Boys' dream match, Universe League.

Are you ready?

The performances for Round Two are over.

I will now reveal the theme of Round Three.

(Revealing the theme of Round 3)

Out of the five stages of Universe League's PRISM,

it's "S." Seven.

Seven?

Seven?

In this round, it doesn't matter...

if you're in the starting lineup or on the bench.

What? It doesn't matter?

- Sorry? - "It doesn't matter?"

Only the seven elite players...

can perform onstage.

What?

Each team is to form two units...

and carry out the league match.

If a player is not chosen as 1 of the 7 by the director,

he may not be able to perform onstage.

(The player can't perform in Round 3.)

For real?

What will the rest do?

(The players not chosen)

Are they going home?

Is the player eliminated if they can't perform?

The player who doesn't perform...

will get zero points for the on-site voting.

- What then? - What?

(The rule is now more cruel.)

That's so mean.

In this round, the player can get...

as many individual on-site points as they perform.

Perform two stages,

and both points will be added to the individual score.

Goodness.

Directors. Form the best lineup...

in order to win Round Three.

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

I dearly hope the director...

puts me in at least one song.

All I could think was, "Please pick me."

I may not be able to perform.

It got me worried a bit.

I will perform both stages...

and gain all the points.

(It's dead silent in the locker room after the rule is revealed.)

(The players look extremely nervous.)

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

(The directors are nervous as well.)

As you already know,

the starting lineup and bench mean nothing now.

- Right. - Yes.

- It's now an individual match. - An individual match.

(The players must compete within the team.)

Although you are in TEAM RHYTHM,

it's time to think about yourself now.

- Yes. - Yes.

(Meanwhile, TEAM BEAT's locker room had eliminated players.)

As much...

- as we've cried... - Yes?

We should think about those players,

not give up, and prepare with all we've got.

- Yes. - Yes.

Great work. You all did a wonderful job.

It was amazing.

Until now, we've sailed smoothly.

But from Round Three,

I must choose players...

- who suit the song. - Right.

(Tense)

- Yes. - Yes.

I've already made the decision.

(The Elite 7 is finally announced.)

Of course, some players aren't in either song.

Some players are in both songs.

And some players are in just one song.

- Okay. - Okay.

I'm aware that each and every one of you is important.

But as we're a team,

(The team's victory is more crucial.)

the team...

(An unavoidable decision for the team's victory)

- must succeed. Okay? - Yes.

(They must win by forming the Elite 7.)

To prepare for Round 3, we've prepared 2 songs.

After listening to the songs, we'll announce...

which players will perform which song.

- Okay. - Okay.

The first song is "Roller Coaster."

- "Roller Coaster?" - "Roller Coaster."

(Roller coaster)

- Totally. - Yes.

Okay, let's listen to it.

("Roller Coaster:" A synth-pop song...)

(with a catchy chorus, comparing the mix...)

(of excitement and nervousness to a roller coaster)

(A bright and cute vibe TEAM RHYTHM hasn't shown before)

I love it.

Me too.

(Daisuke loves it.)

(It's right up Zhang Shuaibo's alley.)

It's nice.

(Even the ending is cute.)

- It's great. - It's great.

I love it.

"Roller Coaster" is a really different one,

so I'm really excited.

I'm really looking forward to doing it.

Who wants to perform this song?

- What? - Everyone wants to do it.

Everyone?

(The players are charmed by the cute concept.)

All right. We'll play the next song right away.

Okay.

The title of the next song is "Don't Hit The Brakes."

- I see. - "Don't Hit The Brakes."

Shall we listen to it?

(The 2nd new song starts with a strong intro.)

("Don't Hit The Brakes:" A song with a thrilling beat...)

(and heavy bass sounds, )

(highlighted by energetic chanting in the chorus)

Gosh, that's cool.

- I like this song more. - Same here.

(The players are overpowered by the vibe different from the 1st song.)

(Totally captivated)

I could instantly imagine my voice in the rap part.

Dancing to this song would be cool,

so I wanted to do it.

Who wants to perform this song?

- Me! - Me!

Everyone again?

It's everyone again. Okay.

But be honest.

The two songs are very different, right?

- Yes. - Like the vibe.

We've selected...

the players for "Roller Coaster" first.

(Which 7 players will perform in UNIT 1?)

- I will now announce the names. - Great.

Can I? Okay.

If the concept or style doesn't suit me,

I might not be able to perform.

I felt anxious.

The first player.

JL.

Thank you.

(RHYTHM UNIT 1: JL)

- Daisuke. - What? Thank you.

(RHYTHM UNIT 1: JL, Daisuke)

- Next is Ayumu. - Thank you.

(RHYTHM UNIT 1: JL, Daisuke, Ayumu)

- Xie Yuxin. - Thank you.

(RHYTHM UNIT 1: JL, Daisuke, Ayumu, Xie Yuxin)

Kim Dong Yun.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

Next is Mac.

Thank you.

(Only 1 spot is left in UNIT 1's Elite 7.)

I was nervous, thinking I might not get chosen.

My heart was starting to pound.

- Next is Chih En. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Chih En is good.

(Steven and Zhang Shuaibo weren't called.)

I wasn't happy.

(Becoming more anxious in fear they might not perform)

We've chosen the seven players.

- We'll call out the names. - The names.

Can I? Okay.

I was praying my name would be called.

The first player.

(Who is the 1st player of UNIT 2?)

The first player.

JL.

Thank you.

(RHYTHM UNIT 2: JL)

(JL is performing in both units.)

- Ayumu. - Okay.

(Ayumu is also in both Elite 7s.)

Next is Zen Zen.

(RHYTHM UNIT 2: JL, Ayumu, Zen Zen)

Zen Zen.

(The starting lineup's names are still not being called.)

- Eito. - Yes, thank you.

Nice.

(RHYTHM UNIT 2: JL, Ayumu, Zen Zen, Eito)

Li Zhinuo.

(RHYTHM UNIT 2: JL, Ayumu, Zen Zen, Eito, Li Zhinuo)

Steven.

Thank you.

(RHYTHM UNIT 2: JL, Ayumu, Zen Zen, Eito, Li Zhinuo, Steven)

And the last player is...

(Who is the last player to perform?)

And the last player is Kim Dong Yun.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

Dong Yun is good too.

(Zhang Shuaibo is the only starting lineup not in the Elite 7.)

It was an unexpected result.

I thought I would definitely get chosen.

Three players have not been called, right?

- Can you raise your hand? - Yes.

(The three players unable to perform)

(Hiroto, James, and Zhang Shuaibo)

We have reasons for our decision.

As for Zhang Shuaibo,

you've done many powerful...

and sexy performances.

(Zhang Shuaibo showed off his sexiness and charms...)

(in the previous performances.)

From what we saw, these two songs...

didn't really suit you.

With the image you have,

we think a sexy and sticky song suits you most.

The two songs we have are far from that.

(A decision made as the two songs' concepts don't suit him.)

At that moment, my mind went blank.

Even when the director told me the reason,

it was...

a result I didn't expect.

The reasons are the same for the other players as well.

But the players are not fixed yet.

While practicing for two weeks,

(The Elite 7 can change.)

the player list can change.

If you want to perform in both songs,

- practice both of them. - Okay.

This isn't the final list.

You must overcome your limit.

- Okay. - You get it, right?

So...

So what I think is that I can do both.

The chance was given to me. I will do my best,

make it mine, and show a different side of me.

I will devote my effort and time...

and go for both songs.

Now then, I'll play the first song.

(Revealing the new song of TEAM GROOVE's UNIT 1)

- I'm excited. - Give me a second.

It's a song I prepared to put...

the vibe of GROOVE into reverse.

(TEAM GROOVE has expressed a tough, masculine beauty through "Prison.")

It's a song I prepared to put the vibe of GROOVE into reverse.

(TEAM GROOVE's new song excites the players.)

The title is "Only U."

- Gosh. - "Only U?"

- I'm you. - I'm you.

- "Only U." - "Only U."

"Only you."

I'll play it.

(What's the unexpected charm of "Only U?")

(Amazed)

("Only U:" A song with lyrics capturing the pure feeling...)

(of wanting to confess falling in love at first sight, )

(featuring vocal synths and refreshing beats...)

(that stand out in the chorus)

This is it. I love it.

(The new song has a mellow charm.)

The moment I heard the song, I thought,

"I want to do this song."

"I can pull it off really well."

"This song suits me. It's my song."

It screams Park Han.

The song is really nice.

