The day of the competition arrived quickly, and as always, the tension was higher than ever. The contestants left were fewer now, and everyone who made it this far had worked hard to stay. At this stage, nobody wanted to be eliminated.
Most of the contestants were from big labels, so they had songs written and arranged for them. But the likes of Maya, Dayo, Min-Jae, and a few others were doing everything on their own. They wrote, composed, and produced their own songs.
The contestants sat together to eat breakfast, though the air felt different. Normally, there would be small talks around and some even talking about Dayo as it was still a hot topic, but this morning, no one had time for gossip. Everyone was too focused, nervous, and lost in thought about their own performances.
