If you can’t debut, you’ll get a fatal disease.
The explanation from the production team for episode 036 was simple.
You can also relax and buy goods while playing.
In other words, the meaning was this.
‘Let’s have fun with each other and enjoy the vibes of the school trip, then go get some promotion for the products you received from T1’s PPL.’
Everyone probably guessed the nuance, but the atmosphere was better than right after the ranking announcement.
The product was fine and the rules were loose.
“There is no ranking, it is done by resources.”
“Ah….”
“Once you come out, you can unconditionally win one of the products through the lottery!”
“…yes!”
The voices that answered were more comfortable.
Because it’s a composition that has nothing to lose.
‘The fact that I feel like I’m taking a break because there’s no MC must have played a part.’
…To be honest, I was also tempted by the dryer.
It was a one-room apartment anyway, so there was no place to put it, but I thought that large electronic products would come out as products of hastily planned plans.
‘The program seems to be doing very well.’
Looking at the picture of the kimchi refrigerator included in the product, I thought so, but the product pictures disappeared from the screen and large letters appeared.
[Talent Show: Random Dance]
[The one who remains until the end is the winner!]
‘I didn’t even touch these fonts.’
The hamchorong batang body was brilliant.
Whatever my impression, a five-second countdown soon appeared on the screen.
Then, a few guys who were in good condition ran out and started waiting.
[Start!]
And famous KPOP choruses flowed incessantly.
“Oooh.”
“Hey you are wrong! I have to go in!”
“What is evil?”
At first, participants who participated mechanically, probably because of the amount of time, eventually determined the winner with a conte.
After roughly 12 songs like that, the winner came out.
“Ah, thank you~”
It was a big Sejin.
“No one asked, but I will tell you what I think. I think I honed my skills at the PR live for this day! ha ha ha!”
“Woo ~ ‘Woo ~’
Big Se -jin, who had similar content in PR, smiled blatantly and quickly put a note in the draw.
“Now, my product….”
[(Jin) 1 Box of Grilled Radish Chicken Feet]
“I’ll give you a box.”
Participants burst into laughter at Sejin’s quick change of attitude. Even the staff covered their mouths and laughed, but Keun Se-jin, who was looking at this side and squinting his eyes, did not come out with an angle to be serious.
‘How long will this image of chicken feet last?’
I had a hunch that if it continued to be talked about like this, it would follow me until I retired.
Anyway, because Sejin gave a big smile and entered, the atmosphere was more relaxed.
“Give me the next one!”
“I’m riding this for real.”
After four or five more matches like that, most of the contestants were serious about talent bragging.
And a few expensive home appliances still remained as commodities.
And the sixth talent show appeared on the screen.
[Talent Show: Random Karaoke]
[The winner is the one who sings the first verse completely!]
“This is the event for me.”
“Wow, I really want to go out, but have I already won? what to do?”
I hesitated for a moment, ignoring the big push, and then went forward.
“Oh~~ Are you confident in your university?”
In fact, there was no star himself. I had no desire to make it big.
I was just defending the fact that if I show a passive appearance after climbing the ranks, I can look arrogant.
…It’s better if you win and take the dryer.
There are 7 products left, so it will be 14%, so it is a good chance to have hope.
I waited for the countdown to end with four face-to-face participants. The crew quietly left the microphone on the floor.
[Start!]
As soon as the screen changed, the prelude started immediately.
Kung-jjak-kung-jjak-kung-jjara-kung-jjak~
An addictive mulberry melody rang through the auditorium.
“…?”
“huh?”
The faces of the participants who thought KPOP would come out became blank.
Yes. What came out was the K-trot karaoke accompaniment.
“uh….”
“Wait a minute.”
The participants eagerly listened to the prelude with a confused look on their faces, but they couldn’t figure out what the song was just by listening to the prelude.
This is because there were not one or two preludes that started with a trot and exciting rhythm.
“….”
I was conflicted, then I quietly went forward and picked up the microphone.
“…!!”
“Moondae trot…?”
I could hear Gold 1’s murmur from here.
“Maybe he just caught it?”
“Hyung, do you really know that song?”
I didn’t answer the countless shouts and just started singing at the end of the prelude.
“It’s raining on Namdaemun Street in Seoul~ There’s no one I’m looking for~” “
…!!”
The participants whispered.
“Huh”
“How did you know?”
I know how to know because I have seen a lot.
When I went to shoot the event a few times, I often saw the stage of a trot singer.
In particular, it is often placed just before the idol stage, so I have heard quite a lot of songs that are popular with the elderly to the extent that they are played at the end of the event.
This song is also the stage of the original singer… When I saw a lot of flaws, I think I saw them twice a day.
Later, the singer recognized me and even winked at the camera.
Out of conscience, the memory of uploading a direct cam to YouTube came to mind. Well, that’s helpful.
“Ah~ You who I have been looking for~ You who I have hoped for~”
It is quite a famous song, so as soon as we entered the chorus, the participants sang along. I wonder if the singer felt this way at the event.
“I left Seoul~”
“Oh.”
After I sang the first verse passionately, the participants applauded with exclamations.
It’s more than cheers… …It was like a reaction when seeing a mysterious scene in a magic show.
It was a little embarrassing, but it was a success anyway, so I decided to focus on the prize drawing.
After greeting the contestants a few times, I put down the mic and grabbed the draw box.
