(Produce 101)

(Produce X 101)

(X)

(X: 1. The Roman numeral for 10, 2. An unidentified person, 3. An unknown)

We have dreams.

But whether we will achieve our dreams or not is always in question.

Dreams make us forget the fear of the future,

wake up our potential,

and inspire us to hope again.

Dreams heat up our cold hearts,

make us burn with passion,

and raise us up when we fall down.

But in order to achieve our dreams,

we have to overcome adversity,

run through endless tunnels alone,

and fight long and lonely battles.

And here are trainees who want to achieve their dreams.

If they have someone to support them in their long and lonely race,

even if they lag behind or fall down sometimes,

they will never give up on their earnest dreams.

A bright star on stage. To achieve the dream,

they try their best today.

Without your love and support for their unstoppable challenges,

the dreams of trainees...

might become unknown again.

What is your dream?

At last, today, Produce X 101...

rings up the curtain to realize the dream of 101 boys.

Hello, National Producer.

I'm the National Producer Representative, Lee Dong Wook.

X, unknown quantities,

and their infinite potential for growth.

Right here,

we have boys with unknown potential.

And they have only one dream.

To debut as a global idol artist.

And, National Producer, you're the only one...

who can realize their dream.

Then are you ready...

to produce a global idol group...

who will surprise the world?

Dear National Producer. We look forward to your support.

(Dear National Producer. We look forward to your support.)

Vote for your boy.

We will now tell you how to vote for your boy.

First, visit the official website or the mobile web...

of Produce X 101.

And click the trainee you cheer for.

You can vote for 11 trainees a day.

Until the trainees are told about their first rankings,

the voting will be in progress every day from today.

Are you ready to vote for the trainees you cheer for?

The voting begins right now.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Vote for your boy right now.

Produce X 101.

(To be continued soon.)

(Produce 101, Produce 101 Season 2, Produce 48,)

(and the long-awaited X-Day has come.)

(The X is finally being unveiled.)

(The blockbuster project to foster a global idol group)

(Produce X 101)

(101 chairs for the boys running for their dreams)

(With National Producer's choice,)

(a new global idol group will come into the world.)

(What's the first agency to show up?)

(Ta-da)

- Ta-da. - I've only seen this on TV.

- Doesn't it look nicer? - I know.

It looks so pretty.

I guess we're the first team to be here.

Really?

(Trainee Cha Jun Ho from Woollim Entertainment)

Hello.

We are trainees from Woollim Entertainment.

- I'm Joo Chang Uk. - I'm Hwang Yun Seong.

- I'm Kim Dong Yun. - I'm Cha Jun Ho.

- I'm Kim Min Seo. - Moon Jun Ho.

- Please support us. - Please support us.

(Woollim Entertainment is INFINITE and Lovelyz's management agency.)

In the previous season, Kwon Eun Bi and Kim Chae Won...

made their debut as IZONE.

Two trainees from the agency made their debut.

How good would they be?

I'm under a lot of pressure.

But if I keep trying and do my best,

I believe I will make my debut.

I'll work really hard.

(Amazed)

- We're the first ones to be here. - We're the first here.

My goodness.

- Now that I'm here... - This is amazing.

This is unbelievable.

- Where should we sit? - Where do we sit?

We should sit on the first place chair.

(Will they sit on the first place chair from the beginning?)

- I want to sit there. - Me too.

I really wanted to do this.

- It looks pretty. - Wow. This is the first place.

- It looks great. - I can't believe this.

It's so high that I feel dizzy.

This is amazing.

(This is amazing.)

Am I dreaming or what?

I'm scared.

My gosh.

I feel like a king.

It's comfortable.

- This is the best. - You will feel nervous...

- if you look down from there. - Look down there.

I can't do this.

Let's sit there. Watch your step.

- Let's go back to reality. - To reality.

Let's sit here.

- We're sitting together. - This is good.

(The trainees of Woollim sit in 38th to 43rd place seats.)

- I feel like I'm in a dream. - Me too.

When other trainees show up, we should get up and say hello.

Loudly and brightly.

- "Brightly"? - And confidently.

(Brightly and confidently)

What's next?

It's C9.

- C9. - It's C9.

That's Bae Jin Young's agency.

(Bae Jin Young of Wanna One belongs to C9.)

You must have confidence. You shouldn't be like me.

Make sure to have confidence.

- Okay. - I will wish you good luck.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

There are two of them.

They must be more nervous than we are.

There's the 50th place seat. What do you think?

I like it there.

(Jin Young emphasized the importance of confidence.)

- I like it there. - No.

We should sit in the middle.

Let's go there.

Let's sit in the 20th and 21st seats.

Let's go and see it then.

We'll go and see how it looks?

(Trainee Keum Dong Hyun and Lee Jae Bin go up the pyramid.)

- Do you want to sit here? - Yes.

This is better.

This is too high.

(Jae Bin feels a lot of pressure.)

Can we go one step down?

(Make sure to have confidence.)

We should have confidence. Come here.

(We should have confidence. Come here.)

Let's sit here.

(The trainees of C9 sit in the 20th and 21st place seats.)

What agency is coming up next?

Gosh, it's Maroo Entertainment.

Maroo Entertainment is Park Ji Hoon's agency.

(Maroo Entertainment is the wink boy, Park Ji Hoon's agency.)

(Like this, Ji Hoon?)

(I'm the next generation wink boy.)

(Malfunctioning)

(Blinking)

(Fixing his eyes on the camera)

One to one eye contact.

Start.

(One to one eye contact)

(It fails.)

My heart is pounding.

(Rankings expected by trainees)

You wrote 50th place?

(You wrote 50th place?)

I wrote 50th place for my ranking.

(I wrote 50th place for my ranking.)

But my goal is 10th place.

I'll practice a lot and work hard to be in the top 10th.

(Rankings expected by trainees)

(What about the expected rankings of the trainees of Yue Hwa?)

Practically speaking,

I think I might be able to get in the top 50th.

My goal is to debut as a member...

of the next Wanna One.

The first place seat is empty.

(The 1st place seat is still empty.)

To be honest, I want to try sitting in the first place seat.

(Do you want to give it a try?)

Do you want to get some air from up there?

Really? Then you sit there.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

We'll get some air up there.

- They're going up there. - They are separate?

The air up here...

(Who will be taking the 1st place seat?)

What?

It's done. I will never wash this hand.

I'm leaving, Geum Ryul.

Gosh, what do I do?

(He can't sit in the 1st place seat easily.)

Where do you want to sit?

I'd like to sit in the first place seat, but...

I don't think I can sit in the first place seat.

The first place seat is too much pressure.

I'm not good enough to sit in the first place seat.

I'd be ashamed.

I'm afraid to sit in the first place seat.

To be honest, I want to try sitting in the first place seat.

(He finally takes the seat after hesitating for a long time.)

(Hwang Geum Ryul is the first one to sit in the 1st place seat.)

- He sat there. - The light is on.

That's so cool. He's a man.

- He's so cool. - My gosh.

How is it? Does the air feel different?

This feels like the celestial world.

I wonder what the "X" means.

X is the roman numeral for 10.

So it will be a group of 10?

- Is it the number of members? - Yes.

There are only 10 seats in here.

(Does that mean only 10 members will be making their debut?)

There were only 10 seats for the debut.

It says X, so will only 10 members make their debut?

It will be a 10-member group.

So there will be one less member to debut.

It will be very competitive.

It will be a fierce competition.

(Who is coming in next?)

Oui Entertainment.

What grade do you think you will get?

Considering my ability, I guess I'll get a D.

My goal is to get a D.

I'll be happy if I get a C.

I might get a B.

- We finally have someone with a B. - He wrote a B.

- There's a B. - He's the first one to say that.

C was the highest grade we'd had.

There hasn't been a trainee with an A yet.

What?

- A? - A?

(Baek Jin)

(A, unless I get nervous)

(Slapping)

"A, unless I get nervous."

But I'm nervous now. I really am.

(Nervous and anxious)

The camera is on me.

What? Why am I the only one who expected an A?

It's good that you're confident.

What about you guys?

Modest?

(Modest?)

Okay. I'll be modest.

- Fantagio. - Fantagio?

(Choi Yoo Jung and Kim Do Yeon of I.O.I...)

(and Ong Seong Wu of Wanna One...)

(belong to Fantagio.)

He's alone.

What?

Ong Seong Wu was dressed like that in this show.

(Is dressing all black the tradition of Fantagio?)

My goal is...

to take fifth place.

Ong Seong Wu was in fifth place in this show.

My seniors...

paved the way so well for me.

People must have high expectations on me.

So I really want to take first place at least once.

(Trainee Hwang Geum Ryul is sitting in the 1st place seat now.)

Is he going to the first place seat?

(The other trainees feel nervous watching him.)

Hello.

- Will you fight for the seat? - Yes.

How would you like to decide?

They are fighting for the seat.

(In Produce 101 Season 2)

Can we play the tangsuyuk game?

(Can we play the tangsuyuk game?)

(The trainees can play any game they want to take the seat.)

(What about this time?)

How would you like to decide?

The one-hand pushup.

- The one-hand pushup? - Yes.

I can't do it with one hand. How does he do that?

I'll go first.

My gosh.

(Impressed)

(Han Gi Chan starts doing pushups using one hand.)

He's a man.

It's like a scene from a movie.

(Trainee Hwang Geum Ryul will challenge with the one-hand pushup.)

(Exclaiming)

(Unfortunately, Trainee Hwang Geum Ryul failed to endure.)

I feel bad for him.

That's not easy to do.

- Good job. - Thank you.

Thank you.

I've just seen people taking each other's seats with my own eyes.

That was unbelievable.

Our seats have changed.

I finally changed the seat.

Will he be the second Ong Seong Wu?

(Trainee Han Gi Chan from Fantagio gained the 1st seat.)

The Trainee from Fantagio is really handsome. He mesmerizes me.

He looks just like Ong Seong Wu.

Haven't you ever heard of someone say you look like Seo Kang Jun?

- Me? - Yes.

You have, right?

He looks like Kim Haon.

He looks like ZICO.

He looks like Hyeong Seop and Eui Woong from a distance.

He looks like Onew of SHINee.

He looks like Key of SHINee.

- I think so. - I know, right?

(Trainee from South Entertainment entered quietly.)

1, 2, 3.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

He reminds me of someone. Who is that?

- I think I know who! - I told you.

(Trainee Nam Dong Hyun is Nam Tae Hyun's brother.)

(Silence)

Do you have any worries or anxiety?

Or is there anything that you want to ask me?

