d of time, flying to several Southeast Asian countries every few days. He truly became an air nomad.It flew for almost half a month.…………Hello, teachers. My name is Minami Mamei from Osaka, and I am A0...It's said to be M studio, but it's actually a broadcasting studio under CJ&EM, located in Sangam-dong, Mapo District. It's usually used for the filming and production of some variety shows, and the recording of "Sixteen" took place here.

"This is Jingyuan's side."

Ji Chang Wook and Park Jae-hyun were just stepping in when they were greeted by a JYP staff member who was enthusiastically waiting for them. He greeted them warmly, Ji Chang Wook smiled and chatted with him for a few words, then followed the other person who took the lead towards the elevator, without responding to the curious glances cast at them from all around.

Because he was recording a show, he had gone to the salon for a styling beforehand. His medium-length black hair was slightly messy, and the fringe in front of his forehead was gently lifted to reveal most of his forehead. Since it was a variety show, he didn't wear elaborate stage makeup, just simply covered a little, making him look clean and natural without any unnecessary embellishments.

A deep blue hooded denim jacket lined with a pure white round-neck shirt, the slightly long hat rope swaying as it walks. Paired with light-colored trousers and white canvas shoes, the overall style leans towards casual with a hint of trendy sporty feel. Looking at it, it doesn't seem like the hottest idol right now, but rather a college student out for a spring outing.

A plump, blue figure wearing a bib was hidden behind a coat, solemnly saluting forward. This detail added a humorous contrast to the overall look.

This lining is one of his favorite pieces of clothing. If it doesn't work when we record, he can just button up his jacket and cover it.

"This time, the recording of was in a studio built on the underground level..."

"This place should be pretty familiar, right"

All along the way, the staff were proactively introducing him. Facing their chatter, Chi Jingyuan glanced at the "Sixteen" program stand placed in front after getting off the elevator. Looking at the narrow and cramped corridor beside it, he lightly nodded.

This place feels very familiar. I've been here many times over the years for various shows. Most of the places under nt's banner have a similar decoration style. The narrow backstage is their signature style, and the corridor that's only three people wide is what Chi Jingyuan remembers most.

"President Park Jin-young is currently communicating with the program team and will be here soon."

"Okay, I understand."

"Good evening."

Nodding to the staff in thanks, Ji-seong walked into the lounge and sat down on the sofa. After Park Jaehyun closed the door, he took a bottle of mineral water out of his bag and handed it to Ji-seong. As he looked around the room, he commented, "JYP's side is pretty welcoming."

"That's always been the case."

Chi Jingyuan responded with a sound, took the mineral water and took a sip, then took out the program materials from his bag, leaned on the sofa and flipped through them.

The show "Sixteen" is a survival reality program for female idol auditions co-planned by JYP Company. A total of 16 female trainees participated in various training and assessments in singing, dancing, and other areas.

Each period, trainees with outstanding performance will be promoted to the "Major Group," while those with subpar performance will be demoted to the "Minor Group." Additionally, one trainee will be eliminated from the "Minor Group" each period.

The remaining seven members of the final group will debut as a new girl group under JYP.

The show is pretty harsh, but it's after all selecting a new girl group that could improve the company's bad situation, so being strict is also normal. Moreover, the overall process and format are quite innovative.

"Bang bang."

Before Park Bo Gum could even respond to the knock on the door, it was pushed open. Park Bo Gum sat up as IU peeked her head in and smiled upon seeing Ji Chang Wook. She nodded politely at him before stepping into the room.

"You're actually here as a judge"

Ji Jingyuan glanced at her. Her azure, pure face was framed by a fluffy blue sweater paired with jeans and high heels. The outfit was simple, yet it exuded a sense of fashion on Bae Suzy, looking very comfortable. Her slightly curled long hair cascaded down from both sides of her face, resting on her shoulders. Her makeup was delicate, and the pomegranate red lipstick added a touch of feminine charm.

He gestured towards the sofa beside him, nodding slightly to indicate that he was welcome to sit down. Then, tucking away the papers in his hands, he inquired with genuine interest.

This week's task for the "Underachievers" group is to challenge the "Achievers" group members in 1v1 solo battles. If they win, they can replace their opponent's position. If they lose, they fall into the "Underachievers" group and risk being eliminated.

And who wins and who loses is decided by the three people: two judges and Park Jin-young, minority follows the majority.

Before, I heard Park Jin-young say that he might ask Suzy Bae to be a judge for this episode, but when we chatted privately the other day, Suzy told him she didn't want to participate in the show. Unexpectedly, she ended up coming after all.
