It's time to roll the dice ♪
Hello?
I have something to tell you guys.
Oh, no! What happened?
I'm in the top ten.
Oh my God!
Oh my God!
- Mom, I
- Hey, how are you?
- I made it.
- Oh my God!
Wait, I'm gonna call
I'm gonna call you, not FaceTime.
I'm spray tanning.
I don't wanna be on camera.
Okay. Okay, bye.
She got a spray tan, so she doesn't wanna
The last four were me, Ua,
Nayoung, and Celeste.
Yoonchae,
please step forward
to receive your invitation.
When my name was called last,
I was happy, but
the two people
that I relied on the most are out.
Dream Academy
was a very big opportunity for me.
I'm really sad right now,
but I know I'll be okay.
I had my doubts pursuing
this path, but didn't expect this.
Why is Nayoung third with 34,000?
What the hell?
And Celeste's really high up,
and she went home.
-Did I miss something?
-That had to be a judge's decision.
Dream Academy,
what the heck are y'all doing?
I really like Nayoung.
Maybe it'll be better for her
in the long run.
- Should I go solo?
- You're thinking, "I used to only sing"?
Exactly! And I wouldn't have to dance!
I don't think Nayoung
ever really wanted to be in the group,
and we have to take note of that.
We all want this to be successful
because we know the stakes are high,
we know the investment is high,
and we all passionately believe
in this project.
When I keep a close watch,
there's always a moment
where I realize who will be
the key members of the group,
whether they will be successful,
and what their identity should be.
There's always that moment.
Hi!
-Oh my gosh, I'm so excited.
-It is amazing.
It's Tetris with Billboard News,
hanging out with my friends
from the Dream Academy. Hi, ladies.
- Hi!
- What a journey it's been.
And now we're here at the top ten.
I have seen the rise
of competitiveness
happen with these last top ten.
Whether that is over, like, fandoms
I think my final six
are Daniela, Sophia, Lara.
There's Lara, Sophia, Daniela.
Ezrela, Lara, Daniela.
Sophia, Emily, and Daniela.
And there's gonna be a competition
between both the Indian girls,
Samara and Manon.
I'm happy Manon made it in.
Obviously, she can get better at dancing.
She's gotta work
on her facial expressions.
They're hard.
They all really want this,
they're going after it, and it's intense.
Like, you could feel it. I feel it.
- Where's the lighter?
- Ooh.
You're dripping the wax!
Now we wait.
Miss Lara, where are you?
-Where is it?
-She was supposed to be here at 12.
Okay, I'm getting really scared.
It's like, at the bottom.
-We shouldn't have blowed it so early.
-Should we blow it out?
-Yeah, maybe we should do that.
-Okay, let's do it again.
Dang it! Where is she?
Thirty-five minutes late.
She's gonna be here any second.
Wait, there's a Tesla coming in.
It's white though.
- That's probably Son!
- Is that Son?
It's Son!
No!
-No!
-Why?
-Oh, wait
-Why?
Stand up, he sees us.
He sees us.
He'll be like,
"Why aren't you in rehearsal?"
-She's here!
-Okay.
-Someone needs to open the door.
-Go now.
Happy birthday to you ♪
I can't even put it into words.
Like, I've never
wanted something this bad.
Adult.
Woo!
Yes!
When I first came to the program,
I still had those, like, lingering dreams
of being a solo artist,
but my dream now is to be in a girl group.
There's just this energy
that I get from the girls
when we're performing on stage.
It's just so much more fun and exciting
to be with your besties rather than alone.
If I make the girl group,
that's when my life
really, like, starts.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
Like, I was telling my siblings,
I was like, "I could be back
in Australia this weekend."
My debut is literally
the Philippines debuting too.
It's overwhelming,
but I don't feel overwhelmed
in a bad way right now.
I feel so much love and support.
If I made it to the group,
it would mean everything,
because when you come from
a reality like mine,
like, I grew up poor,
you never thought that something
like this would happen to you.
All right!
I tried to take this off,
but then I had to put it back
because I realized
this is keeping me, like
I told you. Yeah, this is
This helps, like, the
-Yeah.
-Compression.
I got injured, like,
on my knee last week,
and I'm supposed to rest
for at least, like, a week or two,
but we're just almost at the end,
so I need to keep pushing.
Oh baby, this is the part
When I say I don't want ya ♪
"Break Free" is the one dance
we've been practicing for, like, ever.