(What does he want to ask his brother?)

You know, it's going to be harder than you thought.

- I know. - You must focus, but are you ready?

(Thinking)

Yes.

When did you start doing music?

Do you really want to be an idol?

You should set a definite goal.

Don't cling to grades,

but learn when you go there.

All right.

Eat.

I'm just worried about you.

Since when did you want to become an idol?

You must feel like throwing up hearing me say these stuff.

I really want to throw up.

Anyway, I can see you practicing hard.

And that eases my mind.

I should practice harder.

(How will Nam Dong Hyun prove himself?)

I guess there won't be any trainees from the three big agencies.

If they participate...

- Oh, my! SM Entertainment? - What is this?

SM Entertainment?

I've never imagined that a trainee from a big agency would participate.

There might be trainees from YG Entertainment.

- I'm worried. - And JYP perhaps?

My goodness, please.

He might be the former SM trainee.

(During "Produce 48", a former YG trainee was the talk of the town.)

(Individual trainee)

Is he really from SM Entertainment?

Why isn't it changing?

He really is from SM Entertainment.

My goodness, a trainee from SM Entertainment?

He is from SM Entertainment.

Don't worry, we are from DSP.

- DSP Warriors! - Warriors!

- What is that? - ESteem?

What is this?

- It's a model agency. - I see.

So is it like YG KPLUS?

- I think something like that. - We got fooled.

We got fooled.

(Many of the world top models like Jang Yoon Joo, Han Hye Jin,)

(Lee Hyun Yi, and Kim Jin Kyung belong to Esteem.)

But he is still from SM.

- That's right. - He must be good.

I bet he will be tall and good-looking.

Of course, he is from a model agency.

I think he's going to lower his head when he appears.

He reminds me of "Goblin".

(Humming)

(Here they come.)

(Their model-halo could be felt from a distance.)

(Wherever they walk, they make the street to a runway.)

(This was taken legitimately and safely under the traffic control.)

(Model walk)

(They appear with a style.)

- Look how tall they are. - They are really tall.

They are very well-proportioned.

It's so obvious that they are models.

Look at that power walking. They are awesome.

That was cool.

(Let me try.)

They are really tall.

If I were to stand by them, I will look pathetic.

All of a sudden, I feel like my legs are too short.

Why are they so tall?

I only look tall when I sat down.

(A sullen face)

They are too tall. I envy them.

Dong Yun, you are not that short.

- Around Us Entertainment? - Around Us Entertainment?

I think it's their first time participating.

I think it's their first time participating.

"Highlight."

(It's their first time participating "Produce".)

(The idol group "Highlight" has established Around Us.)

- Source Music Entertainment. - Source Music Entertainment.

Have they participated before?

Isn't it their first time?

"GFRIEND" belongs to this agency.

(Followed by Around Us, it's their first time in "Produce".)

(GFRIEND, the group that is known for a perfect dance belongs here.)

They are the first trainees that our company is unveiling.

I hope you step into our shoes.

I hope all of you get Grade A.

(Feeling anxious)

All As.

I will keep my eyes on you until all of you get Grade A.

You will be the very first rookie from Around Us Entertainment.

Are you confident?

(Serious)

- I will monitor you guys. - All right.

I'm going to check whether all of you get Grade A or not.

We are juniors of Highlight.

- "MLD"? - "MLD"?

- MLD, MLD. - MOMOLAND.

(It's the agency of the general trend group, MOMOLAND.)

My hands are shaking.

I once participated in Season Two...

of "Produce 101" in 2017.

What was your final ranking?

It was placed 58th.

Back then I wasn't ready to prove myself to the full.

So I decided to try again.

(The trainees recognize Trainee Kim Dong Bin.)

Goodness.

Hello.

He participated in the early season.

Is he from Season Two?

Oh, my!

Kim Dong Bin came out again.

"Chewing Gum".

That's right.

He cried, right?

Did he?

I'm going to prove myself this time.

I heard there are a lot of foreigners this time.

(Who are the global trainees?)

Hello.

Is he Thai?

Is he from Japan?

- This season is very global. - I know.

- "Wei Zi Yue". - "Tony".

- Hello. - Hello.

Where are you from?

I'm Chinese.

(Speaking Chinese)

- What are they speaking? - It means ranked 48th in Chinese.

Oh, you are awesome. You are amazing.

I speak a bit of goblin language.

(Speaking random words)

(Please vote on the website now.)

- What is that? - Oh, my!

- For real? - For real?

They might be from YG KPLUS.

- The trainees from YG. - I doubt it.

He is the real deal.

This is crazy!

(The real-time rankings from 1 to 101 will be revealed soon.)

(The trainees from various agencies are keep coming in.)

Can you believe that we are in Produce X 101 right now?

- No. - It's so amazing that I'm here.

I didn't know I was going to be in Produce X 101.

It's just like a dream.

(Another trainee who is also bewildered by the reality appeared.)

Oh, my!

Look at these cameras.

I'm nervous. I don't know what's going on.

I'm nervous.

(Shaking)

My hands are really shaking.

I will stick it on my chest.

Go for it.

(Lee Eun Sang from Brand New Music Entertainment)

(Trainees from Brand New Music participated in Season 2.)

(And they demonstrated high performances.)

The trainees from Brand New Music...

achieved success in the prior season.

So if we do poorly in this season,

we will bring...

disgrace on Brand New Music.

To be frank, I'm worried.

- They must be good. - I think so.

They are from a good agency.

This agency produced two Wanna One members.

It's written on their faces that they are good.

Did they bring their own song again?

(Brand New Music attracted many trainees' attention.)

The trainees from big agencies have started to appear.

I want to see trainees from Starship Entertainment right away.

Starship Entertainment!

My goodness, it's Starship Entertainment!

Why did they have to place them after us?

We might be compared.

Starship Entertainment!

(Great attention)

Starship Entertainment is a big agency in Korea.

- "WJSN." - I can't wait to see them.

I hold Starship Entertainment in check.

- Starship Entertainment? - Starship Entertainment.

People have faith in Starship Entertainment.

The trainees from Starship Entertainment...

did good in every season.

Will they make their debut in Season Four?

I expected many great trainees from Starship Entertainment.

(Who are this season's Starship trainees?)

Move to the left.

That was too much.

Hello, I'm Trainee Moon Hyun Bin from Starship Entertainment.

I'm Song Hyung Jun.

I'm Ham Won Jin.

I'm Koo Jung Mo.

And I'm Kang Min Hee.

1, 2.

- Starship's kids, let's do this! - Let's do this!

Produce X 101.

- Let's do this! - Let's do this!

(They are singing a cheer-up song.)

(Exclaiming)

(Huddling together)

Oh, my stomach.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hello.

(The Starship trainees enter hand in hand.)

My gosh, they are so cute.

- They are holding hands. - Right.

- They are cute. - They are cute.

We thought the same thing.

They look really young.

Yes, they do look quite young.

I used to be young like them.

There are so many adorable trainees here.

So many of them are young.

(Many young trainees applied for this season.)

I think they are from a major label.

Which label will it be?

My gosh, they are from Jellyfish Entertainment.

- Jellyfish Entertainment. - Gosh, Jellyfish Entertainment.

Jellyfish Entertainment.

Here's the fish-shaped bun.

(His eyes are fixated.)

(Everyone gets up.)

No way.

Hey, when we came in, people weren't impressed like this.

(The trainees from Jellyfish enter in the midst of amazement.)

- Hello. - Hi.

He's my pick.

He's really good-looking.

I can't stop looking at him.

- I might fall in love with him. - I'm already captivated.

Exactly.

- He's handsome. - Right.

Hey, did we look good-looking like them when we talked?

When we were talking among ourselves?

(Nodding his head)

He's so fair-skinned. He's like a charming prince on a white horse.

After coming here, I realized there so many handsome guys.

He's really handsome.

What about us?

Us?

My cheeks are about to explode.

I look like a beetle.

(Snickering)

Let me see again.

I do, right?

How is the color of my lips?

Is it still there?

Smack your lips.

Smack them this way.

- Should I apply some? - Give it to me.

(This is how a manly man applies the lipstick.)

I'm so ugly.

Stop saying that. You look great.

Be quiet. Saying that you're ugly repeatedly isn't a good thing.

I'm so handsome.

- But that's too... - Right.

Think about it. So far, everyone who came here was handsome.

- Right. - That means...

people will probably think we're handsome too.

- No. - No way that...

only the 3 of us are ugly among 101.

I think I'm the ugliest one here.

No, no one is ugly here.

Right.

But there hasn't been a single individual trainee yet, right?

- No. - They decided to increase...

a lot of individual trainees for this season.

(The news for the increase garnered much attention.)

I heard that the competition for individual trainees was so fierce.

Word on the street is that tens of thousands of people applied.

(Individual Trainee)

Finally!

It's the individual trainees.

- At last. - Gosh.

I was really curious.

- I can't wait to see him. - These trainees received...

- the biggest cheer so far. - Right.

Kim Jae Hwan also made a debut as an individual trainee.

I'm really looking forward to see who they are.

(Impressed)

There are so many.

- Seriously. - Why are there so many of them?

When will they stop coming out?

- Seriously. How many are there? - There are a lot.

(The individual trainees endlessly come in.)

(9 individual trainees are participating in the show.)

Hold on!

Is he from "Sky Castle"?

- He's from "Sky Castle". - No way.

What a surprise!

- I can't believe this. - He was Soo Han.

Didn't he play the son of Oh Na Ra?

I was a huge fan of the drama.

- I was a big fan of the drama. - I watched it.

I'm the only one who didn't watch it.

You have to watch it. Watch it at home.

I only watch shows from Mnet.

A lot of my friends did impressions of people from the drama.

- "You have to trust me completely." - "You have to trust me completely."

"Bring her home."

"Yes, ma'am."

"My gosh."

We all lie

(Suddenly talking about the drama)

He was in it.

The best spot in a pyramid...

isn't the top, but the middle.

The middle spot is the best.

- Did you just act? - Yes.

I was Soo Han in the drama.

I'm Eugene in this show.

My wish is to be in first place.

Actually, being in the middle is the best in life,

but there are times when you need to be at the top.

And I'm working towards to be at the top.

Doing my complete best...

for National Producers...

is my goal for this show.

Dear National Producers, you must trust me completely.

- Goodness. - 100th place?

No way.

I bet he's going to go up a lot.

He was in "Sky Castle" after all.

Being in that drama is cheating.

Hey, we must do well.

It's all about our talent.

I want to smell the air from the top.

