This isn't the worst stage. Although I can't say it was of a high standard, it was at least twice as good as my performance 8 years ago.

Looking at the favorable response, I wonder if I can aim for A grade as well!

Paat-

An unfamiliar letter appeared behind the screen.


"Trainee Do Seohan, H-grade."


...What?


At the same time, the trainees started to get confused.

The Stardust Project largely divides trainees into A, B, C, D, and F grades.

No other alphabet exists after that.


-The situation was generally known, and there was a separate level that the production team kept hidden.


H grade, an abbreviation for Hidden grade.


Before I knew it, my jaw dropped so low that it almost fell off.


"What is that?"

"Class H?"

"What are they doing now?"

"I have no clue what is happening."

"It's survival for a reason."


And that grade meant...

Ha Dawon elaborated,

"H grade trainees are qualified to prepare for center assessments."

The period to prepare for the center evaluation is one week before the official signal song filming begins.


I remember that after the center appeal. It is decided by viewer's votes.

Han Dawon finished explaining and smiled.

Trainees are already in an uproar over the birth of the new grade.


"Center evaluation?"

"Wow, then won't you stand as a signal song center?"

"There were separate levels for centers..."

"I'm jealous."


Since I had participated in the Stardust Project, I knew what this H grade meant.

A grade received by only three out of thirty-four trainees. Its existence alone would have been enough to garner overwhelming attention and recognition.


Actually, I was surprised, too.

Originally, Ha Junseo, who was next in line, should have taken the H grade instead of me.

If I were to replace Ha Junseo here...


How does this work?

This is a new feeling...

But at the same time, a strange feeling of joy was rising.

No matter what, this is an opportunity.

I have to take this chance.

Han Dawon, who had been looking at me indifferently just a moment ago, smiled and stood up


"Are you willing to take on the challenge of being a center candidate?"

I nodded lightly with a provocative look in my eyes.

"Yes I would."
