Debut or Die

Chapter 383

If you can’t debut, you’ll die. Episode 383

LeTi’s in-house survival program ?Wise? filming day.

The mood has changed a bit.

‘Suddenly, the outline of the list of debutants is coming out.’

Even just looking at the greetings the president gives before filming, you can almost see the angle.

“You’re doing great. Let’s be more challenging.”

“yes!”

The criterion is not how positive it is.

“Jaehyun, be especially careful not to over-pace your vocal practice.”

“I will take note.”

how specific

how much do you care

A level that those who started their social life early while living as trainees can naturally smell it.

“excuse me… Your piercing looks great today.”

“… ? Thank you for your kind words!”

Thanks to this, the contestants secretly start talking to Kim Rae-bin, who was actually given the president’s pick saying ‘I think he will adapt well to this agency in all aspects’.

‘It’s kind of interesting that the composition and the time of < Azusa > are so different.’

and me.

“Have you prepared your heart? See you on the podium.”

“yes.”

This is another compliment.

The camera was also turned off for the preliminary dropout, but I can’t say that cruelly. Thanks for letting me know in advance that I passed.

“Recording starts~”

This shooting started with announcing that in the last evaluation, the winners and the losers were divided into superior and inferior classes.

“Whoa… .”

“thank you!”

Cross of Joy.

However, the most bloody content is scheduled for the next order.

Announcement of dropouts.

He called me and the other guy who was ‘outside’ to the podium.

“Only those who have done better than the 14 people standing there, who are already out of line, can survive. And that person… ”

The boss skillfully takes the time and then speaks with a firm face.

“Ryu Gun-woo.”

“That’s it.”

The contestant who lost to Kim Rae-bin got off as it was.

The atmosphere has cooled, but the boss is kind and seems to have no intention of solving it.

He said this to me too.

“The moment I come back to the outside, I won’t be able to avoid being eliminated. Do it with all your might.”

It also means that if you go outside, you will just die.

“I will keep that in mind.”

welcome

Then they won’t make a bad game again and induce me to be left out. No matter how you look at it, the boss doesn’t seem to want to drop me.

‘It’s a certification that the production team won’t make alterations in the next performance mission.’

Thank you so much.

I bowed my head. And I checked the current number of people.

Except for one guy who was taken off the stage by the boss because of his poor attitude on the previous stage… .

’15 people.’

Rather, the number of people has increased compared to the first time, so I think there will be another dropout in this performance. I’ll have to sift out some people to build tension.

It was the moment I thought so.

“However, every event and performance has a maximum capacity. … No more than 14 people.”

What?

“Therefore, when an outlier is resurrected, one of the existing members with the lowest achievement thus far is eliminated.”

now?

And the president called a few members of the inferior class and lined up the strengths and weaknesses, and said this.

“< Inferior Class > Park Jong-hoon is eliminated.”

“… … .”

Sudden announcement of additional dropouts.

The one who was called staggered at the shocking result, and the participants standing around shut their mouths.

Gives me a lot of tension

“Please leave now. Participants Kun-Woo Ryu can return to their seats.”

“… … yes.”

It seems that this is why he did not create a warm atmosphere and sent the outsider away at once.

To drive the atmosphere so dangerously.

‘I had some fun with topicality.’

Since he gained popularity because he was cruel, he must have been greedy to become even more brutal. It wasn’t a very good thing.

‘In the end, even if it’s not ‘Azusa’, is survival going this way?’

Towards the diagram that cruel enough to go out of children’s mentality is exciting and fierce.

‘It’s a bit bitter, but… There’s nothing bad about me, though.’

I waited for someone to step out of my seat and then carefully entered the empty seat in the inferior class.

The guys standing next to me are frozen and stiff with faces that are neither welcoming nor sad. Let’s keep our mouths shut with similar faces.

‘It’s blocking the pod.’

And when I turn my head, all the guys who were on the team before are all in the debut group. Chae-yul and Shin-oh team also won.

I nodded inwardly.

‘The composition is fine too.’

In an interview, it was roughly ‘Wasn’t it bothering you that you were the only one in the inferior class?’ It seems that such a question will come. The additional amount is sweet with one aggro.

“You worked hard.”

After the bloody rankings and the announcement of the dropouts, the lights go out on the stage. The microphone recording is also cut off.

“I’m glad bro.”

But the camera is still running, and the quick-witted bastard immediately sets out to manage the image.

Cheong-ryeol.

“brother!”

“You worked hard!”

