MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; are you guys tired? please take the next 40 minutes to wander and eat some of the provided snacks!
shall we take a look at what
some of the trainees are doing
during this break time?
KWON YIJAE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [sighs] a break? but we only have two groups left..
PARK ROSE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; yeah, but we've been sitting in these chairs a little too long
PARK ROSE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i need a walk if we're going to perform soon
rose stands up and lingers
in their row for a moment
PARK ROSE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; you guys want snacks?
KWON YIJAE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i'll get some in a little bit...
SEO RYEON [ 4 ☆ rue ] ; [slowly stands up behind rose] i'll come with you...
PARK ROSE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; oh, [peaks behind her] okay
rose and ryeon depart on the stairs,
but she stops at the bottom
PARK ROSE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; sevyn, do you want snacks?
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [blinks] there are snacks? where? [looks around slowly]
PARK ROSE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; they set up a table by the tv
this group of three just get
snacks and take a walk
speaking of taking a walk...
there are like 4 different groups
walking around and exploring the set
HEO JUNGJIN [ 4 ☆ rue ] ; now, where does this door lead to?
the door in question is on
the left side of the room
HEO JUNGJIN [ 4 ☆ rue ] ; [gets hit with wind] wooah
MIN SUHO [ 3 ☆ lane ] ; [rushes] IT GOES OUTSIDE?!
JI YUJUN [ 4 ☆ lunae ] ; well yeah, there's an exit sign above it
HEO JUNGJIN [ 4 ☆ rue ] ; what exit sign?
SEO KAIRO [ 5 ☆ lane ] ; based on what we've seen of the building, they needed to have an emergency exit to fit into fire regulations
SEO KAIRO [ 5 ☆ lane ] ; wouldn't want us burning alive in here-
so true kairo
HEO JUNGJIN [ 4 ☆ rue ] ; [looking up] has that always been there?
YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3.5 ☆ lunae ] ; uh huh!
YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3.5 ☆ lunae ] ; can we go outside now? or will we get in trouble?
soonyoung, you're already halfway out the door
JI YUJUN [ 4 ☆ lunae ] ; oh yeah [frowns] won't we get in trouble?
JI YUJUN [ 4 ☆ lunae ] ; i can't get kicked off the show already it's been like 5 seconds
MIN SOOYUN [ 4 ☆ lunae ] ; [wide eyes] they'd kick us off for going outside?
MIN SOOYUN [ 4 ☆ lunae ] ; no no no, i won't go
HEO JUNGJIN [ 4 ☆ rue ] ; WAIT don't back out! if we couldn't go outside they would've stopped us the moment we opened the door
HEO JUNGJIN [ 4 ☆ rue ] ; there should be no problem with us getting fresh air if we're back in time!
SEO KAIRO [ 5 ☆ lane ] ; [returned after walking away] yerim said they legally can't kick us off the show for going outside as it doesn't say that in our contract
MIN SUHO [ 3 ☆ lane ] ; i didn't understand any of that [smiles brightly] BUT i agree with the 'going outside' notion!
suho tugs on his sister's arm
MIN SUHO [ 3 ☆ lane ] ; come on! let's go breathe a little! [runs outside]
MIN SOOYUN [ 4 ☆ lunae ] ; but i can breathe just fine...
YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3.5 ☆ lunae ] ; sooyun! let's go enjoy the sun! [pulls sooyun out with her]
it feels like sooyun has 2 siblings on this show...
JI YUJUN [ 4 ☆ lunae ] ; [holding the door] hey, i don't remember your name
SEO KAIRO [ 5 ☆ lane ] ; [blinks]
JI YUJUN [ 4 ☆ lunae ] ; but i really wanna go outside and i REALLY don't want to hit you with a door in the process
JI YUJUN [ 4 ☆ lunae ] ; so if you could follow them it'd be much appreciated
SEO KAIRO [ 5 ☆ lane ] ; ah yes sorry! [follows the other 4 out the door]
sadly we don't have any footage
from after they went outside, but
we did pick up a lot of screaming
not in a dying sense, but more
so through a piggy back race
that seemed to happen...?
two other groups began as one
but split up when they arrived
at 2 different doors
LEE NAYEON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; [dramatically raises a finger] one should take the road less travelled on!
ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ guardianz ] ; we've been down neither of these paths
LEE NAYEON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; i see, well then, we should split up to see the most possible!
LEE NAYEON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; should we reform the guardianz? and have these 2 travel alone
DO DAEWON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; well, that seems harsh
only one of the 2 mentioned came by choice
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [bites lip] why don't we just go together?
hoyeon, you want to be a full group?
this is the first time you've spoken to 3 of them...
"real" - seungjun when talking about
this exchange in an interview
LEE NAYEON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; because there's too much to explore!
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [mouth straightens]
BAE JEONGHOON [ 2 ☆ lunae ] ; we could split based on seats? i believe the top right corner is going strong!
ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ guardianz ] ; wasn't that name different earlier?
BAE JEONGHOON [ 2 ☆ lunae ] ; [shrugs] i don't know, my memory isn't always 100% accurate
ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ guardianz ] ; right... well, let's just do that or else we won't be seeing anything
that does split up the 'shy' people
in this group of 7 properly
sorry to viewers, however,
as you are unable to see the
footage that followed this!
now onto the last group of explorers
that uncovered the... um... elevator?
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; [in the elevator] have you ever heard of the elevator game?
MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ rue ] ; uh... get me out GET ME OUT
seongmin attempts to leave the
elevator, but the doors have just shut
MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ rue ] ; [slowly turns around] ha ha ha
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; [blinks] why..?
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; i'm not trying to hurt you?
ma'am that sounds suspicious
MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ rue ] ; the one time i played that game, i almost died
JANG GYEONG [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; [holding onto audrey's arm] eh?!
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; [intrigued] what happened?
MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ rue ] ; my mom [shivers] i don't want to talk about it...
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; oh.. well!
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; i hear food upstairs
JANG GYEONG [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; that's why we're here? but there are snacks on set already?
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; [shakes head] i don't know korean
you know, i'm pretty sure you saw the snacks though...
MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ rue ] ; are you paying? [points at self] no money
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; wouldn't it be free since we work here?
MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ rue ] ; no... wait is it?
JANG GYEONG [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; the cafe wouldn't be free...
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; really?
the elevator doors open
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; [presses a button again, shutting the door]
AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ miracle ] ; me no money
as this group returns to settle for the
provided snacks, we are able to see 3
trainees standing in the top right corner
KAWAHARA KEI [ 5 ☆ lunae] ; oh this is a lot higher
KAWAHARA KEI [ 5 ☆ lunae] ; [visibly shaking] they should've put the 5 stars up here
are you sure you would've wanted that?
JEONG AURAE [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; but you're shaking?
JEONG AURAE [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; are you afraid of heights?
LEE HANEUL [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; [gasps] AURAE!
LEE HANEUL [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; you can't ask that! you're popping his golden 5-star bubble!!
JEONG AURAE [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; [eyes] his what now?
JEONG AURAE [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; being afraid of heights won't destroy his image, if that's what you mean?
LEE HANEUL [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; YES IT WILL! he has to be untouchable!
KAWAHARA KEI [ 5 ☆ lunae] ; untouchable..?
JEONG AURAE [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; he seems touchable to me [pokes kei's shoulder]
LEE HANEUL [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; [whines] AUUUURAAAEEEE! STOPPPPPPPPPPP
KAWAHARA KEI [ 5 ☆ lunae] ; [blinks] what?
JEONG AURAE [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; ignore him. now, are you afraid of heights?
LEE HANEUL [ 4 ☆ miracle ] ; [whines] AUUUURAAAEEEE!
KAWAHARA KEI [ 5 ☆ lunae] ; no, it's just colder up here...
moving on, to the other corner...
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i must be dreaming because...
