Let the great story of 99 girls begin
right here on Girls Planet 999.
TOP9 candidates are...
Nice to meet you.
There are about 6K languages on Earth.
Which language do you speak?
Korean, Chinese, and Japanese...
The girls grouped in 3 by languages
are about to meet each other.
The girls look nervous yet thrilled.
We asked them before they met each other.
'Who do you want to be connect with?'
'A girl who's been trained over 10 years.'
'A girl who can cover diverse concepts.'
'A girl who loves music.'
'A girl who believes in my potential.'
Will they connect with the girl they want?
I'm nervous.
What is this?
Hello.
What do I do?
Hello.
The moment they're connected in one beyond language and region.
The girls say their first greeting.
Ah... okay.
I'm nervous.
It's a bit awkward now
but together...
where are they headed to...?
99 girls with different languages and cultures are linked
in this world with the same dream.
This is Girls Planet 999.
Girls Planet 999's only language
is K-Pop.
They communicate in K-Pop
and head to the goal of being in a global girl group.
Now you'll witness their 3-month journey
of getting connected and growing.
Dear Planet Guardians who will protect their dream, the Girls Planet 999,
among these 99 girls,
who will make it to debut?
You must choose which girl's dream
you want to encourage and protect.
Only you can make their dreams come true.
Let the great story of 99 girls begin
right here on Girls Planet 999.
Whose dream will you protect?
So pretty!

I watched a K-Pop performance
and loved how they appealed on the stage.
Hi, I'm Lee Chae Yun with a pretty smile
from K group.
I've acted since 6.
I liked watching what's been filmed
so I kept acting.
Why do you want to be an idol?
I really like dancing.
I'm happy when I dance.
Dancing could be a hobby.
But to make it in a mere hobby,
I'm too good at it!
You're good at it?
Hello!

The Chinese version.
Take the call, pretty sister!
Oh my, so good.
In Japanese.
Hey, I'm Shin-Chan!
Invertebrate girls?
Are you flexible?
This... This is hard to do in one motion.
I got a very flexible waist.
Thanks.
- I got flexible fingers. - Oh, really?
My finger touches here.
Creepy!
So interesting. I'd never seen anyone like that.
Can't wait for the next girls.
Me, neither.
Next is...
Who's next?
'Almost debuted together'?
That's destiny.
I'm curious. I got goosebumps!
Me, too.
Same here! So many bumps!
'Debuted together'?
That's touching.

Unni!
Aren't you Mashiro?
I'm Yeon Gyung!
Oh my...
I've heard your name.
Weren't you at JYP?
Yes, I was.
You were at JYP?
That's why I asked.
I've heard the name.
Me, too. The name May sounds familiar. Yes!
Ah, May!
I didn't think we'd meet here.
So I was so happy.
We were at JYP together.
So we felt like a family.
- It's so amazing. - So amazing.
'Almost debuted together.'
That's sad.
What is this?
You're tearing up...
Sorry.
I came to Korea when I was 15.
A long long time ago.
I'd given up on debut.
So that's why I teared up.
Wow...we worked really hard.
Yet we still have the same dreams...
- Hello! - Hello!
Wow, so tall!
Dancing machine.
They're all good.
I think I'd be in top 3.

That's what I'm best at.
Dance here?

They're good at singing and dancing.
Who is it?
- Hello. - Hello.
Hi, I'm Kim Su Yeon from K group. I'm 19 years old.
Since young
I've learned many artistic things
like dance, sing, rap, guitar, piano
vocal, producing, and composing.
I can do a bit of so many things.
Kim Su Yeon is beautiful.
If she can rap, dance, and sing...
she's the strongest.
Su Yeon!
She is good at dance, sing, and rap.
Shana!
I agree!
Shana is simply an all-rounder.
Shana from J group is so cute and tall.
I didn't feel anything when I saw her.
I didn't think she had what it took to be an all-rounder.
I hear something.
It's your stomach.
I'm hungry.
What do you want to eat now?
Tteokbokki!
Chicken, for me.
Sweet and sour chicken.
That's delicious.
'Girls who loved chicken feet.'
It's me!
Me too!
Chicken feet!
I love chicken feet.
I want chicken feet.
Chicken?
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Spicy chicken feet!
Yes!
Oh, rice ball!
I love it.

I like steamed eggs.
What about pig's feet?

You do? I don't!
(What an acting girl!)
Why not? It's so delicious.
No, it's not.
"I have an album of my own."
I got my album!
I got my graduation album.
- Oh really? - From middle school.
Hi, I'm Xu Zi Yin from C group.
I've released a solo album in China
but I dream to be a K-Pop idol
so I gained courage and came here.
Hello.
I recognized her right away!
- I'm a fan. - Ah, thanks.
I felt like meeting a celebrity.
Wow so pretty.
CLC!
- Is she from CLC? - Yes.
- Right. - She's here.
- CLC...? - She's CLC.
Wow! A celebrity!
Unni!
When she came out,
I was so proud.
So pretty.
I dreamed to be a thanks to SNSD.
Me, too!
- Really? - I'm going to cry.
Right now it°Øs SNSD.
In the future too, SNSD.
Forever, SNSD.
That's Bo Ra!
Bo Ra!
Oh, Cherry Bullet!
- She's a Cherry Bullet? - Cherry Bullet?
Yes, she is.
Ji Won, too.
May as well?
Yes!
Bo Ra...
She looks like Momo.
- What? - She looks like Momo.
They look alike.
She looks like Lisa.
- Who? - She does look alike.
Su Rui Qi.
Lisa?
Arin? She looks like Arin
from OH MY GIRL.
Arin?
She's so pretty.
Doesn't she look like Tzuyu of TWICE?
Yes.
She does look like her!
They're all so pretty.
Their styles are all different by groups.
C group is all tall.
Right, they're all tall and straight
with big eyes and small faces.
They're so beautiful.
J group has more of Japanese sweetness.
Small and precious.
So cute!
K group has personality.
Different styles.
Many of them already feel like idols.
I was so curious.
- About what? - J group and C group are all very pretty.
They're all so pretty.
Look!
Other pretty girls? Again?
I can't wait to see them.
Maybe I should walk out of there now.
What's going on?
I can't wait.
Who is it?
Amazing.
So pretty!
Huh?
- Is that Do Ah? - Kim Do Ah?
Kim Do Ah?
It's Kim Do Ah.
Right, from Produce 48.
