Damn Idol Episode 17

Blue must have read the absurdity in my eyes, and shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s because I’ve seen so many people like that. Well, I guess not you.”

“I will be more careful about the areas you are concerned about.”

“Okay, that’s enough. “I saw the mission in advance, so I’ll just cover it up and trust it.”

“thank you.”

“Yeah, Taehwan said you haven’t selected a song yet, right?”

“yes. “I’m thinking about it.”

“What do you think, Shion? “What do you think would suit Taehwan if I sang him something?”

You said you were going to speak naturally, but why are you asking so openly?

“hmm… … . Personally, I have a natural sense of rhythm, so I think it would be good to do it with a singing rap feel.”

“Singing rap? “He’s not a rapper?”

“I wasn’t asking you to rap, but I wanted you to sing a song that shows your sense of rhythm. Like contemporary R&B or trap house.”

“Then what about Tropical House?”

What I felt while monitoring music so far was that K-pop is surprisingly good at accepting subgenres.

This is probably a trend that occurred as the industry grew and collaborations with overseas composers became more frequent.

But I don’t know why, but K-pop really likes deep house.

Among them, I especially like the subgenre Tropical House.

No matter how much tropical house is danceable and easy to listen to, this is at the level of obsessive insanity.

“Tropical house is good, but I think the two-four rhythm suits it better than one-three.”

After taking a sip of water, Blue glanced at Koo Tae-hwan and asked.

“Sion says yes, but what does Taehwan think?”

“… … I’ll try my best.”

end?

I tried my best to tell you, but I feel lost.

Well, I guess it might be unfamiliar.

When I did the pre-mission, it seemed like he liked ballads with a cheerful feel, but it was far from the two-four rhythm typical of black music.

When I didn’t say anything more, Blue didn’t add anything either.

After finishing the meal, we went back to our respective practice spaces.

The choreography is a bit unfamiliar, so I think I need to get a feel for it and show it to the trainer.

Oh, I also have something to ask the arrangement team.

As Blue suggested, it is an original song without any arrangement, but there is just one thing to do.

While I was watching a YouTube video with that thought in mind, I heard a knocking sound.

When I opened the door, it was Koo Tae-hwan.

“I tried selecting some songs based on what you said.”

“uh… … . yes.”

Did you decide to take my advice because you couldn’t find anything to choose?

I was embarrassed, but since the camera was rolling, I didn’t show it and received the song selection list.

Not bad, right?

I felt like I understood the advice correctly.

“I think it’s good.”

“Could you please narrow down my options?

“then… … This and this. “Wouldn’t one of the two be okay?”

“I’ll try my best.”

That’s how Koo Tae-hwan disappeared.

Why do you keep trying?

I think he’s a bit of an unusual character.

After that, I danced in front of the choreography trainer.

“Oh my god, you dance so well?!”

It received rave reviews.

No, but is it really that surprising that I’m good at dancing?

“I thought I couldn’t dance just by looking at the pre-mission. “Talent is usually put to one side.”

“I’ll try my best.”

“But the motion base is locking? Can’t do waacking or voguing? “I think it would go well with a girl group song.”

I’ve never learned waacking or voguing, and they don’t suit the stage I thought they would.

The choreography trainer licked his lips in disappointment at the appropriately worded answer.

“Well, I don’t have time for that. Anyway, I don’t think there’s anything I can fix. Good, hey.”

“I’ll try my best.”

“Why do you keep trying so hard?”

Wait a minute, this is Koo Tae-hwan’s way of speaking.

It’s really an unremarkable sentence, but it had a strangely addictive feeling that was unique to Koo Tae-hwan.

‘Effort’ falls from F to E, ‘I will’ raises the scale to GA, and ‘I will’ lowers the scale again to create a decisive feeling… … .

What am I doing?

Anyway, this is the problem with regressors.

When you get out of a state of emotional overload, emotions spill out in some way, as if there is a law of emotional preservation.

It seems a bit high now.

I was so dumbfounded that I scratched my head and came down to the practice room, where Koo Tae-hwan was waiting.

While practicing, something got stuck.

What is a tiger?

“What exactly does it mean to have a good sense of rhythm? Does this mean you keep the beat well?”

“no. “Everyone can match the beat if they work hard.”

Honestly, if a person who wants to become a singer can’t keep the beat, it’s not okay.

“sure?”

“Isn’t the sense of rhythm something you’re born with? “This has to do with the length of the sound.”

“length?”

“When you sing the lyrics ‘Cause i want you’, the introduction is ‘Cause’, right?”

“yes.”

“Here, regardless of whether or not you sing the word ‘curs’ exactly to the beat, how much of the ker, how much of the uh, and how much of the zu you sing is a matter of instinct, right? “It’s also about personality.”

Koo Tae-hwan muttered Cours a few times and then nodded.

“You mean I like that?”

“Rather than saying it’s good, it’s about being attractive. So just keep the beat of the bars and sing the progression as you like. “Maybe it’ll be good?”

That’s why I recommended black music with a two-four beat, rather than traditional pop music with a one-three beat.

I tend to use laybacks more freely during the two-shot rhythm.

Gu Tae-hwan, who was thinking deeply, nodded and said.

“I’ll try my best.”

