Chapter Title Final Position Selection
What the hell? Why is that guys solo interview popping up? Trying to sell some sob story?
I cant stand looking at Baek Sihwa. Just show us Karis instead.
Just as the two sisters said, no one watching expected Baek Sihwas solo interview to appear at this point.
After his misdeeds during the third rounds stage prep came to light, public opinion on him had been utterly shattered.
The production team had included every controversial moment raw, as if theyd known about Baek Sihwa in advance.
His plummeting popularity led straight to a ranking drop, and in the following episodes, they even cut him out of the main footage entirely.
They mustve decided he had no value left.
Yet here he was, topping the practice footage rankings in the allimportant finale.
The realtime SNS reactions flooding Pyo Joohyuns phone matched her thoughts exactly.
Gotta seriously suspect noise marketing here.
Did he take money from that Shin Cheolwoo asshole or what?
Out of nowhere with this sympathy arc, its fucking ridiculous. They already tanked him last episode, now theyre shielding him? Beat him down then play savior, total bullshit.
For real lol They showed his trash personality completely unedited, then suddenly lay on the wistful BGM and turn him into the tragic trainee.
Turns out last episode wasnt even fully unedited, just made to look that way to stir up buzz? Padding runtime.
For buzz? Those goldmine quotes of his are way too perfect.
It was a total curveball, but Pyo Joohyun decided to keep watching for now.
Next up. 11th place, Trainee Baek Sihwa.
Baek Sihwas turn came, and he immediately turned his gaze toward it.
Flashback kicked in again, showing his interview clip.
Baek Sihwa I thought from the start. This has to be it, no question.
Baek Sihwa I absolutely want to hold onto that spot. But since were deciding by pushing people out, my ranking makes me uneasy.
Eleventh out of fourteen traineeshe had every reason to worry.
But unlike in the interview, when positions were assigned, Baek Sihwa boldly stepped up to the main dancer spot for Addicted.
He started off looking triumphant.
That glory didnt last.
SSorry!
Excuse me.
Over here
From main dancer to main rapper.
Main rapper to subvocal 1.
Subvocal 1 to subvocal 2.
And for the finishing touch, he was forced all the way to Cosmos as subvocal 3.
Wow, thats brutal.
You feel bad for him?
Nah, not at all. Its straightup satisfying.
As long as Karis isnt teamed up with Baek Sihwa, Im good.
Pyo Joohyun still got chills thinking back to that time.
Baek Sihwa was the one at fault, but because of those dogshit haters, innocent Karis got dragged through the mud and witchhunted.
The backlash delayed Fever Time activation, leaving them with a bitter third place.
It was a bit sad seeing him get pushed four times alone on set, but Baek Sihwa was just reaping what he sowed.
No room for pity.
Pyo Joohyuns friends thought the same.
Holy shit, getting pushed four times is hilarious af
Karma king legend ᴗ
Dude cant tell Philadelphia from Estonia, hows he supposed to know what position suits him.
That brainless reveal episode pops up every time we forget
But seriously. Did he really think he could pull off main dancer?? For real?? Everyone above him who comes to mind for dance is JYC, SHB, CYG, GSYthis is legit delusion.
And right before, hes sniffling in the interview about how his rank means hell get pushed out, laying all that groundwork, then struts right up to main dancer like he owns it.
He didnt even have main dancer vibes from the start, thats why he kept getting shoved lololol Now hes milking didnt expect to get pushed this far with the Philadelphia cream cheese bit.
And then Baek Sihwa muttered to himself, his mental breaking, perfectly fulfilling one comments prophecy.
I didnt think itd go this far.
Wtf dude, you Baek Sihwa or what?
I just happened to guess right, no need to get nasty. PPAPd it, sue me its delicious.
Marong a shaman or something? Mind blown.
Lmao hit up the holy site!!
What now. An 11thplace scrub in finals snagging a main position? Impossible for anyone to buy, especially after stirring up personality drama right before that makes him drop out level, and he still goes for main dancer like its his right. No talent or no shame?
Both. Thats Chihwa baby
At least he didnt go for center, so hes still human.
If hed gone for center wed be doublecursing his timeline??
Hey, for real. Why didnt anyone go for center?
Pyo Joohyun, scrolling SNS, glanced at the TV and was mildly surprised.
Shed been so focused on the trainees choices that shed overlooked it.
With the top four left, both Cosmos and Addicted had empty centers.
