EXACT Music
EXACT Music is the first label under Hybe Corporation and it marks as the official entry to China. Formed in January 2020, EXACT Music has been actively recruiting talented trainees - both male and female, to join in the big family of Hybe. EXACT Music's CEO, John Lee, will bring Hybe's value and vision to China. Currently, EXACT Music has 20 trainees altogether (with 10 male and 10 female trainees).

After meticulous thoughts, EXACT Music decided to join the latest Genesis 88 competition with 6 of their most strongest and potential trainees, hoping to expose them with the harsh competition and train them.

DNA
BACKGROUND STORY
The 6 trainees were given the authority to choose their first audition song. All of them agreed on a BTS song - since EXACT Music is technically under Hybe Corp. After some elimination and consideration, they decided that DNA is the best choice for the first audition song as the dance can showcase each members' dance skills well, so does the vocal and rap too. Their main goal is to have neat dance synchronization and vocal could go next.

MENTOR COMMENTS
The trainees generally receive positive feedbacks, mainly due to the complete performance and neat synchronization. All mentors praised Tony and Alexa for delivering such great and stable performance, they even suggested that Tony and Alexa could just debut straight away without competing. The mentors even told the other participants that these two will be the threat of this competition. Bobby specially commented to Xavier saying that he is impressed by his stable rap eventhough he danced and kept up with the team's choreography although there are still some minor lack compared to Tony, Alexa and Yuru - the main dancers, same goes to Jinny, the main vocalist. As for Dylan, his dance and vocal are lacking compared to the other trainees and he needs some more improvement, but the bright side is that he managed to catch up with the choreography, making the whole performance neat.
