The first donation comment was straightforward.
#Why did you choose chicken feet? ㅋㅋㅋ
People buzzed that it was a great question in the comments. Park Moondae pondered for a moment, then answered honestly.
"Uhm, actually, my collaboration item keyword was frozen food, not chicken feet."
– Wow, how shady.
– When I look at the chicken feet again, it looks like a fairy.
– RII punk, why did you guys put frozen food in idol PR—?
– Why do you put dumplings as a candidate when there's carbonated water in T1? ㅋㅋㅋ
Park Moondae, who couldn't see the comments, continued speaking quietly.
"The chicken feet were the most delicious among the frozen foods I received as a sample. So I chose the chicken feet."
– !
– You…tried all the samples?
– This participant is a 'real.'
– At this point, it's not enough to laugh at how hard he's working. ㅋㅋㅋ
"First of all, it's an advertisement— however it's hard to say that something that doesn't taste good is delicious."
As Park Moondae answered, he grabbed the chicken foot again and put it in his mouth. And right away, more donations came pouring in without a break.
#What's your favorite food besides chicken feet?
#Who is the participant you're closest to?
#Then, for what criteria did you choose for triangle kimbap? ㅋㅋㅋ
"I'm not picky about food and I eat everything well. I'll skip the close participants— uhm, I think it'll be a spoiler if I say it."
– He's very thorough. ㅋㅋㅋ
– It's true that our Moondae have close friends, right? Grandma believes in the Moondae! *^^*
– But Seon Ahyun said he was close to you in the next broadcast over there. ㅋㅋㅋ
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I got it, Moondae-ya, are you close with Ahyun?
From Park Moondae's point of view, talking directly about someone could be dangerous, so he chose to speak vaguely.
But even that topic was played with in the comments.
And just as Park Moondae was carefully explaining why he chose the triangle kimbap, the donations that had been held up started coming in all at once.
"The tuna mayonnaise is strong and goes well with chicken feet like a sauce— ah."
#Moondae_please_just_sing_one_verse_of_a_songㅠㅠ
#Don't just eat too much, and please introduce yourself. ㅋㅋㅋ
#Is there a secret to singing well?
"Uhm. Singing."
Park Moondae put down the last chicken feet he was going to eat.
– Finally.
– Is his idol ego awakened?
– Is it meaningful that he only came back to life with one chicken foot left—.
– No, Moondae, your singing is really good, and when I watch the team battle, it's so amazing.ㅠㅠ
– It was good on the show, but how will the live show be?
While there were a lot of comments, Park Moondae started singing.
"I'm standing on the stage, you don't know yet~."
It was the broadcast theme song It's Me.
Park Moondae only selected songs that had already been well-received by the trainers without much thought, but from the viewers' point of view, it was nothing but solidifying the character.
– Park Moondae, he's a professional
– Wouldn't he be a more sincere participant than anyone else?
– It's really unpredictable. It's not the way the criminal thinks.
– I'm going crazy. This is so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The comments were overflowing with people joking around. But that wasn't all.
– But you're good at singing
– Why is chicken feet sweet when it's caught in one cut?
– It's good to hear even without music
– Good job, Moondae-ya, please sing another song now ㅠㅠ
Even though Park Moondae used low-quality equipment, his voice was clearly heard even though 77 people were broadcasting live at the same time.
Without blurring parts, Park Moondae brought the song along in a cool way.
It was a nice voice to listen to without a single uncomfortable note.
As if to concentrate, the speed at which the comments come up has slowed down slightly. Exclamations were mixed in with the reaction.
And past the last part of the pre-chorus, it was when the chorus began.
"On the stage—"
Riiing!
The alarm rang loudly from the clock on the desk.
It was a reminder that there were only 30 seconds left. It was showing that the five extra minutes were over.
"Ah, time's up."
Park Moondae immediately stopped singing.
It's because he didn't intend to create controversy by wasting time and adding more songs.
The problem was that he quit too abruptly.
– No, if you cut it off here.
– Of all things, right before the chorus ㅋㅋㅋ
– Argh, it's frustrating! I'll just sing it. I'm the one who shines on stage right now! Arghh!
– Don't you see that this is the big picture that makes you watch episode two? Moondae-ssi is serious about the program.
– If he hadn't eaten one chicken foot, could he have sung all of verse 1?
– I wish you could sing even one verse right now ㅠㅠ Oh my gosh, Moondae-ya.
A delayed donation appeared on the screen.
#I love your voice!
Comments flooded more due to the mild donation, contrary to the current comment atmosphere.
"Thank you. I'll do my best. Uhm, come to think of it, the remaining donation questions—."
Park Moondae quickly looked through the questions again, capturing "self-introduction" and "the secret to singing." And he thought.
'It was rather fortunate that I didn't have enough time.'
In fact, Park Moondae was delaying the answer to the next donation by wasting time with songs on purpose because it was difficult to answer the question.
First, self-introduction—he had nothing to say because he came into someone else's body.
This is because he didn't fully understand the background of 'Park Moondae.' Moreover, the background he had already grasped was quite dark.
The secret to being good at singing was more difficult to say.
'Can I say the system window helps? That sounds crazy.'
Park Moondae finished his judgment in an instant and continued.
"First, let me introduce myself."
At that moment, the screen turned black.
[The live is over]
The broadcast time is over.
– ?
– What?
– I think it's over?
– The production team ended the broadcast altogether
The remaining viewers were confused but soon understood the situation and started laughing.
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– In the end, I can't hear the self-introduction—.
– I feel like I just watched Mukbang in the advertisement.
– It's been a while since I had so much fun.
– No, I mean, Park Moondae is really funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ A comedian in question.
People left comments in the real-time comment box that was still alive.
However, quite a number of people remained for quite a while and continued to leave comments. They were the people who became interested in Park Moondae.
They were very excited to talk about the differences between Park Moondae in the first episode and Park Moondae in the last PR Live.
-But Moondae is really cute— With a face that doesn't seem motivated like that, he eats well and sings well ㅠㅠ. He's the best even without tricks.
– He has a trendy face, so once he gets his finishing touches, he'll be very handsome.
– Good. I'm going to open my fan account today.
– Where can I vote?
– Idol Inc. website - Stock purchase window. You can get one extra vote per day if you buy the Collaboration Bundle.
– That's a great business skill.
– I gave one vote because Moondae is cute.
In the comments, criticism of the voting method that had risen was continued, but soon the topic returned to Park Moondae's previous broadcast.
– In the meantime, he ate chicken feet so deliciously. ㅠㅠ I ended up going to the link and bought it.
– I ordered delivery now. Thank you, Moondae, I ruined my diet at night with chicken feet.
Then suddenly, a comment said something out of the blue.
– But why am I so familiar with Moondae's eating place? I think I've seen it somewhere
– Huh, really?
– Did you film an advertisement for formula when you were a baby? (Excited.)
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Moondae said he had no experience in the entertainment industry.
– Oh, I found it. This is it. Exactly the same. (link)
The link led to a video of chicken feet Mukbang.
The appearance of putting chicken feet in one bite and chewing them in one bite was exactly the same as the live broadcast they saw before.
It was just a different species.
[A countryside dog chicken feet Mukbang!]
In the video, a big dog of unknown breed was eating raw chicken feet.
The channel name is 'Exploring the diet of mixed breed dogs in the countryside.'
The black fur dog with its pricked ears, wags its tail with a face that looks like it has been pushed back, and eagerly puts chicken feet into its mouth.
Above it, Park Moondae's indifferent Mukbang overlapped on its own.
– Oh my.
At that moment, Park Moondae's first nickname was decided.
