As the panelists settled down, Dahee gave a signal to those backstage to prepare their special artist of the night.
Minji was on the edge of her seat. She didn't watch the show religiously, but she loved watching the clips on YouWatch during her free time. Being in the studio brought her great excitement, even when her seatmates weren't the greatest comrades.
The lights dimmed, and the crowd buzzed for a moment before the studio was engulfed in silence.
The moment the music kicked in, the stage was also bathed in gold and blue.
"Now," Dahee said through her intercom.
Hyunwoo, deemed as the leader of today's panel, grinned as he held onto the microphone.
"Welcome back to Sing or Sync! We're here for another season of jaw-dropping performances, shocking reveals, and, of course, plenty of laughs."
The audience cheered as confetti was released into the air. The other panelists nodded along, and after a while, Hyunwoo raised his hand, signaling for a special moment.
