(Admission ceremony into The Unit)
It feels like I'm going on a picnic. I'm overwhelmed.
I was really nervous.
I thought it had finally begun.
(They turn off their phones)
(to focus on their training.)
I'll have the mindset of a rookie.
(What's waiting for them?)
(Let us reveal the first mission!)
(Be the performer of a music video)
(with the budget of 500,000 dollars.)
(They are shocked.)
(What on earth happened to them?)
(The first gateway to The Unit)
(is the performance to earn boots.)
(Active idol singers delivered amazing performances.)
(They can join the show either with)
(Super Boot from the audience)
(or boots from the Mentor Corps.)
I believe the only thing I'm good at is singing.
I thought to myself
if I would ever have another opportunity
to show my talents if not now.
(The last performance of the desperate singers)
(begins now.)
Who's next?
(Matilda)
Matilda.
Come on out.
- Hello, we're Matilda. / - Hello, we're Matilda.
(Matilda is an idol group with great vocalists.)
Are you the daughter of Park Haki?
Yes, I am.
(Their joint performance garnered attention.)
("Show Me How You Burlesque" by Matilda)
(Regretfully, their performance ends with five boots.)
Why? I can't believe this. No way.
You said your wish is to become busy.
Last year, we released three songs
and performed with those songs,
but we've been on a break for a year
because they didn't do well.
We always talked about
how we wished that we can say
we want to have some time off
because we were too busy.
You said you've been on this break for a year,
but it was nine years for me.
I was an unknown singer for nine years.
However, right now I barely have time to rest,
and I've been really busy these days.
I'm sure things will work out for you too.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
Here are the evaluations for Matilda's boots.
We'll start with Saebyeol.
(The mentors' choice is)
(two boots.)
(Taemin and San E)
Saebyeol.
What am I going to do?
(Her celebratory gestures are a bit over the top.)
(They're flustered.)
Thank you so much.
- She startled me. / - I'll do my best!
It's a good thing Taemin and I gave her the boots.
- Yes! / - Thank you.
We did the right thing.
She makes me want to dance too.
I'm so happy!
I'm so happy!
It's my first time seeing Taemin do such a thing.
Semmi and Dana.
(Dana receives four boots.)
Dana, you received four boots from us.
(This is her tearful, celebratory gesture.)
(Semmi receives four boots.)
(Chiyeul, Hyuna, Rain, and San E)
- Dance, dance, dance. / - My gosh.
- Go, girl! / - Thank you.
You received four boots in total.
(Grunting)
(Haena receives three boots.)
(Chiyeul, Taemin, and Hyunah)
Thank you.
(They shed happy tears as everyone passes.)
Congratulations!
- Thank you. / - Thank you. We'll do our best.
Our group debuted in June 2014.
We'd like to get the Super Boot.
I had a good dream last night.
I have a feeling this will go well.
(Can his dream become a dream of good omen?)
- Okay. Who's real? Bigflo. / - Bigflo.
- Hello, we're Bigflo. / - Hello, we're Bigflo.
Bigflo! What's up?
As soon as they walked in, I could feel their presence.
(It seems like the effect of his good dream)
(can be seen from the start.)
Let's discuss further about your group
after the performance.
("Apology" by Bigflo)
(Wobbling)
(The mentors keep their silence)
(as their dance falls out of sync.)
Choosing this song to perform was a mistake.
The choice of the song was a mistake.
Can I see Euijin's dance first?
- Yes. / - Dance for us.
My gosh.
First off, I think this guy is a very professional one.
Wait, hold on. You're older than me. I apologize.
(Euijin was born in 1991, and Taemin was born in 1993.)
(This is the tragedy of being so young)
(with a lot of experience.)
- You meant to say he's a colleague. / - Right.
The moment I saw you, I knew it.
My gut told me that you were a dancer.
I felt that from your eyes and confidence.
Compared to other performers, you weren't nervous,
and you showed your talent well.
To add on to what Taemin said,
I thought you would make a great match
for someone I had in mind.
(Feeldog of Big Star)
(Lee Juhyeon)
I'll keep you in mind.
Actually,
(He abruptly intervenes.)
I prepared to sing Chiyeul's "A Daily Song".
I'm sorry.
Did you guys coordinate the outfits together?
You even prepared the outfit?
It's a personal favor I want to ask.
(They request for a joint performance.)
Come on.
- Sing with him. / - Can you guys sing together?
