Chapter 27 – #05_ End of Month Evaluation (7)
“Is that the friend Joyce recommended?”
The first question asked by the CEO of Honey Enter, who hadn’t said a word until now, was related to Director Jo Yeon-joo.
“Yes, I recommended it.”
“Joyisa’s eyes on people are amazing. Do you think it will be a hit again? I’ll take advantage of Joe.”
“No.”
“It’s okay if your skills are lacking if you have that kind of visual. Skills are something you can develop as long as you have time.”
“CEO, your skills will exceed your expectations. That friend has a talent for art. I’ve been teaching for a little over two months now, but I’m following them on the group stage.”
“Two months? Wow~ It’s strange to say that. Isn’t that enough of a genius?”
It seemed that it would not be enough to call it a genius to have risen to a level where it would not be awkward to be among the trainees who had been working hard for several years in just two months.
“Is it because you really think about it?”
“Where on earth does Director Joe get such monsters from? I really want to imitate your attention.”
“Is that something you can say you want to emulate? You have to ride it.”
While the teachers chatter loudly.

Music turned on
In an instant, the space that had changed like a meeting of local aunties changed into a cool and cool business space again.
‘He’s still handsome.’
Director Jo Yeon-joo was a dance that showed solid basic skills, and it was revealed that her singing was also well-equipped with basic skills.
“It seems that the teachers taught me well. I got the basics right.”
“It’s almost laughable to praise Rose Trainer’s skills more.”
“It’s amazing that Hae-sol followed me well.”
“You don’t have to be humble. Rose’s trainer skills are already well known.”
Rose Trainer, an outstanding talent, was an employee who showed her ability as much as she received an expensive salary.
I took care in many ways not to lose her to another place by showing her performance beyond her expectations at any time.
The music is over
Teacher evaluations began in earnest.
“It was a stage where you can see that you have mastered the basics perfectly over the past two months. However, as her debut member, you know that she is lacking in all areas compared to other trainees, right?”
“Yes.”
“Still, I really like that he wasn’t greedy. It wouldn’t have been easy.”
“Thank you.”
It was very nice to see the standing posture.
If there are people who are frivolous in their actions, there are also people who show elegance in their usual actions like Jin Hae-sol.
Jo Yeon-joo thought that she might have done something she would never normally do because of the strange atmosphere emanating from that child.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve felt this feeling.
‘You make me feel possessive…’
Gyeonggukji color.
Indeed, it was not enough to call her a beauty that would ruin the country.
And such thoughts were not unique to Jo Yeon-joo.
The CEO of Honey Enter was also looking at Jinhae Sol with her eyes shining brightly.
“There is an atmosphere, that friend.”
“Yes?”
“Huh. How’s the acting?”
“It is said that acting is not good. Of course, that is compared to dancing and singing.”
“Grow well. It will be a big prize.”
“Yes.”
The last order is all over.
The teachers and director Jo Yeon-ju confirmed the members of the debut group.
The five pre-determined members clearly stood out and everyone agreed, and we had to decide how many more to choose from among the other trainees.
“In fact, five of them are so good that I wonder if there is a need to look at the end-of-month evaluation.”
“Yes, the other friends aren’t bad either, but those five stood out so much that the other kids felt like they were buried.”
“These days, eight people are the default, but I think five is too few.”
“Then would it be better to pick three more?”
“The problem is that there is a high probability that the three people selected like that will become folding screens.”
“I couldn’t see it well today, but there are many children who have their own charm. Let’s look at it one last time.”
I know I have to look at it coldly, but from the standpoint of the teachers who teach the trainees, it was true that I wanted at least one more chance to debut.
“I want to put it in an image that doesn’t overlap with the concept…”
“Woo-yeon is a cutie, Hae-sol is an elegant aristocratic boy, Jeki is a strong charismatic leader, Gyeong-tae is an all-round talent, and Kang-joon is a genius vocalist.”
“It seems that the softness is a little lacking because it is arranged like this.”
“Something soft, like a school senior? Are there any trainees who have the same image as an older brother?”
For a while, the trainees would be out of breath if they heard it.
Putting it in and taking it out, taking it out and putting it in.
The staff in charge of the debut of new male idols huddled together and held a meeting that lasted nearly an hour.
“Then you decide. Does anyone have any objections?”
“No.”
“The meeting took longer than expected. I think this is all because the teachers carve the rough stone well.”
“Everyone did a great job today.”
To be honest, I harshly criticized the trainees, but the skills of the trainees were leveled up to the extent that I was surprised inside.
I felt proud when I saw the children who seemed to be full of venom show the stage with a fight to live and die together.
“It’s not easy to see poison from boys these days, but I really liked how they all seemed so motivated. I am very sorry that I failed in my debut this time, but I hope the teacher will comfort me.”
