Although it was called ‘mentor evaluation,’ in reality, it was about identifying prospective trainees and those with no potential through the psychology of lining up in advance.
‘The MC can’t directly say that.’
“To support the trainees, please send your cheers, Star Shooters!”
After finishing the explanation, Choi Gaon spread his arms wide and shouted.
“Now, let’s welcome the mentors who will be with us from the boys’ first stage to the last stage! Mentors, please come in!”
From Min Si Young, Na Ji Hyuk, Moon Yun Ha to Jin Dasol.
As they safely took their seats as mentors, Choi Gaon smiled brightly and spoke to them.
“Mentors, soon you will meet the boys waiting nervously behind the stage. Before that, could you please introduce yourselves and share your determination for today’s evaluation with the viewers?”
Singer Min Si Young and rapper Na Ji Hyuk, seasoned in the broadcast industry, spoke briefly and professionally.
Skill, eagerness, and possibilities.
And, fairness, fairness, and more fairness.
The issue was the two controversial judges.
“I’ll let the others take care of the fairness, so I’ll just look at the members who fit my aesthetic, because they’re the ones I’ll keep watching.”
What Moon Yun Ha, a confident-looking woman with long hair hanging down her back, said as soon as she took the microphone was, quite literally, unconventional.
It hadn’t even been officially announced that Moon Yun Ha would be managing the group’s debut on Survivor, but Moon Yun Ha showed no hesitation.
She was the kind of person who seemed to say what she was thinking as soon as it came out of her mouth.
Jindasol, on the other hand, was dressed head to toe in black.
“I’ll watch, I’ll think.”
…That’s it?
“Cut! Okay, I’m going to cut you off for a second, Ms. Yun Ha, Mr. Dasol, may I have a moment?”
The main PD tried to get a few more cuts from them, but they were both so stubborn that they just kept saying variations of what they had already said time and time again.
My way is like this, and being reserved is like this.
Everyone in the studio, excluding those two, could feel it.
The upcoming shoots wouldn’t be easy.
And that wasn’t much different for the trainees waiting backstage.

It’s survival because you don’t know what’s going to happen.
I might have gotten in last time, but this time I might not.
In the previous Targeting Star, I finished in the final six and joined Arrows with such hard work it was like doing pull-ups. So, it couldn’t help but be tense.
As I chewed my lip while watching the other trainees perform, Kim Joo An, who was standing in the distance, shifted his feet and came to my side.
Confirming there were no cameras, Kim Joo An spoke so only I could hear.
“Hey, Kim Chunyong.”
“Don’t say useless things and go loosen up your throat somewhere.”
Even with my warm advice, Kim Joo An didn’t back down.
