148 – The girl had ambition
ㅡFlash on!
All stages ended with the participants shooting intense eyes at the camera.
-aaah!!!
-Cha Hoon!!!
-Sihwan ahhh!!!
-Baekhwiya!!
And the high tones of female fans echoing one after another.
“Hey, but he’s pretty good, right?”
In the midst of a feast of decibels that made it difficult to understand what the person next to me was saying, Seo-yoon’s voice could be heard clearly.
‘Is this diction?’
“Hey. Can’t you hear?”
‘If I make a song later, I’ll have Seoyoon unni rap…’
“Hey! Can’t you hear me?”
‘Hmm… Maybe it’s not that bad.’
“5, 4, 3, 2…”
“I see. I’m pretty good at it, right?”
“Oh…”
On Seo-yoon’s day, I ignored her words and stared at the guy who was breathing heavily on her stage.
It is certainly objectively likely to be popular with women.
Unexpectedly good singing skills.
Dancing skills that aren’t perfect.
Lastly, her face is handsome.
This is so disgusting.
Suck honey with the title of childhood friend.
In fact, even if she didn’t have the title of childhood friend, she would have been popular.
“In the first place, would a large agency like ZY have let go of an uncompetitive person?”
Rational reasoning.
“…? They said you definitely wouldn’t be able to do it.”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“No way.”
“…Ugh. Let’s not talk.”
When all the participants went down the stage, the name of the cheers that had been chanting for the participants changed.
-Hanaya! Harang! Chaerin!
-Yeeun, look here!
-Guys!
Calling us when there were no participants had been going on since the beginning of the live broadcast.
‘Did they come to see us… Or did they come to see the participants…’
-Dohee!!! So pretty!!!
Still, she turned her head, looked at the source of the sound, and waved her hand slightly.
“Yes, it’s me!”
At that moment, a grand and suspenseful background sound began to play in the hall.
ㅡLive Just choose your idol Season 4 Final Round!
And MC Jin Tae-seop shouting majestically on stage.
ㅡThis is the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium. We are in the field with 10,000 Chuseo members.
Blue lights are shot onto the stage, and the participants are revealed all at once.
The sudden concentration of attention and the pounding background sound made not only the participants but also the viewers feel nervous.
“And in that tension, the one who came in first place was Lee Do-hee. It was me.”
“You’re handsome.”
“It’s like that.”
Kim Seo-yoon sighed and held his head exaggeratedly.
“Ha…”
“Jealousy.”
ㅡAnd now all that remains is the final presentation ceremony.
As MC Jin Tae-seop said while holding a cue card.
The only thing left today is the announcement of the debut group for .
***
The MC’s voice rang loudly from next to me.
“Fierce survival with 99 trainees! Here’s the final leaderboard.”
The nervous participants could only stare at the ranking chairs placed in front.
“Who will be the last to debut, and who will debut in first place? Without delay! We will begin the final ranking announcement ceremony to determine the center right now!”
And it was the same for me too.
A heart that feels like it might explode at any moment.
“Oh, there’s a delay! Let’s watch the commercial for a moment! hahahahaha.”
At least, it was only when the camera turned off for a moment and the MC was criticized and scolded by the audience that he was able to take a breather.
“If I’m selected today, I’ll go make an offering to every god once, regardless of religion.”
The mouth that lets out any sound to relieve tension.
Cha Hoon came up to me and tapped my chest.
“Wow, Baek Hwi is making a joke now? Even though it’s completely safe bread. Of course, I also make an offering and even put it on top of the ancestral rites.”
“A ancestral rite? You are so disrespectful that you are eliminated.”
“You are so earnest…”
However, despite joking with my brothers, the situation was so bad that my heart rate did not calm down easily.
‘I just wish it would end quickly… Sigh…’
-Baekhwi! Let’s debut!!
The only thing that helped was the voices of the fans coming from the audience.
I looked down at the stage and smiled.
And while I was staring at each and every fan waving my slogan all over the audience.
Without realizing it, my gaze was drawn to one side, as if drawn by gravity.
‘……’
My heart, which had barely calmed down, suddenly started pounding without stopping.
There was that kid turning back and waving to the fans.
If I had shown my face, my heart might have burst.
‘Oh, that’s right.’
It was only for a moment, but I naturally turned my head and stared at the fan holding my slogan out of fear of causing further damage.
Actually, I don’t even know when I started liking it.
I think I vaguely liked this kid from the age of 5, an age when I didn’t even have proper memories.
I pledged again to debut.
He smiled and waved his hand at the fans.

“If this was going to happen, I told you to reinforce it a long time ago…”
Manager Oh Hyun-soo was sighing deeply.
“Ha… Once the boys come in, most of them will probably be selected there.”
Manager Dahong’s expression wasn’t bright either.
“Ah, of course Dahong will remain in full charge of you all. Don’t worry about that.”
I naturally guessed that I would be sharing a meal with the new idol group selected for Season 4.
Shock Entertainment was established for that purpose and was an agency that was trying to gradually increase its size in that way.
The problem, of course, was that they thought they would hire new personnel exclusively for that area.

