The main vocal is Twice's Ji-hyo.
It's so nice to see older and younger singers holding hands and performing.
It's VIXX's Ken and GOT7's Young-jae.
- This is nice to see. - It's so nice.
That was nice.
That was touching.
And now...
Who is it?
Oh a special guest. Kim Hong-kook!
Nice! He's coming aggressively.
He's the president of singers. but he can't keep the beat.
Is this his new song?
He has such a touching voice.
It's my first time hearing him live.
What are they unraveling?
This is the Idol Star Athletics Championships.
It's so nice to see the older and younger singers gathered together.

Here you go.
Heart.
He accepted it.

What's that you're wearing?

Idol Star Athletics Championships. Let's go!
Soon. the women's archery competition will begin.
This is the Chuseok special for the athletics competition.
We will be broadcasting the women's archery competition.
She's joining us again.
the 1996 gold medalist from the Atlanta Olympics.
Yoon Hye-young. Welcome.
Hello.
I'll be a commentator for women's archery.
I hear there's a change for this year's archery competition.
After 3 years. the men's archery competition is back.
That's right.
- It's something to look forward to. - Yes. For the women's archery competition.
we will see subtle technique.
In the men's competition. we will see strength and skill.
We will be able to see two different types of games from the men and women.
That's right.
Wow. the fans are already starting to cheer passionately.
So how does the competition work?
The winners will move on to the semi-finals.
And last year's winners. EXID. will move on to the semi-finals automatically.
Then they will compete in the finals.
Each team has 3 participants with a total of 10 arrows.
I heard Hye-ri prepared something special for the championship.
I surveyed all of the participants to get some answers.
I prepared this especially for this event. You can only see it here.
Hye-ri's Questionnaire.
- How cute. - You get 10 points.
Hye-ri's Questionnaire.
The questionnaire's topic is...
When shooting an arrow.
which idol has the prettiest wink?
I'm sure many idols will think it's them.
- Oh GFriend. - They think it's them.
Yoo-ah.
I'll tell you the answer.
When shooting the arrow. the idol with the prettiest wink is...
Ga-yeon is winking and saying that it's her.
The answer is... GFriend's Eun-ha!
- Congratulations! - Congratulations Eun-ha.
- She's pretty. - Okay. wink!
You were chosen to have the prettiest wink.
- So pretty. - She is.
In the hopes that another record will come out.
we will begin with our first competition.
The first match for the women's archery competition will now begin.
GFriend v. Mamamoo.
Okay let's get started.
The first match is between GFriend and Mamamoo.
Mamamoo's team is the same as last time: Hwa-sa. Whee-in. and Moon-byul.
For GFriend. Ye-rin and Eun-ha are joined by first-timer Um-ji.
The GFriend team pretty much lived in the gym. practicing.
They practiced diligently.
Among them. Eun-ha is the one who caught my eye.
If GFriend has Eun-ha. Mamamoo has Whee-in. Whee-golas.
Please watch the two aces. Eun-ha and Whee-in. carefully as they battle it out.
Interestingly. Mamamoo
put their ace in the front.
- They're trying to scare the opponent. - Right. and GFriend
put their ace at the end to wrap up the competition for the team.
Psychologically though. I think that the first member to go
is the most important. - Right. they have the pressure.
Rather than the wrap-up. I think the beginning is more important.
Are you a professional archer? How do you know so much?
- I love archery. - Oh I see.
GFriend v. Mamamoo. Let's begin.
This is Ye-rin.
She's first.
- Wow she got a 10! - She got a 10?
- GFriend is scary. - That was incredible.
How did she get a 10 on her first shot?
She can't be nervous.
Whee-golas.
Now Mamamoo...
Whee-in must feel pressure.
- Wow a tie! - Wow it's a close competition.
It's like watching an Olympic finals game.
It really became the finals.
This is why I say the first person is the most important.
If you really had to guess. which team do you think
will win?
It's been a while since I had to gamble. so...
He doesn't like guessing.
- Okay Ye-rin's turn again. - This is her second arrow.
- Oh 8 points. - That's not that bad.
Yea. that's good.
What's important here is that. the reason they have to shoot quickly
is because the bow is hard... - It's heavy.
It's hard for them to hold the bow for a long time.
It's better to shoot fast.
- Right. - They need to shoot right away.
- They can shake if they hold too long.
If Whee-in widens the spread...
- If she can get a 10 here... - Ye-rin will be shaken.
Wow it's a tie!
They're doing the same.
It's as if they promised to get the same scores.
- They're both good. - The first person shoots and the second follows.
This is her third arrow.
- 9 points. She's really consistent. - Ye-rin really practiced hard.
This is amazing.
- You can tell she practiced a lot. - Exactly.
Oh no!
- Maybe she was nervous. - Mamamoo's ace is shaken.
Practice makes the difference.
The first round is over with a 4-point difference.
Can you evaluate Ye-rin's form?
It's very clean.
- She doesn't shake at all. She's like a professional. - She shoots all three the same.
She doesn't take her eyes off the target.
- That's what's important. - Isn't she the same level as a professional?
- There's nothing to fix. - She's surprised at herself after shooting it.
- Let's see how Um-ji does. - It's her first time competing.
Yea. it's her first time.
- She's steady too. - She's pulling the bow back.
- She shot it! - Oh 7 points isn't bad.
She did well for her first time.
It's Moon-byul's turn.
- She said she can't wink well. - She's a player who winks with both eyes.
Which eye is she looking through?
- Oh it's 6 points. - 6 points.
Mamamoo is shaken.
They have to be at peace.
She shoots.
- Wow. - 8 points.
- They shoot really well. - They practiced a lot.
Oh no. 3 points.
Moon-byul can do better than that.
- She practiced a lot. - That's unfortunate.
This round is spreading the gap.
Um-ji isn't shaken at all.
Her form is really good.
Wow. it's 10 points!
She hit the camera!
Wow. it's 10 points!
She hit the camera!
- That could be the highlight of the day. - That's a 10.
She hit the camera.
- Yea she hit the camera. - Wow.
- Wow. The arrow bounces off the target. - Isn't it incredible?
- Um-ji. - The arrow bounced off.
Um-ji gets a thumbs up.
It's working out really well for that team.
- Even if it hits the frame. it's a 10. right? - Yea. it's 10 points.
It's too early for Mamamoo to give up though. They need to focus.
- I'm sure she's really nervous. - Yea. she's nervous.
The score difference is
52:37. - She's giving her power.
- GFriend is pretty much... - They're winning by a huge difference.
Now. the ace. Eun-ha. is getting ready.
Mamamoo has another ace. Hwa-sa.
Eun-hae. the idol with the prettiest wink.
Hwa-sa.
Oh look at her form. This is Eun-ha.
