Save a Failed Idol’s Life

Chapter 158:

[Title] What are you burning for now? (26)

[Body]

Why is everyone suddenly on fire talking about their failed group projects?

[Comments]

[- Watch the live broadcast of Boam right now, it’s a disaster]

[ㄴ I just watched it]

[ㄴ Wow, they just publicly executed them]

[ㄴ And then they show the vocal group A right after, with such a harmonious atmosphere, it’s like they’re saying eat this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- If I were in their group, I would have just emailed the professor and quit the group, what are they supposed to do if they don’t show up?]

[ㄴ They only come out when it’s time to get the grades22222]

[- So today they’re showing the vocal and dance stages?]

[ㄴ I think so]

[ㄴ I might have something to say after watching the dance, but right now the objective facts are just infuriatingㅋㅋ]

[ㄴ If they wanted to complain about the devil’s editing, they shouldn’t have been late and skipped practice on the first day…]

[- The live chat for Puzzle is exploding right now]

[ㄴ It deserves to explode… Is it true that only one person showed up for the meeting of five peopleㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[ㄴ What the hell were they thinking???]

[- (A picture of the protagonist sitting alone at his birthday party)]

[ㄴ Ahㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ This is not even my main genre but I feel so sorry for him that I’m crying]

[ㄴ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I shouldn’t laugh but this is so funny that I can’t calm down]

After that, they showed the preparation process of the vocal group A, vocal group B, dance group B, and vocal group C in order, but the center of attention was undoubtedly the dance group A.

“Wow… You really worked hard, bro…”

Yi-jun exclaimed as if he didn’t expect it to be this bad.

And no wonder, the dance group A footage was mostly me preparing alone because of the members’ irresponsible attitude, and even the scene where I was doing the choreography with the teacher one-on-one was broadcasted.

[- At this point, they should just leave only Cheon Ise in the group project and kick the rest out]

[- And the choreography can’t keep up with the tension, it’s hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- The look of a tired and weak fatherㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- I wonder if the climax members know that their dad is working so hard to make money]

[- Oh, he got hit in the butt for the third timeㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

[- What’s with the captionsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

That’s how they showed the preparation process of each group for about 40 minutes. Now it was time to show the stage videos starting from the vocal unit.

‘Hmm…’

Surely they wouldn’t just show the group project falling apart and me carrying it all?

I glared at the screen with a disappointed feeling of doubt. On the screen, the vocal group A was a bit less tense than the other members, but they maintained a peaceful and exemplary atmosphere.

In the live chat, unlike the other groups where there were people who said bad things in real time, the compliments for each member were the main.

[- Wow, Son Seong-won’s singing is amazing, I knew it but it still gives me goosebumps]

[- He could have done well as a solo too, I think]

[- I’m looking forward to his solo debut later.]

[- The only group project that gives me hope]

[- They have a skilled member who can carry the group, a leader who has leadership, and teammates who trust and follow the leader and the center. What a perfect combination… I’m so jealous.]

[- Lee Hwijin is really smart. He did a great job assigning the parts.]

On the other hand, there were quite a few sharp reactions from vocal group B.

[- Why is Shim Naru so greedy for parts?]

[- It seems like he’s only getting pushed because the other groups have relatively weak members…]

[- If he throws a tantrum, they just give in and let him have it.]

[- It seems like they’re just too tired to argue and agree with whatever he says.]

[- If the result turns out well, he’ll be a hero…]

[- But if it fails, he’ll be a traitor.]

[- But can he be a traitor in Floson?]

[- Shim Naru is famous for not doing live performances, so I’m a bit worried about his vocals.]

[- He does live performances. Stop spreading rumors.]

[- Yeah, what is it without proof?]

The opinions were divided between those who didn’t trust Shim Naru and those who thought he would do something since he was the most famous vocalist in the group.

As someone who already knew the outcome, we could see the impending disaster.

It might be better to turn off the live chat when it was vocal group B’s turn. Vocal group C, who had a decent result, looked like angels compared to them.

[- I’m going crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThe sound is not clearㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- Can’t we take away the speaking rights of one of them? I can’t understand what they’re sayingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- Wow, they talk so muchㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- The leader’s body is generating stress in real timeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- They’re all so stubborn and don’t want to give inㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- Their spirits are so highㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- The strongest one there: Na Seon-woo, who is quietly snacking on his own.]

[- How can the snacks get through that atmosphereㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- Original spirit – Na Seon-woo / Glass mentality – Ryu Kyunghwa]

[- I feel like I’m going to choke and die, how can he eat so well?]

[- Usually, Kyunghwa would tell him to stop eating, but he’s too out of it to thinkㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

While the group members were fighting and arguing over their opinions, it was edited to be quite comical that Seon-woo was eating the snacks that no one else touched.

[My hands are going]

[The sponsor’s heart is warmed by the right action]

[Entering a state of nothingness]

[Cleaning mode ON]

“You ate that in the midst of all this?”

