Boys' dream match, Universe League.

(Universe League)

Are you ready?

(TEAM GROOVE's bench is ready to intercept "MAMMA MIA.")

There are too many with their abs showing.

Everyone is wearing cropped tops.

(Contending against the boyish charm...)

(is the adult charm.)

(Kyung Ho)

How sexy!

(How sexy!)

(Look at the wild reaction.)

They're not singing a different song, are they?

Their concepts are polar opposites.

My goodness.

(TEAM GROOVE has adult vibes, unlike boyish TEAM BEAT.)

TEAM BEAT was soft, but TEAM GROOVE is wild.

"MAMMA MIA!"

They have a fierce concept.

Joo Hyoung. How was TEAM BEAT's performance?

Their performance was great.

But because they were after youthfulness,

they still need to grow up more.

(Grow up more?)

Me? Is he telling me to grow up more?

(Universe League's oldest player)

We will show you the complete "MAMMA MIA" with our sexiness.

A sexy "MAMMA MIA?"

Did they understand the song correctly?

A sexy "MAMMA MIA?"

- It's kind of... - I don't see it mixing well.

It's hard to imagine.

- Kyung Ho. - Yes?

With what determination will you perform in this match?

Well, we're very desperate.

We're desperate.

Kyung Ho is tense.

- To think he's nervous. - Right?

There's an old friend of mine. I do care about him.

(There's an old friend of mine. I do care about him.)

But a match is still a match.

Our team losing today is not a part of my plan.

Old friendships don't matter in matches.

He was no threat to me.

Look at Jang Kyung Ho's eyes. How scary.

What a weird atmosphere.

The way his eyes are looking is weird.

His eyes are filled with determination.

You can tell he wants to intercept it badly.

Kyung Ho. I heard you designated TEAM BEAT.

What was your reason?

I am ready to open Pandora's box.

When we were teammates,

we were on good terms. Nothing bad happened.

That is if I'm not mistaken.

Woong Ki left the team first.

It was...

totally an internal matter within the company.

The reason wasn't disclosed.

It was a notice.

(Woong Ki suddenly left the team after 2 years.)

I only found out Woong Ki was taking part...

in Universe League when I came here.

When I came to the practice room.

After I found out,

we bumped into each other in the restroom.

I was like, "What?"

But he just walked by.

We bumped into each other again...

when practicing the title song.

I thought we'd practice together.

I asked if he was using the same practice room,

which was my first ever complete sentence to him.

Woong Ki said, "No, I'm not."

And he left just like that.

I felt he was...

avoiding me back then.

From what I see, it's rather...

I think Woong Ki has also felt that...

we're on different paths now.

Either way,

I thought I should accept the reality.

We have to compete against each other right now.

- What? - What?

(Kyung Ho didn't avoid going up against Woong Ki.)

I'm sorry.

I think we had a good friendship.

I'm not sure either.

Whether...

there's a reason I haven't realized yet...

or if Woong Ki is absorbed in Universe League...

and is trying to win just one more match.

I wanted to fight against him.

(Kyung Ho wants to know the reason through a match.)

Okay, guys. It's here.

- Yes. - Yes.

- Finally. - We have the song and the lyrics.

- Earlier... - It's here.

Here it is. Let's listen to it.

(Impressed)

(Admiring nonstop)

Many songs Director EL CAPITXN released...

were amazing.

So I knew it was going to be great.

Here it goes.

(This is what I'm talking about.)

(Zen Zen is excited.)

This is like a pop song.

I love how the beat...

- Like how it doesn't stop? - Yes, I love the beat.

I liked the song more than I expected.

I could totally be in my element.

I love it. The moment I heard it,

it stuck in my mind.

Even among the three songs,

this one is the best.

(The song is a killer.)

For real?

What do you think?

Our decision...

wasn't wrong.

It suits us well.

- Does it? - Yes.

I'm serious. It's really good.

What about you, Dae Yun?

You look like you have a lot on your mind.

- Right. - You're worried, aren't you?

You see, this song...

Despite singing the same song,

TEAM BEAT's starting lineup and we will have different vibes.

The colors they have and we have...

are too different.

Don't mind that. It's not like we're weak.

We're TEAM GROOVE. Let's interpret it our way.

Won't we be able to show the audience...

a completely different image from Round One?

We made the best decision of choosing this song.

I can already picture us...

killing the performance.

I don't think about losing when going to war.

Why fight if you expect to lose?

I don't think anyone on TEAM BEAT...

is a better dancer than I am.

With dancing alone, I'm confident...

that I'll beat all the starting players. There are no worries there.

We even have the main rapper.

Rap is fine too.

The song was made for TEAM BEAT.

I was in TEAM BEAT.

I'll think of it as a song made for me...

and intercept it.

Let's prepare well and beat them.

- Okay. - Okay.

(TEAM GROOVE's bench is determined.)

(As expected from TEAM GROOVE, they are practicing live singing.)

- We are - We are

- We are - We are

Let us be engraved on this path, show them who we are

(Breathing heavily)

(They're worn out after practicing the whole song once.)

Sit down.

It's seriously tough.

Give me a second.

It's super-fast.

(How is TEAM BEAT pulling it off?)

I'm beat.

But you were in TEAM BEAT.

Do you know how they're doing?

I know they're not as good as us.

Is that so?

It's refreshing...

and has a bit of a young vibe.

(A young vibe?)

I'm sorry, guys.

Same here.

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

Our average ages are similar.

Should I say, the person's image?

When I heard Woong Ki analyzed the song's concept as boyish,

I predicted he would express...

his strongest points.

It could become a tough match.

What Woong Ki is good at, he excels at it.

Even if it's the same song,

the performances are different.

We should go for sexiness...

with more passion and power.

Let's beat them with such "MAMMA MIA."

Okay.

Loosen up here.

The next move is fast.

Give it a bit of punch...

before moving on.

Make the next move sexy.

I think such transitions would be nice.

(Adding sexiness to change up the mood)

Don't overreact.

Slide sexily into the next move.

- Can you do it? - Nice, Junjin.

Okay. Good.

(Upgrading "MAMMA MIA" to have a mature vibe)

This is our weapon.

We prepared the performance so that...

the sexy parts were smoking...

and the energetic parts were super energetic.

It should move here.

In this position, switch your legs...

- while going down. - That was why it was weird.

- Yes. The legs have to switch. - Like this...

The song is actually for TEAM BEAT.

- The song for Round Two. - Right away.

We practiced with the thought of...

needing TEAM GROOVE's distinct color.

And figuring out how to pull that off...

was our homework every day while preparing for this round.

(Showing off manliness)

Isn't that a tough workout?

It's like watching my younger cousins on a national holiday.

How can you do that?

(Surprised)

(Surprising athleticism)

You'll get hurt. Be careful.

We're preparing with all our might.

With this, we'll destroy TEAM BEAT's starting lineup.

(The final check with Director Lee Chang Sub)

Our time is coming

(Focused)

Even if the end is unknown

- Tell them we are - We are

- We are - We are

- Together. Just a bit more. - We are

Let us be engraved on this path, show them who we are

(A satisfied smile)

- Gosh. - I'm tired.

Great job.

A clean live singing will be critical...

in both verses 1 and 2.

- Okay. - Okay.

I believe this is a song we can intercept.

- Understood. - Good.

- Intercept it. - Okay.

You must, okay?

We will, no matter what.

There's my relationship with Woong Ki,

but I can't win this match...

with my efforts alone.

Together with my members, I'll intercept the song at any cost.

(Monitoring their practice video)

We're in perfect sync.

Yes, this much balance is a must.

Who are you guys?

(The bench players are ready with TEAM GROOVE's unique color.)

(Nervous)

What will the sexy version of "MAMMA MIA" look like?

Let's watch TEAM GROOVE's bench's performance.

Are you ready?

(Everyone is ready.)

Let's watch them.

- Let's see. - Let's see how good they are.

Just enjoy it. We did an amazing job.

- Good luck, Jang Kyung Ho! - Good luck, Jang Kyung Ho!

