HYUK [ SM ] — OMG!

RYU [ GLASS ] — I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

ASAHI [ JYP ] — AH!!! IT CAN'T BE REAL!!!

SATŌ YUKI — Let's start with our official vocal mentor!

THE BIG DOOR OPENS AGAIN, A FIGURE IN BACK LIGHT APPEARS.

WHO WILL BE THE VOCAL MENTOR?

VOCAL MENTOR — Hi everyone, it's a pleasure to be here, I'm Moon Taeil the Main Vocal of NCT127, nice to meet you!

JI [ HYBE ] — Woo, he's so cool

JUEON [ HYBE ] — More than you for sure

LEE LEON — It's an honor to have you here, hyung, especially as a vocal mentor

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — The same goes for me, I'm glad they asked me, even though you could very well have been the vocal mentor too, Leo

LEE LEON — Hahaha, thanks hyung, but I prefer to be a host, I don't like teaching

ELIAS [ HYBE ] — Wait, Leo is a vocalist?!

RYU [ GLASS ] — Yes, he's the main vocal of Phoenix

ELIAS [ HYBE ] — Wow, I thought he was a rapper...

SATŌ YUKI — Taeil-sunbaenim, what do you expect from our boys during the program?

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — I don't have very specific ideas at the moment, I only know some of the trainees of my agency and I know they are good *looking at Hyuk*

HYUK [ SM ] — Is he looking at me?

JINYOUNG [ SM ] — Yeah, he's looking at you

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — but I demand the maximum commitment from each of them, I want to see their growth as artists through their performances, but above all I want them to always give their best in everything they do

LEE LEON — Well said, I think each of us would like to see you all grow through the program, but now please welcome the second mentor!

SATŌ YUKI — Let's bring in our Rap Mentor!

WHO WILL BE THE RAP MENTOR?

ACE [ YG ] — Are you kidding me?!

SEVEN [ YG ] — That's impossible!

HANSOL [ GLASS ] — I can't believe it...

RAP MENTOR — HI! Nice to see you! I'm your Rap Mentor, the Main Rapper of Stray Kids, Seo Changbin!

JIHYEOK [ JYP ] — Omg, don't do aegyo Changbin, please...

ASAHI [ JYP ] — He's here...AAAA!

SATŌ YUKI — I'm sorry, but it's written in the program so I have to ask you...Changbin-sunbaenim, what do you expect from our boys during the program?

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — I want to see their charisma, especially from the rappers...I don't know them yet, but I've already seen the burning fire in their eyes

LEE LEON — Burning fire?

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — Yes, I see their desire to get involved right now, and I can't wait to see them on stage

SATŌ YUKI — Well then, let's not waste any more of your time, thanks for being here with us as a rap mentor, I hope our guys are thrilled too

YU [ YG ] — I AM!

LEE LEON — Good, but I think with the next mentor you will be even more excited...welcome our dance mentor!

WHO WILL BE THE DANCE MENTOR?

JUEON [ HYBE ] — Who is the genius behind all this?!

JOOCHAN [ HYBE ] — Are you kidding me? Taeil and Changbin weren't enough, but also her?!

JINYOUNG [ SM ] — She's a goddess...

DANCE MENTOR — Hi guys! It's a pleasure to be here with you! I'm your dance mentor, Blackpink's Main Dancer, Lisa!

ETHAN [ HYBE ] — But is it really her?!

YU [ YG ] — Please don't wake me up if it's a dream!

RYU [ GLASS ] — They're all VIPs, omg

SEOJUN [ SM ] — I did well to participate in this program

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — Waa I'm so excited to be here! I think that I will see a lot of great dancers here!

LEE LEON — I'm convinced too, what more do you expect from them?

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — I want to see the collaboration between these guys, it's not easy to create strong performances without the right chemistry on stage, and I want to see that chemistry, I want to see them having fun and giving their best!

SATŌ YUKI — What nice words indeed, thank you so much Lisa sunbaenim for being here with us...but now let's welcome that latest mentor!

EZEKIEL [ HYBE ] — What? Another mentor?!

WHO WILL BE THE LAST MENTOR?

? MENTOR — Hi there! This is JK, your Performance Mentor, nice to meet you!

JUEON [ HYBE ] — OMG WHAT?!

HYUK [ SM ] — ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

ACE [ YG ] — I CAN'T BELIVE IT!

JINYOUNG [ SM ] — This is unbelievable...

LEE LEON — Let's welcome our last mentor, from the worldwide group BTS, Jeon Jungkook as your performance mentor!

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — Wa, it's a pleasure to be here, it's my first time mentoring someone, go easy on me guys

JINYOUNG [ SM ] — He's so cool...

