stable. by far the best performance
in regards to vocal stability.
❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR

❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ did anyone have chungha give you
some advice?
❍ SHIN SUNMI﹢꒰ MNH

the mentors nod their heads and two of
them clap lightly.
❍ WOW﹢꒰ R. MENTOR
❝ though there was no rap, so I'm
technically out of this advice wise,
I'd just like to say that you guys chose
a difficult song, not only because
it's in english, but because the feel
of the song is something you have to
match to an almost perfect ten.
❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ throughout the entire performance,
I believe trainee shin sunmi overshadowed
the other. however, you both need some
work in your vocals and stability.
❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ I believe what could've save you
both in this performance was the
dance, however the dance fell
short to me. though you hit the
moves on the right beat, it just
felt incomplete as a whole.
the two girls nod in response and bow.
they wait for their results.
❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR

mirae holds her stance but as soon as
she gets off the stage she's crying into
her label mate's arms. after she calmed
down, the two retrieved their stickers and
sat back down. only six trainees needed
to perform.

may.

I'm honest. I hope they all do well.
──────
the mentors clapped before one of them
picked up the microphone.
❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR
❝ vocal wise, everyone was stable but
I think trainee go solri focused on using
her head voice more than her chest
voice which is what I believe caused
the major difference in how the voices
sounded together.
❍ J-KID﹢꒰ D. MENTOR
❝ though the vocals could use a bit
more tweaking, the dance was overall
really captivating. I enjoyed it.
the three girls bow and head backstage,
the other team taking their place. they
get into position and the music starts.

performance, and they all clapped.
❍ SEUNGSIK﹢꒰ V. MENTOR

✎ (❁ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈) RUNE'S CORNER !
hi my runiverse 🥺
this is the final episode for
auditions and now we move
onto the theme song! I hope
you can understand why I
didn't use an already existing
theme song. it was explained
in the last rune's corner.
ANYWAY IMPORTANT !
here is the google form that I need
everyone NOT in the LUX rank to
fill out. it's for the first official center
of the season. LUX trainees cannot
vote, but everyone else can.
FORM ━
voting will only close once I receive
everyone's vote. I will tag you if it is
absolutely necessary. this will help
determine if people actually read
my rune's corner.
that's all for now! keep on the lookout
for the next episode ^-^
stay safe, wash ur damn hands, stream
assa and oh my god, and I'll see you
later!
━━ THIS IS PROJECT LUXE ━━
