Damn Idol Episode 21

“Then can I change the progression of the song? Like rapping over the vocal part… … .”

“It doesn’t matter.”

The rappers gathered on Team Jin can be seen heaving a sigh of relief.

Well, if you want to choose a song for three rappers and two vocalists, your options will be too limited.

I organized my thoughts by listening to the participants’ questions.

I am a successful candidate without a doubt.

I probably got a 4 on the first stage, and even if I don’t, I will eventually get it.

In that case, what I have to show here is decided.

‘Gap.’

The loopholes must be shown.

In particular, I would like to hear comments that the individual performance was great, but the team performance was disappointing.

If someone were to hear my inner thoughts, they might ask me if I’m crazy, but it’s necessary.

I have experience appearing on numerous audition programs.

Especially now, whenever I wanted to change my environment, I chose audition programs.

There is nothing better than learning culture and building connections and experiences.

What I felt from those experiences was that there was no need to be perfect.

There must be loopholes so that viewers have something to root for, and there are elements for the character to grow.

A perfect contestant in every way?

Of course it’s good.

I would like to do that too if I could.

However, for singers, perfection is a relative evaluation, not an absolute evaluation.

If I keep getting 100 points, at some point 100 points becomes the default value.

After that, if you get 100 points, you will hear this review.

‘It was a skillful performance, just like before. However, it always shows the same thing. I want to see your Plus Alpha in the future.’

This is a review I actually heard.

Even thinking about it again makes me angry.

Even though they sold far less albums than me.

Anyway, for that reason, I plan to relax in the next team mission.

I’m not saying I’m intentionally ruining the stage.

There should be no doubt about the individual competency of Hansion.

However, I have no intention of becoming the center of the team.

* * *

The team members of , which was adopted as the official team name, sat around the table in the conference room.

The table was full of PPL snacks, and although the writers said they could eat as much as they wanted, no one touched them.

I think I need to at least select a song to develop an appetite.

Even more so for those who think they ruined the first round of the finals.

At that time, Choi Jae-seong asked a question to Han Si-on.

Choi Jae-seong was the participant whose voice Han Si-on had heard before but could not remember.

“Hey, do you have any ideas for song selection?”

The eyes of the participants looking at Hansion are full of earnestness and anticipation.

They are also the ones who witnessed what Han Sion did during the pre-mission and the first mission.

So, I was hoping to come up with a great idea this time too.

However, Han Si-on ignored the expectations of his teammates.

“I’ve never performed on stage with others before… … . “It’s a bit difficult.”

“You’ve never done it with someone else? “Never?”

“yes.”

“Sion Han, weren’t you a trainee?”

“no? “I taught myself at home.”

It’s hard to believe that he’s never been part of an entertainment company, but when I look back on Han Si-on’s performances, I think that’s possible.

Hansion’s stages definitely deviated from the framework required by Entertainer.

You’ve covered everything with your skills, but do you feel like you’re quite far from being an idol?

Perhaps because the Hansion cheat key that I was secretly looking forward to disappeared, the meeting progressed faster.

“Shall we look at the weekly chart focusing on the 5-member seniors? “How many years’ worth should I look at?”

“Shouldn’t we exclude songs released within the past year? “It will be compared to the performances of our seniors.”

“There are a lot of good songs that have come out recently… … .”

“That’s true.”

“How about including a group of 6 as well? “I think it would be okay with five people as long as we distribute the parts well.”

At that time, Jaeseong Choi opened his mouth.

Choi Jae-sung was a participant who had a tone that Si-ion Han had definitely heard, but could not remember.

“I think I need to think about the rap part before that.”

“Ah, rap… … .”

Idol groups almost always have rappers in them.

However, there are currently no rappers on the winning team.

The problem was that Jin’s team had too many rappers, but the problem here was that there were none.

“Is there anyone here who is confident in rap?”

On Saemi-ro, Choi Jae-seong, Kim Seong-woo, and Shim Joo-wan looked at each other, but no one in particular came forward.

If you want to rap, you can do it.

There is also a rap song that is a favorite karaoke song.

However, it is not enough to step forward in a situation where you have to show your charm to the judges and receive a favorable score.

Since everyone is more confident in singing than rapping, they are vocal participants.

Then someone raised their hand.

“I will do it.”

It was Hansion.

“… … “Rap?”

“yes. Not bad.”

“Brother, you don’t mean to say that you want to play Mebo and Melab together, do you?”

Han Shi-on shook his head in response to Kim Seong-woo’s question.

“I’m just going to rap. “Because Onsaemiro can do the mebo.”

After the meeting started, On Saemi-ro, who had not said a word, stared at Han Si-on and then slowly opened his mouth.

“why?”

“You’re good at singing, right?”

“That… … “You’re better at it.”

“Who said this? “It’s not like we’ve even sung the same song.”

In the end, Onsaemi nodded to the euphemism that my song selection was just better.

The production team was the one who was most taken aback by Han Zion’s declaration as a rapper.

The writer in charge of Han Si-on, who was standing behind the VJ, briefly stopped filming and asked if he was really just going to rap.

Participants also felt ambiguous emotions.

This is a good thing if you only consider the distribution of parts.

They naturally thought that Han Si-on would be the main vocalist and On Sae-miro would be the lead vocalist.

Considering the skills of the two, there is a high probability that they will be criticized by viewers if they are greedy for that position.

