[2019 comeback with first mini album "I'm So Pretty"]

What does "Nature" mean?

Nature..

Yes, it means nature.

You knew this.

Is that really all?

This is what our name means.

People are exhausted these days,

by going into nature you can gain refreshment and good energy,

we wish to provide you with that energy through our music.

That's the meaning.

Do you know where you are?

We came to audition for Idol 999.

Shouldn't you go to a music show?

We want to become stars.

Yeah.

You can become a star here.

We really want it.

Keep it down!

They're really excited.

They're rookies.

Anyhow, we'll introduce ourselves.

I'm the CEO of Idol Room Entertainment,

the leader of Idol 999, honey-sexy Doni.

I'm a member of Idol 999,

team leader and everything else,

I'm sweet sugar Coni.

We are Idol 999.

You are really overflowing with excitement.

Before we continue,

do you know our agenda?

Of course,

we came prepared.

We studied up before coming.

Who will tell us a bit about it?

I can do it.

Through an audition 999 members will be scouted,

then after Doni and Coni complete the roster, the world's largest group will debut as 1001.

I will take over.

So far the audition has recruited Winner's Kang Seungyoon, Fromis_9's Baek Jiheon, Jung Seung Hwan,

Jeon Somi, Red Velvet's Seulgi, GFriend's Sowon and Eun Jiwon.

I didn't expect them to list everyone.

People might be unfamiliar with you,

so we'll talk for a bit.

Yes.

Aurora and Sunshine, are you foreigners?

Yes, I am.

Sunshine?

Me too.

Where do you come from?

The USA.

She's a Korean kid without even a passport.

[Kim Min Jung - Nowon beauty]

It's actually me.

One day Haru.

Yes, I'm from Japan.

A friend from Japan?

Friend!

Anyhow we'll see if you can participate in the audition.

Yes.

First off, you said you'd lift our spirits.

Yes.

That really impressed us.

To be honest..

we're in low spirits right now.

- We aren't feeling good? - We don't.

You were looking fine.

Our mood is all the way down.

What are you going to do about it?

We'll lift you up!

How?

We've often heard that we're very excited.

We'll make our introductions exciting with EDM.

We'll show it one after the other.

Let's see your individual introductions.

Music, cue.

Who begins?

Uchae.

Do we start with her?

Hel..

Wait..

Hel..

Wait..

You can do it.

Let's go!

Uchae!

Let's go! Start!

Wait a moment.

If Uchae is to start, you have to be quiet for a moment.

"Start!" "I told you to go!"

What's more,

Uchae isn't usually enthusiastic, right?

Yes.

- She's calmer than expected. - She's a bit reserved.

But because of the team spirit you have no choice.

That's it.

The way I see it, she's quiet.

Uchae doesn't want the spotlight.

That's what she wants, but the others react..

Sunshine and Loha espcially,

kept going on.

Lu next to her almost cursed.

Do it comfortably now.

Let's go.

Music, cue.

Come on.

Let's go Loha.

Go get them.

Ok you guys, my name is Loha.

I am Nature's happy virus.

Remember it, my name is Loha.

Next.

Shine, go, go.

Go!

I'm the sunlit youngest, Sunshine.

Aurora.

Aurora!

Hello,

I am Nature's grandpa Aurora.

TN: meaning she's lethargic

I may be a grandpa,

but I'm healthy and can do everything.

Let's go Saebom.

Go Saebom.

I am Nature's born-to-be sexy,

and..

I'm 23.

Chaebin.

Hi,

I'm Nature's main vocal Chaebin.

Are you done?

Start!

Start!

Hello, I am Nature's cute and powerful dancer Haru.

Here I'm in charge of cuteness,

in Japan I was in the national dancesport team.

Hello, I am Nature's leader,

la la li,

la la la,

la la lu, I'm Lu.

If I make it into Idol 999, I'll be in charge of communications as the language genius.

Uchae, go go.

Uchae!

I'm the second youngest, but tallest, and I'm not fun.

Thank you.

They're really messy.

Haru, you were a national representative?

I represented Japan in dancesport.

Dancesport..

Right, Latin.

Latin, is that so?

Yes.

How many turns did you do just now?

Just now, I can't remember.

How much can you spin?

Unlimited?

- You can spin forever? - Yes.

Are you sure?

Don't you get dizzy.

No.

Isn't it like elephant spins?

Can we see it then?

Yes.

Spinning forever.

Start.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10..

Watch the mic.