She starts off with a 7. It's not bad.
But her wink really is pretty.
It's Hwa-sa's turn. She's an ace too.
Hwa-sa. Her name sounds like "arrow."
Oh you're right.
Interesting find.
- She's born to do archery. - She has great form.
Wow 9 points. She's following closely.
See I was right.
She's nervous.
Your name can be your vitamin.
At this point. they're waiting for the opponent to mess up.
They have to mess up.
It may seem cowardly. but they can only hope for a mistake.
She's pulling back.
She got 6 points.
It's not that bad.
- They have some leeway. - She has to get a 10 here.
- Right. - For now.
Hwa-sa needs to get a 10 both times.
To keep their hopes up. she needs to get 10s.
She's capable of getting a 10.
Aces are strongest during danger.
Look at her focus.
- 8 points. - That's not bad.
She's following.
- She's feeling pressured. - She has 20 seconds.
What will this mean?
- Wow 10 points! - What did I say?
- Don't guess so easily. - Okay I won't.
She finished with a perfect score.
Now Mamamoo has to get 20 points.
20 points.
The arrow needs to split into two.
- Then it'll be 20 points. - I'll accept it if that happens.
I'll accept it if it splits into two and she gets a 20.
Nonetheless. look at her focus until the very end.
She's doing her best.
- Wow 9 points. - That's Hwa-sa.
- She still did well. - She has great focus. - I applaud you. Mamamoo.
Hwa-sa will be shooting the final arrow.
GFriend.
This is the last arrow.
She shoots.
Wow! She really is the ace.
That arrow was the preparation for her next match.
"Come at me."
At this rate. they may have the highest score for the whole competition.
She's doing well today.
Apart from the victory. she
is trying to get the record for the entire competition.
At least for the consolation tournament. she needs as many points.
She's not shaken.
- Her form is good. - Yea. it's good. Wow she got a 10!
That was good.
Hwa-sa's good.
She did her part until the very end.
That was amazing.
GFriend broke their old record.
They take the win with a really big score difference.
The second round of the quarter finals for women's archery will begin.
Twice v. Oh My Girl.
It's both of the team's first time participating in archery.
Neither of them have an advantage.
They both don't have records. either.
First...
Twice's Tzu-yu is getting ready.
This part is the most nerve-wracking.
- Her form is good. - This is nerve-wracking. Tzu-yu shoots.
Oh 7 points!
- That's good. - She needs to get more than 7.
- This is Ji-ho. - She got 6 points.
With the first arrow. they need to get comfortable with the bow.
They need to know the height and direction of the bow.
She looks so pretty.
- 9 points! - 9 points is good.
She's gotten the hang of it.
Her shot is clean.
Da-hyun's turn.
- Wow 9 points! - She's good.
- They're shaking. - She got 3 points.
It's 64:61.
Twice beats Oh My Girl. 64 to 61.
This is the third round. with Apink v. Lovelyz.
- She shoots. Wow! - Wow. 10!
She showed them!
Wow 8 points.
There could be a twist.
She got 9 points.
- Oh good job. Ji-ae. - This is a mental battle.
- It needs to go in well. - Where did it go?
There it is. It's above the target.
Her shooting is strong since she's pulling back far.
Wow Seo Ji-soo.
We're just amazed.
Idol Star Athletics Championships!
Next up is the 60-meter race.
This is the highlight of the Idol Star Athletics Championships.
We'll begin the races.
At this point he's a ghost. Here's commentator. Yoon Yeo-choon.
Welcome.
- I'm the eternal commentator for the idol races. - Eternal?
They say it's the Yoon Yeo-choon curse.
There's a curse during every live show.
Every person he chooses. loses.
Sun-hwa will definitely win.
Han Sun-hwa. what's going on?
The fourth lane looks good.
I think the third lane will win.
But why is this written so tiny? I can't even read it.
How long will the curse last? He has never guessed correctly.
I experienced it last time too.
- Weren't you surprised? - Yes. I saw it and was shocked.
Do you know any information about the athletes?
But why is Lee Soo-geun here?
Why are you attacking him?
Judging from his looks. he seems like he wouldn't be good at running.
I raced until I was in middle school. I'm really fast.
I can see that everything you guess is wrong.
Yea. you're right. If he says it. he's wrong.
We'll see if the curse continues today.
Shall we begin?
There are 24 participants for both the men's and women's competitions.
They will be split into four groups. The winner from each
will move on to the finals.
The two with the highest record from the losing teams will also join in the finals.
A total of six competitors will participate in an intense race for the gold medal.
- I prepared a questionnaire for this one as well. - How cute.
What's the question?
The question for this one is...
"Break the record! Break the record!"
Who is the idol that you would want waiting for you
at the finish line?
All of the male idols were asked for the girls' group.
The female idols were asked which guy group member they would want waiting for them.
For something like this. more than us.
those idols over there are more nervous.
They're so nervous right now.
- They can't control their expressions. - Hello Venus is nervous.
- They all think that it could be them. - They're so nervous.
The idol that the boys want to wait for them at the finish line is...
The name of the girl group!
- From Twice! - Who is it?
Sa-Na!
Sa-Na! Sa-Na! Sa-Na!
- Sa-Na! Sa-Na! Sa-Na! - So pretty.
Congratulations.
She's so cute.
Sa-Na won that one.
- Now. the boys. - You're curious about the boy group right?
When the girls are running. which male idol do they want waiting for them?
- A guy. - Oh. I'm nervous.
- They're already moving around. - Who could it be?
There's Astro.
He's showing his heart.
I'll reveal the answer.
"Break the record! Break the record!"
From the Bangtan Boys.
Ji-min!
Congratulations.
Ji-min! Ji-min! Ji-min!
He has a cute face. but
he has a nice body. - That's right.
They know.
He got 35% of the votes.
He must be so happy.
The first group for the women's 60-meter race will begin now.
Runners. please go to your lanes.
These are the first group's 6 racers.
There's 3 racers who are competing for the first time. so it's hard to predict.
Right. the first race is the hardest and scariest.
It's like an ambush.
If you had to choose a runner to watch for...
- If I had to choose just one person... - Who would it be?
Jung Yae-in.
He's going with the easy pick.
Because he's always wrong. he went with the obvious.
Jung Yae-in must not be happy.
Since you're always wrong.
Not unhappy. but she must feel worried because he's always wrong.
Hello Venus' Na-Ra is someone to watch carefully too.
Oh yea. you can't forget her.
Then. let's get started with the first round.
- Get ready! - Oh. they have to get ready.
I know how they feel at this moment.
In a 60-meter race. by the time you regret. it's too late.
They have to go fast from the beginning.
Set!
That was Jung Yae-in.
That was a false start.
Is this the Yoon Yeo-choon curse? It's already taking over.
That's never happened before.
