── | 𖦹 the video starts with the view of what looks like a minimalistic living room, big enough for everyone attending this meeting. footsteps and chatters can be heard in the background as people enter and take their seats. behind the cameras, the two ukiyo ceos, lim hankyeo and yoo junho are already suffering with the chaos caused.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] ??? : ★
⠀⠀╰─ what's happening? why were we called here on our day off?
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JUNHO : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / laughing nervously / only because none of you wanted to stay up late for this..
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HANKYEO : ★
⠀⠀╰─ you didn't want to stay either, junho─ / rolling his eyes / it's also our day off, remember?
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] ??? : ★
⠀⠀╰─ so? will you tell us? or should we go just home?
── | 𖦹 the screen eventually shows the majority of the ukiyo creative mentors seated in order; PAENG OHSEONG, KIM SUHYEOK, JODIE HAN, EUN HYESEOK, RYLAN SHIN, BANG CHINHAE, better known as KAIYO, LEE NA-RAE AND TIANA CHANG. some of them look excited while others impatient as they wait to know more details about today's content.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JUNHO : ★
⠀⠀╰─ right, kyeo, you tell them ! don't worry, it's actually something fun !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HANKYEO : ★
⠀⠀╰─ q&a ! today's content is a q&a with questions for all of you to answer !
── | 𖦹 everyone claps and cheers in excitement ─ glad that they're at least not wasting their day off there for something boring.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HANKYEO : ★
⠀⠀╰─ for this, we'll randomly choose a question out of a pool of thirty of them and you're free to answer, okay?
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] ALL OF THE MENTORS : ★
⠀⠀╰─ YES !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JUNHO : ★
⠀⠀╰─ then let's proceed. please show us the first question !
── | 𖦹 more cheers follow just as the screen before them displays the first question of this session.
── | 𖦹 the mentors exchange looks among them, some feeling a little bit more worried than the rest at the sight of this question.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] NARAE ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ woah ! are we really starting with this-?
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] RYLAN ( v. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─/ raising his hand, trying to remain serious / i would rather remain silent !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] OHSEONG ( r. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ the only tea here is how these two keep treating me like i'm way older ! / he sighs and points at mentors RYLAN and KAIYO giving them the most intense side eye of his life─ /
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] KAIYO ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ BECAUSE YOU ARE ! / proceeds to high five RYLAN as they agree, knowing very well they will never let him catch a break /
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] SUHYEOK ( a. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ kids these days...
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] OHSEONG ( r. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ i swear you two─
── | 𖦹 producers HYESEOK and JODIE enjoy the chaos unfolding, laughing as they know they are both safe from being exposed like their fellow mentors.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HANKYEO : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / behind the camera / moving on, here is question number two !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] TIANA ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ ah this one is a difficult one. i think our three former idols are more suitable to answer this ! / gesturing for KAIYO, OHSEONG and RYLAN to speak up and give a word of advice /
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] RYLAN ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ right, well i don't think this an easy path. i was the last one to debut among us, and it took lots of sacrifices to make it. / looking at KAIYO next to him, who nods his head in a reassuring way / but since you are here, you should be sure this is what you really want to follow. especially since the beginning is full of hardships and we can't guarantee anything.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] RYLAN ( v. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ but we still made sure to suggest ideas to make it less difficult for everyone. trainings in groups so everyone can meet each other and make friends, a day off for all of us under ukiyo ─ working or training ─ to rest, free time before and after practice, breaks in between...
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] SUHYEOK ( a. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ not sure about what the advice is here─ but everyone, remember to work hard and rest lots ! when you feel like struggling, us mentors will always be here to talk and try to guide you.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JODIE ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / unable to contain her laughter / i think they're trying to guarantee their screen time already !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HYESEOK ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ right, one talks about himself and the other reveals all of the inside details─
── | 𖦹 KAIYO and RYLAN playfully argue with the two producers as the other three are trying to calm everyone down. with this, the image on the screen fades to black before displaying the next question.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] NARAE ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ who would like to go first? nevermind, i doubt half of you can count, so i will ! / taking some time to think / chaotic, creative, fun ?