– Look at this. They look the same ᄏᄏᄏ From now on, Park Moondae is Moon Puppy. No objection received. (Screenshot of mixed breed dogs in the countryside.) (Screenshot of Park Moondae live)
In the SNS post shared more than 4,000 times, they posted a scene of me in the form of 'Park Moondae' putting a boneless chicken foot in my mouth and a picture of a large dog biting a chicken feet together.
I feel a little upset.
First, it seemed like it worked to change the negative image— by making it feel like something familiar but.
"Moon Puppy…"
I didn't expect to have such an embarrassing nickname at the age of 29.
There have been a few times in my life that I have been told that I eat well.
'I think it's because I'm not picky about food—'
It was simply because I couldn't afford to eat after my parents died.
So I didn't expect such a reaction from eating only a little chicken feet.
"Is it 4th place?"
Shortly after the live, the PR video was uploaded, and the current ranking of the views of my video was in my fingers.
It was even still on the rise. If I did well, I was expected to flip the video of Lee Sejin, the former child actor who came in third place.
I decided to adapt to the situation.
'I'm embarrassed but it's a good situation.'
I couldn't be picky about situations because I could die suddenly at any time. In addition, I feel more curious than embarrassed. So I feel a bit—thankful about it.
'Thanks to it, I am one step away from sudden death.'
I briefly thanked the people who posted SNS posts and those who shared them, and started thinking about the next thing.
Now there was one near problem.
How will my editing come out in the second episode that will air soon?
In particular, the platinum grade on the grade evaluation came to mind.
'Even if the editing is a little sloppy, I think there will be a response like 'He should have received it, but Park Moondae the one who received it'.'
I turned on the live-streaming window on my smartphone, feeling a little nervous.
Still, episode 2 was good because I didn't shoot unnecessary reactions. Thanks to that, I was able to get a beer can as well.
[Relisting! Idol~ Inc.!]
When I heard Youngrin's voice in the beginning, I sipped my beer slowly. And focus on the content.
"…."
By the end of episode 2, there were two cans of beer next to the smartphone.
I drank my last beer and thought.
'I think it was fine?'
The production team also carefully edited my grade evaluation.
I made sure again through the judges' comments that I was good at the choreography and that the pitch was accurate, and then they stamped that I was good.
Even the scene receiving the Platinum grade didn't get much attention. They just treated it like 'Of course, a participant who does this kind of thing should get it~'.
They didn't even put the controversy over the judgment at all.
"What are you thinking?"
I can't help but feel the alcohol is in it. I reflected on my editorial direction.
'There is a part—that bothers me.'
They didn't show anything about how I practiced for a week without sleeping.
They couldn't show all the circumstances of the 77 participants, so even if that was the case, it was strange that they had to send out the scene where I asked Seon Ahyun for the choreography.
It also bothered me that they edited it as if they listened to it once and followed the whole choreography.
'Now that I think about it, they put the interviews that didn't make me seem very impressive when I got the grade.'
Hmm, after summarizing it so far, I got a feeling.
The production team seemed to keep pushing the character of 'Park Moondae' in the first episode.
To put it bluntly—the 'Tactless My-Face-Ordinary talented person' character.
Fortunately, thanks to PR Live, Internet public opinion has already given me the image of a chicken feet puppy.
'I guess I would let it slide.'
I checked it by turning on SNS right away. As expected, the people who used a clever puppy gimmick on Park Moondae in episode 2 were the first to win over public opinion.
Fortunately, I couldn't let my guard down. Because the editing could win everything.
'Should I save more puppies?'
Drrrt!
My smartphone rang while I was thinking.
It was Keun Sejin. I felt meticulous from the texting, not messaging apps.
[Moondae, what do you think about watching episode 3 together with our team?]
Do I have to? I immediately started writing replies.
'I'm sorry, but I have work to do then—'
As soon as I tried to refuse with a good reason, I got another text message after another.
[Don't tell me—When Moondae is the only one missing, don't sad things happen? Lee Sejin Hyung-nim said he would come too!]
"…."
Have they all already agreed?
This brat will be the one who told the production team that they watched it together and sent a photo as proof.
The editing direction is already suspicious, but I didn't know what would happen if I was the only one left out.
I change the text slowly.
[Yeah, we should do it.]
Then I got a reply right away.
[ㅎㅎ I knew Moondae will like it too~ I'll see you then!]
"…."
I feel—like I lost.
022
I tried to build up my stamina by exercising and practicing at the same time until the 3rd episode aired.
Fortunately, the qualities of Park Moondae were not at the bottom, so I could follow it exactly as I wanted.
The unfortunate thing is that most of the practice achievements have been filled up to 500 times.
'And I don't think it will be easy for me to quickly level up my stats from now on.'
Nevertheless, it was fortunate that the stat reward would occasionally pop up whenever I achieved success on stage or fame.
Anyway, after spending a full week, it returned to Friday again.
I headed to the location of the appointment around 5 p.m.
It was an officetel located quite far from Seoul's outer station, and it was probably the home of someone from the former team.
And I experience something amazing in the process of coming out of the subway station.
"Excuse me!"
"Yes?"
"By any chance… aren't you from Idol Inc.?"
Someone asked me something like this.
To be honest, the question is just a formality, but that person's eyes were already shining with certainty.
I pondered for a moment, then nodded.
I didn't even wear a mask. Because even if someone takes a picture of me, I would still be in a situation where I would be unable to take it, replace it, and lie about it.
"Yes, that's right."
"Ah, as expected!"
The woman who spoke to me was clearly happy.
"I'm really enjoying it. And you're really good at singing…Excuse me, can I take a picture with you?"
What should I do with this?
At the thought that Keun Sejin could leave photo evidence, I make sure to dress modestly and come out. However, unlike when I was filming, I didn't have any makeup on.
(t/n: 인증샷 means take a photo to prove it happened. For this sentence, it's meant to prove it they really met a celebrity or something.)
I know this since I've taken photos of it before. So unless it's acceptable, most idols' bare-faced photos need to be edited.
'…So, when I take photos during rehearsal, I will sometimes add full editing before selling them because of my conscience.'
However, it was more important not to make noise in the current situation.
"Yes. Can I look here?"
"Oh! Yes, yes, wait a minute—!"
The woman quickly turned on the camera editing app and took a picture together in selfie mode.
It's good that this person understands the importance of morals in society.
"Ah, thank you so much. I will definitely vote, no, I will buy stocks!"
"Ah, thank you."
There's a high probability that she won't do it because she can't even remember Park Moondae's name, but let's say thank you first.
Anyway, because of how this person reacted, everyone started to look at this place. It gradually became burdensome as people passing by began to look at us.
I quickly nodded and said my final words.
"I have something to do…."
"Oh, yes! Thank you for the photo…."
The question, 'But what are you going to do?' seemed to come up at any moment, so I quickly left.
And as soon as I left the station, I bought a mask at the convenience store.
There is nothing to say, even if it is called excessive self-consciousness, and since there has already been a case, I was going to be careful on the way back.
But I can't believe someone recognized me on the street already. Of course, I already knew that season 3 would do well, but it was amazing.
'It would be no joke around the second half of the show.'
The place I'm currently staying in is just a cheap room, so the security was poor. If Park Moondae continues to keep avoiding the full editing, steps may need to be taken in the future. (t/n: 통편집 means full editing or totally removed from the scene.)
As I walked and thought about this and that, I soon arrived at the meeting place. I wonder if it's a newly built officetel because it looks clean and secure.
I don't know whose house it is, but whoever lives there seems to be doing well. I'm so envious.
"Oh~ Moondae really come fast? Come in!"
"H, hello."
When I rang the doorbell, Keun Sejin and Seon Ahyun came out.
"This is the living room~."
Seon Ahyun followed as Keun Sejin guided me. Anyway, it seems like this is Keun Sejin's house.
