[Episode 051 will kill you if you don't debut]

"A prominent participant."'

Regardless of finishing filming with the participants of "Ajusa" with a smile, Cheongnyeo was skeptical about their long-term success.

The program's current top ranks were doing well with the power of audition entertainment. However, this is because the competitiveness when it came to the actual market was another story.

"It might just seem like you're doing well in the program story."

Anyway, there were many cases where they were eliminated from the internal competition of the agency and passed away through audition programs.

Cheongnyeo was just trying to continue talking about the lunch menu, but put a participant in her mouth who inadvertently came to mind.

"Park Moon-dae?"

"Oh, chicken feet?"

Cheongnyeo did not laugh as she heard the younger member laughing.

"The answers were all the same as mine."

"Oh my! Really? That's cool." ...Is my personality similar to yours?"

"...somewhat."

"Really?"

Cheongnyeo ignored her shocked younger brother and was a little disappointed.

"It'd be nice if there was a type like that on the team."

It was clear that Park Moon-dae thought the survey was stupid. He seemed to have somehow taken a neutral answer by paying attention to the broadcast.

"Well, if you have a similar personality as yours..." You must be cold-hearted.

"Does it mean realistic?"

"That's right."

Type of not being immersed in other people's circumstances and not good at unrealistic thinking.

It is a talent that suits general companies more than celebrities.

In general, idol aspiring students, especially talented young children, had all the unique strengths and weaknesses of the arts and sports field.

Whether in a good or bad sense, it meant less cold.

However, the reality that they would still face as young was an adult society dominated by capitalist logic.

"Well, it's good to have someone like you as the leader.

"Really? Thank you."

Some people might think that his face is gold, but Cheongnyeo also agreed with his younger brother.

'It's better for a person with a cold head to set the mood.'

Just like the VTIC in which you are the leader.

In that sense, Park Moon-dae was a pretty good candidate for the next debut group.

'If you roll over a year, you can dance.'

And due to its nature, if he was older, he had no choice but to have a strong voice in the team even if he had a short age. I could guarantee that it was something that Cheongnyeo himself experienced.

Then it'll be easier to work with.'

It was a good thing for both the team and the company.

However, just because VTIC received some shares by re-opening with the company, there was no need to pay more attention or relaxation to the next male idol.

This is because it is always the same to be a competitor if you make a debut anyway.

It was enough because I recommended it once out of conscience.

'I'll contact you if you have any thoughts.'

After a short conclusion, Cheongnyeo drew a line from her head and removed it from the "schedule that has already been completed." It was a busy season.

* * *

Inside the set of "Idol Corporation", which has not been long since the ranking announcement ceremony began.

The format was the same. However, the number of people has decreased significantly.

There are only 20 people who can get in.

That alone created tension in the hall.

And there was still one factor left to cause fluctuations in the cramped number of people.

"The leaders of the top two teams, please stand up".

It is the benefit of winning the team match. The right to survive in which one person agreed from the top team unconditionally advances to the next round.

Of course, our side has reached an agreement with Gold 1. Before the shoot, I already submitted it during the pre-interview.

"Our "Moon Bunny" team is..." We've selected Ha Il-joon participants."

However, even after Keun Se-jin's words, Ryu Chung-woo, the leader of the Huskya team, remained silent for quite a while.

There seemed to be a problem.

" team, please announce the selected team members."

The reason why the MC's urge sounds excited is because of my sense of damage.

Ryu Chung-woo slowly opened his mouth.

"Our team chose Choi Won Gil."

Wow, you're doing it until the end.

"Was he surprisingly a guy?"'

Honestly, I didn't know you would have packed that.

This means that Choi Won-gil boldly gave up 50% of the free pass and transferred.

And anyway, the situation became ambiguous thanks to him.

This is because they had already delivered who they selected to the production crew before filming.

Looking at the situation, Choi Won-gil's urgent change after fleeing seems to have not been confirmed by the production team.

But now, the production team hurriedly took a meeting motion as if embarrassed, and sent an autograph to the MC.