(Tense)

They can intercept it.

They can do it. Our team can do it.

I'm excited.

Our mission is to intercept.

If not our team, who can intercept the song?

We will surely intercept TEAM BEAT's song.

("MAMMA MIA (WHO WE ARE)" by He Junjin, James, Jang Kyung Ho,)

(Kim Dae Yun, Kim Joo Hyoung, Koo Han Seo, Zen Zen)

They're looking cool.

Yes.

Zen Zen!

Yes!

Is this the same song?

(Koo Han Seo)

Go, James!

(Sexy!)

(Koo Han Seo)

Let's go! Let's go, Kyung Ho!

(As expected from our team.)

That was legendary.

(Nice.)

Good job.

Gosh.

- I love you! - I love you!

It ended with no aftertaste.

- We won. - We'll win.

We won.

I couldn't feel my lungs.

I gave it my all. It was do or die.

Now, then.

TEAM BEAT's starting lineup, please come up onstage as well.

(It's time to decide the owner of "MAMMA MIA.")

(Who will become the owner of "MAMMA MIA?")

Why does it feel like I'm watching a soccer match?

(Will the new song be taken away...)

(or will it be kept?)

- All right, Woong Ki. - Yes?

What did you think of their performance?

What did you think of their performance?

They did...

seem to work hard and do well,

but I think our team's teamwork stood out more.

Gosh.

(Nice one, Woong Ki!)

What did you think?

We did work hard,

but I do think we did a great job as well.

Well...

Woong Ki has improved quite a bit too.

(Woong Ki has improved quite a bit too.)

Our performance was better than theirs.

There's no way people thought we did a bad job.

We are going to get picked anyway.

I thought he was trying too hard.

Their performances...

- were very different. - Right.

The Intercept Round.

The winner and owner of the new songs...

will be decided...

by the on-site voting of the fans that are here.

Please vote for the team that you think did better.

(Which team's voice will the new song be released in?)

We can't lose this.

The voting will begin now.

(There are only 20 seconds to vote.)

(Who will the fans vote...)

(as the owner of the new song?)

If you liked TEAM BEAT's starting lineup's performance,

press Number One.

(A cute appeal to keep their new song)

Please pick us!

(He's so cute.)

(Shooting hearts)

Please pick TEAM BEAT!

(Please pick TEAM BEAT!)

Gosh, he's so pretty.

- Why is he so cute? - Right.

I want to raise him.

I should take him after we're done.

(TEAM GROOVE's bench can't lose.)

I think we're Number Two. Please pick us!

Gosh.

Kyung Ho acting cute? This is a precious scene.

You all have to press the button. Please vote.

- Please vote for us! - Number Two!

- Please press Number One! - Please vote for us!

- Please! - Five,

four, three,

two, one.

The voting is over.

- We won't lose this one. - Right?

Losing can't happen to us.

Gosh, I feel so nervous. I feel more nervous about this...

- than our performance. - Seriously.

Our team's performance did seem to be spotless.

I didn't see any mistakes.

We just need to accept the result.

I'm not sure.

(I'm not sure who will win.)

We will now reveal the result.

The owner of the new song, "MAMMA MIA," is...

(Who will become the owner of the new song, "MAMMA MIA?")

We have to win...

not to make our teammates get any yellow cards.

(We have to win not to make our teammates get any yellow cards.)

Our team must've won no matter what.

(TEAM BEAT has received 7 yellow cards.)

(If they lose again,)

(there might be members eliminated with 2 yellow cards.)

Our team can't afford to get more yellow cards.

I don't want to lose.

I really want to take away their new song.

I really hope for us to win.

(Extremely nervous)

I can't watch this!

(I can't watch this!)

The owner of the new song, "MAMMA MIA," is...

(Will the new song be kept or intercepted?)

(Who will become the winner of this match?)

TEAM GROOVE! Congratulations!

(TEAM GROOVE's bench wins.)

(TEAM GROOVE's bench manages to intercept TEAM BEAT's new song.)

(We got their song!)

(Congratulations!)

("MAMMA MIA (WHO WE ARE)" by TEAM GROOVE's bench...)

(will be released on December 21 at 6pm.)

(That's amazing.)

(It really got intercepted!)

(TEAM BEAT's starting lineup wasn't able to keep the song.)

(Another unbelievable loss)

Is this even possible?

(Is this even possible?)

This is flustering.

(Another loss hits them right after their previous loss.)

- Great job! - Great job!

- Great job! - Great job!

Gosh, he looks really sad.

(Worried)

Don't cry!

(Kyung Ho spots Woong Ki crying.)

(He hesitates to go to him as he's on the opposing team.)

(TEAM BEAT's starting lineup heads to Woong Ki.)

It's okay. You did really well.

(Kyung Ho plucks up his courage and heads toward him.)

Woong Ki.

You did really well.

(As he knows how much Woong Ki wanted to do well,)

(Kyung Ho quietly comforts him.)

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

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

(Only the sound of Woong Ki crying can be heard...)

(in TEAM BEAT's waiting room.)

(Director EL CAPITXN leaves as he finds it tough to watch.)

It's a world of competition,

- It's scary. - but I do feel...

quite bad.

I'm sorry.

- It's okay! - You did well, Woong Ki!

I thought that I would feel...

a burst of joy after winning.

I really worked hard to prepare for this performance.

But...

I felt really numb.

I think I have something I wish to tell Woong Ki.

When I was on the same team as Woong Ki,

I imagined us getting good results...

and lifting up the trophy together.

But we're now on different teams...

and walking our own paths.

I know how serious...

Woong Ki is about this and how hard he works.

I want to tell him that he did a great job.

Working with him...

feels like yesterday.

After hearing his words,

I cried as I felt really sorry.

(These two can now truly root for each other's new path.)

- You did really well. - Gosh, Woong Ki!

This is heartbreaking.

Someone is really going to go home today.

Gosh.

(TEAM BEAT's starting lineup returns to the waiting room.)

It's okay.

- I'm sorry. - Don't be sorry.

I should be the one to feel sorry.

(The players feel hurt after their losses.)

It's okay.

These things can happen.

(Director YUGYEOM gives them a warm hug.)

You guys did well.

Anyone would've thought you guys were the winners.

I'm serious.

(Their tears won't stop flowing even with his warm words.)

I'm serious.

You guys have done nothing wrong. You all did well.

You guys were the winners.

I'm serious.

- Thank you. - I'm serious.

(We hope these are pains...)

(that will make them stronger tomorrow.)

(TEAM RHYTHM's waiting room feels tense.)

(Feeling nervous)

Even during the previous round,

- our starting lineup won. - Right.

But our bench was a bit disappointing.

(But our bench was a bit disappointing.)

(The bench's performance in Round 1)

(Incorrect dance moves...)

(and singing out of tune)

This...

(TEAM RHYTHM's directors showed their disappointment.)

You have to do well today.

(Determined nod)

Can you do well?

- We can do well! - We can do well!

(Let's intercept as well!)

"Prison" should become TEAM RHYTHM's song as well.

- Let's get two songs! - Okay!

Do you think you can take away their song?

- Yes! - Intercept!

- Take their song! - Take their song!

- Just do what you used to do. - Right.

- This is your song. - Right.

Don't think about getting it taken away.

That was how we prepared for this, right?

- Got it. - Hands down. In 1, 2, 3.

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

Shall we meet the stars of Intercept Round's final match?

(Excited)

The ones that will try to protect their new song...

with a sturdy defense. The team with the strongest vocalists,

TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup. Please come up onstage.

Director Lee Chang Sub...

wrote this song just for us.

It will be hard for any team...

to take away our song.

(Gangdong)

(Kenta)

(Check out their outfits.)

Seo Jeong Woo.

Kwon Hee Jun.

Kim Gi Joong.

Yeo Gangdong. Bae Jae Ho.

Kenta.

Park Han.

(Park Han, Gi Joong)

(Amazed)

- Hee Jun. - Hee Jun.

They look insane.

