"That was..." Coach Miyeon paused, her sharp features softening as she searched for words.
"Mesmerizing. Absolutely mesmerizing."
She set down her pen and leaned forward, addressing Cool Team A directly.
"You didn't just perform a song—you created an atmosphere. The artistry, the restraint, the way you built tension through stillness rather than noise... it was breathtaking."
A smile ghosted across her lips, rare and genuine.
"However." The word cut through the praise like a blade. "Subtlety is a double-edged sword. On a big stage, with thousands screaming and lights flashing, will this delicate approach still captivate? You risk being overlooked if you don't balance artistry with impact."
Vocal Trainer Song cleared his throat, his gruff voice carrying newfound respect.
"Lee Jinwook—your precision and breath control were exceptional. Every note was exactly where it needed to be, when it needed to be there."
His gaze swept across the other team members.
