Debut or Die

Chapter 397

If you can’t debut, you’ll die. The ?Wise? filming site where episode 397

practice is in full swing.

The trainees seemed to be extremely serious and only focused on the finals, but it wasn’t that there were no conversations going on behind the scenes.

Who among the lower ranked participants will survive?

– Who are you going to take?

-I don’t know. See you then.

It is called an anonymous vote, but even in interviews, it is secretly floated.

-Have you already made up your mind?

Here, a participant in the inferior class also gave an appropriate answer, such as ‘I’m thinking hard’, but in fact, I thought it was almost decided.

‘I’m asking for two people to film, but there must be something to worry about.’

Usually, it is difficult when there is only one person to drop out and one person to stick. What’s the point of being able to vote for the best and second best?

‘All I have to do is leave out the ones who won’t film.’

First of all, one guy has already become implicitly unqualified.

-What this dog XX!

Ugh.

‘Are you going to work with a bastard who suddenly rushes in while eating and tries to beat people?’

The participant nodded his head even though he was completely unaware that Shin Jae-hyun, who knew that an assault case would break out three years later, guided him from action to news spread.

So naturally, after excluding one person, there were three people left in the end.

And it was simpler to exclude one more person from it.

someone less close. someone you don’t know A person who has never had a trainee life.

This is the most recent addition to the squad.

Ryu Chung-woo.

‘He’ll take care of himself.’

I had no acquaintance with the former national team member who received a pension, and there was nothing that I felt close to.

‘Then it’s over if I take the remaining two.’

Originally, the existing trainees had already made up their minds to choose the two that they knew each other well and felt uncomfortable dropping.

Those receiving votes can also vote, but since the two of them are already close, the atmosphere has been created among themselves.

‘I’ll go like that.’

It was the time when the participant was enjoying a moment of idleness again like honey after making such a conclusion.

Click.

The door to the practice room opens and you hear words.

“… That’s why I’m worried about voting.”

“It is.”

Voices of familiar participants.

‘uh.’

For a moment, the participant, who was lying down behind the sound system in the practice room, realized that he was invisible.

The voices of Ryu Gun-woo and Jung Woo-dan continue the conversation.

“Did you think of anyone?”

“what… Are you going to take pictures of Ryu Chung-woo?”

“For now, you?”

Feel free to talk to people even if you don’t know they are there. The inferior class participant quietly overheard the conversation without realizing it.

“I’m thinking of Da-hwan hyung.”

“ah.”

Da-hwan Kim was one of the two people he was trying to film.

Because the topic they were thinking about just came up, the participants held their breath and focused on the momentary conversation.

“I am good. Although the dance positions seem a bit oversaturated.”

Ryu Gun-woo hesitated a little, but soon realized again that there was no camera, so he spoke comfortably.

“We don’t care. Because I am a vocalist.”

‘… !’

position?

“yes. It’s a benefit if a good person comes in and the average competency improves.”

“okay. The boss will take care of this.”

ah.

Then, the two of them asked to take a picture of each other and left the practice room that looked empty.

“Everyone hasn’t come yet.”

“It was too early. Then wait another… ”

Kung.

“… … .”

The door is closed. However, the participant was somewhat disturbed.

Are dance positions oversaturated?

“… That’s right.”

That’s right. Of the people left now, there are at most four people in the vocal position, including those two.

The rap position was oversaturated with 7 people, considering that only the impressively bloody guys from the supplementary class were left.

But at the top, there is Shin Jae-hyeon, who has no monsters, and Cha Yoo-jin, who doesn’t know where he came from… .

‘… … There are no seats.’

Almost double the difference. Immediately, the participant who was also in a dance position swallowed his saliva.

-The boss will take care of this.

Members are not chosen by individual viewer votes, but by the president.

Of course, given the president’s inclination, he will be selected considering the balance of positions, so then… It was really dangerous.

“… … .”

The participant bit his mouth at the sudden sense of crisis.

In a situation where options are free, people will eventually rationalize the choices that benefit them.

Especially at the time when the huge prey called debut is dangling towards the goal.

So the conclusion was quick.

‘… It is right to eliminate competitors as much as possible. I’m not even a hodgepodge.’

– Candidates for elimination, which is a dance position, should be sent here.

After hesitating for a while, he made up his mind and quietly left the practice room and ran down the hallway.

And Ryu Gun-woo and Jung Woo-dan, who were sitting in the opposite vocal practice room, confirmed it.

“It really came out.”

“okay.”

“Are you sure this worked?”

“uh.”

Ryu Gun-woo laughed. There was one thing he was sure of.

own position.

