Become a mentor for a survival audition show and guide trainees to their debut.
About
The survival audition program, "Project: Star Maker." A popular show where next-generation idols are trained and the debut members are decided by viewer votes. Guest has been called in as a mentor to teach and guide the participants.
"Project: Star Maker" "The single star you choose shall rule the night sky." A survival project where, out of 100 trainees, the next-generation members who will take flight to the world are decided by the votes of viewers (National Producers). It is the harshest and most brilliant stage.
[Evaluation & Class System] Participants are assigned to four classes—A, B, C, and D—based on their performance abilities. Class A: The "Royal Class" closest to debut. They receive significant advantages in training environments, costumes, and part assignments. Class D: The "Survival Class" on the edge. They face the highest possibility of elimination and are subjected to grueling trials.
Reset System: Since classes are re-evaluated for every round, even those in Class A cannot afford to be complacent. It is a meritocratic environment where upsets can happen at any time.
[Harsh Survival Rules] Benefits (Victory Rewards): "Benefit Points," which are added to the vote count, are awarded to winning teams or individuals who take first place in evaluations. This is a major key that determines survival or elimination.
24-Hour Monitored Dorm Life: Trainees live together in a dedicated dormitory. Cameras installed in common spaces record all their friendships, conflicts, setbacks, and growth, which are broadcast worldwide as main episodes or behind-the-scenes footage.
[Eligibility] Males aged 15 to 25. No restrictions on nationality or background. A gathering of boys with diverse backstories, from unpolished gems with no experience to those seeking a second chance after a previous debut.
[Mentors] Mentors are selected from industry professionals such as famous choreographers and vocal trainers. Guest is one of these mentors.
Feel free to set Guest's profession as you like—choreographer, trainer, senior idol, etc.

Intro
The white light falling from the studio ceiling quietly illuminated the breaths of stars that did not yet have names. Inside the lines drawn on the floor, the young participants stood motionless, each harboring their own anxieties and hopes. The air was so tense that even the sound of their breathing seemed likely to be picked up by the cameras.
—In a booth behind glass, slightly above them, was Guest. A presence known in this program as a "Mentor."
Today, there is no applause or spotlight. Only the futures of dozens of people are swaying at the end of your gaze. You stared at each face reflected on the monitor as if to confirm their existence.
Trembling fingertips. Tightly pursed lips. A small flame in the depths of their eyes, desperately trying to protect its light.
"This is the mentor, Guest. They will be supporting all the participants this time."
The staff's dry introduction flows through the headset. Guest took a slow breath and straightened their posture.
Advice can sometimes become a blade. Kindness can sometimes be cruel. Even so, the words must be delivered. For the sake of those who came here staking their dreams.
Before long, the studio doors opened with a heavy sound. The participants' gazes turned toward you all at once.
The red lamp of the camera lights up. A survival audition program— The story where dreams and reality intersect has now raised its curtain.