- That's the first time. - That's the first time. That never happened before.
- I'm already starting to sweat. - That's probably the first time for Jung Yae-in.
Set!
- The second lane started the fastest. - She's the fastest.
- Oh no. she fell! - The second lane is leading.
- Oh no. she fell! - Eun-suh! Eun-suh!
Eun-suh! Wow!
Cosmic Girls' Eun-suh!
I told you the first-time runners are the scariest.
Hye-ri. you predicted correctly.
She beat everyone's expectations.
You predicted better than Yoon Yeo-choon.
Cosmic Girls' Eun-suh had a good start. She had the fastest start.
Oh no. Na-Ra fell. Na-Ra fell.
- He said to watch out for Na-Ra. - Yea. that's right.
It's really the Yoon Yeo-choon curse. Don't say anything.
We don't even need to check the video.
There was a big time difference between 1st and 2nd.
She was fast.
A new star is born today.
We need to watch for this athlete.
If you say that. Eun-suh will be really worried.
After the 1st race. now the 2nd race will begin.
They're off! The third lane. Bi-Ni!
Her start was the fastest.
Bi-Ni comes in first easily.
The third group for the women's 60-meter race will begin.
The third group has a lot of contenders.
Oh it's an ambush.
- You can see it in her face that she's a runner. - Yea. it's written on her face.
- It's her first time. but she's saying. "I'm a runner." - She came running.
- She came from running. - I think she's going to get first.
- It's on her face. - Me too. she's going to be first.
I think EXID's Jung-hwa.
- Jung-hwa. - I predict Jung-hwa.
- Yes. the records written here are the easiest to choose. - He's just reading it.
I'm nervous for her.
Ji-hyo and Jung-hwa.
We need to watch the 3rd and 4th lane. just by looking at their records.
Set!
They're off!
She's going! She's going! Min-young is going!
Oh no! She fell! Min-young fell!
- She fell! - Min-young fell.
She's going! She's going! Min-young is going!
Oh no! She fell! Min-young fell!
- She fell! - Min-young fell.
- That's not right! - Min-young fell.
We need to have a rematch.
I bet she would've had the best record.
She was going too fast. Just watch. Watch Min-young.
- Min-young was leading. but right here. - She fell.
- I hope she didn't get hurt. - She can't get hurt.
Yoon Yeo-choon could never have predicted Min-young.
This unexpected skill.
These two saw her potential. What happened?
Runners who are competing for the first time
can get too selfish
and since they're nervous. they can slip on their own step.
- I predicted that. - You predicted she'll slip on her step?
Please tell us that before the competition starts.
The records are coming out for the third group.
EXID Jung-hwa got 10.27 and Twice's Ji-hyo
got 10.55 seconds.
It's unfortunate for Brave Girls' Min-young.
Yea. but we'll look forward to seeing her at the next race.
The fourth group for the women's 60-meter race will begin.
In the fourth group...
there's GFriend's Yoo-joo. who Yoon Yeo-choon predicted will win.
What's important is that Yoo-joo was recently injured.
- She's injured. - Recently. she's been performing with a cast on her hand.
It's in the news.
It was too cold when she was sleeping so she tried to turn off the air conditioner.
But she fell and broke her finger.
She's the defending champion.
Brave Girls' Yoo-Na.
- Her father's a P.E. teacher. - He's a P.E. teacher?
Then I predict Yoo-Na.
All of a sudden?
Her dad's a P.E. teacher.
She must have his genes.
An expert should talk like an expert. What do you mean her father?
Just saying his genes.
- Look at them. - So you think Yoo-Na will beat Yoo-joo? - Yes.
So Yoon Yeo-choon chooses Yoo-Na over Yoo-joo because her dad's a P.E. teacher.
He chooses Yoo-Na.
Set!
They're off!
Oh. first lane is gone. First lane is gone.
- She's gone. - As we expected.
- Yoo-joo. - As we expected. Yoo-joo is the winner.
First lane was last place.
Regardless of her finger injury.
that doesn't affect her running.
First lane. Yoo-Na. got last place.
Yoon Yeo-choon curse strikes for the second time.
He chose Yoo-joo to win first. and then he changed his mind.
But she came in first. The curse was lifted from her.
Yoo-joo was way ahead of everyone else.
Wow. that's incredible. Did she get the best record?
- She beat the best record. - Hers was 9.30 before.
She set the new idol championship record with 9.16 seconds.
- Incredible. - GFriend's Yoo-joo is first. and Twice's Chae-young got 9.70 seconds.
Now. the men's 60-meter race will begin.
The first group's runners. please enter the track.
I am going to choose Baro as the winner for the entire competition.
There's Baro. He's the one that Yoon Yeo-choon has selected to win the entire thing.
Hong-bin has a record of 9.23 seconds for a 70-meter race.
The fourth lane. Bangtan Boys' Suga has no record either.
- They're off! - They're running!
Hong-bin! Baro! Hong-bin! Baro!
Baro! Baro!
- Baro is so fast. - Wow Hong-bin.
That was neck-to-neck.
Hong-bin came in 2nd. but if his record is good. he can still compete in the finals.
First place got 7.88 seconds.
- VIXX's Hong-bin came in close. - They were only 0.07 seconds apart.
The second group for the men's 60-meter race will begin.
Please take your place on the track.
- This group is strong too. - There are a lot of good runners.
Set!
- They're off! - They're going. They're running.
Jo-ta looks good.
Woo-sung is the winner.
- Woo-sung is fast. - Woo-sung's victory ceremony.
- I guess the 3rd place well. - 7.41 seconds.
- 7.41 seconds. - That's an amazing record.
That's an amazing record.
- MADTOWN's Jo-ta got 7.68. - Woo-sung got a record that could challenge Min-hyuk.
This is the third group.
This group has a lot of newcomers.
I think Joo-Hun is going to win by a lot.
- What about Yoon Yeo-choon? - I think Kim Yoo-Jin. fourth lane.
- He's someone to watch out for. - He reminds me of Jang Jae-geun.
He competed in the 400-meter race when he was in elementary school.
- A runner? - Yea. a runner.
- You have to watch out for him. - So he's been running for a long time.
Get ready!
Just from the fact that he competed in the 400-meter race in elementary school.
Yoon Yeo-choon is predicting fourth lane. Kim Yoo-Jin. to win.
Set!
They're running.
- Fourth lane started late. But Joo-won's fast. - Joo-won's leading.
They're running.
- Fourth lane started late. But Joo-hun's fast. - Joo-hun's leading.
As expected. there was no twist. Joo-Hun wins.
When will Yoon Yeo-choon predict correctly?
Everyone watching. when will Yoon Yeo-choon predict correctly?
Why does it say here that he was a 400-meter runner?
Yoo-Jin actually slipped a little bit in the beginning.
