If you can’t debut, you
‘ll get a fatal disease Episode 042 Big Sejin smiled bitterly.
“My agency…They are happy friends.”
“ah.”
At that moment, the aspiring idols roughly grasped the atmosphere.
And I, who was the data arm of the past, also noticed.
‘There… It’s a place that’s famous for not being able to respond early to controversy.’
Come to think of it, it’s already been over an hour since the post that the agency hasn’t contacted me even though it’s been four months, and now all kinds of social media are in a frenzy. If it was a large and fast agency, they would have already contacted Sejin the Great.
“what…. Still, I came because it was a place that gave out good albums. haha.”
Big Sejin smiled formally a few times and got up from the bed.
“Then how about asking a friend to upload it? You have a lot of Chi friends.”
“hmm…. According to our regulations, official internet activities are prohibited during filming, so let’s ask the kids we know. I know some kids who will be excited if you send them a picture and ask them to upload it.”
“….”
‘Should I just let it go.’
Even now, I’m on the verge of regretting that I’ve interfered too much. However, in the end, I gave advice because I thought I would touch it until the end.
“If you invite someone directly, there will be a record of that too. I’d rather tell the production team that they’ll upload it themselves.”
‘I think there’s a culprit among your acquaintances right now, but be careful,’ he said euphemistically. Big Sejin nodded as if he noticed at once.
“That would be better. Let’s see… ….”
Keun Se-jin opened the notepad application on his smartphone and smiled at the rest of the team who were still huddled together.
“Everyone must be tired, but thank you for caring. I will write quietly alone. You guys should go to bed now.”
“Hey, it’s a bit awkward to leave you alone in a situation like this and sleep alone.”
Keun Se-jin answered Gold 1’s concerns seriously.
“If we can’t all sleep together, we won’t really see hell tomorrow….”
“….”
There’s an awful lot of work to do tomorrow.
It was a very persuasive statement.
In the end, the rest of the team returned to their beds with embarrassed faces.
I also lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Unfortunately, I woke up early in the morning. It was because I was thirsty.
‘I guess I talked too much before going to bed.’
When I quietly got up and went to the sink, Sejin Sejin, who was sitting at the table and looking at his smartphone, reacted.
“uh. Aren’t you sleeping?”
“Because I’m thirsty.”
“I see.”
Seeing that he couldn’t sleep yet, it seemed that Sejin hadn’t finished the clarification work yet. Or are you still scouring public opinion on the internet?
Neither of these things boded very well.
“Did you write everything down?”
“hmm…. It was small, but.”
Keun Se-jin looked down at his smartphone with a conflicted expression and continued talking after a while.
“Anyway, it seemed like if I uploaded it myself, another sound would come out with it.”
“What sound?”
“Well, first of all, people will say that communicating directly on social media during filming is a privilege…. If my explanation was firm, I would say, ‘I didn’t know my personality was like that’, but if I was warm, I would say ‘I was stabbed like that’ or something like that.”
It was a likely scenario.
“So I just pretended to be an anonymous acquaintance and tried to write it down. Do you want to take a look?”
Big Sejin handed over the smartphone.

….
“….”
“how is it?”
what do you do with this
If this was a normal academic life, it would be a good explanation. Everything you need to say goes into it, and it’s easy to see because it’s in two brackets.
The problem is that the article was not suitable for an Internet anonymous site.
I looked behind me involuntarily. A bed was waiting for me.
But if I tell you to post this, there is a very high probability that everything I did at midnight will be in vain.
‘under….’
sleep… sleep tomorrow
“…This is not it.”
“what?”
“No.”
I ended up crying and bringing my smartphone to eat mustard.
In the end, I’m doing it. X haircut.

3:30 in the morning.
It was a time when most people were going to bed. Around the time when only hardcore Internet users were counting down the night and talking nonsense.
It was the timing that the big Sejin’s school violence controversy had swept away once and only came up as intermittent chatter.
At that time, an article was posted on an anonymous idol-related site.
————=
[Yeah, I think I found a big picture.]
: (Composite picture) Isn’t this the original? (Original photo)
————————=
Attached to the post was a group photo of Sejin Sejin and other students whose faces were roughly blacked out.
It was a light article written with a common carrier IP, but comments from users in the early morning who checked the content quickly increased.
– Huh
– What is it?
– Where did you get it?
-Hey, I think this is steamed;;;
-Are you on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land?
-Did you cut out that picture
? -How did you
know
?
└Yeah, you said you would do it if you were there too
└ㅋㅋㅋ Hit me with a fact
└ Wow, this bastard’s face is covered. Is
accusation scary ? come.
-It’s been cropped, it’s the same (Photo)
└ Hee-ik
└ D-D
└ Crazy
– Hahahahahahahahahaha It’s really synthetic?
-Wow, I thought it was going to be delisted, but it was a
strategic
force
.
It wasn’t long before someone even found out that the original photo was taken when Sejin Keun was running for student council president.
-I searched the Cheongsol High School website and found a similar promotional photo. I guess it’s election time? (Link)
└ Wow, it was really hot
└ I fought since the election in Jujakgeul hahaha
└ The kid who was with Jujak
really gritted his teeth └ Now that I was caught, I had no choice but
to go . Captured copies of this article began to circulate.

