Wu Zhi Ruo
WU ZHI RUO [ 28/YUEHUA ] : I did rise, but I'm still in a dangerous position. It's tough, but anything could happen.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
KEY [ PROJ. REP ] : To the trainees who would unfortunately leave us for tonight, it was a joy having you here in this competition. Never lose your passion, and don't be afraid to fail again, and again. The emotions you're feeling right now may be agonizing and painful. But, they are all a part of your path to an even greater success.
CHO HEEYOUNG [ ELIM/FNC ] : Looks like I didn't do well this time. This might be the best decision for me, so I will try not to be disappointed. I'm already really happy that I can make it into this place. I meet many talented people that surprisingly are really really amazing. I hope the next time we meet, I'll show you all that I haven't lose! The next time we meet, I'll be the winner! Just wait!
JOO HEE AE [ ELIM/FANTAGIO ] : Fantagio's Hee ae here! Ah, first of all. I wanna thank the Verose Producers for letting me stay here even for a short time. I'm so happy that I'm given this chance to show my talents on the others. I hope I can show you a better Hee ae in the future. Let's meet again, Verose Producers! Again, this is Joo Hee ae. Thank you!
RYONG JINA [ ELIM/P NATION ] : First, I would like to thank all of the Verose Producers for helping me come this far. Project Verose has been an amazing experience, and I am glad to say I can leave her with new knowledge. Congratulations to the girls who will continue, and I wish everyone the best of luck. Hopefully we will be able to debut. Project Verose fighting!
LEE JIWON [ ELIM/JYP ] : Thank you very much for supporting me till now. Thank you mentors for taking care of me and my fellow trainees for helping me and supporting me. I hope the deserving trainees win. Good luck to all of you! I will try my best in the future.
XIN EUILIN [ ELIM/INDIVIDUAL ] : It is really sad to leave like this but I do not regret all the experiences and memories that we had. Thank you to everyone who believed in me and my dreams. I'll continue to grow. I'll work hard to even show a better version of myself. This is not the end of me and this is not the end for all of us. Thank you.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
KEY [ PROJ. REP ] : You're still welcomed to support other Verose trainees in their path of continuing your dreams, but we also hope that you'll remember all the things you have learned here, and use them as a guide to your road to success. I hope you will all meet in a better stage in the future.
KIM JIYEON STANDS UP FROM HER SEAT TO LEAD THE OTHER TRAINEES
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : We will all still keep on dreaming, believing and working until we reach the debut we're waiting for, even though we're on separate paths now. Verose producers and trainees, I hope we can all continue walking in the road of flowers with no regrets! Thank you [ bows ]
ALL OF THE TRAINEES ALTOGETHER BOWED WITH HER TO THE CAMERA AFTERWARDS
PROJECT VEROSE SECOND RANKING ANNOUNCEMENT RECAP !
NOW PLAYING :
PICK ME !
❰ ►Ⅱ ━━●━━━━ ❱
( the gif shows everyone from 34th-1st. if you want to 'revisit' it, once it comes to the page of 1st-3rd places, it would start again from the beginning in a few seconds )
OUT OF 34 TRAINEES, 28 TRAINEES REMAINED IN THE COMPETITION . . .
THEY WERE ALL GATHERED ONCE AGAIN THE DAY AFTER THE SECOND RANKING ANNOUNCEMENT !
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Nice to meet you again, trainees. It's been a while. How are you feeling, everyone?
VEROSE TRAINEES : We're good...
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : [ gives them a small smile ] I know the past elimination is draining, but don't act like those who have left are dead! I'm sure some of them would still support you silently if they can, and they wouldn't want to see you sad like this. So no matter what rank you have this time, cheer up, okay?
VEROSE TRAINEES : Yes!
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Can I call our current first place, Kim Jiyeon? Congratulations! Do you think you'll be able to repeat the same feat next time?
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : I didn't expect to be this high... but I just hope to be on the debut lineup the next evaluations as well!
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Can you believe that after this, only one evaluation awaits before we see the final members of the debuting group? Those who pass this next evaluation will have higher chances of debuting. But before that... may I ask what is Hong Yuen's current rank from the last ranking announcement?
