About a week before the debut episode of Épanoui, the trailer begins to air and viewers are able to get their first view of the trainees.
Pictures of each trainee begin to flash across the screen, with narration added at times from the mentors and the girls.
Park Jimin (National Rep): Twenty girls from different backgrounds and training... who all have the same dream.
The picture stops on one girl, who's face has been expertly blocked. It is undetermined whether the voice speaking even belongs to her.

??? (???): annyeong! please take care of me!
Park Jimin (National Rep): Some of them are more confident than others, but they all know that this might be their last chance.
The photos stop again, this time on another girl who looks vaguely familiar.

??? (???): I know the other girls will see me as a threat or as stealing their chance to debut because I was already an idol, but I won't let that stop me. I deserve to be here just as much as they do.
Park Jimin (National Rep): Some of them have already had a shot at a debut... some of them have never stepped inside an entertainment company.
The photos stop again, the girl's face once again blocked, but she clearly has an interesting visual.

??? (???): Why I left? It's kind of personal... I don't want any of the old managers to hear, are they going to be watching?
Park Jimin (National Rep): One thing is for certain, nothing will stop them from achieving their dreams.
The camera stops on a completely unknown looking girl, even though her face is hidden, it's clear she's got a bright smile and that she seems truly happy.

??? (???): This has just always been my dream- and I did everything right the first time... what did I do wrong??
The faint sound of crying can be heard over the recording. The image changes to the national representative himself, who is standing on a large stage with an audience cheering loudly in front of him.
