I think you're worrying too much.
You two should divide up the parts into smaller parts.
(Don Spike gave some good advice to Hye Jeong and Minnie.)
(We're more confident now.)
(Lia Kim visited the Performance Unit to help out.)
(Lia Kim's dance school)
That's so cool.
Maybe you can roll on the ground.
(What kind of a performance will the Performance Unit put on?)
(Vocal Unit's mid-evaluation)
("Senorita" by 95)
("instagram" by AI)
("Scarecrow" by Bom and Jung)
(Time for the mid-evaluation)
(2 votes for 95)
(1 vote for Bom and Jung)
(1 vote for AI)
(2 votes for AI)
(AI wins the mid-evaluation with a total of 15 votes.)
(Another vote for AI)
(Who will win the real unit round?)
(MAMAMOO is discussing the 3rd preliminary competition.)
We're second-place winners.
(Embarrassed)
We have the next round.
The next round.
Here's our performer and our vocalist.
(Performer on the left and vocalist on the right)
- Where did you get that idea? - Vocalist?
Performer?
How's working with Kei?
- Yes. - You look so happy.
I feel comfortable around Kei.
You're friends with her, right?
- You're the same age as her? - I had no idea either.
- I thought she'd be younger. - Me too.
During the picnic,
- you two... - Did you just call it a picnic?
What should I call it then?
- What should I call it? - Goodness.
- You sounded too old. - You could call it a retreat.
I thought we were a hiking club for a moment there.
(Sorry, I meant retreat.)
- During the retreat, - Picnic?
I noticed that you two have different vocal textures.
Textures? Why would you call it textures?
Get off the Internet, please.
You two have different vocal textures.
On the outside,
Kei is like a baby, all cute.
That's the impression she usually leaves on everyone.
But her voice was...
(Miss?)
- totally not. - Yes, her voice is very feminine.
I was so surprised by how mature her voice sounds.
- I was so surprised. - It indeed caught me by surprise.
Her voice is just so good.
Exactly.
Anyway, Kei's voice was quite a shock for me.
- Right. - Her voice...
And you think she'd be shy...
- I hear she's very enthusiastic. - Is she the one who leads?
- She leads me. - Hwa Sa gets dragged around.
Do that line again.
She says, "You're mine."
She's very enthusiastic towards me.
(You approached me with gimbap,)
(and our destiny to be together began with a lot of excitement.)
Your heart must've been fluttering.
It went far beyond fluttering.
My heart was pounding.
I think seeing her so enthusiastic...
- made it easier for me to choose. - Right.
- Since she was... - Since she was so enthusiastic.
That's why I chose to work with her,
but we're two very different people.
I'm curious to find out how you two will sound together.
Never have I ever imagined...
that I'd be performing in a unit with Kei.
There was never a chance to work with her,
so I think this is a great opportunity.
I now get to perform with Kei.
(Hwa Sa is making a video call to someone.)
(Flips her hair)
- Hello. - Kei.
(Hwa Sa is calling none other than Kei.)
- Hello. - Where are you?
I'm heading to a festival to perform.
Did you eat?
I just ordered some food.
You're shooting your music video today, right?
We're heading to our shoot right now.
We're in Jeolla Province right now.
You're filming your music video in Jeolla Province?
Yes. I miss you.
(Being straightforward again)
My goodness, me too.
(Flustered)
Me too.
(How adorable.)
I miss you!
See you soon.
- Have you recorded your part? - I'm recording tomorrow.
- Is that right? - I received the instrumentals.
I'm practicing while listening to your part.
But mine isn't that great.
Just do as you'd like.
- You did an excellent job. - No.
I thought it was the original recording at first.
(Kei is being super sweet again.)
Kei.
Stop.
(Please stop.)
Let's sing one verse each,
then it'd be nice if we began harmonizing from the bridge part.
I want it to sound like we're really singing together.
Let's do that.
Make sure you eat something.
Have fun performing.
All right, have fun filming.
I'll practice hard after my shoot.
Good luck!
I love you.
(I love you.)
Love you.
(Flustered)
I love you.
(We'll see their sweet friendship on stage soon.)
Me too.
(We'll see their sweet friendship on stage soon.)
Bye now.
(The day after the video call, Kei is recording her parts.)
Can I listen to Hwa Sa's recording while I sing?
I'll put her on right now.
(While listening to Hwa Sa,)
(Kei is adjusting her voice to suit Hwa Sa's voice.)
We first communicated...
by calling and texting each other.
(95 decided on their stage and outfits through text messages.)
(- I was thinking neon. - Let's go with that.)
We exchanged recordings of our voices...
and used them to record some more.
I told myself that I'm with Hwa Sa in the studio...
while recording.
(Endless practices to create the best performance possible)
(Hwa Sa practiced endlessly between performance schedules abroad.)
As I was listening to the song, I imagined our performance.
I'm pretty sure I listened to the song thousands of times.
I kept trying to picture our performance.
Kei sent me her recording.
Kei also has a unique voice color,
and I think our voices go well together.
Hwa Sa is indeed...
great at interpreting this song.
She really accentuated the message.
(How will the sweet 95 girls' performance be?)
(Minnie visited Hye Jeong's agency.)
It's FNC!
(I can't believe that I'm here.)
Can I take a photo here?
(She's fascinated by her seniors' entertainment agency.)
(Minnie is at AOA's agency!)
- Hello. - Hi.
Have you been well?
Yes.
You're still adorable.
