90 – Age 15 (45)
Same scene again.
Trainers’ last lesson.
After the vocal, rap, and dance classes.
Trainers explaining to the trainees how to select the center for the final stage.
[Singing and dancing at the same time…]
The interviews with all the trainees who wanted to become the center passed one after another.
[As this is the last stage, I definitely want to be the center.]
[Because this is your last chance…]
[I want to show you.]
Leaving behind viewers who were curious about who the center was right now, the VCR ended with the subtitles .
Then the MC came back on stage and grabbed the microphone.
Befitting a famous MC with experience, the MC conducted interviews with the trainers while ad-libbing skillfully, giving the contestants time to prepare for the stage.
“Let’s go! Finally, after a long journey, the final debut evaluation where the 7 debutants will be born!”
The MC, who had been taking a moderate amount of time, finally shouted a word.
And a series of cheers echoed through the hall.
“The 13 trainees were divided into groups of 6 and 7, respectively, and presented two songs, And .”
“Two stages. Two centers. Chuseos are also curious about who became the center?”
-Yeah!!!
“The center! We will reveal it through the upcoming stage! First! Let’s meet the Team’s center selection process and stage! It’s show time!”
***
“Oh, the bathroom? Hurry up and come!”
Seoyoon unnie ran out of the waiting room toward the bathroom.
Ugh, Seoyoon Kim.
A crowded waiting room under the stage.
The staff shouted in all directions.
“Team ! We have to move to the stage in 3 minutes!”
The hair, makeup, and coordination teachers who fixed the hair at the end were busy.
Trim and comb your hair.
Check the costumes and makeup once again.
“I’m moving now!”
On the way out of the waiting room.
Seoyun unnie, who had gone to the bathroom before I knew it, came over and held my hand tightly.
‘Why is this all of a sudden?’
“Dohee, don’t be afraid, let’s just do what we do, okay?”
Although she seemed to be talking to me pretending to be her sister though.
Seoyoon’s hands were shaking.
“Isn’t that what you need to eat Cheongsim pill?”
“…I forgot to bring it.”
Seoyun unnie was often nervous.
Even during the trainee’s end-of-month evaluation, she lived wearing a cheongsimhwan.
“Hana sister was holding it?”
“Really? Oh, I’ll tell you soon!”
Kim Seo-yoon ran again this time towards Hana, who passed through the aisle earlier.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Ehh…”
In a crowded situation.
The Team moved under the stage.
My hands began to tremble little by little at the resounding cheers that came from the stage.
Excitement maybe nervous.
‘Shouldn’t I have eaten Cheongsimhwan too?’
The members standing in a circle.
Just when I was nervous and wanted to say anything nonsense, Hana, her face flushed red, stretched out her hand to the center of her and shouted.
“Kids, put your hands together!”
Everyone shouted one word at a time and put their hands together in the middle.
“Yes…!”
“Yes!”
“Whoa…Let’s go!”
“You can do it!”
Me too.
“Yeah!”
During the practice process, one sister sang a fighting slogan made after the title of the song.
“Rush to Flight!”
“””Going!”””
And the staff who answered the radio urgently shouted several times.
Pointing to the stage set.
“Now I’m ready! I’m ready! I’m going in!”
***
On the stage again, on the screen.
The process of selecting a center for the team was starting.
[Chaerin is very cool…]
Viewers were hoping that their pick would be the center while watching the contestants praising each other.
Finally, the final two center candidates selected through the team’s internal center vote.
The two faces came out in two parts and the subtitle Ran together.
-The center is Doheeji ㅅㅅㅋㅋㅋ
-Shut up Sarahim
-Queensera force is not a joke hahahahaha
-It’s so nice that both Dohee and Sera are candidates for the center ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-So while I was doing Produce… I didn’t see our single center…
-Chaerin and Seoyoon also looked good at the center…
A personal interview with the two candidates for the center came out.
[Eunsera: I also want to be a center… But Dohee is cute…! You can give me the center!]
[Lee Do-hee: Being a center candidate is good, but I really want to be a center!]
[Q: Trainee Eunsera said it was okay to give up the center to Dohee…]
[Lee Do-hee: (Embarrassed expression) Hmm… Ah… Sera unnie fighting!]
The viewing screen returned to the concert hall with subtitles.
The backstage screen was caught on the viewing screen.
The screen is divided into six sections with the faces of the members.
The theme melody of Started to resonate.
And then, a gradation of azure like wind permeated the screen.
Finally, cloud-colored letters floated on the screen with the sky drawn on it as if flying.
[Rush to Flight!]
The stage equipment in front of the screen gradually rose to the theme melody and up-tempo beat, and the audience reflexively cheered.
The cheers reached their climax when the stage set was perfectly raised.
Five people standing in a semicircular formation with one person in the center as the center on the stage set up and posing with their hands on each other’s shoulders.
And the trainee, standing alone at the center, bobbed her head upward and smiled.
The image was zoomed up and subtitles were displayed on the viewing screen.
-Wow, what should I do? Why are you so pretty? I’m dying. I’m really crazy.
