‘RU Next’, today (14th), the first dropout will appear

'RU Next?' The results of the fierce competition for survival are revealed to avoid the elimination of the trainees.

In episode 3 of JTBC's 'RU Next?', which airs at 8:50 pm on the evening of the 14th, the rebellion of mid-level and low-level trainees toward the high level begins.

In 'RU Next?', 22 trainees from Belifrap appear, showing off their distinct personalities and charms.

Following the first round 'Tryout', which confirmed the potential of the trainees, the second round 'Death Match' is underway. On this day's broadcast, the first dropout will appear. Prior to this, in the preview video for the 3rd episode, the trainees' candid responses such as "The best surprise in the history of survival programs" and "I didn't know it was this cruel," along with the sharper evaluations of the coaches continued, adding to the curiosity.

Following Le Seraphim's "FEARLESS," which garnered a lot of attention last week, the trainees compete against each other with "Given-Taken" by ENHYPEN, a senior artist at Hive Labels, and "Attention" by New Jeans. Attention is focusing on how the trainees will perform ‘Given-Taken’, which has a powerful yet energetic performance.

The 2nd round 'Death Match' is a composition in which two units face each other in the same song, giving a different kind of fun. After the two units perform the first and second verses respectively, they decorate the stage together in the second half of the song. In the process of forming a team in a short time, it is well-received as a stage that shows the strong chemistry of the trainees as well as confirming various member combinations.

'RU Next?' is leading the rise in popularity with various unique contents as well as the main broadcast. In addition to the first round behind-the-scenes and expressive audition videos, their own content, which is off-air, is also continuously uploaded to the official SNS, presenting the human side and colorful charm of off-stage trainees.

'RU Next?', co-produced by Belif Lab, Studio Jam, and Mushroom Company, can be viewed every Friday at 8:50 pm on JTBC and other Hive Labels YouTube channels other than Abema in Japan. In Korea, you can watch it again through Netflix and Wave. On the 7th, the second global vote to determine the members of the Hive Next girl group began through Weverse, a global fan community platform, and Toss, a mobile financial app.
