t/n : (Hello everyone, I will change Big Sejin to Keun Sejin for the nickna since it sounds better for a nickna, but I will still use Big Sejin depending on the situation. Thank you!)
Of course, it would be an important talent to be noticed in the entertainnt industry because there were many cases where a brief mont on stage changed one’s career.
However, from the title to the content, I couldn’t get rid of the impression that this characteristic was only for the attention-seeker.
Even the exact growth rate is not ntioned; it just says ‘a little more.’
“Can they use this vague expression in the status window?”
Is that why it’s a D-class characteristic?
But there was no miracle such a status window responded to my complaints.
I finally accepted the reality.
Yeah. The characteristics that received attention—okay. If it helped get debuted, that would be great.
Drrrt!
As soon as I closed the status window, the smartphone vibrated. I checked right away to see if it was soone from the production team.
But it wasn’t.
“What the hell?”
It was ssenger Talk.
[Lee Sejin(Keun): Moondae Moondae, don’t you check the group chat? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Lee Sejin(Keun): You didn’t even read and ignore it, you’re so cold Moondae-ya.]
“….”
I should have also turned off my personal ssenger, but I didn’t think of it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t ignore the ssages I’d already read when we were still going to et in the future, so I had no choice but to send a reply.
[: I don’t usually look at my phone. Sorry]
[Lee Sejin(Keun): Ey, why are you apologizing for? It’s embarrassingㅎㅎ]
[Lee Sejin(Keun): Please check the group chat soon!]
Is there any special news?
I checked the group ssenger room. In the group chat with the teammates from the last team match, there were over 500 new ssages.
Of course, I had no intention of reading them all. So I scrolled down and checked only the last conversation.
The team mbers were captured and shared comnts from the last stage.
It seed like their social life was passing by since they were using the expression ‘They said everyone on this team is handso~’ and saying that Older and Younger Brother are handso.
[Lee Sejin(Keun): That’s right, now that I think about it, every ti I look at Moondae’s face on TV, his face gets more handso. ㅎ]
[Lee Sejin (Keun): For the sake of our friendship, please share the dermatologist with us.]
This is because of level up, you punk.
Of course, I couldn’t say that, so I just told him I didn’t go to any.
This guy who used a word like ‘confirmation demand’ just to ask about the dermatologist—.
Is it just my feeling? But I feel very tired.
At that mont, the vibration rang out again.
[Seon Ahyun: Moondae-ya, how are you? Thank you for always treating well even in the first team match. I will definitely repay you next ti— (See more)]
He posted a long ssage in the group chat.
Then at the sa ti, no one posts a ssage suddenly.
It was unbearably quiet.
“….”
After a short reply for human reasons, I put the data right away.
When we et at the next shoot— I have to say that I can’t see ssenger Talk because I don’t have wifi at ho.
There were still five days left until the next filming, the production presentation.
* * *
Production presentation. A promotional event was held before the first episode aired.
In fact, the 77 participants had little to do as individuals. All we have to do is sing 〈It’s 〉 and take a few pictures of ourselves.
Of course, it was important that ‘the photo gets taken’ here.
This is because it has already been proven photos taken at the production presentation may play a big role in predicting the early stage voter turnout.
‘Thanks to it, I got paid for taking so pictures.’
First of all, it’s not just taking a picture but also a request to edit it, so the pay is pretty good.
Anyway, if I had to express my feelings standing at such a production presentation—it was like that.
‘They’re all faces I’ve seen before.’
The faces holding out their caras from behind the reporters were familiar.
Let’s analyze it a bit— let’s see, first of all, I saw guys selling data one by one on the opposite side.
Except for that, most of them were fans of existing idols. Their purpose of searching for a new idol is half; half of it is just to have fun.
For that reason, it seed like there weren’t many people who took pictures with just one person in them.
After taking three or four participants in one shot, I saw that the lens was moving slightly, as if they were cropping each one of them.
Anyway, there were more people than I thought.
Slowly, it seems that the atmosphere that this program will succeed by making the controversy a hot topic is being created subtly.
‘Unfortunately, I can’t get out of B even if I spend my remaining points on Park Moondae’s appearance.’
