and the players' families.

(Kwon Hee Jun)

(Koo Han Seo)

Now then, will the directors...

please tell us your resolution to win?

Let's start with TEAM RHYTHM's director.

Okay. From what I see, TEAM RHYTHM...

has the talent a K-pop artist...

needs to have.

And with each performance,

I could see each player improving.

And what everyone loves...

Visuals, performance, and music. The players have all three.

They have great potential.

And so, TEAM RHYTHM will win today at any cost.

Please look forward to the upcoming performances.

Let's enjoy it. Thank you.

(Chih En)

(Zhang Shuaibo)

Great. Director Chang Sub, please.

All right.

Through Universe League,

I've met many players with amazing talent.

Watching them has helped me return to my original resolution.

I think the director's job is to have the players debut.

And with today's performances,

I hope my team debuts on a great note.

- Thank you. - Yes, sir.

Okay. Next are the directors of TEAM BEAT.

Hi.

First off,

(Directors YUGYEOM and EL CAPITXN)

while teaching the players,

we learned a lot more from them.

It gave us the opportunity to reflect on ourselves.

That helped us become more earnest with the players.

I kept thinking we were really like a team.

I hope the players perform without any regrets today...

and win.

- Good luck! - Yes, sir.

- A word, please. - Right.

For today's final performances,

we made the songs together with TEAM BEAT players.

As today is the last performance,

the players' sincere hearts have been...

put into the songs.

I hope their sincerity is passed on...

to the audience here...

and the viewers.

I hope you enjoy the performances.

Right. Good luck, TEAM BEAT.

Good luck!

(Kwon Hee Jun)

- All right. - Nice job.

We can feel the directors' warm hearts...

and confidence.

Nice.

Now then, the debut war...

to win, WAR.

WAR!

- WAR! - WAR!

The first half of the match starts now.

Let's watch TEAM RHYTHM's performance...

RHYTHM!

first.

(TEAM RHYTHM's practice room before the finals)

Finally, TEAM RHYTHM has been formed.

(TEAM RHYTHM...)

(put together elite members to aim for victory.)

(League Match Final Team Score, Total)

(TEAM RHYTHM finished the league match in 1st place.)

The winner of the league match...

is TEAM RHYTHM.

- Good job. - Good job, guys.

Fans have chosen you to advance to the finals.

The youngest member of TEAM RHYTHM.

(Additionally, the directors chose Daisuke and Seo Jeong Woo.)

(TEAM RHYTHM is ready to take home the win.)

Come to think of it, this is our last performance.

- Yes. - Right.

That's why I don't want to have any regrets.

I want it to be perfect. A performance...

- I'd love that. - that amazes everyone.

This is the last time, so it should be more like,

"Okay, this is really TEAM RHYTHM."

I want to make my debut as TEAM RHYTHM.

- Nice. - How cute.

- Same here. - He's adorable.

Jeong Woo, what's your take?

Either way,

this is the finals and our last performance.

Since I survived until this moment,

I want...

to keep going so that I can make my debut.

- Are you craving the win? - Incredibly.

(A burning desire to win)

Then, let's go ahead and listen...

to our song for the finals.

- Sounds good. - I'd love that.

I'm nervous.

(Listening to "TAG," TEAM RHYTHM's song for the finals)

(The performance that utilizes a prop catches the eye.)

(I love the armband.)

(The armband is used like a relay baton.)

There's a kick to the performance of "TAG."

It's the armband.

By utilizing the armband, TEAM RHYTHM will show...

that we're different from the other teams.

(That's so cool!)

(A pair dance that catches the eye)

(The ultimate performance that is the human tower)

(No way!)

- We'll be making a tower? - Seriously?

It's a song that can showcase TEAM RHYTHM's strength,

dance performance,

so I'm sure we'll win.

We use an armband as a prop.

By throwing it around, we'll put on...

a well-executed performance that your eyes will be glued to.

I believed the performance itself would leave quite the impact.

So by doing this right,

it could lead us to a victory.

(TEAM RHYTHM announces a performance like no other.)

- No way. - That's insane.

That was so cool.

It looks tricky, though.

(However, they have a tough road ahead.)

Until the finals,

we'll have to sleep in the practice room.

(Until the finals, we shouldn't go home.)

Jeong Woo, don't worry.

Don't worry

You have us.

(Reliable JL)

- That's reassuring. - Our team has Mr. Three-picks.

(Our team has Mr. 3-picks, so don't worry.)

Three Picks.

(The lights are still on late at night in the practice room.)

(TEAM RHYTHM's working hard on the choreography.)

(Despite all the worrying,)

(there doesn't seem to be any hitches.)

(Showing finesse)

(What about Jeong Woo who's new to TEAM RHYTHM?)

I worked with him on TEAM GROOVE,

so I thought...

he'd have some trouble...

keeping up with TEAM RHYTHM's style.

What worried me the most was the dancing.

Back on TEAM GROOVE,

when I had to be in the center,

I was allowed to tone down the dancing a bit.

I can't avoid the matter forever,

so I'm excited about my progress in a way.

(I'm excited about the change.)

(Despite the concern,)

(Jeong Woo's keeping up,)

(even though it's the first day of practice.)

(Later, in the part where he is in the center)

(He melts into the team as if he was always one of them.)

It was our first time practicing with Jeong Woo,

and he kept up better than I had expected.

He seemed to only get better and better,

which was quite admirable.

The second verse is harder for me.

- It's harder. - Because we switch it up, right?

How will you do it?

Here's what I think. I thought...

I'd move to the back like this.

- And then... - Hold on.

- It's not that. - Make your exit even faster.

Immediately move to the back after the moves on the floor.

(Like this?)

(Jeong Woo, you're the best!)

- Are you good? - Yes.

Before, I would continue to repeat the moves.

But now I know which moves I need to work on more.

It's progress if you ask me.

("It's progress if you ask me.")

That's what I believe.

(Two other players are working hard during the break.)

(Zhang Shuaibo and Chih En)

- Hold on. - Don't you think...

we have to cover too much distance?

Why don't you take my hand...

and move your head this way?

(What are they up to?)

Zhang Shuaibo and I...

perform a pair dance during the song.

(The powerful pair dance by Zhang Shuaibo and Chih En)

This is our first time performing a pair dance.

We were exchanging ideas...

to elevate the level of the performance.

(To present a performance that is closer to perfection,)

(the two work on their chemistry rather than take a break.)

Never

(Screaming)

(What they couldn't execute can now be done perfectly.)

(We can't wait for Zhang Shuaibo and Chih En's pair dance.)

I'm confident about the performance we'll create together.

It'll leave an impact.

