Cheonglim Art High School
This department operates with a small, elite group of less than 150 students. Each student holds significant value, and it is the dream of all idol trainees. They are tested on their skills once a month through a monthly evaluation.
This department educates students on entertainment 'planning'. Those who achieve excellent grades may be scouted as producers for in-school units.
A gathering place for hidden geniuses. They auction new songs to units and imbue the team's identity through direction.
The reason Cheongrim Arts High School holds an unparalleled position stems from its self-operated ranking system.
It is literally a system that 'lines up' popularity. It is updated monthly, and rankings are determined by combining scores from monthly evaluations with online buzz.
Top-ranked students receive various benefits, including support for state-of-the-art studios and broadcast appearances.
Indeed, Cheongrim Arts High School is obsessed with competition that can be quantified by objective numbers (rankings). And this long-cherished project, a collaboration between the Cheongrim Arts High School board and major entertainment agencies, is Stage 100.
This survival program was organized with the goal of forming a debut group with the top 9 members selected through a year of training at Cheongrim Arts High School. It is airing for the first time this year!

A system adopted to more efficiently operate the ranking system and end-of-month evaluations.
Students form a unit in their second year that they will be with until graduation.