However, if this happens, Onsaemiro will be the singer, and the lead vocalist position will be empty.

In a way, with Han Sion missing as a vocalist, each person’s role has gone up a tier.

In addition, direct comparison with Hansion can be avoided.

but… … .

Wouldn’t this be a bitter betrayal of the wishes of those who are looking forward to the performance of ?

Even if you take care of your individual parts, isn’t it a minus if the team’s performance fails?

I couldn’t help but think that way.

But surprisingly, Han Si-on was stubborn.

In the end, it was decided to start by selecting candidates for song selection.

But the song selection ended in an instant.

“Do you think this would be good?”

This was because Hansion highly recommended it as soon as he heard NOP’s song, which was recorded on last year’s annual chart.

NOP’s Boy Scout is a famous song.

No matter what anyone says, the top boy group is Drop Out, but at the moment, N.O.P. is more popular.

I don’t know what will happen if Drop Out makes a comeback, but NOP’s popularity is no joke.

So everyone seemed to be trying to save their lives.

“I think the subjects of stage comparison will be NOP seniors… … . “It’s also a very recent song.”

“Are you trying to arrange it? “Then I am against it.”

But Han Si-on shook his head.

“no. I think it would be better to just call it as it is. “It goes well with our tone.”

“hmm… … . “Let’s take a look at the stage video first.”

NOP’s stage was good.

Six idols wearing boyish Boy Scout uniforms showed off great choreography.

It wasn’t a difficult choreography to match the Boy Scout feel, but the refreshingly extending lines had the feel of a mischievous person dreaming of adventure.

“hmm… … .”

Those who felt pressured to select N.O.P.’s hit song seemed mesmerized by the choreography.

Since you only have one day to practice, it shouldn’t be too difficult, but it shouldn’t be too easy either.

Boy Scout was a song that fit that standard perfectly.

Moreover, seeing as the rap part wasn’t prominent, it didn’t seem like Han Si-on chose it with any intention.

“Let’s look for some other songs first.”

After that, there were repeated meetings, but no better option than NOP’s Boy Scouts came out.

“Let’s do this.”

“Ah, if I don’t do it, I think I’ll eat my fill of curses.”

“Should we sleep for just four hours and practice? “It looks like the losing team is also trying to sleep.”

“Is that so?”

Filming for the second competition, Team Mission, was scheduled to start at 7 PM the next day.

It’s already today as it’s past midnight during the song selection meeting.

Since a certain amount of sleep was needed to handle the high-intensity practice and the actual stage, the participants headed to the accommodation rented by the broadcasting station.

The main director of a program is similar to a chef.

This is because you have to choose which ingredients out of the numerous ingredients captured by the camera and decide what kind of dish to cook.

However, sometimes, you decide on the final dish and find the right ingredients for it.

Like the current PD Kang Seok-woo.

Kang Seok-woo has already decided what kind of dish the first episode of Coming Up Next will be.

Hansion’s one man carry.

So what you need most now is… … .

‘It’s the composer’s contact information.’

He was the composer of Way From Flower’s debut song.

The words Han Si-on spoke after the first mission stage were quite meaningful.

“Flower’s Bloom would have been a song for male vocalists in the early stages of composition. Perhaps the singer was chosen during the production process and changed to fit a female vocalist?”

“So I don’t think I changed anything, I just sang the original version.”

No, honestly, it sounds meaningful because it’s Hansion.

What if a participant other than Han Si-on had said something like that?

Either a sense of ridicule or a sense of editing.

Doesn’t it make sense in common sense?

The debut song of the top girl group Way From Flower was originally a song for male vocalists?

As soon as Han Si-on heard that, he recognized it as his incredible talent, right?

So far, no one has said anything like that?

Nevertheless, the reason why Han Si-on’s story did not sound so funny was simple.

Because the stage was good.

‘No, because it was fucking good.’

I felt it the moment I heard it.

This is definitely a hot topic.

Perhaps will have better chart results and better responses to the music source.

However, the topicality of the content and the number of views on YouTube will affect it.

Because it is full of keywords that netizens can interpret in a provocative way.

Moreover, PD Kang Seok-woo, who did not have much knowledge of music, was doubtful whether Han Si-on had really touched only the notes of the original song.

I wonder if netizens are like this themselves.

Even if the program itself failed to be a box office success, this performance would be spread by word of mouth and would attract great interest.

So PD Kang Seok-woo was in great trouble.

His original plan was that the song at the center of Episode 1 of Coming Up Next was the pre-mission song, .

But after watching the first stage, I think this will become a bigger issue.

It was said that it was unfortunate that the spotlight was divided by bundling two songs in episode one.

So, why not split it into episodes 1 and 2 and introduce two songs each?

Due to the nature of the program where the take scene must be the main character, episode 2 cannot be used entirely for Team B.

This was PD Kang Seok-woo’s concern.

At that time, Kang Seok-woo saw his junior producer, who had been waiting for him, coming into the filming set.

“I found it?”

“Are you a composer? “I found it.”

“Hey, why does it take so long to find a composer?”

“The English name was not my stage name, but my real name.”

“A foreigner? “What country are you from?”

“I’m from Denmark, but now I’m in the United States. But senior. “Can’t we get a composer for this?”

“why?”

“It’s too big.”

Kang Seok-woo’s eyes widened as he heard the name flowing from his junior PD’s mouth.
