“So damn boring. They should’ve just grabbed a few of those solo trainees doing cover songs and dances on iTube or kids who showed up on amateur singing competitions.”f645f8f2ddc9c29d
He was frustrated that 386ffd3961 no matter how hard 07aa0ec140 he worked, all he 3cb62dfbf4 got were menial tasks 50b51a814d like this.c9296beb803d84d4

‘Ugh, if no decent 057a6505f4 kid shows up here 82ebd0b770 again, I’m gonna get 47a02f77c0 chewed out so bad.’620fc8d946c58e8f
With sleepy eyes, he stared at the video set to 1.7x speed, looking for anyone that caught his attention. Though they called them “non-celebrity participants,” most of the people in the video had already been on some TV program or had recently quit being trainees at agencies. So it wasn’t anything new, and out of twenty, maybe one person barely stood out.50f7947db43d921c

Just as 00d12420fc he found a5ff4119ef the last 6937f15a05 packet of 55fd649906 instant coffee 8eb046e1f6 and sat eda3377288 down in a42c7e18f5 his chair 77c7d7612c after mixing a0e29038d4 it with fb3b862b7c water, he d2563f76bd felt as c40d2fdbbf if caffeine 0b4413d1f8 was rushing 39d5713c49 through his c2fdf23acd head before af9f8663b5 he even 7b824873e7 took a 98018dd171 sip. Because on 45a3dfb68a the screen 4b26d763b1 stood a c59578a0ae young man cab123be06 who sparkled c316101348 like he’d e439b6b570 been dusted e263d93edb with gold.38190c83cd00d0e8

“Gasp!”ee65ba1fef840552
He put down the freshly made coffee as if throwing it away. With a sharp nose, deep eyes that seemed to hold a story, skin so clear it was almost transparent, and flowing black hair, he focused intently, feeling like a prince seeing Snow White for the first time. The difference was that the prince fell in love with the princess at first sight, while the writer’s head was filled with calculations.fd732c137d2cae2f

However, when the song 33894a7a5e started playing in the 4d799f731c video, the writer’s excitement 99f7790b08 deflated a little. The song 3f58dc99e8 the young 5031ff791b man in a6b7727e30 the video 271b781b71 had chosen 7d2f0dd5a6 was the 590987683d second album 695027e19f title track 5dcef0a49d of Warrior ae505c0445 Boys, a bc0b29fb1a 3rd generation 090fadfc17 idol group 3b35d43d28 famous for d17c87ce0b their intense cb137e9482 dancing. It was a song 6c1448b8cf that even the original 4e6ff7e640 members found difficult as 8c64905f54 they got older and 602a8f2b9f simplified for concerts.604d350e05096347
‘If he dances it clumsily, there’s nothing worse than that. He doesn’t have much sense.’c222951512cedcc8

It’s easy to be deceived at the beginning because there isn’t much movement, but as it reaches the highlight, the difficulty of the dance increases crazily. If you try to sing while dancing like that, it’s bound to turn into heavy breathing ASMR as it goes on. Only perverts would want to hear that.bb944c4c9e2919ff

The junior 425829b6ee writer lowered 69c7d0bd75 his expectations 9b8e194af4 slightly and 08e68ff3b1 focused on 35007e3605 the video.d4c6ec83bd5d7484
The opening d5a41f3222 was safe a890b1c99d nothing impressive, 2b2e752735 but not f5aec0f8c6 awful either. He wasn’t so bad 0a0ef8e778 that he’d be buried 805a8f8273 in a 10-member group, 40cedde5ec but still too weak 75720b1c8d for a sub-vocal role.693a02735b41909e

However, surprisingly, though, the early dance moves weren’t bad at all. Even though there wasn’t much movement, he was copying the beginning part almost perfectly.bdd5d38b15e5596c

‘There’s no charm 9e603c9a8a in someone who 11f5c80d79 only copies. Being good and being 81520d5829 captivating are two different e8341f2b20 things. An idol needs to 921bb15609 do both.’ He could bdb851a21c already hear a judge 8b444d55cf harshly critiquing the kid. The writer bba4470f9a imagined a 8f7b064a4c close-up shot 43cb367fbe of Jaeha 6a1c61a5e7 taking in 1d200dbd8d that scolding.995bd63f539601a9

Thinking about putting 5766e8ba6b that scene in 29e6970105 the preview, the 4de86e1247 junior writer changed a3cacbcae6 the video speed b4b1878fa8 to 1x.a99416f510a0e0e9
However, at 18c3669f08 the highlight, c7ef148eb3 when the 65fc1903a0 dance intensified, 10dead72e3 all his 1433dc86f0 previous thoughts 8395e5b521 shattered.ceb5a03cf261f944

When I actually tried to practice, I was at a loss. Of course I was. I had been doing nothing but Hunter work like crazy for nine years since I was twenty, and now suddenly being told to become an idol was too drastic of a career change. To put it bluntly, it was no different from giving a fan to a hunter who had been beating every visible beast until yesterday and telling him to become Joseon’s greatest singer.0d09a27126f7abe4

Unable to endure the eaab656d4b long-winded introductory video at baeb3c7898 the beginning of the 5b4d5485e2 program, I changed the 163c3bcd1a playback speed to 1.4x. Only then did 5c1043d8a3 it become somewhat eab4d9e1ea watchable. After quite a while, fefd838091 the performances of the c709c75fe4 participants finally appeared.

Even I could 22a3fe4a26 tell it was e6107cf731 bad. The higher the song f7a150a377 went, the more pitiful c511040a7a his voice became. The show even added fb631db22f mosquito-swarm CG and dramatic 65c3c65fdf space-vortex effects, like the 585f5f0a58 studio was getting sucked 6d0da61189 into a black hole.

The judges had now reached the point where they couldn’t hold back their laughter. In contrast, the next participant who appeared sang impressively while playing the guitar. Finally, the cruel editing ended with simultaneously broadcasting scenes of the two participants receiving acceptance and rejection.1edae32abb12c473