- When he first started. he slipped a little. - Do you know why that happened?
It's because he said that he would come in first.
That's why he slipped.
I'm sweating a lot today from the preliminary rounds.
First place is Monsta X's Joo-Hun.
Second was KNK's Yoo-Jin.
The fourth group. Oh. Min-hyuk is in this group.
Oh third lane. Min-hyuk!
- He's fast. - Min-hyuk's fast.
- Min-hyuk! - He was a little faster.
That concludes the preliminary rounds of the men's 60-meter race.
Idol Star Athletics Championship!
Next up is...
rhythmic gymnastics!
Soon. the rhythmic gymnastics competition will begin.
Next up in the Idol Star Athletics Championship. we have prepared
rhythmic gymnastics.
It's our first time.
I'm nervous.
Joining us for commentary. she dreams of becoming like Yoon Yeo-choon.
She brought her Rio Olympics energy with her.
Commentator for rhythmic gymnastics. Cha Sang-eun. Welcome.
Hello. I'm Cha Sang-eun. and I helped coach everyone for the competition.
You were with the athletes from the very beginning?
Yes. One month to practice is such a short time.
But the idols learned really quickly.
And they passionately and diligently practiced.
From what I heard. some of the idol athletes
were almost as good as the Olympic gymnasts.
One of the company CEO's worried that his idol will quit and become a gymnast.
Yes. there were some girls that I really wanted to bring into gymnastics.
There were idol athletes that had really great potential.
Well. we should know the rules first to enjoy the competition.
Normally. there are five items. and gymnasts compete with four of them.
But for this competition. they only focused on one item.
They'll be performing for 1:15 to 1:30 minutes. and we created a scoring rubric.
They'll lose points if they cross the outer lines or drop their items.
Because it's the first time idols are competing in rhythmic gymnastics on TV.
whoever wins today. will probably be the reigning champion.
She'll take the title of being the idol version of Son Yeon-jae.
I'm sure everyone's curious who will be competing.
I was finally able to get the list that's so difficult to retrieve.
I'll introduce them now. You'll be surprised.
Heo Young-ji!
Chan-mi from AOA!
Cao Lu from Fiestar!
Mina from TWICE!
Ye-in from Lovelyz.
Eun-ji from Brave Girls.
Cheng Xiao from Cosmic Girls.
There are total seven participants.
- Cheng Xiao majored in dance. - She did.
We have high expectation of her.
There are some participants we didn't expect.
In our pre-game interviews. it was general consession that
Cheng Xiao is the most intimidating opponent among the participants.
Exactly.
We'll show you the reason for it a moment later.
Remember that she majored in dance.
She certainly has that advantage.
Right.
It's time to watch the game. (Rhythmic Gymnastics Round 1)
This is the very first rhythmic gymnastics of idols.
- I'm getting nervous. - Who'll be the first?
This is really exciting.
The first participant is entering the stadium.
- Who is it - Fiestar's Cao Lu.
Cao Lu!
Cao Lu.
- Wow. - She looks just like a real Olympian.
- It's amazing. - She's just like Son Yeon-jae.
- She chose hoop as her apparatus. - She's bringing hoop.
Cao Lu will be transformed into Frozen's Elsa for a while.
- It's the theme of Frozen? - Yes.
Though Cao Lu may look a bit cold and indifferent.
she's actually a very warm person once you talk to her.
That goes very well with the character of Elsa in Frozen.
This is going to be amazing.
(Together with a silvery hoop...)
(Jump)
(She easily completes the mastery movement and jump)
(Clasping tightly)
(Elsa's graceful movement)
(Advanced move)
She's getting ready.
That's a very difficult move.
That move was DER level. Yes.
That's a pretty high level move. right?
[Becoming one with the hoop]
[Making sure her expressions look good...]
She's doing a balance move right now.
Yes.
Oh she's caught it again.
[Now going towards the climax]
[Safely finishes the rolling move]
Yes. The rolling move was done very well.
No mistakes yet.
I'm very proud of her right now.
To do this in such a short amount of time.
[The result of passionate practice]
Yes. she's an athlete who has practiced so passionately.
Indeed.
Oh no. She just made a mistake.
[She still keeps her cool...]
-It's not easy to do those splits. -Oh she's getting up now.
Oh she just did her mastery move.
-Mastery level. -That was very good.
Yes. that move was mastery level.
She did that very well.
[1 minute 30 seconds of shining movement]
[The perfect Elsa]
-Yes! -Wow!
[This is the Winter Kingdom]
So she did have a slight mistake in the middle.
But she had a lot of high level moves.
Yes. yes. She did so well.
This event is actually a lot more difficult
than it looks when you're watching.
Why do I feel so sad all of a sudden?
-I know what you mean. -Yes.
I think there will be tears regardless of the results.
Since this is the result of practicing hard for a month.
Out of all the participating athletes.
she is actually the oldest one.
-There's an 11 year gap between her and the youngest. -That's correct.
Yes. I feel like crying after hearing that.
Alright then.
-Now we're waiting for the scores. -I really almost cried.
She's sitting next to her company's manager right now.
Is he the president?
Let's take a look at the screen.
She's rotating the hoop while turning her body here.
-Which is a mastery level move. -Mastery.
A very high level move.
-Yes. It's a move that's worth 0.3 points. -I see.
And right here since moving in sync with the music as if she was Elsa.
Acting as though she was sprinkling snow.
This is something we've seen a lot in variety shows.
-Yes. -Is this normal?
It's called a dance step combination.
This is a move where the athlete
does a dance step in sync with the music.
She did a very good job.
-Yes. -As expected of an idol.
She's very flexible.
Indeed.
-It feels like I'm watching the Olympics. -Yes.
Alright Mr. Eric Nam.
So right now.
you just started off our rhythmic gymnastics competition.
How was it?
I was actually more nervous than when I first debuted.
But even then.
I'm hoping my results will reflect how hard I practiced.
But because I made that mistake.
I'm a little disappointed.
I guess that mistake is really bothering her.
Alright then. The scores?
How many points did she get?
Let's look at them now.
For Cao Lu who transformed into Elsa from Frozen.
Difficulty 3.75 points.
Execution 7.3 points.
Her total score is 11.05 points.
There were no deductions.
-Yes. no deductions. -Yes.
That deduction category actually
refers to deductions made when crossing the line.
As for her execution score.
she was probably deducted for dropping the hoop.
The highest score you can get is 20 points?
-Yes. 20 points is the max. -Wow.
-So she got 11.05 out of 20. -Yes.
-Her scores came out very well. -Yes they did.
Yes. So now she's currently sitting on the throne for 1st place.
Please enjoy it.
The 2nd athlete for the rhythmic gymnastics event will now enter.
Heo Young-ji.
