Chapter 373
Debut or Die
Episode 373
A short-term project group aiming for maximum efficiency in a short period of time to escape from this place.
In order for this to be accepted, it must be acknowledged that reality exists separately and can return.
âThe question is whether this bastard can go there.â
I closed my mouth. And then, she slowly opened her mouth.
âis it so.â
it is eaten
âdone.â
I clenched my fists and held back a sigh. There is no need to show signs of relief.
âThen now, survival⦠.â
I was about to tell them to cancel. If it wasnât for the next words.
âhmm? Thatâs already going on.â
â⦠!!â
This bastard has been talking so farâ¦
âCancel.â
âhmm? Iâm not the president of a broadcasting station⦠Itâs hard now. haha.â
I want to grind one piece.
As if he had noticed that, he finally came up with a useful reason.
âIsnât there nothing like survival because of the buzz in the beginning?â
â⦠⦠⦠â
I touched my chin.
âIt doesnât.â
Isnât there a living witness here?
There is no better way to gather firepower in a short period of time than survival if you can properly appeal to the consumer.
The problem is that he is the one holding the hilt.
âAs long as you donât do anything stupid.â
âWhat nonsense?â
As long as they donât smash Cha Yoo-jin on the air just because heâs being bullied. Itâs a baby.
She didnât say it, but she probably guessed it from the nuance, and Cheong-ryeo shrugged her shoulders.
âHmm, I think thereâs a misunderstanding here.â
and split again
It makes me feel dirty in that it looks like a child looking at a child with pity.
âDo you really think that as long as there is no dishonest intervention, the members of your junior group will be able to debut?â
âuh.â
This bastard must have seen that crazy version of , but heâs saying obvious things.
Is there any way that a guy who made his debut after breaking through that crazy game couldnât do the agency survival in the 2010s?
âAs long as the coaching is done properly, it is not a job to push the chaff.â
âhmm⦠⦠.â
Cheongryeo stroked her chin.
âThen shall we betâ¦
âWhat?â
âWho debuts here more, VTIC or Testa?â
sounds like a dog
âIs this a bet? And I only have two of them yet.â
âI also have two right now.â
â⦠⦠.â
In the first place, isnât the VTIC garden half of Testa?
âHmm, have you lost your confidence?â
this kid is real
I chinned.
âIâd rather do it in proportion. fair.â
âis it so. I am full of confidence.â
he laughs haha
âis it so. Junior. then⦠Letâs make a plan.â
and put your hand out
â⦠⦠.â
I shook his hand with his outstretched hand.
It was a temporary alliance.
But then the power comes into your hands.
âHowever, if you go all the way to the end and there is nothing.â
The guyâs expression disappeared.
âIf your reasoning is wrong, junior.â
â⦠!â
Cheongryeo narrows her eyes and splits them apart.
âFrom then on, I will always do as I planned.â
â⦠⦠â
Anyway, what are you digging?
âThat wouldnât happen.â
I nodded without speaking. And I also gave strength to the grip.
âHaha, if this were real, it would have been a real mess.â
âItâs a nightmare.â
In reality, a mix-and-match survival that anyone in the fandom would be proud of was established.
And after several days of preliminary work.
The article was reported from the end of February, and a preview teaser started to upload on WeTube.
* * *
Notice Teaser is a typical large entertainment company survival style.
First of all, LeTiâs new building is illuminated like a palace with great camera work.
[LeTil, the cradle of global idols representing Korea
[Producer: Never before.]
[Artist Team Leader: Itâs the best ever. Itâs amazing how we gathered like this.]
[Sweet and sweet Sohyeon: But in the end, can you win the publicâs heart?]
[Soft and sweet Sohyeon: I think thatâs a different problem.]
The people involved throw out meaningful words.
And a huge title will come out. The initials
of [Who is Superior?]
are nicely wrapped in 3D graphics.
[WiS]
[Survival show to select LeTiâs next generation]
[ãWiseã]
Wise.
The meaning of âwiseâ was mixed with the pronunciation of âWho isâ and âWhyâ, and it captured both meanings of âwhy should I debutâ and âwho is that memberâ.