(Lee Mi Dam from AAP.Y Entertainment is in 1st place.)

He used to be in YG.

The guy in first place.

Which label is next?

Come on out.

- Stone Music. - Stone Music.

Stone Music Entertainment.

- He looks so confident. - He's confident.

He's like a model.

He's so cool.

He's brimming with confidence.

(He's browsing through the leftover seats.)

(The chairs for 84th and 85th places are empty.)

Only the low-ranking places are left.

(Will he go for it?)

I'll give it a try.

(Kim Sung Hyun will challenge for 1st place.)

- He's going for first place. - Yes.

He's a man.

(He heads to 1st place with everyone's eyes on him.)

Hello.

Hey, get some popcorn right now.

Are you a rapper or a vocalist?

I'm a vocalist.

You are? I'm a rapper. This is bad.

I can rap too.

Which one? Choose the one you're comfortable with.

I'll rap.

I'll go first.

(The rap battle for the throne starts now.)

(What's up? This is him)

It's a battle.

(Surprisingly, Mi Dam, the vocalist, shows he's good at rapping too.)

I'm cooking this rap up

In YG's kitchen

If you're hungry, get some of this

If you like it, stuff your face with it

(Mi Dam shows off his powerful rap first.)

(Make some noise!)

Try to top this

(His rap impressed the trainees.)

- That was awesome. - He was so cool.

(Sung Hyun challenges him with his original rap.)

You're looking for a shadow in winter, not in summer

(He sits on the chair like it's his.)

I'm facing myself from inside

I'll kill it then, what?

(Their battle is close that a winner can't be determined.)

How should we settle this?

I just got goosebumps.

Is this "Show Me the Money" or Produce X 101?

How should we settle this?

- Should we decide by cheers? - By cheers?

Yes.

We'll hear it for Mi Dam first.

(Screaming)

Let's hear it for me now.

(The cheers have gotten softer.)

(Sweating)

I was disappointed by the cheers.

I thought I did a good job.

It looked like he got...

a bigger cheer than me.

That was so cool.

You're so cool.

I haven't shown all of my talents yet.

And the real game hasn't even started yet.

I won't let this bring me down.

Gosh, "The Music Works".

- "The Music Works". - Will Myteen join?

That's nonsense. They made a debut.

They can still join even after their debut.

(The trainees from The Music Works enter amidst many speculations.)

(The familiar faces surprise them.)

- Hello. - Hello.

They are really joining.

- Right, Myteen. - Yes, I think it's them.

("Song Yu Vin and Kim Kook Heon Will Join Produce X as Trainees")

For this season, a lot of people who already debuted are joining.

I heard VICTON is joining too.

Right.

(The news of them joining became the talk of the town.)

("Choi Byung Chan and Han Seung Woo Will Join Produce X")

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hi.

A lot of people who debuted are joining.

I get the feeling that celebrities will keep coming out.

What if UP10TION joins too?

("Kim Woo Seok of UP10TION Will Go for Produce X")

(The trainees from TOP Media enter.)

- Hello. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hello. Hi. - Hi.

- Don't they look at ease? - I'm envious.

People who made their debut do look different indeed.

Gosh.

They have a presence.

They totally have a strong presence.

It might be because they already debuted.

They do have a presence.

I thought that their group did well. Am I wrong?

Should we sit down?

Later. Let's stand here for a bit more.

Why is everyone standing up?

Should I stand up again?

I have a question. Why are they standing there for so long?

I don't know.

I think we can sit down.

They have an aura that we can't approach.

Should we sit down now?

They are our seniors.

Shouldn't we sit down later?

(Hesitating)

I think we can sit down.

I don't think we should.

Gosh, I'm going to stand up.

You can sit down. It's okay.

Please sit down.

It feels like we're in the army.

- Hello. - Hello.

They can't be taking the first place seat.

(Will they sit in the first place seat)

I came around to see your faces.

Hello.

- Hello. - Excuse me.

(Woo Seok and Jin Hyuk step down as they greet the other trainees.)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

He glared at me fiercely.

He's a bit scary.

(Jin Hyuk and Woo Seok...)

(take seats for 98th and 99th place.)

I could relate to them because they've been...

performing as singers just like us.

Let's work hard.

We're only left with a few seats.

(Only 3 seats are left.)

Trainees from big agencies like YG aren't participating.

YG? JYP?

- No SM? - We're trainees at SM.

I think the last ones must be great. They are taking time.

Why aren't they coming out?

VIPs always come late.

The main stars always arrive late.

They're from YG.

- YG? - YG trainees are participating?

I heard that the food at YG is good.

(Goodness)

- What's going on? - Goodness.

KPLUS.

Here we go. KPLUS.

KPLUS, again!

Are they taking us in again?

Be careful, everyone. You'll get fooled.

(YG)

(YG KPLUS victims)

It's YG KPLUS.

What if Hyun Bin comes out?

(Hey,)

(were you talking about me?)

Again?

"Hello. I'm Yang Hyun Suk in charge of Produce 101."

They recently did "Treasure Box". Will they join again this time?

I bet YG trainees aren't participating.

I agree.

Why is it still here?

- No way. - It should be gone by now.

It's really overwhelming.

Why does it look so big?

Is this for real?

- Is YG really joining? - Are they from YG?

(Getting attention)

They are from YG Entertainment.

Who is it?

It's Wang Jyun Hao.

Mahiro.

- No way. - They're really from YG.

They are really here.

(YG Entertainment has big stars like Winner, iKON and BLACKPINK.)

We're done.

Trainees from big agencies like YG don't really feel down to earth.

It's like they are from a different world.

I didn't expect to see YG trainees here.

I didn't expect it either. This is really amazing.

I'm really nervous.

Trainee lineup for this season is amazing.

Don't YG trainees have a lot of fans?

- It's like they're cheating. - Why?

I'm sure they will outvote us from the start.

That's right.

We can't help it. We're not from YG.

So what if they're from YG?

So what if they're from YG? How well we do is all that matters.

Last trainee.

- Only one left? - Yes.

- Who's the last one? - I don't know.

- It's finally the last one. - Is he "X-man"?

Jang Moon Bok can't be joining again.

I'm curious now.

Who can be more overwhelming than YG trainees?

Is it someone from JYP?

No way.

No way. What?

Oh, my gosh.

This is crazy.

- So you were right. - Goodness.

I was using my oil blotting paper.

- Oh, so you were right. - He's from JYP.

He's from JYP.

(Another big agency JYP has superstars like...)

(TWICE and GOT7.)

It's like we're backstabbed twice.

It's a competition between YG and JYP.

Trainees from top three agencies are all here.

SM, YG, and JYP.

How can the top three agencies all send their trainees?

- This will be the trending search. - This will be competitive.

This season's lineup is too harsh.

Why am I sitting in second place seat?

You deserve to be sitting there.

We shouldn't be intimidated.

I think we're all done here.

Don't say things like that.

- I want to win this. - He's from JYP.

What are we going to do?

We don't even belong to big agencies.

- So what? We can perform well too. - That's right.

- We just need to do well. - We have Jae Hwan on our side.

- That's right. Please cheer for us. - Please.

- JYP would send only talented ones. - That's right.

He must have a lot on his shoulders.

(Here comes the last trainee.)

(The last trainee appears...)

(as everyone's excited to see him.)

Look how relaxed he is.

He's charismatic.

Goodness. He's charismatic.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

He looks like someone from JYP.

(Trainee Yun Seo Bin looks around the seats.)

(There's only one chair left.)

(He looks up to higher seats.)

He's coming. I just saw his eyes.

- JYP. - He's going for first place seat.

I can tell that he's ambitious.

He's walking towards the first place seat.

The last trainee is going for the first place seat.

He's not hesitant at all.

JYP trainee walks straight towards it.

Let's get it.

He's going to beat everyone.

- Hello. - Hello.

Is he just stepping down?

(Is he giving up first place seat?)

(Seo Bin walks back to 1st place seat.)

He knows how to push and pull.

He's making it exciting.

May I sit here?

- Goodness. - May I sit here?

Are they having a fight?

They're having this mental game.

(What is Mi Dam going to say?)

I'll let you sit here if you beat me.

- If I beat you? - Yes.

It's JYP versus YG.

This can't be written in the script.

(What will they compete with?)

How about arm wrestling?

I'm left-handed. Is it okay?

- Are you left-handed? - Yes.

Okay.

It's like they're competing over their pride.

(Who will take first place seat?)

They are tough men.

Let's go.

Their hands are shaking.

Ready.

Ready.

Ready.

Start.

One second cut.

- What's that? - Who won?

What just happened?

What happened?

What's going on?

Who won?

Who won?

- I'm taking this seat. - Yes.

Start.

(Seo Bin won as soon as he started the game.)

(Seo Bin's the winner.)

- Goodness. - JYP!

JYP trainee. He's incredible.

- That was cool. - Gosh.

JYP trainees are cool.

He's the king.

He's so cool.

He gets the throne in the end.

He did his part for this show.

He's got everything. He's good-looking and strong.

He's in the first place seat.

I'm so jealous.

- He's at the center. - The power of first place.

So is everyone finally here?

101 trainees are all here.

We're finally starting this.

(National Producer Representative)

National Producer Representative.

Who can it be?

Who do you want it to be?

What about you?

- IU. - IU?

Lee Hyo Lee.

Who is it?

I don't care if it's a man. I'd be so happy to see him.

It's show time.

(National Producer Representative)

(Goodness)

(The Representative makes all trainees stand up.)

Is this for real?

(Lee Dong Wook is here as the National Producer Representative.)

(He's an actor who's here as the National Producer Representative.)

Forget me.

It's my first time seeing him in person!

Goodness. I can't believe this.

He's so good-looking.

(Amazed)

He's the most good-looking man I've ever seen in my life.

- Goodness. - He's just so handsome.

Hello, everyone.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm Producer X 101 National Producer Representative.

I'm Lee Dong Wook. Nice to meet you all.

(Screaming)

He's so good-looking.

He's very popular in China.

I know I shouldn't say this,

but I don't want to be filmed right next to him.

When I was first asked to represent National Producers,

I couldn't decide easily...

because I'm not a singer to begin with.

Then I was reminded of my debut performance.

I was a trainee before I made my debut...

once in the past as well.

I thought I'd be able to empathize with...

the feeling of desperation.

Thus, as of today, I'd like to be a messenger...

who delivers the emotions and opinions of National Producers...

as well as a supportive brother.

- "Brother". - So please make use of me...

as much as you can.

(The trainees welcome him with passion.)

I have this feeling that he'll be of a lot of comfort.