Check 1, 2.

She's slowing down.

She might break down if she continues.

Are you dizzy?

I'm not dizzy.

Where are you going?

I'm not dizzy.

Where are you going?

Don't go home, Haru.

She's good at spinning.

Right.

We saw your introductions,

Aurora is good at imitating animals?

That's right.

What's a flexible frog.

- Frog? - Yes.

She'll show you.

- You can do it. - Flexible frog.

Flexible..

frog.

It's flexible.

She's great.

Flexible frog.

How long have you been preparing this?

Is there more? Do it all.

I can do..

an ostrich.

Ostrich.

Chicken.

And a dinosaur.

Show us the ostrich first.

We're also seeing it for the first time.

An ostrich.

It walks slowly at first..

Slowly..

She's..

There's Zootopia's sloth as well?

To be honest, I don't imitate him,

it's the similarity.

You're a bit similar when I think about it.

She's really similar.

It's the laughing expression of the sloth.

1, 2, 3

When did you start practicing this?

I haven't practiced this.

I was just watching the movie with friends.

"He's just like you!"

Yeah..

He was similar to you.

Aurora is great.

We saw it earlier, your upper body is really flexible, did you do gymnastics?

No, I'm just flexible.

- Were you always? - Yes.

We saw this.. who was it again?

Hayoung.

You can do that.

Try it.

Can you do it?

- I can. - She should be able to.

You can?

Yes.

You can?

I'll do it.

She's doing it.

It seems easy.

My bones ache.

Her upper body is flexible.

I give up.

You need to be flexible for this.

I can't.

Only Aurora can do it.

I have to work out.

Lu the leader called herself a language genius.

If I join Idol 999, I can take care of our foreign relations.

Where are you from?

I'm from Gyeonggi.

Where?

Yongin.

Im Hayoung, Gyeonggi's daughter

How many languages?

I can speak about 8.

Then..

This smells a bit fishy.

3 would be believable..

Right.

More than 4 is..

Let's see first,

Idol Room has many YouTube viewers,

let's greet each country, English first.

Hello everyone, we are Nature, my name is Lu. Thank You.

- That's it? - Yes.

- Are you done? - No, no.

Then Japanese.

Hello everyone,

Nature made a comeback with "I'm so pretty",

thank you very much.

Was that really Japanese?

Can you do Chinese?

Yes, I can.

Chinese..

I changed my hair color this time..

It's really cute.

I hope you like it.

What about Thai?

Hello..

Spain.

My name is Rrrru.

My name is Rrru?

She's really a comedian.

I told you it smelled fishy.

Is there more?

There is.

Haru?

I'm good at limbo.

Limbo?

Like this.. what's it called?

Bending the waist.

Don't we have a limbo pole?

It's set at 90 cm now.

Haru first.

- Fighting! - Start.

This is just..

I'm good at it.

Aurora and Sunshine must be good.

Saebom was quicker.

Me too.

Saebom!

Stand in line.

Lu, come back.

Lu is out.

75 cm.

75

I can do it.

Saebom looked really flexible.

It's low.

She's the best.

It's her new talent.

Since Saebom came out, I lost my confidence.

If Haru can't do this..

What will I do?

You can do it!

You can do it.

70

70?

70

We can't do this even if we lie down.

How can I do this?

Isn't this for high jumping?

No way..

You can do it.

Spread your legs.

To the side.

Haru, if you do this,

it belongs to you.

Can she succeed?

The pole is below the waist now.

Start.

Fighting, you can do it.

Fighting.

No, no.

You'll make it.

Haru, Haru, Limbo

She has to stand up.

She did it easily.

Really impressive.

She's amazing.

Doing sportdance is worth it.

Dancesport.

We'll now begin the Idol 999 group evaluation.

From now on you'll receive stern ratings between A and F.

Yes.

We hope you try your best.

Now what do you think are the requirements for an idol?

Loha?

Yes.

What does an idol need?

Talent.

Talent, and then.

Confidence.

Beauty.

You're out.

[Reason: Look at the leaders' faces..]

And..

Sincerity.

Tenacity.

Not one said singing or dancing.

Not one.

The first Idol 999 group evaluation will test the basics,

it's the dance skill evaluation.

It's dance.

I heard you've prepared a group dance for today?

- Yes! - You've prepared something?

We've created a choreography to show you.

We'll look at it right away.

Ok.

Let's go.

Nature have prepared well.

Music, cue.

They've prepared a lot.

