110 Wendy, the chatterbox idol

"Woah, look at that guy. Is he a model turned idol?" "His debut video has over 100 million views." "I watched Treasure Campus. That guy's vocal prowess is insane"

"I watched the mv. You know, there was this backup dancer who looks just like an idol" "Ugh, even his manager's looks aren't average" "I wonder which plastic surgeon he visited"

"I heard that he used to be in ZC. Must be really awkward to join its archrival company" "Yeah, I heard that he was supposed to debut with Resonance" "I heard that he's the elder brother of the Sparkle group's Dahyun"

"Hey, let's go and say Hello"

Whether they are female idols or male idols, rookies or not, popular or not, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves as soon as Jun entered the waiting hall along with his dance crew. It was as if some top global star had arrived at the scene. Such is the presence that Jun has. He has height, looks, great vocals, and top company as background; there are many things that he has that someone can be envious of.

Meanwhile, Jun spotted a few familiar faces like the members of KARD and Redwings, with whom his past owner was acquainted while others like Boyz, Wekimeki, IN2IT, and Pristin, he only saw their counterparts in his previous life.

As Jun wondered whether he should go and say hello or should he stay in a corner and chat with his dance crew, BM approached him, "Hey, Sungjun!"

"Hyung." Jun engaged in a conversation with him. And BM dragged Jun to his team and then to Redwings group. Some of the members were already recognized but due to their current popularity, they couldn't approach someone of the opposite gender so openly because they were afraid of unnecessary rumors.

However, as a senior trainee who was familiar with the girls of the same agency, it wouldn't be weird if BM approached them. Fortunately, by that time, Jiwoo of KARD was already talking with them. As she greeted him first, Jun felt a bit less awkward and returned the greetings with a light bow, "Hello."

As he too greeted the idols the previous owner of his body was familiar with, Irene just barely gave him a glance and nodded before getting back to browsing. Yeri and Seulgi also formally bowed in return but refuse to speak further despite recognizing him.

Maybe, they were just trying to maintain her image or weren't just interested to converse with him or BM. Jun doesn't know what they were thinking but he sure felt slightly hurt when being ignored like that.

Thankfully, Wendy and Solar looked like they didn't care much about the surroundings and properly responded as BM introduced Jun to them. If not for them, he would have returned to his crew.

"Of course, why wouldn't I recognize, SungJun-ssi?" Wendy casually waved her hand with a smile as she looked at him. Solar then added, "We have interacted several times when we were trainees. Our training rooms used to be on the same floor, I think?"

"Ah, yes." Jun nodded and replied, "It's been a while, sunbae."

"So, how were you doing these days?" "Are you still in contact with anyone from ZC?" "Just a while ago, Hyoyeon-unnie was actually talking about you. She said she will visit you after their world tour." "Dahyun-ssi was doing well, I guess. She's like the next generation and we barely get to meet…" "Don't need to worry about her. I'll be in touch with her…"

"I should say variety show business isn't that fun as it appears on television." "Ugh, don't get me started with running man. It's one of the most physically draining programs. And after that shooting, we will always have either photoshoot somewhere or attend the event. It takes a toll on your mind or body. That's why we no longer go there for promotions"

"You know what is the biggest problem is variety shows? It is the editing. If you do ten actions, only one or two will be made to the final cut. When we see ourselves, we couldn't help but feel bad or regret but then again, we have no choice. The company will decide your plans whether you like it or not" "Ah, no, the idol Olympics are for newbies. Not to mention, almost no one would resign the contract with MBC once those three years are up. You are actually lucky. Since you are solo, you wouldn't have to prepare or participate in that hellish program."

**

As Wendy looked as if she was throwing all of her frustration onto Jun, her group mates couldn't help but look at Jun in pity. Wendy was a bit of a chatterbox when she gets to meet a good listener like Jun. On the other hand, Jun wondered whether Wendy from his past world was also like this or if this counterpart just has a different character.

Because of Wendy's nonstop talking about this and that, Solar and Jiwoo didn't get to talk with him and Jun slowly started regretting tagging along with BM who had already abandoned him a while ago.

Soon, the staff members informed everyone to get the final touches for their make-up or hair as the live performances were about to start within half an hour. Roughly about 300 people filled the audience section by the time the show started.

One after another, the artists performed on the live stage. Jun was also done with his performance and waited until the end.

Once all of the performances are over, the Emcees at the moment, BTOB's Yook Sung-Jae, and Lovelyz Mijoo stepped onto the stage for the winner announcement.

Meanwhile, all the idol groups stood behind them, according to the order the staff gave them. For example, the popular ones are standing at the front while the groups from small agencies were standing at the back.

While Jun's dance crew stayed outside of the stage, he was standing next to Mijoo, of course, maintaining some distance. Right behind him, the 'In2It' group was standing uniformly like others. Maybe, it is really bad luck for Inpyo that he gets to stand behind Jun.

Lee Inpyo, a 6ft tall guy is almost the center of attention because of his height whenever his group goes out but Jun's 6ft 2in height made it almost impossible for the main camera to capture Inpyo as it is shooting from a straight angle. Meanwhile, the members of the Redwings group are standing next to Yook Sungjae.

Of course, the Emcees are at the center of the stage but for some reason, Jun felt like most of the cameras are focused on him. Or maybe, it is just him.

Very soon, he realized the reason why he was feeling that way and why he was placed at the front.

Looking at the cue card, Mijoo started speaking, "It's time to see the K-chart winner for the fourth week of April 2019… I mean April 2018. Yes, that's right…" She made a mistake right from the start but was quick to cover up her clumsiness, "Between Han Sung-Jun and Redwing, who will win the first place?"

Yook Sung-Jae then spoke his dialogue, "Please show us the scores"

There were no scores on display at all. It was only for the ones who were watching on television. Jun doesn't know his scores and just glanced at them from the corner of his eyes.

"Congratulations, Han Sung-Jun for the perfect score" "Congratulations"

As soon as both of them announced his win, confetti fell from the top and the music is already started in the background.

Mijoo readily handed him the mic while congratulating him again, this time in a low tone. He thanked her and then started singing along to the song that was already playing in the background.
