Damn Idol Episode 81

Of course, not all audience members knew the exact situation like Lee Young-ha.

But it doesn't matter.

Music is not something that can be enjoyable only if you have knowledge, and Han Si-on has long since put aside such vanity.

The stage entered verse 2 with cheers.

If the first verse was filled with the members' skills, the second verse was filled with memories.

The song is full of stage elements that the Sedalbaekil members showed while performing Coming Up Next.

But the highlight was Lee Ion's free hook and Han Si-on's hook that came back once again.

Five Driving- Da- Da

Diving into memories- Da- Da

That's how the last stage of 3 Months and 100 Days, <3 100 Months and Days>, came to an end.

Everyone in the audience was thinking the same thing.

'Three months and one hundred days won.'

It is unconditional.

No matter what the take scene does, it can't be beat.

* * *

-Wow!

"thank you!"

"thank you! "It was three months and one hundred days."

Amid the cheers of the audience, Sedalbaekil bowed his head.

Yes, you are an audience, not an audience member.

People who enjoyed our performance at this moment would have been immersed regardless of the program called Coming Up Next.

"Everyone worked hard."

"Ion, you were really cool."

"really… … . it was good."

"Did we do well?"

Perhaps because it is the last stage, the members' voices are wet.

Meanwhile, Blue came up on stage and tried to settle the situation.

However, the people's cheering is so loud that it is not easy to calm down.

Someone even jokingly started an encore and it was passed around by word of mouth.

-Encore!

-Encore!

It exploded quite loudly.

Of course, those who supported the take scene were silent with dissatisfied expressions, but at least half of them seemed to be shouting for an encore.

That sight reminded me of what I said while preparing for the stage of <Three 100 Months and Days>.

"No matter what we do in the final stage, the take scene ends in victory. Even if it means creating a scene that doesn't exist."

"but. "I hope we win on the field."

"So much so that the 2,000 audience members tilted their heads. To the point of disobeying the judges' comments. "After the broadcast, the viewer bulletin board was plastered with complaints."

These words came true.

Even without seeing the take scene stage, I am confident that we won.

Of course, the judges will find fault somehow and talk about it, and in the end, the take scene will receive a higher score.

But it doesn't matter.

I think the Sedalbaekil members will be able to do well even in a world without me.

Thanks to today's memory.

And so our final stage ended and the judging began.

* * *

After the judges' evaluation.

A special VCR was broadcast to calm the excited atmosphere.

Broadcasting stations have to prepare for various situations, so they prepare various things.

The VCR being broadcast now has also been prepared in case of unexpected delays in the contest.

So PD Kang Seok-woo was dumbfounded.

I never imagined that this VCR would be played on a certain stage because it generated such a big response.

'It's a waste.'

According to capitalist logic, the winner of Coming Up Next was decided by Take Scene.

No complaints.

Because it was a program planned that way from the beginning.

But what if this program was really fair?

If only we could shed light on the spectacular stage of Sedal101 and the sweat behind it.

It probably created the best scene a reality program could create.

But work and emotions must be separated.

* * *

After hearing the judges' comments and getting off the stage, my emotions slowly subsided.

The sense of elation and accomplishment that comes from a satisfying performance disappeared in an instant.

To be honest, I was a little embarrassed.

I know that my mood swings are severe, but it's not easy to ride a roller coaster like this.

However, I tried my best not to show off and praised the members' performances one by one.

Interestingly enough, the members of Sedalbaekil were waiting for my evaluation more than the judges' comments.

Because only we know what we had in mind when decorating this stage.

"I think I did really well because I received praise from Shion."

"Right? "It's very precious."

Moreover, the four judges gave our performance 376 points.

The average score is 94 points.

It was a great stage audibly, but visually it was disappointing.

This is nonsense.

It's not a mix of different genres, and if you dance to traditional tropical house any more, it's too much.

No matter how important a K-pop idol's performance is, shouldn't it destroy the atmosphere of the song?

While thinking about that, I suddenly felt that the surroundings were quiet.

Looking to the side, the members are immersed in their own thoughts.

3 month filming period.

If you count the B team selection process, it will take about 100 days.

Because that ends today.

"But I rented it? "We only have 2 months and 23 days."

"There are 8 days left to complete 3 months?"

"Right."

"Then we can take a trip by ourselves… … ."

Lee Ion stops talking.

I guess I realized late that I had to join the take scene.

Yes, that's right.

Since the debut of the take scene is just around the corner, we need to learn the choreography, record it, and film the music video.

"It would be fun to play with the four of us."

So I ended up saying this.

I might be able to take a day off, but the three month and one hundred day journey has to end here.

Quite calmly, this is as far as I can take the side of three months and a hundred days.

If you become part of the take scene, you have to do your best there.

Because that's what a regressor does.

At that time, a roar was heard from the audience.

Because the take scene was on stage.

The take scene stage set to the song <Dream Take> was not bad.

We danced to a tight, sticky deep house song, and the performance was quite good.