So pretty.
She's prettier in real life.
Her face is so small.
- Right. - And she's got long legs.
She's so pretty.
They're all so pretty.
I liked her in Produce 48.
Really?
Kim Do Ah.
I was surprised to see Hsin Wei
glow on the screen.
Chen Hsin Wei was so pretty.
I kept sneaking a look at her.
I couldn't look her straight, so like this.
Chen Hsin Wei must be top 1 in beauty.
Who caught your eyes the most in appearance?
I'm near-sighted.
It's the last.
Who will be the last ones?
Who's the finale?
Who is it?
Oh wow!
- Hello. - Hello.
But it sounds really stable.
No wonder.
They had distinctive aura.
They were so cool.
I'm jealous.
- They look relaxed. - So cool.
- So cool.
As they represent each group,
I wondered how good they'd be.
I was curious about other no. 1's skills.
I felt like we'd be rivals.
Hikaru was so different from
the no. 1 imagery as she looked so cute.
I really wanted to see her performance.
Shen Xiao Ting looked like
she'd be a good dancer.
I could tell her groove even from her walk.
I know how good Da Yeon is.
So I thought she'd be the best among us.
We're all here. Wow, it's so amazing.
I guess something's about to start now.
So nervous.
- My heart is fluttering. - Me, too.
Maybe the door opens and someone comes out?
This is where your great journey begins.
Congratulations to 99 girls
who have arrived at Girls Planet 999.
Here, you'll connect and collaborate
with other girls and begin a journey
together to the global K-Pop girl group.
There are some people to guide you through.
Your role model and mentor,
global K-Pop artist,
K-Pop master...
- No way! - K-Pop master...
Who is it?
Professional vocal and dance master
who will help you with your skills.
K-Pop master, dance and vocal master!
- So excited. - There's one more...
A guide who will connect the girls,
the planet master.
Lastly, the most important beings.
The global K-Pop fans watching the show
from all around the world...
planet guardians.
The guardians!
The guardians?
They will root for you and guard you.
They'll guard us!
Let me introduce Girls Planet 999's guide,
the planet master!
So curious!
I'm so nervous.
Who would it be?
What is this?
I'm so nervous.
Who's that?
Yeo Jin Goo.
Jin Goo oppa.
No way!
The star you came 1,300 years to see...
Gu Chan-seong.
Gu Chan-seong!
Just like how they scream at a girl group in the army...
I love you!
I got goosebumps!
A celebrity!
- Here he comes! - Really?
Oh my gosh!
Is he a doll? Why doesn't he move?
He moved!
So handsome!
It's Yeo Jin Goo! I can't believe it!
Jin Goo oppa.
Actually, he's the same age as me.
He's ugly.
He's an ugly guy.
- An ugly guy? - Yes.
A handsome guy.
Oh, I meant handsome!
You said he was ugly.
I'm so sorry.
I might get killed.
Please don't use that.
No, he's handsome...
He is a handsome guy.
I'm sorry.
Welcome, 99 girls.
I'm Yeo Jin Goo, Girls Planet 999's guide and the planet master.
Good to see you.
His voice is... so nice.
As I'm facing you here,
I'm more nervous than I thought I would be.
I'm standing here because I thought
I could empathize with you
and support you genuinely.
So don't be shy to approach me...
Of course not!
And treat me as if I'm your family
or your friend. Will you?
We will!
Through different kinds of missions,
the global K-Pop girl group will be born.
Until then, your survival and elimination
will be decided by global fan voting.
It sounded really grand-scale.
The word 'Global'.
I'm happy to be seen by global fans.
Will the global fans like me?
How many of you will debut through this?
Is it nine girls? Ten? Eleven?
The number of girls who will make it to
the global K-Pop group is...
P1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...
Oh, planet!
It's 9!
9 seats...
I have to be within rank 9.
I thought it would be at least 12.
It was fewer than I thought.
In every mission, the top 9 global picks
will become planet TOP9 that symbolizes
debut group, and can sit in those chairs.
That is so cruel.
So high.
Could I sit there?
You could!
At least one of them, for at least once.
I want to sit there, but it feels far.
I'll do whatever it takes to be there.
I hope I could be in one of them at last.
Let me introduce who will guide you through Girls Planet 999 with me.
The symbol of your dream, your role model.
I give you the K-Pop masters.
K-Pop master!
Who is it? Oh my god!
K-Pop master Tiffany Young and Sunmi.
I've also been through many auditions,
sympathy and comfort...
I want to give the girls
everything that I can provide with.
Like a sister!
But a very strict one
if they're not doing well.
I want to be a mentor who can influence them in a good way.
I'm the K-Pop master of Girls Planet 999, Tiffany Young.
Pleasure to meet you.
I'm K-Pop master Sunmi.
Good to see you! Hello!
Hi!
She just said hello!
I'm about to cry.
They're so beautiful.
- Hello! - Hello!
Nice to meet you.
Oh my god...
I want to sit in the front, too.
I want to see them closer.
Now I'll introduce the teachers who will help you improve your skills
They're professionals from each area.
Let's bring them in.
Now I'll introduce the dance masters.
I'm looking forward to this a lot.
And because my expectations are high,
I have very high standards.
I'll do everything I have to do to improve your skills.
I was so scared.
Honestly, I was a bit scared.
I think they'll be hard on us.
I can already myself crying in the future.
Sitting here are the groups of three
each consisting of K, C, J girls
who speak different languages.
The group of three is called 'cell',
the smallest unit of Girls Planet 999.
Cell?
Like in biology?
3 girls who are bound as a cell
will survive together or be eliminated
together by the vote of planet guardians.
- For real? - I knew Mnet would do this.
Does that mean if one of us fails,
all of us will be eliminated?
I'm screwed.
If it's me alone, it would be up to me.
It's no good even if I do well by myself.
But you have a choice...
to maintain the current cell
or to form a new cell.
Would it be better to form a new cell
or to maintain the current one?
I think our cell is good as it is.
Since we have Yu Jin,
we don't have to worry about the vote.
We'll move on to Planet Demo Stage now.
Demo Stage?
The units consisting of members from each K, C, J groups will perform.
Watching their performance, you can decide
whether to keep the cell as it is or to form a new one with others.
After all the performances,
The TOP9 picked by masters will be given
a chance to pick new cellmates first.
I'm scared that the ones picked as TOP9
might choose members among themselves.
I have to be in the TOP9
so I can make the changes to the cell.
