Slowly, the time had come.

I turned off the comment box for the stage video of October 31 that I was watching until now.

First, let’s talk about my overall understanding of the situation……

‘It’s going so well that it’s scary……’

Indeed, there was no other way to express it.

From views to comments in the posts, the number easily exceeded five or six times that of other teams aired in the third episode.

Ryu Chungwoo’s team saw a rise in buzz in a different sense, but it seems there were some gains that came from it.

Anyway, unless there was a sudden twist, it looks like I would be able to pass the second round smoothly.

Therefore, the next shoot was even more important. Now that I realized the power of editing, I should be more careful.

So let’s look into things that will help with the next shoot.

I put a new search term in the search box.

[Park Moondae solo fancam]

When I searched, the first video was the official video with the posting date marked as ‘1 Day Ago’.

I waited a day to watch it so that I could objectively look at the feedback.

Then. The number was more than expected.

[Views: 320,000]

Considering that dancing was not my strength but instead just an addition, the figure was higher than expected.

I saw the videos of the other participants showing up in the recommended videos below.

“30,000, 120,000, 7,000, 20,000, 60,000…… Hmm.”

There were only a few who had higher numbers than me. No, in the first place, most didn’t even exceed 50,000.

In terms of number of views, it was likely to be within the top 12.

Considering that the stage had already been released, it was an even better result.

‘But the actual content is more important.’

I looked through the video comments in order of recommendation.

– Look at Park Moondae’s expression in all his parts. He was born to be a genius idol ㅠㅠ

– I’m surprised at how this concept is also perfect

– Popcorn, chicken feet, and now even horror. Park Moondae. Are you a god?

– My ears thank you for that bridge

– Moondae-ya is a fan of MallangDalkom, so when their song got picked he got a little excited, that’s so cute!

The last comment was a bit… There seems to be a misunderstanding, but It seems to be taken in well, so let’s think of it as a compliment.

Besides that, there were mostly compliments.

When sorted by the latest order, I could see a few abusive comments here and there, but even those disappeared as they were being swept away by the late English comments.

This time, I searched my name on SNS. ‘Park Moondae’ and ‘Moondae’.

The screen was immediately filled with posts with images and videos.

– Moondae is so cute. (Solo fancam gif)

– How did you come up with horror from that? ㅠㅠ Our Moondae’s skills, personality, and sense are a trinity idol ㅠㅠ

– Park Moondae is good at singing, but I don’t know if he’s that special, though his face is my type (Photo from Production Presentation)

– Moon Puppy, eat well. Please be nice ♡ (Photo of photoshopped puppy Mukban)

I was a little embarrassed because it was overflowing with appreciation for all sorts of things.

Face, voice, facial expression, shoulders, eating behavior…. There was even an article saying that they liked a cute habit of mine that I didn’t even know about.

I rubbed the back of my neck with my hand.

It’s a bit embarrassing but… I didn’t feel bad. I was grateful, and I felt strangely motivated, which was very good.

Of course, this wouldn’t be all of the Internet opinion.

I was lost in thought.

Let’s see. If you transform “Moondae” in a way it won’t be caught up in the search…….

“Hmm.”

I put in a search word without having to think much.

[Gommeo (곰머)]

It was a simple modification by turning ‘Moon (문)’ upside down and changing ‘Dae (대)’ into a similar notation.

Things like this were the standard while I was selling data, so my guess was probably right.

And as expected, the results poured out.

-Gommeo is so damn ugly, can’t even dance to Pop Con F*ck, Where is the editing hahaha, I really hate it, diediedie

– To be honest, IJ1C doesn’t have any good main vocal, so it looks like they are clenching their fists and pushing Gommeo. The sound is so;; typically that cleanliness… Whew.

– Being a fan of Gommeo and MallangSweet also shows a lot of concept.∼

– I want to see Gommeo’s chest. He should expose it the next stage.

– Commoner hahaha Gommeo? He must have washed dishes while in the trainee camp~ I can bet my account, It’s so fake that I can’t even look at it

There were a lot of malicious comments without batting lines.

Oh, even though I prepared my heart, it was still shocking.

There was something weird in the middle.. It might seem like sexual harassment, so I guess they didn’t want it to get caught up on the search.

Interestingly, quite a few of the accounts that posted malicious comments had Cha Yujin as their profile pictures.

It was probably because he was the most popular participant, so it was set up to check, but there were probably real ones also.

