Chapter 376

Episode 376:

Two people on stage.

To be precise, three people, but one trainee was almost invisible due to the momentum.

Actually, it wasn’t the trainee’s problem. It was a problem because the other two had already tasted the essence of all the professions that had reached the target.

Cha Yoo-jin and Shin Jae-hyeon.

‘Hehe.’

Even the president, who did not know the fact, could see the intense contrast in his eyes.

The difference between the two people standing in the same style of black school uniform from the way they were dressed to the way they stood stood out.

Even so, he has a natural attitude that doesn’t show any tension.

‘That one, that one.’

The boss pursed his lips.

In fact, most of the supplementary classes had to be dropped to form a correct composition, and even if all of them were eliminated, it was okay.

It’s because we can appeal to ‘Look, our trainees are so good’.

In other words, even if you can see the number of supplementary groups standing over there, they will be sent here if possible.

He was a bit selfish and said,

‘He’s a guy who looks too different.’

The president, who hated the public’s prejudice, grumbled, but anyway, he did not object to Cha Yu-jin’s addition to the supplementary class.

His skills and looks made me doubt why he wasn’t a trainee yet. He nodded his head only after seeing the explanation that he was an American.

‘I have to be good at one or two to get the balance.’

There was no regret in adding a good-looking friend who made rap amazing earlier. Because I plan to drop it in the final anyway and leave it for the next one.

However, the recall ends there.

The lights are now off on stage.

“… … .”

hook.

Dry ice is spread underneath, and red and blue lights shine down.

Humming like falling.

[Um Umumum uum um]

A pop song by a solo female singer famous for her gloomy and cool tone and bass line.

start of reckoning.

The three of them kneel to the beat of drums accompanied by a guitar riff in a

kung minor key.

And then the choreography begins.

[His growling howling

raise me up]

It seems that the movement of using the limbs to the extent of extreme is entering with difficulty, and then the body stands straight with a movement as if someone has pulled it.

Shin Jae-hyun of the center looks at the camera and turns his hand.

The movement that started with the joints of the hands continues throughout the body, cleverly using the upper body and raising the head.

And the lights bouncing with a grim smile.

[To the darkness absence…

No]

The sound of singing and silence.

spread line.

After bending the upper body and bouncing the waist, it goes backwards and jumps over the acrobatics with the floor as it is.

The music explodes.

[Tonight

he’s gonna find your room

and

take you to the wood]

Scratching goes in with precise intensity, with vocals deftly controlled even in the intense action.

Bizarre and intense tones and movements create a very strange atmosphere with school uniforms.

and chorus.

[Watch out!]

Cha Yoo-jin appears from the middle.

For a moment, the gaze is drawn straight up.

[Watch out!

for wolves]

Cha Yoo-jin moved her feet and came forward, deliberately grabbing the camera with a sense of speed, then released her hand.

Eyes sparkle.

“… !”

Directing becomes part of the stage leaving only impact.

But the influence doesn’t go away.

The stage catches the eye.

[Wo wowo woof

Wolf]

A motion in place that moves the shoulders and neck.

and a dance break. Using the person standing in the middle as a kind of buoy, a more difficult performance unfolds on both sides.

The angle is exactly right.

However, the feeling of movement is different.

The intense side that seems to be eaten and the exquisite side that looks like it has concentration.

[Your guest who-oo

comes in the dead

of the night]

Kung.

The song ends with only a dissonant piano note.

Participants staring into the air and falling to the floor.

“… … .”

Only the sound of gasping for breath spread through the hall.

and a bit late.

pair pair… !

Sparse applause fills the venue.

The stage at the filming site has not yet been called, but the applause of the production team and participants for the atmosphere is staggering.

The boss was a little perplexed.

‘what.’

It was because the stage was not of the trainee’s quality that was expected. Rather, it was like a year-end stage of a broadcasting company.

It’s to the point where you don’t even know if the quality is bothered by the other because of the two people.

It was a perfect crush.

‘No, I don’t think it was intended and composed… … .’

… No, if that was the case, those guys would be the boss!

The president gave up his thoughts and looked at the two people on stage with admiration.

It was sincere. I didn’t expect it to do so well.

‘It must be a matter of luck and synergy.’

Anyway, I was very satisfied with getting the stage right.

-Good practice atmosphere

-Light friction with the selection of songs

After reading the summary of the practice process handed over by the production team, the president made up his mind.

And after pouring out great compliments to each person, I picked up the mic again.

“Who made the selection?”

“We did it all together.”

Shin Jae-hyeon, who got up and straightened his clothes, answered softly.

“It could have been a favorable condition for Cha Yu-jin if it was a pop song.”

Shin Jae-hyun only smiled faintly as if he understood, but did not respond.

Because no matter what you say, it’s ambiguous.

‘Smart guy.’

The president proudly continued the following words.

A sincere feeling.

“however… Why does Jaehyun look like the original in my eyes?”

“… !”

Yes.

At first glance, this intense stage looks exactly like the style Cha Yu-jin prefers.

colorful and challenging.

But in fact, the message of this song is more multi-layered.

‘depression.’

Shin Jae-hyun thought lightly.

This song was talking about the fear and resignation of the narrator’s deep depression.

And Shin Jae-hyeon was able to express it as if breathing.

It’s not like you’ve performed the same song multiple times. In this time-warped bizarre world, the selection of songs has also changed.

only… .

Even if it’s not the same song, it’s because I’ve done similar things too many times.

This dark concept has been a steady seller since VTIC entered its 4th year, once a year.

And crucially…

‘Because that’s what LeTi’s president likes.’

He didn’t even bother to turn his head to check his competitor’s face.

Yoojin Cha.

Overwhelming power and dazzling talent that makes you feel like you’re going to eat the song yourself.

However, that was not the only evaluation item.

“Why is that, Jaehyun-ah?”

Shin Jae-hyun picked up the microphone.

“If you really want to find an answer… Maybe it’s just a matter of atmosphere. I’ve been practicing this kind of atmosphere for a long time.”

right answer

right answer

“that’s right.”

the boss laughs

“I think Jaehyun’s performance on stage today was the most LeTi-like performance.”

“thank you.”

Shin Jae-hyun deliberately lowered his head slightly. to show emotion.

And the boss shook his head.

Cha Yu-jin just stood still. Nevertheless, the afterimage of the contrasting feeling I saw on stage remains.

‘hmm.’

He slightly changed his mind.

this becomes a picture

“I announce it.”

The lights on the stage go out and a light comes on in the background.

And the result pops up as if it were natural.

[ Shin Jae-hyeon – Win!]

[Honour class confirmed!]

“Congratulations.”

It was Shin Jae-hyun’s victory.

however.

The boss picked up the microphone again.

“However, I have only one authority given to me by the production team.”

Even if I drop it at the end, I’ll stick it once and see more of this contrast effect!

“During this program, only one trainee can be nullified without any conditions at the risk of being eliminated.”

“… !”

The boss decided.

‘Let’s try to catch it and try to fix it.’

If you attach it here, you will surely be thrilled with the feeling of being ‘recognized’ and try to develop yourself to suit the taste of the person who acknowledged you.

What if you still can’t?

‘I have to keep them out of the market.’

It’s enough to connect small and medium-sized enterprises that can’t go anywhere. The president finished the calculation with a serious expression.

“Cha Yoo-jin lost, but I can clearly see the potential within him. The potential to be a great artist for LeTi.”

“… … .”

“So, with my authority, I accept Cha Yu-jin as an out-of-capacity participant.”

bang.

Letters appear behind the screen.

[Boss Pass!]

[ Cha Yoo-jin – Participants Confirmed]

“Can you help me not to regret my choice?”

“Of course! thank you!”

However, Cha Yoo-jin, who knew how to be thrilled, just grinned and said that

. It was refreshing.

There is no sense of debt or emotion.

‘… That one, that one.’

The president managed his expression while watching Cha Yoo-jin shaking hands with his other team members and patting him on the back.

