(Stage Fighter)

(Kim Yu Chan, 13 years old)

I started ballet when I was in fifth grade.

My mother recommended it.

My younger sister started ballet first.

My older sister does ballet,

and I started after watching her do it.

The hardest part to get used to when I first started ballet...

was the fact that I had to wear tights.

Like, "How can a man wear those?"

I think I was in sixth grade.

I went to the academy after I started dancing,

and I was the only boy.

I was wearing tights and a tight top.

I was afraid of getting teased for it.

I was so ashamed.

"A man wears tights?"

Those prejudices were hard on me.

I said, "I'd never wear tights. I'm not going to do ballet."

Then, I went to watch it, and they were so cool.

A male dancer in tights was dancing.

And the grains and shapes of the man's muscles...

looked so cool.

I wanted to be like them.

I immediately thought that I wanted to do it.

But when I wore them,

my physique showed too explicitly.

He's got the best lines.

- He has beautiful lines.
- Yes.

The overall lines of my body change...

if I miss just a day of exercise.

It just ends...

If you don't stick to harsh self-management.

I had no idea the tights meant so much.

Ballet is a type of art in which we have to strive...

every day to perfect our bodies and lines.

And the tights mean our effort, passion...

And sweat.

Ballet is a type of art that you can't fake on the stage.

You wear these things called tights...

that show every part of your body and stand there.

So, dancers always have to strain our bodies.

Knowing that this art is...

a battle that starts and ends with fighting against oneself,

in which one constantly strives...

to better showcase their strengths,

I am touched deeply, and it makes me sympathetic.

(The art of graceful movements expressed with relentless effort,)

(ballet)

The moment I first put on those tights,

my life began.

- Again...
- We...

- Wear tights...
- And dance.

- Yes!
- Yes!

(Stage Fighter)

Dancers express things with their bodies.

That's why our first audition begins by talking about our bodies.

Physical and Technique Audition.

(Physical and Technique Audition)

Korean dancers'...

(Korean Dance Physical and Technique Audition)

(The battle of techniques so gentle yet powerful)

Nice.

I'm shocked.

(Contemporary dance Physical and Technique Audition follows.)

He's a good jumper.

(The athletic dancers have fierce dance-offs.)

They have great techniques.

(Their classes are first determined through this audition.)

(And the day of the Class Battle has come.)

(You don't know what it took for me to get here.)

I think he should go to First.

Please switch places.

My final chance to move up to First.

Shouldn't I be in the First Class?

- Change.
- Me too.

This is horrible. Why do survivals have to be so harsh?

(STF Dance Company)

(Physical and Technique Audition continues.)

(Today's genre is...)

(contemporary dance.)

(Their locker room is painted blue, representing contemporary dance.)

(Who's the first contemporary dancer to enter?)

It says, "Stage Fighter."

"Stage Fighter."

- We're actually doing this.
- I know.

(The two dancers seem pretty close.)

"Physical and Technique Audition Judging Groups?"

Determining the classes of Stage Fighter...

- Contemporary dancers...
- Korean dancers...

- Ballerinos...
- Their first audition.

Physical and Technique Audition begins now.

The audition will be held in groups,

which are chosen by yourselves.

Only the final survivor will be given...

the First Class.

(Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition Judging Groups)

(They get to decide whom to go against.)

A, B, C, D, E, F.

Being number 1 among 4 dancers sounds pretty easy.

Only 1 dancer gets to be in the 1st Class.

So, 6 dancers will be in the 1st Class.

- Should I go with Seong Yun?
- You're going to the Under Class.

The two were classmates, and they chose different groups.

Are they avoiding each other?

I'm going to the First Class, so I choose this group.

- See you in the 1st Class.
- See you in the 1st Class.

I think we're deciding on classes.

(The 1st 2 contemporary dancers to choose their judging groups)

(Gulping)

Hi. I'm a 25-year-old contemporary dancer, Kim Young Woong.

I started when I was 16,

and I've competed in contests for seven years.

Last year, I got a great prize...

in an international competition

So I realized that I could do it and should keep on doing it.

My jumps are pretty high.

And my legs are flexible,

so I do the fish pretty well by jumping up and dropping.

I can pull off pretty much all dance moves.

I'm confident.

(Who's the other dancer that came with him?)

Jeong Bin and I are from Sejong University.

We're from the same year, so we're pretty close.

We both seem to think we are better than the other.

We argued a lot when we were in school.

We're always like, "You're better. I'm better."

When it comes to physique, I'll probably win.

My body is so fit that I could even be a model.

I won't be intimidated by anyone.

I'd like to compete with him while I'm here.

Gosh.

(Will the two choose the same judging group?)

Which group are you going for?

I'll go to Group B.

(He chooses one without hesitation.)

(Young Woong chose Group B right away.)

(Deliberating)

(Which group will Jeong Bin choose?)

And you?

You want to go together?

(Awkward)

(Grinning)

Should we?

I'm better.

I'm confident I'll beat him skill-wise.

(Which group will Jeong Bin choose?)

(Curious)

I'll choose Group D.

(Jeong Bin chose a different group.)

We should both place first.

And we'll go against each other on a bigger stage.

I'm going to do my best, so he should also do his best.

I believe it'll be more fun to compete on a higher stage.

This is gorgeous.

I like it.

(Excited)

(Amazed)

Is it like a locker room for athletes?

(Contemporary Dance Locker Room)

I'll choose this one.

(They choose their lockers.)

What? Are these gifts?

- Yes!
- This is great.

This would make the perfect practice shirt.

Thank you.

I felt a lot better.

(Happy)

Do we have to wait until all the others come?

- Who do you think will be here?
- Will they be from our school?

Probably.

(Startled)

(Another dancer's profile is on the screen.)

(Surprised)

He's from K-Arts.

(Korea National University of Arts, entered in 2016)

(Another K-Arts graduate's profile is up.)

They're all from K-Arts.

This could get pretty tough.

I saw the name Korea National University of Arts...

and thought they'd be good.

(Who are the next contemporary dancers?)

I'm 26 years old.

I'm Kwon Yo Han, a contemporary dance major.

I'm Yang Seong Yun, a contemporary dancer.

Seong Yun and I graduated from the same school.

We entered Korea National University of Arts in 2016.

The classmates who entered in 2016 are...

all unique and skillful.

They say that we're the golden class.

Is this it?

- You should go first.
- Gosh.

Dong Hoon was a senior at school.

He was already famous before he graduated.

Hi, I'm a 29-year-old contemporary dancer, Go Dong Hoon.

I entered K-Arts in 2014.

I played ssireum before I started dancing.

Maybe it's because I fought in the ssireum ring,

but I like rough moves.

People say that my movements are like those of animals.

(His strength is his raw expressions and animal-like movements.)

I'm like a wild animal.

And I turned out to have great techniques.

Some floor techniques are the rainbow and the fish.

Some air techniques are the belt,

the Aoya,

and the swan.

There's another thing called the nuclear bomb.

My techniques are second to none.

Isn't K-Arts the best dance school there is?

- It is.
- Yes.

As K-Arts graduates, we should honor our school.

He entered in 2014.

But we entered in 2019.

He's a senior.

But there are no seniors or juniors here.

The best dancer is the senior.

(Glaring)

(Opening)

(The senior enters.)

But there are no seniors or juniors here.

Hello.

(The juniors couldn't be more polite.)

(Standing)

I guess we put our name tags on the lockers to use them.

(He uncrosses his legs in front of his senior.)

(He doesn't know where to look.)

(There's only silence in the room as the seniors enter.)

(Peeking)

(Silently exchanging a look)

(Coughing)

(Wary)

The air is pretty cold.

He was a senior, so I was wondering which group he chose.

Could he have chosen the same group as me?

(The judging groups are revealed.)

(Looking up)

There it is.

(All 3 of them chose different groups.)

We had to choose the empty groups...

since we were the first to get here.

(That's true, senior.)

It's about time the other dancers got here.

(Two more dancers are choosing their groups.)

Which group are you choosing?

I think I should avoid the dancers from our school.

Either Group C or Group E.

- Group C or Group E?
- Yes.

As far as I know, Yang Seong Yun is from K-Arts.

(Which group will Ryu Tae Young choose?)

(Contemporary Dance Locker Room)

(Looking)

- Okay.
- Seong Yun, you have a competitor.

(Relieved)

Seong Yun has a competitor.

You're the first one to have a competitor.

Who could have chosen it? Let's find out.

You're popular.

But I don't want to be popular in a place like this.

(Gulping)

(Opening)

(Entering)

(Who's the dancer that chose Seong Yun's group?)

- Hello.
- Hello.

(He fixes his hair as his competitor enters.)

(Tae Young walks in while flapping his long hair.)

(And another man with long hair can't take his eyes off him.)

(Seong Yun has always watched Tae Young from behind.)

(Shaking)

(Why is that?)

That long hair suits you so well. I should have cut mine.

I look like a man in the wild.

(The judging groups are revealed.)

(Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition Judging Groups)

- Oh, no.
- Oh, this is how they show us.

He must have thought that I was an easy opponent.

I didn't feel so good about that.

I'm not particularly worried that he's from K-Arts.

Starting now, we will all have competitors.

You're right.

They're our competition. This is getting interesting.

I hope they come soon.

(Stamping his foot)

I'll crush them.

I'll choose Group A because I'm surely going to win.

(Kim Tae Gang chooses Group A.)

Group A.

(Oh Hyeok Heon chooses Group D.)

I'll go for Group E.

(Choo Seok Ho chooses Group E.)

(Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition)

They didn't put their names beside mine.

I wonder who will.

Let's do this together.

(Kwon Yo Han and Kim Tae Gang will compete in Group A.)

(Jung Hye Seong and Choo Seok Ho will compete in Group E.)

You put your name beside mine because you missed me, didn't you?

(As if I would.)

I'm suddenly getting angry.

(Judging Groups Register)

This is scary.

I want to dance with him.

I like the middle, so Group C.

I'll choose Group D.

(Kim Seung Wook, Ha Won Jun, Lee Jeong Hoon)

There's only one person in Group F.

As I'd thought, they didn't put their names beside mine.

I think everyone would avoid you.

Go Dong Hoon is a scarily good dancer.

I thought, "I shouldn't get near him."

"Who will go to Go Dong Hoon?"

I kept feeling nervous about it.

Who will I go against? I can't wait to find out.

I'll beat whoever comes.

(Who is the next dancer at the Judging Groups Register?)

(Surprised)

(Shocked)

Hyeok Jung is here.

Look at the list of awards.

- "Gundam Muscles?" - He looks strong.

He has really good muscles.

His muscles are compact.

He is like a deer with a fit body.

I am a wild boar.

(A deer with a fit body)

Hello. I am a 29-year-old contemporary dancer,

Yoon Hyeok Jung.

My body shape from my shoulders and below is like "Gundam."

I was born very thin,

so I built up...

my body from scratch.

I just worked really hard as if my life was on the line.

(His dancing career he created with his life on the line)

I think I have the fittest body...

among dancers.

It'll be really fun if Hyeok Jung joins my group.

(Right here.)

He must be talking about it. "Dong Hoon is here."

He must have mentioned me.

(His beast-like instincts activate.)

(Judging Groups Register)

(Sighing)

Go Dong Hoon?

He is my friend.

Should I join his group?

Dong Hoon has his strengths,

but I wasn't very concerned about him.

I'm the best.

Hyeok Jung is really cool. I'll admit that.

But if having a beautiful body was all that mattered,

they would've invited models to dance, don't you think?

(Which group did Contemporary Dancer Yun Hyeok Jung choose?)

(He enters.)

Is he here? Welcome.

(The two dancers finally meet)

Let's see which group you joined.

(There!)

(Group E: Jung Hye Seong, Choo Seok Ho, Yun Hyeok Jung)

(Group F: Go Dong Hoon)

(After contemplating, Hyeok Jung joins Group E.)

I'm outstanding. I'm the only one.

I was going to join your group.

But I thought, "I'll fight you next time."

Why, are you scared already?

Actually, I wasn't scared at all.

Hyeok Jung went to Group E because he was scared of me.

Why?

All he can do is the gainer.

(Technique I'm confident in: Gainer)

I'm at a loss for words.

I don't know what to say.

(The two contemporary dancers check the dancers' names.)

Here?

(I see!)

He...

must be good. Everyone avoided him.

Dong Hoon. We're in the same school and are the same age.

Hello. I am a 29-year-old contemporary dancer,

Kim Hyun Ho.

Currently, I am a dancer in Ambiguous Dance Company.

My nickname is...

Tiger Hyun.

A tiger has a very strong energy.

When I need to show something or pull something off,

I turn on the switch to such energy.

I started off dancing with breakdance,

so I can do what others can't.

Fancy techniques...

and strong energy.

I'm most confident in the windmill, a breakdance technique.

I don't know how many carnivores are on the show,

but they'll be good prey for me.

- Goodness.
- It's Hyun Ho.

"Windmill?" No way.

He's finally here.

Windmill. It's so different.

Hyun Ho's technique makes him roll on the floor,

and I mostly jump and roll midair.

We're complete opposites.

So I thought it might be better to avoid him.

Let's see.

- Please don't join Group C.
- My goodness.

What?

(Very shocked)

(Revealing Tiger Hyun's judging group!)

(Group F: Go Dong Hoon, Lee Jin Woo, Kim Hyun Ho)

Both of them? Suddenly?

Suddenly?

Group F will be fun to watch.

My group suddenly became strong.

Why did both of them join?

Because they thought it'd be easy.

(Laughing)

- Hey, be quiet. Don't fool around.
- What?

What did I say?

He makes me stand up from my seat.

You won't have a second chance.

When you go against me, you'll be nothing but a squid.

(He is not affected at all.)

Seriously...

(The deer versus wild boar match, to be continued)

- Welcome.
- Hello.

Hello.

(Welcome!)

(Tiger Hyun enters.)

Hyun Ho, will you be fine going against me?

(STF OST, the fight theme, "Dangerous")

(Yes.)

I thought it'd be nice for those born in 1995 to be grouped together.

- Get nervous.
- Okay.

I think I'll beat everyone easily.

He said he wanted to enjoy dancing with others born in 1995.

But this is a competition. He can't enjoy it.

Who is next?

When are you coming? Hurry up.

Who is it?

(Determined princess, Brown eyes, Aiming for 1st place only)

Jin Ho is here.

(Surprised)

We have two international competition winners so far.

The guy sitting all the way in front.

(Yun Hyeok Jung won a silver medal in an international competition.)

He is a princess.

"Determined Princess."

(Loud footsteps suddenly echo in the locker room.)

(Stomping)

(What is this?)

(What is this?)

Is the sound coming from upstairs?

Is he walking barefoot?

(Impressed)

(The princess looks around carefully.)

Should I remove my shoes?

(Removing his shoes to enter a practice room)

(He is the first dancer to remove his shoes and enter.)

(Neat)

(Stomping)

(He stomps barefoot.)

(A rather fierce-looking Princess Jin Ho arrives.)

I am Park Jin Ho, a 26-year-old contemporary dancer.

When I prepare for my performance,

I keep changing my makeup and take a very long time to do so.

Some girls saw it...

and called me princess.

Is the makeup going to be heavy?

Do you not like heavy makeup?

I like it.

(Princess Jin Ho checks his face!)

It's important to be an eye-catching dancer.

I am very mindful of my appearance, including my physique.

My rival?

(Who is Determined Princess' rival?)

Yun Hyeok Jung.

I'm a bit concerned about him.

We're too similar.

("My current rival is Yun Hyeok Jung. We are similar in many ways.")

I often heard our body shapes...

and movements were similar.

I like emphasizing my body shape,

and so does Jin Ho.

Hyeok Jung uses his legs well.

Kicking with his legs and so on.

I'm also confident in kicks and turning leaps, the techniques...

that use my legs.

So I consider him my rival.

They didn't show which group he chose.

They didn't.

(Which group did Park Jin Ho choose?)

I wonder which group you chose.

(A meaningful smile)

(Group E: Yun Hyeok Jung, Park Jin Ho)

(Park Jin Ho chose Group E which has Yun Hyeok Jung.)

That's a fun group.

(It will be a big match.)

- Let's compete.
- Yes.

You joined that group? You made a mistake.

This group looked easy.

(Sucking in his breath)

You'll regret it.

(Excited)

(Meanwhile, he is humming while checking his competitors...)

(in front of the Judging Groups Register.)

(A very relaxed dancer)

Two in Group A, two in Group B.

Out of the names on the wall,

there was no name that I felt competitive against.

I'm not scared at all.

(Contemporary dance's Premier League, From Ultima Vez)

Chang Min is here.

He's finally here.

"Ultima Vez."

"Ultima Vez." He won.

Dancer Lee Chang Min. We were classmates.

Dancer Lee Chang Min...

- Lee Chang Min...
- Dancer Lee Chang Min.

He is so good.

Ultima Vez is a dance company in Belgium.

It's one of the top three biggest dance companies.

He went to Europe,

did an audition when he had nothing,

and joined Ultima Vez.

I think he is the best contemporary dancer.

