Earlier on December 6, the "Revenge Battle" episode of the show was aired, which is a round competition between 1:1 winners and losers.

While there are a lot of expectations from the initial first-round winners, viewers also have high anticipation from the losers, who were given the chance to get their revenge and secure their spot in the competition moving forward.

The "Charisma" challengers particularly stood out after they chose 2NE1's hit track, "FIRE," as their revenge performance. Among them, Gehlee particularly earned attention not only from K-pop fans but the judges as well!

Prior to their performance, Kim Sejeong hinted at how Gehlee's consciousness of her beauty might get in the way during her stage and realizing it, the idol-aspirant put her all effort into practicing and improving herself, especially her facial expressions and dance skills.

During the stage, Gehlee boasted an extraordinary power even when she was just standing on the stage.

Watching this, Hyoyeon of the "Nation's Girl Group" Girls' Generation praised her and commented:

"Gehlee Dangca can just stand there. She's like a visual center."

Kim Sejeong of "Nation's Pick" I.O.I also admired her visuals and improved skills, saying:

"Actually, the aura that she gives off just by standing there is reall amazing. Even though she has never learned how to dance or sing professionally, I can tell that she has improved compared to the previous performance.

I think she has a really high possibility. I hope you can work hard like now and become a friend who can shine more on stage."

Following her performance, Gehlee was able to survive the first elimination round and entered the Top 8 at No. 7.

Aside from her stable vocals, she mainly attracted attention for her resemblance with IVE Jang Wonyoung, in terms of presence and confidence.

Just like the top fourth-gen idol, Gehlee isn't shy to flaunt her beauty by showing cute acts and gestures, proving her high self-esteem as well.
