For the seventh episode that aired on June 16, J.Y. Park shocked the contestants when he tasked them with the tricky mission of electing amongst themselves the member that will rise to major. After the mission,�Jihyo placed first place with a total of 21 points which resulted in the major and minor positions experiencing a radical shift. Tensions ran high when J.Y. Park recited the program rule of eliminating one of the minor members. However, he anticlimactically announced, "There will be no eliminations," explaining that it won't be right to drop a contestant based on today's results and emphasizing, "I hope you will share some stories with good feelings and get a good night's rest."

After all was said and done, the remaining 'SIXTEEN' members were at last able to enjoy some delicious foods and the free time that had risen so unexpectedly. Jiwon told the other members, "It was really fun spending time together and I feel as if I'm less stressed now." Nayeon revealed, "I made memories that I won't ever forget," while Jihyo added, "I really wanted to go on a trip with everyone. This is really awesome, really," heartily bonding over the bountiful dinner table.�
