375Being put in the middle of a survival match and pointing out that you will face the best competitor in a fight to the death?I'll be honest with you.'That's a good idea.'This is a very good strategy if you're thinking of taking out a fixed stone with a rolling stone and if you're confident in their abilities.TL/N: Reference to the phrase 'A rolling stone takes out a stone that has stuck', which means 'a newcomer replaces a veteran'.Anyway, it is not a survival that depends on the public vote, it is a survival of agency. It means that the public knows it depends on the CEO and they tolerate it to some extent.Because that means that if a really good entrant comes out, even if he loses, the CEO would rather change the rules to get him through.By the way.'Is he pointing at CheongRyu?'Cha YooJin, bastard, you had promised to pick me!-Our positions don't overlap, and I think it would be best if you don't mind us being seen being close in the future.-Okay, I'm going to perform with MoonDae hyung!TL/N: Main official positions in KPOP groups: vocal, dancer, rapper. There are also others that are added when they debut: center, leader, visual, maknae.
That's what he said last night.'I had already planned it, but does this guy escape at will?'I looked at Cha YooJin, controlled the area around my eyes that was about to twitch.If I make it obvious, I'll be the one getting screwed.-All right. Those in front of you now become your rivals and competitors.I should pretend that the CEO's words are meaningful, but I'm so pissed off that I might respond badly. I pretended to be nervous and took a deep breath.-Of course, there must be a reward for competition. Those who win against the <Supplementary Class> will be unconditionally selected as the <Superior Class> in the next evaluation.-...!!The nervous faces of the trainees got better with the carrot. They are easy guys.-Also, trainees who have not been singled out will be assigned an evaluation task. It is the 'teamwork completion'. Each will lead two people who will compete against each other to complete a three-member performance.I nodded.In short, it means that on the day we go head-to-head one-on-one, we will also perform a group performance. He said it in better words.By the way, do you know who came to my team?It's ShinOh from VTIC.-.......The luck of the draw is awesome.-I hope for your kind cooperation!-I'll do my best.I was assigned a vocal practice room with the two guys. And I went in and looked at the song we randomly chose.'It's nothing other than stealing a song.'It's a song that was chosen and designated as suitable for us by the 'CEO', but supposedly the 'agency' did it.-Blue Jack <Icy Eyes>It is the exciting EDM debut song of a male idol group that hit the autotune-dominated music scene in the late 2000s.Loosely speaking, the lyrics go 'The gaze of the one I love looks cold, but I'll be brave'. Something like this.If the kids didn't want to cooperate when they heard it, that would be a bonus.[Oh oh oh Icy Eyes, they are cold~]A typical catchy song in which short measures are repeated in the chorus. The only part that will show vocal skills are the improvised high notes in the second half of the song.-.......Heum.-Oh, I like this song!The VTIC guy in the supplementary class is actively reacting.'...ChaeYul.'I stopped analyzing the song for a moment and remembered the conversation I had with CheongRyu.It was when we came down from the stage to have them replace the film memories and microphones.-Hoobae-nim, I had not contacted ChaeYul here. I didn't bring him.-You don't mean it's a coincidence?-More than a coincidence... it was something that was going to happen.He smiled brightly.-Every time the survival program occurs, ChaeYul always participates as a member of the supplementary class.-...!I understood the meaning.-...'Always'.-That's right. ChaeYul was in the group from the beginning. I didn't choose him.I remembered ChaeYul's status window.[Jin ChaeYul]Singing: C+ (B+)Dancing: B (A)Appearance: A- (A+)Talent: S- (S+)Attribute: Circus (A)
TL/N: '서커스' (Ssokosseu - Circus) means a magic and acrobatic performance.He has the potential to become one of the best all-rounders.He's an idol of a top group, but for now he's just a decent main dancer.But his talent helps him turn that around.'He's like Cha YooJin in <Icorpo>.'Besides, his attribute backs him up.[Circus (A)]Stunts should be fun.→ Adaptability to the stage +150%.-He has no social deviance, and has never had any problems with the other members. The public has always liked him.TL/N: 'Social deviance' = behavior that deviates from the norms and values that govern society. Negative behavior.And what if this guy excels in the survival program?'Even the CEO would pick him first.'It's a compelling explanation.The problem is this.-And it's interesting, but whenever it appears in the survival program, it always points to the same position.-Main vocalist.-.......And this time, the lead vocalist is me.'I didn't know he would choose you because the person he always pointed out is still there,' CheongRyu explained, but I don't believe him.The important thing is that ChaeYul will compete with me.'Besides, just look at the chosen song.'I laughed inside as I listened to the song.The only way to show off my vocal skills is a catchy EDM song with only 5 seconds of improvisation?'Obviously I just sang along to my previous performance and came down.'Regardless of who chose the song, I think he wants to put me at a disadvantage in this showdown by blocking my strong point.'Great.'That's more than welcome.