Sep 04, 2021

On the September 4 episode of SBS’s “LOUD,” the final live broadcast battle took place.

For the past few episodes, the “LOUD” contestants, who have been divided into the trainee team at P Nation and the trainee team at JYP Entertainment, have been competing in agency vs. agency battles that are broadcast live. In each “battle,” the two agencies have three match-ups and must win two out of three. After each battle, one trainee from each agency will be eliminated, but the losing team will also have their lowest-ranked trainee eliminated as well.

Super agent Lee Seung Gi explained that for the September 4 battle, the trainee teams would put on two performances as usual but would be joined by their agency seniors for a special collaboration for their third performance. Unlike past rounds, all the trainees would perform and the winning team would be decided through team votes.

The first match-up was a “fan recommendation” mission, and P Nation’s team chose X1’s “MOVE” while JYP Entertainment’s team chose DAY6’s “Love Me or Leave Me.”

The second match-up was a “retro K-pop” mission, where trainees competed with songs from the 1980s and 1990s. JYP’s team chose Hyun Jin Young’s “You in My Vague Memories” while P Nation’s team chose Song Gol Mae’s “A Chance Encounter.”

For the third match-up, Stray Kids’ 3RACHA (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han) joined the JYP team to perform “Back Door,” while HyunA joined the P Nation team to perform “I’m Not Cool.”

After P Nation took the win for the past two battles, the final battle was won by the JYP team. From JYP’s team, Zo Doo Hyun was eliminated, and from P Nation’s team, Daniel Jikal was eliminated. As the losing team, P Nation’s Jang Hyun Soo was also a candidate for elimination due to his low ranking. However, PSY chose to use his wild card to save Jang Hyun Soo, settling the final debut lineups for both agencies.
