Go!

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench is up first.)

- The bench team... - Gosh.

has to do well.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Show them your attitude. - Understood.

We're in first place right now. Show them what you've got.

- Okay. - Okay.

Let's go, "Baggy Jeans."

"Baggy Jeans."

- Go! - Let's go!

- Go kill it! - Good luck!

- Good luck! - Nice!

We will win. We are the winner.

Let's go, brother!

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

Go!

The first performance.

Please come on out, TEAM RHYTHM's bench players.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Kwon Hee Jun.

(Hee Jun)

Ayumu.

Eito.

Mac. Li Zhinuo.

Xie Yuxin. Jin Ziming.

Two, three.

- Rhythm! - Rhythm!

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

(We can do it!)

Hi.

- Hi. - We're TEAM RHYTHM's bench team.

- We're in your care. - We're in your care.

(Breathing out)

- Hee Jun looks nervous. - He's nervous.

Why does he look so sad?

Hee Jun!

But he easily gets nervous.

- Hee Jun. - Yes?

Are you confident you'll win today?

The starting team before us performed perfectly.

Ours will be much more perfect...

so TEAM RHYTHM can win first place in this match.

Let's do this!

- Let's do this! - Let's go!

Who says they can?

Our bench will get first place.

We didn't approve of it yet.

- I'm afraid... - No.

our bench will come first place.

- I'm sorry. - GROOVE's bench.

No. Sorry.

- We won't let that happen. - Never.

Never.

Being ambitious is good.

(We won't lose it.)

Nice. What performance did you prepare for today?

We prepared NCT U's...

"Baggy Jeans."

(Director TEN's group)

(Amazed)

(A catchy melody)

(The sharp performance is the signature of "Baggy Jeans.")

(That's the song?)

(I have faith in you guys.)

(What will TEAM RHYTHM's "Baggy Jeans" look like?)

- Look at them. - Let's go.

Here I go, guys.

- Let's go! - Oh, my gosh.

(The choreography starts with a catchy move.)

(Restrained power is the choreography's characteristic.)

I want this part.

- That's so cool. - It's cool.

The performance was really challenging.

"Will we be able to do it?"

That was my biggest concern.

(Excited)

Oh, my gosh.

- We are the winner. - Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm shocked right now. How do we...

(The choreography draft made the younger brothers excited.)

Calm down.

- Calm down. - The dance break is coming.

- How do we... - Sorry.

decide the parts?

Our parts.

As for your parts,

Directors TEN and YANGYANG will come the day after tomorrow.

They will decide your parts.

(Before the part distribution,)

We can do it.

(they have two days to practice.)

There's this choreography in the introduction.

I think that's the highlight.

(Part 1 is the catchy highlight of the introduction.)

I want to do part one.

Part one for sure.

I was going to get part one, one way or another.

(The players are practicing the parts they want.)

Hey.

Can you listen to me once?

I see.

I take another big breath

Can you do it more than strong?

- What? - More than strong.

"More than strong?" Do you mean stronger?

A little bit stronger.

I'll do my best.

Guys, I'll check your pronunciation.

Can you try?

(Correcting the pronunciation of the players not good at Korean)

(Glancing)

It's written as "I can do,"

- "I can do..." - but repeat after me.

"I can do."

(Coaching each player)

- Overall, we need to... - Yes?

We all...

need to articulate.

Okay?

(We all need to articulate.)

Right now, we look too kind.

And, just... "One, two, three..."

Hee Jun is very observative,

gentle,

and has a strong sense of responsibility.

In our group chat,

he uses all three languages.

It's to help our teammates understand better.

To be honest, I think I owe a lot of it...

to Hee Jun as well. So I'm really grateful that...

he's able to be there for us...

and give us that good feedback.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

(The evaluation starts with Jin Ziming.)

(Mac goes after him.)

(Unsure)

How do I do this?

Well...

Before memorizing the choreography,

you should get the basics of bouncing down first.

You don't look cool.

It's kind of...

"Baggy Jeans" needs that hip-hop vibe.

Right now, you have no groove in your body.

There's no groove at all.

You don't look cool.

Good luck.

(Feeling the pressure, it's Hee Jun's turn.)

(Biting his lips)

- Thank you. - Good job.

From what I see, you look too light.

Putting aside the lack of energy,

there's no accent in your dance, from beginning to end.

You're being too gentle. The moves need to connect more.

This one too.

This was the amount of energy you used.

You should practice dragging the move out until the end.

I think it'll look better if you practice dancing...

while extending your muscles.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

(Hee Jun's turn ended with disappointment.)

In today's interim check,

I couldn't show them as much as I had practiced.

I felt more bummed out than during practice.

- Next, Ayumu. - Yes.

Let's go.

- Good luck. - Let's go.

Dance.

(Focused eyes)

(Smiling brightly)

- Thank you. - Great job.

(The first compliment)

Your rhythm and bounce were good.

But here's one thing.

I want you to keep the moves going until the end.

Yes, but you danced well.

- Thank you. - Good.

(Ayumu is the only one who got praised.)

- Good job. - Now,

I will announce your parts.

- Okay. - Okay.

Part one...

(Announcing the parts right away)

(Nervous)

goes to Ayumu.

(The highlight)

That's what we decided.

Overall, today's performance...

didn't meet...

my expectations.

You know, right?

Who did well and who didn't today.

- Yes. - You should put in more effort.

- Either way, this is a team battle. - Right.

If you are to...

get the yellow card twice, you won't be able to perform.

Think of that when you practice.

- Let's do this. - Okay!

(He gives them cool-headed advice as he cares for his teammates.)

It was a bit disappointing, but I will do my best to practice...

and do well to perform.

(After the interim check and part distribution)

I should've been sent back to China if this were going to happen.

(I should've been sent back to China if this were going to happen.)

To be honest,

I don't want to accept the part distribution.

If I were to take that part,

I think I would've done a better job.

I'm dissatisfied.

(They practice again the next day.)

(They start warming up 1 by 1.)

There were a few members...

who had trouble focusing.

I think I showed my complaints about the part distribution...

a lot during practice.

There's a sound like a boom.

(Even during the dance lesson the next day,)

(he stood there blankly without thinking about practicing.)

(Jin Ziming can't seem to focus at all.)

One, two, three, four,

five, six.

Jin Ziming couldn't focus,

and he kept sitting on his own.

Eito is sick right now.

- Right. - Still?

I heard Eito is really sick.

Eito.

I think I can do anything

Eito missed practice for three days.

He kept sitting out because he was sick.

(He kept sitting out because he was sick.)

Eito missed almost everything.

(They try to practice without Eito.)

(They can't practice properly because of Jin Ziming and Eito.)

We are all here to achieve something.

If there are people who aren't even going to practice hard,

I don't know why they are here.

(Hee Jun, Jin Ziming)

(Hee Jun reaches out to him first as the older one.)

Jin Ziming is upset.

We can do this. Positive vibes!

But we're one team.

No matter how small their part is,

the performance cannot be complete without them.

