[first it's just a black screen, the noises of fabric moving being the only thing making the screen different from a black picture. suddenly a light shines and the silhouette of what looks to be a woman can be seen. they're average height, has pretty long hair and appears to be wearing something like a suit.]

💬 ??? | mc / judge :
  Hello everyone! I would like to welcome you all to CRUSH! 

[as more lights flicker on in the background you can see the suspected woman walking over and sitting down on what looks like a sofa.]

💬 ??? | mc / judge :
  You're probably wondering who I am, if you don't recognize my voice of course.

[suddenly all the lights turn on and the camera zooms in on the mc, who waves with a big smile on their face.]

💬 ??? | mc / judge :
  That's right! I'm Lee Jieun, also known as IU!

[a picture comes up on the screen, the picture containing different information about IU as well as a photo of her (will be at the top of the judges/hosts chapter for you to read!). as the picture is still on the screen a producer starts talking.]

💬 producer :
  As you can see, IU-noona, oh shit- uhm.. as you can see, IU-nim has been an idol since 2008 and, as you probably can guess, she's a very loved idol here in South Korea and has been for over 10 years. We are very grateful to have her as our mc, now back to you noon- shit, now back to you IU-nim!

[the picture fades away from the screen and the camera is focused on IU. you can hear IU quietly laughing whilst bowing towards behind the cameras, definitely towards the producer who just talked.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Ah, thank you producer-nim... Let's introduce the other judges, shall we?

[the camera zooms out and you can now see a set of sofas. IU is sitting on a smaller sofa that is placed a few meters away from a brick wall. to the left of that sofa another one, that is bigger than the one IU can be seen sitting on, is placed. there's yet another sofa, this one being the biggest sofa of the three and it's placed on the other side, on the right side, of IU.]

[the view shifts to another angle, now being mainly focused on one of the longer sofas.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  We welcome out our first judge...

[a person with long hair is seen entering the area with the sofas, but their face is not visible until they've reached the sofa the camera is directed towards.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  ...It's Siyeon of the girl group DREAMCATCHER!

💬 Siyeon | judge :
  Thank you IU-sunbaenim! As IU-sunbae said, I'm Lee Siyeon of DREAMCATCHER and I'm very happy to be here!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  It's we who should thank you for coming here even though you have such a busy schedule. I heard your group is preparing for a comeback, is that true?

💬 Siyeon | judge :
  Yes, it actually is! I hope InSomnia are excited for it, because we sure are!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  I'll make sure to check out your comeback, promise. Should we introduce the next judge Siyeon?

💬 Siyeon | judge :
  Thank you IU-unnie... and, uh, yes I guess? 

[another person walks in, the camera following them as they walk towards the sofas and sit down next to Siyeon.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Here we have Mark of NCT and SuperM! He's going to be a judge and also kind of a host, welcome Mark!

💬 IU | mc / judge : 
  Hi and welcome Mark! How are you?

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
  Hello you guys! I'm... great, a bit stressed but hey, that's life! How are you then IU-sunbaenim and Siyeon-Noona?

💬 Siyeon | judge :
  Ah, Mark, I'm doing great!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  So am I! It's wonderful to be here.

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
  Awh grat! Should we introduce the next judge then?

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Yes! Let's welcome them!

[yet another person enters the room, a relatively tall person with shoulder length hair walks in and sits down next to Mark.]

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
  It's the queen of mature concepts, welcome Kiki Xu of 7SENSES and THE9!

💬 Kiki Xu | judge :
  Hey! I'm THE9 and 7SENSES member Kiki Xu, or Jiaqi! 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Hi Kiki! We're so happy that you were able to come be a judge here! And, I must ask you, how does it feel to have made your solo debut? It's called Poison Kandy, right?

💬 Kiki Xu | judge :
Yep, Poison Kandy is the name! It felt great, I honestly love the song and choreo so much!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
 Ah, I actually watched the debut stage when I found out you were one of the judges, and I just have to compliment you -  it was an extremely powerful performance! 

💬 Kiki Xu | judge :
  Ah... thank you Jieun-sunbae!

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
  Sorry for interrupting, but I think it's time to introduce the last judges!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
Oh, right! Well then, let's welcome them!

[this time two people enter the room, the two were holding hands and they were quietly giggling as they sat down on the sofa next to Kiki.]

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
 This is Bona and Xuan Yi of WJSN!

L: xuan yi - R: bona

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Welcome! We're glad to have you two here!

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
  We're so grateful to have you guys here as judges! Will this be your first activity in South Korea after your hiatus Xuan Yi-noona?

