87 – 15 years old (42)
The filming site was full of tears as we saw off the dropouts who had to pack their bags.
Since it was not possible to continue filming in a subdued atmosphere, a short break was given for the downcast survivors, and the trainees calmed down by joking around.
As the reddened eyes of the participants regained their light, the MC came in to conduct the filming.
“Hey! Congratulations to the 13 contestants who will be on the stage for the live broadcast of the finals!”
Not only the cheers of the participants, but also the sound of applause from the staff echoed throughout the set.
A shooting period of over 4 months and 100 days.
The filming was coming to an end.
“The only thing left now is your final debut evaluation!?”
In a familiar flow, the image of the composer appeared along with the light on the electronic signboard in front of my eyes.
[Nice to meet you, composer note1.]
With the composer’s greetings, the MVs of the songs the composer’s team had worked on so far passed by on the display board.
The title song of popular idol groups.
The composers of the theme evaluation songs were also not lacking in name value, but this composer was a top-tier composer among them.
Thanks to this, the participants were excited.
[The song we’re giving you for your debut evaluation is ‘rush to flight’ in the uptempo dance-pop genre!]
-Step by step, running forward
-I will never stop even if my path is far
-A song that soothes me toward my dream
-Rush to flight, fly higher
The songs in the debut evaluation are literally songs to be included in the debut album.
It was a good song, befitting a composer who spent a lot of money and recruited.
This is the follow-up song to ‘Fall in Love’, which is currently at number 1 on the charts.
It was a song that made me hum along without realizing it.
“The song is really good!”
And, befitting the choreography created by the industry’s top tier choreographer Ko Yoon-jung, the tempo-like yet cute choreography was easy to follow and brought out the charm of the dancer.
Those older sisters were humming along to a light choreography.
[As you can see from the title, this is a song that cheers you on the journey you have been running to soar.]
The strange atmosphere of the closing ceremony and the comforting lyrics.
While the participants were soaked in emotions for a while, the next composer’s face appeared on the screen.
This time again, he is a top tier composer.
[…The drill song is ‘surge and dash’ in the funky kpop genre.]
-Surge and dash, riding the fast current
-I can’t stop this feeling anymore
-Surge and dash, I’m running
-Let’s go far together
A funky song that gets you excited as soon as you hear it.
It was also noticeable that the lyricist included words reminiscent of the keyword ‘rushing toward the fans, running’, which is the keyword for ‘jeopardy’.
Familiar props coming into the set now.
A signpost divided into
A sticker with the face of each trainee.
And under each song, there were blank spaces for each part, from the main vocalist to the subvocalist to the rapper.
It was a survival program, a push that boasted a long tradition.
” Consists of 6 people, and Has 7 members. The 6-member Will be able to get more parts, right? However! That said, there is a high possibility that they will be pushed out of the 1st team!”
We were distributed with separate lyrics for each part.
I had time to think about it while listening to the song that was playing, and the MC started hosting.
“Then now! I’ll start with trainee Ahn Eun-seo, who is in 13th place, the lowest rank, and put my own sticker on the position I want!”
***
“Now second place! Trainee Lee Do-hee will put a sticker on it!”
I thought about why I always came in second place.
He is passionate about everything and has done well on stage every time. Moreover, in the 3rd contest, he was voted 1st in the individual vote and was the #1 visual pick.
You study well and play the piano well.
Excellent contestants, each with their own charm.
Even in the midst of the scattered votes, it was first place every time in terms of pure votes excluding the first place reward.
Nevertheless, the 2nd place ended up failing to win the 1st place reward in a contest that was all about on-site voting.
I can be satisfied with ‘pure vote 1st place’.
I was born with extremely high self-esteem, and since I was 5 years old, I have repeatedly won first place, and my bloated ego did not allow it.
In my heart, I was even setting a record for first place…
‘Come to think of it, after I debut this time, I won’t be able to take the midterm exam for the second semester.’
Anyway, there was one thing that was mentioned as something I lacked.
The tone that was greatly pointed out at the beginning of Jeodol 3.
I received reviews that my timbre is getting better from time to time, but I have never been praised for my voice yet.
“Ah. Ah.”
A clearer tone flowing from the vocal cords.
I am loosening my neck after putting on a sticker.
The MC looked at me with a puzzled look.
“Hana sister, I love you!”
I don’t know if I can do it perfectly.
I believed in the process I had been through, just like the lyrics of .
I took off Hana unnie’s sticker attached to the main vocal part of .
“Oh~”
“Hey~~”
“Do-hee?”
When I, who had been avoiding being the main vocalist, put my hand on the main vocal part, the reactions around me startled with a look of surprise.
“Ah, Lee Do-hee!”
Hana sister… Was smiling.
‘Did I choose the wrong one…?’
Hana unnie is more frightened when she smiles.
That person whose back end is too long.
However, it was not paid out.
I quickly moved Hana unnie’s sticker to the empty sub vocal 4 and attached my sticker to the main vocal part.
