The1st round of voting continues until the end of 1st assessment.
Unit Makers, please join us to pick the best members.
(Shortly,)
(we'll reveal the interim votes for the units you have selected.)
Here is the first schedule for the perfect Unit.
This is your first mission.
(This is The Unit's first mission.)
(Be the performer of a music video of the budget, 500,000 dollars.)
(The budget is 500,000 dollars.)
How am I going to do this?
I thought it has finally begun.
(The units will practice singing and dancing for 3 days together.)
(A male and female performer who win the 1st place will be in the video.)
(And there's another assignment.)
(Within 3 days, they must master "My Turn", "Shine", and "Light".)
(Can they perfectly master 3 songs within 3 days?)
(KBS Human Resources Development Institute)
(The training camp of 126 performers of The Unit will be held here.)
I've never done something like this before.
I'm happy to spend my time with other performers.
I feel like I'm on a retreat.
I'm nervous.
I'm curious to find out how things will unfold.
(They push away their worry about the mission for now.)
(They're excited for a new start.)
This is nice.
- My gosh! - Hello.
- No way! - He's surprised again.
This looks like... I don't know how to describe it.
Hello?
Oh, my. It's you.
This is our first day of the training camp.
(The training camp of 126 performers starts!)
I thought it was a hotel.
- The blankets... - They are so comfortable.
- I want to live here. - I knew KBS was the best.
- Hey, it's nice. Look at the bed. - My gosh.
- We have beds. - Hey,
- this is amazing. - It's like a hotel room.
We have a humidifier and towels.
We also have a TV.
(Checking the bed is essential.)
- The bed is so cushiony. - This is great.
- Everyone gets a bed! - No way.
- It's the best. - I like it here.
The bed is like a bed of clouds.
(Day 1 of the training camp in the practice studio of each unit)
Don't let this intimidate you.
She's the leader.
(Yang Ji Won is the leader of Unit Black.)
Thank you.
(Yu Jeong of Laboum)
Ji Won, come here.
(Serri chose Ji Won right away.)
All I thought about was forming the best unit,
so I was sweeping the room...
and grabbed Ji Won.
(She scouted Ji Won right away.)
We have Ji Won of Spica.
I felt like our unit had the support of a thousand troops.
I really like her.
(With Ji Won whom they can rely on...)
- Let's do this! - We can do it!
(Unit Black feels ready.)
(Unit Yang, go for it!)
Does anyone here have experience in creating choreography?
I do. I'll take full responsibility of the choreography.
- Yes! - That was so cool!
(She's the leader of a hip hop girl group, Wassup.)
(Na Ri is the queen of powerful dance moves.)
I know that she's been dancing for a long time.
(She copies the moves right away.)
She managed to copy the moves very quickly.
I got it. I finished memorizing.
(Na Ri is a dependable copier of choreography.)
- Yes! - Awesome.
She's indispensable right now.
(ZN of Laboum)
Do it while you face the mirror.
Let's try it with the song. If you need help, please ask me.
- She's reliable. - She's good.
1, 2, 3, 4.
(Their practice goes smoothly with Na Ri in the center.)
Two.
(Their practice goes smoothly with Na Ri in the center.)
- Great work, everyone! - Excellent work.
I met Ha Yoon in the elevator a while ago.
She told me that they're learning the moves for the chorus.
But our unit finished learning all the moves.
Our unit is in first place.
(Laughing)
(Unit Orange seems to have an unusual presence.)
(Ha Yoon is a trot singer.)
(Kim is a rapper.)
(Mint is from Thailand.)
(Bo Mi belongs to a Chinese girl group.)
(A Reum used to be T-ara.)
(Hyo Sun seems intimidating.)
- I have a girl crush on her. - I agree.
- I do too. - Our nickname is Girl Crush.
Why don't I become your personal trainer?
(Meanwhile, these two performers aren't familiar with this concept.)
(Those performers are Hyun Joo and Joo Hyun.)
(Glancing)
I just found the situation interesting.
I usually take photos like this, but they wanted to pose like this.
They said we should pose like this. Gosh, I can't do the poses they did.
I was so lost. I did have a bit of a hard time.
- What should we do? - Since we're all sitting down,
how about selecting the leader for our unit?
(They seem interested.)
Anyone who wants to lead our unit should...
raise your hand on the count of 3.
- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
(Me!)
- No one else wants to do it? - I'd like to try.