There has been a slight change in this season.

Do you know what it is?

- X. - That's right.

What do you think is the meaning of "X"?

10 members? Collaboration?

It means...

"unknown".

In other words,

incomplete trainees...

with infinite potential like you.

How many trainees will get to make a debut this year?

- 10. - 10?

Maybe it's 10.

I saw it earlier, and there were only 10 debut chairs.

A total of...

11 trainees will get to make a debut.

It's the same.

You might wonder,

"It's 11, so why are there only 10 debut chairs?"

"Will the 11th place get to make a debut?"

The debut members this year...

won't be decided by the rankings...

from 1st to 11th.

What?

The final 11 debut members in this season...

(The final 11 debut members in this season)

will be 10 plus X.

(The final debut members)

First off, 10 means...

the trainees who place 1st to 10th...

during the final live ranking announcement.

And X...

is not the trainee who places 11th...

on the day of the final ranking announcement.

It means the trainee with the highest number...

of accumulated votes from a total of four votings.

In other words,

the trainee who proves his potential for the next 100 days...

will become the final debut member.

I like the new rule.

You've got to receive many votes consistently to become X.

In the case of Season Two,

it would've been JR.

If I work hard,

I might get a chance to be X.

Shall we say hello to National Producers...

- who will produce you from now on? - Yes!

Produce X 101. The 101 trainees.

Greet your National Producers.

- Hello, National Producers. - Hello, National Producers.

For you to be equipped with abilities befitting a global idol,

you need the help of these people.

They are the best trainers in the show's history.

Let me introduce them to you.

(The ability-training team enters the stage.)

Who will they be?

It's Lee Seok Hoon.

(The vocal trainer from Season 2 has returned.)

(The role model of trainees, the top vocalist)

I'd like to approach them in a humane way...

and communicate with them first.

(Vocal Trainer Lee Seok Hoon)

(Refreshing)

(She's trained top idol singers in YG, JYP, and so on.)

I plan to teach more of the basics...

so that they can make use of it in the actual performances.

(Vocal Trainer Shin Yoo Mi)

(She's been the rap trainer since the 1st season.)

My goal is to maximize the good sides...

of each trainee.

(Rap Trainer Cheetah)

(He's the dance instructor of "Produce 48"...)

(who specializes in making idol dancers regardless of gender.)

(Dance Trainer Choi Young Joon)

X!

(He makes powerful choreographies.)

(The dance instructor of "Produce 101")

I plan to turn them into competent, cool artists.

(Dance Trainer Kwon Jae Seung)

(And...)

Good luck today.

(The soft charisma)

(Special one-day trainer, Soyou)

We've got the best trainers in history.

It's unbelievable.

There has been a change in grade evaluation as well.

Dong Bin in the 11th place seat,

can you tell us what grades there were in the previous season?

There were grades from A to F.

It's different this year.

(It's different this year.)

The grades will be divided into...

A, B, C, D, and X.

We have a new grade called X.

What will happen to those trainees with an X?

Trainees with an X...

(Trainees with an X)

cannot be admitted to the 101 Training Center.

(Trainees with an X cannot be admitted.)

Will we go home today then?

Do we get eliminated then?

I guess the staff is trying to be as cruel as they can.

This is just too much.

Trainees who aren't skilled enough...

to make a debut will be given an X.

You got an X.

I don't know what to say other than sorry.

(Who will end up getting an X?)

How many trainees will get an X?

Don't be nervous and show your ability as much as you can.

Good luck.

I'd like anything but Grade X.

Not an X.

We'll begin the grade evaluation from now on.

(The first grade evaluation begins.)

(Please vote on the website now.)

(The grade evaluation of the 101 boys will begin soon.)

(The grade evaluation of the 101 boys will begin soon.)

"Produce X, their story begins..."

"right here on this stage."

(Which agency will perform first?)

- I wish the first kids are bright. - Me too.

It'll give us strength then.

The first team could mark a standard, right?

That's right.

I don't know much about music.

Just watch their performances at ease.

- In the viewers' perspective? - Right, as one of the viewers.

Go for it!

Let's go!

(The Representative enters for the grade evaluation.)

- Goodness. - He's so cool.

Is he even human?

Are you nervous?

(He talked to me.)

You can do it.

Thank you.

- Our eyes met. - It's like I'm watching a drama.

- I know. - It's like I'm watching "Goblin".

- He's so handsome. - I know.

You'll now perform in agencies...

for the grade evaluation from now on.

Dear trainers,

please evaluate the trainees...

with their debut plausibility in mind.

Let's invite the first team on the stage.

- This is exciting. - I wonder how they'll do.

It's Source Music.

Source Music.

Source Music is on their first participation. I'm curious.

I was looking forward to seeing them.

It's the agency of GFRIEND.

- Hello. - Hello.

GFRIEND are such great seniors of ours.

We're practicing all our might,

thinking that we'll make a debut...

and become like them...

if we keep training ourselves in this agency.

What are you performing?

"Ko Ko Bop".

(Right.)

("Ko Ko Bop" is the charming song of the global trendy idol, EXO.)

That's a difficult song. I guess you guys are good.

(I guess you guys are good.)

We're good.

(Right, we are.)

- He's full of confidence. - I know.

My strength is passion and power.

Power.

Let's focus on making it powerful.

Put all your strength.

I'm powerful when I dance because I'm strong.

It's burning up.

(During the prior meeting)

My specialty is...

(Showing off his strength)

- Are you strong? - Yes.

Ready, go.

(Hyun Bin arm-wrestles with the staff member.)

Gosh, he's really strong.

He beat you in a second.

With my strength and passion,

I'll try to bring a good evaluation result.

(The Source Music trainees are standing backstage.)

(And the DSP Media trainees follow in.)

(There's a strange war of nerves between them.)

Before we came backstage,

the DSP trainees were singing "Ko Ko Bop"...

behind us.

They were humming.

"Ko Ko Bop". "Ko Ko Bop".

(Sighing)

I thought we'd be compared.

(Source Music and DSP Media...)

(prepared their performances with the same song.)

It was unable to hold

I was like, "What is this?"

The Source Music guys prepared "Ko Ko Bop" too.

I thought we might have to compete with them.

Their formation is quite different.

Ours is neater.

It's also the first participation in terms of male idols for DSP Media.

We're determined to beat them with our performance.

We'll try to beat them.

(How will things turn out against each other?)

- They might do well. - Ready.

Let's go!

("Ko Ko Bop" by EXO)

They're really powerful.

I like the strength of their dance.

Just their dance.

This is so hard.

Trainees like them are tricky.

What's your decision?

They were different...

in terms of charms and feelings.

Their version of "Ko Ko Bop"...

was different from ours.

- We just need to do our thing. - Let's do our best.

- DSP Warriors! - Warriors!

- Hello. - Hello.

- Let's start. - Okay.

Look at his hands.

- Music, please. - They're lost.

Dong Pyo?

That's right, I'm the Son Dong Pyo whom you've heard of.

I'm full of talents,

and I'm playful.

- He's cute. - He smiles a lot.

(He's got to follow what's cute.)

(Aren't I cute?)

(Sad)

There, it's a camera.

Wait, it saw me.

I think...

being an idol singer...

is about showing off their charms and being loved by others.

I'm eager to make a debut.

I'm determined to get an A.

("Ko Ko Bop" by EXO)

Oh, it's the same song.

It's this song again.

"Ko Ko Bop"?

They're doing the same song.

How cute.

Son Dong Pyo, that guy is good.

(Amazed)

They're really good.

I didn't know "Ko Ko Bop" had such a cool choreography.

Son Dong Pyo is good.

That was well-planned.

They're good.

The DSP guys were much better at making face expressions...

and showing talents.

Dong Pyo, will there be anything else...

you can show us?

What would you like to see?

(What would you like to see?)

That's the spirit!

I've never had any trainee ask such a question.

He's playing hard to get.

I'll give you the lucky number then.

Play number seven.

(Dong Pyo reacts right away to the familiar prelude.)

- Oh, my goodness. - "Oh, my goodness."

(Laughing)

Look at him showing off his talents.

(Boom, boom)

He's cute.

Great!

- He's so cute. - He's cute.

He's really good. So good.

He's so talented.

How old is he?

- He's 18. - He's 18.

Look at the screen.

Check his face expression.

Great!

Is he going that way?

Just let it, boom, boom

How cute.

(Dong Pyo's performance was full of energy.)

He's so cute.

He might as well be the second JooE.

Dong Pyo, you kept making face expressions to me...

throughout the dance performance.

(He made cute face expressions only for Representative Lee.)

I was hitting on you.

(His heart skips a beat.)

My goodness!

My gosh.

He said he was hitting on him.

Shall we evaluate now?

- I... - That's what I'm talking about.

I think the same.

- It's because we're vocalists. - I get that he can hit the notes.

- Because we're vocalists. - I think the same.

I have the same idea.

(Representative Lee is more careful because it's his first evaluation.)

DSP Media.

We'll announce the individual grades.

A.

There might be an A.

Dong Pyo must get an A.

- There might be an A. - You think so?

(Will he get an A as the other trainees expect?)

We'll announce the individual grades of Source Music.

Kim Hyun Bin, Tsai Chia Hao, and Yoon Min Gook.

(The grade evaluation results on the Source Music trainees)

D.

(Kim Hyun Bin, Tsai Chia Hao, Yoon Min Gook: D)

Here's what I think.

I can tell...

that you practiced a lot of your dancing.

But it's important to divide your strength in performances.

You focused only on dancing that you sang out of tune.

I'd like you to practice more on dividing strength.

I get that you're nervous, but try to smile a little.

That's going to bring you luck. Have a smile on your face.

We'll announce the individual grades of DSP Media.

Grade A.

We need to get an A for certain.

Will they get Grade A?

A.

There is no one.

Grade B.

Trainee Son Dong Pyo.

Thank you.

(Son Dong Pyo and Lee Hwan: B, Lee Jun Hyuk: C)

They did a good job. I thought they'd get an A.

Thank you.

I feel regretful,

and I'll keep trying hard...

to get an A no matter what.

So it's really hard to get an A.

Who's going to get an A?

Maybe no one.

It's tough to get an A.

Whose turn is it this time?

Next trainees, please come in.

- It's Starship. - They're good.

- They might do well. - I think so too.

Starship.

- Let's go, let's go. - Let's go, let's go.

- Let's go, let's go. - Let's go, let's go.

- Let's go, let's go. - Let's go, let's go.

- Why do they do this all the time? - Let's go, let's go.

Starship did this chant last season too.