Guys, I...

Guys?

(Zhang Shuaibo gathers them to suggest an idea.)

- I have an idea. - An idea?

- What is it? - Well...

(Round and round)

- The armband. - The armband?

- How about we make one? - He's adorable.

- What do you think? - You think we should make one?

- Zhang Shuaibo, you're the best! - Zhang Shuaibo, you're so clever.

- I love it. Big brain. - Let's do it.

There are...

seven of us on TEAM RHYTHM,

and I thought...

there should be something...

that represented the seven of us.

I wanted to display our determination...

regarding our desire to debut.

(The players of TEAM RHYTHM...)

(decorate the armband with their autographs.)

Nice. That's cool.

Let's stick these on, guys.

(Lastly, they decorate it with the team name...)

(and make a promise to win.)

Good.

All done!

(Finally, it's done.)

- On the back are our autographs. - Our autographs.

I don't know who'll get to keep it, but...

We decorated the armband with the team name...

and all seven of our autographs.

That being said, every one of us will get to dance...

wearing the armband.

In that sense,

it was quite meaningful to us.

The moment we put the armband on,

it'll be like seeing the captain of a soccer team.

You'll be able to trust the performance...

by TEAM RHYTHM.

Once you see our first performance,

you'll know we'll be the ones debuting.

I want to end on a high note that arouses such thoughts.

We'll be victorious over TEAM GROOVE and TEAM BEAT.

TEAM RHYTHM will debut.

- Let's go, JL! - Go, Jeong Woo!

("TAG" by JL, Steven, Zhang Shuaibo,)

(Chih En, Park Ju Won, Daisuke, Seo Jeong Woo)

(Seo Jeong Woo)

(Master of expressions, Zhang Shuaibo)

Zhang Shuaibo!

Zhang Shuaibo!

Well done!

That was "TAG" by TEAM RHYTHM.

Good job, guys.

First, we'll hear from Director YANGYANG.

What did you think of the performance?

That was definitely TEAM RHYTHM's style.

You did great.

I saw a lot of videos of them practicing,

and today's performance was perfect.

Everything was smooth,

and you guys improved a lot. It was great.

Good work, everyone.

You did great.

We'll move on to Director Chang Sub.

What did you think of TEAM RHYTHM's performance?

They had me mesmerized.

First of all, I love...

how you're wearing shoulder pads.

And like we saw in the video,

Jeong Woo has shown a lot of progress.

It was amazing. Also,

it was a performance that had me bouncing to the beat...

without me realizing it.

You guys did great.

This isn't my team,

but I feel proud for some reason.

You all did great.

- Good job, guys. - Jeong Woo, you did great!

That was high praise.

(TEAM GROOVE is a favorite to win the competition.)

(Park Han, Kim Joo Hyoung, and Kenta were chosen by the fans.)

(Along with the members chosen by Director Lee Chang Sub,)

(TEAM GROOVE formed a formidable team.)

(Aiming for victory with its elite members)

Let's give everything we have in this final performance.

- Got it. - Okay?

Here's the song you'll perform...

in the finals.

(Excited)

(Nervous)

It's called "Universe."

- "Universe?" - "Universe."

- "Universe." - "Universe."

A final song with that title seems cool.

(What can we expect from Director Lee's secret weapon?)

Okay. Let's listen to it.

- Okay. - Okay.

("Universe (A Message that Will Reach Once the Curtain Rises):")

(A song about delivering one's burning desire)

(to someone who has been chosen for you by fate)

(Delight, determination, and intense emotions...)

(express the heart in a colorful way.)

It's a pair dance.

I can already hear Han.

(This part features charming high notes.)

There are a lot of high notes.

I agree.

It was a song that we had to deliver with our vocals.

I think it's a song that can highlight...

the vocal ability of TEAM GROOVE which is our strength.

This is Universe League, and we're singing "Universe."

That makes us the men of the hour.

(We love it.)

(My gosh)

The song is very high.

It's higher than any other song we've sung.

The songs by TEAM GROOVE...

generally require a high vocal register.

That's why it's a challenge for you.

I'll assign the sections you're going to perform.

- Okay. - Okay.

Let's practice.

(Will the challenging song be TEAM GROOVE's weapon?)

Okay.

I'll be checking your vocals individually for this one.

I was wondering if I'd get the chance...

to receive a 1-on-1 lesson from the director.

My guess is that this was him playing the ace up his sleeve.

(The ace up Director Lee Chang Sub's sleeve, 1-on-1 vocal lessons)

If you still can't hit it, bend over some more.

I won't let you go

Okay. Good. Let's try that again.

(A special measure of his that will allow his players...)

(to sing the secret weapon that is "Universe")

This was your best attempt yet.

Bite down on your teeth, and...

(He shows the main vocalist Park Han how to protect his vocal cords.)

Yes, like that.

That drill will help...

- keep your vocal cords apart, - Right.

so do that often.

Too thrilling

Hold me tighter than a roller coaster

What I only did with you here

(For Kenta, who isn't fluent in Korean,)

(he records the pronunciation of the words.)

- You can practice like that. - Okay.

(Director Lee's special vocal lesson is over.)

There's a flu going around,

and it's hard to be in your best condition this time of year.

- Make sure to stay healthy. - Okay.

I said we'd have meat if you won.

You did win with the on-site voting.

(Director Lee, you're the best.)

- Pork belly. - Pork belly.

Let's enjoy meat.

(Yes, we're having meat!)

- Meat. - Really?

(A meat feast!)

I didn't see this coming.

Is this our last supper?

(The pork belly looks delicious.)

(Focused)

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Gosh.

(The meat tastes even better...)

(after the special training they had to endure.)

- Gosh. - It's good.

(Kenta has a bite as well.)

(That reminds me...)

(Director Lee Chang Sub suddenly pulls something out.)

Guys.

(What is it?)

(A letter?)

Goodness.

- What's this? - My gosh.

- Han. - Thank you.

- Gi Joong. - Thank you.

(He calls out their names, 1 by 1.)

- Hee Jun. - No way. What's this?

- My gosh. - Joo Hyoung.

Thank you.

What?

- Han Seo. - No way.

(Director Lee gave each of them kind words as a gift.)

I was surprised by it.

He gave us a short letter and a scarf as a gift.

We had to maintain good vocal health,

and he thought of that too with his gift.

I could tell he cared about us a lot,

which warmed up my heart.

I thought about what we could do...

to give back all that we had received.

To win in the finals...

so that we could dedicate the victory to him,

I will give it my all.

We will win.

(After their time with Director Lee Chang Sub,)

(the players of TEAM GROOVE show their determination.)