Is it because they have fair skin? It really suits them.

- They look so good. - Right.

This is the opposing team...

that will try to take away TEAM GROOVE's new song.

The team with intense performances,

TEAM RHYTHM's bench. Please come up onstage.

Our team's intense performance...

is unrivaled.

We can beat TEAM GROOVE.

(We can beat TEAM GROOVE.)

These two teams have such a strong presence.

(Eito, Seo Jeong Woo)

Eito.

Ayumu.

Mac. Li Zhinuo.

Xie Yuxin. Jin Ziming.

Sirin.

(They are all amazed.)

They look like vampires!

(Last match of the Intercept Round)

Gosh, why do I feel so nervous?

(The directors feel nervous as well as it's the last match of Round 2.)

Which song are you two teams fighting for?

The song that we have prepared for is called "Prison."

As we are the team with the strongest vocalists,

our director has made this song based on that.

I think it will be a song that will be hard...

to intercept from us.

(Smirking)

(TEAM GROOVE shows a lot of confidence.)

Our team displays a strong performance.

With a stronger performance,

we will take away your new song.

Of course.

(Will that be possible?)

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

- RHYTHM! - RHYTHM!

Let's go!

Let's get them.

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench watches from the seats.)

Gi Joong.

How was it when you first listened to the song?

As soon as I listened to it,

my eyes popped out as it was so good.

And as the song was really difficult,

we struggled quite a lot during practice,

even as the strongest vocalists.

This is supposed to be a secret,

but Director Lee Chang Sub...

said this song was hard even for him.

(How hard is it?)

(Clearing his throat)

But TEAM GROOVE has Park Han.

The singing is important for this song,

but Han is there.

(How were the practice sessions for the tough song, "Prison?")

(Practice room of TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup)

Do you know what was said when they provoked us?

I don't remember what was said because I never was affected by it.

All I remember is Li Zhinuo walking up to me.

(After the opposing teams were decided)

(It's a very difficult song.)

The only team that can handle this song...

(TEAM GROOVE provoked them with their vocal skills.)

(TEAM RHYTHM fought back with the yellow card performance.)

- Nice one - Go, Li Zhinuo!

(Look at this punk!)

To be honest,

I don't feel afraid of them.

We have great members,

and influential members...

joined our team.

Our team has three MVPs.

It was great because they all felt reliable.

Shall we listen to the song?

- Yes. - Yes.

Go.

(A melody that brings back memories)

I thought the song got better with each listen.

Each day, in those memories

I loved the chorus the most.

I also thought it would suit my voice.

(They all are into the song.)

(And I cannot escape)

(On this pitch-black night)

The song is amazing.

- Gosh. - It...

It sounds like a song...

made just for TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup.

- Right. - It's insane.

Gosh.

Don't you think we are the only ones...

- who can pull off this song? - Right.

Is there a member on that team who can pull off the chorus?

You were on that team, Hee Jun.

Xie Yuxin is the rapper.

But he could hit really high notes.

That was why he was the main vocalist.

Is he better than Han?

No way.

Okay.

To be honest, I think Han...

is the best singer on this show.

The main vocalist of main vocalists.

Don't feel shy!

I acted confident...

because I was relying on Han.

(The reliable vocalist, Han)

Me too.

I think things are going out of hand.

- Gosh. - It'd be great if you could stop.

He's just really talented.

I think he's the most talented...

out of all 42 players.

(TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup is practicing their singing.)

(Showing how it's done)

Expressing rage and resentment.

It was really hard to sing that way.

You have to sound huskier.

We

We can't afford to fail and give up

How do you sound huskier?

Just try to sound huskier.

Hey!

- Like this? - Like this?

(Trying to sound like Han as much as possible)

That was close.

So I can breathe

Can you do that part for me?

So I can breathe

(Why not?)

Five, six, seven...

(Han harmonizes with him.)

One more time.

So I can breathe and be free

- Make it ring. - Ring?

Right.

Five, six, seven...

So I can breathe and be free

- Free - Right.

One last time, please.

I'm sorry.

(He helps out with his practicing endlessly.)

(Hee Jun is in charge of the rap part of "Prison.")

(Confused)

(He's fine with the rap part as well.)

Every day, every night, does this make sense?

There's an accent on the last word.

(Detailed)

Every day, every night, does this make sense?

He took great care of our team members.

It has to be detailed.

(Han became a vocal trainer for the members during practice.)

If TEAM GROOVE takes first place,

I believe Han should get...

a lot of credit for the win.

(The vocal training ends.)

(Han is practicing on his own.)

(Doing his best)

(Doing his best again)

(Repeating it until he is satisfied)

There are a lot of high notes,

and it requires a lot of breath.

I thought it was a tough song...

to sing while dancing.

(Practicing hard so he can sing stably...)

(even while dancing.)

So...

I'm just practicing...

until I can do it.

(He's facing the obstacle straight on...)

(instead of avoiding it.)

Are you doing well?

- Yes. - We're working hard.

(Director Lee Chang Sub is here for the interim check.)

- Just the singing. - Okay.

Yes, let's just sing first.

- Han. - Yes?

When you start, it needs to sound...

- a bit more like you're taking off. - Okay.

So...

It feels like I am trapped in the cycle that is you

There is no end, prison

Like this.

- There is no end, prison - There we go.

- Okay. - That could make you breathless.

- Okay. - But if you practice, it'll work.

Okay.

- And you can't take off. - Okay.

- You're in the air already. - Okay.

- Okay? - Okay.

- You're following him, right? - Yes.

You have to continue his energy.

There is no end, prison

- Like this. You need to connect it. - Okay.

Think of it as a relay.

- It's a relay. - Okay.

- Okay? - Okay.

I am trapped in the times, stuck in the cracks

And I cannot escape

- Like this. - Okay.

(Meanwhile)

Try it. Lower.

- I got goosebumps. - I am trapped in the times

(He can't take his eyes off him.)

(Reacting every time he sings)

Try it again.

Five, six, seven, eight.

- I am trapped in the times - That's our director.

Good.

Don't overthink it.

Put your hand here...

and imagine that your voice doesn't go...

any farther than that.

- Okay. - Okay?

That way... Where is the end

- You have to keep it inside. Okay? - Okay.

Director Lee Chang Sub...

keeps us positive.

He gives us the carrot and the stick at the same time.

"I'll keep you positive, but I'll also help you improve."

He's kind of like that.

(Afterward, Director Lee Chang Sub...)

(checks on the choreography, focusing on the main part.)

(Glaring)

(The choreography is tough, despite it being a high part.)

There is no end, prison

Okay. You can stop there.

For the "There is no exit, prison" part,

- don't dance. - Okay.

- Okay. - Just hit the important points.

- Okay. - And I cannot escape

Don't dance during that part.

- Bang! - There is no end, prison

Because we're a team centered around vocals,

he was directing us in a way...

that highlighted our vocals.

(Director Chang Sub's strategy:)

(Focus on the vocals without ruining the choreography.)

He made our vocals the focus.

"If your vocals are affected, let's remove some of the dancing."

It feels a lot more comfortable to watch now.

(And Director Lee Chang Sub's secret weapon)

Show me your abs.

(Suddenly showing off their abs?)

Should we show off your abs here?

(They were waiting to change up their looks.)

(This is the time to do so.)

(Very satisfied)

Don't gain weight, okay?

Okay.

Okay. Good.

I thought Kenta would be able to capture the audience's eyes...

with his looks in the introduction, which is a very important part.

So I'm not worried at all.

Yes, sir.

Let's watch the performance by TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup,

the owners of the new song.

TEAM GROOVE. Are you ready?

(Kwon Hee Jun)

Thinking about how well Han will do...

- already makes me... - Han.

Thinking about hearing Han's singing makes me excited.

Right?

We'll prove that only our team can perform this song.

We will take "Prison" no matter what.

I love you, Hee Jun.

Ready? Go.

