WELCOME TO CHOOSE YOUR IDOL
EPISODE ONE ❪ PART TWO ❫ : GAME ON!
AT THE END OF EPISODE ONE PART ONE...
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "Viewers, welcome to Choose Your Idol. Game On! will officially begin... now!"
A curtain opens behind Irene and reveals the eighteen trainees. They're wearing semi-matching outfits with their trainee number written on their top (instead of the 13). (You can visualize whichever outfit you want).
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "Let's... Power Up!" [does the fighting! fist towards the camera]
Irene moves off the stage as 'Power Up!', Choose Your Idol's theme song, begins playing.
The performance comes to an end. Irene, alongside the mentors, clap and cheer for their performance.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "Amazing! It's going to be difficult to pick just eleven of you to debut. Can we just debut all eighteen of them?"
SADLY, WE CANNOT :(.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 NAYEON ❪ VOCAL MASTER ❫ : "I heard them rehearsing earlier and I couldn't believe my ears. I thought it was the demo version of a veteran girl group, but it was our amazing trainees. Now I'm pumped to see everyone's auditions now."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "Since Nayeon has mentioned the auditions, why don't we begin? Girls, go ahead and make your way to your seats. The seats are not numbered for now so you can sit wherever."
The eighteen trainees move off the stage and sit in their seats behind the mentors. Irene has a smile on her face... almost a sympathetic smile.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "After that powerful performance, I feel kind of bad for this, but..."
WHAT IS IRENE ABOUT TO SAY?
The trainees look at one another. Irene nervously laughs before collecting herself.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "Your auditions that you have been working on for weeks now are not going to be used."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "HYBE will no longer be performing ETA by NewJeans."
The camera dramatically pans over the HYBE Labels' trainees' faces.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "JYPE will no longer be performing DICE by NMIXX."
The camera dramatically pans over the JYP Entertainment's trainees' faces.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "SME will no longer be performing Savage by aespa."
The camera dramatically pans over the SM Entertainment's trainees' faces.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "And finally, YGE will no longer be performing Lovesick Girls by BLACKPINK."
As expected, the camera dramatically pans over the YG Entertainment's trainees' faces.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "Choose Your Idol is a game. When you're starting a new game, you don't practice for months. You start a new journey with new characters and levels."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "After watching you all practice Power Up over the past two weeks, I, alongside Nayeon, Ten, and Hongjoong, have divided you all into three groups of six members."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "When I call your name, please stand up. Once I have called six names, I will dismiss you to your group's practice room."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "The order in which I call your name holds no significance. Now, let's form the first team!"
The atmosphere is very tense yet calm as the trainees wait for Irene to call the first name.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "The first name to be called is... Della Kang!"
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "The next trainee to join Della Kang is... Snowy Zheng!"

𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "The final trainee to join our first team is... Haru Nagasawa."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "The first team has been formed. Please exit the stage and a staff member will lead you to your destination."
The six trainees do as told. The remaining twelve trainees wait in anticipation to see who they will be grouped with.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "The second team is about to be formed."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "The first trainee to join team two is... Stassie Baker."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "The next trainee to join Stassie Baker, also known as Choose Your Idol's oldest, is Eve Jeon!"

𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "The second team has been formed. Please exit the stage and a staff member will lead you to your destination."
The six trainees do as told. The remaining six trainees look around at each other knowingly.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "Jia Song, Zee Park, Hinari Lee, Nadia Tsai, Lottie Yoon, and Yui Aikawa will be the members of team three."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "Please exit the stage and a staff member will lead you to your destination."
The six trainees do as told. The now empty seats look boring with no beautiful trainees sitting in them.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 IRENE ❪ IDOL MASTER ❫ : "Viewers, let the games begin!"
TEAM ONE'S PRACTICE ROOM
SONG NAME STILL UNKNOWN
The six trainees are lead into a private dance studio. A large sticker is placed on the wall saying 'Peel Me To Reveal!'.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 CHARLOTTE LEE ❪ RAP ❫ : "Should we just get it over with and rip it off?"
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 SNOWY ZHENG ❪ VOCAL ❫ : "Yes please! It's so tempting. I need to know already."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 HARU NAGASAWA ❪ RAP ❫ : "Riley, Charlotte, and I are rappers, so I hope it's something with at least three rap parts."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 DELLA KANG ❪ VOCAL ❫ : "I think our youngest should peel it. Go ahead, Ari!"
ARI JANG walks over to the sticker and slowly peels it off the mirror. The girls gasp at the song title written.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 RILEY KIM ❪ RAP ❫ : "Haru! You jinxed it!"
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 ARI JANG ❪ ALL ROUNDER ❫ : "Ahh! Oh No!"
HOW WILL TEAM ONE, WHERE HALF OF THE MEMBERS ARE RAPPERS, PERFORM A GFRIEND SONG?
TEAM TWO'S PRACTICE ROOM
SONG NAME STILL UNKNOWN
The six trainees are lead into a private dance studio. A large sticker is placed on the wall saying 'Peel Me To Reveal!'.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 EUNJI LEE ❪ RAP ❫ : "We have a lot of good dancers. Even if we're not the strongest in vocals, we can at least show a good performance."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 STASSIE BAKER ❪ VOCAL ❫ : "What if we get a Gfriend song..."
...AND THE SHOW WRITES ITSELF.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 DAISY CHUN ❪ DANCE ❫ : "Don't even speak that into existence."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 DAEUN PARK ❪ DANCE ❫ : "I think an ITZY song would fit us well. Wannabe or LOCO would be good and let us all show our skills. Can I go ahead and peel the sticker?"
The other members nod and DAEUN PARK rips the sticker off the mirror. The six girls gasp at the song title.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 AUTUMN SU ❪ DANCE ❫ : "We have to do this in front of the original artist?!"
WILL TEAM TWO FEEL THE PRESSURE TO PERFORM THIS SONG WELL IN FRONT OF EMCEE IRENE?

The six trainees are lead into a private dance studio. A large sticker is placed on the wall saying 'Peel Me To Reveal!'.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 LOTTIE YOON ❪ DANCE ❫ : "Please, please, please be a song with a good dance break."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 ZEE PARK ❪ ALL ROUNDER ❫ : "I think it will be. There's four dancers, it would only make sense, right?"
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 JIA SONG ❪ VOCAL ❫ : "Someone please peel the sticker off. I don't think I can look."
JIA SONG shields her eyes as HINARI LEE rips the sticker off the mirror. Everyone, except JIA SONG, begin to freak out over the song title.
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 YUI AIKAWA ❪ DANCE ❫ : "That song?! Can we really do that kind of song?"
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 HINARI LEE ❪ DANCE ❫ : "This song is so unexpected. I was expecting Le Sserafim, aespa, IVE, or another fourth generation girl group."
𝄒 𖥻 ִ ۫ ּ💬 「 NADJA TSAI ❪ DANCE ❫ : "I- We will have to work hard if we want a good rank from our audition."
