I know many people say that certain idols
look too nice to be representatives but she
genuinely looks too sweet to be on this show.

❙ ✧ ›› STAFF 2
while I agree... she's also right outside the
meeting room and I think she's going to
accept the offer.

[ the door opens ! ]

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
I overheard your conversation... you aren't
very quiet.

❙ ✧ ›› STAFF 1
so... are you our rep?

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
of course! why would I say no?

❙ ✧ ›› STAFF 2
okay! here are the guidelines for the show.

EVERYTHING WAS EXPLAINED IN
DETAIL, ELIMINATIONS AS WELL
AS HOW VOTINGS WORK !

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
I admire the concept but I'm afraid I don't
know what to do when they may start
fighting–

❙ ✧ ›› STAFF 2
oh! that's why you have another representative
to assist you in the areas you may be not that
confident in.

[ the door opens again ! ]

❙ ✧ ›› ??? ⨾ ISL REP.
[ instantly bows the second the door opens ]
hello!

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.

though. . . rose, scent, kiss anyone?

────────────────────────

❙ ✧ ›› DAEHWI ⨾ ISL REP.
I've been here before but I feel like this
time is a lot different!

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
[ deadpan ] well yeah, this time you're
following the journeys of girls and boys
not just the girls.

❙ ✧ ›› DAEHWI ⨾ ISL REP.
I don't know how you did it but you
made that sound VERY bad.

❙ ✧ ›› LEE RAEIN ⨾ BE:LIFT
they have chemistry already... this will
be a fun show.

────────────────────────

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
I hope you all know what you came here for,
even if it's self-explanatory. the journey to even
get here wasn't easy, so for that everyone give
another round of applause! [ claps hands ]

❙ ✧ ›› DAEHWI ⨾ ISL REP.
we are the representatives for in silver lining.
we will help you along this journey and pose
as friends. we will also be revealing the rankings
every evaluation. surprise visits were indeed
written in our contract, so don't be shocked if
we suddenly pop up behind you.

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
in total there are 40 of you. 20 female trainees,
20 male trainees, each hoping to gain a spot
in that debut lineup. there will be four evaluations
where you can prove to the "silver creators" that
you deserve that spot using your skills.

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
after each evaluation starting today, you will all
be ranked from 1st to see how many will remain.
failure to reach that 'safe zone' will result in your
elimination.

❙ ✧ ›› DAEHWI ⨾ ISL REP.
[ points palm of hand to the top row of seats ]
look below you.

THE TRAINEES SITTING AT THE TOP
ROW LOOK AT THE GROUND.

A LIGHT SURROUNDS THEIR SEATS AND
A DIGITAL THREAD CONNECTS THEM ALL.

❙ ✧ ›› DAEHWI ⨾ ISL REP.
although they appear as ordinary chairs,
those top row seats indicate the "silver
thread" seats. essentially debut seats,
but masked as normal ones.

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
as you can see, there are only ten. five
male trainee seats and five female
trainee seats. don't be fooled, however.
even though the seats are separated,
the final group will be one.

❙ ✧ ›› DAEHWI ⨾ ISL REP.
this is a competition. the ratio of eliminations
per evaluation are set, however, the ratio for
the final group will not be. whoever makes the
top ten in the final episode will be the ones to
debut. regardless of gender.

❙ ✧ ›› CHOI JUNSEO ⨾ BEAT INT.
I know I'm to take it seriously but I
can't help but laugh at the idea of
nine boys and one girl or vice
versa. like. what if that happens?
[ laughs ]

────────────────────────

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
I'm sure you're all aware that we won't be
the only people following your journey!
we will, of course, have mentors to help
shape your current skills into ones that
will take you very far.

────────────────────────

IN SILVER LINING'S FIRST EVALUATION STARTS !

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
silver lining means best. speaking in skill and
talent only, the trainees placed here could easily
be considered for the debut spots. they will be
in the front for the stage, leading all the trainees.
opening centers will also be decided through
these trainees.

❙ ✧ ›› DAEHWI ⨾ ISL REP.
yellow lining means mediocre. they have skill and
talent, but not enough that it wowed everyone. their
abilities could be further improved with more work
and training.

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
red lining means. . . worst. any trainee given this
lining are assumed to need heaps more training
in order to be considered eligible to continue on
with the show. no stage, not even as "back-up
dancers." if they have no place within the show,
all they have left is to go home.

❙ ✧ ›› DAEHWI ⨾ ISL REP.
I hope you all understand that we have standards,
and we will be strict on how we evaluate you. this
evaluation will show us where we should place you
on that stage. however, [ holding up a silver sticker ]
this does not mean a free pass. you now have
a large responsibility to hold onto and you must
now not let us down.

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
your fate now lies on the mentors.

THE JOURNEY OF THE TRAINEES STARTS NOW !

. . . I just got here. how can I face my company
nontheless my family, if I'm gone this early?

A STANDING OVATION FROM
THE MENTORS IS SHOWN !

❙ ✧ ›› ??? ⨾ ?/?
I think that performance will go down
in survival show history.

WHO IS IT ?

❙ ✧ ›› YUJEONG ⨾ ISL REP.
leaders of each company, please step forward.

A TWIST TO BE REVEALED ?

────────────────────────

✎ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) RUNE'S ROOM !

although any show 'corner' will inherently
be inspired by shan even if I claim otherwise,
what would you guys want to see from
something like that? any name ideas for it
as well?

and for those who never read project luxe,
daehwi was the representative there so I
guess you can say I brought him back lol.
luv him ♡

I didn't really bother with reaction gifs
this time around as I still feel like they
become out of place at times. I'm so
used to relying on solely my writing that
using actual imagery for stuff is weird
lmao.

anyway I hope u enjoyed !!