Hello. I am Lee Chang Min,

a 27-year-old contemporary dancer.

Nice to meet you.

My dance could remind you of an animal.

I challenge the limits of my body.

I roll, fall, and collide nonstop.

I could divide the techniques into three.

Rolling on the floor,

jumping,

and turning.

I think I'm good at them all.

Which group will he choose?

I wonder which group he'll join.

- Me too. I can't wait to find out.
- Yes.

This is scary.

Group A? It's either you or me.

I think I'll get eliminated.

I hope he doesn't join Group C.

I'll give up on becoming First Class if he joins mine.

You should bite him with all you have.

I felt a bit of rivalry against Chang Min.

Chang Min dances like a beast too.

I think he might look a bit similar to me.

Contemporary dancers prefer...

animal-like movements.

Contemporary dancers are beasts.

We like animalistic movements.

We're wild animals.

He is like a deer with a fit body.

A Dobermann onstage.

Tiger Hyun.

(Welcome to the Contemporary Zoo with various animals!)

(He will make everyone in the zoo tremble in fear.)

The lion is here.

(The strongest lion arrives.)

(The lion enters.)

To me, they looked like they were looking at a lion...

that appeared in the jungle,

instead of looking at a competitor.

(The locker room becomes silent at the arrival of the lion.)

(Which group did Dancer Lee Chang Min choose?)

I think Chang Min will be superior.

I don't want to go against Lee Chang Min.

- Chang Min.
- He chose the group in the middle.

Darn it, why did he join my group?

(Yo Han is relieved.)

There are Groups B and D, so why...

Me? I'm more comfortable with Seong Yun than Yo Han.

(One is happy, and one is sad.)

I wanted to avoid competing with him.

On the other hand, I was confident because I knew what he could do.

The first place still hasn't arrived.

I think he'll arrive last.

The physical check ranking.

I got 19, a joint 2nd place.

Someone must've gotten a perfect score.

When a dancer stands on the stage,

their body is the most obvious thing the audience can see.

We use our bodies to dance,

so we need to keep ourselves fit...

to dance with high quality.

When you have a good physique,

your dance stands out more.

I think it's a very important aspect in contemporary dancing.

(Where did the contemporary dancers visit?)

(A physical care center for Stage Fighter's dangers)

(From a simple physical check-up...)

(to body composition analysis)

We will evaluate your movements with four exercises.

They are movements to test the physical abilities...

that are necessary for dancers.

(Shaking)

(They are not easy for dancers either.)

(Mobility check)

- Pull. Okay.
- I'm embarrassed.

I really want to score a five.

It was a bit lacking for 5, so I'll give you 4.

Okay.

- I'll give you a three.
- Okay.

Did anyone score a five?

Five for push-ups.

(I did it.)

- Five.
- Thank you.

He's here.

- He scored a 19.
- He still scored a 19.

(Feeling a sense of rivalry)

- He is 185cm.
- He's tall.

He is as tall as a model.

He is 23cm taller than me.

(No way.)

He must be the tallest.

Seong Yun, you're 185cm.

Four, not five.

(He misses being the tallest because of just 1cm.)

(Opening wide)

(The arrival of two men makes the locker room's atmosphere tense.)

- Hello.
- Hello.

(Why are the dancers surprised as soon as they enter?)

(Surprised)

(The two dancers are wearing revealing clothes.)

Why are you guys practically naked?

You should've worn something inside.

Today, I felt my shoulder muscles were pumped up better than usual,

and so were my abs.

I was confident of these parts ever since I started dancing.

You have nice hips.

(Two hands wrapped around it stably)

Can you see how pretty they are just from looking?

They're as hard as a rock, so they are rocks.

(Rocks)

I have a straight upper body and long arms.

I think I'm quite tall,

which gives me an advantage.

(Two dancers with strong physiques)

Oh, dear.

(He omits the rest.)

They have fierce bodies.

They show our physical check rankings?

- What was my rank?
- Second place.

Really?

(Three physical check silver medalists)

(Tiger Hyun, Rock Hips June Hyuk, Contemporary Lion Lee Chang Min)

I want to see who got the full score.

I wonder who won first place.

I want to see him.

He must be scary.

(The arrival of the physical check 1st place)

Gosh, 20 points.

- He is in 1st place.
- He is in 1st place.

(Murmuring)

Hye Hyun.

Even in the picture, he has wide shoulders.

First place in the physical check is very impressive.

Twenty points.

He has an outstanding physique.

(Feeling a sense of rivalry)

First, squats, five points.

Second, push-ups, five points.

Bird dog, rotational stability, five points.

And balance, five points.

You scored 20 out of 20.

(Kim Hye Hyun scored 20 out of 20, placing 1st in the physical test.)

- You're in the top one percent.
- Really?

You have a very amazing...

Thank you.

Hello. I am Kim Hye Hyun,

a 22-year-old contemporary dancer.

When I was young, I lived in Africa for seven years.

I think I exercised more than I studied then.

As a dancer, I am confident...

in my physique.

I am springy and flexible.

So I use a lot of movements...

that require difficult physical techniques.

Jump techniques and floor techniques.

I can do almost everything.

I felt that Dancer Kim Hye Hyun was my rival.

"He's got something."

He reminds me of a kangaroo.

A kangaroo looks very cute too.

But when a kangaroo decides to move,

it becomes very fierce.

I was going to jump the Aoya, but I changed my mind.

You're still tall. You should beat him with that.

He's handsome.

He is.

(He is.)

(Turning around)

(What did you say, my friend?)

- Hello.
- Hello.

(Keeping him in check)

(Eyes fixed on him)

- I wonder which he chose.
- What?

The judging group.

Either Group A or B.

Dancer Kim Hye Hyun's physical test ranking...

It won't be easy.

He has a very good physique.

I wanted to avoid being in the same group.

(Which judging group did Kim Hye Hyun...)

(with good physique and techniques choose?)

(Group A: Kim Eun Hyuk, Kim Hye Hyun)

Group A.

(Kim Hye Hyun chose Group A with Kwon Yo Han.)

Can you beat him in terms of physique?

No, I can't.

(Sobbing)

I'll be at an advantage in terms of technique.

He won't be an easy opponent.

(Worried)

I wonder who the last dancer is.

It must be someone we all know.

(Ta-da)

Who is it?

- Who is it?
- I Ban?

(Who is he?)

(A fighter, A fusion dancer, I am always the lead dancer)

"Street Woman Fighter?"

He was on Season One of "Street Woman Fighter?"

During CocaNButter's mixed gender mission...

(I remember.)

(He first appeared...)

(with "Street Woman Fighter" crew's cheers!)

I did the Man of Woman mission...

with CocaNButter.

I am Dancer I Ban.

I don't do pure dancing,

but I mix contemporary dance and street dance harmoniously.

I don't want to be defined as a contemporary dancer.

Nor do I want to be defined as a pure dancer.

I am just I Ban.

I joined the show...

to be acknowledged as who I am.

He didn't major in contemporary dance.

Will he be fine?

I didn't expect him to not have majored in it.

He has a lot of weapons,

but he has no technique he is confident in.

(Technique I'm confident in: None)

He'll have a hard time with the technique mission.

If he came here without any technique,

is he a really good dancer?

I think he thought it would be easy...

because he was on "Street Woman Fighter."

That's what I think. A non-major...

(A non-major...)

(The final contemporary dancer arrives.)

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Hello, nice to meet you.
- Hello.

(Glancing)

(Scanning)

(Glancing)

I thought they considered me as an outsider.

Honestly, I don't even think...

they felt a sense of rivalry against me.

It really felt like, "Who is he?"

I Ban, you wrote "None" for the technique you were confident in.

Yes. I've never done any technique before.

Really?

But you wrote for your advantage that you had a lot of weapons.

(Confused)

Did you mean ammunition?

(Flustered)

I do have guns and knives.

(Smacking his lips)

I felt like they were looking down on me.

I thought, "Has it started?"

(Group F: Go Dong Hoon, I Ban)

(Contemporary Dance Group F is completed with I Ban.)

I can't imagine what I Ban will be like.

He is like a Pandora's box.

He did say he didn't have any technique.

But other skills that he has... He is a variable.

I Ban. I have no information about him.

I don't know how he dances.

Only 1 person can become 1st Class, right?

It's finally complete.

(Stage Fighter's 24 contemporary dancers have all gathered.)

(Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition Judging Groups)

Only 1 person can become 1st Class, right?

One from each group.

Then it's one of you guys.

I'll take it.

You can't.

Become Under.

Was it Group E? There was one impossible group.

- I pick Group E.
- Group E.

Two of them won in international competitions.

Yun Hyeok Jung is good, and so is Jin Ho.

It will be really intense.

It would've been bad if I had gone there.

(Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition will start soon.)

(Gather at the dance studio on the 2nd basement floor.)

Everyone had a great physique.

(Removing the top)

(Muscular)

(The contemporary dancers are preparing for the audition.)

Real men. Beasts.

They all seemed to have great physiques.

- Their bodies are lively.
- They were no joke.

They all had good physiques.

I looked at them while exclaiming.

Is being tan a trend in Hanyang University nowadays?

It's summer.

- It's summer.
- Yes.

I hope it is a physical test...

- so it won't be so stressful.
- Exactly.

"Physical and Technique Audition?" What is it?

It sounds like you need to be strong and muscular.

Stamina test? Are we doing physical tests?

I cannot imagine what mission it'll be.

(STF Dance Company)

(The 24 contemporary dancers have gathered for the audition.)

(At that time)

This is insane.

What a man.

- Look at his body.
- He is so muscular.

(Contemporary Dance Coach Seong Chang Yong...)

(arrives with charisma.)

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

Seong Chang Yong is at the top of the top.

I was astonished.

I really love him as a dancer.

He is the master of techniques.

(Another contemporary dance coach enters after him.)

I was dazed.

I saw the light shine behind her.

(The heroine who took over "Dancing 9...")

(with her natural-born talent and dance)

- She is the absolute best.
- I aspire to be like her.

I am her big fan,

so it felt like I was looking at a celebrity.

(Cheering and clapping)

(Master Kim Joo Won appears with an extraordinary aura about her.)

(Unbelievable)

This is amazing.

(Elegant presence)

(Won Best Female Dancer at Prix Benois de la Danse)

I love ballet, so I felt honored.

(Nice to meet you.)

She holds a high position.

I felt overwhelmed.

He looks extremely charismatic.

He looked like a strict teacher.

(He was a senior rehearsal director of the Rambert Dance Company.)

(Stage Fighter's rehearsal director who adds details to the dance)

He looks very charismatic.

He has an extraordinary aura.

Anyone would expect them to be here.

They were like people from a big agency.

They're famous people in the dance scene,

so I feel even more nervous.

During the Physical and Technique Audition,

they'll be judged on their physique and basic techniques.

We'll also evaluate them on flexibility, balance,

and expression of contemporary dance.

For the Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition,

the technique combination for each round will be revealed.

We don't know which techniques will be given.

What if it's something that I can't do?

I was hoping that it'd mainly involve floor technique.

Techniques that most people can't do easily.

I hoped for the nuclear bomb or side roll.

(Round 1, Technique combination is on.)

Five, four...

(Concentrating)

- It's probably difficult.
- Two,

one. Go.

Shouldn't we get closer and look?

I wanted to get closer...

and watch the details of the movement.

Contraction and double contraction.

It was the basic Martha Graham technique.

I didn't expect to do the Martha Graham technique here.

Side tilt.

It requires a particular physique,

so it could be unfavorable to me.

(Front kick jump: A jump while stretching one leg to the front)

I'm not sure if I can do that.

I've never done such a technique. I'm in big trouble.

I jump higher than most, and I stay in the air for a long time.

I feel confident.

Next is an illusion turn.

(Stepping with one foot and kicking the other in the air to turn)

Oh, okay.

The technique that I'm most confident in is illusion turn.

I should show them.

I'm not familiar with the illusion turn.

The combination isn't so difficult,

so I can do it well as long as I prepare myself.

Most people can do the rainbow.

(I got this.)

I'm good at the illusion turn and the rainbow.

They were back-to-back.

It made me feel more confident.

Gosh, side flip.

(Two dancers who can do side flips without touching the ground)

It's a side flip without touching the ground.

I've done it a lot, so I felt confident.

I felt most confident about that technique.

I should show off my strength.

(Round 1 demonstration video is over.)

(Expecting trouble)

It looks intense.

It was about having a strong foundation.

They wanted to see if we had muscles that a dancer needs.

It's easy yet difficult because they're basic movements.

I felt confident yet worried.

I was very shocked.

I have never done most of the movements.

I wasn't sure how I would do the combination.

For Round Two, it is the Modified Technique Combination.

"Modified technique?"

We have to choreograph the middle.

Maintain the first...

and the last moves.

But choreograph the middle with techniques that you're good at.

For the modified technique, I should do what I'm good at.

How will I modify the combination?

I'll have to be strategic during the competition.

Round 3 is the 1-on-1 Improvised Technique.

- "Improvised?" - That sounds fun.

First, you'll improvise individually.

Then two dancers will improvise at the same time.

After that, the result will be announced.

(The 2 dancers' final classes will be revealed.)

If I make B-boy moves that others can't do,

my strength will be able to stand out.

Compared to when I follow combinations,

I use more varied techniques.

This is better for me.

Having good reflexes is key in improvisation.

I'm confident.

Which of you will join the First Class?

Which of you will join the Under Class?

The Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition...

will begin now.

I have to make it to First Class no matter what.

- I won't join the Under Class.
- Definitely First Class.

I'll risk my life to win.

(Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition)

Here is Group B.

(Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition, Group B)

Kim Young Woong.

Kim Seung Wook.

Kim Jae Jin.

Kim Do Hyun.

(Brushing lightly)

(Kim Young Woong, Kim Jae Jin, Kim Do Hyun, Kim Seung Wook)

Kim Jae Jin has a really nice body.

In ballet, you get graded on your physique.

Yes, physical attributes do count.

Proportions need to be ranked.

In Group B, Kim Jae Jin has the nicest body.

Jae Jin seems quite handsome.

Right?

Jae Jin has nice looks and a good physique.

(Smiling)

Hello, I'm a 26-year-old Contemporary Dancer Kim Jae Jin.

I look quite good.

People have told me that I look like a prince.

I have long arms and legs.

I'm confident about my physique.

(While entering the Contemporary Dance Locker Room)

(Technique I'm confident in: Cartwheel)

Technique he's confident in is the cartwheel. That's it.

The cartwheel technique?

- But that's...
- I can understand.

I can do it with one hand.

Cartwheel is a technique for beginners.

It's very basic.

It's one of the basic techniques in dance.

Don't you learn it as a beginner dancer?

Director, you could probably do it right now.

(I'm serious.)

I have no technique that I'm confident in.

I don't have strong techniques. I'm doomed.

Why does Round One involve technique?

(Stage 3 of emotions: Resigning)

(Sighing)

(During Physical and Technique Audition practice)

(Glancing)

During practice, I couldn't stop looking at Kim Young Woong.

Kim Young Woong is...

well-known as an amazing dancer.

The Sejong University ace has appeared.

He won first place at a competition last year.

In my group, I am wary of Young Woong the most.

I'm not wary of anyone.

The Martha Graham technique is...

one of the basic techniques in contemporary dance.

I can do most dance techniques.

I'm sure that I'll do well.

I've practiced the jump and the illusion turn...

for many years, so I feel confident.

(Look at him.)

I practiced every movement repeatedly...

until I got it perfect.

I focused and got myself immersed in it endlessly.

I'll definitely make it to First Class.

Watch me objectively.

(How tough men talk)

I'll watch you too.

Can you tell me what you think?

You look strong and perfect.

Do I look powerful?

(Do I look powerful?)

(He's happy to hear it.)

(Fully charging his strength and energy)

For Round One, we should pick the best one...

- to follow Chang Yong's combo.
- Right.

We should focus on their foundation.

Round One, technique combination, will start.

It's starting.

I can't wait to see them.

I'll do exactly what I practiced.

I have a strong enough foundation.

I want to survive Round One, at least.

(Who will be the First Class dancer from Group B?)

(Concentrating)

(Group B's Round 1 starts.)

I was confident about my body lines.

- Gosh.
- He has lovely body lines.

He's flexible.

Jae Jin has an outstanding physique.

He has beautiful body lines.

I'm confident about my jumps.

(Swift)

Nice jump.

- Gosh.
- Young Woong jumps well.

I think my jump was good, as always.

(Illusion turn)

His illusion turn looks stable.

Goodness, he's so good.

It could be risky.

I should show them how good I am.

- The rainbow.
- Nice.

The only technique I'm confident in is the cartwheel.

Even if I can't do a side flip, I should do a proper cartwheel.

- Cartwheel.
- He still looks good.

Two, one.

Stop.

(Group B's Physical and Technique Audition is over.)

Jae Jin did a good job.

I did my best.

Young Woong is good.

I was confident about the entire combination,

so I think I performed well.

For the Physical and Technique Audition,

I will announce the dancer that got cut out...

and will join...

the Under Class.

