“1, 2, 3… ACTION!”

“We haven’t even started filming and I already feel stressed.” Yoo Jae-suk said and let out a sigh while from the side, Dex raised his hand. “I heard one of the idols requested protein powder, skincare fridges, and emergency ramen stock.”

“FIRST MEMBER!” “Performance genius! TXT’s all-rounder ace, Yeonjun!”

Yeonjun walked in confidently like he was entering a runway, “You dressed up for suffering?” Dex asked.

“You suffer better when you look expensive,” Yeonjun answered immediately making the hosts already regret everything.

“NEXT!” “Leader of chaos disguised as emotional support… 4th Gen best leader, Bang Chan!”

Bang Chan entered laughing while greeting everyone warmly. “I already know I’m gonna end up cooking for everyone."

“Correct,” Yoo Jae-suk answered instantly while Dex sighed in relief. “Finally. An emotionally stable person.” The editors instantly added:

[THIS STATEMENT WILL AGE POORLY.]

“NEXT!” “SEVENTEEN’S giant puppy himself… Mingyu!”

Mingyu walked in confidently—and immediately almost slipped. The room erupted.

“HE’S ALREADY FAILING.” “Not even thirty seconds!”

“The floor attacked me first.” Mingyu pointed at the floor dramatically.

"Alright just move- NEXT!" “ITZY’s charismatic queen! Ryujin!”

Ryujin entered looking way too calm for the chaos around her. She took one look at the cast and sighed. “This feels exhausting already.”

“You’re correct,” Bang Chan nodded.

“NEXT!” “TWICE’s sunshine and fake maknae… Nayeon!”

Nayeon entered smiling brightly while immediately causing half the room to stand up respectfully. Mingyu fixed his posture instantly. The editors zoomed in aggressively.

[MEN DETECTED ACTING NORMAL.]

"NEXT!" “ENHYPEN’S mood-maker… Sunoo!”

Sunoo entered dramatically waving at every camera like a Disney prince. “I’m here to survive and look cute.”

“Only one of those will happen,” Ryujin said immediately. Then the energy changed again.

"NEXT!" “GLOBAL IT GIRL! QUEEN OF KPOP IT SELF, THE AWARD WINNING, CHARISMATIC, CAT EYE- okay okay- BLACKPINK’S Jennie!”

Bangchan lamely pushed Mingyu away to make space for Jennie to stand next to him while the editors zoomed in aggressively.

[MEN DETECTED ACTING NORMAL. 0.2 (or weirder]

Jennie entered casually in an hoodie while the entire studio somehow got louder. Even the cast looked slightly intimidated.

"LAST BUT NOT LEAST!" “Monster rookie, The solo idol who gained a terrifyingly large fandom in less than a year… Zoey!"

Zoey walked in—and immediately Yeonjun stood up dramatically.

“YAH.You ignored my birthday message.” Zoey pointed instantly “I WAS ON TOUR.”

*Yeonjun just stood up and proudly wrapped an arm around Zoey’s shoulder. “We’re best friends.” “Unfortunately,” Zoey added.

Even Jennie laughed quietly at that. Then Zoey finally turned toward Jennie properly. And there it was again— That soft “I know you: smile.

“We finally talk properly.” Jennie said with a smile making Zoey smiled back.

“We’ve been doing NPC greetings for like three years.” Jennie immediately laughed harder. The editors zoomed in like their lives depended on it.

[FIRST REAL CONVERSATION.] [CHEMISTRY DETECTED.]

“Now… your official teams." Dex said the giant screen split into black and red.

TEAM BLACK : Bang Chan, Zoey, Jennie, Yeonjun

“That team is terrifying.” TEAM RED : Mingyu, Ryujin, Nayeon, Sunoo

Nayeon clapped immediately. “Oh we’re either winning everything or getting distracted every five minutes- Mostly distracted,” Ryujin corrected.

"ALRIGHT STOP BICKERING- first let's introduce ourselves and get into small talk before we get into the game details and everything." Dex said quickly Yoo Jae-suk smiled and showed the seats to the idols making them follow him like a school of children getting into the school bus.

"Let's start with the Youngest, Zoey!"