K-Pop master!
What's the most important quality when choosing a cellmate?
Of course it's skills!
But other than dancing and singing,
it's also important
to be able to immerse and express yourself.
You have to prove yourself to survive.
I want to find out what your charms are.
Every person has unique aura,
so I want to see
what you all have inside.
Let the Planet Demo Stage begin!
I have to perform really well so that they can choose me.
I'm so nervous...
I might have a nervous breakdown.
I have to do really well.
I'm worried I'm gonna make a mistake.
It's a competiton!
So pretty!
You just aced the whole performance.
I got goosebumps while watching.
The girls are given personal ranks
according to the signal song test.
In your name tag,
your K, C, J rank from 1 to 33
is hidden!
Your rank will all be revealed
before each unit's performance.
Before each unit's performance.
- Oh, my god! - Oh, no.
So cruel.
The rank from 1 to 33 could be useful
when choosing new cellmates.
- That's very mean. - What if you're rank is low?
So much pressure. That's right.
Now, please reveal the group
and the rank of the first unit.
Let's go!
I'm excited
So it begins.
I'm so excited. The first performance.
It must be nerve-wrecking.
There's rank 1.
We'll see the rank 1 perform first?
Rank 1 and 33 are in the same group.
From rank 1 to 33! Unbelievable.
In one group?
- What a coincidence! - All in one group.
A unit from C group.
To the stage, please.
They must be so nervous.
So pretty.
They all look gorgeous.
She's so pretty.
They're the pretty ones in our group.
So pretty!
They're so pretty.
They're all so pretty.
- Yes. - They really are.
They're so pretty.
I mean, look at their appearances!
They're all so tall and pretty.
They just made me go wow.
They're all taller than me.
Please introduce yourselves.
Watch out for your heart! Bang!
We're the best visual killers!
Hello.
I'm sweet visual, I mean killer,
dance position Shen Xiao Ting.
So pretty! So tall.
I'm the goofy and lively youngster killer, Chen Hsin Wei.
The youngster!
Her face is so small.
I'm the chic killer,
rap position Xu Ruo Wei.
Hi, I'm the feminine killer,
vocal position Huang Xing Qiao.
Thank you.
So pretty~
They look glamorous.
The four of you in the first unit,
please reveal the individual rank.
They find out each other's rank, too
My gosh.
Shen Xiao Ting
is ranked no.1.
Rank 1!
Both rank 1 and 33 are in the same group.
Rank 33 would feel pressured.
Goodness.
Rank 33...
So cute.
Shen Xiao Ting, you are ranked as no.1
of the C group in signal song test.
Wow.
So cool.
Do you know why you ranked no.1?
My goal was to do the best I could
rather than thinking about
winning the first place.
So cool.
It says you won the gold prize with dance.
In a competition in Shanghai,
I ranked no.1 in modern dance sports.
Also, in a British competition, I ranked no.6 globally
in an international ballroom dance.
We have to see her dance.
Her skills are rock solid.
No wonder she ranked no.1.
So cute!
Her gaze has changed totally.
So good.
Great job. So amazing.
You deserve to be ranked as no.1.
I know, right?
Let the first performance begin.
Go for it! So nervous.
So thrilled.
Hope their skills are good, too.
- Ready? - Yes.
I have to stand that far?
You shouldn't go over that line.
That orange line? Yes!
Get ready.
Who led the unit?
I did.
It's okay.
I became a leader without even knowing and now I'm leading everyone.
In here, you have to step backward.
In that part.
Watch out for your shoes, they can be slippery on stage.
Check your mic.
- So nice. - I think of her as my mom.
I think so.
I'm really depending on her.
She helps me be at peace.
I can do it.
She helps me with details while practicing.
Just like mom, Shen Xiao Ting helps us and leads us to move forward.
I hope we can all perform well
without making mistakes.
Could've done better.
The singing...
The improvs.
Huang Xing Qiao, you were the main vocal.
You made a mistake at the climax.
That was not good.
And Shen Xiao Ting...
I'm speechless.
You just aced the whole performance.
I don't have anything else to say.
Thank you.
She did really well.
No wonder she's rank 1.
So cool.
Amazing.
I couldn't take my eyes off her
as if she was even controlling her hair.
That was so beautiful.
Chen Hsin Wei, your pitch was...
very unstable.
You have to work on that.
If I remember correctly,
you didn't memorize the signal song.
I was really disappointed then.
Poor girl...
But now I'm surprised.
You had such nice gaze. You looked so confident at the beginning.
Totally different from the signal song, well done.
She recognized my effort.
I practiced really hard so that
I can debut as a girl group in Korea.
TOP9 candidate from this group is...
Shen Xiao Ting.
Thank you.
She did really well.
No wonder!
Thank you.
They're so pretty. They already look like a group.
They look good together.
If only they practice a little more.
I'm so touched.
I have to practice harder.
Go for it!
I remember of the trainee days.
I've never auditioned in front of so many people.
It's not only us who are watching
but also the participants.
It's a very exhausting position.
I'll overcome it.
I'm nervous, Ye Seo.
Let's go for it!
So nervous.
The next unit's group and rank
are revealed now!
It's J!
J group.
It's J.
I feel like J group
is all cute.
J group is so cute.
In my opinion, J group is absolutely adorable.
5 from J group! Come up to the stage.
So cute.
So pretty.
Pretty!
They're so pretty..
Kawaguchi Yurina?
I was looking forward to her performance.
Reveal your rank!
Mid rank!
Hello.
We're..
glowing Crystal Girls
that appeared out of nowhere.
Oh gosh, so cute!
So cute.
They're like magic girls.
Kishida Ririka was in
a Japanese girl group survival program.
I'd like to know why you decided to try out another survival program.
I couldn't give up on my dream to become an idol.
That's why I'm here.
Kawaguchi Yurina.
You're an actress in Japan...
Hello, I'm Kawaguchi Yurina.
When I was in 9th grade, I won an acting award in beauty contest.
Ever since then, I've been acting.
I liked BoA when I was in kindergarten
then KARA and SNSD in elementary school so I joined their fan clubs.
K-Pop artists have always been near me.
And I wanted to be one of them.
This attempt is like a miracle.
I'll do my best thinking that
this will be my first and last opportunity
to chase my dream.
So good.
So pretty!
So bright!
So hard...
Kishida Ririka.
When you dance,
you don't use your lower body right.
I'd be great if you could fix it.
