Original subtitles

I will introduce the five original songs first.

Because it's a new song just for us... [An original performance with their names on the line]

The song is so good.

[Old School and Retro: "KOOL-AID"]

This is basically a concert.

[Neo and Urban: "Breaking News"]

It's like they jumped out of a comic book.

[Fresh and Cool: "Merry-Go-Round"]

This is basically an awards ceremony.

[Sexy and Bad: "Trigger"]

♫ I'm the bad guy ♫

I think I'm actually going to cry.

[Nostalgic and Sentimental: "Time After Time"]

All members of the first-place team [An unexpected team benefit?]

will receive 10% of their Global Vote points as a benefit.

So, the more votes you have, the bigger your benefit is. [The first ever vote-linked benefit]

I could get to the finals if I had that extra 10%.

I've been in first place on PROJECT 7 a lot,

so I'd like to be in first place again today. [Burning competition for 1st place]

This is a plot twist. [Unexpected results]

I really don't know what to expect.

Did I not do well this time? [Mixed emotions]

I was quite happy.

I felt sad.

I felt like I was going to cry. [Who will receive the Original Match benefit?]

[The day before the performances]

[Rehearsals continue late into the night]

Wasn't Andy supposed to hit it here?

You're supposed to hit near your solar plexus.

How many times does Se Yun have to say don't hit your brows?

This is correct, though.

Sung Min kept getting it wrong today, too.

Why are you picking on me?

Because this is your part.

[The air is heavy suddenly]

[Looking]

[Chuckling]

[Teammates start chuckling during this situation]

[Only Kenshin's face is stiff]

Kenshin.

Kenshin?

- It's Kenshin's birthday today. - Should we pretend like we're fighting?

- What's the story? - To start, I'll...

I'll say: "Andy, why can't you get this right? The performance is tomorrow."

"It's one thing! Sung Min got everything wrong today."

- "Why are you picking on me?" - "You got everything wrong."

[Rehearsing properly]

We're acting.

It's Kenshin's birthday, so...

We'll fight, and then you'll leave, then I'll follow you. [And like this, they're ready to surprise Kenshin]

I was with you guys!

You got it wrong. What's the point in saying you didn't? [Fighting as scripted(?)]

I know I haven't been good at this part, but neither are you.

Why are you picking on me?

Yes, why are you bullying Sung Min suddenly?

I was right. You got it wrong.

Andy...

You're making the vibes really weird right now.

Just disregard it.

[Kyung Bae and Se Yun are giggling at Kenshin's behavior]

The vibes are not good.

[Nervous alone]

So...

Where are you going?

[Andy leaves first as planned]

Why? Why?

[Worried / Funny]

Andy, come back!

[You can't go]

Let me go check on him.

- I should go, too. - No.

- I should go, too. - Se Yun, you take care of the choreography here.

[They try desperately to keep Kenshin from leaving]

[The bad vibes have made Kenshin very serious]

[Andy and Seung Ho are excited to prank Kenshin]

Andy...

[Reading the room]

I don't know what to do.

[You just need to be surprised]

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you, dear Kenshin! ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

[Shocked]

[Making a wish as he blows out the candle]

Oh, my gosh!

I was so surprised!

Give this to Kenshin.

What is this?

It's our dear Kenshin's birthday, so...

We wrote letters for Kenshin.

[Teammates prepared birthday letters]

[Uses a translator]

I think Kenshin is going to cry.

Kenshin? He should definitely cry at this. [He must cry]

With stickers and all... This is no joke.

[A rolling paper for Kenshin is created]

Oh, my gosh, letters? No way.

I'm going to cry.

Are you going to cry?

Wow, but it's all in Korean! [Taken aback by all the Korean written]

Let's read it out loud one by one for Kenshin.

"To Sakurada Kenshin:"

"Hi, Kenshin born in 2007!"

"I made a rolling paper with our teammates for your birthday."

"It's so nice to see you work hard on your birthday, Kenshin."

"Let's make sure we get the first place as your birthday present."

- "To Kenshin: Hi, Kenshin." - Oh, my gosh.

"It's Sung Min, who was in P4, Jealousy, and now Merry-Go-Round with you."

"Thank you for smiling and keeping the vibes up so far,"

"and I want to sincerely wish you a happy birthday."

"I know spending your 18th birthday with us instead of your family"

"might be disappointing, but I hope you have a really good one."

"Keep showing us your awesome smile, kid."

"To Kenshin, from Kim Sung Min."

Thank you!

I love it!

I was so moved.

Thank you.

[Happy birthday, Kenshin!]

Fighting, fighting! [Merry-Go-Round]

[The other teams finish up rehearsals, too]

I think the formation looks good.

Rehearsal adjourned!

[The trainees return to their dorms after final practice]

We're a team.

[What are the trainees like the night before the performance?]

Who wants to shower first?

I'm kind of tired; I'll do it later.

But why are you here?

This isn't even your room. [Not a resident in this room]

Why are you sitting there suddenly?

I have a lot preoccupying me.

It's the last night, right?

I know.

Time goes by so fast.

It's already been two months.

One hour felt like two days,

but now we're almost done.

If an hour felt like two days, how many days did we spend together?

I feel like I've been here for ten years.

It hasn't been easy so far.

It has not.

There have been many challenges.

After this, it's the finals.

For this performance, I was a little excited too.

- Hearing that I would have my own song. - Right, right.

I've never had that before.

"I really want to triumph." I think that,

- but at the same time... - I know what you mean.

I feel this pressure.

One performance is two minutes, maybe four minutes long.

A month on the longer side, a week on the shorter side...

Some people prepare for a whole year.

We're all melting in here for those two or three minutes.

We're still here because that's when we're happiest, right?

It feels like yesterday when I thought, "How are we going to accomplish this?"

But we already did recordings; we're prepared for the show.

I think I improved in many ways outside of singing and dancing while I've been here.

How to work with people,

what to do in any situation...

I don't know how long my life will be,

but I think these three months will be a highlight of my life.

I agree, for sure.

How did I come all the way to Korea to do this program?

In my life, I wanted to put

a perfect finish for my dreams.

Whether I debut here or not, I think there will be some kind of ending to my dreams.

If the chance that you'll debut is 10%,

have you thought about how you'd live?

I don't know. I haven't thought about it, and I won't think about it.

I came here thinking, "This is my opportunity."

I've never thought about giving up.

Even if I don't debut,

I'll keep going.

You could say that I debuted and then came here,

but I've gotten more recognition here than in those four years.

I just want to show that I've improved.

I just want to work harder than before. That's what I thought.

It feels like a lot of people in PROJECT 7 recognize that.

Xiang, I think people recognize your hard work

and how badly you want it.

I think that desire is your strength.

"What if people can't see me? I need to do well onstage."

- You're doing great. Don't worry about it. - Thank you.

- You're so cool. - No.

You helped me a lot on an emotional level too.

During Zero Setting, when Dae Hwi was a judge...

when Dae Hwi was a judge...

And when we met Dong Pyo this past time...

I felt a little... do you know what I mean?

Life is hard.

I really felt like life was hard. So...

I really, really want to be successful.

It made me feel like I wanted to be successful.

I've been hiding that desperation by myself. Because...

I might taste failure again.

- Come on. - Really.

No way, Hyung. Don't cry.

I really want to be successful. I want to debut here.

I felt that today.

Darn it.

I really want to get to the finals with you guys.

Really.

We've gotten close this time, right?

Yes...

[The younger brothers give him strength in his tough moments]

Nice.

Thank you. Can I give you a hug?

Thank you, Hyung. Thanks.

We just need to give a good performance.

I know. That's the biggest thing left.

Let's do this!

- Let's go. - Great work.

Let's wash up and go to bed. We have rehearsal tomorrow. [Comforting each other in their own ways]

Thank you!

Thank you!

[A vulnerable night before the performance passes]

[Ilsan JTBC studio]

[World Assemblers are here to cheer on the trainees]

Kyoung Bae! Center debut!

Oppa Ha Joon, I'm here instead of going to school. [Passionate(?) World Assemblers]

- Woo Ha Joon... - Andy... - Debut fighting!

Fighting! You can do this!

Let's debut!

Let's debut, Guys!

Sejong City Prince Oh Tae Hwan, fighting!

Se Yun, fighting!

Yeo Jun, I'm always rooting for you.

Lynn Lynn, fighting!

Don't be nervous, do well!

Bing Hua, don't be nervous. Fighting!

Sung Min, let's debut!

Min Seo, let's debut!

Young Seo, fighting!

- Seung Ho... - Fighting!

Yi Chen, let's debut!

We love you!

[World Assemblers are ready to cheer]

[Meanwhile, the trainees]

What's all this stuff?

[Getting adorned]

My skin feels so moisturized.

It looks good.

So moisturizing!