I'm usually good at leading people.
When I was active with my former group,
I couldn't lead the group since I joined rather later.
I sort of got my wish with this unit.
Shouldn't we choose the one in the middle first?
The one in the center plays an important role.
- We must give it a lot of thought. - I agree.
I want Joo Hyun to take the center spot...
because the one in the center will be dancing in front of the group.
(Joo Hyun dominated the stage with her amazing dance moves.)
- I want Hyun Joo to take the spot. - Me too.
(Hyun Joo demonstrated sweet and bubbly charms.)
Show us the move you can dance the best and with confidence.
- I get what you're saying. - We should have three battles.
- In that way, we'll be surer. - That's right.
My goodness.
- Is this an audition or what? - I want your eyes dance with you.
We love you, Hyun Joo!
(Hyun Joo shows her cute charms.)
No, no, no, no
She's so different.
(Joo Hyun competes against her charms with charisma.)
- She was so powerful. - Good job!
- Well done. - That was amazing.
She was good.
(That was amazing.)
(Which one did the majority choose?)
Okay. Hyun Joo should take the spot.
It's Hyun Joo. Okay.
- But she was so good though. - Everyone is good here.
- Thank you. - You must take responsibility now.
Just work hard, okay?
I'm really happy to get the spot, but I thought at the same time,
I must take that much of responsibility and work hard.
(Unit Red of male performers was created.)
That unit consists of performers with Super Boot and Six Boots.
(Lee Geon of 6 Boots)
(Ki Jung of Super Boot)
I'd say it's Feeldog's unit.
Unit Red.
I'm scared of Unit Red.
That unit has the best performers.
Do you want to join our unit?
(Will there be the perfect unit from the first mission?)
There are so many talented performers in the unit.
I do feel like they might become the faces of the music videos.
They are our biggest threat.
Those great performers formed a unit together.
Jerks.
(He swears at them.)
(They are known as the Avengers of The Unit.)
(A strategist with broad shoulders came up...)
(with this big plan.)
I must be in the music video.
(He's the strategist of the Avengers Unit.)
I'm happy.
(Timoteo, the strategist)
(This is the first meeting of Unit Red.)
(Are they practicing the act of silence?)
(Ji Han Sol)
(Timoteo of Hotshot)
Everyone was shy.
I'm very shy.
- You've never seen them before. - That's right.
- I heard you're quite shy. - Yes, I am.
(In the end, Feeldog joined the interview to loosen up Han Sol.)
I wanted to look cool when I was doing it.
Should we shout a slogan together?
- Slogan? - Let's do that one.
- Oh, right. - We made one. Do you remember?
No one would take charge.
So Dong Hyun said that...
we shouldn't be shy toward each other.
- Don't be shy, shy, shy! - Don't be shy, shy, shy!
1, 2, and...
(Making unintelligible sounds)
This is how it's going to be. Don't lose balance. Later on,
put your hand like this.
Okay.
- Bend your knee. - One.
(Making unintelligible sounds)
(However, they follow his lead well.)
(After practicing for a while, they play the song.)
(Even Feeldog is surprised at how fast they're learning the moves.)
I learned he was true to his reputation.
I did feel that he was able to keep things balanced.
(In no time, they finish learning the choreography.)
- Everyone, good job today. - Great session.
- Good work. - That was great.
Are we really done?
- Hey, I didn't know that. - Rock-paper-scissors.
- Let's try that. - Rock-paper-scissors.
(Did they really meet today for the first time?)
(Kanto and Ki Jung)
(They can't forget about dancing when having fun.)
(Feeldog of Big Star)
- Come on. - Feeldog.
("How Avengers Play")
(Lee Geon of Madtown)
(What happened to their shyness?)
I love my members.
(Good job to whoever picked them.)
They're the best.
We have to practice for the music video.
Right.
I wouldn't say the moves themselves are challenging,
but there are just a lot of powerful moves.
It makes me believe it'd be hard to deliver those moves well.
Even so, we have...
these two gentlemen to help us.
(Se Yong appealed to the audience by dancing.)
You and Feeldog are considered rivals.
Actually, as it happens, he and I will be working together.
(Eui Jin made himself as the newcomer of this rivalry.)
(Rain predicted their competition would be entertaining to watch.)
Congratulations!
All right.
- Thank you. - Okay.
Be honest.
