Damn Idol Episode 63
Still, it's not that I really disliked Eddie.
Until a few days ago, I was suffering from severe regression depression, but my mood changed when I heard that Eddie was coming as a judge.
It's so absurd to see such crazy behavior.
"Edward!"
At that time, the Go PD, that is, PD Kim Dal-in, approached and whispered something to Eddie.
Eddie shrugged and greeted me before disappearing, and this time PD Kim spoke to me.
"Han Sion participant."
"yes."
"If you talk too much in private with the judges, it may cause anxiety in other teams about a biased decision."
No, why are you doing this to me?
It was Eddie who came and spoke to me.
"I will be careful."
"And Way From Flowers wants to film content together. What do you think?"
"Is it like a talk show?"
"No. <Beads Live> is a YouTube content that links together hit songs and sings them live. They want to use Han Si-on as a special feature."
If that's the case, that's fine.
It will be one step closer to debut.
I can show a proper live performance to those who say my singing skills are good.
"I will appear."
"yes. For your information, our filming team will also follow."
"All right."
It's rare for auditionees to appear on other entertainment programs, but if the circumstances are right, there's nothing wrong with that.
Well, besides, it's a YouTube content.
While I was thinking that, PD Kim Dal-in was pacing around me even though the story was over.
I looked at him wondering if he had more to say, and suddenly he held out a piece of paper.
"Just one autograph... ... ."
Where has the person who was talking about biased judgment just now gone?
I guess this is why PD Kang Seok-woo called him an torturer.
>고문관 Go mun gwan = Advisor or torturer = used as a teasing term to refer to a person who makes others laugh by acting immaturely or clumsy. That's why he is called Go PD.
As I was signing autographs, the staff motioned for me to quickly get on the bus.
Today was the day when the Coming Up Next participants have a photo shoot.
They said we couldn't take a pictorial in Pocheon, so we went to a studio somewhere in Apgujeong.
"Everyone on board!"
When I got on the bus with the staff shouting, all the participants except me were already on board.
But perhaps because I arrived late, there aren't many seats left.
The only thing left was the seat next to Choi Jae-seong and Fade.
"Hyung."
Choi Jae-seong, who called me, tapped the seat next to him as if he had left the seat empty on purpose.
Hmm.
I know people call me HipSion.
I don't know exactly what being hip means, but it seems to mean enjoying choices that other people don't make.
So, I have to live up to expectations, right?
"Hi?"
"......!"
As I sat down next to Fade, I could feel people's heads turning.
It wasn't long ago that we both swore and fought.
"Why... ... ."
Fade is also confused as if he doesn't know what to say.
Is not it?
'I want to swear, but am I having a breakdown because I'm holding back because there are so many eyes watching?'
Anyway, Fade didn't seem to understand why I sat next to him.
It wasn't something I had planned either.
But there is a reason.
I wanted to remind Fade of what kind of relationship I have with him.
Fade raised a dispute based on his influence on the program, and I accepted it calmly.
A situation arose where either Fade apologized or I had to leave.
Everyone probably thought it was a ridiculous fight, but it was Fade who apologized.
After that, the reason we just ignored each other wasn't because I was avoiding the fade.
Fade was avoiding me.
I still have Fade's apology video on my phone, and the popularity of the program is derived from me.
However, these days, Fade can be seen teasing the members of 3 M & 100 D.
I don't say it out loud, but it's secretly unpleasant.
It's obvious what's going on in these guy's head.
A sense of superiority that makes him want to prove that he is being pushed by Han Si-on, not by you guys.
Inferiority complex and wanting to relieve the shame inflicted on him by the 3 M & 100 D members.
Well, he is a consistent guy.
Strangely enough, I don't remember the details of For the Youth's activities, but I remember what kind of guys the members were at that time.
Especially Fade, which was the worst.
The bus departed, and the people who were looking at me and Fade turned their heads.
Because Fade and I were sitting at the very back of the bus, there was a sense that the gaze disappeared quickly.
Then Fade takes out his cell phone, types a message, and shows it to me.
[If you don't say something nice, go to the side.]
Since he wrote a message but didn't send it, I guess he thinks I have some kind of elaborate plan.
There is no such thing.
Ah, maybe I was influenced by Eddie.
Because I have lived so many different lives, with so many personalities, for so long, I sometimes imitate the behavior of people around me without even realizing it.
When talking to Eddie, the personality of the episode that lived recklessly like Eddie appears, and when confronting Fade, the shady personality that manipulated others from behind the scenes appears.
Anyway, the returnees are all sensitive and very fickle people.
Oh, of course it's my story.
Because I've never seen another regressor other than me.
[Let's be close ^^b] (b = ㅠ crying emoticon)
When I send a message to Fade in the form of a human being, his face rots away.
Well, I won't provoke you any further than this.
Fade is a guy who is sensitive to things like implicit superior-subordinate relationships and influence within a group.
At this level, you would have understood the message to stay quiet and not fuss from now on.

Dance, song, face, body, patience, mentality, physical strength... ... .
There are many indicators to evaluate idols, and there are many ways to improve the indicators.
You can improve your dancing and singing skills through consistent training, and you can improve your appearance through surgery or procedures.
You can manage your patience by hiring a competent manager, and you can manage your mental health by hiring a psychological counseling expert.
But just one thing.
It is a really important indicator for idols, but there are elements that are difficult to improve afterward.
It is 'talent'.