It puts some liveliness into my face.

Oh!

I love it. So pretty.

You look lively.

[POV (Point of View): Got makeup done and look moisturized and lively]

- Where do we go? - Do we go over there?

Isn't this your choreo?

[Warming up, getting energized]

Fighting!

[Fighting over here too]

[The trainees are ready to go]

Assemble and fortify, PROJECT 7.

Hello, I am your MC, Lee Soo Hyuk.

[Directors' Room]

This project will directly determine the trainee's survival.

This is the Original Match.

Original Match will be a competition among five new songs.

I thought this might be my last performance,

so I got here feeling very determined.

Since we're performing with our first new songs,

I'm especially nervous.

I'm a little nervous.

I was so excited.

I was trying to calm myself down.

A new... our song... [Performing under their own names]

[A performance of an original new song]

I wanted to show people what I have through this performance.

Let's see the five teams that you have assembled, World Assemblers.

Please come onstage.

[Who is the first team to appear?]

[Who is the first team to appear?]

Oh, they were behind that?

- That's right. - What?

[Team Time After Time]

[Who is the next team?]

[Team KOOL-AID]

Jeong Min is so good-looking.

He was good-looking in the rehearsal studio, too,

but his no-makeup face is so good-looking.

[Surprised]

[Team Breaking News]

- Wow, they have a lot of fans. - Listen to those cheers.

[Who is the next team?]

[Team Merry-Go-Round]

- Kenshin! - So cute!

So cute. That's crazy.

[The cuties of PROJECT 7]

[The last team to enter]

They're getting the loudest cheers, right?

Oh, this is Trigger.

[Team Trigger]

These guys are strongly popular.

[Original Match]

Here are the five teams competing in the Original Match.

Before the performance, I will explain the voting process.

After each performance, please select one trainee per team

who you think did the best job.

Next, after you've seen all five performances,

please vote for one team that you

thought did the best job.

Today's results

will determine who is still in the competition to debut

and go on to the final project.

Please keep rooting for these 35 trainees,

who compete to become world-class idols to the very end.

PROJECT 7.

This is Original Match and they'll perform new songs.

Let's begin.

Assemble your idols.

Let's assemble.

Let's go, let's go.

Here we go. [First to preform in the Original Match]

Who will be the first team?

This is a performance that will touch your emotions.

With a nostalgic and sentimental concept...

"Time After Time."

So pretty.

Fighting!

They must be so nervous.

Let us introduce ourselves.

Two, three!

♪ You and I, time after time. ♪

That's my song!

Hello, we are Time Time!

I hear the fight over parts was quite intense for this team compared to the others.

All seven members of our team

are main vocal-worthy singers.

While we put together a performance with us seven,

the fight over parts got quite intense.

[What was their parts distribution conflict like?]

[Project Village]

[Progress check for Team Time After Time]

[The five directors appear]

[MC Lee Soo Hyuk is here today too]

Hello!

Lee Soo Hyuk is here.

I wanted to check out your progress and root for you.

♪ Hey! Hey! Hey! ♪ [Starting off with Trainee Bing Hua's intro]

[Trainee Bing Hua attempts rap for the first time]

[Their parts are already done]

[All they can do is sway to the rhythm]

[The chorus seems a little much for him]

- Thank you! - The parts distribution is so extreme.

Young Seo, you might die while singing that.

The chorus repeats three times.

Someone has to take the end.

I think we need to give each line to a different person.

Trainee Yoo Young Seo, the main vocalist, had too big of a part and it felt so skewed.

We couldn't see the other members.

There needs to be an adjustment for the team's sake.

Oh, "Time After Time."

They had talented trainees, but I didn't really notice them during this performance.

It was disappointing.

If everyone does the intro together, it doesn't matter,

but if someone is the main person,

I think someone else besides Bing Hua should do it.

Everything I worried about came true.

First, the "Hey! Hey! Hey!"

That part doesn't really suit me.

I've never rapped before. And they could tell I have issues with my vocal technique.

I was worried that, even after "Time After Time,"

they would think, "Bing Hua can't even rap."

[Team Time After Time rehearsal studio]

- Honestly, our ranks are on the lower side, right? - Right.

I want to be seen more

and survive because this is about survival.

The overall feedback was that

I wasn't noticeable.

I was a little taken aback, too.

The main vocal part is so skewed.

We talked about the parts so much.

We were thinking it, too.

I did think that this main part was too heavy.

It was not easy to do that in a live performance.

I thought it would be good to re-distribute it.

We have a lot of strong singers.

Let's try to highlight each person's strengths and share.

I think that's the way to resolve this.

That seems good.

We're going to sound much more stable.

- That's right. - It's too much for you.

If we break it in three like this, you breathe...

[The chorus is hard to sing straight through]

This might not sound good in a live performance.

[They break up the chorus for a stable live performance]

[The chorus is now divided into nine parts]

I'm essentially sharing my part.

I sort of want to take two parts, just in the third chorus.

That's fine. [Overall, all seem to be in agreement]

It's your part, technically.

[It's hard for him to let go of the chorus parts]

You're allowed to be greedy.

We're sharing because it's too much for you to sing.

If it feels good to you, that's right.

I don't really want part one in the second chorus.

- I think Tae Hwan wanted it. - I really want part one.

- This one. - Then it's perfect!

- Okay, good. - Done!

Oh, my gosh, done! [Satisfied]

[The nine chorus parts are distributed]

One by one, we changed everything.

Everything was different.

Personally, it feels good.

- The next part to assign is the rap. - The rap is really important.

Bing Hua, is there any part you want?

I like singing much more than rapping.

I just want one moment where I can sound or look pretty.

Do you want a different part than the rap?

Yes, I think so.

The directors also said that earlier, remember?

Honestly, if I look at our performance,

I think the rap part suits Han Bin.

I don't really understand, honestly.

Which part do you want?

[Lead vocal 1]

I don't care about anything else.

[Trainee Bing Hua was eyeing his part]

I think your voice and image suit the part.

It's a part that only Han Bin can do.

Our voices are just...

It's not that only you can do it. You fit the part.

I have the highest rank on our team,

but my rank keeps going lower.

For the rank,

I really want a part where I can sing.

I just wanted the members to showcase their strengths.

Bing Hua said that he's more confident about the vocal parts than the rap part.

Then how about you switch like this?

[Trainee Yoo Young Seo suggests switching parts]

But Han Bin...

I... this...

I did really like lead vocal one.

I was most confident in that part.

And it felt like the reason I was doing this song.

If I can't do it, I don't know why I'm on this team.

I had those thoughts.

If we're just thinking of the performance, it works well. [How will this battle for parts end?]

- Hello. - Hi. [Recording studio]

Hello.

[The two of them get to the recording studio without finishing part distribution]

- This song is so good. - Thank you.

It's so good.

[He has written songs for Enhypen, &Team, TXT, GFRIEND]

[Songs that represent HYBE artists]

This was the most emotional song on the list. [FRANTS]

I was hooked.

Everyone on this team understands music.

Let's try it.

[Shin Jae Won's original part]

[Good after one take]

[His new part]

[Satisfied again]

Good! Good!

I like it.

♪ Even if they say nothing lasts forever ♪

Wow, your voice is great.

I don't have more to say.

Thank you.

It feels like Christmas.

♪ Waves that touch my heart ♪

Were you singing?

Yes.

I thought you were playing the track.

[I thought you were playing the AR track]

- Wow, it's so good. - Thank you.

I hear the emotion.

♪ Our steps and shadows that trace the sand ♪

♪ Stop this moment. Last forever, time after time ♪

- Wow, he's excellent. - Young Seo!

Thank you.

Next, we have...

The order...

- Let's do Bing Hua first. - Yes.

I wanted verse 1 so badly, personally.

I worked really hard on it.

I knew I could show off what I have.

I had high expectations for myself.

Everyone wants to debut here.

If I have one more part,

I'd have a better chance.

I felt a sense of urgency.

The groove is important.

Emotion, rhythm. Those two. That's it.

- I'm going to record. - Got it.

♪ Sun comes down. Orange light, border line ♪

I think the pronunciation of the "orange light" part could be a little better.

But overall, the tone is so great.

Can you try it with a little more power?

"More power?" Understood. Let me try.

Love it.

Let's keep going.

In verse one, I do a low tone,

and then Chen Yu is next.

I thought we could impress people by showing that contrast.

♪ Sun comes down. Orange light, border line ♪

I love the tone of your voice.

I love the tone. It's perfect for the song.

In terms of parts, I have the smallest one.

I gave it my best shot, and I think I did well.

I hope I can make an appearance in verse one

and let you all hear my voice.

[Who will end up taking verse 1?]

Wh-What?

Wow.

Wow, so pretty.

I'm so moved.

Time Time, fighting!

Fighting!

