56 – 15 years old (11)

The first trainee who was upgraded to Tier 1 entered the Tier 1 class room.

The first trainee’s T-shirt had a large number 4 on it, meaning 4th tier.

In other words, it means that the trainee has risen from Tier 4 to Tier 1 at once.

” Hello! I’m Seungah Lee!”

Lee Seung-ah seemed to take a deep breath to avoid showing off his joy, but he couldn’t hide the smile that leaked out of his face.

After Lee Seung-ah, trainees who were upgraded to Tier 1 came in one by one.

Two 3rd tier trainees and two 2nd tier trainees.

The trainees who didn’t come in as much as I thought.

It seemed that the trainers’ evaluations were strict.

The existing Tier 1 trainees were relieved.

” A total of 18 trainees are currently in the Tier 1 class room.”

” How many of the existing Tier 1 trainees can maintain the final Tier 1?”

” Naeun Kim trainee? “

Her older sister was startled by her sudden call.

” Yes? “

” How many of the existing 13 players do you think will be able to maintain Tier 1?”

Naeun unnie said while looking around her.

” Everyone is so good, I think all 13 of them can stay like this.”

” Yes? But not all trainees can maintain Tier 1. “

” From now on, I will call out the names of the trainees who have been downgraded.”

Moon Jin-Woo held up the notification ticket and spoke in a quiet voice.

” The first trainee excluded from the final Tier 1… “

” Trainee Jeong Eun-ah. Please come forward.”

Unnie Eun-ah forgot the choreography while filming the video evaluation.

Eunah unnie was the first trainee to be downgraded among the tier 1 classes.

Eun-ah went forward and received a notice with a new class room written on it.

After receiving and opening the notice, Eunah seemed confused, but Trainer Jinwoo Moon said calmly.

” Please go to the class room where it is written.”

As Eunah unnie left the class room like that, Trainer Jinwoo Moon called out one by one.

” Trainee Cha Hee-hyun, please come out.”

Heehyun unnie, who was the most insecure among us.

” Yu Yerin trainee. Please come out.”

And during her vocal lessons, Yerin unnie kept pointing out that her pitch was unstable.

It was an atmosphere where three of the existing tier 1 trainees left and the situation was over.

But Trainer Jinwoo Moon pointed at me with a solemn atmosphere.

” Trainee Lee Do-hee. “

…Can I go too?

” Yes…? “

” Yes, trainee Lee Do-hee. “

I got up and went forward.

Trainer Moon Jin-woo twitched his lips and said, unable to hold back his laughter.

” No, I’m not asking you to come out… Just go in.”

What is it?

When I went back to my seat, Jinwoo Moon continued to speak.

” Trainee Lee Do-hee. How many of the final tier 1 trainees can stand in the center on the stage of the title song?”

Ah.

” There is only one person. “

” Yes, that’s right. Among the 1st tier, there is probably only one center that will receive the most spotlight, right?”

” We will start the selection process for the center from now on.”

” Everyone, please create a 1-minute performance according to the MR of the title song ‘I fell in love’ within 1 hour. “

One hour…?

…It’s ruined.

” The center will be selected by trainees’ vote. “

***

I sat quietly in my seat and the older sisters around me were staring at something.

I was staring at Seoyoon unni just now, blankly.

Seoyun unnie looked at me and said.

” Dohee, don’t you knit?”

” I have to … “

Is this the pain of creation?

I can’t think of anything.

Everyone is obviously doing something.

Creating choreography, composing rap lyrics, and trying to compete with vocals.

Of course I could rap or choreograph.

I thought that would be insufficient to become a center.

I feel like I have to show my talent, not my skills, to be selected as the center.

Only 40 minutes left until the stage.

To be honest, there is one thing that comes to mind.

I don’t want to…

But I want to do the center…

But I hate to do it…

The center wants to…

I don’t know if I can become a center, but if I don’t do this, at least I won’t be satisfied…?

Isn’t it?

I don’t know, I want to be a center…

***

Me on the stage of a 1-minute creative performance while the trainees were watching.

Unlike usual, I had pigtails.

Ah.

Is this right…?

I don’t know…

The MR of ‘Fall in love’ started.

I looked at the audience and poked both cheeks with my fingers and said.

” Sisters! I want to be a center!”

And flying hearts to the audience.

” Please vote for the youngest Dohee! “

I started dancing vigorously to the tune of MR, according to my taste.

The best I can do…

And during the powerful dance, repeating kisses, hearts, and winks with a sad face…

” Cheerful idol season 3 everyone, fighting! I love you~ “

After the stage, I returned to my seat in the audience.

Kim Seo-yoon saw my blushing face and laughed.

” Oh, don’t laugh.”

” Ido Hikki “

” What.”

” I’m so happy.”

” Don’t do it. “

” The youngest Dohee hahahaha. “

” Don’t… “

” Oh, that’s funny.”

” Please don’t… “

What is the center…

I just shouldn’t…

Fortunately, I was selected as the center in the trainee voting that followed.

The next day

Today is the day when there is a participant profile photo shoot.

The production team renovated a large practice room and turned it into a profile filming location.

After receiving makeup from the stylist and changing into the outfit I was going to wear on the stage of the title song, I looked at the numerous props on set and was contemplating which props to wear and which poses to pose.

” Oh! Isn’t that the youngest Dohee?”

Seoyun unnie came to me with a selfie camera.

It seemed like they were filming for behind the scenes.

I can’t say anything because I’m in front of the camera.

I said while covering the camera.

” Don’t film.”

” Oh, maknae Dohee, why are you grumpy?”

” Oh, little.”

I don’t know if it’s Seoyoon unnie, but now Naeun unnie as well as all the unnies I became close to after practicing for 5 days all call me Dohee, the maknae.

