Strongest K-pop Survival Ep 05 (Re-cap)
President Jang’s announcement of M2 Junior had set a frenzy in the agency. Team Leader Han’s displease and frustration is evident as she eventually agreed to train this new ‘Junior’ group for 3 months, on the condition that if one of them fails to make the cut, Woo Hyun and the original M2 members will stay, and the graduation rule will be lifted. President Jang agreed, and the 3 members selected from the first auditions barged into the room, infuriated with the new announcement. Team Leader Han sent them out by saying that if they have the talents, there shouldn’t be any problems. Upset, the members left the room, with Hyun Seung muttering under his breath that whether it’s only 4 or 400 competitors, he’d rise above all of them.
Meanwhile dream chasers have uploaded various videos in hopes of becoming part of M2, and votes were underway. Woo Hyun sigh as he looked at some of the videos, stating that this had led to Tom, Dick or Harry to try their chance. Team Leader Han entered his room and told him to hold on for 3 more months to stay in M2. Angered that his career is put on place due to incompetent newbies, Woo Hyun said he’d leave M2 and left the house.
On the other side, Seung Yeon had applied for the auditions by uploading both Ji Woo and her videos without informing Ji Woo first. Seung Yeon then proceed to encourage Ji Woo by saying that it’s going to be fine as it’s a blind audition, and showed Ji Woo her audition video. Shocked, he asked what is she doing, auditioning for a male group, when Seung Yeon said that she is merely seeking recognition from President Jang and has no interest in M2 what-so-ever.
On the day of the auditions, the 50 hopefuls entered as the 4 from the first auditions watch on the balcony of their dormitories. The auditions are split into a professional’s evaluation and the final blind auditions, and the first one further split into two segments, the singing and dancing evaluations. Ji Woo and Seung Yeon passed the two without much problems, with Seung Yeon leading Ji Woo, holding his hand as encouragement. Finally at the blind auditions, Ji Woo managed to showcased his capabilities behind the white canvas, as did Seung Yeon with her remake of Beethoven to give it a modern pop twist.
In the end, the 4 chosen were Jae Ah, Ki Bum (?), Ji Woo, and Seung Yeon, who had the highest votes out of the 4. As the blinds were removed, Woo Hyun had a shock that the rapping Beethoven is no other than the punk, while President Jang too was shocked. It turns out that Seung Yeon is his neice, and he immediately ask her to go home. In the end, Seung Yeon manage to convince his uncle that if she makes it to the top 4, he will debut her, otherwise she would return to her music school in London. Team Leader Han played a part in Seung Yeon’s admittance into M2 Junior by stating that another removal of a candidate will raise suspicions about the management. However, it does seems that Team Leader Han has other motives to Seung Yeon’s approval.
The next day, Woo Hyun has an autograph session at a mall as he showed his idol capabilities and charms to the line of fangirls, smiling and winking at them while signing the papers. At the same mall, Ji Woo had forced Seung Yeon to try on various male clothings, including male underwear by stating that since she has to stay in the dormitories as a male. After the trip, Ji Woo asked her if she wants to get a new phone, since hers was taken by Woo Hyun. Seung Yeon said that there was no need, since she’s going to get her phone back with force, even if Woo Hyun’s her senior.
At that moment, Woo Hyun turned up, and told her haughtily to try it. Immediately, Seung Yeon and Ji Woo bowed, and Seung Yeon told him the security password so that he could check her photos to confirm that she really didn’t take his photos. However, upon opening the photos folder, the first pictures were of her in female clothes, resulting in him thinking that she’s a pervert. Once again, Woo Hyun confiscated the phone, daring Seung Yeon to take the phone back with force.
As the two fought, he pushed Seung Yeon a tad too hard, and it caused a commotion as people saw Woo Hyun. Immediately, Woo Hyun put on his smiley face as he bend down to help Seung Yeon with the fallen bags, as the two exchanged further insults under their breaths. Ji Woo said that at least he didn’t see through her identity, resulting in her shouts of frustration that with those male underwear, it’d be even weirder if Woo Hyun had thought that she is a girl.
The 4 had moved into the dorms, and the candidates of both auditions exchanged threats of displeasure. As Ki Bum (?) moved to Hyun Seung’s room, Tae Kwon decided to eavesdrop outside the room, wondering if the two would be killing each other off. Seung Yeon turned up to ask where the rag is, and with Tae Kwon’s highly sensitive and competitive mind, he flipped her off by telling her the rag will turn up wherever it wants to, leaving Seung Yeon to look on in disbelief.
The new schedule that had them training from 6 in the morning to wee hours of 2am had been pasted into the dorm. President Jang shook his head at the inhumane schedule, as Team Leader Han hinted that this is the only way to train them up to standards within 3 months, because that’s the time he had given her. At the dorm, Ki Bum walked out half naked after a shower, and Seung Yeon who was right beside him evaded her eyes immediately. Ji Woo who had not expected him to be half-naked, let out a shout of embarrassment, and Tae Kwon looked on confused about their exaggerated behaviour since they’re all men.
The next day, M2 Junior was seen doing all sorts of activities, from the morning jog to start the day, before a series of singing, dancing and gym practices. Meanwhile, Woo Hyun had fallen ill due to continuous schedules, and Team Leader Han had turned up in his house telling him that at the very least he have to complete the schedules with signed contracts, and then he could take a break. Woo Hyun, having had enough, walked into President Jang’s room to tell him that he’d only do all contracted activities, and asked him to cancel all other useless activities, or he’d fly overseas and cut off all contact.
On his way out, he met with M2 Junior members, who were heading to the boxing ring. Having to relief stress, he turned up, telling them that he is the special instructor for the day, and with boxing, he’d teach them the important steps required for dancing and the confidence required for performing on a stage. He then called them up one by one in a match, asking them to win him with the confidence to strike. At Ji Woo’s turn, he had given him a pre-chance to strike, telling him that a man without confidence is incompetent. However, both his strikes missed and Woo Hyun KO’ed him in one shot, infuriating Seung Yeon. Ultimately, Seung Yeon did manage to KO Woo Hyun, but her victory was short-lived.
In the end, her not-too-hard punch had Woo Hyun spotting a black eye. Knowing that she have to clean up the mess she created, she visited Woo Hyun with a bunch of eggs and asked for forgiveness. Woo Hyun ignored her and ordered his manager to call the lawyer, but Seung Yeon in a desperate attempt to continue her stay in M2 Junior, told him that she would do whatever it takes to get forgiveness. Woo Hyun returned her the phone, but told her that it’s just the start of hell for her, as she would have to be his slave till the black-eye fades.

Immediately, Woo Hyun called for his manager to get the security, only for the manager to walk in and see Woo Hyun with his pants stripped down with Seung Yeon in a suspicious position. Assuming that they were doing something, he went out of the toilet, not before throwing the sentence ‘I’d keep watch, you just do what you need to do’. Taking the chance when Woo Hyun bend down to pick up his pants, Seung Yeon took off, Woo Hyun close on her heels after that. Even though Seung Yeon told him that she didn’t actually take any photos, Woo Hyun was not going to take the chance of ‘believing a pervert’s words’. At the end, Woo Hyun managed to get Seung Yeon’s phone after a long chase, only to find the phone locked and Seung Yeon long gone.
