THE FINALE
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ welcome back to the finale of idol academy! god... i'm feeling so many emotions right now. i'm so happy for whoever makes it to the debut group, but i'm also so sad for the show to end. i'm sure everyone feels the same
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ our twelve girls just performed the theme song as well as their own solos, so now it's time to reveal the final votes. your fates will be determined now. this is so scary!!
❝ CHUU ( COUNSELOR ) ❞ it is really scary! but i'm really excited to finally see who's in sky high and see what all they do when they debut! thank you girls for participating on the show, we loved having each and every one of you!
❝ IRENE ( TEACHER ) ❞ agreed. though there were ups and downs, i'm proud of you all for overcoming them. i'm wishing the best of luck for all of your futures, sky high or not. thanks for being such hard-working students!
❝ CHAEYEON ( TEACHER ) ❞ i really enjoyed being your teacher, girls! i see so much potential and talent in every single one of you and i have no doubts that you all will succeed in everything you want to do! i hope you all stay happy and healthy and end up where you're supposed to be.
❝ TAEYEON ( TEACHER ) ❞ girls, it's been a pleasure working with you all these past few months. although i offered many of you a lot of criticsm, i did it so you could learn from your mistakes and improve. i think it worked too because you twelve are more talented than you even know! good luck!
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ i've loved having you all too! but this isn't goodbye. not at all! i hope to meet you all again someday! maybe sky high and ateez can even collaborate someday! i'll make it happen
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ we keep talking about sky high but still don't even know who's made it yet! i'm literally DYING trying not to scream out your names and celebrate!
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ so here we go! i have the seven names of the sky high members in my hands right now on this cue card and let me just tell you...
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ ah, no more suspense! let's announce our official sky high members right now!
──────────────────
the twelve girls had their backpacks
on as they stood in a line together on
the stage , either going on to graduate
or to go home empty - handed . they
all held hands , all shaking with fear
──────────────────
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ we are first going to announce our second place girl, then third, and so on! then after announcing the sixth place, we will announce the first place and then the suspenseful seventh member of sky high! sound good? alright, y'all keep holding hands and let's begin.
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ with 976,102 votes, our second member is a total mood-maker and one of the most confident students in our school, so it's no surprise that she's made the lineup with her eye-catching presence and killer raps. it's no other than our former class president... hunter lee!
hunter was freaking out , staring
straight at the camera trying to
process that she was debuting !!!
❝ HUNTER LEE ❞ i cannot believe that i actually made it, it feels surreal. just yesterday i was betting with my friends about it and here i am. yoojung-ah, you owe me ₩20,000! jokes aside, i want to thank everyone who believed in me. i truly wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. i'm still young and have a lot to learn, but i'm glad you betted on me. this is just the beginning of my journey and i hope you'll all stay by my side throughout it. to my future teammates i wanna say that i'll do my best to always keep the mood high! thank you to everyone again, i won't disappoint you!
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ wait hunter, did you really make a bet with your friend that you would debut?
❝ HUNTER LEE ❞ yeah seriously! this is the best day ever! i'm debuting and i get ₩20,000!
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ that's hilarious! let's see who else is going to have the best day ever and join sky high...
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ our third ranking girl had 888,011 votes and is a girl you all know and love dearly for her wild spirit and the ability to our dance anyone! she's our maknae, the first student to enroll in idol academy, and certainly a lucky charm, even being born on 11/11! congratulations to choi ivy, you've made the final lineup!
like hunter , ivy couldn't even
believe what yeosang had just
said . she hugged hunter with
a dazed look on her face
❝ CHOI IVY ❞ oh. oh? oh! thank you all so much! this was really unexpected, i can't believe i got this far! thank you, thank you to the audience, the hosts, the mentors, my family, the other trainees, you! i still can't process what i'm going through - thank you for supporting me and voting for me! this position means a lot to me, and i'd be so happy to be debuting here! i guess my birthday was kind of lucky after all! i'll promise i'll try my best in the future! xoxo, ivy!