("Prison" by Bae Jae Ho, Kenta, Kim Gi Joong,)

(Kwon Hee Jun, Park Han, Seo Jeong Woo, Yeo Gangdong)

(Kenta)

That outfit is cheating.

Oh, a body roll.

(Jeong Woo)

Okay, let's go!

This team has strong vocals.

Their vocals are so...

They're too good.

How seductive.

Oh, my.

(Oh, my, GROOVE!)

Han really is great!

That was good.

How could anyone beat this?

No matter what anyone says, they did well.

They're so good.

Nice.

(TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup gave a high-quality performance.)

Their dancing was a bit lacking.

(TEAM RHYTHM is strong in terms of dancing.)

I have a good feeling for our team.

- Show them, RHYTHM. - Show them, RHYTHM.

(Now, all TEAM RHYTHM's bench has to do is to strike back.)

(Nervous)

We'll win.

We'll definitely get first place.

That was TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup.

Good job!

- You can join your team now. - Good job!

Good work.

Good job, Hee Jun!

(You dominated today. I'm so proud of you.)

Good job, boys!

(It was a satisfactory performance, including the audience reaction.)

The most memorable people were Han...

Han, Gi Joong, Kenta, and Hee Jun?

That's all of them.

I thought we'd win because the performance went well.

I believe we did everything we could.

We will invite TEAM RHYTHM's bench onto the stage...

to take on TEAM GROOVE.

(Let's go, RHYTHM.)

Why am I so nervous?

This team is very global.

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench has players from several countries.)

Oh, right. They don't have a Korean member.

There's not a single Korean member.

Li Zhinuo.

(Extremely nervous)

(He's so cute.)

Li Zhinuo.

What did you honestly think when you heard the song?

(Curious)

Honestly, the song is too high.

It's too hard.

(Everyone laughs at how nervous he is.)

He's so cute.

Okay. Nice.

What did you think of TEAM GROOVE's performance?

I thought we could take them on.

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench players confidently provoke the opponents.)

(Not affected at all)

Good job.

That's what I'm talking about.

Vocals are very important in this song.

Since TEAM RHYTHM's bench has many players...

whose main strength is dancing,

I thought it would be hard for them.

Our vocalists are good too.

He gives our team stability.

He's good at singing and dancing.

He's so good.

Who is TEAM RHYTHM's main vocalist?

(Who is TEAM RHYTHM's main vocalist?)

Me.

(Sirin is the main vocalist of TEAM RHYTHM's bench.)

(Who?)

(Let's go, Sirin.)

- Be confident. That's right. - Main vocalist.

Sirin will carry the team.

Sirin is good at singing.

He's good at singing.

(How was practice for TEAM RHYTHM's confident bench players?)

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench's practice room)

We're going to compete...

against TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup.

How do you feel?

Park Han, who was in Group "Siren..."

- is on this team, right? - Right.

- Park Han. - Yes, Han.

(From TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup, they're most worried about Han.)

(From TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup, they're most worried about Han.)

Since Han is good at singing...

and at dancing,

I think he's the most...

threatening player.

TEAM GROOVE has many vocalists,

but our team...

- has many dancers and rappers. - You're right.

When I look...

at our team,

I see...

many talented players,

so I think it'll be easy.

(Thumbs-up)

Oh, my. This is going to be really fun...

because I obviously have a yellow card,

and I also really want...

to get that revenge. You know what I mean?

(Mac is very eager.)

(And another player with a yellow card...)

(burning with passion)

You gave me a yellow card, right?

(I'm going to stop eating and only practice.)

Okay.

Me too.

No sleep.

(Sleeping is also prohibited!)

(What is that?)

Okay?

Practice.

(There's something else?)

No bathroom.

"No bathroom?"

(Li Zhinuo is only interested in intercepting the song.)

Either I'll get eliminated,

or other members will get yellow cards.

I'm planning to give our opponents yellow cards.

I want TEAM RHYTHM's bench...

to get first place this time.

I'll work super,

super hard.

(The other team members burn up with passion too.)

I'll work hard.

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

(Checking the song right away)

(They're listening to the song later than TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup.)

(The introduction of the song starts with a low rap.)

(There are many explosive high notes the further you get into the song.)

(He tries singing along,)

(but it's too hard.)

(He can't even dare to try the high notes.)

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench fell silent at the difficult song.)

Oh, it's hard.

It's overwhelming.

It was so hard because it was so high.

(The mood becomes serious...)

(because it's difficult to sing even a line of the high parts.)

Oh, my gosh.

It's easy.

(It's easy?)

But it's so high.

(But it's so high.)

(Sirin tries singing the high part.)

There is no end, prison

The chorus is yours.

Prison

The chorus is yours.

Okay, you'll take the vocal part.

I think Sirin could be our main vocalist.

You have a nice voice.

(With that one impactful verse, he earned his team's trust.)

Hello. I'm Sirin, and I'm from Thailand.

(He passed his audition with his emotional singing...)

(that makes it hard to believe that he's 16 years old.)

(He showed off his powerful dancing and singing during the draft.)

(Sirin)

(He joined TEAM RHYTHM's starting lineup...)

(as the directors' First Pick.)

(Sirin handled his part as the sub-vocalist in Round 1.)

- Sirin. - Sirin.

You're our team's main vocalist king.

I also think Sirin's dancing...

is better than Park Han's.

Oh, my.

He said beating Park Han would be easy.

(The reliable youngest)

- Nice. - Sirin.

- Oh, yes. Thank you. - Really?

- "Really?" - Really?

- Help me. Sirin. Help me. - Really?

- Really? - Help me.

You're the only one.

Maybe, I'll have to go home.

(Lots of responsibility)

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

You know, I'm so nervous...

because I dropped...

from the starting lineup to the bench,

but I can help out with my vocals...

and help this team get first place.

(Sirin is the main vocalist for TEAM RHYTHM's bench.)

(Practicing hard for his team's victory)

(Practicing hard for his team's victory)

There is no end

(Explosive high notes)

(Oh, my.)

(His high notes sound clearer with repeated practice.)

Oh, my.

Not only can Sirin sing the best...

and hit the right notes,

he can also sing in a pleasant way.

I believe...

he will lift our team up...

with his vocals.

(A few days later...)

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench is practicing the choreography to the music.)

(Maximum power)

(The floor choreography follows.)

(Unlike TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup,)

(they added difficult moves.)

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench performs...)

(this obviously difficult move very smoothly.)

(And the next move)

(A part with extremely synchronized moves)

(Clean angles)

(More clean angles)

Since dancing is our team's strength,

we practiced a lot to be synchronized.

There aren't many players...

who can dance this well there,

so I thought our team...

had a chance of winning.

(To intercept the new song,)

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench will compete with both their vocals and dancing.)

(After a tough dance practice session)

(Looking tired)

- How was it? - Oh, my. How is your group doing?

(Ta-da.)

(What is that?)

Let's eat tteokbokki!

(Snack time for the players who have been practicing hard)

- Let's eat tteokbokki. - What is this?

The packaging is so pretty. So pink.

Pink.

(We didn't know what they'd like.)

This looks delicious.

(So we prepared two types of tteokbokki.)

Sundae!

(And you can't miss tteokbokki's best friends.)

- There's sundae. - Oh, my gosh.

Guys, let's eat then.

- Okay. - Okay.

Let's go!

- We'll enjoy it. - Enjoy, everyone.

I'll enjoy it.

- Zhang Shuaibo, what do you want? - He stood up.

- This? - Let's go.

- Enjoy. - Enjoy, guys.

- Thanks. - I'll enjoy this.

I'll enjoy it.

(Sirin goes for the spicy and sweet tteokbokki.)

- It's so good. - I'll enjoy it.

(Exclaiming)

- It's so good. - Is it good?

Yes, it's good.

(They must've been hungry, seeing how they're silently eating.)

This too.

- You know, - Yes?

these must be flour-based rice cakes.

That's the kind I personally love,

which makes this even more delicious.

(Who can resist flour-based rice cakes?)

It's delicious.

(Flour-based rice cakes are the best.)

