Debut or Die - Chapter 14

If I can’t debut, I’ll get sick to death Episode 014

After the most hectic and hopeful discussion of the past two days, I talked to Sun Ah-hyun during a short break.

“I’m tired?”

“Oh no… … .”

Seon Ah-hyun shook her head with a nervous face. Even in his own thoughts, he seemed nervous, afraid that he might hear something about his condition.

can i approach it like this I made the subject as mild as possible.

“Then why did you care about the feedback during the choreography check?”

The apology came back.

“… … I’m sorry… . W I’ll work hard… … .”

He really is like a halibut. The chest becomes grand.

“You don’t have to feel sorry for me. And I’m telling you not to misunderstand.”

Let’s try to convey the words ‘The choreographer has a personality problem, so I made a personal attack to motivate’.

“Dance trainer didn’t really say that because he thought I was better than you. He must have been trying to provoke you.”

In order to create a comfortable atmosphere, we sat near Seonahyeon while talking.

“It must have been because it was regrettable because I thought I could do better. Because he is a strong talker.”

“… … .”

Maybe she couldn’t bear to say, ‘No, you’re better’, but Sun Ah-hyun couldn’t bear to answer. Do you think my words are plausible?

“I really think I can do well… think?”

“hmm?”

are you asking me

I calculated and asked that there was no way I could answer ‘choreographers are choreographers and I don’t think so’… I don’t think so.

I crossed my arms and spoke calmly.

“What am I lying for?”

“… … !”

Seonahyeon swallowed her saliva and asked again in a slightly expectant voice.

“Then then… How can I sleep well… … .”

“… Are you asking for my opinion?”

“Yes!”

Seon Ah-hyun nodded vigorously.

‘Are you asking for advice from a newcomer who started his career through an audition?’

I tried my best to hide my cold feeling and came up with a theory based on Seon Ah-hyun’s status window.

“I think you think too much for nothing.”

Seon Ah-hyun seemed shocked.

“It’s useless… … .”

“It’s not that your thoughts are useless. It seems like you’re thinking too much about what you don’t need to do. How about clearing your head.”

Let’s add some specific examples.

“Just think, ‘I’m going to make this.’”

“… … .”

Seon Ah-hyun seemed lost in thought. What a contradictory reaction for someone who has just been advised to let go of their thoughts.

In any case, the words that came right after were positive.

“Joe is good. sun… I’ll try.”

The will was also visible on his face, so it didn’t seem like empty words.

But are you burning with passion beyond your expectations? There was also strength in the shoulders.

Besides, he even mumbles something… It was probably something like ‘I’ll do this’.

“… … .”

Hmmm have I ever been this good at advice?

Just when I had doubts, a status window popped up.

[Looks like you’re right (C)’ activates!]

-Target: Seon Ah

-hyun -Effect: Attribute activation by persuasion success

. It seems that this 35% chance of winning has exploded.

I didn’t know it could be written like this… Due to the nature of this pro, it seemed quite useful. Assuming, of course, that it penetrates 35%.

First of all, I opened the status window of Sun Ah-hyun to check the exact changes.

[Name: Seon Ah-hyun]

Singing: B- (A)

Dance: A (EX)

Appearance: A+ (S+) Talent:

B (A+)

Attribute: Guts (A)

!Status Abnormality: Lack of self-esteem Disabled

Status abnormality disabled ?

You said that the pop-up earlier said that the feature was activated, but is it the effect?

Let’s check the characteristics.

[Guts (A): Make your own mindset. Burn your concentration and press negative states.]

-When activated, cancels one abnormal state (highest priority).

Isn’t that a trait of an opener?

If I had this trait, I would have already deactivated the status ailment that is falling behind if I couldn’t debut and hit the audition.

I got mad and couldn’t turn my head.

It was only after some time had passed and vocal practice resumed that I was able to calmly sort things out.

Anyway, can Seon Ah-hyun use her skills as it is in that status window now?

Mudi praised Seon Ah-hyun’s voice.

“Ahyeon just made the right sound!”

“Thank you… !”

Even when I just listened to it, it was better than practice. It’s probably going to sound more and more like a B- stat.

‘hmm.’

It was a good thing that Ah-Hyun Sun came to her senses and the quality of the stage improved. But don’t let it go too far alone.

‘No matter how much the positions don’t overlap, it’s difficult for that guy to eat all the Buzz by himself.’

I have to make a stage that appeals to me personally.

I needed something that could contribute to the quality of the stage and at the same time, I alone could have the full impact.

“So horror? If you guys do well, I think that direction will be good too. What are you going to do?”

Excited at Mudy’s question, I raised my hand along with the team members who were talking about the direction of the arrangement.

“I have an opinion on arranging my part, would it be okay if I tell you?”

“Oh Mundae~ Where are you?”

“This part.”

I put my finger on the lyric paper.

“Bridge.”

Choi Won-gil, who was next to him, could see his mouth wide open.

Thanks for the part, Gil-ah Won. don’t write well

Season 3 of < Idol Inc. > was burning on the Internet with ridicule and criticism that it would be ruined.