During the introductions earlier,

we learned that Haru was on the Japanese dancesport team.

Yes.

Back in Japan.

I learned for 10 years.

- 10 years? - Yes.

Since you were a child.

Right, since 3rd grade in high school.

What was your main discipline, Rumba, Cha-Cha-Cha..

I did everything.

All.

What were you most confident in.

For me it was Samba..

Samba!

Yes.

Samba.

Then we'll play some music for you,

can you dance according to the song?

Let's try.

Haru, fighting!

Fighting!

Music, cue.

Cool.

There she goes.

She's the coolest.

Haru, A!

I see this for the first time.

Thank you.

- I'm so happy. - Uchae..

also has a special dance ability?

I can dance with a stiff body.

- That doesn't look good, right? - Yes.

Uchae, this is somehow..

you can't do this after Haru.

Do you want a song?

Our "Dream About U".

A dance not using the joints of the body.

Music,

cue.

Cute.

Cute.

She's cute.

She's doing well.

Fighting!

You can do it.

Well done.

B for Uchae.

What am I doing..

Not enough for an A.

I'm not sure she won't think about this at home.

To give you all a fair chance,

we've thought about an event to test your dance abilities, and it is..

cover dances.

Only people who know the dance can come up.

If you get up without knowing, you get an F.

I'm getting an A.

A!

Cover dances, go.

Music, cue.

They all know.

For the rookies..

Chungha is amazing.

Aurora has to give up.

Aurora, go back.

If you don't know, go back.

Loha continues.

..don't know, go back.

Loha continues, she's a machine.

Loha and Saebom keep going.

Saebom was a bit unsure.

Lu go back.

The comedian came out.

Comedian.

The comedian.

Does she know this?

This too?

Gfriend..

What is she doing?

Fake choreography

Original choreography

She's cheerleading.

This isn't acting.

It looks great.

What is that..

They've trained a lot.

They're great.

For real.

Haru came out?

Shine is having a hard time.

Shine, go back.

They fit together.

Well done.

Hyuna..

Loha is still there.

She knows them all.

A machine.

Loha knows this too.

This belonged to Loha from the start.

It's an overwhelming A.

She's great.

She danced to everything.

Loha, you are really a dancer.

Now it's boy groups.

She knows them too.

Loha will come out for boy dances too?

Yes.

But it's completely different from girl group dances.

Let's see.

Music, cue.

I have to go.

Let's see it!

Haru knows too.

Are they Jin and Rapmon?

Let's go.

Haru knows it.

Nice.

For boy groups..

it's Loha and Haru.

It starts right away, like a machine.

Haru knows many too.

Did you plan this?

Loha, get the A.

Get that A.

Really cool.

Haru as well.

Really?

Haru did well too.

We'll begin the second Idol 999 group evaluation.

Team leader, what's the event?

A prerequisite to get into Idol 999..

It's..

physiognomy.

Physiognomy.

Face reading..

You'd know if you look at us, our visual average is currently..

not that great.

It's because of Seung Hwan.

It's him.

I'm destined to be a King.

TN: "The Face Reader" reference

The member with the best physiognomy,

meaning the one with the luckiest features in the group.

Are you a group with many beauty marks?

Yes.

We have many.

First Lu, is there one?

Yes.

Chaebin too.

Here.

On the eyelid.

Beauty mark on the left eye,

wealth spot.

You'll become very rich.

You'll be rich.

I want to be rich.

Saebom.

I have one on my lip.

That's just soy sauce.

Is that true?

It means food fortune.

You like eating?

I really do.

What about the others?

On the philtrum.

Philtrum,

A beauty mark on the philtrum,

means you're kind.

Really?

It seems right.

Chaebin has money and is kind.

More.

Maybe Shine, right side.

Over the eyebrow, right side.

Over the right eyebrow.

It means success.

A person that's always cheerful,

that doesn't overdo it,

that you can depend on in the face of misfortune.

It's right.

In the face of misfortune?

Yes.

Her self-esteem is high.

That's it.

What about Uchae?

On the nose.

Lu has it too.

Nose tip..

you'll have many financial troubles.

You're prone to wasting money.

I get all the unlucky ones.

Anyhow, for members without beauty marks,

don't be disappointed.

We have to make our own luck, to become 1001.

Today we'll do this test.

It's called "I'm destined to be an Idol 999 member".

Nice.

I'm destined..

It's the watermelon seeds spitting game.

The rules are simple.

You'll try it one at a time.

