The episode opened with a powerful performance from Rain himself and Ciipher, the boy group he produced, of his viral hit “GANG.”
The first performer to compete was Kim Young Heum, who put his own spin on “Instead of Saying Goodbye.” Jo Kwon went next with “Bad Guy” and set up his performance like a whole musical number, winning the round against Kim Young Heum. Performing third was N.Flying’s Yoo Hwe Seung, who sang “How to Avoid the Sun.” At the end, Rain stood up to applaud his performance, but Jo Kwon ended up winning this round as well. Performing fourth was Changmin with “Rainism,” which he reinterpreted with a band and a funky vibe. As a result, he was able to defeat Jo Kwon and win the round. Next to perform was Jamie, who sang “Love Song” and showed her emotional range, but was unable to win against Changmin.