Since it's the finals,

I will make sure not to have any regrets.

So that we can end the show with a smile,

let's work hard until the very end.

Honestly, I have confidence in us.

We'll show you...

what kind of players are on TEAM GROOVE.

I want to make my debut...

with my teammates on TEAM GROOVE.

("Universe (A Message that Will Reach Once the Curtain Rises)")

("Universe" by Park Han, Kim Joo Hyoung, Kenta,)

(Koo Han Seo, Kwon Hee Jun, Jang Kyung Ho, Kim Gi Joong)

(Park Han)

(Gi Joong, Cha Woong Ki)

(Koo Han Seo)

(Kenta)

(Kwon Hee Jun, Park Han)

(Jang Kyung Ho)

You're amazing!

- Kenta! - Kenta!

- Kenta! - Kenta!

You're so pretty!

That was TEAM GROOVE's performance of "Universe."

Kenta!

It was amazing!

Well done.

Kenta!

You did well!

You did well!

Director Lee Chang Sub.

You look more nervous than the players.

How was their performance?

I've never felt this way...

while filming Universe League.

I really got choked up today while watching their performance.

Our teammates have gone through so much...

and have worked so hard.

I really enjoyed their performance.

You all went through so much and did a great job.

You still have the next performance, so stay alert.

Let's continue to work hard. Great job!

Thank you.

You did so well.

- You did so well. - Director YUGYEOM.

TEAM BEAT is preparing for the next performance.

How was TEAM GROOVE's performance?

First of all, TEAM GROOVE's strength is in their singing.

Director Chang Sub did a great job instructing them.

I really enjoyed their singing.

It sounded very stable.

What surprised me...

was TEAM GROOVE's unexpected energy from the dancing.

It really surprised me.

I want to compliment them for doing a great job.

But get excited for TEAM BEAT as well.

- Yes! - You all really did a great job.

If you root for TEAM GROOVE,

please participate in the final voting!

- Kenta! - Gi Joong!

- Kenta! - You were amazing!

Kenta!

Gi Joong!

- Kyung Ho! - You were amazing, Kyung Ho!

Let's go, Kim Gi Joong!

- Let's go! - Kyung Ho!

(KTOPSTAR, SBS, and H1GHER and participate in the vote.)

- Kyung Ho! - Park Han!

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

is getting ready to perform.

Let's meet them right after the break!

Kenta!

(Final league match ranking,)

(3rd place)

(TEAM BEAT wasn't able to escape from 3rd place until the end.)

(For a come-from-behind victory in the finals,)

(TEAM BEAT strengthened the team.)

(Cha Woong Ki advanced to the finals by the fans' choice.)

Kairi.

(With the directors' selection,)

(TEAM BEAT's original 3 members advanced to the finals.)

(They selected Zen Zen...)

(and Sirin to create a new vocal line.)

(Dong Yun, who was a former TEAM BEAT member,)

(was brought back in as well!)

(A new TEAM BEAT was formed with a shocking lineup.)

- Hello. - Hello.

Hi. Welcome.

Take your seats.

(What will the new TEAM BEAT sing in the finals?)

EL CAPITXN...

always provides us with great songs.

(Director EL CAPTIXN always provided the best songs to TEAM BEAT.)

(It was because I felt ambitious!)

(What song did he bring this time?)

To be honest, I was really torn...

as it was the final performance and final song.

He brought another great song.

(Very excited)

It's a song that you can cry with or laugh to.

(What kind of song is it?)

I really wanted to express TEAM BEAT's story...

through this song.

It's an emotional song...

that you can express your individual stories with.

As it's about all of you,

you are the only ones who can express this song.

It will be the best if you guys can just...

immerse in your own message.

(What is the final song that contains TEAM BEAT's message?)

("Sunset in the Sky:" "The world is filled with you,")

("and there will be no fear when we are together.")

(This sentiment is expressed like a panoramic view of the sunset.)

(TEAM BEAT members focus on the lyrics of the song.)

(The dream we dreamt of while looking at each other)

(I'm lost in you)

(The panorama that has spread out)

(Remember that moment)

That's amazing.

(The moment we got together)

It's sad.

(I want to fill it up with you)

This is my third survival show.

"The panorama that has spread out." I think this part...

can represent the long journey...

of the Universe League players.

If was as if everything that had happened until now...

had flashed through my head like a highlight.

(TEAM BEAT's practice room a few days later)

(TEAM BEAT is practicing the final song.)

(The players are focused on the song more than on any other song.)

Director EL CAPITXN said this song was about us.

He said that we could express the things we wanted to freely.

We went through a lot of ups and downs, to be honest.

I wanted to express the longing emotions I felt.

The members felt like family members.

I really want to make my debut with these members.

I wanted to express things brightly...

while imagining those dreamlike moments.

I believe I've lived for this dream.

(The players each express his own story with facial expressions.)

During the final performance, I will express my desperate heart...

and sincerity.

(They prepare even their expressions perfectly...)

(for the final performance.)

(Looking emotional even with their backs)

- Okay. Let's sit down. - Right.

(Time for a short break)

This was something I thought about...

while dancing to this song.

The song is called "Sunset in the Sky."

I thought that it would be great...

if we could sing this song under the sunset.

(Impressed)

By the way,

there's a place I really want to go.

After coming to Korea,

I never was able to visit the Han River.

(We haven't been there either.)

- You never went to the Han River? - No.

- You too, Zen Zen? - Never.

Then should we all go to the Han River?

Let's get dressed and go to the Han River.

(Let's go to the Han River to see the sunset!)

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

- The sun is going down, guys. - It's so pretty!

Right. It's so pretty!

That is literally the "Sunset in the Sky."

(Singing...)

(automatically)

(The final song pops out right away after seeing the sunset.)

How was it being in Universe League?

I'm having a lot more fun and happy...

that I had imagined.

It's because...

all of us here share the same dream.

Singing and dancing with people...

who are working hard to chase that dream...

is a lot of fun for me.

That's what it's like for me.

I think I felt...

a lot more joy...

than suffering.

(We have all gathered to make our debut.)

(Connected with the same dream,)

(we have paced through our happy moments.)

When I see the sunset in the future,

I think it will remind me of these times.

(The finish line has come before their eyes.)

(They sing "Sunset in the Sky" under the sunset.)

Until now,

it was a panorama of the journey to my dream.

I now wish to create a new panorama...

that is called "debut."

During this final performance,

I wish all of us could be free from pressure.

I wish for us to really enjoy it.

I will write a page in my life that I will have no regrets about.

I wish to express...

"Sunset in the Sky" in our own ways.

(We wish to express TEAM BEAT's "Sunset in the Sky.")

