Episode 018
“Wow, I’m really nervous!”
“I hope we come out a lot.”
The sweaty voices of the teenagers echoed through the camp hall.
‘I feel good too.’
He came to the set late at night, wore an uncomfortable uniform, and sat in an uncomfortable iron chair while filming.
Heck, there are cameras everywhere, so it’s hard to be uncomfortable. It was just me too.
Aren’t Gold 1 2 and Big Se-jin putting up with all the fuss they came all this way to see if they got tired of talking among themselves?
“How do you feel before the first episode, Moondae hyung?”
“Ah~ They say you’re ready to become a ranking legend?”
“Amazing! Mr. Moondae!”
“stop….”
My life, where I can’t ignore such nonsense, is a legend, really… ….
I want to drink something cold.
‘…Oh, there are drinks.’
Looking at it now, there were ion drinks placed under each seat. Seeing that the trademarks are clearly visible, it seems that they have finally won the PPL.
It was a rare maker, but it was good. I opened a drink and gulped down.
And I was about to spit it out.
“….”
I can see why the PPL was added.
It’s terribly tasteless.
“Countdown coming soon! Shout out from 10!”
Along with the shouts of the staff, the logo disappeared from the front beam projector screen and a number appeared.
“Ten! 9! 8!….”
When the countdown ended and the melody of the theme song “Me” started playing, cheers and applause came from everywhere.
That’s how the long-awaited episode 1 got on the air.
* * *
The first episode was reflected for 2 hours due to special programming.
This means that the participants sat on steel chairs for 120 minutes and could not move except for reactions for broadcasting.
But I don’t think the participants cared about that.
One thing is important.
‘How long have I been on TV?’
Of course, there must have been a lot more disappointed participants.
How was I?
Well, after the filming is over, let’s review the contents along with the reactions found on the Internet.
First of all, all sorts of Internet reactions, such as critical articles and best comments about Azusa, were openly broadcast on the screen.
And the subtitles appeared.
[Lots of controversy!]
[Really < Re-listing! How did the real shooting of [Idol Inc.] go?] Viewers reacted the same as before. It is a story that I kept watching the broadcast while swearing. -No, you don't skip stuff like that, do you just send it out? After all, you're not going to a cable class lol -Feels like eating mara-flavored popcorn . [Ah~ I'm so nervous!] 'Oh Choi Won-gil.' Yes. The group evaluation that Choi Won-gil belongs to was broadcast first. Choi Won-gil received quite a bit of space as a typical youngest position. 'I'm sure the first contestant was someone else.' And the first participant did not receive a portion after that. 'I don't think he'll come out anymore.' Overall, it was like that. The state of being selected by the production team itself. Some contestants didn't even get a proper reaction cut. What's interesting is that the participants who were members of my previous group received quite a bit. Beginning with Choi Won-gil, the evaluation of Big Se-jin and Gold 1 2 was broadcast before the first part was even finished. I felt fine. When entering a team fight, it's good to start out with the spotlight as a good team. 'Of course, the most important thing is my quantity.' If my evaluation was not a compilation, it should have appeared in the first episode in order. And fortunately it came out. [The next participant is entering now!] My portion first appeared at the end of Part 1. It was a strange feeling to see Moondae Park walking up to the stage on the screen. Should I say it feels like watching someone imitate what I did? Behind me, Sejin and Gold started hitting me on the back, grabbing my shoulders, and shaking me. It leaves no room for sentimentality. “Hey hey you come out! see?" “...Oh it's me.” If you shake it more, you won't be able to see it even if you have eyes, so stop it. I couldn't say that, so I returned a moderate response and focused on the screen again. There was a conversation with the judges. [Yes, participants. Please introduce yourself.] [...] It's called Park Moondae. Thank you very much.] As soon as Moondae Park's greeting on stage was over, the interview was immediately inserted. It was a positive sign because it was evidence that the editing went into the effort. [Q: Is there anything you want to say?] [Park Moon-dae: No. (Silence)] [Park Moon-dae: Nothing in particular.] The non-laughing BGM and the fighting sound effects were a bonus. “...hmm." Let's see... ...It must have been an answer to the question of whether there was any dissatisfaction with the team members. do you put it like this? It was an edit that made me withdraw the word positive sign in 7 seconds. 