I desperately want to win on the peninsula

On July 3, at 11 p.m., several girls were sitting in the living room of an apartment in Cheongdam-dong, waiting for the broadcast of "SMTM".

"It's true~ Who's on the show? Why are you suddenly watching hip-hop shows?" Zhang Chengyan's restless hands twirled the girl's hair, teasing her with a whiny tone.

"None of your business!" Faced with Zhang Chengyan's obvious question, Cui Youzhen puffed out her cheeks angrily, mimicking a hamster, and slapped away the mischievous hands. She turned her head away, ignoring her, and blinked as she watched TV intently.

"Hehehe... Of course it has nothing to do with me... hehehe." Zhang Chengyan raised an eyebrow, leaned close to Cui Youzhen's neck and hair, and took a deep breath like a pervert, giving her a thrilling feeling of being violated in front of her husband, and then made a sound of enjoyment.

Cool!

The iron fist of justice!

Choi Yoo-jin looked down at Jang Seung-yeon, who was crouching down clutching his stomach, with an expression that resembled looking at trash. Still shaken, she clenched her fists and quickly hid to the side, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms.

"The show has started."

Oh Seung-hee, who had remained indifferent to the members' playful antics, finally spoke up.

Perhaps it was out of habit, but both her eyes and tone of voice were very calm.

"Here you are! Seung-hee, move over a bit." Choi Yoo-jin sat down close to Oh Seung-hee in the corner.

After a brief "GG" moment, the first thing you see is the audition footage, followed by the two contestants who advanced from the previous episode but were not announced.

Song Minhao and Yu Taiyun.

One is the secret to the popularity of "SMTM" before its premiere, and the other is the older brother of producer ZICO, who is now an artist under Doublekick Entertainment, the agency of rapper.

"Why are they still holding auditions for the second episode?"

"It was probably an effect deliberately created for the show."

"Don't worry, Kyo's first round of auditions has already aired and he's advanced." Zhang Chengyan clutched his stomach and sat back down on the sofa, explaining to Cui Youzhen while taking a deep breath.

"..." Choi Yoo-jin glanced at Oh Seung-hee while holding her arm, but didn't reply. Instead, she tightened her grip on her arm.

In fact, the reason why Lin Qianqiao was able to gain popularity in the first episode was partly due to the fact that the production team edited the traffic code too in a fragmented way. The amount of discussion about Song Minhao in the early stages was not as high as that about Lin Qianqiao.

Perhaps as compensation or to create a key character, the second episode opens with Song Min-ho.

After that, both of them easily advanced through the preliminary rounds.

Enter the 60 Fire Pit Challenge.

The three of them began to immerse themselves in the television program, watching it intently.

With the first contestant taking the stage, the program entered the second round of elimination matches.

"This One seems pretty good, and he's good-looking too. Could he be a formidable rival to Kyo?"

"Chaginna! Zhang Chengyan, can you please stop talking?"

"Arasso~ Arasso~"

As contestants took turns performing, the continuous stream of performances and mentor evaluations seemed to cause visual fatigue, so the camera switched to interviews.

Basick's screen time increased, starting with his backstory. He debuted as part of a hip-hop group, but after getting married and having children, he had to shoulder the burden of his family and find a stable job. From then on, he gradually gave up hip-hop.

Then he was asked why he participated in the show.

He said, "When I saw my old friends looking so cool on stage, I was envious. But I couldn't give up my passion for hip-hop and wanted to start over, so I came back."

The screen then began showing him interacting with his wife and children; the sudden, heartwarming scene caught everyone off guard.

Next, shots of some popular contestants began to appear on the screen.

When the camera switched to a particular player, the CLC living room suddenly fell silent, but the expressions of the three people on the sofa were all different.

One of them looked puzzled, as if he wanted to laugh but then stopped.

One of them had a calm, expressionless face.

One of them had its mouth smacking and looked a bit chubby.

Of course, this shot was fleeting, but it showed that his situation was not good. Several rappers turned around from time to time to stare at him with scrutinizing and hostile eyes, which was clearly captured by the production team.

At the same time, some interviews with underground rappers began to be broadcast, most of which attacked the idol rapper's identity. Some of them were contemptuous, sarcastic, or cynical.

The intention was probably to create a sense of antagonism between different factions, which might have been very entertaining and atmospheric for the audience.

But Choi Yoo-jin doesn't think so...

As the show's plot unfolds, contestants of all types, from those with exceptional skills to those with high popularity, begin to appear one by one, each eliciting cheers from the waiting room as they take the stage.

Lil boy took the stage; he had previously collaborated on a song with SISTAR's Soyou.

And this song, I estimate, has been heard by nearly half of the people on the peninsula.

He was the rapper for the 14 anthem "SOME".

So when he stepped onto the stage, not only did the contestants in the waiting room cheer, but even the mentors were amazed. Jay Park even regarded him as a champion candidate and wanted to recruit him.

Lil Boi's performance lived up to expectations, easily securing an All Pass with a few skillful touches.

Following them, Woo Tae-woon and Han Hae took to the stage one after another.

As time went by, the broadcast of SMTM came to an end.

Accompanied by the voiceover saying "Anyway, the champion is Song Minho," Song Minho, the show's key to attracting viewers, finally took the stage.

Unsurprisingly, his mentors admired him greatly, and the interview footage also praised him highly.

These are the kinds of super popular contestants that every mentor wants to recruit.

While other contestants came on stage with a degree of scrutiny and questioning, Song Min-ho's performance was genuinely harmonious, with mentors and contestants acting like family. If you added a touch of romance, it would even resemble a dating show.

Before his performance, Song Min-ho did a warm-up exercise in a very relaxed manner, which showed that he was really relaxed.

Therefore, ALLPASS was easily obtained.

Next, the hip-hop master appeared. He was huge, wore black-rimmed glasses, and walked with a swaying gait. You could tell he really had a powerful presence.

SAN E even joked: Should I kneel down to listen?

P-Type didn't think this was a joke. He remained silent with a dark expression and chose to start performing immediately.

As the old-school boombap beat started, his flow was full of swag. He dissed the show, the contestants, the idols, and everything else he could diss. Coupled with his arrogant expression, he really had a lot of style.

The young fan in the waiting room shouted and applauded wildly for this master.

Then...

This rapper forgot the lyrics halfway through his rap!

The face gradually turned extremely dark, and it began blinking frantically, swallowing hard, trying to recall the lyrics, and desperately dodging the close-up camera.

Fortunately, the mentors are not only understanding but also very savvy in interpersonal relationships.

If he fails all the time, he will be eliminated.

Then the master slowly disappeared into the sea of ​​fire.

Judging from his large size, I wonder if the production team is roasting him like a pig...

This elimination instantly sparked a frenzy of discussion within the hip-hop community, with many flocking to the SMTM website to express their condolences, given the legendary status of this master.

If there's absolutely no reaction, then really...

However, it's quite funny that CL's rap teacher was eliminated in the second round.

I wonder if CL will achieve a better ranking than her teacher in "SMTM". It's something to look forward to.

If the production team has the ability to invite them.