The live performance is also solid.

Hmm, but I think the expression future house would be more appropriate than deep house.

If you had left the arrangement to me, I think I would have arranged it as future bounce rather than future house.

I think it would have been better to have a bouncy feeling rather than a sticky feeling.

-Baby, I do, Love it

-Three words are enough.

The take scenes are clearly trained.

I may have been mentally shaken after seeing our performance, but I was completely focused.

If 3 months and 101 days is 100 points, is it about 90 points?

Considering that I led it for three months and 100 days, that's great.

Now that I think about it, Coming Up Next's plan seemed quite plausible.

The structure is such that the initial cuts are given to the unique B team participants, and as the episode progresses, the focus is increasingly focused on the stage of the take scene.

What if the finale was marked with <Dream Take>?

No viewer would have questioned Take Scene's victory.

If it weren't for me, there wouldn't have been Koo Tae-hwan, and there wouldn't have been any concerns about Lee Ion's tone.

Oh, if we limit it to the beginning of the program, it might have been better without me as Onsaemi.

Because he would have been the ace of team B without feeling inferior or jealous.

Perhaps they formed a team based on Lee Ion's good looks and On Sae Mi-ro's skills?

Each member seems to be great, but as a team, it feels like they are worse than Take Scene.

"Zion."

While I was thinking that, Onsaemiro called me.

When I looked up, the take scene had ended and the judges' scores were being revealed.

97, 100, 95, 98.

Total 390 points.

Considering that we received 376 points, this is incredibly high.

But I didn't say anything.

No, I couldn't.

Now that three months and one hundred days have come to an end.

Because I no longer deserved it.

* * *

Although filming has not ended, audience members have begun to return home.

In a typical survival program, the winner is announced on stage during the final contest.

However, that is only possible if the final contest is broadcast live and is free from spoilers.

So there was no reveal of the winning team on stage today.

The winning team, which would advance directly to its debut, was scheduled to be revealed in the final episode to be broadcast in three weeks.

While the audience was returning home, the judges and PD Kang Seok-woo put their heads together.

It was because a problem occurred.

"Three months and one hundred days won?"

"yes. "The counting of audience votes has just been completed."

"Is the difference small?"

"no. "It's about 65:35."

Blue opened his mouth in an unexpected situation.

"Didn't you select the audience members?"

"I made a choice, but you can't tell their loyalty."

Kang Seok-woo set today's audience as take scene fans.

To apply to be an audience member, you must complete a 20-question survey, which includes questions such as 'Which stage impressed you the most?' and 'Who is your favorite participant?' I put questions like this.

By converting that into data, we selected audience members who tended to support Take Scene.

However, this data does not tell us the size of the heart.

Even if you are an audience member who was most impressed by Take Scene's <Sugar > and who likes Ready the most, you may feel lighthearted support.

A light heart can change if there is a strong external shock.

There was such power on today's stage of Sedal101.

Of course, if producer Kang Seok-woo really wanted to, he could have filled the audience with Take Scene's core fandom.

but.

'There's no way you could do something like that and not get caught.'

To put it bluntly, what if the profile photos of audience reviews shared on social media are all take scenes?

While trying to take it easy, the situation escalates.

"Then what about the total score?"

"Three months and one hundred days is high."

"Even if you include the second and third rounds?"

"yes. "There are audience voting scores for the second and third rounds as well."

"hmm… … ."

As CEO Choi Dae-ho fell silent, trainer Yoo Seon-hwa, who watched the least amount of broadcasts, spoke up.

"Can't we just tinker with the numbers appropriately?"

"Absolutely not."

It's easy, but the risk is too high.

There are no complete secrets in the world, and one day it may be revealed to the world that Coming Up Next was a program for Take Scene's debut.

To put it bluntly, the next president of M Show could attack the current president and expose him.

If there is data showing that the vote was manipulated at that time, there will be an uproar.

If there is circumstantial evidence, it can be overlooked, but if there is physical evidence, there may be a prosecution investigation.

This is a good topic for politicians to snoop on.

"What do you think, PD Kang?"

"The first mission is included in the score, and the reflection of audience votes is reduced to 10%. "Then I think it's roughly right."

Coming Up Next's first mission was an individual exhibition.

The position battle where Han Si-on's <Remake Under the Streetlight> was released.

We decided not to reflect it in the final score because it did not fit the style of a team match, but things have changed.

At least that indicator must be borrowed and balanced.

Fortunately, in the first mission, the take scene score is higher overall, except for Han Si-on.

"The Seoul Town Punk judges' scores were too high."

Producer Kang Seok-woo deliberately added a comment.

To raise awareness that the current problem is largely due to the judges' negligence.

But the judges also had excuses.

At that time, there were no plans to debut Han Si-on through a take scene.

"What's the point in talking about the past? "Please extract the data as you said."

"All right."

After a while, the production team calculated the final score using the newly established rules.

Now it was time to tell the participants the results.

You probably know everything anyway, but for the most important event.