We sang the song together once.
It went quite well.
I hear people enjoyed it.
(As soon as Minnie began singing,)
(everyone got goosebumps.)
- Her voice is amazing. - She's good.
(Minnie caught everyone by surprise with her unique voice.)
(Hye Jeong followed with another unique voice.)
(This is it!)
This team is incredible.
My team members also really loved it.
The second verse is the problem, though.
The first verse sounds fine as is,
but it'd get boring if we stayed the same through the second verse.
I don't know what to do.
(Should we still sing "instagram"?)
- We had other songs, right? - Right.
Should we go through them again?
What were they?
- What about "Just"? - "Just"?
It's such a great song.
("Just" by Crush)
(It's a medium-tempo song that accentuates soothing vocal tones.)
(They were choosing their song until right before the performance.)
But the song has an awkward key.
The key is...
That's too low.
And...
if you put it up an octave, it's too high.
And there's a rap part.
Can you rap?
Absolutely not.
Do it for me.
(Let's give it a try.)
You can do it.
Yo!
(Trailing off, unable to read Korean fast enough)
I give up.
(Gives up right away)
Let's just do "instagram".
("instagram" by DEAN)
(AI ended up choosing "instagram", the song they did at the retreat.)
The guitar part is so nice.
Do you play any instruments?
I play the piano.
Should I play the piano?
Sure.
We had a piano playing...
- for our mid-evaluation. - It went well with the song.
It sounded nice.
This will be the first time I'm playing piano on stage.
I can play as long as the chords aren't complicated.
I can do it if I practice.
Listening to the song,
I noticed that there aren't a lot of chords being played.
It's repetitive,
so I think I can do well as long as I practice.
(The two are now deciding on how the music will go.)
Let's go really slow.
It can be at a slow tempo,
then have more rhythm added.
(You know what I'm saying, right?)
The beats can come in at this part.
(Should we do a dance too?)
Keep going.
I have an idea.
To make it feel like we're really singing together,
you can go first...
(What if we sing a round?)
Then we can harmonize.
(End it off with harmonizing)
Because...
(- It's a problem - It's a problem)
(- Everywhere in the world - Everywhere in the world)
(We hear the same old love song)
I want it to sound more jazz.
It'd be nice if we added in some improvisations.
I'm representing my group,
so I feel like I have (G)I-DLE written all over my face.
When I do well, (G)I-DLE does well.
When I fail, (G)I-DLE fails.
My teammates trusted me to do well on this.
(Minnie's voice is something that can't be heard in Korea.)
(All her teammates recommended that Minnie perform.)
(You'll be our pride.)
(I hope you can show off (G)I-DLE's color on stage.)
(Our goal is to win!)
(Let's go!)
I can't fail, because if I do, my teammates will be disappointed.
Her passion and everything else...
is like a burning fire.
I'm inspired.
(AI begins recording after discussing the arrangements.)
(Minnie begins recording first.)
(She's singing through one note after another.)
That was perfect.
Beautiful.
(Minnie works even harder after getting complimented.)
That was great.
I didn't know "instagram" could turn into something like this.
(It sounds very different from the original.)
I want people to say that we have great vocals.
That's what I want to hear.
How long did Minnie take to record her parts?
She's very determined...
- and also very passionate. - Did it take a long time?
It took longer than expected.
She recorded the chorus by dividing it into parts.
I think it took around 4 to 5 hours.
(Shocked)
- She must've been exhausted. - Right.
(Hye Jeong's recording begins.)
("instagram" is getting filled with Hye Jeong's color.)
- We'll go from the line before. - All right.
(Hye Jeong looks very relaxed while recording.)
That was excellent.
(Hye Jeong's voice is shining through.)
(Was recording for a song always this difficult?)
I think we'll be done in one take.
Great.
(On your Instagram)
That was awesome. Let's hear it again.
Okay.
It's amazing.
We're done.
Great work.
I've never had a chance to show off my vocals.
But thanks to Queendom,
I'm getting a chance to show off my vocals.
It's exciting,
but also terrifying.
It's a fun challenge.
(Meanwhile, is that a food truck...)
(in front of Bom and Jung's recording studio?)
Hello!
What are you doing?
(Bom's long-time fans prepared a coffee truck for the two singers.)
What is this photo?
I have my mouth open in it.
My fans prepared a coffee truck for us,
so I'm ready to get to work.
Say hi to Hyo Jung.
- Hello. - Hello.
She's singing with me.
She's from OH MY GIRL.
- Yes, I'm from OH MY GIRL. - Do you want to see our teamwork?
1, 2, 3.
- OH MY... wait. - That's not it.
1, 2, 3.
- What's up? We found you! - What's up? We found you!
- It's "We found you!" - We need more practice.
- Go again. What's up? We found you! - What's up? We found you!
- Bom. - Jung.
We need more practice.
(This is after a lot of practicing.)
You know how we can watch others react to each performance?
- It's so fun watching yours. - Why is that?
Wow, those people are so good.
(While watching OH MY GIRL's "Destiny" performance,)
(she really said that.)
It's hilarious.
- We weren't close back then. - Those people are so good!
It was adorable.
- Was it? - Yes.
That's your crane dance.
What is it?
- A crane dance. - How do you do it?
Do I really have to do it here? I listen to you so well.
I do whatever she tells me to do.
I'm falling in love with Queendom.
1, 2, 3.
(After the retreat, these two became like sisters.)
(Let's win!)
