day two of the trainee reveal is much more hectic than day one, mostly because of the rumors surrounding some of the potential trainees appearing today. this time, officers have to build a barricade around the mall so that fans won't block the entrance and shoppers can still come in.

it seems as if the onlookers have doubled from the previous day. many of those who chose to just watch the stream rather than the live reveal yesterday traded their warm homes for a thick coat as they brave the cold december night in gangnam.

tonight is different than last night; however, because as promised- the first five minutes of the first episode would be airing exclusively on the coex screens.

〈 SNEAK PEAK: EPISODE ONE 〉

the screens light up with a new set of words.

chatoyer :
where big dreams mean no limits

the screen is still black, but an unknown voice can be heard.

??? (??? / ?): Becoming an idol... i don't know if i've ever wanted anything more than this.

??? (??? / ?): It's been my dream for six years...

??? (??? / ?): Everyday i asked, what was wrong with me now? Why does everyone around me debut... why am i still here?

??? (??? / ?): I've heard it said that fate has a special plan for every one of us. It shapes our lives for good and bad. It brought me here, and now i'm ready to become-

as the trainee speaks, the screen changes to reveal two words.

A STAR.

the screen flashes again to reveal the title of the first episode.

suddenly, the screen flicks on to reveal one of the trainees reaching forward to touch the camera.

??? (??? / ?): Is it on?

a second trainee can be seen.

??? (??? / ?): Unnie! Don't touch that~ it's probably recording.

??? (??? / ?): Recording what?

a third voice can be heard from off screen.

??? (??? / ?): Well right now it's getting your huge forehead and unnie's big nose.

??? (??? / ?): My nose is not big!

the trainee in question stares at herself in the camera, touching her nose.

??? (??? / ?): It's not that big...

a fourth voice can be heard, another trainee presumably.

??? (??? / ?): Come on, we're supposed to get our name tags and then introduce ourselves.

??? (??? / ?): Woah... so many names... are we the first ones?

??? (??? / ?): Let's count! 1... 2... 3... 4...

the voice stops counting.

??? (??? / ?): Wait a second... why are there..?

??? (??? / ?): Did someone forget how to count past four again? Let me give you a hint... it starts with 'F' and ends in 'ive'

??? (??? / ?): Shut up! Wait... did they just get me saying that on camera.

caption: yes, we did just get that on camera.

??? (??? / ?): I'm so so so so sorry! I didn't mean it i swear!

??? (??? / ?): Just pick a letter already...

??? (??? / ?): The ace one looks so shiny...

she reaches out to grab an ace sticker but another trainee swats her hand away.

??? (??? / ?): Do you really want to be known as the trainee who picked ace? What if you don't get ace and everyone will think you're too confident...

??? (??? / ?): B-but... shiny.

??? (??? / ?): Whatever. Don't say i didn't warn you.

the trainees gather together in front of the camera to introduce themselves.

??? (??? / ?): Hello! We are-

the screen goes black. onlookers timing will tell you it was exactly five minutes.
