46. First Broadcast (1)
The first episode air date, Friday, August 2nd at 10:50 PM, was approaching in an instant.
Won Hashin's house was crowded with contestants called by Neoul. The first team team members who performed on stage with Neoul, Ha Onha, Yeo Dobin, and Baek Yuri.
With eight people crammed in, the spacious living room seemed cramped.
'Why, why are there so many people?'
Won Hashin, who was going to make sweet potato candy, quietly changed his plans because he was a little surprised that Neoul, a sea creature, appeared on a broadcast and got to know a human.
"Delivery food is the best! Guys! Order whatever you want!"
Wow! Thank you!
Woo Cheong, Ha On-ha, and Baek Gi-yeom all cheered. The rest also quietly gave thanks and made bright expressions.
Won Ha-shin briefly doubted why he had to buy food for the participants of a broadcast hosted by a competitor of his grandfather's company.
But a competitor is a competitor, and the uncle couldn't starve the children who came to his house because of being petty.
He placed a lot of delivery orders and ordered some crustaceans for Dongdong separately.
When Dongdong heard a bunch of strangers ring the doorbell, she was startled and hid in her room in a hurry.
Actually, they had told her in advance that there would be guests today.

... and hid voluntarily.
However, Dongdong also seemed to want to watch the broadcast where Neoul appeared.
Won Hashin clicked his tongue and turned on the broadcast on his laptop, and put the crustacean in the bag that was delivered. Then he went into his room and turned on the broadcast on his computer.
Thanks to this, only the participants who gathered to film the reactions remained in the living room. Baek Giyeom fixed the camera, looking puzzled.
"But why did they ask to film this? It won't be aired on the main broadcast, right?"
"It'll be uploaded on YouTube as a behind-the-scenes video~"
Ha On Ha answered cheerfully, saying that there was a 99 percent chance of that happening.
"Oh, let's start!"
"No! Wait! The food isn't set up yet!"
"Oh, no! It's in the middle of an advertisement! It's supposed to start in a minute!"
"Huh? What? Who ordered chicken breast salad...?"
"Oh, that's Baek Yuri!"
"Ugh! What should I do! I'm shaking to death!"
After the brief fuss and commotion died down, the contestants sat around the large living room table in front of the sofa.
The faces of the contestants were all tense.
They were filled with excitement about finally getting their first broadcast, and worries like, 'What if there's no footage?' and 'What if it's maliciously edited?'
There was a lot of delicious food on the table, but no one could pick up their spoons. Only Neoul bit into the pizza and glanced at the screen with a calm expression.
Baek Yuri turned on Open Talk on his smartphone and was checking real-time reactions. He was surprised to see that there were more people than he had expected.
"Are there a lot of viewers?"
"That's right."
When Baek Gi-yeom's question caught everyone's attention, Baek Yuri showed the Open Talk screen here and there.

The inside of the airplane appeared on the screen. The heart-pounding in-flight announcement followed along with the subtitles.
As the sound gradually faded, Woo Yong-dam, a judge dressed in a fancy suit like an airplane pilot, walked into the aisle first and saluted.
[Woo Yongdam: Hello. I am Woo Yongdam, the pilot who will be in charge of your trip. Are you ready to trust me and fly high together?]
After finishing his lines curiously, Woo Yongdam made a face that his hands and feet were shaking and turned around to look at the distant mountains that were out of sight.
A subtitle appeared next to him who looked confused.

The list of awards was too long to list them all, so only a few recent ones were mentioned and the rest were omitted.
A tense, action-movie-like music played, and then Hal A walked in like a model and struck a salute.
[Hala: No, senior! The captain of this plane is not you, senior. I am responsible for your safe flight.]

[Hala: Ready for takeoff! One, two, three! All right! Goose, squid! Goose, squid!]
Hala, who provoked Woo Yong-dam, shouted out the phonetic code without any shame, with a completely shameless expression. Then she struck various poses and stepped aside.
Then, choreographer Miles Kim appeared, also wearing a captain's uniform. He confidently posed while pushing up his large sunglasses.
[Miles Kim: The pilot of