Just this once.
Chiyeul, just this once, please.
(It's a performance you can see only on The Unit.)
All right.
For your information, I went down to the stage.
(Chiyeul, the mentor, sets out.)
My goodness.
Exactly.
(The guys in similar outfits face each other at last.)
Rain, I can dance.
Can you?
Please play the music.
(That's right. I'm Chiyeul.)
(I used to be a famous b-boy.)
(Shouting in admiration)
(Look at my dance moves.)
(He's impressed.)
That was great.
Dance a bit more. More, please!
My gosh, I wanted to see more.
- He earned the Super Boot! / - Here's the Super Boot!
(Chiyeul gets the Super Boot.)
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
(How witty of them.)
- Thank you, everyone. / - All right.
I'd like you to sing without the music.
(Finally, they are about to perform together.)
♪ The song I listen to every day ♪
♪ Reminds me of you ♪
♪ Because it sounds like our story ♪
♪ No matter how hard I try ♪
♪ To cover my ears ♪
♪ I keep hearing the song ♪
(Their performance is something)
(we can listen to every day.)
Oh, shoot!
You were great.
(They put their meaningful performance behind them.)
(Only the silence hangs in the air.)
We should be grateful at least one of us made it.
Exactly.
Do your best.
But all of us worked hard for it.
- You can do this. / - Good luck.
We'll proceed with the evaluations for your boots.
We'll check Lex and Euijin's results right away.
(Euijin gets five boots, and Lex gets none.)
(The mentors make their decisions objectively.)
Only Euijin passed this round.
- Right. / - You will represent your group,
so I hope you will get to stay with us until the end.
I will try.
- Now, the hero is back! / - Now, the hero is back!
- Hi, we're A-Jax. / - Hi, we're A-Jax.
Hi, I'm Seungjin, the best dancer
and the cutie of the group.
Hello, I'm Junghee, the vocalist
and the youngest of the group.
(DSP Entertainment is the best agency)
(at producing idol groups.)
(In 2012, the agency created A-Jax with ambition.)
It's been five years since our debut,
but we were only active for a year and a half.
("A-Jax Is to Perform in China")
(They should perform in Korea too.)
(They've been gone for three years.)
The agency told the public
we won't be performing in Korea.
I was frustrated and felt wronged.
I felt like I hadn't achieved anything.
I felt that I had been abandoned the most.
I want to perform on stage.
I wanted to show the people
our talent on stage by all means.
I think this might be our last chance.
("Boom Boom" by Seungjin and Junghee of A-Jax)
(Clap)
(Their idea was cute.)
Clap!
(Clap)
Are you aware that you received the Super Boot
from the audience?
- No. / - Really?
(They're puzzled.)
Thank you.
Thank you.
Please tell us how you're feeling.
Everyone says that they work hard.
Instead of saying, "I'll do my best",
I'll say, "I'll make sure I do well."
Please support us!
- Thank you for your performance. / - Congratulations.
- Thank you. / - Good job.
Strangely...
(Tears roll down.)
(He lets out a sigh.)
(What happened to them?)
(The stage is like a battlefield.)
- Hello. / - Hello.
- Hello. / - Hello.
- Hello. / - Hello.
(How will the audience and mentors decide?)
Oh, yes. Welcome to the show.
Let us introduce ourselves. Attention!
- We are A.cian. / - We are A.cian.
- Hi, we're A.cian. / - Hi, we're A.cian.
It's nice to meet you.
(Jungsang and Jino of A.cian debuted in 2012.)
It's been about a year and a half since our last song.
We saw the promotion video on KBS for The Unit.
After we saw the video,
our dreams of becoming singers
which we buried in our hearts
started to come back to us.
I had no prospects. I just had to wait.
I hated the situation I was in.
So, I talked to the executives of the agency.
I said I couldn't support myself,
and it was so hard for me to handle.
I couldn't practice even if I wanted.
These days,
I have a part-time job.
- Right now? / - Yes.
The restaurant I work is in Hapjeong.
There's a really big company there.
It's YG. An artist from YG visited the restaurant.
From the group, Winner.
I couldn't concentrate on work at that time.
I was very confused.
If we go to our practice room after seeing this...
- Our practice room is nice. / - Yes, it's quite nice.
But this isn't our practice room.
Right.
("B-DAY" by Jungsang and Jino of A.cian)
(They proudly picked this song.)