- Do you eat sundae? - I do.

Dip it in the sauce.

- Really? - Yes.

It's really good.

(The combo recommended by the brother from Australia.)

(Taking a bite each)

Isn't it so much better?

(It's amazing.)

Daisuke, dip the sundae in the tteokbokki sauce.

- What's this? - That's sundae.

- Sundae? - Yes.

I haven't tried this before.

- Is it your first time? - Yes.

This is Daisuke's first time having sundae.

- Really? - Yes.

(The 3 older members watch Daisuke have his 1st sundae.)

Is it good?

- Is it good? - It's good.

So cute.

Everything's so good.

Do you want this? No?

(Eating)

You're killing me.

(Chih En cracks up at Zhang Shuaibo's playfulness.)

- Wasn't that funny? - It wasn't.

Why not?

Guys, let's make a toast.

TEAM RHYTHM.

- For 1st place! - For 1st place!

(Thanks to the delicious snacks, they are fully recharged.)

(After enjoying a short break,)

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench goes back to practicing.)

(Just then)

(Someone visits TEAM RHYTHM's bench.)

Okay.

"The memories..."

- What? - Hold on.

- Hello! - Hi!

- Hi. - No way.

Are things going well?

- Yes. - Absolutely.

- Hello. - Really? Hey.

- Oh, my gosh. - No way.

(Puzzled)

The song's tough, isn't it?

- It is. - Yes.

(It's difficult to master.)

Show me what you've got.

- Sure. - Let's take a look.

(They present "Prison...")

(to the director of the opposing team.)

Each day, in those memories

We can't afford to fail and give up

(Smirking)

And I cannot escape

On this pitch-black night

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Sirin, you're a talented vocalist.

(Sirin, you're a talented vocalist.)

Thank you.

Director Lee Chang Sub.

Even though he was from the other team,

he commented regarding my vocal skills...

and said it was excellent.

It was a great moment for me, and I was really happy.

You guys know how to put on a performance,

so I should tell my team to practice harder...

not to lose their song.

(Proud)

You delivered with your performance.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

I think that if...

we were to use our biggest asset, which are...

in terms of performance, good dancing skills,

and also good vocal skills,

I think that we can possibly beat TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup.

We won't beat TEAM GROOVE per se.

We'll kill TEAM GROOVE.

(Relaxed and confident)

(What kind of performance will TEAM RHYTHM's bench present?)

TEAM RHYTHM. Are you ready?

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

- Please. - Let's do this!

You'd better steal their song.

- You've got this. - Sirin, come on!

I believe in you.

- Let's go. - Hey, come on.

Sirin, you've got this.

We are a talented group...

that can deliver in terms of dancing and vocal skills.

TEAM RHYTHM doesn't lose.

Ready?

Go.

("Prison" by Ayumu, Eito,)

(Jin Ziming, Li Zhinuo, Mac, Sirin, Xie Yuxin)

(What was that?)

(Embarrassed)

Check out their dance.

(What?)

They're so on point.

No way!

My gosh.

Goodness.

Sirin!

Their live singing is better than expected.

Why are they this good?

Oh, my gosh!

(No way.)

(That's it!)

They're so good.

- No way. - Nice.

I love their choreography.

It goes perfectly with the song's vibe.

I honestly can't tell who'll win.

- They keep leaving you in awe. - I know.

(Speechless)

(Go, TEAM RHYTHM!)

All right!

- Go! - Okay!

I have to admit that it's cool.

Okay. They did great.

(Good job.)

(Their performance was on fire!)

I don't care if they win or lose.

They were just good.

I could tell they practiced a lot.

- They practiced a lot. - Exactly.

Vocal-oriented versus dance-oriented.

(TEAM GROOVE's vocals versus TEAM RHYTHM's dance)

The two performances feel different.

We might lose the song.

I think they'll steal it away.

(It becomes tense for TEAM GROOVE.)

Clearly, they came prepared.

They were better than expected.

Their dancing was stylish and impressive.

(It's now time to see who'll own "Prison.")

The voting will begin.

(On-site voting begins.)

(Since it's the last match,)

(the audience makes a careful decision.)

Do you think our team will win?

- Of course. - Absolutely.

I'm proud of what our team accomplished today.

I could tell that the bench members came out packing a punch today.

- Look at that. - There you go.

(Launching an attack with his abs)

Goodness.

(Gangdong)

(My gosh)

(An encore of his abs)

(Nicely done, Kenta!)

Kenta, nice!

(My belly, close your eyes.)

(Showing off his abs is the same as cheating.)

He's showing too much skin.

Please vote for us. Thank you.

(Adorable)

He worked a lot on his Korean.

- Press one. - Guys!

- Press 1. - It's Number 1.

- Press 1. - We're Number 1.

- RHYTHM. - RHYTHM.

- RHYTHM. - RHYTHM!

(The players appeal until the end.)

Three,

- two, - RHYTHM.

one.

The voting has been closed.

I won't be surprised no matter who wins.

This boils down to personal preference.

(They gave off different vibes,)

(which makes it harder to predict the outcome.)

Let us reveal the result of the match.

(Will they secure it?)

(Will they steal it?)

I doubt they'll be able to steal our song from us.

We can beat TEAM GROOVE.

I can feel years being shaved off my lifespan.

(TEAM GROOVE must secure their song...)

(while TEAM RHYTHM must intercept it.)

Please.

The two teams went head to head.

Who will get to release the new song, "Prison?"

(Who will get to release the new song, "Prison?")

It's TEAM GROOVE. Congratulations.

(TEAM GROOVE wins the battle for "Prison.")

Let's go!

(TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup managed to secure "Prison.")

(Both the starting lineup and bench of TEAM GROOVE...)

(won new songs.)

- TEAM GROOVE! - All right!

(What a relief.)

This is crazy!

It's all right. We did great.

(TEAM RHYTHM's bench members console one another.)

Thank you.

I really feel sorry.

I want to apologize to the starting lineup...

for not being good enough.

- It's all right. - Exactly.

They did great.

- That's for sure. - I have no regrets.

Absolutely.

- The result isn't everything. - Right.

You worked hard, preparing for the second round.

"Prison" is now yours.

The two teams went head to head.

(Round 2, Intercept)

("Prison" by TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup...)

Who will get to release the new song "Prison?"

(will be released on December 21 at 6pm.)

- Congratulations. - Congratulations!

(Who will get to release the new song, "Prison?")

Good job.

This is the first official song we'll be releasing under our name,

and it feels weird.

I'm touched in a way,

and I'm also grateful.

There are a lot of mixed feelings involved.

I'm truly glad that I didn't miss out...

on this opportunity.

(Round 2, the Intercept Round, is over)

Round Two, the Intercept Round.

The on-site voting decided the teams to win the song.

(The on-site voting decided the teams to win the song.)

I can't look at our directors in their faces anymore.

However, the final ranking of the teams will be determined...

by the on-site voting and the online voting.

(On-site and online votes will be added to determine the ranking.)

The ratio of the votes will be half on-site voting...

Half and half?

- and half online voting. - No way.

Then it's up for grabs.

- You never know. - It can go either way.

First, we will reveal the total on-site voting score...

for each team's starting lineup and bench.

(The scores for the starting lineup and bench will be revealed.)

- What's that? - Are you kidding me?

- My gosh. - Goodness.

So that's how the scores will be revealed.

The first song, "IGNITION,"

went to TEAM RHYTHM's starting lineup.

(With their fierce performance and perfect teamwork)

(TEAM RHYTHM's starting lineup managed to secure "IGNITION.")

By how many points did they win?

Here are the scores.

(The scores for the "IGNITION" match)

(Nervous)

("IGNITION" match)

(TEAM RHYTHM's starting lineup: 243, TEAM BEAT's bench: 154)

- TEAM RHYTHM. - Nice.

You received 243 votes.

TEAM BEAT, you received 154 votes.

- Still, that was... - It was better than expected.

- Good. - It's not that bad.

It's 243 to 154.

There isn't much of a gap.