As I performed songs that felt quite heavy,

I wanted a song I could sing while smiling.

(Everyone is charmed by the bright and sweet vibe of "Only U.")

This song is crazy.

Gosh. It'll make a hit.

(Everyone is charmed by the bright and sweet vibe of "Only U.")

I want to do this song.

- Same here. - I love this song.

(Only you)

(Even the ending was perfect.)

- It's okay. - Goodness.

The song is for you.

Isn't the last part for Kenta?

"Only you."

That's how the song goes.

The second song is "Butterfly."

- "Butterfly." - Nice.

It's another hit.

I'll play it right away.

- Okay. - Okay.

- What? - Gosh.

("Butterfly:" A song featuring...)

(a refreshing and upbeat acoustic guitar sound, )

(a well-structured development, and delicate melodic vocals)

- The chord is amazing. - I want to do it.

It's a song that can nail the refreshing vibe.

I could pull the song off.

"Butterfly" is a perfect match for me.

- Okay. - Please.

In all respects, this is simply to win as a team.

The players I've chosen...

are those I think are the strongest strategically.

That's how I formed the units.

- Okay. - Okay.

All right. The first song, "Only U."

(Revealing the Elite 7 for "Only U")

As I believe "Only U" suits me well,

I want to perform that song.

I wanted him to call out my name.

I had my hopes up.

"Only U."

Kenta.

- Yes. - Kenta.

Han.

(GROOVE UNIT 1: Kenta, Park Han)

- Hee Jun. - I knew it.

Jeong Woo.

(The players get more anxious as more names are called.)

I felt anxious.

(GROOVE UNIT 1: Kenta, Park Han, Kwon Hee Jun, Seo Jeong Woo)

Ju Won.

(GROOVE UNIT 1: Kenta, Han, Hee Jun, Jeong Woo, Ju Won)

Gangdong.

(GROOVE UNIT 1: Kenta, Han, Hee Jun, Jeong Woo, Ju Won, Gangdong)

(Who is the last player for "Only U?")

Junjin.

(GROOVE UNIT 1: Kenta, Han, Hee Jun, Jeong Woo, Ju Won, Gangdong, Junjin)

When the director said the unit was formed with the main forces,

I thought I'd be one of them.

"Butterfly."

(Revealing the Elite 7 for "Butterfly")

- Kenta. - Yes.

(GROOVE UNIT 2: Kenta)

Han.

(GROOVE UNIT 2: Kenta, Park Han)

Sirin.

(GROOVE UNIT 2: Kenta, Park Han, Sirin)

- Joo Hyoung. - Yes.

(Anxious and restless)

(GROOVE UNIT 2: Kenta, Park Han, Sirin, Kim Joo Hyoung)

Hee Jun.

(GROOVE UNIT 2: Kenta, Park Han, Sirin, Kim Joo Hyoung, Kwon Hee Jun)

Sure.

(GROOVE UNIT 2: Kenta, Park Han, Sirin, Kim Joo Hyoung, Kwon Hee Jun)

Han Seo.

(Kenta, Han, Sirin, Joo Hyoung, Hee Jun, Han Seo)

(What a relief.)

(Four names have yet to be called.)

Really? Was that it?

Seriously.

(Who will be the last to be chosen for "Butterfly?")

(Kenta, Han, Sirin, Joo Hyoung, Hee Jun, Han Seo)

And...

Kyung Ho.

(Kenta, Han, Sirin, Joo Hyoung, Hee Jun, Han Seo, Kyung Ho)

(A sigh of relief)

Three people didn't have their names called.

- Gi Joong, Jae Ho, - Here.

- and Dae Yun. - Right.

- Don't lose hope, though. - Got it.

Prove that you are worthy of the stage.

- Sure. I will. - Those performing two songs...

Let's see how you do at the interim check.

(The Elite 7 can change 2 weeks from now at the interim check.)

If I feel like some aren't ready,

- I'll make the switch. - Got it.

- Do you hear me? - Yes.

You must work hard, not just for yourselves...

- but also for your teammates. - Yes.

I will keep my spot no matter what.

My spot and my lines.

I want to do well.

If I lose out on this chance,

I'll get a low score.

That's why I thought...

I couldn't afford to lose this opportunity.

I'll be prepared to perform all sections.

- We have the smallest team. - Right.

We talked about it, and...

(How will the directors divide the 9 players into units?)

Well,

the songs will be performed by the starting lineup.

(The directors will only have the starting lineup perform.)

The seven of them will take on...

- the songs first. - Okay.

There are only nine of us left on the team,

so how could they split us into 2 groups of 7?

It could be done. We had to make it work.

For the team and myself,

it only seemed right for me to perform both songs.

That being said,

we have brought you new songs.

They were written by EL CAPITXN,

- and they're both incredible. - My gosh.

What's the title of the first song?

The first song...

- is "My, My, My." - What?

My, my, my

That's the song.

I spiced it up with some Latin flavor.

It's a mixture of Latin music, hip-hop, and dance.

- My gosh. - Let's listen to it.

("My, My, My:" This song about being infatuated...)

(with someone sexy and mesmerizing...)

(compares a risky yet thrilling love to one's journey through a maze...)

(as the song expresses one's relentless chase.)

(Falling in love with Latin music)

I was waiting for a song...

that would allow me to perform in such a way.

Whether it's Jiang Fan, JL, or Kyung Ho,

I knew I could do just as well as them...

this time around.

Nice.

You can already picture yourselves...

rocking to the beat while moving around.

(Let me in on it.)

Something like that.

(They already find themselves humming the addictive hook.)

(EL CAPITXN's songs never disappoint.)

- That's incredible. - No way.

The overall concept of this song...

has to be sexy.

You need to be a captivating man.

- Right. - Can I unbutton my jersey?

- Well... - Rip our pants more.

- Later. During practice. - Got it.

Let's listen to the next song.

(Excited and curious)

The next song is called "On and On."

I'm already loving the vibe it's giving off. LV!

- "LV?" - What's LV?

The song requires powerful vocals,

solid dancing,

and rap.

It's really on and on, right?

("On and On" requires a harmony of skills.)

- On and on. - There's finally a rap section.

- Finally. - There's a rap.

("On and On:" This song about awakening oneself with music...)

(and letting everything go in a split second...)

(highlights everlasting passion and overflowing drive.)

- This is incredible. - What on earth?

("On and On" begins with powerful group dancing.)

(A surprised An Yul)

(The dynamic performance has everyone in awe.)

(The smile of a parent)

The song was designed to put on a performance,

and that's something I know I can do.

"On and On" was totally up my alley.

(Bouncing Jin Ho)

(Jin Ho's moving to the beat.)

(Creaking)

That was incredible.

(EL CAPITXN rocked.)

- Yes! - Yes!

- I'm loving that vibe. - It's focused on the dance.

For this song, you'll have to dance...

- like there's no tomorrow. - Right.

- Do you get it? - Yes.

My life depends on this.

I'll be working on this like it's the last thing I do.

It wasn't about wanting to win anymore.

I was going to win.

(The Final Seven Draft: D-14)

(They start practicing to be drafted as the Elite 7.)

I was given the opportunity,

so I was going to do my best to make this my own.

I only thought about how I couldn't afford to lose this opportunity.

Chang Sub gave me this section for a reason.

I'll do my best not to disappoint them.

(The reserves are trying to steal the spots from the Elite 7.)

"You should've called my name."

That's what I wanted to prove.

I want to show Director Lee Chang Sub...

that he was wrong.

Director Lee, you were wrong.

All I thought about was performing...

in one of the songs.

(The Final Seven Draft)

(The Final Seven Draft)

(The Final Seven Draft: D-Day)

- This is more nerve-racking. - I agree.

(The Final Seven Draft: D-Day)

I'm nervous.

(TEAM GROOVE gathers on the day of the final draft...)

(as tensions run high.)

(Nervous)

- Hello. - Hi.

- Hi, guys. - Hi.

It's been a while.

All right. First, I'm calling the seven that are performing...

- "Only U." - Okay.

- The seven of you, step forward. - Got it.

(Ju Won, Jeong Woo, Han, Hee Jun, Kenta, Junjin, Gangdong)

Get ready.

(Checking the performance of "Only U")

(They get ready while tensions run high onstage.)

- I'm nervous to the core. - This is nerve-racking.

Only you

(The intro begins with Park Han's refreshing vocals.)

Only you

You're the one I wanted

Share the vibe, you feel it too, then it's all right

(Park Ju Won's shaky voice)

What should I do? I'm clueless

Only you

The one I dreamed of

(He lacks confidence on the high notes.)