── | 𖦹 TIANA and SUHYEOK are quick to agree with NARAE, stating that they would give similar answers, but also with the fact that the department leaders share one braincell that can barely get them through this content.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] OHSEONG ( r. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ lots of babysitting !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] KAIYO ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ BEST TEAM LEADER !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] RYLAN ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / already on the floor, laughing way too much, even the video editors have no idea what he found so funny─ / i wanna resign !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JODIE ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / talking to the ceos, trying to be heard over the rest of the mentors' laughters / they're so unserious, are you sure you want them working for you?
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HYESEOK ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ can we move to the next question?
── | 𖦹 per HYESEOK's request, the next question finally shows, and one thing is for sure; it's about to stir some more chaos among them.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HYESEOK ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ are we only supposed to choose from those present here?
── | 𖦹 both of the ceos nod behind the cameras.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HYESEOK ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ then, i think RYLAN? i used to train as a vocalist so...
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] RYLAN ( v. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / smiles and gives HYESEOK a light head pat / i would choose hyseok, i'm already spending time with him and jodie at the studio sometimes, so i want to learn more from them.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] TIANA ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ for me, i think i would choose narae. her dance style is different than mine, so trying out something new and learning even more would be nice.
── | 𖦹 NARAE sends a heart like that 🫶 to TIANA, who is quick to return it happily.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] NARAE ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ TIANA. i can't choose myself and she's the only normal in the dance department.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JODIE ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ OHSEONG, i would choose him. i already specialize in rap as well, so i'd choose it as my main department if i was a trainee.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] OHSEONG ( r. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ JODIE and HYESEOK too, since i'm also interested in producing. that hasn't changed ever since i was a trainee myself.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] SUHYEOK ( a. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ well i'm the only acting mentor and the modeling mentors are busy... / disappointed that the people he wanted to choose aren't here since they have personal schedules to attend /
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] KAIYO ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / sulking / they didn't choose me so why should i choose them?
── | 𖦹 everyone immediately bursts into laughter at the department leader's reaction. RYLAN rubs his back softly to comfort him while the rest of the mentors are wiping away literal tears, knowing they would never be brave enough to choose any of his classes. it's okay, they still love him, it's all for entertainment purposes only !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] RYLAN ( v. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ you can't be asking that ! we just debuted our first girlgroup─ ! / his eyes widen the more frustrated he gets over this question /
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] KAIYO ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ i've never seen him like this, not even when we didn't get to buy him ice cream─
── | 𖦹 it's now his turn to move closer to try and calm down RYLAN, while HYESEOK passes him a bottle of water. at the same time, behind the cameras, the two ceos are looking scared and stressed about the future of their plans, as they aren't supposed to see the light outside of their draft files just yet.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] KAIYO ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ ukiyo just debuted the first ever group, AELIA. according to HANKYEO and JUNHO, it's a group important for the ukiverse and its lore, because the girls are supposed t─
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] SUHYEOK ( a. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / going into complete panic mode / okay okay, cut ! this is enough, you aren't supposed to be spoiling !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JODIE ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / side eyes KAIYO / because the girls are supposed to enjoy their debut, promotions and attention from everyone who is part of the ukiyo family !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] OHSEONG ( r. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / sighs in relief / they all spent lots of time preparing their first mini album and participating in the making of the music too.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] NARAE ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ working with the girls ever since the beginning was lovely, and i'm so excited for everything they and we have to show !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] KAIYO ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / laughing awkwardly / right, so support AELIA, stream the music videos and stages and buy the album if you can afford it ! we'll show you more of our artists in the near future, so please wait patiently !
── | 𖦹 with everyone finally calmed down and all spoilers avoided thanks to acting mentor SUHYEOK and producer JODIE, everyone is ready to move on to the next question.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] SUHYEOK ( a. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ are we really allowed to talk about favorites-? / looks at both team leaders and the ceos /
── | 𖦹 all four of them just shrug, leaving it up to each individual to decide if they would like to reveal their personal favorites.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] OHSEONG ( r. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / looking extremely proud of his department / well for me, it's all of my rap trainees! they never give me a hard time and work hard, so i favor them a lot and often treat them to tasty food during breaks!
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JODIE ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ i think we all have favorites, but for me, it's definitely the ones who showed interest in learning how to produce and come back often to keep practising and learn more and more. i already see some of them having credits in the album tracks.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HYESEOK ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / nods in agreement to JODIE's answer / the hardworking ones sure have a spot as favorites, but their personality is what sets them apart from the rest for me.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] SUHYEOK ( a. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ quite a few of them have also showed interest in acting. they're either there to pursue acting or try and give it a chance, more like a side skill. i can't say i have favorites though, they all are as long as they aren't giving me a hard time teaching!