But with that, like, it's become so, like
perfect.
This is the part
When I say I don't want ya ♪
I'm stronger than I've been before ♪
This is the part when I break free ♪
Oh my God.
Okay.
- What happened?
- What happened?
-Ice? Somebody get ice, please?
-Yeah.
Samara's really hurt.
-You felt Was it a sharp pain?
-She needs to probably go to the ER. Yes.
For the rest of the day today,
just, like, ice it as much as you can.
And don't move it and elevate it.
-Yeah, go to, um
-Water.
Go see a doctor.
- Is that the car?
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Bye!
- I'll pray for you to get better.
- Bye! Love you!
It's unfortunate, but the show must go on.
Here's the game plan.
Let's pray for Samara,
but in the meantime, I wanna be prepared
just in case she wouldn't be able
to participate tomorrow.
-'Cause we only have an hour.
-Okay.
Yeah? All right!
This is the perfect example
of how to roll with the punches as we go.
Last time! Have fun!
We are reacting to the Dream Academy
bonus performance.
The finale is in a few days.
Oh my God.
It's been a journey
with this song.
- I should have said it before ♪
- One, two, three.
Tried to hide it ♪
Gorgeous.
Fake it ♪
I can't pretend anymore, ooh ♪
I only wanna die alive ♪
I remember rehearsals with Nikky.
She was like, "This will be the hardest
thing you've ever done in your life."
We're not moving on until
every single one of you gets this step.
We'll spend the two hours today
getting this barrel jump.
This is the part when I ♪
Say I don't want ya ♪
I'm stronger than ♪
Look at Manon, she's so cute!
Her reactions are good,
whoever that is.
when I break free ♪
Am I tripping or do I not see Samara?
Oh! "Due to recent knee injury,
Samara was unable to fully join
the shoot for this performance."
What?
Who beat her ass? Somebody beat her ass.
When I got here,
I couldn't do "Break Free."
Also for me, I wanted to do it.
- To, like, prove a point.
- Yeah.
It's not like you're choosing not to.
It's not like you've been eliminated.
It's just, like, you're hurt.
And hopefully it's not bad enough
that you won't get to do the live show.
Oh baby, this is ♪
Well, I heard
you need a tenth member, so
I don't know if Samara's outfit's
gonna fit. So hopefully, I can just
- You better pull up now.
- Yeah.
Find it immediately.
'Cause I can't resist it no more ♪
This is the part when ♪
This is your last opportunity
before the finale
to prove that you deserve
to be in the group.
-I just can't make it.
-You can't make it?
You made it in rehearsal.
What happened?
It's still a competition,
and people are watching you every second.
Ooh! That was so good!
You gotta end it with Cinna-Manon.
See, they starting to figure out.
They start
They getting it.
She's the it-girl of this group.
And cut!
Cutting.
Guys we're officially breaking free!
But now we have
a live-show finale to prepare for,
and we have three original songs.
You finished three rounds of missions.
So can you tell us how you feel,
and how you're preparing
for the final performance?
I think we're all really excited
for the finale
and for the fans to see
what we've been working on.
We're gonna perform for the first time
to a big audience.
It's also the first time
we're gonna do original songs.
It's just so cool
that we are the first people
that get to present this song
to the world.
A little bit classic, whole lot savage ♪
Put this on the platter ♪
The live finale is a culmination
of the 12 weeks of the missions.
It's the last challenge
into whose gonna be selected in the group.
This will be streamed
to millions of people around the world.
We are exactly ten days out
from our show date.
There will be three performances,
two groups of five,
and one of all ten contestants.
There is an element of fan voting.
So the fans will get to participate
in who makes it into the group.
There will be judges there
who will be picking their favorites
in each performance.
We come back out to stage,
and then each of the three judges
will pick one contestant
that they thought performed the best.
And then we'll go into
team number two, "Dirty Water."
Control myself ♪
The groups were chosen
strictly on balance.
We had to make sure that one team
didn't have a stronger skill set
than the other team.
After we come out of
"Dirty Water," same thing.
The judges will have their judges' pick.
We're gonna have early fan voting.
We will also have live voting
while the live finale is going on.
And then of course, the judges'
evaluations will be taken into play.
Our last performance,
"All The Same," with all ten contestants.
This is the last performance
that the girls will get to do
with all ten final members
before we announce the final six.
"All The Same" is the only performance
that we will have
on-stage live performance.
The thing was to show
something original,
rather than doing covers.
