Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

1
This building
was almost like my home,
and for the BTS members too.
We always ate at this restaurant.
The basement here
was actually our training room.
How have you been?
All good thanks to you.
It's been so long.
Seeing the mementos
that ARMY put here
The memories are flooding back.
Our only goal was to train very hard
so that we could debut.
My dream was to create
the greatest artist imaginable.
Now it feels like
I'm starting all over again.
If the Dream Academy goes well,
I believe a new type of artist will emerge
in the global and the US market.
One that can understand
the culture and the generation.
We're working hard
to make these girls beloved like BTS.
I didn't love the idea of a survival show,
but you're in it now,
you're not gonna quit.
I'll do anything to win at this point.
La, la-la, la ♪
Love me once
It's time to roll the dice ♪
All right, everyone,
I need a photo right now.
- Wow!
- I'm hype.
I love that.
What's a fun bus-ride song?

-What?
-Ey!

Damn! Where are my sopranos?
All through the town ♪
When I was in high school,
I was just watching K-dramas.
I was listening to K-pop.
I was so into their fashion,
their style, the way they do things.
I was like,
"Oh my God, I'm learning Korean."
"I wanna go to Korea someday."
But I was really poor,
so I was like, "Maybe someday."
Being here right now feels unreal.
Like, literally unreal.
I'm just so excited to see, like,
the culture, the country.
Just to, like,
be able to see it in real life,
just seeing all the people.
I'm very excited for Korea.
I'm also a little nervous for eliminations
and just these upcoming missions.
It feels like I'm really
that tiniest bit away from it.
Before the decision, the final decision,
I've gotta work hard
if I'm not gonna get eliminated this time.
The girls are here for a month
to film their second mission
and to do press for the project.
Then we will go back to LA
to get ready for Mission Three.
And then the live finale
and group member selections.
They are so hyped to be training
out of the mecca of K-pop.
Oh my gosh. Wow.
Oh my gosh.
I didn't see anyone.
I didn't know.
I just followed the voices.
Me too.
Can we get camera speeding?
- Rolling.
- Sound speed.
All right, everyone. In three, two, one.
Dream Academy.
We'll announce the second mission.
Oh my God!
This mission is
a team mission.
So Mission Two,
we're performing two Le Sserafim songs
Le Sserafim is a girl group
that is under HYBE.
And those songs
are "Antifragile" and "Fearless."
So there are two groups each song,
and those two groups
are going against each other.
So it's "Antifragile"
versus "Antifragile,"
"Fearless" versus "Fearless."
Oh, two team members.
Whichever group had the highest score,
then they win the challenge.
And you can only have
one team win in each song,
and those two groups
end up being immune from elimination.
Four people
will get eliminated.
You can take four people from
one "Antifragile" team and eliminate them.
You can take two and two.
You can take one and three.
It's up to the execs.
Teamwork
is important in a K-pop band.
How they interact with each other
and how they present themselves on stage.
We wanted fans to focus
on how each of the contestants
blend well together as a team.
The biggest challenge
of Mission Two
is the girls are singing and dancing
at the same time.
Now, not only do they
have to showcase their weakness,
they have to do it along
with their strength.
I need to work on singing
and dancing at the same time.
I'm not confident in it.
When you're not confident
in singing and dancing at the same time,
it's not gonna go well.
Oh, gosh.
Singing and dancing at the same time,
that's such a hard thing.
Mission One was about singing,
which I'm confident in.
But since Mission Two
is singing and dancing simultaneously,
I feel worried.
My favorite is
It doesn't matter.
It's just you want more people
to vote for you in the group,
to be in your favor.
Megan in Korea.
Megan in Korea, she's sick, she's tired,
she's malnourished.
She's not hav She doesn't have caffeine.
I'm going insane.
My best friend just went home.
Like, I'm crazy.
I'm crazy girl. Like, I'm literally
-I'm going insane.
-It's okay.
-How are you?
-Nothing
Are you okay?
Yes, pookies.
I'm just stressed out.
Why are you stressed out?
-'Cause so much is changing.
-Yeah.
I'm so jet-lagged.
-I'm hungry.
-And I'm hungry.
-I'm hungry.
-I'm hungry.
