૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Riria used to play volleyball in highschool and her team placed 2nd in her Prefecture's tournament.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Her room il filled with albums of Ado as well as tons of 2000s vinyls.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 She is taller than her brother and her mother. Just her dad tops her out in this category.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Growing up, she had a chinchilla. When she was 14 years old, it went missing during a road trip after her brother "set him free from the torture" and opened the cage.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 She only auditioned to the show last minute because her brother begged her to.

﹙behind the scenes﹚

The sun is slowly setting on the breath-taking scenery of the summer camp. The staff members had the chance to take a break and eat some chicken noodle soup with boiled meat.

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉- [slurping the soup directly from the bowl] Mh... This broth is super tasty!

One of the staff members seems to be really tired, even if it's nothing new for their colleagues. Their head hangs slightly forward each time their eyes slowly shut.

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉- (CENSORED) please don't fall asleep while eating. You're not gonna drop your head into the soup, won't you?

꒷ ??? ³ 〈 STAFF 〉- [hums sleepily]

꒷ ??? ¹ 〈 STAFF 〉- We found Yang Soobin's twin, methinks. [chuckles]

꒷ ??? ² 〈 STAFF 〉- I'll go meet the thirteenth guest while you finish your meal. See you later guys!

Leaving the colleagues at the small tent, JURI reaches the meeting point, greeting another trainee with the usual polite bow.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Let me guess... [checks the board] You must be Ho... Riria? [tilts her head, pursing her lips] That's a quite not-so-common name for a Korean person.

꒷ HO RIRIA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- I know!

꒷ HO RIRIA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- As the only member in my family to be born in Japan, my mother decided to give me a japanese name. Actually, it isn't a japanese name either... I found out it's the japanese version of the name Lydia.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Wow! That's interesting.

꒷ HO RIRIA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- I spent most of my life in Japan rather than South Korea.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- So that's why you wear the auricolar. I guess you didn't speak Korean much often back in Japan.

꒷ HO RIRIA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Just with my family, actually. But... Yeah. The majority of the time I spoke Japanese, of course.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- By the way, I'm supposed to ask you to tell me what's in your luggage. May I ask you?

꒷ HO RIRIA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Sure!

꒷ HO RIRIA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- I have a couple of posters to make the shared-bedroom more familiar to me. One is a poster of Ado and the other... [laughs] It's the mouse with the bow meme...

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- [blinks, looking at the two posters] ... What else?

꒷ HO RIRIA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- A couple of boxes of different types of chocolate. I love chocolate... Next, my mini foot-pool and a bunch of face masks!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- A... Mini foot-pool?

꒷ HO RIRIA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Yup! Oh! I was almost forgetting my volleyball...

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- [jaw droppingly] ANOTHER ONE?

﹙behind the scenes﹚

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- OH MY GOD!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- [startled] WHAT?

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- Unnie, why are you yelling...

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- ...

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- You were the one screaming, not me.

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- Well, I had a good reason to scream this loud...!

MINSEO is so excited she can't even stand still without jumping up and down on the spot. JURI is extremely tired, to say less, but as the oldest staff member, she's the one in charge to take care of everyone and make sure everything is going smoothly.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- What is it?

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- Our first non-asian contestant is the next to show up here!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- How many non-asian trainees did audition for the show?

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- [saddened] Unfortunately, only one...

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- [baffled] Global auditions my ass...

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- [hitting JURI's shoulder lightly] Language, unnie...! Speaking of language... We should dust off our English. I don't think she speaks Korean...

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- What makes you think so? The papers say that she's pretty good at Korean. Maybe she can understand us without the auricolar for translation.

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- She's coming! Oh, she's gorgeous...

The fourteenth guest coming from overseas reaches the meeting point accompanied by the small plushie she's holding. It's a cute yellowish frog.

꒷ SHAR CLEMENTE〈 TRAINEE 〉- [in Korean] Hello!

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- [excitedly] YOUR KOREAN IS AMAZING!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- She just... Greeted us... [sighs]

꒷ SHAR CLEMENTE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Forgive me for my Korean. It's pretty mediocre, I know. I'm still learning the language tho!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- It's okay! [smiles gently with her eyes] Actually, it's pretty good since you can at least understand us speaking without the auricolar.

