Chapter 50
Park Se-han, who left the show due to school violence,.
And there's a spoiler about the new voting method, 'Fever Time', that followed the news of his departure.
Many people have come in to criticize the idol industry in a harsh manner due to the hot potato issue of school violence.
Some of the existing national managers also expressed their disappointment with the production team for not properly detecting personality.
The conclusion was that public opinion was swayed towards 'a powerful agency en masse casted trainees, and the production team couldn't do anything about it.'
―Wow, If you weren't caught, you'd just bury it. Fucking shamelessㅋㅋㅋ
└ Seriously, the pool of trainees this time is so good; it's the best ever. You've been hitting so hard on media play, but without fail, you come out as a school bully?
└Even someone involved in school violence ranked 5th fuck If it hadn't been exposed, he would have made his real debut.
└But even if the person involved in school violence debuts, there will still be fans who will follow them. If they are handsome and good at dancing, the fans will help and protect them.
└I really hate it... I was watching IPS with interest but now I hate watching it
―I'm reading through all the comments and it's fucking absurd... People who have never been into idols are saying that now is the time to diss other trainees and call for the program to be canceled. LOL I actually thought that the production team's follow-up response was faster and better than ever. Why are you muddying the waters like this...
└ㅇㅇ Didn't the main PD come out and apologize after an article came out saying that Park Se Han had left the show an hour or two after the school violence broke out? It was the first time I saw a PD dogeza
[도게자
└The controversial trainee was immediately kicked out, and the private lives of other trainees were also comprehensively reviewed, and an apology was also posted = There is nothing more that can be done
└I think Park Se-han deserves to be cursed unconditionally, but it's really not right to pull other trainees who are doing well and hang on to them....
└ㄱㄴㄲ Just get rid of the problematic person. Why tell them to cancel the program?ㅋㅋㅋ Did the PD tell Park Se-han to commit school violence? Ah, I'm getting really pissed again
―There are many people who say that it was okay to just look at the profiles in advance, but Park Se Han's agency is Awake; as everyone knows, it's a company specializing in male idols, and during IP1, they sent out five of their trainees at once. This time, they sent out three, including Hyeong kong, who is currently in first place... During IP1, they also pressured K-net by saying that if they didn't accept all five of their trainees, they wouldn't participate in future programs.
└ In short, it is highly likely that Awake forced Park Se-han to appear. The production team of IPS had no choice but to accept it. If you want to find out who did right or wrong, you should just blame Awake for not properly checking the past when selecting the trainees.
└Bully... Let's live a nice life fuck Ha, who do I put in my pick now?
└I guess the bully will debut in Awake ㅋㅋㅋ
Rather, as this issue continued to be a topic of conversation in the community, many people became aware of the existence of
The new influx was captivated by the high quality of the competition stages and the trainees' great visuals.
As a result, it became a new force that raised viewer ratings.
―F*ck, all my friends' money was stolen by IPS.
Sehan has already really stolen my friend's money....
└(Photo) lots of retweets please pick genius hamster Hyeong-bin♥♥
―ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I also clicked on the trending idol school violence and found our Eun-gyu ㅠ How can you ruin a kid's debut three times with this crazy guy?
└(Photo) Thank you, Sehan. Thanks to you, I learned about the existence of Suma.
└Park Se-han's good influence ㄷㄷ
Even though public opinion had turned against them, there were still people hanging on.
But here are some brief comments from national managers who watched the second round with their own eyes.
And most of all, it was buried in the news of 'Fever Time' being introduced in the second global vote.
―(Photo) Guys.... Something really big came?
└They kept emphasizing that the voting format was changing, so I never thought it was something like this??
└Wow, it looks like there are a lot of people. The server is down and I can't access the app or the page.
└The person who hacked the server?? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
―(Photo) (Photo) I captured what one of the overseas fans tweeted. It's implemented really well, like a real game system. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└What is it like? I see something like a graph.
