. On the stage of the theme song for episode 009, the participants were arranged in a fan shape centering on the platinum grade group.
Of course, the higher the grade, the more they come to the center.
Other than that, the fact that there were parts that only Platinum groups could perform was all of the grade preference.
However, everyone seems to be paying attention to the grade because a single shot caught on camera can change the rank in the early stages.
In addition, the production crew and trainers spoke and moved as if ratings meant a lot, so it was perfect for young contestants to be swept away.
In other words, as soon as you wear the platinum badge, the number of participants you talk to has increased fivefold.
I felt a bit skeptical about the blatant social hierarchy that I hadn’t experienced even in high school.
What will the production crew with such great personalities do in the future to create an atmosphere like this… ….
Fortunately, even the vicious producers had directing thoughts. Among the Platinum ranks, participants with an A or higher dance were placed earlier in the movement at the start timing and dance break.
And the contestant with relatively weak dancing skillfully moved back. Well, of course, this was the case for me too.
The line of movement in my dance break was slightly behind Gold. Because I saw Sun Ah-hyun and Lee Se-jin (Gold) right next to me.
Come to think of it, child actor Lee Se-jin received a silver medal. Just looking at the public flow, I doubt that the other side is really debuting.
“Isn’t it a bit sad?”
So, Lee Se-jin (Gold)’s pretending to be friendly was roughly overlooked. The hurdles went down inadvertently, saying that I was slightly off the point of suspicion.
“not really.”
I answered calmly. You’re probably referring to the fact that the stage position isn’t that great for a platinum level.
“Wow, I must have been very sorry.”
“You deserve it.”
“huh? Why do you think so?”
“Because you dance well.”
Lee Se-jin’s dance was A-. The vocals were C+, but even if it didn’t go off the high notes, that one might have gone platinum instead of me.
“Mmm thanks!”
Anyway, Sejin Lee smiled broadly as if he felt better. Then, out of nowhere, another voice came in.
“Can’t you dance?”
It was a platinum level participant standing in the front and center. There seemed to be no malice in his blank expression.
The problem is that he was the one who took first place in the ranking evaluation for the first time. And as far as I know, it was also the final 1st place.
My name is Yujin Cha. He was so famous that I saw his face a few times on TV at the gosichon baekban house I used to go to.
However, he was a rarer person than expected. The microphone is on and the camera is running, so you ask me like this?
With such a throwing personality, you managed to win first place.
Of course, the status window details were also remarkably good in each evaluation.
Still, there was a high probability that the editing of the broadcast was also friendly. Let’s not get involved with stuff like this.
So I deliberately laughed.
“Didn’t you see my evaluation?”
Then, it became a cold expression. Unexpectedly, he seems to be the type to be stabbed by his conscience in a place like this.
“We have to prepare our stage. So I didn’t see it.”
“Then look at it next time and judge.”
“All right.”
Cha Yu-jin nodded and looked forward. Lee Se-jin laughed with a look of absurdity.
“Is it because you’re from a foreign country, so your way of speaking is unique?”
“I know.”
Lee Se-jin was also conscious of the camera, so the conversation did not go further.
Instead, I looked at the offstage staff. Gradually, it seemed to be sorted out.
“Rehearsal going!”
the staff screamed. It seems that the setting was correct.
I held back a sigh.
It was hard to wait while packing equipment on the street, but I never thought I would do it myself.
The time now is 6 am.
And the main stage recording is at 4pm.
It seemed like it would be an ordeal.
* * *
And now at 8pm.
This filming has been completed.
“Thank you for your hard work~!”
As initially expected… There was no hardship.
“Huh….”
“ah…I will die.”
Participants groaned and fell to the floor. Everyone was drenched in sweat.
I was in no different condition, but there was no space to sit down because the participants who fell first were filling the floor.
It was funny.
‘He ran out of stamina.’
First of all, we rehearsed so that we were exhausted throughout the morning. After that, we had a short break and lunch break.
The meal was just gimbap wrapped in tinfoil, as if the PPL hadn’t been obtained yet.
After a rough meal, stylist-related occupations rushed into the filming set.
-Oh, I really don’t have anywhere to put anything~
-Keep your head this way!