As I was only focused on the singing,
I found many parts I wish were different.
Kawaguchi Yurina. Yes!
Your breathing was very stable
as well as your tone.
That was the most stable live.
Thank you.
You were very stable as a member
so I want to compliment you.
Kawaguchi Yurina!
She'd make Top9 candidate, huh?
Yes, she's so pretty.
The TOP9 candidate from this unit is...
Kawaguchi Yurina.
Thank you.
You did a good job.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
Good job.
Thank you.
Great job.
As a Planet TOP9 candidate,
I'll work harder.
Seven?
K Group!
- K Group! - K Group?
Finally, the first K Group is going up.
Who could it be? Please come up on stage.
- Hello. - Hello.
A K Group would do well, right?
Since they're from where K-Pop originated,
there must be really talented trainees.
I think they'll already be perfect.
They'll definitely be outstanding,
so I'm nervous.
I think they'll be good dancers.
Please reveal your rankings first.
What? Chae Hyun?
Is Joung Min 30th?
Please introduce yourselves.
Two, three!
Hello. We're normally
cute,
but full of
charisma on the stage.
We're Soft Bean Rice Cake.
Soft!
- Soft! - Soft Bean Rice Cake?
I'm already overwhelmed.
Kim Chae Hyun.
- I noticed you trained for a long time. - Yes.
Did any of your fellow trainees debut?
Yes.
How do you feel when you see
your friends who debuted already?
It makes me boil up.
Boil up?
I'm glad.
It makes me want to debut too.
I started in my 2nd year of middle school.
I was attending a school in Busan
when I dropped out and moved to Seoul.
So...
So you sacrificed your teenage years for this dream.
Why do you want to become an idol so badly?
I don't think I'd excel or enjoy a different line of work.
I trained for six years.
I want to prove the years weren't wasted.
She trained for a really long time. I know.
She really did.
We had to clock in at 10:00 a.m.
I trained until 11:00 p.m. or 12:00 a.m.
The training period is long,
and there's no guarantee we'll debut.
I was in the debut team,
but our agency struggled due to COVID-19.
I feel like I'm running in circles.
So I feel futile at times.
Although I've trained for a long time,
I tell myself I can still keep going.
I never considered another occupation.
Even if it takes a while,
I don't mind as long as I can debut.
I just want to return the favor
to those who gave me their trust.
I can feel their charisma.
Hey!
I got goosebumps.
- What's this? - What's with them?
They're so good.
They're so cool!
Their gazes are...
They're really good.
Of course. We're all good.
Black Mamba. I was so surprised
because they sang well.
They're talented.
Their high notes were stable.
All three of them did well.
K Group is awesome.
I...
I got goosebumps while watching.
It's true being talented counts
when singing and dancing,
but it's hard to find someone charming.
But you have a strong aura.
You did very well. I enjoyed it.
I really liked An Jeong Min's voice.
I love the vibrato when you sing your final notes.
I thought it would be great to see
your different vocal abilities.
Next, Kim Chae Hyun.
The beginning was excellent, and your voice is charming.
But!
When you made a tiny mistake...
You suddenly lost your concentration.
That is what I regret.
But she did really well.
Please announce the TOP9 candidate.
The TOP9 candidate from this unit...
I think they'll all become candidates.
It's An Jeong Min. Congratulations.
And...
I vote for just this person.
Really? Shouldn't she go up too?
What do we do?
She lacked concentration.
She had a good energy when she spoke,
but I couldn't see it in her performance.
And...
That's it.
Despite doing so well, I was surprised
to see they didn't become candidates.
We enjoyed the performance.
Thank you.
I expected them to be good,
but they did even better than I expected.
This is crazy.
I wonder how well K Group's top ranks
will do when the low ranks are this good.
I feel bad.
I feel bad too.
They were good.
The evaluation standard is really high.
They all trained for a long time,
so they're generally really good.
Let's see the rankings of the next unit.
C Group?
It's K.
K Group is going first.
It's K Group.
K? Is it K Group again?
Their rankings are far apart.
The top 10 and 22.
Here we go.
How cool.
They're cute.
We'll check your rankings first.
Top 22.
Two, three!
Hello,
we're delicious dancers.
Gosh, that's spicy.
It's so hot. We're Hot Sauce.
Hot Sauce? That's cute.
Hello, I'm your energizer.
I'm 18-year-old Seo Young Eun.
Young Eun, your hair got caught on the microphone.
Just a little bit more.
- Is it gone? - Yes, that's great.
She's truly an 18-year-old.
I love it!
(Yoon Ji A will introduce herself next)
I bet you're feeling pressured.
- She can't go after that. - She's cute.
She's cute.
I'll try.
Do I look chic?
Once you get to know me, I'm really cute.
I'm Yoon Ji A, an all-rounder.
Two, three.
Thank you.
They must've practiced their introduction.
So cute.
They have youthful energy.
The mismatching kind of works well.
Please start your performance.
- Yes. - Okay.
- I hope you enjoy it. - Go for it.
They're very energetic.
All K Group members are cheerful.
'Kick It' is a really difficult song.
It's a boy group's song.
They need to be powerful.
This song is really hard.
How will these cute girls perform it?
Let's do this!
I'm nervous for them. Please do well.
I can't wait to see them.
Look at those eyes.
They're so cool!
They're crazy.
You're so cool.
No way.
I was so surprised.
I'm getting chills.
That was so cool.
I got goosebumps.
I'm getting chills all over my body.
That was amazing.
I was moved even after they were done.
It was so good I wanted to watch again.
'New thangs'
Their dance left a strong impression.
They're really amazing.
A girl in my cell is someone amazing.
I'm so honored.
Young Eun is glaring at everyone.
She's really something. My goodness.
I'm scared.
Did Young Eun pierce you with her gaze?
Yes, I did.
She glared at me at the end.
- They're really good. - They have good energy.
Maybe they'll both get picked.
That's possible.
Maybe they'll both go up.
- They were overwhelmingly good. - Yes. So good.
TOP9 candidate from this unit...
Both of them.
They're both qualified to go up.
is Seo Young Eun.
I told you you'd make it.
And Yoon Ji A.
She's crying.
I think I might cry too.
Both of you did very well.
We enjoyed it.
You did well. You did really well.
It's what everyone agreed on.
It was unanimous.
Here?
Like this.
Look.
I'm so happy.
Thank you so much, masters.
Thank you.
How can this happen?