-After all, itâs called Letty Survival.
I thought so. I warmed up while recalling Cheongryeoâs words.
There are already cameras in the waiting room under the stage.
âface!â
âyes.â
Maybe itâs because theyâre all guys who havenât debuted yet, so the makeup staffâs tone doesnât feel like a service job. However, it is less mechanical than Azusa.
âIs it because there are few people?â
I looked all over the rest of the page.
A total of 14 people are sitting on the floor of this building right now.
The number is 7 members of the debut group plus 7 other trainees.
âThere are many faces I saw then.â
I realized that many of the people the director had called on the first day I came here were included.
Were you instructed to float this?
âI can also see the Shinno silk fabric.â
I donât know if the existing VTIC members were originally like that or if Cheong-ryeo stabbed them, but they are in here anyway.
I crossed my arms.
âCha Yoo-jin and Kim Rae-bin are also scheduled to appear on time.â
The problem is the other guys.
The remaining testa members⦠I mean.
Of course, I saw all the guys I could find on the internet to see where they were scattered before the start of the survival, but⦠.
â⦠⦠.â
In many ways, the two youngest are the ones that are in the right condition. Letâs start off like this
âBecause there is another chance.â
I briefed Cheongryeo on the structure of this survival once more in my brain.
-When viewed from the outside⦠It will seem like everything revolves around the presidentâs eyes.
Soon the main camera will turn and lights and people will appear on the stage.
14 people enter side by side.
The president with a thin face sitting in the judgesâ seat right in front of the stage started the briefing.
He was the face of a popular singer-songwriter group in the 90s.
âEveryone will now listen to me with respect as a fellow singer, not as a trainee. Did you know?â
âyes.â
âgreat. Then, I will explain the rules of this program to you who will be the gods of LeTi.â
After intentionally cutting off a beat, the explanation continues.
âThis is survival.â
â⦠⦠!â
âyes?â
Everyone heard that it was money in the company, but he does a lot of acting. There were 14 of them in the first place, but it was natural to expect that there would be dropouts.
I just stood there with a hard expression on my face.
âWho will be eliminated and how many will be eliminated, who will debut and how long⦠All unknowns.â
Donât the words before and after mean the same thing?
Anyway, everyone swallows saliva with a disciplined face.
âYou run towards your dream, but you have to overcome countless competitions for that dream.â
â⦠⦠.â
âSo from now on, whoever wins the competition survives.â
â Honor class inferior class. At first, we start by dividing like that.
It was literally.
Task No. 1, which everyone was notified of in advance.
[Show a solo performance.]
It was the main content of the first episode.
âYou have to do well, but being a star is just as important as doing well. I will use that as a criterion for evaluating attractiveness, which cannot be converted into numbers.â
Even if the judgment is X, it means that it is because you are not attractive.
âyes!â
The guys who answered vigorously come out one by one and show off their dancing or singing skills before entering.
âThe meaning of performance was broadly interpreted.â
Itâs not going to happen, but I watch the stage while managing my expression so that I donât get caught.
Quality is⦠Itâs pretty good for a trainee. but.
âThereâs a bit of a difference from the debut group.â
I laughed heartily.
âI informed you late on purpose.â
In episode 1, the other 7 were added as food to get the 7 debutants up and running.
In those early days, there is a huge gap between practicing for a week and practicing for a month.
I probably wouldnât have said it openly. It must have encouraged a difference to the extent of secretly spilling words like rumors to the debut team.
Like this
â have you heard about the solo performance? Oh not yet? No, guys, practice
!
Anyway, thatâs why the superior and inferior classes are divided almost the same.
The debut group is in the honor class. The rest are inferior. I watched as Shinoh and Judan went to the inferior class. Chung-Ryeo doesnât even change her expression.
âhmm.â
Are you trying to create a hit-and-run image?
It was then.
âNext performance⦠. Ryu Gun-woo.â
âyes.â
It was my turn. I got up and moved.
9th. ambiguous location.
first stage.
âactually⦠Itâs not that important.â
In a survival game where a large number of people fall in half in an instant like , one stroke is important, but this should be looked at longer than that.
