A few days later. A video was posted on Mten [1] ‘s account on O-Tube.

▶ [Mten X Colors =?]

▶ [‘메이크 어 뉴 컬러(Make a New Color)’ teaser. 07.03 (Fri) 9PM]

└ Oh

└ Ah, this is that colors new gg [2] survival

└ 2:11 Who is she What’s her name

└ Eng sub plz

It wasn’t a long video.

After the silhouettes of the 12 trainees appeared, a prelude to an unfamiliar song played.

With their heads down, it was still hard to tell their faces apart.

Then the moment Ryeoyu, the center, raises her head,

The video ended.

[Coming Soon]

[We’ll be your new color]

[07.03(fri) 9 PM]

It wasn’t that surprising since it had already been reported in an article that Colors were doing a survival program for the launch of a new female idol group.

The first response, too, was just a small one.

Analysis of trainees who will be on Color’s new girl group launching program

———————————————

First of all, the center who appeared with her face revealed: Kim Ryeoyu (Rumors says that she’s the niece of Kim Mokyeong)

Both sides next to the center: Seo Baekyoung, Ryu Bora

Next to Ryu Bora: Kim Geum

Are the rest of them unrevealed trainees?

———————————————

– Ah, Ryu Bora appears

– Ryu Bora stops acting?

– What’s the name of the center

└ Kim Ryeoyu

└ Isn’t she that? Revealed trainee?

└ Colors didn’t reveal it, but sketchy people did ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [3]

└ She doesn’t seem like a center, why is she in that position

└ She’s Kim Mokyeong’s niece, read the post

└ ? Kim Mokyeong ㄴㄱ [4]

└ Director of Colors

As it’s a new girl group from Colors, attention has been paid to famous trainees.

Of course, a bit on the ‘good’ side.

In particular, due to the nature of an idol survival program, the center attracted the most attention.

Which is Kim Ryeoyu.

– It’s really Korea, If you don’t have any blood ties then you can’t get in?

└ although it’s not official, it’s quite brain-dead ㅎ [5]

└└ I guess you’re the one who’s brain-dead is you Pro-JPN [6] ㅎ

– Ah ㅋㅋ ​​even though Colors works like trash they are at least good at picking trainees but this time the trainees aren’t good either. Thank you, Decolors.

└ ㄹㅇ [7] ㅋㅋ Decolors, It was a big picture of Colors that I wished for

└ The center thing is already too much

└ I’d rather build a center for Ryu Bora or Kim Geum, the kids whose faces are known ㅋㅋ

└ What Kim Geum being the centerㅋㅋ is this even the time to mention Kim Geum ㅋㅋ Haigo [8]

– Baekyoung is appearingㅠ I hope she at least debuts this time

└ Wasn’t she in the debut group of White Noise?

└ What nonsense are you talking aboutㅋㅋ Just by gathering the trainees who are said to be in White Noise debut group would make an agency

└ Seo Baekyoung was really a trainee for 4 years at that time ㅋㅋ What do you know

– ㄹㅇYou color people, except the pretty ones, don’t debut the other kids.

└ If they’re worth debuting, they’ll debut ㅋㅋ. They’re also a company that needs to pursue profits, so why would they make them debut just because they’re affectionate?

Apparently, since they are trainees of a large agency, Colors, some of the trainees already have a little bit of recognition.

Those that could be used as examples includes Ryu Bora, Seo Baekyoung, Kim Ryeoyu, and-

– What this, I feel like I’ve seen that girl who raps somewhere

└ Isn’t she that person? The one from unpretty money [9]

└ Ah ㅎdeveloped in the finals ㅎ

└ ㅇㅇ [10] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ Colors need to get rid of the title that they’re really talented ㅋㅋ to make them compete fairly

└ ? Didn’t Kim Geum drop out because of health reasons? Tell me if you know abt it

└Yeah~ I guess she took it off because she was afraid it would come on again~

– Colors trainee who came out as a genius discoverer.jpg

A baby who came out as a rap genius, she’s appearing at Colors’ gg survival

Please show a lot of support for Make A New Color

Please give a lot of support for our Geumgeum

It was Kim Geum.

In particular, Kim Geum had appeared on a rap survival program, so she already had her own fan base.

Not to mention Ryu Bora, who has been active as a child actor for a long time.

– When will their profile appear

– Mten, do some work

– Release the self-introduction video. I can’t do business because there is no content

Will they even respond to the fans’ urging?

After a while, a little more content was released.

– Whoa, it appeared

▶ [ We talk by using the stage! |Kim Ryeoyu||Dance| 1 minute self-introduction by using the stage ♥]

▶ [ We talk by using the stage! |Ryu Bora||Sing| 1 minute self-introduction by using the stage ♥]

…

It was the individual self-introduction video.

***

Today was the day to shoot the self-introduction video.

The trainees did not go to work in Colors as usual, but went to a studio rented from the broadcasting station.

“Now, we’re going to film a self-introduction video.”

Whether the trainees were disturbed or not, PD Oh appeared with a broad smile.

That looks mean.

“I’ll give you just a minute. I won’t care about anything you do in that minute. Okay?”

I silently listened to the explanation.

A minute seems pretty tight, but that one minute isn’t the problem.

“But there is one thing.”

This is the problem.

“Talking is not allowed. Unnecessary explanations or self-introductions aren’t allowed.”

Producer Oh said with the most excited face in the world.

“You said you wanted to become an idol? What do you think of when you think of idols? Of course it’s the stage. That’s why the first impression should be made only on stage.”

Are you kidding?

Then give us time to prepare in advance.