I don't want to perform anymore.
They're young and energetic.
And they're really cool too.
They're so good. K Group did so well.
- What am I going to do? - They were amazing.
Everyone in K Group is good.
I was surprised since such young girls
did so well.
I didn't think they'd be this good.
I think they're much better than me.
Hey, you.
You're insane.
Hello.
How cute.
They're very girlish.
They came holding hands.
- So cute. - They're adorable.
They're cute.
Wow, so cute.
They're really pretty.
Please reveal your group rankings.
Wasn't she a JYP trainee?
You're right.
Sakamoto Mashiro,
you were with JYP.
- How did you rank during the audition? - I was in second place.
Impressive.
That's amazing.
Mashiro is so cool.
I trained from 2016 to 2018 for two years.
In 1, 2, 3.
Let's go.
I wondered if that was it for me.
I was thinking of giving up.
I was exhausted.
I took up part-time jobs in Japan
and searched for other occupations.
But whenever I saw my friends on stage,
I couldn't stop thinking about performing.
I was very envious.
I left for Japan saying I'm giving up,
but my heart didn't agree.
This is my last chance to try.
Please start your performance.
'DUMDi DUMDi'?
This song's choreography is hard.
Is it?
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Wow!
They're good.
Their vocals are so stable.
Good job!
So pretty!
So cute!
They're really good.
How are they so good?
I think all the masters were surprised.
They were good from the beginning.
Yes.
Their hand movements were powerful.
I think they practiced a lot.
I was surprised by how well they sang
while dancing so powerfully.
Thank you.
They're talented and beautiful.
Their vocals are so stable.
What do we do?
They're so good.
J Group.
Wow, great power.
She's good.
You performed professionally.
It felt like I was watching a performance at a concert, not an audition.
They're better than I expected.
Is it because I didn't expect much?
Why is she so good?
You sang stably and danced gracefully.
She's good.
I love their energy.
I can't stop smiling.
You're so pretty, cool, and sexy.
Thank you.
They have good energy.
They're so good.
Everyone is so good.
J Group is also really good.
I think I had a stereotype.
I was really surprised.
I'll reveal the next unit and rankings.
Ta-da!
I'm looking forward to it.
Finally.
J Group's number one.
Number one.
Yes!
Number one?
Hikaru.
Ezaki Hikaru.
The pride of J Group!
What? I think she'll be good.
Look at those eyes.
She was charismatic when she walked in.
'I'm amazing' was written on her face.
Hearts for our planet guardians.
Burn Crush!
Hello, we're Burn Crush.
They're all ranked high.
J Group's 1st and 6th places are here.
They're all high ranks.
They're all ranked high.
They're all ranked high!
Ezaki Hikaru, you were ranked first
I felt this when I saw your audition tape,
and you have quite a talent.
Were you born with it?
No.
Thank you.
Her gaze was different.
Exactly.
Did hard work make you talented?
I wasn't good at singing or dancing,
but I worked really hard for my dream.
I think I've finally discovered myself.
Let's go again.
Okay.
K-Pop has a perfect image.
Whether it's rap, singing, or dancing,
I want to do well in all of them.
I practiced without compromising
to get a grasp of what I'm unskilled at.
I practiced facial expressions the most,
so I hope many people will notice it.
Where...
Is this it?
I feel like hard work paid off.
I was full of happiness.
I was happy to get recognized.
Thank you.
You worked to get talented. I'm excited.
I'll look forward to your performance.
- Good luck! - Good luck!
You can really look forward to this.
They're really amazing.
They are?
They're really good.
Will they do well?
How good will they be?
How amazing will their performance be?
I think it's easy to have a stereotype
of J Group's skill level.
I don't think we're inferior to anyone,
so I wanted to break that stereotype.
'BOOMBAYAH'.
'BOOMBAYAH'?
What? They're going to sing this?
What?
It left a strong impression on me.
'HELLBAYAH'.
Let's go.
If they don't do really well,
they'll become a subject of comparison and end up like them.
How will the Girls Planet 999 version be?
I'm so curious.
They're good.
They're so talented.
She's crazy good!
What are we going to do with them?
Good job.
They're so cool!
I want to buy a ticket to their concert.
No wonder she's in 1st place.
The 1st place is really good.
She's so good.
I'm her fan.
I'm the 1st place's fan.
They did so well.
Wow. They were so good.
'KINGBAYAH'.
The pride of J Group.
Her eyes change when she performs.
In my eyes, they looked like they were already enjoying performing.
Right.
It was really cool.
Thank you.
They're so cool.
Out of all the performances so far,
I'd say your dancing was...
You did so well!
You have great energy too.
The details were great too.
Ezaki Hikaru.
Yes?
Thank you.
- Hikaru is really good - She's so cool.
at using all the beats.
Yes, her dancing is...
She's like...
In terms of your dance, bravo.
Thank you so much.
I didn't produce them, but I feel proud.
That was so great.
Ezaki Hikaru memorized
the entire Korean rap lyrics
for the third audition.
She killed it.
She's such a hard worker.
She memorized the whole thing?
Whoa, check out her eyes!
She's great!
What's going on?
She has so much potential.
She seems very talented.
She'd do great wherever she goes.
She's so good.
And Shana sang beautifully.
Nicely done.
Thank you.
Such a pretty voice.
Thank you.
How does she sing a Korean ballad so well?
She had such emotion in it.
Younha's 'Waiting' is that song
that all K-Pop trainees practice.
- Because they must all 'wait' to debut. - That's right.
As for me, and I'm not kidding.
I really liked them.
- She's already a star. - She stands out.
I agree.
That was such a hit for me.
We need this one. Her voice is...
- Right. - We need her voice.
- They all did so well. - I know.
They're all so good.
The Planet TOP9 candidate
from this unit is... Nonaka Shana.
Thank you.
And...
Ezaki Hikaru.
Thank you.
Nicely done.
I felt so proud.
I felt proud as a part of J Group.
Yeah, J Group!
It nice to see that J Group
can also give performances
that are just as good.
But K-Pop belongs to us, K Group.
So wouldn't K Group be the best?
K Group gives the best performances.
It's a sort of a pride, I guess.
Our group will not go down.
I think the standards could be
different for the K and J Groups.
I think if Hikaru was in K Group,
her ranking could be lower.
Maybe the 5th place?
Wow, 1st in K Group.
Wow, 1st an 2nd.
1st and 2nd! Whoa.
I can't wait.
