There was a change in the mentor's panel. The production crew had added seven extra seats to accommodate the special mentors who were set to give their judgments.
Upon Song Yazhi's arrival, the other mentors stood up and bowed in profound respect. He was regarded as a distinguished artist on another level.
"I didn't really expect seeing you here, Teacher Song," remarked Xyrisa, extending her hand for a shake. "It's truly an honor to meet you."
Luke and Ben, two members of the boy group LayV, also took turns shaking hands with Song Yazhi.
Amidst these respectful gestures, Song Yazhi chuckled and signaled for everyone to sit. "Honestly, I had doubts about mentoring in an idol survival show."
