Shin Ji-yong briefly met Ari's eyes before turning to look at the other contestants with a doting smile.
"Ah, I recognize quite a few kids who are trainees. Taeri, ah, no, you like to go by Rex, right? You've danced for us before?"
"I'm honored that you remember me." Rex bowed his head low with a touched expression.
As someone who was just a backup dancer, one of many, to be remembered by name by someone he looked up to was amazing.
"Of course. You always led the kids well, and Kim Daniel, right? I remember seeing you a while back before you got injured. It's good to see that you're doing well, and I hope your family is okay."
"Yes, they're good! Thank you for remembering me." Daniel Kim replied cheerfully, his cute dimples showing in his cheeks.
"Ah, how could I forget, the dance genius with the cute face and the deep voice who won a national dance competition?"
