'It's a standout contestant.'

Cheong-ryeo was skeptical about their long-term success, regardless of finishing filming with the participants of "Aju Temple" with a smile.

The current top tier of the program was doing well with the power of audition entertainment. But competitiveness when it actually came to the market was another story.

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

There were many cases where they were eliminated from the internal competition of the agency and were involved in audition programs.

Cheong-ryeo was just going to continue talking about the lunch menu, but he put a participant's name in his mouth that came to mind.

"Park Moon-dae?"

"Oh, chicken feet?"

Cheong-ryeo did not laugh even when he heard the younger member laughing.

"The answer to the questionnaire was all the same as mine."

"Oh my! Really? That's amazing." ...is his personality similar to yours?"

"...to a certain extent."

"Oh, really?"

Cheong-ryeo was a little disappointed, ignoring his astonished brother.

"It would be nice if there was one of those types in the team."

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

"Well, if his personality is similar to yours, it's very... "You must be cold-hearted"

"You mean it's realistic, right?"

"Yes, it is."

The type who is not immersed in the situation of others and is not good at unrealistic thinking.

It is a talent award that suits ordinary companies more than celebrities.

In general, aspiring idols, especially talented young children, had both their own strengths and weaknesses in the arts and sports field.

It meant less cold, whether in a good or bad way.

However, the reality they still faced was an adult society dominated by capitalist logic.

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

"Really? Thank you."

Some may think that his face is painted with gold, but Cheong-Ryeo agreed with his younger brother.

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

Just like the VTIC that he is the leader.

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

"If you do it for a year, it'll become a dance."'

And due to its nature, even if the seniority was short, the team had no choice but to have a stronger voice on its own. I could guarantee that it was something that Cheong-ryeo himself experienced.

'Then it'll be easier to work with.'

It was good for both the team and the company.

However, just because VTIC re-signed with the company and received some shares, there was no need to pay more attention to the next boy idol and there was no room.

It's because there's only one competitor if you debut anyway.

It was enough that I asked him out of conscience once.

"He'll call you if he's interested."'

With a short conclusion, Cheong-ryeo drew a line from his head and cleared it up. It was a busy season.

* * *

"Idol Joint-Stock Company" is on the set of "Idol Co., Ltd." not long after the ranking announcement ceremony began.

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

Only 20 people can compete.

That alone created tension in the hall.

And there was still one factor left that would cause a change in the cramped personnel.

"Leaders of the two first place candidates for the 3rd round, please stand up!"

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

Of course, we have reached an agreement with Gold 1. I already submitted it during the interview before the shoot.

"Our "Moon Rabbit" team is... We've selected participants for Ha."

However, even after Big 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 your team members."

The MC's urging sounds exciting because of my sense of damage.

Ryu Chung-woo spoke slowly.

"Our team chose Choi Won-gil."

Wow, you did it until the end.

Was he unexpectedly me?'

To be honest, I didn't think I'd pack that.

Then, Choi Won-gil boldly gave up 50% of the free pass and transferred.

And by the way, the situation has become ambiguous thanks to him.

This is because he had already told the production team who he had selected before filming.

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

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

The MC looked at the production team's sketchbook and slowly completed the lines.

"There is an unexpected situation, and in principle, if voluntary disembarkation occurs, the benefit of the participants will naturally disappear. However, considering the special circumstances of the casting call, we will give the Huskya team an additional three minutes of discussion!"

"...I see."

Ryu Chung-woo bowed and sat down to gather his teammates.

And I kicked my tongue inside.

'...it's over.'

You don't have to look at this, but that team is first.

"If you don't take out the screen like that and don't get the benefit, the picture won't buy."

The production team was not a fool and could not have made such a plan.

After all, Gold 1 means you have to survive on your own.

"Victory by default is over."'

Seeing Gold1's face trying to pretend not to be nervous, it seemed that they were also feeling a subtle chill.

And sure enough, first place wasn't the "Moon Rabbit" team.

"Congratulations! First place is... "The Husky" team!"

"Thank you."

But the funny situation is not over.

"Under the additional agreement of the Huskya team, participants who benefit from unconditional survival are... Cha Yu-jin is a contestant...!"

Those crazy people gave Cha Yu-jin the benefit.

It's either one of them.'

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

Anyway, it's up to them, and the "Moon Rabbit" team had a second-place atmosphere.

"It's a shame."

"Yeah, I know."

"Hey, no! I'm getting a fair grade!"

Gold 1 is pretending to be cheerful, but honestly, it wasn't strange to be swearing at the Huskies inside.

'I've already done it too.'

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

And the real ranking announcement began.

