★ The Second Life Idols Lucky Plan – Chapter 110
『ADMIN: System barrier recovery completed.』
As if someone was clearing away the dizzying noises that were blocking the view, they disappeared.
While the stat window, which had been a mess due to errors, was regaining stability, I watched the 'administrator's' notifications as if I was possessed by something.
『ADMIN: Forced penalties due to unknown errors will be stopped, system will be restored.』
『Admin: Restore all quest history of 'User: Won Yoo-ha'.』
『NOW LOADING...』
『ADMIN: Partially successful in restoring the quest history of 'User: Won Yoo-ha'.』
『ADMIN: Failed to restore the 'Buff: Beginner's Luck' effect of 'User: Won Yoo-ha'.』
『ADMIN: Failed to restore 'Title: Avoiding Bad Luck' of 'User: Won Yoo-ha'.』
『ADMIN: Restore the Lucky Roulette function that was closed due to an unknown error.』
The disappearing insight mark reappears under the stat window, and the button on the lucky roulette that had lost its luster begins to glow golden again and shine brilliantly.
『ADMIN: Grant the scenario to 'User: Won Yoo-ha' with the authority of 'Admin'.』
After the content of the quest that was in front of my eyes completely disappeared new letters began to be typed as if someone was writing them down one by one.
"...!"
I finally checked the 'scenario' and was left speechless.

On the night that <Design Your Idol> aired, the K-pop community was on fire.
5.9%. On Anet, a cable channel that is said to be the largest music broadcasting company in Korea, the viewership ratings can only be described as a 'big hit'.
As <Design Your Idol>, which maintained a buzz throughout the broadcast, came to a spectacular conclusion, it was only natural that K-pop fan's attention was focused on the project group 'OneDear', which was finally formed.
-Wow, I was just taking a quick look at <Design Your Idol>, but they were already selected. Did you guys really bite your teeth and vote??? The visuals are crazy hahahaha
└Can you see it? Our >>sincerity<<
└^ㅡ^ their beautiful faces are the pride of us
-The visuals are also beautiful, and while we're at it, let's talk about the kids' skills... I'm already curious about their positions... Yoo-ha, Aiden, Hyunjin, Jihyeok, Danwoo and Chanhee, there's a sense of incongruity no matter where you go. A lineup that you can't really see anywhere, including the all-rounder Se-rim;
└Is there a group made up of only members who are all in the main position?
└Is there any meaning in dividing positions? LOL
└ Wow, come to think of it, they said they would debut an idol group with the perfect abilities of each Anet member, and in the end, they achieved their goal;;
Although the group hasn't even debuted yet, people's expectations for 'OneDear' were already high.
The members of OneDear who were selected after a fierce vote aiming for the best visuals, skills, and characters among the 100 trainees.
It could be said that the lineup was so good because it was a competition conducted on 100 trainees from numerous entertainment companies.
In the end, it meant that it was the result of a combination of the eyes of not one but dozens of entertainment companies and the direction of idol makers, that is, the direction of popularity.
'It is a group that we have never seen before, so we can't help but have high expectations.' The idol makers said that and continued to talk about each trainee.
The trainee's activities, skills, and impressions from the last broadcast, all of which were debated in previous broadcasts, were being discussed.
-But why did Yoo-ha suddenly collapse at the end?
The one that became the most talked about was OneDear's first center and the winner of <Design Your Idol>.
-WDYM YOOHA COLLAPSED???
└in the bts u can see Yoo-ha collapse while coming down the stairs ): all the kids were so shocked that they ran over to him
After the broadcast, which was broadcasted across the country, ended successfully, behind-the-scenes photos of what happened after the cameras were turned off were posted on various social media.
Bitter expressions of the trainees who did not make it to the rankings, the consolation they gave each other, and the farewells they gave to their fans. Fans continued to be invested in the off camera footage, but the video containing Yoo-ha was the one that received the most views.
[Oh...]
[Huh?!]
[Yoo-ha!!!!]
While the trainees who were coming down from the set were going backstage, hugging each other and putting their arms around each other, Yoo-ha, who sat at the top of the set, came down the stairs and fell forward as soon as he hit the ground.
