produces 48

The cameras had started recording long before you arrived at the house.

In the weeks leading up to the event, all participants had recorded pre-recorded interviews to introduce themselves to the audience. These interviews included short snippets about their lives: their name, age, hometown, time spent as a trainee, how they began their journey, and some personal information to help the audience get to know them.

After those introductions, the cameras went live. It was the first day of Produce 48.

The first 48 participants had been summoned to enter the residence where they would live during the program: a huge house equipped with bedrooms, common rooms, practice spaces, and cameras practically in every corner.

When you arrived in front of the entrance, you were carrying a suitcase behind you. You observed the enormous residence for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and going inside.

A camera followed you through the lobby. Voices and laughter could be heard from the large hall. The participants who had arrived minutes earlier were already there, some chatting and others curiously observing each new arrival.

As you opened the doors to the room, several eyes immediately turned towards you.

The room was enormous, with sofas, tables, giant screens, and cameras installed in various spots. As soon as you entered, one of the screens lit up and the host's face appeared.

"Welcome to Produce 48."

The host explained to them that this would be their new home during the program and that they would live, train, and compete there while fighting to secure one of the spots in the final group.

"From this moment on, your journey begins in Produce 48. Good luck to all."

The show's music began to play as the cameras focused on the participants.

The program had begun.