From noble mtl dot com.
And finally, Chaerin unnie, the first place winner, put a sticker on the empty rapper position of , And the position distribution was over.
***
Independent practice before taking a full-scale lesson.
Has sister Hana kindly touched my shoulder? Was kneading
‘It hurts…’
“Ah~ What is it~? I’m sure my ranking is 3rd… My part is 4 sub vocals~?”
Hana older sister who speaks playfully.
Wrong hand movements.
The competition was fierce because
Having a good singing voice.
Main Vocal – Dohee Lee
Sub Vocal 1-Sera Eun
Sub Vocal 2- Eunseo Ahn
Sub Vocal 3 – Kim Seoyoon
Sub Vocal 4 – Hana Kwon
Rapper 1-Gong Chae-rin
Although she was at the bottom of the list, most of them were pushed out at least once, with the exception of Eunseo, who luckily took on the role of sub vocalist 2 that she had chosen initially.
“I also only have four lines because of Sera~?”
Kim Seo-yoon, who was pushed by her older sister, a fourth-class Sarah, whined.
There were people who took on a line in Seasons 1 and 2, but everyone was full.
“Yes…”
Sera’s older sister is pouting and embarrassed because of Kim Seo-yoon’s pranks.
Sera decided to pull Kim Seoyoon’s aggro for her sister.
“I have a lot~ I’m envious… Ah, ah… It hurts.”
The aggro was pulled incorrectly.
The power went into Hana’s hands.
“No, but… 4 Lines is enough… Oh, I was wrong, sister!!”
Hana unnie doesn’t seem to be kidding.

Selected as the center of debut evaluation songs.
Usually, they would have voted on the spot before being selected, but the center part on the final stage, a live broadcast, was the opportunity to stand out the most and was the biggest concern of viewers.
That’s why the production team’s rules were added to the center selection this time.
All trainees participate in the center selection, and the video evaluation method is the same as at the time of tier readjustment.
All participants had to record a practice video in the center and be evaluated.
Of course, the opportunity is once.
However, if the trainer teachers did the evaluation then, this time the team members directly evaluated and then voted.
We, the
Team, also sat around a table in the darkroom and started evaluating the images played on the front screen.
– Chae-rin is very refreshing, so it’s nice to see her.
-Yeah, Chaerin is really good at dancing.
-Something like the lyrics, the feeling of really cheering us on? I feel that way.
Just looking at the dance, Chaerin unnie was the most likely center for her.
However, the center part had to digest the vocal part as well as the dance, as three measures of the killing part of the chorus were provided.
Chaerin unnie, a rapper.
The vocals were somewhat disappointing.
-Hana unnie feels stable in dancing and singing.
-Yeah, it seems to hold the center very well.
Hana older sister.
The full style.
However, Hana did not have a fresh image like her song.
-Seoyun is so cute~
-That’s right, it goes so well with the image!
-Um…Seoyun-nim…Isn’t my style unfortunately…hahahaha~
-You’re not my style either?
-Uh-huh, don’t divide the two top easters~
Seoyun older sister.
The vocals stand out and he dances well.
What can I say?
-Eunseo has really improved a lot in dancing.
-That’s why it’s so different.
At the time of her first competition, she was Eunseo’s older sister who was on the same team. She
She was Eunseo who was criticized for standing in her center, but her skills improved a lot in 4 months.
-Sera really dances lightly and well.
-You can hear the song loudly, and the pitch is very accurate without any shaking.
-But I think it’s very strange to sing lightly.
-More than anything, Sera really seems to know how to look pretty.
Sera’s older sister.
The main vocalist with a classic appearance.
A visual pick and a skill pick.
She was like a candidate for first place.
“Is it my chalian now?”
“That’s not my style.”
“No, the video hasn’t even been released yet.”
“What?”
After 4 months of filming, I feel more comfortable in front of the camera now.
Anyway, my center practice video played on the screen.
“Lee Yeol~ The original center word~”
From the beginning, Hana unnie put in the chooimsae.
“Wow… It’s really pretty.”
And the inner feelings leaked out without my knowledge.
Chaerin unni said with an absurd smile.
“Can the other party say that?”
What should I do with pretty things?
Still, I had to do an evaluation, so I kept my mouth shut for now.
“First of all, Dohee has something that really attracts people with her eye smile.”
“That’s right. When Dohee is in the center, I have to say that she doesn’t get distracted by other people. She’s tall and has good proportions, so it feels like she suits the center? It also has a feeling of spreading like a gradation.”
Unnie Chaerin and Unseo Eunseo give normal evaluations.
“Dohee… Is cute.”
On the other hand, Sera’s older sister is abnormal.
“She’s pretty, but… Do-hee isn’t my style?”
Seoyun Kim.
“I like all of Dohee, but it’s a pity that she took away my main vocalist.”
Hana unnie… Always smiles and jokes about it.
…At this point, I feel really upset.
The only adult among us, Hana older sister.
The back end is really long.
