The models undergo an interview with the judges, including host Jang Yoon-ju, and face a trio runway challenge at the airport when they arrive for casting. Most of the girls impress, while some fail to excel. Yeon-hee, So-ra, Se-hui, and Han-bit excel. Da-min also manages to make a lasting impression. After the runway, the models take part in a photo shoot challenge at the airport, which will be followed by an elimination later on that day. At the shoot, Cho-won, So-ra, So-hyun, Na-hyun, Han-bit, Yeon-hee and Jin-kyung manage to impress. A handful of other semi finalists fall flat.
Host Yoon Ju rounds up the semi-finalists, and tells them that they will all have to pass through a metal detector. If the metal detector beeps, the model has not made it to the top 16. If the model is able to pass through the detector without having it beep, she is one of the final 16. The pool of girls is reduced to 16. Two contestants who were initially rejected (Da-min & Hae-rin) are added to the cast after a change of heart, bringing the final number to 18 contestants.
The final 18 models undergo a second photo shoot at Jeju Island, where they pose as Goddesses of nature.
So-ra's photograph is praised during judging, and she receives a first call-out.
So-hyun, Da-min, Han-sol and Hae-rin ultimately land in the bottom four due to their poor performance at the shoot. Yoon Ju hands the final photograph to So-hyun, thus eliminating the other three contestants.

The contestant were grouped by one of the host and required to film a short fashion clip embodying a specific theme.
The groups were deliberated and Team 3 of the leader Han-bit won the challenge and the prize was an exclusive lunch in a luxurious yacht.
The photoshoot is a group shot with exceptional concepts.
During deliberation at the judging panel, Cho-won was hailed the best and as well as her group embodying stark minimalism. So-hyun was deemed also exceptional though her group Agriculture was deemed the worst, She was called eleventh place but if it was an individual shot, she might be on the top 3 photos. Seul-ki and So-yeon landed at the bottom 2 for their uninspiring presence and mediocre photos. Despite of appearing in bottom 2 again, So-yeon was spared and Seul-ki was eliminated though she produced a stellar photo last week.