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ our lineup is already looking really good! shall we reveal the next member?
the remaining ten were feeling
super nervous as they waited
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ ah, of course this girl is debuting, earning this spot with 855,981 votes! she's skilled at anything she tries, and she knows it! her stage presence is unmatched too, so i can't wait to watch her kill it on music shows! bow down everyone, our very own princess na yeonwoo is joining sky high!
she was grinning super big . she
hadn't doubted herself for a moment
and it felt great for her hard work to
finally pay off with this opportunity !
hugging ivy and hunter , she then
began to give her graduation speech
❝ NA YEONWOO ❞ i would like to thank the viewers, the judges, the voters and for believing in me. i'd also like to thank my wonderful contestants for helping me improve, just how i helped improve your fashion sense, just kidding. thank you for letting me debut and allowing me to follow my dream.
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ why am i so intimidated by these three already? this isn't going to be just any rookie group... let's see who else is talented enough to join them up here
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ the next member of sky high was voted for 843,702 times and is truly a fan favorite. her creativity is out of this world and so is her energy on and off the stage. it's another 03 liner joining the lineup, and it's no other than our queen of all things horror, won soul! congrats!
won soul 's reaction to her name
being called was hilarious . she
literally began running in a circle
around the stage with pure joy !
and as she gave her speech , she
couldn't stop smiling so big
❝ WON SOUL ❞ oh my gosh! i can't believe this... it feels like a miracle and a dream to be right here now. i want to thank everyone that has helped me along the way, and putting up with my pranks. thank you so much for this!
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ three rappers in the lineup already?! i'm sure some vocalists will be picked soon, right? let's see...
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ with 810,414 votes, i'm sure it's no surprise to anyone that this girl is joining sky high. she'll be the eldest member, and she's going to be a great leader in my opinion, after all of the experience she's gained on the show! but other than her leadership, she's a true performer at heart, from ballet in her early years to her beautiful vocals she's shown us throughout the show. of course this girl is our current class president, jeon danbi!
danbi covered her face and squat
as she began to cry . everyone rushed
to her side to congratulate her and hug
her . it was so sweet to see her relief
❝ JEON DANBI ❞ thank you so much! i couldn't imagine making it this far. thank you for all your love and support! i love you all!
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ alright! at this point, we've already revealed five members of the final lineup, sky high: hunter, ivy, yeonwoo, won soul, and danbi. we only have two more girls to reveal, the first and seventh spots.
there were only two spots left , and a
lot more girls who were feeling scared
that they wouldn't get a spot . they
were so anxious they could explode
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ i will now reveal the number one ranked girl. she had a crazy amount of votes — 1,204,334 votes to be exact. she's always received compliments on her golden voice, her ability to take on any dance or challenge that comes her way, and her professionalism. we think she'll make a great idol! i am so proud to announce that bae jieun has made the lineup as the top ranked girl!
jieun looked like she was going to
faint , the news and everyone 's cheers
overwhelmed her . she was showered
with love from her fellow students . it
was so huge for her to receive this spot !
teary - eyed and voice shaking , she said
❝ BAE JIEUN ❞ oh wow, wait a second...
she literally had to look back at
the screen to confirm its her
❝ BAE JIEUN ❞ yeah, it's me. oh my god, i had not expected this. all the hardships i went through, it feels as though it wasn't in vain. thank you so so so much everyone for the overwhelming love and support you all amazing people have given me. i can't even express in words how grateful i am. mom! dad! wonie! look, it's me! i did it! are you proud? i will not let you all down! watch over me world! LOVE YOU ALL!
she sent flying kisses to the camera
as the crowd went wild for her
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ jieun fighting! i'm sure your family is so proud of you, just like all of your fans, including us, are.
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ so i guess that leaves us with one more member, the seventh spot in the lineup, yet there are six girls here on the stage waiting nervously for their names to be called. i will now announce the final sky high member, so i'm so sorry if your name is not called tonight.
