(Stage Fighter)

What's going to happen today?

- What's that? - Hold on.

What's that?

It's a pyramid.

What an indisputable class system.

Being in Under Class itself is upsetting.

Can't we get rid of this whole thing?

(Should I knock it over?)

How does it feel to be in Under Class?

Why are you there, Gyeong Ho?

I took his position.

A pyramid

Do you think there will be a top class?

It'll be me.

(I don't think he's joking.)

One dancer gets to go inside the middle.

(Mega Stage Mission Casting Audition)

(The new mission after the class rearrangement begins.)

(Mega Stage Mission with 64 dancers from all genres)

(More competitive)

(More intense)

(Cheering wildly)

(Simply dancing is not enough.)

(A plan is needed for the Main Lead Role Casting Audition.)

(Who are the chosen sub lead roles...)

(by lead roles to make them shine?)

(Chattering)

(Those three are masters of sub lead roles.)

(What is the result of the Mega Stage Casting Audition?)

It's starting.

"Mega Stage Mission"?

(2nd Class Locker Room)

The mission is written over there.

"Mega Stage Mission."

The next mission is...

the Mega Stage Mission, where all 64 dancers...

work on one piece.

"Mega Stage Mission."

It'll become much more competitive.

Until now, 16 dancers fought against each other.

But 64 dancers won't be easy.

Honestly, I got excited.

"Can I let loose now?"

"You're all dead," is my mindset right now.

Of course, the Mega Stage Mission...

has a casting audition for each class's main roles.

Korean dance, contemporary dance, and ballet.

The dancers of the three genres will battle for the classes.

Korean dance will get first place.

We have different sentiments.

It's a genre that you need to be seasoned with experience.

Can the Korean dance vibe be expressed?

When three genres mix,

contemporary dance has the advantage.

Contemporary dance has a lot of moves on the floor and in the air.

Balance-wise, we're close to a hexagon.

Ballet will catch people's eyes.

I believe ballet is the hardest...

among the three genres.

You can somehow follow the dance moves...

of contemporary or Korean dance.

But it's impossible in ballet.

Dancers, please do your best.

- Now that the genres are together, - Yes?

I can't guess what it'll be.

- You're right. - Right?

Everyone will have different dance styles.

I'm scared right now.

(It's here.)

The synopsis.

(Wihonmu: Dance Consoling Death)

The choreographer is Choi Soo Jin.

It's Choi Soo Jin.

She can do both contemporary dance and ballet.

I'm having a bad feeling.

We all need to dance the ballet-based choreography.

"The one opposing death, the one fearing death,"

"and the one consoling death."

- Three dancers. - Three main lead roles.

I always want to obtain the main lead role.

As someone who had the main lead role,

the main lead role was treated amazingly.

So I want to become the main lead role again.

There was disappointment in being a sub lead role.

I must become the main lead role this time.

(Main Lead Role Casting Audition)

I have no idea what it'll be.

I'm scared.

(1st Round: Fixed Choreography Section Audition)

A sub lead role who will make you shine.

Do we have to choose three each?

(2nd Round: Interpretative Choreography Section Audition)

We need to make an interpretative choreography.

(Only dancers who pass the 1st round can participate.)

Choosing three sub lead roles means...

we need to pick among us, right?

We're First Class from each genre.

The arrangement can be very dangerous.

Rather than me shining,

the sub lead roles could shine.

Even if the lead role dances in the front,

if any of the three sub lead roles dance better...

and stand out more...

If the three sub lead roles dance better,

I might not outshine them.

I must choose those I can conquer.

Someone who won't stand out but look weak.

I want to select people who don't have the strong points I have...

for my strong points to stand out more.

From what I see, everyone in First Class is smart.

I must come up with a good plan.

(A fierce strategic battle is expected in the First Class.)

The supporting roles must also have it tough.

(Startled)

- What? Already? - What is it?

- There are six. - Six main supporting roles.

The main supporting roles...

had about five times more parts than the sub supporting roles.

Main supporting role, no matter what.

What will the audition be?

(Startled)

(Main and Sub-Genre Technique Choreography Audition)

Get into a team of two from different genres.

- Technique choreography section. - It's interpretative.

(Main and Sub-Genre Technique Choreography Audition)

After copying your partner perfectly,

the two dancers are evaluated together.

One does Section A, the other does Section B, and then it's combined.

A team of two dancers exchange choreographies.

I have to make a challenging choreography to survive...

so my partner can't copy it.

This is so cruel.

I need to make a choreography to eliminate my partner.

It won't be easy.

We're competing against a different genre.

I can't predict what techniques they will use.

Turning, jumping, and rolling. Everyone will go wild.

- Everyone here is amazing. - Right?

Ballet...

(What?)

Can you do ballet?

Can you?

(Flustered)

I got frightened.

Ballet isn't something I can just copy.

Ballerino's techniques are out of this world.

The lethal moves of ballet...

can't be mastered overnight.

Let's avoid ballet.

Ballet was my last option.

I'll use all techniques possible.

- Showing off my lines. - Keep turning.

Turning 16 times in Section A.

They think that contemporary dance...

can be done easily.

But they'll realize it through the mission.

Are jumps and floor the only techniques?

The other dancers...

can't possibly copy the challenging...

Korean dance's unique circular breathing.

I should win by adding in the peculiar taste of Korean dance.

- We have the jwawusae technique. - The jwa technique?

- The jwa technique. - The jwa technique is good.

I'll use eotmori beat.

(Even he finds it funny.)

- I'll go with dongsalpuri. - Are you? Teobeollim for me.

(What are the interpretative technique choreographies...)

(by the three genres?)

The lead roles and supporting roles would have similar auditions.

But what about the Under Class?

- Under Class doesn't have one. - They don't have one.

That was me.

(Under Class Locker Room)

(The casting board is up.)

(Mega Stage Casting Board, Ensemble)

- We're spirits. - What? We already have parts?

Do we have no roles?

We have no roles.

(The ensemble has no roles.)

We have various spirits from 1 to 40.

(Touched by the 40 options)

Forty spirits?

I had mixed feelings because I was one of the 40 spirits.

As the three genres have combined,

I expected a main group dance.

But nothing changed for the Under Class.

(Group Dance Casting Audition)

(Doubting their eyes)

- We do have something. - Is there a casting audition?

I bet there isn't one.

Really? After getting our hopes up?

(There really is one.)

It's here.

(Choreography Formation Interpretative Audition)

(Your group dance formation will be evaluated.)

We have to make a formation for the audition section.

(Choreography Formation Interpretative Audition)

"Only the cast genre group dance can get on stage with the lead roles."

- It's a battle between genres. - This is a genre fight.

We have to work as a team.

If Korean dance techniques are in the audition, you're all dead.

It's a battle between Korean dance, ballet, and contemporary dance.

It'll be fun.

- Hey, guys. - Jong In!

- Jong In! - Let's win!

We're in it, too. We should win.

Hey, we can't lose to them. Gather around.

I'll give it my everything.

With me, you can do it. I'll turn the tables around.

This is a matter of our genre's pride.

- It'll surely become bloody. - It'll be a dirty fight.

We're an ensemble, either way, so let's become the main one.

It has to be us.

The main group dance is Korean dance.

We'll be the ensemble with what we're good at.

We have Leader Choi Jong In, who led...

the group dance well in the Film Dance.

To repay their faith in me, I will do it with a sense of duty.

(The power of group dance, the united Korean dance)

It's ours, period. I got a hunch.

I'm confident in interpretative dance and formation.

They can't beat us.

(Free movements, the creative contemporary dance)

Won't there be favorable elements if we change the choreography...

by adding ballet techniques?

(Elegant yet novel, the ballet with a twist)

(Which genre will become the main ensemble?)

(Where is the sound of practice coming from?)

Let's go. We're trying again. 5, 6, 7, 8.

(The practice room with all three genre ensembles)

Turn, down.

(The Korean dance ensemble has the choreography down.)

- I made a mistake. - Let's do it in formation.

- Our moves are fast. That's it. - Dominate them with force.

It's confusing. Gosh.

We're in trouble.

I can't memorize the contemporary dance moves.

It's challenging. I can't memorize them.

As contemporary dance...

is new to ballet,

I expected us to face extreme difficulties.

How do I move my arms?

Min Kwon. I'm still in the beginning.

(I don't know, either.)

(The ballet ensemble is stuck.)

It's hard.

They're still memorizing the moves.

- We're done memorizing. - We did, too.

Ballet was moving quite slowly.

It was embarrassing. And very at that.

They must've looked down on us.

The ballet ensemble is weak.

We should keep the song playing.

I practiced countless times to get...

the choreography down.

I can do it. Let's try until the end.

We're doing great.

Why don't we beat contemporary dance first?

(The contemporary dance ensemble is practicing the formation.)

(Spreading)

Contemporary dance indeed had eye-catching moves.

Creating a unique yet charming choreography...

is contemporary dance's strong point.

I was sure the contemporary dance ensemble was getting the benefit.

(The day of the Mega Stage Casting Audition)

(Under Class Ensembles)

(Second Class Supporting Roles)

(First Class Lead Roles)

(All 64 dancers have gathered.)

(Welcome!)

(The master and coaches come in.)

I'm the Contemporary Dance Coach of Stage Fighter...

and the choreographer of the Mega Stage "Wihonmu,"

Choi Soo Jin.

(We're in your care.)

For the first time in Stage Fighter,

all 64 dancers from the 3 genres, from Korean dance...

and contemporary dance to ballet,

will work together for the Mega Stage.

And today is the role-casting audition day.

All three genres working on one piece...

- are very novel. - I was pumped up.

Our genre's pride was on the line.

We must win.

Please get the main roles...

by going beyond the limit of the genres.

I wanted to be the main lead role again.

I can become the main supporting role.

I wanted to show ballet wasn't a genre that should be looked down on.

Mega Stage Casting Audition will begin.

(Mega Stage Mission Casting Audition)

The Group Dance Casting Audition...

for the Mega Stage piece "Wihonmu" will begin first.

I wasn't anxious. I believed in our chemistry.

The main group dance is Korean dance.

I wanted to get the group dance casting.

The Korean Group Dance Casting Audition...

will begin first.

We'll show them what we've got.

We'll prove that it's ours.

- Let's go! - Good luck, Korean dance!

Come on! Show them!

(Korean dance ensemble appears.)

Choi Jong In.

Were you once again the leader?

If that's the title to be called,

I did fulfill my duty.

(How did he lead the ensemble?)

(I did some deep thinking.)

(The leader proceeds with the formation discussion.)

(Like this.)

(Choi Jong In organizes the formation as he planned.)

(Thinking)

The lead dancer is left alone.

Is there a part where we embrace the lead dancer?

(A part we embrace him?)

("Comforting embrace")

(An important evaluation point)

I thought we shouldn't leave out the "comforting embrace" part.

It wasn't suited for the concept...

of "comforting embrace."

Jong In. We should encircle the lead dancer near the end.

- It was in the instructions. - The "comforting embrace."

A semi-circle isn't bad.

This isn't what I was thinking.

Salpuri's jungjoongdong. That was what I was after.

We can't ignore the embracing part.

The ensemble is dancing right in front of the judges.

Forming a circle didn't seem...

like a good idea.

I have the most experience in choreography, after all.

I sort of ruled with an iron hand.

So, I think...

we should form two lines after this.

I thought, "Is this okay?"

I was willing to listen to Jong In,

but I wished he would listen to other teammates at the same time.

When forming such formations,

it's important to create harmony...

by accepting everyone's ideas.

- Can I give an opinion too? - Sure.

- Min Suk. - I thought about it earlier,

and we could form a circle...

with 7 people inside and 7 people outside.

I think it can make it look...

like we're being embraced.

Let's stand at our spots first.

Then, we can connect the dots. They're different parts, so...

We need to lead and move at the same time.

Let's try yours first.

The inner circle and the outer circle.

This will be the front.

(Min Suk and Seong Hyun lead the team for the new directions.)

The inner circle looks inward.

But I want you to face different sides.

(Meanwhile, Jong In seems to be in thought.)

We have too many people voicing their opinions right now,

and it's going...

the opposite direction of my intention.

I thought, "I shouldn't let them think that I was weak."

"I need to lead this team."

- But... - It's going to be dynamic too.

I'm really sorry, but I don't think we can do it this way.

(That was so sudden.)

I thought hard about it.

But I can only see your butts.

Exactly. We're in the process of making it.

The ones who step back create the outer circle, right?

Then, we can turn around.

We need to try it out to move on to the next one,

but if you keep saying no to everything,

we don't make any progress.

Let's try mine just once.

(A deep sigh)

I think we all have different opinions.

- So, let's try things out, and... - You see,

what makes me mad is...

that we're changing it without even trying it.

I hate having to listen to only one person's idea.

A circle does seem better, though.

I was certain that it was wrong.

My anger was at its climax at that moment.

I would have looked past it if it helped the performance,

but it was lowering the quality.

They were all sensitive.

There was a strange air.

There were a lot of people with different tendencies,

so I thought that we might crumble.

Why don't we listen to the music and keep going?

I need the ones in the front to get lower.

We should gather to be seen better.

(The group dancers get tired in the subtly strange air.)

Doung Woo, did anything seem weird?

The whole thing is weird.

Do you have a lot on your mind?

In the end, he's making the decisions on his own.

This is going to blow up at one point.

So frustrating.

(He behaves oddly due to frustration.)

(Hitting his head)

(Will their audition go well?)

Have you ever wondered...

if the other group dancers would find your strong energy...

too burdensome?

Have you ever thought about that?

(Exchanging looks)

(An awkward smile)

(Thinking)

I'm doing my best to embrace them...

like a next-door neighbor or an uncle.

(Holding his laughter)

(Reading the room)

(What's going on?)

Their faces tell me that he's wrong.

(He just smiles.)

Is it?

(Raising his hand)

(What is it?)

While we were preparing for the group dance with Jong In,

everyone, including me,

relied on him a lot, but...

(But?)

But when it comes to creating the choreography,

I believe that we can yield a better outcome...

if we collect everyone's opinions.

I thought, "What? That wasn't our atmosphere."

I hope that we can accept various opinions...

from everyone.

All right.

I guess something happened.

They couldn't accept everyone's opinions.

But if things work out well and the performance looks good,

things will get better.

If this performance goes well, that is.

If not,

they'll be anxious.

First position.

It's looking mysterious.

Let's go!

(Admiring)

Music, start.

(Let's check out the performance by the Korean group dancers.)

Three, two, one. Go.

They're so in sync.

(Focused)

(Perfect angles)

(Neat movements)

(Let's switch formations.)

(Cheering)

(Drawn into it)

(The second formation change)

(Staying in sync until the last moment)

(The Korean Group Dance Casting Audition ends.)

