Chapter 21 - Chapter 21

The post of the person who introduced themselves as 'I watched all the idol survival shows produced by Music Days' continued like this.

[First, let me talk about the favoured kids among the 18 people.

1. Son Jae-ha

Those who know him will already know. He was said to be a non-official AG trainee, but he often appeared at music camps and other official AG events, so there was a lot of talk about who he was.

AG's pureblooded male ace. The current best flower in AG's garden.

First of all, as the '47.5-second man' has become a hot topic, his unique feature is that he is extremely handsome. His skills are fitting for being called an ace, though they're not as good as his looks.

Don't get me wrong. He's really handsome, not exaggerating.

There's no need to argue further. Those who chose this guy just need to relax and think about applying to be the audience. Congratulations. By the way, I chose another member.

2. Liu Wei

This trainee passed the global audition as AG increased its investment in China. He'd been based in Qingdao, and just recently moved to Korean practice rooms.

They say that he's the best dancer in AG right now. Honestly, there's no way an individual trainee or a trainee from another agency can dance better than him, so think of him as a guaranteed dance member.

This guy came from abroad so there's not much information. Please understand;; Instead, I'm attaching a dance practice video believed to have been uploaded by someone close to Liu Wei before his debut.

3. Ji Hwa-seong

Along with Son Jae-ha and another trainee, he's one of the longest-serving trainees in AG. His hair has been blonde since middle school. He dropped out early, so there isn't much information, but I've attached a few school records from his middle school days.

He's a rapper, and although his producing skills aren't known, he's said to write some good lyrics. He also went to music camps with Son Jae-ha. He has a personality that matches his looks, and I expect that noonas who like high schoolers will flock to him. If those with money end up liking him, he's sure to debut;;

Actually, I wish he'll be confirmed, I like him, what the f*ck ^^

----Promising members from here on----

4. Jang Si-woo

This is the AG trainee I was talking about while talking about Ji Hwa-seong. Not really public, but anyone who doesn't know him probably just isn't interested in the entertainment industry, right?

That's right. The youngest sibling of second-generation idol Jang Si-1. I'll add the legendary milk CF here.

(video)

A case where he grows up well, just like his older brother. But why is he not confirmed and just a promising member?

It's because of the age difference.

Since he's 17, there's a 4 year age gap between him and the beloved Son Jae-ha.

Of course, you might say, "What's wrong with the age difference?" and "Don't many people debut young these days?", but considering that Do Jae-chan didn't like big age gaps in Lady Swan, it might be a bit difficult. Still, since he's AG's longest-running trainee and a pureblood, he's considered a promising member.

5. Logan Lee

As you might have guessed from the name, he's not Korean. He's British, so he has a blue passport. There's a rumor going around that he's a Korean born in England, but that's just a guess from someone's head, so don't believe it;; From what I've heard, he's definitely British.

This person is an individual trainee selected by Mude. Although he started out as an individual trainee, it is expected that he will remain in AG even if he fails this debut. He's said to be good at composing, writing lyrics, and producing.

There is little information about him because he is a foreigner, but I put him on the list of promising members because of his producing ability.

6. Kim Joo-an

An eliminated trainee of QuinCE's debut group. Although he was eliminated due to survival, he's active on SNS. If you search for it enough, you'll find tons of photos.

[*서바 * (seo.ba) - shortened from "서바이벌" (survival)]

First of all, he's really cute. It's rumored that he was eliminated from the debut group because his looks didn't match the group's image. Believe it or not, it's up to you. He's average at both singing and dancing.

Did you know that his cute face attracted a lot of core fans despite his average skills? That's why I consider him a promising member. If he gets more screentime and a better narrative, he'll rise up the rankings in no time. That's my prediction;

Let's pick a few more people:

7. Bang Yoo-chan (Photo) Also an individual trainee selected by Mude. He was completely ordinary before his debut. No matter how much I dig, there's nothing bad. There's a rumor that he was the top student in the Department of Practical Music at Korea University. He used to have a YouTube channel where he uploaded singing videos, but it was shut down. He's known for his sexy looks, so I think he'll have a fan base.

