Album 9. Mole
A week before the 10th episode of Coming Up Next aired.
The content of the 9th episode that aired was plain.
I didn't give the cut to Sedalbaekil, nor did I give it to Takeshin.
They faithfully showed the preparation process for the final
However, if there was a part that became an issue, it was the scene where Han Sion was training the members.
[again.]
[again.]
[No, make a sound a little further back.]
[again.]
From the beginning, Han Si-on thought that the scene where he was training the members would not be shown.
Or go out lightly.
This was because, under the circumstances at the time, there was no reason for Coming Up Next to damage Hansion's image.
However, the situation changed, and PD Kang Seok-woo aired Han Si-on's training scenes without any filtering.
It wasn't made unfavorable through malicious editing.
Nevertheless, Hansion's training became controversial.
-ㅅㅂ I think Han Si On is good, but isn't that a bit excessive haha?
-So, you're not a shaman and you're being harassed too much?
-Are the members good or Hansion bad? I think I would feel a little bad if it were three months and one hundred days.
-I don't like it when we are fellow contestants but are treated like judges.
-It seems like the program lost its fairness after Chris Edwards sucked. If you have that kind of attitude, I think the PD should have stopped you.
The public also agrees that Han Si-on is a genius.
From
I don't know how many hit songs they created while appearing on a program that only lasted 10 episodes.
But that doesn't mean Han Si-on looks like the genius of the century, that's not the case.
Geniuses of the century are often given the adjective 'before and after nothing'.
This means 'never before and never after.'
In other words, this means that he is a character that is difficult to see again unless a very long time has passed.
And, in the eyes of the public, Han Si-On was not that good.
The contestants who created a buzz with each song they sang on the audition program?
there is.
The number may not be large, but it definitely exists.
Because there is a rapper who ranks first on the charts for every song released by Show Me What You God.
A contestant who created a sensational buzz with a self-composed song?
Of course there is.
A participant who received rave reviews from leading experts in the industry?
This is more.
Of course, those experts may not have been at the level of Chris Edward, but the result was the same.
As a result, the public's reaction to Hansion was exactly like this.
It's been a while since a genius came out.
And if you look at these words carefully, it means that the genius named Han Si-on does not have much differentiation from other geniuses.
Of course, the reactions of insiders who actually watched Hansion were different.
Even without mentioning Chris Edwards, Lee Hyun-seok, Jo Ki-jeong, and Kang Seok-woo thought that Han Si-on was a genius who was difficult to compare to.
Not only the members of 3 Months and 100 Days, but also the judges had similar thoughts.
Because they witnessed Han Si-on's talent in a raw, undirected way.
However, the public had no choice but to encounter Han Sion through mass media, and it was difficult to accurately feel the extent of Han Sion's talent.
Also, in the eyes of the public who casually enjoys culture, a 100-point genius or a 1,000-point genius may appear similar.
That is why Han Si-on in the 9th episode caused controversy.
At this time, Choi Dae-ho, the CEO of Ryan Entertainment and a judge on Coming Up Next, was in trouble.
'Should I bury it completely? … .'
Getting Han Si-On out of the entertainment industry is easier than twisting a child's wrist.
One clearing of Choi Dae-ho's cough will be like a typhoon for Han Si-on and Sedal Baek-il.
In that sense, running away to the indie scene was a stupid but also smart choice.
As the word independent means, it was a place where Choi Dae-ho's influence did not reach.
But that also meant that it was a narrow place with no need to reach it.
It doesn't matter whether Sedalbaekil performs with 100 people or 1,000 people.
Unless you stick to the mainstream of show business.
But soon Choi Dae-ho became a waste.
He was not a person who was extremely interested in Han Si-on's musical achievements.
Of course, I thought it was a great thing and that he was born with talent.
While filming Coming Up Next, I even applauded as a judge.
However, what Choi Dae-ho is interested in is show business.
No matter how good your musical talent is, if it doesn't sell, you're not interested.
The problem was that Hansion was a product that would sell very well.
From the atmosphere and appearance to the ability to perform on stage to the public.
He was born to be a star.
It was not a dream to create a group that would surpass Drop Out or NOP, as long as Ryan Enter could push it properly.
So it was a waste and I was worried.
Are you going to burn Han Si-on beyond measure, or are you going to make him return to Ryan Enter?
The expression 'returning' itself was an extremely egocentric idea, but Choi Dae-ho thought so.
In the meantime, I heard that Han Si-on was appearing in
"You answered that way?"
"yes. First of all, the answer was that… … . "It's a little ambiguous, bro."
"what?"
"It was like half and half. There's a 50% chance that I'll regret going out with my brother. "There is a 50% chance that he answered because he knew he was being looked at."
"How do you know what to look for?"
"As a coach? "The kid is really smart, isn't he?"
Taehoon Cho said so, but humans were originally animals that heard what they wanted to hear.
'Han Si-on is also worried.'
In that case, it did not mean that there was no possibility that Han Si-on would come back after three months and 101 days.
I know that Si On Han is smarter than other kids his age.
But he noticed that he was looking through Jo Tae-hoon and gave him the answer he wanted?