Well, it's a natural picture for a meeting host to invite people to his house.
I honestly admire the really nice officetel's interior as I look around.
"It's a nice house."
"Right? It would be nice if it was my house!"
"….?"
Does that mean it's not the house he rents?
The brief question ended with Seon Ahyun's words.
"T, thank you."
"…."
So…this was Seon Ahyun's house.
Meanwhile, Keun Sejin was almost lying on the living room sofa, and Seon Ahyun was sitting in a straight position in the corner of the sofa.
I looked at the strange situation where the roles of the host and the guest were switched for a moment, but then I stopped thinking.
So what? Let's just watch episode 3 and then leave.
In the editorial room on the 9th floor of the Tnet building, the production team of Idol Inc. is working overtime today.
"The editing was delayed too much because of the preparation of the PR video live."
"I'm going crazy."
It was somehow a chilly situation because the finished version was just completed a few hours before the airing.
Writer Ryu Seorin thought it was annoying.
'This is why it would have been better if the PR was just outsourced.'
Even if she pushed the ad, she couldn't use outsourcing because it would only add a small amount to the cost of production.
Thanks to this, her schedule, which was barely free because of the youngest writer, became a series of all-night.
In addition, the edited version that she checked while working on the subtitles—was so unexpected.
'Why did they kill the kids and pushed them away?'
Ryu Seorin's own suggestion wasn't properly reflected!
She wanted to grind her teeth, but she was too tired to do it. She even looks pale because she had been up all night for two days in a row.
'It's not like I have any power anyway.'
Still, it was a suggestion for making the program more fun, so it was a shame.
'After seeing the editing direction for episodes 1 and 2, I was expecting a bit.'
She sighed and left the editing room.
She thought about taking a nap in the night-duty room and coming back in an hour before the broadcast.
"It's start!"
"Whoa, whoa! Please our team in this episode! please!"
After episodes 1 and 2 were aired, they were all excited to see about the reactions of their acquaintances, but there wasn't anything useful in those reactions.
– Moondae, would you like chicken feet?
…It was the most memorable thing I had ever asked, and I asked it with a grin.
Anyway, after pretending to listen to it, it was soon airtime.
'It's nice to see it on the big screen.'
I thought casually as I looked at the big TV on the wall that took up a quarter of the living room wall.
"Ah, it's start."
Seeing them sitting on the couch or on the floor with their stomachs full made it seem like they wouldn't get in the way of monitoring, which was also pretty good.
[Since this is the first team match, there must be a participant that you all want to join, right?]
As soon as the words of the MC entered the broadcast, an interview was inserted.
[Cha Eugene: If I can do it with Raebin!]
[Lee Sejin (B): Me? Ah, Moondae will be nice!]
[Park Moondae: Lowered his head.]
"Whoaa, the hyungs are here!"
"Keun Sejin Hyung's interview cut is nice."
"Whoa, I'm talking about you though! But it doesn't appear."
When one of the team members is caught on camera, everyone reacts proudly.
It's so hard to focus on the screen that I'm going crazy.
In the meantime, Keun Sejin burst into laughter. It must be good to come out as Lee Sejin (B) because there is a person with the same name.
"Park Moondae, were you really like that? Hahahaha!"
"…No."
Is that even possible?
Keun Sejin named more than seven people when he should have only mentioned one, but it was clear that only my name was on the air.
Anyway, let's try to stay focused on the screen.
Despite the chatter, the broadcast continued.
[Whoaa!]
[I think our team is good?]
First of all, this team decided to come out warmly at the moment.
They mostly showed each other hugging and spinning, so it looked like fun to be with the pure participants.
Surprisingly, the editorial direction of the other team, which had Ryu Chungwoo, a former national archery representative.
[Lee Dojun: Ah, it's a bit…]
[Park Jeongseop: Of all things, why it turned out like this.]
[Choi Sangjin: It's really fun? (Edited) It didn't feel like that.]
[Ryu Chungwoo: Ah. (Laughs)]
Even though the atmosphere wasn't great, the team quickly got used to Ryu Chungwoo as their leader, but the broadcast made it seem like the atmosphere was bad.
"Uh…"
"Uhm."
They were somehow at a loss to make a comment, and the only thing that came out was an ambiguous admiration. It was a situation where it was hard to like and ambiguous to criticize.
After passing through the formation process of other teams, the next step was the selection song process.
Gold 1, which shouts and presses the panel button without looking properly, came out as a single cut.
"Aah…"
Gold 1 felt the pain as he looked at his dark history. Because he seems to have noticed that he looks like he murmured to himself blankly on the screen.
[I, is it a mistake?]
And the editing that followed—wasn't serious.
An interview with the team members came out along with the funny drum and twang BGM.
For reference, Ha Iljoon is Gold 1 and Kwon Heeseung is Gold 2.
[Lee Sejin (B): Did you see our faces? Just like this!]
[Kwon Heeseung: What…should we do? Pfft…]
[Seon Ahyun: (Laughing and shrugging)]
[Ha Iljun: I'm sorry… Pfft…]
[ Into A New World / MallangDalkom ]
The panels flashed in the background like a joke.
…And here, for some reason, an interview with Park Moondae appeared.
[Park Moondae: I liked it. (Thumbs up)]
A subtitle appeared.
[Fan's heart wins everything—! ]
The living room erupted with laughter.
"Ahahaha!"
"Hahaha, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard—!"
Even Lee Sejin is holding back his laughter because his face turns red.
"Pft, is that real? Did you really do that?"
"…I just said I liked the team."
"Ehem, ah~ Really? Thank you."
Keun Sejin laughed and got stuck on the sofa.
While I…just put a chicken in my mouth.
'Let's not get involved.'
After that, even practicing choreography and getting feedback from the trainer through trial and error were set up in a way that wasn't too serious.
[Let's do it like this!]
[Hmm, okay.]
This is because the moderately gloomy early practice was edited as if they were working hard with nothing happened.
When the choreographer was angry, the first tense background sound came out.
[No one sees… What are you going to do?]
After that, a series of personal attacks were sent as it was, with huge subtitles and words emphasized.
"It's really strong when you hear it again."
"I'm just telling you now, but I was really scared."
"Ung, it looks like it."
"Yeah. You too."
When the hardened faces of the team members were shown on the screen, sincerity went back and forth like a joke in the living room.
Fortunately, the scene with Seon Ahyun and the choreographer didn't focus on me. Instead, it mostly showed Seon Ahyun's shocked reaction.
And at an unexpected time, an unexpected scene came out.
[Do you feel tired?]
[N, no…]
In one scene, I talked to Seon Ahyun while he was being edited by the kind of 'Seon Ahyun participant who couldn't focus on practice.'
It was the conversation where I used the characteristic 'When I heard it, you're right.'
Even the timing wasn't right. That was after deciding how the conversation would go.
"H, huh?"
"What is it?"
Seon Ahyun was embarrassed, so he dropped the chicken he had been eating. I was a little puzzled, too.
'That's what I said when the main camera was all gone and only the camera installed in the corner turn around.'
I didn't expect it to be used on the broadcast. However, the camera was fixed, so it felt like it wasn't recorded.
Thanks to that, the conversation sounded a little more sincere.
[D, do you really think I, I can do well…?]
[Why would I lie?]
[….!]
When the emotional editing was added, it almost looked like a boy manhwa recruit.
I became confused.
'No I mean, it's good that they edited it well, but—.'
It was a random choice, considering how the production team has been building up my character since the first episode.
Did they just decide to replace it quickly?
Meanwhile, Park Moondae on the screen said "that line" while the beautiful BGM played.
[Just think 'I'm going to make this happen'.]
And the living room rang with a reaction.
"Oh~"
"I'm going to… make this happen?"