(Well...)

For me, it's only you

Only you

Okay.

(Silence falls in the auditorium after their performance.)

Sing "Only you" for me.

Only you

Place a finger here as you sing.

Only you

Jeong Woo, I see the notes are too high for you.

Yes, they're a bit too high.

I could tell I was in danger.

(He checks on Park Ju Won next.)

Sing that for me.

As our eyes meet

(Park Ju Won is off-key.)

As our eyes

As our eyes

You can't hit that note.

My vocals were my weak point,

so I worked hard...

to make it my strength.

However, I wasn't able...

to show him the work I had put in.

- Why don't you get up onstage? - Sure.

(Those aiming for a spot come up onstage to be tested.)

(Anxious and nervous)

Okay.

- Han Seo, step forward. - Okay.

(Koo Han Seo is the first to take on the challenge.)

(Nervous)

Let's go.

(Koo Han Seo confidently performs the rap section.)

I'm sorry for being shy

- Okay. - Thank you.

- Gi Joong - Here.

(Next up is Kim Gi Joong.)

I wanted to be acknowledged.

Rather than being acknowledged, I wanted to prove myself.

Only you

The one I dreamed of

(Focused)

As our eyes meet for 0.5 seconds

(They worry about losing their spot to someone else.)

- Okay. - Thank you.

- Joo Hyoung. - Here.

(Next up is Kim Joo Hyoung.)

(Nervous)

Only you, the one I dreamed of

Every, every, everything

Every, every, everything is you

Relax a little.

Only you

(Being nervous, he was too tense while singing.)

Always, it's you

Always, it's you

- Okay. - Thank you.

I wasn't satisfied...

because I thought I hadn't done well.

Do you practice...

breathing for singing?

- Yes. - Yes.

It doesn't sound that way.

If you want to be greedy,

prove yourself.

What were you trying to prove with your performance just now?

(What were you trying to prove with your performance just now?)

Are you slacking off...

- because you already won twice? - No.

- No. - No.

Have the two small victories gone to your head already?

(He criticizes them harshly for their lack of practice.)

We won't be able to win.

Not with you performing like that.

I worked hard,

but none of that showed,

which means I should've worked harder.

It hit me that I could be thrown out of this unit.

I was angry with myself.

How should I put it? I guess I was disappointed.

I worked hard so that I could prove to Director Lee...

that he made a mistake not choosing me.

Team "Only U," take the stage.

(After much consideration, )

(Director Lee Chang Sub calls Team "Only U" to the stage.)

Only one member on Team "Only U" will be swapped out.

Just one.

(Who will be swapped out of Team "Only U?")

Jeong Woo.

(Seo Jeong Woo will not get to perform "Only U.")

What you lacked...

couldn't stay hidden in this song,

even after you got to sing different sections.

- Right. - That's why I'm swapping you out.

- Jeong Woo, step down. - Okay.

(Seo Jeong Woo leaves the stage as he'll not be drafted.)

(Now that Jeong Woo was cut from the unit, )

(the others have a chance to fill his slot.)

(Han Seo, )

(get up there.)

- Han Seo, get up there. - Me?

(Team "Only U" swaps Seo Jeong Woo for Koo Han Seo.)

Han Seo will perform "Only U" instead.

This is the team that'll perform "Only U."

- That's final. - Okay.

You might be given different sections though.

Work like your life depends on it.

- Got it. - Absolutely.

- I'll work hard. - Okay.

(Their fates change at the final draft for TEAM GROOVE.)

Have you been well?

- Yes. - Yes.

I hope...

that you can show us the hard work you put in.

- Okay. - Okay.

Okay. First, let's see...

"My, My, My."

- Okay. - Go, team!

(The song begins with Woong Ki...)

(who holds the center position of the group.)

All day, your scent lingers

(Hyo Tae's pitch and breathing are unstable.)

You got me so hot like summer

(His unexpected gaze)

(I like that.)

I actually prefer this.

- Thank you. - It was way better.

Jin Ziming and Li Zhiwei.

- Yes? - Let's see you perform.

My goal today...

is to be chosen as 1 of the Elite 7.

I knew I could do it.

Members of TEAM BEAT, watch out.

I will get this song.

(Li Zhiwei is up first.)

You can't fool me

(Nervous)

Pull it, keep it up, keep it up, louder

Risk everything for me

(Li Zhiwei practiced the song by giving it his all.)

Thank you.

- Good job. - Thanks.

(Next up is Jin Ziming.)

My, my, my

I got dumb, chasing frantically and endlessly

Pull it, keep it up, keep it up, louder

(Doing his best)

(Focused)

Catch and hide it

(Jin Ziming did his best to let them see his work.)

Thank you.

Good job.

EL CAPITXN and I...

will talk it over and decide on the Elite Seven.

Good job, guys.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(Will the 2 be able to join the Elite 7?)

(The two directors are contemplating.)

(They must decide wisely...)

(since the team's fate depends on their choice.)

Right. Well...

To be honest, in terms of their singing tones,

the two are not too bad.

- However, they're a group, - Right.

Which means the members must dance in unison.

Shall we go with these seven, then?

(Who will be the Elite 7 performing "My, My, My?")

EL CAPITXN and I talked it over.

(The directors are done discussing.)

- Okay. - But...

(Nervous)

To be honest,

- Li Zhiwei and Jin Ziming... - Yes?

Your singing was stabler than Hyo Tae's singing.

That's what we had to consider.

However, your performance as a team...

is just as important.

That includes being harmonious.

Since Do Yoon and Hyo Tae...

fit the team better,

we agreed to stick with the starting lineup.

- Sure. - Got it.

Thank you.

(There will be no changes to Team "My, My, My.")

- Hyo Tae. - Yes?

- You're singing the final chorus. - Yes.

You can't afford to present...

- a shaky performance. - Okay.

Can you sing that for us again?

All day, your scent lingers

(He sings in a shaky voice.)

It sounds unstable.

- Right. - The falsetto section is also weak.

It sounds shaky as you transition into your chest voice,

which is why we're all...

We can only enjoy the song when there isn't any tension,

but we couldn't because of it.

Hyo Tae and Woong Ki.

You both have a limit you have set for yourselves.

You have drawn a line.

It's important for you to go beyond that.

(They must break the limit they have set for themselves.)

If I'm being honest,

I'm not all that satisfied.

Because of our situation...

Because we don't have better options,

the seven of you are the starting lineup.

There's something...

you must clearly be aware of.

Don't think you're part of the starting lineup...

because you're that good.

- Right. - Do you understand?

That's the mindset you should have during practice sessions.

- Okay. - Got it.

What I just saw was too basic.

Anyone could perform at that level.

I believe you must analyze your traits...

and show people how unique you are.

(It's time to show their own charms onstage!)

We can't have any regrets.

We can't have any more regrets.

- Right. - Right.

Right?

You each have to be equipped with your own weapon...

to show what you have.

(How will TEAM BEAT solve this issue?)

- Okay. - Okay.

- So... - Let's start with "Roller Coaster."

- Okay. - Okay.

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

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

Okay.

(The interim check for the starting lineup of "Roller Coaster")

(The 1st draft for "Roller Coaster:")

(Chih En, Mac, Daisuke, Kim Dong Yun, Xie Yuxin, JL, Ayumu)

(UNIT 1's final members can change with this performance.)

Are you all ready?

- Yes. - Yes.

Okay.

(Looking intently)

In the pulse that's getting bigger

There's a loop that can't be stopped

(Looking bright)

(Daisuke's smile disarms the directors.)

You drive me up, 2, 1

You got my all

A good feeling brushes past me

Make me fall

(His voice cracks while singing with unstable notes.)

Make me fall

Oh, you better change up

You are my roller coaster

You are unpredictable

Go up

I love it

And go down

I don't know why

You are my roller coaster

Baby, you take me higher

(They evaluate them carefully to find the final 7 members.)

Make me tap it up

You wake my heart up

It was... Well...

(Hesitating)

(Worried)

I think...

there is a need for change with the members.

I saw a greater possibility of me performing.

Right. I said this before as well.

The seven members still haven't been fixed.

After seeing today's performance...

We placed second twice.

We have to get first place once,

but I don't think we can with this sort of performance.

So... Hold on. We'll discuss it...

and get back to you.

- Okay. - Okay.

(TEAM RHYTHM's directors get into a serious discussion.)

(Curious)

I wasn't able to fully show them what I prepared.

I was a bit worried.

