In the latest episode, the trainees take their third position evaluation. A position evaluation is when the trainees determine what their specialty in the group is. They choose between vocal, dance, or rap, and are tested on it.

First to be revealed is the stage of those who chose vocals as their position. The trainees sing their hearts out and wow the crowd. Kim Joo Na and Yoo Yeon Jung’s performance of Tashannie’s “Day by Day” was especially a crowd favorite. Though they receive criticism from trainers beforehand that they “don’t act like a team,” they show off major chemistry during the performance.

Kang Si Ra, who sings “My Best,” is exceptionally good as she perfectly reaches the high note climax. Kim Se Jung, who performs Zion. T’s “Yanghwa BRDG,” touches the hearts of viewers with her stable yet emotional voice. In the end, she wins first place in the vocal position evaluation, as well as an extra 100,000 votes as an award.

The rap and dance evaluation of the trainees will be revealed next week. “Produce 101” airs every Friday at 11 p.m KST.