What a relief.

Next was the "MAMMA MIA" match.

TEAM GROOVE's bench ended up winning the song.

(TEAM GROOVE's bench stole the song from TEAM BEAT's starting lineup.)

("MAMMA MIA" match)

The team ranking for Round Two after the on-site voting.

TEAM GROOVE is in first place.

TEAM RHYTHM is in second place.

And TEAM BEAT is in third place.

(TEAM BEAT is in 3rd place after the on-site voting.)

There's a huge difference in the scores.

TEAM GROOVE killed it.

Are you kidding me?

(Total on-site voting score, RHYTHM: 344, GROOVE: 516, BEAT: 328)

The online voting could make a huge difference.

Who knows what the votes are like?

Oh, no.

Thousands of people would've voted online.

Thousands? Try five figures.

You're right.

To be honest,

there are a lot of popular members on TEAM RHYTHM.

It felt as though TEAM RHYTHM would turn the tables.

I believed that TEAM RHYTHM...

would come out on top thanks to the online voting.

Let's check out the votes.

We'll now add the online voting scores,

and reveal the final ranking.

- Please. - Come on.

(The online voting scores are from the 1st Global Fan Voting.)

Please, the online voting.

This is where we turn the tables.

The online votes received by individual members...

were converted to match the value of the on-site votes.

(Online votes were converted to match the value of on-site votes.)

First, please reveal TEAM BEAT's score.

(Revealing TEAM BEAT's final score)

There's only a 16-vote gap...

between us and TEAM RHYTHM.

I'm so nervous.

Your online voting score is 315.

I can't tell if that's high or not.

- Is that a lot? - In total, you received 643 votes.

Next, please reveal TEAM RHYTHM's score.

(Revealing TEAM RHYTHM's final score)

Please let it be 600.

What if we didn't get a high score?

Please.

(TEAM RHYTHM, On-site: 344, Online: 516)

No way!

You received 516 votes.

- Let's go! - Yes!

That's a lot.

Lastly...

- Please. - We need more than 344 votes.

- Lastly, - We need more than that.

reveal TEAM GROOVE's score.

We have this in the bag. It's doable.

We need more than 344 votes. Please.

Please.

- Please... - Let it be 300.

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

(Which team will be the final winner of Round 2?)

- My goodness! - Oh, gosh. Wait!

(What?)

(TEAM GROOVE, On-site: 516, Online: 369)

(Total: 885)

(TEAM GROOVE is the final winner of Round 2.)

What a relief.

(1st place again)

- Congratulations! - What a relief!

(Final Score)

TEAM GROOVE...

took first place by a narrow margin.

(TEAM GROOVE is on a 2-round winning streak.)

What a relief!

(TEAM GROOVE is on a 2-round winning streak.)

(Han Seo is proud.)

We won the first place.

It feels like winning a gold medal in the finals.

It was great. I was very happy.

(TEAM RHYTHM lost to TEAM GROOVE again.)

Again?

(TEAM RHYTHM lost to TEAM GROOVE again.)

Although there was some disappointment...

about finishing 2nd, the 1st thing that came to mind...

was that our team was getting yellow cards.

Why are you crying?

- It's okay. - No, it isn't.

(Bench players of TEAM RHYTHM are anxious about being eliminated.)

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

It's okay.

(TEAM BEAT ranked 3rd.)

We're in last place again.

Why do we always face challenges like this?

It was unsettling.

I will announce the player...

who will receive a yellow card.

According to the results of Round Two,

TEAM RHYTHM in 2nd place will receive 3 yellow cards.

(TEAM RHYTHM in 2nd place will receive 3 yellow cards.)

TEAM BEAT in third place...

will get six yellow cards.

The yellow cards will be...

given to the lower-ranking bench players on the team.

Let's check the individual ranking...

to see who will receive the yellow card.

(Individual ranking that will determine the players' fate)

I will announce the ranking of the first-place team...

that has no yellow cards.

TEAM GROOVE players, please come on out.

(Checking the individual ranking of the winning team, TEAM GROOVE)

They're amazing. They have no yellow cards.

The 1st to 7th place will be the starting players,

and the 8th to 14th place will be the bench players.

They're all talented.

The winner of TEAM GROOVE is...

Is it Jeong Woo?

- Maybe? - Yes, Jeong Woo.

I think it'll be Hee Jun.

I had high hopes.

I always have hopes of a positive outcome.

Of course, I thought it would be nice to be the winner.

Who will take first place?

There are too many candidates.

The winner of TEAM GROOVE is...

(Who'll take 1st place in TEAM GROOVE?)

Kenta. Congratulations.

(Kenta in 1st place)

(Nice.)

It's 19,000 points?

(Starting lineup: Kenta, 19,423 points)

(That's a big number.)

It can reach 20,000?

To be honest,

in TEAM GROOVE's starting lineup,

I'm the only Japanese.

But...

I had to be the center, and I was worried.

I was anxious every night...

and sometimes...

couldn't sleep.

But today, I took a new step forward,

and through this experience,

I will continue to grow.

I'll announce the second place.

(Announcing the 2nd place of TEAM GROOVE)

- Jeong Woo or Hee Jun? - Hee Jun?

I think it'll be Gi Joong.

The second place is...

Jang Kyung Ho. Congratulations.

Park Han. Congratulations.

(Park Han, 11,127 points, 6th place)

The seventh place is...

(Who'll take the last place on the starting lineup of the team?)

- Gi Joong? - I think it's Gi Joon or Han Seo.

The seventh place is...

He Junjin. Congratulations.

(He Junjin, 10,312 points, 7th place)

TEAM GROOVE's starting players...

please move to your seats.

This is unpredictable.

It all changed.

The eighth place is Koo Han Seo.

The ninth place is James.

The tenth place is Kim Gi Joong.

The 11th place is Bae Jae Ho.

The 12th place is Kim Dae Yun.

The 13th place is Zen Zen.

The last, 14th place, is Yeo Gangdong.

You can now move to your seats.

It's unpredictable.

(After TEAM GROOVE's individual ranking announcement)

TEAM RHYTHM, who finished second, please come on out.

(It's TEAM RHYTHM who won the 2nd place.)

Gosh. The yellow card is coming.

Their global fan votes are high.

I'm looking forward to their numbers.

Mac and Li Zhinuo received a yellow card...

previously on TEAM RHYTHM.

If they receive one more,

they won't be able to participate...

in Universe League.

(They can't participate in Universe League.)

It's cruel.

Who will receive the yellow card this time?

Will we see the first player...

eliminated from Universe League today?

Let's check the individual ranking.

(TEAM RHYTHM's individual ranking)

I'll announce it from the first place.

Wouldn't it be JL?

Steven?

Zhang Shuaibo?

This team has a lot of strong players.

The first place is...

(Who will win 1st place on TEAM RHYTHM?)

- JL. Congratulations. - Oh, my.

(Surprised)

- What? - It's 38,000 points?

- It's 38,000 points? - It's 38,000 points?

(Everyone's surprised by JL's individual points.)

Oh, my gosh.

- My goodness. - It's 38,000 points?

Oh, my gosh.

- It's twice as much as Kenta's. - I know, right?

One thing I will promise is that...

I will never make you regret that you voted for me, guys.

So, I can say, please expect me to do...

better in the future missions. Thank you so much.

Let's move on to the second place.

I think it'll be Ju Won.

(The 2nd place of the individual ranking of TEAM RHYTHM)

It's Zhang Shuaibo. Congratulations.

He got so many votes.

(Zhang Shuaibo, 25,662 points, 2nd place)

- No, wait. - Oh, my gosh.

There was a reason their votes were high.

The third place is...

(Who won the 3rd place on TEAM RHYTHM?)

Steven.

(Steven, 24,199 points, 3rd place)

I knew it.

The fourth place is Chih En. Congratulations.

Everyone has higher points than Kenta.

TEAM RHYTHM is too strong.

The fifth place is...

Park Ju Won. Congratulations.

(Park Ju Won, 13,426 points, 5th place)

The sixth place is...