- I guess it's their tradition. - 2, 3.

(In "Produce 48",)

(Starship trainees made the same chant.)

- This is it. - That's the feeling.

They look young.

They look boyish.

- I know. - How handsome.

Song Hyung Jun.

How old is he?

He's a baby.

He's cute.

His desired position is cuteness.

(Desired position: Cuteness)

There are so many handsome people here.

They're all so handsome.

- They're handsome. - They are.

What about me?

- You're cute. - You're cute.

I want to hear that I'm handsome.

No, you're cute.

I think Hyung Jun is the cutest.

He's from Tongyeong.

His dialect is so cute.

So we tease him quite often.

Look at Hyung Jun. He can't pronounce it.

He can't pronounce bathroom.

- Bathroom. - Bathroom.

- Bathroom. - Bathroom.

Bathroom.

- He can't do it. - Bathroom.

(They continue to tease Hyung Jun even when they are on standby.)

I'll take that. You take this.

Hello, I'm Ham Won Jin.

Hello, I'm Song Hyung Jun.

Don't imitate me.

Won Jin thinks I'm cute because of my dialect.

I am the closest with him.

You're cute.

(He expresses his affection often.)

(These two trainees display their close friendship.)

I think Hyung Jun and I have good chemistry.

Together with Won Jin...

And with Hyung Jun, I want to...

catch the chance...

and make our debut together through Producer X 101.

Starship always did well.

Major artists belonging to this company are...

K.Will, Soyou...

I'm in this company too.

It's called King Kong by Starship, and it's Starship for actors.

Stop staring at me, you guys.

I think you are asking for Soyou's help with your eyes.

Many viewers think that...

if you belong to the same company you know each other well.

But I'm seeing them for the first time.

So I have absolutely no personal feelings.

Please don't misunderstand me.

- I ask for your fair judgment. - Yes.

Actually, Starship gained good results...

in every season of the Produce series.

(Starship trainees secured high rankings in every season.)

(In "Produce 48", their trainee won first place.)

(Starship is an agency for idols active in all seasons.)

I will be watching you.

Shall we look at your performance?

- Yes. - Yes.

They must feel pressured because Soyou is here.

Since they belong to the same agency.

They have to be good for Starship.

I think they will do well.

Yes.

("Oh Little Girl" by Slate)

He is the center, but why is his expression like that?

Do you think he is so rigid because he is nervous?

Or is he always like that?

(Sighing)

You know...

I have no idea what you guys did.

You made a lot of mistakes.

The atmosphere broke when you made mistakes at the start.

It looked as if you guys were fooling around.

(Soyou from the same agency, criticizes them harshly.)

What will they do?

They are in big trouble.

Hyung Jun...

Have you prepared a dance?

I saw him, and he is a good dancer.

There is not one who is particularly good.

But that boy, Hyung Jun, has a good expression...

and he is a good dancer.

So I would like to see you dance.

What do you think?

How...

How should I... Which song should I dance to?

You have to talk properly.

Which song should I dance to?

What do you want to do?

I...

If you don't have the confidence, you don't have to do it.

- Hyung Jun. - Yes.

You didn't come here to look baffled and fool around.

- Yes. - Okay.

We are giving you a chance.

The dance...

Let's pass over the dance. We got it.

Thank you.

Min Hee, can we take a look at the dance you prepared?

I am not that skilled in dancing yet.

Okay.

- I get it. - Okay.

They have no drive.

I know.

The trainers are trying to give them chances,

but they are not taking them.

It's a pity.

Oh, dear.

- You've been practicing for long. - Yes.

To say you were nervous can't be an excuse.

- Right. - You need to change your attitudes.

- You didn't seem serious. - Yes.

Why can't I see any drive in you guys?

I felt my energy running out while watching you.

It's not enough even when you are dying to perform here.

- Yes. - Yes.

Do you feel intimidated?

We are here to help you.

If you are intimidated by us, how can you go on stage later?

That's right.

What she is saying is important.

We need to talk among ourselves.

This is discouraging.

They have no drive.

What do we do?

Honestly, I want to send the whole team home.

- I don't think they're an X grade. - Me too.

Grade D or C?

- But really... - There was nothing.

- Yes. They weren't dancing. - They were only using falsetto.

Should we send them all home?

I'll announce the individual grades for Starship Entertainment.

I think many of them will fail.

Grade A...

(Grade A)

None.

Grade B...

None.

Their standards are really high.

Grade C...

None.

Starship is...

This is really unexpected.

Grade D...

(Grade D)

Trainee Ham Won Jin.

Trainee Moon Hyun Bin. And...

I was scared that one of us would get Grade X.

(The trainee who receives Grade X, cannot enter the training center.)

And...

there's no more.

No more.

Really?

The rest of you have received Grade X.

Thank you.

(They are the first trainees to receive the lowest grade.)

You must feel bad and sad...

about the grades you just received.

But I hope you will continue to make the challenge.

Thank you.

I hope to meet you at a better place...

in happier circumstances.

- Yes, thank you. - Thank you.

- We will finish the session. - That gets Grade X?

That gets Grade X?

I thought they wouldn't receive Grade X.

I thought that wouldn't be Grade X too.

- It's a real pity. - I think they were overcome.

I couldn't grade their performance at all.

They have to leave now?

Is this the end for them?

I think so.

I think it's so cruel to send them home with Grade X.

This is a real battlefield.

We planned to train together.

But I received Grade X.

I felt bad for letting the other guys down.

He will really have a hard time about this.

I think I didn't do my part for those...

who got Grade X.

I feel like I've failed to lead them.

The tears are pouring out,

because I feel sorry for them.

What happens when they get Grade X?

What does X mean? Does that mean it's over?

Will they be dropped out?

I guess you really have to go home when you get Grade X.

- I think it's a fail. - I know.

I'm scared.

I can't do this.

Next trainee, please come in.

Maroo Entertainment.

It's Maroo Entertainment.

- You can do it! - Go for it!

If I had a son, he will be in their age.

I can tell they are young.

2, 3.

- Hello, we are from Maroo. - Hello, we are from Maroo.

I'm 17 years old, Lee Woo Jin.

I'm 17 years old, Lee Tae Seung.

I'm 16 years old, Lee Jin Woo.

(They are so cute.)

They've been trained only for a short period of time.

(These newbies' average training period is only 6 months.)

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm Kwon Hee Jun and I'm a three-month newbie trainee...

from Cre.ker Entertainment.

I'm Trainee Park Sion from Plasma Entertainment.

- Your training period is 5 months? - Yes.

He is a newbie.

(How good will these newbies be?)

("Lie" by BTS)

[VIU Ver] Mnet E01 'Produce X 101' "Introduction 101" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What did you think of his dance?

I can't judge.

You didn't like his singing?

He didn't sing.

(Trainee Kwon Hee Jun didn't sing.)

Trainee Kwon Hee Jun from Cre.ker Entertainment.

Your grade is X.

("MIC Drop" by BTS)

He's good.

- He got trained for five months. - For real?

But I hope it's not the end of him.

I didn't like it.

That was slow.

I didn't like how you kept the time nor how you delivered the lyrics.

Trainee Park Sion from Plasma Entertainment.

Your grade is X.

(Park Sion: X)

- Shall we see your stage? - Yes.

- Yes. - Yes.

Do your best.

I hope they have good energy.

("Replay" by SHINee)

It's the basic step.

That is the result of much practice.

They have nothing.

They are too rigid.

They are too stiff.

(Trainees of Maroo Entertainment showed a rather tepid performance.)

Since I'm not a singer,

I don't know much about singing and dancing like the trainers do.

But isn't this song...

all about basic steps and choreography?

(Surprised)

Yes, you are right.

Dong Wook is well aware of it.

That's because he is the goblin. I mean he is the Grim Reaper.

(Representative Lee was the former Grim Reaper.)

(Although he's not a singer, he has very sharp eyes.)

Let's stop him.

- Doesn't he open his mouth narrow? - Yes.

I gave him Grade A.

- Grade A? - Yes.

Don't you think that's off the standard?

You shouldn't give him A just by his talent.

You are harsh.

I'm sorry. I guess I have high standards.

It seemed like you didn't sing most of the time.

Your dance is yet to be known.

I want you to focus on yourself while performing...

and sink into it.

I think you need something that can...

attract people's attention.

- Dong Wook is doing a great job. - I know. He is really good.

I will announce the individual grades...

of Maroo Entertainment.

- Trainee Lee Woo Jin... - Yes.

and Trainee Lee Tae Jin...

are graded X.

- Okay. - Okay.

I think you've chosen a song that requires perfection.

I hope you can think over the importance...

of selecting the right music.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(Lee Jin Woo: C, Lee Woo Jin, and Lee Tae Seung: X)

But how come their agency didn't help them...

selecting the music?

- They want to look cool... - Yes?

and do the perfect dance on the stage.

So the only choices they have are BTS, Wanna One, and EXO.

These are their only choices.

So when Japanese contestants appeared last season,

they showed many unique stages.

I can imagine.

I think the selection of music is very important.

You're right. It's very important.

We will continue with the grade evaluation.

Next trainee, please come in.

He is handsome.

- You're right. - He is too good-looking.

He is handsome.

(A handsome trainee has captured everyone's attention.)

- He's handsome. - Yes, he is.

- Look at his face. - He's so good-looking.

I like him.

Smile, that's it. I like his smile.

Hello. I'm from Oui Entertainment.

I'm the newbie trainee, Kim Yo Han.

A newbie.

It says that you won first place in taekwondo twice...

in the National Junior Sports Festival.

That's right.

Twice?

I was a taekwondo athlete for 13 years.

(Kim Yo Han won twice in taekwondo.)

Then you must've been...

a promising taekwondo athlete.

Why did you want to become an idol all of a sudden?

That's...

My father was a taekwondo master ever since I was little.

I followed him to the gym...

since I was 3 to 4 years old.

And that naturally led me to become...

a taekwondo athlete.

("Proud Son Kim Yo Han Made His Father's Dream Come True")

I dreamed about becoming an idol deep inside my heart.

But I couldn't bring it up.

It was no use telling my dad.

It was obvious that he would've said,

"What idol? Just do your best in taekwondo".

I had no choice but to hide my dream.

Hello, I'm from Oui Entertainment.

I'm a newbie trainee of one week, Kim Yo Han.

I'm a 20-day newbie trainee of Oui Entertainment,

Kim Yo Han.

(Feeling nervous)

You look nervous by this atmosphere.

I don't... I don't get nervous.

After I legally became an adult,

I thought I'm old enough to decide my own future.