(Praising them)

I believe...

that you managed to create neat formations...

with stability and nice lines.

That was the most impressive part.

However...

(Surprised)

The stability didn't...

really add any novelty.

It's a huge bummer.

His fear got in the way of trying new things.

Copying contemporary dance.

You were supposed to show us your distinct qualities,

but you must have failed to consider that.

I think we can add a Korean dance move.

Let's sit at first.

(Frustrated)

(The judges point out the parts that Jong In overlooked.)

Jong In.

Did you have to be at the center during the group dance?

I was wondering about that.

I ended up in the middle because I was trying...

to move as little as possible.

I believe that the dancer in the center...

must be someone who can perfectly execute the movements.

That way, the whole group is energized.

But it looked like you weren't...

able to execute the dance 100 percent.

I thought, "Was I that bad?"

Thank you.

(The Korean dance ensemble didn't get such a good review.)

We mostly followed Jong In's lead,

and it felt bad to get such an evaluation.

- Good work, Jong In. - No. I'm sorry.

(Sighing)

Leading the Korean dance ensemble,

I realized some parts that needed work.

It gave me an opportunity to grind harder.

Next,

we'll watch the ballet group dance.

- Good luck. - Ballet dancers, step forward.

Let's go!

You've got this!

(Let's go, ballet.)

Who do you think was the leader...

in the stage production?

I did create the overall outline.

And the other dancers...

gave me ideas regarding the details,

which I collected and added to the performance.

That must mean that Min Chan is the ensemble leader.

Which dancer would you say...

you could rely on the most?

The ballet ensemble is one mind,

so I'm afraid I can't pick one.

Then, on the contrary,

which dancer gave you a hard time?

(Put on a spot)

(Like watching fire)

- It'd be cool if he said, "Me." - I...

wasn't good enough, so...

(Oh, he's cool.)

I'm the worst dancer here.

(That's a textbook answer.)

I can imagine that these transitions...

and this movement quality is new for ballerinas.

I just would like to understand how you navigated...

and how you worked on...

these new qualities in such a short amount of time.

Ballet is a genre that requires us...

to practice certain movements every day.

Forming the directions and formations by ourselves,

there were some hardships.

It was so hard.

I feel like we wasted too much time on the transitions.

(When they were preparing for Group Dance Casting Audition)

First off...

We're passive dancers...

who have never experienced the pain of creating.

Coming up with those transitions in such a short amount of time...

can be really challenging.

(His brain stops working.)

Would we be able to do it like contemporary and Korean dancers...

who constantly create dance moves?

I was so worried.

Who has any ideas?

- Me. - Yes.

The topic is "spirit," right?

Maybe we can express the embrace...

by starting in a circle.

- As a whole group? - Yes, in a circle.

I think we can portray the embrace.

Ha Nel was pretty good at this stuff.

- Can I say my idea too? - Yes.

To be honest, I have a desire to create.

For instance, if there are three...

I want to try this and that.

I have a lot of ideas.

We could create some height differences...

because the lead roles must also have stories of their own.

You certainly have a lot of ideas.

What do you think?

I was thankful.

That's when I came to my senses...

and decided to give it a try.

Let's raise our arms.

One, two, three. We all raise are arms,

put them down on four, and go like this.

From the top, guys.

Kyu Tae did a good job of memorizing the choreography...

and taught us.

Min Woo did such a good job as the middleman.

He gave everyone tips individually.

We were all enthusiastic.

Watching that,

I thought that we might have a shot.

One, two, three, four.

We worked so hard.

We'll show you...

a group dance that's perfectly in sync.

(Everyone's effort and passion came together...)

(to complete the ballet ensemble's formation.)

All right, then. We will now begin...

the Casting Audition of the ten ballet group dancers.

- Okay. - Be confident, guys.

- Let's go. - All right.

- Lively facial expressions, guys. - Okay.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Let's go!

(Let's go, ballet.)

(They're cute.)

First position.

(Nervous)

Music,

start.

Five, four, three,

two, one. Go.

(The ballet ensemble starts off powerfully.)

(Nodding)

(Late)

Oh, no.

(Si On is slightly off-sync.)

(They switch formations and create a circle.)

(They portray the embrace...)

(by coming together from a circle.)

(The Ballet Group Dance Casting Audition ends.)

(Applauding)

(Reading the judges' faces)

The mistake was critical.

- Too bad. - Right.

But it was quite powerful at the end there.

- They tried. - Yes.

It wasn't a neat finish.

I was relieved as ballet dancers performed.

Like, "Thanks for being worse than us."

In terms of transitions,

I'd like to compliment you for portraying...

the topic, "A comforting embrace."

However,

I think that the energy must create...

synergy in a group dance.

You must have executed the movements...

with that purpose in mind.

I'd like to ask Si On.

Are you aware that you're one step slower?

(Flustered)

(His movements have been slower than others.)

From an intuitive perspective,

it needed more work in terms of synching up.

I felt bad.

I made the whole group look like they were off-sync.

I felt bad for the team.

It felt like it came to this...

because I wasn't a good leader.

I was ashamed, embarrassed, and apologetic.

It was a shame.

I also think there's a lot of different, varied levels...

in this group of dancers.

And I think it's important that,

if we continue to work with inner styles...

in ensemble settings,

we all match the same level and quality.

(Their performance ended with room for improvement.)

Thank you for your performance.

We did our best.

Though it's disappointing, but what can we do?

We'll have to improve.

The Casting Audition...

for the contemporary dance ensemble will begin now.

Good luck!

Let's go!

Who was the leader of the contemporary ensemble?

It was me, after all.

"After all."

I wonder if you had any difficulties...

while preparing for this group dance.

There were so many different dancers.

As the saying, "Too many cooks spoil the broth,"

we lost our way for some time, so that was tough.

(There was trouble in the contemporary ensemble too?)

(How did their practice go?)

Should we start our meeting?

- Let's have a meeting! - Good.

I'm pretty confident...

in creating choreographies and stage productions.

I had a feeling that we'd advance.

I can't come up with how to start.

- I actually have an idea. - Okay.

I was thinking of a duet.

- A duet? - How would you do that?

It said, "A comforting embrace."

We can support each other like this.

I was thinking of doing that.

- Then, why don't we... - Let's start, then.

(Jin Ho thinks of the duet dance with Yo Han.)

And then...

- I'll hold the head from the right. - Okay.

- Then... - Swing it back.

And cover your eyes.

Then, I place my hand on your back...

- Here? - Then, we look at each other.

This is nice.

- Nice. - It's not bad.

Jin Ho came up with a brilliant idea,

so I accepted it and went with it.

Let's decide on the formations first.

We'll get to small details later.

We're supposed to spin, right? When we spin,

we can go like this and stop.

Then, we set a direction and go that way together.

And one, and transition.

(They swiftly move to the sides as Dong Hoon asks.)

Dong Hoon demonstrated and said,

"What do you think about this?"

We all said, "That's good," and the practice went on.

Can we try it out and scrap it if it's bad?

(What do you mean?)

After the spin, we can all walk...

like in a contemporary dance performance.

It was either moving to the sides...

all staying together as Do Hyun suggested.

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, and we arrive.

Seven, eight.

- Oh, man. - Two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

- This is a problem. - I thought, "What do we do?"

"We're going to miss the benefit at this rate."

(Making up his mind)

Do Hyun, I don't think this will work.

Can we move it to a closer spot?

What Do Hyun attempted was all nice,

but we were only given such a short time.

I didn't think it'd work.

Do Hyun, can we just move to the sides?

- Do you want that? - It takes too much time.

I knew that, but I got greedy.

We were going to be left with nothing at that rate.

I was hoping that there would be someone...

who would mediate the confusion.

That's why I had them move to the sides.

Now that we've practiced both, let's take a vote.

A vote?

Nice timing.

Who likes Do Hyun's?

One, two, three, four, five.

(Disappointed)

So, the rest of you want to go with mine?

- Let's continue, then. - Dong Hoon's transition.

Get into positions.

- Let's start practicing. - Okay.

Can we get back to this formation?

- What time is it now? - It's 4:20am.

We don't have much time.

One and two.

Find your spots.

And...

And down. And diagonal.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Go!

(Let's go, contemporary dance.)

First position.

Music, start.

(The contemporary ensemble gets into the duet formation...)

(according to the countdown.)

Three, two, one. Go.

(Perfect harmony)

(A duet performance made by Jin Ho)

Nice.

I didn't know you could perform a duet as a group.

That surprised me.

(Flawless angles)

(It's a neat transition just like Dong Hoon's idea.)

(That was fantastic.)

They're certainly different.

(Finishing with an ending that lingers in people's memories)

(The Contemporary Group Dance Casting Audition ends.)

Nice!

Even the ending!

(Cheering)

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

- Bravo! - How would we beat that?

(That was fabulous.)

- I loved the ending. - Yes, the ending.

They did such a good job with the highlights.

I can tell that they have experience in this, indeed.

You genuinely surprised me.

I did not imagine...

that you would start it with a duet performance.

(Jin Ho added a duet dance in a group dance.)

You gave me a new inspiration.

But if I'm being honest,

you weren't exactly in sync.

(Feeling bad)

The biggest weakness of contemporary dance is...

group dance in my opinion.

But because of your ideas,

transitions, and stage production,

you pulled off the topic...

of embracing and comforting someone.

The contrasting structure of up and down,

and the way you split to the sides...

and still managed to be seen with the lead role in the middle.

Then, the energy of the ensemble was condensed once again...

by coming together in the end. I loved the whole picture.

Thank you so much for the performance.

Who gave the most ideas?

Jin Ho, Dong Hoon,

and Do Hyun gave their ideas, and I only added the details.

Whose idea was disregarded, then?

(They all look at one person.)

"I..."

"I wanted to voice my opinion, but..."

My blood, sweat, and tears...

went to waste for a moment, but I believe...

they came through in the end...

and enabled me to give the best performance.

I believe it worked out for the better.

(That was a great ending.)

(You're my best bro.)

It's lovely to see you admit to your fault.

(Upset)

We all worked hard. We did so well.

We were motivated even more.

(A short break before the result announcement)

We can use this chance...

to mentally arm ourselves.

We'll look at it in a positive light.

It feels like we're in denial to expect a good outcome now.

Let's just humbly accept the result.

Everyone but Si On did well.

(Hurt)

(The princes are harmonious, even in the time of ordeal.)

We will now announce the result of the Group Dance Casting Audition.

We believe that we gave everything we had to offer,

so I don't regret it.

I was slightly anxious...

but confident as well.

It's not over until it's over.

(Patting him)

I will announce the ensemble...

to present its stage directions in the Mega Stage Mission.

(The ballet ensemble was slightly off-sync.)

(Oh, no.)

(And a critical mistake)

(The Korean ensemble had a conflict of opinions.)

(But they got a favorable comment for their neat transitions.)

(The contemporary ensemble gave a novel performance...)

(and fancy transitions.)

(They're certainly different.)

(Even the dancers of other genres had to acknowledge it.)

I will now announce...

the result of the Group Dance Casting Audition.

(Nervous)

Among ballet, contemporary dance,

and Korean dance,

(Which genre will get chosen in the Group Dance Casting Audition?)

we'll choose the contemporary group dance.

(The contemporary group dance got chosen.)

(Well done.)

We did it.

(Genuinely happy)

(Moved)

I can't believe I got the benefit.

Nervousness left my body. I thought, "I did it."

- Well done. - Yes.

There's a reason why we chose the contemporary group dance.

For the concept of comforting embrace,

they showed variations of diverse ideas.

The team did the best of expressing the concept.

All three genres were great.

But the contemporary dancers seemed to be the most aware...

of the center of the group dance,

when the group should stand out, and when the group should fade.

So I thought...

the contemporary group dance was the best.

Thank you so much for your effort. Well done.

(Well done.)

(Contemporary group dancers acquire the benefit.)

(Main Supporting Role Casting Audition begins.)

(The dancers need to pull off techniques of other genres.)

(They're exchanging attacks.)

(It's Korean dance versus ballet.)

(He's waiting to shove a knife in someone's back.)

(And the long-waited Main Lead Role Casting Audition)

(Be careful not to get eaten up.)

(The dancers' pride is on the line, so the fight becomes fiercer.)

(What will be the result of the 64 dancers' Mega Stage?)

(The night of the Casting Audition deepens.)

(Main Supporting Role Casting Audition continues.)

(Second Class, let's go.)

For the Main Supporting Role Casting Audition,

everyone will be judged by the Technique Choreography.

Technique Choreography?

This audition will be intense.

For this audition, two dancers of different genres...

will make a team.

(The choreography is divided into Section A and Section B.)

(A bit worried)

You'll take Section B, and I'll take Section A.

- A, B. - Yes.

You must copy...

each other's Technique Choreography.

The two dancers will be judged at once.

We're bound to get compared, so I need to do well.

How well you pull off...

the techniques of both genres...

will be the most important part of the judgment.

Judging by the mission, Second Class has it the hardest.

- I can't wait to see it. - It'll be fun.

- The main roles will be divided. - How many people?

(Mega Stage Casting Board, Supporting Roles)

Six.

Two from each genre?

One genre might dominate.

Will it be okay if we dominate?

Will you be able to do ballet?

The ballet techniques are impossible to copy.

Ballet isn't a genre you can copy in a day or two.

Many techniques involve jumping up in the air.

If I do ballet, I might make a fool out of myself.

It might be a public execution.

- Please don't let it be ballet. - Anything but ballet.

I don't think I can do apjipgi.

I want to avoid Korean dance...

because it'll be hard to copy the depth and movements.

I think I'll be able to copy the contemporary dance.

It'll be much easier than ballet.

Go ahead and try.

See if it's hard or easy.

Even within the Second Class,

there'll be a rivalry between the genres.

(Main Supporting Role Casting Audition, Group 1)

(Kim Tae Seok)

(It's ballet from the start!)

(It's me.)

How will I do ballet?

I really don't want to do ballet.

They know by looking at my past experience...

that I'm not an easy target.

I must be a scary dancer they're wary of.

(Yang Seong Yun)

(It's a match between Kim Tae Seok and Yang Seong Yun.)

(Will it be okay?)

- Gosh. - Will you be okay with ballet?

(Lifting)

Your pointe is great. I'm in trouble.

To be honest, I was happy since I loved ballet.

(He thinks it's a good match.)

I'll add ten forward rolls.

I'll add all the techniques.

(I refuse to lose.)

(Kim Si Won)

My goodness.

- Hold on. - Cool Kim.

He's a talented dancer who is full of passion.

I think it'll be ballet.

I think it'll be Jang June Hyuk or Kim Young Woong.

(Jung Hye Seong)

(Totally startled)

- It was unexpected. - That's intense.

