Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols - Chapter 128



Only Noblemtl

| Episode 128. 3rd Competition (1)

Compared to Choi Je-ho, who is wrestling with All Over, his training life at Green Line was heaven.

No one noticed that I was a singer from another agency. Thanks to that, I was able to focus solely on practicing.

But since it doesn’t suit my nature to just shamelessly receive, I tried to be as courteous as I could.

First, the company taking care of me is purely a favor, so I will express my sincere gratitude.

Second, as much as Berion respects my minority opinion, I will treat Berion as a colleague.

I decided to keep these two things in mind while I was on the Green Line.

Besides, keeping those two promises wasn’t that difficult.

Because people want to be grateful for what they have received and maintain good relationships.

‘What is this? A steaming pack?’

‘Yeah. I bought it to use at the dorm. Was it Hee-rang? Her knees looked a little bad. I brought this over here so you can use it if you need it since it’s still unopened. My youngest said this product is the best.’

So I give away the extra stuff… … .

‘While selecting songs, I picked out a few that I thought would suit you well. Do you need them?’

‘A song that suits us?’

‘I made a list while choosing the competition songs, but in the end, I excluded them because the colors didn’t match. Instead, I think it would suit them well if they were sung by individuals.’

I collected the songs that were eliminated during the selection process and handed them over. It’s ambiguous to say that I gave them to them since I got them while working.

Oh, I heard there was no first aid kit in the hotel, so I bought one for you.

I never want to see again a place where only children live without any over-the-counter medicine.

Since Beryon has foreign members, I wrote in English about headache, stomachache, cough, and chills in large letters on the poster.

Anyway, that’s all I did.

“Hyung, are you going to sleep right away when you get to the dorm? If you have time, go see Hee-rang. She really wanted to say hello to you.”

“Just eat breakfast and go. There’s a really good noodle restaurant in this neighborhood. Mr. Moon, soybean sprout soup is healthy, so it’s okay, right?”

“Okay, bro, go eat breakfast and go. By the way, while you’re on your way to deliver, can you show me how to select songs?”

Now that the third competition is just around the corner, these guys are not only getting to know me, but they’re also showing signs of introducing me to all the other members.

Aren’t you tired after practicing all night? You have incredible stamina.

And what else? Are you going to eat breakfast?

I may crave noodles, but I’m not the kind of person without conscience to get breakfast from someone else’s agency.

And after practice, you have to hurry back to your dorm. The Spark guys are waiting for you.

“I can tell you how to select songs, but I won’t eat anything before I leave. It’s not polite to have an outsider stay in the company for too long. I’ll have another chance to say hello to Hee-rang.”

I politely declined and quickly packed my bags. All three of them looked sullen at the same time.

At this point, shouldn’t Greenline have added an older person to Berion? It seems like the kids need a helping hand.

With a sigh, he pulled three packets of powdered sticks from the front pocket of his bag. It was the unsweetened powdered basil tea that he often gave to the Spark guys.

I said to Moon Yeon-gyu, handing him a stick of baedoraji tea.

“When you get to your accommodations, drink a glass of this and go to bed right away. The competition is just around the corner, so just try a little harder.”

Moon Yeon-gyu looked moved by my words.

You don’t have to be impressed, Mr. Moon Yeon-gyu.

I just thought that I had to do well because our team center foreshadowed that he would ruin the stage in a bad way… … .

* * *

After many twists and turns, the day of the third competition arrived.

Those who wanted to rest rested, and those who wanted to do whatever they wanted did whatever they wanted, so everyone in Spark was in good spirits. Except for me, of course.

‘Hyung, are the seniors Beryon working only you too hard?’

The dark circles under my eyes were so thick that Jeong Seong-bin asked me seriously. Thanks to that, I got really angry the moment I stepped into the shop’s doorway.

Today, for the first time in a while, I had about half the freedom from planning the costume concept.

Choi Je-ho and Lee Cheong-hyeon will wear clothes that match their units, and I will also wear clothes that matched with Berion.

Instead of having less work, today I put my heart and soul into the clothes of Jeong Seong-bin, Park Joo-woo, and Kang Ki-yeon.

This is a scholar’s hanbok that matches the royal concept and has beautiful colors.

To put it simply, in order to bring out the keyword of a heartless dog, Park Joo-woo wore a light blue hanbok reminiscent of a swan. I also bought a stamp in the shape of a puppy’s paw to make it cute and put it on the sleeves and the end of the overcoat.

We thought about making Jeong Seong-bin wear a gonryongpo since he is the captain of our team, but it was obvious that it would cause controversy over preferential treatment for certain members and lead to another broadcast explaining the situation, so we replaced it with a light pink hanbok.

And at this time, I tried to appeal to the warm and handsome appearance of Spark by adding a pink cheek touch, but… … .

‘Write… … .’

‘Why do you act like a drunk young master who just drank soju for the first time?’

… … And so, I went back to being a fluffy gentleman. It was my fault for trying to emphasize my affectionate side to these guys.

