80 – 15 years old (35)

Repeated mistakes.

The formation kept getting distorted.

“Eunhee, focus a little bit. The traffic lines keep overlapping.”

My younger sister is trying to point it out.

“Yes.”

Goo Eun-hee only gave weak answers.

It wasn’t just a day or two.

My younger sister talked as if she was trying to change the atmosphere.

“Yes, Eunhee looks very tired. I’ll rest for a while. Everyone, drink some water and go to the bathroom.”

Haa…

“Yeeun sister, let’s go to the bathroom.”

“Huh…? Me? Why? I’m good at it…”

Ye-eun sister was taken aback. She pointed at herself and made a frightened expression.

“No, let’s just go.”

I really just want to go to the bathroom.

“I want to go alone…!”

Eun unnie escaped from the practice room to avoid me.

“No, I just want to go.”

Ye-eun Her older sister was intimidated, but her details and skills have clearly improved compared to the day before, so she has no intention of craving for it anymore.

If you see someone, you’ll know that he’s always bullying you.

As soon as I had no choice but to go into the bathroom alone, Seoyoon Kim ran out and was washing her face at the same time as the break started.

“What are you doing, Seo Yoon?”

Kim Seo-yoon raised her head.

My eyes were watering.

“What is it, did you cry?”

“What, because she didn’t cry?”

Kim Seo-yoon spat out the words in an indifferent tone, as if trying to hide it.

But no matter who heard it, their throats were locked.

“Oh, why is Seoyoon Kim crying?”

When I pressed Kim Seoyoon’s cheeks like steamed buns, his nose flowed out.

“Huh, I’m not crying…”

You should say it while drinking your nose, well.

As soon as it seemed that the stage would be ruined because of Koo Eun-hee, resentment and sadness seemed to explode.

“It’s okay, we’re going to debut, right?”

“You’re not crying?”

“Yes, yes.”

Still, I don’t think we can go on like this.

I have to convince Koo Eun-hee somehow.

***

After dinner.

I came out into the back lot without people and cameras.

“So why?”

Gu Eun-hee, who followed me, sighed as if she was dissatisfied with the situation.

I already hate it, but I don’t want to be the same person.

“Sister, can you please work hard even if you see us? I’ll ask.”

I thought I would understand if I said this, but contrary to my expectations, Goo Eun-hee answered like a knife.

“Sorry, no.”

Are you really crazy?

“Do you know why I applied for the center? To stand out even a little bit. 7 Debutants?”

Goo Eun-hee snorted and continued.

“You and the kids from the 4 major agencies will debut. Can I be among those 7? Probably not.”

As you said, the possibility of Koo Eun-hee’s debut was remarkably low.

There was a reason why most of the trainees did their best in every practice.

It wasn’t a dreamy story like ‘doing your best is beautiful’ or ‘I want to enjoy the stage to the best of my ability’.

Of course, there were some participants who had their intentions in that direction, but the goal of most participants was recognition.

Even if you can’t debut as a girl group in the Jeodol 3 Project, you can increase your chances of debuting when you return to your original agency after dropping out.

The practical reason was great.

“Unnie can also go back to her agency and debut. It’s fine if she’s within the final 24th place.”

Goo Eun-hee said sarcastically to me.

“Dohee, I hope you feel comfortable. If I go back to the agency, I’ll debut anyway, right? But if I don’t debut here, I’ll be released from the agency, you know?”

Come to think of it, according to a participant from the same agency as Eunhee Koo, Eunhee Koo was a trainee who used to get away with her company because of her personality flaw.

In other words, it would be a way for her to debut by changing her agency after she was released, but it probably means that it will be difficult due to rumors and personality flaws.

“But you want me to make it to the final 7 out of 99 contestants? I had no choice but to take over as center and prove it.”

To sum up Koo Eun-hee’s words, it was one in the end.

He means that he will not be able to debut anyway, since he cannot take on the role of center anyway.

Even if I tried to work hard, there was no way or meaning to persuade him since he had already given up on his idol debut.

‘There is one.’

To give up the center.

Is that why you give up the center to Koo Eun-hee?

Four days remain until the main stage.

Since Koo Eun-hee, who was originally lacking in skills, had a chance to make a leap forward in that short period of time, it converged to zero.

In the end, it was obvious that the stage would be ruined one way or another.

“Okay. Instead, unnie doesn’t want to be criticized, so please match the assortment in front of the camera.”

I gave up and turned my head.

But at my words, Koo Eun-hee started shooting at me as if she had dedicated herself to evil.

“You know what? The camera is only taking pictures of the kids who are filming after all? The production team, except for a few trainees, won’t be interested? This is a manipulation, but it’s not manipulation if only the votes are done properly!?

I know.

There were obviously too many trainees.

Me too.

But it was natural.

That’s why I’ve been working hard since I was young, and I’ve accumulated a lot of things, and the visuals, if you put it this way, are superior.

“Yes, it doesn’t matter what the length or the like. Do you know what they ask when there’s an interview every once in a while? Ask only those who have nothing to do with me, you know? If you’re talented like you, and you’re extraordinarily slender and pretty, you’d definitely give it a shot. But while you’re receiving that benefit, don’t argue with me because I don’t practice, okay?”

