Wow, Im so nervous!

It would be nice if we came out a lot.

The auditorium of the dorm was filled with the voices of the sweaty teenagers.

Theyre in a good spirit.

I came to the set at night, wore uncomfortable uniforms, and sat in an uncomfortable iron chair while they were filming.

There are cameras everywhere, so its hard for me to show how uncomfortable I am. Was it only me?

Gold 1, 2, and Keun Sejin must have grown tired of talking among themselves, so they came all the way here and put up with it.

Moondae Hyung-nim, how do you feel about the first episode?

Ah~ Are you ready to become a legend in ranking evaluation?

Its amazing! Moondae-ssi!

Stop it

My life is a legend when I cant ignore this nonsense, really.

I want to drink something cold.

Oh, theres a drink.

Now that I see, there was an ionized drink under each seat. Seeing that the brand is clearly visible, it seems that the PPL was finally opened.

It wasnt made by a famous brand, but anyway it was still good. I took a drink and drank it.

And I almost spit it out.

.

I can understand why they put the PPL in.

Because it tastes terribly bad.

Countdown will begin soon! Please shout along from 10!

A number appeared on the screen of the beam projector in front of me as the logo disappeared at the same time as the sound of the staff shouting.

10! 9! 8!

When the countdown ended and the melody of the theme song Its Me played, cheers and applause erupted from all over the place.

And thats how the long-awaited first episode aired.

* * *

The first episode was aired for two hours as a special program.

This means that the participants sat on iron chairs for 120 minutes and didnt move except for the broadcast reaction.

However, I dont think the participants were concerned about that.

The important thing is one.

How long have I been on the show?

Of course, there must have been many more disappointed participants.

How was I?

Yeah, once the filming is done, lets review the contents with the reactions I found on the Internet.

First, the screen showed all kinds of responses from the Internet, like articles criticizing Idol Inc. and the best comments.

And the caption came up.

[A lot of controversies!]

[How did the actual filming of Relisting! Idol Inc. go?]

The viewers reacted the same way as before.

They seem to be continuing to watch the show while cursing.

I mean, to think you dont skip that kind of thing and just show it? As expected, the cable class isnt going anywhere.

I feel like Im eating Mala-flavored popcorn

Its not fun. Show me the kids.

Fortunately, the opening passed quickly, and the first participant appeared.

[Ah~ Im so nervous!]

Oh, Choi Wongil.

Thats right. The group evaluation to which Choi Wongil belongs appeared first. Choi Wongil received quite a lot of screen time as a typical youngest position.

Im sure the first contestant was someone else.

After that, the first participant didnt get any more screen time.

He wont be coming out anymore in the future.

Overall, it was like that.

It was chosen on its own by the people on the production crew. Some participants didnt even get the reaction cut properly.

Interestingly, the participants from my previous group received quite a bit of screen time.

Starting with Choi Wongil, the evaluations of Keun Sejin and Gold 1 and 2 were aired before the first part ended.

The feeling was fine. When entering a team match, starting with a good team is good.

Of course, the most important thing is that my screen time is long.

If my evaluation had not been fully edited, it should have been in the first episode in time order.

And fortunately, it came out.

[Next participant, enter now!]

My first screen appearance was at the end of part 1.

It was a strange feeling to see Park Moondae walking up to the stage on the screen. It feels like watching someone imitate what I did.

Keun Sejin and Golds started hitting me in the back, grabbing my shoulders, and shaking them from behind.

They dont give me any room to think.

Hey, hey, hey, youre coming out! Can you see it?

Yeah, its me.

If they shake it more, I wont be able to see even if I have eyes, so stop it.

Since I cant say that, I returned the response appropriately and focused on the screen again.

The conversation between the judges was revealed.

[Yes, participants. Please introduce yourself.]

[My name is Park Moondae. Please take good care of me.]

After Park Moondaes greeting on stage was over, the interview was inserted immediately. It was a good sign because it showed that it went through editing.

[Q: Is there anything you want to say?]

[Park Moondae: No. (silence)]

[Park Moondae: Theres nothing in particular.]

BGM without laughter and chilling sound effects were a bonus.

Uhm.

Lets seeit must have answered the question of whether I had any problems with other team members.

How do they bring that up?

The edit made the word positive sign disappear in 7 seconds.

How cheap.

The judges absurd reactions flowed more exaggeratedly from the screen.

[No, is that all?]

[Yes. I have no experience to introduce.]

As soon as the answer was finished, another interview cut appeared.

[Park Moondae: (Before this show) I have no experience in the entertainment industry.]

[Q: Have you received any training?]

[Park Moondae: I dont have one.]

They thought I wanted to be X here.

I said it on purpose because I thought they might edit it, but I didnt know it would be a short answer.

At this time, the Internet reaction was also brutal.

His answer is so insincere.

Is that the concept?

He doesnt seem to be motivated, so why is an ordinary person like him crawling out here?;;

It will make me so mad if he really cant do anything.

And all the judges absurd whispers on the screen were shown with subtitles.

[Ah, looking at the application form here, there is really nothing.]

