Chapter 86
After the 3rd ranking announcement ceremony was over, we had time to say goodbye to the trainees who were leaving the filming set.
Perhaps because it was the last studio ranking announcement ceremony before the final live broadcast, everyone seemed more emotional than usual.
"Sob sob sob!"
"Good job, good job. Don't cry too much. If you keep doing this, I'll start crying too."
"You absolutely have to debut! "
The trainees who were confirmed to be eliminated ran to their surviving friends and cried.
The production crew, who could not possibly miss such a dramatic scene, brought their cameras in close, but the trainees paid no attention and continued to cry loudly.
'Kang Si-yoon and Song Hyung-bin must be the busiest.'
The two most sociable trainees I know were isolated like islands in the middle of a vast ocean.
They don't have enough arms to comfort the dropouts, who are coming from all directions.
Meanwhile, there were trainees who came to me and said goodbye.
"It's been so much fun! "
"Thank you for your hard work. I hope we can see each other on stage next time."
"It feels like it was just yesterday that I was on stage, but it's already been two months. I can't believe it."
Oh Tae-young, who competed in the first round with me, was eliminated in the final ranking of 23rd.
But Oh Tae-young did not shed tears like a waterfall.
He must have known that it would be difficult to advance to the finals because he was smiling calmly.
"Honestly, I didn't think I would even make it to the third round, but I'm satisfied just to have made it this far."
"You have done well enough. Always have the will, believe in yourself, and keep going."
"Ah, I won't be able to hear Karis ssi's speech anymore. It's a bit of a shame."
"Please feel free to contact me whenever you want."
Oh Tae-young laughed heartily.
After a while, he took on a slightly gloomy expression.
"... I feel a little sorry for Sehan hyung. He seemed like a really good hyung."
"I feel sorry about that too. But.... There's nothing we can do about what he did."
"That's right."
It's been a long time since I've heard that name.
Park Se-han, from Awake Entertainment, emerged as a promising star from the beginning, recording high rankings.
However, soon after, the school violence he committed during his school days became public knowledge, and he ended up leaving
'Until then, I had been trying my best to get Park Se-han off me. But in two weeks, it will already be the last filming.'
I realized again that time passes so quickly.
"Anyway, you absolutely must debut! I'll be there to cheer you on during the finals, so just wait a little longer."
"Thank you. Let's meet again and talk things through."
"Yes!"
After Oh Tae-young bowed his head and left, Park Jae-hoon came out and said goodbye while giving me a light hug.
"Thank you for everything. Third place? You should go up."
"I am very grateful just to be in third place."
Park Jae-hoon smiled at me and stretched.
"Hey, Karis, I still remember clearly the first time I saw you. You ripped off my name tag so mercilessly, right? "
"Um, that's right. That was the first time."
"I was really scared of you. That's why, when the members first gathered, I deliberately avoided eye contact with you. It's all a memory."
A mini game of tearing off name tags took place before the first ranking announcement ceremony.
There, I was able to take on the role of one-man army and receive cheers from many national managers.
And the first victim of that matchless streak was Park Jae-hoon.
"It's been a long time since I've had a match like that, so I was really excited."
"No, no. It was mostly because I was half asleep at the time that I couldn't react. It was an unexpectedly refreshing experience."
Park Jae-hoon patted my shoulder.
"You must do well for your friends who have fallen behind. You will definitely be able to debut, right? "
"I promise I will give it my all on stage."
"You are always so determined. Are there two people left now? I hope you win against Hyung-bin in the finals. I think it'll be fun."
He wishes I could beat Song Hyung-bin, who has been in first place so far.
Looking at Park Jae-hoon's face, who was giggling, it seemed like he was truly hoping that such a situation would come about.
I just laughed lightly.
"I wish that could happen, but wouldn't it be a little difficult? "
"I think it's possible. The difference in votes between the top three is almost the same. I think it could change at any time."
"I think of it as a message of encouragement to keep working hard until the end."
"You are always so humble."
Park Jaehoon and I said goodbye, saying we would see each other again at the finals.
After about 30 minutes of greetings, only the last 14 trainees remained on the set.
Choi Sia, who glanced around the empty space, slowly began to announce the announcement.
"I sincerely congratulate the 14 trainees who advanced to the final round of
The applause was softer than ever.
As the number of people was reduced to a minimum, the sound was very quiet.
"The final round will be broadcast live in front of the national managers on April 30th. During the approximately 10-day preparation period, the trainees will pass the final gate toward their debut. The actual filming will begin two days after the break. Let me tell you a little about the final round mission...."
The moment Choi Sia's words trailed off, anxiety spread among the trainees.
"The final mission looks really scary."
"What on earth are we going to do...."
"I'm already shaking."
I recalled my memories of the final round mission.
Well, it's definitely understandable for trainees to be anxious from the get-go.
"I'd like to tell you in advance that the results of this 3rd ranking announcement ceremony are very important and that you will be divided into two teams. The details will be released on the day of the shoot, so please wait a little longer. Thank you all for your hard work! "
"Thank you for your hard work! "
"See you next time! "
This officially concludes the third ranking announcement ceremony.
