"I'm more... than Natty unnie..." Belty's competitive spirit

“I can't back down from NATTY unnie” The fiery competitiveness shown by Bel-Tti

The pre-release video for the second episode of Mnet Plus original variety show 'Che-A-Bing' has been released, revealing the intense tension among the cast members. In the video, the 'Bel-Tti' members broke the existing peaceful atmosphere and revealed strong competitiveness toward one another. In particular, one member heated up the atmosphere on set by directly expressing her ambition to surpass her senior, NATTY, saying, "Rather than NATTY unnie, I will..."

This pre-release video was released to the world on July 10, 2026, through the Mnet K-POP YouTube channel. As the view count rises rapidly immediately after its release, drawing the attention of fans, the key point of interest has emerged as how the individual members' competitive spirits will play out beyond a simple survival show. The video is approximately 4 minutes and 21 seconds long, compactly capturing the dynamic energy and competitive structure shown by the Bel-Tti members.

Beyond simply competing in skill, the attitude of the Bel-Tti members, who seek to prove their presence amidst comparisons with the senior artist NATTY, foreshadows the core conflict structure of this episode. The words spoken by the members can be interpreted as more than mere jokes; they reflect a desperate desire to grow as idols and an instinctive movement to survive within a competitive system.

Virtues of a global idol: A survival journey continuing from the foreign language mission

In the previously released first episode of 'Che-A-Bing,' a mission themed around 'foreign language proficiency,' an essential virtue for global idols, was conducted. At that time, the cast members put their respective linguistic capabilities to the test while performing a team mission to obtain in-flight snacks. These missions, continuing from the first episode, are a process of verifying whether the participants are prepared in various ways to advance to the global stage, not just in terms of performance skills.

Through this 'Che-A-Bing' series, Mnet is multidimensionally portraying the growth narratives of the members. While the language mission shown in the first episode was a process of verifying basic qualities, the competitive structure of Bel-Tti shown in the second episode's pre-release implies that the full-scale battle of skills and psychological warfare has begun. Various exclusive contents provided through the Mnet Plus platform help viewers keep up with the flow of the variety show.

Currently, videos related to 'Che-A-Bing' are being uploaded consecutively to the Mnet K-POP channel, adding to the momentum. With the second episode's pre-release video following just one day after the first episode's mission video was released, it is evident that the program is progressing at a very fast pace. Fans are already grasping the characters of the members through the short videos already released and are focusing on the results of the second episode's main broadcast, which will unfold in earnest.