I'm tired.
Okay, when I first came,
I was so scared of everybody.
Especially, like,
Megan and Emily and Adéla.
'Cause they were so good,
and, like, I thought that
they were so, like, untouchable.
I don't know, I feel like we went through
such an intense experience together,
like, with this going public,
with that,
we got so close with each other.
But I feel like now's the time where
we can't root for our friends.
I had COVID,
so I was out for a bit.
And I was actually really sad
that I couldn't fly out with the girls.
It was exciting 'cause we went public,
and I got a lot of support from fans,
so that was crazy.
So yeah, I'm excited to be here,
but I'm also super tired
and I need to sleep.
Okay.
Yeah. Okay. Thank you.
- Are you still jet-lagged at all?
- Yes.
I deadass thought
they weren't going to eliminate anyone.
I was like, "Mmm, no, it's just for drama.
They're not actually gonna do it."
It was such a shock for me
when they said my name.
- Yeah.
- I was like "What?"
We didn't get really, like,
time to process it, you know?
I haven't even processed
that we went public yet.
You start doubting yourself
when you only get criticism.
- Exactly. And
- But you have all these people online
- Yes. Supportive.
- being, like, "You rock."
And that's what motivates me again
when I'm not
We have five more minutes.
-Then we have to go.
-Shit. Okay.
- Hi!
- Hi!
- Hi.
- Hey.
- How are you?
- I'm doing good.
- You okay, Manon?
- Yeah.
We don't get a break, right?
I didn't get time to teach her.
Sophia just gave me
the dirtiest look on planet Earth.
- Why?
- I don't know.
- Good morning.
- Morning!
Sohey!
Anyong haseyo.
Anyong haseyo.
Guys, we're here.
Everything is so, like, new,
and a lot of things are happening.
People are going home.
You know? There's a lot of feelings,
but try to focus on yourself.
People are watching you, you know?
Don't forget that.
I'm sure you're feeling it,
so make every second count.
Before you know it, it'll be over.
Yeah, it's going down.
Okay, let's go from the top.
So very early on,
we started to have them
memorize these covers,
because with dance,
a lot of stuff is muscle memory.
My eyes are shining with desire ♪
Our group for "Antifragile"
has three people that were in the top six
for Mission One.
So me, Sophia, and Yoonchae,
which I think is an advantage,
but I don't wanna get comfortable.
You know what I mean? Like, I feel like
that can come with a downside to it.
Like, voters can also get comfortable,
'cause they're like,
"They're already
in the top six. They'll be fine."
Like, we can't
We can't have that.
I think I'm in such a good place
because I have
a lot of people supporting me,
especially coming from my home country.
I am blessed to be put
in a group with two other girls
who were also in the top six
the last mission.
Once I was informed that
they were gonna be my group members,
automatically, I felt like
I could trust them
skill set-wise and work ethic-wise.
Mark your breaths for singing.
Rock it, twist it, lock it, baby ♪
All I know is you can't chain me ♪
'Cause I'm gonna break out
Gonna, gonna break out ♪
The first time we had to
sing and dance at the same time,
all of us were like
dying.
Because we had them
so separate for so long
that, like, combining them,
it was like an out-of-body experience.
We're trying
to breathe collectively, so
Anti-ti-ti-ti-fragile, fragile ♪
So that we don't have
all that huff and puff on the mic.
And now it's, like,
gonna make or break if we're in the group.
We just need to push
and push and push and push.
Now what I wanna do,
I wanna take it from the top,
and I wanna take it moment
Not moment by moment,
but section by section,
and really dissect and analyze
each and every one of you.
How can you be more honest
and real within your dancing
to connect to people?
Does that make sense?
That's how you're gonna get people
to vote for you.
It's nice to see you, Manon.
It's been a minute.
Let's go. Let 'em see your face.
Yes,
I've missed practice and rehearsals.
I missed rehearsals 'cause I was sick,
or I used to get really sore.
I looked at this school
where, you know, taking a day off is okay.
I realized real quick that
that is not the case.
six
As a team,
you wanna trust people,
and a lot of us
still haven't built that trust in her,
even though we've been training
for a really long time,
because she never came to rehearsals.
