Park Ha-jin, the main manager of ON Entertainment’s Planning Team A, closed his tablet with an annoyed expression. Perhaps because it was a space where the most idol fans gathered among the existing large online communities, it was chaotic from Monday morning.

In the first place, the trainees who were eliminated from the debut team weren’t even considered as new members of Eden, so they were in a situation where they had to select new faces from scratch and train them again.

In the worst-case scenario, the debut schedule could be completely postponed to next year, but ON Entertainment hadn’t revealed a new idol group in over three years, so they were in a dilemma where they couldn’t postpone it any longer.