And I didn't want to delay this chance.

Did you completely quit taekwondo?

Yes.

I did enter a university as a scholarship student.

But I think I should do what I want to do.

You're right about that.

- He's cool. - He's awesome.

He's amazing.

I sense your firm determination.

- Shall we see your performance? - Yes.

(Trainee Kim Yo Han is walking towards the end of the stage.)

- What is he doing? - I've never seen that start.

Will he do the taekwondo kick?

- That's right. Taekwondo... - Because he did taekwondo.

I think he's going to cross the stage with the fly kick.

Three months? I can already picture his stage.

I have a bad feeling about this stage.

I don't expect much from him.

I've been trained only for three months,

I don't dance well,

nor have an especial talent in singing or rapping.

So I prepared a secret weapon.

(Surprised)

For Produce X 101,

I've trained myself from rock bottom.

("Come Back to Me" by Se7en)

- What is this? - What is this?

(Shocked)

- What is this? - My goodness.

(The trainees can't hide their surprised look from their faces.)

(The trainers are delighted by the nostalgic item.)

- They're Heelys. - They're Heelys.

(Se7en brought these shoes into fashion in 2002.)

- I haven't seen that for ages. - I know.

It must be hard to buy those these days.

- They're rare items. - They're rare items.

- I like him. - Me too.

I'll be waiting for you

I'll be waiting for you

(Surprised)

That was witty.

His idea was great.

Your selection of music was great.

- Your selection of music was great. - Thank you.

- Good job. - I love him.

Your selection of music was just perfect.

I have nothing more to add.

You know exactly what we like.

- Thank you. - However...

(However...)

(The Grim Reaper is back.)

You danced something that can be only danced in those shoes.

- Yes. - Could you take off your shoes...

and show other dance moves for us?

Well.

- My trainee days are quite short. - You're quite new.

- I've learned only one dance. - Really?

I'll take off my shoes.

I have a personal question.

(He's putting his shoes away.)

(His shoe wheels are quite useful in many ways.)

Song number 99.

(How well can Yo Han dance?)

It's like a kick.

This is a basic dance move.

That's what he learned.

(Yo Han shows the basic dance moves that he learned.)

There's a story to his dance moves.

He knows how to use his charm.

I would have done a kick one more time by now.

(The former taekwondo athlete shows his talents.)

That was great!

- Goodness. That was awesome. - Gosh.

- That was cool. - Cool.

He's charming.

I was surprised to see that there was an order to his dance moves.

But he's just a beginner.

It felt like he was doing taekwondo, but he really did it well.

What grade do you think he will get?

I don't know.

Maybe Grade C.

I think he'll get Grade B.

(What's the result of Yo Han's grade evaluation?)

I think we have a consensus on this.

That's right. That is it.

We all think he should get Grade B.

- Yes. - That's right.

I'll announce Oui Entertainment's individual grade.

Is it Grade A?

(No.)

Trainee Kim Yo Han.

Yes.

Your grade is A.

(Kim Yo Han: A)

Your grade is A.

Grade A?

What's the standard of Grade A?

(What's the standard of Grade A?)

I thought he would get...

either Grade B or C.

But he got Grade A.

So I wasn't sure about the criterion.

- What will you give him? - A or B.

I think he deserves to get Grade A.

But he's not that talented yet.

He can work on it.

He can get Grade A if you think about what he can do.

- Then? - Grade B?

- Grade A. - Grade A?

- Let me announce it. - Okay.

You have potential.

I don't know if it's the taekwondo, but your body moves lightly.

Thank you.

But this is just the beginning.

You have to feel responsible for getting Grade A.

(You are responsible for that grade.)

I wish you can maintain your grade.

- I can do it. - Okay.

Thank you. Thank you.

(Running)

He picked up his shoes.

(Running)

I got Grade A.

Isn't it amazing?

I can't believe it.

I know for sure that...

my grade wasn't given because of my talent.

It's like they're telling me to work harder.

That's how I'm taking this.

I'll work hard as their will.

I'll keep my grade.

Getting scholarships as a taekwondo athlete in Korea...

means that he's an elite.

He's very prospective.

He gave up on all that to be here.

He's so firm on this that he gave up on taekwondo.

I'm worried about his dancing. But he'll figure it out.

He's flexible.

Next trainee, please come in.

What?

(Park Sun Ho: Born in 1993, trainee for 10 years 6 months)

Goodness. It's Sun Ho.

I can't cry.

What do you mean?

I know how much he has been through.

He and I used to be the first Starship trainees together.

He started before me.

Really?

When he said he was joining this show, I told him...

"Why would you join this show when you're acting well these days?"

He said he was so firm about...

joining this show this time no matter what.

I wasn't planning to be here in the beginning.

But he's here.

(Sun Ho is here.)

(Sighing)

Next trainee, please come in.

Hello. I'm Park Sun Ho from SidusHQ.

I think I've seen him from somewhere.

Isn't he an actor?

He's an actor.

I'm an actor.

I just started my career as an actor.

Is it appendicitis?

("Park Sun Ho Gets Selected As Main Cast")

("Korea-Japan Drama Casts Park Sun Ho As Main Actor")

You've been playing main roles...

in the drama series.

Yes, I was lucky.

You must be talented. It can't just happen because of luck.

How can you play main roles just because you're lucky?

But...

(But...)

Why do you want to become an idol singer now?

I started my career in this field...

as I dreamed of becoming an idol singer since I was a kid.

He was a trainee who joined...

Starship before me.

- Goodness. - Before her?

He was there before her.

When I was 16 in 2008,

I joined Starship Entertainment as a trainee.

(Sun Ho has been a trainee at Starship for 6 years.)

I thought I was doing okay...

to make my dream come true.

I didn't make it to my debut...

when I tried so hard until the end.

("Park Sun Ho Has Been A Trainee At Starship For 6 Years")

("Park Sun Ho's Debut Founders")

I failed to debut for two times.

I started to think why I keep failing to debut.

I thought a lot about this.

"I want to become an idol singer. It's my dream."

"But I'm the only one who wants myself as an idol singer."

"I'm being stubborn."

I started my career as an actor from scratch.

But I also wanted to become an idol singer while I acted...

when I watched music shows...

or when I attend their concerts. I watch them performing...

and I think, "I could have become one of them."

I really wanted to sing and dance...

on stage.

I've been...

working as an actor.

But now I'm here.

I'm sure some people don't think it's a good idea.

But I dreamed to become...

an idol singer since I was young.

I want to take this...

as my last opportunity to fulfill my dream as an idol singer.

I'll do my best. Thank you.

I'm looking forward to your performance.

Please show your performance.

Let's go!

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

I can't watch this. He and I used to be close.

Jae Seung was my trainer...

when I was a trainee at Starship.

So there are two people I know.

That's why I got really nervous.

("Youth" by Troye Sivan)

It's neat.

I can tell he practiced really hard.

Are you feeling emotional?

Yes. It's really...

Really...

I was there when he first got into Starship Entertainment.

He had to see everyone else made the debut.

I couldn't understand him coming on this show...

after being successful as an actor.

It's like an unfulfilled dream of his.

He still wants to do it.

Do you have any K-pop songs prepared?

- I do. - Let's hear the chorus.

Good luck!

He chose the right song.

I felt his sincerity.

You're a born ballad singer.

Your vocal cords were made to sing ballads.

Thank you. Please wait.

Yes.

You all agree?

I do.

I shouldn't evaluate this time.

Sun Ho, I think you should smile more.

He should be nervous.

He's waited for 10 years and 6 months.

I'll announce the individual grade for...

Park Sun Ho from SidusHQ.

Trainee Park Sun Ho.

I hope he gets a good grade.

You've got a B.

(Park Sun Ho: B)

Thank you.

Thank you.

I think he's the most fitted trainee to our show.

Even though he played leading roles in dramas,

he had to come back to do what he wants.

I'll never give up. I'll try my best.

That's awesome.

You're awesome!

He's awesome.

It still lingers in my mind.

It's interesting.

- I wish him luck. - Yes.

I once gave up this dream of being an idol,

and I have one more chance to go for it.

It's going to be a precious opportunity for me.

I'm really glad...

and I feel grateful for this.

Since when I was little,

my only goal was...

to be an idol.

Simply put, it's my dream.

It's my dream.

- My dream is... - My dream is...

My dream is...

to be an idol...

that makes this country proud,

and loved by many people.

I want to be a global idol.

It's been my dream my entire life.

You feel happy to keep doing something that you love.

I want to be on the stage, and perform in front of the people.

But I got anxious as time passed by.

I'm mostly worried whether I could make it or not.

I've always been saying,

"I just can't do this."

I wanted to give up so many times,

but I didn't want to.

Because...

this is my only dream.

If I didn't want to do this, I would've given up already.

I just have to see for myself what's at the end.

We're all desperate...

about this dream.

I want to be an idol.

(There were moments I wanted to give up.)

(But I was lucky enough to not give up.)

(By BTS at UN)

He was on TV.

This is hard.

He was on "Superstar K".

Are you here just to be known?

He's from "Sky Castle"!

You have to put your faith in me.

Next trainee, please come in.

- Oh, my gosh. - Oh, my gosh.

(Trainee Kim Dong Bin from MLD Entertainment)

He was on Season Two.

He was on Season 2 of Produce 101.

He looks really nervous.

Trainee Kim Dong Bin!

It's been a while.

Yes.

(He came back after 2 years.)

How have you been?

I've been doing fine.

I'm looking forward to it.

Please show us a good performance.

Can I ask you a favor?

Can you hide your hands?

(He's flustered.)

Sure.

(He hides his hands.)

What does he mean?

In Season Two, Jae Seung...

(At the level test of Produce 101 Season 2)

was trying to take out his earphone.

Dong Bin thought it was a sign to stop,

so he stopped.

No, I was just trying to take my earphone out.

(Dong Bin showed tears due to an unexpected incident.)

You watched it all?

I did.

I feel like...

I was quite bad at Season Two.

So I've been regretting it, and I wanted to try again.

I'm worried people might think, "He's here again?"

"He's too bad, why would he come here?"

"How much could he have improved in a short period of time?"

That is what I'm mostly worried about.

I'm also worried I might make a mistake again.

I can do this.

I can do this. I can do this.

"I have to show them this time."

"I have to get their approval. I have to show them..."

"that I'm a different person than I was last time."

These thoughts were eating me up from the inside.

Please.

Please don't give me an X.

You've got an F in Produce 101 Season 2.

Yes.

Let's see what you've prepared.

It's going to be dramatic...

if he's gotten much better.

