4. Chiquita
Maknae Chiquita covered “Traitor” by Olivia Rodrigo in the sixth episode. Once again, Yang Hyun Suk was amazed at just how talented she was for her age, saying, “When I first saw Chiquita, I was really surprised. How can a 13-year old be like this?” He added that she was likely always meant to be this good.
She was born with this amazing talent.

5. Ruka
Japanese member Ruka stood out for being the closest to YG Entertainment‘s roots as a company with hip hop icons. As one of the main rappers, she showed this with her smooth flow.
Ruka is the one with the most hip hop element out of the seven members.
— Yang Hyun Suk
He added after her performance of “Astronaut in the Ocean” and “MTBD” that she was “very charismatic when dancing and when rapping, too” and that she was “just cool the way [she is].”