To test different genres
and themes of the songs
so that we can see
what would be this group's identity.
The voting is now closed.
And then after that,
we'll go into our final elimination.
We are going to select
the final six members
by combining the fan votes
and the judges' scores.
But since I have my personal preferences,
I thought about increasing the weight
of the judges' scores
to get the results I want.
But that defeats the purpose
of a survival show
and betrays the trust of the fans.
So I can have my hopes up,
but I can't do much about it.
I think that's it today.
Thank you so much for your time.
Thank you.
When I came here, I was like,
"Oh, I just have to make
these executives fall in love with me."
But now it's executives and fans,
who you just You never know
how people are gonna react to what you do,
or, like, who you are.
You just never know.
People are hating on me
or something like that.
So it's kind of like they don't know me.
And I'm just like,
"Believe in me. Know me."
So that's what matters to me.
It's hard to
not let them shake you.
I really wanna work on my confidence
and not letting those comments
dim my sparkle.
There's so much going on
with the finale and rehearsing and stuff.
But I think we're all pretty
like, emotional going into it.
Because it's, like
This has been our life for so long.
Marquise-a!
It's so insane
how far we've come.
A lot of us here have been doing this
for, like, almost two years,
and we're down to, like, the last week.
Little screens of things with jealousy ♪
It's feedin' all this drama ♪
Sippin' tea that we don't need ♪
-Acting like we don't see the karma ♪
-See the karma ♪
Karma ♪
This is like the hardest day
out of the year so far.
Oh babe, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
-We got this.
-We got it.
I love you. I'm here.
-That vocal take was okay?
-It was.
-Can you use that one? Okay.
-Yeah.
This feels unreal.
Like, singing in front of others
is fairly new to me,
so I tend to get in my head a lot.
But I'm also excited.
Like, I've been working for this.
I'm also, like, ready
to show off a little bit.
Right now,
I'm just, like, trying to take it all in
and just have fun with the girls.
We know how heavy this is,
that we're trying to spend as much time
in the present as we can.
If that makes sense.
Okay, guys,
we have six spots and ten girls.
So how we're gonna pick
is through a combination of fan votes
and judges' scoring.
One of the many things
that this program's taught me
is that you can never write anyone off.
Maybe we start with Yoonchae.
I think her youth is her strength.
It could end up being her downfall.
Even if she doesn't make
the group this week,
I think give her another 18 to 24 months
and she'll be better than we can imagine.
Okay, Sophia,
I have seen when she does check out,
and she can come off boring.
She doesn't have any problems.
She's good in vocals and dancing,
she has talent and wit.
But there's nothing about her
that makes me go, "She's the one."
I really, really like Marquise. A lot.
But I think her weakness
is her confidence.
I have to really focus on Megan
in order to see her charm.
With her,
it's just the fan voting.
There seems to be some disconnect,
which you can't put your finger on.
I don't know why the fans
will not resonate with her
and why her voting is so low.
And I'm not sure
I'm actually not sure, like, as a mentor
how I can help her improve it.
Samara, she's a very talented vocalist.
Her dance is not to the par
of the other girls.
One thing I worry about with Samara,
just the injuries.
The other day, watching her in rehearsal,
as soon as it stops, she has to sit down.
Ezrela, the fact that she's here
in our top ten is wild.
It's so wild,
especially if you go back to some
of our first conversations about her.
As adorable and cute as she is,
and I've seen how much she's grown,
I think it's the star quality.
I think that needs to keep improving.
Jumping to Lara.
I feel that Lara has a lot of work to do.
Her vocal talent is amazing,
but she's still trying to find her voice.
And I wanna hear Lara sing Lara.
I don't wanna hear Lara sing
like the Beyoncé version
of what she thinks is needed.
I agree.
Daniela.
For me, it's her attitude.
I think there's things
she needs to work on.
If you're gonna be a star, you've gotta
encompass everything that comes along.
Emily.
When you're trying to figure out
whose gonna be in the group,
I think a lot of it is about
how they complement other people.
I think she shines every time
you see her in a performance.
We know, as a team,
how she is with the other girls
and how supportive and kind and fun,
and just she's hilarious to be around.
Manon.
The only thing for me
is just the dedication.
But I feel like if she can just
get over that and do it,
there's a star there.
If one person isn't gonna do it,
it's gonna bring everyone down.
They all have to be giving
the same amount,
and they're giving up so much
of their lives to get to this point.
