me and said that I was good.

It was my first time receiving such praise.

I was really happy.

I'm really happy. I feel like I can fly.

It feels like a dream. I just can't believe it.

(Meanwhile, silence has fallen in I-LAND)

What do we do? We assumed the vocal unit would win.

I thought we were going to win for sure.

What do we do now? We lost from the start.

How are we going to face them now?

I don't want to go back.

Good job.

Well done.

Good work.

3 people will get released because of us.

I burst into tears out of guilt.

I'm sorry, everyone.

It's okay. Don't say that.

We have to win no matter what.

Dance unit to the stage, please.

Go rock the stage. Fighting!

Fighting, fighting!

We expected our vocal unit to win.

Now that they lost, some people will leave.

It made me feel more competitive.

Let's bring back victory.

Let's go rock the stage.

(What will become of I-LAND's dance unit?)

Director Monika worked a lot with the dance units.

Since they are a dance unit,

I made up some bold choreography for the music.

It means I didn't go easy on them!

You'll see it, but the formation changes almost every line.

You need to really understand the choreography.

That sounds very difficult.

- It's finally our time! - At last!

Let's have some fun.

- The META BALL is rotating now. - META BALL!

Let's show them.

It's finally time to show them.

Fighting!

Fighting.

(I-LAND's dance unit enters, determined look on their faces)

Oh, they look like gangsters.

They're walking up like gangsters. Very cool.

They have some swag.

It's real 90's style hip-hop.

They pull it off.

Look at Sarang's face. She's relaxed.

That little... oh, I'm sorry.

(Way too into it, overshares)

"That little..."

- I hope they do well. - Seriously.

Currently, GROUND has one win.

There will be 3 members released from I-LAND.

The performance that determine I-LAND's future now begins.

How were they during the interim check?

I was really surprised during the interim check.

(What happened during the dance units' interim check?

(The day of the interim check)

Are you ready to show us the choreography?

Yes, we are.

I'm going up against Son Juwon again.

I'm personally very close with Juwon.

Ever since I was a trainee, I've always competed against her.

Now we are competing here again.

(They competed to be the center of the signal song)

It's Juwon.

(How will this match turn out?)

I wonder if this rivalry is really fate.

It hasn't been long since you got the choreography. How was it?

Because for I-LAND,

and their unit's choreography, I'm playing an important part.

I got slightly involved.

(Lip J co-created the choreography for I-LAND's dance unit)

The original choreographer is right in front of me.

She may have high expectations.

I want to do my best so that I don't disappoint her.

(I-LAND's dance unit shows off their practiced dance skills)

Oh! They're so good.

Oh! They're so good.

Okay, let's try the 2nd song.

Let's go, let's go!

(I-LAND dance unit continues with the 2nd song)

(Standing ovation)

(I-LAND Dance Unit finishes interim check successfully)

Wow, you remixed two songs in two days and danced them.

Great job, and you'll be even better onstage.

You'll be even better onstage. I look forward to it.

I enjoyed it very much. Well done.

Thank you.

I enjoyed it very much.

But as much as I enjoyed it,

I was also disappointed a little.

The two songs go back to back.

But the look and vibe of the two songs are very different.

(Two songs that must be expressed very differently)

Okay, let's try the 2nd song.

The two songs felt too similar.

The swaggy, bad girl finishes the first song.

The second song should feel more like

it's sung by a confident, courageous woman.

The two songs should feel separate.

Well done.

Thank you.

GROUND, are you nervous?

- Yes. - You saw them do that. Let's go.

Yes!

Oh, no... They must be really nervous.

Ready.

(How will GROUND perform for the interim check?)

Wow, they cut their teeth.

So lively!

(The second song begins with a totally new vibe)

Oh, she's good.

Ryu Sarang is really good!

Ryu Sarang is really good!

Yui is on fire!

Oh, my God!

Bravo! Wow, wow, wow.

(Standing ovation)

Slayed it.

Oh, my God!

How were they?

- Better than we thought. - They're good.

I never imagined that you'd understand the concept this well.

I was ready to say something that would help your delivery,

but you already understand the concept.

Honestly, I don't really like to compare.

Honestly, I don't really like to compare

but I liked the GROUND team better than the I-LAND team.

I liked the GROUND team better.

Thank you.

Sarang, you carried the song so well.

You were the leader.

I think you did a good job of grounding the whole performance.

- Great job. - Thank you.

(Dance units' interim check complete)

I don't know...

How was it?

The GROUND team was so much better than we thought.

Sarang's facial expressions are on point.