Everyone, we're ready for this. Don't forget to smile!

Smile!

They must be so nervous.

I personally really love this song.

This is my favorite song.

Fighting!

Wow, I love that intro.

What?

There they go.

You look good, guys. Please do well.

I'm getting chills.

I really want to do that.

["Time After Time"]

Lee Han Bin!

I'm getting chills.

♫ Sun comes down. Orange light, border line ♫

[Lee Han Bin]

[Oh Tae Hwan]

[Wu Chen Yu]

[Shin Jae Won]

[Bing Hua]

[Yoo Young Seo]

[Woo Ha Joon]

Oh, my god.

They were so moving.

I feel something in my heart.

I feel... I feel like I'm going to cry.

I'm holding back right now.

This really feels like their song.

They did a good job.

Nice.

That was great.

- Good job. - Great work.

Good job. We worked so hard.

I'm quite disappointed, honestly.

But it was a win-win for the team.

I'm really sorry towards Han Bin.

I'm so grateful that he let me have it for the team.

We prepared without any regrets.

During PROJECT 7,

this was the performance I put the most passion into.

"Nothing is forever, but we pray it's forever."

This wasn't a permanent team.

We were a team for less than two weeks,

but, like those lyrics,

we hope that these memories stay with us forever.

[Nothing is forever, but our Time After Time will stay forever]

This next song is the trendiest genre right now.

A new jack swing rhythm and R&B vocal tones

are the highlights of this song.

With an old school and retro concept,

"KOOL-AID."

This is the last one.

Last one, last one.

Last one, last one!

Tension up!

[What was Team KOOL-AID's rehearsal process leading up to their performance?]

[Team KOOL-AID progress check]

Got it!

Let us introduce ourselves. Two, three!

Hello, we are KOOL-AID.

Are KOOL-AID...

[Their intro is already shaky]

This is a little...

You guys are a little dark.

Why is it so dark in here?

The vibes were so down.

Is something wrong with the morale of the team?

It's true that we're not good friends. I don't think we'll do well.

I didn't think we would meet expectations, so I was nervous.

[Team KOOL-AID rehearsal studio]

I love it.

But it's hard.

The dance is the dance, but the singing is harder than I thought too.

I can't memorize this.

"You're talented, but here, you don't seem like you're good."

"It feels like you don't want to do it."

"In the video, your facial expressions feel so dark."

"The viewer feels self-conscious watching it."

[They are panned in the trainee self-assessments]

There are so many formations.

Let's split it up and do it together.

Calm down, calm...

It's so far, so you need to travel while doing this.

[Practice manages to continue with Kim Jeong Min's lead]

This is a really cool move. 45 degrees.

[What kind of feedback will they get?]

Let's get the line straight.

A little more.

[What will Team KOOL-AID's progress check be like?]

♪ Got me going crazy ♪

♪ I keep getting thirsty. Got me going crazy ♪

♪ Your smile glimmers ♪

♪ The moment our eyes meet. Kool-Aid ♪

♪ The one that makes me smile is you, Babe ♪

♪ Drunk on your scent, so groove ♪

♪ Drink it all like that. You're the Kool-Aid I've been looking for ♪

Thank you.

- They're good! - They were good.

So you were assembled into a song no one wanted?

I don't think you're seeing it. You need to change your mentality.

If I lie a little bit,

this is the song that fits PROJECT 7 the best.

Seeing the choreography with the song, I really get it.

Thank you.

[They are confused at the unexpected compliments]

♪ KOOL-AID ♪ [A moment ago]

I love the combination of their voices.

- They're totally together. - This song is a vibe.

- Why didn't they like the song? - It's good.

This is totally trendy, easy-listening, and nice on the ears.

Just thinking of the audio, if you're told to stream it 100 times,

this is the song that would be the easiest to listen to 100 times.

You did great with the choreography, considering you memorized it in a day.

- Thank you! - The choreo is so fresh.

If I could choreograph any song, I would pick this one.

- That's right. - I love it.

Seriously.

I thought we were going to get a scolding,

but they gave us a lot of hope.

We feel confident again.

It was an opportunity for our performance to be better.

I'm so happy I got this song.

So, unlike our expectations, [KOOL-AID]

we heard a lot of positive things.

I think it was a turning point for us.

That's what I think.

I had been feeling that I couldn't perform this song.

So that got me in a negative attitude

and I couldn't improve the morale when I was leading practice.

I feel like I wasn't the best version of myself as a leader.

First of all, I'm sorry about that, everyone.

I'm really sorry...

and if you could imagine that you have a new leader...

Sounds good.

You were our original leader.

It's a new opportunity.

Now we'll get to see you yell and fly around the studio.

Everyone told me it was okay.

Now, all I need to do is get organized.

We just need to be friends.

We should have fun just looking at each other.

I'm ready to work hard while having fun.

Should we get to practice?

All right, everyone stand up!

One, two, three, four!

[Trainee Kim Si Hun leads with enthusiasm]

[Taking care of details]

[Taking care of details]

Ju Hyeon, here.

Come out like this while looking cute.

I've been waiting for Si Hun's energy to be up.

That's the version of him I wanted to see.

[Team KOOL-AID is starting to look lively]

[POV: World Assemblers are throwing you up in the air]

- Aigoo, aigoo. - So cute! So cute!

Love it!

- This is hard. - It's hard?

You can do this.

Oh.

It looks good, Hyung.

Jeong Min had a lot to learn.

We had a lot of time to maintain the positive energy.

He was radiating positive energy.

People around him were happy.

[Team KOOL-AID is filled with energy]

[They resume group practice]

Hui Ju, you're behind.

- I was? - Yes, much too behind.

- Oh, I... - I know what it is.

You're not lowering your head enough. You're not at all.

- Okay, understood. - This much.

- Do you understand what he means? - Don't you mean bending too much?

Your body... just do your best. Fighting.

One more time.

The team vibes are really good right now,

but Jun Woo is still a little...

I don't know if he's in a bad mood, but he was pretty irritable.

Slow down, slow down. Hey!

Why do you keep getting in front of me?

Everyone else is having fun.

If I get the energy up,

he keeps pulling it down. Over and over again.

All the teammates are conscious of it.

I felt like our morale could be bad again.

[Trainee Kim Si Hun resumes rehearsal]

Just one more...

[Trainee Kim Jun Woo is giving different directions]

That's easier.

No, no. It's not in place.

Let's do that later.

Just stay between those two.

Gun Woo, just...

It's like that.

When Si Hun was leading the practice,

when other trainees asked, "What do I do?"

"Can we do this?"

He would accept it as their contribution.

But if I said something, he would think it was to challenge him.

Jun Woo, take your hands out of your pockets.

There's a hole in my pocket.

That hole doesn't mean anything in practice, right?

[Sigh]

Don't sigh.

Can you talk nicely?

- I told you not to put your hands in your pockets. - Okay.

Fighting! Let's go!

We need to be together here.

He wasn't responding.

He would stand on one leg,

not really follow instructions...

It was really impolite.

It was settled, right?

So what's wrong with your attitude?

I just—

I told you. The attitude is because we talk differently.

You need to know how to be open. You're not open to it

even if we talk to you.

Don't you feel the vibe in there? We are now...

That's why—

[Both of their feelings explode]

[Both of their feelings explode]

[Their fighting stops practice]

You can say, "It's okay."

I don't understand why they're angry.

I got incensed that the vibe was bad again.

If I left the room too,

I felt like it would be bad for the people remaining.

Let's get the energy up.

No need to lose energy right now. We can be good at this.

One, two, three and four. Five, six, and seven, eight. [Trainee Kim Jeong Min resumes practice]

- Let's get it done! Fighting! - Fighting!

Six, seven, eight!

One, two, three and four!

Except when I talk to my mom on the phone,

I never cry.

But I think I'm really struggling.

I've been so exhausted.

For the first time...

I wanted to give up.

- I'm anxious. - You're anxious?

I want this intensely too.

I'm not here to play.

Trying to hide my feelings...

It's so hard right now.

You're doing a great job.

[Si Hun discovers him crying]

Jeong Min, why are you crying?

I'm trying to make a great performance, no matter what.

Jeong Min, you've helped me so much. Seriously.

I should have done more.

Without you, "KOOL-AID" would not be happening.

I shouldn't have done that in front of the others,

but seeing Jeong Min cry...

I was heartbroken.

He must have felt so much pressure.

I'm so sorry.

I feel like I messed up the vibe even more.

You worked so hard.

Thanks to you, we were able to improve morale.

So don't worry about that.

I should have held back, but at that moment

everything I had been pushing down just came out, no matter how hard I tried.

When I think about it now, I feel really bad.

Jeong Min.

I want you to know one thing.

You're a bigger help to this team than you think.

You're doing so well, Jeong Min.

I'm thankful to you. Got it?