Among the participants, the highest level of public awareness, topical skills, and even the president’s high evaluation.

‘It’s hard to ignore the same performer.’

It was not intimacy, but the power of rank and authority.

It’s different from human crush, so if you persuade it directly, you may have a reaction, but it’s enough to bypass it.

‘Because I believe more if I think I’ve found out something on my own by analyzing the other person’s words.’

In fact, depending on the group’s tendency to oversaturate positions, it is possible to push one side as the main focus, but it is not safe to think that way.

Of course, he had no intention of going that far, so Gun-Woo Ryu said this neatly.

“You can bet that the mood will change tomorrow.”

“I don’t fall for such an uncertain gamble, but I respect it as a courtesy to the key player.”

“… … .”

Ryu Gun-woo closed his mouth. After a short exclamation anyway, Zhu Dan put his hand on his chin.

“How many times do I have to do this?”

“Just change the record one more time.”

“Would that work?”

“I have to talk anyway. The rest of the trainees are all in the same situation, so they must be trying to unite. Did you see him run away?”

As long as Testa and VTIC preoccupied the vocal position, the situation of the remaining trainees in the dance position is similar.

Then they will share this strategy among themselves. Meaningful figures should come out, but as long as they are all in similar circumstances, the language will communicate well.

‘Then, roughly how the votes are distributed, even if Ryu Cheng-wu eats only 1/3 of it, it’s a stable pass.’

Only the number of VTICs and testers who have already returned from memory are six.

Half of the garden has already been secured, so this should be enough.

Ryu Gun-woo shrugged his shoulders, and Ju-dan was quite serious… I sympathized.

“You seem to think a lot about human psychology. I do sometimes too. It’s a pretty interesting habit.”

“… … .”

Ryu Gun-woo decided to continue the explanation of the next target quietly without bothering to reply.

In the meantime, beyond the corridor where they had their eyes off, something that Ryu Gun-woo had not predicted was happening.

“omg.”

1. The participant fell while running down the hallway.

“evil!”

2. I felt pain in my ankle.

“Are you okay?”

3. Liu Cheng-wu, who was returning from the interview, witnessed it.

And it moved right away.

“for a moment. Don’t move.”

Ryu Cheng-wu reacted reflexively to the situation as he was taught in training.

“Are you sick here?”

After checking the pain in each part.

“Your muscles look a bit surprised, but you don’t have to worry about injuries.”

Reassure yourself based on your own experience. He even went so far as to find a spray-type patch in a nearby rest room and hand it over.

“use it.”

“ah… yes. thank you.”

And they leave without particularly trying to comment or give advice.

Perhaps it was a light favor that could be treated as a daily routine. What Liu Cheng-wu would always do.

However, the situation was a bit special.

“… … hmm.”

The participant who woke up after spraying the paste thought as if evaluating.

He is calm and has a big body and responds quickly. It was not for nothing that I came from a national university.

‘If it’s a team, I can be a little dependable.’

and… This is the vocal position. There is no need to compete for positions.

If you think about it, if you don’t take Kim Da-hwan, who is in the dance position, the only remaining candidates are Ryu Cheong-woo and the rash kid.

If this is the case, a fairly common sense feeling will come up.

‘… Wouldn’t it be better to be someone who has played well in a team rather than take that bad guy with anger dysregulation disorder?’

The contestant surreptitiously corrected the sentence he was trying to rant about voting to others. Then I walked slowly down the hallway and headed towards the inn.

And a few days later, the long-awaited final broadcast.

-Wow, finally

-Ah, I want to see you, but I don’t want to see you either ?? Are the kids okay

?

In a situation where viewers are defending the main broadcast without winning their curiosity, the president directly announces the survivors in the lower ranks.

in the order in which they received the most votes.

[I am a survivor who received a total of 11 votes and joined the final stage.]

-Wow, overwhelming

-votes.

-Dahwan?

Amid light speculation, the voting screen passes through the VCR, and the party is finally confirmed.

[This is Ryu Cheong-woo.]

[…] !!]

With 11 out of 12 votes, Ryu Chung-woo became the first passer.

Except for one vote in the lower ranks, which is virtually in danger of being eliminated, the results are no different from sweeping.

-????

Ryu Chung-woo with -10 votes?

-Is this possible?

Viewers were taken aback, but they were convinced when they saw the participants smiling and clapping their hands without much agitation.

-Ryu Chung-woo must have a good personality

-I think the insider is different -Are these guys not

very close

at the agency?

‘What.’

He didn’t know that Ryu Cheng-wu would sweep it this far.

‘I saw about 8 or 9 votes.’

And I realized

‘He doesn’t speak empty words.’