The time when a rookie group is launched is the time when the most trainees cancel their contracts and leave.
It’s only one or two recommendations to other agencies, and it would be a huge loss for the company if all of them leave after raising them.
It was the best thing for the company to keep as many trainees as possible and leave them alone.
“Ah! And chief, I think you can tell the kids about that now.”
“Reality?”
“Yes.”
A reality program that has been traditional since Honey Enter first debuted idols.
This time, without a doubt, I was planning to do a reality program.
Once the members were confirmed, the camera was going to follow their every move and record them in the video.
「 「 「
“Finally, there is one additional member.”
Malevolent malevolent-
Only one?
Too bad! I thought it would be 3 people.
Please please please… !!
After finishing the end-of-month evaluation, the manager came in to the trainees who were anxiously waiting for the results.
The complexion of the trainees who heard the results from the manager was pale.
We also pricked our ears and swallowed our saliva in surprise at the shocking number of additional members.
“Nam Eun-gyu. You were confirmed as the last debut member. Congratulations.”
“Aww!!!! Thank you thank you!!!!”
Announcement of only one successful candidate.
Frustration lingers on the faces of the 10 debut group trainees.
The placenta is children who cannot swallow their tears until the end and spill them out.
In the devastated atmosphere, the manager awakened the cold reality.
“Even if you didn’t succeed in your debut this time, good things will happen if you don’t give up and work hard. Don’t be too heartbroken, I hope you don’t get frustrated. Giving up is easy, but after that it will only be frustrating. Also, the debut group will be gone for a while, and they will be merged into class A, so let everyone know that.”
It was about starting over.
It was also a fatal word for the trainees who barely managed to get up from class C by skipping half of class C, from class B to class A, and from class A to the debut group.
Leaving the crying trainees behind, the manager gathered the debut members and moved to the conference room.
The company staff and trainers were all gathered and waiting for us.
“I’m already happy to see them gathered like this.”
“You haven’t even started yet, have you already?”
“A picture is being drawn.”
“Team Manager Hong must have really been born with an artistic sense. It’s amazing that you can draw a picture just by looking at your face. He didn’t do art in that sense. It’s a waste. We lost a genius in the art world.”
“Hoho, honey, you really have no sense. Does it make sense that you’ve got a bunch of kids like this and you can’t feel anything? How do you do this job? Without it, it would be difficult to survive.”
The atmosphere was friendly but cool.
‘They fight.’
I am fed up with the war of nerves at work because I am not used to it.
But honestly, it was kind of funny because I felt that the members who were not used to this kind of thing were stiff.
‘These guys are really young.’
Oh my gosh~ Doing idol activities with these kids.
Now I’m trying to get a little more realistic.
You’re going to become a real idol.
‘I never thought I’d become a real idol because of the words I spit out while drinking. It is said that all troubles begin in the mouth, so this situation is just right now.’
The staff checked the overall atmosphere by having us stand in two or three positions like art ornaments on display, changing seats here and there.
Idol groups often take group photos, so it seemed like we shouldn’t have to do anything about choosing a seat.
“I think the prettiest is this order.”
After being dragged around for a long time, the order of seats was finally set.
Nam Gyu, Ki Woo-yeon, Jin Hae-sol, and Jeki Kang Kyung-tae became Kang Jun.
Kangjun was also a friend who became a visual, but he was too short, so he had to stand on the edge, and Jackie, as the leader, was positioned next to me.
Nam-gyu, who was newly added as a member, confirmed his position and seemed to understand it, as if he knew it would happen.
Ki Woo-yeon and Kang Kyung-tae also seemed to have no complaints, so they were dropped.
“In the future, when you stand in front of a camera, remember this order and stand like this.”
“Yes!”
“Yes.”
“We need to decide on a name for the group. Is there a name for the group that you guys have chosen as candidates?”
“No.”
“I’ll give you two days, so think of a few things. I can’t 100% accept your opinion, but I’ll give you a reference.”
It was about deciding on a name for the group we would be active in, but it seemed that our opinions were barely enough to be ‘referred to’.
Knowing that an idol’s group name is no different from their face, I was a little saddened even though I knew that it was inevitable.
‘We don’t decide to sing the song, but we sing the one decided by the company, right?’
This is the cold reality of idol group members.
After a while, I will be able to express my opinion to the company, but I am not even qualified to express my opinion right now.
“Oh, and you guys will be followed by a reality camera from next week. Did you expect? I’m going to film the entire debut process and show it to the fans, you know I have to do it well, right?”
Reality? A camera following you?
I think I’ve heard of it at first glance, but I haven’t heard the details.
But I’m not sure if everyone other than me knew about it.
I clenched my fists at the ominous origin of the word ‘reality’.
