If I Fail to Debut, I’ll Get a Killer Disease - Chapter 33

After they introduced the new system that allowed you to reduce the number of votes for a participant in 〈Idol Corporation〉.

– Are you kidding me? Hahaha is the staff crazy?

The internet became a mess.

– They really are out of their minds, why would they make a hate vote for people with bad hearts

– This is not spicy anymore, it’s a hell of fire

– Ah really, I don’t think I will be able to watch the next ranking announcement due to pain, you bastards, what are you doing to these kids?

– Aren’t we supposed to boycott at this point?

In the beginning, posts criticizing the production team and the staff covered the communities.

It was a natural reaction, but after this criticism became a basic sentiment, and articles like these started appearing;

-Summary of participants who will benefit from this negative vote and those who will lose.jpg

It was a participant evaluation.

And once you dig deeper than that, you would start seeing hate for participants people are not pushing for.

“Hmm.”

I skimmed through the article on the best bulletin board in 7 minutes.

As I slowly scrolled down, I saw the name I was looking for.

============================

[Park Moondae’s rank drop risk ★★]

: When it comes to talking about him, there are dog fights everyday about whether he is evil or good. There are kids who are biting to the level of sickly diseases. His numbers might drop quite a bit.

============================

‘Two stars is good.’

I honestly thought this would be the case. Because Park Moondae was an extreme character in the broadcast who people have no choice but to like or dislike.

‘The PR live or the first team fight editing was well done, so I guess that made up for it.’

In addition, the participants of October 31, who appeared in the first team match, were all latecomers at this point. Meaning it was inevitable that we would have malicious fans from the existing strong participants.

When I scrolled down, I noticed that everyone had a risk of falling except for Keun Sejin.

‘Of course, I can’t believe this one article alone.’

First of all, the mere fact that this article became popular without being ignored by people meant that it was somewhat similar to popular opinion.

But of course, there were still dog fights in the comments.

– You sure wrote a long post, pretending to be a master of IJC and dominating public opinion on the Internet, right? hahaha

– I’m already tired. I wish we could just stop doing stuff like this…

– Hahahaha this is so transparent, why try licking onto someone who is being so criticized? lol

– Is this roughly correct? Admit reality haha

And among these comments, there were also people talking about the participants who were mentioned in the article.

They were mainly enjoying chewing, biting, and tasting the participants who were likely to decline.

– Hahahaha Lee sejin is going to shoot down~

– What about Raebin? He will fall further… I think the fans should be strong!

Of course, there were also quite a few who attempted to attract the public opinion by mentioning ‘I don’t know why you wrote this person as stable’.

– Ryu Chungwoo who was a member of the National team should be more than average, aren’t many people selling his stocks because they are annoyed by how he is getting fans even during the broadcast

‘They are already creating excuses.’

Of course, there were quite a few stories about Park Moondae.

– I hope those who bring down Moondae choose one route. They say they can’t trust his skills due to the editing, but then bring up the edited version of his personality.

└ Yeah, let’s not believe those people who believe in the broadcast’s editing and say his personality is bad~ That’s all.

└ I’m going crazy, listen to Moondae singing in the PR live without background sound, it’s better than the broadcast. And why do you believe the edited version of the interview and pretend not to see the video of Moondae helping the other participants?

└ You guys are going back and forth between yourselves; Ugh, don’t risk your life on idols, Ahjumma!

└ Reported, bye bye

‘This…… I’m sorry.’

I was speechless to see how people were suffering from Park Moondae’s stocks.

Just because I was better at something didn’t mean that I could change the direction of the broadcast.

‘Actually… I already knew.’

The introduction of this negative vote was controversial, so I, as a public servant, knew about it.

There were around two or three cases where 〈Re-listed! Idol Joint-Stock Company〉 was on a tightrope between crazy topics and Xnet, and this was the first case.

Anyway, looking at the current trend, at first I didn’t really care because I figured I wouldn’t be eliminated even if my votes dropped. But now, when it actually happened…… It bothered me.

Those who support ‘Park Moondae’.

‘I hope they don’t get too stressed out.’

I hesitated, and then turned the window off.

Actually, I was going to look at the reaction of the newly aired episode 6 rather than 〈Selling Stocks〉, but because it got buried by these there wasn’t that much.

‘In the first place, I don’t have a lot of footage in episode 6.’

The stage of the team I belonged to was assigned to the next episode.

The team formation and song selection scenes were only partially shown, so there was no reaction at all.

– Ugh gommeo, why are you on the same team as Rae1Bin ㅠㅠ Kim Rae1bin, please stop doing charity work. Your last team was like a beggar too, There is nothing to see except for face. Ugh, how did you catch this…

– Moondae-ya, don’t stick to Yujin, just die.

Mostly, the only remaining reactions were the ones from malicious fans like these. No, I don’t know if I could call this a fan.

‘… If you look closely, they are also cursing Kim Raebin, right?’

It was a case I saw often even when I was selling data.

I didn’t know why they were cursing and claiming to be fans…… The important thing was that there were more reactions of them saying they hated him being in the same team as Park Moondae than those who said it’s good.

Even viewers who enjoyed ‘Park Moondae’ said it’s a pity that he couldn’t be with the team members from the first team battle.

“Hmm.”

I crossed my arms and smiled. I was wondering how the public opinion would change once episode 7 was aired.

The stage was definitely good, and there was a limit to what they could touch with editing.

‘Then, until then, let’s organize the status window pop-ups and achievements……’

Ding.

As I was thinking, my phone rang.

It was probably from the same-age group room. I inadvertently opened my smartphone.

Whether it was copied and pasted, two messages arrived at almost the same time.