There are three zones.

First, for 1 point,

the idol zone.

Like IU, BTS V, Taeyeon,

there are many idols with a beauty mark on the left cheek.

Second, for 5 points,

the beauty zone.

Jun Jihyun, Ko Soyoung, Han Gain,

beauties that have a beauty mark on the nose.

Third, for 10 points,

the Jung Dongnam zone.

A single one guarantees over 40 years of success in our industry.

It's a spot on the forehead.

Here..

It's worth 10 points.

The member with the highest total wins.

Yes.

It looks fun.

Here we go.

I think she'll hit one.

What?

Left side..

It's the right side.

Right side..

Right side again.

One more.

Do you prefer the right side of your face?

Under the eye..

Show us a pose.

Saebom, 0 points.

It's too bad.

It's a pity.

Idols without money troubles,

are less frequent.

Fighting!

Good, good.

Who will be among the lucky ones?

It went too far.

Less power.

Less power.

It's the left side.

Raise your head.

Chaebin, 1 point.

Left cheek, it's the idol zone.

Idol zone.

Comedian, 0 points.

She's so low.

Doing it limbo style.

Haru, 0 points.

It's under the eye.

Under the left eye, 0 points.

Will it work?

Sleep well.

Loha is eliminated.

I did it!

I did it!

You're out.

You're not qualified.

Lean back.

It's the eyelid.

Uchae, 0 points.

Fighting.

Is it there?

It's not.

Sunshine, 0 points.

The winner is Chaebin!

The third Idol 999 group evaluation,

it's really an important one.

This evaluation is..

the insider test.

Insider..

Because we'll have 999 members,

we need them to get along with each other,

we want members who are insiders.

Who's the biggest insider among Nature members?

Shine.

Why do you think it's her?

She's trendy.

She knows a lot of slang.

- Slang? - Yes.

Throw some at us, we are insiders.

IVL

Iced Vanilla Latte

Since when do we know this, it's old news.

You know that one?

It's too old.

LNM

Not these.

[Clueless foreign members]

Looking for a natural meeting

Not these.

These are too old.

CBC

Say it.

CBC is case by case.

This is difficult for foreigners.

- You're not good at it. - SHS

SHS?

Steaming hot shower.

That's more like dialect.

Did you make this up?

It's real.

To be honest, we know this information about Nature.

The best for insiders, the insider dance.

You've created the hand-pulled noodle/laundry dance.

What is the noodle-making dance?

The title track of our second single album is "Some".

The choreographer who made "Gangnam Style", Lee Jusun, created the noodle-making dance.

It's like making hand-pulled noodles..

Exactly, that movement.

We also danced in a Chinese restaurant.

Are we the only ones who didn't know, it's on YouTube.

It became a dance challenge, for insiders.

It's called hand-pulled noodle dance in Korea,

overseas it's the laundry dance challenge.

Many people did it on YouTube.

Let's look at it then.

Yes.

Music, cue.

Let's go.

This is it..

I like that dance.

However, we're looking for even more intense dances.

So we need more intense skills.

It's time for the first insider contest.

We'll give you three pedometers each.

Place them wherever you want on your body.

We'll do the noodle dance from start to finish, the member with the highest score..

will become the king of insiders.

From Loha to Saebom.

I'll use my hands.

Music, cue.

The entire body.

Noodle dance.

Move!

Aurora..

Do the choreography.

They're strong.

It's physical.

You need stamina.

Hand-pulled noodles!

You have to do this Sunshine.

What do we do with Sunshine?

Aurora is back.

Stop!

Don't move.

Starting with Saebom.

89,

and..

one turned off.

No result.

It's ruined.

Aurora, 297.

Too bad.

Shine, 463.

Here we go.

What will it be?

505!

Loha again.

It's Loha again.

It's not over yet.

There's the second group.

No, do it like this..

in front of you.

Music, cue.

Nice.

Look at Lu.

Very nice.

Lu is good.

Haru is moving her arms.

Uchae is excited.

They're trying hard.

Follow the choreography.

Uchae.

Stamina..

Stamina is important.

Haru isn't doing the noodle dance.

Haru, you must dance.

I'm not sure.

Stamina is necessary.

Stop!

Stop.

Uchae, out-of-body experience

Uchae first.

195,

237,

248.

680!

Uchae placed them on her knees.

Like this..

I should've done that too..

Lu,

40.

I only moved my arms.

444

Four, four, four.

I'm Haru.