I remember him as...

a trainee who wasn't that good.

He seemed nervous,

and to be having cold feet.

It's the same song.

He's doing the same song again.

It's a gamble...

to do the same song over again.

("Chewing Gum" by NCT DREAM, "Perfect Man" by SHINHWA)

He's good.

He got much better.

He's well-prepared.

I can tell he practiced a lot.

He's doing much better.

He's so cute.

He's so cute.

He succeeded.

(Amazed)

He must've practiced a lot.

He's changed a lot in the past two years.

(Impressed)

I'm impressed.

He gave an overwhelming performance.

Back then, he seemed like such a rookie.

But this time around, he looked very experienced.

Dong Bin, this time,

you did well.

You performed "Chewing Gum" once again.

It seemed like you put meaning into this song.

The lyrics talk about overcoming hardships.

I got goosebumps.

Two years ago, I got to watch him from a very close distance.

The old Dong Bin that we knew was a very weak individual.

But now, he looks determined to follow his dreams.

It makes me happy.

Thank you.

- I think he could get Grade A. - You're right.

I bet...

- he'll get Grade A. - He's improved so much,

so he could get Grade A.

- We should give him this. - I know.

- We saw his potential. - Right.

I think we should give him this.

Okay.

We will announce your grade.

Trainee Kim Dong Bin from MLD Entertainment.

I received Grade F in Season Two,

but through this revamped performance,

I'd like to receive Grade A.

Your grade is Grade B.

(Kim Dong Bin: B)

Because it was visible that he had improved,

I thought he'd get Grade A.

But he received Grade B.

Thank you.

I'm so thankful to see that you have improved greatly.

I don't know why I am, but I am grateful for that.

I realized that all my hard work didn't go to waste.

I feel like I have turned over a new leaf.

It was a turning point.

I guess such a big change is possible.

I'm glad I'm on this show.

Next trainee, please come in.

He's so tall.

He's walking like a model.

Was he a model?

Hello.

I'm Kwon Tae Eun from A.CONIC.

(Smiling)

(He has a special charm of making people laugh.)

Look at him smile.

He's cute.

His eyes are also smiling.

He looks happy.

I drew my face on the Wall of Dreams.

I wrote, "Spread Kwon Tae Eun Syndrome around the world."

Kwon Tae Eun Syndrome was my nickname...

because I'm always smiling.

Why do you keep smiling?

My mother used to smile a lot when I was little.

And it affected me.

I naturally smile all the time.

This is my usual facial expression.

Show us your charming pose!

(Smiling)

I hope everyone smiles and becomes happy...

by looking at me.

That's my goal.

(Smiling)

(He's the first one to be infected with Kwon Tae Eun Syndrome.)

(Beware of the Kwon Tae Eun Syndrome.)

All right, show us your performance.

He sat down.

(He starts with an unusual pose.)

Is it The Little Mermaid?

- It's "Siren". - Is it?

("Siren" by SUNMI)

Oh, my gosh.

Why is he looking at me?

Thank you.

He's not embarrassed by it.

He seems confident.

He's attractive.

I thought no one would have expected me to do...

"Siren" by SUNMI.

I hoped everyone would enjoy it.

I hope they laughed, at least.

(They all laughed as he wished.)

(However, Trainer Lee Seok Hoon does not seem happy.)

(He picks up the microphone to evaluate.)

It's not going to be any good.

I didn't enjoy it one bit.

I felt bad, to be honest.

(He was disappointed with the unexpected performance.)

If you practiced, studied,

and expressed this song well,

you would have never done a performance like that.

That's what I thought.

Yes.

I think he's getting Grade X.

I'll announce the grade.

Trainee Kwon Tae Eun from A.CONIC,

you've got Grade X.

He was cute when he smiled.

(Spread Kwon Tae Eun Syndrome around the world!)

What do you do...

after getting Grade X?

Why am I not feeling so excited?

I'm not excited.

- Right? - It's weird.

Why is it?

I feel down.

- Right? - Yes.

I'm almost bored.

Next trainees, please come in.

- Brand New Music. - Brand New Music?

It's Brand New Music.

- It's Brand New Music. - I can't wait.

Brand New Music.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Brand New Music!

People are already showing their approvals.

They look confident.

I'm looking forward to them.

It's four people just like last time.

- Brand New Music. - Brand New Music.

- Brand New Music. - I'm looking forward to them.

Two of them made the debut in Season Two.

Park Woo Jin and Lee Dae Hwi...

got into Wanna One.

Kim Dong Hyun and Lim Young Min...

made the debut as MXM.

I'm looking forward to the performances...

they have to show this time.

(What kind of performance will they show?)

2, 3. Brand New!

Hello, we're trainees from Brand New Music!

- Lee Eun Sang. - Hong Sung Jun.

- Kim Si Hoon. - Yoon Jung Hwan.

- Wish us luck! - Wish us luck!

They're passionate.

I like the attitude.

(Inhaling)

(Exhaling)

(Inhaling)

(Exhaling)

Whose breathing is it?

Who is it?

I think it's me.

(His sound of breathing continues.)

Can you try breathing a bit slower?

We can all hear it.

It's cute.

Can we show them on the screen?

(They're being mesmerized.)

- That is interesting. - They look good on screen.

They look good on screen.

Check out Eun Sang.

- Eun Sang. - I see.

Eun Sang looks great on screen.

(Let's see.)

He's handsome.

He's handsome.

He's really handsome.

I want to look like him.

How can I learn his face?

You can't.

Do I have to be born again?

You guys are performing your own song?

- Yes. - Yes.

The famous Brand New Music.

I think their trainees tend to perform their own song.

Who made it?

Jung Hwan and I composed...

the basic frame.

Then we gathered all our opinions,

and completed the song.

It wasn't one person, you all participated?

You could say we all participated.

I'm looking forward to it.

Is it because they're boys? I'm seeing a lot of their own songs.

What song have you prepared?

We've prepared our own song.

It's your own song.

Myung Hoon wrote the lyrics, music, and arranged it?

Yes, I did.

He wrote the song.

That's amazing.

(Trainees from Yue Hwa and AAP.Y prepared their own songs.)

I think they're going to be good.

("BLOOM" by AAP.Y)

They're good.

They're good.

It was awesome.

(Let's hear Yue Hua's own song.)

("DREAM" by Yue Hwa)

I remember Brand New Music from our previous...

"Produce 101".

They were also very good.

- Right. - Yes.

They also performed their own song.

I still remember that song.

Welcome to my Hollywood

(Brand New Music was commented favorably with their own song.)

The trainees got good grades with the song they wrote...

in previous seasons.

I'm sure they'll look forward to seeing...

what we've prepared this time.

Like Season Two, we've prepared a song we wrote.

It'll be a lie if I say I'm not burdened.

I'm worried if I could do well.

You guys are better than us.

- Better than "Hollywood". - Right.

I could tell you guys were enjoying the performance...

and that you practiced a lot.

It was great. You looked like a team.

I hope all of you get Grade A...

and show everyone...

that Brand New Music is still alive.

I think you will.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I'd like to hear that we're better than Season Two.

Taking after the spirits of our four seniors,

we'll try to reach higher and make it to the final members.

Shouldn't we do better...

than our seniors?

Can I have some water?

(He's thirsty.)

Gosh, guys. I'm so nervous.

(Doing push-ups)

Let's do it together.

(The other trainees follow him down.)

1, 2. 1, 2.

(Is it Brand New Music's way to relieve nervousness?)

- One... - I'm tired.

Bring up the tension.

Smile a lot.

Eun Sang, don't forget to move big when you dance.

Don't get exhausted during the second verse.

- All right. - Gosh, guys.

We can do a good job. Are you not nervous?

You aren't, are you? We can do a good job.

We can do this.

(Gulping)

(What will be their performance like?)

- Shall we start? - Let's start.

Ready.

Let's be powerful.

Think of the lyrics.

- Smile, everyone. - Naturally, as we practiced.

- 1, 2, 3. Brand New, A! - Brand New, A!

Right, I wanted to feel this energy.

Their energy is different to begin with.

They're from Brand New Music after all.

I can't wait.

It feels like they'll do well.

I bet they'll be amazing.

- I can't wait to hear their song. - This is so exciting.

Woo Jin and Dae Hwi were unbelievable.

I'm getting excited.

If we fail to do a good job,

we'll be compared with Season Two.

I'm worried people might be disappointed.

("Go Get Her" by Brand New Music)

- They're good. - They're really good.

He's handsome.

Nice.

Let's get it.

Brand New Music is never disappointing.

They're good.

They're amazing.

It's crazy.

I could tell that they practiced so much...

because all four of them were in sync that I got confused...

- which one was singing later on. - Right.

(The Brand New Music trainees were all in sync.)

Who's singing?

I loved their hard working spirit.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

It's the most refreshing high note I've heard today.

I'm getting the energy. Thanks.

Thank you.

Brand New Music isn't disappointing this year either.

- I'm grateful. Brand New. - Brand New.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - But...

(But...)

Let us discuss a little.

Good job, guys. Good job.

- Sorry I couldn't do better. - Good job.

It's fine.

(It's okay.)

What's there to discuss?

- They're all Grade As for certain. - I know.

They might get all Grade As.

Brand New Music, I'll announce your individual grades.

Grade A...

- They might get all Grade As. - Grade A...

- No way. - It'll be crazy if they do.

Trainee Yoon Jung Hwan.

And...

(And...)

Trainee Lee Eun Sang.

Thank you.

Maybe all of them are getting an A.

And...

(And...)

that's all for Grade A.

What?

That's it?

Grade B. Trainees Hong Sung Jun and Kim Si Hoon.

Thank you.

They've got 2 Grade As and Bs.

Just like Season Two.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

Go for it.

I thought all of them will get Grade A.

- Me too. - What a bummer.

(Yoon Jung Hwan and Lee Eun Sang: A, Kim Si Hoon and Hong Sung Jun: B)

I like their spirit.

I like it when I see things like this.

- They brought up energy. - Right, it's nice.

Good job. Great job, guys.

I'm happier than getting Grade A myself.

I felt so proud...

and thought our hard work paid off.

- 2, 3. Brand New, A! - Brand New, A!

Next trainees, please come in.

- MBK. - MBK?

- Hello. - Hello, we're from MBK.

- I'm Lee Han Gyul. - I'm Kim Young Sang.

I'm Nam Do Hyun.

I remember watching his video.

(A few days before the first shoot)

(For high-quality training,)

(the trainers watched videos of the trainees.)

(This trainee captured their attention.)

