On Friday, July 25, Mnet’s reality survival show, Boys 2 Planet, released its third and fourth episodes, continuing the excitement from the initial episodes where contestants from Planet K and C showcased their star-level tests. The latest episodes introduced the second mission: the Signal Song Test, a pivotal moment in the competition that determines the fate of the trainees.
