Debut or Die - Chapter 11
If I Can’t Debut, I’ll Get a Deathly Disease Episode 011
Suddenly, a light burst out from the slot, and the movement stopped in the silver slot that wasn’t there.
“hmm.”
First of all, I had a good feeling when I saw the word great success.
Will there be more effective traits this time around? If possible, it would be helpful for the stage… … .
[Characteristic: Acquisition of ‘Looks like you’re right (C)’!]
Arouses emotional agitation in the listener.
Activation rate 35% Basic activation state
How should I accept this trait that seems to be suitable for a wind catcher.
Does this mean that we should do an internet poll?
No, seeing as it was clearly stated as ‘the listener’, that’s not the case either.
Let’s ponder for a moment… … .
“… … .”
I think it’s a pretty good trait to calm down.
Due to the nature of the program, there are quite a few times when survival contestants make statements that convey their words directly to viewers, such as self-introduction and ranking announcements.
At that time, it was a good trait because it would be more advantageous to have feelings for someone rather than pass by indifferently.
Moreover, seeing the expression ‘listener’, the delivery method may include singing.
Definitely a benefit in this case. It will be easy to create a sense of immersion on stage.
good. It’s much better than not having it.
I quickly sorted things out and checked the status window.

One point was earned thanks to the first stage being broadcast and achieving the 〈First Experience〉 achievement.
And there were only 3 episodes left to achieve the 500 singing practice achievement.
I’m going to level up within today, get a spare point, and distribute the points I have right now.
The highest priority is… … .
“Let’s take a look.”
The time has come to cross the threshold of Grade B.
I manipulated the status window without hesitation.
‘… I hope the number of mentions increases from the next content.’
I thought inadvertently, but it was early, but I prepared for bed.
Filming started again tomorrow. It starts early in the morning, so let’s arrange our stamina from now on.
Considering the order, it seemed like tomorrow would be the first team match or a self-introduction video.
* * *
“< Idol Inc. > started again! Did all the participants rest well?”
“yes!!”
Expectations were not wrong. I looked around the filming site among the participants who answered the MC’s question vigorously.
Signs were placed here and there in the auditorium, where the theme song was first shown.
It was a composition that anyone who watched last season could expect the first team match to take place.
Besides me, I could see some participants exchanging glances with each other, as if they were already paying attention to that point.
I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do that, but it doesn’t look bad.
Shall I invite someone too?
“… … .”
Come to think of it, I don’t have any participants that I’ve become that friendly with. Let’s just focus on what the MC said.
“The stage you will prepare for today is the team match!”
“Oh oh!”
Everyone reacted with the same expression.
“Since this is the first team match, there must be a participant you all want to play with, right?”
Seeing how you rhyme like this, the next sentence will start with ‘but’.
“but! Idols should be able to demonstrate teamwork no matter who they meet. In this evaluation, you cannot arbitrarily form a team among yourself!”
In the first season, the program that made it up among themselves and then edited it as if it was an ostracism, so that about five people scored goals, spoke well.
“Then how do you build a team? First of all, please get the ball out of this box!”
“Are you scared?”
Lee Se-jin (Gold Grade), standing behind me, whispered.
Of course, I was the only person around me at this place arranged by the production team, but it seemed like I did it because I wanted to make a reaction cut.
The camera is rolling, but you can’t ignore it.
After giving a rough nod, I followed the person in front of me and pulled the ball out of the box.
‘No. 12.’
It’s like putting teams by number or picking teams by this number.
“Who is the first contestant? Raise your hand! Ah, a participant in this flood!”
A silver-ranked contestant clumsily raised his hand. The MC raised his hand and pointed to a sign posted in the auditorium.
“Contestants can choose each sign in order!”
it was the latter The MC laughed and drew a hand with his arm.
“Then, please reveal the contents of the sign!”
Peeing-.
The sign lights up and letters appear. It was cutting-edge in its own way, but more important than that is the content.
Each sign had the name of a famous agency written on it.
“Here are the names of leading KPOP agencies around the world! All you have to do is choose one of these agencies. Only 14 people!”
The MC spread his hands wide.
“However, if the quota is exceeded, the higher-ranked person can push the lower-ranked person and enter in their place!”
