The show begins with the Grand Audition stage. The contestants are split into self-arranged groups, similarly to last season. This time, however, the contestants are graded individually. They are judged based on three criteria—vocals, dance, and visual—and are given a grade for each category The final grade is determined when the contestant receives two or three of the same grades, or to be determined by the producers BamBam and The8 if all three grades are different.

In the second half of episode 2, the contestants are introduced to the Theme Song Mission. The contestants are to perform the theme song "Skyline", and are judged based on one of the previous three criteria of their choice. Those who picked the 'Vocal' position had to sing through a headset, while those who chose the 'Visual' position had a camera focused on their facial expressions.

In the First Public Stage, the contestants are split into ten groups of six, with a pair of groups competing with each other. Within the team, the contestant with the highest vote will also be crowned the MVP.

The Centers for five of the teams were chosen from Class A by the trainees in Class B, C and F. The other five centers were chosen by each of the Class A members from Class B, C and F. The Center that the Class A trainee chose was the Center for their rival team. The choice of the songs were made based on the ranking of the contestants. Each center has to pick a different song. The other trainees chose in order of their class and ranking within their class.

After all the rounds, it was announced that all members of the winning team would get an added 1000 voting points as benefit. The MVPs of the winning team each got an additional 2000 points as benefit and Omar from team 'A' was determined as the MVP of MVPs and received an additional 3000 points as benefit. The MVPs of all ten teams are said to perform the theme song at "Thailand's Biggest Music Festival"

At the end of the fourth episode, trainees had a Q&A session withLisa from Blackpink.

Episode 5 was a sports day event. The trainees formed into various teams according to their dorm rooms and participated in various games.

The number of trainees said to remain after the first eliminations were 35. There were ranges of ranking set up at different floors of the building. The trainees could choose to go up to one floor and check if their ranking was at that location. If they are, they had letter stating their rank in that range. If not, trainees had to await their ranking till all trainees completed this process. The results of the trainees that were remaining were announced upon completion of this process.

The remaining 35 trainees competed in 7 groups that focused on one of the 3 positions: Dance (3 groups), Vocal (3 groups) and Original (1 group). Each performance featured a guest performer. The on-site voting this week had a different approach where the on-site audience could vote for all trainees in the group if they wished to instead of the usual singular vote. However they could only vote once per trainee. As per usual, the trainee with the highest vote was the MVP and the team with the most on-site votes were the MVP team.

After all the rounds, it was announced that all members of the 'MVP Team' would get an added 10000 voting points as benefit. The MVPs of each team each got 10000 points as benefit each and Xiong from team 'When We Disco' was determined as the MVP of MVPs and received an additional 10000 points as benefit.

The number of trainees after this elimination round is 21. These are the trainees that are part of the final episode- 'Debut Night: Live'. There was a separate live stream that showcased the eliminations of the contestants that did not make it through. In this episode, the remaining 21 contestant found their rankings. There were envelops, one with each trainees ranking, placed in a room. The trainees went and picked up an envelop, either their own or another. Once everyone had picked an envelop, the trainees took turns in opening the envelop and revealing the rankings. After the ranking announcement, the song selection for the final round took place. There will be three teams of seven, and the centers were chosen through a fan vote. The first, second and third place and thus the centers of the three songs were Hu Yetao, Thi-o and Dorn.