-It’s the center, Doheehae ㅠㅠ
-Dohee Jool is pretty
-Children’s visual hahahaha This is a girl group!
-We even did a center for Dohee’s memo ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– …(Death of breathlessness)
Six people posing on stage equipment.
Starting with Dohee, the center, they started walking towards the stage as if they were on a runway.
In addition, white and black punched off-shoulder blouses, lace sleeveless, tube tops, see-through blouses, dresses, etc. Worn by each member in various ways.
The youthful feminine sensibility between a girl and an adult has already drawn viewers’ attention.
The 6 members finally took their places on the stage.
The theme melody gradually faded away like an echo.
The lighting is also completely blacked out, so the stage where no light can be seen.
Now, the audience also stopped cheering and looked at the stage with eyes filled with anticipation.
Jeonju, white noise with a refreshing sound flowing like a wave.
White noise gradually had a melody and then became a theme melody.
And when dazzling lights burst from the stage.
The six stood in a row with center Dohee at the head.
I couldn’t tell if it was because of Dohee’s full face on the screen or if she just reflexively cheered at the beginning of the stage, but the audience screamed as if their eardrums would explode.
Amidst the roar, the voice of Dohee, who was in charge of the introduction and center, broke through like meteors cutting through the night sky.
-A star that shines in the deepest place
Five arms stretched out from behind as if drawing a star.
The members folded their arms and moved vigorously in the ranks.
A choreography with big and powerful movements reminiscent of cheerleading.
-I’m following you now
Starting with Kim Seo-yoon, who took over Dohee’s vocals.
-Look at me again today
Participants took over one measure at a time and hit the center.
-Dreams dance between your fingers
It shines the brightest light
Shine on me again today
A beat that became more and more intense as each verse passed.
As we entered the pre-chorus, it became calm like the night before the storm.
-Even when darkness falls
If only I had you shining
Participants smile at each other while performing a mirror dance as if cheering each other.
-If only there were stars to shine today
As her center, Sera lets out her first high-pitched part with a voice that cuts through her AR.
Temporarily, the comment section was filled with ‘wow’ final words.
The pinnacle of up-tempo without even having time to write long impressions.
We entered the chorus singing together.
-Step by step, moving forward
Even if the road is long, I will never stop
Ironically, unlike the beat that reached its climax, the colorful and powerful choreography was changed to light and monotonous cute choreography such as stretching one’s feet and crossing one’s hands.
-A song that soothes me toward my dream
Thanks to this, the audience watched the high-quality stage with their mouths open, but now they watched with their mouths raised at the cute taste.
Finally, the last center part of the chorus.
‘Stop flirting!!!’, ‘Don’t let go, did Dohee flirt with you first?’ With comments making the same fuss.
Once again, Dohee’s softened tone spread.
-Rush to flight, fly higher!
The tempo drops sharply after the first verse.
As if being swept away by a wave, the participants on stage quickly moved to a new stage for the second verse.
Verse 2.
A wider stage.
The lyrics were the same, but the formation was changed.
First, the lights rotated to focus on only the participants in that part.
At this time, the participants of the part moved first.
And the other members who move behind them as if they are attracted by gravity.
It was a choreography that expressed a shining star and the planets orbiting it, but the viewers just looked at it and said ‘Oh…’ And ‘Wow…’.
And then the pre-chorus, Gong Chae-rin’s rap part.
-I’ll illuminate the darkness, shine so bright
Don’t stop me
I’ll fly to a high place
I will protect you, trust me, it’s a certainty
The flow, which sounds short but attractive, was not lacking to give a strong impression.
After the chorus of the second verse.
A large group with everyone lined up in a straight line.
The long-awaited bridge part.
– My heart jumps
Ahn Eun-seo turns to the left first.
-Even if I’m afraid of tomorrow
One volume is on the right.
-Let’s go together
Kim Seo-yoon took two steps to the left.
-I am overwhelmed.
Sera Eun took two steps to the right.
Lastly, Do-hee, who is the center and the main vocalist, turned from the center.
I took a high note on a soaring scale and raised it.
-Rush to flight!
The moment the treble reached the end, the confetti flew and the final chorus began.
-Step by step, moving forward (Oh~)
Do-hee keeps ad-libbing high pitched ‘oh’ sounds.
-Even if the road is long, I will never stop
The rest of the members, centered on Dohee, looked at the audience and induced a response with cute hand movements.
And following the response, not only the on-site audience but also quite a few off-screen viewers hummed the easy-to-sing chorus and followed the hand movements.
-A song that soothes me toward my dream
After the response, the members gathered back to the center.
-Rush to flight Fly higher!
After the chorus, the atmosphere of the closing ceremony was given by a feeling of nostalgia somewhere in the exciting melody.
And the usual ending pose looking straight ahead.
This time, all the members finished the stage looking at the sky behind them.
It was an uptempo dance-pop song.
The last melody and the ending pose harmonized, giving viewers a sense of sadness that is the final stage and giving a subtle aftertaste.
And the first post after the performance.
[It’s already over…? Give me back my stage… ㅠㅠ]