Si Won and Hye Seong...

always show a confident attitude.

Si Won is someone who competes with passion.

Don't you think their match will be cutthroat?

Do well.

(Ki Moo Gan)

(It's a big match.)

Who will it be?

- The one who was the main lead? - That'll be interesting.

I have a hunch.

- If it's Gyeong Ho... - It'll be unsurprising.

(Will the main leads contend against each other?)

They wouldn't go with such an obvious choice.

(Kim Young Woong)

- What? - That's a strong one.

Young Woong and Moo Gan have a strong image.

They'll smell like strong men.

What kind of a dancer is he? I'm curious.

He was impactful.

He seemed like a strong dancer.

I wondered if I should be wary.

He seemed to be very charismatic and expressive.

I was both confident and nervous.

(The remaining dancers wait with bated breath.)

I think two teams remain.

Will it be Gyeong Ho or Hye Hyun?

A talented ballerino who was in the First Class.

My goodness. Did someone get 20 out of 20 points?

I didn't want to contend against a ballerino.

I'll add ciseaux and other techniques.

(Kang Gyeong Ho versus Kim Kyu Nyeon)

(One stays calm while the other becomes devastated.)

Come on. Let's show everyone.

He's a talented dancer.

Gosh, I'm in trouble.

The Korean dance techniques make my heart heavy.

I know that they'll be hard. I'll grit my teeth and do them.

(List of matches for the Main Supporting Role Casting Audition)

(The supporting dancers begin to choreograph.)

I thought, "Let's do my best."

I'll get a main supporting role no matter what.

(Staring)

It looked like Kyung Won would make...

a choreography that looks simple, but is actually impossible to copy.

I added the basic moves...

and the techniques dancers of other genres couldn't do.

- My goodness. - Gosh.

He's good.

That was my strategy for victory.

- Yours will be impossible to copy. - Seriously.

It'll be impossible.

It was a competition, right?

Let's go down together.

He can do whatever he wants. I'll add all the techniques.

He's excited. Sang Gil is excited.

(The dancers are working hard in another practice room.)

Gyeong Ho's choreography won't be easy.

You should go easy on me.

I'm ruined.

- Gosh. - Gosh, I'm ruined.

Will I be able to do that?

How am I supposed to do that? I can't even do the pointe.

Ballet dancers might feel awkward on the floor,

so I focused...

on the floor movements.

Since ballet is a dance you do while standing up,

ballet dancers are really bad at the floor movements.

I was very worried.

I thought about how to bring out the sense of rhythm.

I thought, "Let's add one impactful technique."

It'll be like a killer move.

(Kim Young Woong is absorbed in the Technique Choreography.)

My part is a continuation of three techniques.

My goodness.

Good luck.

I've practiced these techniques every day for six years.

I have confidence when it comes to the quality.

(Which dancers will take the main supporting roles?)

Group One's Kim Si Won of Korean dance...

and Jung Hye Seong of contemporary dance,

please come on out.

(Expectant)

Let's go.

This match will be fun since both of them are good.

This match will be fierce.

Please tell us which section you choreographed...

for the other to copy.

Which section do you want?

I think Section A will be better.

When I heard the music,

one movement came to my mind.

So I decided to start off with that movement.

(What's the starting movement Si Won thought of right away?)

(Whistling)

(Is he whistling?)

This is wihonmu.

You need to call the spirit in order to console it.

There was a lore about how whistling brings ghosts,

so I decided to begin with a whistle sound.

I became absorbed in the choreography,

so I added the techniques...

my rival could pull off.

(Meanwhile, Jung Hye Seong)

I added the techniques that required flexibility...

in order to torment my rival.

This is a survival show.

(Dancing lightly)

(Jung Hye Seong didn't show the techniques during practice.)

Since we were practicing in the same room,

I thought that he might see and copy my choreography.

So I didn't show everything as a strategy.

This is a survival show.

(The main supporting candidates gather around...)

(to reveal the Technique Choreography.)

Let's begin with Section A.

(Kim Si Won's Technique Choreography for Section A)

(Whistling)

(Turning)

(Focused)

(He wraps up with a technique.)

(He did well.)

It felt like he was being too considerate of me...

because there wasn't much.

He only added one technique toward the end.

(He copies it perfectly.)

(Jung Hye Seong copies Kim Si Won's technique right away.)

(He's good.)

He copied it right away.

Let's go.

Should I have made it harder?

(Jung Hye Seong's Technique Choreography for Section B)

(Laser-focused)

(Stretching)

(Laughing)

(Jung Hye Seong's choreography contains difficult techniques.)

He made a choreography I couldn't copy.

The first technique was gumbi.

It's a technique only acrobats can pull off.

And he wrapped up by twisting his back...

and lifting a leg like a scorpion.

I wasn't sure if I could do that.

Do I do it like this?

- Yes. - Like this?

- Yes. - Gosh, it hurts so much.

The muscles I use to lift the butt must be weak.

The movement required a lot of flexibility,

so I got a muscle cramp.

There was a dance move that looked like a scorpion.

- Move it to the side. - Like this?

This foot needs to carry the weight.

Open the pelvis.

How? Like this?

It wasn't easy.

But I practiced diligently to better my chance of winning...

by copying the choreography no matter what.

We will now begin the Main Supporting Role Casting Audition...

for Group One.

This match will be fierce.

I think they'll do well.

I can't wait.

I'll get a main supporting role no matter what.

I'll be a main supporting dancer no matter what.

First position.

Music, start.

Three, two,

- one. Go. - It's so cool.

(Technique Choreography Section A)

They're good.

(Watching carefully)

He's copying it well.

What's up with the rhythm?

He's copying it so well.

(Technique Choreography Section B)

(This is interesting.)

(The scorpion ending)

(A round of applause)

(Kim Si Won versus Jung Hye Seong, the Casting Audition ends.)

- It's hard to predict the result. - It was insane.

It was insane.

(His foot goes up in the air.)

(Clapping)

Hye Seong did infinitely better.

Si Won wasn't half bad.

Both of them might get picked.

We'll announce the casting result...

for Kim Si Won and Jung Hye Seong.

First, we'll announce the result...

for Jung Hye Seong.

Give me a main supporting role or death.

Contemporary Dancer Jung Hye Seong...

for a main supporting role.

You've been cast.

(Jung Hye Seong gets cast for a main supporting role.)

(Bowing)

- Nice. - Nice.

I did it. I was happy.

So that I don't do the mission a disservice,

I'll do my absolute best.

Now, we'll announce the result...

for Kim Si Won.

Will both of them get cast?

Si Won fully copied the choreography too.

Will both of us become a main supporting dancers?

Dancer Kim Si Won...

for a main supporting role.

(What will be the result for Kim Si Won?)

You haven't been cast.

(Kim Si Won fails to become a main supporting dancer.)

I think Kim Si Won wasn't clever when he came up...

with the choreography for Section A.

In my opinion, Jung Hye Seong copied it nearly perfectly.

It wasn't difficult to copy.

There weren't any hard techniques.

On the other hand, Jung Hye Seong added the moves...

which required flexibility...

and Kim Si Won couldn't execute them well.

As for the very last pose in particular,

Jung Hye Seong lifted up his head completely...

and spread his arms when he put one leg up.

But Kim Si Won...

couldn't execute it well.

If you look closely, there is clear quality difference.

Copying the choreography well is really important.

Dancers, thank you for your hard work.

Had I added the Korean dance techniques,

he wouldn't have been able to copy them.

I had a strong realization that I didn't need to be...

too considerate.

We'll proceed with the next Main Supporting Role Casting Audition.

It's that group.

(Here they come.)

- Here come the big shots. - How scary.

It's a group from the netherworld.

Kim Young Woong of contemporary dance...

versus Ki Moo Gan of Korean dance.

Both of them have charismatic looks.

They have an evil vibe.

It became chilly in here.

- I bet Young Woong will do well. - He's good.

I saw how he did at a competition. It was insane.

He keeps competing even after he wins gold.

It's hard to beat someone who won at a competition.

Moo Gan doesn't use many techniques.

But he was born with insane talent.

For the technique he was confident in,

Ki Moo Gan wrote, "The fish."

Kim Young Woong wrote...

His technique is a bit stronger.

"The modified fish with a jump."

(Embarrassed)

It's the upgraded fish.

He'll dive.

He'll dive into the water.

It'll be regular fish versus live fish.

Did both of you add the fish to the choreography?

Yes.

There's a jump Young Woong swears by.

He used the modified fish,

but I'll show that it's just the fish.

Moo Gan...

will force a contemporary dancer to do the floor techniques.

Between the two, who will become the king of fish...

and earn the title of the carp king?

It won't be easy.

(He warms up in an unusual way.)

Young Woong's choreography is insane.

It's very intense.

His eyes tell us that it'll be the netherworld.

I combined the three techniques...

I used the most at a competition.

It'll be scary.

(Kim Young Woong's Technique Choreography for Section A)

(Watching)

I think he'll find it hard.

My killer move is the fish.

(This is how you do the fish.)

I followed up with a back roll to handstand.

(That's insane.)

- Come on. - Let's go.

- How will he copy that? - That was insane.

I used all of my killer moves.

He showed no mercy.

I'm glad he isn't my rival.

- He goes high up in the air. - I know.

He almost levitates.

(Chuckling)

What do you want me to do?

(Good luck.)

I'll give it a go.

I was worried about his killer moves.

But my movements require...

the right texture.

It'll take time to pull them off.

Moo Gan, let's go.

King's techniques.

(Ki Moo Gan's Technique Choreography for Section B)

(The charisma of the king)

(Watching like a hawk)

- It's different. - It's charming, right?

(Impressed)

What's up with the rhythm?

I added an impactful technique, go down, at the end.

- Bravo. - He's cool.

Moo Gan needs to do his thing.

I thought it was cool.

I also thought that I could copy it well...

with enough practice.

It'll be great to perform together.

After that choreography?

- You punk. - There was no consideration.

(He attempts Kim Young Woong's fish.)

(My goodness)

The way he went up in the air told me...

that he had years of experience.

His pelvis was above the head.

It was like falling.

"Should I go with his vibe?"

"I think it'll be better to do it in my own style."

I thought about that a lot.

Young Woong's choreography...

I can't get the same height.

I'm going to slip like this.

(This is Moo Gan's fish.)

It's neater.

I jump high,

so I have confidence when it comes to quality.

Now, the Casting Audition will begin.

First position.

Music, start.

Go.

(Technique Choreography Section A)

Look at his facial expression.

They have different vibes.

I think my fish catches the eyes because of the height.

(The height is insane.)

Let's do it with confidence.

(I can't choose one.)

(Did you see that?)

(To be continued)

Now, the Casting Audition will begin.

First position.

Music, start.

Go.

(Technique Choreography Section A)

Look at his facial expression.

They have different vibes.

(Young Woong, a live fish)

(It was electrifying.)

(Moo Gan showed a textbook example of the fish.)

(Cheering)

This is Moo Gan's choreography.

(Technique Choreography Section B)

How is it so cool?

Young Woong looks angry.

It's insane.

(Their dopamine level is...)

(at its max.)

(100 percent focused)

(Technique Choreography Section B)

Both of them literally throw their bodies.

(Kim Young Woong versus Ki Moo Gan Casting Audition ends.)

It's very difficult.

It's hard to tell. Both of them did well.

They looked like live fish.

I'd have been in trouble if I had joined Second Class.

He was up incredibly high.

He dropped from his chest.

I can't believe that Moo Gan can do the fish.

Ironically,

Ki Moo Gan danced Section A...

more charmingly than Kim Young Woong.

I felt that Kim Young Woong danced...

Section B much better.

They must be compatible.

Young Woong is good at Korean dance.

- I think... - What did you think?

I'm sure of it.

(They cast the two dancers after some hard thinking.)

I will announce...

the casting result for Kim Young Woong and Ki Moo Gan.

Will both of them make it?

I think they'll both make it.

First, I'll announce the result for Kim Young Woong.

Contemporary Dancer Kim Young Woong for the main supporting role.

You've been cast.

Thank you.

Kim Young Woong did the particular hand movements...

in Korean dance very well.

That's what caught my attention.

You showed us good technique...

as well as your powerful energy.

I was so happy. I felt proud of myself.

Next, I'll announce the result for Ki Moo Gan.

Korean Dancer Ki Moo Gan for the main supporting role.

(Jung Bo Kyung)

- He's worth it. - "You've been cast?"

"You've been cast."

You have not been cast.

What?

- This is... - This is a lie.

Moo Gan did the contemporary dance in his own style, but...

It was lacking.

It's a right of technique.

Technique seems more important than the quality of dance.

It seems more important.

I felt that I didn't show as much as I prepared,

so it was disappointing.

(It was disappointing.)

Next is Main Supporting Role Casting Audition for Group Three.

Ballerino Kim Kyung Won.

Korean Dancer Kim Sang Gil, please come out.

- All right. - Yes!

Let's go.

It's Korean Dancer versus ballet.

What will it be like? This is fascinating.

I feel intense competition between them.

They have a different vibe from others.

I heard that there was a war between them.

- Wasn't it a war? - Yes.

Everyone knows about it.

(While creating Technique Choreography)

At first, I wasn't thinking about adding difficult technique.

I tried my best to include movements...

that he could fake.

However...

(Kim Sang Gil who's busy choreographing)

(Flipping)

(Kim Sang Gil adds a back handspring in his choreography.)

(Forcing a laugh)

He did a back handspring.

You have to make it so that the other can't do it.

I should make it difficult.

Really? Then bring it on.

(Demonstrating tour en l'air)

(Kim Kyung Won takes on with ballet jump technique.)

That's crazy. I'm in trouble.

Then let's die together.

(1 back handspring)

(2 back handsprings)

(He does back handsprings in a row.)

Sang Gil, let's take it as far as we can.

(Raging)

(I'll also add ciseaux.)

(Kim Kyung Won adds his secret weapon technique...)

(that he's confident about.)

(Forcing a laugh)

(Dropping to the floor)

What? He's in the air.

(Adding tour en l'air)

Do whatever you want.

I'll add all my possible technique moves.

(Their Technique Choreography is revealed.)

(Kim Kyung Won shows his Section A Technique Choreography.)

That's so harsh.

(Light)

(Shock and fear)

(Kim Kyung Won finishes showing his Technique Choreography.)

(Unbelievable, clapping)

He was flying. He was staying in the air,

and I couldn't copy that.

I was quite worried.

(Kim Sang Gil's Section B Technique Choreography is revealed.)

(I won't be defeated.)

It won't be easy.

(Ending with a back flip)

(Laughing)

That movement seemed to require a very advanced technique.

I thought that it will be very difficult.

I know what I did, but yours isn't any better.

You're so harsh.

