[This participant is a participant who has received attention for his outstanding dance skills.]

‘7th place isn’t Moondae either!’

She clasped her hands tightly and screamed thousands of times internally.

In the meantime, voting… No, the reward of persistently posting videos and articles on social media asking people to buy his stock came flooding in.

And after 6th place, the 5th place.

[This participant… He drew quite the attention for his brilliant ideas and unique talents, didn’t he?]

Finally, the MC called Park Moondae.

[5th ​​place, Participant Park Moondae!]

The camera caught Park Moondae standing up from his seat.

‘Crazycrazy, you crazy…… ’

She couldn’t resist her overflowing scream and wrote a post on social media.

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

[Crazy Moondae is 5th place, Ah Moondae ㅠㅠ I really knew you would do well, because you are our Moondae-dong ㅠㅠ Thank you for being an idol, really ㅠㅠ]

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

And she deleted it without posting it.

The reason that prevented her from sending it out was that her SNS, which had already become a well known account, should not be used for frivolous elements.

Park Moondae, who went up to the podium, bowed his head once as his golden-brown hair fluttered along it, and then began to speak.

[I think this is an excessive rank. I will show you how I progress so as to not go against the shareholders expectations. Please take a good care of me]

He then bowed his head.

It was a standard testimonial, but perhaps because of the choice of words, it reminded people of a corporate fair rather than an idol.

When words like ‘Are you Moon Puppy’ appeared on social media, the MC asked a pre-prepared question.

[You got a lot of attention from your PR with chicken feet, what kind of mukbang would you like to do again if you were to debut?]

[Hmmm… Steamed tripe?]

The MC burst into laughter at the unusually accurate product name.

[Is there a reason?]

[It was the most delicious after chicken feet.]

At Park Moondae’s calm reply, laughter erupted from everywhere.

The MC wrapped it up in a humorous way.

[Ah, this time also, a PPL-related product! He is a participant who really cares about the Idol Joint-Stock Company. ~ And he gains 5th place like this! Participant Park Moondae.]

[Thank you.]

Park Moondae just smiled faintly and bowed his head once again as a farewell.

He then went up to the position that matched his rank.

It was moderately sensible, and it was an editing of impressions that did not leave any room for controversy.

As she watched, she sighed in relief.

She was worried because there was always some editing that gave a strange feeling about Park Moondae.

‘I guess they are giving it to other participants.’

Sure enough, Kim Raebin, who was announced for fourth place, received an awkward edit.

He had a conflict with the 7th place participant in a team fight, which seemed to be the aftermath.

Anyway, she watched the rest of the presentation with more ease.

In fact, it didn’t matter who it was.

‘If it’s possible, I want Seon Ahyun to be saved also. Oh, and I wish Cha Yujin would fail a little.’

She was so angry about Cha Yujin’s fans calling Park Moondae names and posting bullshit about him on SNS that she wanted to sue.

However, 〈Idol Joint-Stock Company〉 usually prefers participants who leave the agency, so it has traditionally been difficult to silence public opinion through accusations from the agency.

‘They even used Moondae who is an ordinary person…… ’

She was just worried that he might have been hurt while searching.

‘Once he debuts, I will have to send PDFs to the agency as soon as possible.’

With firm determination she went back to watching the broadcast.

Seon Ahyun was third.

“T-T… Thank you. Uuu,”

Seon Ahyun cried profusely as he said his thanks.

The reaction cuts of several team members of October 31 who had tears in their eyes were put in along with a moving BGM.

“I-I could d-do it.… I-I didn’t think like that. I-It’s… Thanks to the team members. That, and those who v-voted… Thank you so much for doing it.”

The MC mouthed, ‘It’s not vote, it’s stocks!’

However, the cross-editing of Seon Ahyun, who could not see it because he was too hectic, brought a small smile to the viewers.

Seon Ahyun sniffled and went to his seat, and in the process, the warm interaction of the October 31 team members, including Park Moondae, was briefly highlighted.

It was proof that the producers were aware of the hot reaction on the Internet.

After that, as expected by everyone, Cha Yujin and Ryu Chungwoo were nominated for 1st and 2nd places, and after the competition, Cha Yujin was announced as 1st place.

“Really good!”

‘Ryu Chungwoo would have been better!’

Cha Yujin, who gave a bright and cheerful acceptance speech, felt a little sarcastic.

But that didn’t mean she was stupid enough to post malicious comments, so she decided to just be happy that Park Moondae was 5th place.

A participant who received little attention was announced as 49th, and the ranking announcement ceremony ended in a brisk manner.

After a while, a heartwarming scene of the October 31 members gathering and teasing Seon Ahyun as they laughed showed up.

‘It’s a shame.’

There wasn’t enough content for fans like her. She wanted to see more.

Next time, she hopes to be able to go take pictures of him on her way to work, and she wished for Park Moondae’s protection.

After the ranking announcement ceremony was over, filming for the next team match continued.

‘Won’t either Keun Sejin or Seon Ahyun be on the same team again?’

As she made a series of speculations, she longed deeply in her heart.

‘Whoever it is, I hope Moondae can make a wonderful stage at ease!’

***

I felt like something would break.

What kind of a situation was this?

“Ah! He has named the participant Park Moondae!”

The excited voice of the MC and the surprised exclamations of the participants resounded everywhere.

“Oh my!”

“Moondae-hyung?”

Even though the size was reduced from 77 to 49, it was still a size that made my ear ache.

Are they surprised? I was surprised too.

Why did he name me?

“And with that, Participant Park Moondae… Will be joining Kim Raebin’s team.”

It was an expected routine for us to start filming for the second team fight right after the ranking announcement ceremony.