The MC slowly completed the line by looking at the production team's sketchbook.

"An unexpected situation has occurred, and in principle, if a voluntary drop-off occurs, the participant's benefits will naturally disappear. However, considering the special situation of "Casting Call", we will give the "Huskya" team an additional three minutes of consultation time!"

"I see."

Ryu Chung-woo sat down and gathered team members.

And I kicked my tongue inside.

'It's over.'

Even if you don't look at this, that team is first place.

"If you don't give me benefits after pulling out the screen like that, the picture won't buy."

The production team is not an idiot, and there was no way they made such a scene.

In the end, Gold 1 means that you have to survive on your own.

'The victory by default is over.''

Seeing Gold 1's face trying to pretend not to be nervous, it seemed that he was feeling a subtle chill over there, too.

And sure enough, the first place was not the "Moon Rabbit" team.

"Congratulations!" 1st place is... "Husky team!"

"Thank you."

However, the funny situation is not over.

"According to the additional agreement of the Husky team, participants who unconditionally benefit from survival..." I'm Cha Yujin participant.!"

Those crazy guys gave Cha Yoo-jin the benefit.

"It's either one of the two."'

Either the agreement broke down or Cha Yu-jin looked ridiculously hateful.

Anyway, it was their own business, and the "Moon Rabbit" team had a second-place atmosphere.

"It's a bit disappointing.

"I know."

"Hey, no!" I'll be ranked fairly!"

Gold 1 is shouting as if it were cheerful, but honestly, it wasn't strange even if he was swearing at the Husky guys inside.

'I already did it, too.'

That's how the announcement of the top spot in the team competition ended.

And the real ranking announcement began.

"17th place is... Kwon HEESEUNG!"

Just as the atmosphere that was released with "Casting Call" was a lie, the air was tightened every time the ranking was announced.

"Go, thank you..."...."

Gold 2, the second-largest player after 18th place, openly climbed to the podium with a relieved look.

"He keeps going, too."'

I didn't know it would go to the end. It was a chin-up, though.

As such, the rankings were announced up to the 10th place without any unexpected change. It means that there are people who deserve to stick together.

What's surprising is that Lee Se-jin has risen slightly.

"11th place is... Lee Sejin! A! Participant!"

It was a good performance for an open fight in the previous team match. Perhaps thanks to the fight with Choi Won-gil, who was marked as a villain, it seems to have been corrected for question.

Next to him, big Se-jin was sweeping his chest and applauding Lee Se-jin.

"Oh, I'm jealous."

Big Se-jin murmured slightly faintly, as if he was worried about falling.

Isn't that deception?

It was obvious that he would get in.

It was clear that he was memorizing "Please call me late" inside.

It was a very professional camera consciousness.

"Congratulations!"

On the podium, the MC took the time to announce the rankings.

Most of the familiar participants were called by their names and climbed to the podium.

And Park Moon-dae's name was called not later than before.

"Thank you."

I sat in the sixth place.

It was a slight decline from the last time.

"As expected, the ranking fell."'

The number of votes did not decrease. It's just that my vote has not increased as much as the top inflation.

The reason for the inflation was simple.

Since fans can vote as much as they spend money, the more they are conscious of negative voting, the more votes they buy out of anxiety.

And this tendency was bound to become stronger as the participants looked desperate.

"If you're scared, scream more."'

In other words, the production crew has amazingly adopted the method of squeezing wallets.

However, compared to other controversial top players in the past, whether in terms of volume or ranking, "Park Moon-dae" has not been particularly criticized recently.

"There's nothing I can do."'

However, it was crazy to make controversy. I'm not the one who controls the level in editing, but the production team.

"It's a waste to just skip 'Casting Call'."

It was a little disappointing, but it was a ship that had already passed. As long as VTIC pops out anyway, it would be difficult to select the amount centered on Park Moon-dae.

"Congratulations!"

"Oh, thank you."

Big Se-jin, who finished seventh with a slight rise, smiled and asked for a high five. It was a very standard reaction of fellow participants.

"I think he's going to debut considering the momentum.'

Except for the negative votes posted during the school violence controversy, the larger Se-jin had more votes than Park Moon-dae.

As expected, voters seem to have gathered.

I didn't know good deeds would threaten the back of my head.

"As expected, was this what a pushover did?".'

At that time, we were on the same team, so there was nothing we could do. Still, it was inevitable that the belly was a little twisted. I kicked my tongue briefly and turned to the road MC.

First place was Cha Yu-jin.

"Wow!"

Cha Yu-jin smiled excitedly and received the No. 1 badge, suddenly refined her attitude seriously and expressed her feelings and gratitude.

"Come out here..." I learn a lot and think a lot. We will work harder and make a stronger and cooler appearance in the future. "Thank you so much for first place."

Grammar was still bizarre, but it was such a serious voice that it had never been shown before. Recently, the volume and synergy have appeared.

"That's why you won first place."'

The fact that he doesn't seem to be aiming for it was really like the guy with the highest talent rating here.

"The No. 1 stock chosen by the shareholders, Cha Yujin!" Congratulations once again.∼"

With a moderate applause, Cha Yu-jin went up to the top seat and sat down.

The remaining survivors are the lowest two places.

And Gold 1 has not yet been on the podium.

'First of all, I was nominated.'

The situation was hopeful until the four candidates for the 20th and 19th places appeared on the electronic display and Gold 1's face was visible. The probability was 50%.

And the fact that Gold 1 is.......

The last participant to advance to the final stage of "20th place!" is... I'm Seo Taemun!

There wasn't.

As in the No. 1 team match, half the probability betrayed Gold 1 again.

It was a result of a 50% probability and a loss of an enemy.

"I'll go back with pride that I've come this far. Thank you so much to the shareholders who voted for us!"

Eventually, Gold 1 and Ha Il-joon finished their audition participation in 21st place.

"Hey!"

"Hey, call me!"

As soon as the MC's closing remarks were over, the losers had less formal farewell time than before. We've been together for months, so we'll have three or four close friends.

I greeted Gold 1 after Gold 2 and Sun Ah-hyun, who were shedding tears.

The camera was turning, and it was burdensome to talk after the two who were soaked in emotions.

Let's shake hands in moderation.

"Moodae".

However, this side also started with a hug to see if it was an emotional build-up.

"I can't take this off."

Gold 1 calmly said to be uncomfortable.

It's a word that seems like you pressed down on those words.

"I think you're going to debut." Cheer up."

If I had told myself that it would be a complicated feeling to the words of blessing of an idol aspiring student in a few months, I don't know if I would have believed it.

"Oh, my."

I returned the words of blessing instead of sighing.

"You too."

"What?"

"I think you'll debut soon, too."

Gold 1, Ha Il-joon smiled after loosening his hug.

"Right? I'm ready to do well."

I don't know. Will I be able to perform with an ambiguous final ranking of 21st place?

But I just nodded.

Surprisingly, the camera was spinning, so it wasn't an act that came from the idea of doing it properly.

"Thank you so much."

"I was so thankful".

57 people were eliminated and the remaining 20 participants. Now all I had to do was wait for the final.

[Episode 052 will kill you if you don't debut]

After the dropouts left the coffee shop, the remaining participants changed into training clothes at the accommodation and reunited.

When is the time to see off with tears and runny nose, and now everyone seems to be in a strange sense of Seonmin.

"There's nothing we can do about it's inevitable.'

As he came to the finals with unspecified support, his ego could have become bloated.

He deserved to be drunk on the atmosphere unless he was mentally strong. I'm young, too.

It was not seen whether the MC had left work.

Instead, Young-rin filmed.

", the 20 participants who will complete the last performance." Congratulations. Shall we clap our hands?"

"Yes!"

Clap clap clap clap clap. But what's important now is not this greeting.

"Why isn't there anything?"'

Obviously, it was time to divide the last team. However, there was nothing on the set. I can't see any props waiting.

All there was was an electronic display. What are you going to do?

"First of all, I'll reveal the song you're going to perform on the final stage."