“Wow, the rules are bloody.”
Gold grade Lee Se-jin spoke up again and made a fuss.
“If you choose the same agency as me, you shouldn’t push me? Am I good?”
“… … You are gold.”
I couldn’t understand why a guy with a high rating would assume that he would push him.
“Gold can be beaten by Platinum!”
“… I don’t push”
“Oh~ The answer is cool.”
“… … .”
let’s not dry up
For reference, there were 5 agency signs. Unconditionally, 7 people couldn’t stand on the signboard and had no choice but to stand in the corner.
An interview is expected to be inserted already.
[It was really scary]
[It’s a real survival now.]
“Then, we’ll start moving from the participant Lee Hong-soo who picked number 1!”
The first participant stood in front of an agency famous for male idols.
My number is 12, so it’s quite early. Perhaps there was no need to push anyone away.
However, not being able to check the team members in advance was quite difficult.
Depending on who the team members are in this first team match, the quality of the stage and the direction of editing will change, and the game will change afterwards.
Besides, during the 11th call, there was no contestant I knew. It means that there was no right to debut.
I had to use my head well.
“Please move on to the next participant!”
After much thought, I decided on where to go.
So far, the high-ranking contestants headed for the sign that was chosen the most.
Anyway, each agency had their own hit songs, and if you choose well, you won’t have a big problem with the selection.
So the team was more important than the agency.
If there are people who do well, the stage will be fine, so let’s calculate it based on the 11 people in front of me, even though it’s a poor sample.
‘Once I go to a place with many high grades.’
As I stepped forward with a ball in my hand, two gold-level contestants clumsily welcomed me.
It seemed that the two of them had been talking about putting up the same sign.
Both of them only greeted each other, but it was clear that they were trying to look nice somehow.
You too are in a lot of trouble.
“Oh~ the main vocalist!”
I would also like to thank you for the above response.
Fortunately, both of them were participants who showed strength in dancing.
The problem was from then on.
“Next~ Ah Se-jin Lee!”
Child actor Lee Se-jin also chose this sign.
Lee Se-jin, holding the number 15, approached with a firm expression and stood behind the sign.
It seems that the two Golds were trying to welcome them somehow this time, but Lee Se-jin turned around and vaguely misfired because of the server in the back.
“Ah… .”
I heard a groan in front of me.
Well, since it’s right behind me, I’ll have to gesture like this.
I turned my head and bowed to child actor Lee Se-jin. Sejin Lee also nodded. It was an awkward reaction.
It also doesn’t feel good. Could someone give this guy a push?
However, after that, the possibility of a lower bronze level than silver came in, and the possibility became extremely low.
‘shit.’
And after some time, the 30s. Seon Ah-hyun, who was holding number 33, often approached with a nervous expression.
“… … .”
Well, it’s good if the gold level increases. He is also cooperative. I waved my hand, and Seon Ah-hyun, with a bright expression, waved his hand together.
I was a bit embarrassed.
The next impressive addition was Liu Cheng-wu, who was ranked platinum.
As a former national archery representative, he was one of the debutants I knew.
“i look forward to!”
Ryu Cheng-wu smiled and stood 13th in line.
There is only 1 person left.
Unfortunately, the 1st and 2nd place in debut I knew had gone to a different sign. It was the sign that the first contestant, who is famous for being a famous male idol family, went.
Because the agency was especially popular, the number of people was pushed first.
Including 1st place Cha Yoo-jin, there were many people who became a hot topic with their debut or first stage.
Even silver was pushed out there.
“sorry.”
The silver level contestant who was pushed back nodded and approached this sign. It was a very pitiful look.
“… … .”
For reference, this is Choi Won-gil.
After arguing hard, I wonder if my mentality really exploded, and I fell to silver after ruining the grade evaluation.
I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but I don’t think he’s trying to make eye contact with me.
“Hey, now someone has to push to get in. All 14 people are full.”
“oh my.”
The first two golds in line whispered.
… Gradually, the members of this team began to worry.
It was this guy who even pushed in from the 60’s.
“The emitter I will point out is… This is a Bronze level regular middle class participant. I’m really sorry!”
