51 – 15 years old (6)

Sighing, Seoyoon unnie took out her pouch from her suitcase and put on makeup for me.

I looked in the mirror and said.

” Hey… Sensei, are you golden? Oh, no. I just like my original version… “

” Hey. “

If I said one more word, it would be correct.

” Okay~ “

After finishing makeup, we headed to Yangju, Gyeonggi-do, where the filming set was located.

When we arrived at the set, the parking lot was full of vans that seemed to have picked up other trainees.

Manager Youngho got out of the car and talked with the staff waiting at the entrance to the parking lot, then went back into the car.

” Guys, it’s going to be a long time until your turn.”

Certainly, since there are 99 participants, it seems like it would take a long time to film just the entrance scene.

I waited in the car for 1 hour and 30 minutes while practicing the song to be sung in the grade evaluation.

Manager Youngho started the car and asked if he had received an autograph from the production team.

” Guys, since we’re filming the appearance, I’m tidying up my clothes.”

“”” Yes~ “””

After exiting the parking lot, the car stopped in front of the building where the filming set was located.

It was like directing a scene arriving at the set.

As soon as we got out of the car with our suitcases, the crew started filming us.

We got out of the car and greeted the camera.

“”” Hello~ “””

” Hello~ Top East trainees. It’s before the first recording, how are you today?”

” I’m so excited!”

” The condition is so good~ “

After a formal interview with the production team, we entered a building following the staff’s guidance.

” Please leave your luggage here and prepare a stage costume~ “

After putting down our suitcases, we took off the coats that were covering our stage costumes.

It was good to wear it in advance.

” We wore it inside!”

After seeing us like that, the production crew came with a microphone, walked it over to us, and attached name tags.

After all the shooting preparations were completed, we moved to the aisle of the set according to the crew’s instructions.

Seoyun unni and Naeun unnie exclaimed as they watched the aisle of the set.

” Whoa… “

Despite the aisle of the set, the interior is already sparkling like a girl group stage.

It was obvious that the money was spent, befitting an all-time high production cost.

From noble mtl dot com.

In addition, the aisles of the set were full of cameras.

I pretended to be ignoring the camera, but then turned my head in front of the camera and pressed my face to the camera.

” If you do this, you will get a cut, right?”

” Oh… I like it?”

Seoyoon unnie followed me and smashed her face into the camera.

Wouldn’t that be a bit burdensome for the viewers…?

Unlike Seoyoon and I, who are busy playing around instead of being nervous, Naeun unnie spoke her words in a pretentious tone, probably because she was nervous and conscious of the camera.

” Seo Yoon-ah, Do-hee, let’s fight!”

Even striking a pose.

“” Ah… “”

We looked at Naeun unnie as if we saw something we couldn’t see.

My older sister blushed as if she was embarrassed.

I have to save him. What can I do?

I said in a pretentious tone while holding Seoyoon’s hands.

” Seoyoon unnie! Our leader Lee Shin Naeun unnie wants to fight, shall we do it quickly?!”

Seoyun unnie, who is familiar with my situational drama, immediately got along with me.

” Oh my! Mr. Dohee! Our leader, Naeun unnie, said to do it, but of course I have to do it!”

The two of us put our hands together and looked at Naeun unni.

” Naeun unni! Let’s all gather, raise our hands and fight!”

Naeun unnie looked away from us, probably because she was too shy.

Even the two of us can do something.

” Top East fighting! “

After receiving a gesture from the production team to enter, we entered the set.

The most famous scene from season 1 and 2 of Jeodol.

Sit in your predicted ranking.

The 99 chairs caught my eye when I entered the set.

Each chair had a ranking written on it and the contestants sat on it.

Since all the seats are already almost full, it seems that we are probably late.

I can’t hear it because it’s far away, but the participants were looking at us and whispering.

He’s probably talking about our agency.

Or do you think of Aeon Sweat while watching me?

I wish it was like that…

Hip

After greeting the participants who had come in advance, we looked around to see where we would sit.

Fortunately, there was a seat with three seats next to each other.

79 80 81.

And the big first place.

The first place seat was empty.

A poisoned chalice that will take care of both the quantity and the insults.

But I just want to sit and watch.

Just sit down?

I looked at my sisters and said.

” Who wants to sit first? “

” You. “

” You sit down.”

I don’t want to sit down.

I said, hugging my sisters.

” But I have to sit with my unnies~ “

I went up the stairs and quietly sat down at 79.

And he looked at the older sisters sitting in 80 81 and said.

” Am I still higher than my sisters?”

“” Whew… “”

The 77th trainee sitting next to me greeted me.

On her name tag, the name of the agency, Anise, and Nam Seo-yeon were written on it.

” Ah! Hello, thank you!”

” You’re the one who filmed the Aeon Sweat commercial, right?”

” Oh, yes, that’s right. How did you know? “

” You’re famous~ You’re so pretty!”

I tried to roll a little calmly, but I kept laughing.

” No~ Seoyeon-nim is prettier~ “

” Really?”

No.

After the greetings, I asked trainee Nam Seo-yeon what kind of people came out ahead.

” The three major agencies haven’t come out yet. It seems that more and more large entertainment companies are coming out.”