I found you!
(I found you, Hyo Jung!)
- I found you! - I found you, OH MY GIRL.
I found you, OH MY GIRL.
Bom!
Our second arrangement is ready now,
- we should try singing it again. - Yes, we should.
Let's hear it and give it a try.
We can decide on which one to use for the performance later.
I start off first, right?
Take out your notes.
- Did you bring yours? - Yes I did.
- What's that? - This is something else.
Hold on.
This is something else,
I can't show you this.
(Peeking)
That's her song for the third preliminary competition.
I'm confident.
- It's something else. - But we're a team.
That doesn't mean that you can see this!
I'm starting the song first,
which is quite an important part.
I'm really worried, but I've been working really hard on it.
It's quite difficult to portray the song's emotion.
(Bom remembers her first time singing "Scarecrow".)
JYP gave the song to me...
and explained it only once,
but it really stuck with me in my heart.
You'd think I would've forgotten about you by now,
you'd think I'm happy with someone else,
but I still haven't forgotten about you.
You know how a scarecrow stands still?
I'm like the scarecrow that stands still when everyone else is leaving.
We're just standing there.
That really resonated with me.
(The song seemed to understand the lonely time Bom was in.)
It's like a fairytale that will soothe your heart.
I hope the audience will feel the same way...
we do about the song.
I'm worried that that may not be possible.
But I want to give that a try through Queendom.
The lyrics are about how you're alone in the darkness,
struggling alone. Have you had a time like that?
- When I was struggling? - Yes, just give an example.
A time when I was struggling.
The hardest days of your life.
(The hardest days of your life)
(Hyo Jung is always so cheerful, did she ever struggle too?)
- A time when I was struggling. - Your dark days.
When you felt like nobody was there for you...
and you were alone in the darkness.
Have you had a time like that?
A time of struggle.
To me, that's...
I have...
I have this tendency...
to make everything sound nice,
even the darkest moments.
- So you're positive? - I try to erase those memories.
- I see. - I do that.
Whenever I faced struggles, ever since I was young,
I'd make it sound like I'm okay.
Even if it meant that I had to create another self.
I know what that is.
Why are you crying?
(Why are you crying?)
What's wrong?
(Hyo Jung ended up crying,)
(and Bom hugged her.)
I don't know how to describe this.
I feel alone quite often.
Ever since I was little,
I wanted everyone to love me.
But when people didn't, I blamed myself for it.
Through those experiences,
I realized that I should love myself,
but I don't, and that's what's making me feel so lonely.
That's my struggle.
(It's her first time sharing her loneliness behind the cheerfulness.)
(And Bom knows exactly what that feels like.)
Why are you holding yourself back even when you cry? Just cry.
Okay.
I really don't know.
Bom...
(Bom can feel Hyo Jung's loneliness even without words.)
Why are you crying?
Why are you crying? Were you ever left alone?
(Why are you crying?)
Everyone goes through that time.
Was that painful for you?
(Yes.)
Being alone is difficult.
(Sighs)
Having to stand up on my own,
having a lot more to think about.
When you're in this field,
there are so many times...
when you feel like you're alone.
That's why I just hugged her.
Sing that exact emotion.
Yes.
Relieve your stress through singing.
Sing the loneliness away.
Those darn emotions.
(Laughs)
Sing this.
I trust you.
- I trust you too. - I can trust you now.
I'm starting to have more and more trust in you.
I didn't have much confidence to begin with,
but it's so nice...
having such a reliable partner,
and that it's none other than Bom. I'm really grateful.
(The two are listening to the new arrangement.)
Without the interlude,
- it doesn't feel the same. - No, it doesn't.
Then what about this?
You know how the chorus repeats twice?
Right? What if we take one out?
Just end it with that.
- During the third chorus? - Yes.
That's a great idea.
I think that'd be better.
- Keep the interlude? - Yes.
(Bom begins recording again.)
No, I'll do it again.
(She keeps recording until she's satisfied.)
- Was that all right? - It was good. Let's hear it now.
The ending is weird.
(Bom is checking each note.)
(She's so different when she's working.)
She was so detailed,
and that was inspiring for me.
The song is a difficult song for me,
so I was shocked when I listened to her sing.
She's truly amazing.
And I felt so small afterwards.
I'm so worried,
but I'm working hard.
(Hyo Jung begins recording after Bom finishes.)
(Listening to herself)
- Let's monitor it. - How was it?
You have this excellent tone,
I definitely heard it.
I think you should listen to yourself.
(She listens to the advice and puts her emotions in while recording.)
Excellent.
- Good? - Yes.
Can you do...
- the first line again? Just once. - All right.
- Can you enunciate that part? - Yes.
(Hyo Jung is singing with Bom's comments in mind.)
(Impressed)
Why haven't I learned
That people don't change?
- Isn't this better? - It's great.
- Is this one better? - It definitely is!
This is better, but let's monitor it again.
I wasn't feeling too confident about the song,
but Bom complimented me so much.
She told me that I'm good, and that I don't need to worry so much.
She told me to be more confident.
With her encouraging words on my back,
I'll try to perfect the song for the performance.
I'm now really keen on making Hyo Jung sound good.
She's improving, which I'm so happy about.
(The day of the Unit Round rehearsals)
Hello.
(95 have arrived on the set.)
Where do I go?
Hello.
(Minnie and Hye Jeong arrived shortly after.)
It's currently 7:16.
Do you think it's am or pm?
