Damn Idol Episode 79

* * *

Coming Up Next's final competition, <Free Song Mission>.

The first attack was three months and one hundred days, and the second attack was decided by the take scene.

This is natural business logic.

It's natural that the first player is at a disadvantage in audience voting, and you don't want to miss the symbol of a take scene decorating the finale.

It doesn't matter though.

I am not a person who rejects business logic, but a person who actively uses it.

But this time, we will compete on a pure stage.

"How is everyone? Choi Jae-seong, how are you?"

"great. So good. Rather, I feel like the tension has eased thanks to the duet performance."

"okay?"

"yes. "I was a little confused about the things my brother taught me at first, but I was surprised at how well it worked from the middle of the game."

"You were a little confused at first?"

Jaeseong Choi nodded, but no.

"You did a damn good job from the beginning."

Lee Ion, startled by the profanity, looks at the camera and sighs as if he has given up.

Looks like today is a kindergarten holiday.

Anyway, what Choi Jae-seong said is correct.

Lee Ion, On Saemi-ro, Koo Tae-hwan, Choi Jae-seong.

Everyone came back with great results on the duet stage and was full of confidence.

Because they felt what they could do.

Now there is only one thing left.

mental attitude.

"How was everyone preparing for the stage?"

The first person to answer my question was Ion Lee.

"It was terrible."

"why?"

"Because it's too difficult."

It's worth it.

Lee Ion worked like crazy to perform a part that only had two words.

It was to the point where I woke up every hour and sang a song to make sure my body remembered it perfectly.

Nevertheless, Lee Ion was not a complete success.

But it didn't fail either.

That means it is incomplete.

If you catch the first note of the first word perfectly, you will succeed, and if you cannot, you will fail.

The problem was that it was no longer the realm of facts, but the realm of the mental.

I recorded it carefully and listened to it, and there is no difference between the first note of the first line where I think I succeeded and the first note of the first line where I think I failed.

It sounds the same, but sometimes you feel successful and sometimes you feel like a failure.

Even I cannot solve this problem.

Because humans are not machines.

I had no choice but to hope for success in actual combat.

"It was complicated. "There's so much to do."

This time, Onsaemi-ro answered with a frown on his face as he recalled the practice.

This too deserves it.

Onsaemi has a good sound and excellent singing ability, but is unable to connect the sound and singing ability.

When I made the best sound, I couldn't explode my singing ability, and when I exploded my singing ability, I couldn't make the best sound.

To correct that, I caught Onsaemiro like a mouse... … It wasn't that bad, but it was taught harshly.

Next, Choi Jae-seong answered that he was sad, and Koo Tae-hwan responded that he was frustrated.

"So, you're saying it was hard for everyone?"

"right."

I looked at the members nodding their heads and chose my words.

There is a word I hate the most.

Those who work hard cannot overcome those who enjoy.

This is wrong.

You can't enjoy it if you don't try in the first place.

It's irresponsible to go from having fun on stage to having fun on stage.

Even if they fail, only those who tried deserve to enjoy it.

So we deserve it.

"You can make mistakes on stage. "Ion may lose the first note, and Onsaemiro's bad habits may come back."

"But you know what?"

"No matter how big a mistake you make, it will still be better than your best effort 15 days ago."

"I think it would be better to listen to the performance that Onsaemiro ruined today than the song that Onsaemiro sang 15 days ago."

"So, let's have some fun."

Rather than the compulsion to never make a mistake, it would be nice to go on stage with the mindset that it doesn't matter if you make a mistake.

Even if someone makes a mistake, I hope they accept it with a generous heart and enjoy it.

Because it's really the last time.

"Oh, I guess Shion's socialization training is over."

"I know. "It's touching."

"I think the comment itself was a bit obvious, but I think it resonated because Sion said it."

Choi Jae-seong, Lee Ion, and Koo Tae-hwan smiled and said.

"cackle… … ."

Onsaemiman had a slightly gloomy expression.

But the point of laughter is that no one cares.

Meanwhile, the members of Sedalbaekil thought that Onsaemiro was a sensitive and sharp person, but that was not the case.

That's a temporary appearance caused by feelings of inferiority and jealousy, and the real person is a bit dull.

Should I say it's a bit cheesy?

After finding out, Choi Jae-seong asked if he could make fun of him by calling him 'Jjin', and Lee Ion said that it was okay because if he was good-looking, he would be called 'Jjin'.

Koo Tae-hwan didn't say anything.

But he was probably thinking something in his mind.

He may not say much out loud, but inside he thinks a lot of useless thoughts.

In this way, we got used to each other and became comfortable.

I am also now freely admitting this.

He said it was fun to meet good team members in this program that he crash-landed on by chance.

It was then.

-Waaaaaa!

The audience screams.

Is the VCR over?

There was no staff call for that to happen.

"Did I get a close-up?"

The moment the members started laughing after hearing Lee Ion's nonsense, the staff rushed over and made a standby call.

"Three months and one hundred days! "It was 3 minutes ago!"

I put on the in-ears and stood in the promised formation.

After a while, the final contest began.

* * *

The moment the stage went dark, the noise from the audience subsided in an instant.

It could be respect for the final stage of 3 Months and 100 Days, or it could be the power of darkness.