There couldn't have been that much political sense.
In the end, Choi Dae-ho made a decision.
I decided not to completely bury Han Si-on.
But I had to press the bridge of my nose flat.
'I guess it will take about a year.'
After making it impossible for them to do anything, I planned to reach out through Blue, who had a good relationship with the participants.
Choi Dae-ho, who decided on his stance, also completed discussions with M Show.
The main character of the 10th episode of Coming Up Next was Take Scene, but it was decided not to throw the three months and 100 days into an abyss.
So a week later.
Episode 10 was broadcast.
* * *
"The content of the broadcast is more ordinary than I thought?"
The words that came out of Choi Jae-seong's mouth were the same feelings I felt after watching episode 10.
Coming Up Next Episode 10 was exactly as expected.
More cuts were given to the take scenes, and the stage was also edited focusing on the take scenes.
Moreover, they broke the immersion by inserting the judges' conversation between our performances, and they took a full shot of Lee Ion's free hook and interrupted it with loud subtitles.
In addition, scenes that would have been quite cool if shown in proper close-up were also treated with bust shots.
However, despite this, the production team did not ruin the stage itself.
The power of directing and editing is so enormous that there are dozens of ways to turn the best performance into the worst.
The fact that this was not done could also be seen as a moderate edit.
To summarize episode 10, the main character is Takesin, but Sedalbaekil was also portrayed as a supporting actor who did his best.
After that, Take Scene was declared the winner based on the scores so far, and Take Scene's debut date was revealed.
August 26, 2017.
There are only two months left.
I went online and checked the articles, and the whole world was talking about the take scene.
[Coming Up Next Episode 10. The winning team is Take Scene!]
[A new big catch in the music industry, Takescene's debut date is confirmed as August 26th.]
[It was a perfect team from start to finish. Take scene, winning for a reason.]
[Coming Up Next Episode 10 viewer rating 11.8%.]
[M Show gave a favor and a take scene returned the favor. Take Scene's debut stage is M Show?]
It was really surprising that I couldn't find the word 'three months and one hundred days'.
Of course, if you look at the article, our names were often mentioned in some parts.
'Sedalbaekil, who was strong as an individual, and Take Scene, who was strong as a team.' In the same sentence.
But there really wasn't anything with our name in the title of the article.
That wasn't all.
Even on M Show's official YouTube channel, many of the videos from Sedal101 disappeared.
The official mission video remained, but other videos were temporarily made private.
It was proof that M Show and Ryan had clearly reached an agreement.
"Umm… … ."
"It's a bit harsh."
The members also looked a bit surprised, as if they had been looking at the internet.
"Aren't there a lot of small media companies in Korea? "How come there aren't any articles?"
"Usually what those media outlets post are duplicate articles."
When a major media outlet writes an article, a small media outlet that sells provocative advertisements copies it.
Sentences are changed and uploaded appropriately to avoid copyright infringement. In some cases, this is done by humans, and in other cases, it is done by AI.
This is why articles from unknown sources with only provocative titles are pouring in, although the content of the articles is largely the same.
What do they say about this in Korea?
Was it a Uracai article?
Anyway, what if our names aren't in the original article at all?
Our names are not even in the duplicate article.
In fact, the business game at this point was a game of whack-a-mole.
If Sedalbaekil tries to stick his head out, Ryan Enter will hit him.
If someone tries to work with Sedalbaekil, Ryan Enter will hit them again.
Onsaemiro asked after hearing my story.
"Then what do you do?"
"Do you know who is the most pitiful person in the game of whack-a-mole?"
"poor? who?"
"First mole. "He always gets hit with a hammer."
Choi Dae-ho is neither a god nor an emperor, so he cannot control everything.
There are definitely companies in the entertainment industry that want to work with Sedalbaekil.
There will even be people who don't really care if Choi Dae-ho is annoying.
But the problem is that not everyone wants to be the first mole.
At this point, I don't want to be exposed to Choi Dae-ho's intense fire by siding with Sedal101.
It would be nice if someone would take the gun instead of him and draw Choi Dae-ho's attention.
That was exactly what I was thinking.
"So our goal is to make sure there are countless moles."
"how?"
"for now… … . this."
I opened the YouTube app and showed a hot video that had just been uploaded.
[(Official Teaser) Did you come to the wrong program? We are abyss detectors!]
It was a teaser video for the abyss detector that would be uploaded two days later.
There is no name Hansion in the title, but my face is prominently featured in the thumbnail.
When I played it back, the video started with the Coming Up Next material showing me singing
After that, the stages of the songs I had charted were connected very quickly.
[How do you feel?]
[It's fun.]
[why?]
[I was a huge fan of this program.]
It shows me sitting in a lie detector machine with the parts attached.
[I'm a fan, but did you know where this place is?!]
After a few pretend-joyful subtitles, Jo Tae-hoon's question scene appears.
[Money is more important to me than the love of fans!]
There was a close-up of my speechless face... … .
The screen switches to the program title.
The video was uploaded about 20 minutes ago, but the comment window was already in an uproar.