└Just like the in-game stat window, six abilities are set in the trainee profile. If the number of votes for each ability exceeds 300,000 for singing, dancing, visuals, charm, talent, and stamina, fever time will be activated and the number of votes received will double for three days.
└Wow... What should I do with Jeong Byeong Jon?
[정병존
└Shit, it's so hard to beg for votes once a day, and now I have to think about it too... It's so hard.
└If we do well, it seems like kids in the 20th to 30th place can quickly rise to the top ranks??
└I was too lazy to vote with just two phones, but now I have to vote with all five.
The negative publicity about the program was swept away by a truly enormous number of people.
To cover up one issue, create a bigger issue.
This ended up proving this logic as it is.
Since it is a survival show where the trainees' lives and deaths depend on the number of votes, the changed voting format is very important.
Even more so if it's in the form of a double bonus for a certain period of time when the goal is achieved.
The servers temporarily went down due to the influx of people from all over the world trying to read the detailed explanation.
This was a part that proved how much interest
―Wow, the server was finally okay after two hours
―(Photo) Guys, it looks like they give you three voting rights a day?? And there's even an attendance sheet
└There is an attendance sheet??
└ㅇㅇㅇ If you attend every day, you will receive 6 voting rights on the 7th day.
└No, Shin Cheol-woo, you fucking idiot, they told you to do survival and you suddenly changed the genre to a gameㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└It's really funny that they give attendance bonuses
└In order to trigger the cheering fever time, the fans really need to be united....
└If we used up all the voting rights we collected over the week to activate fever time, it would be a disaster if we couldn't raise our firepower there.
└The problem seems to be whether to use the 6 voting tickets, which are the 7th day rewards, before fever time starts or after fever time starts.
└I don't know what you mean
In order to open 'Fever Time', communication between the trainees' fans seemed essential.
If voting were to take place without prior notice, the votes would not be evenly distributed across the six abilities but could end up concentrated in one or two places.
But there were clear limitations.
―If you multiply 30 by 6, we need at least 1.8 million votes to activate fever time... No matter how I look at it, my favorite doesn't seem to have enough firepower to do that, so I'm getting frustrated.
└We need to unite among fans of Jeong Byeong Jon
└Otherwise, there is no choice but to gather votes by holding an event with a gun.
└Seriously, instead of tweeting, should we open an event on the gallery too?
―But the event is an event, and gathering overseas fans is also a problem. It was famous during IP1, too, when the overseas voting rate was much higher than expected.
└I think IPS is similar now? It's popular overseas.
└ㅇㅇㅇ So, we need to control and direct the percentage of foreign votes well and distribute the votes as efficiently as possible. If we do it without any communication, it will be a disaster.
└Honestly, I think the top tier kids will fill up their percentages on their own, so I think it's just a matter of time, but the mid-to-upper tier kids definitely need to unite with overseas fans to get fever.
└It's so hard... I just want to pay and buy a ticket.
As the percentage of overseas fans increased, the importance of overseas voting naturally increased.
By taking advantage of the fact that they have more overseas fans than domestic fans, they can somehow communicate and cooperate to enter fever time one step earlier than others.
And, recognizing the surge of interest from the public, some homemakers took this opportunity to release spoilers and previews of the second round.
[Uniform Karis.... ⸝⸝ʚ̴̶̷̆ ̯ʚ̴̶̷̆⸝⸝ #Karis #KarisvonWalden]
-What the fuck
-Chains on uniforms are so fucking pervy, really.
―Half-bangs, really pretty?? I'm going to cry loudly
―When I said, "Suja-nim, Suja-nim," he really appeared to be wearing a prince's outfit...
└Let's just tell Suma to be president.
The response was explosive when a clean preview appeared in a situation where only a simple costume spoiler and mission song were mentioned.
―(Photo) Hahaha, Suja-nim is wiping his lips again
└He did something similar during lockdown ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Like making a signature pose??