(Standing)

(Which dancer will join the Under Class from Group B?)

- What?
- Gosh.

(Matthew is scanning the dancers in Group B.)

- Is he coming down to announce it?
- What?

He's coming down to put the tag on.

This is so cruel.

The dancer in Under Class is...

Gosh, he's moving.

(Glancing)

Unfortunately, you've been ranked Under.

- It's Kim Seung Wook.
- Please leave the floor.

(No way.)

It felt like being graded in a breeding farm.

He had no idea...

about the hand direction during the contraction.

In all movements,

his legs weren't straight.

They were always bent.

(Dancer Kim Seung Wook is sent to Under Class.)

We'll move on to Round Two.

His elasticity is nice. His body lines are very clean.

He has a very strong foundation.

I like Kim Young Woong.

His long limbs make his moves nice to look at.

He uses the space very well.

(Unfortunately, Kim Do Hyun makes a mistake.)

(Oh, no.)

Did he just make a mistake?

(Dancer Kim Do Hyun is sent to Second Class.)

(Jae Jin and Young Woong get ready...)

(for the 1-on-1 Improvised Technique.)

It's 1-on-1 next.

One by one and together.

(After dancing individually, they improvise together.)

- It's completely freestyle.
- Improvisation.

- They can show their strengths.
- Exactly.

(A war of nerves right before the last battle)

The odds are in my favor.

My technique may be weaker,

but I'm confident about improvisation.

I feel confident about showing...

my dance.

Won't they be ranked 1st and 2nd after this round?

Now that I got this far, I should make it to First.

I've been expecting myself to join the First Class.

Round Three will begin.

Music for Round Three, start.

(Group B's Kim Young Woong goes first.)

- Five, four, three, - I'll do my best.

two, one.

- Young Woong looks determined.
- Go.

(The look in his eyes changes.)

A body roll.

- Yes.
- Let's show them my balance.

(All eyes are on him.)

He has control.

He has quality.

I was confident about my flexibility and strength.

Gosh, kick.

He's very strong and flexible.

I'm probably the only one who knows this technique.

(That's insane.)

- It's surprising.
- Because... Exactly.

He has control over his body. Beautiful.

He's so flexible.

He was very good.

He showed many surprising aspects.

Five, four, three,

- He looks like a tough idol singer.
- two, one.

- Go.
- Amazing.

That was perfect.

I was happy with it.

You should do your best too.

Bring it on with your strongest weapon.

I also have my weapon.

My technique may not be as strong as Young Woong's, but...

The style of a prince.

I'm quite flexible too.

He's flexible.

He was more flexible than I thought.

Balance.

What I like about him is his eyes.

The look on his face.

I believe that dance is about having confidence.

- My gosh.
- What?

He knows how to use his face. My gosh.

(Kim Jae Jin improvises in his own style.)

- Two...
- He has a talent.

Two, one. Stop.

He looks like a K-drama actor.

- He knows the face and the angles.
- Yes.

He showed a side that was different from mine,

so I was worried.

I didn't think such a battle was possible.

Now, they'll dance at the same time.

(Observing)

In terms of technique, I won't lose.

What should I do to survive?

(Round 3, 1-on-1 Improvised Technique)

Go.

- Rond de jambe.
- Balance.

Nice.

I'm good at using my right leg.

Back kick.

It was clean.

He was strong and good at making quick movements.

I should dance calmly instead.

- He's flexible.
- Yes.

(His eyes widen.)

Jumps are my lethal move.

In that case, I should stay low on the floor.

Side stretching.

I kept dancing in the back.

Go for it.

I wanted to pierce them with strong energy.

You must go for it. That's it. Yes.

(In love with his technique)

Three, two...

- I can't choose.
- Three,

- Oh, my gosh.
- two, one. Stop.

(Group B's Physical and Technique Audition Round 3 is over.)

(A competition between midair and floor with no yield)

Round Three is fun.

Both of them did a terrific job.

Their dancing styles are different, but both of them are charming.

It was like a fight between black and white.

I liked Kim Jae Jin's improvisation.

- Wasn't there a twist?
- Yes, there was a twist.

He knows how to direct himself.

He had a very clear focus.

Young Woong is amazing and powerful,

but his focus was unclear.

In terms of technique and foundation,

- Young Woong was much better.
- I agree.

I showed every technique that I had.

It was something that only I could do.

I believe that dance is about having confidence.

I showed my sense of confidence,

so the odds could be in my favor.

One of you will be in First Class.

And one of you will be in Second Class.

I'm nervous. Who will it be?

Who will be First?

Between you, the First Class dancer is...

(Which dancer will be the honorable First Class?)

Dancer Kim Young Woong, congratulations.

(Group B First Class, Kim Young Woong)

(Kim Young Woong in 1st)

He did a good job.

He did well.

Dancer Kim Jae Jin will join the Second Class.

(Group B Second Class, Kim Jae Jin)

- You've reached the highest rank.
- Thank you.

First. Congratulations.

Young Woong.

It stuck on him right away.

Like this?

Jae Jin has a wide chest.

It's bigger than the tag.

I wasn't surprised.

I had hopes, but I give him credit for it.

He's a good dancer.

I was happy.

- That's all?
- Yes.

(He's as happy as he can be.)

You're the 1st to be 1st.

(Feeling the best)

You're the 1st one in 1st Class.

Thank you.

- You did a great job.
- Good luck.

(Tapping his bottom)

Here is Group A.

My hands and feet were shaking.

I sent a message to "Street Woman Fighter" and "Street Man Fighter..."

and asked them for a show about contemporary dance.

Kim Tae Gang.

(Kim Tae Gang came to the audition as he had hoped.)

I'm finally on.

- It's Puppy.
- Puppy.

My nickname is Kim Tae Puppy.

First of all, I look like a dog.

(A puppy with a smiling face)

I also have a smiling face.

People find me cute, but...

(The puppy transforms.)

If I'm smiling, people will think that I'm easy.

Onstage, I'll be Dobermann.

If I look like a Dobermann, people won't look down on me.

I plan to win.

Kim Hye Hyun.

(Next to him is Dancer Kim Hye Hyun.)

Hye Hyun seemed strong.

He had the highest physical score.

(While entering the Contemporary Dance Locker Room)

(Physical Score: 1st place, 20 out of 20)

How will he dance?

Won't it be strong?

It will be intense.

It will be scary.

(Nervous, Pit-a-pat)

- Can you go in first?
- You go in.

- You go in first.
- Rock-paper-scissors?

- Okay.
- Rock-paper-scissors.

I'm scared.

Come in right behind me.

(Squeaking)

(Shutting)

They're leaving right away.

What? They ran away.

I'm shy around new people.

I get nervous easily.

(I got in.)

(Kwon Yo Han, Kim Tae Gang, Kim Eun Hyuk, Kim Hye Hyun)

(Smiling)

(Rubbing his nose)

Kim Hye Hyun's records were...

overwhelming.

I thought, "It won't be easy."

(Keeping an eye on him)

I kept Hye Hyun in check the most.

I've seen the video of his performance during the competition.

He's probably the youngest dancer...

to win a prize at an international competition.

He had nice technique back then.

His dancing looked so clean.

He'll probably dance well again today.

Why don't the three of us do it together?

I met him for the first time,

and he was short.

I felt relieved.

In terms of height and proportions,

I felt more confident.

I'm considered short as a dancer.

Being short is my weakness.

That's why I move more and jump higher than others.

I mostly dance with a lot of technique,

so I don't think it's a disadvantage.

I will do my best to make it to the First Class.

Let's take our first positions, please.

Music, start.

(Group A's Physical and Technique Audition Rounds 1 and 2)

Nice, Hye Hyun.

Kick.

Did you see him kick with his eyes fixed until the end?

It looks so stable.

He has a strong foundation.

The landing. Nice.

(She can't take her eyes off him.)

- Nice.
- Nice.

- Isn't that exemplary?
- It is.

Yes.

(Surprised)

Isn't Kim Tae Gang good?

- Kim Tae Gang is good.
- Yes, I agree.

His twist and illusion turn are good.

Tae Gang has nice body lines.

Even his rainbow looks clean.

(Group A's Physical and Technique Audition Rounds 1 and 2...)

(are over)

(Kim Tae Gang and Kim Hye Hyun face each other in Round 3.)

Round Three will start.

First position.

Before Round 3, I thought I'd be happy to be in 2nd,

but greed is frightening.

I wanted to become First Class.

Since he's younger than me,

he has less experience than me.

I might have the upper hand.

Music.

Dobermann when I'm onstage.

Like Dobermann, the hunting dog.

Start.

- Five, four, - Tae Gang is only twenty years old.

(Group A's Physical and Technique Audition Round 3 starts.)

He's the youngest.

Go.

He did the fish right after the rainbow.

Like Dobermann, the hunting dog.

(Startled)

(The Dobermann soars with force.)

(Surprised)

A breakfall?

Nice.

(Giving him credit)

(Focused)

Four, three, two, one. Go.

Okay.

- I should do breakfalls too.
- One. Go.

(Dancer Kim Hye Hyun is up next.)

(That's it.)

(In awe continuously)

He's so light.

I think he wanted to show...

that he was better than me. It hurt my sense of pride.

It's needless to say that I'm better.

Yes.

He's like a rock.

(Getting into it)

(Impressed)

He's so beautiful.

His moves are so nice.

(Matthew is surprised.)

Look at his physique.

He's flexible too?

He has everything except height.

Three, two, one.

Stop.

- It's crazy.
- It was tight.

The quality is already on another level.

- I acknowledge that.
- Everyone is good.

I really acknowledge that.

Hye Hyun was good.

I should show a plot twist.

I'm confident.

(1-on-1 Improvised Technique Simultaneous Dance Battle starts.)

(The last part in Round 3)

Go.

He starts with a rainbow as expected.

The line is clean.

Hye Hyun is so relaxed.

- The kick.
- Oh, my. Beautiful.

- Oh, gosh.
- He's good.

(Impressed)

A back tumbling too?

Nice.

(There you go.)

Oh, my gosh.

- Hye Hyun has his own movements.
- Yes.

I like his character too.

Three, two, one.

Stop.

One. Stop.

One. Stop.

(Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition is over.)

(They acknowledge it.)

They're so good.

Will I be in First Class?

I think I did well.

Let me announce the result.

Hye Hyun,

it seemed you knew your character well.

You looked very relaxed, which was nice.

(He showed clean moves and relaxed facial expressions.)

- His facial expressions too.
- Yes.

There's also drama.

Tae Gang,

you had great breathing techniques and upper body movements.

(Kim Tae Gang caught their attention with his flexible upper body moves.)

I think Tae Gang has a flexible back.

You worked hard.

Dancer Kim Tae Gang and Dancer Kim Hye Hyun.

The First Class is...

(Who is the dancer that will be in the First Class?)

Dancer Kim Hye Hyun.

Congratulations.

The Second Class is Dancer Kim Tae Gang.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

You've achieved the highest rank of First.

I really enjoyed it.

- Truly.
- Thank you.

Well done.

If I hadn't been on this show,

I wouldn't have known dancers like this...

existed.

(Sighing)

It's a pity.

I could clearly see Hye Hyun was a great dancer.

He was cool.

(Back to reality)

I'll go practice.

It's my 1st time being in the 1st Class. I was so happy.

I want to stay in the First Class.

I should work harder.

And next, we have Group E.

Jung Hye Seong.

Choo Seok Ho.

Yun Hyeok Jung.

Park Jin Ho.

Two of them won in international competitions.

Oh, gosh.

There was a ridiculous group.

Dancer Hyeok Jung and Dancer Jin Ho.

They're too strong.

The two have great bodies.

Yun Hyeok Jung and Park Jin Ho.

You can tell already when they're just standing.

(Everyone is paying attention...)

(to Dancer Yun Hyeok Jung and Dancer Park Jin Ho.)

Where is he?

(Jin Ho chose the same group as Hyeok Jung.)

This is interesting.

(It's going to be fun.)

We should compete against each other.

I've performed with Hyeok Jung once.

I heard we have similar lines.

So I thought he was my rival.

- He went there?
- It's going to be easy.

I thought, "Look at him."

I did feel competitive.

(Upset)

You'll regret that you put your name there.

Beating Hyeok Jung?

I can do it.

I can move my body more softly than him.

So I have an advantage.

He can't win against me yet.

Jin Ho is good,

but I'm better.

It'll be either Hyeok Jung or Jin Ho in this group.

By the way, these two...

lack a lot in terms of physique, don't you think?

From the moment we were standing,

we started in different places.

Everyone is wearing the same clothes.

Those with great bodies surely stand out.

They look cool just by standing.

The two of them were so fit.

I'm small and slim.

So it's natural I'm overshadowed.

I'll do my best.

Round One begins.

- Bravo.
- You can see...

his body extending to both sides.

Hyeok Jung has power.

I can tell he's using his back to move his arms.

He's good.

Look at him.

(Hye Seong caught their attention with an amazing jump.)

Jung Hye Seong?

Surprising.

How can he make a perfect line like that...

without putting his hands on the floor?

I didn't have high expectations, but he grabbed my attention.

Under Class is Choo Seok Ho.

He just has a hard time rotating.

- The transitions aren't smooth.
- Right.

Choo Seok Ho is a little...

I must've done a good job.

They were looking at me with eyes full of expectations.

I felt the atmosphere had changed.

Before that, they were like, "He would be mediocre."

Their facial expressions had changed.

There's a stark difference between our bodies.

But instead of thinking about that,

I thought I would do something else to prove myself.

I should work ten times harder...

and practice 100 times more than those with great bodies.

Round Two will begin.

I suddenly felt competitive against someone else.

It's going to be an intense battle from now on.

With my small body,

how can I grab their attention?

I must make them look at me only.

First position.

Music, start.

Three, two, one.

Go.

He has a great leg.

I thought I should show my leg movements more.

The kick.

It's crazy.

That side kick was amazing.

- The floor technique.
- Beautiful.

I thought I should show it too.

- The fish.
- He's so flexible.

(What?)

I was overshadowed as I was behind tall people.

- Oh, my.
- What?

(Hye Seong suddenly goes forward.)

He's going.

Here he goes.

He's smart.

(He appears like a comet.)

"What? Why does he go forward?"

If I'm the smallest, I can go forward.

I don't know who to look at.

Yes.

(Look at me.)

Okay.

Nice.

"This isn't going well."

"This is bad."

Three, two, one. Stop.

It was fun.

He showed his best move.

I didn't know who to look at,

then he suddenly turned as if he was saying, "Look at me."

(Everyone is obsessed with Hye Seong.)

Gosh, how can he keep spinning like that?

I think he was a top in his past life.

His pirouette was so impactful.

But he wasn't bad.

- Right.
- No, he wasn't.

The difference is very slight.

He chose the wrong group.

He's unlucky for having opponents like them.

- I really don't know.
- Me neither.

At first, I wasn't worried at all.

But I worried...

I might not win because of my physique.

If I go just 1 more step, I can be in the 1st Class.

I wanted to get out of there, at least.

I don't want to be eliminated.

I think I did my best.

I will announce the dancer in the Second Class.

No way.

(Closing his eyes)

(What?)

It's Dancer Park Jin Ho. You worked hard.

What? Jin Ho?

He doesn't lack in terms of physique.

I was like, "It turned out like this?"

This group is quite intense.

I thought I would be eliminated while competing for the First Class.

It was an unexpected result.

It's true I wasn't good enough. I should accept it.

I should do better on other missions.

I didn't expect Jin Ho to be eliminated there.

"This won't do." That's when I changed.

The last round will be intense.

Round Three will begin.

Dancer Hyeok Jung is tall and good-looking.

I felt competitive just for that reason.

In terms of skills,

I think I can win.

It's over if I lose here.

So I was drawing up strategies...

to receive more votes.

I thought I should show off more.

Round 3, 1st position.

Music, start.

Three, two,

- I'll show my arm and leg lines.
- one. Go.

The side balance.

He's good.

A nice turn.

He wasn't extraordinary, unlike my expectations.

His techniques weren't special.

I should do what I'm good at.

- Oh, my.
- He's going hard.

He has a face too.

Hyeok Jung was flirting.

The atmosphere had changed.

He's flexible and looks relaxed.

He knows how to control his body.

Five, four,

- three, two.
- "What is it?"

- Five, four...
- I should make it interesting.

- Five, four, - The technique I'm confident in.

- three, two.
- What is he going to do?

(A gainer)

- Oh, my.
- Okay.

A gainer.

(A perfect gainer)

Look at how he finished it.

I thought they would have more positive opinions about me.

I was like, "Goodbye."

(Laughing)

I thought I should change the atmosphere.

I wanted to do what they would like.

Yes. Even from the beginning.

It's a move based on ballet.

- What? What's that?
- He's light.

Oh, my.

(The ballerinas...)

(like it.)

- That is soft and strong.
- Soft and strong.

- Oh, gosh.
- Here he goes.

You can't do the move if you're not flexible.

Did he do gymnastics? He's very flexible.

I thought I should mix ballet techniques with contemporary dance.