And a lot of us, specifically,
have been here from the start,
and we've worked really, really hard,
so sometimes it just feels like
a little slap in the face.
Yeah.
Manon, a bit deeper in that hip.
And a bit more opposition in the shoulder.
I think. If you're not ziggy wooing,
you're not doin'.
Here we go.
Two and a three. Four and a five
I need to hold myself accountable
for what has happened.
Having that lower skill set,
especially in the beginning,
I was, like, in shock.
And I'd never felt
insecurity like that before,
and I kind of had to gain back
my confidence.
I wish I could talk to Manon back then.
What would you
have told Manon back then?
That I'm so much stronger
than I think I am.
Um, yeah.
Whoa, oh, oh
Got no fear today! Okay ♪
That's it, y'all.
The movement's great.
Now it's time to become superstars.
You, you, you, you, like it's magnetic ♪
You, you, you, you,
You, you, you, you, super ♪
Marquise, for your facials,
look more joyful.
Okay? You look a little mad.
The schedule a year ago
is not what it is today.
It's not just a straight-up
singing and dancing anymore.
It is gonna be photo shoots,
meetings with our marketing team
The biggest reason I wanted them in Korea
is because in K-pop,
communicating with core fandom is crucial.
And these core fans find it necessary
to be physically close to the artists.
So I wanted them to feel an attachment
to the contestants before debut.
The first ever K-pop choreography
I've learned was Run BTS by BTS.
BTS was the first ever K-pop group
I was ever introduced to,
so I just knew I had to learn it.
That's so cool.
Those are the blankets
They're so pretty.
Stop!
We heard We heard you guys
are practicing our songs, right?
Yeah!
So how has it been?
I think, like, one of our worries
is definitely the fact that we all have
built such a connection with each other.
Now that we've reached the phase
where it's truly a competition,
that's the hardest part about it,
is, like, being able
to root for your sisters,
but also thinking about yourself.
The five of us can all kind of relate.
Goodbyes are unfortunately inevitable,
but I think that is a part of growing,
and it's important
to continue rooting each other on.
That's the best way to keep going forward,
just knowing that you will always
have each other's backs.
Actually, after BTS,
I've never met any trainees in my company.
This is the first ever in history.
Oh wow.
- Who can speak Korean?
- Oh, do I count?
- Ezrela is fluent.
- Let me hear you speak Korean.
Hi, I'm Ezrela.
Wow.
And I'm very nervous right now.
She says she's not fluent,
but she's so good.
Can they go to theme park?
They can't. They're too busy.
Dream Academy!
-Oh!
-Ah!
Fans pay attention
to the contestant's relationship
even when the actual performance
is not there,
because the friendship,
it's also one of the reasons why
the fans support the teams as well.
Hey, guys. Come with us
to a Korean convenience store.
-I'm so excited.
-I can't wait.
We have to promote, like, ourselves
and our group for people to vote.
Welcome to the convenience store
in Seoul, and let's get some snacks.
Each member needs a lot of votes
in order to get the group's ranking up.
Hey, guys. Today I'm gonna show you
what I got from Olive Young,
my favorite store out here.
Lots of TikToks and Instagram Stories
and Instagram posts. Yeah.
Okay, guys, we're back.
Did you miss us? 'Cause we missed you.
I just posted
a dance cover with Yoonchae.
And people were like, "Oh,
I stan Yoonchae now because of this."
They were my supporters.
And so we have to make content.
You can't be in a group
and hate each other.
That's gonna read on camera,
and that won't look good.
Even though Emily's literally
the best dancer in this whole program,
like, she sadly didn't get a lot of votes.
So we're like, okay,
we need to lift her up.
Like, the four of us need to be a unit.
- It was pretty
- You need to see my bed.
She has a little dungeon.
It's a dungeon, and it's so, like
So much privacy.
I'm on the top bunk,
but I had to push my bed this way
because they had it up to the railing.
-She was gonna fall.
-Where I will fall off.
We got these two cute
Cute little things.
Look at our little flower.
We got a flower.
We got a plant.
Everybody called us an old married couple.
It looks like we've been here
for the whole month we're gonna be here.
- Never lived without our parents.
- We're trying to adult.
We went shopping yesterday,
and we didn't get anything to cook.