I will make sure to put the performance together...

no matter what.

(It's finally the final day of practice.)

We did really well during the first chorus.

(Amazed)

Do you see our formation?

It can't get any better than this.

It's absolutely perfect.

This has to be applauded.

I really want to make my team become the winning team.

I will grind in everything that I have to make this possible.

We can do this.

(We can do this.)

Let's go, Kwon Hee Jun!

(Excited)

Ready? Go.

Ayumu is the center.

("Baggy Jeans" by Ayumu, Eito, Jin Ziming,)

(Kwon Hee Jun, Li Zhinuo, Mac, Xie Yuxin)

Nice.

Hey, let's go!

That was great.

- Check out their expressions! - Let's go!

He looks nervous. Oh, no.

He's straining too much.

- It's okay. - It's okay.

Just do well with the choreography.

Let's go!

(Frozen)

Let's go!

Baggy!

But...

- What is it? - Never mind.

Eito.

(The level of completion was below expectations,)

(and the members of TEAM RHYTHM become speechless.)

(Smirking)

(The other directors look a lot more confident.)

(The other directors look a lot more confident.)

As of right now...

As of right now,

I think you guys are untouchable.

(As of right now, I think you guys are untouchable.)

(The tables have turned in an instant.)

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench members...)

(are breathing heavily and struggling to lift their heads.)

(Slipping)

(The highlight was given up so easily with a mistake.)

(The dance moves were careless.)

(There was a voice crack too.)

(The level of completion was lacking overall for TEAM RHYTHM's bench.)

The vote will begin right away.

The vote will be an individual evaluation.

The team's rank will be decided...

after all individual scores are added together.

The one with the most votes will become the MVP.

(Round 1 Rules)

Three,

two,

one.

Okay.

(Voting closed.)

All right.

Let's see who will become the MVP.

This is really hard to decide.

I think it'll be the Korean guy.

(Hee Jun who did well with the main rapper part?)

- I think it'll be Xie Yuxin. - Xie Yuxin did really well.

- Right. - Right. Xie Yuxin.

(Xie Yuxin who performed with stable vocals?)

The MVP of this performance is...

(Who will become the MVP of TEAM RHYTHM's bench?)

Kwon Hee Jun!

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench's MVP, Kwon Hee Jun)

Congratulations!

(Hee Jun sees himself on the LED screen...)

(and bursts into tears.)

- Hee Jun. - Don't cry.

- Don't cry. - Great job.

(Hugging)

You did well!

- You did well! - Thank you, our leader.

You're the best leader.

(The teammates comfort Hee Jun who worked really hard.)

But it was really hard for him.

He had to communicate with them in English...

with the translation app.

(Relating to the leader)

(Holding in his tears)

It must've been hard for everyone, to be honest.

- Great job! - Thank you...

for following me until the end,

even though I lacked as a leader.

- You did well! - Don't cry!

- You did well! - Don't cry!

- Don't cry! - Don't cry!

To be really honest, it was very tough.

But we did our best to prepare for the performance.

Both my teammates and I worked very hard.

It's true that we were competing against each other,

but we prepared for the performance with our sweat and tears.

(A time of tears and laughter as teammates)

I felt grateful and sorry to my teammates...

at the same time.

- Don't cry! - Gosh!

- You did well. - You did well.

- You did well. - You did really well.

- You did really well. - Right.

- You all did well. - Thank you.

- "Baggy Jeans!" - You did well.

- Nice one. - Thank you.

- You did well. - Thank you.

You did well.

Hold on. It's us next.

- Right. - Isn't it us?

We have to turn things around.

(We have to turn things around.)

It isn't over until it's over.

Right.

(After watching the disappointing performance by TEAM RHYTHM,)

(TEAM BEAT sees this as a chance to turn things around.)

We will carry the team.

You should get us 3,000 points.

- Okay. We can do that. - Okay.

- Really? - Okay.

- This is why we are a team. - We can do this.

We'll get six yellow cards if it ends like this.

We'll turn things around with this performance...

and take first place.

(We'll take 1st place.)

(The only chance to turn things around with the ranks)

We'll move on to the next performance.

Make sure to do well.

- Let's go! - Passion!

- You trust us, right? - I trust you.

- Do well for us. - You trust us, right?

- The P word. Passion! - You are all we can trust now.

Okay.

Okay. Go and carry us.

- Okay! - Okay!

TEAM BEAT. One, two, three!

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

- Let's go! - Let's go and carry hard!

- Let's go! - Hard carry

- Get the moves right. - We'll get it done.

Don't feel nervous.

Do well for us.

Don't worry!

- Okay! - Let's go!

I'm feeling nervous.

These are the bench players of TEAM BEAT. Please come out.

(Yeo Gangdong)

Let's go!

Gosh.

We have racers here.

(TEAM BEAT's bench makes an intense appearance.)

They look amazing.

Koo Han Seo,

Kairi,

Yuito, Kang Jun Hyuk,

Kim Hyo Tae, Park Yeon Jun,

Nam Do Yoon.

(Yeo Gangdong)

(Kang Jun Hyuk)

Two, three.

We won't get discouraged.

(We won't get discouraged.)

Hello, we are...

- TEAM BEAT's bench! - TEAM BEAT's bench!

(Fully...)

(relaxed)

- Yes! - Let's go, TEAM BEAT's bench!

- BEAT! - Go!

(TEAM RHYTHM feels a greater sense of danger.)

I think they will do well.

- They might do really well. - Right.

(They feel nervous as their opposing team looks relaxed.)

All right, Han Seo.

What kind of performance did you prepare?

The song we prepared is...

a song by Director YUGYEOM, "Hard Carry" by GOT7.

(Hip-hop swagger)

(The powerful beat and difficult choreography...)

(stand out in the intense song, "Hard Carry" by GOT7.)

It's "Hard Carry" and "Baggy Jeans."

They are songs that go against each other.

The performance stands out with both songs.

("Baggy Jeans" and "Hard Carry" are known as performance songs.)

They changed the choreography really nicely.

- Really? - Yes.

It's really hot.

(Worried)

- "Baggy Jeans." - They will go against each other.

(Even the songs have similar vibes...)

(while they aren't certain about their win.)

Was there any hardship while practicing as bench players?

Since we became bench players,

it hurt our prides, and we were upset.

But since we are all talented enough to be in the starting lineup,

we will make sure to carry hard with today's performance.

- Great! - I love that!

(I love that confidence!)

- Show us what you've got! - Great!

(How were confident TEAM BEAT's practice sessions?)

Hello, everyone.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm the eldest in this team,

- and I became the leader. - Right.

You can all trust and follow me, right?

- Yes. - Yes.

Let's do this.

- Let's do this. - Let's go!

(Let's go, TEAM BEAT's bench!)

Actually, Han Seo was in front of me during the Bench Test.

He was the first one to go in front of me,

and I was so motivated by him.

- I see. - "Han Seo definitely is talented."

Really?