Ah…

As we were talking, the logo of Haru Entertainment appeared on the display board in front of us with the words ‘Haru’.

Oh, the big company right after us.

Two people entered the set.

On the name tags, Jeon Ha-rang and Kim Se-yeon were written respectively.

” None of the open trainees came out.”

You’re a non-performance student.

I don’t know if that’s why, but it’s not as pretty as I thought.

Still, since it’s a large company, I wonder if the skills are amazing.

Ha-Rang Jeon, one of Haru’s trainees after greeting, ran to the first place and sat down right away.

” Oh… Cool.”

Is this the ambition of a large corporation?

After the turn of the day enter was over, the logos of ZY, the other three major agencies, appeared on the display board.

And then, ZY agency trainee Yoon Seo-won and Gong Chae-rin.

” Over there, Seowon Yoon is the one who appeared in ZY Diaz’s music video.”

Certainly, that person is as pretty as expected.

” But you know very well?”

” I besides me, the top 3 entertainment trainees must have looked for and came here?”

What is it, did only Top East goof around?

The last member of JY Entertainment, Eunsera.

” He is the strong candidate for the first place this time.”

” Oh, is that so? “

Undoubtedly, Eunsera was very pretty.

Still…

I turned her head and whispered to Seoyoon, who was sitting next to her, so that she couldn’t hear her microphone.

– But you think I’m prettier? –

Seoyoon unnie pushed my face with the palm of her hand.

I put my face back together and whispered.

– Recognized? –

” Little. “

Do you admit it or not?

In the meantime, after greeting Eun Sera, she climbed the stairs.

There is only one seat left, 88th.

Sera Eun did not stop at the 88th place line and continued to climb the stairs.

Sera Eun, who finally reached the top spot, competed for the top spot with Jeon Harang of Haru Entertainment, who was already sitting.

I am full of confidence, probably because they are big entertainment guys.

This is why even if you work as a farmhand, you should do it at the grand director’s house.

The match between the two is rock-paper-scissors.

Of course, it was a disappointing act to climb up proudly, but it was difficult in itself to engage in a confrontation to take away the first place.

Eun Sae-ra, who lost rock-paper-scissors, had no choice but to come down the stairs with a resentful expression and sit in the 88th place.

After all the trainees sat down, the main producer shouted.

” Alright, I’ll enter the MC!”

At the end of the main PD’s words, Jin Tae-seop, a famous announcer-turned-actress who will be in charge of the MC for Jeopardo Season 3, came up.

” Hello, contestants.”

All participants stood up and greeted each other.

“”” Hello! “””

” As expected, like girl group trainees, they are full of energy and very bright. “

” As you all know, ratings are the next step, right?”

” However, before the rating evaluation, the trainee representative will come out and swear an oath to the choosers who will select you. “

” Her Majesty and the trainees sitting in first place. Please come down.”

Is this why the big entertainment guys even had a showdown to get first place?

Because of quantity?

Jeon Harang briskly descended the stairs.

Harang Jeon reached the MC and received a sheet.

And Harang Jeon looked at the MC and production team with a very embarrassed expression.

” You can read it! “

Harang Jeon hesitated at the urging of the production team, and finally let out a small sigh and read the sheet.

” Oath! All of us, Jerkdol Season 3, swear that there will be no manipulation so as not to disappoint Chuseo!”

At Jeon Ha-rang’s words, the set was buzzing.

The production team is doing noise marketing properly. ‘

Seasons 1 and 2 were not punished, but manipulation was certain.

Regarding the production team’s sincerity, mentioning manipulation itself was a subject of great controversy.

Even having Jeon Ha-rang, a large entertainment trainee who would benefit the most from manipulation, read it?

It was to spur the controversy.

To be honest, I wasn’t free from manipulation as much as Top East was involved in the manipulation controversy of Season 2.

It was just buried by the three major agencies.

But is there really no manipulation?

The MC took a deep breath and shouted in a loud voice.

” Literally! No manipulation! “

” You may not believe our production crew! But! “

” We work with Netflix, the world’s No. 1 OTT company! “

” It was decided to air simultaneously with Netflix. “

It was only now that I found out.

” Then how do you vote?”

” Newly introduced Netflix live streaming technology. “

” Any Netflix member can cast 1 vote per 1 account. “

” Therefore, there will be a fair voting process that cannot be tampered with, so thank you for your participation through Netflix! “

It’s only now that I understand everything.

Large production cost and the reason why 3 out of 4 agencies participated.

Jerodoll season 3, which was supposed to air simultaneously with Netflix.

Basically, the Jeodol series was a mega hit in Korea.

Moreover, it is the first idol survival through Netflix, so the topic will double.

What if Idol Season 3 becomes a global hit by any chance?

A survival game where you can never lose money as long as your debut is successful.

The three major agencies must have been confident.

Not only do you trust the skills of your trainees, but there are many ways to support trainees other than vote manipulation.

So am I now recognizing foreigners?

A global stone, right?

From noble mtl dot com.

Whoops!

” I’ll say it again. “

” This opportunity may be the last chance for the 99 trainees who did not reach 100. “

” All you need is the last 1. Vote for Chuseo. Good luck.”

” Please vote for the 7 girls who will be your lucky ones! “

f*ck, what is it?

There were 11 people last season.

Why 7 people?
