JYP made a sudden entrance, greeting the trainees with a simple, "So hello, trainees." Behind him were six staff members, two of whom were holding cameras. All the trainees immediately stood upright at the sight of the CEO.
"Here's some exciting news! Out of the 21 trainees, 13 of you will be able to debut. And the big news is that Jun-Pyo will debut this time. The point threshold has been lowered from 900+ to 250, which means some trainees who scored below 30 points will not make the cut. For those of you still in the running, this is a golden opportunity—typically, we don't accept anyone with less than 200 points.
There will be a survival show, where your performances will determine your points. The 13 of you will be split into 2 groups. The group with the highest total points will be the one that gets to debut. However, be aware that there will be an eviction process each week, where members could be eliminated from your group and sent home.
You have 45 minutes to choose your group members, and 24 hours to decide on your roles within the group. Good luck!"
With those words, JYP left the room. One of the staff handed Jun-Pyo a sheet of paper before following him out. The trainees gathered around Jun-Pyo, eager to see if their names appeared on the selected list, despite already knowing their scores.
Young-woo pushed the other weak trainees and took the paper. She then read out the names -
Park Jun-Pyo
Everyone cheered.

Kim-Joon

The eight rejected trainees fled the room in tears. "I faced rejection like that for years before I made it here. Why are they overreacting?" Jun-Pyo said to me.
"People handle rejection in different ways," I said, trying to sound calm, though inside I was practically buzzing with excitement. I got in! And so did my roommates! Bursting with energy, I sprinted out, heading straight for the SKZ practice room to find Chan and Felix so I could share the news. But when I opened the door, I walked right into Minsung, who were very passionately caught up in each other.
I didn't want to disturb them, so I slipped out of the room quietly. Chan and Felix can wait; I'm not about to interrupt this modern-day Romeo and Juliet. I walked back into the trainee practise room and realised everyone looked like they were waiting for me...
