《Debut or Die/ If I fail to debut I'll get a killer disease》[Debut or Die Chapter 018]

-Wow, I'm so nervous!

-I hope we can get a lot on the screen.

The voices of the nervous young men echoed in the auditorium near their bedrooms.

"They are in a good mood."

We were made to come to the auditorium at night dressed in our uniforms, then we were told to sit on cold iron chairs and we began to film ourselves.

Perhaps I was the only one who felt very uncomfortable, I had to control my expressions because there were cameras everywhere. I had to hold on.

Gold boys 1, 2 and Keun SeJin must be tired of chatting with each other, so they came to my place to tease me a bit.

-MoonDae hyung-nim, how do you feel about the airing of the 1st episode?

-Oh~ Are you ready to become a legend in the initial ranking evaluation?

-MoonDae-ssi is amazing!

-Stop already...

I don't know how to ignore that "I'll become a legend" nonsense...

I want to drink something cold.

"...Oh, yes there are some drinks."

Now that I look closely, there were bottles of ionized drinks under each seat. Seeing as the brand is clearly visible on camera, it looks like the PPL will eventually be used. That type of advertising was boring for me, but it gave good results.

I grabbed the bottle that was under my seat and drank it. And I almost spit.

-...

Now I understand why it was offered advertising only by PPL. It was a terribly unpleasant drink.

-The countdown has already begun! Start counting from 10!

When the staff notified us, the multimedia projector stopped projecting the Icorpo logo and replaced it with numbers.

-10! 9! 8!...

The countdown ended and the theme song melody "Shining Star" was heard along with cheers and applause from all sides. Thus began the broadcast of the long-awaited first episode.

* * *

The first episode was broadcast for 2 hours as if it was a special program. The contestants sat for 120 minutes without moving other than to react to the content shown, but I don't think they cared much about not being able to get up, because there was something that worried them much more.

"How long was it shown in the episode?"

There must be a lot of contestants who are disappointed by his short appearances throughout the episode.

How did it go for me?

Well, after the filming of our reactions was finished, I searched for comments and reaction reviews of the episode on the internet. I found all kinds of reactions on the Internet, from articles criticizing "Icorpo" to the best comments on the broadcast...

An article caught my attention.

Those who commented reacted in the same way as before, that is, the more they looked, the more they cursed.

No, you shouldn't watch those things, stop watching it because it's still going to fail Haha

I feel like I'm eating bad tasting popcorn

It's not very funny. show me the boys

Fortunately, the opening of the program passed in an instant and the first contestant appeared.

"Oh, it's Choi Won Gil."

Yes, the first thing that aired was Choi WonGil's group evaluation. Compared to the other trainees who accompanied him because he was from the same agency, WonGil appeared more time on screen because he was a typical maknae.

"I am sure that the first participant to appear in the evaluation was another."

The first contestant also appeared, but for too short a time.

"He will no longer appear in the rest of the episode."

So it was. The PD and editing team had selectively chosen the contestants who would show the most in the episode. Because of that, some participants didn't even get proper reaction cuts.

Interestingly, the members of my first team (from the team battle) did appear quite a bit throughout the chapter. Starting with Choi WonGil, the evaluation of Keun SeJin and the Gold boys 1 and 2 took place even before they reached the middle of the show.

That felt so good.

Before presenting the team battle, they had to present who would make the best team.

"Of course, the most important thing for me is to be featured as long as possible."

Since only a compilation of the top reviews was shown, I was hoping to be featured in this episode. I was lucky that it did come out.

My introduction aired at the end of the first half of the episode.

It was strange to see Park MoonDae come on stage. It felt like I was watching someone mimic what I did that day.

Behind me, Keun SeJin and the Gold boys hit me on the back, grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me. By doing that, they prevented me from getting the better of my emotions.

-Hey, hey, hey there you are! Do you see?

-...Uh, it's me.

If you shake me any more, I won't be able to see even though I have eyes, so stop.

I couldn't say that even if I wanted to, so I gave a moderate answer and returned my focus to the screen. They showed my conversation with the judges.

As soon as I finished my stage greeting, a portion of the interview that had been recorded for me was immediately inserted. It was a positive sign for me because it was proof that they had put a lot of effort into editing my recordings.

They played low-pitched background music for me and no laughter.

...Okay.

Let's see... This must have been the answer to the question if there was any dissatisfaction with the team members.

Why did they mention that?

This edit would make my favorable views go away in less than seven seconds.

"That's not good."

The judges' responses were seen as more exaggerated on the broadcast.

As soon as the answer was over, another interview cut appeared.

I think I dug my own grave.

I had replied that way to make it more concise, but I didn't think they would air it. At that time, the reactions on the internet were brutal.

His answer is not sincere.

Is he mimicking a concept or what?

If you are not motivated, why are you there?;

Surely he wanted to behave like a king or a clown because he is a good for nothing

Subtitles were shown on the screen as the judges whispered.