Neither of them will be able to handle it.

(The two dancers start to practice.)

After this, the leg comes this way.

The leg comes in, and then...

Okay.

I got the gist of it.

Sang Gil, watch me do it.

Okay.

(Swinging)

(Swinging)

(Sliding)

(Watch me slip.)

(Okay, I saw it.)

(A huge failure)

(Gosh, I can't do it.)

I thought that it won't be easy.

There is no compromise.

I really can't wait to see this.

It will be so much fun.

First position.

Music, start.

(Everyone is looking forward to it. Who will be the winner?)

(Ballerino Kim Kyung Won, Technique Choreography Section A)

(From the start, Sang Gil missed the beat and the movement.)

Goodness.

(Feeling sorry)

(Soon, ciseaux, an advanced ballet move is coming up.)

(Ballerino Kim Kyung Won, Technique Choreography Section A)

He did a knee kick instead.

(Ballerino Kim Kyung Won, Technique Choreography Section A)

(Thinking)

(Korean Dancer Kim Sang Gil, Technique Choreography Section B)

This is impossible.

(Korean Dancer Kim Sang Gil, Technique Choreography Section B)

(Their movements are starting to differ.)

(Kim Kyung Won versus Kim Sang Gil Casting Audition ends.)

(Both of them worked hard.)

(Clapping of encouragement)

(Exclaiming)

(Clapping)

(It's a bummer.)

(The looks on the coaches' faces are hard to tell.)

They tried to make it.

They did their best.

The techniques you used to destroy...

yourself and the other paid off.

Kim Sang Gil couldn't do the ciseaux at all.

Kim Kyung Won couldn't do the back handspring at all either.

Both of you included techniques that are so difficult...

that I felt bad for you. It was disappointing.

(Kyung Won and Sang Gil received disappointed feedback.)

I will announce it right away.

None of you have been cast.

Good work.

(Kim Kyung Won and Kim Sang Gil failed to be cast.)

I couldn't do the choreography,

so I expected such a result.

I'm sorry, Kyung Won. I really am.

Next is Group Five, Ballerino Kang Yun Gu...

and Contemporary Dancer Jang June Hyuk.

He's wearing ballet shoes.

He's wearing ballet shoes.

Did he bring ballet shoes with him?

Is June Hyuk also wearing a dance belt?

(Getting a head start)

- Goodness. - Gosh.

He might walk on top of his feet.

Why does he look ill?

Doesn't Yun Gu seem sick?

He doesn't seem to have energy.

Dancer Kang Yun Gu.

Yes.

How are you feeling?

This morning,

while coming up with the choreography,

I injured myself.

(Worried)

Oh, no.

I won't be able to dance for this mission today,

so I'd like to apologize.

- Goodness. - It's okay.

(It's okay.)

He should take care of himself.

Yun Gu must be bummed out.

This part is reckless.

- I can't wait to see June Hyuk. - I'm curious.

His shoulders look incredible.

That's his technique.

Deltoids technique.

I thought that...

the floor technique would be unfamiliar to ballet dancers.

(Jang June Hyuk demonstrates his Section B Technique Choreography.)

(Watching carefully and focused)

He won't be able to do the rainbow...

from the floor perfectly.

(From the start to finish, Jang June Hyuk mostly included...)

(the floor technique in his choreography.)

He even added a lingering movement.

Bravo.

He used the music until the end.

He divided into the smallest units.

(Kang Yun Gu reveals his Technique Choreography.)

It's a fight between the sky and the ground.

I'm so glad that my opponent isn't a ballerino.

Ballet dancers look amazing when they're standing.

(Observing him closely)

(Kang Yun Gu shows Section A Technique Choreography.)

(Turning in the air with one foot on the knee)

- As expected, ballet is... - It looks amazing.

(Nervous)

(It's followed by pirouettes.)

(Losing his balance)

(Kang Yun Gu keeps making mistakes during his demonstration.)

- He's late on the music. - That's a bummer.

(That's odd.)

(Kang Yun Gu and Jang June Hyuk)

(They finish showing their Technique Choreography.)

The pain got so severe that my mind went blank.

While coming up with the choreography,

I must have done something wrong with my body.

There was a severe pain from the back to the ribs.

I said that I'll just do it,

but they told me to go to the hospital.

You should go, but...

(Yun Gu stopped practicing and went to the hospital.)

(Jang June Hyuk had to practice the ballet technique alone.)

I wasn't confident about ballet, and I had to practice it alone.

Will I be able to do it?

I thought that I was in trouble.

I got the flow,

but it's hard to make it look clean.

I was worried about everything.

My fingers and toes. Even the arms...

looked awkward.

Whenever the arms are straight, make them look long.

- It shouldn't twist like this. - I see.

Imagine your shoulders are part of your arms.

- The shoulders? - Yes.

I analyzed it a lot...

to find out how to make it better.

I wanted to perform it well.

June Hyuk has his ballet shoes on.

- He's trying. - Yes. It's the pirouette, maybe.

His opponent, Jang June Hyuk,

you have to dance both Section A and B alone.

I'll do it with force and confidence.

- Gosh. - That's amazing.

This is contemporary. Yes.

Shoe June Hyuk, you're beautiful.

(He notices something.)

- He's posing for ballet. - It looks like ballet.

- Section A must be ballet. - He should do it with force.

(How will Jang June Hyuk's Casting Audition turn out?)

I have to fight alone from now on.

Let's just enjoy it.

(Ballet Kang Yun Gu Technique Choreography Section A)

It's tour en l'air right away.

(Shouting violently)

(Ballet Kang Yun Gu Technique Choreography Section A)

- Gosh. - He's full of energy.

He's smiling.

(Smiling)

(After attitude pirouette as a transition)

(Ballet Kang Yun Gu Technique Choreography Section A)

(Covering their mouths)

(Powerful pirouette)

Now is his choreography.

The difference is clear.

The moment of his main dance genre.

(Contemporary Dancer Jang June Hyuk Technique Choreography Section B)

(Spectacular)

- Gosh. - Hey.

(Contemporary Dancer Jang June Hyuk Technique Choreography Section B)

(Jang June Hyuk's Casting Audition ends.)

He did well.

Good job. All alone.

Good work.

He must have felt a lot of pressure.

I had to cheer for him.

He did a good job on his own.

He showed as much as he prepared.

By the way...

(Nervous)

Smiling must be important in ballet.

(The prince mode on)

- Ballet is about smiling. - Smiling technique.

I wasn't so confident...

about my body lines in ballet.

I tried my best to attract your attention on my face.

It was successful. You smiled so much.

Thank you.

His ballet technique was weak, wasn't it?

His ballet technique wasn't precise at all.

Yes, his ballet was atrocious.

However, I liked his force.

After watching your performance,

I became aware...

of this show's purpose once again.

Without your opponent,

it didn't seem like you were competing.

During Section A,

you were marking the choreography roughly...

like you were warming up.

When you were dancing Section B,

you seemed determined to make it.

It's probably because there was no opponent.

Yes.

Yun Gu encouraged me a lot,

and he coached me too. I'm grateful to him.

- Can I dance with confidence? - Of course.

Without adding unnecessary moves, try to lose tension.

You should do it with confidence.

I'm not just saying this.

(Kang Yun Gu encouraged June Hyuk endlessly.)

You must feel uncomfortable.

I feel really sorry.

I'll announce the result for Jang June Hyuk.

Contemporary Dancer Jang June Hyuk as the main supporting role.

(He danced without his opponent. What will be the result?)

You have not been cast.

(Jang June Hyuk fails to be cast.)

Good job.

- You did well. - That's a bummer.

Getting the main supporting role seems harder.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

Next is Group Eight,

Korean Dancer Park Jun Woo...

and Contemporary Dancer Kim Hye Hyun, please come out.

Jun Woo, smash it.

- Smash it. - The African prince is here.

Isn't his technique amazing too?

As a contemporary dancer with that body, he can do any technique.

Dancers, could you tell us...

what kind of technique you included?

In order to defeat an all-round...

contemporary dancer with a perfect physical score,

I thought that I needed hand and feet movement...

that are particular to Korean dance.

- That's what I included. - Good job.

- He's such a bully. - Do you mean Jun Woo?

How will he pull this off?

(What kind of Technique Choreography did they create?)

You'll be able to do this. You have to spin fast.

(Spinning attack)

Okay.

(Kim Hye Hyun copies his technique as soon as he sees it.)

I think I can do it.

(Kim Hye Hyun continues to show exceptional technique skills.)

Hye Hyun is a great dancer.

I was scared.

I don't think that I had to be considerate.

(Park Jun Woo choreographs with Korean movements.)

Gosh, Hye Hyun is in trouble.

You're determined to make Hye Hyun a Korean dancer.

You're determined to make Hye Hyun a Korean dancer.

Right.

(Inhaling)

In order to win,

I had to include the style particular to Korean dance.

That's how I will win.

Standby.

(Focused)

(Stepping lightly)

Let's go.

(Making a face)

(Ending with jaban that they agreed on)

He made a traditional Korean dance.

Will I be able to do...

Korean dance arm movements and steps?

I was a little worried.

- This will be hard. - This is difficult.

- Having that rhythm is difficult. - It's really hard.

- You can't do it so quickly. - Right.

(Kim Hye Hyun's choreography starts with jaban.)

(Surprised)

(Nervous)

(Ending with technique)

(Hye Hyun's choreography is made with personality and technique.)

In my opinion, Hye Hyun was being considerate of him.

It's easy.

(Flustered)

I didn't think that it was particularly difficult.

He added a back handspring,

and I thought that it was doable.

(After revealing their choreography)

I should ask people to teach me Korean dance.

In Korean dance, you have to use your wrists well.

Half of Korean dance is arm sawi.

(Kim Hye Hyun returns to the practice room.)

(He starts practicing the arm sawi.)

(Korean dance is about arm sawi.)

(Training himself seriously)

- What are you doing? - I'll keeping practicing this.

Intense practicing.

Is this right?

Relax this part.

Instead of using the entire arm, use the wrist.

Think of rolling the wrist.

(He feels his wrist with his eyes closed.)

It's so difficult.

You must go down at this beat. Deo dung.

- It's so hard. - Twist with the head straight.

This is it.

I practiced the Korean dance arm movements a lot.

I tried hard to move...

like a Korean dancer.

(After some intense training, he takes a break.)

(Automatic reflex at the sound of music)

(What will be the result for Kim Hye Hyun's Casting Audition?)

Dancer Kim Hye Hyun.

Have you done Korean dance before?

Once a week during high school...

for an hour and a half.

(He's so funny.)

A minor at the arts high school.

- An hour and a half is a must. - He's so cute.

(The contemporary dancers find him adorable.)

Group Eight's Main Supporting Role...

Casting Audition will start.

First position.

I will get the main role no matter what.

If I do a good job on Section A,

I'll definitely get the main supporting role.

- Music, start. - Go.

(Korean Dancer Park Jun Woo Technique Choreography Section A)

- He's good. - That looks good.

(Korean Dancer Park Jun Woo Technique Choreography Section A)

He's got the right rhythm.

(Korean Dancer Park Jun Woo Technique Choreography Section A)

He's good.

(Korean Dancer Park Jun Woo Technique Choreography Section A)

- Gosh. - All right!

He did it.

(Korean Dancer Park Jun Woo Technique Choreography Section A)

He's following him well.

Jun Woo's lethal move.

(Jun Woo loses his balance and doesn't get up in time.)

- What? - Hye Hyun waited for him.

(Korean Dancer Park Jun Woo Technique Choreography Section A)

(Hye Hyun waits for Jung Woo and dances in sync.)

(That's Hye Hyun.)

(Korean Dancer Park Jun Woo Technique Choreography Section A)

(Light)

(Shocked)

His jaban is perfect.

(Kim Hye Hyun's Section B starts right after jaban.)

(How will Jun Woo dance Section B?)

(Contemporary Dancer Kim Hye Hyun Technique Choreography Section B)

(Contemporary Dancer Kim Hye Hyun Technique Choreography Section B)

Nice.

Hye Hyun is good.

Why is he also good at Korean dance?

He jumps really high.

(Squeaking)

How do they do that?

- You do this. - And push.

Goodness.

I can't do it.

Hye Hyun didn't add anything really difficult.

He didn't include the Aoya. He always does that.

Dancer Kim Hye Hyun, you must have practiced Korean dance...

very hard once a week in high school.

Yes, I worked hard.

The turning of your hand was beautiful.

(Embarrassed)

(Kim Hye Hyun's turning of the hand was as good as a Korean dancer.)

Turning.

He's better than me.

During Section A, I noticed...

Kim Hye Hyun much more than Park Jun Woo.

I think that your tactics failed.

I failed to differentiate myself with my own weapons.

It was very damaging.

In my opinion,

Dancer Kim Hye Hyun danced the choreography...

like it was his own from Section A to B.

While dancing his opponent's section,

he waited for Park Jun Woo...

before moving onto the next move.

I felt that Hye Hyun was more comfortable with the choreography.

I will announce the result.

Contemporary Dancer Kim Hye Hyun...

for the main supporting role.

"You've been cast."

You've been cast.

(Dancer Kim Hye Hyun is cast for the main supporting role.)

It was very worthwhile.

(Laughing)

Next, Korean Dancer...

Park Jun Woo...

I hope that he'll get it.

The ball was in his court in the beginning.

For the main supporting role.

You have not been cast.

(Dancer Park Jun Woo fails to be cast.)

It was me who didn't do a good job,

so I was very angry at myself.

I was really disappointed.

We'll continue with the Main Supporting Role Casting Audition.

Ballerino Kim Tae Seok.

(Ballerino Kim Tae Seok)

Contemporary Dancer Yang Seong Yun.

(All right!)

(Contemporary dancers' cheering with enthusiasm)

You can do it.

Uhm Tae Goo in contemporary dance.

He's Karina.

He's the ensemble's Karina.

- Good luck, Newlywed. - You can do it, Newlywed.

Go, Sold Out Man.

- Ballet technique is too hard. - Right.

If I had to do ballet, I couldn't have done it.

(Everyone wanted to avoid competing against a ballet dancer.)

(Really?)

To be honest, I was glad that it was ballet.

I prefer ballet to Korean dance.

- That was good. - Really?

(Spinning)

(Kim Tae Seok warms up before revealing his choreography.)

(In awe)

(Way to go, ballet.)

(But I can do it, too.)

(Look at him.)

He doesn't get discouraged.

It's a tug of war.

- It's fun already. - He's good.

Since it's ballet, it will be a good opportunity.

I wasn't particularly worried.

(Yang Seong Yun and Kim Tae Seok reveal Technique Choreography.)

(Starting with Yang Seong Yun's Technique Choreography Section A)

He had powerful energy.