8. Seong Oh-hyeop (Photo) - A trainee from Arkship. Remember the incident where Arkship tried debuting a male group...? He suffered the most out of all of them.

He's been training for a while, and it's a bit ambiguous because of his age. But I included him since he's fairly well-known. Arkship was also large agency, so yeah. ㅇㅇ

9. Ahn Jin-woo (Photo) - A pureblood AG trainee but with a relatively short training period.

But there's some talk that he originally intended to be an actor, but ended up here because of underperforming numbers. He's handsome.

This concludes the list of potential members that I have organized.

No mention of your pick? Congratulations, you've got a nobody.

I really hope he can push out other promising members with his hidden skills and story.

As far as I know, there's another trainee who was eliminated from the QuinCE debut group, but there's even less information about him than Kim Joo-an. I'm not gonna be hasty, but I'm guessing it's him. He's handsome, but he looks a bit sassy.

Maybe he's the one that Moon-ssi said had a weird name at the end of the trailer. Why is he more famous for his weird name than his looks or skills? I think it's something like Chun-sik and Bong-chun…

Anyway

Don't take my words too seriously. I'm just speculating on how things will play out based off the 12 shows I've seen so far. If the person you've chosen is destined to debut, they will.

I'll come back when the second trailer and original song are released.]

"Haha..."

I smiled bitterly at the raw feedback. I couldn't help it.

The community reaction was not much different from before.

[Chun-sik? That's a rather rare name.]

[No, I don't think an idol trainee would come out as Chun-sik: he'd probably use a stage name]

If anything has changed, it's that people are debating over my name?

Previously, when I went out under the name Rex, there wasn't a comment from Moon Yoon-ha.

However....

'I'm more famous for my old-fashioned name than my face or talent? That's too much!'

I grabbed the sink and screamed silently.

"What's wrong with my name...."

Chun-yong. Chun-yong. Yong-yong of spring. It's cute.

How could my name be on the same level as Chun-sik and Bong-chun?

—God, Chun-yong hyung, are you still vomiting? We have to go back down and practice! What should I do? Should I tell the writer that Chunyong hyung is sick?

"No, wait! I didn't vomit!"

- X: Every time you watch something, you lock yourself in the bathroom, so the kids think you're throwing up, you idiot ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I frowned as I saw a message from X right after I answered Logan.

- Kim Chunyong: Or you could change the notifications and app interface;;

- Kim Chunyong: What do my roommates think of me? My image has been completely ruined. Are you serious?

- X: What's this -.- What are you saying, after all I've done for you

- X: You're so ungrateful, really annoying. If you keep doing this, I might not be able to help you anymore ;;

- Kim Chunyong: All you've done for me so far is raise my blood pressure, you punk.

—Chunyong hyung! Are you really okay? It's time to go!

"I'm going out! I'm going out!"

As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I threw my phone on the bed and headed out of the dorm.

Whether X gives me a hard time or my roommates start seeing me as queasy.

Now that the first trailer has been released, the day we'll truly perform the original song is fast approaching. And after that, we'll be fully revealed.

Until then...

It's practicing to death.

[ 'Aiming' Performance Video]

The second trailer and original song video for were quickly released shortly after.

It was all thanks to main writer Lee Hyeon-jeong and producer Joo Cheol-yeong who made all the trainees dance all night for the stage, grinded the wrists of the editing staff, and drove everyone to death without even holding a whip in their hands.

- "Hello, Star Shooters! We are the Targeting Star trainees!"

After all the trainees' greeting, the released video of 'Aiming', in which they performed on three circular stages, became a hot topic, taking first place in the popular video category of YouTube's music section.

Moreover, thanks to it appearing sneakily in the end credits of the music show 'Music Music Today' that airs every Thursday, it can be said that almost all idol fans are aware of the existence of .

[Who the hell designed this stage? It's so fucking crazy. If you look at the kids' faces, they'll fall over. Who made this shitty set?]