We just got
lettuce and broccoli.
- Okay.
- We're low-key chefs, so
I'm a little scared.
Stop it. It's good.
-Okay, that's fire.
-It's good.
That's really good.
This is fire.

- Just think

Mmm-mmm-mmm ♪
Nice, Lexie.
Fearless group one
is weaker than Fearless group two.
Even though I think they're more friendly,
I just think when they perform,
it doesn't seem, like, as girl group-y.
Fearless group two, despite being upset
with Manon missing a lot,
I think that there is a lot
of good potential there and chemistry.
The biggest thing
and what they've always desired
is Manon to show up.
If they all just show up
and they're healthy,
I think they have everything they need
to execute what needs to be done.
I'm fearless ♪
When you have a group,
you can't have
everybody at the same level.
Like, not everybody
can be an amazing dancer.
That's why we have
our dancers and our singers.
But teamwork is super important,
especially 'cause we are a group.
I do see myself as one of the top girls
just because you have to think like that.
You have to be positive.
I'm never gonna think, like, "Oh,
I'm the weakest here. Like, I suck,"
because that mentality
is not gonna get you anywhere.
Antifragile group one
is probably the best group,
I would even go out there to say.
There's really clear leadership
happening from Lara on the vocal side
and dance side from Emily.
Anti-ti-ti-ti fragile, fragile ♪
The Antifragile group two
is Karlee, Iliya, Megan, Samara.
They don't have as good
of a friendship dynamic as the first one,
and I think you see that.
Adéla used to be part of that group.
Megan is stepping in
in place of what Adéla has rehearsed.
It's just been a little difficult,
but yeah, the girls are trying.
I want us to do good
because I believe in us,
and we're really strong,
and I'm so grateful
that I get to do this with you guys.
Just, like, shine as freaking bright
as a diamond, okay? I'm just I believe
Adéla got eliminated,
and I was in the group
with two of her best friends.
They didn't have time
to process Adéla's leaving.
The four of us haven't
worked together in a group,
so it's really interesting.
And five, ha, ha, one.
Not saying we aren't close,
but Samara had to move
from the other team to our team.
Parts changed, formations changed,
our entire group changed.
One.
I'm not I'm not convinced.
Mission Two is, like,
the hardest mission for me mentally.
My confidence being so down,
and then my best friend
just got sent home,
and I had to learn her dance.
It feels like I was being blamed
for taking Adéla's spot,
which was not true,
because I deserve to be here.
I worked my very hardest to be here.
They looked at me like I killed someone.
I don't do really well
with, like, sudden changes.
Like, I need to really sit with myself
and let myself process things.
I wanna stay home
and never, like, come out of my room.
It's over for me.
Like, it's Like, I'm done.
Something weird, Megan, on your

-Yeah.
Even though "It's the last rehearsal,"
it's like, "Oh, it's the last rehearsal."
No, this is her first reher
It's her first and last rehearsal.
We get it.
No one's looking at you crazy.
So have a cry.
I'll cry with you,
because that's what I do
when I see my girls cry. Um
I'll cry with you, because I get it.
We've been shredding this a different way
for two and a half months.
But if anybody can do it, it's you.
Isn't it crazy
how we're all in "Antifragile"?
It is crazy.
- Yeah.
- But Mission Two has been like
- Emotional.
- It's been really stressful.
And very emotional.
Mission One was a breeze compared to this.
I was so stressed out for my
Top of the world, I wave ♪

So stressed out
that I started singing the

- I was like, "Wait"
- Are you wearing Adéla's outfit?
-Yes.
-Bruh.
I cannot.
We were talking yesterday
about how much we miss Adéla.
I miss when she would read me.
- Yeah.
- It was always the best push.
It was the best push.
You look cold.
No, I'm okay.
These dress shoes are killing me.
We tried too hard!
You look great.
Your mom and I
were at the salon this morning.
My family is my mom,
dad, older sister, and my cat Leo.
Since we start at 9:00 a.m.,
I just wash my face and brush my teeth.
In order to become
a K-pop idol, I trained for two years.
Then I got the opportunity
to train at this label.
When I was in elementary school,
I came across some of BTS' music videos
and became a fan.