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- May I ask you what are you holding?

꒷ SHAR CLEMENTE〈 TRAINEE 〉- It's Coco! He's a little Coqui and he's my best friend. I always carry him with me whenever I have to leave for a long time.

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- [bends down a little to greet the plushie] Hi, Coco! It's nice to meet you too!

꒷ COCO 〈 ??? 〉- Who the fuck are you.

꒷ SHAR CLEMENTE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- COCO NO! You're not supposed to say bad words here...

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- [furrowing her eyebrows, unaware of what just happened] What did he say...?

꒷ SHAR CLEMENTE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Nothing...! Trust me.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- [not so convinced by SHAR's answer] Alright... Let's proceed with the usual question.

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- Right! What did you bring with you, Shar? Other than little Coco, of course!

꒷ COCO 〈 ??? 〉- She's so annoying.

꒷ SHAR CLEMENTE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- [covers COCO's mouth] Enough with the blabbering.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Hm? What did you say?

꒷ SHAR CLEMENTE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Uh... Nothing! So, you asked what's in my luggage? Alright, lemme think about it...

꒷ SHAR CLEMENTE〈 TRAINEE 〉- I brought my new scrapbook dedicated to my journey here, a couple of books in case I have time left to read something... My mini printer, for my scrapbook so I can add things, and other stuff like pens, glue sticks, and more. And a picture framed of my family!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Great! Now you may leave to reach other trainees at the camp gates.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Among her few awards in solo ice dancing, her proudest win was at the WKC unicorn dance trophy 2024 in the Netherlands purely because of the competition's name.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Kyara's phone is filled with her making unscripted video essays about topics she is very interest. Sometimes, she edits them for fun but mostly, her phone storage is filled with just yapping.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Before joining OUR LAST SUMMER, Kyara was living her aesthetic travel girl life around Europe and documens her experience through a blog and on a scrapbook-esque journal.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Her favorite home chore is vacuuming. Kyara has several vacuums (each one named and purposefully used for different occasions) and has spent a lot of her adult money in doing so.

﹙behind the scenes﹚

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Damn it. This pen is broken...

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- [chuckling] I bet it's the same pen you used to write your essay back in college.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- ...

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- So what?

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- It's a miracle the ink lasted until now!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- [sighs] Yeonji, could you borrow me a pen, please?

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- Of course! Here you go, unnie.

YEONJI gives JURI a pink flamingo pen covered in fluffy fake feathers of the same color.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- [sneezes]

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- ... Didn't know you were a Lovelinus!

YEONJI just made a reference to the iconic song that made Lovelyz gain their fame, "Ah-choo".

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Being close to (CENSORED) doesn't do you well.

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- [humming my herself] Ah-Choo... neol bomyeon jaechaegiga naol geot gata... neoman bomyeon haejugopeun yaegiga cham manha... naui ipsuri neomu ganjireowo chamgiga himdeureo...

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- ... Unnie, I think she's broken.

Girls, go easy on YEONJI... The audition was too scary but singing in front of you doesn't seem to be the same for her. You should cheer her up...!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- [pats MINSEO's shoulder] Let her be, Minseo. She'll be alright.

꒷ KYARA KUROMIYA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Hello, girls!

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- Our fifteenth guest, Kuromiya Kyara! Welcome!

꒷ KYARA KUROMIYA〈 TRAINEE 〉- Thank you! It's a pleasure to be here and I'm so excited to reach the other trainees and meet them!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- You brought with you a rather small luggage.

꒷ KYARA KUROMIYA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Actually, the big luggage is still on its way to the camp...

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- [whispering to herself] How big could it be that she couldn't even carry it in the car...

꒷ KYARA KUROMIYA〈 TRAINEE 〉- So... I brought with me my dental kit and some sunscreen bottles of different SPF levels. You know, just in case other trainees might need them.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- What's in the other big luggage you mentioned?

꒷ KYARA KUROMIYA 〈 TRAINEE 〉- My Eevee plush. It's an oversized one, that's why it didn't fit the bag... And my vacuums of course!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- ... YOUR WHAT?

