TeSTAR's roommate assignment.

'This must be the fourth time, right?'

By this point, even the fans recognize it as content with its own history and tradition.

'So far, it's mostly been done through board games.'

So, thinking that another similar type of game for room assignment might feel a bit stale, we decided to change things up a bit.

"Hello~ TeSTAR members."

"Hello!"

This time, we've brought in experts.

Currently, all seven of us were seated in a circle at the office of a communication research institute run by communication experts.

Aside from the experts, the room's table setup looked like something out of a daytime drama, with only the front left empty — that was where the cameras and the production team were situated. But having done this setup so many times, everyone seemed quite used to it by now.

I looked at the guys staring at the expert with faces full of anticipation.

The expert wore a gentle smile.

"I understand that you've requested our assistance for roommate assignments today, is that correct?"

"Yes!"

Bae Sejin's face was full of life as he answered loudly. His voice sounded the most energetic in the past month, probably buoyed by the hope of getting a single-person room.

'Even though he said living in the living room is manageable.'

No matter how much one might say they enjoy the living room, choosing to sleep there because it's uncomfortable to enter the bedroom was entirely different from actually preferring it.

Keun Sejin seemed to have glanced at Bae Sejin with a bit of dissatisfaction, but in a moment fitting for a filming, the expression vanished almost instantly.

The institute's director, following behind the experts, looked around at us all with a beaming smile and continued.

"Our Communication Relationship Research Institute will match you with the most suitable roommate through behaviour analysis and interviews, based on an algorithm that takes into account the group members' personalities, tendencies, and living habits."

This was the gist, skipping the product placement introduction part.

"Whaa!"

Essentially it meant, 'Roommate Matching Is Science'.

'Sounds plausible enough.'

To be honest, it seems like a repackaged venture of an existing business, but it did sound impressive nonetheless.

'The fans will find it entertaining.'

Placing this analysis alongside the existing habits and quirks of TeSTAR members will enhance our character traits even more.

It was the same principle as MBTI. The sense of belonging that comes from sharing the same traits. The image enhancement that comes from having different traits.

Keun Sejin, perhaps trying to energize the atmosphere, exclaimed again.

"Wow, I'm so excited!"

"..."

I got it, so stop hitting me on the shoulder.

"Then we'll proceed with the group activities!"

"Ooh!"