(They ended their performance receiving three boots.)
A.cian.
(The mentors' meeting continues.)
They went through a lot of hardships.
But I don't think they worked hard enough
compared to their hardships.
I'm curious about how hard
they will perform again to pass.
- I'm not sure. / - That could be their limit.
Yes, that could be true.
That's why I don't want to try it for nothing.
I want to give them an "X".
(What will the final result be for A.cian?)
Please reveal the boot results.
(Jungsang got four boots, Jino got zero boots)
Thank you.
(Jino wasn't chosen by the mentors.)
I wanted to give a boot for you.
I thought a lot about it.
You already performed as an idol group,
so I had high standards.
I also have pride in being an idol singer.
That's what I thought.
This situation is sad,
but there are ways to prepare
even if the situation is tough.
Please work harder.
(At this moment)
I really want to do...
this together.
(He couldn't continue speaking)
(because he was choked up.)
We went through so much together.
We thought that this was our last chance.
That's why...
I'm sorry that I'm the only one that passed.
I have so many things
that I'm sorry about to him.
I need a minute.
I just wish...
that he would do a good job.
(The challenge towards their dream continues.)
(Amazing performances and powerful vocals)
(A seven-year idol, My Name joins The Unit.)
(Well rounded Korean wave idol group B.I.G,)
(joins The Unit with their own choreography.)
(Fresh boyfriend-like idol group Snuper,)
(joins The Unit with a friendly charm.)
(Talented idol Imfact also joins.)
(Idol groups that perform well)
(continue to join The Unit.)
(And)
(a group band appears on The Unit?)
- Hello. / - Hello.
- We're the band, Mas. / - We're the band, Mas.
Why did you apply for The Unit?
Actually, we're not a band formed by a company.
We're just neighborhood friends who made a band...
- to do music. / - They're neighborhood friends.
The number of stages
that bands can perform is limited in Korea.
I thought a unique team could be made
if our band was on The Unit.
("Kissing Strangers" by Mas)
(Could they show their charm?)
(The excitement feels like a concert.)
(An unexpected situation happens.)
(The guitar string fell out after tripping over it.)
(The atmosphere of the mentors suddenly freezes.)
Can anyone dance
among the five members?
(Will they be able to change the atmosphere?)
We prepared a short choreography
- for The Unit. / - Please, show us.
(How well will this band dance?)
How could these five perform
in perfect harmony like this?
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
Please wait for a moment.
(The mentors start to decide more carefully.)
It's obvious that they aren't skilled enough
to choreograph dances after practicing
three or four days for a mission.
I'm not sure
if they suit this program.
We will reveal the boot result for Mas.
- Dongmyeong? / - Yes?
- Yonghoon. / - Harin.
Kanghyun and Cya, please step forward.
Please reveal the boot results.
(The mentors' choice is two boots.)
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
(All members of Mas join The Unit.)
There are a lot of performers
who are good at singing and dancing.
You'll have to work harder to survive
after competing with them.
(Female performers came to participate in The Unit.)
(They have a variety of charms.)
(What kind of stage will they show us?)
("Chandelier" by Park Jiwon)
(Jiwon performed modern dance.)
("Sweet Dreams" by Lee Bolim)
(Lee Bolim made an appeal with her own choreography.)
I want to say that you show the potential
for progress in your singing and dancing.
(They join The Unit.)
(Mint is from Thailand.)
(Mint joins The Unit.)
(Kwon Haseo showed the harmony)
(of rap and modern dance.)
(Haseo joins The Unit.)
(Yena is a 17-year-old girl.)
(Yena joins The Unit.)
(And)
(The female performers)
(that have a strong ambiance appears.)
Rubber Soul, come on.
H.U.B.
(They catch the eyes of the mentors.)
Hello. I'm Kim
from the female hip-hop duo, Rubber Soul.
Do you remember me?
Yes, I remember you.
You were on "Unpretty Rapstar 2".
- Yes, that's right. / - That's right.
("Mommae" by Kim of Rubber Soul)
(The audience's choice is three boots.)
We heard enough of your rapping.
It would be nice if you could sing a little for us.
(She has a unique tone and groove.)
Her singing is better.
I like her singing better.
It sounds so nice.
Kim.
Thank you.
I thought her appearance really stood out
when she first came out.
When people are pretty, they emphasize on that.
But she didn't emphasize on that once.
