Mnet's global band-making survival show, 'Still 100 Club,' has unveiled key viewing points for the latter half of the competition as the semi-finals draw near, heightening anticipation.

With the 20 semi-finalists confirmed after the fourth round's 'Band Unit Battle,' the production team highlighted 'Debut Team Silhouette,' 'Full-Fledged Original Music Missions,' and 'Team Chemistry and Leadership' as crucial elements to watch.

# Debut Team's Outline Takes Shape! Who Will Be the Final Members?

While initial episodes showcased distinct individual skills and personalities, the contestants have shown remarkable growth in their attitudes and focus towards teamwork. The production team noted, "Early on, participants focused on showcasing their individual strengths, but now, there's a clear trend of acknowledging weaknesses and complementing each other within the team. They are maturing not only in skill but also as 'band members' in terms of teamwork and communication."

The 20 semi-finalists, including Lee Yoon-chan's team 'Geot-chok-sok-ba,' who secured first place in the fourth round, are a formidable group with both talent and star quality, creating a close competition where any member could potentially debut. The semi-final stage is expected to be a turning point, solidifying the outline of the debut team.

# Entering 'Original Music Missions' – The Moment the 'True Band' Identity Emerges

A significant shift in the latter half is the move beyond cover performances to original music creation. In the semi-final mission, the 'Topline Battle,' contestants must choose one of four toplines created by artists like Lee Won-seok of Daybreak and Jung Yong-hwa of CNBLUE, and then arrange and produce the entire stage.

The production team emphasized, "Don't miss the moment when the teams' unique sounds are fully realized for the first time. Through these original missions, the bands' individuality and musical identity will clearly emerge."

# Team Chemistry and Psychological Warfare – Leadership Will Decide the Winner

Having worked through multiple missions together, the aspiring musicians now understand each other's skills, musical preferences, and working styles. The production team pointed out, "As we move into the latter half, the choice of 'who to team up with' becomes increasingly critical," naming team chemistry and psychological games as key viewing points.

In particular, the role of the front person has become more crucial. "The front person isn't just someone who sings well, but someone who sets the team's direction, maximizes each member's charm, resolves conflicts quickly, and makes decisions," the team explained. "Differences in leadership and judgment will directly impact the stage's completeness."

Finally, the production team defined the latter half as "the process of becoming a true band," stating, "It will clearly show how much the aspiring musicians have grown and how genuinely they support each other through music." The semi-final live broadcast will air on Tuesday, the 16th, at 10 PM on Mnet's 'Still 100 Club.'

Korean netizens are expressing excitement, commenting things like, "The real competition starts now, can't wait!", "Original music missions? This is going to be so good!", and "I really hope my favorite team makes it to debut."
