As Park Moon-dae predicted, everyone, from viewers to audiences, fell into a crucible of confusion as a result of the new concept of "6.47 on average.

Some of the audience members were even posting on their social media with their smartphones up.

People booed and the atmosphere suddenly got cold.

- You're really amazing until the end

- Where did you get that crazy idea of getting an average?

- Let's just keep it simple. 5 people or 6.47 people

-Why did you throw away 0.47 staff members? Let's accept the 7th place as a guest member

└LOL, This is it

But after the chaos, the response was surprisingly not blindly negative.

This is because I felt that the production team had tried hard and became somewhat solemn.

I'm glad they didn't fabricate it.

I'm sure the production team wanted to do it with 9 members.

-You're being conscientious in a strange place... They're the ones who drag and don't manipulate...

HJ: If we have to choose from 5 or 6, then it's 6 of us

People managed to come to terms with the situation. Of course, there were still a lot of people who cried out that the number of people was too small.

- You just had to block one person from voting in the first place, you crazy people

And by that time, a new VCR began to come out as if it had been timed.

[Hello?]

[Yeah!]

It was a video of participants in pastel linen costumes waving and laughing at the camera.

They were walking among the dark structures. Light gleamed between the structures.

In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene and the Internet subsided.

What is it?

When did you take it?

What video is it?

Participants grabbed the camera and took turns to say how they felt about the last broadcast. And ran to somewhere.

[Thank you for always supporting us!]

[I love you~]

Because it looked like a typical moving VCR, viewers responded with a ceremonial response. Audiences who were watching the VCR also cheered whenever cheering participants came out.

And the last participant left was Park Moon-dae.

Park Moon-dae looked at the camera awkwardly and just smiled.

[Thank you. I'll make sure to debut]]

It was uncharacteristically certain.

Park Moon-dae ran out of the camera screen and disappeared, leaving a brief comment.

Naturally, comments flooded in communities with many fans of Park Moon-dae.

- ㅠㅠ Oh, my doorstep...

SW: "I have to debut at MOONDAYOUNGJAE

- Invest in a ready-made doorstep with both mental and skills… If you call today, you can invest 100 won for 5 years…

- Does it mean that everything he does on his pad lips?

- ㅇO. It's him

- 히Sir, I didn't write anything down

- 가정He's a man of all trades, except for his family history Try just one bite

- ㅋLOL Actually, I already voted. You're so good

오Oh, thank you

In order to attract even one more vote, fans continued to hold back their anger at every reaction to the family history.

In the meantime, all the participants disappeared, and on the empty black screen, the acoustic version of "Barona" in the background grew faintly.

The viewers were overcome with strange lingering emotions.

- It really feels like the end

- The ending vibe is really good

- I think it's because of the BGM

- Can't all 20 of them debut? ㅠㅠ

- Isn't it worth doing if there are 20 people? Production team, please vote for the number of debut members

And the angle of the image turned.

It was the direction in which the participants ran.

Following the rotating camera, participants were seen climbing up the left.

-?!

- Oh my god

- No way

In no time, the broadcasting screen has been switched to the concert hall. Participants were seen coming up to the stage. What looked like a video was actually a real-time transmission.

-Oh...

-ㅠㅠ

Then the participants picked up the microphone and started singing.

The acoustic version of "It's Me".

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

- No, guys, don't go

- Please do that forever

- 저Are you cursing me? But do it like that. I mean it

- 탈락Let's just be on stage every week ㅠㅠ Don't be eliminated ㅠㅠ

- How can I spend my time with everyone?

Participants smiled and sang their parts with sincerity. However, even before the first verse passed, a series of whimpering participants began to appear.

Of course, Park Moon-dae calmly performed his part well. The ad-libs in the second half of the second verse were also neat and well wrapped in the ears.

- You're really good at singing

- You guys were going crazy for a reason

- It's not too late to be a fan now, right?

└ 안It's not that you're not late. You're the winner I won't use up my emotions. I'll catch you on the last show and just suck on your debut honey

- I decided to dig Park Moon Dae, and now I like his face, too

There were some exceptions, but anyway, the stage made even the audience whimper because of the participants who fell into the sorrowful arrangement.

The ending ended with a close-up of Lee Se-jin's white face shedding tears.

- He's handsome

- 13I think today is the best episode out of episode 13

-A certain actor's image

- You did a great job crying

- I hope everyone does well...

The participants who came down from the stage were floundering without getting out of the lingering emotions.

As the stylists, who were catching the makeup of the sniffling participants, were getting annoyed, they heard the introduction of the MC new VCR above.

"Oh, is that it?"

Park Moon-dae guessed the contents of the video without much impression. It is a family content that is never left out in the last episode of the audition.

Of course, Park Moon-dae had no family, so he just crushed it and moved on.

"You must have just put in a lot of crying."’

He remembered for a moment that Kim Raebin cried so much that his eyes were swollen that they did not look like 300 eyes when he saw his grandmother's video letter.

Actually, most of the participants cried, so I think it would have been very easy to pick a cut.