With her, I just wonder
how much she wants to really give to it.
I wanna help shape this group,
so I have to remind myself
that I believe in my opinion.
I try to let my emotions
not get the best of me,
because when you are this involved,
it's hard not to.
But at the end of the day, it's my job.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Samara's getting an MRI,
so we'll hopefully know soon if she'll
be able to participate in the finale.
If she can't, I just don't see the execs
picking her for the group.
Put your body here.
Your right knee right here.
I believe that God
has a purpose to my life,
but it is a lot of stress and pressure.
This exam is gonna take
approximately 45 minutes.
Right now, I'm trying to
not overthink about what's gonna happen.
I'm just like
I hope I make it to the group.
So thanks
for joining today's meeting.
This name should represent you guys,
so we'd really like to hear
your opinions on these name candidates,
because this name
should be your name, not our name.
I kind of saw your reaction to this name.
You guys didn't expect this name, I know.
NEWCRAZY and KATSEYE
and dreamscape.
So I will give you guys time
to, like, express your opinions
and share your thoughts
just between you guys, not with me.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
-I'm so proud of you guys. You made it.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
-We already
-It's KATSEYE.
It's KATSEYE!
We already thought about it!
What are your guys', like,
individual thoughts on NEWCRAZY?
It didn't resonate with me.
I think that NEWCRAZY
feels very, like, dated.
Like, it feels like
it can be one era, it's one sound.
I just think KATSEYE,
even if they do wanna start
in a more, like, young and fresh concept,
it can still match that
and then it can grow into something
more mature and sensual and, like, hot.
You know how we, like,
love to perform through our eyes?
I feel like that gives,
like, KATSEYE, like
-Totally.
-Did you like KATSEYE?
-I like KATSEYE.
-KATSEYE.
-Really?
-Yes.
NEWCRAZY feels like really crazy.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Now we have to learn how to roll our Rs.
Yes!
Purrr!
Like Rrrr!
Imagine lights out,
darkness, stadium, okay?
Fans cheering.
- Lights go No, lights still off.
- Yeah!
Lasers, lasers.
Everyone silent, and you just hear
Everyone goes crazy!
-Yes!
-Yes!
-Amazing.
-That's it!
That is it!
- Got it.
- Meeting adjourned.
Great meeting.
Great discussion.
I'm anxious
'cause I haven't practiced with the girls.
- How are you?
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Good to see you. How are things feeling?
Um, a little bit better.
So let's take a look at it.
And this is the meniscus or the cartilage
on the inside part of the knee.
- No damage. That's good news.
- Okay.
ACL ligament looks fine.
That's all really good news.
So it looks like
we've ruled out all the bad stuff.
-That's what you wanna hear.
-Yes.
You've got a bit of tendinitis
around the kneecap.
And you'll be able to dance
on Saturday. Okay?
- Good news.
- Thank you.
Good to see everybody.
See you in two weeks.
-Okay.
-Take care.
- How do you feel?
- Good.
- You relieved?
- Yeah.
- It's good news.
- Yeah, it is.
Don't you know
We're all the same ♪
Yes.
Just float, then jump, jump, jump.
Don't you know ♪
See, you're up here.
Okay. Sit down.
For the next take,
dedicate the next run to the old you.
You know? When you joined this program.
So do it for yourself.
- Sohey!
- What?
Tomorrow is just
the end of the beginning.
Let's tap in and give it all
for the last time.
One, two, three.
KATSEYE!
Imagine tomorrow,
"You are NEWCRAZY!"
- Let's do three.
- No!
-Three, two
-Stop manifesting.
NEWCRAZY!
-Dreamscape.
-No.
No! Okay, fine.
- What's the other one?
- One, two, three.

I looked at you
Who started crying?
- Who started it?
- It was me.
You don't know when it hits you.
Sit in it.
Sit in it for the rest of the day.
Sit in it and process it,
because you're prepared.
Yeah.
I just wanna say one thing, though.
Don't let this happen tomorrow.
The same energy,
remember this feeling,
but please keep it professional.
And that's it, I can't wait to see you.
Your face!
Thank you, Sohey
as always.
I just started
manifesting every day.
"I'm in the girl group."
Then I was like,
I need to be more specific.
"I'm in Hybe x Geffen girl group 2023."
"They've already decided on me."
"I've proved people wrong
with my success."
"Execs already picked me for the group.
I'm in the girl group."
"Execs already picked me."
