Boys 2 Planet episodes 5-6 recap and highlights: Songs performed, current rankings, & more

On Thursday and Friday, July 31 and August 1, the two new episodes of Boys 2 Planet, the reality K-pop survival show, were released online. For those who aren't aware, Boys 2 Planet is the second season sequel of Mnet's 2023 show, Boys Planet.

This year, the show aimed to bring two sections to the survival show, Planet K and Planet C, for Korean and Chinese trainees. While the resultant group of the show was initially planned to be a twin project where winners of Planet K and Planet C would debut under the same project group, with both separate and collaborative releases with their comebacks.

However, halfway through the show, Mnet changed the structure and decided that the resultant group would combine both Planet K and Planet C, and would have only one set of winners. The recent two episodes mark the first episode of Planet K and Planet C's collision, and they had to participate in their next mission, Class Battle.

Additionally, the top eight trainees, combining both Planet K and C, as of July 31, were also revealed. Here are the top eight trainees from Boys 2 Planet, as informed through the Interim Rankings:

1. LEE SANG-WON
2. ZHOU ANXIN
3. CHUEI LIYU
4. CHUNG SANG-HYEON
5. LEE LEO
6. KIM JUN-SEO
7. YOO KANG-MIN
8. MASATO

The following article will explain more about what unfolded during the latest two episodes of the show, Boys 2 Planet.