("Sunset in the Sky" by Cha Woong Ki, Zen Zen, Kairi)

(Sirin, Kim Dong Yun, Keum Jin Ho, Yuito)

(Cha Woong Ki)

(Keum Jin Ho, Cha Woong Ki)

That was "Sunset in the Sky" by TEAM BEAT.

Great work.

You did well!

Let's hear...

from the one who made this song.

Director EL CAPITXN, what did you think of their performance?

Gosh.

Personally,

I've been known to be someone...

who is dull with my emotions.

And I do agree with that myself.

But after seeing this performance,

I almost burst into tears.

Well, I'm here with my mic...

to assess the performance.

But to be honest,

I met these guys through his show,

but it didn't feel like a producer-participant relationship.

They felt like family members.

Right.

They just showed...

an excellent performance,

but even if they did make a huge mistake,

I would've adored them and said they did a great job.

So...

(Cha Woong Ki)

You guys did a great job and were adorable.

I was able...

to feel...

the moments...

we all shared together.

I loved it. You all did so well.

Gosh, this is so heartwarming.

TEAM RHYTHM's Director TEN.

What did you think of TEAM BEAT's performance?

Whenever I watched...

TEAM BEAT's performance,

I thought they always performed with sincerity.

I was able to really feel their sincerity again today.

It was great.

After watching today's performance,

I was able to realize...

how desperate you guys were for this. Thank you so much.

- You were amazing! - You were amazing!

(Unanswered Questions by TEAM GROOVE)

Are you still torn about which team to choose as the winner?

We recommend the vocal-oriented idol group,

TEAM GROOVE.

(We recommend the vocal-oriented idol group, TEAM GROOVE.)

We really want to debut.

This is why we came up with three reasons...

that you must vote for TEAM GROOVE.

The first reason you must vote for TEAM GROOVE.

Singing.

(Ta-da)

Is there a team in Universe League better at singing than GROOVE?

- There isn't! - There isn't!

We will melt your eardrums that have frozen this cold winter...

with our warm sentimentality.

I'll go first.

(That's me.)

I'm Park Han, the voice of TEAM GROOVE.

I'll start singing now.

(Ready to melt)

("Make Up" by Sam Kim)

(Longing)

(We completely melted.)

We melted.

That was amazing.

(The top vocalist)

(Running over)

TEAM GROOVE isn't only good at singing.

We apologize for that.

- We apologize. - We apologize.

We're also good at rapping.

(We're also good at rapping.)

(Kitty Han)

(We all need votes)

(With perfect rhyme, the rap duo rewrote promotion history.)

The second reason you should vote for TEAM GROOVE.

(The second reason to vote for TEAM GROOVE)

Dance.

(Ta-da)

- Hey. - Hey.

(Full of instinct to dance)

He's so good.

(The deity of dance)

(Flashy moves that capture the audience)

Hey!

We can also do contemporary dance.

Cue the music.

(Contemporary dance major, Kwon Hee Jun)

(Dancing spontaneously and freely)

He's the best.

He's really good.

Oh, my.

(Perfect, textbook choreography)

(We all need votes.)

(The deity of dance)

Our last weapon.

The third reason you should vote for TEAM GROOVE.

TEAM GROOVE has all of the faces...

you want from idols.

Puppy face.

(Puppy face)

Cat face.

(Cat face)

(I must endure it.)

Which do you want?

A puppy-like smile.

Loyalty to his fans.

It's our puppy from Japan, Kenta.

(Barking)

Master. Let's go for a walk.

Instead of a snack, give me a vote.

On the contrary, we also have a very sexy...

and proud kitty.

He will scratch up...

your hardened heart with love. It's Kim Joo Hyoung.

(Meowing)

Everyone. I will gently knead your hearts.

Instead of snacks, give me votes, my butlers.

Meow.

Also, TEAM GROOVE has both the older and younger types.

He's sweet, trustworthy,

Both of you have great facial expressions.

What kind of training were you doing?

The training we were doing is called, "Target the Heart."

- Do you want to hear about it? - Do you want to hear about it?

- Do you? - Do you?

I want to. Hurry up and show us.

(Kairisma, you are so...)

(Fatally charming)

My heart is really hurting.

I think you will really be able to steal the fans' hearts.

(We still have one shot left.)

(Aim.)

(Shoot.)

(Jin Ho's dancing will make your heart stop.)

(Oh, my.)

(And a flashy performance follows.)

(Zen Zen, born in 2009, baby puppy)

Guys. What are you doing?

- Don't talk to us! - Oh, my.

We're almost done stealing.

What are you almost done stealing?

We're stealing the skills of the other teams.

(Even vocal skills?)

- It's always only you - It's always only you

(Stealing TEAM GROOVE's vocal skills, complete.)

on the final stage,

we were working hard to practice Korean...

with some tongue twisters.

(Sirin, born in 2008, the Thai Ice Boy)

(Yuito, born in 2007, MC Rabbit)

What kind of training method is that?

We will...

Vote for the team you are rooting for right now.

Now then, let's begin the second half of the final match.

TEAM BEAT will perform first.

Let's check it out together.

- It's hard. - It's so difficult.

(TEAM BEAT members are writing something?)

I should write it pretty.

(What are they writing?)

The director wanted our story to be included...

in the song.

Writing lyrics is a first for me.

When we provide the ingredients,

the director is going to cook with it.

It's our team's last performance.

(TEAM BEAT's locker room on the day of the song reveal)

I want this song...

to be about your story.

I think it will be most sincere...

when you write your own story.

My hope is that you would write the lyrics of this song.

Go write it right now.

- Understood. - Let's go.

Director EL CAPITXN gave us a chance to write the lyrics.

The title of this song is "Dreaming."

("Dreaming:" A warm, wintery pop song,)

(capturing the excitement of the first snowfall...)

(and a special moment that came after a long wait)

Through Universe League...

and performing on many stages,

we've had many dreamlike moments.

Writing about the happy moments...

on Universe League is a good idea.

I have one unbelievable moment.

The most impressive moment.

When you met me?

When they took "MAMMA MIA."

(The song for Round 2)

(The very person who intercepted "MAMMA MIA")

I'll put that down in my lyrics.

Zen Zen.

Why did you do it, Zen Zen?

(Getting "MAMMA MIA" stolen was like a dream)

(Joking around)

He can really hold a grudge.

(On mean leader mode)

Season-wise, winter popped up in my head.

This show itself started in winter.

When winter started, we met our fans...

and made diverse memories together.

If we sing it in the final,

it'll be a special performance.

I wish...

I could...

debut...

with this team.

That is my...

biggest goal.

My dream is...

to become an idol in Korea.