(I was worried about getting removed from the lineup.)

Well...

We decided on the player that will get replaced.

(Thinking)

I did feel really nervous.

I will call out the name.

(Which player will get replaced?)

Kim Dong Yun.

(First candidate for getting replaced: Kim Dong Yun)

Okay.

- Ayumu. - Yes.

(Ayumu gets called as well.)

- Mac. - Yes.

(Mac gets called as well.)

(The final draft is filled with nervousness.)

(Last candidate for getting replaced)

- Xie Yuxin. - Yes.

Yes.

The other three...

(JL, )

(Daisuke, Chih En)

have passed for now.

But you still need to practice a lot more.

- Right. Thank you. - I think you will do well...

if you work on the singing.

You three can come down.

Okay.

If there is anyone who wants to challenge these four,

you can go up.

Stand behind the member you want to replace.

- Okay. - Okay.

All right.

(Rushing out)

- Gosh. - Oh, my gosh.

(The reserves stand behind the member they want to replace.)

Dong Yun's dancing was a bit disappointing.

I saw his performance, and he seemed to lack the skills.

(I wanted to challenge Mac.)

It'll be better to compare the members to the challengers.

We'll see who is the better fit...

and decide on the member once again.

- Okay. - Then...

we'll start with Kim Dong Yun.

- Yes. - We'll start with that line.

Okay.

I thought that I had to show more of my charms...

than the ones who stood behind me.

I worked really hard,

so I was confident.

(Will the starting lineup position be kept...)

(or taken away?)

(The performance of the three begins.)

Countdown, ready

You're certainly different

I've never felt this excited

Going to be so nice

In the pulse that's getting bigger

There's a loop that can't be stopped

The thrill is on you

(Working hard with his facial expressions)

Make me tap it up

You wake my heart up

You wake my heart up

(Zhang Shuaibo showed his own gestures and facial expressions.)

(Torn)

First of all, I liked Zhang Shuaibo's idea.

Your gestures and facial expressions...

went well with this song.

We'll need more time.

Yes. We'll need more time to think about it.

Let's go with the second line.

- Let's go with the second line. - Mac's line.

(Steven and Zen Zen want to take Mac's position.)

I wondered if this song would suit me.

But I thought it was a chance to show a new side of me,

so I felt confident.

(Equipping himself with brightness)

Countdown, ready

You're certainly different

I've never felt this excited

Going to be so nice

Make me tap it up

You wake my heart up

(The first time Steven has revealed his bright ending pose)

The ending pose as well. Okay.

Thank you!

We'll see everyone perform and decide later.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(The second performance also ends without a decision.)

(The last performance begins.)

You better change up

You wake my heart up

This one is hard to decide on.

Well...

It has to be someone that gets more attention.

The one who gets the camera points.

I think that will be more important.

We came up with the new seven members of "Roller Coaster."

We will announce it right away.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Kim Dong Yun. I'm sorry. - Yes.

- Please come down. - Thank you.

(Kim Dong Yun is removed.)

And in his place...

(The member that will replace Kim Dong Yun)

Zhang Shuaibo, please go up.

Thank you.

(Scurrying)

Right.

And...

thank you, Mac. I'm sorry.

(Mac comes down from the stage.)

And...

Steven, please go up.

Thank you.

(Striding)

Just these two members will be replaced.

This will be the final seven for "Roller Coaster."

Good luck!

- Thank you. - We will work hard.

- Thank you. - Steven and Zhang Shuaibo,

you two have to work even harder.

- Okay. - Okay.

I worked really hard to practice.

I want to be able to do both songs.

(I want to be able to do both songs.)

(2 weeks later)

(The players look nervous for the final league match.)

(MC Jay Park appears to announce the start of Round 3.)

Hello, everyone.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

After Round Two,

the first elimination had occurred in Universe League.

(Eliminations from receiving 2 yellow cards)

Five players from TEAM BEAT were eliminated.

Currently, TEAM RHYTHM has four yellow cards.

TEAM GROOVE has one yellow card.

(TEAM GROOVE has 1 yellow card.)

TEAM BEAT has three yellow cards.

(TEAM GROOVE has 3 yellow cards.)

For Round Three,

yellow cards and trade tickets will be given out once again.

If you receive two yellow cards during a league match,

you will be eliminated right away.

(You will be eliminated right away with 2 yellow cards.)

The last league match, Round Three.

Seven.

(The theme of the last league match)

A battle of pride between the seven elite players...

of each team.

From the starting lineup or bench,

the directors have come up with 2 units of 7.

(The directors have come up with 2 units of 7.)

The team ranking of this round...

will be decided by the scores of the on-site and online votes...

of the players that perform.

(On-site and online votes will be added to decide the winning team.)

When a player performs twice,

that player's on-site score...

and online score will be added...

to the team's score twice.

(Their votes will be added twice.)

Hey, who was in first place for the previous round?

Woong Ki was in 1st place, and JL was in 2nd place, right?

(The total ranking)

Everyone,

the competition isn't over.

With the scores of Rounds 1, 2, and 3 added,

the final team ranking of the league match will be decided.

With the results of Round Three, the final team ranking...

can be changed.

I will now reveal the lineups of each team.

(Which Seven will represent each team?)

Here's the lineup of TEAM BEAT.

This team was the hardest to predict.

I think a lot of members will perform twice.

(Unlike the other teams, there are only 9 of them in total.)

TEAM BEAT's UNIT ONE.

(The 1st player of TEAM BEAT's UNIT 1)

(Cha Woong Ki)

Cha Woong Ki.

(As expected)

Keum Jin Ho.

Kairi.

They are all the expected members.

Yuito. Kim Hyo Tae.

Nam Do Yoon.

And lastly, An Yul.

(Surprised)

It's the whole starting lineup.

As we're at the edge of the cliff,

we thought that we had to come up with a lineup...

that could win no matter what.

That was how these seven were chosen.

(The 7 of TEAM BEAT's UNIT 1)

I could really feel...

that the director of TEAM BEAT...

really wanted to win.

With our teamwork, we will make sure to do well.

This is the lineup of TEAM GROOVE.

(The 7 of TEAM GROOVE's UNIT 1)

TEAM GROOVE's UNIT ONE.

(The 7 of TEAM GROOVE's UNIT 1)

I'm the most curious about this team.

Kenta.

(The 1st member of TEAM GROOVE's UNIT 1, Kenta)

Park Ju Won.

Park Ju Won!

(Kwon Hee Jun)

Kwon Hee Jun.

- Park Han. - Park Han.

(Feeling anxious with the appearance of talented players)

He Junjin.

Koo Han Seo.

And lastly,

Yeo Gangdong.

(Seo Jeong Woo was replaced by Koo Han Seo.)

- What? - That was unexpected.

(Seo Jeong Woo and Jang Kyung Ho from the starting lineup...)

(have been taken out from UNIT 1.)

That is a strong team.

(TEAM GROOVE is a strong team.)

The members have been placed to secure all wins.

Our team has a lot of different colors,

so I made a bold move with the lineup.

(TEAM GROOVE has set up members with different charms, )

(with 4 from the starting lineup and 3 from the bench.)

TEAM GROOVE has a strong bench as well,

so I felt a bit intimidated.

Great. I will look forward to their performance.

(Will TEAM GROOVE's plan work out?)

Lastly, this is the lineup of TEAM RHYTHM.

(Looking intently)

What was the standard...

behind selecting your Seven?

(Curious)

TEAM RHYTHM ended up in second place...

for Round 1 and Round 2.

We're confident about taking the win this time.

TEAM RHYTHM's UNIT ONE.

- JL. - As expected.

JL has to start.

Zhang Shuaibo.

Steven.

They won't be easy to face.

Chih En.

- We're in trouble. - That's a strong competitor.

Daisuke.

Isn't that the whole starting lineup?

Are they set up just like us?

That can't happen.

(The other members of TEAM RHYTHM's UNIT 1)

Ayumu. And lastly,

Xie Yuxin.

There are five players from the starting lineup.

All of them are really popular.

They are all determined.

They are determined to win no matter what.

- They are the Avengers. - Right.

Let's take first place.

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

TEAM RHYTHM was my biggest concern.

I knew how talented the players of TEAM RHYTHM were,

and that was why I felt more concerned about them.

Which team will finish with a smile at the end of the league?

(Which team will be the final winner?)

I will make sure to take first place no matter what today.

I think we've prepared ourselves well,

so I think we will be able to perform well.

As it's the last league match,

we want to show everyone a big comeback.

This is the last match.