("Siren" was praised by the directors during the draft.)

(Koo Han Seo was the main rapper of Group "Siren.")

(He's good from Group "Siren.")

(Director YUGYEOM had his eyes on Koo Han Seo before the Bench Test.)

(The directors of TEAM BEAT went to Koo Han Seo right away.)

(Koo Han Seo started the Bench Test first.)

(Han Seo is really good!)

(He was scouted to TEAM BEAT's bench first.)

I was the first one to get scouted to the bench.

There's no one who can beat me from the bench.

You all heard that we will get yellow cards if we lose.

Right.

Let's carry the team while destroying the others.

Great.

We are bench players.

We have more of a disadvantage as we are bench players...

and a greater risk from getting the yellow cards.

I can never lose.

I will make sure this team wins.

(Koo Han Seo has thrown his life on the line for victory.)

I want to be the best in first place.

Kairi joined our team second.

I saw him and thought, "Our team is set."

"Our team is ready to win."

Kairi.

His dancing skills are amazing.

I did think that all of our members were talented,

but I was really impressed by Kairi...

who had already made his debut.

(Kairi made his debut through the 9-member boy group, TFN.)

(He has the experience of performing for 3 years.)

I thought that Kairi would carry our team,

and I was excited about that.

(The two ace players have gathered at TEAM BEAT's bench.)

I sang "Fighting."

- Right. I heard it. - I heard that one too.

Right.

Didn't you change the lyrics?

- There was "BSS" in the lyrics. - Right.

I changed it to my name.

- I see. - I see. The idea is good.

(During the Bench Test)

(Can we see any kind of dance from you?)

One, two, three, four.

(I am your)

(Nam Do Yoon)

In the repetitive day

(Nam Do Yoon's Bench Test that flustered everyone.)

(I am Nam Do Yoon)

(We have to cheer up)

(He was full of energy, but it was hard for him to get scouted.)

I was tested by the directors of TEAM RHYTHM twice,

but I failed to get scouted.

(The Bench Test was especially hard for Nam Do Yoon.)

(Can we see you?)

(A blue ray of hope came to Nam Do Yoon.)

(We have to cheer up)

Director YUGYEOM scouted me.

(Thank you so much.)

That was how I joined TEAM BEAT last.

He was your savior.

I almost shed tears with a sense of relief.

We can prove ourselves.

- There must be a reason we're here. - Right.

Let's prove ourselves and move up.

(The bench players are determined to prove their talent.)

(They check the rearranged version of "Hard Carry" by EL CAPITXN.)

- Oh, my gosh. - Turn it up to the highest.

- It sounds like a war song. - Right.

The choreography has completely changed.

Right. It's completely different.

(With EL CAPITXN's rearrangement and the new choreography,)

(the 2024 version of "Hard Carry" is a lot more powerful and intense.)

I think that my greatest weapon is my dancing.

I believe I am able to reveal that a lot with this song.

I thought that the image of the song really suited me,

and I wanted to carry our team.

(I wanted to carry our team.)

We can't lose with this.

- We can't lose with this song. - No.

- It's our fault if we lose. - Right.

Right. We can't lose with this.

Let's try the part we just saw.

I think we start with our backs showing.

There's a jump next.

Arms out. I think the body is tilted diagonally.

Diagonally.

Arms out like this.

If you listen to the song, you'll hear this part.

There's a certain beat.

Then...

It looks nicer when you use more of your hair.

(He uses his whole body to shoot he bullets of love.)

Stomp. Stretch out your chest.

The hand goes up to your head.

Bounce with your pelvis.

(Nam Do Yoon tries to follow along while gritting his teeth.)

- Okay? - Okay.

I did hear that Do Yoon...

hasn't learned how to dance at all.

I felt a lot more worried after working with him.

I thought that our team could be in danger...

at that moment.

Shall we give it a try?

- Yes. - Yes.

You need to look more relaxed here.

(The powerful choreography looks tough for Do Yoon.)

(He remembers the moves, but he still looks awkward.)

(Rolling his body)

You don't know this part of the choreography, right?

Not yet.

(Showing Do Yoon his part)

- Can you do this? - Yes.

Really? The song is very fast.

I'll give it a try.

(Nam Do Yoon's solo part)

(The fast foot movement is the highlight.)

Start.

(Can Do Yoon do it?)

(Stepping)

(How was it?)

(Not sure what to say)

It'll be better if I make...

- the choreography simpler, right? - Yes.

I've never lost in a game

I'm overflowing with passion

This would be better for you.

Or I'll try practicing after today's lesson.

- Do you want to try practicing it? - Yes.

- Okay. Give it a shot. - Okay.

- You're doing well. - Thank you.

You're doing well, but... Sit down, guys.

It hasn't been long since you started dancing, right?

No, I started with this program.

- You've been dancing for a month? - Yes.

It's not bad for only dancing for a month.

You have talent.

You've been dancing for a month.

(Nam Do Yoon, a dance newbie who started just a month ago)

I don't have much experience learning choreography,

and I'm slow.

The older guys learned the moves and started practicing earlier.

I was struggling alone. That was the hardest part.

(Do Yoon was struggling with controlling his body.)

I can't memorize the moves.

- The moves? - I can't memorize them.

- Look closely. - Okay.

Hit, hit. Then go like this.

Step, step. Yes, like that.

I wanted everyone to look good so that our team could win.

I wanted to help Do Yoon grow no matter what.

Then kick like this.

Open your legs, then raise your head.

(Kairi became Do Yoon's dance teacher.)

(Rolling his body)

(Thanks to Kairi, Do Yoon has started to improve.)

Look, Do Yoon. Make your hands cooler too.

Hit and hit. Make it cool.

Bring your hands back and go like this.

Yes, so...

(With their help, Do Yoon is slowly improving.)

Nice, Like that.

Let's practice while singing.

Sounds good.

Director YUGYEOM told us to practice while singing.

(The bench players practice live singing.)

- Hard carry - Hard carry

(The music suddenly stopped?)

(Instead of stopping, they sing even harder.)

- Hard carry - Hard carry

- Hard - Hard

- Hard carry - Hard carry

- Hard carry - Hard carry

That was nice.

Let's keep going.

Let's go!

(They keep practicing without rest.)

- Hard carry - Hard carry

- Hard carry - Hard carry

- Once more? - Okay.

- One more time. - Right away?

- Right away. - Let's go.

I'm ready.

How am I doing? Everybody knows it

We wanted the feeling...

of friends cheering each other on.

We're trying to push ourselves...

to get better every day.

I think all of our members...

are full of passion.

We felt the same.

(Falling over from the endless practice)

Save me.

(Out of energy)

There were some parts where our rhythm was off.

You're right.

One more time? Right away?

- No. - I really can't.

This is torture.

One more time?

I can do it.

This is torture. Do Yoon is dead.

(Save me.)

Let's do five very intense live singing practices.

- With the music on. - With the music on.

Should we see the bench team next?

- Okay. - Okay.

