In episode 10 of the SBS global audition program 'Universe Ticket', which aired on the afternoon of the 17th, the final stage of the 16 contestants who survived to the final stage was depicted. The host was hosted by broadcaster Jang Seong-gyu.
On this day, the participants opened spectacularly with the 'Universe Ticket' signal song 'Would You Like to Come Together?', and then performed a remake song and two new songs each on stage, showing off the skills they had been practicing to the fullest.
Gabi, Kim Soo-min, Nana, Narumi, Elysia, Oh Yoon-ah, Yuri, Jelly Danka, and Kotoko, who appeared in pure white costumes, presented warm emotions with Fin.K.L's 'White', while Bang Yun-ha, Bae Haram, Lee Seon-woo, Lim Seo-won, Jeon Jin-young, Jin Hyun-joo, and Hwang Si-eun showed a different charm from the original song by refreshingly performing Super Junior's 'Miracle', which was arranged in an acoustic version.
Unicorn Kim Se-jeong, who saw the stage, praised both teams, saying, "I was moved. The team shone and each individual shone," and Rian said, "Thank you for showing us a stage worthy of the finals. I watched from the beginning, and now they all look like professionals. I hope all 16 members debut. “He offered his sincere support.
The teams for Star Wars* and Paper Maker's new songs 'Dopamine' and 'Camera' were chosen by the producer. The producer was able to point out the member in the strongest position. War of the Stars* and Paper Maker both nominated Elysia as their main vocalist, and the final choice went to Elysia. When Elysia chose the song 'Camera', Star Wars* responded by recruiting Lim Seo-won as the main vocalist.
For the killing part, both producers chose Nana, resulting in a fierce team composition competition. When Nana chose the 'Dopamine' team, Paper Maker selected Bang Yun-ha for the same position, and in the end, 'Dopamine' was Nana, Narumi, Oh Yoon-ah, Lim Seo-won, Jin Hyeon-ju, Kotoko, and Hwang Si-eun, and 'Camera' was Gabi. Kim Soo-min, Bang Yun-ha, Bae Haram, Elysia, Yuri, Lee Seon-woo, Jeon Jin-young, and Jelly Danka formed the team.
The 'Dopamine' team appeared in chic outfits and conveyed energy with a powerful performance by utilizing an intense and rough sound, while the 'Camera' team showed off their refreshing and lively charm with witty lyrics and a popping melody.
Hyoyeon was impressed, saying, “I think she expressed the mood of the song better than the producer wanted,” and Younha said, “Bang Yunha and Nana did well from the beginning, but today they were perfect. Jin Hyunjoo has excellent fundamentals and shines even more when there is no direction.” “I know that this is my fourth attempt as an idol, and I have shown that if I sharpen and polish myself, I can become a masterpiece,” he praised.
Elysia, who had previously confirmed her debut by being promoted to P grade for the first time, moved to the debut seat first, followed by 'Miracle', which won the arrangement stage and the new song stage thanks to the Unicorns' selection, and Bang Yun-ha and Nana of the 'Dopamine' team, one step at a time. Upon promotion, he was named on the final debut list.
Bang Yun-ha said, "I can't believe it's over as I've been running for a long time. I want to thank my fans for making the debut I only imagined," and Nana said, "Broadcasting in Korea was a big challenge and I felt anxious, but today I was able to do it like this." “I’m really happy to be able to meet my fans in person. I will continue to show you a great side,” he said.
Through the fan ticket sales that closed during the live broadcast, Jelly Danka, Lim Seo-won, Oh Yoon-ah, and Jin Hyun-joo confirmed their final debut and were selected as members of Eunice. Oh Yoon-ah shed tears, saying, "I started with 82 people, but I didn't know I would debut," and Lim Seo-won said, "I dreamed of becoming an idol, but I didn't know I would actually become an idol. Thank you to everyone who voted. Thank you for my new journey. “I hope you’ll join us,” he said, asking for support for his new journey as an idol.
At the end of the broadcast, new news was revealed as a surprise. Announced the start of ‘Universe League’, season 2 of ‘Universe Ticket’. With the exciting 'Coming Soon' video released, curiosity about what kind of story will unfold in 'Universe League' amplified.
The eight members who debuted as the final members are scheduled to work under F&F Entertainment, the co-producer of 'Universe Ticket', for two years and six months. Afterwards, a two-year extension contract is possible upon agreement.