(Look at his feet.)

(Grinning)

- Battu. Bourree.
- Three, two, one.

(He combined ballet and contemporary dance.)

(Satisfied)

Both are really good.

He's good, but he was better in Round Two.

If I don't make a mistake, I could be in the First Class.

This is it.

I thought I should use all my remaining energy to finish it.

Three, two...

(1-on-1 Improvised Technique Simultaneous Dance Battle starts.)

I went forward no matter what.

The energy. Yes.

I thought I should leave a strong impression.

- Both are so good.
- It's tight.

(Hyeok Jung is using his long limbs.)

His moves definitely look big.

I thought I should show something strong.

Oh, no.

I thought, "Something is wrong."

I sprained my back for a moment. It was painful.

I thought I should just keep going.

Yes. Okay.

No. You should do more.

(Hyeok Jung tries to show a technique at that moment.)

It was so high, even though he jumped without a run-up.

I thought I should make them lock their eyes on me.

The skills.

His moves are big.

I did it, thinking it was my last chance.

They're so different, but both are...

- Stop.
- I loved it.

It was close.

- I loved it.
- Nice.

(Their finale made it seem like they performed together.)

Nice.

Bravo.

This is what I wanted to see.

It was very close.

It was amazing.

They showed every technique they could do.

"First Class is mine."

That's what I thought.

I could've done better at the end.

But I was witty. I did so well in that sense.

It's so hard to choose.

They have completely different styles.

Hyeok Jung is better in terms of physique and techniques.

He expressed the lines...

he could utilize well.

He has those lines and power for a reason.

He should use his physique to bring out the energy.

But you saw his technique. Then it should be him for sure.

He effectively showcased his forte...

through his moves.

He showed a lot of moves.

This is the Physical and Technique Audition.

But the technique was good.

(The masters and coaches can't reach a consensus easily.)

(Which one will be in the First Class?)

It was an extremely difficult decision. I'll announce the result.

One of you will be in the First Class.

And the other will be in the Second Class.

Which one will be in the First Class?

The First Class is...

Who is it?

- What?
- What?

The Second Class is Dancer Jung Hye Seong.

The First Class is Dancer Yun Hyeok Jung.

You worked hard.

It was a close game.

If only Hye Seong's rainbow had been perfect...

It's a competition, so you can't help it.

How would you score them regardless of your taste?

- Hye Seong made a mistake.
- Yes. He made a mistake.

- The rainbow.
- Yes.

It was a little disappointing.

But I don't want to say it was because of my back.

It's my job to control it as a dancer.

"I don't have a great body. What do I do?" Rather than thinking that,

"I made the masters and coaches contemplate..."

"for a long time."

I like this. Number one.

(Precious)

I should be in the First Class no matter what.

I'll protect it as much as I can.

(Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition, Group F)

Go Dong Hoon.

Lee Jin Woo.

Kim Hyun Ho.

And finally, I Ban.

Go Dong Hoon and Kim Hyun Ho are the same age.

Their physical scores differ by just one point.

- Both have high scores.
- They have almost perfect scores.

Hyun Ho and I go to the same school.

I major in Dance Performance, and he majors in Choreography.

We have very different styles. But in terms of technique,

I think I'm much better than him.

I learned many basic contemporary dance techniques...

in school. As I learned them before,

I didn't have a problem.

Contraction.

This is for me.

(Glancing)

Oh, my gosh.

I wasn't familiar with the terms as I mostly focused on choreography.

Contraction, chaines.

It's confusing.

I thought, "How can I do this?"

(What else can you do? Let's practice.)

I might not be that good in terms of basic techniques,

but I will compete using my energetic body.

When I do a kick, I'll do it faster and stronger.

When I do chaines, I'll turn as energetically as possible.

Yes.

(He found the target.)

Hyun Ho doesn't know basic techniques.

But he was better than I thought.

I feel competitive.

(Meanwhile, I Ban is not practicing techniques.)

(He has a headache.)

"What do I do?"

I really wanted to hide. I felt very small.

(While they were playing the demonstration video)

How do I do that?

I've never learned dance techniques.

It was very hard to copy the moves in a short period of time.

You didn't study contemporary dance.

No.

- It must be so hard.
- I've never done this.

(Upset)

But I don't want to run away.

I thought I would do anything.

(How did I Ban with no experience prepare for the audition?)

Let's take the first position.

Music, start.

- Let's move as my body remembers.
- Five, four,

- I should show powerful moves - three, two, one.

(The Contemporary Dance Physical and Technique Audition starts.)

The contraction is nice.

It feels great when I hit the move.

His moves are clean and nice.

- I liked how he held it.
- It's stable.

The tilt isn't bad.

I thought I should do it more powerfully than Dong Hoon.

(Power and energy)

(Impressed)

(Cross side tilt)

It's a powerful tilt.

His tilt is the best among them.

I should show them properly.

(Jumping in earnest)

- A nice jump.
- It's clean.

He stretched his front leg properly.

Dong Hoon has great basic techniques.

I'll release my energy.

(Hyun Ho is turning powerfully.)

He knows how to keep it powerful yet controlled.

Both Dong Hoon and Hyun Ho are good.

- What?
- What is he doing?

He changed the move.

Do you think he's confused about the order?

He's giving a solo performance.

What is I Ban doing?

Does he have another strategy?

- He's not supposed to do that now.
- He's not.

He just did it in his own style.

Three, two, one.

(The Contemporary Physical and Technique Audition has ended.)

(I Ban showed his own moves instead of the fixed techniques.)

He did what he should do...

- in Round Two.
- Yes.

(The atmosphere in the audition room suddenly turned cold.)

What was that?

It seemed he didn't learn dance at all.

It was overwhelmingly silent.

It was a mess.

But I don't regret it.

It's obvious who should be cut out this time.

- You're right.
- Yes.

We'll now reveal the dancer...

who got cut out and joined the Under Class.

(When they were about to announce the Under Class in Group F,)

(I Ban quickly raised his hand.)

(Startled)

(What's going on?)

First of all,

I'd like to apologize.

I didn't improvise...

because I thought my moves were better.

Actually,

I paused...

because I couldn't execute the technique.

(After the practice had ended before the audition)

(I Ban quietly goes to the corridor.)

Twist. Twist one more time.

(Staggering)

(Hyun Ho in Group F found I Ban.)

Are you okay?

- I'm doing my best.
- Do you want...

to practice together? Like we could dance on the same beat.

- I can practice with you.
- Thank you.

(No worries.)

Kick.

(With Hyun Ho's help, they're practicing techniques.)

- Illusion turn.
- Thankfully,

- Hyun Ho helped me.
- Then turn.

(He kept practicing after Hyun Ho had left.)

But it really wasn't easy.

I thought it would never work out.

But I thought it'd be even ruder...

to stand still...

to the other dancers and the people who were watching.

I don't have to follow the exact move, right?

It's because I can't execute the technique.

I might lack as a dancer.

But I thought I should do something.

I wanted to show the right attitude, at least.

I thought I needed to show some kind of dance.

(Nodding)

(I respect that.)

He was very cool.

That was a good attitude.

He had the mindset to show some kind of movements.

I agree with that thought.

I think his movements showed respect...

to the reason why he was here.

Unfortunately, you've been ranked in Under.

Thank you.

You can exit the floor.

(I Ban regains his smile and receives the Under Class mark.)

(Everyone gives him a round of applause.)

This isn't the only time I'll get to show my dance.

I think I'll do better next time.

- I liked his attitude.
- Same here.

(Contemporary Physical and Technique Audition)

(Group F, Round 2)

Contraction. Double contraction.

The Aoya was clean.

Go Dong Hoon is the most precise and easy on the eyes.

He did a headstand.

Gainer.

Hyun Ho does it in a very unique way.

Jin Woo keeps breaking up the movements.

I don't think we can call that a technique.

The Second Class is Dancer Lee Jin Woo.

All right.

(The 2 of them prepare for the 1-on-1 Improvised Technique.)

Now is my time.

I'll show them a variety.

I'll show my unique charms.

I'll show something only I can do.

Round Three will begin.

First position.

Music, start.

(Dancer Go Dong Hoon performs first in Group F.)

I came this far.

Let's enjoy myself in earnest.

Go.

(Transforming)

He can jump well.

He's light.

I'll soar into the air first.

- The Aoya.
- It was clean.

- The transition was nice.
- Yes.

His movements are controlled and swift.

Modified forward roll.

- Soft. It's nice.
- Yes.

Why isn't he showing a technique like the nuclear bomb?

I wanted to show that I could take on various moods.

- Five, four, - He dances tastefully.

- three, two, - It looks like he has been freed.

one. Go.

It was a bit disappointing.

There wasn't an impactful move.

I decided to be daring.

(Dancer Kim Hyun Ho goes second in Group F)

- He's enjoying it even more.
- Not bad.

He's showing off his charms.

- This is fun.
- Look at his facial expression.

If he performs like that, the match will be interesting.

It's like B-boying.

I think the mood changed to street dance.

What?

Modified floor technique.

He's breaking up the movements.

(Interested)

Hyun Ho works very hard.

- Three, two, one.
- Yes.

(Powerful)

He did so well.

Nice.

He looked macho.

It was insane.

I don't know what will happen.

I'll show them everything I can do.

- Five, four, - I'll give a proper performance.

three, two,

- It'll be a fun match.
- one. Go.

- My goodness.
- It's a relay battle.

He's warming up with krumping.

I thought, "I lost control."

I didn't come off as strong at first.

(Dropping the nuclear bomb)

- That's the nuclear bomb.
- That move?

He moved so lightly.

He's good.

I decided to captivate their eyes as soon as possible.

A headspin.

(Expectant)

(A shocking spin)

Three, two...

(Group F, Round 3 ends.)

Stop.

(My goodness)

What a sight.

It was fun.

They're completely different.

One showed floor techniques, and the other showed aerial techniques.

I showed them aerial techniques.

They probably said, "Go Dong Hoon doesn't disappoint."

I have a chance of joining the First Class.

While adding a sense of humor to my performance,

I showed them impressive techniques...

on the floor.

The one with better basic skills in contemporary dance was...

this dancer.

His techniques were very light.

He made them look easy.

(Nodding)

One will join the 1st Class, and the other will join the 2nd Class.

This is so hard.

(Becoming nervous)

The First Class is...

(First Class of Group F)

Dancer Go Dong Hoon. Congratulations.

(Go Dong Hoon in 1st)

(Go Dong Hoon joined the First Class.)

(Both of them were cool.)

Dancer Kim Hyun Ho joined the Second Class.

He fought hard.

Congratulations. You ranked the highest. First.

(Thank you.)

Congratulations.

(Group F's audition wraps up with the manly men's hug.)

I came so close to joining the First Class,

so I'm very disappointed.

I'll keep trying...

to join the First Class.

I'm happy to be recognized for my talent.

But they say that you must bear the weight of the crown.

There's a bit of pressure.

(STF Dance Company)

(Korean Dance Physical and Technique Audition)

(24 Korean dancers gather for the audition.)

Who'll judge our dance?

I'm curious about the judges.

(Who will they be?)

(At that moment)

I was very surprised.

To be honest, I was surprised.

I could feel her charisma.

(My goodness)

I'm the Master of Stage Fighter, Kim Joo Won.

Ballerina Kim Joo Won is very famous.

She exuded charisma.

I'm Matthew. Nice to meet you.

I was very surprised.

I didn't expect to see him here.

I'm Coach Kim Jae Seung.

(He's a choreographer who shows Korean aesthetics and mood.)

He's a big name.

He's well-known for his talent in the Korean dance scene.

I watched many of his performances.

(He's a global choreographer who spreads Korean dance.)

Being a fan, I became very nervous.

I'm Korean Dance Coach Jung Bo Kyung.

Despite being petite,

her power and energy surpass those of a male dancer.

She often does choreography.

I admire her for her unique colors.

She's a celebrity in the dance scene.

(Korean Dance Coach Jung Bo Kyung)

This is a legitimate dance show.

They'll judge us properly.

I thought it'd be an honor...

to be judged and coached by them.

I was both nervous and scared.

In the Physical and Technique Audition,

we'll judge your physique and techniques.

You'll also be judged for your breath, line,

balance, and expression that are unique to Korean dance.

I'll reveal how each round will proceed...

in the Physical and Technique Audition.

Round One is the Technique Combination.

Memorize the order...

and recreate the dance in the video.

It's similar to the copying test of the college entrance exam.

I thought that I'd do well since I can memorize quickly.

Knowing that my techniques were bad,

I became scared.

When it comes to techniques, I can do better than anyone else.

I have confidence in most techniques...

of Korean dance.

(Nervous)

(Curious)

(The Technique Combination video plays.)

The first move is the head move.

I was very surprised.

It's a basic move.

What? It's a dance.

Since it's a basic move, it'll be a battle of quality.

Despite being very basic, the head move is quite difficult.

Turning the wrist...

isn't easy for male dancers.

People with more years of experience will have an advantage.

I find the head move the hardest.

I can show basic moves like this one.

The Korean moves and steps...

are the techniques in traditional dance.

Contestants who do traditional dance like me...

will have an advantage.

When it comes to such moves,

I'm the absolute best.

(Kim Hyo Joon scans the jaban.)

After the jaban...

I like jaban.

I jump really well for jaban.

I have confidence in the jaban, but...

Isn't every Korean dancer good at jaban?

It's a basic technique.

It isn't difficult to do it.

But it's difficult to do it well.

Seonja and jaban are basic techniques.

But it's hard to keep the lines pretty.

It's important to go up high.

But I think what matters more is jumping in a beautiful way.

After the jaban,

do the gainer.

(Gainer: Jumping on 1 foot and making a 360° turn)

I'm in so much trouble.

I can't do a gainer.

A gainer? A gainer right after a jaban?

I have no experience in the gainer.

I'm ruined.

I'm ruined.

That isn't something I can do.

That's my move.

I can do it with my eyes closed.

(I can totally do it.)

I had confidence.

Balance with the ollilsawi and wrap up the performance...

with the ending pose.

I think they will put importance on the basic moves.

The choreography contained the basics of the Korean dance.

I thought the order was perfect for evaluating the contestants.

Since my techniques are a bit lacking...

I'll compete with the basic moves.

Round Two is the Modified Technique Combination.

Keep the first and last techniques the same...

and add modified techniques in the middle.

If I do my best, I'll be able to add my colors...

and show a good performance.

I decided to change the key points to suit my taste.

Round 3 is the 1-on-1 Improvised Technique.

Each dancer will show improvised techniques.

Then after the two dancers show it at the same time,

the result will be revealed.

I have confidence in improvisation.

I'll show the most of my talent.

My strength is the Korean move,

so I'll try to win points that way.

I'll captivate their attention with my killer move.

I'll think about Round Three when I get there.

That's improvisation.

From now on, we will begin...

the Korean Dance Physical and Technique Audition.

My goal is First.

First Class is mine.

I will never become an Under.

I will step on the others and climb up.

- I'll go for it.
- I'll get First.

Isn't it right that I become First?

The next is Group D.

(Korean Dance Physical and Technique Audition Group D)

Jang Sung Bum,

Kim Kyu Nyeon,

Bang Seong Hyun, and Choi Ji Won.

He received an award.

Our Gold Award. Gold Award Kyu Nyeon.

The person whose name I was surprised to see was Kim Kyu Nyeon.

He won the Dong-A Dance Competition.

I'm guessing he will have the best form.

Isn't his top too open?

This dancer also seems to have...

- a sturdy build.
- He's well-built.

Out of the three, I was most wary of Dancer Kyu Nyeon.

- What?
- Kim Kyu Nyeon.

- Kim Kyu Nyeon.
- It has started.

I know who he is.

Kyu Nyeon, do you know Sung Bum?

(Feeling nervous for some reason)

I saw him at the competition...

- So, because you won...
- No.

- You beat him once, - No, it's not that.

- so you can beat him twice?
- It's not like that.

(Burning with a competitive spirit)

Kyu Nyeon won the Gold Award in the Dong-A Dance Competition.

And I was eliminated in the preliminary round.

Still, I'm confident that I won't lose...

in terms of physique and technique.

(Spinning, A graceful landing)

I think I have good physical attributes...

and good technique too.

(Glancing)

Actually, I don't think there was anyone I was wary of.

In Korean Dance, flashy technique isn't the most important.

Flowing lines that are Korean...

and subtle details. I think those matter more.

Rather than someone's jumping abilities or angles,

I thought I should show...

the lines that Korean dancers can show with basic techniques.

Since I'm going to do this, I should go to First.

I'm going to join the First Class.

I will.

Let's take our first positions.

Music,

start.

Three, two, one.

- Let's go.
- Go.

The head move.

(The fixed technique in Round 1: The head move)

Let's show off the beauty in my flowing lines.

Nice.

Kyu Nyeon looks good.

Kyu Nyeon has good, clean lines.

Yes, he looks good.

Beautiful.

(The fixed technique in Round 1: The double step)

The stationary jump.

(Nice.)

(Satisfied)

I liked how he dropped his wrists in the stationary jump.

