Jeon Min-wook, Sakurada Kenshin, Seo Kyung-bae, Jang Yeo-jun, Song Seung-ho, Kim Sung-min, and Ma Jing-siang took a big step closer to the 'debut group', winning the 'second combined formula' TOP7 of JTBC 'PRODUCT 7 (Project 7).

Korea's first new concept idol assembly reinforcement audition JTBC 'PRODUCT 7'8th episode 'Second Abortion Ceremony', which aired on the 29th (Friday), revealed 35 trainees who passed through 50% survival rate, while 35 who failed and 35 who passed were seen saying goodbye in stormy tears. After that, 35 successful applicants were born with five assemblies assembled by the World Assemblers, and the curiosity was raised as they entered the third round 'Original Match'.

MC Lee Soo-hyuk first appeared on the scene to announce the results of the 'second round of mixed-up ceremony' and explained that `70 new rankings, passions, and eliminations were decided by adding up the rival match benefit and the second global vote of the world assemblers.' In particular, it raised tensions by mentioning changes in rankings due to benefits applied with a deduction system that was not in any audition.




Unlike the first round, the black and white teams, who faced each other in the rival match, went up to the podium and announced the successful candidates excluding the TOP7 candidate and the 35th place within the two teams. And before the start of the `Second Abandonment Ceremony,' a horror interview video of the trainees facing a sudden ghost was released, creating a sea of laughter.

First, assembly A1, which showed the stage with RIIZE (rise), went up to the podium, and Kwon Yong-hyun, ranked 23rd, was the first to announce the successful candidates. Next, the successful candidates were called out one after another, including A5 who performed as TOMORROW X TOGETHER, A2 who covered MONSTA X, A4 who covered NCT's representative songs, and A3 who competed with Stray Kids' representative songs.

After the 10th to 34th trainees, determined by the vote of the world assemblers, the 35th place, which barely survived the crossroads of survival and elimination, was announced with keen interest, and Lin Lin of Kim Tae-yu, Lin Lin, Fukuyama Sota, and Ha Seok-hee grabbed her heart with emotion after finishing 35th.

Next, the rankings of the top-ranked trainees were announced, and the tension of the trainees doubled as the real-time voting conducted after the first round of the merger ceremony was particularly large. After the names of Kim Si-hoon, Nam Ji-woon, and Ma Jingxiang were called as the seventh-place candidates who crossed the TOP7 threshold, Kim Si-hoon was called Nam Ji-woon in eighth place and Ma Jingxiang in seventh place, and Ma Jingxiang was applauded for his three-language impressions of "World assemblers, rest well and eat well when you rest."

From the sixth place, the names were immediately released, making viewers' hearts flutter. MC Lee Soo-hyuk led everyone's mouth by saying that the global voting score exceeded 2 million from sixth place. Kim Sung-min, who received sixth place, was ranked lower than the first round, and Song Seung-ho, who was applied with benefits, was called fifth, which jumped nine spots from 14th place in the first round. And Kim Sung-min cried and cried at the end of the elimination of his younger brother Seo Jin-won, who always took care of him. Jang Yeo-jun, who ranked fourth, cried and cheered for Park Chan-yong, who was eliminated after five years together, and Seo Kyung-bae, who ranked third, was selected as the main character who best absorbed the training system of 'PRODUCT 7' and showed a scary rise.

The first-place candidates, Jeon Min-wook and Kenshin Sakurada, both received 70,000 points for benefits, and both want to be "1st place." signaled a lack of greed. However, with Jeon eventually topping the long-awaited list, Jeon washed away her revenge, which had dropped to second place in the midterm real-time voting. And Kenshin Sakurada took second place by a very narrow margin with Jeon Min-wook and expressed her willingness to work harder even to those who fell by pouring out tears.




The successful and eliminated candidates faced another moment of farewell after the 'second round of deprivation', which started with 200 and became 35. "It was an experience that I will never forget my friends and experiences I met here, and I will not be able to change anything." "I hope you debut with a good image."The successful applicants exchanged their final greetings with sobbing at the hopes and cheers of the eliminated.

The 35 trainees then entered the fifth project 'Original Match'. In 'Original Match', unlike the previous position match and rival match, the cover song mission is to compete with five new songs. In particular, the song for this 'Original Match' was decided according to the results of the World Assembly assemblers' assembly vote, making the successful candidates nervous. In the final ending, 35 trainees from the first place Jeon Min-wook showed their joy and excitement after entering the assembly room set by the World Amblers. In the meantime, the completion of the combination, from assembling only vocal positions to unexpected assembling, has been predicted, raising expectations for the start of a new project.

The 9th episode of JTBC 'PRODUCT 7', Korea's first new concept idol assembly reinforcement audition, will air at 8:50 p.m. on December 6.
