《Debut or Die/ If I fail to debut I'll get a killer disease》[Debut or Die Chapter 023]
Advertisement
The meeting we had to agree on the arrangement was led by Keun SeJin, well I got a decent chunk of command too.
Judging from the interview with Gold 1 and 2, it seemed that the editing team was also thinking of boosting Keun SeJin's leading position.
-Oh thank you guys so much~
-If you are grateful, talk about me in the next interview.
-Talk about me too!
-Ah, of course I will~
There was another participant in the living room who was watching the TV with a gaze that contrasted with SeJin's, who seemed relaxed.
It was Choi Won Gil.
-...
Although he had attended the meeting, he hardly spoke at all and now had a long face.
How would the editing team edit Choi WonGil's argument against me?
In my opinion, it would be nice if they showed it on the screen so that he doesn't pick a fight with me again. Actually, I didn't care at all.
But again, editing took an unexpected direction. They edited the fight with WonGil.
Well, the editors cut the part where SeJin refuted him, but they showed when I raised his head and looked at him seriously.
And immediately ended the story about the arrangement.
"I think they didn't want to convey the whole story of Choi WonGil."
To preserve the dramatic flow of the arrangement, the ambiguous dispute we had became something that never happened.
"Come to think of it, they changed the order of events again."
WonGil seemed relieved, but well, I don't know if he should still feel safe. In the end, he did not get a good focus from the cameras. Unfortunately, he was also not included in the interview cuts because he often just complained about the musical arrangement or the sharing of parts of the song.
Maybe that was good, the important thing is my editing.
Meanwhile, the Park MoonDae that I saw on TV smiled.
Then, the editors showed the surprised faces of each of the boys.
"...Don't you think that's too much of an exaggeration already?"
They edited it in such a way that it seemed as if I had a strange idea.
There were even more interview cuts.
Child actor Lee Sejin's words sounded somewhat bitter. But more than that, I couldn't believe that even he had said something about me in the interview.
Thanks to this, the living room was filled with jokes and jeers, attacking each other for their cheesy interviews. Lee Sejin was silent, looking at the TV. But when Keun SeJin's interview came out, it all turned to laughter.
NT: Tibetan foxes exist, yes they are foxes, known as memes because their expressions are always very serious. In the comments I'll attach the photo so you understand.
To demonstrate Keun SeJin's prank, the editing team included situations for everyone to see my reaction.
Seon AhHyun's first evaluation:
The cameras focused on the contestants who were very sorry for AhHyun's situation, but then they showed my face at that moment.
-...
From what I see, I am calm. But the subtitles appeared.
-Oh! It's true!!
-You really look like this! Hahahahahahaha!!
When the coach harshly criticized us:
And among the team members who bowed their heads and bit their lips nervously, I could see that I was the only one who kept a calm face.

It's true.
No matter what kind of situation I am in, while others are excited or agitated, I keep the same expression.
-Hahaha!!
-Your face! It's so funny!
-...
I finally realized the reason for my failure.
Among all the participants who showed strong reactions, I was the only one who seemed calm... no, I didn't seem calm, it seemed that I had some problem on my mind and that's why the audience initially believed that I was indifferent and judged them.
"I never meant to offend the editing team."
I thought as I tried to stop the smiling SeJin, who was apologizing for saying that joke about me, from patting me on the back.
The editors smoothly showed the musical arrangement process without giving a little spoiler about what it would sound like.
I don't know why I said "fighting" so halfheartedly.
Then they showed our final presentation. The boys, who had been chatting, fell silent and concentrated on watching our performance.
It was unfamiliar to see my face with stage makeup. I can't believe that I am the same guy shown on TV.
Soon, a somber prelude flowed alongside the choreography and the performance began. As soon as we started, the editors showed the surprised faces of the other participants from other teams. They were shocked.
It was lucky that it didn't feel like parts of our presentation had been cut out, the editors went to great lengths to make it all flow naturally.
"Hmm."
Our presentation definitely went very well.
In particular, Seon AhHyun demonstrated his dance mastery as if he were a fish swimming freely in the water. His dancing was so amazing that he looked like he had taken away the title of Main Dancer from Keun SeJin.
"I think AhHyun's ranking will increase quite a bit."
The next best thing to see was Keun SeJin, he was also very cool; the others were also very good because we had learned our parts very well. Surprisingly, little Lee Sejin didn't look uncomfortable and made some very good facial expressions.
When Choi WonGil positioned himself at the center of the stage and performed the chorus, it felt like the cut was distributed between him and Seon AhHyun due to his beautiful choreography, so WonGil couldn't draw as much attention.
As for me... Fortunately I did very well at the bridge.
When I sang that prayer, three shots of surprised faces were immediately superimposed.
"...Were you surprised because just that part of the song sounds like I'm asking you directly?"
I was grateful, but at the same time, I felt insecure because I didn't know if they edited it that way with good or bad intentions.
"They could say I'm talented, but they could also say I'm insensitive."
When I doubted the editors, a cut of a brief dialogue that the judges had was just included.
I didn't think they would tell that part of the process of our adaptation right then. In addition, the trainer told it in such a positive way that it seemed that exchanging my part with WonGil's had been the best decision.
Well, it certainly was.
And the editors added another interview cut.
