"Let's welcome our special guest for today, one of the well-known Sun's Rookies, Jung Jae-seong", the host announced as the audience cheered for her. "How have you been Jae-seong", the host asked. "Never been better", Jae-seong responded with the brightest smile. "It has only been a year since the last you've been here but I can't help but notice a difference in your appearance, what's changed Jae", the host asked. "A lot actually, and I'll let all of you in a secret, just make sure this stays between us, okay", Jae-seong said playfully winking and cheekily smiling. "Woah, what a way to make us feel special! We promise to keep it, right", the host exclaimed looking at the audience as they all agreed.
"Alright alright. As many of you know, I am still waiting for my official debut. All this time I thought I would debut in a group but unfortunately enough, the company thinks I would be better on my own. So here I am telling you this secret that I will be debuting as a soloist with my debut song to be released anytime soon so stay tuned", Jae-seong announced playfully winking yet again at the camera. "Wow, now that is some pleasant surprise to all of us including me. We will surely look forward to it and cheer you on", the host exclaimed while the audience cheered making Jae-seong stand up and bow towards the host and the audience in appreciation for their positive response. "Later on we would get to talk and spend more time with our dearest Jung Jae-seong after a few words from our sponsors for today", the host continued.
"And cut, 5-minute break everybody", the stage director announced as soon as the cameras stopped filming. "Why did you suddenly become a soloist", the host asked Jae-seong just before both their glam teams came rushing in and started touching up. "They say if I still wait for a group, I would be too old by then", Jae-seong answered chuckling. "Well I wish you nothing but the best, really. I'll be one of our first fans", the host said making Jae-seong smile and mouth a "thank you" just before the lights of the studio started going back on. "Show back on in 30", the stage director announced as he began counting down.
"In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and we're live", he announced as the cameras started filming again making both Jae-seong and the host smile brightly again. "And we are back, here with us still is Sun's Rookie Jung Jae-seong. For everyone who just tuned in, Jae-seong earlier revealed that she is now set to debut as a soloist with her debut song to be released real soon", the host said as she read through the intercom. "I thought that was our little secret", Jae-seong whined adorably making the audience laugh. "Don't worry, everyone watching through their screens will keep it sealed", the host responded. Jae-seong just pretended to plead at the camera in the most adorable way. "Well anyway, since you're here, why don't we play a game", the host continued as Jae-seong pretended to be shocked. "What game are we gonna play", Jae-seong asked as her eyes roamed around trying to act nervous.
"The game is called Fake or Fact and the mechanics are simple, I will just read out loud statements or previous articles about you and you will just state whether they are Fake or Fact, simple, right", the host explained as Jae-seong nodded her head yes. "Okay then, first statement about you, you were born and raised in the States, Fake or Fact", the host then started the game off almost immediately. "Fact! Born and raised in Illinois", Jae-seong exclaimed enthusiastically. "Can we see some of your photos from Illinois", the host asked as Jae-seong nodded with a smile. The screen then showed pictures of Jae-seong back in Illinois and stopped at one picture in particular. "Okay next statement, you left Illinois with your mother and your brother months after your father died of sickness, Fake or Fact", the host stated as they continued the game.
"Half fake half fact", Jae-seong answered with the enthusiasm evidently declining. "Oh? Why is that", the host now asked as the whole studio fall silent. "While it's true that we left Illinois months after my father died, but we didn't leave with my biological mother", Jae-seong responded with her voice trailing off as the screen showed a different picture. "Because she died giving birth to me. The woman from the picture previously is just our stepmom, or should I say just our guardian", Jae-seong continued making the atmosphere feel awkward and tense. "Well alright then, thank you for clarifying that, unto the next question", the host reacted trying to alleviate the tension as the screen rolled unto the next picture.
"Okay this one's quite controversial, you used to date famous CEO, Lee Taeyong, and labelmate, Ten", the host stated ultimately catching everyone's attention as the screen showed handful of articles. "Fact for Lee Taeyong and fake for Ten", Jae-seong answered as she slowly brought back the enthusiasm. "Oh? Fake for Ten? Why is that? Didn't you like confirmed that", the host asked continuously. "We didn't actually date per se, it was more of an act really. We had our reasons and we are still good friends to this day", Jae-seong answered as the pictures they took at the dance studio started showing on screen one by one. "The pictures says otherwise", one of the audience yelled. "To tell you precisely, we used to have something beyond than just a friendship before but it never reached a level to where we officially dated. Let's just say we had mutual feelings for each other but now we really just are good friends", Jae-seong further explained silencing the person that yelled earlier.
"Well thank you for clearing things out. Next statement, now this is easy, you stand at 168cm", the host continued not wasting any time. "Where did that come from? Fake! I'm only 165cm", Jae-seong responded laughing. "Woah some difference there! Okay, unto the next! The most debated topic, you auditioned for Sun, Fake or Fact", the host asked yet again which now made Jae-seong laugh. "Fake", Jae-seong exclaimed. "Could you tell us about how you actually ended up being a trainee", the host asked as Jae-seong nodded her head. "I was actually scouted by what they call themselves as the three largest entertainment companies of the country. They found me, Lucas, and Ten through a video of us uploaded online", Jae-seong explained as the screen played the said video. "And when is that to be exact", the host asked watching the video displayed. "Pageant held by the school", Jae-seong responded briefly as she was watching the said video as well.
"From there we can see that you were born to be star Jae", the host complimented her as the audience cheered. "Oh thank you so much", Jae-seong responded as she was completely flattered. "No wonder Sun scouted you the moment they saw you and your potential. Well anyways, let's hop unto the next statement. This one's the most frequently asked online, the bracelet you always wear on your left wrist was given by your father before he died, Fake or Fact", the host then continued on with the game. "Some keen eye people has", Jae-seong laughed as she raised her left wrist to reveal the bracelet in question. "This was originally a necklace and I'm not really a fan of wearing necklaces so I turned it into a bracelet", Jae-seong continued explaining the origin of the bracelet. "So who is it from", the host asked the one question on the minds of everyone watching as of the moment.
"This is actually from Ten", Jae-seong answered hesitatingly with a shy smile as she looked straight at the bracelet. "Woah! Are you sure you didn't date each other", the host asked insensitively but Jae-seong did her best to turn the situation around. "This is more of a symbol of friendship", Jae-seong responded chuckling awkwardly. "Well alright, it was fun having you here with us Jae, and we will most certainly wait for your debut! Best of luck", the host said just before the lights went out and the cameras stopped recording. "And cut! Great job everyone", the stage director yelled as the lights lit up the studio again but this time of different hue. Jae-seong thanked each and everyone of the staff individually with the brightest smile as she continuously bowed. As she was sure she thanked everyone, she then walked towards her dressing room knowing fully that her manager and all her things were there. As she opened the door, she was then greeted by her manager with the creepiest smile she has seen from her.