After a long day of filming, our bodies were stiff, and we slowly returned to our dorms.
'It's all going to end soon.'

April 23rd.
In episode 10, Baek Si-hwa's ranking plummets as he becomes unpopular due to all kinds of trolling.
The miracle of Heo Yu-bin, who rose to 8th place in the 3rd ranking from the underground rankings.
Kang Si-yoon, who entered the top 7 for the first time,.
Chae Eun-gyu, who was called the immovable concrete layer, fell in the rankings.
And then there's Karis von Walden's third place.
With so much going on, community accounts have had no time to rest.
―The abyss of Baek Chi was a natural procedure.
It's not as bad as Suma's devil editing and eokkas, but it's clear that there are flaws in Real's character, and there's no way the team Akgaes will sit still.
[억까
[악개
└It's even more surprising that he was in 11th place, even though he caused so much trouble
└Reply [to the top] ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ Baek Chi's fans blood shield makes me cry
―A guy who openly acts like a traitor even after experiencing survival twice....
A guy who tried for the center spot twice but lost both times due to skill....
And yet, he is a guy who has so many complaints about the world....
A guy who doesn't have even a speck of earnestness....
A Midsummer Night's Nightmare [Baek Si Hwa]
[William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream: They changed Dream into Nightmare]
└Sihwa... Do you want to be a singer?
└Baek Chi Ging must have definitely studied Philadelphia and Estonia now (•ᴗ•)
└Baek Chi... It's not too late to start with TOEIC.
―Ah, so flirty ꉂꉂ ( ˆᴗˆ )♡̷̷̷
[꼬시다
* This is a circle-only post. *
└Unni, let's get a room together next week.
└Ah, seriously... Where are you?? We really need to have a party to celebrate Baek Si-hwa's fall
└Please.... Invite A-hyun and Seon-ah and let's play together. I really have so much to say ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I have to invite all the Min-ha fans
└Let's get together, Class 2-3!!!!
―Our Yubin is so cool... ㅠㅠ In the first episode, he barely made it to the side without any screen time, but now he's confidently arranging songs and has even made it to 8th place (˃̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣ )
└(Gif) Baby Dumplings Baby Chicks Baby Pudding Baby Song Tender
└Let's go for the final ranking #1 *⸌☻ັ⸍*
└This is a 'human victory'... This is an 'emotional narrative'
―Siyoon seemed worried because of the center ㅠㅠ I knew he would do well.... He's so amazing, I want to pat his head ˃̵͈̑ᴗ˂̵͈̑♥
└That's what I'm saying ㅠㅠ he was shy because he was separated from his close friends, but I'm so proud that he adapted quickly. I'm so proud.
└He was in charge of the center, so if his ranking dropped, it must have been a bit of a mental blow.... Instead, it went up, right? He did really well, right?
└I'm proud of Siyoon, but how much more proud must Siyoon be? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Fans of the trainees who rose in the rankings were extremely moved by the fact that their efforts had paid off, but on the other hand, fans of the trainees who fell in the rankings were quite shocked.
In particular, public opinion on Chae Eun-gyu's side was considerably shocked.
―Eun-gyu, you worked really hard, lol. What the f*ck, I'm so pissed
* This is a public circle post. *
└No, Eun-gyu fell to 4th place, but how can Baek Si-hwa be in 11th place? After looking into it, isn't it just PD Pick noise marketing?
└Should I tell you something even more frustrating...? Baek Si-hwa fans are cussing out Chae Eun-gyu like crazy, saying that it's because of his fault and that they chose the wrong leader
└What?? Where??? Those crazy bitches, with your brain and your concept, joined hands and go home together
Meanwhile, fans of Karis von Walden, who has been the subject of recent public attention, were divided in their opinions.
While some people say that just breaking through the top 3, which was called concrete, is a huge achievement,.
Many people were upset that the voting tempo was slowed down because he was unfairly witch-hunted, even though he could have climbed to a higher rank.
―3rd place is awesome ㅠㅠ Our Sumadan worked so hard and had a hard time...♥♥
└I'm really glad that the number of votes went up at the end ㅠㅠ sigh
└Karis ya, I will create a world where it is better to live
―I'm even more pissed because he got 3rd place.... There's only a 20,000 vote difference with 2nd place and a 70,000 vote difference with 1st place, but if we had maintained our voting power from the beginning, we would have gotten fever time sooner, lol. Then we could have aimed for 1st place too. Sigh. I really want to kill all those evil bastards. F**k
* This is a public circle post. *
└ㅋㅋㅋ It really pisses me off that the fans in the top 10 are forcibly beating him down and criticizing him
└When I looked at the accounts of the kids who were swearing, they all had the same seal [twitter; profile picture] as Ji Yoon-chul
└ Even if I watch the killing part again, it's still legendary... If only he hadn't been cursed at, he would have gone to the finals with a fixed 1st place.
└Baek Si-hwa, how many crazy bastards have you fed water to just now? If you don't think you can debut, just quietly leave
Now, the focus was on the final episode, with only the final live broadcast left.
As people wait for the birth of a new group that will shake up the idol market, their anticipation grows.
A similar craze began to blow up in some European countries.