(TEAM RHYTHM: Starting lineup)

- There's no change in the lineup. - Yes.

(Will a previous starting player take 6th place?)

- Eito. Congratulations. - Oh, Eito.

(Eito, 12,364 points, 6th place)

My goodness.

Now, it's the last starting player.

(TEAM RHYTHM: Starting lineup)

Who will be the last starting player?

Sirin? Daisuke?

The seventh place is Daisuke. Congratulations.

(The last starting player of TEAM RHYTHM is Daisuke.)

(Daisuke, 12,062 points, 7th place)

This team didn't change much from the previous lineup.

There's not much change.

Only Hiroto changed.

(Only Hiroto's position changed.)

Three among them...

will receive yellow cards.

Li Zhinuo and Mac's names...

have not been called on yet.

(Li Zhinuo and Mac's names have not been called yet.)

I was very worried.

If I receive one more yellow card, I need to go home.

I thought I was in big trouble.

I wasn't sure how many people would vote for me.

I'll announce from the eighth place.

The eighth place is...

I can't watch.

(Who placed 8th on TEAM RHYTHM?)

Li Zhinuo.

(Li Zhinuo survived in 8th place.)

Li Zhinuo survived.

You can go to your seats.

I'll announce the ninth place.

(Announcing the 9th place in TEAM RHYTHM)

The ninth place is...

Ayumu.

(Ayumu, 7,189 points, 9th place)

Ayumu, you can go to your seat too.

I'm going to get another yellow card.

I'm going to go home by myself.

I was just praying that...

it wasn't going to be me, and...

The tenth place is...

(Who will avoid the yellow card by being in 10th place?)

It's Mac.

Mac.

(Mac survived by being in the 10th place.)

(Mac survived by being in the 10th place.)

(What a relief.)

Mac!

Mac!

(Tears burst out from relief)

- Well done. - Thank you.

I was really relieved.

I was really happy,

and I feel like it's valid.

Because I feel like I worked really hard.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Good job, Mac.

(Directors and players of TEAM RHYTHM greet him warmly.)

- I survived. - Everyone survived from our team.

Hiroto is in the 11th place.

Sirin is in the 12th place.

Xie Yuxin is in the 13th place.

Jin Ziming is in the 14th place.

Is the elimination only coming from our team?

Yes, I think it'll be only from our team.

Now, let's welcome TEAM BEAT, the third-place team, to the stage.

- My goodness. - Oh, gosh.

- Please take care. - You have to come back.

- I'll come back. - Okay.

My heart aches.

(Who will receive the yellow cards?)

The 3rd-place team will get 6 yellow cards.

(TEAM BEAT of 3rd place will get 6 yellow cards.)

Let's see who will receive the yellow cards...

and if there'll be an elimination.

We'll check the individual ranking.

(Announcing the individual ranking of TEAM BEAT)

I'll announce the 1st place 1st.

The first place is...

(Who will win the 1st place of TEAM BEAT?)

Cha Woong Ki. Congratulations.

(My goodness)

(This is amazing.)

(TEAM BEAT, Starting lineup)

(Cha Woong Ki, 41,870 points, 1st place)

- Woong Ki! - Oh, my gosh!

He's my boy.

Gosh, it's the highest.

Let's hear a few words about how you feel, Woong Ki.

This is amazing.

First, thank you very much.

Since nothing, including the first place...

and the stages we're given,

is guaranteed,

I will do my best to show you only my best performance.

Thank you so much!

- Congratulations, Woong Ki. - Congratulations.

I'll announce the next place.

The second place is...

(Who'll win the 2nd place on TEAM BEAT?)

(My goodness)

Kim Dong Yun.

- Congratulations. - Oh, my.

Thank you.

(Kim Dong Yun, 11,227 points, 2nd place)

It's amazing. My goodness.

I feel proud.

The third place is...

(Who'll win the 3rd place on TEAM BEAT?)

Keum Jin Ho.

Jin Ho.

(Keum Jin Ho, 9,746 points, 3rd place)

I won't waste any time and announce the fourth place.

(Who'll win the 4th place on TEAM BEAT?)

It's Kairi.

(TEAM BEAT, Starting lineup: Kairi, 9,111 points, 4th place)

Oh, no.

(Kairi, 9,111 points, 4th place)

Let's move on to the fifth place!

The fifth place is...

(Announcing the 5th place on TEAM BEAT)

Yuito, congratulations.

(Yuito, 6,027 points, 5th place)

The sixth place is...

(Who'll win the 6th place on TEAM BEAT?)

Please. Anyone with a yellow card.

Then we can have fewer players eliminated.

- Kim Hyo Tae. - Oh, my.

Congratulations.

(Kim Hyo Tae, 5,260 points, 6th place)

- Oh, my. - It's a relief.

I'll announce the last starting player, the seventh place.

The seventh place is...

(TEAM BEAT, Starting lineup)

(Who'll win the 7th place, the last starting player of TEAM BEAT?)

Nam Do Yoon.

(Nam Do Yoon, 5,158 points, 7th place)

Congratulations. Starting players...

can go to your seats.

My gosh.

Only one player here...

won't receive a yellow card.

(Only one player can avoid getting a yellow card.)

I'll announce it now.

The eighth place...

who avoided the yellow card is...

(Who will win the 8th place, avoiding the yellow card?)

- An Yul. - Oh, gosh.

An Yul, you may go to your seat.

All the remaining six players...

are receiving yellow cards.

My goodness.

Five players except Li Zhiwei...

received their second yellow card.

So their elimination is confirmed.

Royce is in the ninth place.

Jiang Fan is in the tenth place.

Li Zhiwei is in the 11th place.

Park Ji Hun is in the 12th place.

Kang Jun Hyuk is in the 13th place.

Park Yeon Jun is in the 14th place.

It's unfortunate, but you have to leave Universe League.

Thanks for your effort.

(It's unfortunate, but it's time to leave Universe League.)

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thanks for your effort. - You all went through a lot!

- Thank you. - Thanks for your effort!

(Giving a round of applause to the players who have worked hard.)

(A heartfelt farewell with the team they've grown close to)

Don't go.

(A heartfelt farewell with the team they've grown close to)

Thank you.

Still, once this show airs,

as long as people know that...

there was someone like me...

who brought passion to the stage, I'll be satisfied.

I met my fans who supported me...

and loved me.

I've never had...

a better experience than this.

I'm just thankful to my fans.

I'll try harder moving forward.

I'll do my best...

and show a lot of improvements.

I hope I'll be...

remembered a lot on this show,

whether it's onstage or in front of the camera.

As we said earlier,

we promised to be positive and smile...

until the end.

So I also want to leave...

with a smile.

From now,

we'll start the trade.

(Trade tickets can make the 1st and 2nd place teams stronger.)

According to the results of Round Two,

TEAM GROOVE won two trade tickets,

and TEAM RHYTHM, who won the second place,

won one trade ticket.

(Sighing)

I kept saying the same thing.

We have to win in every round...

and strengthen our team.

And it came true.

So we can comfortably strengthen our team.

This is so unfair.

We keep losing players.

(What will happen to TEAM BEAT after the trade?)

TEAM GROOVE will start trading first.

Director Lee Chang Sub, please come out to the stage.

- Captain, take care. - Take care.

(TEAM GROOVE has 2 trade tickets.)

(It can be used on both TEAM RHYTHM and TEAM BEAT.)

Why does this feel so ominous?

So this is how you feel.

(Getting released is inevitable with the trade.)

I was anxious for some reason.

(Trade)

Director Lee Chang Sub,

please announce the players you want to release.

They call it "release?"

The one to be released from my team is...

All 14 people are very good.

I didn't want to leave TEAM GROOVE.

(Who's the first player to be released?)

Zen Zen.

(TEAM GROOVE releases Zen Zen in 13th place.)

(Fortunately, Zen Zen's cheerful.)

He seems to like it.

He's too cheerful.

Good job, Zen Zen.

He's bright.