SATŌ YUKI — They will! What do you expect from them?

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — I want to see them shine on stage, to be an idol you need talent, but above all you need to be able to show it to those in front of you... I want to see them bring out all their grit, at all times

LEE LEON — Ok! The presentations are over, I would say we can start what do you say mentors?

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — SURE! But I have a request *turning to the trainees* from backstage I heard someone say "We are always last!" who was among you?

ACE [ YG ] — *leaning towards yU* I think she's talking about you

YU [ YG ] — I know it!

YU [ YG ] — *shyly raising his hand* It was me, Lisa sunbaenim

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — Oh! You're from YG!

LEE LEON — Sorry Lisa, but what would be the request?

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — Since they're always last, how about having them go first for evaluation?

ACE [ YG ] — Oh no...

KAZUHA [ YG ] — I'll kill yU before the end of the program

SEVEN [ YG ] — C'mon guys, let's go

YU [ YG ] — I'm so sorry...

─────────────────

YU [ YG ] — OMG! LISA SUNBAENIM TALKED TO ME!

STAFF MEMBER — You know that because of you, you'll have to go on stage first

YU [ YG ] — Yes, I know, but I don't mind actually, in short, we are the first, they will also have a little more respect for us

YU [ YG ] — I am not afraid to go on stage and perform in front of mentors, right now all I can think about is Lisa sunbaenim who spoke to me...

─────────────────

YG'S TRAINEES ARE GETTING READY FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE

YU [ YG ] — WOOO! WHAT ARE THESE?

STAFF MEMBER — You will have to put on your name tag the number of stars that you think are appropriate for your level of ability, from 0 to 4

ACE [ YG ] — Can we put more than 4?

STAFF MEMBER — Yes you can

ACE [ YG ] — Ok thank you!

HOW MANY STARS DID OUR FIRST COMPETITORS HAVE USED?
AND HOW WILL THEIR PERFORMANCE BE?

SEVEN [ YG ] — OK LET'S GO!

KAZUHA [ YG ] — Yay!

THE TRAINEES ENTER THE STAGE STANDING IN LINE

SEVEN [ YG ] — 1, 2, 3...

TOGETHER [ YG TRAINEES ] — HI! WE ARE YG'S TIGERS!

SEVEN [ YG ] — Hi, I'm YG's tall rapper, Seven imnida!

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — Taller than me for sure!

LEE LEON — Please, don't make me laugh!

KAZUHA [ YG ] — I am the one and only strong and loyal, Shiro! Also known as the one and only cutie, Kazuha!

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — *secretly laughing* he's too cute

YU [ YG ] — Move away! yU is coming like a bomb!

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — Wo, so cool

ACE [ YG ] — Hi! This is ACE! Nice to meet you!

PETER [ GLASS ] — Why is he so scary?

WILLIAM [ GLASS ] — Why are you so silly?

SATŌ YUKI — Hi guys! Ace I have a question for you...Have I already seen you somewhere by chance?

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — Indeed you have a familiar face...

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — I've never saw him before

LEE LEON — Oh, wait...your real name is Huh Ahnjae? Are you related with Huh Yunjin of Le Sserafim? You're so similar to her

ACE [ YG ] — Yeah, she's my sister...

PETER [ GLASS ] — WHAT?!

WILLIAM [ GLASS ] — This is shocking even for me

ACE [ YG ] — But I don't want you to judge me because I'm his brother, I would like you to notice my abilities for yourself

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — I understand, in fact I see that you have chosen 4 stars for your shirt

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — Yes, here there are someone who have chosen even 9 stars

YU [ YG ] — Oh, yeah!

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — All of you guys wear 4 or more stars, are you so confident of yourselves?

SEVEN [ YG ] — We are, I think we will do a great performance

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — I like it, you're very confident, are you the leader?

SEVEN [ YG ] — Yes I am

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — You're Thai! You speak Korean very well!

SEVEN [ YG ] — Oh, thank you Lisa sunbaenim

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — Guys please! Just call me Lisa! We have almost the same age

SEVEN [ YG ] — Okay Lisa sunb- sorry, Lisa

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — Oh, Kazuha right? Did you trained with treasure?

KAZUHA [ YG ] — Oh, yes, I trained with them

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — I remember you! I saw one of your dance lessons! You were so good!

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — Ok, now enough compliments otherwise they get too excited

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — Yes, can we start with your performance?

THE TRAINEES GET IN THEIR POSITION AND START THE PERFORMANCE

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — Wooo! This was a really good start!

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — Yep, you guys have a lot of energy, I wouldn't be able to dance like that even in a hundred years

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — Don't worry Hyung, in a hundred years you'll be inside a coffin...

LEE LEON — Yah! Changbin!