HONG YUEN [ 25/GRAMARIE ] : I was 25th.
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Right now, you're right at the middle of the rankings. However, if a trainee in the following ranking announcement will be on that spot, they will unfortunately be... eliminated.
ANOTHER ELIMINATION AWAITS !
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Right after this stage, only 24 trainees will remain. Which means four trainees standing here will unfortunately not make it to the next evaluation. The next evaluation that will determine who will stay to have another stage is Concept Evaluation. Through this, we're also going to make our Project Verose album consisting of the songs performed by every trainee. 28 TRAINEES, 4 CONCEPTS. And guess who would be on the album cover?
VEROSE TRAINEES : ...
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Of course, the winning team for this mission! Their song would also be used the album's title track. Not only that, additional points that can help you reach the finale stage will also be explained later on. I hope you'll work hard!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LIU XIUMEI [ 4/INDIVIDUAL ] : For us who haven't debuted yet to have an album...
LAST COVER FROM PROJECT SOLSTICE !
( i may actually do the same-ish style because i like it sdjh )
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : By the way, I'm here to talk to you about... rearrangements, which many of you had already expected. As you're aware, only seven trainees could perform each concept song. Before the second elimination, "I Am" had 7 members, "Rollin' Rollin" and "Rumor" had 9, and "See You Again" had 8.
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : But now, seeing your current count after the second ranking announcement...
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : With the departure of their previous members, "Rollin' Rollin" and "See You Again" both currently has 7 members. You're free to practice as you are without any members leaving, or added.
FINAL MEMBERS OF "ROLLIN' ROLLIN" !
FINAL MEMBERS OF "SEE YOU AGAIN" !
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : As for "I Am", they currently have 6 members, which means they need one more to be able to perform on stage.
FINAL MEMBERS OF "I AM" !
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : For the concept song, "Rumor", you currently have 8 members. As only seven could perform one concept song, unfortunately, one member would have to be moved.
◤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◥
[ interview ! ]
WANG XIUYING [ 14/YUEHUA ] : I bet each team already studied the choreography. For that one person to leave, how will she be able to catch up in time in a new song?
[ end of interview ! ]
◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : The rules have changed, by the way.
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Let me explain how will this work. The staffs will give everyone in the "Rumor" team a paper sheet in which you're going to rank your members from 1-8. With 8, being the "most needed in the song" down to 1 as the "she'll do better in the other team". The trainee that gets the less votes out of everyone will have to leave the team.
◤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◥
[ interview ! ]
JUNG AHYOUNG [ 10/FANTAGIO ] : "I Am" and "Rumor" both have that similar 'girl crush' type of feel so I guess being moved won't be so bad at all.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ZHONG LINLIN [ 22/YUEHUA ] : "Rumor" requires fierceness while "I Am" needs trainees who could find a balance between the concept of cute and sexy...
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ZHANG XIAOLING [ 19/YUEHUA ] : Well, I guess it's a matter of pride as well. You don't want to have a title of "the trainee who was kicked out of her team because she fits it worst out of everybody within the group" for a long time.
[ end of interview ! ]
◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢
HEO SOLJI [ V. MENTOR ] : Now "Rumor" team, who will it be?
WHICH ONE OUT OF ALL THE REMAINING MEMBERS WILL BE MOVED TO ANOTHER CONCEPT SONG ?
THE TRAINEES HAVE NOW STARTED WRITING ON THEIR PAPERS ONE BY ONE . . .
CHA YEOREUM [ 15/FNC ] : She looks elegant and for this concept, you need to be fierce. In my opinion, she fits a fancier concept.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : She doesn't give me that girl crush vibe and from her image.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DA KYUNGHEE [ 7/YGK+ ] : I realized that we have too many dancers in original lineup, 4 people in total including myself. And among them I feel like she doesn't really match with "Rumor"...
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HUA LIMEI [ 11/INDIVIDUAL ] : Although "Rumor" is a dance oriented song, I feel like four powerful dancers in one group would be quite overwhelming for example when deciding for positions.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
JOO EUNHWI [ 13/FANTAGIO ] : It was a really hard choice and I wished somehow that we had 7 remaining members after the elimination to make it easier. Everyone on the team suits the song and concept very well, like the song was made for us to perform.