You look better now that you've cried.

I feel better.

While we've been running toward the same goal,

we ran into a bit of an obstacle.

But in the end, we're going to do well.

I'm not scared.

We're going to be good.

All we need is to have some more energy,

so I hope they stop fighting.

We're going to trust in what we've done so far.

You know, it looks good.

I think enjoying being onstage

is the way to show off everything we have.

[Nice stage]

[What will Team KOOL-AID's performance be like?]

I'm excited.

I love this song so much.

I'm so curious.

Please be good, Guys.

They will be. Don't worry.

They're good! Just trust them.

[Nervous]

The stage is so pretty.

Hui Ju!

Wow, it's a real car.

They even have a vending machine!

If you shake it, it might explode.

That intro is cool.

["KOOL-AID"]

Wow, they're acting out beverages.

It's a beverage that's shrinking inside a cup.

- So satisfying. - Wow.

Wow, such an amazing song.

Love the song.

So refreshing.

It feels like I'm drinking a carbonated drink.

Two, three... Thank you!

We had a very tumultuous rehearsal process.

Despite that, we were able to deliver a good performance.

If you could please vote for our team,

we can all advance to the final.

Please vote for us, just once.

I was trying to stay away from this, but...

Noona!

Noona!

Noona!

Aigoo...

Oh, my gosh.

Jeong Min is waiting.

You'll vote for KOOL-AID, right?

Make sure to vote for number two, Kim Jeong Min!

Love you, Noona!

What about the hyungs?

Love you, too, Hyung!

[Me, too]

Come here! Jeong Min, come here!

- See you later. - Let me speak with you.

This is not it.

- Wow, it's over. - It's over.

Good job.

Great work.

The KOOL-AID process was so tough.

I wanted to run away,

but I worked so hard to be able to see this.

To see the fans.

I'm glad I worked so hard.

I don't regret anything because we rehearsed so much.

KOOL-AID!

Who is next?

This was insane.

They're good. Really good.

Who is the next team we'll meet?

This is a song that will have a powerful impact

on the World Assemblers with its addictive chorus.

"Breaking News."

[Breaking News]

This is my favorite.

I love the choreography.

Let us introduce ourselves to you.

Five, six, seven, eight...

♪ Breaking news! Hot controversy ♪

- Two, three... - Hello, we're the inside scoop!

The inside scoop!

The inside scoop.

Today, these seven mischievous devils

will fire up the JTBC Ilsan studio stage.

I bet JTBC will be on breaking news later today.

Trainee Kang Min Seo.

Yes?

I heard Team Breaking News came in first

in the trainee self-assessment.

- Yes, that's right. - Do you think you'll also come in first place

in today's World Assemblers' vote?

Let's go!

[Practice is moving right along]

We have many all-rounders.

I think we have a solid team composition.

Hyun Woo and Yong Hyun, who are the main vocal.

Yura's and Kotaro's strength is dance.

In Ji Ahn's case, his strength is performance.

Min Seo has great facial expressions.

I think our team is an all-rounder team.

Except me.

Ji Ahn, Hyun Woo, Min Seo, Yong Hyun...

Kotaro and Yura are dancers.

And me, amidst all of them.

The person who needs to work the hardest

is trainee Ahn Jun Won.

[Member who needs the most training]

"I didn't see him at all and don't even know where his parts are."

"His choreography details are off, and he looks nervous."

I know how much I lack,

so I expected this to an extent,

but...

This is intense.

This is intense.

"It almost feels like he doesn't want to do it."

"It felt like he was making no effort."

"It felt like he was making no effort."

I got so angry.

Fellow trainees who came this far

must understand how I am approaching PROJECT 7

in some way.

How could they say something like that?

I got so angry.

I wanted to kill them.

I'll show them onstage.

- Hyungnim, let's pay them back. - Yes.

Knowing full well how much I lack,

I worked harder than anyone else.

So, I got very angry.

But I got that feedback because of my poor dancing.

So I've decided to take it in a positive way,

and let it inspire me to be better.

Let it.

Why don't we start from the intro?

Yes!

♪ Feeling like ooh! Shake it off, shake, shake. Feeling like ooh! ♪ [Director Bada's choreography lesson]

This is the vibe you're going for. ♪ Feeling like ooh! ♪

Like that, after "ooh," go inside the book.

Go inside, then take yourself out.

♪ Feeling like ooh! Shake it off, shake, shake ♪

♪ Feeling like ooh! Shake it off, shake, shake ♪

♪ Feeling like ooh! Shake it off, shake, shake ♪

Ooh! Ooh!

My body is having trouble following.

I memorized it all in my head, but my body couldn't follow.

We were moving very quickly.

It was so tough to follow that I couldn't even breathe.

He seems to lack self-confidence.

He seems unsure.

- Jun Won, move your shoulders more. - Yes!

- Let's fix the levels. - Do I go down more?

No, stay up higher.

- Stay up higher? - Yes.

[Missed the rhythm]

Jun Won, why are you behind?

Jun Won, why are you behind?

- I'm right there. - One more time.

I feel like I'm going to die.

The choreography was challenging to start with.

There was so much staging too.

Jun Won, stay late and practice the choreography.

Yes.

- Get serious. Understand? - Yes.

- Get serious. Understand? - Yes.

The moment you relax even a little,

all I can see in this performance is you.

In a bad way.

This is yours now. It's no longer a cover.

Others will cover you.

That's where you're at.

So you need to do better.

Jun Won, in particular, you need to practice a lot.

- Got it? - Yes!

I hope you can all take responsibility.

I stood out so much

because I kept messing up.

I was so scared that would happen onstage too.

Hyung.

Are you having a hard time?

The choreography?

Yes.

Really?

What's wrong? Did something happen?

We had a dance lesson today.

I couldn't follow, and I knew that I couldn't.

The other members are all dancing so well.

I feel so stressed that I'll ruin the performance.

I suddenly got so scared that my fears might come true.

Jun Won, come here.

I was alone with Ji Ahn and was called to look at something.

So I looked at it; it was a message from Bada.

"Cheer up. You got this far."

I teared up.

"Cheer up. You got this far."

It really moved my heart.

It feels like there are two meanings to that.

"You got this far."

It could mean you can do more,

or it could mean it's so amazing that you got this far.

Those nine letters are...

I think that really woke me up.

"Let's make sure I don't regret it."

"Let's not be a burden on my team members."

I want to be a good dancer!

What does worrying change?

I'll try my best to help him.

[Choreography focus practice starts]

Your hands stay put, but your shoulders move.

You told me to activate my upper body here.

Don't ride the wave to the front.

Like this, like a sideways spiral.

I asked everyone questions so I could dance better.

I asked the guys on the other teams as well.

I'm not too worried about Jun Won.

I know how hard he works.

I love it.

[Confidence UP]

Love it. Wait.

- Good job. - Thank you!

[I've never seen the director like that]

[Satisfied]

[Right to the practice room after the recording]

I'll practice the choreography until the very end.

Until my weak points disappear.

I may not be the first one to turn the practice room lights on,

but I certainly will be the one to turn it off.

- We're on our way. - We're doing it.

Until the day Jun Won becomes a dance master...

We will not stop.

Until the day!

Great work!

[The sun rises again]

Hello.

[Starting with rehearsal]

[And the day continues in rehearsal]

Let's go.

Let's go.

[Last one to turn off the light]

[Rehearsing by himself until later again the next day]

[Repeating the tough part]

[Infinite repeat until the sun comes up]

Six o'clock.

Let's stop it here.

I prepared, so I have no regrets.

I worked harder than anyone and can show for it.

Let's go for it!

Yes!

Fighting!

Let's see them excel.

I've been the most excited about them.

Yes!

Let's go, my favorite performance.

That's not a navy song.

- That's an Army song. - Really?

These were some of the toughest moments on PROJECT 7 for me.

I know that it was all possible thanks to my team members.

I was a little sad that these were our last moments as a team.

We worked so hard, and now it's over.

Let's watch without worrying about the results.

- Let's enjoy. - Two, three...

Cool, cool, yes!

Great job!

The next Original Match performance.

I bet this will be the sexiest among all PROJECT 7 performances.

I look forward to it very much.

Everyone wanted this song.

♪ I'm the bad guy... ♪

"Trigger," a sexy and bad-boy concept.

Please enter the stage, trainees who have prepared "Trigger."

Welcome!

[Jeon Min Wook | Ma Jing Xiang | Song Seung]

Let us introduce ourselves. Two, three...

Bang bang.

Hello, we'll aim for your heart.

We're "Right up your alley!"

- What was that? - That was out of sync.

That was out of sync.

- Trainee Ma Jing Xiang. - Yes.

I heard you're especially passionate about this Original Match performance.

When I went on "Boys Planet" before,

I was eliminated early due to my lack of skills.