"This is how Moondae usually thinks, kyaa~ Quote!"
Let's just… ignore it.
In the midst of teasing, whether it was booing or admiration, the broadcast showed a short interview with Seon Ahyun.
[Seon Ahyun: T, t, thank you…very much.]
[Seon Ahyun : (I will)…work hard. I, I was thinking like that. I, I have to do it.]
Even though Seon Ahyun doesn't have a lot of energy, he is very loyal. I greet him immediately.
"Thank you."
"Uh, uh… N, no, thank you…"
"Ah, it's heartwarming."
"That's right."
While Seon Ahyun, who had been taken out of the conversation, was embarrassed, the cut that was being arranged with Mudie's advice finally showed on the TV screen.
[Guys. Let's set the direction first.]
Yeah, it was the most important here.
023
Keun Sejin led the arrangement meeting. And I got a fair amount of it.
[Kwon Heeseung: It's a relief that Keun Sejin Hyung-nim is the leader, well!]
[Ha Iljun: He is definitely a friend with leadership.]
Given how the interviews for Gold 1 and 2 turned out, it seems that the production crew purposefully pushed Keun Sejin's leadership.
"Oh, thank you, everyone~."
"If you're thankful, talk about me in the next interview."
"Me too!"
"Ah, of course~."
And in contrast to Keun Sejin's relaxed expression, another participant was staring at the screen in the living room.
I glanced at Choi Wongil.
"…."
Choi Wongil, who was quiet when he came to today's meeting, now had a tense look.
Indeed, how would the production team edit Choi Wongil's argument about me?
From my point of view, it would be fine as long as I didn't come out like I was trying to start a fight. Because in fast, if it's not that, I don't even care at all.
However, the editing also went in an unexpected direction.
They completely edited Choi Wongil's argument.
[The idea is good, but if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be like trying to make fun of the original song?]
Furthermore, Keun Sejin's rebuttal to my words was cut off.
Instead, the figure of Keun Sejin, who raised his head seriously, appeared.
[I've been thinking about it, but I think— there's a way to go strong while keeping the original song's sensibility.]
And it immediately connected as I gave my opinion.
'It seems like they don't need Choi Wongil's story.'
In order to keep the dramatic flow of the arrangement, the ambiguous argument in the picture was edited into nothing.
'Come to think of it, they just skipped it when we changed the parts at the beginning.'
Choi Wongil seemed relieved, but well, I don't know if that's the case.
In the end, Choi Wongil didn't get any good cuts until the very end.
Even at the very least, the interview did not come out well.
Maybe there wasn't much to write about in the interview because he complained a lot about parts and arrangements.
Anyway, that was probably good, and the important thing was my editing.
Just then, Park Moondae, on the screen, finished what he was saying with a faint smile.
[Let's mix it with horror.]
[…!]
Then, they did close-ups of each team member to show how surprised they were.
'…I think that's too much?'
If anyone saw it, the edit seemed to show that I had come up with a unique idea.
There was even another interview.
[Ha Iljun: Wow! (Moondae) is saying that!]
[Kwon Heeseung: I thought this was it.]
[Lee Sejin (A): That's… So it's a talent.]
Child actor Lee Sejin's words sounded somewhat bitter. But more than that, I couldn't believe this guy had this kind of interview.
Thanks to this, there were a lot of jokes and boos in the living room, and people shot each other with cheesy interviews. Lee Sejin kept his mouth shut and looked at the screen steadfastly.
When Keun Sejin's interview came out, everyone started to laugh.
[Lee Sejin (B): Moondae is really funny, isn't it? (Laughs) No, it's so funny to have an expression like a Tibetan fox and explode with ideas, really!]
In the background of Keun Sejin's words, 'Park Moondae' was cut and edited to react to all kinds of situations.
[I, I… I… W, when I was young, I had an accident…]
[What should I do…]
As the general public felt sorry for it, Park Moondae's face began to close up.
"…."
As far as I can see, it's calmness itself.
And the subtitles that come up.
[Park Moondae: (Nod–ding).]
"Ah! That's right!"
"He was really like that! Hahahaha!"
And in the trainer's harsh criticism scene.
[This kind of review is a compliment you should get at a talent show on a school trip.]
[….]
Park Moondae's calm face was seen among the team members who bowed their heads and bit their mouths.
[Park Moondae: (Ca–lm.)]
That's right.
In any situation in which other participants are restless.
Park Moondae was alone and had the same cloudy eyes.
"Hahahahaha!"
"That face! So funny!"
"…."
Only then did I realize that I had lost.
I was alone among the over-action participants, so it didn't look calm, but it—looked like something was wrong with my mind.
'I didn't mean to curse the production team.'
I reflected on myself alone, avoiding the hands of Keun Sejin, who laughed like crazy and hit me on the back saying sorry.
In later broadcasts, the arrangement process went smoothly, which wasn't meant to be a short spoiler.
[Lee Sejin (B): We will do well!]
[Park Moondae: …Fighting.]
I don't know why I shouted "Fighting" so uninspiredly—.
And it wasn't long before the stage started.
The team members, who had been making a lot of noise, quietly focused on watching at this moment.
I looked unfamiliarly at the face of 'Park Moondae' with stage makeup. I can't believe I'm that guy.
[Whooo—]
Soon, a gloomy prelude flowed along with the introductory choreography, and the performance unfolded in earnest.
And each time the part changed, the shocked faces of the other participants who were waiting were inserted. Oh my.
It was fortunate that the stage didn't feel like it was cut off due to the effort put into the editing.
'Hmm.'
Anyway, the stage surely came out well.
In particular, I could see Seon Ahyun flying like a fish in the water. It was to the extent that the main dancer looked like Seon Ahyun, not Sejin. (t/n: 물 만난 고기 means a fish that met water or is in your comfortable field. Or in other words, when you are good at something, you feel very comfortable doing it.)
'I think Seon Ahyun's ranking will go up.'
The next good thing to see is Big Sejin, and the rest of them did their parts well.
Surprisingly, Lee Sejin didn't look awkward because he used his facial expressions well.
When Choi Wongil appeared in the center of the chorus, the choreography made it seem like the cut went to Seon Ahyun, so it seemed like he had lost a bit.
And for me…fortunately, the bridge part came out well.
[Can't You feel me?]
This line was followed by two or three reactions that overlapped.
'…I think it's almost like a troll song?' (t/n: 돌림 노래 meaning troll/round. But the meaning is a method of singing, in which two or several teams sing a song repeatedly in the same order, with a certain time gap.)
I feel thankful, but at the same time, the intentions were questionable.
'Isn't it going to be a gimmick of a tactless talented person again?'
So when the trainers' dialogue was inserted in the bridge part reaction, I was suspicious and looked at the screen.
[Mudie: Was that Wongil's original part?]
[Jeok Taesong: Really?]
[Mudie: Yeah. Wongil said he couldn't do it, so (Moondae) gave his own chorus part and rearranged (by himself).]
But I didn't expect to save this story here.
In addition, when I heard the trainer's conversation, it sounded like I did a good thing and swapped parts with Choi Wongil.
Well, the result is correct.
Mudie even came out with an interview cut.
[Mudie: Moondae is surprisingly soft-hearted.]
[Mudie: But he has a strong voice!]
Thank you.
Even if the character is the same, "Tactless but a good kid" is better than "Tactless and crazy kid who makes me mad."
If I could avoid the sudden death, I thought I should repay the kindness by sending red ginseng.
The stage ended with an enthusiastic response from the audience shouting for an encore.
[Encore! Encore!]
And the image of the team hugging and celebrating was also successfully aired.
"We were awesome."
"Honestly, it's my stage, but I liked it even when I saw it."
"Agree."