In that silence, some audience members recalled the stage they learned about through the VCR.

Although the detailed concept was not revealed, the exact song was released.

<Three Months and One Hundred Days>.

It may seem like a title worthy of the last stage, or it may seem like a title with childish sensibility.

But what is certain is that it is a self-composed song.

'My own compositions are a bit weird.'

'I think it would have been cool to do something like Seoul Town Punk one more time.'

So there were some who thought this way.

The public has a vague aversion to self-composed songs that appear in survival programs.

The songs created by most of the participants are often of low quality or difficult.

But the biggest reason is unfamiliarity.

When unfamiliar melodies and unfamiliar lyrics come out, I have to expend my mental energy to evaluate them.

However, on the other hand, self-composed songs that refreshingly break these ambiguous sentiments have always received great applause.

Those who supported Han Sion hoped that the song <Three 100 Months and Days> would break down the ambiguity.

Those who disliked Han Si-on were the opposite.

Of course, if Han Si-on had heard, he would have laughed.

There is no way he, who has gone through dozens of regressions, would write an ambiguous song.

It was that moment.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk.

The sound of shoe footsteps began to be heard on the completely dark stage.

The sound, which was small at first, gradually became louder... … .

Taan-

A circular light appeared along with a clear and pure sound that sounded like that of a marimba (a type of rhythmic percussion instrument).

Standing in the light was Lee Ion, dressed in a neat suit that only CEOs of a company would wear.

Perhaps because of his attire, he seemed more like a businessman than an idol.

Of course, businessmen can't look like that.

'Ion?'

Some of the fans of Sedalbaekil tilted their heads at the appearance of Lee Ion.

It appeared on TV a few times, but Han Si-on, the producer of 3 Months and 100 Days, really liked Koo Tae-hwan's introduction.

Koo Tae-hwan also never betrayed Han Si-on's expectations.

So, I thought Koo Tae-hwan would take the intro role this time, but Lee Ion appeared.

Meanwhile, Lee Ion, who was standing in the circular light, was rummaging through his suit pocket.

But there is nothing to grasp.

I tried to walk away from the light, but I came back because it was so dark.

Lee Ion, who was looking around with a slightly resigned expression, suddenly started singing.

It was unaccompanied.

Oooh~

When I look back as time goes by

That moment,

See to fly by too quickly

It didn't feel like I was singing hard.

It was closer to the feeling of humming to myself.

Nonetheless, it was a melody worth listening to, and it felt pretty good.

As if he thought so too, Lee Ion sings the same song once more.

Oooh~

When I look back as time goes by

That moment,

See to fly… … .

However, he did not end the song with a sad expression on his face.

It's not like it feels like this.

It was that moment.

Taan-

Once again, the refreshing sound of marimba resonated throughout the world.

The moment Lee Ion looks around in confusion.

Taan-taan-taan.

Sounds are heard continuously.

At the same time, four circles made of light were born.

In that light... … .

-Wow!

-Aaaah!

The members of Sedal101 were standing.

The stage is still dark, but it feels a little brighter thanks to the five lights.

'Is this time travel?!'

Fans who were interested in the setting of 3 Months and 10 Days looked around the stage with that thought in mind.

In order to understand the setting of 3 Months and 10 Days, you have to look at the clothes.

However, the outfits were all different.

Lee Ion and On Sae-mi were wearing suits, but the design and fit felt quite different.

If Lee Ion felt like a CEO, On Saemi felt like an ordinary employee.

On the other hand, Choi Jae-seong was wearing everyday clothes with a dandy feel, which is commonly referred to as a boyfriend look.

Koo Tae-hwan was wearing casual clothes and an apron.

Lastly, Si On Han was wearing a doctor's gown with a stethoscope around his neck.

By then, people had realized the meaning of the costume.

Because there was this content in the VCR that was transmitted right before the performance of 3 Months and 100 Days.

[Ion, if you weren't doing music, what do you think you would be doing in 10 years?]

[me? I am the CEO.]

[CEO?]

[huh. Because I want to run a clothing shopping mall. Jaesung, who are you?]

[I think I'm just an ordinary job seeker. In ten years, I'll be twenty-nine... … . In my head, thirty is acceptable.]

[I'm just an office worker. I just got a job.]

[I think I'm helping my parents at their restaurant.]

[What about you, Zion?]

[If I hadn't done music… … . Wasn't he a doctor?]

[Wow, you're doing something cool yourself.]

[I? Isn't Ion more grandiose?]

[No. Ion only said he was the CEO. In reality, the company would not have been able to avoid a deficit.]

[…] … Jaeseong.]

What it looks like 10 years later.

Sedalbaekil was standing on stage in exactly the same outfit.

Although the costume is not uniform, it doesn't feel as messy as expected, perhaps because the colors are well-harmonized.

'Did you time travel 10 years into the future? 'Then is it possession?'

'Ah, that's why Lee Ion acted like that at first... … .'

People's thoughts were not connected.

This is because Koo Tae-hwan, wearing an apron, grinned at Lee Ion and waved his index finger left and right.

It doesn't seem like that's the way to do it.

And then, he started singing.

Oooh~

As time goes by and I look back,

That moment,

See to fly by too quickly

The marimba sound spread refreshingly, and the unique sound of tropical house poured out.