(Director YUGYEOM's interim check a few days later)

- Hard carry - Hard carry

(Perfect angles)

- Hard carry - Hard carry

(Koo Han Seo starts the song with his confident rapping.)

Wherever I go the mood gets higher

(And Kairi's facial expressions look laid-back.)

I've never lost in a game

I always see it through to the end

(Doing his best)

- Hard carry - Hard carry

(What did the directors think of the bench players?)

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

They were much more stable.

Because they were synchronized.

I could tell you practiced a lot.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I'm so proud of you for that.

I want to compliment Han Seo.

(Surprised)

Thank you.

I think you led the members well as the leader.

And Do Yoon...

did much better than I expected.

Because you listened to your leader,

you're getting good feedback.

Thank you.

I was so happy.

There wasn't a single person who didn't work hard.

If we clashed, it was only out of passion.

There wasn't a single member who didn't work hard.

We were able to improve much more quickly.

I'll lead the performance,

lead the younger members,

and do my rap part well...

to carry my team.

(Will the bench players change TEAM BEAT's fate?)

Do Yoon. How do you plan to carry your team?

I will carry my team with the spirit...

- of the youngest member. - Spirit!

(So cute.)

I believe in him.

- I believe in him. - I also believe...

- I also believe in him. - Believe in him.

(Why are the two directors of TEAM BEAT nervously laughing?)

(Before the bench players went up onstage,)

(they did a final check of their rehearsal video.)

- Do Yoon. - Yes?

- Cheer up, Do Yoon. - Okay.

- Be more energetic. - Okay.

- You did get better. - Okay. Thank you.

Do Yoon comes forward during his part, right?

Does he really need to sit once in the middle of that?

He doesn't have to.

(Do Yoon does the sitting move during his solo part.)

Do you want to try not sitting?

Okay. I'll try it.

- Will you be okay? - Yes.

I think it'll be better...

for you to just walk up and have the focus on you.

That's not too hard, right?

- You can do that, right? - Yes.

Just slowly walk up.

- Okay. - Okay?

Okay.

(Will Do Yoon successfully complete his last mission?)

TEAM BEAT, are you ready?

Let's go!

(Kairi)

(Yeon Jun)

Let's go.

(The directors are just as nervous as the players.)

I'm more nervous.

This song is actually pretty hard.

It is.

- Kairi! - You can do it!

Let's go, Yuito!

Aren't games the most exciting when a team comes up from behind?

We'll beat GROOVE and RHYTHM...

and get first place.

Ready? Go.

I think they'll be able to show everyone.

(Please.)

("Hard Carry" by Kairi, Kang Jun Hyuk, Kim Hyo Tae, Koo Han Seo)

(Nam Do Yoon, Park Yeon Jun, Yuito)

Oh, yes!

It's a strong arrangement.

Nice.

He's good.

Yuito is good.

Director YUGYEOM told me not to sit.

I need to do really well today.

(Sitting down)

- Oh, he sat down. - I told him not to sit.

Oh, Han Seo.

He is quite impactful.

Oh, nice!

Park Yeon Jun!

- It's okay. - It's okay.

Oh, nice.

Let's go.

What? They're so cool.

(Applauding)

It was clean.

Look. Only they seemed like they were on "SBS Inkigayo."

This performance really deserves to get first place.

This was really...

(TEAM BEAT directors put their hopes on the bench players.)

- Nice! - Han Seo is so good.

The member in the middle really suits this song well.

He was so good.

Han Seo and Kairi really stood out.

"Hard Carry" is an intense song,

but it's also one that allows you to show off your vocal abilities.

- I think the fans' preferences... - Right.

will determine the outcome.

I thought that these guys had such great teamwork.

I thought I should watch out for those guys.

(TEAM RHYTHM is nervous after TEAM BEAT's performance.)

It was "Hard Carry" by TEAM BEAT.

(TEAM BEAT's bench players gave...)

(a strong performance that surprised everyone.)

Okay. We will now begin...

the vote.

(The fans' votes can change TEAM BEAT's fate.)

Please press the button.

(Every fan vote is precious to TEAM BEAT.)

(Nam Do Yoon knows how to strike the fans' hearts.)

Puppy ears!

(He does everything that the fans ask him to do!)

(Showing off his abs)

(TEAM BEAT shows off their charms to get more votes.)

(Han Seo will take TEAM BEAT to 1st place today!)

We got it.

- That's cheating. - That's totally cheating.

Kenta.

You can do it.

- Let's go, Kenta. - Kenta.

Next time, I'll make you a part to show off your abs.

(A fierce battle of abs to win over the fans is coming soon)

(Relaxed)

(TEAM BEAT's bench players' heated self-promotion time)

We will close the vote.

(The vote ends.)

Let's check who the MVP is.

(Who will it be on this team?)

(Who do you think it will be?)

(TEAM BEAT's bench gave a good performance overall.)

- Han Seo? - He's always been good.

- Right. He was in Group "Siren." - Yes.

I think he'll get the MVP.

He suited the concept well.

(Koo Han Seo perfectly performed the strong concept.)

Who do you think the MVP is?

- Kairi? - Kairi.

(Will it be Kairi with his eye-catching performance?)

He really killed that part.

(Will it be Kairi with his eye-catching performance?)

- Who will it be? - Who will it be?

(The other TEAM BEAT members are curious as well.)

(Who is the MVP that stole the fans' hearts?")

I thought I could be it...

since I really dominated the stage.

I gave a satisfying performance,

so I had hope.

The MVP of this performance...

is Kairi.

(The MVP of TEAM BEAT's bench is Kairi.)

I told you that Kairi was good.

Right. When Kairi is in the center, the energy explodes.

- You're right. - When he did this, it was over.

I knew it.

His solo part...

- must've had a strong impact. - Right.

I was so happy to be the MVP. I hope we can continue this...

Our members did so well.

I hope we get first place.

Good job.

(A glorious return)

(Director YUGYEOM praises each of the players.)

We really did so well. I appreciated your abs.

I told you you were the best. I told you you were good, right?

Thank you.

You really did well.

- Good job. - Good job.

(TEAM BEAT's bench gave a good performance.)

(Will TEAM BEAT be able to make a comeback and win?")

- GROOVE! - GROOVE!

(It's time for the last performance of Round 1 by TEAM GROOVE's bench.)

- Let's seriously get first place. - We can do that.

We're in second place, but we can definitely catch up.

I think we'll get a good score.

I'm not really worried about the bench team.

- Let's go. Come here. - Let's go.

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

- Gather around. - You can do it.

- Do as you practiced. - Okay.

Always do as you practiced.

- Okay? You should try a bit harder. - Okay.

- You need to smile a lot. - Okay.

You need to smile for everything to go well.

Okay?

- We'll get first place for you. - Okay.

- One, two, three. Let's go! - Let's go!

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

- Let's go! - See you soon.

- Let's go! - You already killed it. I saw it.

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

This is the last performance of the day.

Please come on out, TEAM GROOVE's bench players.

Hello.

