During the phone call, Changsub asks Stray Kids about the song they will perform, and Seungmin replies, "Beep Beep," which Eunkwang finds to not be true.

Afterward, Peniel asks the other team what track they want BTOB to perform. Changbin suggests "Back Door," and then Changsub unveils that they are thinking of either singing "Back Door," "TOP," or "My Pace."Changbin and Bang Chan comment that "Back Door" would suit them well when delivered in a jazz or formal party vibe.
Toward the end of the teaser video, Han asks which Stray Kids member BTOB likes the most. BTOB's answer will be revealed in the full Episode 4 of Mnet's "Kingdom," which will be broadcast tomorrow, April 22, at 7:50 p.m. KST. The upcoming episode will be available with English subtitles on Viki.