💬 Xuan Yi | judge :
   Ah... yes it actually is! I'm hoping to participate in the coming WJSN comebacks as well after this show, but I'm honestly very happy that this will be my first activity after that hiatus.

💬 Bona | judge :
 Yeah, the members are very thrilled to have her back! 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Very understandable!

[pictures of the five judges appears on the screen, these pictures are just as the one with IU - filled with information about the idols that will be judges for the show. after a minute or so the pictures fade away from the screen. (these will be in the judges/hosts chapter). when the pictures fade away the camera angle has once again changed and IU is now in focus, with Siyeon and Mark being visible as well.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Now, let's introduce the mentors for CRUSH! These are the people who are going to help our beloved trainees evolve and become a better version of themselves!

[the camera has now shifted angle completely, this time it's mainly focused on the empty sofa, with IU and her sofa being the only other visible thing, except what looks like a big black curtain.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  First mentor, welcome to the sofas!

[the camera follows a person with pretty long hair walking to the empty sofa and sitting down. the person waves towards the camera as their face is revealed.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  This is Wendy of RED VELVET, our first vocal mentor! Hello and welcome! 

💬 Wendy | vocal mentor :
  Hey! I'm Wendy Son of RED VELVET, the first vocal mentor!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  We are so excited to have you here as a mentor, I hope you're doing alright!

💬 Wendy | vocal mentor :
  Ah, IU-unnie, it's so great to be here!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  That's good to hear Wendy-ssi! 

[wendy nodded with a big smile on her face, showing that she truly was happy to be there.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  We'll move onto the second vocal mentor, let's introduce them!

[just as before, the camera follows the person entering, the person is average height, has short hair and wears glasses. they sit down next to Wendy with a smile on their face.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Let's welcome our second vocal mentor, hello Baekhyun of EXO and SuperM!

💬 Baekhyun | vocal mentor :
  Hi! I'm Byun Baekhyun, the second vocal mentor of CRUSH!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  We're so happy to have you here Baekhyun-oppa, how are you? 

💬 Baekhyun | vocal mentor :
  I'm doing great! How 'bout you sunbaenim? 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
   I'm doing amazing, thank you for asking! 

💬 Baekhyun | vocal mentor :
  That is great to hear IU-sunbae!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
   Let's introduce our dance mentors, starting with... 

[IU pointed towards the other end of the sofa, a smile on her face and a small drum roll on her lap. A person with relatively long hair enters the room with the sofas, they walk and sit down next to Baekhyun on the sofa.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  ...Lisa of BLACKPINK! 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Welcome Lisa!

💬 Lisa | dance mentor :
  Hello! I'm Lalisa Manoban, or Lisa, of BLACKPINK! I'll be one of the dance ny- oh crap, dance mentors for CRUSH!

[Siyeon and IU can both be heard chuckling at Lisa.]

💬 Lisa | dance mentor :
  Sorry...

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Ah, don't worry about it!

💬 Bona | judge :
  I heard a producer curse earlier, so it's definetly fine! How's Jisoo by the way?

💬 Lisa | dance mentor :
  Oh, uh, she's doing great! 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
   Now, before you two start a conversation, let's introduce our second dance mentor!

[another person walks in, the camera following them as they sit down next to Lisa.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  It's no other than THE8 of SEVENTEEN! Welcome!

💬 THE8 | dance mentor :
  Hello! I'm Xu Minghao of SEVENTEEN, I'm very happy to be a dance mentor here at CRUSH!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  I've heard that your younger sister is going to be on this show, is that true? 

💬 THE8 | dance mentor :
 As far as I'm aware, yes she is!

[a few of the other mentors and the judges can be heard gasping at this]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Woah...! Does she know that you're a mentor?

💬 THE8 | dance mentor :
  Ah, no she doesn't, I couldn't tell her. 

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
  Oh dude, that's harsh. 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
 It really is! 

💬 THE8 | dance mentor :
  Yeah... 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Well, let's introduce the rest of the mentors, so that you can see her soon!

[the camera focuses on another person that walks in, they seem pretty tall and they have pretty short hair. they walk and sit down next to THE8 with a smile on their face.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Welcome K LU of FANXYRED and THE9! We are thrilled to have you here!

💬 K LU | rap mentor :
Hey! I'm Lu Jie or Lu Keran, also known as K or K LU, nice to meet you all! I'm going to be one of the rap mentors!

💬 Kiki Xu | judge :
  Ayee! Hi Keke!

