Mnet

Mnet's "Build Up: Vocal Boy Group Survival", or simply known as "Build Up", continues to pique the interest of netizens everywhere as the show moves ever forward. The 40 talented contestants has now been cut in half as the competition heats up with a flurry of mind-blowing performances. With every note, we come one step closer to finding out which four contestants will make the final debut lineup.

Now, the contestants have entered the "One Team Mission", creating 5 teams of 4 members that will last until the finals. While some might believe the winning team will ultimately be the one to make their debut, others continue to think there's still a chance for an individual mission or voting to pop up in the finals that will help to determine the outcome.

As we are all still waiting for "Build Up" to announce just how they'll form the final group lineup, here are some contestants we believe could be potential dark horses and shake everything up.

1. M.O.N.T's Bitsaeon

Coming over from "Peak Time", Bitsaeon has slowly been putting out statement performances that audiences should not ignore. He's a talented vocalist, able to do spellbinding falsettos and reach outstanding high notes. Even when teamed up with crowd favorites, Bitsaeon still manages to grab hold of the spotlight, causing fans to hope he'll become one of the four final members.

2. UP10TION's SunYoul

However, SunYoul has remained consistent all throughout, his pure, uplifting vocals becoming a source of strength. Even in the face of adversity, he's able to stay the course and put on a performance that leaves the entire studio speechless.

3. CIX's SeungHun

The CIX member has remained true to the title of the show, slowly building up his skills as they reach closer to the end. SeungHun has shown that he's an absolute all-rounder and while there's crowd favorites, he's hoping to have that title for himself. With his upward trajectory, making the final group lineup seems a likely course for the idol vocalist.

4. JUNGSOOMIN

JUNGSOOMIN has shown a duality of being relaxed and carefree, while also being the reinvigorating vitamin to his beloved groupmates.

And with every performance, he's more than proven he deserves a spot in the final lineup. Now audiences must wait and see if JUNGSOOMIN's talent takes him all the way across the finish line.

5. AB6IX's Jeon Woong

Within the first few episodes, Jeon Woong voiced his bold desire to become a "son of Mnet". And while his journey to accomplishing this has been hard fought, it seems he's slowly reaching the point where this dream might come true. He's applied all the criticism he's received to his singing technique and was finally able to impress the judges before him. With this as his first step, there's a very real chance he could make the final group lineup.