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ alright, here i go. our seventh member is nothing short of a charmer, and we can see that by her whopping 802,626 votes. we all know her and love her as she has been a great friend and helper to all, and we are so happy that she is going to make the final lineup tonight. her honey vocals, high notes, and versatility are surely what's earned her this opportunity tonight. ah, why am i nervous... congratulations to yeo jangmi! you are the seventh member of sky high!
jangmi burst out into tears instantly .
it was scary being the last one called ,
but she was so , so happy that she was
eventually . the five girls who did not
make it unfortunately were still proud
of her and hugged her as she bawled .
it was a good two minutes before she
could even collect herself to speak
❝ YEO JANGMI ❞ thank you so much! i never thought i would make it so far into this show, i didn't even think i would get a chance to debut so, thank you to the ones who supported me! jiyeon-ah, are you happy now? your sister is finally debuting! i'll treat you later, okay? i love you! to my friends, i hope we get to debut together! thank you again!
her voice shook throughout her
whole speech , and after she was
finished , she turned to her group
members and hugged them . for the
first time , sky high was together .
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ wow, i could cry too! here you have it folks. this is sky high! give them a round of applause. they have genuinely worked so hard for this and i cannot wait to see what they have in store for us as a group!
meanwhile , the remaining five
girls on the stage comforted one
another , knowing they were done
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ as for the five girls who didn't make it, i apologize to you profusely. you have also all worked so, so hard and we are so proud of you still! best of luck for your futures! please give us one last speech, as you are now formally expelled.
───────────────────
❝ YANG CHAEWON ❞ uhm, well, wow! i don't really know what to say but uhm, i'm sorry for everyone who was rooting for me and that i let you and myself down. i will learn from my mistakes and do better moving forward. this isn't the end of me and i'm sure i'll see you all again, thank you!
❝ SHIN DOYEON ❞ thank you to everyone who has supported me on the journey, and to all the wonderful trainees and staff members who have helped me throughout. i am disappointed to be leaving this soon, but i will work on myself and come back as an even better doyeon!
jangmi could be seen still crying
from the other side of the stage ,
but not from happiness anymore ,
for heartbreak knowing she would
not be debuting alongside doyeon
❝ ELLA MOON ❞ this is truly not the outcome i wanted. i feel disappointed in myself, i haven't showed my best through this period, but i promise i'll work hard. i'll work harder so i can debut. i promise, fighting.
❝ IM SEOHYUNG ❞ oh, well before i go i would like to thank my fellow students, all of them made me feel so loved and i sincerely hope you all accomplished your hopes and dreams. i would also like to thank the teachers and everybody who helped me get better at my skills. i am so grateful for them passing on their wisdom to me. i'm very dissatisfied with myself especially since i think i didn't show my full potential as yet but besides that, i loved every single moment of being here and i wish you all good luck and hope to debut someday
❝ GWAN SUBIN ❞ to be fully honest, i didn't see this coming. i thought i was good enough to debut, and i apologize that i wasn't. still, i want to say congratulations to the rest of you! i know you can do it!
───────────────────
those five sadly waved everyone
their last goodbyes and exited
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ gosh, my heart hurts. but i am still so excited for sky high! best of luck to you all! i heard your debut is coming up soon...!
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ so dear viewers, this is where our semester ends. we want to give you our genuine thanks for keeping up with us and supporting our students every step of the way. we couldn't have done it without you all! and we do encourage you to continue to support them with the debut of sky high this september!
❝ YEOSANG ( HOST ) ❞ this has been idol academy! kang yeosang, over and out! goodbye everyone! class is dismissed...
───────────────────
as the episode came to an end ,
the sky high girls were still jumping
with joy to know they would debut
soon together alongside each other
but what excited them even more
was the surprise for them outside ...
their very own pink school bus with
their name ' sky high ' on the side
was waiting for them after school .
and just like that , school was out !