Is Minnie here?
I'm so nervous.
(How will the Vocal Units' performances go?)
(The day of the 3rd preliminary competition)
(Six Puzzles, the Performance Unit, has arrived as well.)
My face is all swollen because I just woke up.
I have four circles on my face.
(Here comes the last van.)
Goodness.
Let's go.
(The last piece of Six Puzzles,)
(who is Bom's other half?)
(The audience has gathered...)
(for the 3rd preliminary competition.)
(The audience for the Unit Round includes an equal number of fans...)
(from each fandom, vocal students from schools and academies,)
(as well as dancers from dance crews.)
I'm here to support Lovelyz.
- I'm here to cheer for Bom. - I'm here for AOA.
(Starry night)
MAMAMOO is the best!
- We're Miracles. - We're here for OH MY GIRL.
- I'm here for (G)I-DLE. - Me too.
I became a fan after the "Egotistic" performance.
Good luck to MAMAMOO!
AOA, let's win! Good luck.
Cheers for Queendom! We love you.
(The audience is entering the set.)
(The studio is filled with the audience.)
(Lee Da Hee and Jang Sung Kyu)
(The show begins now.)
It really feels like an awards ceremony.
Jang Sung Kyu!
(Screaming)
I've become a fan of Sung Kyu.
His wife is pregnant with their second child now.
Yes, I saw the news.
Six girl groups that represent K-pop...
are making their comeback simultaneously.
A bold competition that will settle the queens once and for all.
- The battle of comebacks, Queendom. - The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
I'm Lee Da Hee, the Queen of Queendom.
I'm Jang Sung Kyu, the dom of Queendom.
Today's competition...
is the last preliminary round...
before the finals.
Which team will win...
the third preliminary competition?
It all depends on your votes.
There are three components...
that will be added up...
to determine the final ranks.
The first is the points that the teams have earned...
through the three preliminary competitions.
The second is the points earned from the record sales...
of the singles that'll be released simultaneously.
The last component is the live votes...
on their comeback stages on October 31.
All of this will be added up to determine the final ranks.
(The final score)
The third preliminary competition today...
is composed of two rounds...
and awards 15,000 points at max.
The first round of 5,000 points...
(Unit Round)
is Queendom's Unit Round.
- Unit Round! - My goodness.
That's right. For the Vocal Units,
each group's vocalist formed a duet with another group's,
through which they'll receive their votes.
You have to vote for one team...
that you think was the best.
And based on your votes,
the winning group of the Vocal Units will receive 2,500 points.
The runner-up group receives 1,500 points.
The third place gets 500 points.
And as for the Performance Unit,
six people will perform together.
Then there will be an individual vote.
After the Performance Unit's stage,
press the number of the person...
who did the best in your opinion.
I trust you.
Queendom is cruel.
It's cruel
The points earned by the vocal and performance units...
will be combined with Fandora's Box points...
and reflected on the final score.
Then the battle of comebacks, Queendom will now begin...
the 1st round of the 3rd preliminary competition,
Unit Round.
Why do I feel nervous?
It's a lot of pressure.
You'll do well.
Who's running the show?
(Queendom)
I'm here to pick you up.
We'll have to say hello...
and introduce ourselves on the stage.
You're good at that.
You're also the leader of your group.
We have to go now.
- Bom. - Yes.
- Hyo Jung. Let's go. - Yes.
- You can do it. Good luck. - Yes.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
We'll now begin the 1st round of the 3rd competition.
Here it goes.
Very special unit performances...
which are only available on Queendom are waiting for you.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
Thank you.
I think Bom and I have great harmony.
I just want to tell her...
that if she has faith in us,
we'll create a good performance.
I hope you enjoy it.
I'll put on a good performance.
I'll do my best.
I'll now reveal the first Vocal Unit.
The fateful kiss of the queen of soul and the queen of emotions.
(A kiss)
It's Park Bom and Hyo Jung of OH MY GIRL.
(They're nervous.)
- Come on. - I'm getting goosebumps.
Her hands were shaking during the rehearsal.
- Right? You saw that right? - Yes.
I actually voted for them...
after listening to the first verse.
(Excuse me?)
(Bom and Jung head to the stage.)
(She says hi shyly next to Bom.)
- Hello. - Hello.
2, 3.
What's up! We found it.
- Bom. - Jung.
(That went smoothly.)
(The audience shouts.)
I can't wait to see it.
Say, "Good luck, Hyo Jung."
Good luck, Hyo Jung.
I want to come in first place...
since I'm with Bom.
I wanted to create such a performance...
for Bom.
I hope people who are having a hard time...
cheer up...
after listening to this song.
(Lamps light up on the stage,)
(and light sticks support for Bom and Jung.)
What's that?
It's starting. What a pretty stage.
I feel like we have to turn the lights off.
Shall we?
Good.
(They turn the lights off to listen to music.)
It's giving me goosebumps.
It's starting.
("Scarecrow" by Bom and Jung)
(It will continue shortly.)
("Scarecrow" by Bom and Jung)
- I got goosebumps. - Right?
- Why is it so sad? - I know.
She's crying.
Is she crying? I think she's crying. My goodness.
My goodness.
(Two people who shared their feelings are finished.)
They're crying!
They're crying.
They're crying so much.
- My goodness. - My goodness.
Bom said this song has a story.
Goodness.
My goodness. I feel like crying.
(Bom and Jung exit with comfort from the audience.)