'This is cheap.' The judges' bewildered reactions flowed from the screen even more exaggeratedly. [No, that's all?] [Yes. I don't have a career to introduce.] As soon as that answer was over, another interview cut appeared. [Park Moon-dae: (Before appearing on this show) I had no experience in the entertainment industry.] [Q: Have you ever been trained?] [Park Moon-dae: No] I thought I was X here. I deliberately made it hard to cut it because I was worried that I would cut the answer, but I didn't know that it would be made into a short answer. At this time, the reaction on the Internet was also brutal. -The answer is really insincere. -Concept lover? -You seem to have no motivation, but why do you crawl out to live as a Gatban person;; -It's a joke or laugh because I can't do it, and all the absurd whispers of the judges on the screen came out with subtitles. [Oh, looking at the application form, there's really nothing there.] [That's right.] The stiff expressions of the contestants who sat down after the screening and whispered cuts passed by in an instant. I wonder where it was cut from? The next words of the judges were added to the screen effect as if they were saying something sarcastic. [Then let's see the stage.] [Yes] On the screen, Moondae Park held the microphone and played the accompaniment. And the moment the first verse comes out. [Ding-ddong! It's the sound of an ice water purifier~] An advertisement appeared. It was an interstitial advertisement for Cable's privilege. "omg!" “Brother, don’t worry too much.” Exaggerated reactions and worries poured in from all around. "Are you okay?" 'The guy who hasn't even made a cut yet is worried about me... ?' The atmosphere was too hot, but I think it must be the camera's fault. I answered calmly. “It’s okay to appear on TV.” Of course it was bullshit. Whatever you actually do, edit it and you're done. but.... I laughed heartily. 'I don't think it will kill me at all.' The fact that the interim advertisement entered the middle of the evaluation meant that it was okay to cut off the flow once. In other words, what comes after the commercial won't annoy viewers. The short interstitial advertisement ended quickly and the prelude played again. By this time, public opinion on the Internet was hitting the ground. -I'm not really curious, but there's even an advertisement . The comments stopped for a moment. [I remember the me I knew....] [...!!] The images of the wide-eyed judges and the participants suddenly raising their heads were constantly cross-edited. -? -What is it -Eng -Why are you good at it? '...you're good.' With the editing added, it came out like some kind of reclusive genius showed up at an audition. Even ambiguous hand movements that couldn't even be called choreography were cut well, so it looked plausible. It was a much more favorable editing than I thought. 'I guessed that they were trying to have fun with a twist by lowering expectations in front and showing the stage well.' [Like every day is a party, woo~] In the high notes in the second half, there was even a cut where judge Mudy shuts up. 'I don't think that came from my evaluation?' Did you mess with it in the interview and offset it like this? While I was in the middle of the day, public opinion on the internet turned around in an instant. -Wow, you 're really good . Buying stocks Even the production team spared the short silence after the song ended. [Thank you for listening.] [...] ....] A close-up of the reaction of the other participants along with the silence made it a needlessly dramatic scene. The explosive reactions of the judges that followed were also quickly illuminated one by one, and large subtitles were attached to the choreographer's words as if they were saying a famous quote. [You know I did a good job, right?] [...] ...I practiced hard to sing well.] [No, things like this are just innate. You're talented.] If there's a problem, it's that after editing like that, my reaction to that remark has become relatively boring. And maybe it was on purpose. [Then, have you had any special lessons?] [Yes.] [Not at all? So, even at the academy?] [Yes.] Just looking at the reaction on the Internet, it was like this. -Haha yeah, I don't think he practiced hard -Mundae, he doesn't have a soul in his answer -He had a soul when he sang, where did he go ? It was positive. hmm. The strands were roughly caught. 'Inconsiderate... Did you catch the character as a normal person at My Pace?' I'm going to get criticized a bit, but it wasn't a bad start. no, it was rather good. If the editing of the team battle after that wasn't crazy enough, it seemed like it would have passed without difficulty until the 2nd round with this initial recognition. 'If it's the flow, I guess I could wrap up the dance and hand it over.' With hopeful forebodings, the contents began to appear on the screen. It was about the request for a dance by judge Youngrin. The internet response around this area was ambiguous. -I guess I can't dance like that . -Wow, but I want to dance . Then, is this song possible?] [Uh...?] However, the comments started to get excited again as soon as the broadcast showed Moondae Park asking for a song selection and the staff shaking at his words. -What is it -What is it ? -What did you apply for ? [!!!!] Subtitles full of exclamation marks and the judges spraying water while Park Moon-dae dancing 〈POP☆CON〉 with serious expressions were cross-edited, and the atmosphere went to another world. “....” “Hahahaha!!” The voices of the contestants roared from all directions. sincerely...It was embarrassing. 'no...I just wanted to make it look like I worked hard on an easy song.' He came out like a sincere idiot to the popcorn. I was worried that it would become an internet meme like this, but I knew the score only after reading it. - ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ What is it cute ? ...good night?' The response was better than when I sang. My God.