– Keunsejin’s photo manipulation has surfaced.
-Who found the original photo that made a big splash
Just like when the first post was posted, the number of comments increased in an instant.
The nuances that seemed to have been found by chance added to the writing, which made the writing seem more sincere.
Public opinion soon leaned toward ridiculing the accusations of school violence.
Big Sejin’s fans, who had not been able to sleep, quickly joined in uploading the captured version.
They militantly posted comments and kicked them out, saying, ‘Don’t talk bullshit about things like ‘The picture is fake, but the content could be true’.
The information that the accusation was manipulated quickly occupied public opinion on the Internet.
This was done before the end of work hours that day.
* * *
“Deleted.”
Big Sejin muttered.
When it was revealed that the photo was fabricated and public opinion completely tilted, the person who wrote the accusation article deleted the article without a rumor and disappeared.
It would have been difficult if I had been biting more messy, but it seemed that public opinion had been overturned and gave up.
“…I’m really glad.”
Big Sejin let out a deep sigh of relief and banged his head on the table. When the tension was released, it seemed that he was weighed down by fatigue.
“thank you. i really… I have no face.”
I was just grateful. If I had posted the draft as is, it wouldn’t have happened like this.
‘Datapal wins 1… ….’
I never dreamed that I would use the time I spent snooping here and there to see the price flow again like this. This hardship… Let’s pretend to liquidate that karma.
“In the first place…If you hadn’t touched a cigarette, this fuss wouldn’t have happened.”
Big Sejin muttered in a voice full of shame. He seemed to know that he was stupid too.
“Why did you smoke?”
“…Oh then… . I was pushed out of the debut group. I even recorded a demo… …Except for me, I put in others to debut well and sell albums well.”
“…On ‘Happy Friend’?”
Haven’t they chosen male idols with decent grades in the past 5 years?
“No other place. …But for a while, I didn’t intend to make another team, so I connected with you here now.”
“okay.”
At this point, there were only one or two male idols who debuted three or four years ago and did well from their first album.
And both are big companies.
‘…Wouldn’t it be better to hold on even if it’s a bit late?’
Even after 5 years since I was 17, I am still 22 years old. It’s a good age to debut as an elder in a team. Rather than going to Happy Friend, it would have been more reasonable to stick to the formation.
“…At that time, I made a big promise that I would be a rookie by the end of this year, so I signed a contract… …. It’s already been 4 years since I didn’t give it up. haha.”
“….”
I see.
Originally, you shouldn’t believe in verbal contracts, but since the first year of high school was even mentally crushed, I guess I didn’t have the energy to take care of that.
“As you can see, none of the trainees from Happy Friend’s agency here are capable of debuting right away. That’s why I have to debut in this program… ….”
“….”
“That’s why I’m talking about it, but thank you again for stopping me from getting off. Moondae Park.”
This is the first time this guy has openly criticized someone and exposed his inner feelings.
‘Is it sincerity in its own way?’
“okay. Thank you very much.”
“…what? haha!”
Big Sejin laughed and hit his head on the table again. I want to laugh, but I think it’s hard because I’m tired.
I was tremblingly worried.
‘…Has it become too condescending?’
I tried to keep my distance because I was a drug addict and a dangerous group, but from a certain point on, it seemed that we became overly friendly.
‘Anyway, looking at what they’ve done so far, the odds seem low.’
There was a high probability that Keun Se-jin could not debut because he resigned when the school violence broke out. Even if I hadn’t resigned, it wouldn’t have been easy to overturn public opinion like it is now, so debuting would have been difficult.
‘Hmm, but child actor Lee Se-jin doesn’t seem to have a lot of expectations for his debut either.’
Still, Lee Se-jin’s broadcasting amount and image could have been influenced by the variable ‘Park Moon-dae’, so this was a possibility.
‘Anyway, this is not an important issue right now.’
Let’s just put Schrödinger’s drug addict in a box. What was urgent right now was the team match stage two days later.
Baba Bamba Bam Bam Bam Bam!
“Huhhh!!”
“Ugh….”
Just in time, with the morning weather alert, the team members wriggled out of bed.
‘Another day without rest has begun… ….’
As I stood there with wide eyes, the big Sejin spoke again. It seems to be a continuation of the previous conversation.
“No really…When I’m done with this, I’ll buy some food. What do you want to eat?”
“beef.”
“…It doesn’t have to be domestic, right?”
“If it tastes good.”
There were only 50 hours left until the rehearsal for the team match.
* * *
The 3rd team match stage was held on a large stage, one of the sets of ‘MusicBomb’, Tnet’s leading music pro.
Actually, it meant to stand on the stage where senior idols stand and show a cool stage, but in fact, it seemed like it was because they liked to draw reaction cuts.
“Just three days before this stage! VTIC pre-recorded it!”
“Wow!!!”
The MC’s words cheered the participants.
In fact, they had nothing in common except that they occupied the same space as the stage sets were completely different.
However, the participants seemed excited just by sharing the same space as top idols.
I didn’t feel bad either.
‘VTIC… They were nice guys.’
The unit price was expensive, so it was worth taking pictures.
“Please show off your skills to the fullest, just like the senior idols did!”
After the MC finished the script, preparations for rehearsals began in earnest.
“everyone! We will go in the same order as the original broadcast!”
“yes!”
In an instant, the stage scene became noisy with the sound of instructions and music.
In terms of order, the participants still had some leeway. So, the < Moon Rabbit > team gathered in a corner.
“Shall we have a fight or something? You’ve worked really hard, but let’s show you a great stage as much as you’ve worked hard.”
“Oh good.”
“That’s right.”
The team members nodded with nervous faces. However, it was clear that the tension was not caused by anxiety, but by anticipation.
“The < Moon Rabbit > team.”
Team members put their hands together.
“go for it!!”
The shouts were almost militant.
‘oh my god.’
It was strange that I willingly participated in this even though there were no cameras closely following me.
It wasn’t a bad feeling though.
“then Let’s go!”
The stage was right in front of me.