The conversation of happy former team members filled the living room with meaningless applause.
Since it was me, I only talked about my part, but in reality, the team members received the part relatively great.
Thanks to this, the living room atmosphere was still harmonious.
I don't know, but I think there are a lot of participants there who feel like they are in a house of mourning.
For example, Ryu Chungwoo's team came out after us—was at the level of wanting to pay a silent tribute.
Here are some parts of the subtitles.
[Choose the best song selection?]
[ .ver]
[Team members who can't stay focused on practice.]
[Leader Ryu Chungwoo's struggle to fight alone]
The finishing touch was an interview with Ryu Chungwoo, who seemed to be having a hard time.
[Ryu Chungwoo: …I have to do it.]
'Wow, you sent it right.'
Even though I already knew it wasn't to that extent, it made me feel bad watching it.
The guys on our side saw it, and they talked so much and said everything that they ended up sounding like they were sympathizing without realizing it.
"Hey, what about them?"
"Chungwoo Hyung had a hard time. Huh. still.."
To summarize roughly, it was a picture of Ryu Chungwoo completing the stage and enduring it with the rest of the team, who didn't have any skills but were displeased.
"Chungwoo has a good personality, but… hey, he looks like a saint."
Gold 1's shaky self-talk accurately explained the editing composition accurately.
Anyway, the broadcast even showed that we easily beat Ryu Chungwoo's team.
[The score is… 82 vs 401!]
[Whoaaaa!]
It was a cut that was especially good.
Regarding individual voting, it was edited in a weird way that made Ryu Chungwoo cheer for his individual vote.
[Ryu Chungwoo: I think I still lack a lot.]
[Park Jeongseob: Honestly, shouldn't we win (individual votes)?]
[Lee Dojun: The person who led the team is responsible…]
Well, it was nice and clean that our team didn't even mention individual votes.
It was a complete victory for the team, both on the scene and in the broadcast.
When episode 3 was over, the entire team fell to the floor and sofa here and there.
"Wow… This is fast."
"I thought I was going to die of nervousness!"
"I, I was scared."
Even Seon Ahyun talked about it.
Everyone seemed to have used up a lot of their mental energy.
Keun Sejin lay down on the sofa and said.
"Ah, that's a strange thing to say— everyone worked really hard. Hey, watching the show, everyone was so good!"
"Keun Sejin, you did a great job too~."
"I'm glad it came out well."
Gold 2's eyes flashed with anticipation and left these words.
"Our reaction is really good, right?"
And as if someone had granted a wish, the word came true.
It was WeTube that the first reaction appeared as an indicator.
The stage video of 〈 October 31 〉, the team that Park Moondae belonged to ranked 9th in the real-time popular videos.
The comments were crazy.
– From the arrangement to the stage's control, everything is amazing
– Such a precious stage in the shabby RII;;
– Everyone, this is the stock that will rise right away.
– What? Vampire? Just wait, I'll drive the blood donor car
– I've organized the names! 0:12 Seon Ahyun, 0:21 Lee Sejin (B)…(More)
– Octobers let's debut like this ㅠㅠ
– Looking at the preparation process, everyone was so pure and so cute ㅠㅠ. Is the stage and gap true story?
As soon as the broadcast was over, similar recommended or liked articles were posted one after the other or shared 10,000 times.
[Idol Inc.'s performance reinterpreted the debut song of a girl group.]
[Participant team who made art with MallangDalkom.]
[Idol Inc. episode 2, likely to change the ranking]
Even after coming into contact with Idol Inc. on this stage, the viewers slowly started to flow into it.
– I saw the vampire concept stage, is it Idol Inc.'s new season?
– I thought it would be ruined, but what happened to the stage quality?
– I've never liked idols, but how do I vote for this? ㅠㅠ
That's why I was able to see a strange article that said they liked this team by gathering it all together.
– It would be nice to debut like this!
– The kids are taking turns voting occasionally ㅠㅠ Ah, why aren't they in a group already!
Some KPOP reaction channels moved quickly as well.
It was a response that compared the stage of MallangDalkom's original song to the stage of October 31's arranged version.
[WOW! It's like, one of a kind, right?]
The video was re-uploaded on the reaction translation channel with subtitles, which keeps bringing in people from domestic and overseas.
In this process, the frequency of mentions of team members in related communities such as SNS has also increased overwhelmingly.
It was at the level of crustal movement.
The finishing touch was when MallangDalkom put a video of his reaction to this performance on WeTube.
[Idol Inc. topic stage! Did MallangDalkom watch it directly? October 31's 'To the New World' reaction video]
The members of MallangDalkom, whose heyday passed and their group activities ended, were continuing their lives in the position of SNS celebrities, except for one member who succeeded as an actor.
Two of them have a mutual understanding and have joined the trend by creating a WeTube channel.
And just in time, they didn't miss out on this hot content related to them.
So, except for one member who was busy with the actor's schedule, all of the members sat down and watched October 31's arrangement version.
"Whoa~"
"Ah, this is the difficult part."
"The person who sings Yueun's part, Seon Ahyun-ssi? Now it's my stock."
"Oh~ the main vocalist is our fan! Park…Moondae-nim!"
"Thank you~"
The reaction began with a formal exclamation, was followed by an appreciation for the details, and ended with praise for the participants.
"Ah! Dry flowers on the costume!"
"They put it in each flower that is our symbol. Wow…"
"They're very detailed."
Of course, everyone was shocked when the bridge came out.
"They raise the key like this?!"
"It's one key!?"
"Wow, that's so cool…"
"They must be our real fans."
And the meeting ended with people crying.
"N, no, why are you crying? Why am I crying?"
"Ah~ They did so well, I think we were very moved."
The members who were crying and fanning their hands slowly opened their mouths.
"Our… fun B-grade concept received more love than it deserved. But originally, the debut song was like this."
After making their debut as a flower fairy, MallangDalkom made a comeback with the so-called 'sick taste' concept. (t/n: 병맛 means something like terrible.)
So there was a meme that became famous on the Internet at that time.
– A flower fairy with X flower on their head ㅋㅋ
It was the day they wore hairpins that symbolized their flowers on the 〈POP CON〉 stage.
Someone made that comment while comparing the captured photo with the photo from the first album stage.
"Actually, we… it's true that we were loved more because people liked our debut song and the gap, but it's still a little…It was too bad."
They also had good feelings rather than bad memories about the terrible cutie concept that brought them back to their heyday.
But that didn't mean they weren't sad at all.
"We were able to come up with various concepts…"
There was no one who couldn't be hurt by the constant ridicule.
So, they were deeply moved by the participants who took a serious approach to their debut song, which had not received much public attention.
"Thank you so much. MallangDalkom… Uhm, thank you for portraying the innocent concept nicely!"
"Yes. The reinterpretation is really nice. Vampire… If we get a chance too! I really want to try it."
It was also impressive that they liked the stage, which had been reinterpreted in a great way without harming the feelings of the original song.
They ended the conversation with a slightly tearful voice.
"Really… It was a wonderful stage. We will all buy stocks!"
"October 31 fighting!"
"Fighting~"
As the captured version of the video was uploaded to the community and SNS, the number of views of October 31's stage video rose sharply once again.
And before 4th episode came out.
Individual fancam videos of all team battles were released first.
024
It's about time.
I turned off the comment window of October 31's stage video that I had been watching.
First of all, the results after understanding the whole situation…
'It's going so well that it's scary…'
Indeed, there was no other way to express it.
From the number of views to the comments in the article, the numbers easily exceeded five or six times that of other teams aired in the third episode.
Ryu Chungwoo's team had an increase in buzz in a different way, but it seemed they also gained some benefits from it.
