If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 027
I called up the achievement achievement pop-up I had turned off.
[Call of fame!]
50 000 people remembered your presence!
: Rare Attribute Draw ☜ Click!
It appeared after the first episode aired, so it was already a pop-up a few weeks ago.
‘I did it unintentionally.’
In fact, not long after the 3rd episode aired, I also achieved the 100,000 people achievement, and I gave points as a reward for that.
So my current status window is like this.
[Name: Park Moon-dae (Ryu Gun-woo)]
Level: 12.
Title: None
Singing: A
Dance: C+
Appearance: B+
Talent: C
Characteristics: Infinite Potential After hearing, you’re right (C) Look at me! (D)
! Abnormal Status: Debut or Death
Remaining Points: 1
For reference, the practice points obtained during the team match had already been distributed one by one to singing and dancing before the team stage.
Oh, wasn’t it a waste to enter Book A if you added one more to your appearance stats? Just one point left.
Of course it was a waste.
‘but…Unlike other stats, if the appearance changes rapidly, it is suspected that it is not growth, but the help of medicine.’
Especially if it’s a change in the level of changing the alphabet.
I raised it from C+ to B- in the beginning. There was no excuse for going from B- to A- right away.
Even going from B- to B+ right away was barely an excuse for a month and a change in hairstyle.
‘what…I was thinking of strengthening the image of a dog, so it was nice to have both.’
Looking at the search rankings, golden retrievers seem to be trending these days.
Well, the chatter got longer. Let’s go ahead and pick up the characteristics from the pop-up.
‘I wish I could come up with something useful.’
In the new pop-up, the familiar roulette machine spins round and round before stopping. It’s a brass box.
The silver box, which seemed to be of high grade, was not caught this time either. As I was about to think it was unfortunate, I saw the name of the attribute.
[Attribute: ‘Look at me! (D)’ Earned!]
People pay slightly more attention to your actions.
‘…?’
why is this coming up again?
The pop-up didn’t stop there and added a new phrase.
[Check the same characteristics!]
Do you want to synthesize ‘Look at me (D)’?
“….”
This…Isn’t it ‘enhancing with the same item’ that is common in mass-produced manga games?
I have no idea where this system came from or where it came from.
‘Once you debut and avoid sudden death… I need to find out.’
Anyway, since there were no other numbers, I synthesized them.
[Synthesis Success!]
Acquired ‘I want to be a center (C)’!
People pay a lot of attention to your actions
– When activated, the ‘Kisu’ stat increases by one level
“…!”
The name was terrible, but the content was impressive.
It’s welcome if you raise your stats. It was such a trait, but it feels like a knight resurrected.
But it’s the ‘ki’ stat. A very strange ability has risen.
To put it vulgarly, it’s the ability to not show off in front of the camera, and to put it simply… Well, I think it’s a star.
Coincidentally, the participant with the highest stats was next to him.
“like this! The team has been decided~”
“Wow!”
I heard the MC’s progress comment as if the recruitment of team members was all over.
I applauded moderately and secretly checked Cha Yu-jin’s status window.
[Name: Cha Yujin]
Singing: C+ (B+)
(Rap: B)
Dance: A+ (S+)
Appearance: A (S)
Talent: A+ (EX)
Trait: Black Hole (A)
Looking back, it was a terrifying status window.
Stat A 3 times in a row is a number that makes me want to see this kind of guy as an idol.
In particular, Cha Yoo-jin had the highest talent stat among the participants in terms of current state and potential.
It was higher than the judge, Youngrin, so it meant that it was higher than most current idols.
And now, one of the lowest stats in my status window was ‘Kis’, which had just been calibrated.
It would be nice if I could get a hint during this team match as to which of the two skills should be uploaded first.
“Now everyone, you just need to start by saying hello to the team members! As soon as the greetings are over, we will introduce the second team battle!”
First of all, it was a question of whether the team battle would end well.
I thought silently as I looked around the faces of the team members who sat quietly following the MC’s words.
‘Let’s not get involved no matter what happens.’
* * *
“Ah, please.”
After suppressing the other contestant’s strange spirit fight, Ryu Cheong-wu, who took the leader, greeted the teammates with a smile.
Everyone clapped their palms, but I could clearly feel the tension underneath.
‘This…I think I’ll just get caught even if I don’t go into editing.’
The production crew did a wonderful job of capturing this kind of restraint.
“Did you say hello?”
“yes!”
“Ah, it’s nice to see a warm appearance~ Shall we announce the second team battle task then?”
“Uuuuuuuuu!”
Even when the participants clamored for the words of the MC, the participants in this team were relatively respectful of face.
‘It’s just that feeling of self-sacrificing when you’re in the same group with students from other departments in liberal arts.’
Anyway, it’s not a problem I can solve, so let’s leave it alone and focus on the MC’s words.
“As for the 2nd team battle, there is a content that Idol Co., Ltd. has been steadily doing~ Do you know what it is? ah! you’re right. It is the 〈Hidden Masterpiece Rediscovery〉 project!”
He’s doing that this season too.
“On the homepage, that…You were voted for out of 50 songs, right?”
“huh.”
huddled around The other contestants are only reacting in clichés as if they already knew everything.
“Masterpieces that unfortunately did not see the light of day for various reasons! It is a project that is newly reinterpreted by 〈Idol Co., Ltd.〉 and presented to the public once again, and our shareholders have selected several idol masterpieces again this year!”
It didn’t come out, but the song was good, so I meant to remake it and use it like their own song.
‘The composition fee will be high, so there is no creative economy.’
While I was admiring the production team’s amazing ability to cut costs, someone suddenly spoke to me.
Surprisingly, it was Lee Se-jin.
“…Is there a song you want to do?”
“hmm?”