Thank you very much. Due to the coach's comments, my image of "he's a cold-hearted bad boy" changed to "he's a cold-hearted good boy". If I get to debut and avoid death, I'll give her a Boeun brand Red Ginseng luxury cosmetic set.

Our presentation ended with the enthusiastic audience asking for an encore.
And the happy group hug we had was also included in the broadcast.
-We were amazing.
-I really enjoyed seeing our presentation.
-Now we will be well known.
The applause and the satisfied conversations of the boys resounded in the room, there was a good atmosphere of harmony.
Perhaps there are other contestants who are envying us at this very moment.
For example, Ryu CheongWoo's team, who showed up after us... They had such a tense problem that it made us silent.
The final touch of his difficult and troublesome situation was what Cheongwoo said in his interview.
"Wow, he put it so well."
I didn't think his situation would reach that point, it made me feel bad to see him like this.
Since the guys in my team were watching and talking softly about him, I chatted too.
-Ugh, what's up with those guys?
-CheongWoo hyung had a really bad time, but...
In short, the editing team showed the good image of Ryu CheongWoo, who even though his team members were not very skilled and dissatisfied, he helped them and endured all the difficulties in order to perform.
-CheongWoo has a good personality... Ah, looking at it, he looks like a saint.
What Gold 1 said explained precisely the image that the editors wanted to show.
In the end, the program included our victory against CheongWoo's team.
It was a very good cut. Regarding the individual voting, the editors chose some strange cuts where they practically asked the public to individually support Ryu CheongWoo.
[
It's great that my team never mentioned anything about individual voting.
In the end, it was a complete victory for us, both that day we showed up, and now, that we saw each other on television. When the episode ended, we all collapsed on the couch or the floor.
-Wow... that was fast.
-I thought I was going to die of nerves!
-I-I was scared.
Even AhHyun talked about it.
We all felt very exhausted from so much tension and fear of how they would show us in the 3rd episode.
Keun SeJin, who was lying next to me on the sofa, spoke to us.
-Hey guys, I know it's weird that I'm saying it again now, but... you really tried hard. Everyone looked great in the episode!
-Keun SeJin, you did a great job~
-I am very glad that we have gone very well.
Then, Gold 2 said something to us with his eyes flashing with anticipation.
-Now we will receive some very good reactions, right?
And as if he had made a wish, it came true.
* * *
On WeTube it was possible to verify the shocking reaction that the public had. The performance video of "Aktober 31," the team Park MoonDae belonged to, ranked ninth in the ranking of the most popular videos in real time.
And the comments were no joke.
From arranging to stage domination, they showed up and blew it all away
It was a humble song, almost forgotten, but they turned it into such a beautiful performance;
Everyone will love this presentation.
What? vampires? Wait, let me drive the ambulance full of blood donations.
I'll tell you the names in order of the time they appear in focus! 0:12 Seon AhHyun, 0:21 Lee SeJin (B)... (See more)
Actober 31, debut now ㅠㅠ
When they showed the preparation before their performance, they all looked so kind and gentle, they're so cuteㅠㅠ Is it true about the parts swapping that was mentioned while performing?
Immediately after the broadcast of the 3rd episode ended, similar recommendation or review posts emerged on social networks and websites, which became so popular that they reached more than 10,000 shares.
After seeing this presentation, Icorpo's viewers increased.
I saw the interpretation of a vampire concept. Is it from the new season of Icorpo?
I thought it would be a disaster. What's going on?
I've never liked idols before, but... How do I vote for them? TT TT
For that reason, different comments could be seen that supported the idea of debuting the members of that team.
I wish they could debut right now!
We'll have to take turns voting for them ㅠㅠ Ah, why can't they debut already?!
They also received support from some K-POP music video reaction channels. There was a channel that uploaded a video comparing the original presentation of Soft & Sweet and the arranged reinterpretation of Aktober 31.
The video was re-uploaded to the Tnet channel with English subtitles and had many reactions from people abroad, steadily increasing the influx of viewers both nationally and internationally.
These days, the frequency of mentions of team members on websites and social networks has also increased overwhelmingly. Many changes in public opinion could be perceived.
The final touch came when Soft & Sweet posted a video of them reacting to Aktober 31's performance on WeTube.
The members of Soft & Sweet, who after their heyday ended their contracts and continued their lives as social media celebrities, except for one member who was successful as an actress, were still united by their friendship and because of that, two of them opened their own WeTube channel.
Obviously they couldn't miss the hot video that had a certain relationship with them. So, except for the young woman who was busy with her acting schedule, they got together to record their reaction to their song cover to upload on their channel. wow~
The reaction began with exclamations of admiration, followed by an appreciation for the details. It also led to praise for the participants.
And of course, they were all surprised at the moment of the bridge.
And in the end, they ended up shedding tears.
The girls, crying and fanning themselves with their hands to catch their breath, gradually calmed down and spoke.
After debuting the concept of "purity and mysticism" of flower fairies, Soft & Sweet became popular with the concept of "absurd fun".
At that time, there was something that made them famous.
And on the first day they performed "POP ☆ CON," they each wore a hairpin in the same color as the flowers they wore in their debut song. There was a person who compared the photos of both presentations and wrote an article.
The song "POP ☆ CON" went viral thanks to the comparison mentioned in said article. That left them with more good than bad memories, because that's how they managed to be popular. But that didn't mean they weren't having a bad time.
But there was no one who was not harmed by the subtle teasing they sent them.
