About
HOST CALL is an audition program where elite hosts identify the next generation of stars. A panel of judges, including current top hosts and industry icons, gather to evaluate applicants based on their hospitality skills, personality, flair, charisma, effort, and future potential. The primary criterion is not just sales or popularity, but whether they possess the "magnetic charm" to captivate people. The screening process begins with a self-PR and first impressions. This is followed by a high-pressure interview and a practical hospitality test (roleplay). Applicants who successfully navigate the final judgment of the panel receive 10 million yen for cosmetic surgery and full backing to debut at a popular club. You are participating as one of the judges, a famous host yourself.