Ever since, I've been watching
their videos and nurturing my dream.
Your dreams
never changed, right?
- Yes.
- That was so fascinating.
So in sixth grade, I asked
if she wanted to attend an academy.
She said yes, and she went for a bit.
But Yoonchae
had such a hard time then.
You were growing,
but they told you to lose weight.
Every day, I would go straight
to training sessions after school,
then come back home.
It was always the same routine.
I never had a social life.
- I cried a lot because of that in school.
- I know.
I think that was admirable,
the fact that you had that courage.
This whole training process
has made me more passionate
about my dream.
I can't give up easily.
Achieving this goal
will be a dream come true.
I'll be elated and overjoyed.
It's going to be great.
Get in there.
Two, three.
Slay!
-Can't wait.
-Slay!
Wow!
- Can you do the leg thing?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Wow.

Dream Academy.
My favorite was
For "Antifragile," it was team A.
And then for "Fearless," it was team B.
The groups
who performed "Antifragile"
got the short end of the stick.
It is extremely hard to sing
during that specific choreography.
One person was slightly slacking
on the dancing.
They were on the right.
It might've been Brooklyn.
I think Brooklyn
really stood out.
Genuinely, like singing
and dancing together.
I just think
she's a pop star, in my opinion.
This is my group. This is my top six.
Manon A lot of y'all in the comments,
"You're only supporting her
'cause she's a brown girl."
"'Cause she's" Yes.
Samara was the star of the show.
Samara
Nayoung and Samara got to stay.
Gots to, gots to stay.
Megan,
I love Megan's dancing so much.
And her expressions were definitely
the best on the team.
She knows how to convey
Daniela owned the stage.
I will say Karlee sounded very shaky
throughout a lot of it.
I do have this feeling though
that HYBE and Geffen
do wanna debut her though.
Megan, she killed it. Like
She had so many shining moments.
She's climbing up my favorites list
I'm, like, letting all this marinate.
These are my two pyramids.
Let me back it up so y'all can see both.
This is my main group.
You kind of just chilling in the air.
But if you be right here,
like, this could be powerful.
Yeah. I don't know what else to say.
These are my thoughts.
I will probably have more later.
But we can continue discussing
when I'm off work.
These are cool.
Oh.
Hello!
-Hi!
-Hi!
-I miss you so much.
-Yes.
It's only been like two weeks.
I know, but you're never away from me
that long. You know that.
'cause I have to say it in my accent.
Wait, look.
Kuromi and Cinnamoroll.
Oh my gosh.
- Oh
- Oh!
Even the days before elimination,
I don't think I processed that, like,
in two days, four people will be gone.
Know what I'm saying?
Well, I haven't processed it.
Like that's a big energy drop,
especially depending on who goes.
Know what I'm saying?
People are gonna lose their best friends.
- Yeah.
- Not that we're all not best friends.
The halfway voting results are in.
They're out?
-Oh, shit.
-Wait, I don't wanna
- She has Wi-Fi.
- Marquise has the Wi-Fi.
No, there's Internet There's Wi-Fi here.
-I'm connected.
-Come on, Karlee.
Wait, I don't wanna
Whoa, I think I just saw.
- Sh, sh.
- Hey, which Wi-Fi is it?
Do you wanna see it?
You know what?
Just show me. Show me.
- Whoa.
- Wait.
What is this plus two
That's how many more votes you have
than the other team.
And my team is losing.
Oh!
Yeah, I think
I'm going home this round.
Yeah. I'm not even kidding.
-Stop.
-Who else are they gonna eliminate?
You never know.
They're gonna eliminate me.
If it's my team, they're gonna take me.
- You never know. Don't say that.
- Don't say that.
Adéla went home.
Anything can happen.
They're not gonna
Yeah, because she was last.
Let's be real. They're probably not gonna
wanna get rid of Samara and Megan.
You're taking this better than
If I was in your position, I'd be like
Because I already ranked 18th.
I already know what it feels like
to be the bottom.
- So this is
- I ranked 17th.
The situation just sucks.
I know.
Ah, we really don't know
what's gonna happen. It's crazy.
Honestly, team mission
is a little bit better than the individual
because at least you're in it together,
whereas the rankings
feels very, like, isolated.