[L What do you mean, if the song and choreography are good, what's the point? Did the PD of Mude lose his sense of humor?;;]

[ L Guys, that's not important right now. Si-woo is handsome... Let's go with 1 minute and 20 seconds left instead of 47.5 seconds left]

[LNamed applicants who only look at the face, just go away]

[AG Corporation @HARDWARE_store

What the heck is this... Honestly, all AG fans will know how much this has aged. When I think about how the reaction to our Swans' debut showcase video, tears come to my eyes again. F*ck, firstly, please look at our Jae-ha's face before you go]

[Tick-eating expert @jjjjjjjjjikmug

By the way, what's the name of the kid in the middle who's really good at dancing? Is he Liu Wei?

[LThe public is scary @notmeee47291

No, it's not Liu Wei, the center of the dance floor below is Liu Wei... I wonder if there was another trainee who was good at dancing besides him]

[LI fell in love with a Chinese man... @alwaysliuuway

Hey, please block searches ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are you just using the kids' names like that when it's public? When the broadcast starts, people will start searching for them, so let's be careful in advance ;;]

[LThe public is scary @notmeee47291

Tch, why is the protection post coming? If you hadn't mentioned this, I wouldn't have seen Liu Wei]

Among the numerous responses, the most notable was a new post by the person who previously wrote [A summary of the main trainees of AG's survival show that appeared today].

This is truly a once in a lifetime wish… … I will die if I can't go to Tata's concert. Please, let's see Ji Hwa-seong's face in person just once. I need your support as you read this. Please cheer me and Hwa-seong on a little;

Please go to the link below and like my YouTube comment. I really appreciate it. (link)]

On the official Music Days website,to watch the second round of competition held the day before the first episode of airs.

Usually, audience applications were made by sending an email at a set time or clicking on an application button.

However, the Music Days production team announced that they would randomly select 300 people from among those who wrote SNS posts and YouTube comments with hashtags designated by the production team.

It was a trick by the production team who quickly realized that the current popularity of was not small.

'I absolutely have to be an audience to check on my pick!'

While people started to create YouTube accounts indiscriminately and leave comments in order to win the lottery, and while a war broke out on SNS to increase the exposure of their posts by creating all kinds of events and mentions,

The trainees, exhausted from filming the original song's music video, had just received the theme of the next competition.

* * *

— "All trainees, please gather in the auditorium."

The day the second competition theme was revealed.

A dying noise was heard from the room where the multinational roommates lived.

"Ugh…"

"I'm dying. I'm serious. Truly, I'm dying Now…."

"Guys, wake up quickly and get ready. We have to go outside to film again. And Logan, speak in Korean."

"If this continues, Gao Yan will die!"

"No, no. People don't die that easily. Don't say things like that. Let's get out of here quickly."

I grabbed the collars of my roommates, who were almost dying from the aftereffects of filming that lasted all night, and headed to the auditorium on the first floor.

The reason it was an auditorium and not a practice room was to hold a game with PPL to determine the teams for the second round.

Back then, I was teamed with Ji Hwa-seong, individual trainee Lee Chae-hyeok, and Gong Min-ho. I don't know what will happen this time.

Anyway, when I arrived at the auditorium with the three of them, Yoo-chan hyung, who had arrived earlier, waved me over.

"Chunyong. Here. The seat next to me is empty."

"Oh, hyung, alright."

Although he had lost a bit of weight due to continuous practice and filming, there was still a smile on Yoo-chan hyung's face.

Should I say that losing weight suits him better? After all, Yoo-chan hyung was already known for his mature and handsome looks.

Anyhow.

The trainees crowding the large auditorium began to chatter about the question written on the prompter:

"A two-person stage? We don't have many people. We'll divide into nine groups of two. Oh, then one team will be a bit more popular."

"I think six teams of three people each would be possible? And maybe a competition for the same song?"

"A solo stage would be fine, too. Well, it's not like there's any other purpose to it…"

Everyone was deliberately blurting out their thoughts. They didn't want to get the point across right away. As always, broadcasting is exhausting.

And we have to keep messing around like this…

"Ding! Ding! Ding! You got them all wrong. Your second competition theme is—5v5 and 4v4 cover missions!"

Because Choi Ga-on will appear like that and proceed.

I watched Choi Ga-on laugh out loud as he tightened his loose shoelaces.

Now the game to decide the second round of competition teams begins.