Wow, the face of K Group.
I was waiting for K Group.
We can finally show them.
They looked so confident.
I think they'll be talented and perfect.
They have 1st and 2nd rankers.
So I was very intrigued.
Please reveal your rankings.
She's 1st.
So cool.
2nd in rank?
2nd?
Who?
Hello! Our charms sparkle and pop!
We're Shooting Star!
So cute.
Kim Da Yeon.
1st in K Group from the signal song round.
K Group's Kim Da Yeon will start.
She's a good singer.
She's very stable.
It's me.
She's ready to be a K-Pop idol.
Highest marks.
- Me too. - Yes, I agree.
Awesome Da Yeon.
I'm so excited.
She's amazing.
Please start your performance.
- Okay. - Let's go!
She just pumped herself.
I can't wait.
They're my favorite.
- They're amazing. - They're the best.
Oh, they picked a hard one.
This one's a challenge.
Wow. Look how fierce!
I'm so excited.
Look at those eyes!
Wow, look at them!
Wow, what was that?
Great voice!
Awesome!
Did you see her expression?
I got the chills.
How are they so good?
It was so mesmerizing.
For sure.
K-Pop group indeed.
It was like saying, we're this good.
Setting a new standard. They did great.
We're great!
I agree.
The choreography's tough,
but they sang so well.
It felt like a live show.
Their presence was good too.
They can really draw in the audience.
- They're great. - They're good.
You sang K/DA's 'POP/STARS',
and to me, you were those stars.
Thank you.
That's amazing.
Amazing.
I know this dance is really tough.
I was really worried.
I wondered if you could sing it live.
This is tough.
But that was unexpected.
That was even better. 1st and 2nd rankers from signal song.
And our all-rounder member.
And I could see how you made it to this round.
Great work.
Thank you.
That was amazing.
They're really cool.
I've mentioned energy.
It's about how you make us focus.
In that respect, Su Yeon was...
Look at those eyes!
Whoa! Look at those eyes.
She's good.
Thank you.
Good work.
I completely agree.
The 19th ranker as well.
She did so well.
The girl in the yellow pants is great.
She dances and sings well.
How are they all so good?
This is insane.
I can see why this gets harder.
This was so hard.
It really is.
Please announce the Top9 candidate.
I think they'll all get it.
The one moving up from here...
Congratulations, Su Yeon.
What?
Thank you.
She's got so much to offer.
She really is charming.
- She really exceeded expectations. - Right.
Their rankings are so apart, but she's so much better.
Right.
Good job.
And!
And?
Top rankers from other groups made it.
I want to be in, too. No matter what.
Hello.
Oh, my. Thank you.
- What is this? - This is amazing!
This doesn't feel right...
Why not? It's because you did well.
We'll move up next time. Don't worry.
Okay.
And!
No one else.
What was that?
I didn't think this could happen.
How could this be? Everyone did well.
I don't get it.
They were the top 2 in the videos too.
The same as they are now.
She's got talent but no presence.
K Group's 1st was the only one out.
So I felt bad for my group.
I feel like we need to step it up.
Well, honestly, the others were good too.
The aura is just so important.
I'm going to look for the energy
that the 99 girls here have.
Xia Yan has an aura about her.
Her energy is no joke!
The energy that Master Sunmi
talked about really exists.
The way Sunmi sees them
is like she's a shaman fortune-teller.
A bit.
Everyone has their own aura.
For some, it shows without doing anything.
There is something.
Just like Sunmi told us after,
I want to learn how to express
that aura and charm on stage.
The energy. Or the aura.
It was all really great, but...
I think K-Pop is globally loved
because of the talent and detail.
And I think on Girls Planet 999,
you need to survive by proving yourself.
Master Tiffany is always smiling.
Please start your performance.
I feel like she'd be a strict evaluator.
You were most off-beat, actually.
You need to have more flexible vocals.
There were 8 beats in total.
You gave up on the last few beats.
Stride has much to do with vocal delivery.
If the center of weight shifts, your live performance will change.
It was like she really mastered K-Pop.
She conquered everything
and came to guide us.
I could tell that both Master Tiffany
and Master Sunmi really wanted
to guide us in the right direction.
They felt so reliable.
Ti-Mi.
Tiffa-Mi.
Sun-Ti!
Oh my goodness...
How are they so tall?
They look like unnis.
How are you so tall with such short heels?
You're so cute!
We're so tiny.
Thank you?
Thank you.
We're too small.
Choo-choo puff-puff ding!
So cute!
They're the youngest of K Group.
They seem popular among the girls.
So cute!
So pretty!
So cute!
So nervous.
They're so different from the other units.
Please reveal your rankings.
Okay.
Can you take this off?
I can't even get mine off...
She asked for help.
She couldn't take it off. So cute.
She asked for help.
Come here.
I'll help you.
It's chaotic down there.
They're the middle rankers.
The middle and the lower.
Hello, we're cute and chic.
We're Monster Babies!
Hello.
My teeth are still growing in.
I'm the real baby, Guinn Myah.
- Thank you. - Really?
Hello. I'm smiling baby, Lee Chae Yun.
Hello. I'm the smallest baby, Kim Se In.
Oh my gosh!
Hello. I'm the baby of the babies.
Boss baby, Kang Ye Seo.
Thank you.
All right.
Gwon...
Guinn!
My English name is Guinn Myah.
You said your teeth are still growing in.
Is it true?
They're growing in right now.
And Kang Ye Seo...
You debuted in 2010
and you've been active for 11 years.
And you're 17?
Yes, including acting...
I started acting when I was 5.
I was in a kid group, CutieL.
Then I joined the idol group, Busters.
It's been about 12 years since my debut.
She's done a lot.
You seem very determined and I can't wait.
Thank you.
Please start your performance.
Okay.
Thank you.
They're doing 4minute's 'Crazy.'
Isn't 'Crazy' really powerful?
It is very powerful.
I was thinking they're too cute for this.
Find your spot.
Should we move a bit?
I was pretty concerned.
I wasn't confident with the type of music.
And we couldn't practice a lot
because the girls were in pain.
My shoulder hurts...
Myah sprained her shoulder.
Chae Yun hurt her back, so she sang.
I was a bit sick as well.
So Ye Seo really had to pull her weight.
I knew that the girls were in pain,
so I thought I should really help them.
I think we just need to decide our parts.
Let's try that again.
The rest of us didn't have any experience.
