[ STAFF ] : Feel free to do your
makeup look as you talk with
your Verose Producers about
how you're feeling so far.
ZHONG LINLIN [ C/YUEHUA ] : I've watched enough shows, I don't trust the staffs anymore.
HUA LIMEI [ A/INDIVIDUAL ] : This is going to be another ghost prank, isn't it?
[ STAFF 2 ] : Come on, that's
too predictable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ZHU LIKUN [ A/GRAMARIE ] : I hope we can all treat each performance as our last. Not in a negative way, just to motivate us to do our best.
DA KYUNGHEE [ A/YGK+ ] : It feels like yesterday when we first met one another. Now, some of us may not continue after the upcoming elimination.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SONG TAERIN [ A/YGK+ ] :[ after putting on a red lipstick ] We didn't have pre-votings so I don't know what the range of my rank could be, it's so exciting yet super scary at the same time.
JOO EUNHWI [ B/FANTAGIO ] : It doesn't matter what rank you get at the beginning as long as you keep trying till the end. The harder you work, the luckier you get and the better you will be.
KIM JIYEON [ A/FNC ] : Some people just care about winning, they don't even value the experience that we share through this. The process is also important.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CHA YEOREUM [ C/FNC ] : I hope everyone would always be happy.
ZHANG XIAOLING [ B/YUEHUA ] : Thinking about it, I might cry—
THUD !

SEO EUNKWANG [ V. MENTOR ] : Well you're surprised, but don't forget this will air.
BAI DONGMEI [ C/GRAMARIE ] : Oh, Eunkwang sunbaenim?
MOON TAESUN [ F/B. CULTURE ] : I knew it, but I still fell for it!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
JUNG AHYOUNG [ B/FANTAGIO ] : [ begins running away ]

JUNG AHYOUNG [ B/FANTAGIO ] : Ah, really. Behind you!
LIM NARI [ C/FANTAGIO ] : [ looks behind ] Oh, hello Eunkwang sunbaenim.
SEO EUNKWANG [ V. MENTOR ] : Why are you running away? I just surprised you, I'm not scary.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WANG YUHAN [ B/B. CULTURE ] : Who are you? Get out here, coward! I'm not afraid of you!
LI XIAO YU [ C/B. CULTURE ] : That's mentor Eunkwang.

KAM JIHAE [ C/JYP ] : I can't believe mentor Eunkwang dressed up like that.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LIU XIUMEI [ A/INDIVIDUAL ] : I kind of expected to see an upgraded version of Key sunbaenim with a melon, or something.

YIN FEI [ F/YUEHUA ] : Woah... [ begins clapping ]
RYONG JINA [ F/P NATION ] : Why are you clapping? Well- he worked hard.
XIN EUILIN [ F/INDIVIDUAL ] : You're too fake as a ghost, sunbaenim.
SEO EUNKWANG [ V. MENTOR ] : These are just odd glasses, I'm not even trying.
[ the last ones to enter ... ]
SEO EUNKWANG [ V. MENTOR ] : WAAA-Oh? Woah!
AS SOON AS THE CURTAIN FELL DOWN, A SLINKY TOY JUMPED TO HIS DIRECTION !
SEO EUNKWANG [ V. MENTOR ] : Who did this?!
MOON BYUL YI [ R. MENTOR ] : [ teasing ] Why are you here? You're not even funny, oppa.
LEE TAEMIN [ P. MENTOR ] : I should've been the one to do it.
SEO EUNKWANG [ V. MENTOR ] : Will then even laugh at your humor?
LEE TAEMIN [ P. MENTOR ] : ...no, they may cry.
MOON BYUL YI [ R. MENTOR ] : Next time, instead of Key-ssii, let's not invite Eunkwang oppa instead to practice sessions.
SEO EUNKWANG [ V. MENTOR ] : That's my only job!
THE TROLL GOT TROLLED HIMSELF . . . THE END.
A MOMENT OF SMILES AND LAUGHTER BEFORE . . .
KEY [ PROJ. REP ] : Verose trainees and Verose producers watching. We're now about to start our first ranking announcement.
. . . THE FIRST RANKING ANNOUNCEMENT IS HERE
WHAT WOULD BE THE FATE OF OUR VEROSE TRAINEES ?
KEY [ PROJ. REP ] : As soon as the competition started, our Verose Trainees have already been gathering their Verose points. These are the combination of votes both from public and private submissions, scores and benefits they have received from onsite votes and some additional points that they have earned based on how well they're performing.
KEY [ PROJ. REP ] : Afterwards they would be ranked accordingly from 40th to 1st. Trainees who would not make the cut, those who are in 40th-34th, will unfortunately be eliminated and will not be able to participate in the succeeding missions, but can be able to support their friends who have remained.
KEY [ PROJ. REP ] : We will also know which trainees currently in our top 12, and who will take our first place seat for the first ranking announcement.
KEY [ PROJ. REP ] : One of the trainees had to leave due to issues. Hence, instead of six trainees, only five would be eliminated. Even if it's sad to see a trainee go, this might be a good news to someone who's almost at the cut of elimination.
KEY [ PROJ. REP ] : Rather than 34th, we will skip numbers and start calling from 30th. We will call the four trainees who will sit on the 'most dangerous spots', as they say, at the end of everybody else.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
JEON CHAEHYUN [ C/P NATION ] : Well, even if you're one of the last ones, even if that's sad, that's still a much better news than being eliminated.
LIM NARI [ C/FANTAGIO ] : Whatever rank you may get here, this just means Verose producers has given you another chance to be on stage.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
KEY [ PROJ. REP ] : I will now start calling the name of the trainees who have survived the first elimination and will have another chance to step on Project Verose's stage. Starting from 30th.
EVEN FROM THE TENSION AND SUSPENSE FILLING UP THE AIR . . .
SMILES AND TEARS WILL SHOW AS THE FIRST ELIMINATION ROUND BEGINS !
TO BE CONTINUED . . .
STAFF : We haven't had
these in a while
STAFF 2 : What is this