And it seemed to create a strange tension.

The atmosphere where the participants who performed together in the first team match, being attacked by the participants of other teams.

It was not particularly surprising because it was a type of trend that was always observed in this type of audition program.

It was also something I experienced myself when I sold data.

The person who wants to discard the latter by buying the audition data for the participant they push and the data for the participant they check together.

And so to speak, Cha Yujin and Park Moondae seemed to belong to opposing camps.

“Should I just say it’s a side effect because the team match went extremely well?”

Anyway, it was something I could handle, so I just passed it off.

Rather, I had to see if there was anything to extract from the malicious comments.

‘For now there is no need to talk about the songs.’

Since it had an objective stat for it, it could be verified as the broadcast progresses.

The next thing that was mentioned a lot was… my character.

The biggest reaction was that it was contrived and unlucky, and those who criticised Park Moondae’s face had a similar reaction to ‘That sort of concept with that face? Haha’.

No, if I don’t have a face, I can’t have a character…

I’ve never liked the direction of editing, but it was a little bitter.

But soon I realized that it was an unnecessary feeling.

“If it’s my face. I can make it.”’

The next shoot was the ranking announcement ceremony.

Compared to the upcoming 4th episode, the filming time was about a month later.

This meant that it would do so even if my appearance changed a little.

“Status window.”

I focused on my visual stat without hesitation.

And after thinking for a while, I took out my smartphone, opened the group chat, and sent a message.

[Anyone know of a good shop?]

Since we’re doing it, let’s do it properly.

***

A few days before the 5th episode, the ranking announcement ceremony aired, there were all kinds of rumors in the related communities on the Internet claiming to be ranking spoilers.

=========================

[ㅇㅈㅅ Ranking Spoilers]

: This is from a staff (Unclear picture)

1st place Cha ㅇjin.

2nd place Ryu Chungㅇ.

5th place Kim Raebㅇ

6th place Seon ㅇhyun.

Child actor sㅇin is out of the top 10 because during the shooting, he has been dragging his feet and struggling while filming.

=========================

-It seems fabricated, but I wish Lee Sejin was quicker Ha. How dare a useless child actor crawl into an idol survival show lolol

└I got the pdf.

└Yes Ha Take it Ha

-As expected, Cha Yujin is in first place.

– I’m jealous that Ryu Chungwoo gets to be in 2nd place thanks to editing.

└ You idiots, don’t pretend to be fooled. It’s disgusting.

└ There’s a proof shot, so isn’t it real?

└ Here you go. It’s stolen from another behind-the-scenes picture that was uploaded last year.

└ Oh my…

And so, the manipulation was exposed and eventually the post was deleted.

The production team did their best to block the spoilers, and the effort was half-lucky and successful.

Thanks to this, just before the 5th episode with the ranking announcement ceremony started, viewers sat in front of the screen full of excitement.

Here, the woman sitting in front of her desktop felt the same way.

She was praying with her hands together.

‘Please Moondae’s stocks……’

In the minimised tab of her desktop, there was a Park Moondae fancam from the production presentation being uploaded.

Yes, she was the owner of the cannon camera, who was hooked on Park Moondae while watching the first team match as a spectator.

She had completely transferred to Park Moondae through the PR broadcast and the main program.

She even settled down as a home master by posting the pictures she took.

And today was the long-awaited day of the ranking announcement. She thought nervously.

‘There’s no way that Moondae will fall. However, once he gets a high rank here, his recognition as a top rank will definitely be solidified.”

The reality was that the latecomers were beaten everywhere, and it was difficult to climb through the already hardened concrete layer.

‘So the first ranking announcement is important.’

She thought so, and with one hand, she wrote to her account through her smartphone.

=========================

FullMoon Baby

: I uploaded a fancam of Park Moondae’s production presentation. (Youtube link)

#ParkMoondae #ParkMoondaestockpurchase #IJCParkMoondae #MoonPuppy #Moondae

=========================

It was a post attached with a close-up cam of the production presentation that was uploaded just before.

As soon as it was uploaded, the number of shares increased steadily.

‘Good.’

She looked at the phenomenon with proud eyes, and immediately added additional promotional phrases.

– Please show a lot of support for our Moondae! :D♡ (Link to buying stocks for Idol Joint-Stock Company)

After posting, the last advertisement was slowly passing by.

