"T-Hi!"

"Today, we are doing a segment called AMAZING TREASURE. We have fun music games in store!" Yedam announced, and everyone cheered, getting the tension up for the game.

Everyone was handed a notebook and a marker, and were explained the rules of the game. They had a practice round, and 'RE'BYE' by their senior artist, AKMU, was played and Eunbyul's eyes immediately lit up, confident in the challenge.

After Chanhyuk's rap ended, everyone looked confused, and only Eunbyul was writing the lyrics as quickly as she could, trying to get the correct spellings. Struggling with reaching the time limit, the female wrote the lyrics in Korean romanization at the bottom of the page, taking her time in writing the Korean alphabets later.

Eunbyul was lost in her world and didn't pay attention to the game. As the staff was about to repeat the song, they saw the youngest writing something on her book. They questioned her about it, but she didn't hear them.

Hyunsuk and Mashiho who were sitting on either side of her tapped on her shoulder, while Yedam exclaimed as he peeked at her book. "She has written the lyrics in English!" He stated, and the female covered her book before scrunching her face at the older.

"Did you get the answer, Eunbyul?" The staff asked, getting a nod from the younger.

"I actually practiced this song for YGTB because it showed a lot of techniques, so I am very confident about my answer!" She explained, showing her answer to the staff secretly as they nodded, signaling her lyrics were right.

"Then you have successfully passed this challenge. But we'll have to check the boys."

Eunbyul nodded, looking over her shoulder as Doyoung spoke. "Can she say the rap once instead of playing the song again? Because her accent and pronunciation are different, maybe we can figure something out," he suggested, getting immediate nods from the staff.

The brunette snapped her fingers, thinking of the melody in her head as she rapped the part as she normally would have, not even changing her accent even though she badly wanted to. The boys stared at her in awe, simply clapping after she finished, unable to get a single syllable out of it.

"We were too immersed into her rapping that we forgot to write it down," Jihoon defended, giving his signature eye-smile to the camera.

After failing the first and last round with just one syllable out of place, TREASURE moved onto the next segment where each member of the group had to come forward and they gave a challenge at a random.

Eunbyul's solo challenge was a random cover dance of the songs that would be played, and all the teams showed the red sides, depicting they agreed she would pass the challenge.

'SOLO' by Jennie, 'Fantastic Baby' by BIGBANG and 'Killing Me' by iKON played, and Eunbyul nailed all the dances, passing the challenge in a breeze.

"They don't call her YG's ace for nothing!" Jihoon stated, and the female immediately shook her head, trying to stay humble when the boys kept complimenting her.

Mashiho nodded in agreement. "Her name is always at the top during monthly evaluations. When we first came into the company for YGTB, we saw the huge board near the office," he explained, getting nods from all the Japanese boys.

"Our interpreter read the names, and he came to the female trainees, and the first name he said was Park Eunbyul, Yoshida Hoshi," Haruto added with a smile.

Yoshi continued when Haruto gestured him to do so. "We thought that the second place for monthly evaluations was a female trainee called Yoshida Hoshi, but then the interpreter said that the trainee was half-Japanese and half-Korean."

"We felt so proud at that moment, because we had just landed at YG Entertainment in Korea, and the first thing we hear is that a Japanese trainee was placed first in the monthly evaluations. It gave us some sort of encouragement," Asahi stated, causing Eunbyul to smile and bow out of politeness.

"Let's just move on to the next segment, please."

As they munched on their rice crackers, TREASURE moved onto the third segment which was relay singing. When the music stopped, the members had to continue the song while singing one line from the verse.

Since Eunbyul — as the boys said — was YG's ace, she had no issues in singing the lyrics to complete the song, but it was always another member who messed it up for the team. They played a lot of songs, telling everyone that the best ones would make the cut, and it surprised the staff to see that Eunbyul easily sang everything, despite struggling to speak Korean at times.

"You sing Korean better than you speak it, Byul-ah!" Their manager commented, gaining laughter from all the boys because what he said was true.

"Ah, Manager oppa. Don't say stuff like that," Eunbyul whined, playfully glaring at the older male.

The fourth segment was 'Dance Talk' where the members pass on a dance to the last member who will guess the title of the song and its singer. Eunbyul was in Team Laptop Come, and I placed her at the end since she had a lot of knowledge about YG artists and their songs.

"Oh, does Star know this song?" Hyunsuk thought out loud, seeing the song on the paper. Regardless, he gave a one-on-one lesson to Junkyu, who then passed on the dance to Doyoung to Yoshi, who finally did the dance to Eunbyul.

"Cutiepie, please get this right!" Yoshi pleaded before doing the dance. Eunbyul pretended to look confused, and all the boys accepted their defeat, not seeing the wide smile on the younger's face.

"GD-sunbaenim's One of a Kind," she answered, jumping in her place as she heard the bell noise, signaling they were right.

'BOOMBAYAH' was a song they passed easily, and once again, Hyunsuk was conflicted as he came across the next song, wondering if the youngest knew it. He knew she didn't listen to hard-hitting artists like that, and the boys rarely let her listen to much of their senior's songs since they contained mature lyrics and curses.

It was a ban they had put after Eunbyul asked them what 'era moreugettda' meant after she listened to FXXK IT by BIGBANG. It just came on shuffle while they were in the room and didn't think of changing it until the youngest questioned them on what it meant.

BIGBANG and 2NE1 songs were a huge no-no when Eunbyul was around — even though she listened to them on her own — and they played only the censored BLACKPINK songs whenever the female was present in the room.

"Oh, 'The Baddest Female' by CL-sunbaenim!" Eunbyul answered, clapping as the boys looked at her in shock, not knowing that despite their bans, the younger still had a lot of knowledge about their senior artists and their songs.

The shooting ended as quickly as they started, and everyone gave their comments about the activities they did, ending the shoot with smiles and laughs.

"T-Bye!"

Until next time, TREASURE MAKERS!
