Idols Around the World 232

Chapter 232 – #33. Amazing Star (2)

[Amazing Star Season 11!! The best singer to sit in the seat of honor is covered! Fight and compete only on stage!]
└ Astar Season 11? Isn’t it time to quit?
└ A Star! Finally something to see.
└Season 10 was not very interesting. This time, the contestants should be recruited with decent kids!
└ Wasn’t it ruined? How is season 11 coming out?
└ It’s not like it’s ruined.
└Season 11? Where does 10 go?
└ Wow, there are people who don’t even know a word about season 10, but they said it didn’t fail?
└ I hope PD Pie will come to his senses.
└ If you go the same way as Season 10, Season 11 will be ruined too?
└ It was ruined because the participants were so bad, but there was no problem with Astar itself.
└ First of all, I won’t watch it if there are no male participants.
└Are you in heat? If there are no men in the program, you say you won’t watch it?
└ Don’t you know that season 10 was ruined because there were a lot of dull women?

“I’m not dead yet either.”

Amazing Star bulletin board full of negative opinions.
Nevertheless, Pie PD thought it was not bad.
It’s because it’s been successful in getting people’s attention.
When you don’t even have an opinion like that, it’s a more dangerous situation than being criticized.

‘The most important thing is when to reveal the participants.’

If you wait too long, people lose interest.
However, if it is released early, it may disappear from people’s memories and no one will remember the day it aired.
It is the PD’s job to decide the right time.
Even today, she scouted the bulletin board and adjusted her timing according to the reaction of the viewers.

“If the performers are revealed and there is a period of swearing, about 2 weeks is quite possible. Is three weeks a little tight?”

Pie producer thought for a moment about the participants being announced.
The time of 3 weeks will be a period of time for them to eat their fill of swearing.

‘Season 6 from the best to the worst. And season 7 made it from the worst to the best again. You have to think of going through the things that happened in those two seasons again.’

The confusion at that time was truly enormous.
It was a time when old die-hard fans felt betrayed enough to say that the current A-Star was not the real A-Star and would not watch it until now.
When dealing with people who protested like a riot, I cried a lot because I wondered if Astar was going to ruin like this.
However, season 7 was a hot topic enough to be called the season of miracles.
Enough to create a huge number of new fans so that the fans who left are not regretful.
It’s an honor to invite great stars and have them compete, but it was also a very happy time to make talented people who were buried because they didn’t get the chance to become stars.

‘If I can get the joy of the day again just by being criticized, I will do it! Season 11 will be the second legend!’

People’s interests change quickly.
She was able to become a well-paid and well-known PD because she made trends rather than reading and following them.
To set the trend once again, she prepared ambitiously.
16 team members and highly skilled professionals to support them.

“It’s a system that can’t cut without success.”

Just like the World Cup.
Just like the Olympics.

“It’s a fight against country against country, but it’s impossible not to gain popularity.”

Pie PD smiled with a contemplative smile.

♧ ♧ ♧

– If Uh-Star had asked me to be cast, he would have said he would appear right away. I’m at a level where I can appear on A Star. Don’t you think so?
– Now, the criteria for participating are different.
-That’s right. I’m so sorry about that. How long are you going to take them around and play house? Amazing Star needs a change! Back to the old days Now, quite a bit of time has passed, and in the meantime, there are a lot of top stars.
– Like you?
Haha! That’s right!
– Aro! Gotta go fast!
-Oops, let’s talk more when we meet later, buddy.
-Yes, Aro.

It was a really great change when I recall how they were wary of us at first.
This was largely due to the fact that we continued to come out here and there and let our faces known.
Appearing in so many programs means that you have a strong ‘background’.
And celebrities with such a background had a high chance of surviving on this floor.
In the end, the fact that we were recognized by them means that Yeonjoo’s sister’s strength was great.

“What does Aro say?”
“They say he should have appeared on Astar.”
“I was surprised to think that the story of Amazing Star had popped up and I had been caught.”
“Astar’s popularity is no joke. Does Aro want to go out there?”
“In the past, only great stars were called in and contested. If Amazing Star changes like before, she must think that she will be recruited.”
“Ah… Is Aro that class?”
“It’s not a little vague. The contestants on Amazing Star were all legends.”
“Aro is not a legend.”

That doesn’t mean Aro isn’t great.
Although her short stature is a drawback, Aro as a solo singer with her good-looking face, charming voice and excellent singing skills has attracted a huge fan following.
However, there is only a lack of comparison with the legendary singers who appeared in the past Amazing Star.

“Oh, you’re trying to make me cry. How many things will people say if we say we were invited?”
“I told you. It is a great honor that we have been invited to Earth Star.”
“Are you going to curse a lot?”
“It won’t be a joke.”

When the promotion of Astar Season 11 started in earnest, the aftermath began to affect us.
The members felt the pressure of the power of the amazing star that even celebrities became fans of.