Okay, this is it.

This is the original taste.

No, but why is this guy really trying?

How can you completely trust the words of a contestant of the same age?

“… … .”

As I stared at him, Koo Tae-hwan hesitated and then opened his mouth again.

“I will work hard.”

Jeongjin starts with D.

After thinking about nothing, I decided to just help properly for once.

Because I still have time anyway.

Koo Tae-hwan is lucky.

When I’m feeling down, they don’t help me like this.

“Would you like to sing a song?”

* * *

The participants of Coming Up Next had different personalities, but broadly speaking, they could be divided into vocals and dance.

The exact number is seven vocals and three dance numbers.

Since all of the people in dance positions were rappers, it could be described as seven vocalists and three rappers.

In this situation, the vocalists all thought they were the main vocalists when they first started filming.

It was not unfounded confidence.

Ryan Enter had a very difficult time selecting the Coming Up Next cast (except for Han Si-on), and immediately selected them solely based on their strength.

I don’t have time to teach because I have to compete with the take scene right now.

So, all of the participants were main vocalists, and even though they had no trainee experience, they were people who had won quite a few awards at local competitions.

Even Lee Ion, whom Han Sion gave a poor evaluation of except for his face, was also the main vocalist.

Although it was a small agency, wasn’t the handsome Mebo a left-handed pitcher who could throw 100 mph crossfire?

Everyone has lived a life that receives only praise.

But their confidence did not last long.

Because of Han Si-on.

‘How do you beat that?’

‘Should I aim for lead vocals…? … .’

If Han Si-on had shown off his overwhelming high notes or skills, the emotion would not have been this much.

However, Han Si-on did not show any special strengths.

I just did a good job searching through the songs.

Much more than them.

So the mentality of the vocal majors was shattered.

“Hey, erase Han Si-on from your mind. Honestly, can you become a successful idol just because you’re good at singing?”

It got to the point where the judges had to cheer up the vocal contestants by saying things like this off the record.

And this method worked.

If you think about it, yes.

The 150 points received for singing 75 points and the performance 75 points are more valuable than the 150 points received for singing 100 points and performance 50 points.

Because he is an idol who needs to be a general entertainer.

Around that time, one of the participants happened to hear Si-On Han’s interview.

“Sion Han, why did you choose the first order? “Isn’t being first at a disadvantage in a contest?”

“I just thought it would be better to get hit first.”

This story quickly spread among participants.

If you think about it, yes.

Why would Si On Han, who is so good at singing, choose the first song?

There is only one.

I am not confident in my performance.

That’s huge too!

So, I feel pressured by the expectations that have been raised based on my singing skills.

“Oh yeah?”

“It’s difficult if you dance too poorly… … .”

“Still, if you’re a vocalist of that caliber, I should at least get you there.”

This speculation was even accepted as established theory by the judges.

Except for Blue, who is planning a twist and has kept his mouth shut.

Thanks to this, the vocal major participants devoted themselves to preparing for the competition.

But what they didn’t know… … .

‘I’m not the right hawk?’

In Han Si-on’s interview, where he said he would be beaten first, the subject was omitted.

Time passes so quickly that it is now 22:00.

The first stage of the contest, which determines the number of team B members, has begun.

* * *

When Han Si-on, who was the first to perform, went on stage, all eyes were on him.

The judges except Blue did not see Han Si-on’s stage preparation.

Participants looked over their shoulders to watch others practice, but Han Si-on was an exception.

After showing the dance to the trainer when no one was around, I didn’t come out of the practice room.

Other than the fact that Koo Tae-hwan came and went to Han Si-on’s practice room several times, everything was kept under wraps.

In this situation, PD Kang Seok-woo showed his sense.

The rule was changed to reveal the contestants’ song selections right before the performance, rather than conveying them to the judges.

The judges also nodded cheerfully when the main producer suggested that they do it to make the program more interesting.

I heard that Kang Seok-woo is not a producer without Jjambap and that he has his own thoughts.

As a result, the judges did not know about the song selection until the moment Han Si-on went on stage.

“Mr. Han Si-on. “Have you prepared well?”

“Try… … “I tried.”

“I’m a little curious. “What kind of song would you have chosen?”

At that moment, information about Hansion’s song selection and song was delivered to the four judges’ tablet PCs.

Thanks to this, the picture that PD Kang Seok-woo wanted came out.

Because composer Lee Chang-jun made a ‘??’ expression on his face and adjusted his glasses.

“is this right? “What song did the Hansion participant choose?”

“really? Why this?”

“uh… … . I have no idea what your intention is. “Mr. Blue knew, right?”

“yes. “I knew.”

“Are you okay?”

“sure.”

Because of this situation, the participants also began to be very curious about Han Si-on’s song selection.

What on earth did you select that made the judges react like that?

Did you by any chance choose a song without dancing?

Or the level of movement?

Producer Kang Seok-woo, who was enjoying the reactions of the judges and contestants, made a gesture and song selection information appeared on the screen behind the stage.

Artist: Way From Flower

Title: Flowers Bloom.

“Eh?”

“really?”

Flowers Bloom is the debut song and title song of the first album by the first-tier girl group ‘Way From Flowers’.

It was a very unexpected song selection.