(Meeting the fans for the first time in cute outfits)

Very pink.

(Meeting the fans for the first time in cute outfits)

Oh, so pink.

Their outfits are so cute.

(TEAM GROOVE's bench will melt the winter cold away.)

- It's spring. - They're all so cute.

The mood completely changed.

Each team has such a different concept.

Kim Gi Joong.

Kim Dae Yun.

Bae Jae Ho. Hiroto.

He Junjin. Li Zhiwei.

Yeo Gangdong.

(Yeo Gangdong)

So cute.

The mood is completely different.

Hello. We are...

- G. - R.

- O. - O.

- V. - E.

- GROOVE. - GROOVE.

(Go, TEAM GROOVE's bench!)

So cute.

(They're so cute.)

Nice.

What kind of performance did you prepare today?

We prepared a song called "Second Confession..."

by BTOB.

(A song that portrays the excitement before confessing your feelings)

(Both vocal ability and expression are important.)

Do you think you'll be able to gift your director a win?

I saw that the other teams had a dark mood.

- Okay. - I see.

(A public attack)

We'll melt your hearts...

with our cute confession song.

(We're already melting...)

How was Director Chang Sub's special training?

Gosh. Director Lee Chang Sub...

(What happened to TEAM GROOVE's bench?)

- I'll play it now. - Okay.

Okay.

I'm excited.

(TEAM GROOVE's bench checks out the rearranged "Second Confession.")

(A cute and rhythmic song with a bouncy mood)

It's so cute.

- Oh, my. - It's seriously so good.

Oh, my.

(And one member seems to especially like it.)

(A big reaction)

I love it.

(He can't stop smiling.)

I'm so glad to be on TEAM GROOVE.

(In the locker room during the draft)

(He wanted to be on TEAM GROOVE.)

It's because Lee Chang Sub's the director.

I'm a huge fan of his.

(During the Bench Test)

(Director Lee Chang Sub, I want to join TEAM GROOVE.)

(He took the initiative and asked to be on TEAM GROOVE.)

(Gi Joong's dream came true,)

(and he joined TEAM GROOVE as a bench member.)

I want to get an earful from Chang Sub...

about my vocals.

(He's excited to get an earful.)

(Here's another member who's also focused on the music.)

This is adorable.

It's an honor to be performing a song that Lee Chang Sub sang.

(Their first encounter with Director Lee during the draft)

(I love you!)

Lee Chang Sub is a master vocalist, so...

(Another player who desperately wanted...)

(to be on TEAM GROOVE)

(Chang Sub also chose Bae Jae Ho.)

Thank you.

My first and only choice was TEAM GROOVE.

I'm so glad to be on TEAM GROOVE.

Is there a part that you want for yourselves?

Absolutely.

(Burning with passion)

I wanted to sing the bridge section.

Of course, I want to sing the bridge section.

(This transitional bridge section that is sung by Lee Chang Sub...)

(shows off one's vocals.)

It's the part Chang Sub sings,

which was the main reason I wanted to sing it.

The bridge part that Director Lee sings.

Channel the emotions...

- while delivering the lines. - Sure.

I was confident about getting the part right.

(Sir!)

Sir,

I want to try this part.

Okay.

I think I should try...

because I think I can do it.

(Kim Gi Joong first sings the bridge.)

Why is it

(Passion in his eyes)

- Good. Thanks. - Thanks.

(Next up is Bae Jae Ho.)

(Li Zhiwei, the last one to aim for the part,)

(makes his attempt at the bridge!)

(Impressed)

(Li Zhiwei's soft and mellifluous voice)

(Who will sing the bridge that is sung by Chang Sub?)

The bridge will go to Li Zhiwei.

It was a bummer since I wanted the part.

(Disappointed)

(On the day of the interim check, they finally meet Director Lee.)

(They'll soon be performing for Chang Sub.)

(Chang Sub's biggest fans are training hard.)

Zen Zen.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi. - No way.

It's good to see you.

It's so humid.

Have you been well?

- Yes. - Yes.

This was my first time seeing him in the practice room.

He was so cool.

(Our director is so cool!)

I was all tingly inside.

I was nervous since he was finally...

evaluating us,

but I was also excited to be learning from him.

- Do as you practiced. - Sure.

Do as you learned and practiced.

Don't try to go the extra mile.

- Sure. - Got it.

Okay, let's go.

I kind of messed up...

during my first performance, which was "Boomerang."

(During the draft, Kim Gi Joong displayed a shaky pitch,)

(and his voice cracked.)

I thought this could be my chance.

I was more nervous than I was when I performed onstage.

(The intro begins with sweet and cute expressions.)

(Focused)

I swallow my pride and confess my love a second time

I'll skip the many things I wish to say

I'm frustrated on this restless night

(He nailed his high note.)

(Proud)

Shoot the arrow and save me

(The solo highlight that has only him jump into the center.)

Can we go back to that time? Are you willing to be with me again?

(Li Zhiwei sings the bridge that was originally sung by Chang Sub.)

Why is it

(The beat gets faster and faster.)

(Their choreography becomes a mess.)

(What will Chang Sub say about TEAM GROOVE's bench?)

The dancing...

was all over the place.

Is the teamwork not fully there yet?

Didn't you practice enough?

We practiced enough.

If you have practiced enough, the situation is worse.

The situation is worse.

It's better not to have practiced enough.

(It's better not to have practiced enough.)

I only wanted to show him how talented I was,

so it was disappointing.

- Let's try to sing in tune. - Okay.

Being in tune and singing on the beat is crucial.

(Chang Sub demonstrates the high notes Li Zhiwei must sing.)

That you don't know how I feel?

Be nimbler.

(He coaches Li Zhiwei by demonstrating again.)

(Nice.)

(Is this a concert? They focus on Chang Sub's voice.)

That you don't know how I feel?

(We expected no less.)

I was listening to him in awe.

Just being able to hear him sing that one line...

had me up in the clouds.

(Li Zhiwei sings it again in the way he heard it.)

That's it. Good.

(Director Lee's lesson paid off.)

He was a great mentor.

I want to get an earful from Chang Sub...

about my vocals.

(He continues to coach them.)

You must sing until that beat. Give it a try.

Someday, when you finally come back to me

I thought I'd get an earful for not singing well enough.

Come back to me

- It's okay. Squeeze your core. - Okay.

Below your belly button. That's the part you should squeeze.

(I want to get an earful.)

(Trying hard)

- Right. Extend the note like that. - Okay.

Extend the note, and...

(Is it finally time for him to scold Gi Joong?)

And in the second verse, you...

I want to get an earful from Chang Sub about my vocals.

(His heart is pounding.)

(Your section)

- You did great. - Okay.

Know that you can sing this part a little louder.

- Got it. - Don't turn down the volume.

I wanted to get an earful from him,

so it was a bummer to only get compliments.

- Gangdong. - Yes?

The "Hey, it's a green light."

Shoot the arrow and save me

(His solo highlight that features a cute pose)

- Why do you look depressed? - Sorry?