Cuts also flashed showing the stiff expressions of the participants who were tested earlier. I wonder where they got those cuts.

The next words of one of the judges had an image effect as if he was saying something sarcastic.

On the screen it was shown when I grabbed the microphone and the musical accompaniment began. And at the moment when the first verse would start...

They aired an advertisement. I had forgotten that all cable television channels always have their commercial segment.

-Oh God!

-Hyung, don't worry too much.

There were surprised and worried reactions around me.

-Are you okay?

"Even the guy who hasn't been introduced in the episode yet cares about me...?"

The atmosphere felt too strong and heavy for my liking, it must be because the cameras keep rolling.

Therefore, I replied calmly.

-I'm okay, at least I appeared in the episode that aired.

Of course it was shit. But it wasn't something that could change because that's how they edited and broadcast it.

Still... Inwardly, I smiled.

"I don't think that edition is going to kill me."

The fact that the ad was placed in the middle of the evaluation made me understand that the negative atmosphere could change. In other words, what will come out after the ad won't bother viewers.

The commercials ended and the broadcast resumed. At that time, the public's opinions of me had hit rock bottom.

I don't want to know what happened to him but they cut him off with the ads lol.

Oh... show the talented kids, not the ones who can't.

I don't accept trainees who are independent or found in the general public. I do not want to see it.

And the moment I started singing, the comments stopped for a few seconds.

Good work was shown in editing a few cuts from the judges who widened their eyes and the contestants who suddenly raised their heads to pay attention to me.

What the...?

?

What?

Why is it so good?

Hahahahahahaha wow you did well

Honestly, I felt embarrassed by the reactions on the internet.

"...I'm good."

Thanks to the editing, I was shown as a genius soloist who had performed on the show. Even the vague movements of my hands, which can't even be called choreography movements, were cut so well that they seemed to be very good.

It was a much more favorable edition than I expected.

"I guess they had fun trying to get the expectations of me down quite a bit, but drastically up when they saw my performance."

When I got to sing the highest notes, there was even a cut where Judge Mudi covered her mouth in shock.

"I don't think she reacted like that to my evaluation, did she?"

I don't know if they show those favorable cuts to offset the use of the others that were from my interview.

While I didn't know how to feel, viewers' opinions quickly changed on the internet.

Wow, it's very good

I want to get out of here, he really is...

Oh, the high notes from him are impressive...

I love his voice so much hahahahaha I'm embarrassed

It's been a long time since I've heard someone sing "Party in me" really well ㅠㅠ His name is Park MoonDae, right? I will buy shares for him

Even the production team and the judges had a short silence after I finished the song.

The close-up of the reactions of the other participants who were also silent turned into an unnecessarily dramatic scene.

The explosive reactions of the judges that quickly followed lit up everyone's faces, including the contestants. And when the choreographer spoke, the editors added big captions that stood out like words of wisdom.

If I had to mention a problem, it would be that my reaction to those words became very dull after seeing the edits they made to it. They probably did it on purpose.

It was enough to look at the comments on the internet to know.

Hahaha, I don't think I haven't practiced a lot

MoonDae, your answers lack energy

Where did the spirit with which she sang go?

The comments were mixed with jokes, the edit had a positive impact, and now the public stopped thinking that my reactions and responses were malicious.

Hmm. I think I already understood.

"So... Do you think I'm not a very emotional person?"

Although I was cursed a lot, it was not a bad start. No, it was pretty good.

As long as the team battle edition isn't crazier and more daring than this episode, I'll easily pass the second ranking thanks to this initial recognition.

"At this rate, I think my dance performance will be well received."

I was hoping that it would. Judge YoungRin had asked me to dance.

Before this request, the reactions on the internet were ambiguous.

I guess he can't dance

Wow, but they want him to dance

I think it's going to bore me ㅠㅠ

He must be ashamed

However, since I immediately asked to choose a song and the young staff member who heard me showed surprise, the comments started to get excited again.

What?

What? What was he asking for?

Why is the young man from the staff surprised? Hahaha

I can't imagine what the hell it is

And when the incredibly upbeat song "POP ☆ CON" came on, both the editing and the comments went wild.

The atmosphere turned chaotic as the subtitles filled with exclamation points. Also included was the cut of the judge who almost spit out the water he was drinking at the very moment I started to dance "POP ☆ CON" with a serious expression.

-...

-Hahahahahaha!!

The participants burst out laughing around me and I... was very embarrassed.

"No, I was just...trying to make it look like I was trying really hard to dance to an easy song."

I looked like a crazy person who is serious about popcorn.

I was very worried and didn't know if I could trust the comments on the internet, but I had to check their reactions after all.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

What happens? He's so cute lololol

When he shows up, he takes it seriously

He's trying so hard lol

"Did I have a... good reaction?"

Their reactions were much better than when I sang.

Oh my God.