It's the last match before the live show,

so I can't be all smiles.

- My heart feels heavy now. - Right.

Go and prove yourselves.

- Right. - Right.

It'll be a waste to lose everything you've practiced for.

Right.

"This is who I am."

- Have this mindset. - Okay.

- Got it? - Yes!

Here.

If you can't focus on your singing while dancing here,

I think it'll be better to go with your gestures...

without dancing.

- Okay. - Make sure...

to show your chemistry with one another.

I hope that you will perform with a lot more sincerity.

- Okay. - Make sure to encourage each other.

- Okay. - Okay.

We have to win this time.

- Okay! - Okay!

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

This is what I think.

You have done well...

to receive our feedback.

You just need to do well onstage today.

- Good luck. - Okay.

(After the audience entered, )

(Round 3 officially began.)

Hello.

(Steven, Chih En)

(A warm...)

(welcome)

Welcome to Universe League.

I'm MC Jay Park. Nice to meet you.

(It's great to see you.)

With the Elite Seven,

the final league match will begin right now.

Are you ready?

Let's all gather around.

(It's TEAM GROOVE's time to get onstage.)

I felt certain in Rounds 1 and 2.

But I'm not sure about this round.

All I can do is trust all of you.

Right.

All right.

Let's do this.

- Just don't leave any regrets. - Okay.

Good luck with Round Three.

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

(Let's go, TEAM GROOVE!)

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

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

(TEAM GROOVE's members cheer each other up as one.)

- Good luck, Han. - Let's go!

Shall we start with the first unit's performance?

TEAM GROOVE's UNIT ONE, please come out!

As I have come to TEAM GROOVE,

I want to be of help.

I will make TEAM GROOVE a team that stays in first place.

TEAM GROOVE has never lost...

and has stayed at the top.

I want to keep it that way.

Hello.

Hello.

(Is my favorite player here?)

- Hello. - Hello.

(Hi.)

(She spots her favorite.)

(Park Han!)

(TEAM GROOVE's UNIT 1 is dressed with suits as white as snow.)

Hello.

(TEAM GROOVE's UNIT 1 is dressed with suits as white as snow.)

All right.

Please start by greeting the audience.

In 5, 6, 7, 8.

(Clip-clop)

(Horse Kenta makes a late start.)

(Neighing)

The Charming Princes are coming this winter.

(The return of the Charming Princes)

They look like the princes of winter.

The snow princes.

Hello, I am the First Love from Japan.

I'm Kenta.

(The First Love from Japan, Kenta)

Kenta!

Hello, I am the baby tiger that has appeared in Universe League.

I'm Park Ju Won.

(All-rounder Park Ju Won, Kenta)

I'm here once again to turn on your green lights.

I'm Yeo Gangdong.

TEAM GROOVE's second vocalist.

I'm He Junjin, the super puppy.

I'm Universe League's main rapper, Koo Han Seo.

(Koo Han Seo)

Hello, I'm the all-rounder Park Han who can do everything well.

(Park Han)

Hello, I am Kwon Hee Jun...

who wants to be your hand warmer this winter.

(That's hot!)

The princes are here! They look great!

They cannot get a bad reaction with those looks.

TEAM GROOVE has its distinct color.

Right.

TEAM GROOVE has placed first twice so far.

Do you think you will take first place...

once again?

Yes. A fight is all about confidence.

We will keep this confidence and take the win again.

(That's impressive!)

But wasn't he on TEAM BEAT during their first win?

- Right. - Right.

(You must've forgotten already, )

(but you started with TEAM BEAT.)

- He didn't win all the time. - He won once and lost once.

(You weren't on TEAM GROOVE from the start.)

All right. Hee Jun.

What kind of performance have you prepared for us today?

The song we have prepared...

is called "Only U." This song...

is based on a confession of love.

The members of TEAM GROOVE's...

UNIT ONE are ready...

to make an amazing confession of love to all of you.

Please give us lots of attention and love.

- Okay. Great. - We will!

Ju Won. This is your first performance...

after being traded from RHYTHM to GROOVE.

- Oh, no. - Oh, no.

(Full of sadness)

- Oh, no. - Oh, Ju Won.

(Our Ju Won...)

How did it feel...

to be on a new team?

Were you able to adjust well?

Well... Because GROOVE is a team with strong vocalists,

it was really hard at first.

But now that I think about it, I'm really proud...

because it became a chance for me to level up.

Very nice.

We should bring him back.

(We should bring him back!)

He leveled up.

(What magic did Director Chang Sub show?)

This must be the final team, right?

I've joined, everyone. Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Looking at the fixed members, I'm getting a good feeling.

Everyone fits "Only U" well.

(The players fit the image of the song well.)

Let's do our best.

- Sounds good. - Yes.

I have a good idea.

We're TEAM GROOVE, right?

How about we use handheld mics?

- That's nice. - Handheld mics?

That's TEAM GROOVE's specialty.

(Handheld mics let them show off their vocal abilities.)

Does anyone have zero experience with handheld mics?

- I've never used one before. - Me.

Only at karaoke...

- That's an experience too. - Oh, okay.

So I'm very worried.

It's hard. It is.

- We'll have to practice a lot. - But you...

I think TEAM RHYTHM practiced the performance aspect more.

I felt that TEAM GROOVE practiced...

the vocal aspect more.

(Starting practice with their handheld mics)

- Let's start with the sitting part. - Yes, let's do that.

Only you

(The experienced players are fine with the handheld mic.)

One, two, three

I was going to appear

(Making mistakes he usually doesn't make)

(Empty-handed, Empty-handed, Mic, Empty-handed, Empty-handed)

- Gosh. - There are three things...

to think about. Dancing, singing, and the mic.

We'll need to change all of the gestures.

So hard. In-ears were much more comfortable.

How do I know which hand to hold the mic with?

So the default is to hold the mic with your left hand.

Only hold it with your right hand when you need to.

Oh, I didn't learn the basics correctly.

What should I do? The left hand is so uncomfortable.

I need to care about singing.

I need to care about dancing.

I need to care about which hand to hold the mic with.

My head felt so...

confused and dizzy.

With handheld mics, we need to change all of the gestures, right?

Isn't that easier? I'm more comfortable with one hand.

Oh, really?

I'm more comfortable holding the mic with my right hand.

- Your right hand? - Yes.

It'll be good to change that.

Like this...

("Only U" has many moves using the right hand.)

We have many moves using the right side.

They're mostly on the right.

So you have to hold the mic with your left hand.

So...

Make it a habit!

(Practicing is the only way to make it a habit.)

(The mic doesn't know where to go.)

(Oh, right!)

(Right hand?)

(Keep it in my left hand!)

(After repeated practice, )

(he slowly got used to the handheld mic.)

Ju Won. That part.

"Only you." That part needs to pop out.

- Only you - It's too weak.

- Yes. - Okay.

You need to show a completely different side...

that you didn't show when you were on TEAM RHYTHM.

(Unexpected feedback about his vocal expression)

It was my first performance on a new team.

To be honest, this performance...

was the performance I was most worried about...

out of all of my performances on Universe League.

My body can't keep up with the practice schedule.

My voice is so hoarse.

Just breathing hurts.

(His voice isn't in good condition for singing.)

- Because I have to do it a lot. - Right.

I was coaching the guys on their singing all day yesterday.

(Han volunteered as the vocal coach for the members once again.)

Every, every, everything is you

(He had to use his voice more than the other members.)

(As the main vocalist of the team, Han has many high parts.)

(Singing hard)

Only you

I wasn't at my limit, but I felt it was getting worse.

I didn't know that I had a limit either.

I guess I had never used my voice that much before.

So as each day went on,

my throat was starting to suffer.

(Director Chang Sub came by to do a final check.)

(They show off the performance they practiced.)

(Satisfied)

(Next up is Han, the main vocalist's part)

(Director Chang Sub face becomes serious.)

(And the last check came to a close.)

Okay.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

The choreography became much neater...

than when I saw it on video.

- Thank you. - Your moves are stronger now.

It was very nice to see.

- Han. - Yes.

Protect your voice.

- Okay? - Yes.

- You need to protect your voice. - Okay.

(Chang Sub noticed the condition of Han's throat right away.)

- Especially when you have a cold. - Yes.

When you have a cold,

singing too much will delay recovery.

- Okay. - Okay?

You need to protect your voice more.

Take care of it.

I believe I have lots of responsibility.

My team depends on this.

I can't let my team lose.

I'm going to do whatever I can...

and just go through it.