Okay. the next athlete is Heo Young-ji.
She's entering now. She looks very pretty.
Just like her image. athlete Heo Young-ji
has prepared a routine that shows off her bright
-and refreshing personality. -Yes.
Sounds good. She seems to have a good expression.
Yes. well athlete Heo Young-ji actually
-has not learned dance professionally. -That's what I've heard.
So she was lacking the basics that the other athletes already had.
But fortunately. she was able to control her
apparatus very well.
She's started with a bright song.
This song is called "Candyman".
[Overall concept: A colorful outfit and ribbon for her bright image]
She's caught it.
Wow. It looks very pretty.
-How cool. -That looks like a hard movement.
Yes. she has very good control over the ribbon.
-It does seem that way. -Yes.
The flow is very good.
She's very cute.
Yes. because she's been acting these days.
Her expressions are also very good.
She's very cute.
Oh yes!
[This is what you call ribbon magic]
[Binoculars ready]
-She needs to catch this. -Yes. she's caught it very well.
[High level move success]
-She needs to catch this. -Yes. she's caught it very well.
She did the DER level move well.
Catching that must be hard. too.
You're right. The stick is very thin.
-It is. isn't it? -It really isn't easy.
I also heard that Young-ji
-put a lot of effort into her body while practicing as well. -Indeed.
Yes. She actually paid quite a bit of attention into her diet.
And seeing her try so hard was very cute to watch.
There haven't been any visible mistakes yet.
Yes.
[You're such a sweet person...]
She's so cute.
She really is cute.
[A lively ribbon performance winning everyone's hearts]
[The last high level move]
Here is another high level move.
Oh no!
Here is another high level move.
Oh no!
[Cuteness that pops]
Wow she's adorable.
-She really adorable. -She's so pretty.
How can she be so cute? Is there no score of cuteness?
I think she'll be able to get a lot of points
when it comes to her expressions.
Exactly what I think as well.
For now. she's moving over to the interview zone.
-That was Heo Young-ji.
-Alright. -If you just look at this one movement.
It looks like a scene out of the Olympics.
Yes. she's doing her dance steps in sync with the music.
-She did a very good job. -Look at that. -Very good.
She just made a turn.
I heard she didn't sleep at all last night.
Yes. you're right.
She's caught it here.
She caught that very accurately.
Since it's so thin. it's not easy to be able to catch the stick.
You're absolutely right.
And her facial expressions were excellent.
Even Cao Lu is sending her applause.
We're seeing a lot of things we normally wouldn't see.
What were your favorite parts and disappointing parts?
Can you explain them to us?
Well. I feel like there's always a bit of disappointment in whatever you do.
But I've done it!
I did it. everyone!
Yes. you did. A round of applause.
-You worked very hard. -I heard she couldn't sleep from feeling so burdened.
Yes. but because this was such a new challenge for me.
I think I had a really fun time doing it.
Thank you very much.
We will now announce Heo Young-ji's scores.
In comparison to Cao Lu's scores.
Difficultly 2.5 points. Execution 6.8 points.
With no deductions. the total score is 9.3 points.
9.3 points.
So Cao Lu stays in first place.
Yes. A round of applause please.
Good work!
You worked very hard.
The 3rd athlete for the rhythmic gymnastics event will now enter.
Jung Ye-in of Lovelyz.
This is Jung Ye-in. The Lovelyz.
Oh it's a ball.
The apparatus this time is a ball.
That will be very hard.
I heard that she had a very hard time physically.
-Yes. she's the youngest athlete here today. -Yes. yes.
Her body is a bit on the weak side.
-So she had a bit of a tough time. -Yes.
But the basics of dancing have been deeply rooted in her long arms and legs.
So we planned a much more difficult routine.
She's starting now. Oh!
The song is "Sway" by the Pussycat Dolls.
[She doesn't let go of the slippery looking ball...]
[Balance that doesn't sway]
-She's caught it. -Yes. She's succeeded in her DER move.
Right now. it looks like the red ball.
Is making her outfit look even more intense.
Oh she's lost it.
-She must hurry! -Her outfit look even more intense.
[The most difficult move]
She's lost it.
-Hurry! -She needs to quickly grab it.
Yes. She's caught the ball before it went past the line.
-She avoided getting a deduction. -Exactly.
-Oh no... -It doesn't seem like it'll be easy.
[Making those watching her have sweaty palms...]
So they each chose the apparatus that they wanted.
-Right? -Yes.
They each chose the apparatus they liked the most.
Yes. Oh!
She's finished her mastery move very well.
What is a mastery level move?
It refers to mastery over the apparatus.
And it takes into consideration the risk of the move as well.
So it's a move that's both difficult and risky.
-A risky and high level move. -Exactly.
Her flexibility is very good.
[Captivating everyone with the ball]
As many deductions as there may be. she's also doing very high level moves.
-So she still has a chance. -Yes.
That mistake might cost her but as long as until the very end.
She stays very calm.
But her expressiveness is very good.
Yes! That was very good.
There were other apparatus like the hoop.
Or even the ribbon.
But the ball looked very difficult.
The ball is one of the more difficult apparatus.
And she did very well during rehearsals.
-Oh she did? -So it was a little sad to watch her now.
She must be very disappointed then.
We'll switch over to the screen now.
Because her arms and legs are so long and her basics are solid.
She tried to perform a very large scale. high level routine.
But quite unfortunately.
she ended up making a few mistakes.
I'm not too sure. but the ball seems to be the hardest.
Well yes. every apparatus has its difficult points.
But she made a mistake while attempting a difficult ball routine.
-Yes. -She tried to do mastery level moves even athletes have trouble with.
-Ah mastery... -She did them so well earlier so it's quite sad.
Even in the Olympics. mistakes like that do happen.
-Yes. you're right. -It happens.
Since she isn't a professional athlete.
Mistakes can happen.
And she also said she was so nervous.
-I'm sure she was. -Oh that man next to her looks very familiar. Her manager.
-Yes. we've seen him a lot on 1 Night. 2 Days. -Yes.
Alright. Eric Nam.
Yes. I'm with athlete Jung Ye-in of the Lovelyz.
How did you feel about your performance today?
I did make some mistakes.
But it was really fun.
I'm satisfied.
And I have no regrets.
That kind of mindset is what's important.
Your concept today was femme fatale.
I'll give you once last chance to seduce everyone.
So go ahead and make an expression that will seduce everyone.
Show us your femme fatale.
Femme fatale.
Wow.
Femme fatale.
Jung Ye-in.
Wow. The fans are going crazy.
Yes.
Here are the difficulty and execution scores.
And along with the deductions. the total score.
Will she be able to take over as the new first place?
We're waiting for the results.
The manager also looks like he's very tense.
Mr. Lee Eun-suk.
