Damn Idol Episode 63
Still, it's not that I really disliked Eddie.
Until a few days ago, I was suffering from severe regression depression, but hearing that Eddie was coming as a judge lifted my mood.
It's so absurd to see such crazy behavior.
"Edward!"
At that time, the late PD, that is, PD Kim Dal-in, approached and whispered something to Eddie.
Eddie shrugged and greeted me before disappearing, and this time PD Kim spoke to me.
"Hansion participant."
"yes."
"If you talk too much in private with the judges, it may cause anxiety in other teams about a biased decision."
No, why are you doing this to me?
It was Eddie who came and spoke to me.
"I will be careful."
"And Way From Flowers wants to film content together. What do you think?"
"Is it like a talk show?"
"no.
If that's the case, that's fine.
It will be one step closer to debut.
I can show a proper live performance to those who say my singing skills are good.
"I will appear."
"yes. For your information, our filming team will also follow."
"All right."
It's rare for auditionees to appear on other entertainment programs, but if the circumstances are right, there's nothing wrong with that.
Well, besides, it's YouTube content.
While I was thinking that, PD Kim Dal-in was pacing around me even though the story was over.
I looked at him wondering if he had more to say, and suddenly he held out a piece of paper.
"Just one autograph… … ."
Where has the person who was talking about biased judgment just now gone?
I guess this is why PD Kang Seok-woo is called an advisor.
As I was signing autographs, the staff motioned for me to quickly get on the bus.
Today was the day when the Coming Up Next participants had a photo shoot.
They said they couldn't take a pictorial in Pocheon, so they went to a studio somewhere in Apgujeong.
"Everyone on board!"
When I got on the bus with the staff shouting, all the participants except me were already on board.
But perhaps because we arrived late, there aren't many seats left.
The only thing left was the seat next to Choi Jae-seong and Fade.
"brother."
Choi Jae-seong, who called me, tapped the seat next to me as if he had left the seat empty.
hmm.
I know people call me Hipsion.
I don't know exactly what being hip means, but it seems to mean enjoying choices that other people don't make.
So, you have to live up to expectations, right?
"hi?"
"… … !"
As I sat down next to Fade, I could feel people's heads turning.
It wasn't long ago that we both swore and fought.
"Why... … ."
Fade is also confused as if he doesn't know what to say.
is not it?
I want to swear, but am I having a breakdown because I'm holding back because there are so many eyes watching?
Anyway, Fade didn't seem to understand why I sat next to him.
It wasn't something I had planned either.
But there is a reason.
I wanted to remind Fade of what kind of relationship I have with you.
Fade raised a dispute based on his influence on the program, and I accepted it calmly.
A situation arose where either Fade apologized or I had to leave.
Everyone probably thought it was a ridiculous fight, but it was Fade who apologized.
After that, the reason we just ignored each other wasn't because I was avoiding the fade.
Fade was avoiding me.
I still have Fade's apology video on my phone, and the popularity of the program is derived from me.
However, these days, Fade can be seen teasing the members of Sedalbaekil.
I don't say it out loud, but it's secretly unpleasant.
It's obvious what's going on in these guys' heads.
A sense of superiority that makes me want to prove that I am being pushed by Han Si-on, not by you guys.
Inferiority complex and wanting to relieve the shame inflicted on me by the Sedalbaekil members.
Well, he is a consistent guy.
Strangely, I don't remember the details of For the Youth's activities, but I remember what kind of guys the members were at that time.
Especially the fade, which was the worst.
The bus departed, and the people who were looking at me and Fade turned their heads.
Because Fade and I were sitting at the very back of the bus, there was a sense that our gaze disappeared quickly.
Then Fade takes out his cell phone, types a message, and shows it to me.
[When you say something nice, go to the side.]
Since I wrote a message but didn't send it, I guess they think I have some kind of elaborate plan.
There is no such thing.
Ah, maybe I was influenced by Eddie.
Because I have lived so many different lives, with so many personalities, for so long, I sometimes imitate the behavior of people around me without even realizing it.
When talking to Eddie, the personality of the episode that lived recklessly like Eddie appears, and when confronting Fade, the shady personality that manipulated others from behind the scenes appears.
Anyway, the returnees are all sensitive and very fickle people.
Oh, of course it's my story.
Because I've never seen another regressor other than me.
[Be friendly ^^b]
When he sends a message to Fade in the form of a human being, his face rots away.
Well, I won't provoke you any further than this.
Fade is a guy who is sensitive to things like implicit superior-subordinate relationships and influence within a group.
At this level, you would have understood the message to stay quiet and not fuss from now on.

Dance, song, face, body, patience, mentality, physical strength... … .
There are many indicators to evaluate idols, and there are many ways to improve the indicators.
You can improve your dancing and singing skills through consistent training, and you can improve your appearance through surgery or procedures.
You can manage your patience by hiring a competent manager, and you can manage your mental health by hiring a psychological counseling expert.
But just one thing.
It is a really important indicator for idols, but there are elements that are difficult to improve afterward.
It is 'talent'.
Talent is difficult to define, but it is generally said to be a sense of immersion.