SATŌ YUKI — Ok, I would say to proceed with the evaluations. As you noticed you could choose the number of stars that best represent your skills, but we obviously have the power to change that choice...the scores will go from 0 stars to a maximum of 4 stars...Lisa-sunbaenim, do you want you start?

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — Of course! To begin I would like to say that I really appreciated your choreography, you have energy to sell and it could be seen, you kept the whole performance stable and this is not a small thing, even if Seven and yU will have a long way to go in terms of dance. You are missing many details that others have taken much more into consideration, unfortunately I also noticed a lower energy than Ace and Kazuha, and some movements were decidedly slower and more disorganized. But overall you did very well!

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — I'm still shocked by the choice of song... aren't you all rappers?

SEVEN [ YG ] — Yes...

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — And why didn't you choose a song with more rap parts?

ACE [ YG ] — We wanted to show that we are not just rappers, but we have the ability to evolve and improve in all fields ... it was a painful choice but we opted for the more difficult path and not the simpler one

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — Honestly, I really appreciate this choice... you have a beautiful voice, you're good at dancing, singing and rap too...you should have put "all-rounder" as skills instead of rapper

ACE [ YG ] — Oh, thank you!

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — I agree with Jungkook, there is room for improvement of course, but you did very good...yU also gave a good performance, you lack some vocal skills, but I'm sure you will improve...Seven...it's not been so bad, but I think rap is better for you...

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — Kazuha! I really enjoyed your performance, it's not perfect yet but surely you'll be a great rapper in the program, I'll keep an eye out for you!

LEE LEON — Ok, now I'll proceed with the assignment of stars...4 stars...Ace

ACE [ YG ] — OMG! Thank you so much!

LEE LEON — and...no more. 3 stars...Kazuha

KAZUHA [ YG ] — Thank you!

LEE LEON — and...no more. 2 stars...yU

YU [ YG ] — WAAAA I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

LEE LEON — and...no more. Seven you've got 1 star

SEVEN [ YG ] — ok, thank you...

─────────────────

STAFF MEMBER — How did the audition go?

SEVEN [ YG ] — At least I didn't get 0 stars... it didn't go well at all, I'm really disappointed with myself, after more than 7 years as a trainee I expected at least 3 stars...

STAFF MEMBER — And why did it get so bad?

SEVEN [ YG ] — I'm a rapper, not a vocalist ... I wanted to challenge myself, but I lost this battle, I hope I can do it again in the future, on the other hand I'm a YG trainee, they will fear me

─────────────────

THE YG TRAINEES RETURN TO THEIR SITS

WHAT WILL BE THE NEXT PERFORMANCE?

LEE LEON  — Ok, now it's up to the SM ... guys get on stage!

5 TRAINEES TAKE THE STAGE

ASAHI [ JYP ] — OMG...they're all visuals!

YU [ YG ] — On the other hand they come from SM, you only enter if you are beautiful...

KAZUHA [ YG ] — So that's why they didn't get you...

SEOJUN [ SM ] — 1, 2, 3...

TOGETHER [ SM TRAINEES ] — HI! WE ARE SM ROOKIES!

SEOJUN [ SM ] — Sending you to heaven whit my angelic vocals, hello I'm Seojun!

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — I can't wait!

KEVIN [ SM ] — *in english* Nice to meet you everyone! I'm Kevin and take a seat because the show is about to start!

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — UUU! I like it!

JINYOUNG [ SM ] — Hello everyone, this is Jinyoung. Let's have a good time together!

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — Of course!

HYUK [ SM ] — Hi, nice to meet you I'm Hyuk!

YUNE [ SM ] — Hello, I'm Yune!

SEO CHANGBIN [ RAP MENTOR ] — So, I can see your confidence given the stars on your chest...especially Seojun and Jinyoung!

JINYOUNG[ SM ] — Yeah hehe

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — Seojun you are the leader I guess

SEOJUN[ SM ] — Yes I am

JEON JUNGKOOK [ PERFORMANCE MENTOR ] — I also see that you have been training for 5 years, it must have been hard for you

SEOJUN[ SM ] — Quite, it's never good to be just any trainee

LISA [ DANCE MENTOR ] — Kevin, are you from Melbourne? You are Australian like Rosè! I love your accent!

KEVIN [ SM ] — Haha, thanks Lisa-sunbaenim

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — Oh! Jinyoung! Is one of your specialties the Tap Dance? Really?

JINYOUNG [ SM ] — Yes, if you want later I can show you something

MOON TAEIL [ VOCAL MENTOR ] — I would be honored!

LEE LEON — Okay, guys, shall we start?

TOGETHER [ SM TRAINEES ] — YES!
