The personality type questions and answers displayed on the tablet were mainly like this. The questions explained a situation and the test taker chooses an action as an answer. Of course, the situations were all specific to idols.

Let's ignore the indirect advertisement of the concert that they explicitly put in.

If you roughly summarize the question... They are asking whether you would drop whatever you were doing right before the deadline and carry out the new idea.

'Of course, I wouldn't.'

Do you think this is some kind of school assignment?If we had a week left, everything from the stage set to the costumes would have to be almost completely changed just because you wanted to execute the new idea.

'In the first place, if you want to have time to redo it... I think it would take more than five years.'

Meaning that this situation would be impossible.

No matter how desperately i would try to push for it, this was not passion, it was arrogance.

I chose this answer after pretending to think hard about the answer. And at the same time I talked to the camera so that they wouldn't edit it out.

"If I were doing it alone, I would want to give it a try... But the stage is a comprehensive art, so I think I should also consider the situation. I would keep the idea in my mind and use it next time."

I think it would be difficult to count on this kind of person.

I moved on to the next question.

Of course, I should rest my body. Why would you trust me to go to an award ceremony?

However, no matter how much I look at it, I think the option to go to the award ceremony with willpower and hard work would be seen more positively.

'This sounds like it.'

I chose the neutral answer, holding back my twitching eyebrows.

"It would be better to go in person, but the aftermath of a car accident may not be immediately apparent. I think there will not be disruption to my activities after my physical condition is definitely checked through a check-up."

I ambiguously gave an additional explanation.

'Don't tell me all the question are like this?'

Yeah. They were all like that.

All the ten questions and answers assumed these kinds of ridiculous situations.

Only the production team would know how these have to do with the Kpop concept.

I sighed and answered the rest of the questions.

After answering the 9th question that was related to an advertisement (which sneakily referred to its products), the last question appeared.

It's finally the last one. I quickly looked through question 10.

They put this question here?

As soon as I realized that I was tricked, the window on the tablet screen changed and the number on the screen started counting down from three.

'What kind of jerk only gives three seconds of countdown?'

I felt strongly that I should choose to react like I was surprised.

In an instant, the numbers disappeared and without any other thoughts, a phrase quickly popped up on the screen.

Right at that moment, the door swung open without any warning.

"Hello?"

A familiar face stood outside the door.

Wait, let me correct myself. The person was familiar to me only one-sidedly.

This was because... I've taken many pictures of them.

"Nice to meet you."

A member of VTIC opened the door with a smile and stepped in.

It was the appearance of an unimaginably big celebrity.

I reflexively bow my head to greet him. If I greeted him a little late, the internet would start criticizing me.

"Ah, I've been enjoying the show."

"Thank you."

The member of VTIC reached out his hand for a handshake and I shook his hand as if I had met the president of some company.

A cold sweat ran down my back.

'How the hell did they cast him?'

Even if was succesful, how did VTIC's agency have him appear for them if he didn't have a stake in the company's investment? Is VTIC hosting an exclusive reality show on Tnet? Did they come here to promote it?

'...No, that doesn't matter.'

The important thing is to be careful with my words. I don't know what would start circling around the social media if I made a mistake.

After confirming that the VTIC member had sit down first, I sat down again and calmly observed the other person.

'Was he the leader?'

I remembered their names and popularity scales, but couldn't remember much about each members positions.

First of all, I only remembered that the popularity of each individual members were good within their group and that the demand for fancams was high because they danced well.

His stage name was Chung-ryeo.

"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Chung-ryeo and I'm the leader of VTIC."

I think his real name was different but obviously I wouldn't know about that.

Anyway, he didn't seem to think that 'Park Moon-dae' wouldn't know him. I introduced myself once for the TV.

"My name is Park Moon-dae. I look forward to your kind cooperation."

I don't know what kind of 'kind cooperation' I'm asking for after saying that, but since it's the first time, I greeted him politely.

'Should I have acted more surprised and made more of a fuss?'

I was so flustered, I forgot to react.

"Even though I saw it on TV, but you are very calm."

"I was so surprised that I froze."

"Haha, is that so?"

Does that mean he doesn't believe me?

Chung-ryeo laughed just enough to lighten the mood, and went straight to point.

"The reason I came to meet Park Moon-dae participant today is... to deliver a casting call from LeTi, our VTIC's agency."

I expected that statement from him.

But I couldn't help but wonder 'Is the production crew crazy?'

With the current prestige of the name LeTi, could someone escape from that offer even if their rank is in single digits?

