June's Plan

"Alright, we'll call some of the boys for the interviews tonight," Yejin announced. "Once we announce your name, please come backstage so we can prepare you for an interview." 

"Ren...Zeth...Sehun...C-Jay....and Yuri! We'll be waiting backstage. We'll start off with Ren," she continued before going down the stage. 

Ren quickly followed Yejin backstage for an interview. This was a common tradition in the past seasons of Rising Stars. Since all elimination episodes were pre-recorded back then, trainees were asked to share their feelings after the elimination, and it was edited in a way that gained the viewers' sympathy. 

As Ren walked backstage, June clicked his tongue in annoyance. It was obvious that they weren't going to give him a chance to explain himself and his real situation.