(His choreography has powerful movements in a row.)

(Ending with his hair display)

(He clears his hair in a hurry.)

- His hair made it good. - It's better with his hair down.

(The impact of long hair)

Other than his long hair,

I thought that I had a good chance.

(Followed by Kim Tae Seok's Technique Choreography Section B)

(Up)

(Overpowering him with a jump from the start)

How will he do that?

(While doing a pirouette, he loses his balance.)

(Kim Tae Seok grabs his ankle and can't get up.)

Are you okay?

I think that he really fell.

(What's going on?)

- Isn't it swollen? - It looks very swollen.

It's so swollen.

I felt a sudden pain.

Will I be able to overcome it?

The worry swept over me,

so I felt extremely angry.

(After revealing Technique Choreography)

(The pain in his ankle continues.)

However, I didn't want to give up.

(Limping)

Instead of worrying about tomorrow,

I wanted to move even for 30 seconds...

if possible.

(Kim Tae Seok resumes practicing with his injured ankle.)

(Kim Tae Seok is onstage without giving up.)

Will you be able to audition?

Actually, my ankle isn't doing well.

However, I have my right leg.

You're amazing.

- You're amazing. - You can do it.

(Encouraging applause)

(I can do it!)

First position.

Music, start.

(Kim Tae Seok versus Yang Seong Yun, how will their audition go?)

Go.

(Contemporary Dancer Yang Seong Yun Technique Choreography Section A)

He looks like a wild animal.

(The power of a wild animal)

Gosh, he's good.

They look exactly the same.

(The dancers move exactly the same.)

Look at Seong Yun's strength.

That's crazy.

(Agile)

(Exclaiming)

(Due to his ankle injury, Kim Tae Seok modified the move.)

That's too hard.

(Thinking)

(Ballet Kim Tae Seok Technique Choreography Section B)

Ballet.

You can do it, Tae Seok.

Ballet.

He's really good.

(Eyes widening)

(Yang Seong Yun shows powerful pirouettes.)

(Explosive cheering)

Let's go.

(Their neck and neck battle of turns)

(The ending pose)

Goodness.

(He gets right back up after falling at the end.)

(Good, that looked natural.)

(Pleasure)

(That was good.)

(Standing ovation)

That was really good.

You're amazing.

Oh, no.

(His heart breaks.)

For both Section A and B,

Dancer Yang Seong Yun stood out more.

There was ballet technique,

but why did Yang Seong Yun...

Is it because of the injury?

I couldn't stand on that leg at all.

It was disappointing, but I did it until the end.

I have no regrets.

Your fighting spirit despite the injury was insane.

You did a great job.

You had to execute the technique outside of your dance genre.

Dancer Kim Tae Seok,

you couldn't execute...

the rainbow at all.

On the other hand, Dancer Yang Seong Yun.

Maybe it's because of the injury, but you did more pirouettes...

than Kim Tae Seok.

He turned three times, right?

(Seong Yun did ballet techniques better than Kim Tae Seok.)

Regarding your modified double saut de basque,

as a ballerino,

I'd say that you executed it very well.

Good job.

(Feeling bitter)

He really did well.

(Giving him credit)

I'll announce the result for Main Supporting Role Casting.

First, Dancer Kim Tae Seok for the main supporting role.

(Smiling)

You have not been cast.

(Nodding)

(Dancer Kim Tae Seok fails to be cast.)

Next, Yang Seong Yun...

for the main supporting role.

"You've been cast."

I did another dance genre well,

so I felt confident.

You've been cast.

(Dancer Yang Seong Yun is cast for the main supporting role.)

(Yes)

(Contemporary dancers are proud.)

His hard work paid off.

It was a huge bummer,

but I was glad and proud of doing it until the end...

without giving up.

We will continue with...

the Main Supporting Role Casting Audition.

Ballerino Kang Gyeong Ho.

(Let's go, Gyeong Ho.)

Gyeong Ho!

He's our hope.

Korean Dancer Kim Kyu Nyeon, please come out.

- Let's go. - You can do it, Kyu Nyeon.

You can do it, Kyu Nyeon.

Kyu Nyeon.

This combination is the most interesting.

Ballet and Korean dance.

Oh, no. Kyu Nyeon is bad at ballet.

He's bad at ballet.

You're so honest.

(Is Kyu Nyeon's teacher worried about him?)

I didn't want to compete against a ballerino.

I felt anxious.

Will you hit me if I add something like this?

What?

Turning and splitting.

Of course.

If I twist my legs in the air.

Then I'll add something more difficult.

In ballet, you don't dance down on the floor.

I thought that it'd be awkward for him.

My focus was dancing on the floor.

(Kim Kyu Nyeon choreographs by using the floor.)

(Kyu Nyeon never gets up from the floor.)

(Sighing)

I'm terrible at the floor technique.

But this is very easy.

(That's easy?)

In ballet, you dance while standing up.

As soon as your head gets lower than your buttocks,

you get so awkward.

How will ballerinos torment other dancers?

I know.

(He plans to torment with this.)

What the...

I almost cursed.

(Trying not to laugh)

Dancing in the air.

No matter how hard you try to imitate it,

it won't have the same quality at all.

(On this side, he's rolling on the floor.)

(Turning)

(On that side, he's busy jumping.)

(Who will get the last laugh?)

Now,

Main Supporting Role Casting Audition will start.

(Before starting, Kang Gyeong Ho starts warming up lightly.)

Look at his jumps.

He jumps really high.

He stays in the air.

He doesn't come down.

This will be fun too.

It's a fight between the sky and the ground.

First position.

- You can do it. - Good luck.

Let's go.

Good luck.

Music, start.

Three, two, one. Go.

(Ballet Kang Gyeong Ho Technique Choreography Section A)

(Kim Kyu Nyeon executes ballet moves with control.)

Are they both ballerinos or what?

(Ballet Kang Gyeong Ho Technique Choreography Section A)

(Tour en l'air that he's been waiting for)

He's so good.

It looks clean.

(Kang Gyeong Ho's Section A ends with tour en l'air.)

(Kim Kyu Nyeon's Section B starts right away.)

(Kim Kyu Nyeon misses the movement.)

He forgot the combination.

He made a mistake.

(I can't watch this.)

(The Korean dancers feel terrible.)

(Kang Gyeong Ho has to execute the floor technique.)

Gyeong Ho is good.

(The perfect ending)

He did well.

- Isn't his floor technique good? - How is he so good?

He made a mistake.

(Kim Kyu Nyeon missed the moves in his choreography.)

He got his own choreography wrong.

He did ballet so well, but...

He forgot the combination, right?

Kyu Nyeon forgot.

Kim Kyu Nyeon's moves were a bit shabby.

- Right. - That means...

Gyeong Ho did much better.

Yes, he did much better.

First, I'll announce the result for Kim Kyu Nyeon.

Korean Dancer Kim Kyu Nyeon for the main supporting role.

You've not been cast.

(Kim Kyu Nyeon fails to be cast for the main supporting role.)

I didn't show them anything.

The result was expected.

I just wanted to hide myself.

(Sullen Ho Jong)

Ballerino Kang Gyeong Ho...

for a main supporting role.

Please...

You've been cast.

Thank you.

I have a question for you, Gyeong Ho.

From what I could see, the movements that you included...

weren't really ballet techniques.

(Gyeong Ho's choreography section barely included...)

(any ballet techniques.)

I was wondering if you were being considerate of Kyu Nyeon...

being considerate of Kyu Nyeon...

as you lowered the difficulty of the techniques you used.

It wasn't exactly consideration...

(What happened to these two?)

Kyu Nyeon, are there any ballet techniques you can do?

Me? Like jumps or turns?

Yes.

Like two turns in the air, or a pirouette...

You can't do something like a ciseaux, right?

Right. That's... I'm turning off my mic.

(See me with our mics off.)

Kyu Nyeon, can you do this much?

Two turns.

Tour en l'air.

- Time out. - Can't you do that?

I think I could do it if you teach me.

(Contemplating)

I had to check which techniques I could add.

If I did a pirouette in front, I heard groans from the back.

I just saw something weird.

I think that really got to me, actually.

(Gyeong Ho choreographs his part...)

(as he considers the difficulty of the dance.)

Is this too hard?

Could he do a cabriole?

No, take that out.

I mean, I could do it, but my partner couldn't.

(Gyeong Ho adjusted the difficulty of the techniques...)

(for his partner who wasn't used to ballet techniques.)

Gyeong Ho just danced.

But the fact that we named this audition...

the Technique Choreography Audition...

meant that we wanted to see the techniques that you could do best.

We have to know which movements you can do best...

for me to include it in my piece.

So, could you show us what kind of techniques...

you consider to be your best, Gyeong Ho?

Yes, I will...

- Go, Gyeong Ho! - You can do it!

(He's ready to go.)

- Let's show them. - Two, one.

Go.

Is he going to go straight into a ciseaux?

(1 ciseaux)

(So thrilling)

No way.

(2 ciseaux)

How long can he stay in the air?

He's ridiculously good.

(A cabriole followed by the ciseaux)

Yes, that's what ballet is about.

(3 ciseaux)

(Impressed)

(Standing up during his performance)

Three ciseaux.

(After showing off consecutive ciseaux, )

(he finishes with a 4th ciseaux.)

(He's good, indeed.)

Come on.

That was insane.

How many ciseaux did he do?

He has great jumping techniques.

- That was incredible. - Why didn't he include jumps?

I haven't seen jumps like that from any other dancer.

We could've missed out on such a huge opportunity.

Thank you.

Let's try hard so I can be well suited for this position.

So I won't feel embarrassed.

Next, Korean dancer Baek Sang Ha,

and contemporary dancer Lee Jin Woo, please come forward.

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

Let's go!

We will begin the casting audition for the main supporting role.

Three, two, one. Go.

(Korean dance Baek Sang Ha, Technique Choreography Section A)

(Oh, what's this?)

That's so cool.

(Korean dance Baek Sang Ha, Technique Choreography Section A)

Oh, they're good.

(Not sure about something)

(Korean dance Baek Sang Ha, Technique Choreography Section A)

(Watching with eyes like a hawk)

They're good.

(Contemporary dance Lee Jin Woo, Technique Choreography Section B)

Sang Ha is good.

(Impressed)

Nice.

(Baek Sang Ha versus Lee Jin Woo, the Casting Audition ends.)

(They finished well.)

(Clapping)

(Feeling rather disappointed)

(What will their results be like as they pull off the choreography?)

Weren't the movements too easy?

I think it was a big minus.

We will not cast Baek Sang Ha or Lee Jin Woo.

Both of you have worked hard.

We've seen all of the auditions up to Group Eight.

Are they only casting six?

They're not done yet.

There's one spot left, right?

- Yes, there's a spot left. - There's one spot left.

The dancers who have been cast as the main supporting roles are...

contemporary dancer Yang Seong Yun,

Jung Hye Seong,

Kim Young Woong,

ballerino Kang Gyeong Ho,

and lastly, Kim Hye Hyun.

There is only one spot remaining for the main supporting role.

To cast the remaining main supporting dancer,

we will hold an extra audition.

Please wait a moment.

(Suddenly standing up)

(Glancing over)

I was getting ready so that my body didn't stiffen up.

I should bring up my energy level.

My competitive drive is on fire.

Please, just give me one more chance.

I don't think they'll call me.

I think they'll call someone good from Korean dance.

I think it'll be Jang June Hyuk and Ki Moo Gan.

We'll proceed with the extra audition.

The dancers to take part in the extra audition are...

Korean dancer...

Ki Moo Gan...

(Participant in the extra audition: Korean dancer Ki Moo Gan)

And Park Jun Woo.

(Participant in the extra audition: Korean dancer Park Jun Woo)

- It's 1 of the 2? - Oh, it's just those 2?

It's a family feud.

Then...

The one I felt was a close call...

Moo Gan was good at handling other genres.

I think we should see Ki Moo Gan.

And he showed us good techniques...

in contemporary dance. Park Jun Woo.

Park Jun Woo was a close call.

I think Jun Woo had good reviews.

I couldn't believe I had this kind of opportunity.

Let's make up for it now.

If I do well, I could be chosen.

I think it would be good if you showed us your best techniques.

Then, it'd be meaningless to show Korean dance techniques.

We'll see your performance after you warm up.

It's really a battle of techniques.

The person with one lethal move will win.

Will they show us?

This is a competition for the one remaining spot.

Don't be considerate of each other, and show us a good competition.

Yes, ma'am.

I wasn't nervous. I felt like I'd get cast.

I should win the spot, no matter what.

This will be fun. Which techniques will they do?

Do a freestyle improvised dance?

Oh, I should win this, no matter what.

Since Moo Gan has good floor techniques...

In order to win...

- He's so light on his feet. - I bet he adds a jaban.

Let's show them my lethal move.

From now on, we will begin the extra casting audition.

Let's go!

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

This is really my last chance.

First position.

Music, start.

(Park Jun Woo goes first as he tries to win the main supporting role.)

He's facing off with his opponent.

(Park Jun Woo starts in a position where he's facing Ki Moo Gan.)

(Park Jun Woo draws people in with his unique breath and lines.)

He's relaxed too.

(Impressed)

(He's pretty good.)

(Park Jun Woo actively utilizes the floor as well.)

Why are his arms and legs so long?

He has really refreshing lines.

(Impressed)

Nice.

(Park Jun Woo nails his lethal move, the jaban.)

He was really good. Should I be wary of him?

(Totally immersed)

There you go. You have to do the helicopter.

(Here comes the helicopter.)

(He doesn't miss the foot detail.)

(The ending fairy with a daring hand gesture.)

(A standing ovation)

(The adorable dancer made everyone laugh.)

Nice fan service.

He's "The Great Gatsby."

(Everyone keeps copying his ending pose.)

- He put together a good dance. - He's so cute.

That's what I call technique.

(The only guy who can't smile in the meantime)

Moo Gan.

I think Moo Gan will be cast.

I hope we can tell for certain.

- I hope it's not a hard choice. - Right.

I wish it'll be easy to tell.

- Then, we'll get started. - I'll give it a go.

First position.

I think I just really want to do well.

Music,

start.

(Calming down his racing heart)

Three, two, one. Go.

Good.

(Eyes widening)

(Goodness)

(Ki Moo Gan shows off his floor techniques from the beginning.)

(Watching closely)

That's a bit of a shame.

(His moves mostly consist of floor techniques.)

(Wondering)

You have to do more.

You have to do more.

(Hesitating)

Oh, he's a bit...

He was getting tangled up.

Don't give up.

(Ki Moo Gan versus Park Jun Woo, the Extra Casting Audition ends.)

Goodness.

It wasn't easy.

(Disappointed)

He made a mistake.

- He got tangled up. - He lost his flow.