Maybe the appearance stat will take the benefits of the production presentation, like an A- or higher, so I have to work hard for the 〈It’s 〉 performance.
‘As expected, is the face the trend—?’
Another brief regret that I should have tried to increase my appearance stats cos again.
“We’ll start after the reporters enter!”
The staff shouted for us to wait as we lined up on the outdoor lawn, just as we had rehearsed at dawn.
Soone spoke to as I was relaxing my feet between the interludes.
“I saw your performance.”
“What?”
It was Cha Eugene who was standing in front of the diagonal line. If I rember it correctly, he is the participant who will take first place this season.
‘But why are you talking out of context?’
I rembered that mont. It was like this last ti.
Perhaps it was during the filming of the 〈It’s 〉 broadcast stage, Cha Eugene asked whether I couldn’t dance, and I replied that he should judge by looking at my performance.
Don’t tell , is this staged story an extension of that conversation?
Due to the timing, it’s likely to be the first team match if we talk about the stage between the participants now.
If that’s the case, I’ll just have to admit it. I did a good job thinking about it. But it was still out of the blue.
It’s not even a boy’s manhwa—. Did he feel a sense of rivalry?
And even more unexpectedly, Cha Eugene raised his thumb.
“You did a great job!”
“Ah, thank you.”
“Let’s team up next ti.”
“It would be nice if possible.”
No matter what this guy thinks, it’s really good to be together.
I said okay without asking or arguing because I don’t have to worry about it even if it’s only an empty word.
The conversation with Cha Eugene ended there.
“D, do you—want to eat this?”
“Yeah, thank you.”
“Huh! Ahyun-nim, don’t you have anything for ?”
“Wow, it seems that Keun Sejin can’t even feed himself now that he’s no longer the leader.”
“H, here.”
I took jelly from Seon Ahyun, who was close to , chewed it, and then finished warming up my feet.
The staff gave a signal when I was listening to the forr Gold team mbers chatting.
“Get ready~~”
The tiring prelude ca out just like it did during the first week of filming.
Anyway, this stage will be uploaded on WeTube, so let’s not make any mistakes with the choreography.
* * *
I heard soone shouting at as soon as I finished the stage of 〈It’s 〉 and left.
“Moondae-ya!”
Were they calling Park Moondae?
I turned around to see who it was, and it was one of the people with caras.
When I turned around, the woman in the hoodie constantly pressed the cara’s shutter button.
—Is she only taking a picture of ? The woman shouted again as I unconsciously pointed my hand to my face.
“Moondae-ya! Heart please!”
“….”
I never thought the day would co when I heard those words.
But the opportunity was an opportunity, so I made a heart with my fingers and lifted it.
It’s a little…embarrassing.
“Poke your cheek! Poke your cheek too!”
From the side, Seon Ahyun is trying to sneak out to the other side.
He seems to have already been bothered by a cara calling him before the stage.
I glanced at him.
‘You do it too.’
Even if just one person joined , it would be less embarrassing.
Whether he got the signal properly or not, Seon Ahyun creaked and ca back. Then Keun Sejin ca between them.
“What are you two doing? Ah, a picture~”
He put up his spoon really well.
I don’t like it when people put their arms on other people’s shoulders, but since there was a cara, I decided to let it go.
And then, all of a sudden, the three of us put our arms around each other’s shoulders and took a picture.
‘In the end, the three of us are taking pictures even before the first episode.’
It’s been a while since we opened up the group ssenger room.
It was a bit uncomfortable, but the water had already spilled from the first team match, so I decided not to avoid it.
Anyway, I could see the face of a woman who hardly took her eyes off the cara, as if she had gotten a good shot.
Oh—.
She was the one that bought so data from .
When the schedule made it hard to shoot an event directly, many hopage masters bought it, edited it, and uploaded it as if it was taken by themselves.
Yeah, that person was also in demand.
Let’s see, I rember that she was being sarcastic when she said that as a data seller, I have no conscience when I raise the price.
…Still, I’ve never taken a picture of them in their private life, like when they’re leaving an airport.
And if the data didn’t sell, it was shared for free on the fan community or on WeTube.