You must be beaming during that section.

Just now, it looked like a red light.

You were almost embodying a red light.

- Okay? - Okay.

Be more dynamic with your moves.

- Be dynamic. - Okay.

- With a smile. - Got it.

Always smile.

(Will the highlight be a green light this time?)

(Awkward)

Why?

Did that seem like a green light to you?

- No. - No?

No.

Could there be another pose you can do?

(Is the pose the issue?)

How about this?

"Hey, it's a green light."

(The director suggests a dynamic green light.)

Hey, it's a green light.

(Trembling)

Why is even your running this awkward?

What do we do with you?

"Hey, it's a green light."

(The director suggests a cuter pose this time.)

Hey, it's a green light.

- No, that's just wrong. - What?

Think of another move you can do.

Think of one. That's your homework.

- Okay. - I'm giving you an assignment.

That was me being cheerful,

so it got embarrassing.

I'm going to try different poses...

and see what the others think.

- Gangdong, let's go. - Show us.

(The day after the interim check)

- I'll give it a try. - Okay.

(He shows them the pose he worked on.)

Hey, it's a green light.

Shoot the arrow and save me

(He falls onto the ground.)

- What? - Hold on.

Are you a damsel in distress?

(He tries again with a different pose.)

Hey, it's a green light.

(His poses are hard to understand.)

(The director's assignment is too much for Gangdong.)

Okay. I think that's the most eye-catching part of the song.

The other teams are performing powerful and spicy songs.

They're like...

(TEAM RHYTHM's addictive and intoxicating performance)

(TEAM BEAT adds a heap of spice.)

Meanwhile, our performance is like a dessert.

- It's like a tiramisu. - A tiramisu.

- Hey, it's a green light. - Out of all six songs,

"Second Confession" is the sweetest and most upbeat.

We practiced our expressions to the point...

where we can win over the fans.

We worked really hard on it.

Gangdong, smile.

(They dance with bright expressions that fit the mood of the song.)

Smile!

(They dance with bright expressions that fit the mood of the song.)

I felt like we had a chance...

to beat the other five teams by putting in the work.

I have the confidence.

Let's see the performance by TEAM GROOVE's bench.

TEAM GROOVE, are you ready?

- Yes! - Let's go!

Let's go.

I can't wait.

- Please do well. - Please.

- You can do this. - Go, team!

(The teams' standings depend on how well the bench does.)

Gangdong has to do a good job.

(Worried)

I'll turn on the green lights that'll guarantee...

TEAM GROOVE's victory.

So that Director Lee Chang Sub doesn't regret picking me,

I'll do my best.

Ready? Go.

That's pretty.

("Second Confession" by Bae Jae Ho, He Junjin, Hiroto, Kim Dae Yun,)

(Kim Gi Joong, Li Zhiwei, Yeo Gangdong)

Gosh, that was nice.

(Kim Joo Hyoung)

They're great.

Oh, dear.

You still did great.

He's good.

(Yeo Gangdong)

Gangdong, nice.

He's a good vocalist.

- Nicely done! - They did it.

- That's enough. - They actually did it.

Seriously, that was enough.

They did a good job.

It was a performance that the fans would've loved.

It was cute.

It must be because the director's a BTOB member,

but they focused a lot on the vocals.

TEAM GROOVE got a lot of love from those in the audience,

so I couldn't tell who was going to win.

Fans have different tastes, which had me worried.

The bench's performance...

made me think we could come out on top.

- Same here. - It wasn't about them doing well.

The smile wouldn't leave my face.

I was smiling at them like a proud mom.

I bet anyone who watched that shared our sentiment.

They did great.

The audience will vote right away.

Please press the circle if you enjoyed his performance.

If you didn't, press X.

Ladies, please vote for me this once.

Gangdong, you're so handsome!

Vote for the others as well.

(Vote for the others as well.)

- That's what I'm talking about. - He has a funny bone.

That's what I wanted.

I'm desperate and would appreciate your vote.

(He shows his desperation by bowing on this knees.)

Goodness, Gi Joong.

It's finally time to see who the MVP is.

I think... Gangdong.

- Me too. - Gangdong.

(Is it Yeo Gangdong who performed while staying true to the concept?)

Gi Joong and Jae Ho might also have a chance.

(Kim Gi Joong or Bae Jae Ho?)

Why do I feel like it's going to be Dae Yun?

Who was the MVP of that performance?

(Which player won over the audience?)

It was Kim Gi Joong.

(Kim Gi Joong is the MVP of TEAM GROOVE's bench.)

What? Really?

(Surprised)

- You're so handsome. - You're good-looking!

(You're good-looking!)

It's Gi Joong.

I wanted to be the MVP,

but I didn't think it was possible...

since the concept suited the others better.

Still, I tried hard to make this look work.

I'm happy since being the MVP means that my hard work paid off.

You never know what will happen in life.

This is proof of that.

Wait, I'm getting emotional.

You have a delicate soul.

We used to train together seven years ago.

- That's why you feel a bond. - Right.

(Gi Joong, you did great!)

(After all the performances,)

(they gathered to hear the results.)

(TEAM RHYTHM)

(TEAM GROOVE)

(TEAM BEAT)

We'll now check the standings of Round One.

(The standings will be revealed.)

(Nerve-racking)

The audience's vote will determine the teams' rankings.

(Scores of the starting lineup and bench will be added.)

Depending on where your team stands,

the players will receive yellow cards.

(Teams that rank low will receive yellow cards.)

Three for the team in second place...

and a whopping 6 for the team in 3rd place.

(3rd place: 6 yellow cards)

Your second yellow card will result in elimination.

(2 yellow cards will send you home.)

This is the result of the starting lineup match.

(They showed off their explosive energy.)

("Give Me That" by TEAM RHYTHM's starting lineup)

(They delivered a message...)

(of taking on challenges and overcoming hardship.)

("Boys Never Die" by TEAM BEAT's starting lineup)

(Their powerful vocals left a strong impression.)

("Missing You" by TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup)

(First half starting lineup match)

(TEAM RHYTHM: 1st place, 1,234 points)

(TEAM GROOVE: 2nd place, 1,172 points)

(TEAM BEAT: 3rd place, 966 points)

Director of TEAM RHYTHM, your team is currently in the lead.

How does it feel?

I'm just proud of them. You did great, boys.

We did great.

You also did great. I mean that.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

(Disappointed)

(TEAM BEAT ranked 3rd in the starting lineup match.)

The gap is nearly 300 points.

(The huge difference in score has TEAM BEAT looking defeated.)

(During the starting lineup match,)

(Park Ji Hun's pitch was off, and he missed a few beats.)

There's too much power, so the choreography isn’t in sync.

Completely.

I was upset since it felt like I had ruined the performance.

- But we carried the team. - We totally carried the team.

We carried the team for sure.

(It's too soon to give up!)

(With their outstanding teamwork,)

(the bench members of TEAM BEAT delivered a twist.)

