If I can’t debut, I’ll get a fatal disease. As if
I was almost dragged by the writer of episode 003, nothing special happened at the broadcasting station I visited. It was about a casual interview with the camera in front.
At least there was no formal request to dance. Of course, there was no advice on how to go to a dance academy.
It was also proof that the role expected of me was solid.
Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. The important thing is that I was put on the list of contestants.
However, there were unexpected factors.
The first recording date was much closer than I expected.
“…Ten days later?”
“is it so. Park Moon-dae just came in last. Originally, I don’t get a seat like this, but I was really lucky~ I got this seat because Moondae-kun is so good.”
It packs the sound of soldering bread very well. Even in the midst of a little panic, I thought deeply.
It wasn’t worth the expense just because he was a bit more polished, so it was worth being nice to him.
Of course, if you open the lid and find it useless, it will change as if it was like that.
There are few areas where people lose money as quickly as this neighborhood.
Besides, it can’t be a proper request to have you prepare for filming and an evaluation song after 10 days by yourself without any advice from the general public.
It’s natural to talk like it’s nothing, but if it was a participant with an agency, the company might have protested.
It’s an arrangement, it’s naked, and it’s just that I’m just laying down the insta, so I’m asking you to curse. It’s going to be edited out to the point of being criticized.
But this much was to be expected.
“…yes. thank you.”
I nodded my head as if I hadn’t noticed anything, but nervously at the shooting date that was just around the corner.
A look of satisfaction passed from the artist.
“We’re grateful~ Then we’ll contact you again for details.”
It was a congratulatory order. I left the broadcasting station without regret and made plans for the next ten days.
Since the preparation time was short, it seemed that we had to use more extreme methods than planned.
* * *
After ten busy days, the first day of shooting came.
It’s a natural story given the structure of the survival program, but first, it started with a screening to evaluate each individual participant.
1st screening.
If you’ve seen an idol survival show at least once, you can roughly guess it, but it’s not uncommon for the hardened impression to last until the end of the program.
So, if you are a participant who does not have any special attention, it is the worst to hit vaguely.
Rather, if it is completely ruined and becomes a joke, depending on the future editing direction, even a growth narrative can be added.
However, there is really no answer if it is edited without revealing any special features here.
That’s not to say, of course, that we’re aiming to dishonor viewers.
“Do you remember my number? It is called by number. If you are guided, please enter this hallway~”
The filming began with deliberately taking pictures of the participants walking through the set hallway one by one.
It is supposed to be produced for the purpose of putting it in a teaser, but the shooting time for that 40-second video has already exceeded 2 hours.
That’s because there were only 77 participants.
‘They’re only pure children.’
I looked around at the seats scattered around the empty lot of the set, which is embarrassing to even call it a waiting room, and lost a bit of motivation.
No matter how much it’s a status window and regression, it’s because I finally realized that it was embarrassing to try to become an idol among these kids.
“Hey there.”
One of the kids who used to talk to me around me also talked to me.
I don’t know if this guy is just excited or if he’s trying to reveal his face.
The important thing is that he looked like a middle school student.
You’re getting older and you’re making a statement for the purpose of forming a social network with middle school students… ….
“Did you apply alone?”
“yes.”
“And me too. Oh, how old are you… ?”
“…Twenty.”
My mouth was itchy to try to cheat a 9-year-old, but it felt surprisingly good.
“Do you have an agency?”
“no.”
“Oh right! Usually, Azusa appears in a lot of cases with her agency. What agency were you originally from? ….”
“I never had it before.”
“ah…That’s right.”
Immediately, the middle school student suddenly lost his sincerity.
Then, after roughly speaking, he left to talk to someone else.
He already had a good understanding of society and was a guy who wanted to succeed.
Of course, you have to hide that head-rolling attitude from the camera, but that’s your job.
anyway. It’s bloody to say that he’s been doing that since middle school.
This time, I wondered if I had made an absurd decision because I was caught up in an unrealistic situation. But it was already spilled water.
“We will move our set!”
This is because filming for the main broadcast has finally begun.
I followed the middle and high school students moving in groups like meerkat.
To wait my turn next to the main stage where the first judging takes place.
What I was called was roughly in the middle of the first half.