- He got a bit tangled up, right? - Yes, a bit.

- He was thinking too much. - Yes, he missed his flow.

I think you had a lot on your mind, Moo Gan.

Right? How was it?

I had my moves planned out...

(Ki Moo Gan can't continue speaking out of disappointment.)

Moo Gan, I think the greatest strength you have...

is how natural you are.

But you started out...

with what you were going to do already set in mind.

That was why you totally lost your flow.

- Yes, that's right. - Right?

It was a shame.

I felt like such a fool.

There must be so many who were dying for a chance.

How could I mess this up?

On the other hand, Park Jun Woo...

seemed to know exactly what Ki Moo Gan was good at.

"I bet Ki Moo Gan will do these moves."

"I will make my moves..."

"a bit bigger and flashier." I could tell...

that you came up with your choreography with that in mind.

And I think your strategy was right on the spot.

Good work.

We will now announce the dancer...

who will be cast in the final main supporting role.

Korean dancer Park Jun Woo...

for a main supporting role.

- Jun Woo, you should get it. - He'll get it.

You've been cast.

(A big bow)

Jun Woo managed to do well in the opportunity he was given.

As a result, Korean dancer Ki Moo Gan has not been cast...

in the main supporting role.

Oh, no. Moo Gan.

- Why did you get so tangled up? - I know.

You worked so hard.

No matter which position I'm in, I can just do well.

- Good job. - Good work, Jun Woo.

I was just grateful throughout this entire audition.

I felt like I was going to cry.

The Mega Stage Mission, Wihonmu.

The main supporting role auditions are all finished.

Congratulations to all of the dancers who have been cast.

(That was a great competition.)

(Mega Stage Mission Main Supporting Role Casting Results)

(The First Class' Main Lead Role Casting Audition)

(A fierce dance battle with each genre's pride on the line)

(Getting goosebumps)

(The dancer in the sub lead role...)

(is Choi Ho Jong.)

(Is this for real?)

(I will go with sub lead role candidate...)

(Choi Ho Jong.)

(Sub lead role candidate number 3)

(Choi Ho Jong)

(Choi Ho Jong was called as the sub lead role several times.)

(I was really frustrated that I couldn't show...)

(what I could do.)

Stage Fighter. We will proceed with...

the Main Lead Role Casting Audition.

We will now explain how the Main Lead Role Casting Auditions will go.

Among the eight lead dancers,

only three of you can get the main lead roles.

Oh, that's tough.

Three is a perfect number.

Well, I think I'll be safe.

I could make it in without much difficulty.

I didn't think three spots were too few.

But I did think the competition would be fierce.

In the Mega Stage performance, Wihonmu, the main lead roles are...

the one opposing death, the one fearing death,

and the one consoling death.

The candidates for main lead roles must choose three dancers...

who they think will be good sub lead dancers to make them shine.

They will be performing the audition piece together.

Among the sub dancers in the background,

they must not be overwhelmed...

and shine brightest on stage.

I thought who I choose as my sub lead dancers...

would be important.

If the dancers behind me do too well,

I could seem overwhelmed by them.

Those who will make me shine.

Everyone will choose the dancers who aren't as good as them.

If I choose the right dancers behind me, I could shine even brighter.

Seven, eight.

(The lead dancers start practicing the audition piece.)

I should memorize it quickly and work on the details.

In the process of memorizing and practicing the audition piece,

I should choose those who are doing well.

- I'll turn up the music here. - Okay.

I was hoping that I'd get a chance to observe and figure out...

the other dancers sooner. That's why I played the music.

(Choi Ho Jong led the group practice to figure out the dancers' skills.)

(And outside of the group practice, )

(one dancer is focused on doing his own thing.)

Kim Hyun Ho kept grabbing my attention.

Kim Hyun Ho seemed to have...

a very unique style.

It would be hard to dance with him.

Hyun Ho had a very strong energy.

So, in a way, he could stand out too much.

Would this style work for the audition?

I was contemplating it a lot.

This is who I am. But will you guys...

be able to use me as a sub dancer?

Do you want to dance to the music together?

- To the music? - Yes.

- I don't have it memorized yet. - I'm a little confused too.

I don't get this part. The arm movement.

I think I should learn the Korean dance port de bras.

There were Korean dance-like movements...

in between the other segments.

Even as I was practicing, it was really difficult.

(Is this right?)

I could tell that the ballerinos were pretty confused.

Every time I looked at him, Kim Yu Chan...

was never practicing properly.

Will he do well?

I'm only saying this now, but I pretended like I was struggling.

I think I just wanted to observe...

how these people get through this dance.

I think I calculated...

what other people couldn't do or parts that I thought...

I could show off more.

I practiced as I watched how the others were dancing.

The pirouette is going the other way.

- It's so hard to balance. - Oh, this...

(Meanwhile, the dancers are struggling with the pirouette.)

Oh, wait.

(They all practice the pirouette together.)

(This technique makes them groan automatically.)

It's hard.

Gosh, the pirouette is the biggest hurdle.

- Since we're in a rush, - Right.

I end up spinning haphazardly.

I'm just spinning on my whole foot.

Of course. I do that too.

We're Korean dancers.

It was pretty hard.

"How can I pull off a pirouette..."

"in a short amount of time?" That was what I was thinking about.

After the practice session was over,

we each took turns to perform.

(Choi Ho Jong performed the dance first.)

Goodness.

(Focused)

This is the thought I had.

"Is he going easy now so he can do better later?"

I honestly had that thought.

Honestly, in this audition piece,

I'd stand out more even if they try to beat me.

(Next, Ryu Tae Young performs the dance.)

(What?)

(Ryu Tae Young stops dancing midway as he doesn't know it yet.)

I'm sorry.

If we dance together, I would stand out.

With Ryu Tae Young,

I observed him the whole time during practice.

If I have him stand behind me,

and I dance with a different vibe,

I could stand out.

I'm in big trouble.

(Slinking down)

I made a mistake, and I showed them that I wasn't doing well.

If I get called as a sub lead dancer several times,

I should try to beat the main lead dancer.

(Kim Yu Chan performs the dance next.)

(Wary of him)

(Impressed)

- Goodness. - Nice.

It was very neat and stable.

I think it was good.

I didn't feel anxious as I watched you.

I thought he danced with a similar vibe as me.

I should choose three people who I think...

will be a good fit with me. And then, I should...

outshine them during the audition.

I should choose people different from me and those I can easily beat.

Let's put people who are good at each genre...

on either side of me.

I thought I wouldn't perform with people who might outshine me.

The person I had in mind...

The sub lead dancers I chose...

My first sub lead dancer candidate is...

The dancer I had in mind...

for the first candidate in the sub lead role is...

The first dancer in the Main Lead Role Casting Audition is...

Kim Hyun Ho.

- Yes! - Go!

(Here comes the tiger.)

Do-rag Man!

The first dancer I had in mind as the candidate...

for the sub lead role is...

- Is it me? - Who is it?

The first dancer is...

Choi Ho Jong.

(Sub lead dancer 1, Choi Ho Jong)

(The crowd is mumbling.)

- Choi Ho Jong as a sub dancer? - It won't be easy.

This isn't a picture you can see every day.

I think he had me wrong as he chose me.

I think he will regret his choice time and time again.

My second candidate for the sub lead role is...

Yun Hyeok Jung.

(Sub lead dancer 2, Yun Hyeok Jung)

(This will be so fun!)

(Contemporary dance family feud from the get-go)

I think Hyun Ho and I...

have opposite styles of dancing.

So, I may be behind him, but I could stand out more.

This could be an opportunity for me.

My third candidate for the sub lead role is...

Jung Sung Wook.

(Highly expectant)

- They're all from different genres. - I know.

He made an interesting choice.

- He really might get overwhelmed. - I know.

Hyun Ho is a man's man, for sure.

You were supposed to choose sub lead dancers...

who could make you shine.

I'm wondering what your interpretation was...

of who could make you shine.

I thought I wouldn't be beaten even if I chose these guys.

Yes, man!

(Strong cheers)

It's another family's feud.

My strategy was to...

put people who are good at each genre behind me.

First of all, after my turn,

I really focused on observing people.

I watched Ho Jong's hand movements a lot.

And Hyeok Jung had great details in creating beautiful lines.

And I watched how ballerinos did their pirouettes.

And my strong point is...

my intense energy. I should bring out my inner tiger.

I'll dominate the First Class with my energy.

I thought of it as attributes.

(Attributes, all of a sudden?)

First of all, my attribute is fire.

(Like Pokemon types? Bursting into laughter)

He's the ground type.

And these guys are water and wind.

- Blow wind, blow! - Wind Jung Sung Wook!

(Wind Sung Wook seems rather embarrassed.)

Wind Sung Wook.

When I breathe, I will bring Ho Jong's energy.

I will bring Hyeok Jung's energy for contemporary dance.

And I wanted to bring Sung Wook's energy when doing ballet.

That was why I chose these guys.

(Fire Hyun Ho's ambition to burn strongly with the energy he absorbs)

- I like it. Fire type. - I know.

I had no intention of being the ground type.

The wind, water, and ground will come after me now.

We'll now begin the Casting Audition.

First positions.

I feel confident.

This went beyond confidence. He was rather reckless.

He made a mistake by selecting me.

Music, start.

(Will Kim Hyun Ho's strategy work?)

Go.

(Glaring)

(Nice start!)

(Sub lead roles begin the choreography in their ways.)

(They're all very good.)

Ho Jong is amazing.

Nice.

(Kim Hyun Ho fights with his intense energy.)

(Tilting)

(4 people presented their own movements.)

(Glaring)

(Thinking)

(Averting)

(Jung Sung Wook uses the line to draw attention.)

That's cool.

(The master of detailed gesture)

(Exclaiming)

(Yun Hyeok Jung with high jumps)

(Surprised)

(Main Lead Role Candidate Kim Hyun Ho's Casting Audition ends.)

(She can't hide the regrets.)

He chose wrong.

- Ho Jong keeps stealing attention. - Yes.

Ho Jong's good.

The ballerino was amazing.

Who do you choose?

The contemporary dancer in the back.

(Kim Hyun Ho didn't stand out on stage.)

I have a question for you.

What do you think your strongest qualities are?

I think it's my strong power.

It's interesting because I think the selection of dancers...

that you have chosen...

But you added a bit of disadvantage...

because you blended technically...

and in movement quality wise.

It's miscast.

You said you were going to receive energy...

from other elements.

But all I remember is your eyes looking forward...

as if you were going to eat up the judges...

while dancing.

Honestly, it didn't feel like...

you were receiving energy from them.

There are only criticisms.

Thank you for your work, everyone.

(Kim Hyun Ho's performance only received regrettable criticisms.)

(Kim Hyun Ho's face is stiffened by harsh feedback.)

(Exchanging looks)

Good job.

You placed first in my heart.

(Young Woong the tough guy makes him feel better.)

We'll now begin Ryu Tae Young's Casting Audition.

- Good luck. - You can do it.

(Nice legs)

Look at his legs.

Oh, my gosh.

They're long.

His waist is there just to be polite.

(Laughing)

Look at how tall he is. He's so pale.

Ryu Tae Young,

say three sub lead roles who will make you shine in your opinion...

with their position numbers.

Will they make him shine or shine together?

Or only others will shine alone without him?

The first sub lead role candidate is...

Yun Hyeok Jung.

The second sub lead role candidate is Kim Yu Chan.

The third candidate is Kim Jong Cheol.

- Let's go. - Show him, Jong Cheol.

This is fun.

Another trio.

He has broad shoulders.

He has bombs in his shoulders.

He loves Hyeok Jung so much after the Dance Film.

(Cheerful)

Since the mission was told,

I had Hyeok Jung in my mind.

When we were working on the Dance Film,

I was better than him.

(Yun Hyeok Jung and Ryu Tae Young worked as main supporting roles.)

(Was that Tae Young?)

(Ryu Tae Young stood out more than Yun Hyeok Jung.)

Hyeok Jung has very strong energy,

but I'm just as energetic...

when I show my energy.

(For the other two candidates, )

(he chooses Kim Jong Cheol...)

(and Kim Yu Chan.)

I chose...

people with the similar energy for the other two.

"I'll show more of my energy..."

"to stand out in the audition."

That was my goal.

(Monitoring their practice)

When I practiced with the three,

I thought it'd be okay for the audition.

I'll be able to pull it off.

I'll have to stand out among the four.

Why did he do that?

He doesn't know what he's doing.

It was his mistake for keeping me next to him.

I can't help but stand out in this.

First position.

Music, start.

(Concentrating)

(Will Ryu Tae Young's strategy work?)

Go.

(Exclaiming)

That was neat.

Hyeok Jung stands out so much.

They're good.

(Main lead role candidate Ryu Tae Young's Casting Audition ends.)

(Applauding)

I see Tae Young.

Really?

Hyeok Jung was amazing on the side.

While watching it, I found something regrettable.

When it began,

the person in the center was the center of the movement.

So while I was watching you,

the moment I saw your right,

I couldn't take my eyes off...

of Yun Hyeok Jung's turn and techniques.

Among the four of you,

Hyeok Jung had the highest quality and accuracy.

It was your mistake to place him there.

(Nodding in regret)

Was I wrong about my decision?

I thought I had a chance to win.

But even if I was given a second chance,

I'd pick Hyeok Jung again.

Next. Yun Hyeok Jung.

Please get ready for the audition.

- Three times in a row. - How's he going to do it?

(Yun Hyeok Jung's turn after joining...)

(Kim Hyun Ho and Ryu Tae Young's auditions.)

It won't be easy to dance three times in a row.

Hyeok Jung's arms are pumped up.

Yun Hyeok Jung,

say three sub lead roles who will make you shine...

in your opinion.

No matter what, I'm taking the main lead role this time.

That's why I selected them.

The sub lead role candidate is Kim Jong Cheol.

Again?

Jong Cheol again.

Is he good?

He looked weak.

I thought I'd stand out.

The sub lead role candidate is Ryu Tae Young.

(Ryu Tae Young was criticized after comparing to Yun Hyeok Jung.)

He'll be perfect next to me.

I became a sub lead role because I lacked.

I was upset at myself.

I should do my best to improve.

And the sub lead role candidate...

(Who is Yun Hyeok Jung's last sub lead role?)

is Choi Ho Jong.

(Confident)

(Eyes focused)

He's confident.

The way he dances is different from mine.

In terms of the fixed choreography, I'd do better.

(During the fixed choreography self-evaluation)

(Contemplating)

If you give off your energy more,

you'd stand out even more.

I got the feeling that you were hiding your breathing.

You should've done something to change people's attention...

I decided...

not to show all my strategy.

I forgot the order.

Why waste my energy there?

Even if more people choose me for that reason,

I feel confident in outdoing them.

