In "UNIVERSE TICKET" middle class showdown, Nana, Ku Gyorion, and Pe Halam advanced, while others faced elimination.

In the "UNIVERSE TICKET" middle class showdown, Nana (PRIKIL), Ku Gyorion, and Pe Halam were promoted, getting closer to their debut group. The 5th episode of the SBS Global Audition program "UNIVERSE TICKET," broadcast in Korea on the 13th, depicted the level test and competition for the first stage to advance to the Prism class. The participants' level was determined by how perfectly they performed the 2nd signal song "Ticket To You." In particular, Pan Yuna and Elysia received good evaluations from Unicorn (Universe Icon) Yuna and Kim Sejeong. The strongest performer, Im Sowon, was once again recognized and received praise from Yuna for being "sparkling." However, Gabi, who competed in the level test with Im Sowon, received a disappointing evaluation and had to be satisfied with the "middle" level. The participants, divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, performed on stage according to their level. In the middle class, they battled by performing Jewelry's "Super Star" arranged by the producers VENDORS and BoA's "Girls On Top" arranged by PAPERMAKER. Koto, who was in charge of the "killing part" of "Super Star," showed her hardworking side by writing pronunciation in her notebook and practicing until the early morning of the day of the parting. Kim Sejeong confirmed her growth by saying, "Koto-san was assigned more parts than I thought. I was impressed to see her improved skills." Kwon Che-won, who performed a performance that moved Kim Sejeong and Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon to tears, was praised for her passion and charisma. The powerful singing and dancing of BoA's "Girls On Top" were performed by the team consisting of Gabi, Jayla, Nana, Lee Sonu, Ku Gyorion, Pe Halam, and Chung Jin-young. With so many talented members, there was fierce competition within the group for parts. Although Gabi was initially chosen for the "killing part," it was later changed to Nana. Yuna admired the team's perfect live performance and said, "I haven't seen the top class yet, but I think this team is the best. It was a performance that was like an active duty soldier." Hyoyeon evaluated, "The team was perfect, but Nana stood out. She had more charisma than I expected." Kim Sejeong and Lian praised, "Gyorion-san firmly balanced the vocals in the middle. She is good at controlling dynamics." "Halam-san didn't have many parts in the first half, but she shone in the dance break part. She was powerful." Furthermore, Gabi, who earnestly wanted the "killing part," faced a crisis when her part was suddenly changed during the recording, causing her to make frequent mistakes in the choreography and be selected as a candidate for elimination within the team. However, she showed outstanding teamwork with the other participants on the stage of the competition. The winner was the "Girls On Top" team. As the promoted members of the winning team, Nana, Ku Gyorion, and Pe Halam were chosen, and as the eliminated members of the losing team, Nako, Che Herin, and Kwon Che-won were chosen. Che Herin, who ultimately had to be eliminated, conveyed a final message, saying, "I think 'UNIVERSE TICKET' has been a stepping stone for me to become an idol. I am grateful." Nako said, "I was happy to be able to show my stage to all the fans," and Kwon Che-won expressed his thoughts, saying, "I am grateful for the good experience and the kind words. I have learned and felt a lot. I will grow up to be cooler." The "UNIVERSE TICKET" Signal Song Part.2 "Ticket To You," which was released on various music distribution sites at 6 p.m. on the 16th, revealed the practice process on this day.