Lastly, Kang Ki-yeon was dressed in a light yellow hanbok.

When I think about my image, I think purple would suit me well, and actually, I’ve worn a lot of dark-toned clothes up until now…

Considering the demand for Kang Ki-yeon’s youngest moments, this time we went with a special ‘Bonus Episode: Ki-yeon from the Chick Class’ concept. It’s a secret from him.

‘Brother, do we not have to wear our hats?’

‘Why are you wearing a hat? It casts a shadow on your face!’

God will be wearing it during the season greetings when the shade is corrected. It is unacceptable for the indoor shooting at Awangsil.

I dressed them in pastel tones and had them sit side by side on the sofa, and it looked like a rainbow cake. I didn’t forget to pin the Asahiwa badge I received from the last competition on their chests.

≫ What do you mean a holiday without Hanbok?

Life is tough

└ If you leave it alone, you will probably wear it once

How many clothes did the Sparklers once wish for?

I’ll dress you up as best as I can before you voluntarily withdraw. Keep up the good work until you’re all dressed up, Spark guys.

While the three non-participants were all dressed up cutely and ready to watch, the three participants were truly three different people.

I wore an explorer-like costume to match the main content of the animation, which is about the main characters going on an adventure.

I’ve worn ties before, but this was my first time wearing a scarf, so it felt very unfamiliar. I asked if it looked too Boy Scout-like, but the stylist, as always, just complimented me, saying that it suited me well.

This time, I ended up taking charge of the introduction, so I had to take care of the props as well.

When I was in Spark, Jeong Seong-bin would usually do this kind of thing. I guess that’s why the fans were crazy about the introduction fairy.

Lee Cheong-hyeon was the black mad dog itself.

Log and I wonder what kind of stage they have prepared. Not only is everything black from top to bottom, they are also wearing a black harness and leg holster.

He even wore red colored contact lenses today. We should let this guy advertise contact lenses.

“What, you guys, an assassin concept?”

“It’s difficult to be surprised to this extent.”

Then Lee Cheong-hyeon shook the object in his hand.

“Is that a gag?”

A muzzle made of leather straps that looked like something a large dog would wear dangled in Lee Cheong-hyeon’s hand.

“You little punk, I told you not to cover your face like that… … .”

“Oh, I know! I’ll take it off after the first verse!”

“If you’re going to take it off, don’t pull it down, pull it up. It won’t hurt your nose.”

Anyway, that guy ended up losing all his coolness. That bastard, he definitely would have said okay if I had done a cyber warrior concept.

Although Lee Cheong-hyeon was a big shocker, Choi Je-ho was even more of a hit.

In a situation where even his hair was set with wax to create a strong impression, the guy was wearing only a see-through top underneath and showed off his solid muscles with an incredibly deep blue crop jacket. I wonder if it is okay to show such a provocative sight to teenagers.

“Your hair color seems to have changed a bit too. Did you have time to dye it?”

“spray.”

Choi Je-ho’s hair glowed a soft purple color mixed with blue under the fluorescent lights.

If you go up on a dark stage, the colors will only come out when you highlight them. Not a bad choice.

After seeing these two guys, I feel like I’m the only one who’s the main character of a peaceful healing exploration game. Rap ​​and dance are really scary things.

Just in case the A-Wang-sil reaction part wasn’t enough, we talked a lot as a group about which unit we were most excited about.

After talking like that for about 30 minutes, the curtain rose on the third competition.

* * *

The first position battle took place in the rap position.

The combination of Sticky and Berion was pretty good.

Both groups chose singing rap songs that portray men who have just fallen in love, seemingly playing to their strengths of brightness and cheerfulness.

Although the tempo is slow, the tiki-taka is good, and the concept is simple, so it has the advantage of being easy to enjoy.

The on-site response was also good. Because they chose a more popular song than typical hip-hop, many people were seen singing along even though it was a rap lyric.

‘Even if Berion is not a moron, he has good planning skills.’

As Spark is pushing the youth concept, Sticky’s consistency in pushing the lovely, cute guy concept also stands out.

The next ones that came out were Parthe and Allover… … powerful.

With her gothic style outfit and heavy makeup, she left a strong impression visually.

That wasn’t all. The chemistry between the members, who had been friends since they were trainees, was also visible on stage.

It was also good to choose emo rap to mix Parte’s mythical imagery with Allover’s dark and radical feeling.

Although the previous stage was up to the standards of previous royal stages, the stage that came next was much more impressive both visually and aurally.

What is this, I should just blame the luck of the draw. What can I do?

If they had done that kind of stage during the second round, both Sticky and Berion would have gotten better results than they did then.

I haven’t been cooking parmesan for a long time.

As expected, he was visibly more aggressive this time around, following his second place finish in the last competition.

Great. This is how viewers will enjoy watching it. If the program does well, Spark will become more famous.

It was great to see the exciting stage, but then I suddenly thought of the youngest member of the team who must be backstage right now.

‘Lee Cheong-hyeon… … I wonder if he can do well?’