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

TEAM GROOVE, are you ready?

- Yes! - Let's go.

- Park Han! - You can do it!

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

- Let's see. - Our rivals.

- "Only U." - We were saying to each other,

"Let's just beat TEAM GROOVE."

We're not interested...

- in beating TEAM RHYTHM at all. - Right.

Just TEAM GROOVE.

(We'll be watching, TEAM GROOVE.)

I'm excited to see Ju Won.

- Hey. - Oh, my.

I plan to just go through it.

I'll do my best to keep our number one spot again.

- Let's go, Ju Won! - It's starting.

- Let's go, Han Seo! - Ready?

- Go. - Oh, my.

(Let's debut, Gangdong.)

Oh, my. Look at Kenta's face.

("Only U," by He Junjin, Kenta, Koo Han Seo, )

(Kwon Hee Jun, Park Han, Park Ju Won, Yeo Gangdong)

He's so good.

So cute.

Oh, Junjin.

Hey.

Han is really good at this part.

Han is really good.

He's like your first love from Japan who comes running from the snow.

Oh, Ju Won.

(Kenta)

(Kenta)

Oh, look at that.

Nice.

Good job!

(A subtle smile of satisfaction)

Oh, so cute.

(We knew you'd do well again today.)

(Proud)

That was clean.

I think Han was the identity of "Only U."

His voice suited "Only U" really well.

I thought, "TEAM GROOVE sure is great."

I was worried that TEAM GROOVE would get...

first place again.

Ju Won still has that TEAM RHYTHM feel.

Very much.

- Good job. - Han Seo.

Okay. Shall we begin the vote?

If you liked this player's performance,

please press O.

If you weren't satisfied, please press the X button.

- Please vote for me. - Okay!

(A cheek heart)

(Kenta)

You're so handsome, Kenta!

Please vote for me.

I love you, Ju Won!

I love you too.

(Exchanging confessions of love)

- Han! - Han, I love you!

(Responding with a sweet song like the main vocalist he is)

(Park Han, you are my light. Your voice is a cultural heritage.)

Thank you. I love you.

Han.

- Yes! - Hurry up and vote!

- Okay. - Come on.

(The votes shoot up as much as their affection)

Three, two, one.

The vote is now over.

That was TEAM GROOVE, everyone.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

(Park Han, Vote for Gangdong and Junjin.)

(Next up is TEAM BEAT.)

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

Crush it.

I can do well, right?

Come here. Let's do a cheer.

Come on.

Let's have no injuries...

- and no regrets today. - Okay.

- Show them. - Okay.

In 1, 2, 3.

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

(Let's go, TEAM BEAT!)

- Let's go, TEAM BEAT! - Let's go.

Save my life.

- Save my life. - Okay.

- Save my life. - Okay.

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

- Don't worry. - Let's go.

- Let's go. - Don't worry.

Let's go.

Okay. Now, we'll invite TEAM BEAT onto the stage.

Please come up, TEAM BEAT.

(Curious)

(Excited)

We have nowhere to back down now.

I want to show everyone that we're an even stronger seven now.

Let's go!

(TEAM BEAT's first unit made up of starting players!)

(Seo Jeong Woo, Cha Woong Ki)

(Cha Woong Ki)

(TEAM BEAT came onstage wearing suits.)

They look so cool.

- Bodyguard style. - Cha Woong Ki.

Good.

Woong Ki looks much better with black hair.

You're right. I was wondering what had changed. He dyed his hair.

I've never seen him with black hair.

Black hair suits him so well.

Black hair suits him so well.

TEAM BEAT. Please introduce yourselves first.

Two, three.

- Vibing. - Vibing.

(TEAM BEAT's never-before-seen sexy side)

- Hello! We're TEAM BEAT! - We're TEAM BEAT!

(I love it.)

(Surprised)

Hello. I'm Nam Do Yoon, the sexy sloth.

"The sexy sloth."

Hello. I'm Yuito, the sexy rabbit.

I'm An Yul, the sexy squirrel.

You're so handsome!

I'm Keum Jin Ho, the sexy shark.

(From land to sea, we have all of their animal look-alikes.)

I'm Kim Hyo Tae, the sexy frog.

Hello! I'm Cha Woong Ki, the sexy puppy.

(Cha Woong Ki)

Hello. I'm Kairi, the sexy white tiger.

Kairi kind of became more manly.

Yes.

All right. Kairi.

What song will TEAM BEAT perform to get the win?

It's a song produced by Director EL CAPITXN...

called, "My, My, My."

It's a song...

about risking everything you have for the person you love.

Until now, we have shown you our boyish side.

Today, from our outfits to the choreography,

we plan to show you our fatally sexy side.

Okay.

(From outfits to choreography, their concept is fatally sexy.)

- You're all showing a bit of skin. - Yes.

- Yes, a bit. - I like it.

(They're even showing some skin for the concept!)

Look at their outfits today.

Oh, that's strong.

- Oh, my. - Oh, my.

Their outfits are so strong.

Their outfits are really cool. I was so surprised.

(Ready with suits that accent their fatal sexiness!)

- And Woong Ki. - Yes.

I heard TEAM BEAT faced trouble while preparing for this stage.

What trouble did you face?

Yes, well...

Our team always faced...

adversity and hardship.

This time...

(What trouble did TEAM BEAT face?)

(TEAM BEAT's practice room)

- Let's try it again. - Thank you.

Let's try it again.

(After selecting the final members, TEAM BEAT is practicing.)

(But there are only 6 people in the practice room?)

- My, my, my - My, my, my

(Woong Ki arrived later!)

- Woong Ki! - Hello.

- Woong Ki. - Hello.

(He comes in looking worn out...)

What's wrong?

(Woong Ki is always so energetic. He seems different from usual.)

Are you unwell?

You seem a bit sick today.

- What? - What is that?

(Woong Ki has bandages on?)

- What is this? - I didn't hurt a bone or anything.

(Serious)

I just...

I went to the emergency room early in the morning.

- Why? - What happened?

What's wrong?

So yesterday,

we were recording until late at night, right?

My throat was so tired,

- so I was boiling some water... - No way.

And I spilled it on myself.

- Hey! - I spilled it on myself.

- I'm so... - Oh, no.

- That's scary. - So yesterday...

Are you okay?

I boiled water in a pot, and then I spilled it on my leg.

The pot actually touched my leg.

(Woong Ki went to the emergency room and got treated right away.)

(He got burns on his thigh and the back of his hand.)

- That must hurt so much. - So from here to there...

- The thigh? - Oh, no.

(Flustered by the serious injury)

What now?

We had to leave at 9am...

for the choreography lesson.

But I couldn't find Woong Ki.

I thought...

he simply didn't feel well.

But he looked more serious...

than expected.

I was worried a lot.

I shouldn't dance for about two weeks.

But the competition is...

- Right. - in two weeks.

(They only have 2 weeks left until Round 3.)

No liquid, including my own sweat, should touch it for two weeks.

Dancing is also not allowed.

The more it gets infected,

the more time it'll take to recover.

I was told to treat it well in the early stages.

The doctor said two weeks.

So focus on your treatment to reduce that period.

- Two days instead of two weeks? - Yes, let's reduce it.

- Don't feel pressured. - Right.

It's not like I can't dance at all.

No, don't dance at all.

I want you to focus on your recovery.

- I will. - Go home.

(Killing the mood)

- Go home and lie down. - No, I'm here already.

(Still, since I'm here, I might as well practice.)

I heard a few changes were made...

during my absence.

There are quite a few.

(Quite a few changes)

- But you should be fine. - There are also new moves.

Just that part...

I want to...

dance with them so badly.

But it hurts so much even when I'm standing.

(Woong Ki can barely stay standing.)

So...

since I can't practice dancing due to my injury,

I decided to focus on practicing my vocals...

to show an improvement.

It looks like TEAM BEAT is...

in a tough spot,

but...

it's Woong Ki.

Because it's Woong Ki,

I believe he will pull it off.

Because it's Woong Ki,

I believe he'll pull off...

the choreography and the details.

(Because they believe Woong Ki will return, )

(they focus on practicing with Woong Ki in mind.)

(A few days later)

There should be memorable points.

I want to show that we're TEAM BEAT and that we're good.

Any ideas?

(They're thinking about an impressive performance.)

- Anything? - Maybe...

a memorable pose?

We should come up with one.

What if we all dye our hair blue?

That's a good idea.

Or we could use a flag.

- That's a good idea. - I like that.

We kept thinking about...

something...

that only we could do.