﹙author﹚

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Sadie is the older sister of NATHAN CHAE, current contestant of the second season of the survival show SEIYUU ACADEMY. - ©cyanotype

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Soon after finishing her high school years in Texas, Sadie moved to Seoul, in South Korea, to attend college. She graduated from Yonsei University with a degree in music, most specifically in Voice. Despite coming from a humble country household, her parents managed to put aside enough money for their eldest daughter to get into the private scholarship in South Korea.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Back to her family ranch in Texas, she used to teach other kids visiting their farm how to ride horses and take care of them. When she goes back to her childhood hometown, she always pays a visit to Mollie, her horse.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Sadie spent her training period in South Korea auditioning for labels that eventually didn't accept her. She joined OUR LAST SUMMER for fun, actually. Maybe to compete with her brother too...

﹙behind the scenes﹚

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- Only two trainees left! I'm so excited to see the last trainees...

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- Me too! Who's next?

YEONJI peeks the name of the sixteenth trainee coming to the meeting point. Her eyes lit up in surprise and excitement.

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- I can't believe it! It's her!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Huh? What are you talking about?

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- She's Nathan Chae's sister!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Who?

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- ARE YOU KIDDING ME...

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- I'm being serious. I don't know who this Nathan is. But I find his name pretty cool, honestly.

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- Aren't you watching the second season of Seiyuu Academy?

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- No? I'm working my ass off here and even outside this place so my life doesn't rotate around survival shows, luckily.

Uh... That was evil, JURI...

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- Did you eat bread and lemons to be this sour, Unnie?

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Sorry, I'm just tired... [sighs]

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- No but for real. You don't know about Yaoi Academy?

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- ... Sounds crazy enough to me to not look up to it on the internet. Thank you.

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- There! She's coming!

The trainee reaches the three staff members, waving her hand to greet them. She's wearing... A pink and white cowboy hat?

꒷ SADIE CHAE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Hello girls!

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- Nice to meet you, Sadie!

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- I like your hat!

꒷ SADIE CHAE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Thank you! [greets her moving slightly up the hat on her head] My father gifted me the plain version and I decorated it myself. I'm glad you like it! [smiles widely]

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- I heard you have a quite famous brother who's competing on another survival show.

꒷ SADIE CHAE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Exactly. I still don't get why he decided to participate since he's almost tone deaf. If he wanted to kiss boys on national television he could've just auditioned for a bl series or something... [shakes her head]

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- ...

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Happy Pride Month, I guess.

It is indeed Pride Month.

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- Uh... So... We're supposed to ask you what did you bring with you here at the camp in your luggage... [checks what's written in her own papers]

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- That's right, Yeonji! Good job. [pats YEONJI's shoulder smiling]

꒷ SADIE CHAE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- So... I took with me the notebook where I collect wildflowers of any sort. My Pinky Pie water bottle and blanket. It's my favorite one and yes, I sleep with a blanket during summer too.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- I'm not going to judge you at all. To be honest, we share the same habit. My bones are getting old and I need to keep them warm, avoiding aches and pains.

꒷ SADIE CHAE 〈 TRAINEE 〉- ... You don't keep it to protect yourself from evil paranormal entities at night?

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- What the f(BEEP)...

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 She's very afraid of cold water. When she was younger she had congestion and since then, she stopped drinking it.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Doah is the type of person who isn't afraid of bugs and prefers not to kill them. She usually catches them and carries them away from scared people.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Her mood is greatly influenced by the weather. For example, she is very lively on sunny days, while she's more gloomy on rainy days.

꒷ KANG DOAH 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Stay still... I'm going to catch it... [grabs the creature with her bare hands]

After all, it was just a caterpillar...

Quietly, Doah places the bug on the leaf of a tree nearby.

꒷ KANG DOAH 〈 TRAINEE 〉- Here you go, my friend. [smiles]

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- [breathing heavily] My God... It was so scary...

꒷ KANG DOAH 〈 TRAINEE 〉- It wasn't going to bite you anyway.

