the trainees dance confidently, showing off their skills to the camera.

??? (STAFF MEMBER): I think this is too easy...

suddenly the speed increases to double time!

but, the trainees surprisingly had no problem with the tempo change.

CHA AREUM (CHYRSALISM): Aren't you glad we practiced it this way to make sure our moves were clear?

SEOK GUNYOO (CHYRSALISM): I mean I wasn't then...

KIM JIWOO (CHYRSALISM): But I definitely am now!

??? (STAFF MEMBER): Do you think it could be you?

CHA AREUM (MNH / ?): Well I mean, yes... because they called my name as a candidate, but also the other girls are four of the most popular girls on the show. But honestly, I don't think it would be me.

sojung, usually fierce and unbreakabke begins to cry at accomplishment. 

LEE SOJUNG (FNC / 5): I don't deserve to be here, but I'm so happy to be. debuting was my dream for a very long time but  when the girls and I didn't find success, I felt like I had failed them as a leader. when we came on this show my new dream was to make it to the debut lineup. i thought it was impossible but it ended up... not being. all because of everyone who helped me to get here. I am eternally grateful.

（INTERVIEW）

DANIKA MANOBAN (FNC / 18): I'll admit that it stings a little bit to be the only FNC trainee out of the debut lineup... but I mean I've always been a little behind them, and it's not really fair to ask them to wait for me... maybe i'm just not meant for this.

-

CAROL LAI (FNC / 9): I'm really proud of all of us... Yunran, Sojung, Danika. We've never been a particularly lucky group of idols or trainees, but I think slowly we're proving ourselves to everyone that we deserve to be here.
