Produce X 101 (Produce 101 Season 4 / 프로듀스 X 101)

The results are decided by National Producers' votes.

Produce X 101 will start the First Ranking Announcement.

1st to 60th on the rankings will survive.

61st to 99th on the rankings will be eliminated.

I wish it was me.

I'm nervous.

The trainees have received a total of 20,374,193 votes.

Isn't that almost half of the population in Korea?

I got goosebumps.

17th place. 7th place.

Sixth place.

Trainee Jung Jae Hoon.

The First Ranking Announcement of Produce X 101.

The first-place trainee is...

Kim Yo Han from Oui Entertainment.

National Producers, thank you for your interest.

Dear National Producer.

We will now be announcing the rankings in real-time!

Hello. It's nice to see you again.

National Producers cast their votes themselves,

and only 60 of 101 challengers...

have survived according to the result.

And you'll get to keep chasing your dream to debut as a global idol.

From this moment, everything will be reset...

including the total number of votes and the rankings...

that were given to each trainee at the First Ranking Announcement.

All the trainees will start over at the same point.

Of course, the 11th member of the debuting group...

will be selected according to the accumulated number of votes.

Thus, you have to do all your might for each evaluation.

You're all aware of it, right?

Yes. - Yes.

Trainee Kim Dong Bin, during Season Two,

From first to what rank did the trainees survive?

From 1st to 35th.

What do you think it will be like in this season?

From 1st...

to 30th will survive.

From 31st to 60th will be eliminated.

They're eliminating five more trainees in this season.

It felt like I was hammered in the head.

I was dazed.

I'm at the verge.

Like I'm standing at the end of a cliff.

I'll try even harder not to get eliminated.

The new evaluation will decide on your survival and elimination.

It's called the Position Evaluation.

During this evaluation,

you'll choose a position which you want to be in case you make a debut.

Depending on your position, you'll have to arrange a song,

write rap lyrics, or make choreography yourselves.

Trainee Kim Si Hoon in 18th place.

You performed the song that you wrote during the first evaluation.

Are you confident you'll prove your ability this time again?

I'd like to prove my choreography making skills this time.

In front of the other 59 trainees,

you just revealed your strategy.

It means I'm that confident.

I see.

Let me now reveal the song choices of each position.

First,

it's vocal.

Next is rap.

Dance.

Wait, there are four positions.

We have one more position this time.

It's X.

I wondered what X would be about for the Position Evaluation.

I thought, "It's X again."

I was sure there'd be something.

Any trainees...

who choose the new position of this season...

will have to sing and dance...

or rap and dance at the same time.

This is crazy.

It'd be better I avoid that position if I can.

It might be harder to focus on two positions at the same time.

As idol singers have higher potential these days,

a lot of them are skilled in various fields...

instead of sticking to either singing, rapping, or dancing.

And they're called all-rounders.

Reflecting the current trend, Produce X 101...

wishes to give you a chance to show your various abilities...

through this X position.

All the 60 trainees will be evaluated...

individually this time.

The audience will vote for each trainee...

whether they were good or bad.

1,000 National Producers will be on site for the voting.

Among the vocal, rap, and dance positions,

first-place winners of each song...

will be given...

100 times the number of votes they receive.

Trainees who place first in each position...

will be given...

100,000 benefit votes.

100,000 votes? - My goodness.

100,000 votes? Seriously?

This is crazy.

If you choose the new position,

you'll have to pull off two positions at the same time,

but you'll be given twice the benefit votes.

It was beyond my imagination.

It could take me straight to the top.

This evaluation is going to be about the X position.

First-place trainees in each song of the X position...

will be given 200 times the number of their votes.

A first-place trainee of the X position...

will be given a total of 200,000 benefit votes.

But there's one thing you must not forget about.

If you're rapping and dancing,

you must write rap lyrics and make choreography.

If you're singing and dancing,

you must arrange a song and make choreography.

In short, it's high risk, high return.

If you don't manage to do both in time,

you could end up with a worse result than focusing on one position.

Think wisely whether choosing this X position...

could be a benefit or a loss for you.

I hope you make a careful decision.

Let me explain...

how you'll choose a song from now on.

Once you enter the Path of Song Selection,

you'll see 11 cards with the songs written on each of them.

Choose the one you want,

and stand in front of the sign that has the same song written on it...

at the innermost side.

As you can see, you will have no idea...

what choices other trainees have made...

while you are waiting for your turn outside.

You cannot be in the same group just because you're close,

nor can you avoid certain members just because you want to.

A limited number of spots are open for each song.

Trainees in high place...

have a high chance to choose what they want.

But trainees in low place...

might not be able to choose the song they want...

or even the position they want.

We'll now begin the song selection for the Position Evaluation.

Trainee Kim Yo Han in first place, please come up front.

Tell me what position you want...

before you enter.

I'm torn between rap and vocal.

I see.

Please enter the Path of Song Selection.

Bye. - Good luck.

See you later.

I'm torn between the rap position and the vocal position.

I've shown how I rap during the "Boss" performance,

so I want to show more of it to National Producers.

But an idol singer has to be good at every position,

so I want to show them how I sing as well.

Trainee Kim Min Kyu in second place, please come up front.

People mostly see me as the hardworking Min Kyu,

but I think I have to show them how good I am...

to be able to make a debut.

I'm torn...

between "Me After You" and "To My Youth".

Oh my goodness.

Hurry here.

Well, I...

I wanted to sing a song that comforts...

and sympathizes with many people.

I'm surprised. I thought you were going to choose "Me After You".

I thought there would be too many competitive trainees.

Trainee Song Hyung Jun in third place.

Trainee Kim Woo Seok, go ahead.