THEY NOW WENT BACK TO THEIR PRACTICE ROOM TO WAIT FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT . . .
HUA LIMEI [ 11/INDIVIDUAL ] : In a few moments, one of us will have to leave the room.
JOO EUNHWI [ 13/FANTAGIO ] : Anyone wants to volunteer to reveal the final members?
DA KYUNGHEE [ 7/YGK+ ] : Then why don't miss current first place do it for us?
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : [ gasps ] Me? I'm not really looking forward to it, I just don't be the one to leave... but if you insist...
JIYEON STANDS UP TO TEAR THE SHEET COVERING THE FINAL MEMBERS OF THEIR TEAM !
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : The first trainee to become a permanent member of this "Rumor" team is...
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : YGK+ Da Kyunghee.
DA KYUNGHEE [ 7/YGK+ ] : [ bows ] Thank you everyone!
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : The second member is...
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : Oh, it's me?
KAM JI HAE [ 20/JYP ] : Congratulations, Jiyeon!
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : I feel so happy, but I'm scared for everyone. I'll continue then. Our third and fourth member is...
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : Top visual, Zhu Likun and opening center, Hua Limei~
ZHU LIKUN [ 5/GRAMARIE ] : I'll give my very best in this, I swear.
HUA LIMEI [ 11/INDIVIDUAL ] : That's good but I kind of died a little from the anxiety.
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : I just want to perform this with everyone if we could... the fifth and sixth member...
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : JYP's Kam Ji Hae and Yuehua's Wu Zhi Ruo
WU ZHI RUO [ 28/YUEHUA ] : [ sighs in relief ] Thank you...
KAM JI HAE [ 20/JYP ] : Ah~ I really wanted to perform this song.
ONLY ONE SPOT REMAINING FOR "RUMOR" !
WHO WILL STAY BETWEEN JOO EUNHWI AND CHA YEOREUM ?
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : We only have one spot left. Our final member is... [ tears it all without looking at it ]
◤━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◥
[ interview ! ]
WU ZHI RUO [ 28/YUEHUA ] : Although I believe Eunhwi will do well with the concept, she can also easily suit other concepts.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
KAM JI HAE [ 20/JYP ] : Yeoreum has already done some sexy concepts with "L.I.E." and "Sorry Not Sorry". I think she could show more her cute side and this song is the opposite of that.
[ end of interview ! ]
◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢
KIM JIYEON [ 1/FNC ] : I'm really sorry... please don't cry.
???: I just thought I fit it perfectly. But don't worry, I'm not crying, It's okay, I'm alright. I have to leave the team now, but I'll continue to do my best. So I hope you'll do the same too.
MEANWHILE IN THE PRACTICE ROOM OF "I AM" . . .
HAN HYONBYUL [ 3/FANTAGIO ] : I just hope she likes the song too. I mean, it's good.
SONG TAERIN [ 2/YGK+ ] : If she's passionate to make it to the next stage, I don't think she'll give up because she got moved out of her original performance.
HUANG KYURIM [ 12/FNC ] : I wonder who could it be... it's hard to tell, everyone in the "Rumor" team could perform "Rumor"..
THE DOOR ENTERS REVEALING . . .
FANTAGIO'S JOO EUNHWI !
SONG TAERIN [ 2/YGK+ ] : [ hugs her ] Don't worry, we'll slay this concept! You have to show them what you're capable of.
JOO EUNHWI [ TRAINEE #15 ] : Hi it's Fantagio's hwihwi, Joo Eunhwi!
JOO EUNHWI [ TRAINEE #15 ] :I'm not sure what to do, to be honest. I'm not that cool or interesting but... I do love coffee! [ brings out a coffee machine ] and brewing them. So maybe I'll show you how?
JOO EUNHWI [ TRAINEE #15 ] : [ while making the coffee ] I was surprised to be selected as the 2nd place for the visual pick last time, I totally didn't expect other trainees to vote for me. But unexpected surprises are the best right?
JOO EUNHWI [ TRAINEE #15 ] : And... it's done! Oh no... I didn't bring any glass, I couldn't possibly drink right from the coffee machine.
STAFF : We have cup decorations
at the back, you can use it.