I haven't been able to perform for almost a year since.

So, I feel extra passionate about this performance.

First of all, let's fix what needs to be fixed.

Let's go with whoever is the best match and will do it the best.

That's just my opinion.

Each member has a different charm point.

"I'm the bad guy" repeats five times.

I think it'd be cool

if five different people said that.

Since there are a lot of people who have a small part and blend in.

Split those five lines...

I just want one of them. I don't care.

You should get one since your part is so small.

A lot of trainees felt disappointed about their small parts.

I was pained when read that.

I really understand how that feels.

I want to put together a performance where we can all shine.

Since the other members have charms which I don't have,

as long as those aspects are able to shine...

There is a part I'd like to do if that works out for me in just case.

The rapper 1 part in the second verse.

The first time "I'm so bad guy" happens in rapper 2's line in chorus 1

has to absolutely be Hyun Woo.

So the first verse...

Could Ma Jing Xiang do the rapper 1's line in verse 1?

That works.

- That suits you. - That suits Ma Jing Xiang.

Could I do the "I'm so bad guy" in chorus 3?

- Do it. - Okay.

It makes sense that I come after Min Wook.

- Right. - Yes.

That's all.

Are you okay with the parts?

Yes, I'm good.

I bet we'll see Ma Jing Xiang a lot more now.

A lot more.

[His part significantly increased]

[First killing part in chorus 1: Kim Hyun Woo]

[Second killing part in chorus 1: Ma Jing Xiang]

[First killing part in chorus 2: Jeon Min Wook]

[Second killing part in chorus 2: Jang Yeo Jun]

[Killing part in chorus 3: Park Jun Seo]

The balance is better than before.

We have a more even distribution of parts now.

I think we improved it greatly through the adjustments we made.

If we keep rehearsing and moving forward like this...

I think we'll see great results with our performance.

Each and every person is so skilled.

I'm confident we'll move fast in rehearsal.

I will give it my best.

Fighting.

Six, seven, eight...

[Starting to rehearse by following the leader]

Three, four, five...

There we go.

Everyone's a great dancer.

Every team member was eager to work hard.

It was bursting with passion.

I think we'll do well. We work hard.

I'm the bad guy. Like that.

- It's so cool when you do that. - We'll win, no question if we do that.

We'll definitely win with this.

Seven, eight...

[Working on each part, picturing their win]

- Okay, okay. - We're moving so quickly.

This is correct.

I don't think it is.

It is correct.

I said I got it.

Let's try again.

It might be too much if we start out too strong.

Ok, let's go!

Look at Xiang. He remains in your spot instead of moving downstage.

He went downstage because he wanted to.

The right thing to do is to step back.

- Lynn Lynn, go out more. - Lynn Lynn's...

♪ Don't wanna try? Don't you deny? ♪

Wait a second; let me take a look. I'll do it.

Please give me a second. I'm getting confused.

- I'm sorry. - We can't be doing this.

We're out of rhythm.

We said we'd all drop at once.

We're out of rhythm.

Everyone, when we're out of rhythm,

look at the mirror before you try to fix it.

We have the mirror right in front of us.

Why are you not looking in the mirror? Everyone can see the mirror.

I feel like everyone's out of rhythm.

- Everyone. - Xiang is behind.

We're a team of amazing dancers.

But we have a couple members who have a different rehearsal process.

It's not moving forward smoothly.

It feels like we're wading through water.

It's so tough.

I can confidently say that our team

is working the hardest of all five teams.

But we're moving the slowest out of all teams.

I think we have a huge problem.

We keep dialing in the details,

but no matter how many times I say it, it doesn't get incorporated.

Everyone is skilled enough to do it.

We're all stressed out about live performance.

We're worrying about this and that...

Worrying about that before we learn the moves

is making us get off rhythm while dancing.

Then, the dance falls apart because of that.

Everyone's doing whatever they feel like doing.

We need to return to the beginning

and get back to the basics.

Putting aside our worries about live performance and individual gestures.

The basic rhythm, gestures, and details first.

We'll do that.

Let's try that.

We better try it.

Should we start there? From "Get shy"?

We're out of sync.

[Another try]

We're off. Again.

Chen, you're behind.

[Continued rhythm mistake]

You're consistently behind.

"Get Shy" like that.

You told me to go slower.

No, you fell behind.

Hey.

Don't just rely on other people saying go slower or go faster.

Listen to the music and sync with it.

- Understood. - Sync to the music.

Go faster with the music, or go slower with it...

♪ Get shy ♪

We're in major trouble.

Even if the details have changed, "Get shy" is on the beat.

It's the original detail and beat.

[Team Trigger running into an unexpected wall]

Everyone, listen to me for a moment.

We've been spinning our wheels for days.

We need to finish preparing for the performance by tomorrow.

We'd better get ourselves together.

Or our performance will be a disaster.

We need to sync with the lyrics during the live performance.

But sometimes, our song and dance are out of sync.

The rhythms of the song and dance are out of sync?

We shouldn't tack on dancing to live performances.

We need to add the live performance to the dance.

It feels like we're trying to sync the dance to your live performance...

We discussed this yesterday.

Let's first get the choreography together, putting aside the live performance and parts.

So, why are you jumping to the live performance again?

The live...

We better get the dance right to sync it with the live performance.

What happens to us if we can't make live performance work?

That's why when we discussed our rehearsal process,

we said, let's get the dance together and layer live performance on top.

But we're stuck trying to make the dance work.

Remember what we talked about over there?

We said let's get in lockstep with the dance first.

But you keep thinking about the live performance as you dance.

That's why we can't get the dance down.

Am I wrong?

I'm sorry. I apologize.

I'll focus on getting it right.

It's not like that.

It was tough.

Things aren't getting better. And we're only a few days away from the performance.

I was so worried about that.

People obsess over their individual live parts

when we can't even dance on the beat...

That's not great.

I got really angry, but I figured

we'd get stuck if I got mad.

So, I thought about it and decided to move on

since I am responsible as well.

Come here.

What is it? Let's just rehearse.

Sure, we'll rehearse.

I got really emotional

toward you earlier.

- You getting mad? - Yes.

- Don't worry. It's my fault for being underrehearsed. - I'm sorry.

We'll just practice more.

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

It's okay.

I'll just take it when you chew me out.

Keep going.

No, I'm sorry that I got emotional toward you.

I understand.

You're not mad, right?

I'm not.

I'm sorry.

Things happen.

I'm sorry.

Yeo Jun apologized to me.

I said it's okay.

I understand Yeo Jun.

Yeo Jun's a little scared, too.

After we had an honest conversation, our rehearsal became more effective.

Seven, eight...

It felt like we were finally rehearsing.

Love it.

Yi Chen, good job. Have a gold star.

♪ A fateful crush, I'm naturally attracted to it ♪

♪ Don't wanna try? Don't you deny? ♪

Wow!

- Yi Chen, dance every song like this. - Thank you.

- You're good. - Thank you!

I feel like we'll do so well. As long as we continue like this.

We got more honest with each other

and that led to solidarity.

Chen, you hit those high notes so well.

You're all I've got.

I complimented you first before Yeo Jun did!

I'm getting more and more confident we'll deliver a great performance.

[They opened their hearts and worked hard for this performance]

I gave it my all.

I hope the World Assemblers

revisit this performance over and over again.

Bang bang!

I can't wait.

I'm so curious about them.

I bet they'll kill it.

I'm the bad guy...

Let's go.

It's like an award ceremony.

- S-S-Sexy already? - Crazy.

Just show us what you practiced.

I love their intro.

Wow, they look cool just standing there.

Oh, my God!

Wow, amazing.

♫ Trigger, Trigger ♫

Wow! ♫ Tri-Trigger ♫

- Whoa, what was that? - What was that?

- What was that? - That's the end.

[The audio will be released on streaming on 12/14]

So crazy.

How could anyone beat them?

I bet everyone's already forgotten about us.

Wow, Trigger team is so strong.

They did well.

Xiang was practically invisible during the progress check.

But after getting a bigger part, he's so there.

Okay, trainees, please say a word to the World Assemblers.

We've got it all, sexy charm, cool charm,

and the physique.

There's no reason not to vote for us.

Love you, noona! Vote for us.

Love you.

Love you.

- What? - Come on, man!

Did he look that up?

What did he search for?

Please vote for us if we moved you

through our performance, World Assemblers.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you!

It was a rollercoaster,

but we wrapped up the performance without any regrets.

We had great teamwork.

I'm so happy that we put together a great performance.

- No regrets, right? - Of course not.

See you all at the finals!

Of course, we better all go together.

- Seven sexy guys. - Right on!

Let me introduce the next team.

Seeing them during their rehearsals, this is a very adorable team.

This song expresses the feelings of a boy in love.