Anyway, if there was no twist here, it seemed I could pass the second round smoothly
Therefore the next shoot was more important. Now that I realized the power of editing, I should be more careful.
Then let's take a look at the things that will help with the next shoot.
I put a new search word in the search window.
[Park Moondae's personal fan cam]
When I searched, the official video with the posting date '1 day ago' appeared first.
I waited a day to watch it so that I could objectively look at the feedback.
Then. The number was more than expected.
[View count: 320,000]
Considering that dancing was not my strength but instead just an addition, it was higher than I expected.
I saw other participants in the recommended videos below.
"30,000, 120,000, 7,000, 20,000, 60,000… Hmm."
Only a few of them had higher numbers than me. No, in the first place, most didn't even exceed 50,000.
In terms of the number of views, I was probably within the top 12.
Considering that the stage had already been unveiled, it was a great achievement.
'But substance is more important.'
I sorted the video comments in order of recommendation and went through them.
– Look at Park Moondae's expression in all his parts, he's born to be a genius idol ㅠㅠ
– I'm surprised that this kind of concept fits well
– Popcorn, chicken feet, and even horror. Is Park Moondae a god?
– Thank you for the bridge, I've lived a good life
– Moondae-ya is a fan of MallangDalkom, so when their song got picked he got excited all alone, that's so cute!
The last comment is a bit… There seems to be a misunderstanding, but since it's taken well, let's just think of it as a compliment.
Other than that, most of them were compliments.
When sorted by the latest order, I could see abusive comments, but even those comments disappeared as if they were being swept away by the late comments.
This time, I searched my name on SNS. 'Park Moondae' and 'Moondae'.
Posts with videos and images immediately filled the screen.
– Moondae is so cute (Personal fancam gif)
– How did you come up with horror there ㅠㅠ With his skill, talent, personality, and sense, our Moondae is a trinity idol ㅠㅠ
– Park Moondae is good at singing, but I don't know if he's that outstanding, though his face is my type. (Photo from the production presentation)
– Moondae Moon Puppy, eat well and please be nice (Photo of photoshopped Mukbang puppy)
I was a little embarrassed because it was overflowing with appreciation for all sorts of things.
Face, voice, facial expression, shoulders, eating behavior… There was even an article saying that they liked a cute habit of mine that I didn't even know about.
I rubbed the back of my neck.
I was a little embarrassed, but… it didn't feel bad. I was grateful and I felt strangely motivated.
Of course, this wouldn't be the whole of Internet public opinion.
I was lost in thought.
Let's see. If you transform 'Moondae (문대)' in a way it won't be caught up in the search…
"Hmm."
I put in a search word without much thought.
[Gommeo (곰머)]
It was a simple modification by turning 'Moon (문)' upside down and changing 'Dae (대)' into a similar notation.
Things like this were the standard while I was selling data, so my guess was probably right.
As expected, the results poured out.
– Gommeo is so damn ugly, can't even dance to Pop Con ㅅㅂ where is the editing ㅋㅋㅋ, I really hate it, diediedie
(TL note: ㅅㅂ is Korean slang for swearing.)
– Honestly, there's no good main vocalist in Idol Inc., so aren't you just pushing Gommeo with clenched teeth? The sound is too much;; typically fabricated innocence… Whew.
– It's obvious that Gommeo's concept is being a fan of MallangSweet∼
– I want to see Gommeo's chest. He should expose it in the next stage.
-That ordinary Gommeo ㅋㅋㅋ? He must have washed dishes while in the trainee camp~ I can bet my account, he's so fake that I can't even look at him
There were a lot of malicious comments without filters.
Oh, even though I prepared my heart, it was still shocking.
There was something weird in the middle, but… It looked like sexual harassment, so I guessed they didn't want it to get caught up on the search.
Interestingly, quite a few of the accounts that posted the malicious comments chose Cha Eugene's photos as their profiles.
It was probably because he was the most popular participant, so it was set as a check, but some of them were probably real fans.
And it seemed to create a strange tension.
The atmosphere where the participants who performed together in the first team match were attacked by the participants of other teams.
It was not particularly surprising because it was a trend that was always observed in this type of audition program.
It was also something I experienced myself when I sold data.
They buy the data of the participant that they root for and want to discard the data of the participant they want to keep in check.
And speaking of it, it seemed that Cha Eugene and Park Moondae belonged to opposite camps.
"It's a side effect of the team's performance that went extremely well."
Anyway, I put up with it because it was bearable.
Rather, I had to see if there was anything to extract from the malicious comments.
'For now, there is no need to talk about the song.'
Since there was an objective stat for it, it could be verified as the broadcast progresses.
The next thing that comes up a lot is… My character.
The character concept was mainly meant to be contrived and unlucky, but those who criticized Park Moondae's appearance had reactions like 'that sort of concept with that face? ㅋㅋ'.
No, if my face doesn't work, I shouldn't have a concept character…
I'd never liked the editing direction, but now I felt a little bitter.
But I soon realized that it was an unnecessary feeling.
'If it's just the face. I can construct it.'
The next shooting would be the ranking announcement.
Compared to the upcoming fourth episode, the filming period was about a month away.
This meant that if my appearance changed even if just a little, it would be enough.
"Status window."
I put my points into my visual stats without hesitation.
And after thinking for a while, I took out my smartphone, opened the group chat, and posted a message.
[Does anyone know a good salon?]
Since we're doing it, let's do it properly.
A few days before the 5th episode, the ranking announcement ceremony aired, there were all kinds of rumors in the related Internet communities claiming to be ranking spoilers.
[Saying a spoiler about the ranking]
: This is from a staff (Unclear photo of the set)
1st place Cha ㅇgene
2nd place Ryu Chungㅇ
5th place Kim Raeㅇ
6th place, Seon ㅇhyun
Child actor Sㅇin is out of the top 10 because, during the shooting, he has been dragging his feet and struggling while filming.
– It seems fabricated, but I wish Lee Sejin fall down soonerㅋ how dare a useless child actor crawl into an idol survival showㅎㅎ
└I got the pdf,
└Yes ㅋ just take it ㅋ
– As expected, Cha Eugene is in the first place.
– I'm jealous that Ryu Chungwoo gets to be in 2nd place thanks to editing.
└You bastards, don't pretend it's fabricated, it's disgusting
└There's a photo proof, isn't it real?
└It's an old photo. It's stolen from another behind-the-scenes picture that was uploaded last year.
└Omg…
In this way, the manipulation was discovered, and eventually, the text was deleted.
The production team tried to block the spoiler with all their might, and with half-luck, the effort was successful.
Thanks to this, right before the 5th episode of the ranking announcement ceremony began, viewers were sitting in front of the screen full of excitement.
Here, a woman sitting in front of her desktop felt the same way.
She prayed with her hands together.
'Please, Moondae's stocks…'
On the desktop's minimized tab, Park Moondae's fancam, which she took at the production presentation, was being uploaded.
Yes, she was the owner of the cannon camera which was hooked on Park Moondae while watching the first team match as a spectator.
She had completely become a fan of Park Moondae through PR broadcasts and the main program of the broadcasts.
She even settled down as a home master by posting the pictures she took.
(TL note: home master = refers to people carrying cameras and taking pictures and videos while following idols' schedules. Sometimes shortened as homma.)
And today is the day of the ranking announcement. She thought nervously.
'There's no way that Park Moondae would have fallen. However, once he gets a high rank here, his recognition as a top rank will definitely be solidified.'
It was the reality that the latecomers were beaten everywhere since it was difficult to climb through the concrete floor that had already hardened.
'So the first ranking ceremony is important.'
She thought as she wrote to her account via her smartphone with one hand.