(Drawing attention)

X 101!

- He's cute. - He's so good.

I thought he was witty...

when he expressed X and 101 like this.

(Witty)

He thought of these gestures himself.

How old is he?

He's 16 in Korean age.

He's 16? Gosh, he's so good.

(Do Hyun made a strong impression despite his young age.)

Ever since I started playing the piano in elementary school,

I found it fun to play it as I wanted...

instead of following what I learned.

I wrote music from then on.

(Do Hyun played the song he wrote at the age of 10.)

I came across MIDI when I was in sixth grade.

I wrote a lot of songs regardless of genre.

There was this time when I wrote five songs in a week.

I wrote countless songs.

He's tall. I thought he was small.

- Why is he so tall? - I know.

I thought he was small as a baby.

(He's as tall as the other two trainees from the same agency.)

Do you remember that? "Let's save MBK."

Yes, I saw it.

(The 101 trainees' dreams will be written here on the Wall of Dreams.)

"This is the beginning."

"Write your dream future."

Wait a second. I should be careful.

(After thinking carefully, he wrote...)

(World Conquest, Keum Dong Hyun)

Mountains? No.

(The Woollim trainees write down their dreams.)

(Woollim Entertainment)

Why would you write our names in red?

(They're the age to believe in superstition.)

All of us might...

(Surprised)

This is not good.

It's more like pink.

(Let's show off our charms without any regrets.)

(The wall is filled with the 101 trainees' wishes.)

(Then the trainers enter the room to read their wishes.)

He drew a stage.

- Isn't it Thai? - It's Thai.

(At that time, Seok Hoon finds something.)

"Let's save MBK."

"Let's save MBK."

(Let's save MBK.)

The famous group, T-ARA,

was once in our agency.

Now that they're gone,

the agency is struggling.

And we're here to save it.

Goodness.

(The other trainees applaud them to cheer them on.)

They're very affectionate towards their agency.

It's hard to encounter people like them these days.

That's impressive. I believe you won't disappoint us.

- Sure. - Yes.

I wish they save their agency.

(The MBK trainees have joined the show to save their agency.)

(How good will they be?)

(Smiling brightly)

I love this kind of stuff.

Nice.

("Roly-Poly" by T-ARA and "Boomerang" by Wanna One)

My gosh.

(They're immersed in dancing.)

They've succeeded in bringing up the vibe first.

(Amazed)

(The choreography is powerful unlike the previous one.)

They grabbed it.

(He reenacts.)

Did you throw the boomerang and catch it in the end?

- Yes. - Yes.

Here's what surprised me.

It says Do Hyun has trained for five months,

but he was so natural...

in taking care of the situation when his in-ear monitor...

came unstuck.

(His in-ear monitor came off during the performance.)

(Do Hyun didn't get flustered and continued with the performance.)

(He calmly took care of it as he danced.)

Let's hear you rap, Do Hyun.

Okay, here I go.

(He doesn't get flustered at the sudden request and starts rapping.)

(I'm the hero of Produce X 101)

(Your one pick is me)

(He goes back to being calm.)

Thank you.

He's good.

That was cool.

I love his voice.

How long have you practiced rapping?

Around three months.

- Three months? - Yes.

He's become this good after practicing three months?

What about dancing?

Around two months.

(Surprised)

His dancing wasn't so great.

No, it's because his in-ear pack came off.

He's this good at that age of his. It means he's a total genius.

- A total genius? - I've never seen anyone like him.

His eyes are so lively.

They're bright.

I think he's good.

He might be the one to save MBK.

Right.

I'll announce the individual grades for MBK.

(What's the result...)

(of the grade evaluation on MBK?)

What grade did you get?

- I got Grade D. - D?

- I got Grade C. - C?

(What about Do Hyun?)

I got Grade A.

Grade A.

Trainee Nam Do Hyun.

Thank you.

Do Hyun is the youngest trainee here.

He's 14 years old. We've evaluated that...

everything in general was very nice compared to his time of training.

Thus, he's an A.

Thank you.

First off, I'm so happy.

I feel somewhat apologetic...

to get a higher grade than my senior trainees.

- We'll go up. Don't worry. - It's a bit...

No matter how much I think about it...

You just have to do a good job. It's fine.

He might become as successful as Kang Daniel.

His eyes are alive,

- and he's talented for his age. - Right.

(Shouting)

Let's go!

I'm a bit nervous.

This part here beats faster.

(Racing)

(Trainees relieve their nervousness through various ways...)

(before their performances.)

1, 2, 1...

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

(For a long time)

For a long time

- He's really good at singing. - So sweet.

(Warming up)

Backstage, quiet down.

- They want us to quiet down. - Be quiet.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Next trainees, please come in.

It's the Music Works.

- Song Yu Vin. - I'm getting excited.

The Music Works.

Song Yu Vin.

He might get an A.

He's amazing at singing.

- 2, 3. Hello. - Hello.

- We're the Music Works trainees. - We're the Music Works trainees.

- I'm Vin. - I'm Heon.

- It's good to see you. - It's good to see you.

I was a fan of him when he came out in "Superstar K".

I'm Song Yu Vin from Daegu. I'm a freshman in Namsan High.

When I was 17, I participated in...

the show called "Superstar K".

I was lucky to become 1 of the top 5 contestants.

The last dropout is...

(Yu Vin proved his singing ability through the show.)

I'll visit you with better sides.

(3 years later, he debuted as a member of Myteen.)

("Song Yu Vin Finally Makes His Debut")

("Song Yu Vin Debuts as a Member of Myteen")

("Song Yu Vin of Myteen Shows off His Idol Charisma")

It's true that we had high hopes...

when we first made our debut.

But in reality,

it wasn't easy.

We were getting less and less work,

and we didn't have many chances to perform on stage either.

"Others are on TV, going successful."

"What are you doing?"

That's most depressing.

I mean, I'm trying really hard.

Feeling helpless.

That scared me the most.

(During the 2nd meeting)

What I want to do is sing,

and I thought I shouldn't give up like this,

so I decided to join this show as my last chance.

I want to sing confidently...

in front of people.

It's an A or nothing for us.

Okay.

- A! - A!

(Calling for an A)

- What's your blood type? - It's blood type A.

I wrote triple A.

I'd like an A.

I'm a fan of him.

I even know his title track.

Will he be good at dancing?

He might get an A if he does a good job dancing.

- Go for it. - They might do very well.

I'm doing this because I want to,

and I don't think it's cool to give up on my dream.

I'll never give up.

I can't wait.

("Spring Day" by BTS)

They're good.

His voice isn't shaky when he's dancing like that.

Is it the end already?

("O.G" by TroyBoi)

They're good.

They're good at dancing.

They might get an A.

They're cool.

It totally woke me up.

They're very good.

- I'm expecting an A. - All As.

They did a great job, to be honest.

They're crazy.

I expected a lot from The Music Works.

And I'm grateful that you guys met my high expectations.

Thank you.

Their performance was neat.

It ended in a second.

I'll announce their individual grade results.

The individual grade results for The Music Works.

I'm going to announce Grade A first.

I must get Grade A.

I must get it.

Trainee Song Yu Vin and Trainee Kim Kook Heon.

(Song Yu Vin, Kim Kook Heon: A)

Double A.

A, A.

That was refreshing.

That was satisfying.

Pardon me, but I'd like to ask you one last thing.

Trainee Kim Kook Heon.

Can you show me your forehead?

(All of a sudden?)

- My forehead? - Why is he obsessed with forehead?

- For real? - Am I the only one curious?

(There is a saying that a man with a wide forehead succeed.)

- Is that so? - You've never heard of that?

I've never heard of it.

A man with a wide forehead succeeds.

Are you reading face or what?

(It's the forehead revealing time.)

Is he going to be rich?

Show your forehead again.

Oh, my! I think he's going to do well.

Young Joon, don't you want to see his forehead?

Let's quickly see it.

(Choi Young Joon)

Is he going to do well?

Yes.

(His logic about forehead is only his personal opinion.)

Trainee Kim Kook Heon.

Can you show me your forehead?

- He has a wide forehead. - Oh, wow!

- He's going to do well. - He has a pretty forehead.

- Is he going to be rich? - Oh, my.

I'm going to be rich.

Thank you.

Good job today.

I knew it.

I told we will make it to Class A.

Good job.

Next trainee, please come in.

- Who will it be? - I wonder...

It's individual trainees.

Is it Eugene turn?

Next trainee, please come in.

- Eugene? - It's Eugene!

Please play the background music.

(We all lie)

(Exclaiming)

(Cheering)

(The individual trainee Lee Eugene enters to the cheers of everyone.)

I hope my earnest desire could be shown...

in my performance.

Shall we see your performance?

(How did individual trainee Lee Eugene prepare his stage?)

(To be continued.)

It's JYP.

(Exclaiming)

(Trainee Yun Seo Bin from JYP appears.)

You look handsome!

- Finally, here he comes. - JYP...

I'm going to keep a close eye on his stage.

Who is next?

(Exclaiming)

Here they came!

YG came to end the game.

They look so relaxed.

They better do well on the stage with that relaxed attitude.

How would it feel to belong in YG?

I bet they are good.

I will do my best on the stage to answer their expectations...

and prove myself as a JYP trainee.

I bet he's going to be really good.

I'm excited.

(How will he do?)

(Exclaiming)

Good boy.

(The battle of two big agencies. YG versus JYP.)

(What kind of performance are they going to show us?)

(The first rankings of the 101 trainees will be revealed soon.)

The trainee sitting in the first place.

Did you win it over?

Yes.

Do you know what it means to be in the first place in Produce X 101?

It means that trainee will be the center.

That's right. Just like every other season,

the final trainee in the first place...

will be the center in the debuting group.

Unlike other seasons,

Trainee Yun Seo Bin,

who has currently gained the first place...

will be given an exclusive benefit.

(The special exclusive benefit has been newly introduced.)

He will be given a minute PR chance on the first episode.

(That's unbelievable.)

1, 2, 3.

Can I call you by name?

Can I call you mine?

I need a commitment just between us

Can we see your walk?

That's big dance move.

He is something else.

Do you really want to be a singer?

I have to go home tonight.

Class X trainees will sit over here.

The managers will come.

My goodness.

What is this?

- Hello, trainees. - Who is that?

Guess who I am.

"X1-MA".

I think it's harder to sing than "Pick Me".

Don't give up

I can't yet

Does that sound a song to you?

- Are you kidding me? - Do you want to go to Class X?

I thought my heart was going to stop beating.

I'm sorry, but please move to your new class.