That's my dream.

(They all want to debut desperately.)

All seven of us...

want to debut...

- the most. - Yes.

- Are you ready to write it down? - Let's write...

about our hearts.

I was told to write about my own story.

It's hard,

but I think it's a good opportunity...

to deliver our honest opinions.

(Writing my story toward debut)

I wrote about "dreaming..."

with my own sentiment.

My lyrics say...

it feels like a dream, but it's not a dream.

So I will cherish it.

And it also talks about...

my fans...

and how they see me.

So...

that makes my dream to debut.

(My dream is to debut.)

(Debut)

(They had a long journey on Universe League to debut.)

I'm Keum Jin Ho. I was born in 2000. Nice to meet you.

(They had a long journey on Universe League to debut.)

Hello. I was born in 2003. I'm Japanese. I'm Kairi.

- Jin Ho, Kairi, Yuito, and I... - Hello.

went for this dream for a long time.

Zen Zen, Dong Yun, and Sirin...

just took...

their first steps.

Hello. I'm Sirin.

Still, our goals...

and our wishes...

are...

bigger than those of other teams.

(People with the same goal...)

(gathered and sweated to practice together.)

(They laughed, had fun,)

(and went for their dreams together.)

(Sometimes they were in despair after failing...)

(and shed painful tears.)

(and shed painful tears.)

(Yet, TEAM BEAT became one even before they knew it.)

(Yet, TEAM BEAT became one even before they knew it.)

This was...

the first time...

I realized...

that I could rely...

on my teammates.

TEAM BEAT is as precious...

as my family.

We didn't only get closer. We became one.

(You came like the first snow, it's really you)

(It feels like a dream)

(To sing this song for you)

(This day feels like a gift)

(Dreaming in midwinter)

This is the final.

I want to debut with the other guys.

This is the last chance.

They know how desperate we are...

more than anyone else.

TEAM BEAT...

plans to prove ourselves once again after Round Three.

We'll put on a performance...

where both the audience and performers are happy.

Please vote for us.

(Please vote for us.)

Please vote for us.

TEAM BEAT, let's debut!

(How's the earnest "Dreaming" performance by TEAM BEAT?)

("Dreaming" by Cha Woong Ki, Zen Zen, Kairi, Sirin,)

(Kim Dong Yun, Keum Jin Ho, Yuito)

(Cha Woong Ki)

Cha Woong Ki!

"Dreaming" by TEAM BEAT.

Director YUGYEOM.

What did you think of their performance?

I said this...

to them before.

The audience can see and feel...

how much they practiced.

Once again,

they had perfect teamwork.

Their teamwork...

stood out. They're very kind...

and lovely. Please...

help them.

If you want to support TEAM BEAT,

join the final vote now.

(Final On Air Voting: Enter the QR code through...)

(KTOPSTAR, SBS, and H1GHER...)

(and participate in the vote.)

- Let's go. - Good luck.

Next up is TEAM GROOVE.

Let's meet them soon.

(Where is the warm melody coming from on this cold winter day?)

(TEAM GROOVE is practicing for the finals.)

Okay.

The sign language at the end is the highlight.

What should we do to make it stand out?

"You In The Same Place" has...

sign language in the choreography.

We need a song...

to touch everyone in the finals.

And only TEAM GROOVE can do that.

The second song is...

(TEAM GROOVE's locker room)

"You In The Same Place."

"You In The Same Place."

We watch our fans from the stage.

It means you want them to be in the same place...

wherever you are.

There's sign language in the choreography.

There's sign language in the choreography.

(The sign language means "You In The Same Place.")

I guess that means "you."

This means "you."

"Missing You" by BTOB also has sign language.

This is sign language.

(Sign language is also in "Missing You.")

It means "missing you."

When I was performing "Missing You,"

someone was watching TV with her hearing-impaired sister.

And her sister cried so much...

while watching "Missing You."

Because this was sign language.

(Director Chang Sub was impressed by the lyrics in sign language.)

So she was touched.

I hope...

someone finds your choreography touching.

(Prepared with a wish for them to be singers of positive influence)

The choreography involves sign language.

And I found it...

touching.

I will focus on my fingertips...

when I dance.

(TEAM GROOVE is practicing the sign language.)

Even the slightest difference in the fingertips...

felt like a different story.

So I focused on it so much.

We don't only sing with our voices...

but with our hands too.

It's more touching...

and overwhelming.

(We hope our song touches everyone.)

(5 days before the finals)

This and this...

- This is nice and simple. - Yes.

- This... - Han Seo, do you like this?

- That, and... - Then I'll choose this.

No.

- I choose this. - The circle.

Since the choreography has sign language...

and involves a lot of hand gestures,

we decided to choose a design for that.

We thought about a way to make it stand out more.

And we decided to get matching bracelets.

(They decided to get matching bracelets.)

If we make them,

- there are only seven in the world. - Yes.

(That's a crazy approach!)

I choose this.

- Me too. - Yes? Then...

- I think this is the best. - Not bad.

You can try it on if you want.

(They decided to engrave GROOVE on a simple bracelet.)

- Here we go. - Yes.

- What? Are we starting? - Let's go.

Let us debut.

(Engraving the first letter in excitement)

What?

I did it.

Nice.

- I did it. - Yes.

- We'll use this as an example. - Please.

(The players engrave...)

(each letter carefully.)

The result isn't what I expected.

- Hey. - This is the worst one.

- It means a lot because we made it. - Yes.

TEAM GROOVE.

Why don't we make one more for our director?

- Sure. - Sounds good.

Let's make the same one.

(Good idea!)

Simple is the best.

It'll be a surprise.

(With memories of TEAM GROOVE,)

(they make bracelets.)

Meticulously.

(The one and only TEAM GROOVE made its bracelets.)

(There's one for Director Chang Sub as well.)

Isn't this nice?

(Feeling proud)

We took this chance...

to make a team bracelet.

This represents our friendship.

I'm proud of it.

Just like the title,

wherever we are,

I hope we're always together.

We shed tears together.

(While they ran toward their dream together...)

We sweated together. I'm grateful.

I want to say I love them.

Let's do our best until the end,

so we can win and debut together.

- Gi Joong of TEAM GROOVE. - Joo Hyoung of TEAM GROOVE.

- Han Seo of TEAM GROOVE. - Park Han of TEAM GROOVE.

Kenta of TEAM GROOVE.

- Kyung Ho of TEAM GROOVE. - Hee Jun of TEAM GROOVE.

(How is "You In The Same Place" by TEAM GROOVE?)

- Wait for us, finals. We're coming! - We're coming!

(How is "You In The Same Place" by TEAM GROOVE?)