We didn't know how to put in our in-ears.
This is my first in-ear experience.
If they're uncomfortable, take them out.
Have them tape the mic to your cheek.
Oh, tape it? Yes, you have to.
Ye Seo really played a vital role.
- Is that the center stage mark? - Yes.
The neon is the same as the white one.
4minute?
This?
But they look like babies!
They'd be too cute.
They shouldn't be.
What?
Oh my goodness.
They're so good!
I'm getting goosebumps!
Her mic fell off!
Oh, no! Grab it!
Her mic fell off!
Still killing it, though.
Crazy!
That was insane!
- That was crazy! - Thank you.
Ye Seo's mic fell off in the middle of it,
so we were nervous as well.
But she didn't waver at all.
She came out strong.
And when her part ended, she turned
and slipped it in her pocket. Such a pro.
Thank you.
That totally exceeded my expectations.
That was really amazing.
Can I ask what you've been crazy about?
What you've been crazy about that you were able to pull this vibe?
We practiced like crazy.
Good answer.
We'll start our discussion now.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I think they'll all get it.
Everyone.
They were all so good.
Do all of them get it? What do we do?
I can't choose. I'm sorry.
I can't choose, either.
I pick these two.
I think this one is the best.
I want to be a candidate.
Oh. This was a very hard decision.
The TOP9 candidates from this unit are...
Kang Ye Seo.
Kim Se In.
Guinn Myah.
And...
All four of us made it.
- I feel good now. - I know right?
And...
Lee Chae Yun.
They're babies.
Good job!
Thank you!
You have to work hard!
Thank you.
So cute!
This is just the beginning.
You know that, right? Your performance was so great today.
So we'll expect more from you.
Thank you!
Goodbye.
Hello!
- What is this? - Can't believe this!
They told us that all four us did well.
He called us but didn't mention Chae Yun,
so I was really anxious.
We'll do our best!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Bye!
Next up is a C Group unit.
Oh my gosh, they're so cute!
They're the daughters of C Group.
They look like 10 years old.
So cute!
Hello!
You're twins?
- Yes. - Yes.
Please reveal your rankings.
Oh my.
She covered the 3 and just showed 1.
In 1, 2, 3...
How cute!
Oh my gosh, they're so cute!
Unni, unni!
Which one of us is older?
Hello, we're twins who are so different!
we're twins who are so different!
I'm the cool younger one, Liang Qiao.
I'm the cute older one, Liang Jiao.
Thank you.
Please give us lots of love.
Girls, you're adorable!
They're like dolls. I know.
I want to take them home.
I can't tell which one is which, actually.
The older one has a rounder face.
The younger one has a slimmer face.
Oh, I see!
And I have a beauty mark.
A beauty mark.
I see, you do.
You're twins.
Have you ever been apart?
Yes.
When we were in quarantine.
When they were in quarantine.
And you've never been apart
before that?
- No. - No.
We've always been together
since birth.
I think we both get lonely a lot.
We feel an emptiness when we're apart.
We arrived at the self-quarantine place.
We'll see each other in 14 days.
She just cried because she'll miss me.
Bye.
Oh my gosh. Unni...
We've never been apart for so long.
Qiao,
you cried when you were practicing?
When we practiced our dance,
I cried because she couldn't stay on beat.
Jiao was really worried about the beat.
She was always a beat ahead of me.
We couldn't turn our heads in sync.
Hmph!
Don't! I'll do it myself.
She kept getting it wrong,
so I cried.
They're cute.
I won't be ahead this time.
Don't be ahead of me.
Let's go!
- Good luck. - You can do it.
I really hope they do well.
She turns her head faster.
- Such great acting. - She's cross.
Oh my goodness!
Jiao definitely turned her head faster.
Really?
For real?
She turned her head faster?
Don't fight!
Seriously...
Personally, I really want to use 'Hmph'
as my IM alarm sound.
It was so adorable.
So cute.
Could you try again to get that right?
Okay.
Hmph!
Okay.
Let's count for them.
In 5, 6, 7, 8.
I really hope they get it.
In 5, 6, 7, 8.
Hmph!
Hm? Qiao is faster now.
Really? I'm sorry.
We're even now!
There won't be a candidate from this unit.
Thank you.
Bye.
You can't help but wave with them.
They're so adorable.
You have a 15-minute break.
I'm tired.
My butt hurts.
How are you two?
Are you okay?
Sure.
I saw her crack her neck.
Let's do some stretching.
I need to stretch too.
Wow...
I'm so oily.
Let's continue.
We're going to continue the show. Please take your seat.
I'm so tired.
She's in a deep sleep.
They look so tired.
Let's stay strong and do this!
We're nearly there! Stay strong, girls!
You can do it!
You can do it, girls!
You can do it.
He turned around and encouraged us.
He must have lots to do but cheered us on.
Good luck.
Aww, Jin Goo!
He's really nice and smiled when we filmed.
We got energy from seeing his smile.
Up next is the next unison...
Sorry.
You got this!
Jin Goo, you got this!
Next unit, come on out!
Will you tell us your rankings?
They have 3rd and 4th together?
Hi!
We're a myriad of shades!
Palette Girls!
So cute.
Palette Girls.
You may begin your performance!
I didn't feel the energy of
the five of you as a whole.
It was just enough to show you practiced.
The singing was really off.
I can tell what you'll perform by your attire.
I'll be looking forward to it.
Please start your performance.
Oh, my.
What a shame.
I feel awake now that I'm angry.
You looked like kids goofing off.
They weren't prepared at all.
They can't sing at all.
- I can't even pick. - Why are they all so insecure?
They lacked confidence.
It was too much.
They were way off key.
You're right.
I didn't want to pick anyone,
because we don't feel anything from them.
I didn't feel anything.
The candidate from this unit is...
No one.
But I want to praise you guys for
working so hard and learning
the lyrics in Korean.
I hope to see you become better.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I have to be honest and say no.
True! We need to stay firm.
Most of them never learned K-Pop.
It's touching to see how they want to be idols.
I'm sorry.
- Goodbye. - Good job, guys.
Goodbye.
No, stop.
I'm so sorry.
You don't need to be sorry.
You did great.
I'm sorry.
I've been learning Korean for 2 years now.
I really liked the Korean culture.
I started to learn Korean because I loved K-pop.
When I was 17,
it was the first time I heard K-pop.
I've wanted to become a K-pop star since then.
I was busy at my desk job during the day
and busy as a trainee by night.