‘Anyway, those who ate American water are like that.’

The staff seemed to have a hard time getting the habit. However, since I couldn’t withdraw the pass I had already written, the president just nodded nicely.

‘It will help bring Shin Jae-hyun up.’

Because there is synergy, such a high-quality stage would have been possible at least with luck. he thought so

Soon the stage is cleared and by the time he has made up his mind, the next team comes up.

The name of the participant appears on the screen.

[Honour class Ryu Gun-woo]

‘Hmm.’

This time, the atmosphere is quite different from before. The three of them, wearing white jumpers, seemed nervous, but they didn’t seem to keep each other in check.

Rather, he keeps looking at the trainee in the middle and following his gestures, he aligns with the line of movement.

‘Ohh.’

The guy who sang that atmospheric jazz… ?

The president recalled the summary of the singularity of each team’s practice process he had received in advance, and he looked at their outfits.

When an idol debuts, it is said that they go through it at least once when they are rookies.

It was a marine look with a combination of a blue collar and white clothes.

Even one guy is wearing shorts. The boss almost burst into laughter.

“Looking at the outfit, it seems like a cute concept, is that right?”

“We tried to compose with a new feeling.”

Ryu Gun-woo, who naturally took the microphone, glanced at his competitors and just smiled lightly and continued talking.

“Including cuteness.”

Then the people around me laughed hihi. It was so heartwarming that anyone would believe it was a team match.

‘Hmm.’

-No potential for conflict

-Ryu Gun-woo took the initiative

and skimmed through the summary, and once the president nodded.

“Let’s begin.”

I felt like the storyline would come out only when I watched the stage.

“yes!”

Soon, the nodding trainees form around the sofa in the center of the stage.

Sitting in the supplementary class, standing in the inferior class.

And Ryu Gun-woo, who is sitting on the floor.

[Mmm!]

The moment the accompaniment comes out.

In line with the refreshing beat, the people around the sofa bounce like cushions.

[Oh Ohoh Icy eyes

are cold, but I like it!]

I changed the tempo strangely and changed the pitch of ‘Ohoh’ Choo Im-sae.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thanks to this, instead of the burdensome pulling feeling of the original, the pronunciation is cut off like a pop.

[The way of speaking that is like carbonation,

the eyes that are hard like ice]

I sit down on the sofa, get up, get up, take a motion as if I’m flying, climb over it, and get up to match the choreography.

[Oh, it’s so pretty!]

Unlike the original song, the high notes explode, but the jump is high at the right angle.

The song and choreography flow with a pleasant beat that is not heavy.

[I see the butterflies, a complex feeling

like a bee flying in my heart

]

‘Oh.’

Chae-yul was included in every killing part that could be used for close-ups using gestures.

And it digests the part perfectly enough to be embarrassing.

[I’m still fine

, but I’m still cold, so please stop melting]

These lyrics don’t make me cringe.

‘what?’

And the refrain that came back.

[Oh Ohoh Icy eyes,

it’s cold, but I like it]

Surprisingly, Gunwoo Ryu sang the chorus amazingly naturally and made a face.

It was strange to receive a round hat so well.

[Oh Ohoh Icy Ice,

your eyes are cold]

The treble was neat as expected, but the refreshing freshness that I thought would be a little awkward sticks well.

‘… ??’

Only the boss, who did not know that he was a person who survived in the idol industry for 5 years under the nickname of puppy, was embarrassed.

[When you approach and

extend your hand, look at each other with warm eyes]

The tempo accelerates and they sit back on the sofa and perform a more complex choreography in front of the stage.

The dance break center was another trainee.

And the next chorus is sung by this trainee and supplementary class.

‘Hmm.’

The boss nodded inwardly.

and last.

[So cool!]

The part where Park Moon-dae cheated by saying that this part was ‘intense’ covered the stage brightly and cheerfully like a firecracker.

[Oh Ohoh Icy Eyes]

Jumps and high pitches The clear original sound of the appropriate height is balanced with harmony and fills the stage without disturbing places.