- His fingertip placement is...
- They're delicate.

Yes.

Dancer Jang Sung Bum is letting his wrists flap about.

That's a shame.

Kim Kyu Nyeon is more precise.

Seonja.

(A neat jump)

(Impressed)

Kyu Nyeon's back leg extends all the way...

and has a clean line.

He's good.

I'm confident in showing techniques.

His lines are disappointing.

His body looks heavy right now.

(Right then, Jang Sung Bum misses the beat.)

Gosh, he missed it.

- Oh, dear.
- I couldn't remember anything.

I thought, "I'm in big trouble."

Three, two, one.

Stop.

(Korean Dance Physical and Technique Audition)

(Group D, Round 1 is over.)

(Sighing)

I was so annoyed.

This was all I could show them?

This dancer was...

- behind on the beat and stuff.
- Right.

- I think so too.
- Yes, this dancer.

- He has a good build, though.
- Yes.

But that's why it looks worse.

I danced without any regrets.

We will reveal the dancer who will be cut out...

and become Under Class in Round One.

The Under Class dancer is...

(Striding over)

Your rhythm at the end was a little disappointing.

I forgot the order.

(Jang Sung Bum is cut out. He's confirmed as Under Class.)

- I feel bad.
- Right.

He was good during practice.

He memorized the order quickly.

I made too many mistakes.

I was so mad at myself.

But just because I came in last, doesn't mean I'll always be last.

With the resolve of going to war with no intention of coming back,

I will go for it.

We will begin Round Two.

I think his basic technique is really strong.

- That's it.
- Nice.

It's a double step going backward.

(Would you look at this?)

What was that?

- Goodness!
- What was that?

- What was that?
- Gosh, he's good.

Dancer Bang Seong Hyun is lost in his own world.

He sure is unique.

I think he's all right.

He's lost in himself.

(Lost in himself)

He has good physical energy.

He's a new discovery.

Now, this dancer is rather weak.

Unfortunately, you are Second.

Please leave the floor.

(Round 3: 1-on-1 Improvised Technique)

(Kim Kyu Nyeon versus Bang Seong Hyun)

It's improvisation time.

This dancer was just standing there earlier.

- Earlier?
- By himself. Just him.

(During the practice session)

(Among all the dancers moving busily about,)

(there is a man standing like a statue.)

I didn't major in Korean dance.

I was thinking about how to express myself...

to make myself stand out.

My dance has Korean dance as its basis...

with ballet, contemporary dance,

ballroom dance, street dance,

and various other genres.

That's why I give off a new vibe.

I should distinguish myself clearly...

to show them that I can do other genres too.

He has a totally different style than mine.

I had no idea what he might do.

- They're very different.
- Yes.

It's the real deal from now on.

Music, start.

(Round 3, Bang Seong Hyun goes first.)

I was moving to the music,

and I suddenly thought of a zombie.

I wanted to express that, at least.

(Bang Seong Hyun showed an improvised technique like a zombie.)

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

(Surprised and intrigued)

What's this?

The segmentation of his arms and lower body...

was great for showing his strengths.

He has a different charm from mine.

Bang Seong Hyun is lost in his own world.

I love it.

He's drunk on his own vibe.

A zombie that could move was dancing.

It's very unique.

The trend of Korean dance is incredible.

Let's finish this strong.

Three, two, one.

- That's amazing.
- What's that?

- Goodness!
- What's that?

(Giving him credit)

He's good.

(100-percent satisfied)

I didn't feel threatened at all.

I just wanted to show myself, whatever that may be.

(Kim Kyu Nyeon starts dancing right away.)

- Five, four, - Oh, no.

- three, two, one.
- He made a mistake.

- Oh, no.
- Go.

(Kim Kyu Nyeon forgot about the countdown due to his nerves.)

- That was nice just now.
- It was good.

- It was good.
- Two...

We got bonus dancing.

- Just go again.
- Four, three,

- I'm doomed.
- two, one.

- Let's make up for it.
- Go.

(He takes a breath and starts his Round 3 Improvised Technique.)

What is this?

(Focused and keeping him in check)

His body segmentation is good.

Nice.

His breathing is great right now.

(Continuous techniques)

Oh, my gosh.

- He's doing a cartwheel full twist.
- There's his weapon!

He had a big punch.

He has great flow in his dance.

- The connecting motions.
- Yes.

That's insane.

He's good. He has good technique too.

His body moves freely.

I thought using my face was a part of technique too.

(Expressive acting)

Five, four, three, two, one.

That was good.

I showed them everything I could.

His moves weren't good enough to seem interesting.

They each have such unique colors.

They're both interesting.

I came all the way to the end. I should be First Class.

Will I be able to win?

- I should win, no matter what.
- Five, four,

- I should beat him.
- three, two,

- Let's go.
- one. Go.

Nice.

He's passionate.

This time, let's dance like a maniac.

- Nice.
- Goodness.

He has personality.

He really is going to be free.

I'm pretty good at floor moves.

He's good at utilizing the floor.

He is good at using his body in various ways.

I thought I couldn't win with this.

If I have to show off something, let's make it this technique.

(Bang Seong Hyun comes forward with a technique.)

He added a jump.

(Surprised)

(Impressed)

He's very interesting.

What was that?

- He's just good.
- Three, two, one.

Stop.

One. Stop.

(Korean Dance Physical and Technique Audition, Group D Round 3, is over.)

(Drained of all his energy)

They're very different.

Oh, my gosh.

- Nice.
- They both did so well.

This is a fierce competition.

You both did well.

Then, I will announce the result.

(Kim Kyu Nyeon and Bang Seong Hyun...)

(showed off totally different charms.)

Dancer Bang Seong Hyun...

seemed to show us what you were good at...

and what you could do with passion.

We gave you high scores on that.

Dancer Kim Kyu Nyeon...

didn't have a fixed flow to your dance.

I thought it was great that you expressed yourself in various ways.

Dancers Kim Kyu Nyeon and Bang Seong Hyun.

The First Class is...

- Who will it be?
- Who's First?

I was satisfied with how I finished.

I thought I'd get this.

I hope they choose me. Please choose me.

Dancer Kim Kyu Nyeon. Congratulations.

(Group D's First Class, Dancer Kim Kyu Nyeon)

(Disappointed)

Congratulations.

You've ranked First, which is the highest place.

Congratulations.

I felt great.

It felt like I was being acknowledged.

Let's work hard.

(Kim Kyu Nyeon in 1st.)

You're in Second Class.

Dancer Bang Seong Hyun is in Second class.

I'm not happy with the result,

but it's not that heartbreaking.

I don't want to blame myself.

I learned so much in that brief moment.

Now that I'm on this show, I'll improve...

and be in First Class.

Group B.

(Korean Dance Physical and Technique Audition Group B)

Baek Sang Ha.

Kim Min Seok?

Kim Si Won?

His hair alone already looks like a painting.

(Shiny)

Only Si Won stood out.

He's that famous, and he's talented.

I've seen a lot of his videos.

- He's here.
- I can't wait.

You can already see it from the way he's standing.

(Focused)

I think it's been about 15 years since I began dancing.

I've never stopped dancing.

(Kim Si Won spent half of his life dancing.)

I feel as confident as the time I've spent dancing.

And Kim Jong Cheol.

(Dancer Kim Jong Cheol)

I'm looking forward to watching Si Won and Jong Cheol.

Jong Cheol.

I've heard that he's good.

That just in a few years,

he'll wipe the dance industry.

When I joined five dance competitions,

I placed 1st 3 or 4 times.

My strength is...

that my muscles are more developed...

than other dancers.

I look masculine.

But I think I'm good at...

dancing something detailed...

and soft.

- He's...
- Kim Jong Cheol has flat feet.

He shouldn't be good at dancing, but he is. It's amazing.

He's very talented.

Because I was born with them,

instead of giving excuses,

I made a lot of effort to break the prejudice...

on my own.

Si Won, I want to stay next to you.

(It's guaranteed to be fun.)

You'll see.

You'll see.

(Grinning)

I thought Jong Cheol was young.

But he was rather passionate.

I should show my years of experience.

Si Won isn't exactly...

good at techniques.

I can be in First Class.

I'll make it in First Class.

I'm the best. I can do it.

(Ballet Physical and Technique Audition Group B,)

(Rounds 1 and 2 start.)

Si Won is good.

As he moves, he knows how to keep the angle of his body.

(Exclaiming)

I think I'm better.

(Round 1 fixed technique, seonja: Expressing a flying butterfly)

- Nice.
- That was one neat seonja.

Nice jaban.

(He nailed it.)

- He modified it.
- After jaban,

he threw his arm in the air.

I see that he tried to modify it.

- Amazing.
- Okay.

Kim Jong Cheol is good at Korean dance moves,

like keeping the angle of his fingertips and wrists.

(Pulling it off softly)

I like the flow of his moves.

(Flying)

(Look at him.)

The way his body curves.

It's very Korean. I love it.

(On the other hand, Kim Min Seok made a mistake.)

- He's struggling.
- He doesn't know the order.

You're in Under.

He's not using any techniques. That's a shame.

You've ranked Second.

(The last round before joining First Class)

Who's it going to be?

Si Won and Jong Cheol? I can't predict it.

I have a good chance...

of winning.

(Confident)

Jong Cheol is the youngest.

He's good, but still,

he's nothing compared to me.

(Look at Si Won.)

He looks so cool.

He looks like a painting.

I can see that Kim Si Won has a lot of experience.

His eyes look charismatic.

Two, one. Go.

(Kim Si Won goes first.)

(Exclaiming)

Si Won is rather tough...

than soft.

He made me go, "What's he doing?"

I have to show that I'm good at spinning.

- Amazing.
- Dynamic.

That was the best jaban.

(Neat)

He's good.

He's dynamic, and he makes smooth connections.

(Impressed)

I shouldn't make a mistake until the end.

Until the end.

(Exclaiming)

- He's good.
- I've shown them my strength.

I'll take First Class.

Do it if you can.

Jong Cheol, do better.

Do everything you can.

(Exclaiming)

(Oh, my gosh!)

Gosh.

Look at him. He's doing the whole jump.

It's a very difficult move, and he's good at it.

I think he was waiting for enough space.

He's got nice techniques.

I like the energy in his dance.

He has nice arms.

Gosh.

(Amazing)

Oh, what is that?

- A helicopter.
- Gosh.

Interesting.

He has very nice breathing.

One. Stop.

- Gosh.
- Gosh.

I think I showed...

everything I could.

- He's good.
- They're both good.

- What's your opinion?
- They're neck-and-neck.

- Right?
- Yes.

He's good.

I have a chance. I'm taking it.

But he can't compete against me yet.

(1-on-1 Improvised Technique starts.)

What's he doing?

Gosh.

Nice.

Gosh.

Kim Si Won captured our attention.

Beat me if you can.

(Satisfied)

This is bad. I need to draw their attention.

I won't let you do that.

- I won't be seen.
- Come forward and dance.

I'll show you that experience makes you different.

He has very long and nice arms.

I need to move forward no matter what.

(Sliding)

Come forward.

Three, two, one. Stop.

Stop.

He should've endured it.

(What a shame.)

I was drained at the end.

It was a bummer.

One. Stop.

Gosh.

Good job, Si Won.

- Who's going to be First?
- It won't be easy to decide.

Kim Si Won can control the dynamics...

when connecting the moves.

There's something fresh about him.

So he feels new and exciting to me.

It could be Jong Cheol.

They were about the same when they were dancing separately,

but he has more experience.

He knew how to steal the attention in the end.

Thank you, dancers.

One of you will become First,

and the other, Second.

I felt both of you were very dynamic,

but there were differences...

variety, and quality,

which I really appreciated.

I saw Jong Cheol's dance when he was dancing second.

I agreed that he was good.

So I was a little anxious.

Si Won and I kept running into each other.

That made me confused.

That was a bummer.

Who will take First Class?

(Intrigued)

Kim Si Won...

and Kim Jong Cheol.

Between the 2, 1st Class goes to...

Who's it going to be?

(Who will take First Class in Korean Dance Group B?)

Honestly, whoever it is, it's a great decision.

It's Kim Si Won. Congratulations.

(Kim Si Won takes First Class in Korean Dance Group B.)

(Congratulations.)

(Bummed out)

- Congratulations. You ranked First.
- Thank you.

- Congratulations. It was fabulous.
- Thank you.

I find him very charming.

He'll do even better.

It breaks my heart.

Just because I couldn't be in First Class,

doesn't mean it's not over.

I have a place to go up to.

I should take over First Class now.

Still, he can't compete against me.

And next, we have Group E.

Guys, a big one is coming.

The time has come.

This is so tough.

Gosh.

I thought Group E was...

the toughest competition.

That is a group of death.

I'm dying to see it.

They're all well-known dancers.

Choi Ho Jong is from the National Dance Company of Korea.

He played the main role.

His hashtag said, "Korean dance legend."

Legend. Number one in Korea.

No one denies it.

He's the dancer among dancers.

Choi Ho Jong is the reason I started dancing.

He's probably the dream...

of numerous male Korean dance students.

- He's the legend.
- He's the deity of dancers.

I think he's top-class.

Ki Moo Gan is...

good at competitions and choreographies.

Should I say he's an elite?

He was known as the urban legend at school.

People who saw his dance said...

his back muscles wiggled.

He's one of a kind.

He's shocking.

He's unique.

No one's more unique than him in the dance industry.

It'll be worth watching...

if Ki Moo Gan and Choi Ho Jong compete.

(Everyone looks forward to Ki Moo Gan and Choi Ho Jong's match.)

I thought it was going to be fun.

I've joined a competition...

with Moo Gan before.

When I watched Moo Gan's performance,

I thought it was unique and distinct.

When people talk about Ho Jong,

I always say...

that he's so perfect...

that I'm not worried about anything he does.

I believe his charisma comes from...

his physique and appearance.

I thought Moo Gan would be in First Class.

I'm only worried about one person.

Ho Jong.

I can't help but worry about him.

It's the years of experience.

He has more experience.

That will make a clear difference.

He can never beat me.

It'll be fun...

for the audience.

If Choi Ho Jong and Ki Moo Gan are competing...

from the start,

it'll sound intriguing.

This is going to be fun.

I can't wait to watch it.

Who will get to First Class?

Five, four,

three, two, one. Go.

Ho Jong's moves are laid-back.

Ho Jong is good.

He's disciplined.

(Choi Ho Jong puts on neat and disciplined techniques.)

(Round 1 fixed technique, gainer: Jump with one leg and turn 360°)

That was a perfect gainer.

He has good basic skills.

I can see his years of experience.

Kim Min Su can't do double steps.

He can't do double steps at all.

- He can't keep his knees straight.
- No.

- You're in Under.
- Thank you.

(The 3 get ready for Round 2.)

(Watching carefully)

I've never seen him before.

He's young.

(22 years old)

Jun Woo must be nervous.

Jun Woo was in a group...

that was expected to be intense.

I felt bad for Park Jun Woo.

He was competing against two top dancers.

There were Moo Gan and Ho Jong.

I'm in trouble.

This is the group of death.

(Park Jun Woo and Choi Jong Ho's match was decided from the start.)

(What now?)

(I'd rather not see it.)

When it was just Ho Jong at first,

I felt rather relieved.

- Why?
- I don't need to worry...

about anyone else.

No matter who it is?

I was thinking, "Okay. I'll go for Second Class."

(After Choi Ho Jong,)

(Ki Moo Gan was added.)

- What am I going to do?
- What?

Oh, he's in your team.

When Moo Gan joined too, I knew I was in trouble.

There were two monsters.

(Two monsters)

I really have to clench my teeth and do it.

Even though I'm in the group of death,

I should still get something out of it.

I shouldn't be discouraged. I'll do my best to prove myself.

Because...

I have nothing to lose.

It's a rare chance to dance...

with wonderful dancers.

I'm going to do my very best.

Oh, I can't wait.

(Round 2: Modified Technique Combination)

Five, four,

three, two, one. Go.

Ho Jong, show me what you've got.

They're different.

Their moves are clearly laid-back.

Nice.

I need to show them.

- Oh, no.
- Be careful.

Oh, no.

He made a mistake.

Gosh, it's not working.

What's wrong with me? Calm down.

- He looks...
- He looks dull, right?

Oh, no.

(He keeps making mistakes.)

Moo Gan is flustered.

He can't show his skills.

I shouldn't let him influence me.

Look at him. He's doing a whole jump.

He puts on techniques so easily.

He's very good.

Gosh.

How can he dance like that?

Oh, what?

Jun Woo is doing better than expected.

He's pretty good.

It's time to show my skills.

Let me show them my lethal move.

(Grabbing attention)

- What was that?
- Park Jun Woo is good.

I love that move.

You got it.

I find Park Jun Woo better.

I agree with you.

Two, one. Stop.

Stop.

- Jun Woo was good.
- Yes, he was good.

Jun Woo was not bad.

Jun Woo was pretty good.

That was a new discovery.

I think I did a pretty good job.

Wait.

I might have a chance.

