As i began to sing, the silence in the room increasingly beca louder.
Akira pursed his lips as all his hopes and dreams ca crashing down.
anwhile, Ren tried his best to stay respectful, but since his ears were extra sensitive due to his music production skills, he had to cover them with his hands, even grimacing as i's voice cracked once more.
"Umm, am I the only one who thinks that this song is too high for her?" Casper suddenly asked.
They all shook their heads while June remained silent.
He didn't know what the production and editing team did, but i sounded even worse than she did during the live audition. Maybe because all of the noise and the other static elents were removed, her voice was now clearer—clear, not in a positive way, but in a way that showed all of the flaws in her voice.
Nonetheless, her emotion still shone through in the song that she was singing.
However, with the cold editing style that they employed, it was hard to feel the emotions that she was trying to portray.
"It's okay. It's okay," Akira chuckled to himself. "Not everyone is perfect! Maybe she's a great dancer."
Then, as the chorus arrived, i began dancing. She had similar dancing skills when June was also auditioning, so one could already imagine that her dancing couldn't save her singing at all.
"Maybe rapping?" Sehun asked, also trying to be optimistic.
Ren turned to Sehun with raised eyebrows. "Since when did this song have a rap?"
Sehun scratched the back of his head and inferred that staying silent was the best way to go.
Although the mbers of EVE were trying to be nice, the comnts from the public were already going haywire.
- I knew it. A face like that couldn't be talented, too.
- It's no excuse. Mina's very pretty, too, but she's not as useless as this trainee.
- Co on. You have to admit that i's on a different level when it cos to visuals.
- Still, it doesn't make sense why soone who can't sing or dance would even participate in the show.
- Don't be too harsh, guys. She's just a trainee. She even said that she's only been training for a few months.
- Talent is sothing you are born with, not sothing you can force. If you can't sing or dance when you are young, then it's most likely that you're also not going to be able to sing when you're older.
- Fucking ugly ass bitch. I can't believe soone like her even ca to the show.
June knew that he shouldn't have scrolled through the comnts on the livestream, but he just couldn't help himself.
So, he brought out his phone and started scrolling through the comnts to see the public's reaction.
Indeed, it was as worse as he expected—maybe even worse.
They weren't rely cooking her in the comnt section; they were already burning her!
- I swear, if soone like her debuts, I'll have to believe that this show is rigged.
- Agreed. Azure is a piece of snake, but I couldn't believe they'd stoop down this low.
- Kill yourself.
- Seriously, I hope she jumps from a tall building so we can stop hearing her goat-like voice.
- These comnts are not it. This girl appears very young, and she's doing her best to sing and dance despite her lack of ability.
- Well, she should work harder if she doesn't want to receive any death threats.
- The song is just too high for her. Her voice is actually not that bad. She just needs to sing sothing within her range. Moreover, I could see so potential in her dancing. If she had only trained for a month or so, then this is already a great foundation.
- Too high, my ass. June is singing the song in the sa key that she did, and he sounds like an angel!
June closed his eyes and leaned his head against the couch.
All right, maybe showing off after i Ling's audition was really a huge mistake.
The fans that he was grateful for were also the ones throwing hate at the innocent girl!
"Dang," Jaeyong said. "You definitely showed them how to sing. I nearly cried at your rendition."
"June is the best singer in the idol industry! It's unfair to compare the trainees to him," Casper remarked.
June nodded in agreent, still feeling awful about the hate comnts that were being thrown at his sister.
Finally, her audition ended, yet the hate comnts didn't stop.
June sighed in relief when he felt that the show was already coming to an end. However, he nearly forgot that Rising Stars always did a compilation at the end of the first episodes—ones that would elicit pity from the audience so they would continue watching the show.
The words—'Why did you beco an idol?' were shown on screen, accompanied by llow, lancholic music that made the audience pay greater attention.
"Because I'm not good at anything else."
"It's my passion!"
"I want to make my parents proud.
"I want to make other people happy!"
"I don't know."
With the sound of i's voice, June lifted his head, only to be t with i's bare face.
This was the sweet, innocent sister (not really) that June was aware of. However, it was evident that she had gotten prettier. Her bare face was sohow even more attractive than the one with make-up.
i sat in the white room with which the boys were all too familiar with. The music had now gotten softer, adding even more emotionality to the scene.
"I don't know," i repeated, her voice soft.
"For the longest ti, I felt like sothing was missing inside . Like there was a void in my heart that I couldn't fill."
"For a year, I woke up every day with this emptiness gnawing at . I tried to ignore it, but it was always there."
"Then one day," she continued, "I saw idols dancing on stage. Their movents were so full of life. And suddenly, I felt this urge, this... longing to be up there with them."
She looked up, her eyes eting the cara, making those watching feel her sincerity even more.
"It was like the missing piece of my heart was right there in front of ," i confessed. "But if you ask why... I don't know. Maybe it's because when you're on stage, you can give happiness to others just by being yourself. Maybe it's because of the love and adoration you receive from fans."
"Or maybe... maybe there is no reason. It just... is."
