"This is the new rule. The cut-off line."
"Cut-off line?" The participants from the other teams asked out loud.
Rayen was wondering about the same thing. Did Yeon Miwol mean that literally?
'Cut-off... Culling...'
"Those who fall in this line had been determined to have slim chances to accumulate enough points to debut. And unfortunately... will have to go."
The entire studio went silent.
'Have to go? Does that mean they're already eliminated? Couldn't they just get another support from their sponsors?'
As Rayen was wondering about it, Yeon Miwol explained, "The rule says the sponsors will have no choice but to let go of them."
Rayen stared at the red line again, his hand as cold as ice. He didn't pay much attention to where this line fell earlier.
'No way, right?'
A second later, he sighed in relief. His name wasn't under the red line. His points passed by its marking point.
[Cut-off line: 600,000]