FullMoon Baby
: I uploaded a fan cam of Park Moondae's production presentation. (WeTube Link)
#ParkMoondae #ParkMoondaeStockPurchase #IdolIncMoondae #MoonPuppy #Moondae
It was a post attached to the production presentation fancam that was uploaded just before.
As soon as it was uploaded, the number of shares increased steadily.
'Good.'
She looked at the phenomenon with proud eyes and immediately added a promotional phrase.
– Please show a lot of support for Moondae! ? (Link to purchase stocks of Idol Inc.)
After posting, the last commercial slowly passed by.
The broadcast would start in five seconds.
She looked at the logo on the screen with her feet shaking.
[Re-listed! Idol Inc.]
Soon the screen changed, and a brief trailer was sent out to raise expectations.
[30th place contestant, 20th place contestant… Who is the 49th contestant who will make it to the last place?]
The images of several participants bowing their heads, biting their lips, and bursting into tears quickly passed by.
It was a stimulating edit that created a lot of tension, but she was not in the right mind to care.
Just now, Park Moondae's cut was captured…
His hair, a new hairstyle with a soft perm…
"B, Blonde."
She uttered the word blankly, and once again realized the meaning of the word, she covered her mouth with her hand.
'Moondae is blonde!'
In reality, the hair color was was less extreme and closer to a golden brown, but it looked really good.
It fits him incredibly well and looks cute!
It was an idol's virtue to have dyed hair that fit well and Park Moondae had that virtue.
It was clear that God was pushing him to be an idol no matter what.
As she updated her SNS timeline with trembling hands, similar words were pouring out.
– Crazy
– Omg blonde
– Have I gone crazy
– Moon Puppy, you decided to kill me today… That's for sure…
– The puppy is perfect ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– In fact, it is an established theory in the academic world that he'd been dying his blonde hair black until now. Anyway
Park Moondae's fans continued to pour out painful comments.
In fact, Park Moondae's cheerful investment in his visual stats played a big role in these impressions.
However, as everyone firmly believed that the change in hairstyle also brought about a change in appearance, it passed naturally.
Because that one cut came out so well, the binge-watching went on for quite some time.
[Production of PR shows]
When all the small behind-the-scenes productions were over, the PR broadcast preparation filming started just before the ranking announcement.
On the screen, the participants were shocked by the MC's announcement.
[For the next 15 minutes! Find the treasure ball!]
[What?!]
'I was a little curious about this.'
She came to her senses and refocused on the broadcast.
She thought it would be nice if it could shed a little light on how Moondae chose chicken feet.
[Yay!]
[Yeah! Gold!]
However, on the screen, it only showed the participants flocking around for a long time to find the balls.
'What? There's not enough footage of Moondae.'
Park Moondae's fans complained that the production team had no sense.
Even the viewers made unexpectedly similar remarks.
– The story of chicken feet doesn't come out until the end?
– It's like he just screwed up and made chicken feet
-ㅋㅋㅋ
But these reactions changed quickly.
It was because Park Moondae suddenly appeared in a quiet restaurant where there were no people.
-?
– Why is no one there
– Why is Park Moondae alone?
Park Moondae, who entered the restaurant, gestured behind his back.
Then a few heads crept out from behind the door.
[Lee Sejin (B): There's no one here, right?]
[Park Moondae: Yes. Let's go.]
[Ha Iljun: Okay!]
The viewers were more confused.
– What?
– How come they're the only ones there
– Do they have benefits?
Even the subtitles incited confusion.
[How can these people be here…?]
– No, that's what we want to ask ㅋㅋ
– Tell me!
The screen captures a brief glimpse of the three participants scouring the restaurant quickly and accurately.
And with a swish, the scene was rewinded.
[◄◄◄]
And click.
[AM 09:30 Treasure hunt begins]
The screen resumed as the participants ran out to find the treasure balls.
However, this time, it showed Park Moondae's movement.
[Going to the back door?]
Sejin Keun and Gold 1 unilaterally followed, but with the camera caught it from a distance, it looked very natural.
The three of them immediately started looking for the ball behind the back of the participants.
– ㅋㅋㅋㅋThat's
– That's awesome
– Wow. He came up with that in such a short time
– I think the idea is really good
– Park Moondae's personality is annoying, but let's admit it. He is talented. That's why it's even more annoying
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋCorrect
The three worked well together and when they heard the sound of other participants coming, they immediately shook them off and moved to another place.
The viewers were amazed, and Park Moondae's fans liked it more.
– As expected, our Moon Puppy is smart
– They all moved their body so they made steady progress. As expected of October
– But Moondae found so many balls so why is it frozen food ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
'That's it.'
Park Moondae's home master clicked the heart on the most recent post and quickly concentrated on the broadcast again.
And she confirmed the scene.
The scene where Park Moondae, who smoothly collected the balls, received one bronze ball from Seon Ahyun and handed over all of his balls.
025
Seon Ahyun accepted the balls from Park Moondae with a frozen face.
His interview was inserted shortly after.
[Seon Ahyun: A-Actually, I-I'm not good with instant food… I can't eat it.]
And like a flashback, a video taken with a fixed camera was briefly broadcasted.
The figure of Seon Ahyun, who had his head down on the bed because he was not feeling well, was faintly seen in the light of the thin bathroom.
[Park Moondae: Are you okay?]
[Seon Ahyun: I-I am okay…]
[Park Moondae: Wait a minute.]
Park Moondae went out of the dorm.
And after a while.
[Participant Park Moondae brought digestive medicine.]
He reappeared with subtitles.
In fact, this happened during the early evaluation.
At that time, Park Moondae was actively using the characteristic 'Sleeping is dying' so he wasn't sleepy at night and had relatively enough time.
Thanks to this, he could afford to respond to the voice of conscience in return for the chocolate that Seon Ahyun gave him.
For reference, Park Moondae had completely forgotten about this when preparing for the PR broadcast.
Seon Ahyun, who wasn't aware of that, said in an interview with an apologetic and grateful expression.
[Seon Ahyun: H-He might have been afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat them… so he changed it.]
[Seon Ahyun: T-Thank you, Moondae-ya.]
[Park Moondae: (Nodding his head)]
Of course, Park Moondae's cut was from an interview that had nothing to do with it.
But on the outside, it looked quite heartwarming.
– I never imagined this development
– What's this, chicken feet is actually good
– Is he actually shy?
– I'm starting to warm up to Moondae ㅋㅋ
The general audience was like this, so the fans added.
– Moondae is easy to misunderstand because he doesn't do any tricks, but in fact, he's the type to take care of those around him
– Our puppy… He's a real puppy
– Moondae, aigoo, you pushoverㅠㅠ you picked chicken feet well but why did you have to give him all of yoursㅠㅠ
– The flower crown was picked by Moondae
– Moon Puppy is so sweet
Park Moondae's home master was naturally happy with the favorable editing and response, but she was also a little anxious.
'What if they're selling out his personality?'
The personality appeal was perfect for a backlash.
This was especially the case towards the second half of the program.
They had to drag a participant down to make room for other participants.
Personality appeal could be destroyed just by a minor report of immoral behavior in school days.
And there were quite a few other participants who had already uploaded their graduation photos.
'Come to think of it, there's nothing known about Moondae.'
Is it because he's such a quiet student?
She imagined Park Moondae sitting on the pavilion on the top of a rice field, wearing a straw hat with an indifferent expression.
'It suits him…!'
It was originally common in the early days of becoming a fan to have symptoms where it felt like that person would make a good picture wherever you put them.
In the meantime, various participants were shown preparing for a PR live in the broadcast.
From Kim Raebin, who picked an electronic piano and made a theme song for Idol Inc., to Keun Sejin, who promoted a sneaker by performing an idol random play dance.
There were a lot of funny scenes.
Focusing on some of the top participants, it also briefly shed light on the situation of the participants who failed to bring a ball.