The trainees who were waiting for Won Yoo-ha to come down ran to him with distraught expressions and helped him up.
The idol maker who was taking the picture also seemed flustered, and the screen shook like crazy, so it was not easy to make out his expression, but it was clear that Won Yoo-ha's face was pale.
Yoo-ha, who stood up with the trainee's support, seemed unable to come to his senses for a moment but eventually stood straight and bowed to the fans.
He limped with an apologetic smile, batting his long fox-like eyelashes repeatedly. He told the fans he was okay and disappeared backstage, supported by Aiden Lee and Ju Danwoo.
Idol makers who watched the released video could not hide their worries.
-I didn't even notice how much he was struggling. I hope it's not too serious or terminal. Being under KRM must be tough
└ What is KRM even doing?
└ this is terrifying... what if he blacked out mid way down the stairs and had a concussion?
Yoo-ha's agency, KRM, was famous for its indifference to the health of its artists. Even if the company's artists had health problems or complained of fatigue, the company would go ahead with their schedules without any notice or response.
The same was true during the recent incident. Even though reckless rumors and slander circulated on the Internet regarding Yoo-ha's past history, which was revealed by sasaengs, KRM Entertainment did not try to do anything about it.
Even though fans were furious and collected comments and sent them to the agency as PDF files, no notice was posted. Because Won Yoo-ha belongs to such a company, fans had no way of knowing about the artist's health unless he directly spoke about it. Even that cannot be said without permission from the company.
-But what even is OD's agency???? Even though they each belong to different agencies, it's a group, so they won't manage each separately, right?
[PRD: OD = OneDear]
Netizens began talking about which agency the trainees who will be working as OneDear in the future will be managed.
└I'm chill as long as it's not KRM lol
└Honestly... I hope they don't use any of the 7 members agencies... Except for KRM and DIO, who are mid-level, they're all bullshit lol just look at how they manage their talent and treat their artists.
└ Nine Hit seems to treat it's artists well but it's too small
-Is Anet directly managing it? Still, I don't know what their like since it's a broadcasting company;;
└Pretty sure they own OD, but they said they were looking for an agency. Selecting one agency other than the agency of the trainees who appeared and leave it to them to manage.
└Ah, but all the good mid-sized companies were sent out.. There is no way the large-sized ones will do it, so what's left is nothing, right?
Idol makers who have been in the industry for a long time already know the importance of agencies very well.
No matter how excellent a member's abilities are, if the agency is unable to support them, their activities will inevitably be restricted. Trapped into the curse of nugudom.
Of course, in this case, there was nothing to worry about since Anet would be behind OneDear for at least five years, but the size of the agency would still be important.
-Ah...Survival is over, but why do I think the road ahead will also be thorny? ):
-you'renot the only one worried now.
The more I thought about it, the more there seemed to be so many land mines.
First of all, don't all 7 members have their own main agency? Just looking at that, there would have been too many things to worry about.
Since the agency is planning to push the members, starting from the selling point, there are many intertwined interests, so a war of nerves between the agencies will inevitably occur.
Like KRM, there is a possibility that the agency that will be in charge of management will be blinded by commerce and provide excellent active support, but will provide insufficient care for each member. There is even a possibility that they will treat members differently depending on their popularity or the power of their agency.
Even if we somehow manage to avoid these problems, isn't idol activity something that only the members are good at?
-If they want my support... With one mind and one will, treat the members fairly without discrimination, match the kids' concepts well, coordinate as the coordinator does, do the job as the planner does, provide care as the care is given, and just do your own thing~~ㅠ Is that really that difficult?
Difficult.
Such a company could not exist in K-pop. Isn't that why all idol fans hate their agencies?
However, even though idol makers knew that they wanted a unicorn-level agency, they had no choice but to hope. 'I want my idol to walk the flowery path as comfortably as possible.'
Therefore, it was a time when idol makers were anxiously debating the future direction of their members.
-But I think I know where they're going to go.
Idol makers' attention was immediately focused on one comment about the 'chirashi' someone threw.