Out of the performances by the bench members,

I believe our team's was the best.

I know we carried our team to rank in first place.

We could come back from behind. There was hope.

Now, we will see the final result of Round One with the addition...

of the bench members' scores.

- Come on! - Please.

- Please. - I'm begging you.

- My heart is pounding. - Oh, no!

(First half starting lineup match)

(TEAM RHYTHM: 1st place, 1,234 points)

(TEAM GROOVE: 2nd place, 1,172 points)

(TEAM BEAT: 3rd place, 966 points)

- Oh, dear. - Let's do this.

My heart is beating really fast.

First, here is TEAM BEAT's final score.

(TEAM BEAT's final score will be revealed.)

I can't watch.

Please.

Please say we crushed the others.

- Please. - This is insane.

TEAM BEAT did a great job with its performance of "Hard Carry."

That had me super nervous.

They had great teamwork,

so losing to them seemed quite possible.

Here is TEAM BEAT's final score.

- Please. - Gosh, please.

(TEAM BEAT's final score will be revealed.)

- My goodness. - Okay.

(TEAM BEAT, Starting: 966, Bench: 979, Total: 1,945)

(TEAM BEAT, Starting: 966, Bench: 979, Total: 1,945)

Oh, my goodness.

(TEAM BEAT, Starting: 966, Bench: 979, Total: 1,945)

The final score...

is 1,945 points.

(They're devastated.)

Was it a performance that deserved to be ranked this low?

I was upset.

This is risky.

Next, TEAM GROOVE's final score will be revealed.

- Oh, please. - Please!

- Please. - Please.

I feel sick.

We can't afford a yellow card. Seriously.

I think our bench did a good job.

I'm confident.

Honestly, I didn't think TEAM GROOVE would win.

TEAM GROOVE will rank third.

(What's TEAM GROOVE's final score?)

(TEAM GROOVE, Starting: 1,172, Bench: 1,181)

(Total: 2,353)

(TEAM GROOVE, Starting: 1,172, Bench: 1,181, Total: 2,353)

What's going on?

(TEAM GROOVE, Starting: 1,172, Bench: 1,181, Total: 2,353)

- This is good. - We can be first.

This is good. Well done, everyone!

- Good job! - The total score is 2,353 points.

(Bitter)

- Well done. - Thank you.

The bench's score is higher than the starting lineup's.

(TEAM GROOVE, Starting: 1,172, Bench: 1,181, Total: 2,353)

(TEAM GROOVE's bench did a great job.)

A comeback seems possible.

- Wait. - Oh, no.

- This was unexpected. - We never know.

This is unpredictable.

(TEAM RHYTHM's fate depends on the bench.)

- It will be difficult. - Please!

Please!

We had only a 60-vote difference with the 1st place.

Maybe we can win.

TEAM GROOVE might win.

Will TEAM GROOVE make a comeback and win?

Or will TEAM RHYTHM...

- keep their first place. Let's see. - Please.

Here is TEAM RHYTHM's final score.

(TEAM RHYTHM's final score will be revealed.)

- How will it turn out? - Please!

I'm so nervous.

I hope we can win the first place. I really want to win.

We should win.

Wait. My heart is about to explode.

Please.

I can't watch this.

- Why are they nervous? - I'm nervous too.

(What's TEAM RHYTHM's score?)

(Who will be the final winner of Round 1?)

Oh, my. Wait.

(TEAM RHYTHM, Starting: 1,234,)

(Bench: 1,023,)

(Total: 2,257)

(We won!)

We won!

(We're 1st.)

TEAM GROOVE made a comeback...

and ranked first!

Congratulations.

(The starting lineup and bench ranked 1st together.)

We made it!

(He's excited.)

We ranked first.

We made it. This is it.

Everyone showed their best efforts.

I was proud...

as I thought I saved our team.

I was happy to share this happiness together...

with the starting lineup and the bench.

- It's okay. You did well. - It's okay.

(TEAM RHYTHM, Starting: 1,234, Bench: 1,023, Total: 2,257)

- It's okay. - It's okay.

You did well.

(Disappointed)

- I'm sorry, starting lineup. - No!

- No, you did well. - I'm sorry.

- We did well, everyone. - Great work.

(TEAM BEAT ranked 3rd.)

(There is a 408-vote difference with 1st place.)

I was devastated.

I can't put it into words.

I felt very sorry...

to our team members.

Now, according to the results of Round One,

it's time to distribute the yellow cards.

TEAM RHYTHM...

gets three yellow cards.

(TEAM RHYTHM, the 2nd place, receives 3 yellow cards.)

TEAM BEAT, the third place,

receives six yellow cards.

(TEAM BEAT, the 3nd place, receives 6 yellow cards.)

Yellow cards are given to...

the lower-ranking members on the team bench...

based on fan votes.

Let's take a look at the individual rankings...

to see who will receive yellow cards.

(This announcement of the individual rankings will determine their fate.)

First, I'll announce the ranking of the team in first place,

TEAM GROOVE, that has no yellow cards.

- My goodness. - Oh, my.

TEAM GROOVE, please come out to the stage.

- I envy them. - My gosh.

(The two teams envy TEAM GROOVE as they have no yellow cards.)

(TEAM GROOVE's individual rankings will be revealed.)

The rankings being announced now are from 1st to 7th place...

for the starting lineup and from 8th to 14th place for the bench.

There are two MVPs in TEAM GROOVE.

MVP of the starting lineup, Seo Jeong Woo.

I was a bit hopeful.

MVP of the bench, Kim Gi Joong.

My goal is, of course, ranking first.

- My gosh. - I will announce who...

the final MVP will be between the two.

(Who will be the final MVP of TEAM GROOVE?)

The first place of TEAM GROOVE is...

You never know. The bench could win with the popularity vote.

I think Jeong Woo will win.

Seo Jeong Woo is the winner. Congratulations.

(TEAM GROOVE, Starting lineup: Seo Jeong Woo, 245 votes, 1st place)

Thank you.

Did he win 245 votes?

- Isn't it out of 300? - My goodness.

I'll announce the next in line.

Second place!

(Who will win the 2nd place of the individual ranking?)

It's Kim Gi Joong. Congratulations.

- Thank you. - Oh, my.

(TEAM GROOVE, Starting lineup: Kim Gi Joong, 213 votes, 2nd place)

Let's see who the last player to avoid the yellow card will be.

- There's only one seat left. - My goodness.

(Among the 4 players,)

(only one can avoid the yellow card.)

I think that since we have three yellow cards,

I thought it was going to go...

to people who might not have done well on the stage.

Eito and Royce.

Eito's voice cracked.

Even during practice,

his voice often cracks.

I was out of tune.

So I'm a little anxious.

Don't be me.

There's a tie.

Tied for tenth place.

(Who will avoid the yellow card?)

(Sighing)

It's the directors' turn now.

Let's start the trade.

(The trade will take place following the directors' choices.)

There is an important reason that today's rankings matter.

There's a special benefit to the 1st and 2nd-ranking teams.