("You In The Same Place")

Kim Joo Hyoung, you're so pretty.

- Kenta, you're the best. - Kim Joo Hyoung.

("You In The Same Place" by Park Han, Kim Joo Hyoung,)

(Kenta, Koo Han Seo, Kwon Hee Jun, Jang Kyung Ho, Kim Gi Joong)

(Park Han)

(Joo Hyoung)

(Park Han)

Joo Hyoung!

So cool!

Koo Han Seo, you're so pretty.

"You In The Same Place" by TEAM GROOVE.

- Awesome. - Kenta.

Good job, Jang Kyung Ho!

Director Lee Chang Sub, what did you think of their performance?

It was touching.

And...

it's sad that...

that's our last performance...

on Universe League.

I hope you win...

so we'll one day...

perform together on the same stage.

Well done. Good job.

Well done.

Kyung Ho, good job!

- Well done. - Good job!

- Don't cry, Jang Kyung Ho. - Good job.

Now, if you root for TEAM GROOVE,

join the final vote.

Koo Han Seo!

So cute.

You're so cute!

- Koo Han Seo! - Jang Kyung Ho!

Kenta!

- Well done. - Kenta.

- You're good. - So cute.

- Koo Han Seo. - You can do it.

Kenta!

Kyung Ho, you're the best.

- First place! - Kenta.

- So cute. - Kyung Ho, don't cry.

Kenta, you're so cute.

Universe League, debut war.

The last performance in the second half...

is by TEAM RHYTHM.

- Kyung Ho, you're so cute. - Let's watch it together.

So cute.

(After the finalist announcement)

(In awe)

(Smiling)

(TEAM RHYTHM's directors are practicing with the players?)

(Focused)

Is this real?

We're doing the choreography with them.

They wanted to support us for the finals.

When I heard they were going to give us a one-point lesson,

I felt reassured and honored.

Everyone in a different angle.

(Two directors' special lesson for TEAM RHYTHM)

Our song is cheerful and bright. It's nice, but...

I was worried about the details...

we had to work on.

("La Fiesta: A song about boys' expectations...)

(about their new start after a long journey.)

(An exciting Nu-disco-style dance pop song)

(TEAM RHYTHM has a complex choreography as expected.)

("La Fiesta" will complete TEAM RHYTHM's last journey.)

- I was a little worried. - This is...

Then, Directors TEN and YANGYANG were...

- It's different from this. - going to help us.

They felt reliable.

(Reliable)

Here,

you should draw a big circle.

(He looks cool when he's doing his job.)

(Exclaiming endlessly)

They're really good.

One of my role models in dancing.

I'm really happy that we made it with our directors.

(Focusing)

I thought K-pop stars were amazing.

- Ready to try? - Yes.

- Yes. - Let's go slowly. First. Here.

Here.

Hit and circle.

(Going slowly so everyone can follow)

Open your hand.

As if you're pushing.

(The advanced dancers catch up without a problem.)

Push and catch.

Here, kick.

(Turn!)

(Like this?)

This is going to be hard.

(Catching sharply)

When you do this, keep it sharp.

As if you're the tough guy in the last festival.

"I'll take you."

- With that impression. - "It's you."

"It's you."

Hit your hands like this.

(The director's special lesson is easy to understand.)

At first, I was thinking...

of going like this.

As if you were sending a kiss.

If you have any other ideas, share them with us.

This...

Or you could do this.

(Ju Won works on the choreography alone.)

(Enthusiastic)

Can you play the music?

(As soon as the director plays the music,)

(Ju Won practices his idea to the music.)

(Impressed)

(The last chorus in "La Fiesta")

(Instead of pointing inside the jacket,)

(he shakes his hand near the shoulder.)

Do you want to go with that? I like it.

- Sorry? - I like it.

- Do you? - I like it.

If you get to debut,

sometimes, you have to share your ideas.

It's never wrong to share your ideas.

Share it, try it,

- and use the best idea. - Okay.

That's my opinion.

If you're scared, you can't do it.

Don't hesitate to do it.

Can I face JL...

- and try it together? - Let's see.

(Ju Won enthusiastically shares his idea.)

Something like that. After facing each other.

How about this?

Let's try that. I like it.

I shared a lot of my ideas,

and they let us choose.

I was grateful.

Okay. Let's try it with the music.

(Everyone focuses on the director's lesson.)

It was already an honor...

to dance with Directors TEN and YANGYANG.

I was grateful when they taught us in person.

To make up for their support,

I must place first.

- Yes. There. - Two, and...

- Yes. - Yes.

(Directors TEN and YANGYANG's one-point lesson is over.)

(Practicing hard to remember the directors' lesson)

Everyone is focusing on the rhythm.

We're working to put on the best performance...

without wasting our time.

All seven of us are practicing hard...

to pull off the last performance.

(Practicing every day...)

(for the last festival and the new start)

(The final day is drawing near.)

(Their last practice for the final ends.)

Let's go.

- Let's go, everyone. - Yes.

- Let's go. Get your stuff. - We're off.

- Bye. - Bye.

Let's pull it off tomorrow.

- We're off. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

(Leaving the practice room for the last time)

- It's cold. - It's cold.

This is our first time going home together.

- Right? - This is the first time.

Yes.

So nice.

- Yes. - It's nice. It's pretty.

- I... - It's N Seoul Tower.

(The members stopped to see the night view.)

Is that N Seoul Tower?

I've never seen it before.

I've never visited it before. I want to go.

I hope to make more memories with you.

This could be our last time going home together.

(Sad)

If we get to debut together,

we can debut...

No, go home together.

We'll pull it off. We've been doing our best.

I don't know if we can debut or not,

but when I go back to the agency after the finals tomorrow,

I hope everyone is there.

I don't have a choice. I have to debut with them.

This isn't the end.

It's only the beginning of TEAM RHYTHM.

- Yes. - That's true.

Good.

Let's turn the final into our festival.

Let's win.

- TEAM RHYTHM, let's debut! - TEAM RHYTHM.

Scream!

Let's debut.

Let's go!

("La Fiesta" by JL, Steven, Zhang Shuaibo, Chih En,)

(Park Ju Won, Daisuke, Seo Jeong Woo)

(Chih En)

(JL)

(JL)

(Park Ju Won)

So cool!

This was "La Fiesta" by TEAM RHYTHM!

Director TEN,

how was it?

Yes, today...

You've worked so hard...

over the past few months.

The performance was especially amazing today.

Watching everyone enjoy themselves...

onstage today...

made me so happy as well.

- You're awesome. - Thanks for your efforts.