“Still, I think I’ll probably be in charge of both teams.”
The manager bowed his head as if he was sorry.
“We’re fine… But isn’t there too much work? It must be too hard…”
Manager Oh Hyun-soo lifted his head at my words, and his eyes turned red.
“My youngest… How can you have such a pretty heart? I’m a person who doesn’t usually cry… But I’m about to cry…”
…Wow, it was nice to see Lee Do-hee acting nice.
“No, manager, don’t you still know Dohee? That’s all acting.”
“Uh-huh, please don’t misunderstand my sincerity.”
Meanwhile, Ye-eun’s older sister, who was staring at me with her eyes closed, boldly opened her mouth.
“Gasp…! It’s acting…!”
What are you doing?
“Dohee.”
Sera is holding the sleeve of her dress and gently shaking it.
“Please act for your sister too…?”
What are you doing again?
And it’s not acting.
“Thanks to Dohee, I have strength!”
Oh, it’s acting, right?
“Manager, then you won’t be hiring new people?”
Hana asked.
“Ah, I was going to ask. It was a leader moment with your majesty.”
“I feel worse for my sister being the leader than for Dohee being the leader.”
Chae-rin scolded Ha-rang again.
“I like it…”
The manager took a look at the noisy members and said with a smile.
“Of course, we will hire new people. However, people with experience at the manager level or team leader level or higher, like me, will be divided. They probably won’t be able to stick around like before. I’m sorry because I’m too talented!”
“Wow, the manager is also Do Hee-byeong?”
“…? Conspiracy that has gone too far. How far should we tolerate it?”
“Still, I will follow you until the end of this tour, so don’t worry! Let’s do our best and prepare for the rest of the tour! Fighting!”
“Yes!”
Our meeting ended on a bright note with a light joke, but I was able to guess roughly.
The agency’s higher-ups, or the higher-ups at the headquarters, have chosen a new group.
I think both Ha-na and Chae-rin, who are quick-witted, have realized it to some extent.
‘Anyway, there’s half a year left…’
There would have been no intention to increase troops in the first place.
Other agencies also tend to give up unless they give a contract renewal to a group with half a year remaining.
However, since Saven has become one of the top three girl groups in popularity, they do not want to be criticized by fans, so they are now hastily recruiting them.
Moreover, we witnessed the new group fill the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium to full capacity even before their debut, so there will be no regrets.
A boy group of that size would easily surpass 1.5 Million in initial sales.
Of course, I also had nothing to regret.
There are only a few months left to finish the tour and the upcoming award ceremony.
Still, there was one constant thought that made me hesitate.
I became close friends with the employees and fans.
And I want to leave good memories for my sisters.
That’s why I didn’t want to just give up.
So I took a step and headed to the A&R team.
‘I will do it.’

The only news about Saven in October was the tour.

[231021,22 Yokohama Concert Preview]
Even Chaerin’s birthday party on October 22nd was uploaded as a behind-the-scenes concert video.
But that doesn’t mean it only happened overseas.
[Seven gracefully enters the country [HD Photo]]
[Saven Lee Do-hee, ‘A friendly greeting to the fan who came to meet us’ – Chosun Photo]
I entered Korea during the tour.
However, fans could not know what Dotong members were doing in Korea.
That’s why people naturally expressed their concerns in the fan community.
-There aren’t that many kids left now… I’m worried that there won’t be much to eat throughout the tour.
– Even if you don’t look at it, it seems like the Shock Entertainment bastards are not able to create new content because they are taking out the manpower from Saven and focusing on whether it is Inners or Huggies panties because they don’t have much left.
└ㄹㅇㅋ (Photo) Just by looking at the job posting, you can see how short the manpower is… There are only 11 Inners members, so they probably need a lot of manpower, right?
In fact, it was too early to say anything like this, as behind-the-scenes footage of the tour continued to be posted. To begin with, less than a month had passed.
The problem, however, was that fans were accustomed to Saben pouring out news every day.
Of course, in that background, there were members who overworked their bodies by forcing them to fit into their schedules.
Moreover, with less than half a year left on Seven’s contract, she is bound to feel even more sad.
Nevertheless, fans could not, in good conscience, let the Saven members go.
So the final solution that came out is this.
-Would you like to go to an overseas concert?
-Would you like to go on a Tokyo tour together? Saven Tour ㄱㄱ
-(Photo) I already bought the ticket ㅠㅠ I have to leave memories like this.
└I’m jealous ㅠㅠ I recognize your sincerity.
└Actually, my girlfriend and I are going on a couple’s trip to Japan and going to see Saven. ㅅㄱㅋㅋ I’m packing yen and sh*t.
└First germination
And that was evaluated internally as a fairly reasonable(?) Solution.
But it only took one day for public opinion to change.

This was because the comeback schedule was announced at a time that fans did not expect.