Kyunghwa, who was at the scene of chaos and destruction, couldn’t help but be shocked, and Seon-woo avoided his gaze and made an excuse.

“No… They all have so many opinions and talk so much… I thought it would be too complicated if I joined in… I was just staying quiet, but my mouth was bored…”

It was lucky that the product that came in as PPL was a low-calorie vegetable chip for diet control.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw Seon-woo eating three small packs of 20g each.

That was the end of the process of the last meeting before the vocal ABC stage, and the stage part started right away.

[Let’s begin! The boys’ pride battle, the unit stage!]

The MC announced loudly as the evaluation criteria that we already knew were briefly explained.

But there was something more about the Ace voting that made the explanation longer. It seemed like they anticipated the viewers’ complaints and re-shot the MC’s screen more detailed.

[Let’s meet the vocal A unit right away!]

The camera followed Seong-won and Hwijin from the cheerful waiting room to the stage.

And soon, they finished a neat and successful stage without any flaws.

[- Wow, Son Seong-won is really in a different class]

[- He sings so well even with the pitch correction…]

[- He’s the one who hit the chart with his solo before the comeback, he’s not going anywhere]

The other members were not bad either, but it was natural that Seong-won, who took the highlight, got the most attention.

Next, it was the turn of the vocal B unit, and this time, the reaction was reversed with a different atmosphere.

[- They don’t have to stand out too much, right?]

[- It’s because the A unit did so well, this is decent overall]

Unlike Sim Naru, who was harshly criticized, the result was okay. But at that moment, the problem of the voice crack happened and it turned around.

[- What?]

[- Did the part suddenly change?]

[- What is this?]

[- They all look so unhappy]

[- Look at the other unit’s faces, they look like they’re going to fight?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why??]

[- Did they forget the lyrics while passing the part?]

[- They lost]

[- Poor Seok…☆]

The voice crack was so clean that the rookie who covered for him looked like he missed the start or stuttered on his own part.

Maybe their goal was to avoid drawing attention to Shim Naru’s side, but the B unit quickly skipped their reaction segment compared to the other units.

That’s how the vocal B unit ended. And the C unit, whose preparation was intense but the stage itself was smooth, started.

[- It’s okay?]

[- The concept is pretty unique]

[- Oh, I like it]

[- Aren’t the parts too uneven?]

[- After seeing the previous stage, this one is decent]

[- Is Seon-woo a dancer?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- When is Seon-woo’s part coming?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[- He took care of his food but not his partㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

You can’t hide a diamond in the mud. Even though he was tucked away here and there, his beauty was working hard and Seon-woo got the most comments.

There were also a lot of compliments for the concept. If the A unit didn’t do that well, the C unit would have gotten a better response.

That’s how the vocal unit part ended with a lot of twists and turns. Now, with the dance A unit, our stage ahead, there was about 15 minutes left of the broadcast.

It would be over in 5 to 10 minutes with the waiting room reaction and the stage. What the hell…

I was scared for a moment as I saw myself on the screen, alone, organizing the last data.

“Ah…”

It was a scene of me stretching my back, which was sore from sitting too long. Then the interview that I had briefly done as a joke when I came out alone during the meeting time continued.

[Q. Your dance style has changed a lot since your debut….]

[Uh…. That’s….]

[His expression darkening]

[A photo of the accident]

[I had an accident during our break.]

[A major surgery that lasted for eight hours]

[I’ve recovered a lot now, but my back is still not good… So I have to focus more on expression than on bold moves….]

So that’s when they used it. They decided to go for a sympathetic mood and made the scene even more emotional.

I rubbed my crooked back for a while – I was just stretching because of my bad posture – and went in last after doing everything by myself. The fast-forward showed the text message I had sent, captured on the screen.

[I understand you’re all busy with various schedules. But we agreed to do this together, so I wish you had told me sooner if you were going to bail on the same day.

It would have been nice if we could exchange opinions and brainstorm together, but now I’m worried that I’m forcing you to do something you don’t want to do….

As I told you when we first met, my body is not in the best condition right now. Maybe it’s because of the pain, but I feel like I’m losing my mind a little bit. I really need your help.

I know you all have your own situations and things don’t always go as planned, so I don’t want to scold you. But we don’t have much time left, so I hope you can prepare a little harder.

Let’s do our best to show our fans a good stage until the end^^ Please arrive on time tomorrow.]

And sure enough, at the exact time, the screen switched to the stage with me glaring at the clock with an expression that transcended everything.

[- Cheonise’s face lololololololololol]

[- He’s about to explode lololololololololol]

[- I pressed capture to use it as a meme lololololololololol]

[- He’s about to spit fire in one second lololololololololol]

[- Wow, I can feel how hard he’s holding back in the text]

[- How to say X you bastards come on time without swearing]

Before the stage even started, a message notification popped up on the top of my phone.

‘It’s too late.’

You should have apologized before I sent the screen capture to the writers.

I turned off my phone screen with a blank expression, without any emotion.