(Who will be the 1st dancer to be 2nd in Group E?)

Second Class goes to...

I couldn't keep my head up.

Unfortunately, you've ranked Second.

Please leave the floor. Thank you.

Second Class goes to Ki Moo Gan. Thank you.

- He was flustered.
- He was flustered.

He couldn't show what he's got.

I know. That was a bummer.

Moo Gan is in Second.

It was a bummer.

I know he could do better than that.

It hurt my pride big time.

All those people thought I was matchless.

They'd be like, "What? What was that?"

I need to redeem myself soon.

I'll be in First Class next time.

This doesn't suit me.

(First Class candidates are Choi Ho Jong and Park Jun Woo.)

Gosh, Jun Woo.

He's competing against Choi Ho Jong.

It's youth versus experience.

Right.

When I got to compete 1-on-1 with him,

I was surprised.

I can't believe Park Jun Woo made it.

Now that this has happened, Jun Woo should win.

Now that I've made it,

I should do my best to win.

Four, three, two, one. Go.

Jun Woo, show them.

- Yes!
- Good job.

(Surprised)

He's swift.

It was interesting.

I didn't expect him to move like that.

You got it.

Good job.

He has long arms.

(He's good at using the dance floor.)

He's good.

If you're a dancer, you should dance with your breath.

- Cool.
- Good job.

- Nice.
- Three, two...

- That's neat.
- Five, four...

He's doing a very neat Korean dance.

- Go.
- Good job.

He doesn't forget to look forward.

Nice.

I wasn't discouraged until the end.

How will Ho Jong do?

Despite the competition,

I should maintain my rhythm.

(Choi Ho Jong goes 2nd in Round 3,)

(the 1-on-1 Improvised Technique.)

He's clearly laid-back.

He's different.

Beautiful.

His sentiment is different.

He's different.

That's crazy.

(Choi Ho Jong moves to the corner smoothly.)

Why is he moving to the corner?

No way.

(Shocked)

(Everyone cheers.)

Oh, no.

What? Oh, no.

Is he hurt?

Is he okay?

I wasn't afraid of jumping.

Then, I was flustered.

This is too dangerous.

If I land like this...

What? Oh, no.

I changed the direction.

I tried changing to the next move,

but as you saw, it was too obvious.

Stop.

The end.

(Choi Ho Jong ended up with a mistake at the end.)

(I can't believe it.)

Ho Jong made a mistake?

Maybe Jun Woo...

Park Jun Woo...

- He's good.
- did better than expected.

He went beyond expectations.

When I saw him falling,

I thought I might have a chance.

I should give my all when we're competing 1-on-1.

That's when I became relaxed.

This will be worth watching.

(They both start the 1-on-1 Improvised Technique.)

Three, two, one. Go.

(Who will be in 1st Class between the 2?)

(They both start the 1-on-1 Improvised Technique.)

Three, two, one. Go.

I should show my energy.

(Park Jun Woo begins using the floor with enthusiasm.)

I wanted to show them how relaxed I was.

He's amazing.

- So articulate.
- How calm.

His details are great.

- Oh, my.
- He surely is different.

That's crazy.

Pushing and pulling.

Even if I was improvising,

it was still a Physical and Technique Audition.

I had to leave a strong impression.

What was that?

He's got the spirit.

- Nice.
- These two members are great.

Three, two...

(Excellent.)

Three, two, one.

- Stop.
- That was cool.

Stop.

- Jun Woo did well.
- Both were awesome.

(Korean Dance Physical and Technique Audition)

(Group E, Round 3 ends)

(Acknowledging them)

Ho Jong the Great.

Jun Woo put up a good fight.

He gave it his all.

Great job, dancers.

One of you will become First Class,

and the other will become Second Class.

Park Jun Woo was very novel.

(It was novel.)

The Korean vibe and lines were beautiful.

We could see great potential in you.

Jun Woo. Good job.

And Choi Ho Jong.

You felt like a sharp knife...

or like a sword.

You had a very strong foundation.

Watching you two...

was like black and white.

(Black Ho Jong, White Jun Woo)

(Choi Ho Jong is tanned while Park Jun Woo is pale.)

You're right about that.

(I want to see too.)

- "Black and white?" - "Black and white."

- They are black and white stones.
- Exactly.

I really enjoyed your performances.

Thank you.

I was surprised by Park Jun Woo.

In the 1-on-1 battle, you stepped up.

(Including fancy techniques,)

(Park Jun Woo showed off all of his skills.)

That amazed me.

Because the judges kept complimenting him,

I couldn't help but get bothered.

At this rate, I could become First Class.

I will announce the result.

Park Jun Woo and Choi Ho Jong.

The one to get to First Class is...

It should be me.

That was only natural.

I had the feeling I could beat him.

The First Class is...

Choi Ho Jong. Congratulations.

(First Class of Group E, Choi Ho Jong)

(Showing gratitude with his hands together)

(Congratulations.)

- The king is back.
- It has to be Ho Jong.

Jun Woo did well. But Ho Jong is First Class.

Ho Jong is unbeatable.

Jun Woo lost but fought well.

You've ranked First Class,

which is the highest. Congratulations.

Thank you.

It's a shame, but you did great.

You're Second Class. Good luck.

Well done, Jun Woo.

Great work.

Park Jun Woo will become big in the future.

Jun Woo was a good competitor.

Ho Jong would've been shocked.

I saw him for the first time and was very surprised.

Jun Woo. Good job.

Great job, Jun Woo.

You were cool.

(Sticking)

I became Second Class as hoped.

(A smile of relief)

As much as I put in my everything, I'm proud of myself.

It's finally my turn.

First Class.

(Feeling great)

Ballet Physical and Technique Audition.

(Sighing)

They must be nervous.

Group B.

Kim Tae Seok.

Jeon Tae Hu.

(Ballerino Jeon Tae Hu)

And An Si On.

(Ballerino An Si On)

In this group, the youngest...

and the oldest ballerinos will compete.

(This will be interesting.)

I feel the pressure because he's super young.

We are 15 years apart.

He's the youngest, 19 years old.

Being young isn't to be looked down upon.

His body was very light.

I'm confident in jumping.

I want to jump.

(Bothered)

(Jumping again...)

(and again)

He jumped very lightly.

I couldn't help but stare at him.

I was bringing my spirits up.

Tae Seok.

(Kim Tae Seok does a pirouette at the center.)

I hate losing.

From what I know, Ballerino Kim Tae Seok...

is in the Korean National Ballet.

He has a good physique...

and can jump really well.

Being able to do mostly all the moves,

I have confidence.

I came on this show to win.

All I had in mind was being First Class.

I must become First Class, period.

Let's take our first positions, please.

How Tae Seok is standing is very prince-like.

He looks relaxed.

I'm curious as to how this group will turn out.

Music,

- start.
- Cabriole.

(Cabriole)

The double cabriole was nice, and so was his head.

You can see he's enjoying it.

(Amazed)

(Pas couru jete)

His jumps are high.

It's very light.

Ciseaux.

(Stunned)

(Jeon Tae Hu excels at the ciseaux.)

Being young is the best.

(Group B wraps up without any mistake.)

It's great.

The Second Class is Ballerino An Si On.

He should've spun in a standardized position.

But his shoulders wouldn't stay down.

The turn-out is the norm.

But his feet on the ground would curve.

(Second Class of Ballet Group B, An Si On)

Round Three...

will start with Ballerino Kim Tae Seok.

Good luck.

It's a match between a veteran and a newbie.

Though I was granted Round Three,

I was full of worries.

I was already out of energy,

but Tae Hu was still going strong.

This one's tough.

Even if I'm tired, let's show what a pro is like.

(Smiling)

- Look at his smile.
- Five,

- four, - Here's the prince.

- three, two, - I imagined it as a performance...

- one. Go.
- and kept smiling.

(Round 3 Fixed Technique)

(1st tour en l'air)

That was clean.

He's good. I should do it like him.

(2nd tour en l'air)

(Slipping)

(Feeling bad)

Because the leg he landed on, the left leg, wasn't stable,

it bounced back.

I thought I could fight for First Class.

It's too early.

(3rd tour en l'air)

- Nice.
- That was really clean.

Here comes the manege.

(Manege)

- I love it.
- Okay.

He jumps really well.

His moves are energetic.

His manege, the way he stretches his left arm out to the direction...

he's heading, is on point.

As expected from a pro, he was good.

I'm the prince and the coolest person here.

I wanted to show them my specialty.

(All eyes are on him.)

(Astonished)

Double saut de basque.

(Kim Tae Seok finishes with double saut de basque.)

(In awe)

(That was perfect.)

Three, two, one.

Even saut de basque.

(Even a double saut de basque!)

Wait.

(I'm the prince of this place!)

He's different.

Yes, for sure.

This is what you call experience, Tae Hu.

Only when Tae Hu takes a note...

and brings something now, he has the opportunity.

I was worried but determined to put on a clean performance.

(Jeon Tae Hu starts.)

(1st tour en l'air)

(He's good.)

He jumped up straight.

The youngest is light.

(2nd tour en l'air)

That was nice.

He's strong.

Tae Hu jumped really well.

His cartilage must be soft.

This is fun.

(3rd tour en l'air)

It's truly a nip-and-tuck match.

I got nervous, thinking I could lose to him.

Even his tour en l'air was nice.

Let's look at his manege.

(Manege)

(Disappointed)

Jump low but far.

Jumping low, not high, and far...

would be more practical for Tae Hu.

My manege was definitely better.

(Jeon Tae Hu continues his manege without a mistake.)

I had to ace the last tour en l'air.

Two, one. Stop.

That's his weak move.

It was just 1.5 turns.

(Jeon Tae Hu landed with a missing turn.)

(Bummed out)

These two have completely different charms.

This is difficult.

(It's hard to decide.)

We'll know for sure here.

Let's make it up with the grand pirouette.

I can do it.

I'm First Class if I don't make any mistakes.

(Smiling again)

(I like his smile.)

- He's already performing.
- I meant...

This is not a survival anymore.

Don't mind him. Let's just focus on mine.

Do your best.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Go.

(Amazed)

Nice. His legs are high up.

How his body turns is great.

Tae Hu isn't doing well.

(Furrowing his brows)

His legs moving up and down...

affects the turn. It'll wear him down.

I thought I could beat him.

My legs were giving way.

I gutted it out.

Just a bit more.

- This is "Physical: 100." - Totally.

It's insane.

They're exhausted.

You can do it. Keep going.

You can do it. Keep going.

(He's great.)

(That's crazy!)

To do that right now?

You never know, so let's last until the end.

I can't let the youngest become First Class.

(His deadly attitude)

(He's in another class.)

Even attitude?

From grand pirouette to double a la seconde and attitude?

That's a veteran.

Keep spinning. I simply pushed myself with determination.

Just watching them hurts. Who made ballet?

(Staggering)

Hold it.

(Grunting)

(Kim Tae Seok lasts until the 32 count.)

Goodness.

He's got incredible stamina.

He was giving it his all.

(Kim Tae Seok is using up all of his energy.)

(Group B's Physical and Technique Audition ends.)

Such passion!

- They were really cool.
- That was impressive.

(Shocked)

(Kim Tae Seok and Jeon Tae Hu showed an impressive match.)

- They must be tired.
- Of course.

I spun until the end,

but it wasn't satisfying.

I'm proud of myself.

(Kim Tae Seok praises himself.)

Great job, you two.

I will announce the result.

I enjoyed this group very much.

Jeon Tae Hu.

I felt as if you needed more performance quality.

I enjoyed you technically.

But I feel that you have a lot more to work on for your artistry...

and for your artistic side.

Kim Tae Seok. I enjoyed your performance.

Anyone can pull off...

academic moves through training.

But a dancer enjoying ballet...

with a smile on...

and facially expressing what they feel...

is very rare.

I thoroughly enjoyed your performance.

Thank you.

(The prince appreciates.)

(Who is First Class of Group B?)

Ballerino Jeon Tae Hu...

and Ballerino Kim Tae Seok.

The First Class is...

Ballerino Kim Tae Seok. Congratulations.

(First Class of Group B, Kim Tae Seok)

Thank you.

(Jeon Tae Hu is bummed out but agrees.)

(Great job.)

- You're First Class.
- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.
- I really enjoyed your work.

I realized I still love...

and adore ballet in my heart.

I found confidence...

I could still do it,

which made me happy.

- You did well.
- Thank you.

You are Second Class.

Becoming First Class right away is no fun.

Stepping up, taking, and conquering the other dancers' classes...

is more interesting.

(Contemporary Dance)

(Yang Seong Yun, Ha Won Jun, Ryu Tae Young, Lee Chang Min)

Group C.

(Group C: Yang Seong Yun, Ha Won Jun, Ryu Tae Young)

Are there only three dancers?

Due to Lee Chang Min's injury in Group C,

he was automatically placed in Under Class.

(Round 2 for Group C started right away.)

(Ha Won Jun showed great balance.)

(Even a side tilt)

(Yang Seong Yun pulled off difficult techniques.)

(Ryu Tae Young emphasized flexibility more than technique.)

(Ryu Tae Young got Second Class.)

Here you go.

I had to be brazen to win.

(Surprised)

(Ha Won Jun counterattacked.)

Come at me.

I had to go wild.

(Sliding, Surprised, It must be hurt)

(Yang Seong Yun overpowered the air.)

That was amazing. You're in First Class.

(Contemporary Dance)

(Jang June Hyuk, Lee Jeong Hoon, Han Jeong Bin, Oh Hyeok Heon)

And next is Group D.

(Group D: Jang June Hyuk, Han Jeong Bin)

(Group D: Lee Jeong Hoon, Oh Hyeok Heon)

What a nice jump.

(Amazed)

His steps are accurate.

- The rainbow.
- That was clean.

It's a party of techniques.

I should've practiced my techniques more.

(Oh Hyeok Heon got Under Class.)

Goodness.

From gainer...

- to balance.
- Balance.

It's Han Jeong Bin. Great job.

- Cool.
- One at a time.

Yes.

They're on a roll.

This group is full of techniques.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Really.

- First Class. Congratulations.
- Thank you.

(Korean Dance Physical and Technique Audition)

Here is Group A.

His one-leg spin was clean.

- Seonja was nice.
- That seonja was perfect.

(Shin Doung Woo got Under Class.)

- That was a difficult technique.
- Yes.

He did an aerial turn.

(The modified technique burdened Kim In Su.)

You completed this far.

(Park Cheol Woo caught the eyes with Korean dance breathing and moves.)

(Getting a head start with the difficult swan technique)

(First Class of Group A, Cho Tae Yoon)

First Class.

I proved myself to be good at techniques. It made me happy.

I'm in bliss.

(Group A First, Second, and Under Class)

(Korean Dance Group C)

(Kim Hyo Joon, Lee Young Woo, Han Sang Ik, Sung Hun Mo)

He brings out the Korean vibe well.

That was a powerful seonja jump.

- You are Under Class.
- Understood.

His feet's rhythm and breathing are nice.

That just now was narak roll.

He saved up the challenging technique until now.

You are Second Class. You can leave the floor.

(Han Sang Ik got Second Class.)

(Sung Hun Mo's traditional moves captivate the coaches.)

He's witty.

Kim Hyo Joon.

- Goodness.
- Nice.

(A perfect finish)

(First Class of Group D, Kim Hyo Joon)

I felt great. It was mine.

(Group C First, Second, and Under Class)

And finally, Group F.

(Kim Sang Gil, Kim Min Suk, Choi Jong In, Kang Seong Bae)

- He's not bad.
- That was clean.

- Min Suk has a good foundation.
- He sure does.

Jong In stays in the air longer compared to his physique.

- You're right.
- He has a light body.

It's Kim Sang Gil.

This is the killer move in "Kung Fu Panda."

(He killed it.)

- Goodness.
- What?

His modified dance moves...

- are excellent.
- I agree.

The Second Class dancer is Kang Seong Bae.

(Kim Min Suk takes the front seat.)

He's younger but pushed his way out.

(Choi Jong In steps in front of Kim Min Suk.)

(Look at me.)

(Who is First Class in Group F?)

(The ending fairy)

(The Shaolin Panda's perfect finish)

He blocked him completely.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

(Group B First, Second, and Under Class)

(The Physical and Technique Auditions have ended.)

(The STF dancers have gathered.)

(There's a peculiar atmosphere among the dancers.)

(Under Class, 2nd Class, 1st Class)

I was happy to get a good class.

I felt strangely embarrassed.

Through the Physical and Technique Auditions,

the classes of 24 contemporary dancers...

have been decided.

The classes of 24 Korean dancers...

have been decided.

The classes of 16 ballerinos have been decided.

(Ballet Physical and Technique Audition Judging Groups and Classes)

Here is the First Class who showed the most outstanding...

physical and technical moves.

(Revealing ballet's First Class)

Kang Gyeong Ho.

I should do my best to suit my place.

(Ballet Group A's Physical and Technique Audition)

Nice cabriole.

- Aren't his jumps great?
- Absolutely.

- Goodness.
- Oh, my.

I like Gyeong Ho.