-The mastery level move mistake was very unfortunate. -Oh 10 points!
Difficulty 3.8 points. Execution 7.1 points.
She had no deductions but her final score is 10.9 points.
And Cao Lu stays in first place.
Good work.
Very good work.
The 4th athlete for the rhythmic gymnastics event will now enter.
Chan-mi of AOA.
It's Chan-mi from AOA.
Alright then.
Until now. Chan-mi has given off
a very strong vibe within AOA.
Even on her first day here. she showed off her hip hop moves.
But we supplemented her powerfulness with softness.
and worked hard to created a surprise for everyone.
She's in position to start now.
She's starting now.
The boy idols behind are watching with their mouths open.
It's understandable.
Oh she's starting off very powerful.
[Overall concept: A mixture of powerfulness with femininity]
She's keeping calm and doing a good job.
She's caught it. It looks like she's confident.
She needs to quickly twirl the ribbon.
Her movements have slowed down a bit.
[Slowing down the speed of her ribbon twirling...]
[This time?]
Wow.
-Oh this is. -Oh no!
It would've been good if she caught it.
[A flower blooming bigger and bigger]
[A big leap with her long legs]
-Now putting her mistake aside. -Yes.
Oh it's gotten faster.
Yes. her dance steps look good. too.
[A different song for a surprise]
[A mixture of two contrasting songs]
Her movements look really big.
Yes. it really does.
-Yes. she's got it. -It's a DER level.
She did the DER level move very well.
["You can do it. Chan-mi..."]
[She consistently kept practicing]
The tape on her leg shows just how much she's been practicing.
Indeed it does. There is quite a bit of tape.
[Proof of her efforts]
Think about the strain on her body.
I'm sure it must've been hard on her.
The final.
-Yes! -Wow.
-Wow! -A strong finish.
Well. there was a small mistake.
But she had a lot of high level moves.
She did a very good job.
Just as you can see the taping on her legs.
She practiced quite a lot and put in a lot of effort.
Actually. in the beginning. she had a hard time with the acrobatics.
So she even trained elsewhere and tried very hard.
She went to a gymnastics school.
And trained there on her own. That's how hard she tried.
That's serious determination.
-It's just like you said earlier. -Yes.
I heard her manager was especially happy about her doing rhythmic gymnastics.
Yes. because it's a sport that uses your entire body. it shapes it very prettily.
It automatically helps you diet and tone your entire body.
Yes. she's attempting the DER level move here.
-Yes. -What is a DER level move?
So she throws the apparatus.
And she does it while she turns.
-That's a DER level move? -That's correct.
It's a move where you throw the apparatus while turning and catch it.
Since we lowered the grading standards.
it's a little less strict than with actual pro athletes.
-So it's less strict. -Yes. we adjusted it accordingly.
-Moves like this. -This was really interesting.
Using a part of your body that's not
your hand to throw the apparatus far away.
That's another difficult move.
The manager looks extremely proud of her right now.
He looks like he's sure she's won the gold medal.
-That. too. But... -He looks like her coach.
I'm with athlete Chan-mi from AOA right now.
I really enjoyed watching you today.
I feel like I was able to fully show the surprise concept.
And that was probably one of my favorite moments of today.
And if. let's say you do win first place.
It says you made a promise?
If I were to win first place.
I will wear this outfit and these shoes and walk around Hongdae.
Her manager's expression just got darker.
What do you think about this?
We have another recording scheduled.
-Of course it's a no. -Who has a recording all day?
-They're saying the scores are out. -Got it.
Currently Cao Lu is in first place with 11.05 points.
Yes.
What will her score be?
Difficulty 3.05 points. Execution 7.0 points.
No deductions and her score is 10.05 points.
She is now in third place.
Wow Cao Lu!
-She's still in first place. -She still keeping it.
Things are going differently from her predictions.
I heard Hye-ri prepared a special stage. too?
I did?
-Yes. -Please quickly prepare for your stage. -Yes. yes.
The 5th athlete for the rhythmic gymnastics event will now enter.
Eun-ji of the Brave Girls.
This is Eun-ji from the Brave Girls.
It looks like she's wearing the official uniform.
Yes. she is wearing the official gymnastics uniform.
She looks like a real gymnast.
But the outfit fits her very well.
It says that she learned how to do acrobatics?
Yes. so her flexibility is excellent.
And her flexible body movements are great.
Also. when this athlete's routine begins.
It'll feel like you're watching a musical.
So you can watch for that.
A performance like a musical.
Will now begin.
Wow look at her. She looks very charismatic.
Her dance steps are very good.
Her expressiveness is quite amazing.
-She just jumped! -She's so flexible.
That's amazing.
Her balance is also very nice and her body lines are pretty.
Her balance lines are pretty.
[Flexibility!]
[A red ribbon drawing on the floor]
[Confidence that grew from lots of practice]
Her body movements are very flexible.
Very flexible.
This routine shows the harmony between the movement and the music.
-It does seem that way. -She's doing a very good job expressing that.
She needs to pull this off well.
-She needs to catch it. -Ah she misses it.
That was a mastery level move. right?
That's correct. But there was a little mistake.
There will be deductions on execution.
It's not very easy.
If she had caught that.
She would've beat the record.
Yes. she caught that very well.
[Success]
Yes. she caught that very well.
[Bravo]
[Her confidence seems to have returned...]
It's very pretty.
Yes. it's a fouett? pivot.
-She's practiced this very hard. -What was the move called?
The pivot she just did was the fouett? pivot.
It's athlete Son Yeon-jae's specialty.
-Oh yes! -That was done very well.
Wow!
I'm sure it's the same for the other athletes.
But I heard Eun-ji was especially passionate about this.
Yes. she actually chose the music herself.
-And even edited the music herself. -Yes.
And her improvement after every practice was clearly visible.
So she was an athlete I was very proud of.
It seems like she's tearing up a bit as well.
I'm sure she can't help it.
That one mistake was quite unfortunate.
We can see her highlights now.
Look at her facial expressions.
-She's making expressions like a pro athlete. -Yes.
She's also extremely flexible.
Yes. I'm not sure if it's because they're all idols.
They were all perfect with their facial expressions.
Since they've been on stage so many times.
She does a double jump here.
Yes. She just performed a jump series.
-She jumped so high. -Yes. the higher the better.
-Oh we saw this earlier. -Yes.
-Her balance was good. -Was this the mastery level move?
-She's performing the DER level move. -Oh DER level.
-She's caught it very well. -Yes.
-It looks quite fun. -Yes.
You want to learn that?
Her passion is very apparent.
-Her passion for this was amazing. -Yes.
Even putting this much effort should be really difficult.
She just did the fouett? pivot right there. The fouett? pivot.
-Yes. It's her specialty. right. -Yes.
Just how amazing is it that Son Yeon-jae is 4th in the world?