꒷ ??? 〈 STAFF 〉- [waking up from his nap] Hm...? What happened?

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- Minseo had an ugly caterpillar on her arm!

꒷ ??? 〈 STAFF 〉- [yawning] You should reconsider your standards of beauty. Caterpillars are cute.

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- ...

꒷ ??? 〈 STAFF 〉- [checks the paper, humming] You're Kang Doah, seventeeth guest. As usual, before reaching the other trainees at the gates, we're going to ask you what's in your luggage. What did you bring with you?

꒷ KANG DOAH 〈 STAFF 〉- Uhm... Let me give it a quick look.

꒷ KANG DOAH 〈 STAFF 〉- Two spare earphones, the lucky charm talisman my grandmother gave me, my Pochacco puppet, sweets of any kind... What else... A disposable camera that my brother gave me.

꒷ ??? 〈 STAFF 〉- Nothing weird this time. What a win.

﹙user comment here﹚

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Sayaka is claustrophobic. She was once trapped in a lift as a child and, since then, she's scared of small and narrow spaces.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 She loves the harajuku area in Tokyo the most. She feels that the vibes there are what she likes the best.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Sayaka can play the guitar and the bass. She begged her parents to have those instruments for her 12th and 16th birthdays respectfully. Thankfully, she diligently played them instead of leaving them to rot at home.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა 〃 Sayaka has been learning to produce beats on her own in hopes that she'll write and produce her own songs someday. She cites the late Sophie as one of her greatest influences in that regard.

꒷ CHA MINSEO 〈 STAFF 〉- WOO HOO! IT'S THE LAST GUEST! [jumps around, shredding the papers with all the information of each trainee]

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- [touching her stomach] Uh... I can't wait to come back to the hotel and eat dinner...

꒷ HA YEONJI 〈 STAFF 〉- I know a place where they make the best Tteokbokki ever! And the best miso soup too!

꒷ ??? 〈 STAFF 〉- Uh... Stop talking about food... I've only had a sandwich today. I'm starving.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- You could've bring some at the vending machines around the corner instead of those poorly made sandwiches that the production gave us.

꒷ ??? 〈 STAFF 〉- You're right, but you know I can't take long walks alone.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- I do know it. That's why I sent Yeonji to keep an eye on you.

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- FOR THE LAST TIME I'M NOT YOUR MOTHER.

꒷ ??? 〈 STAFF 〉- [shrugs] Then stop behaving like one.

꒷ HONG JURI〈 STAFF 〉- Go f(BEEP) yourself honestly.

꒷ ??? 〈 STAFF 〉- [chuckles]

The last trainee to join the show reaches the meeting point with her luggage and a tired look on her face.

꒷ TAKABAYASHI SAYAKA〈 TRAINEE 〉- Am I late?

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Oh, no no! You're perfectly on time.

꒷ TAKABAYASHI SAYAKA〈 TRAINEE 〉- [bows politely, fixing her auricolar soon after] Nice to meet you. The production told me to come here and you would do the rest.

꒷ ??? 〈 STAFF 〉- [speaking japanese] Yes, that's right. You must be Sayaka.

꒷ TAKABAYASHI SAYAKA〈 TRAINEE 〉- Mh! That's me, yes.

꒷ HONG JURI〈 STAFF 〉- Would you like to tell us what's in your luggage?

꒷ TAKABAYASHI SAYAKA〈 TRAINEE 〉- Of course!

꒷ TAKABAYASHI SAYAKA〈 TRAINEE 〉- My make-up and skincare kit. It's a lot of stuff, I know, I hope there will be enough space for them in my room... A bag of matcha powder, a notebook and some omamori that my mother gave me before the flight.

꒷ TAKABAYASHI SAYAKA〈 TRAINEE 〉- Oh! My huge Kuromi plushie too!

꒷ HONG JURI 〈 STAFF 〉- Good luck sleeping on the floor, girls!

The last list is finally here! My sight is a little blurry, I'm hungry and I crave ice cream. (Don't mind me I'm just going Insane...)

These "behind the scenes" aren't the best so far, I know, but I had little inspiration at some point. I really hope it's not so noticeable...

With love,

Ellie.