STAFF 2 : It's right in
front of you.
STAFF : Why do we
have earbuds?
WANG XIUYING [ TRAINEE #004 ] : [ starts to speak french ] Bonjour je m'appelle Wang Xiuying!
STAFF : What is she

WANG XIUYING [ TRAINEE #004 ] : Oop- it's not that... but I'll start. [ begins to whisper ] Welcome back to yingyingasmr, today I'll be eating Poutine and Coffee Crisps! [ crunches ] They're really good, do you want to try some?
WANG XIUYING [ TRAINEE #004 ] : I love cute things, singing and dancing, which is why I really love our opening performance too. [ crunches again ] "Pick Me" is the best! [ starts singing in a whisper-level ] I want you to pick me up... up... yuP YUP UPUPUP!
WANG XIUYING [ TRAINEE #004 ] : [ begins dancing the dance break with her hands while sitting ] I want you to pick me!
STAFF 2 : Ow, ow!
Okay, that hurts
my ear.
WANG XIUYING [ TRAINEE #004 ] : [ back to whispering mode ] Oh, I apologize! I was so into it. [ bows ] Hehe, I'm Wang Xiuying. Please continue to support Project Verose and I hope you'll pick me, pick me, pick me up!

[ the camera shows another scene in another studio . . . ]
SOO MINJI [ TRAINEE #012 ] : Hello! This is the awkward fluff from P NATION, Soo Minji... yah! Even if I'm a mess off stage, I'm actually quite serious and confident when I'm dancing. [ poses ]
SOO MINJI [ TRAINEE #012 ] : [ but then suddenly stops ] But of course I've already been dancing a lot in the show so I want to show you something new!
STAFF : [ is about to press
the speaker ] Well I guess
not music, then.
SOO MINJI [ TRAINEE #012 ] : How about I try and show you my freestyle rap with a random beat? You didn't know I've signed as a rapper too, did you? [ clears throat ]
STAFF : [ back to press
the speaker ... ]
SOO MINJI [ TRAINEE #012 ] : [ but then stops again ] But of course I'm not that confident with doing it on the spot yet because I haven't been training long!
STAFF : What is this
speaker for?!
SOO MINJI [ TRAINEE #012 ] : A gift for you, staff-nim for always working so hard!
STAFF : Oh—
SOO MINJI [ TRAINEE #012 ] : KIDDING! [ giggles ] I didn't bring that here, you're working really hard though.
STAFF : ...
SOO MINJI [ TRAINEE #012 ] : [ faces the camera ] Verose Producers, I'll do my best to improve more and impress you for sure as soon as possible! I promise it'll be worth the wait, so please watch over me well! Don't forget to continue supporting Project Verose and I hope Soo Minji is one of your picks for the final group! [ bows and waves ] Thank you~
STAFF 2 : What are you
doing with my speaker?
STAFF : ...I'll never trust
these trainees again.

some notes :
have you noticed that the seat images have 'light' effects? lolol
again it's a bit shorter than usual because i haven't closed the voting yet (which i'm about to in 1st of june, by the way) i don't know what the current rankings are so i can't just start 'announcing' which is why i just tried to make it up with some corners ! please read the 'point system' for more information or if you have queries. as much as i want to explain it again in every ranking announcement, my brain will fry with all the maths so i tried to be very detailed as much as i can with that chapter !