* * *
“Participant Sejin Lee B…It’s number 15! Please have a seat.”
“thank you!”
At the words of the MC, one of the contestants who was judged bowed his head.
I was one of the four contestants who were judged together because they were from the same entertainment company.
At least it was something that could be salvaged, but the production team was not very comfortable.
‘It’s extreme.’
Writer Ryu Seo-rin, who was turning the pen, frowned.
Season 3 has less investment than the previous season. It was natural. Because season 2 was ruined and barely started again.
In order to get rid of the shadow of season 2 by running up to funny subtitles like ‘re-listing’, all the production crew prepared for the broadcast with gritted teeth.
However, there was a part that could be seen even if I somehow made up for it with networking and planning, and even if I hid it.
One of them was the talent pool.
Several properly trained candidates were leaked to other audition programs.
In order to fit 77 people, the ratio of empty gangjeong increased when they were filled with people who looked decent even on the outside.
If there are too many people who can’t do it, no matter how much they try to make it fun with editing, there is a limit.
It was close to impossible to get a guy with no skills to appear in Korean audition pros. I somehow tried to wrap up my lack of skills, and even if I stumbled a little, all sorts of words poured out.
Focusing on the keywords ‘no jam’ and ‘deceit’ rather than hatred accompanied by topicality.
At least, the number of participants in the first team, which was marked as the debut ticket, was filled, but it was difficult to manage the program without a dark horse.
‘Similar to the one coming out now.’
The contestant to be evaluated this time was a raw beginner who was put in with 10 days left before the first live broadcast.
At the last minute, one of the contestants was drunk and drove, so I didn’t expect much because I was selected in a hurry.
‘The name…what was it I’ll tell you when the exam comes out.’
That participant had a moderately good voice, and the mask wasn’t bad, and he had a story to use in case of an emergency.
Thanks to that, she surpassed her standard point, which was lowered by urgency.
However, even if you add up all the advantages, it is only better than the subs.
‘what…It can be used for comparison.’
The judges were also chatting with uninspired expressions after flipping through documents that had nothing special about them except family matters.
So, she felt the same way.
‘Yeah, I’d rather not do much. I’ll attract aggro.’
I get tired of people who can’t do halfway, but a few people will fill the richness of a pro even if they can’t do it outside the standard. Under the saying that ridicule is also interest.
Since it was a stage prepared by an ordinary person in 10 days, there was a fair chance that it would be laughable.
She glanced at the stage with weak anticipation.
“I will enter the stage for the next contestant!”
Just then, the regular participant was coming up on stage.
Fortunately, I guess I got the shop right, and my face looked more compliant than then.
The problem was the mysterious atmosphere, as if it were boring or gloomy.
I thought it was because of family matters last time, but that kind of attitude in front of so many cameras?
In fact, it was because he had seen countless scenes full of cameras during proxy shooting, but the artist, who had no way of knowing, was puzzled.
‘…Are you the type who doesn’t show nervousness?’
It didn’t matter anyway. Then you can catch it as an image of being arrogant about a subject you can’t do. The writer shook his head hard.
In the meantime, Park Moon-dae, who came up to the stage, was listening to the MC.
“yes. Participant. please introduce yourself.”
“…It’s called Park Moondae. i look forward to.”
And bowed his head. Then, a small laugh and a snort came out from the judges’ seat.
“Is that all?”
A male judge at the microphone asked in a laughing voice.
It was a slightly negative nuance. It must have meant that he didn’t speak properly, but Park Mun-dae nodded seriously.
“yes. I have no experience to introduce.”
Then, laughter broke out in the judges’ seat.
“Oh, what a unique friend!”
“It’s fun~”
a few whispered in small whispers. Of course I’ll catch you on the mic.
“Oh, looking at the application form here, there is really nothing.”
“I know.”
Gradually, ‘Why did you come out?’ It is time for the same statement to appear.
However, as if they thought that it would be more impressive to do it after the stage, all the judges moderately hid their laughter.
And the writers thought. There might be some usable cuts out there.
“Then let’s see the stage.”
“yes.”
With malicious interest, the participant accepted the microphone handed over by the staff.
Shortly thereafter, interludes began to flow.
And everyone was bewildered.
Where is this song from?