Talent is difficult to define, but it is generally said to be a sense of immersion.
How much can you immerse yourself in the stage situation, and how much can you convey your sense of immersion to the audience?
That's why great actors are often born among idols.
Acting can be learned, but immersing yourself in a character is an innate talent.
"So, this photo shoot is taking place today."
I saw the song, I saw the dance, and I saw the stage.
So, who is the most talented among the ten participants?
Who will be the most attractive subject in front of the camera?
It was time to figure this out.
"Hey, producer. Didn't you say it was a light photo shoot?"
"Where can there be light filming in a survival program?"
"Then do you even evaluate it?"
"Sure."
The three photographers in charge of today's shoot were scheduled to evaluate take scene and three months & 100 Days.
In addition, you can select the stage setting for the next mission in order of ranking.
As producer Kang Seok-woo finished his explanation, groans emerged from the participants.
They arrived at the studio with a light heart, but it suddenly became an important mission.
However, Takescene and 3 M & 100 D, who soon adapted to reality, put their heads together and began to think about costume concepts.
Today's pictorial was filmed in two versions. The first was a self-styled outfit chosen by the members themselves.
In other words, we had to decide on the concept of 'what we think of our team'.
Needless to say, the second version is a concept that smells like money.
A photo book is scheduled to be released in collaboration with a famous magazine.
'Take Scene would be advantageous when it comes to self-costumes. I'm sure they've had concept meetings like this several times.'
Just as Producer Kang Seok-woo thought, Take Scene started pouring out ideas in an instant.
Not only did their debut is in preparation, but they were a group that was already prepared for everything.
However, surprisingly, 3 months and 100 days also came up with some pretty good ideas.
"Maybe we should take time travel?"
"Shouldn't that be the case? Because I suddenly can't think of any other concepts here... ... ."
"But I don't think there is any symbolism in time travel."
"How about a pocket watch?"
"Oh, it's okay? Is there anything else?"
"An umbrella!"
"Oh, time travel is also travel?"
"yes!"
"hmm... ... . okay. Let's write it down first. If you're traveling, would you like a compass or a map?"
"I think it will be strange. Umbrellas can be used in any era, but maps can only be used in certain places, right? The compass... ... I do not know."
"If it's ambiguous, you have to leave it out."
PD Kang Seok-woo watched the 3 M & 100 D's idea meeting and couldn't help but think of the previous mission song, Seoul Town Funk.
In fact, he thought that <Self-Production Mission> would be creaky for 3 M & 100 D.
why?
'Because of Han Sion.'
Han Si-on is a genius.
And average geniuses don't understand why they can't do as well as he does.
However, it didn't seem like the members of 3 M & 100 D's would obediently listen to Han Sion's orders.
But what was it like in reality?
Han Si-on did not show any of the eccentricity of a genius and respected the members' opinions.
He was even seen getting scolded by the members often.
At the same time, the members of 3 M & 100 D's entrusted all musical aspects except song selection to Han Sion.
As a result, an amazing stage called Seoul Town Funk was born.
Although it hasn't aired yet, producer Kang Seok-woo was confident that Seoul Town Funk would be a turning point for the program.
Until now, more than 90% of the program's buzz was focused on Han Si-on.
There was even a feeling that Coming Up Next did not seem like a survival program because Han Sion had so much buzz.
However, the moment Seoul Town Punk is revealed, there will be a feeling of survival between the two teams.
You can't erase the feeling that <Han Sion's Three Months and a Hundred Days> and <Take Scene> are connected, but tension is created.
'It's so amazing. How can one be so skilled with such talent?'
What Kang Seok-woo sees in Han Si-on is not an eccentric genius, but a genius who knows how to embrace everyone.
It doesn't seem like that at all when he performs on individual stages, but when they stage as a team, he knows how to work together.
Lee Ion is still leading the meeting, but Han Si-on is providing adequate support.
However, suddenly Han Si-on started expressing strange opinions.
"I just wish the Ion hyung's pocket watch had a different color. We're silver, and you're purple? Gray instead of purple is okay too."
"Huh? Why?"
"It would be too long to explain why here."
"At least briefly."
"On the bus earlier, I finished arranging Eddi.....Ward's song?"
"Uh, really? Can you tell us?"
"I just finished it in my head. Anyway, after finishing the arrangement, I thought it would be nice to use a pocket watch as a stage prop."
"Oh, so you said pocket watch?"
"Yes."
"hmm... ... . Then let me ask you this."
Lee Ion looked at Han Si-ion and asked.
"Is it HipSion or GodSion?"
"Excuse me?"
"I'm asking whether you want to change the color of the pocket watch to HipSion or GodSion."
"... ... It's a bit difficult to say it with my own mouth."
"It's Godsion. Okay. Then I will accept it."
After quickly coordinating their opinions, 3 M & 100 D's immediately began deciding on outfits.
After listening carefully, he realized that they were planning to bring different outfits for all the members.
Lee Ion is a British suit during the Industrial Revolution.
Koo Tae-hwan wears hanbok from the Joseon Dynasty.
Choi Jae-seong's Korean high school uniform.
On Saemiro is a racing suit that gives off a near-future feel.
Han Sion is American retro fashion from the 70s and 80s.
It really is very different.
However, as the designs are different, the colors used in the costumes are completely unified.
Wearing the same pocket watch adds to the sense of unity.
Since it was a time travel concept, they did not want to specify the era.