A refreshing stage that makes you feel good just by looking at it.

The two of them, who had short trainee periods at this agency, and the non-trainees felt like one stage.

‘I don’t feel like LeTi.’

To be sure, it wasn’t LeTi’s taste, but it wasn’t bad.

A good stage is because it is good regardless of taste.

[But I like it!]

The stage ended with a smile on their face, with a lot of melodies and even the last movements matching neatly.

‘oh.’

Clap clap clap clap!

This time, cheery applause erupts from all over the place.

It wasn’t as overwhelming as the previous stage. However, it was because it was a good stage with good quality and density in a pleasant direction where the heart goes.

The president happily took up the microphone.

“I felt very good. The three divisions fit well… I love it.”

He gave a few words of praise to each individual, especially the supplementary class, and then got to the point.

“How was your practice?”

The trainees, whose faces brightened, answered quickly.

“I had a lot of fun and worked hard!”

“yes. Because my brother guided me well… We all had fun practicing.”

Ryu Gun-woo had a slightly embarrassed face, but he did not deny it and nodded his head. The boss laughed haha.

“I thought so.”

The faces of the trainees brighten.

This is the moment.

“It’s ironic, but… Is that a problem too?”

“… !”

The boss looked back at Ryu Kun-woo.

“Why can’t I see the urgency?”

“… !”

“Geon-wu, I don’t think this is what Gern-wu is best at… This is our second stage, right?”

“… yes.”

“Then, isn’t now the time to work hard to appeal and show what you do best? I gave up all parts now.”

The boss made serious eye contact and said.

“I should have been greedy to show more, rather than unilaterally adapting to my younger siblings. It was a deathmatch.”

On the contrary, the eyes of the two participants standing around seemed to be frightened and worried, but Ryu Kun-wu only swallowed his saliva once.

I liked that guts too!

“This is not something that can be called fun. It requires sincerity.”

So, just as a lion drops its cub off a cliff, he thought of raising one.

“I did well, but today I just did well. This is a compliment from a student, not a pro.”

Ryu Gun-woo had an expressionless face, but his shoulders trembled.

‘Yes, that’s it.’

You need to be stimulated.

You and the viewers too!

The president held back a smile of repentance and pressed the button with an anguished face.

“We announce the winner.”

[ Jin Chae-yul – Win!]

[Participant confirmed!]

Chae-yul.

“congratulations. You are now a participant.”

“… ! thank you… … .”

To say thank you is staggering as if in shock.

“And Mr. Ryu Gun-woo is in danger of being eliminated.”

The boss smiled condescendingly.

That was the moment.

‘uh?’

He passed by right away, but for some reason, it seemed that Ryu Gun-woo smiled at first glance.

‘… Is it because of dejection?’

But looking at it again, I think it was just because of my mood. The president shrugged and took the microphone seriously.

“Go in. I saw you.”

So the evaluation is over.

and behind the scenes.

Cha Yoo-jin found Moon-dae Park, who soothed Jin Chae-yul, who was shedding tears, to make it look good on camera.

The camera is already gone. So I went over and patted him.

“brother!”

“okay.”

Park Mun-dae had a face that was not particularly inspired. Even though her face had changed, her strange expression, as if peaceful, was still the same.

And even subtle kindness.

“Are you sorry you lost?”

“no.”

Cha Yu-jin shrugged. Then he looked up at the stage and smiled.

[It’s not just that old man who really decides the winner.]

“… !”

His brother seemed momentarily taken aback, but probably soon understood the situation.

‘This guy… I did it on purpose.’

as such

And that was the answer!

[Coming soon. That I won.]

“Is that so?”

Cha Yoo-jin deliberately tapped her shoulder. As usual, she slipped away.

“Are you sorry bro?”

“no.”

‘It can’t be.’

Park Moon-dae laughed a little.

“Same thing.”

The filming that day ended just like that.

And not long after, LeTi’s in-house survival show 〈Wise〉 finally got on the air.