“I have to work really hard.”
“A practice call today?”
“It’s definitely a call.”

I’m starting to think that if I don’t do it really well, I’m going to be x.
You have to break through the pressure and show off your skills.
What do you need for that?

‘It’s a bloody practice.’

Yeonjoo’s older sister is working hard for us, but we can’t do activities with her own strength forever.
From a certain moment on, the time will come when we will be active in our own strength.
And we’ve been watching that moment since appearing on Astar.
The success or failure of overseas activities is determined by how you show in Amazing Star.

“Aren’t you a bit bored? I want to give you more bread here.”
“You want a change? Have you already practiced everything?”
“I practiced hard and got it right, but I don’t think our stage was perfect enough to win first place.”

The heavier the burden on his shoulders, the more his greed for the stage grew.
He didn’t hesitate to change the choreography that had been put together.
Our current will was that everything would be fine as long as we could create the best stage in any way.

“Oops!”

Then there was an accident where I sprained my ankle.

“Are you okay?”
“Eww… It seems crooked.”

At first glance, Kangjun’s ankle looks unusual.
But no one is too concerned.
It was because there was a patch that we purchased and used very usefully for our bodies that are being polished in the practice room.
Apply the white cream to the sore spot.

“Ah~ cool.”

The place where there was pain is filled with coolness before I know it, and the muscle pain that screamed from fatigue subsides before I know it.

“Brother! I am here too.”
“If you really start selling this, it will definitely be a jackpot.”

Among my acquaintances, there is a friend who has been a traditional oriental medicine doctor for generations, and I have told him that it is a family secret pas he received from that friend.
Because of this, no one had any doubts even though this product could not be obtained anywhere.
However, there was a case where I asked if I could buy in bulk.
Of course, I turned down most of those requests.

‘Because it’s not something money can buy.’

Coins cannot be converted into money.
Spending coins on members is not a waste.
Because the way the members do well is the way I do well.
But it’s a waste to write to someone who has nothing to do with me.
Moreover, entrusting coin items to the hands of unknown persons was inherently risky.

“The changed choreography is really tough. How many people have been injured already?”
“Eun-gyu fell and broke his knee, Jun-i just sprained his ankle, and Jeki hyung also went to the hospital with a back pain.”

Among the members, the only ones who were still fine were me and Kyungtae hyung.

“I guess these muscles aren’t just cosmetic.”
“I guess it works.”
“Look! Don’t ignore my muscles in the future. When I ask you to exercise together, if you do it together, you won’t get sick.”
“Your cartilage wears out while dancing, but if you wear out your cartilage while exercising, how will you live after it wears out later?”

I rejected the exercise musae’s request to exercise like an exercise using cartilage as an excuse.
My body was a body that didn’t need exercise.
At that time, it would be beneficial to visit my older sisters and show their faces at least once more.

Match!
“Let’s start again!”
“Uh…”

The choreography was changed midway through, and as a result, the practice time became tight.
When we first started, we had about a month left, but we changed the choreography and the remaining time was two weeks.
The reason we were able to change the choreography without hesitation was because we had to create a new stage every two weeks.
We all thought it wouldn’t be bad to experience it before appearing on Astar.
Then, once every 3 days, the company employees were gathered on the stage, which was changed, and they actively received feedback.

“Can you guys really do it? I guess I was too greedy.”
“You don’t have much time left. Wouldn’t it be better to just do the old stage? It’s the first stage on Astar, so if you make a mistake, it’s a big deal.”

At first, there were many negative comments.
As much as the stage we prepared before wasn’t bad, it seems that we were anxious because we kept making mistakes.

“It’s really not that hard.”
“I’m doing this much because there is a stage I practiced in the past, but if I had started from scratch, there would have been problems.”
“I feel like my body isn’t keeping up. I understood in my head what to do…”
“I can see that everyone is so exhausted and nervous. It’s not like he’s enjoying the stage.”
“It’s clear that you can’t afford it.”

The good news is that we understand what we’re doing wrong.
The only problem was that I couldn’t express it through my body.
We got a lot of feedback and moved forward step by step.
As if it had been deleted, time disappeared and two weeks passed by…

“How is it?”
“… Really great. You finally get this done.”
“Then pass?”
“Pass!”
“Hurray!”
“Oh yeah!”

We were successful in getting accepted.
Passing in two weeks gave me a sense of security and reassurance that we would be able to do well as an amazing star in the future.
While the first shooting schedule was set and I was moving to schedule.
Externally, the contestants of Amazing Star Season 11, which were hidden in a veil, were coming off one by one.
Of course, as the identity of the participant was revealed, there was a great commotion among Astar’s die-hard fans.

[Amazing Star Season 11 The identity of the participant hidden in the veil is revealed!]
[The identities of Astar Season 11 participants. Stupid fans, “Is this right?”]
[A barrage of complaint calls to the production team of Astar… Emergency!?]

It started with a lot of criticism, just as the PD had predicted in advance.