This might come across as arrogant, but I'm not worried.
I think we would make a great unit.
Our unit isn't bad.
I don't think we'd fall behind Unit Red.
Feeldog is such a good dancer.
How could he be so good at dancing?
I'm sure he memorized all the moves.
How would I know that?
He's in your group.
Feeldog is probably done, right?
- Hello, we're a band called Mas. - Hello, we're a band called Mas.
Since all of us are in a band,
if there's anyone of you who would want to help us with the dance,
- Please join our unit. - we'd be eternally grateful.
(Dae Won reached out first.)
(Unit White was formed.)
(Which units can you beat?)
Unit White.
The one Dae Won is in.
I think Dae Won's unit...
They are in a band, not dancers.
I heard they were in a bad.
They used to perform as a band.
He's probably teaching people who haven't learned how to dance.
I'm worried for them.
(Which units can you beat?)
Do you think we can beat any?
(No unit is easy for us to beat.)
Rivals? No way. Right now, we feel like...
we're in a foreign country.
They are so different from us.
I'll lead our unit although I might need a lot of help from you.
(By an unanimous decision, Dae Won is selected as the leader.)
(Grinning)
Can't you guess how I'm feeling by the look of it?
With this badge, I feel like I earned the Super Boot.
I know it's a different letter.
It's been a while since I had to learn choreography.
1, 2.
(Since they're new to dancing, he slowly repeats the moves.)
Yes. You're good.
You guys are good.
- He's encouraging us. - That was great.
I know how I'm going to lead them.
Instead of just practicing all the time,
I want to give them a lot of positive energies.
I believe words of encouragement work wonders.
Spin your wrist, point, and push.
Point and push. That was great.
(He compliments their every move.)
We just did a simple move.
- You guys are great. - Okay, we're doing good.
I meant every word. You guys are awesome.
- We can do this. - Yes, we can do this!
- I think we can do this. - I believe we can do this.
There's nothing we can't do.
I thought he was an angel.
(With the mindset of a noble educator,)
(he educates the young minds.)
You're great.
(Even the time to change is precious.)
(He is like a teacher even in their rooms.)
It's like this.
(They're practicing again, using the window as a mirror.)
(While the other teams are sleeping deeply at their rooms)
Let me show you.
That's enough.
(After 3 days of training camp)
(Final evaluation D-day)
We're here to elect the first face of The Unit.
We're all going to join forces and win the first place.
I was thinking that I won't accept anything but the first place.
(How will we elect the lead of the music video "My Turn"?)
(After seeing 7 performances from men and female teams,)
(126 performers will vote for 1 male and 1 female team.)
(But they can't vote for their own team.)
Our colleagues have to vote for us.
It's not easy to get...
votes from our competition.
There's a slight psychological warfare.
I don't want to lose.
(We will start the first mission for The Unit)
(They will perform while the mentors and colleagues are watching.)
Team Black, please come up to the stage if you're ready.
Personally, I'm really looking forward to this team.
There are...
a lot of amazing vocals on this team.
(Ji Won, Woohee of Dalshabet)
(Yu Jeong of Laboum)
They can also dance.
I have high expectations.
(Team Black, Practice room)
1, 2, 3, turn.
(They are focusing on practice with Na Ri in the center.)
(They made a lot of progress just in one day.)
(Ji Won is one beat late.)
- Let's do it one more time. - Okay.
I'm slow at learning choreography.
I'm going to continue practicing later.
Ji Won is the leader,
but Na Ri and Serri is teaching the choreography.
Ji Won was feeling very sorry...
because she was slow at learning the choreography.
You can do this diagonally.
- Like this? - Yes.
Why can't I do the basics?
I felt sorry because I was...
the only one being so slow.
(Smacking)
(A suspicious sound is coming from the empty practice room.)
The supplements I'm taking are too strong.
(After recharging energy)
She was practicing alone without eating anything.
It broke my heart.
Gather to the place where you received the 1st mission until 2pm.
- Suddenly? - Interim evaluation is like this.
(Really?)
What is this?
(Is this really the interim evaluation?)
(They gathered without a clue.)
(A guest suddenly came without a warning.)
- Hello. - Hello.
(Kim Hwa Yeong and Jung Seung Tak, Choreographer)
I'm sure that this is the interim evaluation. What should I do?
My heart was racing.
Team Black.
(How much have they finished in one day?)
(Ji Won is a beat late.)