When I opened the drawn note, I could see a silver body as if frozen in the photo.
‘A dryer… !’
[Kimchi Refrigerator]
“….”
crazy
“hey! Kimchi refrigerator!!”
“What’s going on with Moondae!”
“The you Moondae was looking for was the refrigerator.”
Participants poured in and surrounded me, chattering excitedly. I was looking at the note in a bewildered mood and suddenly realized the reality.
‘…Aren’t the products tax-excluded?’
There was no money to pay taxes.
As soon as I receive the product, I have to sell it as a used transaction and pay the tax first and fill up my bank account.
Anyway, it felt good to catch the expensive one.
Keun Se-jin, who was congratulating me next to me, secretly whispered.
“Moondae, change our products….”
“I will not.”
“yes.”

After the last cockfight, the talent show came to an end, and the shooting of the team battle began in a relaxed atmosphere.
Surprisingly, Youngrin took over as host and announced a new team fight.
“< Re-listing! Idol Inc. > It’s already the 3rd team match. Participants, I hope you will praise yourself for holding on from 77 to 30.”
It wasn’t the MC’s lively voice, but Youngrin handled the situation calmly and seriously.
Most of all, it seemed that the participants accepted it more meaningfully because it was the words of an already successful idol.
Right next to him, Gold 2 was smirking and stroking his own hair. It was spectacle.
“This 3rd team match was organized in a somewhat unusual way.”
Let’s see, so far, the team has been formed by the participants’ choices, so it was time for other factors to intervene.
However, that element was a bit peculiar.
“It is a big data algorithm.”
“…yes?”
“Big data?”
When a concept to be seen in IT news suddenly appeared, the participants looked at Youngrin with puzzled expressions.
Youngrin smiled and continued her comment.
“< Idol Co., Ltd. > analyzed the pattern of stockholders buying your stock. So, a team was formed around stocks that multiple shareholders bought together at the same time.”
In a word, it meant that viewers who spent money tied up and decided on a team among the contestants they liked.
“Detailed analysis data can be found in < Relisting! You can check it on the Idol Inc. website. Everyone, are you ready to meet your team members selected by the big data of shareholders?” “Huh.” “It’s so amazing.” The participants started to look around to see who they would end up with, whispering with bewildered faces. I also looked around the participants moderately. 'first...Seon Ah-hyun seems to have a big impact.' You can tell these two just by looking at SNS. Sure enough, even Seon Ah-hyun waved at me with her eyes shining brightly. Big Sejin took another bite and slapped me on the back and said, “Hey, please.” "uh. okay." Big Sejin giggled to himself at my calm answer. It seemed that he was trying to make fun of me. “Looks like you're ready. Then you can come out in order and pick up the box.” Behind Youngrin, a table with black boxes was set up. “Inside the box is a badge. After receiving the box, go down the hallway and enter the room marked with the badge.” And Youngrin called the participants in alphabetical order and started handing over the boxes. Of course, 'Park Moondae' was called quite early. “Park Moon University participant. Please take the box.” I took the box with the paper with the name 'Park Moon-dae' on it and went out the door. Of course, there was a staff with a camera waiting in the hallway. When I opened the box in front of him, a badge in the shape of a rabbit's head was revealed. “...rabbit?" I muttered a bit in dismay, but quickly closed my mouth, conscious of the camera. Then he looked up and checked the rooms that lined the hallway. Each room had a plaque on it. < Chick > < Cat >
< Deer >
< Puppy >
< Bear >
And in the last room, I saw the name I was looking for
.
< Rabbit >
“….”
overall…The naming sense like a kindergarten classroom stood out.
‘Because we’re only dividing teams.’
Presuming it was meant to be humorous, I immediately opened the door.
I wasn’t too nervous because all potential participants on the same team would be called later than me.
‘I’ll be the first.’
However, the moment I opened the door and stepped in, the person sitting on the floor suddenly raised his head and looked at me.
“…?”
It was Rabin Kim.
why are you here… ?
“Park Moon-dae hyung.”
Kim Rae-bin jumped up with a happy face, then slowly moved his seat and stepped aside.
It seemed to be a consideration to sit in the middle.
There’s only two of us, so… ?
“I never thought we would be on the same team again. Very nice to meet you.”
“…I know. I’m counting on you.”
“yes.”
There was a calm conversation, but complicated reasoning was going on in my head.
‘Why is Kim Rae-bin on the same team?’
The scene where I interact with Kim Rae-bin was broadcast only in the 7th episode immediately before.
So, does that mean that the vote rate after episode 7 was big enough to affect GNOME’s ‘Big Data Algorithm’?
‘Of course, it would be possible if only the stocks of the previous ranking announcement were considered… ….’
As I was weighing the possibilities, I realized a simple fact.
‘aha.’
It was because there were very few participants with Kim Rae-bin.
I don’t know how they were weighted, but it was quite persuasive that the only participants who were related to Kim Rae-bin were me and Cha Yoo-jin, so I was on my team.
‘Well, it’s good if there are high-ranking participants.’
I neatly organized my thoughts and sat down on the floor. Kim Rae-bin immediately started talking again.
“Hyung, the song you just sang at the talent show is my favorite song too.”
“…okay?”
I wondered if it was necessary for me to know that Kim Rae-bin liked trot, but I passed the time by talking casually until the next member of the team came in.
And after quite some time, the next team member opened the door and came in.