Like, you're number 20,
you're number 19, you're number one.
But they're both unfair.
Before we even did the performance,
I knew which group was gonna win.
Team "Antifragile" A consists
of Sophia, Lara, Yoonchae, and Emily.
Kind of obvious
because three of those girls
were in the top six for Mission One.
I see the technical things.
I didn't complete that body wave.
I didn't whip my hair that way.
My eyes were on,
but the rest of my face wasn't.
Like, little things like that.
But it's not even bothering me anymore
because I look at comments
and then they're saying things like,
"Oh, she slayed that."
From my understanding,
to make the team,
you would need to be a good team player
and have skill.
Like, be able to perform
and blend with a group.
Skill and how
the video turns out.
What take they decide to use of you.
That's what honestly determines
your outcome.
Baby, I'm on my way ♪
I be making moves
Like a queen, checkmate ♪
Now you know my name
I'm Antifragile, antifragile ♪
Anti-ti-ti-ti fragile ♪
I know dang well
I had so many better takes
than whatever was chosen
for that Mission Two.
I call it the Megan effect.
Megan didn't have a lot of supporters
before Mission One came out,
and then boom.
She had this moment.
I call it the Pink Venom Megan Moment.
And she like
She really grabbed the audience.
Sometimes there are moments like that.
I like those moments, 'cause I think
those are well deserved moments.
Many times the labels or the people
that are involved in these survival shows,
they have an inkling of who they think
are the ones that are gonna be on top.
Then you start to see
what the fans really want.
And that can sometimes sway
what the company thinks.
This is my neighborhood.
And this is an historically famous
tteokbokki restaurant.
Dakbal.
- What is that?
- Chicken feet!
-Oh, yeah! Yeah, we're gonna do it.
-Yeah?
Okay, let's do this and this.
-Okay. Do you like cheese?
-I love cheese.
-Cheese?
-Yeah. But not too spicy.
Oh. Okay. Okay.
Thank you.
Okay!
Leave the bones
on the newspaper.
Okay, thanks.
Thank you.
Look,
it's, like, robots.
Yeah.
I've never seen something like that.
Oh really?
No.
And eat.
Wow.
Did you see the interim voting results?
How did you feel about it?
Our results aren't that good.
Yeah.
But even if my team ends up winning,
I don't think you're gonna get eliminated,
because you have a lot of
You ranked number one,
most voted last time, so you're good.
But I see my flaws
in the video,
so it's hard to predict the results.
I have those thoughts too sometimes,
where I feel like my dance
is not good enough.
People in the comments were so sweet.
And they know
that I wasn't a dancer before.
They were like, "You did so good
even though you didn't dance."
I feel like people
said the same thing about you.
So, you know, just keep pushing
and it'll be fine.
Someday, when we're gonna be
in the girl group,
we're going to be
on those screens dancing. Just saying.
Where?
On the left?
Uh. No.
Hello.
- Okay.
- All right, guys.
I'd love to welcome
our special guests.
Score,
Megatone from Producer 13,
and So Yeon Park.
They are the writers and producers
and performance director
for "Antifragile" and "Fearless,"
and I think having their expertise
on these performances
is gonna be crucial for us.
- Group A, "Antifragile."
- Okay. Yeah.
Anti-ti-ti-ti-fragile, fragile ♪
I can tell Yoonchae
has had Korean training
because she's the one
who sings most in the K-pop style.

The teamwork was great.
I should be evaluating
based on their vocal skills,
but I did enjoy
watching their performance.

'Cause I ♪
Vocal-wise,
I think Daniela stood out.
She has a good understanding
of the lyrics.
I'd like to talk
about Manon a little bit.
She has improved a lot,
and I can see she has put in the effort.
But chorus is an important moment
during the performance.
She's supposed to bring
the entire choreography to life,
but she couldn't.
Should we go
into "Fearless" for B?
Yeah.

Thank you for coming.
I think having your perspective of people
that have actually created these songs
and created the performance
and understanding that dynamic,
I think was just so helpful for us.
Thank you so much.
Okay.
Don't cry yet.
Brooklyn.
-Sorry.
-No, we're not gonna cry.
We're having boss energy today.
