EPISODE ONE.
( with SEOHYUN, NISHIYAMA KOTARO, D.O, SEHUN, NOH SEOKHOON, LEE SIYUN, TAEYANG )

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Seiyuu Academy Radio!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Seiyuu Radio, episode one!

AFTER GREETING THE AUDIENCE AT HOME IN ENGLISH, BOTH THE HOSTS HAPPILY CLAP THEIR HANDS WHILE THE RADIO'S JINGLE PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ I'm Seohyun, your lovely host!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ And I'm Nishiyama Kotaro! Thanks for having us both.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Today we're not alone, however! Can our first two guests briefly introduce themselves?

D.O [???] ━ Sure thing. I'm Do Kyungsoo, EXO's Main Vocalist and an established actor. Pleased to meet you.

OH SEHUN [???] ━ And I'm EXO's good-looking maknae, Oh Sehun!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ [giggling] Along with Seohyun, we do have some personalities in here huh...

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [giggling as well] You can't deny he is good-looking though, can you?

SEOHYUN CLAPS HER HANDS ONCE.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Now then! Would you like to explain our viewers from home what will be your role in SEIYUU ACADEMY?

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ Well... Unlike my initial predictions I'm taking a double role. Although I'll mostly be a vocal teacher in one of the classes, the production asked my help with acting classes as well.

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ I won't lie, it's tons of work, but I'll be fine. I hope the students and me can work well together.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Woah, how cool!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Mhm! I'm sure the students will treasure your teachings as well.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Sehun, what about you?

OH SEHUN [VISUAL TEACHER] ━ I'll hold public interaction lessons in all classes. I can't wait to work with the students! I'm sure they know most things, so this should be easy enough.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Don't jinx it! Rookie idols, rookie mistakes: you can never predict what goes on in their minds. There must be a reason why some of them don't even get alon-

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ [covering her mouth with his hands, panicked] Seohyun!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [looking at the staff] ... Was I not supposed to say that.

THE STAFF MEMBERS KEEP QUIET.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ See, Kotaro-kun! They don't mind!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ ...

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ By the way, this means you two will be working together! Aren't you happy?

SEHUN [VISUAL TEACHER] ━ Of course!

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ Not at all. [laughs]

SEHUN [VISUAL TEACHER] ━ Oh, come on now!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [giggles] How nice seeing both of you here, really!

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ You think so? I mean, Sehun forced me to join... I originally didn't plan to do this, especially because my Japanese is not the best, so I had to take extra lessons just for this interview...

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ You're doing just fine, though? Don't worry. Not that you'll need to speak Japanese during the program! None of the students know Japanese after all...

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Right! Now then, let's talk about the school and your relationships with your co-workers, shall we?

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ We should! I prepared some questions specifically for our guests today. Feel free to be as honest as you want!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ First of all, did you get to meet some of your co-workers already? Especially the acting teachers, since you didn't know them personally before.

SEHUN [VISUAL TEACHER] ━ Oh, yes. I think I met one of CLASS ONE's acting teachers in the school cafeteria once and he seemed nice.

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ Oh right, I know who you're talking about. He was very friendly and even complimented my broke Japanese... I just don't agree with him bringing alcohol to school.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Excuse me, he did WHAT.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ I think I might need to have a talk with Egu-

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [covering his mouth] You can't say his name!

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ [laughing] Roles have flipped, it seems.

SEHUN [VISUAL TEACHER] ━ [laughing along] And he immediately knew who we were talking about!

THE STAFF TAPS ON A PAPER.

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ Oh... They're very close co-workers and labelmates, I see.

OH SEHUN [VISUAL TEACHER] ━ Well, considering the labels partaking in this show I would've expected it.

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ You used your brain for once? I'm marking this date on the calendar.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ C'mon, now! [laughs] You're supposed to be a good example for the students, so be nice!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Talking about the students, aren't we introducing the first group of actors today? I'm sure they've waited more than enough outside the studio already, so let's give them a warm welcome.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Seohyun is right. Guys, come in!

THE DOOR OPENS AS THE TRAINEES DO AS THEY'RE TOLD.

WHO COULD THEY BE?

??? ━ Hello, we're POSTCARDS FROM MARS!

THE HOSTS, THE TEACHERS AND THE TRAINEES THEMSELVES CLAP THEIR HANDS.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Nice to see you here! There, come sit between me and Kotaro-kun.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ !?

??? ━ [sighs]

WHAT HAPPENED?

??? 2 ━ Hey, there! I want to sit next to Seohyun-sunbaenim, so move out of the way!

??? 3 ━ And...? Move your ass, Yunnie! I arrived first.

LEE SIYUN [#002] ━ ... How come you're rougher than usual, Seokhoon?

??? ━ Ahem.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ ...

??? ━ Excuse me, guys-

NOH SEOKHOON [#001] ━ I arrived first and I'm older, so I deserve to choose my seat first.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ ...

??? ━ ... Well, Seohyun-sunbaenim, can I sit here?

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Sure, Taeyang! Maybe that will make them shut up once and for all.

NOH SEOKHOON [#001] ━ ... Looks like neither of us is sitting there, after all.

LEE SIYUN [#002] ━ Yeah... [glares at TAEYANG, then sighs back at SEOKHOON] ... Want to sit here?

NOH SEOKHOON [#001] ━ Sure, why not. Thank you, Yunnie.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Now that we're settled, introduce yourselves separately!

NOH SEOKHOON [#001] ━ Good afternoon, listeners from home! I'm Noh Seokhoon, Kwak Doyun's actor in Strings Attached.

LEE SIYUN [#002] ━ I'm Ha Yeonwoo's actor from the same drama, Lee Siyun. Nice to meet everyone!