I asked Chung-ryeo in a low voice, dealing with the other guys who came running with me as if I was glad to see them.

‘The proceedings are pretty brutal. He said it wasn’t like this before.’

‘Iknow, right. A little more than before… My expression has become vulgar. The level is also high.’

And he smiled and put his arms around me as if encouraging me.

‘People will like it. Yes?’

‘… … .’

Anyway, there is an excellent skill at talking about similar ideas like garbage.

Anyway, the production team seemed to have tightened the participants up too much, so they relaxed the atmosphere a bit in the next content.

The program is changed to a slightly softer and more exciting tone, followed by an event to adjust the tempo.

That’s the time I did housework because I was excluded last time because I was ‘outside’.

‘Last time it was a public service announcement… this time?’

It was a pictorial for the album concept photo.

Seven concepts.

“Now, discuss and choose the concept you want!”

The argument for concession and the fight to notice are mixed. Since there are a lot of people who already know each other, passing them off under the guise of recommendations is happening here and there.

me?

“I’m fine with anything. I didn’t take pictures, so I don’t have any likes or dislikes. Everything is interesting and looks good.”

“Oh oh! If your brother… .”

How many photo concepts have Testa Park Moon-dae taken so far?

no matter what you get It’s enough to coolly concede and take a good picture.

however… .

“yes! Press to reveal a little more of your mouth~”

“… … .”

me too… I didn’t know that the concept with the keyword ‘Tooth’ was a vampire.

Who the hell is this idiot who put this kind of irrational concept into a survival game that hasn’t even debuted yet? I can see why VTIC was dismantled in the first edition.

Still, I don’t think I didn’t shoot because I had time, and the reviews were very good.

The interview was also well done.

“I was just taking pictures. It feels different when you become a full-fledged subject like this. Still, I remember the experience when I was filming… I tried hard.”

‘I’m a college student at the photography club’ Meta.

Well, isn’t this a fresh and good story?

It may seem a bit hateful, but that doesn’t mean I can’t say something crazy like ‘Haha, I’ve filmed this kind of stuff so many times’, so I chose the next best thing.

“Do you think the photos will all come out great? Thank you all for your hard work. I had a lot of fun filming today!”

“Wow!”

Anyway, when the event ended with a handful of warmth restored… That very night the performance mission hits with a hook.

‘He’s merciless.’

“< Wise >. This is already the 4th performance. Your theme this time, where you have to show a more developed image… … .”

Now, the president announced with the participants who were nervous as if they were going to pretend every time they were called to the stage.

“It’s the ‘battle for position’.”

“… !”

“scramble… ?”

The big picture is still the same. The main process I heard from Cheong-rye hasn’t gone astray yet.

Now, for example, the meaning of the position battle is this.

-The next content is a group performance of a new song, and we compete in advance to see what part we will take on.

And the positions to be occupied are revealed on the electronic display board.

[Vocal A Vocal B]

[Dance A Dance B Dance C]

[Rap A Rap B]

A part divided into a total of seven categories.

And the boss calls the honor class.

“After seeing the pictorial you took, a closed evaluation team conducted a vote. The honors class has the right to choose the parts first in the order in which they received the most votes.”

“iced coffee… .”

The first name is called between the one who becomes contemplative and the one whose expression brightens.

It’s an obvious line.

“Shin Jae-hyun.”

He humbly lowers his head once, stands up, and moves right away.

[Dance A]

Next is Yujin Cha.

The members called out one by one take the remaining seats one by one after thinking about it.

Then, looking at the positions that were filled, the president nodded and said:

“Now, each of you in the honors class has full authority to set the stage for this position fight.”

“… !”

“Which songs to choose and which performances to perform are all personal choices.”

In a word, ‘try a stage the way you want to do it’.

And at this timing, the 7 inferior class members are put into the stage created by the honor class as challengers.

“Take the stage once.”

Then, since the total number of people is still 14, don’t you think we should stick together one by one?

no.

“You can apply for any number of applicants for any part you want. but… .”

No matter how many people join and what happens… There is only one winner.

-Only one winner can perform the new song.

Nervous participants look at each other while watching their parts.

‘Anyway, I haven’t even told you the specific parts of the new song.’

In the end, who you hang out with is the most important thing.

Of course, here, too, there is an order according to the pictorial voting.

“The first contestant to choose a position in the inferior class… I am Ryu Gun-woo.”

And number 1 is me.

‘oh.’

Head, what are you admiring? It’s even more strange if you can’t beat young guys who debuted 5 years ago and haven’t even debuted.