Yes. you're absolutely right.
I was told that you secretly even went to a school to train?
From my sources.
Just how much did you prepare for this?
I really...
While I was preparing for this routine.
I really forget that my occupation was a singer.
And I really lived just for rhythmic gymnastics.
I really lived with a ribbon in my hand 24 hours a day.
-Oh. -Yes.
The practice really paid off.
Right now. because things have finally ended.
I feel kind of weird.
And I also feel a little overwhelmed.
Yes... I just feel so relieved!
Right now. she seems to be very...
Overwhelmed with emotion.
She really put in a lot of effort.
We'll see if the results will reflect her efforts.
They're saying the scores are finally out.
We will now announce the scores.
3.25 points. 7.45 points. And no deductions.
A total score of 10.7 points.
-And Cao Lu continues to stay in first place. -That's correct.
You worked very hard. Eun-ji. Yes.
Good work.
Cao Lu.
Then that means that Cao Lu is guaranteed a bronze medal
no matter what. right?
Yes. since there are only 2 more athletes left.
The 6th athlete for the rhythmic gymnastics will now enter.
Mina of Twice.
This is Mina from Twice.
She's getting a lot of applause.
She's going to be using the hoop.
Look at the way she walks.
Wait I've seen this before on TV during the Olympics!
If you look at her. she looks like a black swan.
She really looks like one. doesn't she?
-Because she's been practicing so much with a hoop. -Yes.
The fans have been able to catch her holding the hoop quite a bit.
Yes. that's correct. In the case of Mina.
she actually studied ballet for 11 years.
So her hand and feet movements are very elegant.
And her training is very evident.
She was also especially talented in learning how to control the apparatus.
It was to the extent where I wanted to grow her as a rhythmic gymnast.
So Mina is the athlete worth fighting for.
You know how Cheng Xiao was picked as the most
likely to win first place by the others?
That Cheng Xiao chooses Mina as the one to win first place.
The one who Cheng Xiao picked is Mina.
[Cheering even before her routine begins]
Oh I'm feeling all tense.
Swan Lake has started to play.
[Overall concept: An elegant outfit and gold hoop to express a black swan.]
Her attitude pivot form is very good.
As expected of a former ballerina. her form is accurate and nice.
Yes.
[An elegant black swan...]
Her balance move was very good.
The balance move was good.
And her jump was good as well.
Here's the DER level move.
Ah! She missed the DER move.
This really isn't that easy.
[Staying focused without swaying]
No one has succeeded doing that DER move.
But we won't know how things will go until the very end.
She needs to grab that. Yes.
[2nd mistake in a row]
She just attempted a mastery level move.
-A DER move. -It's very unfortunate.
-Yes. -Both the DER level and mastery level moves...
Had some mistakes.
Yes. her fouett? balance was very good.
Yes.
Yes. She's succeeded in her DER level move.
[The black swan's elegant movements]
[Ends somewhat sadly...]
Yes.
The DER level and mastery level moves...
Both had a few mistakes.
It was such a high level routine.
But the deductions are unavoidable.
Well during her rehearsal stage.
she showed a very perfect performance.
Yes. I feel so bad for her right now.
Actual performances really are different from rehearsals.
Even during her practices. she's never made this many mistakes before.
-Never. She normally doesn't make any mistakes. -Yes. yes.
She also seems to be very disappointed right now.
-She must be very sad. -Yes. very sad.
-Yes. -It looks like she's crying.
She's been working so hard for this.
But during the actual performance.
she made unexpected mistakes.
She really prepared a lot to look like
a single black swan.
Let's take a look.
She's acting as a black swan here.
Yes. her fingertips looks very nice right now.
And her attitude form is very good.
-Since she's studied ballet. her form is even nicer. -That's right.
She had a very good start.
The things that went well during practice. the skills you had.
-You get really nervous. -On the actual stage. because of nerves.
-A month for 1 and a half minutes. -It's very sad.
-Yes. -She practiced a lot.
-Having a hard time seeing the hoop you threw up in the air. -Yes.
I feel really sad for her.
-Yes. -But we watched her do her best until the very end.
-I'm sure she's the most disappointed. -Yes. I want to clap for her.
A round of applause.
For Mina of Twice.
Alright. Eric Nam.
Yes. I'm currently with Twice's Mina.
To start. Mina.
You worked very hard. And I noticed while you walked over here.
that your expression looked very odd. How do you feel right now?
I was able to make it through rehearsals yesterday with no mistakes.
But having things turn out like this on a one time stage.
It makes me very sad.
I feel like sports are very cruel.
Yes.
Because I...
Learned ballet for a very long time.
My group members had high expectations for me.
Here. It's alright.
The scores aren't out yet.
It was a very stunning performance.
-The Twice members are clapping for her. -Sending their applause.
Goodness. they're all crying with her.
Her effort alone is gold medal level.
Is Jeong-yeon crying? Yes.
The Twice members are crying together.
Alright the scores... Wait why are you crying. Hye-ri?
Excuse me?
-Are you Twice? -She did so well.
Yes. Hye-ri is also crying.
I think I understand them.
They're crying because they understand.
[Footage from practice rehearsal right before]
[Perfectly succeeds at mastery]
[The blinding movements of the elegant black swan]
[Her practice run that was clean enough to raise goosebumps]
[This is what she was used to showing...]
They say the scores are out. Yes.
I really feel so sad.
A month of practice for 1 and a half minutes today.
She tried very hard.
We'll see if her results reflect all her efforts. Ah Twice.
They're all crying.
Since they know how much their friend worked.
-Yes. -Yes.
Difficultly was 2.9 points. Execution 7.5 points.
She had a 0.6 points deduction.
She got 9.8 points. She's now in fifth.
What's the reason for that 0.6 deduction?
Yes. so both the apparatus and the athlete
went outside of the lines.
-Oh. when she went to grab the hoop. -Yes.
She really put in a lot of effort.
I feel so bad. Yes.
And her fans and viewers at home should know.
Let's once again send a round of applause to Mina of
-Twice who gave a great performance. -Yes. Mina.
-You worked very hard. -Very hard indeed.
Alright. we're at the finale of the rhythmic gymnastics.
This is the final competition.
She's the one that most of the
other idols were most
afraid of.
And were trembling in front of her.
Yes. she's the one everyone else feared.
The most fear athlete.
I think this will become the highlight.
The 7th athlete for the rhythmic gymnastics event will now enter.
Cheng Xiao of Cosmic Girls.
Alright. Cheng Xiao will be the last one to heat up the stage.
Yes. I hope she has a performance with no regrets.
Yes.
She's the most feared athlete chosen by the Idol Championship gymnasts.
-All the other strong contenders. -Yes.
-Made quite a bit of mistakes. -Yes.
