Global Band Survival 'Stillheart Club' Teases First Elimination, Heightening Tension to the Max

Mnet's global band-making survival show 'Stillheart Club' is set to raise viewer tension to its peak by hinting at the show's first elimination.

The third episode, airing today (4th) at 10 PM, will showcase the fierce competition of the 'Mega Band Mission' round 2, followed by the unveiling of the third challenge, the 'Dual Stage Battle.' As the survival enters its critical phase, the on-stage competition is expected to intensify.

A preview released prior to the broadcast opens with director Jung Yong-hwa's declaration of a 'level readjustment.' A rigorous competition for solo parts within each position will unfold as the level readjustment mission kicks off in earnest to secure the top spots in the 'Mega Band' music video. A scene featuring a contestant confiding, "I wanted to hide, I felt lost," alongside the subtitle 'Day of Reckoning,' amplifies curiosity about the intense competition stage.

Subsequently, MC Moon Ga-young announces the commencement of a new round, declaring, "We will now begin the third challenge, the 'Dual Stage Battle.'" This mission is a 'Team vs. Team' survival, employing a harsh rule where only the winning team can all survive. Upon Moon Ga-young's words, "The first elimination will occur," the contestants' faces show a mixture of tension and anxiety, with aspiring musicians reacting nervously, stating, "The matchups are truly important."

Notably, an 'Avengers' team composition drew significant attention, centered around K-Ten (guitar), who left a strong impression in the first mission. This team includes Ha Ki-wah (drums), Masha (bass), Lee Yun-chan (vocals), and Yoon Young-jun (keyboard). When director Lee Jang-won asked if they were satisfied with their team, K-Ten confidently replied, "We are the best team currently in existence," heating up the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, 'Stillheart Club' has already proven its immense popularity by surpassing 60 million cumulative video views across social media (combining YouTube long-form and shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok) in just two episodes. Performance clips and band play videos of the contestants have dominated real-time feeds on various platforms, and related keywords have ranked high in X (formerly Twitter) real-time trends, establishing a new trend for Mnet's band variety shows.

Who will defend their stage, and who will become the first to be eliminated? The third episode of the global band-making survival show 'Stillheart Club,' which foreshadows an even fiercer competition, airs today (4th) at 10 PM on Mnet.

Netizens are expressing anticipation for the upcoming intense competition, commenting, "The real game is about to begin," "I'm already nervous," and "I'm so curious to see which team will be eliminated."