Top ranksll take center anyway? If I were them, Id pick a solid position over wandering like Baek Sihwa.
Pyo Jihyun had fetched ice cream from the fridge at some point.
Peeling it open neatly, she made her own sharp prediction.
Chae Eungyus rank is the iffiest, so he wont push for center. Probably main dancer? Yooncheol wants center again this time. Karis is tricky. Skipped it last round on purpose, maybe hell go now. Then Song Hyeongbins a lock for center, so one of those three has to shift.
Nooo, we gotta protect Karis!
Pyo Joohyun clasped her hands and prayed hard.
As her sister said, this was the finale.
No more stages after this.
To max debut odds, they needed the best spot on the final stage.
Landing center meant showcasing their name and presence to millions of viewers.
Sorry.
Ah
Oh, for real?
Duh. Id do the same as Chae Eungyu.
Just as Pyo Jihyun predicted, fourthplace Chae Eungyu skipped center and took Addicteds main dancer.
Karis was next.
Karis von Walden Id already made up my mind from the start.
Karis von Walden No matter what unfolds before me, my choice wont change.
After the resolute interview, Karis strode confidently to the empty Cosmos center.
The sisters had opposite reactions.
Thats it! Phew, thank god. Dont get pushed, please.
Cosmos suits Karis better, honestly.
Pyo Joohyun thought of Addicteds safe vibe and clicked her tongue.
Karis shines more with a clear theme than something generic. I get going Cosmos to build that fresh image, but damn, he was hotter in Addicted.
Sis, opposite tastes. I love clean and refreshing songs. Addicteds too sticky.
That mature sexy vibe is perfect for Karis. Kids wouldnt get it.
Yup! Congrats on being ancient.
Next, secondplace Ji Yooncheol faced his choice.
Like Chae Eungyu and Karis, he moved without hesitation.
Yes! Please go Addicted, Song Hyeongbin.
Nah? Hell pick Cosmos too? Good luck.
Pyo Jihyun clapped in at Ji Yooncheol going for Cosmos center.
Shed agonized over her faves screen time before.
But the final boss remained.
Pyo Joohyun swallowed hard.
Then one of Karis or Ji Yooncheol might get forced to the leftover spot.
What would Song Hyeongbin choose?
SNS was split down the middle when Song Hyeongbin stood between the songs, squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them.
He grabbed Ji Yooncheols shoulder and said,
Ill take this one.
Waaah!
A primal scream burst from Pyo Joohyun.
Her sister, witnessing the horror up close, froze like a statue.
No way it happened?
Fucking infuriating.
Her venting companion slumped, temporarily out of commission.
Pyo Joohyun had no choice but to check reactions on her phone.
Shocks and gasps flew here too.
Wtf cosmos real?
No fucking way sb Hyeongbin take it back Ill give you a chance
He fucked up big time. Cosmos is full, Yooncheol to Addicted
But then he cant even do his preferred song?? Second place??
Subvocal 2 too lololol sb curse of second
Why shit the bed in finals after cruising? So unfair.
Yooncheol basically gets last pick then, this right? Massive loss total BS dogshit
Song change is bad enough, subvocal 2 is insane lololol 5sec part?
At least Yoonking can sing?
Yeah but he wont show on cam.
Still, hes tall and handsome, theyll give him something right? They have to or Im done.
But Addicted centers Karis and main dancers Eungyu.
Were screwed fr
Whoa but Karis and Ji Yooncheol same team for first time?? Not that they wanted it.
Yooncheol, film that hope we get close well.
Camp ep showed Yooncheol and Karis chem was fire?! Pray for twoman pair choreo now.
Ji Yooncheol, who always dominated center, got bumped to subvocal 2. In the finale, no less.
Unimaginable shock for his fans.
But pure entertainment for others.
The reallife giant eyes duo, confirmed in YouTube behindthescenesfinally together on survival stage.
This is getting fun.
Pyo Joohyun was thrilled her fave Karis got the prime spot.
Sorry to her stilldazed sister, but so glad it wasnt Karis getting pushed.
And deep down, she clenched her fist from another angle.
Ji Yooncheol, who outranked Karis in round 3, stuck with a meh parthis presence might get buried onstage. Then Karis could naturally rise in ranks.
Pyo Joohyuns wish was simple.
See Karis claim the number one throne at last.
The dream shed harbored since stanning him.
So whens the next time?
As Cosmos teams practice footage began, it felt like reality.
