They were not fibbing, it's gonna be a minute at least for EN, so I hope you guys are comfy with the girls that are here right now. We're doing our best! [...]

Since I saw a few people allude to this around the board but haven't seen anyone transcribe it, there u go.
I don't think this completely disproves EN5 this year, btw, since iirc Mori didn't meet advent until like 1 month before. I'm not sure to what extent the other girls are involved with pre-debut talents during the early stages.