(A special benefit to the 1st and 2nd-ranking teams)

It's the trade ticket.

(Trade ticket)

(The directors learned that they could trade.)

They're trading us?

The 1st team will win 2 tickets, and the 2nd team will win 1.

(The 1st team will win 2 tickets and the 2nd team will win 1.)

We might be kicked out as well.

It's a chance to make your team stronger.

You can recruit players from the lower-ranking teams...

and release players you don't want from the team.

It's like a real trade. Just like nominating.

(Sighing)

- We'll lose our player. - Exactly.

Director Lee Chang Sub of TEAM GROOVE,

the first-ranking team, please come out.

(TEAM GROOVE has 2 trade tickets.)

(He can use it on both TEAM RHYTHM and TEAM BEAT.)

- Why did he look at me? - I'm scared.

- Why did he look at me? - Don't look at me.

I don't want to leave TEAM GROOVE.

(Trade)

Director Lee Chang Sub of TEAM GROOVE,

please announce the player you want to release.

The player I want to release is...

(Someone needs to be released from TEAM GROOVE.)

I kept thinking about my mistakes and my flaws.

I thought it might be me.

I thought it could be one of the bench players.

I thought the lower-ranking players would be chosen.

(Who will Director Lee Chang Sub release first?)

It's Li Zhiwei.

(TEAM GROOVE is removing Li Zhiwei who ranked 14th.)

(Li Zhiwei is leaving the team with the director's choice.)

Yes, it's Li Zhiwei.

Now,

who will you recruit to replace Li Zhiwei?

Please announce it.

Steven. I think they will get Steven.

I expected...

Woong Ki to be picked first since he was the MVP of our team.

The player I'd like to recruit is...

from TEAM BEAT...

(Director Lee Chang Sub chooses a player from TEAM BEAT.)

No. I think it's me. Or maybe you?

(Who is Director Lee going to scout?)

Player Koo Han Seo.

(TEAM GROOVE first scouts Koo Han Seo.)

(Trading Li Zhiwei with Koo Han Seo)

Player Koo Han Seo.

(Trading with Koo Han Seo who placed 7th in TEAM BEAT)

Koo Han Seo, please stand up.

(By presenting a powerful performance and rap,)

(Koo Han Seo moved up to the starting lineup from the bench.)

I scouted him because I needed someone...

with a strong look to be in charge of rap.

(How will Koo Han Seo do on TEAM GROOVE?)

It was such a shame.

How will the team go without Han Seo?

(Sighing)

(TEAM BEAT lost their starting player.)

The two players, please move to your new teams.

(They're going to compete in different teams now.)

- Well done. - Li Zhiwei.

- Don't go. - See you.

- Don't go. - Han Seo.

(Clingy)

Don't leave me. You know I can't live without you.

(Grinning)

To be honest, among the many players in TEAM RHYTHM...

and starting players in TEAM BEAT,

I'm happy that he selected me.

I became the starting player on my own...

in TEAM BEAT.

I feel confident to pull it off in TEAM GROOVE.

Now, you only have one trade ticket left.

Please announce the second player to release.

(One of them is going to leave the team.)

The player to release is...

(Who will be the second player to be released in TEAM GROOVE?)

Hiroto.

(Releasing Hiroto in 4th place)

(Releasing Hiroto in 4th place)

(The starting player, Hiroto, is released.)

What? A starting player?

Who do you want to scout?

The player I'd like to scout is...

(Who will TEAM GROOVE scout next?)

He wouldn't trade only with us, right?

- I doubt it. - Right?

My heart's beating fast.

(Who does Director Lee Chang Sub choose?)

From TEAM RHYTHM...

From TEAM RHYTHM...

(Nervous)

(Park Ju Won who placed 1st in TEAM RHYTHM?)

No. It's not me.

No.

(I think it's him.)

- JL? - No?

No. It's not me.

No.

No.

(Who will he trade with Hiroto?)

Player Kwon Hee Jun.

(TEAM GROOVE's last scout is Kwon Hee Jun.)

(The players are surprised to hear Kwon Hee Jun's name.)

Hee Jun.

- Hee Jun. - No.

(Trading Hiroto with Kwon Hee Jun)

You've traded Hiroto with Kwon Hee Jun.

(I see.)

I can see what he likes.

He likes...

a strong look.

He has the face...

that can pull off any style.

He also dominates the stage.

(TEAM GROOVE's trade is completed after scouting Kwon Hee Jun.)

Next, it's time for TEAM RHYTHM's trade.

Let's bring in a director from TEAM RHYTHM.

(TEAM RHYTHM can only trade with TEAM BEAT.)

TEAM RHYTHM has only one trade ticket.

(Who will be released from TEAM RHYTHM?)

Please announce the player to release.

The player to release is...

I was nervous at the time.

I didn't want my name to be called.

(Who does TEAM RHYTHM's director choose?)

Royce.

(Releasing Royce in 14th place)

Royce, please stand up.

(Royce in last place is called to be released.)

Then who are you going to scout?

(Who will he trade Royce with?)

You can only choose from TEAM BEAT.

(Feeling dizzy)

From TEAM BEAT...

I was afraid of losing Woong Ki.

And I was afraid of losing Chih En next.

Then, this team will be doomed.

That will be the end of our team.

We'd like to scout...

(TEAM RHYTHM chooses...)

(Chih En.)

Chih En.

- Chih En? - Really?

Chih En.

So he's traded Royce...

with Chih En.

(Blaming)

YUGYEOM's blaming you with his eyes.

(You can't do that.)

(Chih En became TEAM RHYTHM's player.)

He's making me feel competitive.

We lost all the key players.

This is merciless.

So this is how you play the game.

This is what you call a league.

It's making me feel competitive.

Now, I will reveal Round Two.

(Revealing Universe League Round 2)

League match Round Two.

I, Intercept.

(Intercept)

Intercept.

Intercept?

You're going to intercept the new song.

(Intercept the new song.)

Oh, gosh.

Your directors prepared new songs for starting players.

Really?

The bench will choose other starting players to compete...

and intercept their new song.

- That's bad. - Let's intercept.

- Let's intercept. - We can do it.

And only the winning team will get to...

release the song.

Does that mean there's a chance we won't?

Two teams will compete for the same song,

and only the winning team gets to release the song.

Intercept it or secure it?

Who will get to keep the new song?

(How dare you eye our new song?)

(Hurting their pride)

(We'll never lose it.)

(The starting lineup's determined declaration to secure the new song)

(Strong tension between the starting lineup and bench)

(Bugged)

(There's a reason none of us has a yellow card.)

(The bench challenges the starting lineup.)

(Look at you. Are you confident?)

(Are you out of your mind?)

(It's the starting lineup versus the bench.)

(They're just cute.)

(We have what it takes to win.)

(I plan to smash the starting lineup.)

(Match Theme: Intercept)

Are you ready?

I plan to intercept it.

Just let us intercept it.

We're never going to let them intercept it.