A fresh and cool concept,

"Merry-Go-Round."

"Merry-Go-Round" was written by Cho Won Sang of Lucy,

with our trainees in mind.

With a band sound on top of the dance genre,

a joyful guitar riff shines in this song.

It's a bright and refreshing song.

Director Ryu D created the choreography,

inspired by amusement parks.

What?

Team BEBE was so awestruck watching this choreography.

It's so cool.

Thank you.

Trainees of "Merry-Go-Round," please enter the stage.

So refreshing.

They're all babies.

- Look at his shoulders. - So handsome.

So pink.

I feel so happy.

I mentioned you're adorable in my intro and look at your clothes.

You're on it.

With an average age of 17,

the youngest team was assembled.

Childlike wonder returns.

Two, three...

Hello, we're Boomerang, here to bring your childlike wonder back.

[Catching the boomerang]

Yes.

Trainee Sakurada Kenshin.

Yes!

I hear you were so happy you got assembled here.

That's right.

"Merry-Go-Round" is so me.

It suits me so well.

Any new Korean words you learned?

A phrase I learned recently is...

"Love you forever!"

[Was the rehearsal process full of love too?]

Don't be hurt.

Let's up the ante.

The other trainees just want the best for us.

They're not trying to hurt us.

- Everyone. Oh, my gosh... - Sung Min.

[After watching Team Merry-Go-Round's video]

Such cute choreography.

[Trainees filled out self-assessment sheet]

What are the trainees' feedback?

"You stood out the most. Cute, fun."

"You have the best energy in the team."

- That's correct. - "I think you're doing the best you can in your part."

"You're the best and the most stable."

- Mostly compliments. - Cute.

"You're one of the members that match the song the best,"

"but with a small part, you don't stand out."

"I wish you stood out a little more."

Let's go to Sung Min.

I'm scared, everyone.

Should we start with Kyoung Bae?

Let's do that.

I feel like we're the two main characters.

My heart's beating so fast.

"You give off a different mood from others."

"You're normally cute, but don't seem cute here."

"You didn't stand out at all."

Who said this?

But he did well...

All the feedback that said I didn't stand out and that it didn't suit me...

I'm the youngest trainee on PROJECT 7.

There's nothing I can do about my face value.

But I thought it suited me...

[The time has come]

I'll start reading first.

"You have a big part, but you're consistently unstable."

"You grew a lot, but not enough."

"He's terrible."

"I give his facial expressions, dancing, and singing all a zero."

Wow, that's so mean.

[Intense criticism toward skills]

That's all.

I was so mad at myself.

I was hugely upset.

"You look so strained when you sing."

"It looks like you've given up on dancing and facial expressions when you sing."

"He's main vocal but he is terrible."

"Needs more practice." Yes...

I wonder if I would've gotten chewed out as badly if I took on a different part.

But I can't drop out now.

I was consumed with worry.

"It's disappointing that they don't smile."

"Dance with more energy."

"Lacking vocal skills."

"He looks strained with all the high notes."

Let's not let this bring the mood down.

Let's just try our best.

The three of them got good feedback.

The other four mostly got bad feedback.

I was worried that the mood of the team dropped so drastically.

The mood is not great.

What do we do?

We better bring it back up.

Okay, first of all...

- Let's dive in. - Let's go right in.

What's the first movement pattern?

Please focus.

Let's up the ante.

Yes.

Let's up the ante.

Fighting.

No one responded when I said fighting.

Everyone was expressionless.

Please put more energy into your gestures.

No one's dancing energetically, even after I just asked.

I said something.

Can't you at least respond?

We were not in the mood to respond back and forth.

I was wrong to ruin the mood,

but it felt like we'd be in deep trouble if we continued like this.

I couldn't focus on anything.

I was so worried.

[Conflicted, Nam Ji Woon stepped out into the hall alone]

He looked totally lost and confused.

I was worried about Ji Woon.

[Trainee Sakurada Kenshin]

[Going up to hyung, who is sitting alone]

Why are you so handsome?

Why are you doing this?

Why are you so pretty?

You're pretty, too, Kenshin.

I learned a word earlier.

Forever!

World Assemblers,

love us forever.

- Please love us. - Please love us.

- Forever... - Forever...

Rehearsing...

We must rehearse forever.

We must.

Forever.

This is my first time on a team with Kenshin.

His smile is infectious.

That inspired me to get up and get going again.

[The two start practicing again]

[Trainee Song Seung Ho joins]

[Another one flying solo]

I was so frustrated.

My body and head couldn't follow.

Sung Min has grown so much since P4.

We were on the same teams for P4 and Jealousy.

I know that he'll make it as long as he rehearses.

[With the amount of time spent together, we believe "You can do it"]

[The two try to synchronize]

This part, Sung Min. Go upstage.

Okay, my fault.

Love it!

We were able to ground ourselves.

Our team's mood got a lot better.

[The team became more cheerful]

What are you doing?

[Although Kenshin comforted other team members]

[Reading through the assessment again carefully]

"Kenshin did not stand out at all."

"He's second place, but he didn't stand out."

"He did not stand out."

"I have no idea what his part was."

[He hasn't figured out his problem yet]

All the trainees were telling me I didn't stand out.

It is fine even if I didn't have a big part.

I'm invisible...

I'd better stand out.

Why didn't you say something earlier?

Let's all share opinions.

What you'd like to do where.

- Kenshin was told he doesn't stand out at all, right? - Yes.

Are you okay?

I didn't want to bring down the mood by sharing my thoughts.

If I don't say anything, it will all go smoothly.

The rehearsal will go smoothly.

Gosh...

[Burying his worries inside]

[Diving into rehearsal solo]

Let's start back up right away.

Seung Ho, are you marking?

Five, six, seven, eight...

[The rehearsal never stops ]

If I practice every day,

if I practice more every day, I can do it.

I bet the fans want to see my Merry-Go-Round.

[Trainee Sakurada Kenshin tries his best at his designated part]

[After he lay down for a moment,]

[he bounces back up]

[And enters an infinite loop of rehearsal]

[That continues until the wee hours]

You can do it, right?

Let's start with the second chorus.

Kenshin, you don't have to do it at full power if you're in pain.

Okay.

Is Kenshin sick?

Ok, let's go.

Are you going to watch?

[In the middle of rehearsal]

[He grows faint]

Are you okay?

My head hurts.

I rehearsed until six in the morning.

I slept only an hour.

That's probably why I have a headache.

Kenshin, are you in a lot of pain?

I'm okay.

I can do it.

I did worry about him.

I was watching him during rehearsal

and his adorable smile was fading away.

He overdid it after hearing

that he doesn't stand out.

I wish I could've taken better care of him and I felt bad.

A lot of thoughts went through my head.

[During progress check]

[Trainee Kim Sung Min took on the intro part]

I like the picture.

You could activate Kenshin better.

Kenshin is not standing out.

What if Kenshin takes on the main part?

I'd like you to consider that.

My mind went blank then.

I really wanted to do that part.

You need to be able to monitor yourselves, too,

So, let's first focus on the movement pattern and then I'll take a video for you.

- Got it. - Thank you.

Well...

During the progress check,

we got feedback to activate Kenshin more.

Could Kenshin and I do the intro together?

That's a good idea.

What about something like the amusement park doors opening

and Kenshin jumps out to welcome us in?

Together?

Really?

Thank you.

Congratulations.

- Together? - Really?

Kenshin's energy matches the song so well.

I thought doing it with Kenshin would lead to a synergy effect.

I was so moved.

I love you, Sung Min.

For the intro part,

could Kenshin and I double?

Love it, love it.

- Love it. - Me, too.

[The two trainees singing the intro side by side]

It's great.

You're doing well.

[Kenshin's energetic now that his concerns have been resolved]

[His smile has returned]

[Infectious smile]

[The team members getting closer, taking care of each other]

Wow, that was killer. Okay, one more time.

Our team struggled from the moment we distributed the parts.

It was a rollercoaster.

[But now, when someone makes a mistake]

- Just a moment. - Take it slow.

It's okay, it's okay.

We're working in lockstep to overcome our weaknesses.

- I feel so at ease. - Why?

Because he's helping me.

- He's damn relaxed because you're helping him. - What?

No. I didn't say damn!

You can't do it alone.

How can the leader do anything alone?

Thank you.

Kenshin, do you have a question?

- I'm good! - Love it!

Thank you. I'm good!

[Giving back the kindness he received to someone else]

- One more time? - Sure.

More, more.

We need to continue.

[Helping each other out, the teamwork and the team's mood solidifies]

Great!

I'm so grateful for them

telling me I could do it, which made it possible for me to do it.

We grew so much.

So they would instantly think we're refreshing and cute...

I'm sure we can show the World Assemblers.

I'm confident since we made it to be 100% perfect.

Have fun and smile brightly.