– I’ll do it quickly.
In an empty lot used as a waiting room, they mechanically put on makeup and styled their hair, even though they were annoyed by the poor environment.
To be honest, there was no dramatic change for anyone, but it was enough to watch it for broadcast.
After that, he changed into a broadcast uniform.
Around this time, the camera came towards me.
-Do you like the clothes?
-…yes.
Is there anyone here who would say no?
-What do you like?
-Hmm, since it is a design that encompasses uniforms and school uniforms, I think I can create a variety of concepts.
It’s a pity that I can’t express my feeling that it’s a bit disgusting to see 77 people wearing the same clothes.
As soon as the words were finished, other participants around them intervened.
-I like being able to match various accessories~
-Ah! It’s good that it goes well with the badge.
If I came out here, it would only be one or two cuts, but everyone was really passionate.
and this shoot.
Honestly here… I don’t know how the edits will go.
-I’m going again~
-Ok… ….
We were dancing in groups in a hot place like we were going to get heat stroke about 30 times, so we didn’t care about that.
I think I heard compliments, criticisms, and motivational comments aiming to impress, but it’s not clear in my head.
To be honest, my memory was hazy. I don’t know what kind of cuts the production crew will use during the 30th.
I listened to the PD trying to come to my senses.
“Everyone, you have worked really hard….”
The main PD, who appeared stealthily at the end of the main stage, seemed to be doing a trivial affair, but fortunately, after a few words, he came up with useful information.
“…And this stage will be performed at the music night next Friday. You will start filming again the next day. Rest well until then. Never forget that this is a great opportunity for you guys. You have to seize this opportunity.”
Anyone who sees it will know that if the contestants work hard, they will be able to seize the opportunity.
The participants enthusiastically responded to PD’s words that they could tailor the opportunity as they wanted.
“Let’s try to die hard.”
“yes!!”
“Then see you next week. Good job~”
“You worked hard!”
Everyone squeezes their remaining energy and cheers and claps. I also applauded once. My hands were shaking.
“….”
Until next week’s music night monitoring, I need to start building up my stamina.
* * *
The week went by in an instant.
My plan to increase stamina was only half successful. It was because after the first filming was over, the fever suddenly rose, so I took medicine for three days and had to sleep in bed.
It seemed that Park Mun-dae’s body could not stand the intense labor for several weeks.
Anyway, after waking up after 3 days, I increased the amount of food militarily. And I am doing dance practice and strength training at the same time.
I’m holding dumbbells while watching music night right now, so you can see that I’m quite enthusiastic.
So let’s call it half success.
[Siwon-ssi, did you enjoy SoulWe’s stage that returned with exciting EDM?]
[Sure, Siwon’s heart is full of excitement because he’s excited?]
[Are you kidding me? Uh woo~]
[Uh woo~]
On the screen, a pair of idols cheerfully host.
He seems to be reading the prompter intently, but he still ably recited the script that made his hands and feet shriveled.
It seems that he is trying to split the time even in his busy schedule.
[Siwon! Shall we introduce the next stage right now?]
[Yes. Did you hear the news, Mr. Yunji?]
[What news?]
[The news the shareholders have been waiting for! Exactly~ < Idol Co., Ltd. > has been re-listed!]
[Wow!]
It will start soon. I put the dumbbell down, lifted my smartphone, and turned on the page I had accessed in advance.
It was the best page to take a look at the general internet reaction as it was created by a huge portal site.
Since it wasn’t even the comeback of a major singer, the page was filled with Idol Inc. stories.
[‘MusicBOMB’ talk talk!]
-They said it was re-listed hahaha Is this a true story?
-brain stealing variety
– and go gubchuk season 3!
– Ha ha ha ha ha It’s not a re-listing, it’s de-listing
– What is it? Why are you here all of a sudden?
└Azusa made a new season haha
└Ah….
– Heh Am I the only one who came to see the comments instead of the no-jam stage?
hmm. Expected reactions are rampant.
Every time I hit refresh, a different kind of ridicule rained down. There seemed to be more people flocking to it than the previous music night viewers.
And to sum up those reactions, it was said that season 3 was going to fail without much effort. Because Season 2 self-destructed so grandiosely and spectacularly, it seemed that the series itself was firmly rooted in the perception that it was a ruined professional.