—Why are they all captainsㅋㅋㅋㅋ
—Three captains on one planeㄷㄷㄷ I'm going to get off.. Save me..
—ㅋㅋㅋHala is so excited
—The lineup is awesome
—Look at Yongdam's old-fashioned way turning around and looking at the distant mountainsㅋㅋㅋ
—Ah, Woo Yongdam ㅠㅠ the clothes are crazyㅜ
—ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
—I love Yongdam (heart emoji)
—Unni, you're prettyㅠㅠ
—Is Black Roulette a judge...?
—Miles' form is crazy
—Wow, how did you recruit Kim Mail?
—Hala is spelled in English, but why is Miles in Korean? Ma.il.s.Kim?ㅋㅋㅋ
—Wow
—Hey.. My heart is racing because they're all people I like ㅠ I want to get stuck in between them. Aren't you going to pick the vice-captain?
—Why are you so serious about the conceptㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Comments quickly went up, each saying only what they wanted to say.
As the three pilots stood side by side, the screen turned back to the entrance of the plane.
MC Jeong On-do entered with a bright expression, holding a flag with the
[Jeong On-do: Nice to meet you! I am Jeong On-do, a new guide who will guide you on your trip in a fun and comfortable way!]
[Jeong On-do (27 years old)
—Former Clear Leader
—2nd year actor]
A very brief profile came to mind compared to the judges with impressive careers.
Jeong On-do was a rookie actor who didn't even have any MC experience. However, he continued his comments with a relaxed and confident attitude, based on his brief experience as an idol.
[Jeong On-do: I will explain the rules of travel to you and guide you along the way. Please take care of me!]
[Woo Yong-dam: Okay. Then, to a place with warm sun, cool summer sea, and stars that make you dream while curled up!]
[Hala: Let's go on a trip full of song and romance~ Let's hold hands and set off together~?]
[Miles Kim: Okay! Let's go!]
The screen flickered and the black and white pre-application audition scenes flashed by, each lasting 1-2 seconds. It was a video of the trainee contestants.
"Oh! Cheong is here!"
The image of Woo Cheong dancing also flashed by briefly. Subtitles appeared.
[65 pre-selected trainee contestants]
[And....]
This time, the scene of casting additional contestants in Jeju Island flashed by.
[A chance encounter at a travel destination]
[15 additionally selected regular contestants]
[Current number of participants: 65+15 = 80]
[A story created by inevitability and coincidence.]
[Starting now!]
The first scenery that appeared on the screen that had become bright white was a beach in Jeju Island, the first filming location.
[Ticketing: Busking Mission]
After the explanation of the partner search and busking mission and the additional drawing, the participants ran to the beach.
The various props the participants were holding stood out. None of them overlapped.
"Wow...! I didn't know when we were filming, but I guess they put a lot of effort into preparing our travel concept."
Woo Cheong muttered in admiration while looking at the screen.
The scene of them running around looking for partners was edited to be quite nervous and exciting, but there were also some participants who were relaxed.
A few of the participants who walked slowly while enjoying the sea breeze were regular participants. The desperate appearances of them and the trainee participants were in contrast.
"Hey! Gal Neoul-i~"
Baek Gi-yeom tapped Neoul-i's shoulder while looking at the screen.
Neoul-i, who was busy tasting foods that he had never tried before except for chicken, finally looked at the screen.
Neoul-i's entrance scene was quite intense. He was drenched from head to toe, dripping with seawater. On top of that, the unbalanced collaboration of the hanbok and the bodysuit pants.
He didn't have a microphone, so he was talking, but you couldn't hear exactly what he was saying. The sound recorded on the camera was completely drowned out by the sound of the waves and people.
Only Baek Yuri's answer, wearing a rabbit headband, came out with his voice and subtitles.
[Baek Yuri: Hey... Is that Byeoljubujeon? No, but it looks like you fell into the water. Are you okay?]
[Gal Neoul: (Mouth Open and Close Open and Close)]
—??
—?
—He's handsome, but why can't I hear his voice ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
—?? Does anyone know what he's saying?
—Byeoljubujeon! Isn't it Byeoljubujeon?
—No, Baek Yuri asked that, right? ㅋㅋ
—What's the name of the tall man who's talking right now? I don't know who he is, but he's squeezing my left atrium and right ventricle..
—It's Gal Neoul!
—Gal Neoul~~
—The shape of his mouth looks like he's saying 'Aipnikkeo?'..! [*Dialect for 'isn't it?']
—Does Neoul speak in a dialect?
—Gal Neoul is a mermaid princess? ㅋㅋㅋ Why can't I hear his voice
—ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Mermaid princess
—Oh my gosh ㅋㅋ He looks like a mermaid princeㅋㅋㅋ
Baek Yuri was monitoring the comments while watching the broadcast, and he was so surprised that he ended up chewing his tongue instead of the chicken breast and lettuce.
'Ack…!'
—He looks like a princeㅋㅋㅋ
—He looks... like a savior who came to ruin my life
—The mermaid prince really suits himㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
—He looks like he smells like a cool ocean perfume
—Is it because he's black-haired? He doesn't look like a western mermaid prince, but more like a Korean mermaid..? He looks like he'd live in a dragon palaceㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Baek Yuri almost bit his tongue again.
Ah, they're quite sharp...?