5 seconds later, the broadcast started.

She shook her feet and looked at the logo on the screen.

[Re-listed! Idol Joint-Stock Company]

Soon, the screen changed, and a simple trailer was put on to raise expectations.

[Participant #30, Participant #20, ….Who’s the last participant to make it to the 49th place?]

The images of various participants bowing their heads, biting their lips, and bursting into tears quickly passed by.

It was a stimulating edit that created tension, but she was not in the right mind to care.

Just now, Park Moondae’s cut was captured.….

A new hairstyle with a soft perm….

“Blonde.”

She blankly muttered, realized the meaning of her words, and covered her mouth with her hands.

“Moondae is blonde!!”’

In fact, it was a less extreme hair color that was close to a golden brown, but it looked really good.

It was unbelievably good and cute!

It is also a virtue of idols that dyed hair is well received, but why did Park Moondae even have that?

It was clear that God stabbed him to become an idol no matter what.

As she updated the timeline of her SNS with hands trembling with emotion, similar words were pouring out.

– Crazy

– Omg blonde

– Have I gone crazy

– Moon Puppy, you decided to kill me today… There is no doubt……

– The puppy is perfect ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Actually, it is widely believed in the academy that he dyed his blonde hair black. Anyway then

Park Moondae’s fans continued to pour out painful comments.

In fact, Park Moondae’s cheerful investment in his visual stats played a big role in getting the compliments.

However, everyone naturally believed that the change in hairstyle had brought about a change in appearance.

Because that one cut came out so well, their runaway went on for quite some time.

[Creating a PR show]

It was at the time when all the small behind-the-scenes productions were over and the PR broadcast preparation filming started just before the ranking announcement.

On the screen, the participants were astonished by the MC’s announcement.

[You guys have the next 15 minutes! Just find the treasure ball!]

[What?!]

‘I was curious about this.’

She came to her senses and refocused on the broadcast.

She wondered if they would shed some light on how Moondae got to pick the chicken feet.

[Hey!]

[Oh yeah! gold!]

However, on the screen, it only showed the participants who rushed around for a long time to find and steal the balls.

‘What. There is not enough screen time for Moondae.’

Park Moondae’s fans complained that the producers had no sense.

Even the viewers unexpectedly made similar remarks.

– The story of the chicken feet doesn’t come until the end?

– It’s like he just screwed up and did chicken feet

– Hahaha

However, these reactions changed quickly.

Because Park Moondae suddenly appeared in a quiet restaurant where there were no people.

– ??

– What, why is there no one here?

– Why is Park Moondae alone?

Park Moondae, who entered the restaurant, gestured behind his back.

Then the others’ heads crept out from behind the door.

[Lee Sejin (B): There is no one here right?]

[Park Moondae: Yeah. Let’s go right away.]

[Ha Iljun: Okay!]

Viewers were even more confused.

– Uh?

– How are they all alone?

– Is it a benefit?

Even the subtitles caused confusion.

[How can these people be here……?]

– No, that’s what we want to ask haha

– Tell me!

The screen captured a brief glimpse of the three participants scouring the restaurant quickly and accurately.

And in a swish, the scene was rewinded.

[◄◄◄]

and click.

[AM 09: 30 Treasure Hunt Start]

The screen resumed as the participants ran out to find the treasure ball.

But this time, it showed the movement of Park Moondae.

[Going to the back door?]

Keun Sejin and Gold 1 unilaterally followed, but with a camera caught from a distance, it looked very natural.

And the three of them immediately started looking for the balls from behind without any participants.

– Hahahaha crazy

– That’s amazing

– Wow. He came up with that in such a short moment

– I think the idea is really good.

– Park Moondae’s personality is annoying, but let’s admit it. He is talented. That’s why it’s even more annoying

└ Hahahaha the correct answer

The three worked well together and when they heard the sound of other participants coming, they immediately shook off their hands and moved to another place.

The viewers admired it, and Park Moondae’s fans liked it even more.

– As expected, our Moon Puppy is smart

– Since all three are physical, they are progressing steadily.

– But Moondae found so many balls so why is it frozen food hahaha

‘That’s it.’

Park Moondae’s home master clicked the heart on the most recent post, and quickly concentrated on the broadcast again.

And she confirmed the scene.

The scene where Park Moondae, who collected the balls so beautifully, received only one bronze ball from Seon Ahyun and handed over all of his balls.