Sure enough, the mockery quoting season 2 is also noticeable.
-Are the men going to explode this time? Are you going to a bigger Korea? ㅋ
└Same-sex marriage isn’t allowed in Korea, but you can’t beat the stronghold of season 2^^ Hahahaha
└X-bal hahahahaha
Here are the main reasons why season 2 self-destructed. It was a mixed-gender idol audition that received participants from a mix of men and women.
Thinking back on it, it was a bizarre idea.
I wonder what the production team had in mind.
As per the standard, if Season 2 had been made into a male version, it wouldn’t have happened even if the female version was done one more time.
If you do something like that…
-I don’t know~ Who else might get premarital pregnancy and become a legend in the idol audition world
?
└ I’m laughing now, damn it. At that time, I almost got really traumatized. Crazy bastards, why are you crawling out on the audition show and pissing the viewers off
?
└I got overly immersed in entertainment~
└Yeah, it’s not just
entertainment
. Premarital pregnancy broke out… ….
Premarital pregnancy in this fatal situation, even if it is love.
It also broke out among the participants.
A bigger problem is that the two contestants who had a premarital pregnancy were the popular contestants who led season 2.
Since the production team is a mixed group anyway, they seem to have thought that it would be better to use it for buzz and then sneak out rather than leave immediately.
That’s why they worked hard and edited the remaining broadcast of the two in a romance reality.
But it didn’t end there.
-A two-legged premarital pregnancy, you must have been a crazy person who won’t be on the stone board again.
-The real Azusa is a legend… …No, it’s not Azusa, it’s Mangjusa.
Among the participants whose premarital pregnancy scandal broke out, the male side was actually in a relationship with another female participant.
The female participant said she intended to pass it on for the sake of her career, but when she saw the pink broadcast, she rolled her eyes and reported the messenger details to the media.
what after that… It was miserable.
Portal real-time search terms, entertainment news pages, and even SNS were all destroyed.
just…It is only necessary to remember that Azusa season 2 did not make it to the finals and ended early.
And as long as this super-large scandal is still embedded in the viewers’ heads, no matter what they do in the early days of airing, they will not be able to avoid ridicule.
I closed my flashback and focused on the screen again.
In contrast to the chaotic comment window, the music night MCs were still smiling brightly.
[Idol stocks waiting for shareholders’ investment!]
[Shine your star!]
And here comes the famous catchphrase.
[Invest in an idol who wants to fly right now!]
At that moment, the number of comments suddenly tripled.
-Fly up, stocks… …Fantastic cake… …↖Fly… …Orra↗
This is also an Internet meme that was popular at one time. I think it was often used when a contestant who was expected to do well was ruined by a bad side.
A few lamentations passed between these comments, which almost reached the level of plastering.
-Wow, write this again.
-Who decided the phrase?
– ㄹㅇ It seems that the old man was ruined for trying to pretend to be hip.
– Don’t make Siwoni do that kind of line, you crazy TV stations ㅠㅠ
I just laughed.
“I still see it.”
I mean, I meant to insult you.
It was hundreds of times better than indifference. This early audience will definitely contribute to word of mouth in the early days. Season 3 is a huge success because I’ve already experienced it.
It means that most of them will hold onto anyone’s stock and cry while watching (to put it in an Azusa way) when they get to the finals anyway.
But it won’t be like that from the first stage.
I was very much looking forward to what kind of reaction there would be.
After the MC finished speaking, a few seconds later the TV screen lit up the stage.
Youngrin stood on the stage. The pinpointed lighting engraved a dramatic shadow on the clear face.
Well, originally, 〈Idol Inc.〉 was a B-level style full of black comedy and memes, and it was a humorous position.
be covered solemnly
[Stakeholders! Do you remember the last delisting?]
“…?”
My predictions were shattered as soon as Youngrin opened her mouth.
[Make your stock into scraps of paper…I’m really sorry!!]
Large subtitles come to mind in front of Youngrin, who boasts a great vocalization.
[※This is an apology from the production team. Youngrin is innocent.※]
[※We are still receiving claims for damages on our website.※]
“….”
Are you insane