💬 THE8 | dance mentor :
  Hey hyu- hyung? or noona? I'm sorry- or are you even older than me? Sorry-

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
  I think they're older than us? But, uh, noona or hyung?

💬 Xuan Yi | judge :
 I think it'd be oppa... or unnie? 

[K LU starts laughing at the other people trying to figure out their gender, Kiki Xu, IU and Lisa also giggling along.]

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
  Yah! What's so funny?

💬 THE8 | dance mentor :
  Yeah! We just want to adress them correctly!

💬 K LU | rap mentor :
Sorry for laughing, I just find it so funny that I actually appear that androgynous to you!

💬 THE8 | dance mentor :
So? Noona or hyung?

💬 K LU | rap mentor :
  Noona, I'm your noona.

💬 THE8 | dance mentor :
  Well, then I guess I can ask what I wanted to ask, where in China are you from, noona?

💬 K LU | rap mentor :
  Oh..! I'm from Nanjing, how did you know I was chinese?

💬 THE8 | dance mentor : 
  I guessed you were from your name!

💬 K LU | rap mentor :
  Ahh, okay!

💬 Lisa | dance mentor :
  Well, uh, it's nice seeing you again Keran-noona!

💬 K LU | rap mentor :
   It's nice seeing you too Lisa!

💬 THE8 | dance mentor :
   I-

💬 K LU | rap mentor :
 Sorry Minghao-sunbaenim, but before we keep talking, let's just- let's let IU-nim continue doing mc-stuff, we can talk more later!

[K LU chuckled awkwardly and nodded towards IU, who bowed slightly as a "thank you".]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  Thank you K! I should've interrupted you guys, but I just couldnt, it was nice hearing you talk! We should introduce our last mentor, the second rap mentor, welcome in!

[once again the camera follows a person walking into the room and sitting down on the couch, next to K LU.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  This is Mingi of ATEEZ!

💬 Mingi | rap mentor :  
  Hello you guys! I'm Song Mingi of ATEEZ, it feels great to be here! I heard I'm the youngest one, is that true?

💬 IU | mc / judge :
 You are the youngest one in this room, yes! And the oldest one here is me-

💬 Baekhyun | vocal mentor :
 IU-sunbae! I'm the oldest one here, don't you remember your own age?

💬 IU | mc / judge :
 Oh, right, sorry oppa! Baekhyun-oppa is the oldest one here, he's a 92-liner. 

💬 Mingi | rap mentor :
 Woah, nice! I'm happy to be the youngest one here, I guess!

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  You should be! Actually, the second youngest one here is Mark, you two are actually just about a week apart in age!

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
  Oh dude- that's cool!

💬 Mingi | rap mentor :
  Yeah, it honestly is!

[the camera then shifts so that IU once again is in focus, Siyeon as well as Wendy can also be seen since they're both sitting at the edges closest to IU.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  That was the mentors, and judges, of CRUSH! Before I keep following my cards I have to add in this last part, 'cause someone forgot to add it to the script...

[IU jokingly glared towards someone behind the camera, probably the producer who wrote the script for her.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
    There are going to be a few visiting idols throughout the time of the show. They'll be temporary mentors and they'll help our beloved trainees improve. Now, back to my script.

[IU carefully cleared her throat before continuing.]

💬 IU | mc / judge :
      As you might've heard, we will not be calling them judges or mentors, no, we will be calling them something different.

💬 Mark | judge / semi-host :
    And for judges, like me and Siyeon-noona, that something will be "CUPID" or "CUPIDS" depending on if its in plural or not. 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  The reason behind that being, well, as many probably know the mythical creature called "CUPID" is kind of like a matchmaker, and since the judges will be both judging and setting up who should be where, we felt like it'd be fitting. K LU-nim, would you like to introduce what the mentors will be called?

💬 K LU | rap mentor :
  Of course sunbaenim! Us mentors will be called "NYMPHS", for example, I'm a rap-nymph whilst Minghao-sunbae is a dance-nymph and Wendy-sunbae is a vocal-nymph. 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  And why will you be called "NYMPHS"?

💬 K LU | rap mentor :
  Oh! That's because the mythical creatures called "NYMPH" were associated with, among other things, healing. And that's what us mentors will be trying to do, we'll be trying to help the trainees get better, help them improve, and we'll be trying our best to help them overcome the hardships they'll face in this show. 

💬 IU | mc / judge :
  That was beautiful! Let's introduce the trainees then!

oh and ,, what did you think of this chapter?

also, just FYI, the trainees have NOT been introduced to the judges/mentors yet, and it'll be a lil bit before they're actually introduced to them. (the mentors at least-)