└Ha, you have to apply lipstick to the back of your hand and draw it sideways.
―Oh, right... Friends who went to the audienceㅠㅠ How was the Suma fan service??
└fuck the stage started right after they got up without even having time to say hello ㅠㅠ;;
└No, it's like that even though it's a recording?? Crazy
└But when he was leaving the stage after the show, he waved his hand and smiled really hard when they called his name!! I don't remember the rest because I was so out of it
└Do you think he will receive benefits?
└ I'm not sure because Hyeong kong is there, but I think he can still get it, right? Well, since he is the center, yeah.
―A quick summary of the previews and reviews that have come out so far: 1. Spoiler you may like, Hyeong kong + Suma are a team. 2. Yoon Fe's team added one member and continued as is, but surprisingly, it was just okay. 3. Geung Gyu's on-site response was really good, so will the rankings go up?
[차은규
└ Did Geung Gyu do well? I was actually anxious because everyone said their rankings were high.
└The song itself was well chosen!! It ranked high but didn't have a sense of humor. Sparkling doesn't have many high notes, so it seems like the show was good with the performance and visuals.
└Ah, I'm so glad ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I was worried a lot
└Sihwa and Minha are really good at itㅋㅋㅋㅋ
—I don't need anything else, the first place is Hyeong Kong + Suma vs. Geung Gyu + UbiQs
└Who is UbiQs??
└Baek Si-hwa and Yoo Min-ha used to be trainees at UbiQs together
└Ah, so that's why the two kept saying that they knew each other
└I liked Labyrinth, but Sparkling definitely had a refreshing and light atmosphere, and the response on site was good too.
The cycle of Park Se-han's school violence news, the second global vote 'Fever Time', and the second competition spoiler were very natural.
The national managers, who quickly and accurately recognized that the influx was continuing, quickly got to work with their heads wrapped around the table.
To get closer to achieving fever time, even a little bit first.
A battle of wits on an extraordinary scale has broken out.
And it wasn't just domestic fans who were showing this kind of movement.
Since the first round of voting began, some overseas fans with enormous financial resources have been planning large-scale events.
They were just weighing the optimal timing to throw this in at some point.
As soon as the new system called fever time was introduced, the big players started moving to advertise in the subways of South Korea.

After the second round of the
Meanwhile, trainees like me who had no reason to leave the dorm were staying in our cells, enjoying the relatively quiet atmosphere.
'The appearance of Fever Time appropriately covered up Park Se-han's school violence.'
I got enough rest and sleep and focused on recovering my physical strength.
At the same time, I checked real-time public opinion from time to time to understand the current external situation.
Fever time is when cooperation between fans is most important, regardless of nationality.
As public opinion changed in an instant with the story of Fever Time and the spoiler of the second round, the forces that had been criticizing
The Internet landscape, which has entered a new phase, is busy itself.
Promotional and event plans were being uploaded on various platforms to prevent the trainees they were rooting for from being eliminated.
Those who had capital were even preparing advertisements.
Among them, the most powerful form of fundraising is subway advertising.
'I never thought the feelings I had when I went to Yeouido would come back so quickly.'
In the previous round, the most ads were generated between the 2nd and 3rd team battles.
But I felt like the national managers were participating with even more enthusiasm this time.
I quietly clenched my fist and raised it toward the ceiling.
'Is it because I'm here when I shouldn't be here?'
An external entity called Karis von Walden.
It is true that even in the role of a single trainee participating in
But apart from that, the main point is that other top-tier trainees were influenced by Karis von Walden.
A trainee from overseas whom they had never seen before rose to 8th place in the first vote.
Because he showed off his competitiveness enough to beat out strong candidates on the competition stage and take on the center position.
In order to respond to these variables, it is highly likely that they moved more quickly to support the trainees they supported.
I was scrolling down my SNS timeline when I saw a notification that a new tweet had appeared.
Familiar letters and photos were captured.