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; wait, how old are you?
BAEK SOORAM [ 2 ☆ rue ] ; 19
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [blinks] oh wow! you're a baby!
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; like goo goo ga ga
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i'll be right back to this convo, hold up
sol leans forward the 3 in front of her
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; hey, please tell me you guys aren't recently turned adults
SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ lane ] ; [turns her head] i wouldn't be here if that was the case
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i didn't realize you were so stunning [blinks]
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [smirks] you seeing anyone?
KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ lane ] ; yeah! she's dating [muffled name because his mouth is covered]
ROSALIA CHEON [ 3.5 ☆ lane ] ; [covering jaehyuk's mouth] sorry sorry, he's speaking gibberish~
KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ lane ] ; [muffled arguments]
i'm gonna let them be...
well, it seems the trainees' break time
is over as they are called to their seats
once the group is all found (seohyang and
kyuhyun were in random corners-) and
seated, misun appeared on screen again
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; welcome back everyone! i hope you enjoyed your break because we still have 2 more performances before our next one!
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; speaking of performances, let's call for our next one!
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; diamond5 or batch 4, are you ready?!
KWON YIJAE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; we aren't last!
PARK ROSE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; looks like your wishes came true~
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; but we could've been saved as the best for last
PARK ROSE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; oh, you probably shouldn't have said that
KWON YIJAE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [frowns] i forgot about that...
anyway, these three collected their
other members before making their
way to the review room
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; ready, set, go
DIAMOND5 ; Watch out! We may be good looking, but our shimmer is expensive - hello we are DIAMOND5!
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; any of you have money i can borrow?
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; i believe you can't buy them misun
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; the shimmer might be expensive, but if you guys help, the purchase should be easy~
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; are you doing a sales pitch? because i decline, i have enough shimmer already
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; you don't have our shimmer
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; exactly!
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; well, she could've gotten some for free
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; actually, it could still be up for grabs
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i'm going to end whatever this entire conversation is, the joke is going to far
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [smiles] i do really like the intro though
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; it's also interesting that one, if not more, of you could possibly be a diamond twice
will any of them get a diamond as a suit?
well, let's start their
performances so we can find out!
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; you guys have 2 solo performances?
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; would one of you want to go first?
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [shakes head]
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i will
ok, sol... let's see what you prepared!
⋆☆⋆
MY HOUSE performed by DIAMOND5
LIU SOL as DOHA
⋆☆⋆
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; well [clears throat] that was something
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; [trying to stifle laughter, but fails] i guess you could say that
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; even i can tell that these skills are horrendous, but i'm not gonna lie, i was into it
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; misun, don't flirt with the contestants
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i wasn't! i just meant the performance had a certain spark even though they lack in skill
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; she isn't wrong, i couldn't really look away and it kept me quite entertained
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; even though there's way too much for me to critique for her training
so, the performance was bad but also good...?
we aren't going to dwell on it, let's move
onto the next performance, but wait...
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; my house again?
you are correct sir, both sol and hoyeon
prepared 'my house' but what made
them come to this conclusion?
⋆☆⋆
EARLY ON IN THE
INITIAL REVIEW MISSION
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i think it'd be best if we do a 3:2 split, so it's easier to show ourselves
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; and from this list, i believe tomboy could be our 3 person stage as any of us could fit it?
most of the group is silent
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; what do you think?
PARK ROSE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i'd like to do tomboy..
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i'll also join that..
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; okay, and i will finish off the 3, so yijae and sol can choose their own song?
the group agrees, but after watching the
dance practice, one of them backed out
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; uh... i think we'd be better off if i switched performances with yijae
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; oh [blinks] are you sure?
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [silently nods]
SEVYN LEE [ 5 ☆ diamond5 ] ; you can go ahead and ask her then?
hoyeon makes his way over to
sol and yijae who are still trying to
pick a song from the provided list
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; yijae, would you want to do tomboy instead?
