Chapter 81
The center is a very important position in survival programs such as
They need to perform more parts on the center stage so that they can show their presence to people.
Although Homma knew that the trainees would always engage in a secret fight over the center part, Baek Si-hwa's request this time was beyond imagination.
'He was not talking to Yoo Min-ha, who currently holds the center position, and he was not in a place where all the other team members are gathered. But he suddenly went to the leader and asked him to pick the center again?'
Homma quickly checked the community's response, wondering if she was the only one who felt this way.
As expected, a considerable number of people were already arguing about Baek Si-hwa's attitude.
―?????????
―The first time in survival history a behind-the-scenes agent appearsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is that real? Is it okay to just go to the leader and ask for something like that? What do the others think?
└I've seen people say they didn't apply at all and then say they wanted to apply later, but this is the first time I've seen one complain again after already failing. And it's not like he did it in front of all their teammates; he just secretly told the leader.
-No, he needs to speak to the center first and change again by agreement. What's he doing?
└It's really Chu-hwa [ugly/dirty]....
―Even though Geung Gyu is the leader and looks so easygoing, he's not that of a pushover. He's older than him, but he's a legend.
└That kid was so cold from the first impression that I didn't like him, but as expected, physiognomy is science lol
―Then it wasn't that he was mad because Suma was being annoying; it was that he was mad because Baek chi was being annoying, you crazy bastards, apologize.
└You guys who have lost your minds, lol. How can a foreigner do politics against Koreans? Politics is when they waste time all day in the corner of their room talking bad about Suma.
└I feel sorry that Suma got criticized because of Chu hwa.
-Are there any kids who used to curse at Suma? Raise your hands.
Put your hands on your cheeks and hit them hard, fr
└ㅋㅋㅋ It's so funny that all the kids who used to hate Suma have disappeared
└Please stop making a fuss here and just play amongst yourselves... :)
Public opinion was gradually changing.
It was disillusioning that the situation changed so suddenly, but fortunately, it was something that many people had been waiting for.
Homma fixed her eyes on the TV, secretly cursing the three generations of Algyes who had cursed Karis, hoping that they would perish.
The next day came.
Chae Eun-gyu, who was the first to warm up in the practice room, smiled as soon as Karis von Walden opened the door and came in second.
[Chae Eun-gyu: Ah, Karis. I had something to ask you, so this is a good time.]
Then he told his roommate in detail what had happened that morning.
Karis nodded slightly as he listened to Chae Eun-gyu's words, then responded in a low, calm voice.
[Karis: I agree with you, hyung nim. I don't think it's polite not to talk about it in front of the center but to come to the leader and ask you to re-select the center. There's no valid reason to change the center, and it's not right to make such a suggestion just because of your own greed.]
The moment he heard those lines, tears almost came out of Homma's eyes.
'Yes, yes! This is the Karis I knew! Anyone who saw him as the most rational, calm, and Confucian would never do politics if he wanted to be the center.'
She felt like the anger that had built up inside her was slowly being washed away.
Karis' reaction was almost similar to the public's thoughts.
To her, who believed that her favorite would never do something as troublesome as political interference, this scene was like a shower after a drought.
After much deliberation, Chae Eun-gyu decided to first ask other team members, including Yoo Min-ha, who was in the center position, and if Yoo Min-ha showed any reluctance, he would immediately pretend that it never happened.
Homma personally thought that there was no one who would accept such a selfish request.
[Yoo Min-ha: Yes! It's okay if we do it one more time!]
Yoo Minha, unexpectedly, said it was okay.
'At this point, it's almost like Buddha.'
It's not like the judges recommended changing the center during the midterm evaluation process.
It's not like he made a series of fatal mistakes in the center position and drew the backlash of the other members.
The very idea of re-voting the center based on the request of one individual was quite questionable.
However, Yoo Min-ha accepted this, and within a day, he showed off even more advanced skills and secured his position as center.