TAEYANG [#003] ━ And this is Taeyang, Kim Subin's actor also in Strings Attached. 

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Nice to meet you! I planned to watch the drama during these days, but I was unable to do so, I'm sorry... Seohyun, have you watched it yet?

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ I have! It wasn't anything extraordinary, if I have to be honest. The guys were actually better than expected, but the leads... It was clearly a test for rookies. The plot was also disorganized and the parts didn't reflect their reall skills at all.

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ I watched it as well. Extremely disappointing despite the interesting premise, but overall the other actors weren't that bad.

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ It was a horrible setup, if anything. The acting wasn't cohesive and they weren't trained properly. Too bad...

OH SEHUN [VISUAL TEACHER] ━ ... Are you guys sure we can say that live?

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ That's what I was wondering as well...!? Say something nice about it too!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ ... At least the OST was good.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ ...

LEE SIYUN [#002] ━ [whispering in NOH SEOKHOON's ear] Oh boy, he's so done.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Back to our previous topic... Listeners, prepare some questions for our first batch of trainees! In the meanwhile I'll ask a few other questions to our teachers.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Second question! How does the school look in your opinion? Is it a good place after all?

OH SEHUN [VISUAL TEACHER] ━ Oh, it is! There's a cafeteria and vending machines on both floors of the general building, and there's also quite a few training rooms any trainee can reserve to train on their own, or even with a few friends.

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ It also has two or three recording studios, as far as I know. I've visited one of them and it seems to be well equipped... Hopefully they'll be able to work well in here.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Mhm, indeed!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Uhm, Kotaro-kun... I think we should move on with the fanmails! We don't have much time left, and apparently our listeners sent us tons of them already...!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Oh, really...? What a pity! I wanted to know a bit more about the teachers since I don't know them personally, but I guess you're right. I'll start!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Our first fanmail is from... Uhm... Can I just skip the user...

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ ... stalkerichu? Seriously?

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ [awkward laughter] We have a Saku Uruha fan here, huh... Anyways, the question is the following one!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ "How come we don't know Taeyang's full name yet? Is there any reason for that?"

TAEYANG [#003] ━ ... To be honest, Taeyang isn't even my name in the first place.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ ... WHAT?

TAEYANG [#003] ━ [giggling] I have a matching stage name with my twin brother. It was his idea, actually. I'm the sun, Taeyang, and he's the moon, Yuèliàng.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ That's such a cute thing, if you ask me...!

LEE SIYUN [#002] ━ Why in Chinese for him, though?

TAEYANG [#003] ━ ... Why are you asking if you know the reason?

NOH SEOKHOON [#001] ━ I guess he wants you to announce it publicly. [chuckles]

TAEYANG [#003] ━ Well, we're half Chinese and half Korean. We lived in Italy for most of our lives, howe- Wait, why is this only about me. Ask something to those two too!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Fine, fine! Seohyun, read the next one!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Sure thing! Next question comes from... pukapukalover... [giggles] Kotaro-kun, it seems like your fans are tuning in just for you!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ [laughing] I noticed. Thank you!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ "How close are the three of you in real life? Your characters were initially enemies and turned into friends only by the end of the show. How close were you before shootings?"

LEE SIYUN [#002] ━ We're in a polycule!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ [chokes]

NOH SEOKHOON [#001] ━ Yunnie!

TAEYANG [#003] ━ [laughing in embarrassment] Come on, Siyun!

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [containing herself from laughing] P-please...!

LEE SIYUN [#002] ━ Jokes aside, we clicked very well since the real beginning. Seokhoon is a crackhead under the disguise of the quiet guy, and don't get me started with Taeyang! He's a real cutie whenever we're by ourselv-

NOH SEOKHOON [#001] ━ ... He has no filter at all.

TAEYANG [#003] ━ I wouldn't say that. [giggling] He's just bolder than us.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ [giggling along] I noticed that. But it's nice to see you get along! Well, I mean, the acting joint was your proposal, so one would expect that... But no one knows what happens behind the scenes most of the times! And I think you guys are much more genuine than the idols nowadays.

NOH SEOKHOON [#001] ━ I'm glad, I'm glad.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ We should have enough time for one or two other questions, right?

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Yes! Maybe just one, since our teachers will have to go soon, and I'm sure the trainees need to rest a little as well.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ Mhm, right! This one by sharkfan88 should do. [laughs]

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ "Is Taeyang's twin brother the 100bpm member under the name Yuèliàng? They're mentioned to be among the contestants, so I was wondering if we'll get to see the two of you interact on screen!"

TAEYANG [#003] ━ ... Why are we back to me again.

NOH SEOKHOON [#001] ━ I'm more surprised knowing they dug that far... Didn't you two choose to go by stage names for privacy reasons? That's wild...

LEE SIYUN [#002] ━ Yeah, right?

TAEYANG [#003] ━ Well, I suppose I can say it at this point. [sighs] Yeah, he is. Although we love each other and support our careers, however, don't go after him just because of me and vice versa. 

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Right, right. It's important to establish boundaries between public figures and their fans, after all.

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ I wholeheartedly agree! Your safety comes first.

SEOHYUN [HOST] ━ Well then! This wraps up Episode One of SEIYUU ACADEMY RADIO. We can't wait to talk to you in the future episodes as well! I hope you enjoyed meeting our teachers and students today. Can I hear a final message for the fans, please?

D.O [VOCAL TEACHER] ━ We can't wait to start. Make sure to follow the show until the very end, and vote for your favorite.

OH SEHUN [VISUAL TEACHER] ━ Your vote matters! Please support your favorites until they make it.

ALL ━ Thanks for having us!

NISHIYAMA KOTARO [HOST] ━ And stay tuned, here on...

HOSTS ━ Seiyuu Academy Radio!