Using a prop will...

already impress people.

I think the audience will like it.

(This performance)

To be honest,

it's our weapon.

- That's a good idea. - I like it.

We can make that possible.

I like it.

(Round 3)

(Sighing deeply)

Can we do it?

(Can we perform?)

(Woong Ki still hasn't returned to the practice room.)

- Oh, what? - Hi.

(Peeking)

- Oh, what? - Hi.

(Woong Ki visits the practice studio after a while.)

- Finally. - No way.

Hello.

Good to see you again.

Wait. Stop jumping.

- Stop jumping. - Well done.

You look okay now.

Fortunately, I recovered quickly.

I was able to get rid of the bandage.

I can move freely now.

Does that mean you can dance now?

I can't...

dance powerfully...

like before yet,

but I can still join the group practice.

I'm glad to hear that.

- That's a relief. - That's good. I'm glad.

We have to perform in three days,

but I can still perform.

(The doctor said he could go onstage.)

That's what I was told.

All seven of us are here.

- Let's practice. - Sure.

I love the group practice.

It's been a while.

Everyone's here to practice after a while.

Here, it's 7 and 8.

(Jin Ho teaches him the new moves.)

- Two, three, four. - Two, three, four.

- Five, six, seven, eight. - Five, six, seven, eight.

(Only 6 people practiced after Woong Ki was injured.)

(Practicing together as whole after Woong Ki joined)

(Thanks to the teammates who waited for him, )

(Woong Ki does his best.)

I don't have much time left.

But everyone on the team...

is helping me.

I will pull it off,

so the audience won't notice.

Let's watch TEAM BEAT's performance. TEAM BEAT,

- are you ready? - Yes!

We're ready.

No more last place.

I need help.

I hope they pull it off.

I can't wait to watch TEAM BEAT.

We'll show our new side.

It'll be our chance...

to place first.

"My, My, My" goes...

"Bet everything."

All that time I spent working and practicing...

I'll head to the stage with a determination...

to bet my everything.

- Good luck! - Good luck!

- Good luck! - You can do it!

Ready?

Go.

("My, My, My" by An Yul, Cha Woong Ki, Kairi, )

(Keum Jin Ho, Kim Hyo Tae, Nam Do Yoon, Yuito)

(Do Yoon)

(The secret weapon is the blindfold performance.)

(Shocked)

Is that real?

Oh, Kairi is crazy.

(Good job!)

(Do Yoon)

(Shocked for the 2nd time)

I love it.

This is it!

Oh, so laid-back.

I love this song.

(Your face is your talent.)

Oh, my gosh. I like it.

(Go, Cha Woong Ki.)

Oh, my gosh. Cha Woong Ki.

I really like this part.

(Everyone is cheering after the performance ends.)

(Good job, TEAM BEAT!)

That was better than the rehearsal.

I liked it.

(TEAM RHYTHM UNIT 1's players don't know what to say.)

That was intense.

TEAM BEAT really clenched their teeth.

That was so cool.

Let's begin the voting.

The players' individual votes will be combined...

and reflected in the team score.

Hello. I'm TEAM BEAT's leader Keum Jin Ho.

I am sure you are all aware...

of the situation my team's currently in.

Please vote for us.

Is that how he appeals to the audience?

Please help us.

Please.

Please vote for us.

(TEAM BEAT players are appealing to pity.)

- Vote! - Vote for us. Please.

(Let's vote.)

(Woong Ki's face is unbelievable.)

(Appealing with the fatal and sexy "My, My, My" dance)

(Screaming)

No more.

(Satisfied 423 percent)

He's good.

- He's cute. I'd vote for him. - Me too.

- Vote for us. - Five, four,

- I want you bad - three, two, one.

The voting is over.

That was good.

Nice.

Kenta, you were better.

- What? - Your abs were better.

Thank you.

Go naked for the finals.

(Joking)

(TEAM GROOVE's strategy to win)

- Completely. - One more time?

Take off your pants too.

- We're back. - We're back.

- We're back. - I don't remember how I did it.

- Good job. - It was better than the rehearsal.

- I was nervous. - Why do you get nervous...

when you're good?

You didn't look nervous onstage.

- Thank you. - Good job.

It was the loudest cheer we had so far.

- Yes. It was so loud. - They were cheering so loud.

- Right? - It was the loudest.

I know.

The sky will determine the result.

- Yes. - Good job.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(Will TEAM BEAT be able to avoid placing last?)

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

Let's go!

- You can do it. - We got this!

- We can do it. - We got this.

- Good luck. - You must place first.

Good luck. No pressure.

- Thank you. - Place first.

- You must place first. - Yes.

We'll come back first place.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

- Let's place first. - Wish me luck.

Waiting for victory.

TEAM RHYTHM, please come out.

(Who is in...)

(TEAM RHYTHM's unit?)

We placed 2nd in Rounds 1 and 2.

So we put in extra effort this time.

First place will be ours.

I'm here to smash the stage.

(Spotting her favorite)

(Zhang Shuaibo)

Chih En!

Oh, Chih En is crazy.

Let's say hello.

Two, three.

- Who are we? - RHYTHM.

(Cute)

Hello. We're TEAM RHYTHM.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

(TEAM RHYTHM's cute greeting)

Can you introduce yourselves 1 by 1?

I'm Steven.

(Steven)

(Steven)

I'm Zhang Shuaibo.

I'm Chih En.

(Chih En)

Hello. I'm Xie Yuxin.

I'm Ayumu.

I'm JL.

I'm Daisuke.

Daisuke!

(So cute!)

It's the strong team.

(TEAM RHYTHM always missed 1st place by a whisker.)

They're all elite members.

I can't wait to see their performance.

What's their concept?

Maybe a festival?

(Their outfits are different from their regular outfits.)

They're always wearing red.

Today, we're going to sing "Roller Coaster."

It depicts the dizzy emotional change from love...

through a roller coaster.

(Excited)

Chih En.

I heard it was something your team never tried before.

What kind of genre is this?

If we put on performances...

with intense dances so far,

this time, it's fresh...

and bright.

(Like me.)

(Screaming)

You'll get to watch our new...

- cha... What? - What?

- What? - Our new charms.

All right. I'll look forward to something fresh.

(Shy)

As soon as TEAM RHYTHM heard the song,

they said it was a perfect song for Daisuke.

What's the reason, Daisuke?

Because I'm confident in cute songs and expressions.

So I thought it was made for me.

Then can you show us...

- your cute expressions? - Okay.

- Just an example. - Sure.

(Looking forward to it)

- All right. Are you ready? - Yes.

One, two, three.

(Fresh and cute)

Two, three.

(Daisuke cute act)

(It's making women...)

(pass out.)

- He's cute. - He knows what women like.

(He's melting other players too.)

- So cute. - You're cute.

Good. Nice.

JL. I heard you had a different resolution...

for this song. What was your resolution?

TEAM RHYTHM always placed second.

We failed to protect our members.

So we're going to place first this time.

We practiced so much...

to protect our team.

Second place is not an option for RHYTHM anymore.

No more second place.

You'll place first to protect the team.

Sounds good.

"No more 2nd place?" We want to place 2nd at least.

Yes. We want to place second at least.

- Let's switch. - Let's switch.

(After placing 2nd for the 2nd time)

(Biting his lips)

"Here we go again." To be honest...

And I predicted it.

Like it's Park Ju Won.

(That Park Ju Won's name would be said.)

(Dispirited)

(During the Round 2 trade)

(It's Park Ju Won.)

(Park Ju Won was traded to TEAM GROOVE.)

(Park Ju Won)

It's Park Ju Won.

(Everyone is shocked.)

(Park Ju Won was one of the key players.)

(JL was devastated...)

(to trade Ju Won unexpectedly.)

It's really hard.

I really wanted to avoid this moment. Always.

So,

on the next mission, we'll make sure that...

we're the team to do this to other teams.

We must place first.

Again?

(Another determined player, Steven)

Other people...

might hate me,

but I'm going to make them...

practice hard without a break.

Zhang Shuaibo.

- Look this way. - Okay.

I pointed out every mistake, 1 by 1.

I felt bad.

Still, I'm thankful for their cooperation.

I decided to place first no matter what.

(I decided to place 1st no matter what.)

Never felt before

(No more 2nd place for TEAM RHYTHM)

Okay!

Like it more

If we are to be second again,

it'll be so frustrating.

And I can't let that happen.

Down.

(JL gives a private dance lesson.)

Chih En.

When I do this,

I think you need to hold here.