[No~ Nonono....]The song just ended. Being aware that the camera was approaching to capture a reaction, I tapped the palm of one hand moderately.And a slightly excited voice asks.-So, what kind of arrangement would you like to do?It was ChaeYul. I'll step outside.I smiled slightly.-As long as I can perform, any kind of genre would be fine.-Waaah.......What I said means show your cards first, so what are you admiring?The next thing was even more ridiculous.-Me too!-Me too... Hmm, I'll think of anything as an experience and do my best.-.......I realized something.These guys... they are 'yes' people without giving their personal opinion.I think I know why CheongRyu picked these guys up. I spoke as calmly as possible.-So, since it's a competition, why don't we make it more intense?No rebuttal.-Intense things are really cool and enjoyable!-Yeah, so... Our team, fighting!Why all of a sudden?Anyone watching it will think it's a battle between teams.Suddenly, it looks like I became a high school student doing a group project with two freshmen.'Ryu GunWoo has been a trainee for three months now, what the heck could he do?'If I take this part well, I'll look greedy, and if the guys can't get the parts I give them right, they'll criticize me accusing me of doing it on purpose.'I'll have to stop it.'This nonsense must be appealed to in a way that won't be edited out of an interview in a moment. I nodded.I'll have to change the way we communicate.-Then tell me which parts sound cooler.Instead of expressions like 'want' or 'wish', these guys need more objective words to get specific answers from them.Indeed, we now have some useful answers.-I think the introduction part sounds great!-Hmm, this one here, the bridge.-Then I think it would be better to organize it in a way that can bring out the feelings in those two parts well.-Yes!I completed the direction of the arrangement by attaching words and modifiers as if I was fully considering their opinions.The parts were also correctly distributed according to what they thought was 'cool'.-.......Doing this while being aware of the camera is pretty tricky.Thanks to that, I remembered the guy I used to do this with all the time....-¡MoonDae MoonDae!'Stop.'Why feel disappointment for someone who is not here? I must make things right.I quickly sketched out the following performance. The fact that the other two cooperated unconditionally was better than <Icorpo>.And late in the evening, we had a short break.'We'll have to go with this.'I walked down the hallway to the corner with a note indicating the direction of the arrangement and the distribution of parts. It was to get some air and escape.Maybe because it was getting close to dawn, I couldn't see the other guys.'Will they have all gone back to the lodge?'Then.A guy walking with long strides appeared from the corner on the other side of the corridor.Cha YooJin!He raised his hand and hurried over.-¡Hyung! ¡Eubeubeup!-It's just the two of us. Great, great. Say no more. Just follow me.I led him to a blind spot where there were no cameras.-Y...Cha YooJin, who was about to open his mouth, understood my gesture of putting my hand over his mouth and closed it. Yes, it's because the audio is recorded....Instead, I held out the notebook and pen in my hand.-Why did you choose CheongRyu?Now I wrote this...-This is not the time to move on impulse. Don't tell me you want to stay in this multiverse or something.I folded my arms and looked at him.Cha YooJin shut his mouth tightly, raised his pen and wrote it down hard.-It wasn't on impulse. I got a call just before the shooting. They said he wanted to compete with me. They also said that viewers would enjoy it, and that sounded quite plausible.It may be frustrating, but the words of the boy scribbling in English have a fairly logical structure. I read the boy's text slowly without stopping.-And someone else chose hyung first → Another VTIC sunbae-nim!-......!'I see.'Obviously, to avoid overlapping choices, the supplementary class members should have coordinated with the production team beforehand.However, ChaeYul, who had an order number before him, chose me first.'Then he remembered CheongRyu and chose him instead of me.'ChaeYul's bastard said he didn't, but Cha YooJin kept quiet because he did it himself. I arched my eyebrows.Cha YooJin didn't stop writing with the pen.-And I'm sure I can win. 100%-MoonDae hyung, do you think I'm going to lose?He immediately handed me the pen and I wrote down my answer.-No.Honestly, just thinking about the performance, I can't imagine YooJin losing.-But that's only if we just look at the performance.-This is his company.He doesn't know it, but that guy has been through this process dozens, no, maybe hundreds of times.I could hear Cha YooJin snorting. This little guy...-It's okay ☺-Hyung, do you feel like you're going to lose? Can't you beat the VTIC people? U_UOh, wow.I moved my pen.-You should remember this too. Winning or losing doesn't matter now. What matters is the amount of buzz.It means we have to debut together anyway.-lol OK!YooJin cheerfully scribbled three times bigger letters and shrugged his shoulders.-We're good, I'm looking forward to it!-Yes.Now that's how it is, somehow he must get buzzes out and eat them.TL/N: To provoke rumors and take advantage of them so that the CEO does not eliminate you and you are able to make your debut.