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] NARAE ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ i think TIANA and KAIYO will agree with me on this, but the passion i see in some of them really makes me separate them from the rest. it's obvious that they really want to be here and they are serious about what they want to achieve.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] TIANA ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ exactly. these are the ones we really want to see debut and go far in the industry and if we can help in any way, then we are more than willing to do so.
── | 𖦹 KAIYO and RYLAN simply nod at everyone's replies, finding their answers satisfying and feeling like the rest of the mentors already spoke on their behalf as well.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JUNHO : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / literally standing there looking like a proud parent / awhh look at you all agree for once !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HYESEOK ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ let's just point to the one we choose on three.
── | 𖦹 everyone agrees with the producer's idea enthusiastically and the two ukiyo ceos volunteer to be the ones to do the count down, for the sake of content, of course !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HANKYEO & JUNHO : ★
⠀⠀╰─ 3 ! 2 ! 1 !
── | 𖦹 nobody is prepared for the amount of chaos caused by the mentors once again pointing at each other, shouting and getting either excited when picked or sulking when they aren't in anyone's choices.
── | 𖦹 for screentime purposes, here is a summary of how the mentors chose this time !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] RYLAN ( v. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ these are all so predictable!?
── | 𖦹 this is enough to earn him a side eye from NARA; finally someone who isn't KAIYO entering her radar !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] OHSEONG ( r. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ you literally chose your best friend, but what about me? what about the ice cream?
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] JODIE ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ suddenly i'd like to change my pick... you're always arguing so much! i think suhyeok, since he can actually have peaceful moments.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] SUHYEOK ( a. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ you actually get used to them. most of the department meetings are always like that, to be honest!
── | 𖦹 SUHYEOK, definitely a mentor full of patience when it comes to dealing with the younger ones !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] KAIYO ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / noticing the production team ─ aka the ceos ─ signaling that they need to keep the content going / well, since our picks make sense, shall we move on? they're signaling that the broadcast will end soon-
── | 𖦹 KAIYO's small speech is cut off as the screen changes to display the next and last question.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] OHSEONG ( r. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ i think we are all pretty close, considering how much time we spend at the company. of course there are smaller groups of friends formed, but it doesn't mean we don't get along with everyone else!
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] SUHYEOK ( a. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ exactly! like for AELIA's debut, we spent so many hours discussing about the concept and connection to the lore, and just as many hours filming with almost everyone present to review the content we had and agree to the final result. even if we weren't very close until then, getting coffee or having meals together, definitely made us bond more.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] RYLAN ( v. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ right, not getting along would make it so difficult to work well...
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] KAIYO ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ even NARAE actually likes me deep down!
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] NARAE ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ very deep down-
── | 𖦹 everyone bursts out laughing once again ( they're already getting these abs from laughter ! ), being very used to the constant bickering between the two dance mentors.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] TIANA ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ but even so, there are still new additions to the mentors team, so i think we all can agree that we hope we can get along well with everyone in the future.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] NARAE ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ well said, us arguing is just because we are comfortable with each other and still make sure don't cross the line.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] HYESEOK ( producer ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ then, since this is tour last question, should we end the video and say goodbye?
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] KAIYO ( d. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ okay, well, that's all for today's vid-
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] OHSEONG ( r. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ / laughing after hearing the same ending used in all of KAIYO's vlogs / i think someone else should do the ending ment this time!
── | 𖦹 KAIYO side eyes OHSEONG, but thankfully, SUHYEOK is the one to step in and stop them from yet another argument ─ litrally after they agreed that they get along well !
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] SUHYEOK ( a. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ yes, this is the end of today's video, a q&a with the ukiyo mentors! until the next one, we promise to work hard and deliver more content that will be to your liking! ukiyo has many plans for the near and far future, so look forward to everything!
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] ALL OF THE MENTORS : ★
⠀⠀╰─ GOODBYE !
── | 𖦹 the mentors wave goodbye to the camera and stand up from the seats to exit the studio. the screen fades to black.
[ 𖥔 ࣪ ִֶָ 💬 ] RYLAN ( v. mentor ) : ★
⠀⠀╰─ ice cream is on OHSEONG today!
── | 𖦹 the ending credits appear on the screen before the ukiyo creative logo and the video finally comes to an end.