Which team among TEAM RHYTHM,

TEAM GROOVE,

and TEAM BEAT will debut?

The voting will now close.

(The voting is now closed.)

(First shoot of Universe League)

- BEAT, GROOVE, RHYTHM. - Oh, RHYTHM.

- There are uniforms! - They're gorgeous.

BEAT, GROOVE, RHYTHM. Oh, it's a different team.

(The first moment with excitement and nervousness)

Do we need to wear it once our team gets decided?

- I want to go to TEAM RHYTHM. - I see.

(The first moment with excitement and nervousness)

- I'll choose TEAM GROOVE. - Okay.

(Park Han)

Please wear your uniforms.

(We became a team once we wore the team uniform.)

Let's go.

(And now, my name is engraved on that uniform.)

I think the only thing I can say is...

TEAM RHYTHM will win the Prism Cup.

To show why I've been chasing my dream all this time...

I'll show you everything I have in the finals.

I put my life on the line.

I'm going to give it my all, no matter what.

I want to...

debut as TEAM BEAT.

(Facing the uniform...)

(that carries our name and story)

"Seo Jeong Woo."

(My own uniform with my name, "Seo Jeong Woo")

"JL."

(My own uniform with my name, "JL")

Gosh, what's this?

(Reading the room)

The close calls and tense moments flashed through my mind.

(Seeing the uniform with his name on it fills him with excitement)

I love it.

(What's this?)

(The fans' messages written beside the uniform)

Did the fans send these messages themselves?

My goodness. This is amazing.

They're messages from the fans.

(Hello. I'm Ju Won's fan in Japan. I'm also a senior in high school.)

(Touched)

There's my name here.

"Han, I hope the final is yours..."

"as you've waited so long for it. I love you so much."

I feel...

It's a bit strange.

Thank you for the support.

"You don't have to dance alone in front of the mirror anymore."

"Please debut and let us hear you sing."

I've realized now...

that it's truly happy...

to stand onstage...

and show myself to others.

So I won't give up, and I'll debut.

"To Kyung Ho, whom I miss so much."

"Thank you for not giving up and doing so well."

"You didn't let the world defeat you. You kept yourself strong."

Thank you so much.

I didn't give up...

because of the fan that wrote this message to me.

I seriously didn't give up...

thanks to the fans.

So I thank you.

I'm all teary now. I'm in trouble.

Hee Jun must've cried reading this.

"To Hee Jun, who said this was your last challenge,"

"I hope this becomes a new start, not the end. Cheering for you."

One, two, three, tears!

"Kwon Hee Jun."

"I think it's time for you to debut now."

(He sobs uncontrollably.)

"You shine onstage now."

"You must debut, Hee Jun. You can do it!"

"Hee Jun, thank you for enduring until now."

"I love you so much,"

"and let's walk on a path of flowers from now on."

I'll...

debut no matter what...

and repay all this love.

(I'll debut no matter what and repay all this love.)

I can't do this anymore.

"The strongest center, Kenta."

(The strongest center, Kenta)

Will I suit the center?

"Kenta, you're an awesome singer..."

"and performer. I like your deep voice..."

"when you sing 'Prison.'"

"Prison" is really...

My voice is low,

but I love it.

Please give lots of love to "Prison,"

and listen to it often.

Promise me, everyone.

Oh, is this the hand gesture in Korea?

In Japan, we do it like this.

What's this? "Even if your voice cracks, you're still the best."

(Even if your voice cracks, you're still the best, Kim Gi Joong.)

"Even if your voice cracks, you're still the best, Kim Gi Joong."

I'll practice harder...

for my voice not to crack.

"Koo Han Seo,"

"go get that trophy!"

"Joo Hyoung, make history."

"Make history."

I'll be together with TEAM GROOVE.

I'll make history with them. Please stay tuned.

(I'll make history with TEAM GROOVE.)

"How are you?"

"It must've been hard for you to be the eldest on the team."

"Thank you for always being by TEAM BEAT."

"I was happy to see you every week."

"I hope I can see you more often."

It wasn't hard at all to be the eldest on the team.

There was no such hardship.

The members gave back...

as much as I put in.

"Thank you for always being by TEAM BEAT."

This is what I want to say to the members.

Thank you.

(Thank you, everyone.)

"Even when I couldn’t hear anything about you,"

"I always waited for you."

"Now, I want to become a strong fan..."

"you can always rely on..."

Meeting you all...

made me rely on you and be happy.

I could have this bright energy...

thanks to you all.

(All thanks to the fans)

"Sirin, baby,"

"we saw your efforts."

"Don't give up on your dreams. Your voice is amazing."

Everyone knows that this is my dream.

Thank you to everyone who supports me.

"You can do it! I love you."

Thank you so much.

I love my fans too.

I'm grateful and feel strengthened...

by the fact...

that I can continue to receive support from someone.

"Zen Zen, you're seriously talented,"

"positive, and funny."

"You're doing so well."

"I'll vote for you until the end."

My goodness.

This message is...

I feel like I'm going to cry.

My gosh.

(Choked up)

Oh, my.

My favorite performance so far...

was...

(What was your favorite performance on Universe League?)

"Give Me That."

It was a stage we worked so hard to prepare for...

when TEAM RHYTHM first came together,

and the energy...

Everything we felt during that performance...

will be something I'll never forget.

That stage is my all-time favorite.

"When your name was called by Directors TEN and YANGYANG,"

"you cried, and I can't forget that."

"I thought about the difficulty..."

"you must've faced after coming to Korea at the age of 14."

"Still, I’m proud of how you've been persevering,"

"working hard, and staying bright."

"Let's debut, Daisuke. I love you."

"Jeong Woo, you turned..."

"a world that was hard to live in into one we want to live in."

"You're like Superman."

"Seeing you work hard, even when it’s tough,"

"to become an idol made me think,"

"'I should work hard too.'"

"'I need to live so that one day...'"

"'I can meet you.'"

"Seo Jeong Woo, you can do it! I love you."

"Thank you for not giving up on your dreams."

"Let's debut in Universe League," Steven!"

"Don't be stressed. You're already amazing."

"Don't compare yourself to others."

"Because you're already perfect the way you are."

"You just need to enjoy the journey..."

"with TEAM RHYTHM."

(The love of their fans are engraved deeply in their heats.)

(The love of their fans are engraved deeply in their heats.)

I think I'll cry.

(If you could frame one moment from Universe League,)

(what would it be?)

Why is this so sad?

I feel sad all of a sudden.

Seriously.

(He holds back his tears and reads the messages from the fans.)

(He holds back his tears and reads the messages from the fans.)

Seriously.

"JL, you should know that..."

(JL, you made my life better.)