It was his expression of regret when he said it, but anyway, a question is a question, so he answered.
“It would be nice if it was a bit addictive.”
It would be a song with low popularity, but it meant that I didn’t want to do a song that didn’t even have popular appeal.
“What about your brother?”
“I am…I wish I could do < Base >.”
It was a good song. 〈Base〉 is the title song of a popular idol during an unknown period, just like the soft and sweet debut song performed by the previous team.
I actually saw the stage, but I remember that the concept was strong and the melody was addictive.
“That song is good. It would be nice to make it on stage.”
“…yes.”
Sejin Lee nodded in affirmation.
The moment I wondered if I had finally begun to take care of my social skills, Cha Yoo-jin suddenly intervened in the conversation.
“I like that song too. ‘Base~ Uh ringing beating~’”
“…Ah yes.”
Lee Se-jin closed his mouth with an uncomfortable expression.
‘This guy is like this every time.’
If this is the case, I want to ask why you are here.
Anyway, since I had a camera, it was better not to have to float. Let’s fix it up a bit.
“I see. I would love to do it this time.”
“is it so!”
Cha Yoo-jin clearly affirmed with a thoughtless expression.
‘He had no sense or context, but he was a positive guy.’
Since they are raising their ratings in their own way, the MC finally announced the song selection method.
“There are 7 items on that table in the front!”
Clearly, a table was visible at a considerable distance from the participants.
“These items are belongings of different ‘Hidden Masterpieces’ original singers~ You can use one of these belongings through reasoning and intuition! You just have to choose.”
“Huh.”
“Ah~ I can’t do that!”
“The method is ah traditional. It’s running! Leaders, please prepare!”
“Run?”
A situation has come where Ryu Chung-woo, who is good at sports, can benefit from being the leader.
Of course, it would be effective only if you could match the music selection by looking at the original songwriter’s stuff.
However, such an approach was possible.
“That Pouch! It looks like a woman!”
“A baseball…Are you a baseball fan?”
“Oh, it’s a skeleton pencil. Anything unique?”
Whispers were heard everywhere. Everyone seems to be rolling their heads.
Ah, this team came to an agreement in an instant.
“I would like you to bring the item that looks the most expensive when checked at close range.”
“Mmm yes!”
I guess it’s a guess that anyone who sells expensive things to a place like this is likely to be a successful celebrity right now, but it just sounded plausible.
It was probably a judgment that considered not only the song selection but also the amount of broadcasting.
To Kim Rae-bin’s words, Ryu Cheong-wu nodded in agreement.
Soon after, the MC called the leaders again.
“Hey, leaders. Are you ready?”
“yes!”
“Then come on…depart!”
The leaders ran up viciously and threw their hands over the bedside table.
‘No matter how I look at it, I can’t seem to afford to choose anything over there.’
If that’s the case, isn’t this selection just luck?
“Okay got it!”
However, Liu Cheng-wu snatched something and returned with a smile on his face.
Then, with a confident face, he held out the item he was holding.
It was a baseball.
“This was a ball with Ryu Wan-beom’s autograph!”
“…!!”
“wow.”
Everyone widened their eyes in surprise. Ryu Wan-beom was a famous hitter who entered the major leagues.
Cha Yu-jin immediately asked.
“How do you know?”
“I watch some baseball too. So I recognized it right away.”
Ryu Cheng-wu smiled and tossed and caught the baseball. The energy of things going well temporarily relieved the tension within the team and created a comfortable atmosphere.
But it didn’t last long.
“The owner of the baseball… Ah, this is Lee Chan-woo, the vocalist of the idol band ‘Island of the Sun’!”
“…??”
The owner of the baseball is… It was because he was a stranger unknown to anyone.
“who are you?”
No one on the team could give an answer to Cha Yoo-jin’s brain-clear question.
“Whoa!”
Right next to them, Choi Won-gil’s team was excited and trembled.
“hello. I am Jeong Ha-im, who is active as a movie star.”
“Uh uh….”
The owner of the pouch chosen by Sejin Keun, the leader of the team, was a famous female actress.
I felt a strange déjà vu because of the first team battle.
I shrugged.
‘What could be like this.’
Anyway, the most important thing was the song.
Of course, if a famous celebrity appeared, it would be advantageous to secure the quantity.
In addition, it was also an advantage that it could block reactions such as ‘You even take away the precious song of a poor unknown idol’.
But in the end, having a good song was an overwhelming advantage. In the audition program, the stage has to be good.
So check out the song… ….
“The song I will entrust to you is…It is < Burning Like the Sun >!”
oh.
oh…. this… what’s up
“ah!”
“i know!”
Other team members exclaimed.
“I’m glad it’s a song I know….”
“Sir, I am listening to you!”
There was a lot of relief within the team.
He seemed to be rejuvenated by the fact that he was well-known and that it was a good song.
The original singer also introduced the song eagerly, as if he were excited to see it.
“Although < Burning Like the Sun > was released 7 years ago, it is still loved as a cheering song. People who like baseball have probably heard the chorus at least once.”
“Oh, I know. It’s a great song.”
When Liu Chengwu replied sadly, the original singer smiled happily. Cha Yu-jin opens her eyes wide and asks a question.
“How about the chorus? I don’t know much about baseball!”
The original singer cleared his throat as if he had been waiting for that question.
“Oh hmm. ‘Now wake up~ Like that blazing sun~’ This is it.”
“aha. That’s right.”
“haha!”
The team members laughed amicably at Cha Yu-jin’s sloppy grammar.
Creating a warm atmosphere with the original singer looked very good compared to before.
the problem is…It was that the outlook was not good.
Yes. After this cut, I thought I would put the subtitle ‘Two Days Later’ and show the atmosphere of the lost team as a trailer.
Because that song is not suitable for idol survival at all….