How much can you immerse yourself in the stage situation, and how much can you convey your sense of immersion to the audience?
That's why great actors are often born among idols.
Acting can be learned, but immersing yourself in a character is an innate talent.
"So, this photo shoot is taking place today."
I saw the song, I saw the dance, and I saw the stage.
So, who is the most talented among the ten participants?
Who will be the most attractive subject in front of the camera?
It was time to figure this out.
"Hey, producer. "Didn't you say it was a light photo shoot?"
"Where can there be light filming in a survival program?"
"Then do you even evaluate it?"
"Sure."
The three photographers in charge of today's shoot were scheduled to evaluate the take scene and three months.
In addition, you can select the stage setting for the next mission in order of ranking.
As producer Kang Seok-woo finished his explanation, groans emerged from the participants.
I arrived at the studio with a light heart, but it suddenly became an important mission.
However, Takeshin and Sedalbaekil, who soon adapted to reality, put their heads together and began to think about costume concepts.
Today's pictorial was filmed in two versions. The first was a self-styled outfit chosen by the members themselves.
In other words, we had to decide on the concept of 'what we think of our team'.
Needless to say, the second version is a concept that smells like money.
A photo book is scheduled to be released in collaboration with a famous magazine.
'It would be advantageous to do take scenes when it comes to self-costumes. 'I'm sure we've had concept meetings like this several times.'
Just as Producer Kang Seok-woo thought, Take Scene started pouring out ideas in an instant.
Not only did they not debut, but they were a group that was already prepared for everything.
However, surprisingly, 3 months and 10 days also came up with some pretty good ideas.
"Maybe we should take time travel?"
"Shouldn't that be the case? Because I suddenly can't think of any other concepts here… … ."
"But I don't think there is any symbolism in time travel."
"How about a pocket watch?"
"Oh, are you okay? Is there anything else?"
"An umbrella!"
"Oh, time travel is also travel?"
"yes!"
"hmm… … . okay. Let's write it down first. If you're traveling, would you like a compass or a map?"
"I think it will be strange. Umbrellas can be used in any era, but maps can only be used in certain places, right? The compass... … I do not know."
"If it's ambiguous, you have to leave it out."
PD Kang Seok-woo watched the three-month-long idea meeting and couldn't help but think of the previous mission song, Seoul Town Funk.
In fact, he thought that
why?
'Because of Hansion.'
Han Si-on is a genius.
And average geniuses don't understand why criminals can't do as well as they do.
However, it didn't seem like the members of Sedalbaekil would obediently listen to Hansion's orders.
But what was it like in reality?
Han Si-on did not show any of the eccentricity of a genius and respected the members' opinions.
He was even seen getting scolded by the members often.
At the same time, the members of Sedalbaekil entrusted all musical aspects except song selection to Hansion.
As a result, an amazing stage called Seoul Town Funk was born.
Although it hasn't aired yet, producer Kang Seok-woo was confident that Seoul Town Funk would be a turning point for the program.
Until now, more than 90% of the program's buzz was focused on Han Si-on.
There was even a feeling that Coming Up Next did not seem like a survival program because Hansion had so much buzz.
However, the moment Seoul Town Punk is revealed, there will be a feeling of survival between the two teams.
You can't erase the feeling that
'It's so amazing. 'How can one be so skilled with such talent?'
What Kang Seok-woo sees in Han Si-on is not an eccentric genius, but a genius who knows how to embrace everyone.
It doesn't seem like that at all when we perform on individual stages, but when we stage as a team, we know how to work together.
Lee Ion is still leading the meeting, but Han Si-ion is providing adequate support.
However, suddenly Han Si-on started expressing strange opinions.
"I just wish Ion's pocket watch had a different color. We're silver, and you're purple? Gray instead of purple is okay too."
"huh? why?"
"It would be too long to explain why here."
"At least briefly."
"Eddie on the bus earlier… … "You finished arranging Ward's song?"
"Uh, really? "Can you tell me?"
"I just finished it in my head. Anyway, after finishing the arrangement, I thought it would be nice to use a pocket watch as a stage prop."
"Oh, so you said pocket watch?"
"yes."
"hmm… … . "Then let me ask you this."
Lee Ion looked at Han Si-ion and asked.
"Is it Hypsion or Godsion?"
"yes?"
"I'm asking whether you want to change the color of the pocket watch to Hipsion or Godsion."
"… … "It's a bit difficult to say it with my own mouth."
"It's Godsion. okay. Then I will accept it."
After quickly coordinating their opinions, Sedalbaekil immediately began deciding on outfits.
After listening carefully, I realized that they were planning to bring different outfits for all the members.
Lee Ion is a British suit during the Industrial Revolution.
Koo Tae-hwan wears hanbok from the Joseon Dynasty.
Choi Jae-seong's Korean high school uniform.
Onsaemi is a racing suit that gives off a near-future feel.
Hansion is American retro fashion from the 70s and 80s.
It really is very different.
However, as the designs are different, the colors used in the costumes are completely unified.
Wearing the same pocket watch adds to the sense of unity.
Since it was a time travel concept, we did not want to specify the era.