- Don't cry. - Don't cry.
(Their feelings were felt through the song.)
You were right. I feel like crying.
I feel like crying.
What a warm performance.
(Queendom understands the two singers' hearts more than anyone.)
Why am I sad?
I feel... How was it?
I almost couldn't do it.
I was so choked up.
I noticed that you couldn't look ahead and kept blinking.
I was so sad.
You were so cute.
(Jung, you were so cute.)
Thank you.
At the time,
it felt like she was comforting me.
It felt like my sorrow was relieved.
"I felt that way. I guess you did too."
"It's normal to feel that way." That's what I felt.
I feel like I was comforted after the performance.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
We're going to watch the second Vocal Unit performance.
Oh, Hye Jeong.
- Hye Jeong. - Good luck.
- Hye Jeong. - Hye Jeong.
- Hye Jeong. You can do it! - You can do it!
- It's easy! - It's easy!
- Yes. - Yes.
Stand by, Minnie.
(The time has come.)
- Good luck, Minnie. - Good luck, Minnie.
- You can do it. - Good luck.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
- She feels nervous. - My goodness.
- See you soon. - See you soon.
(AI is smiling, but they look nervous.)
- I love you. - I love you.
You're the best.
(We can do it.)
- Just enjoy it. - Sure.
Two people with beautiful voices met.
The voice angel of AOA, Hye Jeong.
And the voice master of (G)I-DLE,
Minnie.
(Hello)
2, 3.
- Hello. We're AI. - Hello. We're AI.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
My goodness.
Why do I feel nervous?
(Jimin's too nervous to talk.)
Why do I feel nervous?
She feels more nervous because...
- she's playing an instrument. - Right.
(The most nervous moment before the performance)
(The two try to overcome their nervousness with a smile.)
(The rehearsal the day before the competition)
(Minnie and Hye Jeong practice for the last time.)
(Don Spike also watches the rehearsal.)
- The part you just sang. - Yes.
Like your emotions or movements...
- Oh, yes. - You know what I mean?
(They check the emotions and movements in detail.)
Don't just raise the key.
Take a step forward at least.
That will make the audience focus even a bit more.
Because I used to dance on the stage,
my body and face just couldn't stay still...
to sing a quiet song.
I wasn't sure how to present it quietly and show loneliness.
I was very nervous.
I had to play the piano too.
Also, it was just me and her singing.
It was harder than I thought.
But if possible, I'd like to do better.
(How is Minnie and Hye Jeong's performance?)
("instagram" by AI)
(Exclaiming)
It's over!
What a beautiful voice.
(They exclaim at the same time.)
- Good job. - Good job.
(Exclaiming)
Hye Jeong's good.
That's cool.
Minnie deserves respect.
She looks very pretty, and she's doing awesome.
Hye Jeong nailed it.
(Their voice colors are insane.)
I'm so proud of her that I feel like crying.
- I'm so proud of her. - I'm so proud of her.
I've never felt this way before.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(They did it.)
Good job.
What a beautiful voice.
- I feel fluttered. - Great job.
(Exclaiming)
Minnie doesn't look like a rookie.
No.
She looks like she has more experience than us.
That was cool.
(They're back to their playful selves off the stage.)
- I was so nervous. - Gosh, that was hard.
I'm happy that it's over.
- Well done. - Applause.
(They look proud.)
- Good job. Thank you. - Good job.
(AI hugs each other for the good work.)
I hope we come in first place.
What?
I feel confident.
Really? You're amazing.
I'm very satisfied.
It was the best performance we've put on so far.
Good job. Good work.
It's all right. We did well.
((G)I-DLE)
(Extreme welcome)
Good job.
You did such a great job.
- It was really hot. - That was awesome.
- Hye Jeong! - Hye Jeong!
- Come here. - You did a great job.
- You were good. - Good job.
- You did great. - You did great.
How is it? Are you nervous?
I don't know. I'll be back soon.
- You can do it! - Good luck.
Bye.
- What? - Have fun. Peace.
(We believe in you, our vocalist.)
It's Kei's turn.
My goodness!
- Superstar Kei. - Kei.
My goodness.
(Hwa Sa is picking up Kei.)
(Knocking)
Kei.
(Knocking)
- Yes? - Yes?
- Yes? - Come in.
Hi.
- Hello. - Hello.
Are you here to pick me up?
- What took you so long? - I was just joking.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
- Good luck. - I'll be back.
95. 95.
(95 is on their way after receiving great support from Lovelyz.)
- We're the last. - Are you nervous?
- Yes, a little. - Don't be nervous.
- Let's do this. We can do it. - Yes.
My members told me to make a grand finale.
- They told me to do that. - Sure.
The last Vocal Unit's performance is waiting for you.
The chemistry queens...
that put on a performance beyond your imagination...
anywhere at any time have met.
It's Hwa Sa of MAMAMOO and Kei of Lovelyz.
(Patting)
(Now they're used to linking arms.)
- They're linking arms. - That's cute.
They're linking arms.
I really look forward to their performance.
(The audience looks forward to them.)
- 2, 3. - 2, 3.
- Hello. We're 95. - Hello. We're 95.
(The final rehearsal the day before the competition)
- Hello. - Hi.
I changed my hairstyle.
What's with showing your arms?
(Hwa Sa cracks down on her friend.)
- What's with showing your skin? - You need to pull up your shirt.
- This is what you call fashion. - How are you?
You're filming a music video.
- We're working on a new song. - That's why you changed your hair.
