Kim Raebin calmly explained the reason on the screen.
[Kim Raebin: Participant Park Moondae is a singer who doesnât depend on the song, so there is no burden in terms of song selection.]
[Kim Raebin: Also, Iâve seen a lot of scenes where he flexibly accepts the other team members during group activities. He is my 1st choice for a team member.]
Shortly after, the scene of Kim Raebin quickly winning the mini-game and pointing out âPark Moondaeâ was shown.
And an interview with Park Moondae with a blank expression came out.
[Park Moondae: âŠâŠ?]
[Park Moondae: Thank you, but⊠(Why?)]
Thanks to the BGM and additional captions, Park Moondae, who joined Kim Raebin and bowed his head, seemed very embarrassed.
And another scene of Kim Raebin clenching his fists and expressing a small sense of victory was shown.
It was like a YouTube skit.
ââŠâŠâ
This wasnât the first time the production team created reactions like this, but it was the first time where they were able to accurately guess my heart.
[Kim Raebin: Next is Cha Yujin]
[Kim Raebin: And Ryu Chungwoo]
Without hesitation, Kim Raebin chose his teammates in his own logic, and the team members continued to be confused.
It was a production with a cute taste in its own way.
âThey must be trying to save Kim Raebin.â
During the first round, they edited him in a way that openly ridiculed him.
However, the atmosphere did not last long.
Once the red caption âHoweverâ appeared on the screen, a breathtaking atmosphere full of only white noise was broadcasted.

[Midterm evaluation a few days later]
[Youngrin: Who rearranged the song?]
Several team members looked back at Kim Raebin and Kim Raebin dropped his head.
A large caption popped up again.
[What happened?]
AndâŠ
An intermediate advertisement.
ââŠHmm.â
I poured the remaining beer down my throat.
They were trying to pull the ratings⊠Now I was amazed. Truly Amazing, producers of ăIJCă.
When I checked the internet during the break, there were all kinds of speculations roaming around.
The majority opinion was, âKim Raebin might have failed a team match againâ.
â Since the moment I saw him choose Park Moondae, I have been thinking that maybe he doesnât have an eye for people
âNoâŠâŠâ
Park Moondae was being mentioned first.
The beer made me more relaxed, so I was more angry than usual.
I turned off the screen and turned on Tnet again. The ad was just ending.
As expected, after the song was decided, the scene of discussion was shown on the screen.
[Ryu Chungwoo: Shall we hear Sejinâs opinion first?]
In general, it was an edit that highlighted Ryu Chungwoo, who took good care of his team members with less social skills.
In particular, him calmly responding to Lee Sejinâs nervous reactions were shown on the screen as it was
âLee Sejin opened a path.â
Was this a case of Ryu Chungwoo eating everything again?
There were a few scenes that charmingly highlighted Cha Yujin as a choreography genius, and a few scenes of Kim Raebin spent time arranging the song, but the victory still belonged to Ryu Chungwooâs decision.
It was during the midterm evaluation that the situation changed.
[You touched a lot of the original song, but it feels worse than the original song.]
The review was edited more seriously than the original lukewarm atmosphere.
It was an effect that was inserted in the middle of the review due to the sudden belated remarks of the original composer.
[On your stageâŠâŠI couldnât feel the power of the song ăBurning like the sună.]
I didnât know that this bullshit would appear on the broadcast like a village murder.
Anyway, in a serious atmosphere, a team member pointed to Kim Raebin as the person involved in the arrangement.
[(Right away) Raebin arranged it.]
It was broadcasted because it explicitly emphasized that the team members made fun of Kim Raebin.
It was a spine-wrenching edit.
âIâm damnedâŠâŠâ
I had put on a show just to avoid this, would we be able to go out together?
At that moment, the screen suddenly began to zoom in on âPark Moondaeâ.
âHuh?â
âNo way.â
Park Moondae on the screen had a thoughtful expression, and suddenly a flashback cut was put in.
[I think itâd be better to lower the key first.]
