In the second episode of Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience, the band confronts the harsh reality of their participation in the world’s toughest boyband boot camp. Following a disappointing assessment by Hee Jun Yoon, head of training and casting, the boys discuss the implications and the improvements they need to make.
Band member James faces a series of medical issues, including a bad knee and tonsillitis, adding to the challenges they already face. Amidst intense vocal training and choreography sessions, the band meets K-Pop legend Shindong from Super Junior, who presents them with a unique dance challenge at the Lotte Tower, the fifth tallest building in the world. Will they dare to step out onto the infamous Sky Walk Bridge?
The K-Pop Cowboy makes a return appearance, treating the boys to a fun day out at Seoul’s largest theme park. This week’s song, Solar, is set to be performed at the School of Performing Arts in Seoul, marking the band’s first live performance in front of an audience of 500 students. However, one of the band members is absent. Can the remaining four pull together and deliver a successful performance?
Within 24 hours, the boys find themselves facing Hee Jun Yoon again as she evaluates their school performance. Have they managed to raise their game and secure her approval?