First of all, all stages will be broadcasted.
âHere, only images are stably taken.â
I grabbed the head mic and waited quietly.
A song came out.
* * *
The president of LeTi, who was sitting in front of the stage for the survival show, was actually not very interested in the individual trainees.
I am interested in the companyâs growth and greater success.
Fame and wealth from there!
âThatâs business.â
The former singer and current entrepreneur, who has already gone more than 10 years without releasing an album, has his fingers crossed.
Still, he had his own eyes. Because these good seeds were well picked and selected.
The boss quickly skipped through the rehearsal and practice videos, and glanced at the guys he identified mainly through the reports he received.
[Organization of the candidate list]
The types refined through various experts do not misalign. And he had no time to waste on each one.
Besides, this guy in particular was just as described. The guy in front now.
-21-year-old Ryu Kun-woo.
After passing the personal details, this is the description written in the first line of the feature.
-The visual award that the project pursues
âHeâs handsome with a very atmosphere.â
Even among the good guys, he was a strikingly handsome guy.
I would say that the lines are straight and the atmosphere is intelligent.
It seemed that if he showed a slight disapproval of himself, the public would bite into crab foam and pull it out.
âokay.â
set a stance It would be fun to be a bit harsh first.
The boss crossed his arms.
âGet started.â
The lighting for filming outside the stage disappears and a spotlight falls like light on Ryu Gun-woo.
And the elegant, heavy music you hear.
âhmm.â
Itâs jazz pop.
Under slightly dim lighting, the white face puts its mouth to the standing microphone.
[
There are things necessary for a sweet life.
Music, Dance, Wine, Maybe Roses]
Recently, pop songs have been the type of performance that aspiring idols often choose.
Tone rather than treble. Because there are many songs with a structure that is good for a suitable lead vocalist to show.
And it would have been the best if it was a selection to show the maximum according to the level of skill, but this time was an exception.
[Life in the clouds,
twinkling stars]
There is no nervousness, awkward tone, or clumsy vocalization.
What makes the microphone ring is a sound that is as perfect as the original song and without regret.
â⦠!â
Not a single word of amateurishness. The tone flows like deep wine. [Jazz
that blooms in the white smoke
when the piano sounds
⦠.]
The president reflexively went through the evaluation of Ryu Gun-wooâs next paper.
-High quality vocal skills
⦠Isnât it rather underestimating to evaluate this simply as high quality?
â Ranked 3rd overall at the end of this month
, but is it okay to dance here?
and⦠.
â Disadvantages: /
blank. A shudder passed.
[Hmm umumm Lalala-la⦠.]
So far, a flawless image of a perfect gemstone, a good product that has not been consumed shines on stage.
And the stage was still full of voices. Until the end of the first verse with a soft and weighty technique.
[Shining Stars]
After that high-pitched unaccompanied voice, the sound that filled my ears in an instant disappeared.
All that is left is a handsome face talking on a standing mic.
â⦠⦠.â
For a moment, the silence felt terribly empty⦠⦠.
The boss was really speechless, not intentionally.
âhow⦠⦠.â
Where did this guy come out at the age of 20?
It was then.
A low voice rings out.
âthank you.â
â⦠!â
âah.â
clap clap⦠!!
A little later, applause bursts out here and there at Ryu Gun-wooâs thanks.
This atmosphere of being overwhelmed.
â⦠just now!â
And the president took the microphone.
Detailed comments can be edited later and included in the interview. I had to say this now.
That feeling came. The sense of broadcasters and entrepreneurs!
âOur Mr. Geon-woo⦠Your trainee life has only been completed for 3 months, right? Originally, I was a college student.â
âyes.â
âWhich university are you a student at?â
The young man in front of me answered calmly without changing his expression.
âI go to Yonhee University.â
This is where the cutscenes go. And the boss laughed inwardly.
âThank you.â
for giving this amount.
âThen why do you want to be a singer?â
I didnât deliberately attach an idol. It was to prevent dance from interfering with thoughts.
