Sixteen

Episode 1 (1x1)

:

The contestants are introduced and divided into two groups: Majors and Minors. This first group division is decided purely by JYP's A&R team, not Park Jin Young. Park Jin-young issued the girls the First Mission "Are you a STAR?" which challenged them to prove that they had star potential. Contestants could freely choose what they wanted to show, but JYP wanted to "see their ability to become a star or be able to feel that [they] are meant to be a star."