[How about adding some rap?]
[We have to arrange it so it fits the cheering squad concept.]
[âŠYes]
It was a scene where some team members told Kim Raebin to add elements of arrangement that didnât suit them.
Just as Park Moondae observed it carefully, his gaze was directed.
And the screen of the midterm evaluation came back again.
Park Moondae casually opened his mouth.
[Yes. Since Raebin could create an arrangement, we discussed it with the composer, and we all agreed on the direction of the arrangement by sharing our own opinions.]
They zoomed in on Kim Raebinâs surprised expression.
And Park Moondaeâs interview went in.
[Q: Why did you defend Raebin?]
[Park Moondae: I was just telling the truth.]
This⊠was a cut from an interview about arrangement that was done during the first team match.

ââŠHuh.â
âI was talking calmly on purpose to try and naturally change the subject.â
After going through the magic of editing, Park Moondae, who doesnât care about others, appeared on the broadcast as if he had just told the truth.
âNo matter how much I think about it, itâs absurd.â
Regardless of me being so nervous or not, the broadcast continued.
[Sincere message]
[Kim Yujun: Iâm sorryâŠ.]
After the team member apologized to Kim Raebin, the atmosphere quickly changed into something hopeful and warm, and the focus was on Kim Raebinâs touching interview.
[Kim Raebin: I think I was able to gather the team members well]
Unexpectedly, Kim Raebinâs face that smiled slightly as he said that, didnât look that bad.
And the new arrangement was⊠Oddly enough, Kim Raebin and Park Moondae suddenly appeared as if they were having fun with each other during a small chat.
[Ryu Chungwoo: I saw the two talking during break time]
[Ryu Chungwoo: But when I went backâŠRaebin was already on the keyboard, and Moondae was excited saying we would (beep-)]
The process of discussing the arrangement, where Ryu Chungwooâs interview was narrated and distributed, really looked like that, so it was even more ridiculous.
[Ryu Chungwoo: Are geniuses like that? Haha]
After that, short cuts kept on coming as if Ryu Chungwoo adored the two non-social geniuses and the team had good fusion, and the preparation for the stage ended.
ââŠâŠ.â
I really didnât expect it to be solved this way.
Anyway, I wasnât shown as a bad person, so I would have to settle for this much.
In addition, I originally thought that the stage was the best part of it, but I was very satisfied with how the production crew openly cared about it and edited it.
The ending was good, too.
[3rd place?]
[A situation nobody expected]
Because our team getting third place was put in middle of a advertisement and highlighted as if it was very strange and shocking.
You can say that they had pulled everything they could pull.
It was a clean gain.
âItâs okay.â
I immediately straightened my bedding. Once the tension eased, fatigue started setting in.
âI can monitor the internet tomorrow.â
Since I chose not to immediately look at the reaction this time, it was around lunch time the next day that I noticed the aftermath of my appearance during episode 7 was greater than expected.
***
â I decided to embrace Park Moondae. Compared to the groundless ones from the first team, he is a fairy.
â Looking at Moondae again, he has a good-looking face. Looks like you and Raebin are doing fine. Keep working together as a team.
â Rabbits and puppies are a fantastic combination, but the fact that they are medieval rabbits and mixed bread countryside dog is a icing on the cake ă ă
â Ohoh, did you ever imagine a day where this combination would do bad? (Shrug)
â How unexpected, I thought they would fight, but they got close instead;;
ââŠâŠOh.â
Surprisingly, as soon as episode 7 aired, Park Moondaeâs public opinion had a huge change among Kim Raebinâs fans.
Most of them were normal fan accounts that did not slander other participants, but some of them were giggling as they called âPark Moondaeâ an anonymity until yesterday.
The change of attitude was amazing.
Park Moondaeâs fan accounts seemed to feel relieved by relieving their concerns about the negative voting, but there were also few angry people.
