Damn Idol Episode 20

It’s a confident face.

Well, it’s worth it.

Since I had ears, I would have been satisfied with practicing.

There is no doubt that it is a song that is not suitable for this idol survival, but Koo Tae-hwan is going to do interesting things from now on.

That is, the speed of the song is increased by 1.8 times.

Yes, it’s my idea.

When I actually had them sing the songs that Taehwan Koo had selected, I felt a little bored.

Still, I liked the feeling of the beat, so I recommended choosing a slow song and speeding it up, and I chose this one.

The result… … .

“Wow, that was really cool. “It’s completely different from what was shown in the pre-mission.”

“At first, the double-speed version was a bit awkward, but at some point, I was completely absorbed in it.”

“Except for the overall sound processing being disappointing, it had enough appeal.”

“Is the choreography in the chorus original? “It suits the song well.”

I received 33 points: 9, 8, 8, 8.

Personally, I hope Koo Tae-hwan joins Team B and takes charge of the introduction.

The introductory part should make you feel hooked as soon as you hear it, and Koo Tae-hwan has talent.

The voice is clear, but if you listen closely, it has a slightly metallic sound.

Well, let’s raise our rating a bit.

While I was thinking that, my name started coming out of Koo Tae-hwan’s mouth.

“So, did a Hansion participant recommend the song selection?”

“Yes, I received a lot of help.”

“How did you get help? “We are the same participants.”

Seeing as the camera is pointed at me, it looks like the next interview will be quite long.

I think I need to talk about my stage, Flowers Bloom song selection, and Koo Tae-hwan.

Well, it’s not bad.

The reason I appeared on Coming Up Next in the first place was to make my name known to the entertainment industry.

* * *

The main character of the tenth and final stage was Onsaemiro, whose singing ability is beyond doubt.

“The beginning was Hansion, and the end is All Saemi.”

“Is it Sumi Ssangwan?”

“Iknow, right.”

The judges deep down thought that On Sae Miro had lost the spotlight because of Han Si On.

He is a talent who would have received greater praise if it were not for Han Si-on.

Her singing skills are real, and her looks are flawless.

If I were to pick a flaw, I would say that my skin was vaguely tanned, probably due to a lot of outdoor activities.

“Honestly, Onsaemiro is more suitable for a boy group melo.”

“That’s right. “I don’t know his personality yet, but he doesn’t show anything.”

On the other hand, Si On Han feels uncomfortable for no reason.

I don’t think he will listen well, and I don’t have the confidence to control him with authority.

It’s not like I’m particularly angry or rebellious… … .

‘There’s a feeling of looking down on people in a strange way. Although I don’t think I’m conscious of it.’

This was the impression of Blue, who had the most conversations with Han Zion thanks to being a mentor.

Nevertheless, all the judges knew.

What if they run an entertainment business and have an opportunity to recruit Han Si-on?

I definitely will.

Even if it’s a poisoned chalice, I want to drink what’s inside at least once.

That’s how much Hansion’s music had the feeling of sucking people in.

“But is there a need for rivalry within Team B?”

Choi Dae-ho shook his head in response to Yoo Seon-hwa’s question.

“First of all, don’t directly compare On Saemi Ro and Han Si On. “I have to compete with the take scene anyway.”

“You’ll still be conscious of it even if you don’t say anything, right? “You may already be doing it.”

“okay. “Then we won’t mention it.”

By the time the judges had decided on the direction of their comments, Onsaemiro came up to the stage.

“hmm?”

The song selection was a bit surprising.

.

Korea’s representative rock ballad that swept the early 2000s and even won the Music Awards.

The representative song of Lee Hyun-seok, who now runs LB Studio, was sent to the judges’ tablets.

“You did this?”

It’s a good song, and it’s a song that has been consistently remade and loved by younger singers.

It would probably be better to call it Onsaemi.

but… … .

‘Is this a good song selection?’

Absolutely not.

Because that Han Si-on performed in the pre-mission was so powerful, it is difficult to use songs in the same category.

This is not to say that Hansion is unconditionally better than Onsaemiro.

Perhaps On Saemi’s may be better than Han Si-on’s .

However, it is not easy for On Saemi-ro’s to beat Han Si-on’s .

Because Han Si-on only sang the first verse.

Originally, humans are animals that imagine the blank space as their most ideal form.

This is why wearing a mask makes you look better than your original appearance.

Because I imagine the parts that are not visible due to the mask as the most ideal form.

In other words, Onsaemiro is not actually fighting under Hansion’s streetlight.

I have to fight against the vague feeling that came to mind after listening to the first verse of Han Si-on, thinking, ‘This is what the end will feel like.’

How good this vague feeling was can be seen in the fact that PD Kang Seok-woo planned to release the music as soon as the pre-mission was over.

‘I like the attitude of wanting to beat Han Si-on… … .’

It seemed like my thoughts had not reached this point yet.

“Participant from Onsaemiro. Are you ready?”

“That’s it.”

“Shall we listen?”

The Onsaemiro stage that followed was good.

The charm of the song Toothbrush was brought to life well, and the high notes in the highlight were quite believable.

But that was all.

I did okay, but I wasn’t particularly outstanding.

There was even almost no choreography, as if to show off proper singing skills.

“I wasn’t disappointed with the excellent vocals, but I felt a little disappointed in the song selection.”

“It is time to think about what kind of charm you have and how to properly show it.”

