As April is the month for pranks and fun galore, the coaches, spread across each of the four companies, have agreed that a little mischief wouldn’t hurt after all the hard work the trainees have been doing since the beginning of 2019. Throughout the month of April, the coaches have planned a camera prank for the trainees to be unveiled after their group performance on the last day of the month. On April 1st, the trainees are rounded up into an auditorium at Seocho for a short presentation of what’s to be expected for the month of April. To not derail the planned prank, April 1st is without any hijinks and instead the presentation starts off charismatically with a coach stepping forward and calling out to the trainees that they’ve got fifteen minutes to divide themselves into groups for the month; each group can be a mix from different companies and genders as long as groups are made. The coaches also heavily emphasize that the larger the groups are, the harder the coaches will grade them on their performance at the end of the month.Once the fifteen minutes are up, the coaches urge the groups to sit alongside each other as they’re presented a video of one of Convex’s stage performances of Mansae, where each of the members were able to successfully catch the camera throughout the heavy choreography and live singing. Without so much as a hesitation, the video is clipped halfway through as the coaches turn to the trainees and announce that this month’s eval, while seemingly easy, isn’t one to underestimate. Their task for the month is to practice a heavily choreographed routine, sing it live, all while being able to catch and find the eye of the camera. Trainees can practice trying to find the camera but they will not know how many cameras will be used at the final performance. By the end of the first week of April, the trainees are to come up with a Korean song as well as it’s choreography and submit the decision before April 8th. Once approved, trainees will concentrate on this performance for the duration of the month until the final performance on April 30th. On the last day of the month, each group of trainees will be led into a large room, separated from the rest who await in the one of the Seocho halls (click for reference), where seven cameras, and their respective cameramen, await them; all aimed at certain spots of the room. No instruction will be made as to which camera will be directed onto which person or which will be on at a certain time so it is up to the trainees to use their better judgement and their eyes to get both the best shot from each camera and to successfully catch the eye of the camera. The performance will begin when a coach announces over the intercom and says, ‘Performance start!’. The performance will follow as practiced and once done, all the cameramen will leave, wordlessly, as the trainees are instructed to stay in the room. The cameras that were left behind will seem fine, except the very last one at the right, which had been wired to topple over once the door of the room is closed, causing it to fall onto one another. As such a domino affect ensues and all seven cameras fall over, bulbs and lens crashing and breaking on their way down. However, unbeknownst to the trainees, there will be an eighth camera hidden in the room to document the rest of the event after the collision. The collision causes such a ruckus that the coaches run into the room, exclaiming what happened. The coaches will use their best acting skills to accuse the trainees in the room for destroying the cameras and asking them how they plan to pay for the destruction of the expensive equipment. It is up to the trainees to get themselves out of this mess in the most professional and effective way possible. By the end, the coaches will discuss a punishment for the group of trainees before leading them out into the auditorium where the rest of the other trainees are to await in silence until each group of trainees return from their performance. When everyone is back, the coaches lower the overhead screen and simultaneously each video of the recorded camera prank blinks onto the screen with the coaches screaming, ‘Gotcha!’, revealing that the whole situation had been a prank, after all.