It was a shame,

but since he's a good dancer,

he might do better on another team.

(The older members are sad.)

I'll do my best on another team.

Now, I'd appreciate it if you told me...

who you want to scout.

(Who's he scouting in Zen Zen's place?)

(During Round 1's trade,)

(he scouted Koo Han Seo.)

(He reinforced the team...)

(with Han Seo's strong impression and rap.)

(Then he scouted Kwon Hee Jun.)

(He reinforced the team with Hee Jun's diverse looks.)

(TEAM GROOVE benefited from trading.)

(What's his trade standard this time?)

The player I want to scout is...

If he scouted anyone on my team,

it'd cause a big problem. I was anxious.

I was worried a lot.

From TEAM RHYTHM...

In terms of strategy,

we need popular players.

(2nd place in TEAM RHYTHM)

(3rd place in TEAM RHYTHM)

(Who will Director Lee Chang Sub choose?)

Sirin.

(TEAM GROOVE first scouts Sirin.)

Sirin.

(Sirin in 12th place is nominated.)

Sirin?

I get it.

Sirin's vocals can be really improved.

When he performed "Prison,"

his vocals stood out the most.

He has the image my team doesn't have.

It'll be a good strategy to scout him.

Please move to your new teams.

(Trading Sirin and Zen Zen)

Still, he's the master.

- Well done. - I don't want to go.

Good luck on TEAM RHYTHM.

Good luck.

Wish you the best. Thanks.

Thank you.

Good luck.

(Good luck on the new team.)

(TEAM GROOVE scouts Sirin.)

Now, you only have one trade ticket left.

Announce the player to be released.

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

The second player to be released is...

I never expected it to be me.

He scouted me,

but he might release me.

James.

(TEAM GROOVE releases James in 9th place.)

(TEAM GROOVE releases James in 9th place.)

Also, announce the player to scout.

Yes. The player to be scouted is...

(Who's the second player to be scouted?)

I have a feeling it's J.

I felt it. It's J.

(I'd rather not see it.)

It's J.

(Is it Ju Won as Director TEN suspects?)

(Or JL?)

It is...

(Or trading from TEAM BEAT in danger?)

Once again from TEAM RHYTHM.

Once again from TEAM RHYTHM.

Oh, my gosh.

I know who it is.

Chang Sub, go easy on us.

(Sorry.)

It's J.

J.

(This man is especially anxious.)

I was very anxious.

What if you leave?

What if it's you?

(TEAM RHYTHM's directors expected to trade Park Ju Won.)

I'm never...

(I'm never wrong.)

(Who is scouted from TEAM RHYTHM?)

Park Ju Won.

(TEAM GROOVE scouts Park Ju Won next.)

(TEAM RHYTHM's starting player, Park Ju Won, is nominated.)

No.

He's all we have.

- I told you. - Yes.

It's a shame.

My goodness. He's taking Park Ju Won?

We scouted a strong player.

I'm really worried because...

Ju Won is one of our front-runners in the starting lineup.

My conclusion was that we'd need someone...

passionate and bright.

It matched Park Jun Won the most.

So I decided to scout him.

(Director Lee Chang Sub creates the strongest team as he planned.)

James and Park Ju Won...

are traded.

(TEAM RHYTHM lost their core member.)

(Staring)

We have to pick a Korean.

Yes.

(After trading Park Ju Won,)

(TEAM RHYTHM only has foreign members left.)

(The new member, James, is also from abroad.)

Even the last Korean member...

(Who will TEAM RHYTHM choose?)

Come here.

It's okay. You'll do well.

(Ju Won has to leave his team and members.)

Don't cry.

You'll do well.

Why are you crying?

I was the first member...

TEAM RHYTHM chose.

(Park Ju Won)

(He can never forget the moment...)

(he joined TEAM RHYTHM's starting lineup.)

(The directors greeted him.)

(He became TEAM RHYTHM's first starting player...)

(he'd been dreaming of...)

(and learned from Directors TEN and YANGYANG.)

(and learned from Directors TEN and YANGYANG.)

- Thank you. - Good work.

Thank you.

- Good luck. - You have to beat us there.

- Good luck. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Nice to meet you.

- Hey. - Nice to meet you.

We're a team now.

I know.

I've always wanted to be on the same team.

Welcome...

to TEAM GROOVE.

We'll next begin second place's trade.

TEAM RHYTHM's director, please come forward.

(TEAM RHYTHM has 1 trade ticket.)

(They can only trade with TEAM BEAT.)

I'd appreciate it if you announced...

the player to be released first.

First of all, I love...

everyone on TEAM RHYTHM.

Think about shining...

in another team.

(He hopes everyone to shine in any team.)

The player to be released is...

(Who will be released from TEAM RHYTHM?)

I really wanted to avoid this moment.

Hearing my name?

I'd hate that even in my imagination.

(Who will TEAM RHYTHM's director choose?)

Jin Ziming.

(Releasing Jin Ziming in 14th place)

Jin Ziming.

Jin Ziming?

Announce the player...

to be scouted from TEAM BEAT.

TEAM BEAT.

(Who is he trading with Jin Ziming?)

I was expecting them to scout Woong Ki.

If they were to take anyone,

it'd be someone really valuable.

So I was expecting Cha Woong Ki.

(Who is TEAM RHYTHM scouting?)

From TEAM BEAT,

Kim Dong Yun.

(TEAM RHYTHM chooses Kim Dong Yun.)

(Trading with Kim Dong Yun in 2nd place)

Then...

But you just came here.

When Director TEN and I watched...

TEAM BEAT's performance,

Dong Yun stood out the most.

So we thought about...

scouting him to our team.

Welcome to TEAM RHYTHM.

(Welcome to TEAM RHYTHM.)

Do your best. Okay?

Do your best.

Okay? Anywhere you go,

- do your best. - Yes.

- Thank you. - Good luck.

(TEAM BEAT's directors root for Dong Yun.)

- Good luck. - Thank you.

- Good luck. - Thank you.

I thought if I joined TEAM RHYTHM's starting lineup,

I'd improve in no time.

Now that I'm here,

I might as well do my best.

(Park Ju Won)

(Sirin)

(Kim Dong Yun)

(James, Zen Zen)

(TEAM BEAT starting lineup)

(Jin Ziming)

Now, I will reveal Round Three's theme.

What's it going to be?

(It's here.)

Out of Universe League's five stages, PRISM,

it's S, Seven.

Seven?

Seven?

In this round, the player's position doesn't matter.

- It doesn't matter? - Sorry?

It doesn't matter?

Only the elite seven players...

can perform onstage.

(Only 7 players can go onstage?)

The three teams...

will form two units each...

and have league matches.

If a player isn't chosen...

as the seven by the directors,

he might not be able to perform onstage.

(There's no chance if not chosen.)

What now?

Then what will the rest do?

Are they going home?

Are we eliminated if we can't perform?

If a player fails to perform,

he will get zero points for the on-site voting.

- How can they do this to us? - What?

(The rule has become crueler.)

That's so mean.

In this round, as the player performs onstage,

he can receive individual on-site points.

Perform in two stages,

and both points will be added to the individual's score.

The competition within the team will finally begin.

My wish is for the director...

to use me in at least one song.

If I don't suit the performance,

I might not be able to get onstage.

I got worried.

(Smiling)

I'm not scared of anyone.

I will perform on both stages...

and earn all points.

Directors. To win Round Three,

form the strongest lineup.

(The directors must form the strongest unit to win.)

Which players will be able to perform onstage?

(Who will become the 7 elite players?)

(To choose the 7 elite players)

(A cruel decision)

(The competitiveness has made the directors more cool-headed.)

(We can't have regrets anymore.)

(Did you loosen up after winning the two trivial performances?)

(You should be ashamed.)

If you want to be greedy...

(Prove yourself if you want to perform onstage.)

(The survival match is closing in on the players.)

(This is too tough.)

(Tears roll down the players' faces as they try to survive.)

(Who will be the 7 elite players to perform onstage?)

As I'm someone with no emotions...