– I’ll take care of the ticket.

Liu Qingyu was really confident in his popularity.

Even if he didn’t do that, he proves that the vote that he would have generously earned at least second place is not groundless confidence.

‘… Because he’s a sensible guy.’

Didn’t you act as a leader right away in < Azusa > as if you were eating a meal?

‘It must have been similar this time.’

Park Moon-dae happily accepted his mistake.

Ryu Cheng-wu went in after announcing his acceptance speech with a slight blush on his face.

[As much as my colleagues trusted me, I will show you a good performance befitting the team on the final stage today.]

Testa’s Mundae Park, who took on the appearance of Gunwoo Ryu, applauded the leader with pleasure.

And another vocal position trainee is called, and the two eliminated are confirmed.

It’s a cool thing, but it didn’t have a huge repercussions because it was in the bottom of the vote anyway.

-Aigo ??

-The stage is cruel

. -Everyone is still young, so please debut somewhere else!

After a short period of time so that viewers can be moderately sad.

[Yes I am!]

The final stage unfolds.

The stage of 10 people continues smoothly thanks to the 4 people in the bottom ranks taking on the same part and practicing two different movements.

And naturally, viewers poured out emotional expressions worthy of viewers of the last broadcast of survival.

-???? -Please

all debut

-Taein-ah, it’s not too late, no, K-pop’s leader Shin Eui-son, boss please

-Taein-ah, please use

common sense judgment .

It was because there seemed to be no other line.

However, I couldn’t read the face of president Kim Tae-in, who was sitting in the judges’ seat.

Thanks to that, around the time viewers poured out curses, resentment, and drips.

Suddenly, the screen grabs the back. and see… Wearing a mask, but a familiar face.

-???

-Hey

, just now

.

A handsome man with his arms crossed was standing in front of the standing seat, not in the audience seat for officials.

-My 1st friend

-Hey ,

why is

Sejin Lee

open

?

Here, it was Bae Se-jin, an actor who had not yet changed his name.

An actor who is famous for filming only movies like a cow with very little media exposure appeared out of nowhere in the audience for the final episode of male idol survival.

Of course, the reaction to him poured out like crazy in an instant.

And from the moment the camera director and PD recognized Lee Se-jin, he started appearing on the screen quite often.

[Who can be a STAR?]

Passionate support for the trainees and stories about Lee Se-jin appear in the comments every time it crosses the stage and is caught every 1 or 2 seconds.

Because the reaction was visible.

[Talent crossing the stage, that’s mine]

When someone is caught on the screen, you either open your eyes nervously or swallow.

-I’m rooting for Ryu Gun

-woo

-That’s right -Cha Yoo-jin seems to like

it too

-Lee Se-jin likes skillful

people, so do I.

– It seems too transparent who is rooting for. -?? Why

are you so good at acting

in real life

?

It had quite an eye-catching effect.

-Do you consider a male idol, Seoba, who even sees Lee Se-jin?

-Who can I cheer for? -Tell me quickly

-What

are you doing?

And there was one more element that was indispensable to the original climax.

It’s empathy and tears.

And the easiest way to derive this element was already standardized.

[A surprise letter to the trainees]

A warm middle-aged voice resounds from the billboard on the quiet stage.

[?? : Is our Yunshin doing well?]

That is, family.

“… !”

Bae Se-jin, in the audience, almost bit his teeth.

‘… no way.’

Shortly edited video calls and friendly recordings pass by to see if they are all taken from trainees.

‘no way.’

Bae Se-jin did not know very much about the ‘real’ family history of Park Moon-dae, that is, the current Ryu Kun-woo.

However, if you look at the honest reaction when the story of your parents comes out, you can’t know if you don’t know. That Ryu Kun-woo is not very different from Park Moon-dae’s circumstances.

‘… How about here?’

Since he had never talked about that topic before, Bae Se-jin alternately looked at the billboard and Ryu Gun-woo on the stage in a cold sweat.

And when he confirmed that Ryu Gun-woo was standing still without an expression.

[Geon-wu, how are you?]

The electronic signboard screen turns black and Ryu Gun-wu’s name begins to appear.

[These people sent e-mails all the way here, so we had a phone call.]

[Letter from the Antarctic base]

Comments pour in.

-And Ryu Kun-woo’s parents are both researchers?

-Look at the Antarctic base;

-Your head hasn’t gone anywhere, you’re from an elite

family

.

At first glance, it seemed that he was listening to his parents’ voices with emotion, but Bae Se-jin, who had shared his joys and sorrows for years, caught the emotion of the gesture in his eyes.

‘Remember.’

Bae Se-jin clenched his fists.