- How's your voice? - So so.
(She's exaggerating.)
- Have you heard the recording? - Yes.
It actually went well.
I was worried that our voices might not mix well,
but they mixed pretty well.
Right.
(The two are checking for the last time.)
Let's start the camera rehearsal.
(95's outfits show a good example of mix and match.)
(The rehearsal continues.)
(They go back and forth as they practiced.)
(Hwa Sa doesn't look that happy after the rehearsal.)
(Kei doesn't look satisfied either.)
I wasn't satisfied.
Because it was our first time rehearsing,
I couldn't focus on the song.
I think we need to work on how we'll put on the performance.
We need to think about it.
I thought we needed something fun.
We're kind of awkward.
- Right. - We're not enjoying this.
- So we should step forward... - And enjoy it?
- and communicate with the audience. - Yes.
It was still awkward.
At first, after the bridge...
I just want to make you feel okay
(95 has a meeting to discuss the positioning.)
Then let's take the mic and step forward.
- So have it ready in advance. - In advance?
(Hwa Sa wants to make it interesting because the song is monotonous.)
It might look too much,
so I'm worried about that line.
Even though I'm part of the performance,
I wonder what it's going to be like.
I think that's what the audience is going to enjoy.
Good luck, Hwa Sa. Let's do this.
- Good luck, Kei. - Let's do this.
- 95. - 95's.
- 95. - 95.
- Kei! - I'm nervous.
I look forward to it.
Good luck.
They're on the stage. They're going to start sitting down!
("Wish You Were Gay" by 95)
I love it.
I can't believe her voice.
(Is that really Kei?)
They sound good together.
(Their faces say everything.)
Awesome.
She raised her eyebrows.
(Goodness. Look at her.)
- Her eyebrows! - Her eyebrows!
(Their every movement deserves to be seen.)
(Gaping)
They're good.
I've never seen them singing a song like that.
I know. Kei looks so cool.
(Heart racing)
Goodness. That's so cool.
(That's cool.)
I love it.
- I knew it. - They'll win.
- 95. - 95's.
(Continuing to exclaim)
- They're really good. - They have definite chemistry.
- That was impressive. - It was awesome.
(Cuddling)
(The real friends, 95's great performance)
They're cute.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(They don't forget to link their arms even at the end.)
- Go, Kei. - Hwa Sa!
Good job!
- Good work. - Good work, right?
(Good work.)
It's a shame now that it's over.
I know. I liked it.
I feel relieved.
Regardless of how the performance was,
the fact I took the stage with you is meaningful.
I feel the same.
When would we work together like this again?
It will be a good memory.
Let's not worry about the outcome.
- Okay. - I have no regrets.
Are you satisfied with the performance?
I am never satisfied.
I am relieved.
That's right.
I am relieved that we didn't make a mistake.
It was a good experience.
The battle of comebacks, Queendom.
What remains of the 1st round of the 3rd competition...
is the performance by the Performance Unit...
you can only check out on Queendom.
- What? - Chanmi!
(It's Chanmi's time.)
Chanmi!
Let's go!
- Okay. - Do it!
- Did it end? - Soojin!
Soojin!
Let's go!
- Soojin! - My goodness.
You can do this.
- Good luck. - Let's go.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
(Relaxed)
- Bye. - Bye.
- Good luck. - You can do this.
I will do a good job.
- Do a good job. - Seriously.
- Don't hurt yourself. - Let's go.
- You are the best. - I am the best.
You are the best.
(Dazed)
You know I have to go now, right?
Yes. Give a good performance.
Good luck.
(I will be bad.)
My goodness. Have a good performance.
You can do this.
(The leader of Six Puzzles goes to the stage as well...)
Let's go.
(with her bandmate's encouragement.)
Gentlemen, let's go.
- Isn't that Byul? - The in-ear device.
It's Moonbyul!
(Is everyone here?)
I felt so emotional as I listened...
- to the performance. - Really?
- Soojin. - There she is.
All right, everyone.
Let's make the audience forget about the Vocal Unit.
- Yes! - Let's go!
(Six Puzzles shows strong confidence.)
Let's go!
(Six Puzzles shows strong confidence.)
(15 days before the 3rd competition)
Tell us about the Performance Unit...
what it's doing.
The word on the street is...
- that it's... - Seriously.
We decided...
to have each member...
When the six members take the stage together,
they can't show their own styles.
So we decided to have an individual dance...
as well as the group dance.
It's incredible.
Among the dances I have done on the stage,
this one is the hardest.
(Really?)
I have to put my all to the dance from the beginning to the end.
I had no idea my body was so slow.
I am always fast when it comes to dance, right?
This is the first time I am slow.
It's incredible.
There aren't six members in the unit.
Well, there are six members.
- Bom used a chance. - That's right.
You don't know who the sixth member is.
- No, I don't. No one knows. - Really?
- They won't tell me. - Do you practice separately?
- Yes. - You're finding out on the day of?
- That's right. - Really?
- Someone else will take the stage. - Yes.
I have no idea who she is.
That's incredible.
(Bom's other half will be revealed soon.)
Did you practice a lot?
- Well, yes. - Yes.
(Everyone is nervous.)
I practiced.
Because I had to go to Paris,
I didn't have time to teach the dance myself.
- You learned it separately. - Yes.
How was it? Was it okay?
(They glance over at each other.)
How was it? Was it okay?
- It's so fast-paced. - It's difficult.