STAFF 2 : Oh but those are...
JOO EUNHWI [ TRAINEE #15 ] : Shot glasses? Oh well, it could work. [ pours some hot coffee to it and drinks it at one go ]
JOO EUNHWI [ TRAINEE #15 ] : Ah, it tastes good. [ pours another glass and drinks it ] It's my personal americano blend. Do you want to try some?
STAFF 2 : No, we're good.
JOO EUNHWI [ TRAINEE #15 ] : [ gets another glass ] I hope you guys enjoyed this 1 minute special corner with me and make sure to support me and my lablemates through our remaining time on the show! Don't forget to also keep watching Project Verose~
STAFF : Why is she getting
drunk over coffee?
[ as a surprise, this time . . . ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ . . . we have two corners ! ]
STAFF : Can we now start.
??? : Please, five minutes more. I need to fix my hair and makeup, I'm about to appear in front of the camera.
STAFF : [ whispers ] Nothing
much changed since earlier.
??? : I heard it and I wasn't asking about your opinion staff-nim.
STAFF 2 : Oops burn, boy.
Anyway, we really need to
start now.
??? : Okay, done! My image is important as an active model and idol trainee, I shouldn't look ugly and unprepared in front of Verose Producers.
DA KYUNGHEE [ TRAINEE #17 ] : But right now my priority is to greet and talk with them. Hello dear Verose Producers, this is your charismatic model-dancer Da Kyunghee from YG K+ ! Today I want to share some useful tips to get a beautiful, natural smile in the photos, hope it won't be boring for you all!
DA KYUNGHEE [ TRAINEE #17 ] : Firstly, you need to be relaxed to get a natural looking smile. So, close your eyes, relax your face and jaw muscles. Second tip is think about something which makes you happy genuinely, in that way the way you smile won't look force and fake.
DA KYUNGHEE [ TRAINEE #17 ] : Third and last tip is asking photographer to tell a joke but of course it'd only work if you're close with that person. Honestly, I struggled with smiling naturally at first as I don't really smile that much but those mentioned tips are my life saviors.
DA KYUNGHEE [ TRAINEE #17 ] : Some more facts about me! In music genres, I like EDM, Pop, Slow-Rock, R&B and Ballad the most. Oh by the way I stan Solstice, our seniors from the first season [ chuckles shyly ] everyone's so talented and good-looking but my bias is Lucius-sshi. I hope they'll come to our program more often and luckily I'll get a chance to work together with them in the future.
STAFF : You have to stop
fangirling now, you only
have about 5 seconds left.
DA KYUNGHEE [ TRAINEE #17 ] : Alright. So this has been YG K+'s Da Kyunghee and hopefully I didn't bore anyone. I promise to be someone who can show her gratitude toward her supporters with her hardwork so please keep on supporting me and other talented trainees!
STAFF : She talks so fast,
I feel tired.
STAFF 2 : You always do,
and the heck do you mean
you're just standing there.

some notes :
small promotion, i published an applyfic with mystery-ish themes, "arcana". please check it out if you're interested, or tag some people who might be! it'll be appreciated~ i'll publish the next mission discussion chapter in approximately 11-12 hours. well, it's currently late here so i guess after i wake up lolol
back in pd48, netizens accused "i am" team of being 'afraid' so they kicked chaeyeon out. it just made me realize how they had no choice, and would've probably performed as 6 if they could and they were not (i mean, why would they be? it's a "team mission"). chaeyeon's vocal skills were noticed well in "1000%", and it also made netizens who thought "she didn't suit pure concepts" that she actually is a duality queen too. so everything is good at the end.
to those who have been eliminated, thank you for participating in project verose!! your presence here was very appreciated. you're still welcome to read and support for other trainees, they will surely appreciate that! and besides, nobody knows for certain what 'twist' i may pull. (like if a surviving member suddenly decides to withdraw from the competition, i may ask a previous contestant who's still reading to replace her) i felt rooting for everyone to debut, maybe next time i should write a 'no-elimination' survival show, if that works
EVERYONE'S SCORE RECAP !
[ previous rank | trainee number | entertainment | trainee name | main skill | sub skill | team in previous mission | score | current rank | rose/drop/retained ]