Of course, there is no guarantee that you will be able to debut as the next male idol even if you go there. There would be more than one or two trainees already signed with the agency.

However, the current status of VTIC was so high that it was perfect for someone around the age of 20 go there, since even the VTIC member himself came here.

'Even those who already have an agency would close their eyes and sign it.'

Chung-ryeo kept saying lines that seemed to be prepared before hand.

"Of course, this is not an offer to all participants. Do you remember the test you answered earlier?"

"Yes... ."

"In the 9 situational of questions and answers, Park Moon-dae is the participant with the highest response rate with our VTIC members."

Chung-ryeo lightly tapped his hands.

"I can say that you share a similar image and talent with our LeTi artists."

"...Thank you."

Then this meant that people from different agencies entered different rooms and were conducting casting calls.

'This would make it easy to make the preview for the episode.'

Seeing that VTIC came out, viewers would not have enjoyed as much if they would have only collected all the famous agencies that are close to Tnet.

"First of all, I'll tell you the benefits of choosing the LeTi agency."

What followed after that was obvious. He talked roughly about the agency's welfare, achievements, and vision.

'Is it to take care of the company's image?'

It was amazing that he memorized all that. I'm sure as the leader, he must know this.

Anyway, I nodded my head sincerely with some responses like I was listening to a very impressive story.

Chung-ryeo finished talking at the right moment again this time, and added some humour as if he had prepared it.

"And as Park Moon-dae participant already knows, LeTi is also the agency of the Mallandalkom seniors. So... wouldn't you have an opportunity to dance together with them?"

"Haha....yes."

This thing doesn't seem to drop.

In any case, Chung-ryeo smiled as if he thought that he was already able to win me over.

"Well, then."

Papers and pens were placed on the desk. It was a contract. Looking at it, it seems like the contract was already stamped and signed.

'Seriously?'

Did they need to go this far with the show's directing? I read through the contract with a grain of salt.

"Will you answer the casting call of LeTi, the agency of VTIC?"

Let's think. I was the first group with 10 people. There are 30 people left and three groups.

'Then at least two more people will receive casting calls from LeTi.'

What if there are more than two VTIC members here? Then, up to 6 people including me will receive this casting call. Let's say that at least one person other than me said OK. LeTi is not an idiot, and if more than two people left and went to the agency, there was a high probability that they would group them together once or twice to promote.

didn't just go well, it's almost a syndrome now.

'The agency can't just throw away this fame.'

So if I don't want to continue to be an idol with the body of "Park Moon-dae," this might be a better option.

There's a high probability that I'll only be active for a year and then disappear.

'After that, I'll find a clue to return to my original body... while looking for a new career path.'

If you stop working as an idol, you'll be quickly forgotten. There are dozens of new idol groups that debut every year. I lifted the pen over the contract. Then, I quietly put the pen back down and bowed my head deeply.

"I'm sorry... I want to continue trying here."

"Ah..."

Chung-ryeo responds as if it were a pity. His fan service was good on stage, and he has a good personality in front of the camera too.

"It's a shame. I thought Park Moon-dae participant would do well in LeTi."

"I'm flattered."

I bowed politely once again.

"Is there a reason?"

The reason why I refused?

First of all... It would be a big deal if I was the only person who agreed to the casting call, because the agency wouldn't let me do solo activities.

Even VTIC only did unit activities. Perhaps they think that solo activities cut the group's life span.

And... even before I came into this body, three years later in the future, LeTi's rookie boy group did not debut.

In other words, this would be a confirmed sudden death.

'Absolutely not.'

Dropping off the program to wait to debut in LeTi was crazy. This is making my spine shiver. But I can't say the actual reason as it is, so I'll have to give another explanation.

"Well...because of the investment cost."

"What?"

"There are people who have bought stocks for me to debut so I want to return that investment."

That's right.

'... If I'm an idol, it's better to do it right.'

If I debuted on , I would sign a five-year contract with the label affiliated with T1. Then, at least the people who spent money and time to make 'Park Moon-dae' debut will be satisfied if I'm active as an idol....

Well, from my point of view. It's not like I have any other dreams or visions anyway. It was fun...to see people like me.

'Isn't this unexpectedly suitable for me?'

Since being on stage was fun too.

"I'm going to work harder so that I can debut here."

This would be a good answer.

I didn't get the timing to show my desperation because VTIC popped out, but this isn't bad.

Chung-ryeo listened to my answer and nodded.
