I really enjoyed this episode. Unfortunately the Eng subs are bad. Timing is off and a lot of translations are missing. The translations that are there seem accurate, though, from what I saw. I ended up turning off the English subs since I know enough Korean to watch without them. Hope the Eng subs get better later or a better subbed version becomes available somewhere for everyone.
Hybe's gg survival show was previously called l-Land 2. I'm really happy they changed the format of the show from l-Land's which was quite harsh that I think it traumatized the trainees. Enhypen regularly tells Engenes not to watch l-Land, lol. However, not knowing anything about it, I watched l-Land this past January and it (and Enhypen's discography) made me an Engene so the show still has some merit. R U Next's format seems more light and I really like all the coaches. As a 2nd gen stan, it's great to see Jo Kwon, Gyuri, and Sooyoung together in one show. I wonder since Mnet isn't producing this show will we get to not have any evil editing. I hope so.
Spoilers below. I put them in a spoiler tag but it seems the tag only works on the website and not in the apps.

13:40 - Jungeun's a really successful fan to get coached by her idol Kim Jaehwan in this show. She said she was in the 1st generation of his fanclub. She was cute freaking out when she realized she'd have to perform in front of him.
21:57 - The debut group will be only 6 members?! Why not 7 like Enhypen? Historically 6 has been a bad luck number for kpop girl groups; plus, formations look better with an odd number of members. I hope they add another member at the end.
So the first round of the competition is a level test called Tryout that had them prepare a performance in groups of 3 or 4 only to find out they are competing with their group members. The coaches rank each member in each group as high, mid, or low. One person per level except for 4-member groups that can have 2 people at one of the levels.
1:05:18 - Iris's Latin dancing was impressive! Especially how she achieved that in 1 year. The dance coach, Coach Aiki, said she also competed in Latin dance and for Iris to be that good after 1 year of training means she's a genius.
1:37:38 - Lmao at Yunah saying her one & only rival is Jeemin and then Jeemin saying she doesn't have any rivals. I love her confidence. I bet that's one of the reason she got 1st in the monthly evaluation. I'm ready to see their group slay Miss A's Bad Girl, Good Girl next episode.
I enjoyed the performances, but I feel like this has autotuned vocals like the performances in iLand.
Turns out I missed the voting window by one day. It ended on July 5th. That's fine though because I want to see all the performances before I vote, if I decide to vote. I might just watch without voting.
Individual fancams of the performances are uploaded on HYBE LABELS + youtube here.