KWON YIJAE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [looks up from her paper, observing]
KWON YIJAE [ 4 ☆ diamond5 ] ; sure? were you looking to switch?
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [nods]
with that yijae joined the trio, leaving
hoyeon and sol to decide on a song instead
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; instead of doing a duo performance, it'd be fun to perform solo
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; but with the same song?
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; and [grins] my house would fit my vibe the best
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; what do you think?
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [bites lip and nods] we can do that...
so that's how the 'my house'
duo happened, but why does
hoyeon seem so hesitant?
TRAINEE INTERVIEW
STAFF ; what were your thoughts while choosing the songs?
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i did want to perform tomboy, but with my current level...
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; i didn't want to drag anyone down
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [takes a breath] but my house...
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; it really isn't my style
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [sighs] you think it is don't you..?
STAFF ; [silent response]
STAFF ; then why didn't you suggest something else?
MO HOYEON [ 0 ☆ diamond5 ] ; um... i barely left tomboy
the one who wanted to perform
'my house' vs the one that didn't
how will their performances be different?
⋆☆⋆
MY HOUSE performed by DIAMOND5
MO HOYEON as MINGYU
⋆☆⋆
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; oh um... [wordlessly puts on a sticker]
compared to sol's performance,
there seems to be a stiffer reaction
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; so we weren't pulling a bad and good concept by using the same song
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; but a bad and worse?
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; it's weird because hoyeon actually pulled off the dance better than sol, but the performance was worse
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; it's the spark
✨ the spark ✨
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; we all enjoyed sol's performance even though it was terrible because they had a spark
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; while hoyeon didn't
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; actually, i found that his performance felt forced
considering they didn't want to perform
this song, that's understandable...
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; that explains it well...
after the disappointment created
by my house, the trio took the stage
⋆☆⋆
TOMBOY performed by DIAMOND5
KWON YIJAE as YOUNGSEO [leather jacket]
PARK ROSE as MOA [leather crop]
SEVYN LEE as MOKA [denim crop]
⋆☆⋆
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; after the last two performances, i'm impressed
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; maybe my standards have fallen, but i'd say this was one of the best performances of the day
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; yeah, this group has somehow been the best and worst performers today
some achievement...
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; with the exception of a few stability issues, all three of you performed well vocally
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; dance wise, you guys were concise, but it is still easy to see who isn't lacking in dance the most
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; although, yijae, while less controlled and detailed, your dance wasn't as disruptive as it could've been
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; which is probably due to your energy
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; now, while i can talk about your rapping
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; you mean, your main job?
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; [clears throat] all of you captured the vibe of the song well
we cut out his other comments...
THE STICKERS OF DIAMOND5
⋆☆⋆
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; the producers are rushing me, but you all know who's next, right?
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; guardianz, batch one, you're up!
without further ado, our last group
is seen in the review room
HAK SEUNGJUN [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; [blinks]
EVERYONE ; [blinks silently]
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; you guys have an intro..?
LEE NAYEON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; sorry! yes we're just nervous!
not to point fingers, but only
two of you seem to be
DO DAEWON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; [whispers] junnie~
HAK SEUNGJUN [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; 1, 2, 3
GUARDIANZ [ batch 1 ] ; introducing your protectors: hello! we are guardianz!
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; oh! we have another past survival show contestant
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; [his excitement falters] ah, seungjun, you actually debuted in X1?
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; that's... unfortunate
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; he debuted? i see...
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; that's why he's your leader?
LEE NAYEON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; yep! we decided, since he has the most experience, that he should be our leader!
HAK SEUNGJUN [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; [silently nods]
pause. the producers are surprised
by all the quiet footage of seungjun,
as during the group's practice
this wasn't the case..?
(seungjun right, daewon left)
HAK SEUNGJUN [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; queencard! i'm the top
HAK SEUNGJUN [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; i'm twerking on the runway
DO DAEWON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; i am a queencard!