I have a good chance of winning.

He didn't know me better than choosing me.

I should teach him a lesson.

Music, start.

(How's Yun Hyeok Jung's audition?)

(Eyes open wide)

His line is crazy. Nice line.

(Nice line)

(Neat)

Ho Jong and Hyeok Jung are very neat.

Hyeok Jung is awesome.

Nice.

(Nice)

Hyeok Jung is amazing.

Nice.

That was wonderful.

Hyeok Jung has unique energy.

He has a nice line.

He picked the right sub roles.

Yun Hyeok Jung, you've made...

a clever choice of selecting main sub roles.

The line of your dance or your energy...

stretching out to the end of your fingers and toes...

clearly stood out...

more than the three people in the back.

- Right. - He stood out.

You had a lot of strong eye focus.

(Intense)

(Like)

So, well done.

- Thank you. - Way to go.

All I saw was Hyeok Jung.

How can he not stand out when he has a good build?

That's true.

Isn't that enough...

to get me the main lead role?

I think I got it.

Kim Hyo Joon.

Please get ready for the audition.

- Kim Hyo Joon, - Show them what you've got.

Say three sub lead roles who will make you shine...

in your opinion.

The first sub lead role candidate is...

Kim Jong Cheol.

The second candidate is Ryu Tae Young.

The third sub lead role candidate is Choi Ho Jong.

(It'll be fun to watch this combination.)

He called Ho Jong?

It's the family match.

Right. It's the family match.

I must choose Ho Jong and Jong Cheol.

We have the same dance style, and they're good,

but I feel confident to stand out among them.

(When the main lead role audition choreography was revealed)

When I watched the choreography,

there was no move I didn't feel confident about.

(From the liberal movements of the Contemporary Dance, )

(pirouette in ballet, )

(and jaban in Korean Dance, he mastered them all.)

(Unbelievable)

(Confident)

So I plan to have good dancers in the back.

If I dance in front with good dancers in the back,

it'll look the best.

But what if Ho Jong and Jong Cheol do anything that stands out?

I wouldn't like that.

So when I placed them,

I placed Jong Cheol to cover his energetic move,

and Ho Jong to cover his good move.

I thought about how to hide them even more.

Good luck, Hyo Joon.

- Good luck. - You got this.

First position.

Music, start.

I feel confident about winning.

Because I'm competent.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

Go.

(Presenting chaines as they move diagonally)

Good job.

Place Jong Cheol to cover his good move.

(Swing)

(Followed by neat and accurate technique)

Very good.

(Exclaiming)

(Kim Hyo Joon moves half a beat faster.)

(Exclaiming)

(He uses the beat longer to stand out.)

Place Ho Jong to cover his good move.

Nice.

(Jaban finale)

(Exclaiming)

(Perfect ending)

(Main lead role candidate Kim Hyo Joon's Casting Audition ends.)

Hyo Joon's jump was amazing.

How can they jump all at the same time?

- I know. - That was insane.

He's always been good at jaban.

They did it the way I wanted it to be...

in the beginning.

Really? The way the choreographer wanted it to be?

That means they were very good.

Kim Hyo Joon, I was impressed.

(Exclaiming)

You presented...

what I expected from a Korean dancer...

in the beginning.

And you were smart enough...

to place the dancers from the same genre.

It made you stand out even more.

Thank you.

Kim Hyo Joon was the only one who used the beat differently.

Was it intended?

(Use the beat differently?)

I knew people on each side were on accurate beat.

I decided to make use of the parts that I could extend.

(Kim Hyo Joon used the beat longer than others.)

(He also dragged the last move.)

Since I was the main lead role,

I should show my face more.

(Exclaiming)

You were smart enough to extend the beat...

with three people in the back.

Your performance was very unexpected.

What I really enjoyed about you...

is that you had technicality like a contemporary dancer,

but you had a refinement...

and calm sophistication like a ballet dancer.

But you had the energy of a Korean traditional dancer.

- What a compliment. - He had all three elements.

You were encompassing all these different genres naturally.

So, well done. Very well done.

Thank you.

(Bowing)

It felt like I was approved. It felt great.

Kim Yu Chan, please get ready.

- Go, Kim Yu Chan. - Good luck.

Kim Yu Chan!

- I'm counting on you. - The first sub lead role is...

Kim Hyo Joon.

(Rushing)

Next is...

Ryu Tae Young.

- Good luck. - You can do it.

They're placing each other in the back.

(Ryu Tae Young picked Kim Yu Chan for the sub supporting role.)

(Kim Yu Chan)

(Despite your tall height, )

(Kim Yu Chan drew my attention more.)

(Ryu Tae Young had criticism in front of Kim Yu Chan.)

(And he's given a second chance.)

I can beat him in the back.

I'll have to prove myself.

The third sub lead role is...

Kim Hyun Ho.

- Me? - Good luck.

(Sub lead role 3 is Kim Hyun Ho.)

- It's a strange combination. - Very strange.

This is unexpected.

He's the opposite of Yu Chan.

- He's very smart. - I know.

Kim Yu Chan, why did you choose...

these three people for your sub lead roles?

I believe these three people...

are unique in their own ways.

I believe I have what they have.

(What makes him so confident?)

Go, Kim Yu Chan.

So intense.

- Good one. - Okay.

So cool.

- Is that true? - Yes.

I've tried all three genres.

I majored in Korean Dance.

The choreographer probably expects...

how dancers from other genres will do the Korean Dance.

But it'd benefit me more...

if I break out of her expectations and pull it off.

And I wanted to make it look more like ballet to show my uniqueness.

Because it's so fast,

other dancers can't turn more than 2 or 3 times.

So I planned to turn more.

Because I believe I'm more unique than they are.

I feel confident not to be buried by them.

Then now, we will begin the Casting Audition.

First position.

Be awakened and dance like a lunatic.

Music,

start.

(How will the strategist Kim Yu Chan do?)

(Change in his look)

I like it.

(Kim Yu Chan puts on a unique line.)

That's neat.

He stretches the beat all the way.

He's good.

(I like it.)

And I wanted to make it look more like ballet to show my uniqueness.

(Like)

Nice.

(The standard example of pirouette)

(Goosebumps)

(That's crazy.)

(Falling for Yu Chan)

(When everyone turns twice...)

Three turns is out of their league.

Kim Yu Chan!

Awesome!

You did it!

(Approved)

- That was wonderful. - Yes.

(Nodding)

Wonderful.

(Say GOAT Yu Chan.)

Kim Yu Chan!

- That was awesome. - No wonder he's a ballet dancer.

That was totally ballet.

He's the winner.

- He nailed it. - I know.

(It won't be easy.)

- Bravo. - I'm getting the chills.

It was interesting...

because I expected certain moves from Korean dancers.

But you were the first person to show them.

(This is it.)

(She loves it.)

It was made for Korean dancers,

- but he pulled it off the best. - Yes.

- The way he moved his hand... - It was cool.

Kim Yu Chan, you selected very well...

because they have a very homogenous energy amongst them.

So actually they became the background.

And I was able to see you and your qualities.

Thank you.

Thank you for that.

You showed your best ballet lines,

yet you pulled it off. I want to give you credit for that.

Thank you.

(Kim Yu Chan is complimented by the judges.)

Way to go, Kim Yu Chan.

Okay. I may have failed with the group dancers,

but I'll still get the lead role.

It felt great.

Someone will become a sub lead role here,

but that won't be me.

Kim Jong Cheol, please get ready.

Let's go.

Say three sub lead roles...

who will make you shine in your opinion.

The first sub lead role is...

Kim Hyun Ho.

The second sub lead role is Yun Hyeok Jung.

The third sub lead role is Kim Hyo Joon.

One more, Hyo Joon.

What's going on?

- Did it change? - Yes, it was supposed to be me.

I switched to Plan B.

So I changed everything.

(When choosing the sub lead roles for the 1st time)

The first sub lead role is...

Ryu Tae Young.

Next is Choi Ho Jong.

Next, it's Kim Hyun Ho.

They don't express their energy in a diverse way.

I'd eat them up.

(The 4 practice together after the sub lead role selection.)

(Monitoring the video)

(Kim Jong Cheol looks serious.)

Why does it look so weird?

It was serious.

I thought I'd eat them up.

But I was rather buried by their soft energy.

This is bad. I made a wrong choice.

I had a mental breakdown.

(Kim Jong Cheol's in contemplation.)

I think I should change it.

(What? Change it?)

To people with strong energy.

I decided to choose three people with strong energy...

Let's harmonize our mutual energy.

Let's harmonize our mutual energy.

"If I also succeed in creating a delicate move among them,"

"we may have a chance."

That's what I thought.

Does that mean your energy...

will be able to overwhelm others?

That's why I chose them.

(Let's see if you can make it.)

As I get one more chance,

I want to be the main lead role.

I can't wait to see the performance.

First position.

Music, start.

Three, two, one. Go.

(Kim Jong Cheol's audition starts.)

(Astonished)

(Eyes opening)

(As well as simple and smooth turning, )

(they show a powerful energy.)

He is so different from performing sub before.

- Look at Dancer Jong Cheol. - He's totally changed.

Jong Cheol is doing so well!

(Kim Jong Cheol's delicate movement catches all eyes.)

(Powerful energy)

He's so different now!

Look at him! He was not that powerful before.

He's so talented!

- What was that? - Oh, my!

(He moved to the center after the last jump.)

- He's in the center now. - He's right in the middle!

(Satisfied)

He went to the center.

Even the formation has been changed.

Jong Cheol's performance is as good as that of Hyo Joon.

"It wasn't bad."

Generally,

I could feel the energy.

And the movement based on the technique was...

very concise and clean.

Thank you.

I was really impressed with the way you use your upper body,

the way you use your legs, and also your performance quality.

And I also think you chose your subs very well.

Because they have a similar energy to you.

But you made a point...

to stand out amongst the energy.

So, congratulations.

Thanks.

I feel quite strange.

You performed as a sub...

- for the last three times, right? - Yes.

But your performance back then didn't catch my eye.

In the rehearsal,

I was nominated by five other dancers.

(During the Main Lead Role Casting Audition)

(He performed as a sub for Dancer Kim Yu Chan, )

(Choi Ho Jong, Kim Hyo Joon, )

(Yun Hyeok Jung, )

(and Ryu Tae Young.)

As I spent too much energy in the rehearsal...

- Oh, it hurts. - Jong Cheol!

I even had a cramp in my legs.

"What if I underperform in my stage?"

"Because I should do well for it too."

With all due respect, I had to save my energy.

- You are smart. - Thanks for your effort.

- Thanks. - Okay.

(Everyone clapping)

Korean Dance's doing well.

"Jong Cheol, you've done well, not being so thrilled."

Next, Choi Ho Jong. Please be ready for your dance.

(Everyone cheering)

(Expecting his performance)

- Finally, the final boss. - I'm so excited.

Dancer Choi Ho Jong, please choose the three subs

that will shine your dance.

I'm so curious to know.

As soon as I saw what the mission was,

I drew up Plan A and Plan B.

(Carefully observing)

My Plan A was with Kim Yu Chan and Jung Sung Wook from Ballet.

Hyeok Jung from Contemporary Dance as his movement is very concise.

I will put them behind me.

And I thought if I outperform them, it will catch the judges' eyes.

My Plan B is...

to put some dancers from Korean Dance...

and choose Dancer Ryu Tae Young,

who has similar movements.

I was confident that I would outperform them.

And I hoped it would catch the eyes.

I had to choose between two plans.

"What would be the right choice for me?"

(Between Plan A and Plan B, what would be his choice?)

My sub is Dancer Kim Hyo Joon.

Dancer Ryu Tae Young and Kim Jong Cheol.

(He chose Plan B.)

He chose three from Korean Dance.

I guess it's a good choice.

Plan A. Why did you not go with that?

(During the Main Lead Role Casting Audition)

(Dancer Kim Yu Chan performed his perfect turning.)

Oh, my! Turning three times!

(Yun Hyeok Jung's delicate movement catches the eyes.)

He's so good.

(He agonizes.)

Ballet Dancers look so cool too.

So, at first,

I wanted to choose only from Ballet.

After the rehearsal,

I thought it'd be go big or go home.

- It's too risky. - I agree.

Even if I outperform others,

I don't know how the coaches would feel about it.

So, I felt it would not be advantageous to me.

And also in the Dance Film,

I had some resentment as a sub.

So, this time, to be the main lead role,

I needed to choose a concrete way.

That's why I chose Plan B.

First position.

(What will be Choi Ho Jong's performance?)

Music, start.

Three, two, one. Go.

Nice!

Look at him stretching his body.

(Oh, my!)

(The smoothly connected turning)

(The delicate touching at the end of the finger)

Oh, nice!

(Captivated)

Why is so clean?

(Everyone shouting out)

(Amazing)

(Even his last movement catches all the eyes.)

Very good.

(The perfect ending)

It was so clean.

- Nice! - Choi Ho Jong outperformed all.

(How would they estimate his performance?)

As I saw Ho Jong's dance,

I could feel both strong...

and delicate movements.

I believe a kind of dancer like you...

would be a perfect fit for choreographers.

Thanks.

She praises highly.

I think you made an excellent choice, Ho Jong.

You made yourself stand out...

and showed us...

what you can do best as much as you like.

(His smooth movement surely stood out.)

- Thanks for your work. - Thanks.

I made the right decision.

My cuties.

He's so skilled and knows how to use them.

His performance was surely based on his experience.

He knows how we can stand out.

Next, Jung Sung Wook. Please be ready.

(It's a main lead role candidate, Jung Sung Wook's turn.)

- Let's go, Sung Wook! - You got this!

- Let's go! - You can do it.

Let's go!

Dancer Jung Sung Wook, please choose the three subs...

that will shine your dance.

(Jong Cheol, Hyo Joon, and Tae Young take sits.)

Jong Cheol, you may need to be ready for another dance.

- It's me? - I'm not sure.

My sub number one is...

(Who will be?)

(No way. It's me?)

I would get a cramp.

Dancer Kim Jong Cheol.

Oh, my.

- He'd be dog-tired. - It'd be very exhausting.

He's the most popular.

My sub number two is...

Dancer Ryu Tae Young.

(Sighing deeply)

- He's in trouble. - It drives me crazy.

- His legs may be more thinner. - Thinner again.

What a jackpot!

My sub number three is...

Kim Hyo Joon?

(I'm not feeling good with this.)

Dancer Kim Hyo Joon.

(The hard worker Kim Hyo Joon, He's rechecking his nametag.)

(Even Kim Hyo Joon is selected as a sub again.)

That must be so tiring!

The three sub pros.

They perform too often.

We saw the same subs pretty often.

I guess I saw Kim Jong Cheol five times as a sub.