You quit your job for this?
- Yes! - My gosh, really?
I quit my job.
Because of K-pop,
I started to like dancing and singing.
Ever since I was little, I wanted to be a K-Pop idol.
I wanted to debut in Korea.
That's why Girls Planet 999...
It's so precious to me.
A way to make dreams come true...
It's a new opportunity.
It's my last chance.
I know it's a hard path to take,
I'm going to give it my all.
We got this!
We can do it!
Let's do this, girls!
What?
Let's do it well.
Awesome!
Look at their charisma.
Look at their expressions!
So fierce...
Amazing.
Wow! Awesome!
Great performance.
- They're so good. - They're so cool.
I saw them often during practice.
They're all so fierce.
I can't wait to see how well they do.
They don't look nervous at all. All of them are great.
They'll do fine based on skills.
They're totally...
Different from other units so far.
They don't even smile.
Did you promise not to smile on stage?
We... Didn't...
They probably did.
Don't smile.
Keep a straight face.
Swag.
We promised not
to smile when we're on stage.
We want to scare everyone with fierceness.
Hello!
We're...
The Real Fierce Sisters!
Wow!
Awesome.
So fierce.
- Fu Ya Ning. - Yes?
What are you singing today?
'Helicopter.'
That's CLC's song, isn't it?
Did you know someone
from CLC would be here?
We knew.
The original singer's here.
Think you got this?
We got this.
She oringally sings this but we can show
a side only we can.
Plus, we can do better than the original.
Okay. CLC's Yu Jin's here.
What do you want to say to her?
This is so...
Oh no. Oh man...
I'm scared.
Fierce.
I was so in shock I was at a loss for words.
I was scared of Yu Jin.
I was scared.
I was like whoa!
How dare she say that to Yu Jin?
I was in such shock.
I thought she'd be upset by that.
It feels like Show Me the Money.
Me too.
Fu Ya Ning is fierce. Scary.
You can't let them beat you.
Got anything to say?
I'll just dance in reply.
Really?
Oh, my.
Why...
A gesture to show that they're watching.
Wow.
I'm scared.
So fierce.
Scary.
It was tense.
I was too scared to look her way.
I was just glancing.
Like that.
I'm looking forward to this performance.
Me too.
They were getting so nervous
as they put on their mics.
So nervous.
I'm the unit leader
so I felt a lot of pressure.
Don't be nervous.
We're the fiercest here.
I felt we needed to show how fierce we are.
I did it to give members some confidence.
And tell them we are amazing too.
Please begin.
We got this.
I can't wait.
You can do this.
- Go for it. - Good luck.
Wen Zhe!
They're getting so much support.
They must've gotten everyone's respect.
Standby.
I really looked foward to it.
The original singer is sitting right here.
So I wondered if they would do well.
I could tell they have skills.
I wanted to show them
we were the best.
Wow.
Wow, they're like pros.
Awesome!
The ending pose!
That was fierce!
I got chills.
Ya Ning was amazing.
She's so cool.
Ya Ning's awesome.
I was in shock.
For confidence,
Ya Ning's no. 1.
They were amazing.
I was really feeling the pressure.
They were so fierce.
I loved their energy.
Your presence and energy was no joke.
But!
But you're a unit and this is teamwork.
Fu Ya Ning is amazing.
But.
You should match your energy with the rest.
I...
Well...
I'm scared of you.
She's scared?
I disagree.
Fu Ya Ning really kept
the energy level high so it helped lead
the other members to maintain
the song's mood.
We're all entitled to our own opinions.
Why would you say that?
Balance is important.
So scary.
We have a difference in opinions.
From the start,
I felt you demanded attention.
You did awesome on that part.
Wen Zhe?
- You were the lead vocalist, right? - Right.
Did you feel you fell short in the ad lib?
Yes.
But I'll let it slide since it's your
first performance.
Good job.
Thank you.
- Cai Bing. - Yes?
I can't...
I can't take how alluring you are.
Even when you're straight-faced.
You're really something.
Thank you.
I'm jealous. Sunmi praised her.
Cai Bing's a great dancer.
It wasn't a part that's noticeable.
But she made it pretty.
She has the ability to really pull you in.
So who are the TOP9 candidates?
Cai Bing.
Really?
Chia Yi.
And...
You're very good. But.
You need to match the energy
with the rest.
Fu Ya Ning
And that's it.
We all had different opinions,
but we could all agree that
the performance was fierce.
Great work.
Thank you.
Good job.
Let's go.
Great work.
So charming.
I thought all five of us would make it.
We felt bad for Wen Zhe and Chang Ching,
because they're our unit still.
As the leader I'm grateful to all of you.
We're grateful too.
- Well done! - Well done!
I feel more pressure now.
I was fine but I feel pressured now.
I was really worried.
Choi Yu Jin.
Yu Jin!
- Finally! We're up. - Good luck.
Good luck, you'll do great.
You got this!
You'll do great.
All of us in K Group said,
We are all excited for her performance.
They all expect me to do well.
But I don't think I'm quite that good.
So I really felt the pressure.
Next candidate, please come up.
How pretty!
I love you!
So beautiful!
She's so pretty.
It's been 7 years since her debut.
She must be nervous.
Hello, I'm not only sassy but alluring.
I own the stage.
I'm the entertainer who can do it all.
Look at how great she looks.
Earlier Group C did CLC's 'Helicopter.'
giving a chance to size them up.
You seemed to enjoy it.
How was it?
It was...
It was powerful and bursting with energy.
And the song itself was great.
The well-experienced and a pro.
The confidence was real.
You can't deny a pro's confidence.
I don't know what they mean.
I'm going to conquer this show!
Please start.
Go for it!
You can do it!
I thought she'd be in heels.
But she's not.
Maybe she changed her mind.
Yeah, maybe.
Standby.
K Group's Choi Yu Jin.
She was a CLC member.
She's already debuted so she'll do well.
I can't wait to see how well Yu Jin does.
Yu Jin already debuted.
Yu Jin always does well.
I always trust she'd do well.
So I... Slept.
Yu Jin, I love you!
I know myself very well.
I buckle when I feel pressure.
So I figured I'd just enjoy it.
They're here to see me,
so I'll show them what I'm about.
We'll open the global polls to vote
on Friday, August 13.
50% will be votes from Korea.
50% will be overseas votes.
All the votes will be added.
Planet Guardians!
Only you can make their dreams come true!