If I just see your faces,
you look like singers who rank first place in Music Bank.
Your faces look like you're so good at dancing.
Where did all the movement go?
You have a dropout, and she's lost over there.
You have to do it together.
(Team Black received harsh remarks.)
This mission isn't for one person.
(ZN of Laboum)
I'm doing this thinking that this is my last chance.
I'm really desperate.
So many thoughts ran through my head. How can I be the leader?
Let's just repeat from the start.
Won't it be better counting the beat?
- Together? - Yes.
I think we should memorize the moves first, and turn around and practice.
It might be different for you, but it's worse for me...
when you repeat the music when you make a mistake.
What's the problem?
- They have different ideas. - Let's practice the formation.
(Ji won wants to practice the formation first.)
- Look at the person beside you. - Think about your legs.
(Think about your legs.)
Think that there's another set of legs in front of you.
(Sensing the atmosphere)
(The atmosphere suddenly became cold.)
It would be a lie if I said that it wasn't hard.
There are some girls who are slow learners.
If we adjust the progress to them,
the others have to slow down...
and that's harder and it makes people more tired.
I felt that people detected me and were saying,
"Is that all she can do?"
I just hated myself.
("My Turn" by Team Black)
(Will Team Black show progress?)
(This is a 100 percent live performance without any chorus.)
(Woohee of Dalshabet)
(Serri of Dalshabet)
Ji Won, you're not dancing right now.
Think if that was a public TV show.
That's a serious problem.
My team members trusted me and said that...
they were happy to be on my team.
I felt that I didn't do a good job being the leader.
I was sorry because of that.
I was also embarrassed.
Team White, please come up on stage.
(The second performance is Team White.)
1, 2, 3.
- Lucky 9, Hello. - Lucky 9, Hello.
Welcome.
(Lee Su Ji)
Who do you think is the best performer of your team?
Janey, please pick one person.
(Where is everyone looking at?)
- I think it's Anne. - Really?
(She's trying to not smile.)
She's young, but she's confident and has good facial expressions.
Honestly,
Anne feels like a fighter right now.
Her face looks like she's saying,
"I want to show people something"... before she's on the ring.
(Anne of S.I.S joined with 5 boots.)
(The 2nd day of camp)
(A regular morning in the girl group's rooms.)
(My body remembers.)
(She suddenly gets up.)
(You will look at me You will start to get to know me)
(Anne is the 1st person...)
(to arrive at the training room.)
I'll practice hard to help my group members.
(She focuses on the choreography video.)
(Anne practices alone.)
- What should we adjust? - I don't know, what should we do?
I looked at the details in the morning.
- Can I teach you? - Yes.
- Okay. - Raise your arm like this.
- Until your forearm. - My forearm.
- Okay. - Wrap your hand like this.
- To the front? - Yes.
After you do this, gather your legs like this.
- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
Anne is the youngest.
But she is very mature.
Even if she is younger, she is reliable.
She's admirable.
- How? - Do it like this.
Like this?
(She actively teaches the choreography to her team.)
Since I'm the youngest and the center of the team,
I practiced hard because I wanted to be good.
I think we can become first place...
if we can perform like we practice.
("My Turn" by Team White)
(She made a crucial mistake in the end.)
I ruined it.
I think I was nervous...
from the pressure of being the center.
I'm really sorry to my team members.
I'm disappointed in me...
as much as I wanted to do this well.
Team Orange.
2, 3.
- We're happy. - We're happy.
- Let's play. - Let's play.
- Hello, please look forward to us. - Hello, please look forward to us.
- Are you happy? - Yes.
Give us a round of applause if you're happy.
Okay.
Are you doing this greeting because of Ha Yoon?
Yes, that's right.
Let's do the chant one more time.
- We're happy. Let's play. - We're happy. Let's play.
- Hello, we're Team Orange. - Hello, we're Team Orange.
We sound like we're performing at an event.
(Awkward)
This combination seems...
quite fresh.
I'm also worried in the same time.
What will they show us?
Let's see their performance first.
I'm curious how this team will do.
- Yes, the combination is... - It's really interesting.
A lot of different types of people are in this team.
- 5, 6, 7, 8. - 5, 6, 7, 8.
(Hyo Sun is leading the choreography practice.)
(It's progressing easily without a problem.)
(Their choreography is in harmony like their shout of concentration.)
We're dancing in harmony.