[Kim Raebin: Hyung, how are you? I’m participant Kim Raebin. The reason I’m contacting you this way is because I have something to ask you.]

[Kim Raebin: Me and Cha Yujin are going to Gangnam Station tomorrow to check the advertisements posted by the fans, does hyung want to join us to see the advertisements… (see more)]

“……”

Did my advertisement appear at Gangnam Station too?

When I searched it up I saw a SNS post mentioning it starting today. Amazingly, Kim Raebin was good at searching.

But the timing was not good.

‘The system of decreasing the votes of people was just introduced, there is no need to stand out.’

If there was a happy eyewitness account here for no reason, there would always be bullshit like ‘Park Moondae seems confident?’

Besides, going with Kim Raebin and Cha Yujin? I could already imagine the curses in my head.

– I guess he is scared of the negative votes, so he is pretending to be close to the popular participants.

There was no reason to create this kind of trouble. Let’s try to protect the people who support Park Moondae as much as possible.

It would be better to wait until episode 7 aired.

I typed a reply right away.

[Park Moondae: It might be difficult because I have work. See you next time.]

[Kim Raebin: Yes… Then we will contact you again.]

I’ll see them at the shoot.

With that assumption, I started stretching before starting to work out.

‘Let’s build stamina.’

At this time, I never dreamed that Kim Raebin would send me greetings every day until the next shooting.

It wasn’t just a greeting, it was an image file of colorful greetings like those made by the elderly.

[Kim Raebin: (If you smile^^ blessings will come your way~ Let’s make today good by having a pleasant morning~)]

“…… ?”

Maybe it’s because the field is arts and sports, but every young person I meet recently has a truly unique sensibility.

***

And finally, it was Friday night again.

[Kim Raebin: (Happy Friday @->— With all my heart in these roses^^ Sharing happiness and health)]

“……”

How come the old man’s meme was getting upgraded. Now there was even a glitter effect.

[Park Moondae: Yes, you too]

[Kim Raebin: Thank you.]

Anyway, in order to have a ‘happy and healthy’ friday like Kim Raebin’s image said, I should have missed episode 7 today.

I drank beer and started watching episode 7.

My part was more likely to come out towards the end of episode 7.

Because the production team probably postponed the team with the highest average rank to the very end of the airtime.

As expected, the other teams came out one after another. I wasn’t that interested in it, but I had to check to see if anyone was hit, so I watched it carefully.

‘There’s nothing special.’

There were no particularly visibly friendly or hostile edits. It was just a storyline where people overcome after wandering due to ordinary part conflicts and lack of skills.

Then, in the mid-late half, Choi Wongil’s team came out.

It was a team that had a lot of participants from his previous team from the first team match, including Seon Ahyun and Keun Sejin.

The editing potential exploded here.

[Choi Wongil: I don’t know why you’re only doing this to me……]

[Ha Iljun: What…… ?]

Only read this at europalation (dot) wordpress (dot) com, please do not repost

They put in an interview of Choi Wongil and the bewildered team members.

[Choi Wongil: (Looking at him) Isn’t Moondae-hyung doing too much?]

Choi Wongil was completely overthrown.

“Wow……”

They were putting it in like this.

This was where the production team exploded Choi Wongil’s uncooperative attitude from the first round.

To be honest, it bothered me quite a bit in the first round, but I didn’t think it would explode like this after piling up.

But it wasn’t just me who built this karma stack.

[Kwon Heeseung: …Because I don’t accept his words.]

Gold 2 seems to have been a bit scornful since the 1st time. When there was no camera, he didn’t speak properly .

[Kwon Heeseung: Maybe it’s because I am the youngest… and lowest (rank).]

Of course, the crew who caught it with a fixed cam and sent it were also disgusting guys. Another participant spoke to bring up the ratings.

[Keun Sejin: Now, now! Wongil-ah. I understand how you feel. Please have a seat here.]

Just as I heard from Seon Ahyun, the conflict being broadcasted was stopped and settled by Kein Sejin.

[Choi Wongil: It is true that I was a little emotional.]

With that interview, the team continued to practice hard and ended with a good stage, but there was no one who covered their eyes and played around.

The Internet pages were already covered with swear words.

–  Is Choi Wongil’s personality for real?

– He is a bit emotional hahaha What he did was like an anger control disorder

└ But I feel like it’s even worse because he seems to be only doing this to people who are easy

– Did you see him ignoring Heeseung? I almost had PTSD because it reminded me of my hard times from school…

– Park Moondae needs to be reevaluated, he was a bodhisattva who willingly gave his part.

‘Well, it’s hard for Park Moondae to be mentioned.’

They change the personality to their own accords, and if there is anything suspicious, the swearing doubles for slander.

Fortunately, this team’s stage was okay, so the topic about Choi Wongil was slightly pushed back and appreciation for the stage took its place.

When the story comes up again, it will probably focus only on criticizing Choi Wongil.

He doesn’t have a good mentality, he must have had a hard time.’

I clicked my tongue and turned off the comments.

Now there were two teams left. Soon it would be my turn to come out.

Of course… that’s under the assumption that the others didn’t take it all.

‘There are many high-ranking guys.’

I put down my expectations and continued watching.

And I was surprised.

Dudung!

On the screen, Kim Raebin’s interview was reconstructed with a magnificent background sound.

Glittering Golden…… with captions that looked like it belonged to someone’s homepage.*

(T/N: there are mentions of homepage in previous chapters but I never explained it, so for anyone wondering homepage is basically a fanpage, a page made to show support)

[〈Kim Raebin’s Team Gathering Journey〉]

[Kim Raebin: To start with, I want to pick participant Park Moondae.]

“Cough.”

I spit out the beer I was drinking.
