Kwon Hee-jun sheds tears again.
The third episode of SBS‘s ‘Universe League’, which will air on the 6th, will feature the 1st round mission stages for each team’s bench players.
According to the production team, the starting players have already performed the 1st round stages and the interim rankings have been revealed, and the bench players will step up to turn the tables. Team Rhythm Bench will perform NCT U‘s ‘Baggy Jeans’, Team Beat Bench will perform GOT7’s ‘Hard Carry’, and Team Groove Bench will perform BTOB‘s ‘Second Confession’.
Team Rhythm Bench will have Kwon Hee-jun as the leader and lead the members. However, since there were members from various countries, it is said that communication was not easy due to language barriers.
In addition, the performance on stage was below expectations, which made the team rhythm directors and regulars flustered. Since the team rhythm regulars took first place in the interim rankings, expectations were high for the team rhythm bench. As Ayumu and Aito made a series of mistakes, Team Groove Director Lee Chang-seop and Team Beat Director Yugyeom even smiled meaningfully.
After the results of the audience vote were revealed after the performance, Kwon Hee-jun burst into tears. He cried again after crying during the previous bench test. Kwon Hee-jun confessed, “To be honest, it was really hard. But I really, really prepared hard.”
At the leader’s tears, the members hug Kwon Hee-jun and say, “Hyung, you are the best leader.” People are curious about what kind of story they have.
The broadcast will be on the 6th at 11:20 p.m.