"My name is one of the six chosen."
And then,
"Execs already chose me for the group."
And, "I'm in the girl group."
And the rest will be
history, I guess. I don't know.
Oy, oy, oy.
Oy.
Now I have to pick out
my outfit for tonight.
We have an after party.
I'm nervous to see
what's gonna happen 'cause like,
I was manifesting
that I'm in this group,
this is meant for me,
this is the path for me,
but I don't wanna, like,
get my hopes up too
and then, like, not get picked.
I have a really strong feeling
that, like, Lara, or, like,
Sophia and Emily, or Dani
are gonna make it into the group.
I think there's just so many factors
that go into the picking
that I can't even, like, really tell
what direction they're going, so
Are you crying?
Because it's a big day.
Big day for you, big day for
what you've been working for. Um
This is Just boils down to this day.
Aw.
Aw.
I got her a lei.
This is a Hawaiian tradition
that any concert or anything,
they'll get a lei at the end,
and I'm preparing this for tonight.
I want all the girls to have something,
you know, from Hawaii,
just to congratulate them.
Dirty water in my cup ♪
Feelin' like a million bucks right now ♪
I understand
the whole concept of the song,
but I still don't know
what "dirty water" means.
Good luck, Sami.
I love you so much.
Thank you.
Hey.
Apparently, everyone is
dressing up tonight.
- Like, heels and everything.
- Well, we're Heels?
- Yeah.
- Heels?
Who's everyone?
- Like, Manon, Sophia.
- Sophia?
- Lara.
- Of course Sophia would.
So the people that are getting in.
Now that you say that, I might.
-Yeah, I'm not
-I don't think I'm going to.
Ezrela, stop.
-Come on!
-Yeah, Ezrela, stop.
Isn't it crazy that literally right after,
like, we're going to be separated?
I know.
I think some of us
are, like, really excited.
I think some people kind of have a feeling
that they're already in the group.
-I think some of us
-Have a feeling they're not.
have a feeling they're not.
And I think some of us
have no idea what to expect.
People are pitting me and Lara
against each other as the two Indians.
And clearly, from what's being seen,
she is so, like, popular
and like
And is so amazing at what she's doing.
There's no doubt that, like,
if she's in the group, I'm not in it.
And you could get regretful about it,
but I'm not.
Because if I'm not in it,
I know she's there.
And that matters so much to me
because that's what my dream is,
to have that Indian representation,
whether it's me or not.
So I'm just trying to act like myself
and be my most brightest self,
because I don't want
to make this day a bad memory.
It's just, like, really sad,
because it's the last day
that we're all together.
Two years, almost two years of something.
And, like, no matter what,
like, it's ending.
And like
I have no idea how it's gonna go tonight,
but I am just really hoping for the best,
'cause I know
I'm meant to be in the group,
and it's just like
I think it's just, like,
setting in that it's, like, all ending.
Yeah.
Y'all are awfully quiet.
Some of us don't know
the future of our lives.
How do you feel?
I don't know.
I'll see y'all later.
Exit right to exit

- Love you.
She's gone. Let's see tonight.
Go, Manon!
It's a presence.
You have to kind of command
the room when you walk into it.
If you can command the room via YouTube,

on stage, off-stage.
She's a star.
Son.
Lara.

Lara!
Honestly, I was worried about
her performance more than her vocals.
But her performance today,
the sheer amount of energy,
proved that she's improved enough
to lead the whole team.
I was very happy.
What a fabulous performance.
You can go ahead and head backstage.
Good job, ladies.
Come on, top pick?

That was so fast.
That was so fast.
I don't know what I just did.

I have no idea what I just did.
Oh my God.
We're gonna spend
our lives together.
- We're in the group together.
- Love you guys.
- I love you guys so much.
- Oh, God. Here we go.
Okay,
the votes have been tallied,
which means we are seconds away
from announcing the group.
I think it's gonna be
absolute heartbreak
for the girls that don't make it.
For the girls that do make it,
I think it's gonna feel surreal.
I don't think that
it will register with them,
because it's so much to take in.
I think they will just be in shock,
to be honest.
If your name is called,
please step into the debut zone.
Oh my God.
That is the longest pause ever. Why?
The first member is from
the Philippines!
It's Sophia!
Step here, please.
Lara!
Yoonchae!
Good job, Yoonchae.
Good job, Yoonchae.
I am so proud of you.
Megan!
Daniela!
There is just one spot left.