Just smile. Smile, smile.

Fighting. We can do it. We worked so hard.

Let's get first place.

We can come in first place.

As long as we rally together and work hard...

We're going on as a team, not as individuals.

We can really do well.

I feel confident.

- One, two, three... - Fighting.

Up the ante.

The theme park is open!

Wow, they're so lovely.

I used to be like that before.

I wish I could be young like them.

["Merry-Go-Round"]

They look like they came out of a cartoon.

They've got great chemistry.

It feels like I just went to a theme park.

They're so cute.

I want to go to a theme park.

- It's a theme park. - Theme park, theme park...

Do you want to go tomorrow?

Sure!

What are we to do about these bubbly and cute kids?

It was a cute and bubbly stage

that made World Assemblers smile.

[Self appeal time]

The World Assemblers sent us to Team Merry-Go-Round

to prepare a cute and adorable stage.

Knowing this, we tried our best.

And I'd be grateful if you could keep cheering for hardworking Sung Min.

You want to see the smiles of Team Merry-Go-Round, right?

Please give us more of your love and support and vote for us.

Please vote for me as well! Thank you.

Yesterday was my "birth date".

So I want to receive a present.

- What would you like? - Your votes are my present.

I want to get first place. Please vote for me.

It's birthday, birthday.

Oh, birthday!

I'm sorry.

So cute.

He wrote that down in his notebook yesterday and kept reciting it.

He was memorizing it in Japanese.

Great work, Team Merry-Go-Round.

Great work. You did well.

Great job, everyone.

Come here, let's get together.

There were many minor incidents,

but thank you for holding steady and enduring.

Youngest leader, Se Yun, you went through a lot,

but thank you for leading us well.

Let's hear from you, Se Yun.

First, our team

went through a lot.

We practiced really hard.

So, even if we don't win, please watch our "Merry-Go-Round" performance a lot

and listen to our song often. Thank you.

Thank you!

- Great work! One... - Two, three...

Everyone, great job!

Really, you all did well.

Assemble and fortify. PROJECT 7.

The Original Match stages are all complete.

Please press the button for the team that you think performed their song best.

[Preliminary voting for the first-place team among five teams]

We will now vote for the trainee that you think

performed their song the best on each team.

[Voting complete]

[Original Match live audience voting complete]

[What will be the results of the Original Match?]

I want to get first place.

You can't. They performed way too well.

I want to reach the Finals.

If I don't get the benefit, it will be difficult.

You'll be able to get it.

I wonder what the benefit will be.

Our handsome MC.

I don't get tired of seeing you.

Wow, the group shrunk a lot.

- It's pretty empty here. - We're sad.

All five of the Original Match performances

directly evaluated by the World Assemblers are complete.

Based on the live audience voting results of the World Assemblers,

I will now announce the first-place team

and the first-place trainee who performed their song best.

Before the announcement, I will now reveal the benefit that the first-place team

and the first-place trainee will receive.

Wow, he's finally revealing it!

I'm so curious. I'm really curious about this.

The first-place trainee who received

the most votes from each team, the five trainees,

will receive 50,000 points as a benefit.

Wow, 50,000 points.

- 50,000 points are a lot. - That could raise your rank by one.

And for the entire first-place team that receives the most votes...

- 20,000 points? - 100,000 points.

150,000 points.

they will receive an additional 10%

of their global votes as a benefit.

That's so huge!

Won't that completely overturn the rankings?

What, 10%?

If you have a high rank...

Then would Kenshin receive like 300,000 votes?

10% is so huge.

An additional 10% of your global votes? I think that's huge.

The more global votes you've received, the more points you'll get as a benefit.

So whoever is on the first-place team will have such an advantage.

If I can get the additional 10%, I can make it to the Finals.

I will now announce each team's rank and its members' ranks.

[Team Rankings | Individual Rankings]

Wow, they're showing it like that.

Oh, they're showing the individual rankings too?

The 5th-place team determined by the World Assemblers's votes.

Gosh, 5th place?

Please, let's all go to the Finals together.

Since all the top-ranking trainees were in Team Merry-Go-Round and Team Trigger,

my hope was that we don't fall below 3rd place.

Our team had a lot of trainees with low ranks,

so we prepared a lot for this stage and hope to avoid 5th place, at least.

Please, don't let it be us. Please, don't let it be us.

Please reveal the 5th-place team now.

[5th place: Team KOOL-AID (54 votes): Kim Jeong Min, Kim Ju Hyeon, Kim Jun Woo, Kim Si Hun, Fong Atilla, Lee Gun Woo, Chae Hui Ju]

Original Match's 5th-place team with 54 votes is Team KOOL-AID.

I expected us to get a low rank, but hearing it announced...

We were really in last place.

Were we that unimpressive? I was really disappointed.

Why did Si Hun fall so low?

I had the highest rank among the seven members of my team

and I ranked even in the debut group once before falling out.

So I couldn't believe that I got 4th place on my team.

I told you Jeong Min performed the best.

Team KOOL-AID's first-place trainee who received the 50,000-point benefit is

Trainee Kim Jeong Min.

Congratulations.

Jeong Min's rank will rise a lot.

After I came down from the stage, I was a bit disappointed.

So I don't know if I deserve to receive first place.

I'm feeling conflicted.

This was my first time getting first place on my team, so I was happy.

But I wondered if I deserved to get this rank and was wary of others.

I'm also worried about whether I'll be able to make the finals even with the 50,000-point benefit.

Next, I will announce the 4th-place team.

Please let our team get at least one higher rank.

One rank higher, please...

Director Ryan Jhun said that we shouldn't expect to see him ever again

if we get 4th place with his song.

Gosh, the suspense is killing me.

Our choreo and song are actually really pretty.

I feel like the quality of our vocals was much more stable than other teams.

So perhaps we can aim for 2nd or 3rd place.

Please reveal it now.

It's so cruel.

[4th place: Team Time After Time (79 votes): Woo Ha Joon, Yoo Young Seo, Bing Hua, Lee Han Bin, Oh Tae Hwon, Shin Jae Won, Wu Chen Yu]

What's with Ha Joon?

Bing Hua got 3rd place.

Wow, Ha Joon!

Whoa, what's with you, Ha Joon...

Honestly, I was so disappointed with the rank.

- Wow, Ha Joon got first place. - Ha Joon got first place.

Wow, daebak.

He ranked higher than the main vocalist.

Team Time After Time's first-place trainee who received

the 50,000 point benefit is Trainee Woo Ha Joon.

I was so grateful to receive first place on my teams

in both the Position Match and Rival Match.

Did I not perform well enough to get first place this time?

Man, you really don't know about this.

I never imagined this would happen.

We're all doing well.

I'm so grateful to the World Assemblers who saw me favorably,

but I'm also feeling a bit sorry for my team members.

This was my first time receiving first place on this show,

so I got very emotional.

Thank you!

You guys did well.

Great work.

We did well. Great job.

Next, I'll announce the 3rd place team.

- Don't show our name! Not yet! - Currently, there are Team Trigger,

It's probably us, right?

Team Breaking News

and Team Merry-Go-Round left.

This is the 3rd place team.

Please reveal it now.

I think it will be us.

First, there were points in the "Trigger" stage where we went, wow.

And Team Breaking News also performed their song so fittingly,

so I expected them to get 1st and 2nd place.

Not yet. [Trigger]

I wanted all of our team members to go to the Finals together.

Please, let us get just one rank higher.

I prayed that we got just one rank higher.

[3rd place: Team Breaking News (83 votes)]

- Jun Won got first place. - Original Match's 3rd place place team with 83 votes is

Team Breaking News.

We received only 4 votes less than them.

We were so close.

I really wanted to get 1st place,

but I was pretty happy we got at least 3rd place.

Wow, Jun Won is in first place?

Hyun Woo is in last place?

The individual rankings are unpredictable.

I was pretty sad.

I wondered to myself why I have to see for myself

that I'm not popular? It made me think a lot.

I can't say that I tried harder than the other members,

but in my perspective,

I believe that I received such good results

because I tried my best and performed without any regrets.

I'm really grateful to my teammates for helping me improve.

All right. Now, there are two teams remaining.

Congratulations. [Breaking News]

Great work.

I'm happy.

This is my first time ever getting 1st place.

The only thing that was a bit sad is that

I don't know how many will make it to the Finals,

but some members were at risk of being eliminated.

I felt like I wasn't much help to those members.

Now there are two teams left.

Team Merry-Go-Round

and Team Trigger.

500 votes went to these two teams?

Trainee Nam Ji Woon of Team Merry-Go-Round,

do you think you'll get 1st place?

I've never...

received 1st place in PROJECT 7,

but I want to get 1st place this time.

All right. Trainee Jeon Min Wook of Team Trigger.