No matter how Koo Eun-hee looked at it, being an idol was such a job in the first place.

Only those with exceptional or unique personalities are in the spotlight.

What is the difference between saying that you will become a doctor even if you cannot study?

Goo Eun-hee, who had been arguing and arguing for such a long time, had tears welling up in her eyes and burst into tears.

“I know it’s survival! But do you know that I didn’t put in any effort!? I did try too! But what can I do if my skills aren’t improving!”

At this point, I could only feel pity.

Haa…

“Okay, sister. Come in when you calm down. I won’t say anything anymore.”

Goo Eun-hee cries as if she is the main character of tragedy.

I didn’t want to hear that voice, so I left Eunhee Koo behind and headed to the main building where her choreography practice room was located.

It hasn’t been long since we had dinner.

All the trainees inside the main building were practicing individually.

No one put in less effort than Koo Eun-hee.

There won’t be any, even if those who have already been eliminated are included.

***

Dawn after all practice.

A time when everyone is sleeping.

After taking a shower, I got permission from the production team and returned to the practice room.

And for me, a member of the production crew was sitting on the sofa outside the practice room beyond the glass wall.

The production crew on duty had very tired eyes, but they couldn’t help it.

Something that needs practice.

I still think that the details of the center part, which I am in charge of, are lacking.

Even if it’s not perfect, you should try to be perfect.

It’s been a while since I compared my choreography video with the choreographer’s video on a tablet.

The figure of a person who can be seen in a dark place with lighting.

And the sound of trudging.

In the middle of the night, I shuddered at the sudden sound.

The production crew, who were on duty, were also lying on the sofa and fell asleep.

Where I looked outside with only my neck sticking out, Kim Seo-yoon was standing.

‘Oh, why are you walking around at this hour?’

Kim Seo-yoon found me and hugged me with a sly smile.

“My maknae~ Were you lonely because you were alone? Unnie will give you a hug~”

Why is this happening all of a sudden?

I pushed Seoyoon Kim away.

“Hey… Our youngest rejected her older sister and she saddened her older sister…”

Kim Seo-yoon pretended to weep, but it was just creepy.

Why is this for real?

“You got your tongue cut out? Why did you come?”

“Why did you come? I came to practice.”

“The parts haven’t changed, so what?”

“Not really…! I’m not here because I’m worried about you…! I just came here to practice…!”

“Oh, why is this?”

“Heung…! I hate you for not knowing my heart!”

“This is crazy.”

I think he came because he was worried about me practicing alone until late at night.

Still, I don’t really want to look like that.

Really.

***

A gym in Incheon.

From noble mtl dot com.

Early at 6:30 in the morning.

“I’ll open it!”

At the same time as the guard shouted, the guard opened the iron door.

And, even at a rough estimate, more than 200 people stood behind the gates set up in advance by the bodyguards, pushing each other and running to avoid falling behind.

And this woman was also one of them.

As if she had come as usual, she naturally set up her ladder and climbed up to measure her angle of view.

What she was holding in her hand was her expensive camera with her lens sticking out all the way.

‘Huh…Nice got a good spot. It’s not even a music room, so I didn’t know it would be this hard. Certainly, Jeodol 3 is the trend.’

She is a so-called jjiddeok.

She refers to fans who take pictures or videos of celebrities and post them online.

Or so called.

‘Homma’, a compound word of homepage and master, takes various unique photos such as celebrities’ commute to work, airport photos, schedule photos, etc. On my own site, such as Twitter, and sells the photos themselves or sells them as goods or photo cards. A person who makes and sells to the fans of that celebrity.

In addition, ‘Homma’ usually has a celebrity that ‘Homma’ supports, which is usually called the headquarters.

And this ‘Homma’ or ‘Jjiduck’ is her main base is Lee Do-hee.

She wasn’t originally a fan of Lee Do-hee.

She was originally a fan of a girl idol named ‘Minty’.

In the meantime, ‘Minty’ had a controversy over school violence, and it was revealed that it was true, and her affection fell. She heard the news that four major agencies would participate in Jeodol 3, a large-scale event in the music industry, and attended the production presentation in a hurry.

She was thinking of taking photos of popular members and selling them at least as goods.

In other words, what she was trying to film that day was not only Lee Do-hee, the center of the theme song ‘I fell in love’, but all the trainees from her four major agencies.

However, she was struck by Lee Do-hee’s appearance, which suited her taste, and she only took pictures of Lee Do-hee that day.

The pictures she posted on her Twitter received countless RTs, and she naturally became Dohee Lee’s home horse.

And today is the third contest day.

She was lucky enough to win the audition, but she didn’t come just for that reason.

On the way to work for the 3rd contest.

In the 1st and 2nd rounds, the trainees came back from the stage in advance without going to work, but the 3rd round was different.

A place where you can see for the first time the trainees’ private clothes fashion that can reveal their individuality.

‘What kind of clothes will Dohee wear…! A white tennis skirt? One piece? No, I can wear suspenders or something!?’

As Bens from each agency came in one by one, the participants in the 3rd contest of Jeopardo 3 began their way to work.