The member to fulfill her dream today is
Say Emily.
Manon from Switzerland!
Oh my God!
Come on.
I love you. I love you.
Congratulations.
Oh my God!
Good job.
I love you all.
I love you so much.
back over. KATSEYE,
come on over here.
Now, one more time, can you guys
make some noise for KATSEYE?
Oh my God!
Oh my God.
- Congratulations!
- Everybody!
-I love everybody!
-Sophia!
Stop!
We're there. We're done. It's done.
-We're there.
-We did it!
You're the baby of the group!
This doesn't feel real.
Megan!
Oh, Megan!
Son Son hugged me!
Y'all come show up. It's Super Bowl!
I'm going to be living
the rest of my life with you guys.
We're going to be famous!
Thank you for being there for me.
- Of course.
- Like, literally, the whole journey.
Oh my God, we're in a girl group.
Hey, Emily, Adéla's here.
I'm here.
Sorry, I'm just a little emotional.
I wonder why?
You did so good.
You did so good.
It has nothing to do with your talent,
or anything under your control.
You did everything you could.
You did so good. I'm so proud of you.
Come. Come sit.
I manifested a lot.
Yeah? What did you manifest?
It didn't work out.
But I'm just gonna say
Well, sometimes,
it doesn't work out like
-The way that you think it will.
-In the way Yeah.
But it's gonna work out some other way.
You're gonna be a star. Come on.
- I think this just wasn't for you.
- Yeah.
And you made it far.
So The farthest you could.
Literally fucking holding on
for dear life.
You did so good.
I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
So proud.
When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever ♪
Honestly,
I'm, like, really in peace.
I Of course I'm sad.
Like, that was the opportunity of my life.
But I know that I did all I could.
Oh my God! Look at you!
Thank you!
-You've done great.
-Thank you!
We've gone through a lot. Great job.
Wherever you end up,
I know you'll attack it with confidence.
I'm sure we'll meet again at some of
One of the stages somewhere.
That's a promise!
Thank you!
I think I became an adult here.
I feel like I finally found myself.
I've always wondered,
"What does Ezrela like?"
"What sort of music does Ezrela like?
What sort of aesthetic is Ezrela?"
"What hair, like, suits her,
and what fashion is like so her?"
And I feel like I finally
got to figure all of that out,
and I think that's amazing.
I love you so, so, so much.
I love you so, so, so much.
They knew they couldn't have both of us
because socially awkward people,
they only need one.
I wish it wasn't true ♪
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
All right, everyone!
-Thank you!
-Thank you!
- Son.
- Congratulations.
Thanks, Son!
Yeah!
-Bye!
-Bye!
Hi, baby!
-Whoa!
-Congratulations!
I love you!
- Congrats!
- Thank you!
Does it feel real yet?
No, not at all.
Low-key, no.
I feel like it won't really hit me
until, like, we're on stage.
Convincing myself that I'm in the group
has been easier than when I came
from the Philippines to here
and convincing myself
that I was in the program.
-Boom.
-Boom.
Oh my God!
I have told the girls a few times,
I've always wanted to have boys
when I have kids.
But now,
going through this journey
with all young women,
that I would love to have a girl.
They're just so full of life
and have so many different emotions,
which also makes them so difficult.
But I would really love
to experience that with my own child.
When I first joined, I was like,
"How am I gonna debut?"
You know, "How am I gonna keep up?"
I wasn't that disciplined,
'cause I never had,
like, intense rehearsals like this,
I didn't know that etiquette that well.
But I'm so happy and so proud
that I've learned that.
Before the program,
I didn't have a lot of girlfriends,
so I think one of the biggest things
that I've learned
is to be uncomfortable
so that you can get comfortable
with yourself.
I think the biggest lesson
that I've learned
is probably how,
like, strong your mental is.
It clicked for me
once I tapped into my confidence
and let that perfectionism side of me go.
I was so happy to work
with the other talented trainees
in this program.
It motivated me
to push myself harder as well.
Even though I feel like
I've changed a lot
Maybe not my makeup.
We're never gonna change that.
But I learned that, like, I can never
let my, like, self go,
because like that like
Then there's nothing special
about me anymore.
The whole experience
was so much tension
and just so much uncertainty,
so much competition and pressure.
And now that we're in KATSEYE,
it's like what we've been fighting for,
it's what we've been working towards.
And so now that we're here,
it's like we made it, and it's just
Purrrr!
