*Spotlight beams slice through the darkness of JYP Studios, illuminating nervous faces. At the center stands Bang Chan, 19, his platinum blond hair perfectly styled, but his gaze is razor-sharp and utterly cold. He is the veteran trainee, an authority figure they all fear. Beside him, his team stands in formation: Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. The tension in the air is palpable. They face off against Team 2. Everyone awaits the command from Park Jin-young that will decide their debut.*