- Kim Tae Seok.
- Expressing the feelings...

is my strongest point. I did my best.

- My goodness.
- Nice.

- Yes.
- That calmness.

Facially expressing what they feel is very rare.

Shin Min Kwon.

I'm the best when it comes to ballet.

Nice.

How is he that good?

He kept dancing with a delicate smile.

Kim Yu Chan.

As First Class, I better prove myself worthy.

(Stretch)

Gosh, Yu Chan.

He's very detailed and flexible.

(Revealing Korean dance's First Class)

(Ballet's First Class)

- Cho Tae Yoon.
- My techniques killed everyone.

(Korean dance Group A's First Class Cho Tae Yoon)

Good grief.

- Try to beat me.
- Nice.

(Korean dance Group B's First Class Kim Si Won)

Kim Si Won.

Great job, Si Won. You got First Class.

Kim Hyo Joon.

My flexibility and time in the air...

must've worked as my weapon.

(Korean dance Group C's First Class Kim Hyo Joon)

That just now...

Kim Kyu Nyeon.

My strong point is expressiveness.

He's got passion.

- It's beautiful.
- Nice.

- Choi Ho Jong.
- I expected nothing less.

It was only natural to become First Class.

He's relaxed.

(Korean dance Group E's First Class Choi Ho Jong)

His sensitivity is a whole other level.

(Korean dance Group F's First Class Kim Min Suk)

Even his parallel spin is clean.

And Kim Min Suk.

"I'm First Class?" I got overwhelmed.

(Feeling proud)

(Korean Dance's First Class)

Kim Hye Hyun.

Hye Hyun dances cleanly.

- He's got good energy.
- His moves are precise.

(Contemporary dance Group A's First Class Kim Hye Hyun)

I'm in joy. I want to maintain my class.

Kim Young Woong.

I showed off all of my techniques.

Getting First Class was a given.

- He's like a beast.
- Right.

(Contemporary dance Group B's First Class Kim Young Woong)

- Amazing. Perfect.
- Gosh.

Yang Seong Yun.

(Seong Yun put on wild techniques.)

(Contemporary dance Group C's First Class Yang Seong Yun)

My skin hurts.

I have no fear of getting demoted.

Jang June Hyuk.

(Jang June Hyuk showed powerful techniques.)

(Shocked)

(Contemporary dance Group D's First Class Jang June Hyuk)

It was wild. I had no regrets.

Yun Hyeok Jung.

I must protect my class.

His movements are agile.

(His techniques were in balance.)

He's strong and has the energy.

Go Dong Hoon.

What a clean move.

He's light.

(Contemporary dance Group F's First Class Go Dong Hoon)

I'm happy though I do feel the burden.

Now that I'm really in Under Class, it's like I got struck in the head.

It's going to make me cry.

But Under Class is where I'm in right now.

I'm at the edge now. I'll crawl up step by step.

The more I think about it, the more absurd it is.

I'm in Second Class. This is wrong.

I was so close to becoming First Class.

Nobody would be satisfied with that.

This is our first mission.

Everything starts now.

Starting with 2nd and finishing with 1st.

I believe an epic will make things better.

It's cruel.

I feel like I'm a fool.

I was disappointed.

I should work harder.

It's true that my performance wasn't good enough.

I'm just one step away from being First.

Let's focus on going up.

From now on, the Class Battle...

for contemporary dances begins.

It consists of a choreography combination audition.

(Dance Film Mission)

(Class Battle)

Today, dancers, who become First Class,

will receive benefits that can be useful...

in the Class Battle.

I should be ready well.

(Nodding)

That is, you will have a chance to create your choreography,

which will be used...

in the choreography combination audition.

You will have a chance to create your choreography.

(I knew it was coming.)

That's creating choreography, and I'm good at it.

So, I felt somewhat disappointed.

Please, technique shouldn't be included.

I thought it would be so good if my choreography was selected.

It sounds fun.

It's getting serious.

(First Class also hears about the benefits.)

You'll join the audition with the self-created choreography.

What a relief that I got First.

Challenging with my choreography...

will be a great benefit.

Of course, it sounds like a good option,

but I never thought my dance skills would fall behind.

Whatever comes won't block me.

All of the 24 Korean dancers...

should proceed to the higher class,

using the First ones' choreography.

This makes me feel frustrated.

Competition never ends.

It sounds intriguing.

There's a step for me to proceed, so now...

It doesn't matter who creates the choreography.

My aura will engulf all of you.

First Class dancers should keep their positions,

using your choreography.

I should keep my seat here.

I'm not interested in going down again.

I'm well prepared.

Now, the audio of the contemporary dance film is...

revealed.

(The audio of the contemporary dance film is now revealed.)

(First Kim Hye Hyun focuses and listens to it to keep his position.)

(Second Jung Hye Seong tries to catch the point to take his.)

(Under Kim Eun Hyuk renews his heart and mind, looking for a promotion.)

This is one of my favorites.

"Moonlight" was spreading all over there.

What about taking an easy step?

It was tranquil and eager.

What should I do? Or this will do.

This music will make my dance more sophisticated.

The music is quite sexy.

It leads to a quite strong mood.

Where should I focus on?

I felt like it was boosting my energy.

I thought it was rather sexy.

I guessed my movement should match it.

Triple time can be interesting if used well.

I was somewhat confident.

(I like this.)

Now, the audio of the contemporary dance film is revealed.

I was hoping it would be classical music.

I was of two minds. Excited and worried.

(The audio of the ballet dance film is now revealed.)

(The audio that will be used in the Class Battle is now revealed.)

(Focused)

It's "Swan."

Oh, this is for me.

I could feel the movement of the swan through it.

Actually, I was confident.

I was listening to the lyrics.

I thought I needed to organize a well-built story.

The audio of the Korean dance film is now revealed.

(The audio of the Korean dance film is now revealed.)

(Now, the audio of the Korean dance film is revealed to everyone.)

(Focused)

As soon as I heard the musical pitch of the court music,

I could feel that was for me.

That piece would fit me well.

I felt I could show the elegance of the Korean style.

(After the introduction of the court music, a lively beat is added.)

(His eyes crinkle.)

(Nice)

That's so fetch!

(The trendy music makes them move their bodies first.)

What kind of dance will suit this piece?

I imagined it in my head.

Some distinctive movement combined with this music...

will be something.

This is totally for me, including the change of the rhythm.

If I can create the movement, it may be the best of all.

What a miss that the young boy took my chance.

(Kim Min Suk: He took First from Choi Jong In.)

Oh, this is cool.

I was creating my movement...

while listening to it.

I know more...

about the current trend, aren't I?

Because I'm young.

(Interested)

(This will be interesting.)

What others in First will do with this?

(Everyone starts clapping.)

(The audio of the Korean dance film is heard by everyone now.)

From now on, the six in the First Class...

should create choreography with this music.

Only 1 choreography of 6 will be selected...

for the audition choreography.

Oh, the competition in the First Class has begun now.

I hate to lose.

Whoever my opponent is.

The last choreography will be chosen by the six in the First.

How should I create to be selected by all?

I should avoid things that only I can do.

I should reveal my weakness.

Only 1 choreography of 4 will be selected...

for the audition choreography.

(Feeling a headache)

I suddenly came to my senses.

As we compete for only one seat.

This program will get me...

in the end.

Okay. Let's go.

I can be the top among these four.

This whole thing pressured me.

Yu Chan has many experiences in creating choreography.

Kim Yu Chan!

He's an expert. Everyone admits it.

I should hold him in check, naturally.

To maintain my position here,

mine should be selected.

Everyone should do well with mine,

but slightly favorable to me.

I will add my strength to the choreography.

From now on, create your choreography.

(A chance to create a choreography is given to the First Class.)

I was feeling so good.

I got the benefit of creating choreography,

which I like the most.

I got a chance to create choreography...

If mine is selected,

it will be a favorable situation for me.

I can do well because I'm an expert in this part.

(Time to create choreography by the First Class has finally begun.)

(First Class in the contemporary dance group)

It drives me crazy.

Apparently, Hyeok Jung created well,

showing his strength.

Isn't it that everyone adds what he does well?

(Smiling)

(Being serious, suddenly)

I could have created only what I could do.

But being chosen by others was the top priority.

Taking easy steps appeared to be better.

(Young Woong is fully focused.)

But for me, instead of Hyeok Jung,

I was worried about Young Woong.

I'm confident.

Things only I can do.

It might be difficult for others.

Korean dancers are good at creating these movements.

I saw a monster there.

(Who is the monster in the Korean dancer group?)

How can he...

Look at his movement.

(The monster, Choi Ho Jong)

He's crazy. He's just so good at it.

I'm at a loss for words.

(His movements overwhelm all of the others.)

Of course, it's Choi Ho Jong.

Everybody expects his great performance.

Ho Jong's choreography may be a good choice.

When creating choreography is given to me,

it's better to give up...

if you aren't ready yet.

But I'm so ready.

But the skills are not all when choosing the best choreography.

I should modify it a little so others can do well too.

Choosing the choreography that suits me the best...

will finally lead me to the next mission.

- I won't vote for you.
- You dance like a machine.

Just seeing it makes me feel burdened.

- No one can do that!
- How could we choose that?

It should be the choreography created with the best movements.

"I will go with the easy ones. I will choose what I can do well."

Then, who would see our performance and who would dance with it?

Is it your concept?

I know more about the current trend, aren't I?

Because I'm young.

I can create well.

But I can't be sure of it...

as other choreography may suit me better.

(Taking a lunch break)

Am I allowed to ask such things?

- What do you mean?
- I mean the criteria to choose.

We should be a strategist for this.

I mean whenever we choose this kind of thing.

It's all about psychological warfare.

"It's so cool!"

By the way, should I perform that?

That's what you think.

Even if you say, "That's so fun!"

Whose will be chosen?

(In the meantime, the ballet dancers in the First Class group...)

(Just staring the floor)

(When their eyes meet,)

(they just run away.)

(Smiling bitterly)

(Just staring at the ceiling)

(Is there something over there?)

(Spacing out)

(Sighing)

The thing is, in ballet,

we don't create much choreography.

It was a shock.

I was stunned.

That is, you will have a chance to create your choreography,

which will be used in the choreography combination audition.

(Eyes getting bigger)

(Eyes widely opening)

(Shocked)

I was out of my mind since then.

(What should I do?)

The thing is, in ballet,

we don't create much choreography.

I was so nervous.

We always have the structure.

We have a storyline to perform.

Then, we take turns.

I'm ready to perform if somebody points me out.

But we're not a composer.

(Just laughing)

It's not a benefit,

but a special training.

I never imagined...

creating my choreography.

I did once, but...

We are not the kind of creators.

I was rather embarrassed.

Creating something is...

beyond my imagination.

Being First might have been my mistake.

I just can't. What should I do?

- We can.
- Seriously.

Be confident.

(Someone is creating choreography very quickly.)

I was quite confident, to be honest.

Because I became First...

as I impressed others...

after creating the choreography.

They recognized it.

(Looking sharply)

I thought that Gyeong Ho's choreography...

would be less ordinary than others.

(Watching carefully)

I was half worried and half wary.

(Concentrating 200 percent)

When you hope to do it better than others,

nothing is possible.

Let's choreograph something that's different from others.

Compared to other dancers in First Class,

I'm likely to have more experience.

I must win this no matter what.

I believe that I'm a dancer...

who makes it in pressing situations.

People will be flustered by my choreography.

Everyone, look forward to it.

Amazing music, amazing situation, and amazing background.

(Full of confidence)

They deserve an amazing choreography.

(Among First Class dancers in every genre,)

(whose choreography will be chosen...)

(for the Class Battle?)

(The Class Battle)

(The next day at STF Dance Company)

Hello.

(The dancers arrive in the locker room.)

- Did you sleep well?
- I slept well.

- You did?
- Yes.

My thighs aren't working.

Oh, no. It looks like you had a rough night.

It's funny...

how familiar it feels here just because we were here yesterday.

Under. Gosh.

Huddle up, Under Class.

The vibe is clearly different from yesterday.

Right.

I felt camaraderie between me and the other Under Class dancers...

because I was the first to join.

They said that Class Battle would be cruel.

It's cruel for the four of us.

(Kim Tae Yeon, Park Min Woo, and Choi Kyu Tae in Under Class)

- Right.
- It's very cruel for us.

We listened to the music yesterday.

Did any of you feel confident?

I think I'll do better than you.

(You're in Under Class. Feeling dizzy)

Are you being bossy with the Under Class already?

It can't be helped. I'm sorry,

but Under Class dancers should be quiet.

I was aware of Min Chan's presence...

because I wanted to make his position mine.

During the Class Battle,

I'll get out of Under Class no matter what.

(Korean dance locker room)

(Patting)

(Falling off)

Thank you for taking off my Second Class tag.

It's okay. I'm in Under Class.

(You're better off than me.)

All I could do was feel jealous of them.

I'm so sleepy.

I was so angry with myself...

that I couldn't sleep.

(They also feel uneasy.)

- Let's get promoted.
- Definitely.

(A weak handshake)

- See you in the class above.
- I think...

I'll get promoted.

I'm too good for this class.

- Really?
- I feel it.

It was very embarrassing.

I was determined to move up fast.

To First Class no matter what.

I wonder what kind of choreography they came up with.

(Second and Under Class dancers are curious about the choreography.)

Who will it be?

We won't get the right to vote, right?

Of course not.

(Laughing sadly)

There will be dances of various styles.

They won't pick something odd to keep themselves in check, right?

I thought about that too.

I hope that it won't involve a lot of technique.

- Please.
- I agree.

My technique is on the weaker side.

I was very worried about that.

Please leave technique out of it.

I hope that it'll be Hyeok Jung's choreography.

I felt that Hyeok Jung's dance style...

was similar to mine.

I could steal it from him.

I thought that...

I could steal his choreography that he worked hard on.

I root for Hye Hyun.

- Really?
- Yes.

Hye Hyun's dancing style is calm...

and clean.

His choreography would be easy to follow.

What kind of choreography did First Class dancers come up with?

Whose choreography do you want to avoid?

Yu Chan.

(He completely agrees.)

His dancing style isn't easy for men.

Any choreography except Yu Chan's would be fine.

I thought that he'd make us stretch our legs and be flexible.

If he choreographs it with a skill that only he can pull off,

we would be completely doomed.

I think Min Kwon's choreography might be...

easier than others.

- Yes.
- We went to the same school,

but I've never seen his creation.

I've been doing classical ballet.

We have never done contemporary dance,

but the choreography will include classical ballet moves.

If Min Kwon's choreography gets chosen,

I will have the upper hand.

I can't wait to find out.

Whose choreography got chosen?

I bet all of them...

came up with an intense choreography with a lot of moves.

The music leaves a strong impression.

You can't dance slowly to the fast beat.

I'm curious.

I hope that there won't be any rolling on the floor.

There will be a lot in Hyo Joon's choreography.

What kind of dance style will it be?

I know his dancing style,

so I could imagine it.

I bet Ho Jong made it difficult.

It will be intense...

with moves like this.

Choi Ho Jong is the dancer among dancers.

He's at the top,

so I didn't want to do his choreography.

As long as I don't compete against Ho Jong,

I can make it to First Class.

Kyu Nyeon will include his typical moves...

like this.

Similar to his usual moves, Kyu Nyeon will...

probably include many segments in his dance.

He's also good at it.

I don't care about the choreography.

What's important is joining the First Class.

I need to change this.

Did you finish making the choreography?

We worked hard to earn the First Class tag.

Let's make it worth it.

Let's compete.

(Ballet Dance Film Class Battle Choreography Nominees are revealed.)

(Surprised)

(Very curious)

(First choreographer, Kim Tae Seok)

- There it is.
- Tae Seok.

Our prince.

(Choreography Nominee 1, Kim Tae Seok)

It has a clear theme.

He looks like a swan.

He obviously thought of the swan as the only theme.

Anyone could have come up with such a choreography.

Are you saying that it's cliche?

(Nodding)

(Choreography Nominee 2, Kang Gyeong Ho)

(Gyeong Ho shows strong energy from the start.)

(Exclaiming)

He's a technician.

It only involves strong moves...

that only Gyeong Ho can do.

Amazing.

(Feeling proud)

It's amazing, but...

- It's difficult.
- Only Gyeong Ho can do it.

Why can't you do it?

Is he...

looking down on us?

The moves were powerful like Gyeong Ho.

It's so Gyeong Ho.

Are they keeping me in check?

I don't think it's that hard to do.

I think Yu Chan didn't want mine to get picked.

(Choreography Nominee 3, Kim Yu Chan)

(Yu Chan starts with gentle movements.)

It's slightly jazzy.

It looks lyrical.

As expected, it's detailed...

and pretty.

It isn't suitable for me.

(Exclaiming)

It's better than I expected.

- It was surprising.
- His dancing was unexpected.

Right.

It was the opposite of Gyeong Ho's.

- It's ballet.
- It's the first position.

(Choreography Nominee 3, Shin Min Kwon)

It looked too easy.

Overall, it looked like a combination in the classroom.