â Whenever you guys curse like this, you wipe your mouth at any time, it really⊠It makes me speechless. In the meantime, I hate myself for feeling relieved ă ă
â I sigh thinking that I could be a fan of both if they debuted⊠Iâll just look at Moondae once and goâŠ
â Moondae showed a great attitude, came up with great ideas, and performed well on stage, so why should I pay attention to something else? lol
âI hope they donât get too stressed out.â
People should have fun while spending money, but these kids seemed to not be able to do that, so I wasnât very happy.
Even if we debut as a professional and become a team, all the participants currently auditioning were competing, so it may be inevitable.
Still, most of them seemed to be happy that the stage was well selected.
Immediately after the main broadcast, from midnight to this morning and lunch, episode 7 was organized on the broadcast schedule, so I could see the inflow effect.

The stage video immediately entered the real-time popularity ranking on YouTube.
â How can they pull off such a crazy concept so well;;;
â Theyâre heroes who came to ruin my scores, but I love them
â How could you change the cheering song for the baseball stadium into a hero theme song? Not only the stage, but also the idea and arrangement ability are all extraordinary.
â Aaaaah, the kids must have matched the colors. They are wearing items in each color! My heart beats for these details ă ă
â This performance is third? Arenât you guys embarrassed to keep them in check*? Lol lol
(* = referring to the people who used their second votes for other teams just to make sure they favorites win like Moondae mentioned)
â Summary of the appearances. 0:06 Cha Yujin (Red), 0:16 Min Jeonghoon (Green), 0:24 Ryu Chungwoo (Blue) ⊠[See more]
The individual fancams released at dawn were also increasing in number of views at a terrifying rate.
Even taking into account that the show was bigger compared to the first team match, the number of views on âPark Moondaeâs fancam was increasing rapidly for a main vocal.
The comments were also more favorable than the first round, and the ratio of âdislikeâ got lower.
â I canât deny that Iâm a genius.
â Moondae-ya, thanks for doing blonde hair. Thanks to you, Unni worked hard and put up her resignation letter. Iâll buy you lots of stocks ă ă Letâs debut and do silver and pink hair ă ă
â I canât believe he came up with a hero concept after a horror movie. Heâs amazing! I support him a lot. I hope he can debut! Haha
â How do you get more handsome and talented everytime I see you? What will happen if I end up ascending once you debut? ă ă
I was embarrassed but also proud.
Although this was something I had to do, I couldnât deny that I felt a sense of accomplishment.
As I thought so, the final best comment caught my eye.
â The main vocalist who is young, has cute appearance, and can even dance well is like a left-handed fireballer. I need to catch him even from hell, but thank you so much for walking into the stone plate with your own feet. Moondae-ya, you canât leave anymore ^^
ââŠâŠ.â
Honestly, it was a little scary.
âI wonât suffer from a condition like âcanât retireâ once I debut right?â
I quickly shook off the ominous delusions that had no benefit and cleared my mind.
Anyway, at this rate, there seemed to be nothing to worry about during the next ranking announcement.
âAre there only 2 levels left now?â
After two more team matches in the future, the program would come to an end.
I felt strange at the thought that we had already entered the mid-to-late stages of the show.
I thought it would be cool when the day where I could get rid of this trashy condition came, but it wasnât necessarily like that.
Maybe itâs because the results were much better than I expected.
The taste of such success was quite stimulating because I had been stuck in the corner of my room as a test-taker for the past few years and had not felt any sense of accomplishment.
âOf course, I am also tired because I was sucked in.â
Avoiding sudden death⊠If I looked back at it few years later I might think that it was a meaningful experience.
Of course, that was a story for when I wasnât falling behind, so letâs just think about survival first.
Diing.
The moment I made a resolution, a message came in.

[Keun Sejin: MoondaeMoondae, are you doing well? Do you want to go with me on the day of the shoot? With Ahyun too haha]
***
So the faces of the guys I met on the day of the shooting were completely dead.
No, Choi Wongil who had been trolling was sent away so why were you dead? What makes you so ugly?