- I thought highly of that. / - Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello, I'm Hyosun from H.U.B.
I might look tough on the outside,
but I'm a sensitive girl inside.
I think she looks like a gym trainer
just judging from her silhouette.
I thought a gym trainer was holding something
and standing there.
I was really surprised after hearing your voice.
("CRZY" by Hyosun of H.U.B)
Did you dance with Nu'est?
Yes, I was their dancer for their song "Hello".
- I gave them vocal lessons. / - Really?
Why don't I remember you?
- I sat with Minhyun / - Yes,
- at a table. / - you were there.
That's me.
(When Nu'est performed "Hello" in 2013,)
(Hyosun performed as a dancer.)
Yes, I saw you at that table.
- She looks so different. / - I have goosebumps.
You look amazing now, but you have
- a different charm back then. / - Yes.
Your atmosphere is so different.
Please reveal the boot results.
(The mentors' choice is three boots.)
(Taemin, Hyuna, San E)
Thank you.
(Hyosun confidently joins The Unit.)
(She also exits confidently.)
(There were a lot of group performers on set.)
(On one side of the waiting room,)
(Did she turn into stone?)
(She eats.)
I'm jealous because they have several members.
NC.A.
Hello, I'm solo singer NC.A. Please look forward to me.
(It has been four years since she has debuted)
(as a solo female singer.)
I was alone since my debut.
Other groups would be friendly to each other
when you see the ending scenes.
I was jealous of groups for things like that.
I'll try my best to show
what I do best.
("Watch Memories" by NC.A)
(An explosive volume of voice)
(comes from her small figure.)
- Oh, my. / - Super Boot.
Even before we had a chance to judge you,
- the audience gave a Super Boot. / - Thank you.
- Really? / - Congratulations.
- The stage looks like a rainbow. / - Thank you.
Thank you.
(And)
(the last performer has waited for a long time.)
(Ji Hansol)
Ji Hansol.
To the stage.
(He enters the stage boasting his amazing proportion.)
(He's from the trainee project group, SM Rookies.)
(He gained attention from his amazing dancing skills.)
(Why did he come to The Unit?)
I accepted this challenge because I thought
I would regret when I am older.
(Hansol came to The Unit for a new start.)
Hello, I am Ji Hansol
who wants to become a super dancing singer.
Please look forward to me.
- Hansol. / - What do you think?
I know him.
(What is this familiar song?)
(It's Taemin's song.)
Is he going to sing this?
("Good Bye" by Ji Hansol)
(He achieved the Super Boot dramatically.)
(He gets to join The Unit thanks to the Audience Boot.)
Now that you got Super Boot, you passed.
Thank you.
Actually, Hansol used to be
my backup dancer
in my concerts.
I believe we could see
his passion inside of him.
I like Hansol's own style and feelings.
So, I want you to improve those things.
I want you to learn how to control your feelings
in a more professional way.
I was very nervous,
but I was honored to perform
in front of the mentors today.
We'll see you later.
(The last stage of The Unit is finally over.)
(Here are the faces of The Unit chosen)
(by the audience and the Mentor Corps.)
(Janey)
(Sandy, One Junn)
(Sebin, Genie)
(Lim Junhyeok, Jun)
(Dabin)
(Han Areum)
(Hyeyeon)
(Kim Timoteo, Sunghak)
(Euna Kim, Joo)
(Jin, Feeldog)
(Donghyun)
(Unit Makers,)
(please visit our website to meet Unit B and Unit G.)
(The beginning of their long journey)
I'm very excited. It feels like I'm in a retreat.
(Where would the members of The Unit stay?)
It feels like I'm having a new experience.
I'm not a trainee anymore.
But I've worked as a singer for a long time.
This is my first time.
I'm nervous. What kind of people would be there?
I'll go back to the basics.
I thought I'd get my belongings checked.
(Say goodbye to the outside world.)
(Comfortable beds greet them.)
Gosh, this is amazing.
I wonder what kind of food we'd get to eat.
- Me too. / - If it would be good.
What would we eat?
The cooks at the cafeteria are as good
as Baek Jongwon.
The food is really good here. I was impressed.
(They're excited to have a training camp.)
(And)
This is so intimidating.
No way.
As I expected, it was quite scary.
I was afraid.
(Their training camp is being revealed now.)
(The thrill didn't last long.)
(Something terrifying is coming over to them.)
(What will happen in here?)
