A fierce psychological battle unfolded between Jang Kyung-ho and Cha Woong-ki, who were once on the same team.
On the 20th, the SBS global boy group audition program 'Universe League' continued with the new song mission of Round 2 of the league.
The main members of Team Beat and Team Groove Bench are competing with 'Mamma Mia (MAMMA MIA (WHO WE ARE))', prepared by Team Beat's director El Capitan. While the youthful stage of Team Beat's main members was revealed earlier, Team Groove Bench prepared a mature stage to counter the youthful vibe.
Before the new song stage, Team Groove Bench showed a more determined look than ever, and especially Jang Kyung-ho expressed, "I am very eager. There is old affection. I think the competition is a competition, and I have no plans for our team to lose today."
Cha Woong-ki from Team Beat's 'Mamma Mia' and Jang Kyung-ho from Team Groove Bench were once members of TOO and worked together. During this 'Universe League', Jang Kyung-ho, who showed subtle psychological warfare with Cha Woong-ki, expressed that "the Pandora's box has been opened," and confessed, "When I was with Woong-ki in the team, it was all good, there were no bad things."
He continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Woong-ki left the team in the middle, but it was a completely internal company matter, so it wasn't shared internally. I found out that Woong-ki was coming to 'Universe League' when I got here. I realized it when I came to the practice room, and every time I went to the bathroom, our eyes met. We said 'oh' to each other, but then he passed by."
Jang Kyung-ho said, "I ran into him again while practicing the title track, and out of joy, I greeted him first, saying, 'Woong-ki, is this your practice room?' but he replied, 'No, I'm not here,' and walked away. At that moment, I felt a bit of avoidance," and added, "I think Woong-ki also felt that we were going down different paths."
Jang Kyung-ho, who said, "I thought I had to accept reality more," expressed, "There was old affection, but I don't know why he is avoiding me. Is there a reason I haven't grasped yet, or is it just that he is immersed in 'Universe League' and feels he has to win more?" He passionately stated, "I want to fight."