So they haven't ranked high.
I hope she doesn't make any mistakes.
Yes. I hope that she focuses until the end.
And gets through the event well.
I've been told her concept is the traditional rhythmic gymnast.
Yes. Apparently her dream as a child was to be a rhythmic gymnast.
-And she's studied dance. -Yes.
-She's really an athlete I'd want for myself. -Yes.
And even the difficult mastery level moves.
She was able to follow them very quickly.
We'll be looking forward to that.
-Yes. -Wow.
-Alright. -That was the deep balance move. She's doing very well.
Her flexibility is excellent. isn't it?
Yes. she is quite flexible.
Her flexibility is excellent. isn't it?
Yes. she is quite flexible.
Her nickname is the next Victoria.
-Her flexibility is really something. -It really is.
She's calmly finished her DER level move.
DER level move.
Yes. her attitude pivot was also very good.
-How flexible. -I can feel it.
People are going crazy behind her.
Yes. that was a mastery level move.
That was amazing.
People are going crazy behind her.
Yes. that was a mastery level move.
That was amazing.
[All 3 thousand eyes on her]
Her jump was good.
-She hasn't made any mistakes yet. right? -Yes.
She's doing very well right now.
-Yes. -What is she doing?
[Mastery level move success]
-Yes. -What is she doing?
Yes. that�s a mastery level move.
Are you sure she's not a pro athlete?
-Wow! -She needs to catch it!
-She's caught it. -She's amazing!
Are you sure this isn't the Olympics?
Has Cao Lu given up?
[Will she make it to the end with no deductions?]
-She's caught it. -It feels like the Olympics.
Yes. she's doing a very good job until the end.
This was a flawless performance.
[Perfect Finish]
-That was amazing. -Yeah!
[Everyone was shocked at Cheng Xiao's performance]
[1 minute 30 second was too short]
-That was amazing. -Yeah!
It looked like she didn't make a single mistake.
Even with the final acrobatic move. she did so well.
-Is this really something.... -Yes?
That's possible on the Idol Championships?
Yes. do you see why I wanted her?
Yes. I see it now.
Cao Lu has already lifted her butt off of the chair.
-Wow. -She's say she'll give up her seat.
Yes.
-It was impossible not to get shocked. -Yes.
Cheng Xiao! Cheng Xiao! Cheng Xiao!
Cheng Xiao! Cheng Xiao!
It makes sense why Mrs. Cha Sang-eun would try
-and hide athlete Cheng Xiao's skills. -Indeed.
Well. I didn't really hide them.
There's just no need for explanation.
Even if they were found out. no one could copy them anyway.
Right here.
-Can you explain in detail? -Yes. she's rolling the ball.
While doing a dance step combination.
Yes. she needs to hold this for 8 seconds.
First off. her body is very flexible.
That's right. Now she's doing the DER level move
very calmly and very well.
When she turns.
Her attitude moves as she turns are also very good.
Her form is also very good.
She's is a very flexible athlete.
Her expression is so calm. too.
-Here's she's rolling the ball. -Yes.
-Wow. -Rolling it behind her.
A well executed flexibility move after a attitude pivot.
Goodness. How is this possible?
-Yes. her jump was very good as well. -Yes.
-At the end. -Yes.
Her final acrobatic move was good as well.
Her manager seems to be
very happy.
-How happy must he be? -Of course that's a given.
And for a singer to do this.
-Oh goodness. -Goodness.
The Cosmic Girls are crying. They're all crying.
They know how hard Cheng Xiao worked.
Yes. she did work very hard. And it was very difficult as well.
Yes. But her flexibility was just so great.
She's also tearing up from getting emotional.
-Yes. She did a very good job. -Good job.
-And Hyeri is crying again. -I'm not.
Alright. Eric Nam.
Yes. I am currently with athlete Cheng Xiao from Cosmic Girls.
Cheng Xiao.
it looks like you're tearing up a bit.
How do you feel right now?
To be honest. I couldn't really practice a lot because of our comeback.
But if I did this well. I can be satisfied with this.
You weren't able to practice much.
-but still managed to do this well. -She's humble. too.
Say a few words for your members please.
Cosmic Girls!
I love you!
-Oh my goodness. -They're crying.
[A floor of tears flowing through the Idol Championships]
Then while you were practicing.
All the Cosmic Girls are crying.
-They're all crying. -Why is everyone crying?
It's making me sad. too. Did you practice together?
Did the Cosmic Girls practice. too?
Why're they crying when they're not the ones who did it?
But they watched Cheng Xiao practice.
-Every single day. -Goodness.
-If you aren't crying right now. it makes you look weird. -Exactly.
-You have to cry together. -Otherwise you aren't close.
You have to cry first.
Can you express with your body how you feel about finishing your routine?
-With my body? -With your body.
Alright. so her nickname is the next Victoria. She's very flexible.
Please show us an action that shows how flexible you are.
[Human folder]
She's folder! A folder!
A folder that bends backwards.
Wow. A big round of applause.
Her manager is in shock right now.
Mr. Kim Kang-hyo. I know that expression.
He's worried right now.
Oh! Cao Lu's telling her to go.
-Cao Lu's saying to go and sit. -The scores aren't out yet. though.
Wait why. Cao Lu.
-Cao Lu! -What is going on? -Cao Lu!
Hey Cao Lu?
There's an empty seat all of a sudden!
The first person to sit there gets gold?
Cao Lu. please go back. Please go back.
Please go back since the scores aren't out yet.
-Yes. that's true. -Yes.
Cao Lu. you were in first place until now. Why did you suddenly...
Leave your seat? How did you feel while watching?
Right when I saw Cheng Xiao's performance.
during her performance.
-I just got that feeling. -Yes?
That I was acting like the queen when the real queen was right here.
You were acting like the queen?
Yes. and that's why I really felt...
A bit embarrassed.
And I felt that I should move out of the way.
-Well for now. -Yes.
You know I'm a person that really...
Knows how to take a hint.
So I left on my own first.
Cao Lu.
Until the scores come out. I'd like you to continue being the queen.
-Yes. -Okay. I will.
-She's so cute. Very cute. -I got it.
They're saying the scores are out.
She showed us such a perfect performance.
And she put in a lot of work.
-13 points! -Wow!

-The gold medal! -She wins the gold!
Cosmic Girls!
Using the ball which is a very difficult apparatus.
She's taken first place.
Goodness.
You've worked very hard.
Even though they were busy with their comeback.
she managed to practice hard all month long.
You worked very hard.
So the gold medal.
Cheng Xiao of Cosmic Girls has taken first place with 13 points.

[Not even an inch of giving in]
-That's very good. -Oh!
That's 10 points!
As expected. staying calm on the last arrow.
This is the last arrow.
This one arrow can change who gets what medal.