There is a wonderful word called center.

f*ck.

” Dohee trainee, I’ll shoot once I’ve decided on the props.”

” Yes~ “

I moved to the profile shooting site where all sorts of lights were shining against the pink background.

My prop is a bit obvious, but it’s an ion sweatshirt.

I stood in front of the camera and made a refreshing pose and a refreshing expression suitable for the props.

” Ah, doesn’t it feel like youngest Dohee?”

f*ck.

Now the production team too.

” Trainee Dohee, you know the feeling I showed on stage yesterday, right?”

I want to say no right away, but.

I’m just a trainee… I can’t help it…

” Yes… “

He smiled and took a cute pose.

” I like it~ It’s cute!”

***

Just like that, it took one week from the selection of the center.

It’s been two weeks since the first recording.

After two weeks of filming, interviews, profile shooting, and practicing for the title song stage, the trainees came to the Olympic Gymnasium early in the morning to film the pre-recording of the title song ‘I fell in love’ for Mpulse, a music broadcast aired on Mwave. .

The big stage you can see as soon as you enter the Olympic Gymnasium.

Between the colorful purple and blue neon lights, there was a star-shaped stage that glowed white.

And among them, the center seat that shines.

It feels like my heart, which has been devastated by all sorts of insults, is melting away.

I approached Seoyoon unnie, the starting point of all my insults, and whispered in her ear.

– This is the center Kim Seo-yoon. –

” Kim Seo-yoon? Don’t you call me older sister?”

– This is the center. –

” Whew… “

Of course, the reason I whispered was to not show off my joy to other trainees.

The title stage to be aired on Mpulse as an Ep.

Each shot captured by the camera could change the ranking in the early stages.

In the midst of this, the title song stage was strictly ranked by tier.

First-tier trainees, starting with the center, the center of the stars and the most advanced.

And as it spreads, there are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th tier trainees.

When I finally reached the 5th tier trainee, I had to perform under the star-shaped stage.

Of course, the somewhat vicious arrangement was natural since the first episode was focused on the trainee’s tier.

That’s why the trainees who were assigned to the lower tiers couldn’t express their dissatisfaction, only making expressions of dejection and shrinking.

The trainees changed into t-shirts with tiers, not costumes for the main stage.

It was a costume for the behind-the-scenes version.

” I’ll go up on stage first from Tier 1!”

The staff shouted loudly.

The arrangements are finished one after another.

” Let’s go to the rehearsal! “

***

After rehearsal for about 3 hours like that, it was time for a break and lunch.

Pizza of a famous franchise has entered PPL.

” Masher. “

” Wow, it’s so delicious.”

We finished our meal with the best possible reaction while being conscious of the camera, and we started the rehearsal again.

Of course, the rehearsal for the main stage hasn’t even started yet.

” Hey… When will it end…”

” Wow… I really feel like dying.”

” Me too… “

Perhaps it was a large stage with a large number of people, it took a year to fix a single point to be fixed.

However, the staff only shouted ‘Smile~ Take care of your expression!’ To the struggling and dying participants.

If it wasn’t for the air conditioning in the gym, all the contestants would have been sweaty and a mess.

Just like that, the rehearsal practice of 3 hours in the morning and 5 hours in the afternoon was over.

” Everyone has worked hard! Now, I’ll change into costumes and go do my makeup before the main stage!”

All the contestants got off the stage, changed their costumes, and moved to the hallway where the make-up room was located.

Although there were only three makeup rooms, it was not enough to accommodate 99 participants at once.

Inevitably, most of the participants had to sit in a row of chairs in one of the makeup rooms and wait for a long time.

Before starting makeup in earnest, the stylist asked me.

” Does Dohee have an image you want to do? “

” Something cool…?”

” Eh, but you have to match the concept, then I’ll take care of it for you.”

” Yes… “

The teacher put various things on my face and drew a satisfied smile.

” How are you?”

Certainly, the expert’s touch is amazing every time.

I gave a thumbs up.

” Very pretty. “

” Okay, so I’ll get my hair done soon? Is anyone else waiting?”

” Yes~ “

The teacher gave her hair a moderate wave with a straightener.

Where is it that is not a double-headed hair?

***

The practice continued over and over again.

Of course, the difference was that it was not just a rehearsal, but a rehearsal for the main stage.

I don’t think it’s just a pun, but…

After the rehearsal for the main stage, finally! This shoot.

Contrary to the expectation that this filming will be completed in one shot, it seems that I can easily go over 4 times with just this filming.

I don’t even remember how many times.

” Ending fairy~ Ending fairy~ Look at the camera! Make a pretty face~ “

An ending fairy scene filmed after every song.

I filmed this scene for 10 minutes while standing still…

Especially since I’m the center, it’s obvious that I’m going to come out unconditionally, so I can’t just skip it.

The winking eyelids trembled and the smiling face seemed to twitch or cramp.

The PD gave an OK sign.

” Yes, it was great! Everyone worked hard~ “

The production crew applauded and cheered the participants.

It’s finally over… Ha.

The staff gathered the participants before the filming was over.

Main PD Lim Hyun-woong took the microphone.

” Everyone, you’ve worked really hard. There must have been many moments where you really wanted to give up over the past 2 weeks, but I want to say thank you to all of you who didn’t give up and worked hard. You know what’s going on, right?”

“”” Yes!! “””

” Yes. We will start filming again on June 3rd, the day after June 2nd, when it aired. Let’s see then. Thank you all for your hard work. You have to rest hard for two weeks and practice hard again. You know?”

“”” Yes!! “””

I don’t even know what the PD is saying.

For now, I just call out to you by inertia…

It’s finally over