I'm sorry to Ji Woon,

but because I received 1st place many times on PROJECT 7,

I want to get 1st place today as well.

Wow, so cool.

All right.

He's formidable.

Swag!

I will now announce the 1st place team of Original Match.

Based on the World Assemblers' voting results,

this team performed their song best among the five teams.

Team Merry-Go-Round was so bubbly, cute, and energetic,

and performed their stage so well, so I'm a bit nervous.

Team Trigger has a charm that is different from ours.

I thought they might sway the World Assemblers with their sexy charm

and have a greater impact on them.

The team that will receive the 1st place benefit...

This may shift the debut group rankings.

The 1st place team will receive an additional 10% to their global voting score,

so getting 1st place as a team was so important.

I really wanted to get 1st place.

The benefit was so huge,

so I really wanted to get 1st place.

I will reveal it now.

Trigger.

Merry-Go-Round.

I will reveal it now.

Trigger.

Merry-Go-Round.

[1st place: Team Merry-Go-Round (227 votes) | 2nd place: Team Trigger (187 votes)]

[Original Match's 1st place team: Team Merry-Go-Round]

Oh, my God!

Oh, it's disappointing.

We did well.

Did Team Merry-Go-Round get 1st place?

This is unexpected.

Wow, did Team Merry-Go-Round get it?

Wow, they're amazing.

They received quadruple our score.

They have many debut group members on the team.

Original Match's 1st place team with 227 votes is

Team Merry-Go-Round.

Congratulations. Trainee Jung Se Yun, the leader.

Yes.

All seven of us worked really hard.

I'm sure other teams prepared a lot for their stages,

but we really tried hard

I believe that we were able to get 1st place because we worked hard.

All 35 trainees here, great work, everyone. Thank you!

I've become the leader of PROJECT 7's 1st-place team.

It was the best moment of my career as a trainee.

With 187 votes, Team Trigger

ended up in 2nd place.

Let's hear from the 2nd place team as well.

First, I want to thank my team members for working hard.

Though we didn't get 1st place,

I believe we all performed without any regrets on stage,

so I hope this stage will be the one we remember down the line.

Thank you.

The entire first-place team of Original Match

will receive an additional 10% of their global voting score as a benefit.

Since I received the benefit,

I will aim to enter the debut group.

I'm curious about the individual rankings as well.

Before I reveal the 1st place team's individual ranks,

I'll first reveal the 2nd place team's individual ranks.

Min Wook probably got 1st place.

It's definitely going to be Min Wook.

It could be Ma Jing Xiang, too.

No way.

I'm so curious.

Please reveal it now.

What! Wow, no way.

[2nd place: Team Trigger (187 votes): Ma Jing Xiang, Jang Yeo Jun, Jeon Min Wook, Kim Hyun Woo, Yi Chen, Lynn Lynn, Park Jun Seo]

[2nd place: Team Trigger (187 votes): Ma Jing Xiang, Jang Yeo Jun, Jeon Min Wook, Kim Hyun Woo, Yi Chen, Lynn Lynn, Park Jun Seo]

- Who got first place? - You.

Wow, really?

- This is... - Seriously?

The first-place trainee who received the 50,000-point benefit

on the second-place team, Team Trigger, is Trainee Ma Jing Xiang. Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Did Min Wook get 3rd place?

Obviously, I'm a bit disappointed.

But I can just do better next time.

- Jun Seo got last place? - How does this make sense?

I was actually quite taken aback.

I thought 7th place was a bit too low for my performance.

There are so many twists.

Seung Ho, maybe you'll get 1st place.

- No. - Congratulations.

During Team Trigger's progress check,

I received many feedback about how I wasn't very visible.

But wow, I received 1st place in the end.

I'm so grateful to my team members

since getting first place wasn't just because I did well.

Min Wook, Hyun Woo, Jun Seo,

Yi Chen, Lynn Lynn, and Yeo Jun, thank you all.

Also, World Assemblers,

thank you for showing me much love.

I'll be humble and work hard. Thank you.

Next, I will now announce the individual rankings for

the 1st place team, Team Merry-Go-Round.

This is probably Kenshin, right?

There could be a twist here too.

I don't think there will be. I don't think there will be.

Kenshin?

Kenshin.

As a twist, it could be Seung Ho or Kyoung Bae.

I think it will be Kyoung Bae.

It's so hard to predict now.

I wonder who 1st place is.

- What the... - I told you.

Daebak.

[1st place: Team Merry-Go-Round (227 votes): Song Seung Ho, Nam Ji Woon, Sakurada Kenshin, Seo Kyoung Bae, Kim Sung Min, Jung Se Yun, Andy]

- What the... What the... - I told you.

Ji Woon, Seung Ho!

Wow... What the...

Kenshin...

Really?

Congratulations, Seung Ho.

Team Merry-Go-Round's 1st place trainee who received an additional 50,000 point benefit

is Trainee Song Seung Ho.

Seung Ho in 1st place and me in 3rd place?

I was a bit shocked.

But since we got 1st place as a team, I'm fine.

All our expectations were overturned.

I want to really thank the World Assemblers for giving me such a high rank.

I'm quite shocked that I received such an unexpected rank,

but I'm really grateful to my Team Merry-Go-Round members for helping me get 1st place.

I'll work even harder and try my best to show that I deserve this rank.

Seung Ho is solidifying his place in the debut group.

Based on the World Assemblers' live audience voting results, the first-place trainees

Song Seung Ho, Ma Jing Xiang, Ahn Jun Won,

Woo Ha Joon, and Kim Jeong Min

will receive 50,000 votes as a benefit.

And all the trainees on Team Merry-Go-Round,

among the five teams will receive a benefit.

[They will each receive an additional 10% of their voting score]

Gosh, I'm jealous.

And they're all high-ranking trainees.

The number of trainees who can participate

in the Final Project, the last stage before debut will be...

Is it being announced today?

revealed during next week's third assembly ceremony.

- Gosh. - So cruel...

Right, there's an assembly ceremony next week.

Assemble and fortify. PROJECT 7.

Who will be the trainees to be assembled into the final debut group?

[Which of these trainees will be assembled into the final debut group?]

[The participants in the Finals will be decided during the last assembly ceremony in the next episode.]

[After the Original Match ended]

Great work, everyone.

Let's debut, Seung Ho.

Seung Ho, in first place.

Seung Ho, what in the world!

Wow, I got 1st place.

Seung Ho, your mother will be so happy.

Wow! Seung Ho.

- You did great. - You rapped so well.

- I told you! - I didn't even have many parts.

I told you you'll get 1st place.

Even the way you look today, it seemed like you would get 1st place.

I don't know if I deserve to get this rank.

You deserve it. There's no need to feel that way.

You received it because you did well.

You did well.

I'm sorry I'm not very popular. I'm ranked 34th.

Stop saying such nonsense.

Don't say such nonsense.

Jun Won, rise to 9th place during the next assembly ceremony.

If I can get a single-digit rank...

- Maybe you'll end up debuting. - I'll feel even more pressure.

You should try hard and debut.

You should debut.

I should debut and go to the Golden Disk awards.

Yes.

Congratulate me.

- You're doing well. - Congratulations.

Buy me some pork belly.

You!

You did well.

I got cocky saying I got first place many times and immediately...

You were taught a lesson.

I really thought I'd get 1st place.

Last place is quite a new experience.

This is a bit sad. This is the end.

No.

This isn't the end.

Let's meet again after you debut here.

I'll try my best. This is tough, it's tough.

It's tough.

I don't know if I can participate in the upcoming Final Project on PROJECT 7.

I dreamed of becoming

an idol ever since I was young.

I really, really want to enter the Finals.

Up until now, I've experienced being unable to debut

despite getting so close many times.

I'm suddenly being overwhelmed by anxiety.

I think I'll give it my all.

I want to debut. I'm so desperate to debut.

I'll debut. I can do it. I'll aim to debut.

[Which trainees will get one step closer to their dream of debuting?]

PROJECT 7 has come to Wolmido!

Let's go!

[They're in their element]

I'm at a loss.

We're making kimchi.

[Making kimchi together]

I heard that your son is appearing on an idol survival show.

- He cried a lot. - He cried?

[Tasting]

[Yum yum]

[Again?]

I can probably eat a hundred cabbages per year.

[They also go to a sauna]

Ma Jing Xiang, come out.

[The things you were unable to see before]

[Showing their aggressive(?) daily lives]

[Different 35 people]

I don't think I can forget this scene from today.

Honestly, I don't know if I can make it to the finals or not.

Personally, I think that this would be the last chance,

so I really tried my best.

I want to compete to the very end.

Since I'm one step closer to my dream of debuting.

My goal is to make it to the next round.

[Which trainees will ultimately make it into the Finals?]

[PROJECT 7, Fridays 8:50 p.m. KST]
