Universe League's main players showed their passion for debut.

In the second episode of SBS Global Boy Group Audition Program Universe League, which aired on the 29th, bench tests of participants who were on the verge of elimination and first-round missions of key players against the league were held, raising tensions.

Twenty-one independent participants who did not survive the previous mission got the last chance to rescue them. So-called bench test. In response, the participants risked their lives and lives in the bench test, saying, `Last chance.'




In particular, Nam Do-yoon became a team beat bench player after three tests, and Kwon Hee-joon sobbed when he was recruited as a team rhythm bench player. Hiroto, who was not chosen until the end, shed tears of relief in the arms of the team groove. As Hiroto visited the team, all 21 independent players succeeded in becoming bench players.

Subsequently, the first round mission of the league match was held in earnest. The main players will face each other and the bench will face each other, and the players will have to select the representative songs of each team's coach and perform the stage. In particular, the team at the bottom of the first round mission will receive a yellow card that will determine the elimination of the bench player. As a result, the war to avoid yellow cards began.

First, the main players faced off. Team Rhythm featured WayV's 'Give Me That'. In the team rhythm, JL and Park Joo-won, who received 'Duplex Pick' in the previous mission, were selected as aces. Among them, JL was recognized by team rhythm directors for his flawless skills and won the killing part and main vocal.




The stage of 'Give Me That' that was later released was mostly favorable. Based on perfect teamwork, he showed a high-quality performance. As a result of the audience vote, Park Joo-won was called the MVP of the team rhythm.

Team Beat ambitiously selected Triple S's 'Girls Never Die' and prepared a male version of 'Boys Never Die'. However, Tim Witt had a conflict with Park Ji-hoon. This is because Park Ji-hoon, who is not good enough, did not work hard in practice. Cha Woong-ki also responded that he did not understand Park Ji-hoon's behavior.

Team Beat, who failed to match the teamwork until the end, showed a disappointing performance. Team Beat director Yugyeom sighs when Park Ji-hoon and Geum Jin-ho make mistakes. Amid a flurry of disappointing reactions, Cha Woong-ki, who played an active role as an experienced idol, became the MVP of Team Beat.




Team Groove chose BTOB's 'Missing You'. As a team with strong vocalists, the main vocal selection process was fierce. However, Jang Kyung-ho, who was aiming for the main vocalist, did not receive good reviews due to his vocal deviation. He tried again due to his greed for his part, but his voice cracked again. In response, Jang Kyung-ho also said "I'm angry with myself." Seo Jung-woo, who was a trainee for three weeks, was also criticized by director Lee Chang-seop for his disappointing skills.

Jang Kyung-ho also made a mistake in lyrics and beats on the main stage of 'Missing You', causing regret. On the other hand, Seo Jung-woo successfully finished the ending part in a stable manner, and he was selected as MVP, resulting in a reversal result.

As a result of the main match in the first half, the team rhythm ranked first in the middle rankings, with 1,234 points for the team rhythm, 996 points for the team beat, and 1,172 points for the team groove. However, a bench match can sufficiently overturn the result. Expectations are high for next week's broadcast on which team will take the final first place in the first round.

Meanwhile, co-produced by SBS and F&F Entertainment, Universe League is a league-style survival in which players compete to win a single Prism Cup. Following the Eunice of Season 1 Universe Ticket, it is expected to create a new global idol group.

Episode 3 of Universe League will air on December 6 at 11:20 p.m.