‘If I couldn’t, I would have had to hit the head.’

Instead, I nodded once and looked at the boss.

“Please come out and choose your part.”

okay. i get it.

I quickly shook my head.

‘If you usually put it in alphabetical order, the standard is… .’

Is the amount of difficulty and the order of appearance?

‘But Cheongryeo chose Dance A… la.’

If that’s the case, there’s a slightly higher chance that the vocals will also have more impactful parts on the A side.

‘Even so.’

I moved without hesitation.

and stood

“… … !!”

[Vocal B]

There is no other reason.

Isn’t there a specific factor to consider right in front of you right now?

‘competitor.’

It’s because the honor class guy who sings the best here except for me picked this one.

“Inferior class Ryu Gun-woo competes with Honors class Choi Tae-joon for < Vocal B >.”

Taejun Choi. When he debuted, his stage name was Bihan.

How do you know?

‘Because I’m the one who sold data.’

That’s because he’s the former main vocalist of VTIC, who was blown away by the club situation.

After renewing the contract, he went out due to an incident, but he was the main vocalist of a group 1 idol for 7 years, so he is not an ordinary guy.

But if I point this guy out… .

‘It will look defiantly challenging.’

And if he even wins, that’s where the narrative of this survival contestant Ryu Gun-woo gains momentum once more.

‘It’s time to move on to the middle of the program. I have to catch the flow again.’

I politely bowed my head to the former main vocalist of VTIC.

“i look forward to.”

“… … Um yes.”

The one who shakes his head… Well, I guess I should roughly call it a club memo or a telegram. Anyway, he tries to smile.

I stood next to him

And I watched the situation go slowly. The inferior class selecting parts one by one.

“I’ll do vocal A… !”

It may be obvious, but most of them point to the remaining team with only one “honor class”, even though it is possible to enter any part without a quota.

‘Because everyone calculates the probability.’

But even so, there is a team that can’t point out even though there’s only one person who thinks it’s a suicidal act.

“‘Dance A’ currently has no challengers.”

It is ‘Dance A’ with Shin Jae-hyun.

‘I know my skills too well.’

Since they are trainees at the same agency, they know each other well, so they have enough information, so they are good at taking care of themselves by looking at them blindly.

‘Hmm.’

I saw Shin Jae-hyeon standing in front of the billboard with no competitors.

And this point is the difference from the flow that Cheongryeo informed in advance.

The original format is ok. One in < High Class > and one in < Inferior Class >. One-on-one match.

Originally, this was a one-on-one composition with no byes.

And in my opinion, even if you can give up one-on-one, there’s no way they’ll put a bye win on the survival stage.

If so, there must be other factors.

-There are some variables this time, right?

what would it be

“Of course not like this. We have another competitor.”

“iced coffee… .”

“no way.”

“as soon as… This is the supplementary class for viewers.”

“… !!”

okay. Recruitment of new contestants who hit the advertisement at the very end of the program.

Looking at the participants who react small without knowing themselves, the president speaks as if he is sentenced.

“Please come out.”

phut!

A meaningful BGM flows along with a small firework, and another electronic display board opens.

‘I use it quickly.’

Well, if it’s too late, the fan base of the contestants will be fixed, and the feeling that the supplementary class is too much for obstacles will be too strong.

I nodded inwardly and clasped my hands behind my back pretending to listen to the president.

“Don’t think about the last make-up class. These contestants are talents selected from a larger pool of citizens after fully confirming the rigor of this program.”

He puts a cool word on the number of people he hired in a week.

Even if you say it like that, the probability that a really great guy came is infinitely low.

‘I should just check the stats and pass it on.’

Without inspiration, I watched the figures appearing from beyond the dry ice.

There are 7 of them, and no one really stands out… . for a moment.

“… !”

As the smoke clears, there is a familiar face that has been seen for years in the center of the human figure.

Recently, they even share their traces… .

[Lyu Ryu Cheng-wu!]

Why are you there?

I tried not to open my mouth… For a second, the camera takes a close-up of me. Everyone knows that these bastards are related to me.

‘No fucking foot.’

What the hell is this?

Ryu Cheng-wu smiles a little as if he is embarrassed. It seems awkward because it is his first time performing on a stage like this.

“The supplementary class is holding a sign for the part they chose.”

I reflexively lowered my head.

The sign he picked out beforehand was… .

[Vocal B]

“… … .”

This is my position stage.

[Damned… … .]

Be quiet.
