Now, there's only 29 contestants left.

Rules:
◆ Each agency can cast five general contestants and two trainees.
◆ YHY gave up both of his casting card for trainees to YG and JYP. 
So, both YG and JYP have three cards for trainees.


#You can watch the contestants' performance by clicking on the song's title ^^


Jeon Ji Soo (17) & Lee Seo Jin (20)


"One person did worst than I expected while the other did better"
-JYP-

■ Both YG and Antenna gave up their casting opportunity.

I have no choice but to cast you"
-JYP-

Kim Yoon Hui   ➨   




Lee Soo Min (17) & Ko Ara (15)


Their performance was so brilliant, YHY even regretted his decision of
giving up his casting cards. #LOL

While YHY made his comments, YG stole JYP's priority pass to stop
him from stealing the contestants.
#LOL

JYP suddenly interrupted YHY's comment saying, "This is how you flirt
with women, isn't it? Even though I'm a man, I'm swayed too."
#LOL

#There's so many LOL moments, I would just recommend you to watch it!

■ YG and JYP were fighting to cast Lee Soo Min.

Ko Ara   ➨   

Lee Soo Min    ➨  




Kim Jong Seob (11) & Lee Hyun Jin (11)

-YHY-

Woo Nyung In  ➨  




Baek Seon Nyeo (22) & Ma Eun Jin (19)


■ Baek Seon Nyeo had a terrible flu while Ma Eun Jin had laryngitis and rhinitis.

They know each other since Han Byeol is friend with Ka Kyung's younger sister.

Before her performance, JYP said they have high expectation from her.
But Han Byeol asked them not to have any expectation.
#LOL

# I recommend you to watch her interaction with the judges. Just hilarious!

Han Byeol   ➨  




Lee Sung Eun (15)


■ She was having a hard time re-arranging the song since she don't have 
any direction except not to make it sounds boring.

(JYP said he wished he has another casting card since it's a pity to let Ga Rin go.)




Kim Joo Eun (22)

♪I Think of You - Own song♪

-JYP-

Kim Joo Eun   ➨