(Do you want to try together?)

- Nice tension - Here?

No, like this.

(JL points out even the smallest detail.)

- Go. - Oh, okay.

Okay.

(The move improved thanks to JL.)

- Okay. - Okay.

Oh, yes.

Steven, we discovered something.

(When he got an idea he was super excited.)

All right.

This part will be...

better with isolation.

(JL aims for 1st place with passion.)

Since this is the last round of the league match,

everyone wants to place first.

Everyone changed a lot.

With a thump.

(After the passionate practice)

Daisuke.

- Yes. - You are good with expressing.

So we need something new.

(When selecting the final 7)

(Fresh looks)

(So cute)

(Daisuke put on a cute face for the song...)

(and made the directors happy.)

I noticed it today.

There's something new about Daisuke.

You improved so much.

(Thumbs-up)

It was very cute.

Other people would agree...

that it's cute. I liked it.

Thank you.

"Roller Coaster" is basically Daisuke's song.

It's like this song was made for Daisuke.

And Zhang Shuaibo.

(And Zhang Shuaibo!)

To be honest, I was shocked.

Zhang Shuaibo improved so much.

(To make it in the final 7)

(Zhang Shuaibo made so much effort.)

(As a master of expressions, he puts on a refreshing look perfectly.)

His gestures and expressions matched this song perfectly.

He grabs attention onstage.

He seems to have his own sense of ease when performing onstage.

(Expression masters captured the hearts of both directors.)

Daisuke, show your expression.

Well...

I pose cutely.

I think posing cutely is the way to go.

(Promoting himself)

(We need to see Zhang Shuaibo's expressions too.)

Oh, something like that.

(That's nice.)

I wink too.

Then the fans will react like this.

(Exactly!)

- You're so good. - Seriously? Thank you.

(In the meantime)

(He glances at Zhang Shuaibo.)

(He glances at Daisuke.)

(Chih En keeps glancing at them.)

For me, facial expressions...

are my weakest part.

For Chih En,

you need more dynamic facial expressions.

Now, you only have one expression.

- Yes. - People who watch you...

won't know what's on your mind.

It even seems like a sad song.

I hope you can be a bit brighter.

(He needs to practice expressing brightly for the stage.)

But for this round, I will practice properly...

and show what I've got.

(Peeking)

(Chih En's observation of Daisuke started since then.)

(Chih En's observation of Daisuke started since then.)

Daisuke, show me your facial expressions.

(A vending machine of expressions that delivers on demand)

(He learns about facial expressions from the youngest member.)

(He tries it himself immediately.)

(He practices expressing whenever he can.)

I want to show people that I have various facial expressions.

(Chih En, your facial expressions are great.)

(Chih En gains confidence in facial expressions.)

Firstly, I'll...

(UNIT 1 of TEAM RHYHM is at the final stages of practice.)

I'll make TEAM RHYTHM win.

Since I joined Universe League,

I've never won the first place.

So if I don't win this time,

my pride will hurt a lot.

I'll definitely win first place in this round.

Let's see TEAM RHYTHM's stage now.

TEAM RHYTHM, are you ready?

(There are high expectations.)

What would a stage set up only with the team's aces be like?

I'm looking forward to it.

(How will TEAM RHYTHM's UNIT 1 perform?)

No matter what will happen, I will...

We will do everything to win.

I did my best practicing.

I'll do my best with the aim to win the first place.

Zhang Shuaibo, you can do it!

- You can do it! - Ready?

Go.

Let's go.

("Roller Coaster" by Ayumu, Chih En, Daisuke, JL, Steven, )

(Xie Yuxin, Zhang Shuaibo)

Why is Chih En better looking today?

He's full of charms.

Since when did Steven know how to act cute?

He's cute.

Wasn't Chih En's personal color blue?

Maybe it was red after all.

(Amazed)

- He's cute. - This song is for Daisuke.

He's cute.

(Chih En is my MVP.)

That's mine.

He's really cute.

This team nailed the concept.

(You're cute. Do you want to debut?)

(Chih En)

- You're so cute! - You're amazing!

- You're handsome! - So cute!

(TEAM RHYTHM is great.)

Good!

(We believed in you.)

(Satisfied)

It's my first time seeing TEAM RHYTHM perform like this.

It's quite different.

- But it suits them well. - Yes.

It suits them well, and they're good at it.

(There is tension within TEAM GROOVE.)

Everyone's level of perfection is high.

I was completely immersed in both performances.

It felt like I was just watching as the audience.

(Both TEAM BEAT and TEAM RHYTHM's performance was outstanding.)

Thanks for your efforts. They were TEAM RHYTHM!

Thank you for your work.

(UNIT 1 of TEAM RHYTHM presented a cute concept for the 1st time.)

Let's start voting now.

(On-site voting, start)

How can you not vote for me...

after seeing me like this?

Even after this?

Even after this?

- Please vote for me. - Yes!

(My votes are for you.)

Please give me your votes as a present!

- Please give it to me. - Give it to me.

- Give it to me. - Daisuke.

(TEAM RHYTHM is continuing to show their cute charms.)

(TEAM RHYTHM is continuing to show their cute charms.)

Three, two, one!

All right.

We're stopping the vote now.

This was TEAM RHYTHM.

I'm not sure about this. Everyone did well.

I think we did well,

but TEAM BEAT and TEAM RHYTHM also did well.

(Since this is Round 3, all teams perfected their performances.)

(Which team will win the 1st place?)

(You did well.)

- You did so well. - My goodness.

(TEAM RHYTHM came back after performing.)

You did well.

- Chih En, you're seriously... - You did well.

After watching your performance,

- if I give you my honest feedback, - Yes?

The only regret is that everyone was too nervous.

- Yes, you're right. - You didn't enjoy performing.

Everyone looked so nervous.

I think the fans must've felt it too.

I'll announce...

the on-site interim voting results of the first unit match.

(Immediately like this?)

(Feeling nervous)

Here are the on-site interim voting results of the first unit match.

- What? Now? - My gosh. Wait. All of a sudden?

- Oh, my. The votes? - I'll announce...

- the interim on-site voting result. - For real?

(Please.)

(Feeling nervous)

Because the audience responded so enthusiastically,

I thought, "Maybe we can really win this time."

Get ready to applaud!

- Yes, get your hands ready. - Look forward to the results.

Get ready to applaud!

I think we can win.

It was a volume of cheers I had never heard before.

- It was different. - You're right.

Seriously. Please.

(Please.)

TEAM BEAT was too good.

Once again, we'll secure first place.

(Round 3 on-site voting)

(TEAM GROOVE earned 1,711 points.)

- That scared me. - That scared me too.

- What? - Is that high?

- Isn't it high? - I think it's high.

(TEAM BEAT's score is up next.)

Please.

(TEAM BEAT's score is up next.)

Please.

(Round 3 on-site voting)

(UNIT 1 match)

Hold on. But...

(TEAM BEAT got a lower score than TEAM GROOVE.)

(TEAM RHYTHM's score is revealed last.)

I really want our team to be first.

(Please.)

(Round 3 on-site voting)

(UNIT 1 match)

(TEAM GROOVE wins the UNIT 1 match of Round 3.)

(TEAM GROOVE wins the UNIT 1 match of Round 3.)

I knew it. The heart worked.

- Right? - Good job.

(TEAM RHYTHM ranked 2nd place again.)

It's okay.

- Great job, everyone. - Good job.

(Bummed out)

- What? - Hey!

- It's similar. - Not bad.

It's okay, guys. It's not bad at all.

(TEAM BEAT is only 12 votes behind.)

It was worth putting in our efforts.

We've really narrowed the gap.

- For real. - I'm proud of you.

- Great work. - What about first place?

The score isn't bad.

What's funny is how we think our score is fine...

and we're happy that our gap narrowed down...

despite coming in third.

It's you guys who narrowed the gap with your performance.

That's because of how well you performed.

(Can TEAM BEAT turn the tables?)

(As it's the last league match, )

(we'll come from behind and win.)

(They say you're on a roll.)

(TEAM BEAT's UNIT 2 performs with desperation.)

(We should brace ourselves.)

(TEAM BEAT's intense performance aims to turn the tables.)

(Nervous)

(TEAM BEAT's perfect performance tenses up both teams.)

(The winner of the last league match is finally revealed.)

- What? - Seriously?

(Is the result a big twist that shocks everyone?)

- Oh, my gosh! - Really?

(How is that possible?)

That's absurd.

We did it!

Did we get the wrong idea?

(Universe League)