[If you don't have a collaboration item, then our program! Please promote Idol Inc.!]
Of course, most of them did not make it to the top 33 and barely managed to continue the broadcast for 10 minutes.
There was no way it would be fun to have a dozen people running the same boring content at the same time.
And it briefly shed light on the participants who promoted unusual collaboration items, and Park Moondae, of course, came out here.
The scene where Park Moondae set down the chicken feet and sat down was even perfectly subtitled.
[Park Moondae (Chicken feet lover) A.K.A Mukbang's New Star]
[Cha Yujin: It was really incredible.]
The reaction of Cha Eugene, who watched with his mouth wide open, passed briefly.
Her timeline was once again plastered with the word 'cute'. It also included her own writings.
– Mundae is so cute, breaking the chicken feet ㅠㅠ
The preparation process for the PR broadcast ended moderately warmly as if the live had ended well.
It passed as if the fact that some participants accidentally revealed other participants' secrets or talked about sensitive problems that occurred during filming never happened.
Even though two people voluntarily dropped out after being harassed on the Internet.
As long as the program was on the track for popularity, there was no need to unnecessarily reproduce the controversy of the participants on the main broadcast.
Because they had already guessed this would be the case, the majority of viewers were sarcastic and criticized it once or twice before focusing on what happened next.
It was the long-awaited announcement ceremony for each team's individual competition.
[Everyone! Do you remember the reward for the participant who won first place in the individual voting of the first team match?]
[Ah…]
[1st ranking announcement ceremony, these people passed!]
On the screen, several participants murmured, 'I wish it was me' could be seen.
And after the MC added unnecessary words with his flamboyant skill, he called the winner of each team.
Of course, the majority of participants tried to pretend to celebrate.
[Wow]
[Congratulations!]
In particular, Ryu Chungwoo's team members, who were controversial, tried not to look offended when Ryu Chungwoo was announced as number 1.
However, in the broadcast, it was aired in a strange atmosphere again.
[…]
[…Oh.]
[Congratulations!]
[Yes, thank you. You've been through a lot… Sorry.]
[…No. What.]
'It's such a shame that it's like that.'
Familiar with this pattern, she was rather antipathetic to the editing.
Perhaps regular viewers of survival show felt similar emotions.
Of course, the winner of first place in Park Moondae's team 'Oktober 31' was also announced.
[October 31's No.1 is… Congratulations! Participant Seon Ahyun!]
[…!]
The team members of October 31 who surrounded Seon Ahhyun were surprised.
[Oooh!]
[I knew Ahyun could do it~]
[Congratulations!]
[Great job.]
[T-t-thank you…]
It was an appropriately harmonious show.
'Thank God!'
She was relieved but also felt a little sad.
'I thought Moondae could have won it.'
She knew that there was no real merit in receiving that, and she knew that it could get him attacked for no reason, but it was still disappointing.
A similar outlook came out of her SNS timeline.
– Congratulations, Ahyun~
– It's a bit disappointing, but I like Moondae's heartwarming response
– Blonde Moondae appeared for a long time! Ahhㅠㅠ I'm so happy
– Everyone did well, so it's not weird no matter who won itㅠㅠ
– Moon Puppy, you did a great job∼
Maybe if she did a more blatant search… She could find this reaction quickly, too.
– The arrangement and the mental care were done by Moondae, but Seon Ahyun just ate them raw ㅋㅋ Ah, my love for humanity is shattered~
(TL note: eat raw = produce results without effort.)
Of course, there were some malicious individual fans.
Fortunately, thanks to Moondae's new visual as he gave congratulatory remarks on the screen, the topic quickly shifted.
She quickly captured and uploaded a close-up shot of Moondae.
– I don't know who did it but thank you so much for Moondae's blond hair… (Capture photo)
On the broadcast, the MC was saying something meaningful again.
[By the way, what would happen if a participant who was originally rejected passed?]
[Oh…!]
[Ah, no way]
[Everyone, the participant with the lowest score will be eliminated!]
For reference, she wasn't interested at all while watching.
'Please don't call Moondae quickly…!'
She was just nervous, hoping that Park Moondae would be called in the second half.
[Let me announce the 47th-place contestant.]
She was thinking of making a sales video for WeTube while the bottom ranks were passing by, but she couldn't get her mouse to work properly.
'Why am I so nervous…!'
When she finally couldn't stand it and brought her soda and sat down, the announcement finally entered the top 30.
After that, it cut up again in the middle and proceeded with the boring drink PPL content.
'Not even a single cut of Moondae came out…!'
This was because he hadn't touched the drink since he almost spit it out, but that was something that viewers couldn't have known.
It was only around the time of the announcement for the 31st place that an interesting scene finally came out.
[31st place is Kwon Heeseung!]
He was a participant on October 31 alongside Moondae who was referred to as Gold 2.
Among the people who came out to the podium to greet him, Park Moondae was one of them.
[Congratulations.]
It was very cute that he gave an awkward high-five with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, the MC made a joke that didn't even make sense.
[You're the first member of the October 31 team to advance to the next broadcast! Is that why the number is 31?]
[I think so!]
Starting with Kwon Heeseung, members of October 31 began to be called to the podium from time to time.
After Choi Wongil and Ha Iljun (Gold 1) were announced in the mid-20s, they weren't called for a while.
Then came 13th place.
[Congratulations. 13th place is… Participant Lee Sejin! Oh, there are two of them!]
Lee Sejin and Lee Sejin reflexively raised their heads, one smiled shyly and the other returned it with a firm expression.
[Among the two of them… It's Lee Sejin (B)! Also called Keun Sejin! He was the leader of October 31.]
[Ahaha!]
Keun Sejin smiled excitedly and gave a handshake to Lee Sejin who received it reluctantly.
After that, Keun Sejin went up on the podium with cheers from the participants who pretended to know him.
[Wow! 13! It's exactly like our team. It must be fate.]
Keun Sejin made a joke according to the situation.
He climbed up after neatly expressing words of encouragement and sincere gratitude.
Moondae is in the top 12!
She swallowed and waited for the next announcement.
Since Park Moondae didn't have a known presence before the first episode aired, this alone was a tremendous achievement.
[The participant ranked 11th… It's Seo Hyuncheol!]
And Moondae's name was not called until the 11th place.
It finally reached the number that could be counted with fingers.
10th, 9th….
[The participant in 8th place…Oh, it's the participant who performed MallangDalkom's song in the first team match.]
'Done…!'
She relaxed her shoulders and exhaled her breath.
He probably would call Moondae. She thought of it almost like it was a foregone conclusion.
First of all, child actor Lee Sejin had overwhelming recognition in the beginning, and Seon Ahyun had a very good index thanks to his last stage.
She thought those two would be called after Moondae.
[This participant showed unexpected charms…]
After taking turns illuminating the three remaining October 31 participants for quite some time, the MC continued.
[It's participant Lee Sejin!]
[…!]
Lee Sejin stood up with a stiff face.
Seon Ahyun and Park Moondae, who were still in their seats, gave congratulation as if out of habit.
[Congratulations.]
[C-Congratulations…]
[Thanks.]
Lee Sejin smiled faintly and gave an awkward greeting on the broadcast.
And she shouted with her voice.
"Ooooh!"
The responses on related communities were also exploding.
– What?
– Omg Lee Sejin
– I thought he would be in the top 5
– 8th place?
– Although there was a rumor about his personality, I thought he would maintain the rank by coming out as a hard worker
– It's pretty close, how interesting;;
– It seems the other participants are pushed out of the rankings?
Lee Se-jin bowed his head and left the podium with a short and bold remark, 'Thank you, I will do my best.'
She grabbed her mouse.
"Then what is Moondae's rank?"
