"Boys! did you all have a good rest?" "Yes!!" Looking around the set the contestants answer the MC's question vigorously. Signs were now placed around the auditorium, in a manner that anyone who watched the previous season would expect a team fight. The thought seemed to be shared between other contestants as they look around the set and exchanged glances among themselves. While it was unclear what the criteria would be, it didn't seem a bad idea to make some allies. Looking at the young-looking boy next to him, Soo-Ha can't help but have the thought that any team who had a nervous 16-year-old Go Yoojun in their team would either be a blessing or a curse. Focusing on the MC's announcement as he says. "This week's challenge... is a group competition!" "Oooh!" As expected, everyone's eyes reacted with a look of anticipation. "I'm sure everyone has someone they wish to team up with, right?" Seeing these kinds of words, Soo-Ha bets against himself that the next sentence would s
After a bit of thinking, Soo-Ha had finally made his decision. While the team members were more important than the selection of the agency. As all agencies had their hit songs anyway, there wouldn't be a problem in song selection. This was after all a survival show, which meant... before caring about rank or grade, you need to care about yourself. And the only way to do that. Is to stand out. As Soo-Ha steps forward with his ball in hand. He raises his hand as if a student who is asking a question in class. Looking at him strangely, the MC responds "Yes, Soo-ha-ssi?" "Do I have to pick an agency?" "What do you …." Before he finishes his answer Soo-Ha smiles cheekily, "In that case, I choose... I choose to be kicked out" "Soo-Ha!" "Lee Gong-wook-nim, there shouldn't be anything wrong with my choice?" Turning to the crew for guidance the MC is given an okay sign by the head PD. Bang Geulyi who is watching the scene from the monitor with greedy eyes can't help but grab onto
In an instant, the set was filled with noise. The screen flashes between the names as it comes to a stop on one name in particular. "YU entertainment!" YU is the company that chooses charisma. The company of unique voices. The land of quality and freedom. YU entertainment is known both as the heaven and hell of the idol artist. Over the past 2 decades, it has grown from a small one-man company into a multinational conglomerate. During their time they have produced music and artists that seek perfection, and as a result, profits have gone through the roof. The company known for only caring about talent has built a reputation counter to what the industry prescribes. It is said that even the legendary actor Park Bo-gum who was widely known as a guaranteed rating draw was rejected. The thing about YU is that, while there were not many restrictions on the artists this same lack of restrictions, meant that the kids would often catch themselves in stupid situations. The
- "It includes female idol groups?" "How unlucky" Unsurprisingly, Micky's choice was simple. Of course, their reactions were not nearly as strong as those in team freedom. The team members near Soo-ha were murmuring like crazy. The problem is Timbre. Timbre is usually defined as a property that allows one to distinguish between sounds that are similar in pitch but produced by different instruments or means. It's the same with male and female voices (*though there is more overlap than between say a guitar that is plucked vs a piano string that is hit by a hammer). Vocal cords are of different lengths, meaning that to make a sound of a given pitch, a man will use a different technique, and different tension and create different overtones than a woman making the same pitch. It is for these reasons, that performing this song will be challenging especially considering the level of skill that most in Soo-Ha's group had. Beyond innate differences, 'Come back home' was.... a difficul
Over the next two days, the atmosphere was quickly set as a desperate struggle. The important thing to do now was to paint an impact picture. The heavy breathing of the group and extreme effort that was put in during practice would show during editing. "You guys must have been very worried after receiving your song?" At the choreographer's words, the team members give a tired laugh. They couldn't tell him that Kim Seungwoo and Go Yoojun had put them in a marine like 'hell week' beating the choreography into their body. "How did everyone memorise the moves? Who taught the choreography?" "Uh... the team members who were a little more accustomed to dance" "Yes! We did it together!" Lee Soobin adds more to the silver ranked contestant's words. The choreographer just nodded, as the rest of the group stays silent. "Uh, you all must have worked quite hard." He twisted his neck, rolling it to the side. "But... I can't see anyone" Soo-Ha could hear the sound of the kids ne
"Um guys, don't be all down. We worked hard these past few days. Thanks to that we were able to get the choreography together. From now on, if we focus on the song with the same energy, I think we will be able to put on the best performance. Let's make the instructors eat their words!" 'Look at this guy.' Soo-Ha smirks. If one wasn't careful, you'd forget he was an actor. It was so natural and comforting that it almost felt spontaneous. If Soo-Ha never picked up on his irregularities today, he may have even believed it was natural. "I actually have an idea!" He continues "Why don't we make it a little more fun? We can make it light, humorous and innocent. it should feel fresh right? We can even make the beat a little faster and turn it into a super cute version." At the end rather than an introspective approach, he wants to add a bit of cuteness. 'Interesting...He is prepared. He really thought about adding our flavour.' 'Shameless to say, but our advantage is our looks
Judging from the fact that the cameramen and women were focused on capturing the scene. It seemed that it would be edited well. However, there were two guys who didn't fit in this heart-warming environment. One was wearing a fake smile, while the other looked to be suffering from clinical depression. The one wearing the fake smile is none other than …. Lee Soobin. When he came to his senses, he must have realised that his actions were hasty. He couldn't help but be worried about how his words would be edited. Would he come across as petty and jealous? He tried his best to blend into the atmosphere somehow, but he also tried his best not to make any eye contact with Soo-Ha. He had too much pride to apologise. He was unable to follow Jinsang's actions. His pride didn't allow it. If it were Soo-Ha, he would have already caught the atmosphere and ended any negative feelings, saying that he was too harsh. Soobin was too short-sighted to realise that the atmosphere
Checking if there have been changes, Soo-Ha turns on Go Yoojun’s status window. [Name: Go Yoojun] Vocal: B- (A) Dance: A (Ex) Visual: A+ (S+) Charm: B (A+