-This team… will be decided by lots!

-The 7 participants I choose will become the leaders, and they will select their team members by taking a quiz!

I thought this rule would come out at least once.

But I didn’t think he would choose me.

Kim Raebin.

A participant from the same agency as Cha Yujin, currently in 4th place. As far as I know he goes to the finals in 2nd place.

By the way, we never even said hello to each other.

“Then Participant Park Moondae, please go!”

I trudged and stood next to Kim Raebin.

‘I can’t ask why he chose me out of everyone.’

If I did, I didn’t know how it would be edited. First, let’s nod our heads as if we’ve met a business partner.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Yes. I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

Fortunately, he gave a good greeting without a harsh impression.

‘I guess he didn’t have bad intentions.’

I guess I had some prejudice because he gave the image of a handsome bully that the teenagers seem to prefer these days.

‘Then, did he really choose Park Moondae because he seemed useful?’

Kim Raebin was a participant who focused on rapping, so there was nothing strange if he didn’t check the main vocal part.

In the first place, If I was chosen by a low ranking participant I would have guessed I was chosen as the main vocalist.

But obviously… In Kim Raebin’s former team, there was a participant who was originally going to debut in the main vocal position.

Yet he skipped him?

‘Ah, the last team member is uncomfortable.’

Thinking about it, I figured it was better to skip them.

That’s because Kim Raebin’s former team had their atmosphere ruined because of the individual voting rewards.

Well. I remember the last broadcast.

– Didn’t you give me this part on purpose?

– No. It’s so everyone can perform their best on the stage……

– So you thought I could only do this

It didn’t appear on the show, but after the individual voting reward was announced, I heard that there was a guy who grabbed him by the collar.

‘The brutality was used very well on the broadcast.’

Thanks to this, Cha Yujin was the only one who survived the broadcast with good editing.

The team’s main vocal didn’t have a lot of volume, but it’s not strange to say that they seperated each other because it felt uncomfortable.

And out of the remaining vocals, it made sense for him to choose Park Moondae, the most verified vocalist.

‘But it’s a bit strange that I was the first one he chose.’

It’s not something to worry about right now.

I quickly organized my thoughts and grasped the situation.

“Next quiz~ Five words that start with ‘Park’!”

“Museum, Applause, Bat, Park Hyeokgeose, Park Goji.”*

(T/N: In order – 박물관 (Parkmulgwan), 박수(Parksu), 박쥐(Parkjwi), 박혁거세 (Park Hyeokgeose), 박고지 (Park Goji), the Park in the first 3 can be said as Pak/Bag)

Kim Raebin immediately raised his hand and got the right answer. His momentum was resolute.

“Wow! Participant Kim Raebin got all the right answers in a row”

“Ahhh!”

“Isn’t this too advantageous for rappers?”

With the rich reactions of the participants who grasped the broadcast system, Kim Raebin immediately pointed to the next participant.

“Cha Yujin… I will pick this participant.”

Even if he was from his previous team, he was in first place. I would have done the same.

It was surprisingly clever.

Looking at the last team fight, it seemed that he was more social than Lee Sejin, but was that just the power of rumors and editing?

However, I don’t know what effect it will have on me if we formed a team like this.

‘I think it will be very different from the first one.’

“Good choice!”

“Yes.”

As soon as he was pointed out, Cha Yujin ran quickly and pretended to know Kim Raebin.

And then he gave me a thumbs up.

“We are together!”

“Yes… That’s right.”

“Because you’re good on stage!”

“Yes. I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

I don’t know how long I had to talk like this. It’s awkward.

The funny thing is that I think I was the only one who thought it was awkward. Cha Yujin was nodding his head at the context that only he knew.

I could already predict how our communication in the future would go.

In the meantime, Kim Raebin was recruiting his teammates without hesitation. The batting average was pretty good, so the team quickly filled up.

“Participant Ryu Chungwoo.”

“Participant Min Jeonghoon.”

And I was starting to feel a little uncomfortable.

The lineup was too good. The meaning of ‘good’ here was that everyone had high ranks.

All team members were in the top 15. It was already confusing to try and imagine what kind of editing would come out.

‘I guess this is where the saying only heavens know applies*?’

(Honestly I have no idea what this sentence was so this is like 99% wrong translation)

Even then I was the only one who got a little weird in the picture.

This is because Choi Wongil was among the first 7 people to choose participants for a team.

“Seon Ahyun-hyung!”

“Keun Sejin, ah, Lee Sejin hyung!”

Starting with Seon Ahyun, Choi Wongil almost got back all of his team members from the first team match.

Of course, I was excluded. Kim Raebin chose me first so there was no choice.

‘Well I don’t think he would have picked me even if there was room.’

However there was one more former October 31 member that Kim Raebin chose first.

“Lee Sejin, former child actor Lee Sejin A, joins Kim Raebin’s team~”

Lee Sejin walked towards this side with a bad complexion.

The bomb that did not explode thanks to the crazy social life of Keun Sejin, Gold 1 and Gold 2 joined Kim Raebin’s team.

Why did he pick Lee Sejin?

Was it because he had the highest rank among the remaining people?

When I turned my head to look at the people who had not been chosen yet I saw Choi Wongil’s team.

“Moondae~”

When our eyes met, Keun Sejin, Gold 1 and Gold 2 called out to me with a sad look as if they were doing a skit.

And Seon Ahyun who looked embarrassed restlessly waved his hand.

This… What was this ominous feeling that felt l was on the wrong line.

I had chills down my spine. I think this was the moment when I needed help from the supernatural.

“Status window.”

Kim Raebin^
