all the contestants who had been watching the stage clapped and cheered for them as they got themselves lined up, facing the audience.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ BAEKHO﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ jang myunghee. . you have excellent vocals. you, however, did not stand out at all during this performance after the beginning. after your main part in the performance, you seemed almost closed off from your surroundings. it was like you were thinking "now that that part is over with, i no longer need to give it my all."

the camera dramatically panned to jang myunghee before moving back to baekho.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ BAEKHO﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ you need to always give your all when you're performing. if you don't, you go unnoticed by the crowd and can sometimes appear bored. practice hard for your next performance.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ JANG MYUNGHEE﹢꒰ JYP ꒱ :
↪ thank you. [ she nodded, taking a mental note of his advice ]

⊹ ࣪ ˖ RIAN LA CHICA﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ kwak hyeonju, i was disappointed if i am being honest. your vocals are not good. [ she waved her hands a bit, giving a "not at all" signal ]

⊹ ࣪ ˖ RIAN LA CHICA﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ you did great when you rapped and you really stood out when those lines were performed. if you decide to sing in later performances, please work on your vocals.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ KWAK HYEONJU﹢꒰ JYP ꒱ :
↪ okay, thank you. [ she bowed a little as an apology and immediately began thinking of ways to improve her vocals in case she had to sing again ]

⊹ ࣪ ˖ JEON SOYEON﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ jang eunseo, i was very intrigued by your performance. you did great in all aspects of your performance, and at some parts i really couldn't take my eyes off of you.  [ she laughed ]

↪ lastly, han wooyeon. you did very well with your vocals. i would just like to point out that you were given the role as the main dancer in this performance, correct?

⊹ ࣪ ˖ HAN WOOYEON﹢꒰ SM ꒱ :
↪ yes, we as a team decided that.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ CHOI JONGHO﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ i'm not sure if that was the best choice to make. you do have good dance skills, but there were better dancers in the group that may have been more suited for that position.. apart from that, i enjoyed your performance and i am eager to see more of you.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ HAN WOOYEON﹢꒰ SM ꒱ :
↪ thank you. i will make sure to take that into consideration for the next performance. [ she bowed respectfully after she finished speaking ]

all the contestants who had been watching the stage clapped and cheered for them as they got themselves lined up, facing the audience.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ JEON SOYEON﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ kim yunhee, you are a good rapper. the only thing with your rapping is how unstable you were while dancing. because of the instability, your rap sounded shaky and off beat at times. you need to improve your stability and your dance skills before your next performance to make sure you really shine in the upcoming performances.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ KIM YUNHEE﹢꒰ YG ꒱ :
↪ i understand. thank you.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ CHOI JONGHO﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ zara shen. i believe you are one of the best rappers on this show. you really hold incredible flow and stability when you rap, and it only adds to your performance skills. you really know how to captivate an audience when you're performing.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ ZARA SHEN﹢꒰ YG꒱ :
↪ thank you!

⊹ ࣪ ˖ CHOI JONGHO﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ my only negative feedback is your facial expressions. they were underwhelming and didn't reflect the mood and messaging of the song. once you improve that, i feel you will be unstoppable on stage. regardless of that, great job.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ ZARA SHEN﹢꒰ YG꒱ :
↪ i will practice hard. thank you again. [ she bowed respectfully ]

⊹ ࣪ ˖ RIAN LA CHICA﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ ito fumiko, you had nice vocals and incredible dance skills. i was very shocked when you started rapping though. you managed to prove that you are truly an all rounder despite being given the title "main dancer". on top of that, you really knew how to surprise an audience and keep them interested while you're performing on stage. excellent job!

⊹ ࣪ ˖ BAEKHO﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ lastly, yvonne. you had emotion in your singing that perfectly encapsulated the feel of the original song. i was very impressed by that. however..

the camera did a dramatic pan towards yvonne, showing her slightly confused expression when he said "however".

⊹ ࣪ ˖ BAEKHO﹢꒰ JUDGE ꒱ :
↪ you really need to improve your dancing skills. in a song like boombayah, the dancing really is the focal point of the performance. if you can't match up to the beat and perform the dance well, you make the dance look sloppy and uncoordinated. the other members really outshined you in the dancing department. please practice hard and show us a different side to your performance skills for the next performances.

the 4 girls walked off of the stage, none of them receiving flowers as they all sat back down in the audience.

the big screen above the stage suddenly turned on, revealing an uneven display of trainees in high ground.

the mc of the show, kim sejeong, walked out onto the stage where the trainees had just finished performing, surprising everyone. before, she had been seen only on the screen, but now she stood in front of them.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ KIM SEJEONG﹢꒰ MC ꒱ :
↪ as you all have noticed, there is an uneven number of trainees in high ground. in order to create balance, the judges will decide which trainees will remain in high ground, and which will go to low ground.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ KIM SEJEONG﹢꒰ MC ꒱ :