- We're not gonna cry.
- Good spirit.
No negative thinking, guys.
Nothing is over yet.
And then they were like,
"No, everyone!"
-And we were like, "Oh."
-Hi!
That was funny.
Miss Don't Care Queen.
Jesus.
Why is my heart pounding?
Since being in Korea,
it's been amazing to see how much
you all have grown in just a month.
Today we have 14 invitations
and there's 18 of you.
That means four of you will not be
continuing for mission number three.
Dream.
Dream.
Dream Academy.
During the voting window,
we asked each contestant
to come up with their ideal debut group.
That's such a hard question.
No one take nothing personally.
If I could pick five people
to make my own dream group?
Um Oh my gosh, this is hard.
Oh, Jesus, that's so hard.
No, that's so hard.
Everybody that I picked
I think is super talented
in both dancing and singing aspects.
Fourteen contestants
included Sophia in their debut group.
Twelve contestants
included Daniela in their debut group.
Yay.
Nine contestants
included Samara in their debut group.
Okay.
Oh my gosh!
Oh, God!
- Twelve thousand.
- Yeah.
That's a lot.
Congratulations
to Daniela, Manon, Ua,
Celeste, Ezrela, Emily
-Yoonchae
-Good job.
Lara, Sophia.
Good job.
I'm gonna pass out. I'm gonna pass out.
Four of you will not be
joining us on Mission Three.
Brooklyn
What does this mean?
Does that mean I'm safe?
-What does that mean?
-What?
- What does that mean?
- It doesn't say anything.
I think that means
I think that means you're safe.
you will not be
receiving an invitation.
- No.
- I'm sorry.
No. No, no, no, no.
This is so messed up.
Samara
step forward to receive your invitation.
Go. Go get it.
Congratulations.
Nayoung,
step forward to receive your invitation.
Karlee
you will not be
receiving an invitation.
Oh, Karlee.
Megan
step forward to receive your invitation.
Iliya
you will not be receiving an invitation.
Y'all wanted me out anyways.
Like
-What?
-Stop!
Lexie
step forward to receive your invitation.
It is between Marquise and Mei.
Oh my God.
Marquise
step forward to receive your invitation.
Congratulations.
Go, Marquise. Marquise, go get it.
Contestants,
thank you for all your amazing hard work
during Mission Two.
The countless hours of practice,
the meticulous commitment
to owning your craft,
it's all led to this moment.
Keep pushing forward
for your debut is around the corner.
It's okay.
Mei, you're gonna find people that Here.
Go shine.
Sophia, stop Stop crying.
I'm crying
because I'm not gonna see you.
-I fucking love you guys.
-So sad.
-You're a superstar.
-You voted me out.
- You voted me out.
- Iliya, listen to me.
No, I'm listening to you.
Don't say it. You don't have to say
You don't have to say anything.
- I look up to you.
- Thank you.
- I'm sorry I'm crying.
- Thank you. Don't cry.
Don't cry. You're staying,
and you got this, okay?
I wish I could have kept going
on this journey.
- We got to do Korea together.
- Yeah.
I'm so glad I got to sit next to you
for 14 hours straight.
Stop. What the heck?
You came in with everything you had.
Congratulations. I mean it.
Be happy, okay? Be happy.
It feels like we've reached
a breaking point.
Mentally, physically,
I think the girls are just done.
They made us pick
who would be in our final lineup,
and that did cause tension between us,
especially being put on the Internet.
Like, it's so weird,
'cause I love every single one,
but you can't pick every single one.
Like, it kind of makes me, like
Like, sick a little bit.
We wanted to up the ante.
It's a survival show.
You have to create that drama.
You have to create that competition.
It's entertainment.
And this is what the fans really want.
That whole situation
just broke my heart.
I feel like I lost Lexie.
I don't recognize myself really anymore.
Having the TV just be Show your picture
and, like, you're out of here,
that's, like, crazy to me.
They're starting to, like, question,
"What is going on here?"
You know what I mean?
Like, "Do I even wanna, like, be here?"
It's been a week.
From my understanding,
you've missed over ten days of rehearsal.
It's really clear to us
that you don't wanna be here anymore,
and it's also affecting
everybody in the group.
So we have to let you go.