DO DAEWON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; you wanna be the queencard!
should i ask why daewon and seungjun
are dancing & singing to queencard right now
instead of practicing for their performance?
as their performance came to an end,
one of their teammates spoke up
ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ guardianz ] ; and you told us performing sugar rush ride would be too distracting to our practice
DO DAEWON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; we are practicing, i'm getting seungjun to build his confidence
ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ guardianz ] ; with the song you've been streaming? COME ON
nayeon and kian are watching them
bicker while drinking juice boxes
HAK SEUNGJUN [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; you guys want to dance to something?
HAK SEUNGJUN [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; [eyes shimmering] maybe something in the gg realm?
LEE NAYEON [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; OOO OOO can we do antifragile?!
KIAN HWANG [ 2 ☆ guardianz ] ; dice by nmixx?
this practice somehow turned into
a random dance by the end of it...
but despite that, how did
the performances they
actually practiced for go?
⋆☆⋆
KOKOBOP performed by GUARDIANZ
HAK SEUNGJUN as LEE HWAN [white shoes]
KIAN HWANG as DONGPYO [white shirt]
DO DAEWON as JUNHYUK [flannel]
⋆☆⋆
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; well, this was the best group dance we've seen today, there wasn't a single member that was struggling
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; that's true, but the vocals and rap on the other hand...
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i think it would've been better if you guys just came up here with a dance cover
mnet silence guys
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; then again, we would've been upset about that
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; speak for yourself lily, i'd be okay with that
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [stares]
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; anyway, seungjun was definitely the best vocally and i honestly think he should've gotten more lines
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; since kian, was... well hard to listen to? although you could tell he was trying his best
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; shoving the extra line in there won't make that hurt less lily
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; good thing you can't say anything to daewon, since that's my job-
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; daewon, you are really skilled in dance, but when you left me wishing i had gotten more as you escaped my vision frequently
they don't want hanwool to work-
let's watch the girls!
⋆☆⋆
NONSTOP performed by GUARDIANZ
ANN KIM as AYANA [long sleeves]
LEE NAYEON as RUAN [short sleeves]
⋆☆⋆
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [smiles] this was cute
the two are seen smiling
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; their energy does just create a smile on my face, but before you guys say it
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; there are many things weak points in this performance, except the timing of the dance interaction
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; that is true, the timing of performance was off...
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; ann, i can tell you had all the moves memorized, but your timing and execution was poor
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; while nayeon, you were notably better than ann in those aspects, but excluding your energy, your performance was still quite mediocre
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; ah that's the right word
THEIR STICKERS!
⋆☆⋆
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; this concludes the performance section of the initial review!
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; are you guys feeling relieved?
BIN SEOHYANG [ 1 ☆ miracle ] ; yes
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [chuckles] that was a rhetorical question
BIN SEOHYANG [ 1 ☆ miracle ] ; ...
LIU SOL [ 2 ☆ diamond5 ] ; [soft chuckle]
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; especially since this is only step one of our show!
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; now, enjoy your second break as we finalize your suits!
⋆☆⋆
IN THE REVIEW ROOM
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; we got a handy dandy board for this!
misun proceeds to roll in a board
with 4 sections labeled with the suits
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; ta da!
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; you're making this seem too unserious
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; so what? i'm tired of all the formal serious talk
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; well, shouldn't this be the most serious part?
i mean... maybe?
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; oh come on lily, aren't you tired after brutally murdering some of the trainees?
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; didn't you also do that...?
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; [laughs innocently] i don't recall doing any such thing
a liar
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [sighs] juhyuk, why don't you put up a few trainees you think strongly about
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; sticker wise, of course, i don't need to know your favorites
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; you don't?
while juhyuk was going to actually
move, hanwool moved first
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; hm... i think these are the ones i'm most confident in
hanwool sticks 4 cards to the board
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; do you only care for your hearts?
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; of course not! i put one in clubs
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [glances at the cards still laid out in front of him]
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; did you give everyone a heart?
more like 13/31
[a clip of hanwool putting
a heart sticker 13 times]
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; no...?