For your information, Park Moon-dae calmly caught a few scenes of the participants' backs and clapping cuts. I never dreamed that it made people care.

"…it's all over now.”

“……?”

A random person spoke to Park Moon-dae.

"What is it?"

It was Lee Se-jin, a former child actor.

"Well… the program will be over soon."

"You're going to debut, so it won't end. Does that mean?"”

"Why is he picking a fight all of a sudden?’

It was a thoughtful timing, so Park Moon-dae just ignored what he said without answering back.

"…that would be nice."

Lee Sehin just murmured like that, then went to the corner and got depressed.

“…….”

Park Moon-dae decided not to react. If there was someone who could care about others just before the final ranking announcement, it was a pushover.

Participants, who encouraged each other at the beginning of the live broadcast, hardened with extreme tension after the sensibility of the last stage.

It was just that timing that the staff called them again.

"District B, move! Let's go!"

The participants stampede with stiff expressions.

A long, final ranking ceremony awaited them.

* *

My shoulders ached from fatigue.

"It would have been so good if it didn't reduce fatigue."’

It was hard to turn my head or change my posture. It was quite a pressure that thousands of people were staring down here.

‘It's closer than when we're on stage.’

The audience was closer than the closest team stage. Even if I rolled my eyes a little, I could make eye contact with the audience under the stage.

Just below, the slogan was swaying, too.

What was written in serious style was very grim.

'I think we should at least wave.’

But it couldn't be done in this tense atmosphere.

"Who will be the contestant who will take the 6th seat of honor…"….”

This is because he has been blocking the progress for 15 minutes with several lines, including MC Jeo. It was great that 20 minutes have passed since it was uploaded, and no one was announced.

'It was understandable when I saw the votes.’

I heard that text voting exceeded 1 million, so it was not strange that it was still being counted.

The MC received the production team's autograph after about three minutes.

I could feel the participants' bodies stiffening around me.

"He is a participant who has received attention for his overflowing leadership and outstanding skills."

The electronic display showed the faces of the corresponding participants in a mess.

Why am I here?’

I know Ryu Chung-woo and Big Sejin.

I tried not to look ridiculous.

However, unlike the other two, some people laughed from below when my face was caught.

"Congratulations, Lee Sejin... B!"

Keun Sejin opened his eyes wide, and when B was attached, he burst into laughter and bent down.

"Ha ha..."

Numerous handshakes and congratulations from participants poured out to Keun Sejin.

I gave a light high five with Keun Sejin coming out after receiving all the congratulations.

"Oh… Thank you very, very much. I tried to get rid of my expectations.”

With a heated face, Keun Se-jin said how she felt about her debut group, showed something like aegyo to her fans, and went up to the podium.

"You really debuted."’

I thought it would be because it was on the rise.

"It's much better than someone you don't know."

I waited eagerly for the next ranking announcement.

…and after a long wait of more than 15 minutes of patience, the next ranking was announced.

"Fifth place is...!..…Ryu Chung-woo!"

This is a completely anticipated appointment

On the contrary, I thought the ranking seemed to have fallen a little, but I showed tears for the first time in the program as if I didn't really expect it.

"A decent person is good."’

I applauded heartily this time, too.

Next, 4th place.

"Kim Raebin participant! Congratulations!"

Kim Raebin was nervous and staggered off to the podium without being properly congratulated. And he expressed his feelings just by pronouncing clearly.

…but to be honest, it sounded more like a presentation than a speech. This is because he recited what he was good at and what he was supplementing.

"…so my recent development is vocals. I'll be more concerned with my communication skills so that I can play a role as a member of the group in any situation in a more complete manner."

Only the last two sentences seemed like feelings.

"…Thank you again to the shareholders for investing in me. And grandmother and grandfather. I love you."

And he bravely took his mouth off the microphone.

"... Shouldn't you say you love the fans?"

Kim Raebin looked at the MC with an expression of surprise as he realized it only after returning the microphone, but the ship has already left.

'… But he's useful.’

I was moderately convinced.

The next announcement is third place.

Isn't it time to be called, I had hope, but... That didn't happen.

"Third place is... Seon Ahyun! Congratulations!"

Seon Ahyun's face appeared on the long electronic display between Cha Yujin and Seon Ahyun.

Seon Ahyun's face, which had turned white, quickly became heated.

"Thank you....”

Seon Ahyun was congratulated unexpectedly without crying. Thanks to you, I didn't mean to hug you, but I followed other guys.

"Well, I'm, I'm not good enough. The shareholders who trusted me and supported me... to my friends, really, go... thank you. More, more... I'll be a person you'll be proud of. Thank you."

Seon Ahyun cried a lot as he returned her microphone and went up. It felt strange to see a guy who couldn't make his debut in the future eventually get in.

Hmm… I think it's more of a good side.

"Seon Ahyun is a good guy."’

So what's left is...….

"The , which is getting hotter and hotter! The last ranking announcement for "Idol Co., Ltd. We're about to announce the long-awaited No. 1 announcement!"

‘This is what it's up.’

I held back a sigh.