"17th place is... Kwon Hee Seung!"

Just as the atmosphere unraveled with "Casting Call" was a lie, the air tightened every time the rankings were announced.

"A, thank you......."

Gold 2, which was called the second time after 18th place, went up to the podium with a relieved look.

'That guy keeps going, too.'

I didn't expect it to go to the end. It was a chin-up.

In that way, the rankings up to 10th place were announced without any change. It means that people who deserve to stick have stuck together.

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

"11th place is... Lee Sejin~ A! Contestant!"

It was a good performance for a straight fight in the previous team match. It seems that he received a mysterious connection thanks to his fight with Choi Won-gil, who was photographed as a villain.

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

"Oh, I envy you."

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

Isn't that cheating?

He was a man who could be seen in the world.

It was clear that he was memorizing the prayer of "Please sing late" inside.

It was really professional camera consciousness.

"Congratulations!"

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

Most of the familiar participants were named and went on the podium.

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

"Thank you."

I sat in the 6th place.

It was a slight decline from last time.

'As expected, the ranking has fallen.'

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

The reason for inflation was simple.

You can vote as much as you spend money, so the more fans are conscious of negative votes, the more anxious they are.

And this tendency was bound to get stronger as the participants seemed desperate.

'If you're nervous, shout even more.'

In other words, the production team has adopted a wonderful way to squeeze the wallet.

However, compared to other top-tier players who are controversial in the past, whether it is in terms of volume or rank, Park Moon-dae recently had no particular situation to be criticized.

'Can't be helped.'

But it was crazy to make controversy. It's not me who controls the level of editing, it's the production crew.

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

It was a little disappointing, but it was a ship that had already passed. Anyway, since VTIC came out, it was impossible to pull out the amount centered on Park Moon-dae.

"Congratulations!"

"Oh, thank you."

Big Se-jin, who rose slightly and finished seventh, smiled and asked for a high five. It was a very standard reaction from a fellow participant.

'I think he's going to debut, too.'

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

As expected, voters must have rallied.

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

Was it a pushover?.'

We were on the same team at the time, so there was no choice. Still, it was inevitable that it was a little twisted. I kicked my tongue short inside, and turned my attention to the road MC.

First place was Cha Yu-jin.

"Wow!"

Cha Yu-jin smiled excitedly and received the No. 1 badge, but suddenly, he calmed down seriously and expressed his feelings and gratitude.

"Come out here and... I learn a lot and think a lot. We'll work harder and stronger to show you great performances. Thank you so much for the first place."

The grammar was still grotesque, but the voice was as serious as ever. Recently, the amount and synergy have been remarkable.

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

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

"The 1st place stock chosen by the shareholders, Cha Yujin contestant! Congratulations once again∼"

With moderate applause, Cha Yu-jin climbed to the first-place seat and sat down.

The remaining survivors are the two lowest places.

And so far Gold 1 hasn't made it to the podium.

First of all, I was nominated.'

The situation was hopeful until four 20th and 19th candidates appeared on the electronic display and Gold 1's face was visible. The odds were 50 per cent.

And the name of Gold 1 is called.......

The last contestant to make it to the final stage of "20th place! is... It's Seo Tae-moon!"

...wasn't there

As in the top spot in the team match, half the odds betrayed Gold 1 again.

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

"I'm going back with pride that I've come this far. Thank you so much for voting for us!"

In the end, Gold 1 and Ha Il-jun finished the audition at 21st place.

"Hey!"

"Hey, call me!"

As soon as the MC's closing remarks were over, the dropouts had less formal time to see off than before. I've been in trouble for months, and I'm sure you'll have three or four close friends.

I greeted Gold 1 after Gold 2 and Seonn Ahyun, who were shedding tears.

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

Let's shake hands moderately first.

"Drawing~"

However, this side also started with a hug as if it was a serious emotional build-up.

"I can't take this off."

Gold 1 said calmly to be uncomfortable.

It seems like you're holding back the disappointment.

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

I don't know if I would have believed it if I had just entered the body of "Park Moon-dae" and told him that it would be complicated by the words of an aspiring idol a few months later.

"Oh, my."

I returned the words of blessing instead of sighing.

"You, too."

"What"?

"I think you're going to debut soon"

Gold 1, Ha Il-joon released a hug and grinned.

"Right? I'm ready for it."

I don't know. I don't know if I'll be able to make it to the 21st place.

But I just nodded.

Surprisingly, it wasn't the idea of getting it done properly because the camera was spinning.

"Thank you for everything."

"I was so thankful!"

Fifty-seven were eliminated and the remaining 20 participants. Now all I had to wait for was the final.