He stuck to the basic moves.

Isn't this a variation of what we did in Round One?

There's too much focus on one's foundation.

His choreography only shows...

basic ballet technique.

I want to avoid his choreography the most.

- Me too.
- Me too.

I wouldn't look good doing it.

Will First Class dancers think what we think?

Their priority is getting their choreography picked.

It will be their priority.

A choreography that isn't difficult might get picked.

I wonder which one they picked.

(Worried)

Let's start by taking out the worst one.

(Eliminating the worst choreography first)

I think Yu Chan's choreography is the worst.

My pick is...

Tae Seok's.

I think that it's Tae Seok's.

(With a majority vote, Kim Tae Seok is eliminated.)

I accept.

The three of you remain.

First of all,

I thought that my choreography was easy.

It's only because I danced it with my style.

I think you'll be able to dance it better than me.

I said this to convince you.

My choreography isn't difficult.

However, it's true that I made it advantageous for me.

I wanted mine to get chosen.

For me,

I have a lot of experience in choreography.

If my choreography gets selected,

I can include each dancer's personality and style.

I hope that you'll consider this aspect.

It was brutal.

To be honest,

I wasn't confident about my choreography,

so I knew that it'd be between Yu Chan and Gyeong Ho.

(What's the result of this intense war of nerves?)

(Shin Min Kwon's choreography is chosen.)

(Oh, no.)

This is the worst.

(Under Class dancers are in despair.)

I got this.

I'd have the upper hand in Min Kwon's choreography.

That's why I was happy inside.

Three.

(Min Kwon's choreography is picked automatically.)

He picked me again as the worst.

I didn't feel good about it.

Could you tell me why you picked me?

Keep it honest and simple.

I think Min Kwon's choreography will be easier...

for everyone to follow.

- So you picked mine.
- Yes.

In Yu Chan's choreography,

femininity is the strength.

I don't want to do that. It isn't the style I pursue.

"Don't make a choreography only you can do."

(Min Kwon's choreography gets chosen without much work.)

I was really happy.

The odds of me staying in the First Class...

went up.

I was really happy, but it put a lot of pressure on me.

(Half happy and half pressured)

(You can watch the dancers' full performances on The CHOOM.)

Thank you for your hard work.

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

(The atmosphere turns gloomy with the 4 dancers' entrance.)

(Silence fills the room.)

No one is saying a thing.

(The First Class dancers find it hard to open their mouths.)

Min Kwon, when you choreographed the dance,

what were your intentions and thoughts?

(Well)

I came up with the simple choreography...

everyone could do.

You thought...

- everyone could pull it off.
- Yes.

(Min Kwon picked the basic moves for friendly rivalry.)

There was a reason behind his standard.

There was a deep meaning.

(He meant well with his choice.)

He added all the moves I hated. He added all the moves I never use.

He won't care as long as he can do well.

- That's how it is.
- Seriously.

Hello, ballerinos.

I'm the host of Stage Fighter, Kang Daniel.

The evaluation of the Class Battle will be done in groups.

My goodness.

Each group will have two Under Class dancers,

four Second Class dancers, and two First Class dancers.

Three classes will make up a group.

The eight dancers must prove themselves...

in their respective classes.

That means there will be two groups.

Class Battle of the team of eight dancers...

will determine the final number of dancers in each class.

After the Class Battle, the number of dancers...

who'll join the First Class is...

only one.

(In each group, only 1 dancer will join the First Class!)

Everyone will join the Under Class.

There will be more Under Class dancers.

This is insane.

Now, the groups will be revealed.

Let's go with this combination.

They'll compete and show us who's more noble.

Good idea.

(Happy)

I think the groups will be important.

My throat suddenly feels dry.

(Their throats go dry due to nervousness.)

(Group 1 of the Ballet Class Battle is revealed.)

Will we see all the names?

(Group 1: Kim Tae Yeon, Kang Yun Gu, Moon Jun On, Kang Gyeong Ho,)

(Kim Yu Chan, Jeon Tae Hu, Kim Sang Young, Choi Kyu Tae)

(What?)

(Chuckling)

- A big match.
- Strength versus gentleness.

(It'll be a big match between strength and gentleness.)

- What a tasty lineup.
- My goodness.

Okay.

I wanted to have a faceoff with Dancer Kang Gyeong Ho.

The time has come. Let's fight.

(Group 2: Park Min Woo, An Si On, Jung Sung Wook, Kim Tae Seok,)

(Shin Min Kwon, Kim Kyung Won, Jung Min Chan, Lee Ha Nel)

- It's neck-and-neck.
- Gosh.

In Group 2, the 2nd Class dancers are quite strong.

(The 2nd Class dancers make Group 2 strong.)

I must join the First Class.

Both groups are intense.

(Which 2 dancers will join the 1st Class?)

(The 1st Class dancers of Korean dance gather around.)

Does anyone want to go first?

(Reading the room)

(Reading the room)

I'll go first.

(Getting up)

(The spirit of the youngest dancer)

(Choreography Nominee, Kim Min Suk)

Here it comes.

I wonder how the youngest members did.

(How will be Kim Min Suk's choreography?)

(The older members focus.)

(Choreography Nominee 1, Kim Min Suk)

I could see the traces of his new attempts.

He tried to come up with a witty choreography.

But it was weak.

It was like a student's work.

It wasn't a professional's work.

It isn't bad, but I think there'll be a better one.

I'm curious about this one.

I think there'll be many techniques.

(Dancer Cho Tae Yoon is a former acrobat.)

(He proved himself to be the master of techniques.)

He did the corkscrew and the swan.

(Choreography Nominee 2, Cho Tae Yoon)

I didn't really want to do the dance.

He didn't add many techniques.

It was a dance anyone could do.

He probably knew that adding techniques...

would keep his choreography from getting picked.

(Choreography Nominee 3, Kim Kyu Nyeon)

He didn't show his potential fully.

I feel like it's weaker than his recent choreography.

(Choreography Nominee 4, Kim Hyo Joon)

It wasn't very memorable.

He came up with an easy choreography so that others would select it.

But it wasn't very tasteful.

They could've thought of it as a benefit...

and came up with a choreography with moves they were good at.

It wasn't a choreography that was worth selecting.

I'll go next.

(After the unsatisfied assessment, Kim Si Won goes next.)

At this point,

I can't predict his choreography even though I know his dance...

- very well.
- I know.

(What kind of choreography will Kim Si Won show?)

(Choreography Nominee 5, Kim Si Won)

He expresses the Korean vibe in a cool way.

That choreography...

suits the music more.

There were aspects Korean dancers could pull off well.

I think it was quite approachable.

(Kim Si Won's choreography ends.)

There were moves Korean dancers were used to.

It was a choreography that made good use...

of the line of the Korean dance.

I think everyone will be able to do the dance.

If you make such an easy choreography,

someone else will pull it off better.

It's quite doable.

I think I can do that dance well.

I can bring out the details.

Those were the movements I could pull off well.

That choreography is the most likely to be selected.

I think mine will get selected.

My strategy wasn't wrong.

(Lastly, Choi Ho Jong's choreography gets revealed.)

The time has come.

Ho Jong's choreography is bound to be good.

(Amidst everyone's expectations, Choi Ho Jong's choreography begins.)

(Choreography Nominee 6, Choi Ho Jong)

(Impressed)

The movements were unique.

He's such a pervert.

He really made what he wanted to do.

I found it charming.

It was something only he could do well.

(Choi Ho Jong's choreography ends.)

All right.

(Nodding)

(Silence fills the room.)

(A round of applause breaks the silence.)

It was insane.

It was bad.

I thought my choreography would get selected,

but Ho Jong made a cool dance people would want to copy.

But it looked too difficult.

I don't know if I'll be able to do it.

How do I do that kind of dance?

I don't think I can do that.

I won't be able to bring out the special vibe.

I'll look like an octopus if I do the dance.

(Chuckling)

I really enjoyed the dance.

- It suited my taste.
- Thank you.

What's unfortunate is...

that the dance is...

too difficult...

for a large number of people. Because of that...

I didn't think about whether everyone could do the dance.

I don't think...

the quality of the choreography should be adjusted...

for the sake of competition.

So I didn't adjust the difficulty level.

I'm just worried about...

how we'd teach the choreography.

(They have many worries regarding the difficult choreography.)

(Let me think.)

So you're worried about people not being able to do this?

(So you're worried about people not being able to do this?)

(How strange)

- The difficulty level...
- The difficulty level...

- Well...
- If you can't do this dance...

(If you can't do this dance...)

You should go home.

You should go home.

I guess some people will go home.

(Glancing over)

If my choreography doesn't get selected,

I'll focus my attention...

on doing much better than other choreographers.

So make a wise decision.

(Smiling, Laughing)

(Choking)

All the votes will go to Choi Ho Jong and Kim Si Won.

The First Class dancers were racking their brains and thinking,

"How can I come out on top?"

I'm so torn.

I know that there's a strategic choice.

Si Won and Ho Jong.

Whose choreography should I choose?

Choi Ho Jong is already unrivaled in terms of dance skills.

If his choreography gets chosen as well,

the First Class dancers will be threatened.

I think Si Won's choreography will be easier.

I wouldn't know what to do with Ho Jong's choreography.

The choreography you can copy easily is Kim Si Won's.

The choreography that'll show each person's dance skills...

is Ho Jong's.

That's why I like it.

That's why I like it.

We should shake things up.

(The final choreography gets revealed.)

- My goodness.
- Did they pick a choreography?

Please.

(Choi Ho Jong's choreography is chosen.)

We need to learn that choreography now, right?

(He gets a reality check.)

(Ho Jong)

(The majority chose Ho Jong's choreography.)

(Disappointed)

I think it's quite distinguished from the easy choreographies.

A difficult choreography will show who's better.

I'll be able to show my talent more.

I have a chance.

I learned from Ho Jong,

so I can pull off his choreography.

(You can watch the dancers' full performances on The CHOOM.)

I was quite disappointed.

But since things have come to this, I'll do a better job.

- What's this?
- My goodness.

(The groups will be revealed.)

Oh, no.

The First Class dancers in your group will be important.

I just hope it isn't Choi Ho Jong.

You wouldn't be in his group since it happened once already.

If it happens again, it'll be unreasonable.

(Group 1)

(Park Jun Woo: This can't be happening.)

(Park Jun Woo's days of struggle)

The world is out to get me.

I must defeat him to become a First.

I felt anxious about it.

(The big match between Kim Si Won and Choi Ho Jong)

(It has finally come.)

The person in 1st Class is being reduced to 1,

and it's too big a shame for Ho Jong and I...

to face one another.

(He can only laugh.)

But it's entertaining.

(Group 2)

This one will be interesting too.

Gosh, what do we do?

I want to steal it.

Oh, this will be my stage.

I'll take the First Class.

Gosh, I really have to keep my spot.

This could really be a difficult fight.

(Group 3)

This group is tough too.

Moo Gan or Kyu Nyeon...

will definitely try to come up.

That's why I think I should be more alert too.

I'm confident. I don't think there's anyone...

who seems to be a threat to my First Class.

I'm in a position where I must go up.

Hyo Joon and Kyu Nyeon.

I think I should just look toward those two.

(The beginning of the contemporary dance Class Battle)

(The fierce competition of the two Firsts, Young Woong and Hye Hyun)

(The battle between awe-inspiring flashy technique...)

(and bountiful expression)

(What was the result that left everyone in shock?)

(To be continued)

(Day of the Class Battle)

(The stage lights come on...)

(for the fierce battle of the STF dancers.)

(The first to enter the Class Battle are the ballerinos.)

The scale is so huge.

It felt very overwhelming.

Now, it's really the beginning.

I should take the First Class.

(Next, the Korean dancers enter.)

Let's just do well this once.

Let's go to First.

I was nervous, for sure.

Let's escape from the Under Class.

It's a battle between Ho Jong and me.

I have no intention of going down from First Class.

(Lastly, the contemporary dancers enter.)

All the guys who do contemporary dance have great bodies.

I created this choreography, so I should keep my place.

I thought I wouldn't feel nervous, but I was so nervous.

I really want to become First.

(While everyone is bracing themselves before the Class Battle)

(What is it?)

(MC Kang Daniel appears, looking out at the dancers.)

Oh, it's Kang Daniel.

(Amazed)

It's a celebrity.

The class battle of dancers where they fight with their bodies,

Stage Fighter. Hello.

I continue to join you dancers since the "Street" series.

I'm your MC, Kang Daniel. Please look kindly upon me.

(A rowdy cheer)

(It's nice to meet you.)

Today is the day of Stage Fighter's Class Battle.

(His gaze changes.)

Based on the class you're given in the Class Battle,

your roles in the first mission of Stage Fighter,

the Dance Film, will be decided.

The Firsts will get leading roles who will be able to have solo parts.

The Seconds will get supporting roles.

The Unders will be dancing in a large group...

as an ensemble.

Let's just avoid becoming an Under.

Becoming an Under would hurt my pride.

I didn't want to go into the ensemble.

The Class Battle will be done in Class Movement Evaluations.

In the Class Movement Evaluations, each dancer must endlessly prove...

that he has the correct level of talent,

befitting the class he is in.

This is hard.

We don't know how many dances we will be performing.

How about he comes to Second?

Yes.

(The classes change according to how well they prove themselves.)

This is humiliating.

Darn it.

This is tough.

I think he is Under.

Oh, back to Under.

This is bleeding me dry.

I think I only kept sighing.

If you prove yourself,

you can keep your class or be promoted to a higher class.

The dancer who will be promoted from Under...

- This is an extreme plot twist.
- I'm getting goosebumps.

If you cannot do so,

you could get demoted to a lower class.

Through the Class Battle, there will only be one dancer...

who will become the First...

in each group.

(There is only 1 1st in each group.)

There was only 1 spot for the 1st.

This is a spot we need to fight tooth and nail for.

I really want to take this spot.

I will never go back down.

I don't want anyone to take it. It's mine.

I hope you soar high to the class you want...

by showing off all of the skills that you have.

Believe in yourselves and exude all of your passion.

From now on, it's war.

Since I choreographed this, I believe I'll take First.

I'm confident my class won't change.

Soon, the Class Battle for ballet...

will begin on Stage Fighter.

The ballerinos of Ballet Group 1,

please wait backstage.

I want to see it soon.

I am curious about the ballet performance.

- About what they'll do.
- I think it'll be interesting.

Is it starting now?

The Under Class ballerinos will enter first.

Ballerino Choi Kyu Tae.

Ballerino Kim Tae Yeon.

Looking good!

The vibe they have from the moment they come onstage...

That's important.

Right, they're taking the stage.

He's entering with determination.

I like this kind of vibe.

The Second Class, Ballerino Kim Sang Young.

Ballerino Moon Jun On.

- Ballerino Kang Yun Gu.
- Looking good!

Ballerino Jeon Tae Hu.

They must be nervous.

Lastly, the First Class.

Ballerino Kim Yu Chan.

- Ballerino Kang Gyeong Ho.
- Nice.

These are all eight dancers of the Ballet Class Battle,

judging group one.

Ballerinos have such beautiful physiques.

They have long legs and beautiful builds.

I know. They have such nice proportions.

How can they be like that? Why couldn't they share some with me?

I wish I could have some more length in my legs.

Hey, butt out.

I'm right here. I'm the more urgent case.

Yu Chan. Gosh, his waist would be worth a million dollars.

The guy on the left in the middle. His looks are all I can see.

Yu Chan and Gyeong Ho are rivals to begin with.

I totally want to beat Kang Gyeong Ho.

It bothers me a lot that it's Yu Chan.

I really want to beat him, actually.

(And the 2nd and Under dancers are vying for the 1st Class.)

(Glancing)

I really wanted the spot in the front.

Let's try to take it.

I think it's more entertaining...

to take someone else's spot.

Now, we will begin the Class Battle of Ballet Group One.

I'm so looking forward to this. Goodness.

I'm nervous.

First position.

Lights.

Music, start.

Five, four,

three, two, one. Go.

(Who will be the one to take the only 1st spot in Group 1?)

(Next week)

(What do we do about the left side?)

(I haven't thought of that yet.)

I haven't thought of that yet.

(But you're our teacher.)

(Keep acting like a fool.)

(That'll be good for me.)

(If he's like this, I could go up to First.)

(This is my chance. I have to grab it, no matter what.)

(I could go up.)

(Stirring)

(Please...)

(I wish they wouldn't do techniques.)

(We have to avoid technique the most.)

(Hyeok Jung is the one who's good at doing the fancy stuff.)

(Please let it be something I can get promoted with.)

(This is big trouble.)

(HIs choreography won't be enough.)

(I was a little anxious.)

(I'm not sure I can do Hyeok Jung's choreography.)

(The Contemporary Dance Class Battle judging group 2 is revealed.)

(I think Young Woong will be in Group 2 as well.)

(If you make one wrong move,)

(you might lose your spot.)

(Do you know what's important?)

(We're doing this position.)

(I think I was anxious.)

(Who'll take the leading role in the Contemporary Dance Class Battle?)