618

Chaebin, 80,

123,

105.

The biggest insider is Uchae.

It's the first victory for Uchae.

Her first A.

Well done.

Uchae.

Now for the next evaluation,

the reason you came here is..

to become stars.

Isn't that right?

We'll evaluate your star power.

If you want to become a star,

you have to complete this event.

Team leader, what is the event?

It's "Float, float, balloon."

Float, float?

Do this?

It's very simple.

8 people have to work together to keep this balloon floating for 1 minute.

This represents you.

Yes.

You can't fall.

You have to float.

We have to take off.

It's precious.

Not with the hands, but with the fan.

It's hard.

Seems like we're finished.

You didn't try..

This looks really difficult.

Blow it up like this?

We'll let you practice.

Yes.

Pass it between each other?

Only fan underneath it, don't touch.

Ready,

Throw it high.

Start.

It's not an individual game.

You havee to do it together.

With power.

Keep going.

Try that.

Like this.

Control the strength.

Don't hit it, Loha.

We have to get up and move.

That's it, move.

We have to get up and move.

That's it, move.

If you hit it, you fail.

Don't touch it.

No touching.

So hard.

Don't touch it.

Don't touch it.

Are you ready?

Yes.

This is impossible.

Shall we do it with 6 people, while 2 assist outside.

- Assist with me. - I'll do it.

Practice.

Start.

Saebom start.

Move, move.

Don't touch it.

Assist, assist.

It looks good.

It's working.

We'll be superstars.

Camera!

The camera..

It's over.

It can't be helped.

You have to start in the back.

The best was 27 seconds.

You were doing quite well.

We have to last twice that long?

Let's start over here.

This is more difficult than expected.

We'll change it to 40 seconds.

Here we go.

Make it float.

I'm in the back.

It's 40 seconds.

If it comes my way, don't blow it.

Down here..

Tell me before you do something.

Start!

Assist, assist!

Raise it!

Good.

[It has to float, by all means it just has to float]

[Totally immersed, Nature and the balloon]

[It's mere entertainment for others, but for us it's serious]

[One with the balloon, you will float!]

20 seconds.

It's halftime.

Quickly.

Uchae, out-of-body experience

What kind of game is this?

Stronger!

Go up!

No, no, no.

Go up!

No!

Really, what is this?

It went down, but your teamwork was really great.

Thank you.

It was fun.

It fell.

How many seconds?

Please.

We'll tell you the final digits.

It's 8.16.

48.16 seconds?

One digit is left.

Please!

It was really close.

Really close.

Here it goes.

Uchae, how many seconds?

It was similar to earlier.

It didn't seem longer than before.

38?

58.

58?

No way.

48.

It's 48 seconds.

It's over, Nature did it!

[Uchae's final rating]

[Lu's final rating]

[Haru's final rating]

[Chaebin's final rating]

[Saebom's final rating]

[Aurora's final rating]

[Sunshine's final rating]

[Loha's final rating]

It's time to announce the result of the 8th Idol 999 audition.

In today's evaluation Haru and Loha earned triple A's.

One of those two?

Picking one of them is too unfair.

The world's fairest method is..

Picking one of them is too unfair.

The world's fairest method is..

the bomb dance.

We'll now determine Idol 999's 8th member.

While everyone is dancing, you can pass this bomb to other members.

The member who holds it when it explodes, becomes our 8th member.

Are you all ready?

Yes.

Music,

cue.

It's scary.

I'll give it to you.

I love you.

No, no.

There's still time.

There's a lot of time.

Shine wants it.

Saebom.

Is it a real bomb?

No, no.

Is it over?

Aurora.

Finally we have a foreign member.

She'll help you expand.

It's Idol 999's first foreign member,

Aurora!

Aurora is our member now.

As a member,

she'll be distinguished.

What is it?

I give you our uniform.

I want one.

It's pretty.

Along all the others,

Aurora is now also part of the debutee group.

[Idol 999 - 8th member - Aurora]

Let's listen to Aurora's impressions.

How was it?

I'm honored.

You're our first foreign member.

Yes, I'm the first.

Fighting!

I'll do my best.

Nice.

Aurora is very skilled and talented,

and she'll add some fresh blood to our team.

That's it.

Finally, Lu after coming here today, say something to promote "I'm So Pretty".

We showed you our various charms today,

please support us and our song "I'm So Pretty" in the future.

This has been Nature, thank you.

Then we'll say goodbye too.

We're Idol 999!