“I gave up visual enjoyment for the sake of the song. But the song alone wasn’t enough to overwhelm me.”

31 points: 8, 8, 8, 7.

He was tied for 3rd place, following 2nd place Koo Tae-hwan, who received 33 points.

* * *

After the first stage of this contest, CEO Choi Dae-ho nagged me off the record.

They say they don’t show any sincerity, or that they can compete properly with Team A, etc.

But when you look at my broadcast Jjambap, this is on the record pretending to be off the record.

Most cameras are turned off, but the full camera that captures the participants’ reactions is turned on.

Moreover, if you look at the words Choi Dae-ho uses, they do not feel like they are meant to be defamatory.

If it is meant as a slur, Fuck, Suck is the default and often Mother… … .

Oh, isn’t it? Is this too American?

Anyway, I understand CEO Choi Dae-ho’s feelings.

I don’t know much about idols, but overall, there was a feeling that the contestants were floating.

Koo Tae-hwan is the only participant who fully demonstrated his potential.

Perhaps the reason this atmosphere was created was 50% my fault and 50% the abnormal structure of the program.

Coming Up Next is a bit different from existing idol survival programs.

Originally, Idol Survival evaluates participants according to the clear frame of ‘idol’.

It’s not ‘come on, show me what you can do’ like it is now.

It’s closer to ‘This is the track that idols run on, let’s see how well they run.’

However, Coming Up Next is a program with an abnormal structure.

Take Scene should debut, but Team B should stand out more in terms of talent.

As a result, when selecting team B members, the focus is on how good they are at music rather than their role as idols.

It was I who focused here.

Like Onsaemi-ro, everyone seems to have mistaken my appearance as the correct answer.

The whole stage probably would have felt different if I wasn’t there.

Close to the typical idol survival feel.

however.

“… … .”

Something feels a little unfair.

I participated in Coming Up Next to learn about idols in detail, but the performance changed because of my influence.

It will change a bit once the B team members are confirmed, right?

While I was thinking about that, the filming returned to the on-the-record mood.

Blue, who came up to the stage to host, opened his mouth.

“Everyone, do you know where the ‘successful score’ in ‘receiving a successful score’ comes from?”

I know the use of the word, but I don’t know its origin.

Even so, I am an American with a long history.

“It originated in the Joseon Dynasty when the king placed a dot on the candidate’s name when selecting high-ranking officials.”

It is said that the judges also put dots on the names of the contestants.

So, if you get 4 points, does that mean you pass?

Or 8 since there are two stages?

Blue’s next explanation was the former.

“In other words, if you get a passing score from 4 people on two stages, you will pass.”

It’s a pretty generous method.

This means that a contestant who only received points from Blue and Yoo Seon-hwa on the first stage will pass if he receives points from Choi Dae-ho and Lee Chang-jun on the second stage.

The point of this scoring rule is to not lose motivation yet.

If the scores from the 1st and 2nd stages are added up, if you mess up the 1st stage, you are eliminated.

However, the scoring method is a bit different.

In extreme cases, even if you don’t get a passing grade in the first round, you will pass if you get a perfect grade in the second round.

But I don’t know why I used the word ‘low score’.

Doesn’t ‘all pass’ sound better?

Besides, this seems like a hastily made rule.

If it were official rules, wouldn’t there be a need to work so hard on scoring the stage?

After Blue’s explanation was over, questions poured in.

“Can one judge put two dots? “Because there are two stages.”

“no. “You can only give a rating to one person once.”

“What happens if there are more than five people who score 4?”

“The judges will debate. Additional stages may be required along the way. However, if you receive four points in the first stage, you will definitely pass.”

If you receive an all pass on the first stage, you will definitely pass.

I am unconditional, and Koo Tae-hwan also has a chance.

Oh, if the appearance score is reflected, Lee Ion will be able to do it too.

The stage wasn’t bad.

It may be because his voice is difficult to include in a team, but his individual performance was worth watching.

“Now, let’s talk about the team composition for the second mission, which will determine the final number of people.”

Team composition was simple.

1st-2nd, 3rd-4th, 5th-6th, 7th-8th, and 9th-10th places play rock-paper-scissors and are split into a winning team and a losing team.

I thought they would at least play a mini-game to get more airtime, but it’s simple.

As a result, I, who was in first place with 39 points, and Koo Tae-hwan, who was in second place with 33 points, had to play rock-paper-scissors.

As a result… … .

-The winning team.

Si-On Han, Sae-Miro On, Jae-Sung Choi, Seong-Woo Kim, Joo-Wan Shim.

-Jin team.

Tae-hwan Koo, Ion Lee, Hae-un Kim, Seong-il Nam, and Seong-ju Park.

It has become a very ambiguous composition.

“Is there any trade? There are too many rappers… … .”

As someone said, there are too many rappers in .

Among the 10 participants, there are three rappers: Kim Hae-un, Nam Seong-il, and Park Seong-ju.

Everyone is on the losing team.

Even vocalist Koo Tae-hwan sang a song close to a rap tempo on the first stage.

The judges briefly discussed their opinions and then concluded that there was no trade.

Although it is an unexpected situation, they seem to think it will be a good test stage.

“In the second mission, you must cover a song by a senior boy group. However, this time the choreography score will be scored separately, so please be careful when selecting the song.”

The theme of the second mission was a cover song.