Producer Oh said this was the problem. Right, do idols talk on stage? The intent is good.

But do you think an idol is some kind of a machine? If you press the button, then a stage will come out right away?

We can come prepared if you give at least a little notice.

Despite PD Oh’s mean words, the trainees only looked resigned, and no one complained.

Of course, there’s no point in resisting, but….

Rather, if you’re in a debut group, you need to have at least one killing stage.

Of course, I also had one.

In particular,

🗨️[’s first self-introduction video released! Do idols speak on stage? All netizens ‘praise’ for fresh self-introduction method]🗨️

I knew in advance thanks to the handphone notification sent by the cotton ball yesterday.

Just how much can you prepare if you knew a day earlier? It is a mistake to think like that.

The one-day gap in stage preparation is enormous.

In this regard, it can be said that this time I’m indebted to the cotton ball.

Or am I not?

I’m working for the cotton ball in the first place, so I think it should tell me this much….

…However, the cotton ball could’ve shown up and informed it in person, why is it notifying them through a news alert?

“Well, then the order will be decided by drawing lots.”

Producer Oh said, rubbing his hands like flies.

“One by one, come forward and draw lots.”

At Producer Oh’s words, the trainees came out one by one and drew lots.

I waited until all the other trainees drew the lots.

The order doesn’t matter anyway.

“Oh, the number trainee Yun Cheong got… It’s number eight.”

Producer Oh seemed to have just given any kind of reaction.

I returned to my seat without saying anything.

Producer Oh wrote the order of the trainees on the whiteboard.

After setting up both the camera and the audio, the trainees were informed about the range of the camera.

The space was not very large.

It was just about half the size of the practice room.

The trainees must be used to it.

All the trainees sat roughly at the back of the studio.

I’m curious about other trainees’ performances.

Of course, some trainees were memorizing lyrics or checking choreographies with a very anxious face.

As far as I can remember, none of the trainees who are anxious made their debut.

“Please briefly explain to us what you’re going to do. That way, we can film accordingly.”

After explaining, PD Oh sat down in a chair in spectator mode.

It was the best VIP seat with a good view of the stage.

I also sat in spectator mode and only looked at the stage.

Why you ask?

“Now, number one, trainee Kim Geum. Come forward.”

I need to find out who I’m going to cast as my group member from now on.

***

“Now, Yun Cheong. Who’s number eight.”

When my turn came, I felt that their eyes were drawn to me.

I enjoyed the previous stage well.

Most of the trainees who are confident in vocals performed covers of pop songs.

The trainees who focus on dance perform their own choreography to pop songs.

Neither was easy. Also, I enjoyed all of them well.

But I had to show something more than that.

Because I was the least recognized trainee here.

“Trainee Yun Cheong…it seems to be a self-composed song?”

Additionally, my goal is to debut as ‘No.1’.

“Using a self-composed song is risky. Will it be okay?”

“Yes, I think it will be fine.”

Originally, presenting a self-composed song on an audition program was completely random.

If you do well, you’ll look awesome.

If you fail, you’ll look like a beggar [11] .

Wherever you go, you will be less than mediocre.

But I was confident.

“Okay. Since you’ve prepared the song yourself.”

Where do I get this confidence from you ask?

“We’ll be starting.”

That is of course

The purple hill between us

The sunset is coming to soothe us

because it’s a song that was in first place for 6 weeks in my previous life.

Staff: How was the filming of the self-introduction video?

[Juhong: I was so nervous. That’s why I don’t think I was able to show my skills…]

[Baekyoung: I practiced it thousands of times…Maybe it’s because it’s in front of the camera, but it’s completely different.]

[Geum: Ah, it’s doomed. That’s all.]

[Ryeoyu: It was fun. Though it does make me nervous.]

Staff: Whose performance did you like the most?

[Heeyon: It’s Ryeoyu. As expected of an ACE…. although she’s my friend, it makes me wonder if she’s real]

[Kyeongah: Surprisingly, it’s Juhong. There’s something about her that catches my eye.]

[Geum: Isn’t there only one answer? That’ll be more interesting. Of course-]

[Bora: I can only think of one person.]

[Suin: That person is of course-]

[Baekyoung: It’s Cheong-ie]

Subtitle: Trainee Yun Cheong who received all the votes.

[Juhong: I didn’t even know it was a self-written song. I thought it was a hidden masterpiece or something]

[Geum: Seriously, if you had that kind of songwriting skill, you should have told me earlier. I’ll follow you around and learn.]

[Ryeoyu: I thought she had a hidden trick.]

[Kyeongah: I thought she was too much.]

Staff: Why?

[Kyungah: Like, my turn is right behind her. What am I supposed to do if she does so well?]

Subtitle: Tears…

[Heeyon: Honestly, I thought she was crazy when I heard that it was a self-composed song. At that time, I thought that way. Since it’s a dangerous choice.]

[Yuhyeon: It’s good that the song is good, too. It was amazing. It’s not a popular genre these days. Rather, it has a country feel that can be a bit old.]

[Haeun: But I thought she knew her voice so well. I thought that she’s using her voice well. She’s smart.]

Staff: Why did you choose your own song as your first self-introduction stage?

[Cheong: My hobby is writing lyrics and composing. I wanted to show you various sides of me. Since I don’t know when I’ll be able to show you my self-composed song again. I thought that I could continue to show you my dancing and singing skills, but it might not be my composing skills.]

Staff: Do you think it went well?

[Cheong: Haha. That’s a tough question.]

I pretended to hesitate and replied.

[Cheong: Yes, I believe that it went well.]