‘Well…Anyway I have nothing to say even if I get cursed at.’
Even if the company is leaving it alone for business reasons, they are indeed ignoring other people’s right to do business there.
Anyway, I don’t know if that cri is why I didn’t make my debut and will be killed suddenly.
Maybe to understand how an idol feels when they are being photographed.
“Park Moondae is really cute!!”
“….”
Wow… I really can’t get used to it.
Co to think of it, the male idol I was filming was involved in a drunk driving accident at the end of last year.
‘That guy, his position is the main vocalist—’
Maybe because of Park Moondae…I guess that will change.
I felt a strange feeling and waved my hand.
Anyway, the data for the production presentation is precious, so I hope they take it well.
‘It would be better if they upload the photos before Friday.’
Just this Friday, ‘Relisting! Idol Inc.’ started airing for the first broadcast.
* * *
Tnet Headquarters. The editing room located in the corner of the 9th floor was full of office workers who stayed up all night.
Ryu Seorin, who cast Park Moondae, was one of them.
“Seorin-ah, your eyes are red. Have so coffee.”
“I don’t have ti. Just give coffee, please.”
It was her 7th cup today.
All of the faces that were looking at the video data and drinking coffee like it was water were tired.
Ryu Seorin’s forr senior sighed.
“Editing the first episode is important.”
“…Yes. You can see the direction of the program.”
What to show and what to cut.
“Yeah, everything needs a story to be fun.”
“It’s fun when people can imrse themselves in it even if they don’t think about it.”
It’s fun to have a narrative in an audition program. And the viewer is interested only when the narrative is easy to see.
This was almost considered a widely-accepted theory.
“Right, so—I’ll think up to the 4th episode and build up to it from the 1st episode.”
“That’s right. The result of the first team match is the end of the episode—we have to catch the flow of the story and capture the characters of the kids.”
Of course. Neither Writer Ryu Seorin nor her forr senior had a strong authority to decide that.
‘In the end, it’s important what the main PD thinks.’
She took her hand off the video for a mont.
“Are you going to rest?”
“…I’d like to make a suggestion.”
“Oh, editing?”
“Yes.”
“Well~ That’s fine. Even in season 1… Was it Lee Goyoon? PD Jung accepted what you said about editing the story of that ordinary participant.”
Should I try? Ryu Seorin snorted inwardly at her forr senior’ words.
‘I did it because I was aiming for good timing.’
This was just the ti.
Because of their comradeship, people who were exhausted sotis forgot their sense of authority.
“This ti it’s… well, there’s no one to push for, and it’s a good suggestion.”
“Yes, we just need to think about the ratings.”
Since the last season ended early because of a scandal, there were not many requests from big agencies.
If so, what kind of participants should be shown so that viewers will feel catharsis when the team match is aired?
There were hidden anings in the playful words. Ryu Seorin shrugged.
“Ey, where do the production crew make all those things? Originally people will be like that. They want to keep liking the kids they like, and they want to keep hating the kids they hate.”
“Hmm.”
Her forr senior kept silent when she tied it up with the production crew.
“We’re just making it easier for viewers to imrse themselves in it, well.”
“That’s true.”
Her forr senior gently lowered the words. This is because Ryu Seorin definitely had a sense.
So, she changed the subject and did it again as if she knew everything.
“So this ti you chose the underdog? That’s because the editor has a lot to touch on.”
“….”
Underdog effect.
Just like David beat Goliath, when the weak beat the strong, it was a thrilling turn of events that made the weak go crazy.
And it was one of the most fun narratives an audition program could show.
Of course, the editor had to do a lot of work to make the right effect happen. Because it has to be well put together.
“Are you going to suggest that kid? You kept looking back.”
“Well…I see it.”
Ryu Seorin split roughly, but in reality, she was positive.
‘No matter what I think…I have to give it to that kid.’
Recalling from the video that she was turning around Ryu Seorin, she has already decided.
“Fighting~”
She responded appropriately to her forr senior’ unintentional words and visited the main PD to talk to him.
“Excuse , PD.”
And she was half sure that the main PD was thinking the sa thing as her