Gold Rank Lee Se-jin chose this sign.
Lee Se-jin, who lowered his head, pushed the first number of people away and joined the sign.
It was an atmosphere where everyone seemed so apologetic and behaving kindly.
“Oh Moondae~ Are you going to be the main vocalist?”
“The right person will do it.”
“Wow, it’s cool~ ‘A person who suits you will do it’~” “
… … .”
If it wasn’t for the camera, the fist would have been blown.
I looked at Lee Se-jin without answering and he smirked and slaps me on the back before moving to line up.
It was unfair… … .
“Did you all choose the sign you wanted?”
After being pushed out here and there, the remaining participants were assigned new signboards, and the movement was over.
In the sign I stood, there was no change except that Han Silver pushed Bronze after Lee Se-jin (Gold) joined.
As a result, to summarize the participant rating here is as follows.
-2 Platinum, 5 Gold, 5 Silver, 2 Bronze.
Overall, it was the best distribution except for the first place team. The members seemed to be quite satisfied, perhaps realizing that.
Of course, it won’t end here.
“Now you want to choose a great song!”
“yes!!”
There were 14 of them, but there was no way to squeeze them into one team. We will divide by 7 people.
First of all, the person to avoid is sure, and the person you want to be with… … .
I turned my head. Coincidentally, Ryu Cheng-wu’s eyes met.
Liu Qingyu nodded slightly. It seemed that this side was also planning to build a high-ranking team. good. So, to make it look as less petty as possible… .
“Now before that… Whoever picked the first sign, raise your hand!”
Participants standing right behind the signs here and there raised their hands.
MC said with a laugh.
“Participants with hands up, please press the button on the sign!”
“yes?”
“A sign?”
“Button Ah, the square on top of that.”
The participants chattered with each other, then found and pressed the button at the top of the signboard.
Then the contents of the sign blinked and changed.
“What is it?”
“A lottery ticket?”
There were two lines of seven numbers floating on the sign screen. The sign of the agency I was on was the same.
[4 7 12 15 33 37 62]
[17 24 27 38 41 59 72]
“See the number on the sign?”
“yes!”
“I see!”
“If you buy a lottery ticket with that number! … Haha that was a joke. That number makes you a team! … Do you all remember the numbers of the balls drawn in the starting order?”
“… … !!”
“You are now a team in the order written on the sign! And I’m going to have a head-to-head match with the other team!”
In an instant, the filming set was filled with noise.
“Uh hey how many times… … . Was I number 5? omg.”
“Wow what… … .”
“Are we split?”
This sign was no different. First of all, the gold level participant who pressed the button cheered and hugged the same gold level right behind him. I guess the two of you came here to do it together.
And immediately looked back at me and shouted.
“older brother! Number 12~ A team like us!”
“Wow great! I got the main vocal!”
And immediately, someone caught my voice from behind and joined the place where the gold grade was hugging.
“Is our team good?!”
It was Lee Se-jin of the gold rank. Right. Number 62 was that guy.
I tried to match the order of the team members among the three who seemed to make a fuss on purpose.
The remaining ones are 15, 33 and 37.
First of all, number 33 is Sun Ah-hyun.
It just went well. Turning around and talking to Seon Ah-hyun, he slipped out of the gap between the three of them.
It was awkward, so I almost got annoyed.
“I’m counting on you.”
Seon Ah-hyun nodded vigorously. OK, who’s the rest of the team?
It would be nice if there was a platinum level and debut member Ryu Chung-woo, but was that number 37… … .
“… … .”
It wasn’t. Number 37 was Choi Won-gil. It was clear that he was standing this way awkwardly holding the order ball.
It seemed that Ryu Cheng-wu had already gathered people there and started the briefing.
‘Damn it.’
And number 15… … .
Shit, it was Lee Se-jin, a child actor.
Likewise, he was staring at the three gold ranks gathered there with eyes that refused to communicate.
It’s done. This is the end of editing.
Whatever my expectations, the ratings on the outside were overwhelmingly good.
Maybe that’s why Seon Ah-hyun added a word with a happy voice.
“I think the tee tee teammates are good.”
“… … .”
Yes, think positively too.