"You should know that you made my life so much better."

"You inspire me to be a better version of myself."

"I feel..."

"I feel like I can do it too."

"You're such a ray of sunshine."

"Don't ever lose that beautiful smile of yours."

"I wish you all the best in life. I'm always..."

(I hope your life is always full of luck.)

Seriously.

(The reason behind JL's tears)

This is because...

before I came to Universe League,

I worried a lot.

(I was worried about whether I could do well.)

Looking at this comment,

(The warm words from the fans comforted him and made him cry.)

I feel so happy.

"We know your wounds well."

"I wanted to say this to you."

"I'm truly grateful for your courage."

(I wanted to say this to you. I'm truly grateful for your courage.)

"I'm so excited to see how your smile will..."

"warm the hearts of so many people."

"I hope your future is filled with shining days."

"I’ll always be by your side."

"Please keep going."

"Never stop."

"I'm always rooting for you."

Thank you for all the support.

I'll try my best to repay all this love.

Please stay tuned...

and continue loving us.

I love you.

(To all the fans, thank you, and we love you.)

You can do this!

(Park Han)

Let's go!

(Steven, Park Han is the best.)

(Park Ju Won, Seo Jeong Woo, Chih En,)

If we can start with JL, please.

(Daisuke, Park Han, Cha Woong Ki)

Hi.

I'm...

RHYTHM... Am I no longer in TEAM RHYTHM?

JL of AHOF.

First off...

First off, thank you very much...

to everyone who made this happen.

Actually, before coming to Korea,

I was extremely worried.

Little did I know I'd receive...

so much love and attention from many of you...

onstage.

I want to thank everyone...

who has joined me...

in my journey on Universe League.

I love you, my directors.

My friends.

Especially my new family.

I love you, AHOF.

And...

I love you all so much.

I love you.

I will work harder from now on. Thank you.

JL!

Please hand the mic over to the next player. Thanks.

Let's hear it from Steven.

- Hi. I'm Steven. - Steven!

Firstly, I'm very grateful...

to Universe League.

Thank you for giving me...

the opportunities and experiences.

Secondly, to my fans.

Thank you to my fans for rooting for me...

and loving me until the very end.

And I'd like to thank the agency...

for giving me the chance...

to be on this show.

Directors. I love you.

Thank you very much...

for choosing me from the beginning...

and helping me perform in TEAM RHYTHM...

from start to finish...

and shine. I love you.

Right.

To the trainees...

I'm unable to debut with.

Really.

You are all cool,

good at what you're doing, and amazing.

Let's succeed...

and meet at the TV stations.

Let's listen to Zhang Shuaibo's speech next.

Thank you.

Zhang Shuaibo!

Hi, I'm Zhang Shuaibo.

Being able to meet everyone again...

through Universe League...

makes me so happy.

Thank you very much...

to the fans who voted for me.

Before starting again,

I...

- Don't cry, Zhang Shuaibo! - Zhang Shuaibo!

I...

- You did well! - Good job!

Before starting again, I...

wasn't sure if...

I could...

Thank you.

- All right. - You're the best, Zhang Shuaibo!

Let's hear it from Park Ju Won next.

Right now,

this very moment feels very surreal.

Thank you to my fans...

for loving me...

and adoring me despite how much I lack.

And...

As much as the love I received,

I will always smile next to you...

and work hard to become a singer...

who can make you smile. Thank you.

Also, thank you to the directors.

I have learned a lot. Thank you to my teacher.

Lastly,

let's keep in touch.

Okay. Let's listen to Daisuke's speech next.

Hi. I'm Daisuke.

Performing...

in TEAM RHYTHM...

from start to end...

made me...

really happy. Really.

I'd like to thank...

the directors. Thank you very much.

But...

I'm...

still too young.

With the others...

I will work hard...

with the other older members.

I am in your care.

Yes.

Next is Seo Jeong Woo's speech.

Hi. I'm Seo Jeong Woo.

First off, everything on Universe League...

was a first for me. It was unfamiliar and awkward.

Thank you to my fellow trainees,

who have helped me every time.

And thank you...

to the production crew, who always took great care of us.

My parents, always supporting me from afar...

and cheering me on in whatever I do.

Thank you very much.

Thank you to my younger sibling.

And thank you to my fans for loving me...

despite how much I lack. I love you.

(Seo Jeong Woo)

All right. Chih En's speech is next.

Hi. I'm Chih En of Universe League.

Firstly, I'd like to thank my fans and family...

for loving me and rooting for me...

until now.

Thanks to everyone, I'm able to stand here.

And thank you to my TEAM RHYTHM members...

for taking care of me.

I'd like to express how much I love them.

Lastly, I have a player...

I want to thank dearly while participating in Universe League.

And it's Kwon Hee Jun.

Actually, I...

Whenever I have it hard or am worried,

I'm the type to endure it and not tell others.

But being with me during those times...

and thinking about my problems together...

cheered me up.

It would've been nice if we had debuted together.

It's a shame we can't.

From now on,

I will always do my best...

and put on...

the greatest performances.

Please love and root for me.

Great work to all the players and production crew.

I love you. Thank you.

(Cha Woong Ki, Congratulations on your debut.)

Good work.

Next is Cha Woong Ki.

This is the moment I've been dreaming of...

for years.

I'll forget about...

all those times I've failed.

As a member of AHOF,

I will only move forward.

Our...

Our members of TEAM BEAT who wanted to...

but couldn't join us in the final performances.

You will forever live in my heart as members of TEAM BEAT.

Our team was in third place from start to finish.

No!

Even if it was just once,

I hoped we could've gotten a better result.

To the members of TEAM BEAT, who have always been...

in first place in my heart.

Thank you for being by my side.

I want to tell them how much I relied on them...

and that they cheered me on.

And thank you to everyone who gives me energy...

and cheers for me. I love you.

(Cha Woong Ki)

And lastly, let's listen to Park Han.

Park Han!

Congratulations!

- Right. - Congratulations!

I'm in total bliss right now.

The seven years...

made my debut feel out of my reach.

Thinking those long years...

finally...

bore fruit makes me incredibly happy.

And Director Chang Sub,

who always embraced us with love.

Thank you very much.

And the members of GROOVE.

It's a shame...

we can't debut together.

But I will be rooting for everyone's future.

And I once mentioned...

that I wanted to perform on a stage,

and not dance and sing before a mirror.

I'm happy my first performance was in front of you.

- Don't say that! - Come on!

I will forever return the kindness. Thank you.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the nine members...

for achieving their dream of debuting.

And great work to all the Universe League players...

who have performed together.

Now then, these are the members of the debut team, AHOF.