(Kim Jong Cheol was called on as a sub the last five times.)

Ryu Tae Young, you called on five times too, right?

(Ryu Tae Young is also called on five times as a sub.)

I guessed it right.

The most popular picks!

(Oh, my)

As I was called on very often from the practicing...

- My sub-dancer is... - My choice is...

- Kim Jong Cheol! - Kim Jong Cheol!

(He was called on many times as a sub supporting role.)

It's Dancer Kim Jong Cheol!

I worked the most.

(He worked on 6 out of 8 times of filming.)

It was very tiring.

But I believe doing my best in my position...

is the best I can do.

(Whenever called on, he did his best.)

Honestly, it was very tiring.

It was very tiring, and I felt hurt.

But I was also glad that I could stand on the stage.

He doesn't have any more stamina.

Dancer Jung Sung Wook,

I'd like to know the ground of your choice.

Korean Dance and Contemporary Dance.

I chose Dancer Kim Jong Cheol...

and Kim Hyo Joon like a carriage and pair.

(A carriage and pair?)

He said "a carriage and pair."

What a line.

- Seriously. - It's funny how he expresses.

I guess he saw a chance to stand out next to the Korean Dancers.

He has a good plan.

"When I put different dancers together,"

"I would catch their eyes."

That's why I chose the three.

Surely, his ballet performance will stand out.

It was a nice choice.

The Casting Audition for Jung Sung Wook,

a main lead role candidate, starts.

- I'm so excited. - Me as well.

- Sung Wook, you got this! - Let's go!

Why are you angrily shouting?

I really want to take this main lead role.

To get this role and honor the Ballet group...

and make history, that's my wish.

First position.

Music, start.

Three, two, one. Go.

(Completely changing)

(Surprised)

(Clean turns)

He does it differently.

(Watching closely)

Sung Wook is expressing it in his own way.

Hyo Joon is tired.

(Graceful)

He did a plie to turn.

(Oh, well...)

(Ryu Tae Young made a mistake and missed the beat.)

(The Audition for Jung Sung Wook, a main lead role candidate, ends.)

Bravo.

(Clapping)

(Looking attentively)

It feels new.

Sung Wook has his own graceful movements.

All three of them got tired at the end.

They were very tired.

The three must be so tired.

There's a captivating edge of the dance.

I'd like to give a high score...

for expressing it in a ballet style.

But I was quite disappointed...

(Nervous)

because the three dancers who appeared the most...

lost almost all their energy.

Your delicate portrayal...

of the dance...

would've stood out more if it had supported...

the energetic dance...

of the male dancers in the back.

(Agreeing)

- It made them look all weak. - Yes.

Because Sung Wook's moves were subdued.

It's a little disappointing...

that you made their moves rather weak.

I wish I could do better.

I should've expected that a lot of them...

would be picked as the sub lead dancers.

I made a wrong judgment.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- I'm sorry. - Don't say that. You did well.

The Fixed Choreography Audition...

for the eight main lead role candidates has ended.

The result will be announced later.

(The coaches and the rehearsal director start discussing.)

I've already decided.

Like this?

Me too.

- Is it the same? - It's exactly the same.

- Same for me. I had the same... - It's the same...

- Yes. We already... - Really?

These five.

- It's unanimous. - Right.

That was easy.

First, I'm going to announce the sub lead dancers...

who weren't cast as the main lead dancers for the Mega Stage.

Someone will be confirmed as a sub lead dancer.

But that won't be me.

I'll become the main lead dancer rather than the sub.

I'm not the person who would just perform the sub lead role.

The dancers who aren't cast as the main lead dancers...

and are confirmed as sub lead dancers are...

Who would it be?

The sub lead role is still good.

Dancer Kim Hyun Ho.

(Kim Hyun Ho is cast for the sub lead role.)

Dancer Kim Hyun Ho.

It was a little unfavorable to him this time.

(The strategy of having a skilled sub lead dancer behind him...)

(backfired on him.)

Actually, this is how I feel.

Even though I lost, I fought well.

And...

Dancer Ryu Tae Young.

(Ryu Tae Young didn't stand out as he was overshadowed...)

(by the sub lead dancer Yun Hyeok Jung he had chosen.)

Two contemporary dancers.

After working so hard.

You can't make a choreography...

- if you're eliminated here, right? - Right.

It hurt my heart.

I was angry at myself for not seizing the opportunity...

to show my choreography.

And Dancer Jung Sung Wook.

(Jung Sung Wook is cast for the sub lead role.)

He danced too late.

(Jung Sung Wook made a mistake in choosing sub lead dancers...)

(and couldn't show his best side.)

I doubted myself a lot.

"Can't I go any higher and only do this much?"

Dancers Kim Hyun Ho, Ryu Tae Young, and Jung Sung Wook...

will perform sub lead roles.

The select three main lead dancers...

from the five dancers,

we will evaluate you based on your own creative...

interpretative dance inspired by the theme "the one opposing death."

Dancer Yun Hyeok Jung, please stand by first.

- You got this. - You got this.

(You got this, Hyeok Jung!)

(Dancer Yun Hyeok Jung will perform first.)

Hyeok Jung.

Good luck.

I made the choreography, thinking about confronting...

and breaking through death upon its arrival.

I was confident.

There were three main lead roles. I thought it was enough...

for me to be cast.

First position.

Music, start.

- He must be so nervous. - Good luck.

(How will he interpret the one opposing death?)

What?

(An amazing split)

- Sexy Hyeok Jung. - It's smooth.

(Getting into it)

It should be more powerful.

(The performance of Yun Hyeok Jung ended.)

That's how he finishes.

Bravo.

(Impressed)

His legs were beautiful.

- The top of his feet. - Yes.

He's good.

- He's so good. - He's great.

He brought the music to life. I like his interpretation.

After finishing, I thought I would make it.

I thought I would take the main lead role.

Dancer Kim Hyo Joon, please get ready.

(Interpretative Choreography Evaluation)

"The one opposing death."

I wondered if I could adequately showcase the dance...

that fits the role and the concept.

Then I wanted to show...

a person being pulled down by death.

First position.

Music, start.

(How will Kim Hyo Joon express the one opposing death?)

(He got into the character who is opposing death.)

Two, one. Go.

(His eyes completely change.)

(Surprised)

His eyes are crazy.

(Focused)

(What is he doing?)

(His expressiveness steals the show.)

(He can show techniques as well.)

(Headbanging)

(He killed it.)

(Kim Hyo Joon showed powerful facial expressions until the end.)

- It was crazy. - Bravo!

What did I see?

So this is the dancer in the First Class?

(Clapping)

He did well.

It was good.

He's good.

(Kim Hyo Joon's interpretive dance left a strong impact.)

He's incredible.

He's so good.

Excellent.

What does the first position...

symbolize?

I thought it was a moment to face death...

as if I encountered the Grim Reaper.

So I felt a sense of emptiness.

Despite that,

I decided to fight in the beginning.

I thought it was very cool.

The message you wanted to convey...

through your dance...

was delivered to me, who was watching in front,

straightforwardly and clearly, as if it was written in words.

It was amazing.

Their comments were very positive.

So I'm confident...

I will become the main lead dancer.

Dancer Kim Yu Chan, please get ready.

If I were to oppose death,

I wanted to show the power...

to stand against it.

I incorporated a lot of contemporary floor movements...

and wanted to showcase delicate yet powerful expressions.

First position.

Music, start.

(How will Kim Yu Chan express the one opposing death?)

One. Go.

(Stretching)

(Impressed)

(He really killed it.)

(His presence dominates the stage from the intro.)

(Concentrating fiercely)

(Kim Yu Chan is moving swiftly across the floor.)

(Welcome)

(It's right up her alley.)

(He's so expressive.)

(Bang)

(A dopamine rush)

(Did you see that?)

(He killed it even at the end.)

(Impressed)

- He moved in sync with the music. - Only he can do that.

He's crazy.

He's my rival indeed.

He's good.

Dancer Kim Yu Chan, I enjoyed your dance.

I could feel that you wanted to portray...

"the one opposing death..."

through the many techniques you showcased.

- Am I right? - Yes, you're right.

I also want to thank you...

because I feel like I got to know...

a new side of your personality.

So I hope that this is not the only time that I get to see it.

Thank you.

You worked hard.

He's eloquent too.

(Yu Chan is so cool.)

I certainly think I showed a new side of me.

It raised my hope...

to become the main lead dancer.

Dancer Kim Jong Cheol, please get ready.

- You got this. - You got this.

(Another Korean dancer comes out after Kim Hyo Joon.)

I think the interpretive dance of all Korean dancers will be good.

They know how to show it.

They really do.

(Kim Hyo Joon set the bar high.)

Instead of focusing on the story,

I thought about creating visually striking images.

I felt that creating choreography that complemented the music...

and had impactful moments was more crucial.

I need to deliver a powerful impact.

First position.

I think he'll do a good job.

Music, start.

(What's his interpretive dance with a powerful impact?)

(Looking closely)

Three, two, one. Go.

(Let me see.)

(Exclaiming)

His turns are so good.

(Thinking)

(The main Lead Role Casting Audition for Kim Jong Cheol ends.)

(The judges are nodding quietly after the performance.)

It could've been better in terms of character.

I wish there were something impactful.

(Upset)

(Kim Jong Cheol seems to be disappointed.)

He's disappointed.

- Dancer Kim Jong Cheol. - Yes.

Are you disappointed?

I forgot the moves in the later part.

(During the Interpretive Choreography Audition just now)

I looked confused many times.

So I'm very disappointed.

- Oh, no. - He did well, though.

Honestly, I didn't notice you forgot the moves at all.

It means you made up for it.

But it seems you completely lost your focus...

at the moment you made a mistake.

From that moment on, your movements lacked quality.

Okay. Thank you.

(You still did a good job.)

He must be disappointed.

I was upset, and it hurt my pride.

I was angry at myself.

Next is Dancer Choi Ho Jong. Please get ready.

He's the last one.

The big shot is here.

How great will he be again?

Seriously.

I really like Ho Jong's choreography.

- You do? - It's interesting.

I wanted to portray the character's vulnerability and strength,

while facing a dilemma in the presence of death.

I considered this part to be the climax while preparing.

First position.

Music, start.

(What's his choreography that will become the climax?)

Three, two.

- Here he comes. - One. Go.

(Covering their mouths)

(Exclaiming)

It's choreographed well.

- What? - How is it so clean?

(Everyone cheers.)

I got goosebumps.

This is what I'm talking about.

(Choi Ho Jong's performance ended leaving a strong impact.)

He did a great job.

That was the best choreography.

(Jaw-dropping)

(It was insane, wasn't it?)

(They stand up in awe.)

It's crazy.

I surrender.

He's a monster.

(A dance monster)

Coach Matthew said...

the choreography could be used...

without any modifications.

It captured the appropriate expression and energy...

of a person opposing death.

- I really enjoyed it. - Thank you.

While watching,

I was mind-blown. I was like, "How can he do that?"

It seems you know what the audience likes.

A huge jump could impress the audience too,

but just by stomping your feet,

I could tell what you were trying to deliver.

It was just incredible.

As a fellow dancer, I'd like to thank you...

for showing a choreography like this.

Thank you.

(His choreography received high praises from the judges.)

- It was legendary. - Bravo.

Bravo!

Everyone enjoyed my risky interpretation.

I finally did a successful job.

I was 100 percent sure I'd become the main lead dancer.

Okay. This is a little bit more difficult.

I'll announce the result of the casting audition.

Only 3 of the 5 remaining main lead role candidates...

can become the main lead dancers for the Mega Stage Mission.

I'll announce the result for Dancer Choi Ho Jong first.

- He'll make it. - He'll be selected right away.

I'm confident.

He did such a great job.

(What?)

(What?)

(Nervous)

Dancer Choi Ho Jong...

is cast...

for the main lead role.

(Dancer Choi Ho Jong is cast for the main lead role.)

I knew it!

(It was as expected.)

The reason we cast you...

is because you simply dominated the others.

Thank you for showing a wonderful performance.

I was happy as I would be able to show something amazing.

Next, I'll announce the result for Dancer Kim Jong Cheol.

I think he'll make it.

I want to take the main lead role.

Dancer Kim Jong Cheol...

is...

He might be cast.

(Please)

not cast for the main lead role.

(Dancer Kim Jong Cheol isn't cast for the main lead role.)

(Disappointed)

The reason we didn't cast you...

is you obviously weren't confident...

in your moves.

Automatically, Dancer Kim Jong Cheol...

will take the sub main role.

I was very upset.

I'll announce the result for Dancer Kim Yu Chan.

I should become the main lead dancer.

I think he'll be cast.

Dancer Kim Yu Chan...

is...

Please.

Cast for the main lead role.

(Ballerino Kim Yu Chan is cast for the main lead role.)

(The ballerinos are cheering.)

(You're so cool, Prince.)

Dancer Kim Yu Chan,

your techniques and expressive power stood out.

We believe you can effectively portray...

the character opposing death, which is why we made the decision.

It felt great...

as I thought I made the ballet dancers proud.

Now, there's only one who can take the main lead role.

Among Dancer Yun Hyeok Jung and Dancer Kim Hyo Joon,

one of them will become the main lead dancer,

and the other will become the sub main dancer.

Hyo Joon was very good, though.

- Hyo Joon left a strong impact. - Yes.

I think I'll be very upset if I don't become the main lead dancer.

- It could be Hyeok Jung too. - It's possible.

I should take the main lead role.

I'll announce the result.

Dancer Kim Hyo Joon.

Dancer Kim Hyo Joon...

is...

(Which dancer will be the last one to take the main lead role?)

I'll announce the result.

Dancer Kim Hyo Joon.

Dancer Kim Hyo Joon...

is...

cast for the main lead role.

(Dancer Kim Hyo Joon is cast for the main lead role.)

(Relieved)

(Congratulations on taking the main lead role.)

(It's a good news for the Korean dancers.)

(Dancer Yun Hyeok Jung is cast for the sub lead role.)

(Disappointed)

The reason Dancer Kim Hyo Joon was cast for the main lead role is...

that he showed an exceptional ability to interpret...

and perform the choreography in a unique way.

I was just so happy.

I'm so happy to be cast for the main lead role.

I should accept the result.

It's not easy to become the main lead dancer.

We'll assign roles to the three main lead dancers who were cast.

The one opposing death is Dancer Kim Hyo Joon.

The one fearing death is Dancer Kim Yu Chan.

The one consoling death is Dancer Choi Ho Jong.

I must perform exceptionally well to earn recognition from others.

As I was given the main lead role, I'll do better than anyone.

I want to show a performance I can be satisfied with.

(The results of the main lead role casting)

(The Mega Stage's grand reveal is next week.)