âIf I sing well like this and go through the corrections, Iâm sure there will be a great picture.â
Then everyone would want this guy to become a singer⦠.
âEven if I graduate from college, I think I will be able to take on other good jobs.â
Itâs exploding here.
âCome to bed!â
Ryu Gun-woo looked at himself without a big change in expression.
He seemed oblivious to the camera. Words come out naturally.
âLiving⦠Iâve never been this happy before.â
And a faint smile spreads.
âSo I think this is the correct answer. And you canât just leave the right answer and choose something else. This is all.â
â⦠⦠.â
Simple taste without decorations like a student without any sense of entertainment.
A valuable item for trainee survival.
This⦠done!
The president lifted the microphone with a thrill.
âHave you seen it, everyone? The period isnât important. What matters is that mindset.â
Raise your hand and point to the trainee on stage.
âThat clear sign that I will debut! Thatâs number one.â
And itâs nice to say.
âcongratulations. Mr. Ryu Gun-woo Thereâs nothing more to talk about. Itâs an honors class.â
This was the highlight.
â⦠thank you.â
Ryu Gun-wu replied a little late, probably feeling choked up, and bowed his head.
âHeâs a good guy to use.â
He smiled inwardly.
But it was the same for opponents.
âHow come the superiors, big or small, all have the same idea?â
Itâs the effort and mindset.
Ryu Gun-woo, who had adjusted his answer so that the president could freely say the words, was nodding his head inwardly.
* * *
[Hyung, really congratulations! The first shoot was the best!]
âYes.â
After the filming was over, the agency sent it back to the house, not the survival dorm, saying that the amount had not come out until that point.
âThanks to that, I now have time to think.â
Coincidentally, Ryu Chung-woo went to MT. Seeing that he took pictures of the mountains and sent them, it seems that his hobby is still the same here.
And I sat in my room and thought.
⦠However, I never thought that the big moon would say âthat remarkâ.
[Do you think the debut will go smoothly at this rate? Brother!]
I held back my sleep. And chin chin.
âIt should be.â
[yes⦠?]
You should do well.
Otherwise, itâs because youâre going to be fucking embarrassed.
I recalled my previous conversation with Cheongryeo.
â But in the end, whoever debuts with is the junior who has to debut.
-Thatâs right.
After all, itâs me who has to gather experience points because the system specter is attached again.
Then he rested his chin and pretended to be serious.
â Shall I let you debut unconditionally?
-what?
â Well no. You said it wrong. This isnât a recommendation. Of course it should.
-⦠⦠.
-Haha, can you take care of your pride here?
And Iâm fucking I realized that if I stopped this bastard because I was offended here, I would be an idiot who couldnât stand it.
-Can it be?
So it happened.
[Are you manipulating Joe?]
â⦠In the worst case, yes.â
If I think Iâm going to be eliminated, that bastard will eventually use his hand and enter the group through the back door.
I resisted the impression of being crushed.
âThat doesnât work.â
People have face, so should we see them embarrassed that they canât even debut after receiving the grand prize?
âI will never go like that, and I will plan well and attack, so donât worry.â
[Sure! I believe in you too!]
Come on.
Just like in , I had to properly plan every moment. I slowly predicted my image and drew a future composition.
âIâm probably going to focus my image on a prestigious university student and go to a special position. Thatâs what the question was like.â
Then some⦠I should mainly show my mature side. And it would be better to quietly cooperate with group assignments.
A little naive look would be fine. The president has a strong right to speak, so I have to appeal to that side.
âhmm.â
[I think it will work out!]
âYes.â
I even made some alternative plans and went to sleep that day.
And that very week.
In , unlike , the agency that already knew all of the participantsâ tendencies, attitudes and characters handed over the participantsâ data to the broadcast production team.
So, without sufficient observation time and no storyline, the footage filmed that day was quickly edited and the second trailer was released right away.
And the moment the profiles of 14 people were released⦠.
-Mimi ã £ A boyfriend with glasses has
appeared
â⦠??â
I am⦠I realized the reality. Didnât I experience it through Data Palyi and ?
An idolâs first eye stamp was unconditionally his appearance.