[Hello! I'm an igler]]

"Gasp."

On the electronic display, a team of composers came out and greeted. It was a famous team that worked on several famous idol titles. Participants were excited as some familiar music videos passed by.

[Our ISLOUR's song for the participants] I'll reveal it right away!]

"It's a new song."

It was not until the final that he gave a song that could be included in the debut team's album. I can guess the size of the budget before the start of the season.

[Lalu~ La Li~]

Anyway, the song was good. It sticks to your ears and quickly enters the program on the music charts.It wasn't a song that would disappear in an instant.

The problem is that I don't know what the guide vocalist says.

"I think I'm just singing it as I can."'

Hang on. No way.

"The song is titled . And the lyrics are... I don't have any!"

"What?"

"Don't you have lyrics?"

Participants' reactions poured out at Young-rin's words. Soon, one of the composition teams on the electronic display awkwardly read the script while posing for fighting.

[Please show your creativity and complete the demo version of "Final"! Way to go!

Young-rin spoke as if taking over the sound of the video.

"That's right. is an unfinished song."

"The participants have to write the lyrics themselves, complete the choreography, and add a subtitle that suits this song. Also, arrangement is possible."

I knew this would happen.

"Is there a ghost of self-production?"

No matter how well self-produced idols do, I didn't know they would do this even in the final.

In the 3rd team match, except for the "Moon Rabbit" team, you didn't see the whole production part.

Cha Yu-jin won the first place in the Husky team. I didn't like it when I heard the song there.

"Even the final is live, what are you going to do?"'

I listened to the last stage song playing from the electronic display, trembling.

What's certain is that you have to be on the same team as Kim Rae-bin. Lyrics and arrangement?

There's nothing more to see, so let's catch him first.

'So how do you make a team?'

Younglin announced as if responding to the idea.

"And the formation of the team that we're going to perform together..." It's completely free."

"...!!"

"No matter who you form and which team you form, the production team will not be involved at all. You can form a team with up to 7 people and proceed with the practice."

Oh My Goodness.

"It's a mess."

If anyone behaves wrong, it will be controversial at the last minute.

As far as I know, the live broadcast on the day of the final was also heavily loaded. I didn't know it would be a minefield in the final stage preparation part yet.

"And the benefit of winning the final stage is..." It's 10 million won."

"Gasp!"

Strange sounds burst out here and there.

Everyone looked embarrassed by the sudden prize money.

"For fair competition, the production team decided to leave the participants' final debut in the hands of shareholders."

I don't want to say this. If it's 10 million won... I think I will receive about 7.8 million won if I take out taxes.

"I want to ride that no matter what."'

For reference, I still haven't received the refrigerator I rode at the talent show. Don't tell me they're wiping their mouths after delaying their prize money.

While calculating, I listened to Young-rin's remaining words.

"All right. Team members who will make the final stage together, now..." Go ahead and start!"

As soon as the words fell, the participants showed their behavior.

"It's Moon-dae."

"Hey."

They came straight from both sides. 7th place is Keun Se-jin and 5th place is Kim Rae-bin.

Big Se-jin smiled when he checked Kim Rae-bin.

Is it that there are no overlapping positions?

"Let's go together".

"Good."

"Okay."

The agreement was reached in an instant. In the meantime, Sun Ah-hyun, who was standing in the second place from over there, approached.

Well, it's Sun Ahyun... It's okay because he doesn't lose money even if he puts it in.

"Shall we do it together?"

"Uh, Uh!"

Sun Ah-hyun's face became brighter. Other team members also nodded without much opposition.

Four people with this.

I frowned my eyebrows.

2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th.

"Is it too much?"

I think the top ranks will be criticized for their friendship.

Slowly, I thought I should include participants who were good, ranked relatively low, and unfamiliar.

"Brother, Cha Yujin is..."."

"Hmm".

Kim Rae-bin said the word.

I checked Cha Yu-jin and Ryu Chung-woo, who are already talking over there.

First place, fourth place.

Oh, I can't do this.

"Why don't you just end it here?"

"What?"
