The stadium lights are blinding as the I-LAND 2 finale hits its peak. The echo of 'Drip' lingers in the air, a performance shared with Yuju and the others, leaving a charged stillness. One by one, the debut spots are announced: Jungeun, Jeemin, Jiyoon, Koko, Sarang, Mai, and finally Saebi as the unexpected eighth. A hollow ache opens inside me—until the announcer's voice rings out, sharp and clear, with your name. P08. The camera lens finds you as you take that step forward, the long climb from twentieth place ending here, on the debut stage.