At this point, only the participants’ profiles and the first stage were revealed. The production presentation hasn’t even been held yet, but a public invitation to recruit audiences for the first team match has already appeared on the Tnet broadcasting company’s website.

It was due to a problem with the shooting sequence, but thanks to the overflowing buzz, there was quite a competition in selecting applicants to attend.

And here was a person who broke through the competition rate (27:1) and proudly came to the audience!

‘Wouldn’t it be noticed?’

Now that I look at it, it doesn’t seem very dignified.

In her backpack, swallowing saliva, there was a small bag that was easy to carry and a camera hidden under a cardigan covered with a smoke screen.

There was a reason why she had to come to the audience and hide the camera.

Azusa This season’s first stage < That's Me > was what I had an intuition the moment I saw it.

this might be it!

‘This atmosphere… … I’m sure I’m getting cursed at right now, but when the broadcast starts, all of this could become an interest. As long as the kids who come out are okay!’

Then the value of the photos you take now will skyrocket!

It was half a gamble. However, originally, the word that soaring stocks were gambling dominated her mind. furthermore… … .

‘… If there’s a really good guy, it’s good to sit down as a home horse in the beginning.’

Coincidentally, her (former) idol was making a dirty entry into the social world and dropping her arrogance, so she wanted to use this opportunity to wash her account.

So today I had to take as many pictures as possible. I didn’t know which contestant would explode on which stage.

She calmly waited for the filming to begin.

Filming began after the MC, who had previously worked as a TV announcer and turned talent, came on stage and delivered a few words of advice.

“On this stage, two teams that covered the songs of senior idols from the same agency face each other. Great perks await the winning team. That perk… Please check it out on the broadcast!”

Even though people agreed to a pledge not to do spoilers until the show aired.

Still, there were a lot of people chatting about it on the internet, so it seemed like they didn’t want to reveal it as much as possible except for the stage.

“The long-awaited first team battle of Season 3 of Idol Inc. begins now! Shine Your Star!”

After the voting method was announced and the stage setting was checked, the first stage began immediately.

The first stage was two teams that covered idol songs from QuZ agency, which is famous for betting on popular idols.

‘Isn’t that a bit boring?’

It wasn’t bad enough, but overall it couldn’t be helped that it was worse than the original song.

She secretly took a few cuts, but didn’t have much expectations. The important thing was a team with participants who were mentioned a little on the internet.

After the second team match went smoothly, a team worth watching came out.

On the < Baro I > stage, the match with Cha Yoo-jin, who got the most cuts, came out.

“Hey Cha Yujin!”

“The kids are fine~”

As it was a team with many familiar participants, there was a difference in the cheers at the beginning. Some people were already holding placards.

Above all, the stage was good.

‘Wow, they’re really good at it?’

Even if they had already debuted, their skills were unbelievable and the arrangement was good.

With an overly sexy concept, the old song that was consumed like a Topgol meme on the Internet was digested in a stylish and cute way.

In addition, not only Cha Yujin, but also the rapper from the same agency stood out.

‘Those two will work.’

She diligently left data centered on the two. While cleverly avoiding the eyes of Secu who wanders around in between.

The next team that faced this team was also interesting in a different way because there were many well-known participants.

‘Maybe this will be the last thing on the show?’

She thought it a little exciting, but regretted it.

From now on, it seemed like it wouldn’t be fun at all from the next team.

Since more than half of the worthy participants in the previous team match had been cut out, it seemed that it would be insignificant from the next time.

And sure enough, the next stage wasn’t much fun.

Maybe it was made with the remaining team members who were not selected, but only one team was evaluated in an absolute evaluation method, and honestly, I can understand why it was not selected.

It was the worst stage ever.

“what.”

“My leg hurts.”

Now, there were even people trying to sneak out from the back.

It was boring and my legs hurt, so I didn’t want to see the back stage.

In that distracted atmosphere, the MC shouted.

“This order of the first team match, which is getting more and more heated… … These are the contestants who covered a song by LeTi, the agency of VTIC, a global trending group that recently won the Grand Prize!”

The MC didn’t even mention ‘soft and sweet’.

It means that it was spectator fishing.

But the effect was great.

“VTIC?”

The audience started to murmur.

VTIC was currently the hottest male idol.

People who were about to go out stopped for a moment when they said that they covered the song of an idol who sold 1.2 million copies in the first place.

The MC cheerfully exclaimed in the atmosphere where expectations were slightly restored.

“Then it’s the team that will be on stage first, October 31!”

The name of the ice cream shop was the team name that came to mind.

It wasn’t even a name that stuck to my ears at once.

Originally, it was common for participants not to have a good sense of their own, so everyone spilled the team name without much inspiration.

‘That’s okay, what song did you cover VTIC?’

“The songs covered by the contestants… … Ah, these guys debuted as flower fairies, right? This is 〈To a New World〉 by the girl group ‘Mallangdalkom’, which was active as a national girl group!”

“… !?”

People were perplexed.