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; i do agree with all your cards
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; really?
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; the ones on the board
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [surprised] even the sol one?
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i thought it was obvious they'd be in clubs?
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i also put her in hearts
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; they really just match all the mumbo jumbo i said about hearts
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i'm a fan, but not for the skill
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i see...
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; based on majority, we get to confirm sol then, right?
it seems like it! the first
confirmed suit is sol in hearts
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; shouldn't we just sort those we agree on the most first?
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [shrugs] probably
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; who agrees on nayeon in hearts?
3/4 of them raise their hand, and
this is the same outcome for audrey too
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; i have a feeling we don't even need to ask for hoyeon in clubs
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; [mutters] she's vicious i tell you
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; you literally have a clubs sticker on him
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; well, you could've still asked
the majority rule worked for about 16
more trainees, but this still left 11 trainees
how did they figure these out?
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; i actually thought kairo was quite appealing
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; even though his skill level is quite low
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; you think 42% of them are appealing, i don't think that judgement stands
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; well... he is attractive
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; that doesn't mean we put him in hearts?
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; what can i say? that's the only thing i'm good at noting
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; why don't we rock paper scissors our splits?
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; [blinks] that makes our reviews pointless
exactly why they ended up doing it i guess...
the use of rock paper scissors and
rushed arguments is how they got
their final groupings
or so they hoped, but why are
there 11 people in hearts?
[the board currently consists of
10 in spades, 11 in hearts, and 5
in both diamonds & spades]
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; hanwool, you just had to be good at rock paper scissors, huh?
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; [raises hands] don't blame me-
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; can we listen to my kairo suggestions now?
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; ...i guess...
well, that switch didn't fix the dilemma completely
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; [empty laugh] we should've considered the pre-selected member counts
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; that's no fun
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; is this fun?
after a moment of silence,
all 4 of them stand in front
of the board to re-sort
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; when did spades get 11 cards???
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; it always had 11
misun snuck in seungjun's card-
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; the diamond5 trio can't all be in spades
LILY SUH [ the vocal expert ] ; but do we move rose or yijae?
yes, sevyn is a 3-mentor
confirmed spade
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; well, we need more diamonds...
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; [grabs yijae's card instead and places it in hearts instead]
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; oops my hand slipped
BAEK HANWOOL [ the rap expert ] ; then i'll move gyeong instead...
it looks like this finishes spades
MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; not to make suho do the hokey pokey or anything, but i think it's safe to transfer him to diamonds
JIN JUHYUK [ the dance expert ] ; ah yes, the wild card
following suho, ann and daewon
were also moved from hearts, helping
to finish the final 9:8:7:7 split

after a long meal break to let the mentors
decide the suits, the trainees all return
to the waiting room, finding...
new cards on their seats?
YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3.5 ☆ lunae ] ; [picks up the card] they already made our 1 star cards?
YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3.5 ☆ lunae ] ; [twists and turns it] OH!
YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3.5 ☆ lunae ] ; there's a spade on the back...
YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3.5 ☆ lunae ] ; what does this mean?
HAK SEUNGJUN [ 4 ☆ guardianz ] ; [shocked next to her by a matching spade]
MIN SUHO [ 3 ☆ lane ] ; [to sooyoung] YOU GOT A SPADE?
MIN SUHO [ 3 ☆ lane ] ; [mumbles something to himself and smiles] CONGRATS!
SEO KAIRO [ 5 ☆ lane ] ; ouch...
kairo: a 5 star to 1 star club
HEO JUNGJIN [ 1 ☆ heart ] ; we can still keep the old cards, right?
yes, you can...
to bring the reveal to an end,
here are the final suits !
BAE JEONGHOON [ 1 ☆ diamond ] ; it seems i've broken up the upper right corner club
ANN KIM [ 1 ☆ club ] ; [frowns] i wish i had broken up the club
the screen slowly shows a zoom
out from the four to capture the
entire room's silenced chatter
before it finally fades out