It's so fast-paced from the beginning to the end.
That's right.
(Lia Kim's choreography added speed and power to the beats.)
The dance looks cool when it's fast-paced.
- I am out of breath. - Every dance is like that.
After one go, I am dying.
Could you move your neck...
after the first practice?
My back hurt so much.
- You heard, right? - Was it that bad?
- Seriously. - My back hurt so much.
I am sure you trained your back...
- when you danced. - But...
we don't shake our heads much...
when we dance on TV.
- We don't lower our heads. - That's right.
For this dance, we have to bang our heads.
Seriously.
This dance requires a lot of neck movements.
It's hard.
It has a lot of neck movements.
May I take a look...
at your performance?
- Let's see how much you practiced. - We don't know our positions.
If that's the case,
why don't you dance from your spot?
- Okay. - Okay.
(Ye In and Chanmi are well-prepared.)
I don't know this part.
Keep going.
(Ye In and Chanmi continue on smoothly.)
(Was it the dance?)
(Pausing)
(Okay.)
"I'm in trouble."
"What was the next move?"
I couldn't memorize the choreography,
so I was very startled.
I was so worried.
(On the first day of group practice, a difficult journey is expected.)
(How will Lia react?)
You memorized the choreography!
The two of you were nearly perfect.
Please help me a lot today.
Today...
You have been busy, right?
(I am sorry.)
- Well... - I will be understanding.
You will get help from the teachers who know the dance well.
Before we begin...
- the hard training... - Everyone.
Everyone.
- Hello. - Hello.
What is that?
Lia, please take good care of them.
Gosh, could that be a bribe?
- Thank you for the bribe. - Eun Ji is in your care.
(Eun Ji is Bom's other half and the last puzzle.)
(She is the main rapper of Brave Girls...)
(and the dancer with flexibility.)
(A few days ago at the agency of Brave Girls)
- Hey. - Who are you?
- Hello. - Hello.
I have a favor to ask.
For the next round, I have to do all three performances.
Through Queendom Quest,
I won a chance.
That's how I went to Brave Brother...
for help.
I am starring in Queendom these days.
- Have you watched it? - Of course I have.
- It's quite popular these days. - Yes.
It's the top one in terms of popularity.
You always seem lonely.
I know.
This time,
I have to do three performances.
You know Eun Ji, right? She featured in "Spring".
(Eun Ji of Brave Girls featured in Bom's "Spring".)
I need her help.
I want to take her...
and put her in the Performance Unit...
for the dance performance.
I think she would think of it as an honor.
I would be grateful.
She respects you.
I see.
(Proud)
I hope Eun Ji will be helpful.
She will be very helpful.
- I will work hard. - Okay.
I will get going now.
Already?
I have to go get Eun Ji.
I am keeping this meeting short.
(I am so busy these days.)
Let's talk on the phone.
Okay.
Okay, I will get going now.
- Good luck. - Okay.
- Be sure to place 1st. - I will place 1st this time.
- Hello. - Thank you.
- Hello. - Hello.
She is my other half. Please take good care of me.
All right.
I have always known Eun Ji,
so I was happy to see her. I hadn't seen her in a long time.
She seemed very cheerful.
I had a feeling she would have great facial expressions.
I think she would look cool...
when she simply stares at the camera.
- Good luck. - Okay.
Chanmi, I will look at you.
Don't do that.
- I am nervous. - Let's go again.
This performance is giving me more pressure...
than the performances I do as a member of Brave Girls.
I feel like I need to do well for Bom.
I have so many worries.
(How will be her teamwork with the members of Six Puzzles?)
(YooA's body finally remembers the choreography.)
(Eun Ji prepared thoroughly.)
I am so thankful for Bom...
for letting me take the stage...
as her other half.
I will work hard.
Eun Ji, thank you so much.
Don't worry about the rankings.
Please continue to work hard.
Let's go.
Drive, spin.
Yes. Up, down, pull.
Up.
Then...
You will shake your shoulders.
Shake your shoulders and legs.
(Shaking)
Pretend to act cute.
Let's begin.
You need to shake more.
- All right. - That was too weak.
That was too weak.
Let's go.
Do it without hesitation.
- That was too weak. - What?
Move your hips and shoulders at the same time.
Let's begin.
(Her shoulders don't shake.)
You aren't shaking your shoulders.
- Moonbyul, you are good. - Do it like this.
That's right.
(She passes thanks to the pointer.)
There you go.
And up.
(Shaking)
Point.
Straighten your leg.
Come on.
(They are turning into machines.)
We are working towards one performance as a team.
Although I am worried,
I have a feeling we will do well.
I am very determined...
not to let them down.
I will work hard and rip the stage apart.
The name of the team is Six Puzzles.
When the pieces of a puzzle come together,
they will create an incredible synergy.
When the performance ends, I will feel exhilarated...
to know that we created this together.
It will be fun regardless of the competition.
It's my first time performing on a big stage without my members.
I will work hard to do my part.
I want to create a legendary performance.
(It's a fight against time.)
(Without missing a day,)
(the members worked hard to overcome themselves.)
(They practiced their individual performances...)
(and group performance.)
(Towards completion,)
(Six Puzzles sweated every day.)
(A legendary performance...)
(you shouldn't miss is coming up.)
The six queens will give a performance together.
Six Puzzles.
Go.
(There is tension behind the stage.)
(They finally appear.)
There they are.
(Let's go, Six Puzzles.)