I don't know...

After seeing them, I thought they were way better than I had thought.

I'm worried.

What if people get released because of us?

I'm still nervous.

(1F Grand Training Room)

(Bootcamp for the I-LAND dance unit with Monika)

First, your moves are very clean.

But that's it.

That's all you have.

For every other beat, you need to be mindful of your face.

Be aware of whether you're smiling or frowning.

Dance with your face.

(Will they bring face to the dance as Monika advised?)

Face!

Juwon, you need to give face right here.

You're not giving any face right now, Juwon.

Juwon, face. You're not giving face.

You're making the same facial expression the whole time.

I don't like the no face here!

I don't like the no face here!

Juwon, don't let your face die.

You're a queen!

(No)

Juwon, it feels like you only have one character.

I wish you had more facial expressions.

There's not much range.

I don't know if you're aware of it,

but when you sing, you frown more than you think.

Every time I perform, my face and vibe are always the same.

It's always been one-note.

Do you only know how to look annoyed?

Do you only know how to look annoyed?

I don't think so. You can be elegant, sexy, and relaxed.

(Son Juwon is deep in thought after the boot camp with Monika)

Why is this so hard?

Then...

Do you only know how to look annoyed?

(Son Juwon is unable to focus when rehearsal restarts)

I was worried about Juwon losing her strength.

What's wrong?

Don't you think...

we should change who the leader is?

We have one day.

We only have one more day left.

I'm the leader.

But I feel like I'm ruining the whole vibe.

I feel so irresponsible.

You do look like you're struggling.

Come on, come on!

I'm having a really hard time.

I know, you looked like it.

I've lost confidence since the interim check,

and I'm afraid it's not working out.

I thought I was doing very poorly as a leader,

so I felt sorry for the members.

Still, I'll be responsible during the rest of our time

and I will really do my best.

Facial expression from the very beginning!

(Leader Son Juwon tries to cheer up again)

Juwon,

just make it big, and your facial expression will follow naturally.

- Oh! Oh! Oh! - Really?

(Then what about this?)

Love it!

(Compliment makes even Juwon dance)

I'll practice hard!

I had a lot of ups and downs,

and now, I just want to do well without any regrets

(How will the I-LAND dance unit perform?)

So crazy!

It's like Hollywood.

((G)I-DLE - "My Bag" + Le Sserafim - "Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard's Wife (Rina Sawayama Remix)")

Wow, what's with Koko?

Koko is so good.

Ah, so sexy!

Juwon's expression is really good.

(Our team is so good!)

So cool!

Great facial expressions!

(I-LAND dance unit's 2nd song with the opposite atmosphere)

However, the image and vibe of the first and second songs are very different.

In the second song, it should feel more like you're a confident woman.

Transformation!

Ha!

What?

Oh, Son Juwon.

- Oh, her look. - Well done.

Juwon is really good.

Wow, so flexible!

It got more refreshing.

I fell in love with Juwon so much now.

It's crazy.

(Amazing!)

We won.

The vibe is really different from ours.

I think they've gotten so much better with their facial expressions.

I think they've gotten much better at expressing themselves on stage.

Not excessive, natural, and cool.

I feel like we poured everything we practiced into it.

It wasn't bad.

Next is the GROUND dance unit's performance.

Babes, please send me to I-LAND!

Sarang definitely practices really hard.

She seems like it.

She's such a perfectionist.

Looking forward to it.

Standby.

Fighting!

I've experienced GROUND enough.

I'll go back to I-LAND again.

(How will GROUND dance unit perform?)

I'm even more nervous.

(BTS - "MIC Drop (Steve Aoki Remix)" + Kiss of Life - "Sugarcoat (NATTY solo)")

It's crazy. I'm getting goosebumps.

So cool. What is that?

It's no joke, right?

In 2024, the unprecedented iconic collaboration girl group will be created.

I-LAND 2 N/a.

Dear I-MATES, have you found your I?

Support begins with your support for I.

You can participate in the official voting app.

The counterattack of GROUND.

Nice.

Good job.

We had a lot of rediscoveries.

It's hard to tell who was better.

Both teams were neck and neck.

Maybe all 9 people could move up.

** people are discharged to GROUND.

(Part 1's last test)

This test isn't a team match,

but a one-on-one match of two people in the same position.

If you win, you will enter Part 2.

If you lose, you have to wait for I-MATES' voting result.

It doesn't matter. I can beat anyone.

I must advance, and I will advance.

Based on the Unit Battle result,

the eliminated person is...

Although I saw it coming, I was still really upset.
