Leo from Trainee A said in his vlog uploaded on their YouTube account that all HYBE trainees were going to be competing in a showdown. Trainees accross all labels (BigHit Music, Pledis, Source Music, and KOZ Entertainment) wilm have a competition among themselves called Showdown, and it's the 6th Showdown already held.

In the vlog, Leo said, "What's new for this Showdown is we perform with other labels trainees. That's new because we only did it among trainees in our company but now we have perform and compete with other labels trainees."

So, before this competition, the competitions were only held amongst trainees under the same company trainees, but for this Showdown, they're all doing it together.

In these vlogs, both male and female trainees can be seen either waiting in the audience for their turn or up on stage competing with the Trainee A members.

The trainees go through multiple rounds of rapping, singing and dancing during the competition.

And also, during the vlog, they discussed why Jihoon couldn't compete in the competition. It was revealed that Jihoon's rank fell down, and was unable to perform with the other trainees. So it appears that only trainees with higher ranks can compete in this Showdown competition.