―Eukk rangdong ♥♥ [Yoo is lovely]
―I think he must have laughed really hard inside
It's already been overwhelmingly revealed, but it's just funny to climb up without knowing the topic
By doing this, he has improved his image and proven his skills.
└Still, as a human being, wouldn't you have felt a little uneasy accepting that? If you get pushed out, that's just a fucking disaster.
└Do you think he'll be pushed out if he fights with a first grader?
└ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Chi hwa became an elementary school studentㅠㅠ
└Wow, this is just a guy with a good personality. Seriously, I'll keep picking him if I have any more votes left.
National managers also applauded Yoo Min-ha's generosity and skills.
And on the contrary, public opinion of Baek Si-hwa worsened in real time.
Scenes of Baek Si-hwa making mistakes during group practice were shown without any filtering.
Cha Eun-gyu, who initially pointed out things in a calm tone, soon began to raise his voice.
The other trainees watched in silence as Baek Si-hwa made mistakes even in the easy parts.
―Was Baek Chi originally like that? He's so out of his mind, he should be reported as an intentional troll.
└It seems like he's mentally unstable rather than intentionally trolling. He just rolled his eyes without checking the choreography and kept looking at the other kids.
└It's even funnier if he was mentally exhausted ㅋㅋㅋ Reason: Not practicing hard X Not being able to sleep or eat X Tried to be center twice but got pushed back both times so O
└Chu-hwa.... You can't even endure that much, so how can you come out to the survival twice? Just go home....
[추화
└I guess he feels wronged ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He lacks skills but wants to be the center
―You can clearly see through his expression that he was in a bad mood, and while the other kids are trying to get along as quickly as possible, he was the only one thinking about something else and not concentrating; Do you think the world revolves around you?
The crown prince concept was not done by Suma but by Chuhwa (◠‿◠)
└And from the beginning, he was openly saying that he didn't like Eukkha, but since he was pushed out by Eukkha, he couldn't help but feel bad ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Eukkha was so damn cute that he doesn't even know that Chuhwa is gently picking on him... I want to live comfortably like Eukkha
└Geung gyu is the most pitiful. You can see him aging in real time.
The atmosphere in the practice room becomes cold.
While Chae Eun-gyu left the room to have a brief private interview with Baek Si-hwa, Kwon Dae-hyun spoke to himself in a cold tone with a distorted expression on his face.
[Who wouldn't want to be the center...?]
Kwon Dae-hyun's monologue that echoed in the quiet practice room represented the trainees' discomfort with the current situation.
Baek Si-hwa's mistakes continued in the session held the very next day.
[Karis: Eun-gyu hyung-nim.]
[Chae Eun-gyu: Huh?]
[Karis: If there is a member who ruins teamwork because of personal greed, it will only cause trouble for everyone. If it interferes with practice any more than this, I think we need to give him a stronger warning.]
Karis's bold statement resonated quietly.
There was also a scene where the other trainees' eyes lit up when they heard his words, implicitly revealing that Karis was taking the lead on behalf of the team members.
[Cha Eun-gyu: Honestly, I think this is a matter of mindset. Everyone knows that Si-hwa is not a person without talent. I think there is no other way but to make him realize it on his own.]
Homma, who saw the following scenes, couldn't contain her excitement and jumped up and down.
"Ah, I knew this would happen! Ah, I want to beat up all the kids who were criticizing Karis and cursing 20 minutes ago."
Karis von Walden had no desire for the center position.
He didn't even cause any trouble to the team.
Rather, he made a suggestion to the leader, Chae Eun-gyu, on behalf of the team members.
It was finished perfectly, somehow.
[Okay, shall we take a look at what you've prepared?]
Baek Chae-hyun and Ha Sang-pil looked at the trainees with anticipation.
Immediately after the prepared stage was finished,.
The two judges and the composer did not hesitate to make their common comments.
Baek Chae-hyun, who had been giving favorable reviews to other trainees, pointed out Baek Si-hwa's tone and atmosphere.