'Because I will do the same.'After saying goodbye to Cha YooJin in the hallway, I immediately returned to the practice room.ShinOh was slumped in a corner and seems to have fallen asleep while listening to his part repeatedly, and ChaeYul replied.-You're already here!-Yes.Then he said.-Hey, hyung. Feel free to talk to me. I'm 19 years old!-...Hmm, okay.Anyway, I'll talk informally with a guy who's actually my sunbae-nim for a long time. I nodded.-If you want to talk comfortably with me, that's fine.-Yes!Seeing that he didn't even ask me how he should do it, it seems his brain is a bit bright.I sat down. He's still looking at me. Just in time, I need to ask him something.-Now that I think about it.... Can I ask why you chose me?-Aaah, about that...I could also ask him if it was because he saw me as the most screwed up of them all, but this guy just touches the back of his head like he can't count that much.-Actually, I'm not even a LeTi apprentice.... in fact, I think it's going to be hard for me to be able to participate in this program.Surprisingly, a realistic response emerged.-So I wanted to perform on stage with the person who has the best skills! If so, I think I can win something.He muttered with a flushed face that he had seen my first solo performance.-If I'm going to fall, then this would be the best.TL/N: 'Falling' in the sense of 'falling / dropping positions in the ranking', that is, running the risk of being eliminated.Hmm. I can't believe the guy who never lost said that. If this guy had been a trainee at this agency, I would have heard some rumors that I'm unintentionally cheating.I laughed.-I don't think you're going down.-Really?-Yes.-Thank you very much!The boy bowed his head with a face full of anticipation and excitement.'...No.'I tried to make a moderately touching image by replying that we're both good and somehow we're going to go up....It's good to forget for a moment the structure of the program that if he goes in, I'll go down.I was silent for a while looking at him.About that.......'...Shin JaeHyun will take care of that.'I don't know. He hasn't had any problems for 10 years, so there has to be a way to control those things. He takes care of his group.-Should we practice some more and then go to the dormitory?-Yes!A week later, the day came when the death match would take place.* * *[<Supplementary Class> Kim RaeBin - Win!][Participant confirmed!]It was the third performance.Kim RaeBin pointed to someone who had the rap position and whose impression was similar to his and finished it.'That's awesome.'[Park JeongWoong - Expelled from the Senior Class][At risk of elimination!]If he knew he was a producer, he should have faced it in dance. Why do a rap-oriented performance? How silly.When I saw the guy down, I clicked my tongue inside.Kim RaeBin bowed his head and, in a very polite manner, took a step back and returned to his seat.The team member who acted with them looked a little embarrassed, but what's up with that? There's no place to set him on fire.-RaeBin-ah, from the moment you're in the program, just think of all the people there as being your grandparents' age.I think that was good editing advice. I nodded in agreement.-Now, the next presentation is....And the performance, which will probably be edited and aired at the end of the episode, continued.-Shin JaeHyun, Upper Class.It was the death match between CheongRyu and Cha YooJin.
That's what he said last night.'I had already planned it, but does this guy escape at will?'I looked at Cha YooJin, controlled the area around my eyes that was about to twitch.If I make it obvious, I'll be the one getting screwed.-All right.
