Chapter 36
"This is crazy...."
All she could say was a short exclamation of madness.
There is a huge amount of practice narrative that seems to have been barely edited.
Appropriate portion distribution that is not biased to either side.
In addition, the actual stage was created to maximize the sense of presence.
It was a beautiful episode that perfectly lived up to the high expectations.
Homma, who had been watching TV while completely absorbed in it, sat down at her desk in a sobbing state.
Only after the fog that had been clouding her mind cleared was she able to access social media.
Looking at the retweeted posts, one thing was certain.
The
―Only Lockdown was exactly the same as the original song.... They really tore up the stage.
└(GIF) Suma's visual is really too much
└I love you, Suma Oppa
└Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What is with the center's presence, seriously
└(GIF) I thought my heart was going to burst at that moment. What do I do when you suddenly open your eyes like that!!!
└Their part switch was really a stroke of genius. If things had gone as they were, this kind of atmosphere would never have been created.
―(Photo) All the people who have been calling Suma incompetent for the past few days are gone ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└They are all praising Suma for his great improvement in skills, so what would those kids who only know how to coach in the corner know? ㅋㅋ
└Wow, this is the first time I've seen Mr. Kang-woo lean forward like that. It feels like he's being sucked into the screen.
└No, that scene was so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The way they showed reactions like a panorama from Kang-woo oppa to Mr. Ha Sangpil was hilarious
―(Photo) Guys, look at this... Our crown prince has turned black and is smiling like that. It's so thrilling I'm going crazy
└The sound of a chain coming down with a clank!! = The sound of my heart falling
└This is eye cleansing, and this is an idol. If they really lose their charisma, Koreans are really going to get sick of it.
[눈정화고
└If you discriminate against people who were born abroad, that's just plain incompetent.... Don't you think Suma himself speaks Korean better than the people who criticize him?
└Ah, crazy lol lol lol lol lol lol
The one who naturally received the most attention was Karis von Walden.
A visual that effectively portrays the conceptual song called
Acting with a facial expression that rises as high as the water rises.
It was a natural progression, as he was using these weapons to dominate the center.
When spoilers about the first team battle began to surface, those who had doubts are now naturally going with the flow.
―I will say it now. If Karis falls off, I'll go and shit in front of K-Net headquarters.
└Honestly, if he's this handsome, K-Net should know how to manipulate it so that he doesn't fall behind
└Ah, f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I admit it's a good fabrication
└Instead of having a debut group filled with talented members who are really not that good, they should include someone who is the face of the group and has a presence that can rally fans.
―I am one of the people who left a review after attending the concert, but Karis in person is a hundred times better than on the screen... he is so extraordinary that the lens can't capture it all.
└ㅁㅊ Can it get any better than this?? It's physically impossible
└It wasn't for nothing that they said that the nose was really amazing. I've never seen such a perfect nose bridge in my life.
└I knew he had a pretty face, but honestly, I didn't know how good he was, so I was a little neutral? But after watching the broadcast today, I realized that I was just being negative.
└No, f*ck, whenever I go on Twitter, all I see are posts saying that Suja-nin can't dance at all, is squeaky-stepping, and has no talent, so I get annoyed ㅡㅡㅠ No, seriously
└Stuffed right into 9 picks
Homma smiled happily as she read the quotes that said they were deeply moved.
The two trainees who seem to be the closest to Karis. There were also quite a few people who paid attention to Heo Yu-bin and Kang Si-yoon.
Homma read the post, 'I hope the fancams and full stage videos are released soon' and agreed with it a hundred times.
The better the overall skills of the trainees, the more the individual fancams or unedited stage footage stand out.
And the very next day, as everyone had hoped, the full video of the stages from Episode 3 and individual fancams were all released on KNet's official YouTube channel.

It was a series of truly brutal numbers.
Since it was first released, over a thousand comments have been posted, and soon the comments at the top will have surpassed a thousand likes.
―Leader Park Se-han and Kang Si-yoon had great judgment. It's not easy to change the center position, but they made the decision and handed it over to Karis... The stage composition was really well planned, and it wasn't boring at all. It felt like watching the original song. ↑1.5 thousand
―I almost fainted from crying while watching Karis's facial expressions. It was so good. ↑1.2 thousand
―It was so clean and perfect, like watching a current idol's stage... Guys, let's debut like this ↑980
―KARIS WAS BORN TO BE THE CENTER OF THIS SONG ↑2.9 thousand
―Karis's facial expressions are on the next level OUR KING ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!!!! ↑1.6 thousand
―The preparation process went very smoothly and the stage itself was really well-chosen as ever.... Guys, this is how you do your group assignments ↑669
―Karis&Ken were so good. Keep up the amazing work ↑346
Not only were there many reactions in the comments, but there were also many people who promoted the
―You don't have to watch the survival, so just watch this stage once and come back (link)
—Why are all these guys so talented?? This is ridiculous.
―This is the first time I've seen kids who can properly sing a PB's song ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Especially the trainee in the center brought out the lockdown vibe especially his face
"Wow...."
Homma was amazed by the countless tweets that seemed to never end.
She felt once again that this
'Overseas fans were already paying attention to Karis, but now that the stage video has become a trend, the number is increasing even more?'
Despite being an overseas trainee, Karis von Walden had a lot of domestic fans.
If he starts to unilaterally support overseas markets with overwhelmingly large populations while having this kind of pie....
It seemed like it might be possible to look higher than the usual high rankings.
And it was Homma who felt the huge influx directly through her own account.
"Hey, why does this already have 2,000 retweets...?"
She was embarrassed.
A small preview photo that was uploaded before the airing of Episode 3 was suddenly being shared explosively.
Not only did it garner over 2,000 retweets, but it was also on the verge of surpassing 5,000 likes.
After looking into it a bit, she found that there were a lot of overseas accounts sharing the photos in various languages.
Homma stared blankly at the screen for a moment, then quickly came to her senses.
'Now is the chance! '
She immediately opened the desktop file and took out the three preview photos she had been saving.
After posting the photo with a few short hashtags, she attached a link encouraging those who came in to see Karis's fancam and vote.
[XX0211 Karis #KarisvonWalden]
[Karis Fancam: (Link) Voting Link: (Site)]
She's glad she checked quickly.
To be most effective, you need to encourage voting when there is the most traffic.
Homma finished all her work and laid down on the chair again.
'Can we get into the Top 10 from the start?'
We'll have to watch episode 4, which will air next week, to find out.
Because there are still big-name trainees, including Song Hyeong-bin and Ji Yoon-cheol, who have enthusiastic support from domestic fans.
She's not sure how it will be edited or how nicely the stage footage will come out.
But aside from everything else, it is a well-known fact that the current hot icon is Karis von Walden.
Homma clicked on Karis's fancam again.
It hasn't even been 10 hours since it was released, but it already has close to 100,000 views.
'Episode 4 needs to air before the rest of the members' stage videos and fancams are released. ... That means there are still 6 days left for Karis to monopolize attention.'
She's really looking forward to it internally.
She wonders how far her favorite can go.
And which trainees will he be competing against to prepare for the next round?
Amid such expectations, episode 4 was soon aired.
Now that all the stage footage, fancams, and segments have been released, they're starting to get a sense of who they should be paying attention to at the first ranking announcement ceremony.