They look like a girl group.
(G)I-DLE has six members too.
2, 3.
- Hello, we are Six Puzzles. - Hello, we are Six Puzzles.
All right. Six Puzzles, it's good to have you here.
It must have been hard to find time to practice together.
I am sure there were many hardships. How was it?
We practiced as a whole...
for the first time yesterday during the rehearsal.
(Six Puzzles' rehearsal)
(The first puzzle, Jeong Ye In)
I studied modern dance when I was little.
I used this talent for the performance.
It was the first time in a long while...
I put everything I had into dance practice.
It brought up past memories...
and touched my heart.
I will do a couple dance...
with tango elements.
(Their jaws drop.)
(My goodness.)
I was seduced.
(The third puzzle, Chanmi)
- This is tiny. - You can do this.
It has to be higher tomorrow.
It could be dangerous if it's higher.
- It's okay. It's okay. - Okay.
With two male dancers,
I will do a performance that looks like I'm being interrogated.
I don't know if I will get the right vibe,
but I practiced hard.
(Chanmi added a difficult move to her routine.)
I added a difficult move, but I couldn't do it well.
I thought to myself, "I need to practice harder."
(The fourth puzzle, YooA)
Lia told me that...
she hasn't seen anyone give a good cover...
of Michael Jackson's dance.
I thought to myself, "I won't fail."
I practiced countless times.
(The fifth puzzle, Moonbyul)
It's an opportunity to show a new side of me.
The music will catch people by surprise and grab their attention.
I hope you will pay attention to that...
to enjoy my routine.
(The rehearsal for the group performance begins.)
We will be able to do this, right?
- I am worried. - We haven't done this once.
(The group performance makes the members nervous.)
(The rehearsal starts.)
(Moonbyul appears in the middle of the performance.)
(Her movements are timid.)
(I forgot.)
(Lia's face hardens.)
You aren't in sync.
We should fix the problems.
Okay.
- Shall we begin? - This is the hardest.
5, 6, 7, 8.
(Six Puzzles go over the moves.)
- Do I go this way? - That's right.
Okay.
Since it was our first time to rehearse as a whole unit,
so I struggled a bit at first.
Then we practiced together by ourselves.
Yes. So...
we did it for the first time today. I think we did a good job.
- It was good, right? - Yes, it was good.
We are working towards one performance as a team.
I am half excited and half scared.
Since we practiced hard,
I hope the audience will be excited.
I will try to give a performance...
that is awe-inspiring and memorable to the audience.
Let's go.
(Six Puzzles gave their everything to the performance.)
(How will Ye In's performance be?)
(It will continue shortly.)
(What kind of performance did Six Puzzles prepare?)
Is this song from "Sympathy For Lady Vengeance"?
Yes.
(It seems like an incredible performance already.)
- No way. - It's so cool.
("Sympathy For Lady Vengeance" OST)
(It's like a movie.)
(She is touched.)
(They can't help but be impressed.)
That's incredible.
(The perfect harmony between modern dance and music)
How pretty!
She did an amazing job.
That was really cool.
She is so pretty.
(Screaming)
- Oh, yes. - Sexy. Sexy.
(This is incredible.)
I'm dying.
(Is that the shy Soojin we know?)
No way.
(Is that the shy Soojin we know?)
This is insane.
Cover your eyes.
(They give the best reaction.)
She is amazing!
My heart beat so fast.
It was shocking.
(It's our youngest member!)
(Let's focus.)
(My goodness.)
She is so powerful.
(Screaming)
It was perfect.
(She did it!)
(Our youngest member is the best. She commanded the stage.)
She commanded the stage.
(Who will give the next performance?)
(Look at how cool YooA looks!)
Let's go!
(My goodness.)
She is so cool. She is really cool. I am getting goosebumps.
(My goodness.)
How cool!
(They give her a standing ovation.)
My baby did an amazing job!
(Performance Unit's stage has a variety of charms.)
- It's very eclectic. - Seriously.
There she is. There she is.
I can't wait.
("Two Moons" by Moonbyul)
- She is relaxed. - Gosh, what's going on?
(Was that the sound of a sword?)
She is like an assassin.
Popping!
(Her cool charm exploded on the stage.)
That was great.
(They respond with a scream!)
I have no idea who will win.
(Eun Ji of Brave Girls)
(Surprised)
She is performing for Bom.
She is Bom's other half.
No way. She is Eun Ji of Brave Girls.
Bom was like, "Please do a good job."
(They look invincible.)
It's like a concert.
Seriously.
This is insane.
This performance is amazing.
I was on the brink of tears.
They are done.
(Good job.)
Everyone danced so well.
- My goodness. - Had this group debuted,
- we wouldn't have debuted. - Encore!
She should debut again as a member of Six Puzzles.
- We should let her go. - Yes.
For stay on our level,
she has done the easy dances.
- It was so powerful. - Everyone looked so cool.
It's finally over.
- It's over. - Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work.
Let's go back to the waiting room.
- It was nice, right? - I know.
(It's over.)
(They congratulate themselves.)
It's finally over.
- It's over. - It's over.
It was my first time performing...
with the dancers of other groups. It was so much fun.
I forgot about the competition.
The six of us worked hard...
to give this performance.
We became close and had a good time.
I won't forget this performance for a long time.
The second round that will use the fans' recommendations is...
The Fandora's Box.
I think I'm going to cry.
Don't cry.
- Adorable. - Absolutely!
This is it!
