↬ [ EP. 4 ] PART 5

ERIC [ HOST ]: And now for the final rap performance of the night that will get you all pumped!

[ 5 trainees walk onto the stage ]

BORN HATER TEAM: Making a change, hello we are Rebellions!

DID REBELLIONS WORK WELL TOGETHER?

ZICO [ R. MENTOR ]: /yawns/ Your performance is boring me. Where is the charisma, the swag, or at least the connection with the other members? I see 5 people performing solos, and it's so awkward. You're covering a group with some of the strongest rappers and right now this is so weak.

[ the trainees nod their heads as they listen to their mentor ]

ZICO [ R. MENTOR ]: Should I remind you that only the top 24 move forward. Hyojin, Jason, and Jiwoon, you're all past 24 and this has to be the performance to move your ranks up. Minhyung and Hyunjoon, your positions are close to the eliminated ranks and many trainees will be fighting for your spots, this performance has to prove you're worthy of continuing.

[ the trainees nod again ]

~~~~~

NHO MINHYUNG [ 18 ]: His words were harsh and he scared me, but then again the truth is hard. I just have to work harder to prove myself.

JEON HYOJIN [ 18 ]: As the leader of our group, I need to ensure everyone does well with this performance. I just hope we all make it.

[ the mentor evaluation ends and zico leaves the practice room. hyojin calls the trainees to sit in a circle around him ]

JEON HYOJIN [ 27 ]: Our mentor is right. We all need to prove ourselves still.

JASON LEE [ 28 ]: But what if we can't?

NOH HYUNJOON [ 20 ]: Don't think like that, we've got to be positive!
