The latest episode of JYP Entertainment's survival program "Stray Kids" revealed a surprising twist as the trainees prepared for the final mission. Producer Park Jin Young brought back two of the eliminated trainees to give them one more chance to debut.

Although the "Stray Kids" members were reduced to seven, Park revealed at the end of the episode that he was bringing back two of the eliminated members. Felix and Lee Minho were revealed to be the ones given another chance. The former had just been eliminated in last week's episode while the latter was eliminated earlier in the program.

The seven remaining members were thrilled to have the two of them back following the announcement. Their re-inclusion in the competition will definitely make deciding who should be in the final lineup difficult, especially for the viewers.

But before the big news, Park talked to the two returning members separated and praised them for working so hard even after they were eliminated. He told them that he would like to give them one more shot at being able to debut. He expressed his desire to see all nine of them in the final mission before he decides on the permanent lineup.

Park did not leave out how worried he was for the two trainees, however, as he shared that this second chance could lead to an opportunity or they might wind up disappointed again.

K-Pop fans are well aware of how hard trainees to be able to debut solo or as part of a group. Some singers have gone through lengthy trainee periods, seven to 10 years at the most and the least being a few months to a year.

As previously mentioned, the remaining seven members were overjoyed at the big reveal. They all rushed to welcome Felix and Lee back into their group. This showed the bond that they had.

The Stray Kids' leader, Bang Chan, expressed how happy and relieved he was when he heard the news. Han Jisung also shared the same sentiments, expressing his gratitude to their producer for bringing the two back.

Meanwhile, the teaser for the finale of "Stray Kids" has been released. It features the members expressing their determination to give a good performance. In the video, they also promised to give it their all one more time so they can all debut together as nine members instead of seven.

The members' final mission is to come up with two performances, one for the seven who were not eliminated and another one featuring all nine of them. The final lineup will officially become the next boy group to come from JYP Entertainment. They will debut a year after JYP's two other male groups — GOT7 in 2014 and Day6 in 2016.

"Stray Kids" airs every Tuesday, 11 p.m. KST on MNET.
