Debuted in August 2020 on the survival audition program "YG Treasure Box" and swept the Rookie of the Year award, TREASURE is a global boy group. Their latest song "BONA BONA -JP Ver.-" has received a great response, and they are about to hold a fan meeting at Tokyo Dome tomorrow. Their variety show "Trebala ~TREASURE's Variety School~" continues with various classic Japanese variety game segments, learning the "basics" of Japanese variety through hands-on experience. The members are divided into the Red Team (Che Hyunsuk, Yoshi, Asahi, Doyoung, Park Jeongwoo) and the Blue Team (Jihoon, Junkyu, Yun Jaehyuk, Haruto, So Junghwan) for game battles. In the previous episode, they challenged classic games like "Hit and Cover Rock-Paper-Scissors" and "What's Inside the Box?" and showcased their comedic timing and reactions, revealing new sides of themselves. In the second episode airing tonight, they will take on the challenging game "Loud Headphone Whisper Challenge." Can they accurately relay what the person in front said by only moving their lips while loud music plays through the headphones? The Red Team struggles from the start, as the word Asahi started with takes a drastic turn before reaching Yoshi, while the Blue Team, who seemed to have a good start with Haruto, faces an unexpected situation with Yun Jaehyuk. There is also a dance battle called "Memorize the Dance in One Try!!" that is perfect for TREASURE, who are skilled in dancing. Doyoung represents the Red Team, and Haruto represents the Blue Team. What will be the result of their battle, both expressing confidence in their dancing skills? Which team will earn the most points after completing all the games? Did they receive a luxurious reward? Additionally, this week, TREASURE will deliver a special stage performance of the popular song "JIKJIN" from their Japan 1st Mini Album "THE SECOND STEP: CHAPTER ONE," released in 2022.