Composer Park Seung-ju, who was invited as a guest, also said something similar.
And then Ha Sang-pil's remarks came out, marking the last dragon point.
[Ha Sang-pil: Did I overestimate you? You were a trainee for a long time and have a lot of experience. But why did you make such an amateurish mistake?]
[Ha Sang-pil: If you're the only one with a sullen expression, who will watch the stage with empathy? If you lose focus and your mind is weak, you'll be in big trouble. I'm not joking.]
Really, all the negative criticism was directed at Baek Si-hwa.
Although the sight of him hanging his head did look a little pitiful, she actually didn't feel any sympathy for him at all.
'It's his karma, so what?'
He got greedy and lost the center part twice.
Whose fault is it that he lost his mind because he couldn't overcome the aftermath?
There is no one to blame but Baek Si-hwa himself.
For the first time in a long time, Homma was able to look at the community responses without any worries.
―It's so funny how Chi hwa gets hit by the Karma Beam
└When Real Sangpil is on our side, he is our strongest ally ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└He's the most annoying person when he puts down my favorite person, but when he puts down someone I don't like, there's nothing worse than that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Right, like Meo-hyun said, among the kids here, which one wouldn't want to be the center; If they act like brats because they can't do one thing, they should definitely get beaten up
[대현
└I haven't seen IP1, but I think I know why it slumped in the second half. ㅋㅋ
―Damn Suma witch hunt bastards
I found out Baek Chi was the one who made a fuss about the center, but is it funny to frame a kid without any evidence just because you were a f*cking fan of someone else? Do you really want to show off that your parent is an odd number?
[부모님 홀수
└I have to search through all of Migal [Minor Gallery in Dcinside] to find out who those fans are and do Bakje on them [pin their comments so that they can't delete their history.] Then I can keep my mouth shut and live.
└The thing that pisses me off the most right now is that I couldn't go around voting for fever time with those crazy bitches who were causing a commotion back then, and I had to be careful of what I said. F*ck.
└Wouldn't it be possible if we increased the firepower even now??
―But the sh*t that was going on in the gallery at that time was serious
No matter how mature he looks and has a strong mental concept, he came from a foreign country as soon as he turned 20, so why are you beating him like it's a sport? Hahaha. That's why all the celebrities these days have a mental disorder.
└If you want to use Suma Shield, go to Suma Gallery
└I'm not a fan of Suma but now I feel bad for him so I'm going to give him a sympathy pick ㄲㅈ [get out of my way]
Unlike the extremely bleak midterm evaluation, the group stage was truly perfect.
Although the number of parts was noticeably reduced compared to before, Karis worked his magic to bring back the parts he had taken to 120%.
She can totally see why people said that Karis' bridge part was heaven.
Homma, who had been watching the main broadcast slowly come to a close, sat down at her desk, clenching her fists.
'Okay, now let's press the accelerator!'
In this way, Episode 10 of
On and off set.
* * *
'It's a little bit maddening but also funny that public opinion has changed in an instant.'
I watched episode 10 of
As I expected, the production team aired Baek Si-hwa's trolling scenes without editing them out, which made things very interesting.
Those who cursed at me without any basis, as always, disappeared.
The fans who had been cheering me on were venting their frustration and moving quickly to achieve fever time, even if it was late.
'Since public opinion has become like this, it will be Baek Si-hwa, not me, who will fall in the rankings.'
Honestly, I think they should be thankful that Baek Si-hwa ended up like this.
There is a high probability that the atrocities he committed against Yoo Min-ha fell into the hands of the production team.
But that part wasn't aired at all.
Of course, the production team excluded it because the program itself would have been severely criticized if they had aired such an unpleasant incident.
My mind is now at ease as the complicated situations are more or less sorted out.
Chae Eun-gyu, who shares the same cell as me, hasn't returned from outside yet.
So I thought I'd go to bed early and enjoy the refreshing feeling.
Knock knock.
"Is trainee Karis here?"
I heard someone knocking on the cell door, looking for me.