We did it pleasantly...
because our teamwork was so good.
I think we're going to be the first place.
(An interesting combination inside Team Orange)
(Same age friends Hyo Sun and Hyun Joo)
Hyo Sun and I are friends from the same school.
(The two went to the same high school.)
I'm seeing a new side of her and I think she's admirable...
after meeting her here.
Hyun Joo keeps calling me "Older brother".
She said, "I feel confident because you're here."
- I'll do it. - One.
- It's right. - Is it right?
- It's not like that. - Should I do it like this?
Are you going to do it smiling and look like a fool?
Move your body.
Do it like this.
- Like this? - Yes.
(Gazes gently)
- Why? - I'm just looking at you.
(Laughing)
You're actually adorable.
(They boast their friendship even at their room.)
(They spent a happy first day.)
Team Orange.
(Choreography interim evaluation)
(As soon as they start,)
(their choreography becomes dissonant.)
(The leader A Reum makes a mistake.)
(Even Hyo Sun is lost.)
(Their teamwork has completely collapsed.)
Do you want to see this on TV later?
It's quite a spectacle.
Try to look like a team.
That's why I have nothing to say right now.
Everyone is doing their own thing separately.
Let's do it.
- Okay. - Okay.
(Tae Wan, Producer)
- Return the light, return the mic - Return the light, return the mic
(She sings out of tune.)
(Hyo Sun isn't singing.)
- You'll look at me - Okay.
- Everybody. - Yes?
Did you practice singing?
I think you're the worst...
out of all the teams.
Hyo Sun, let's see how you sing.
Even if we walk the same path
(Hyo Sun's voice isn't coming out.)
Hyo Sun.
- You want to do this, don't you? - Yes, I do.
The condition of Hyo Sun's voice was really bad.
She really worked hard yesterday.
She learned the choreography and taught it to us.
She went through all that trouble.
She made a lot of mistakes...
because she didn't have time to practice by herself.
(Team Orange continuously received harsh remarks.)
(They're sensitive because they're worried about the competition.)
Everyone was very discouraged.
It would be nice to perform amazingly.
But it didn't go like we wanted to.
I felt so bad because of myself.
Turn on my command.
A Reum, you're making too many mistakes.
- You're making mistakes... - She's tired.
- My throat hurts. - whenever we practice.
This is driving me crazy.
I'm going to have a mental breakdown.
We're in tune compared to the past. Let's just say nice words.
I'm not going to say nice words. I'm just telling you the truth.
This is serious.
So what do you want me to do?
(Volatile situation)
- What should I do? - I don't want you to do anything.
- Then what? - Don't only think of nice thoughts.
It's natural to be worried if you're making...
mistakes when we're practicing from the start to the end.
I'm also worried.
But do you have to say it like that?
I know that you're tired and you want to say it nicely.
- I know it. - I'm just saying it.
You make me feel bad when I hear it.
Let's do it after taking a break.
(Ha Yoon leaves.)
We all have strong personalities.
I was sad.
I kept making mistakes of things that I used to be good at.
It's hard to adjust to everyone.
We all have different thoughts.
I told her that it would be better if she kept telling me.
- Did it sound like talking back? - No, not like talking back.
- I'm sorry. It wasn't like that. - That's not what I'm talking about.
It's not like that. I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - Okay.
Okay.
- I'm just worried. - Okay.
(They continue to practice.)
1 and 2.
(Flinches)
Oh, my.
(Hyo Sun and Hyun Joo bumped with each other.)
I'm scared.
I'm scared that she might hit me.
- Okay. - I almost got hit.
- Then you should stand here. - It's okay.
Stand in the front.
(Hyo Sun pulls Hyun Joo's arm to go in the front.)
- No, it's okay. - Stand in the front.
- I'm sorry. - You don't want to get hit.
- I'm okay. - Quickly.
I'm about to get mad.
(I'm about to get mad.)
Keep practicing here.
No, it's okay. I'll just stand here.
Then why did you just say that?
(An unexpected conflict occurs.)
- Wait a minute. - Why?
(Unexpected situation)
- What did you twist? - I twisted my ankle.
Does it hurt?
- Oh, my. - How is it?
- What should we do? - Shouldn't he take his shoes off?
(The Unit Part 8 will begin in a minute.)
(Emergency Room)
(The Unit, End of Part 7)
(The Unit, Part 8)