[Right.]

The stiff looks of the participants who had previously been judged and the cuts when they whispered to each other came out in an instant. I wonder where that cut came from.

The screen effect was added to make it seem like the judge was about to say something sarcastic.

[Then lets take a look at your performance]

[Yes.]

On the screen, Park Moondae grabbed the microphone, and the accompaniment flowed out.

[Ding ding! Its the sound of an ice purifier~]

The came out.

It was an ad in the middle of the show, which is something that only cable shows can do.

Heol!

Hyung, dont worry too much.

Exaggerated reactions and worries poured out around me.

Are you okay?

The guy who hasnt come out yet is worried about me?

I think its because of the camera that they get into the atmosphere.

I answered bluntly.

Well, as long as its aired.

Of course, it was bullshit. No matter what I actually do, it will be done with the editing.

However.

I laughed inwardly.

I dont think it will kill me at all.

Since the came in the middle of the evaluation, it was fine to break the flow once.

The short ended quickly, and the prelude flowed again.

By this time, public opinion on the Internet was hitting the ground. (t/n: means regretting and being upset. People often say He bitterly regretted having missed the opportunity.)

Im not really curious about it, but theres even an .

Ah, give the dose to the kids who can do it, not the ones who cant.

I dont want to accept the concept of ordinary people.

I dont want to see you anymore because you think youre really good at survival

The comments stopped for a moment when Park Moondae grabbed the microphone and started singing.

[I remember the me I used to know]

[!!]

The images of the judges with their eyes wide open and the participants suddenly raising their heads kept coming in without a break.

?

What?

Huh?

Why is he good?

What the hell, hes good

To be honest, I was just as embarrassed as the internet reaction.

Im good.

With the editing added, it came out as if some kind of hermit genius appeared in the audition.

Even the vague hand movements that cant even be called choreography were cut off so well, it looked plausible.

It was a much more favorable edit than I thought.

I guessed that they were trying to make it interesting by killing expectations in front and showing the stage well.

[As if every day is a PARTY, ooh~]

There was even a cut in the second half of the high notes where the judge Mudie covered her mouth.

I dont think thats from my evaluation?

Are you going to cut it off in an interview and turn it around like this?

When I felt bitter, peoples opinions on the Internet quickly changed.

Wow, hes really good.

The feeling of wanting to escape from this ordinary people.

Oh, the high notes are amazing

His voice is good Im embarassed.

Its been a while since I saw someone sing PARTY in ME well is he Park Moondae? I will buy the stock.

The production crew even saved a brief silence after the song ended.

[Thank you for listening]

[.]

The close-ups of the other participants reactions and the silence made for an unnecessary dramatic scene.

The judges reactions were also shown quickly, and the choreographers words were given large captions as if they were just famous sayings.

[You know you did a good job, right?]

[.I practiced hard to sing well.]

[No, youre just born with this. Youre talented.]

If there is a problem, it is that my reaction to the words became relatively boring after editing it like that.

And it was probably on purpose.

[Then youve never had a special lesson?]

[Yes.]

[Not at all? So, academy too?]

[Yes.]

Because it was like this when looking at the internet reaction.

Yeah, I dont think he practiced hard.

Moondae-ya, your answer is soulless.

There was a time when his soul was singing, where did it go?

The only good thing was that I didnt think Park Moondaes response was harsh or that the comments were full of jokes.

Hmm. The strands were barely caught.

Tactless did I get into the character of A My-Pace-Ordinary talented person? (T/n : means personality that goes out in his or her own way without being swayed by what others say or do. )

Theres a bit of cursing, but it wasnt a bad start.

No, it was rather good.

I thought I would easily pass the second round with this early recognition, as long as the team match editing didnt get too crazy after that.

If this is the flow, I might be able to wrap the dance appropriately and hand it over.

With a feeling of hope, the content started to show up on the screen. Finally, it was the content when judge Youngrin asked me to dance.

The reaction on the Internet in this area was ambiguous.

It looks like he cant dance.

Wow theyre making him dance.

I think its going to be solemn

Im already embarrassed

[Yes. So, is this song possible?]

[Huh?]

But as soon as Park Moondae showed up and asked for a song right away, and the staff was shocked by what he said, the comments started to get excited again.

What is it?

What? What did you request?

Why are the hands of the staff shaking?

I cant even imagine what it is.

And when the incredibly lively POPCON came out, all the editing and comments went crazy.

[!!!!]

When Park Moondae danced POPCON with a serious expression and was cross-edited with subtitles full of exclamation points and the judges spouting water, the atmosphere went to another world.

Pfft.

The voices of the participants, who were laughing all over the place, could be heard.

Sincerely I was embarrassed.

NoI was just trying to make it look like I was working hard even for an easy song.

It came out like a crazy person who was serious about popcorn.

I was worried that it could become an internet meme like this, but as expected, I had to look at the score to find out.

What is this, Moondae so cute, though?

Then hes so serious about the stage.

Youre really working hard

The reaction is good?

The reaction was better than when I sang. Oh My God.
