Chapter 38 (2/2)
There was a total of three judges for Next K-Star Producer Song Baekjin, who turned out nized by naroup, and a star songwriter Simon Lee, who often appeared on variety shows I could easily tell whatthese three
All three of them were characters with a history of malicious remarks
We didn’t have the opportunity to talk with the judges for a long ti teams, and each teaathered in front of the judges’ waiting rooreet them, let alone have a conversation
A few tea rooirls practice their song oncelooked at one es
Soon after, an FD[2] ca room and informed everyone,
“We are recording in 5 minutes! Please standby!”
The h theroom while the rest of us moved
After getting out of the confusion that was the waiting roo in the spectator seat in the open hall, I could see the entire fil set fro scale
Rails were installed on the high ceiling, and all sorts of different lights hung down and repeatedly flashed on and off
“Please don’t step there! If the ca trouble!”
“Reset the judges’ table so that the product placement display nicely!”
“Put mics on the cast Did you put them on standby?”
“Everyone besides Cha Suzy! She said she was changing her outfit!”
“What?!”
“She said that her outfit concept was co to change her outfit! She said it’s alh an express delivery service and that she will be out in 10 minutes!”
“Ah, damn it…!”
Below the stage, the staff were busy shouting and running around Since everywhere I looked was interesting, I looked around at irls had been busy looking around last time, but this time, they were focused with earphones in their ears
“You both turned off your phones, right?”
Kim Hyunjo turned to look at the traitor and me and asked
“Of course”
“It’s very troublesome if you move around down there and block or touch a caet if a VJ[3] asks for an interview to carefully think about each of your answers 2 or 3 ti”
“Yes”
“Since there will be uys from now on, watch carefully”
My ears pricked Although I clearly knew that I had a lot left to learn, it was definitely exciting to be responsible for everything er sense of responsibility, the sense of achievereater
We were nodding our heads when someone said from behind,
“Watching the girls, teaching new recruits, you have it hard”
When I turned around, it was Sugar Cats members and their chief We passed each other a few tiar Cats looked dishonest every tiood impression either
The Sugar Cats chief glanced at Neptune and laughed,
“But Neptune’s working hard Isn’t today a battle to see who gets the least criticiso strong in the beginning, and all three judges are the types to say things without a filter”
“Well, there’s nothing we can do about the judges co since the show needs a reaction from the start Still, those who everyone thinks did ould be pues, so it all depends on how they do”
The Sugar Cats chief grinned at Kim Hyunjo’s aloof reply
“Do you think a lot of theh Well, I don’t care whether they coood”
It wasn’t only the two of them There were s Well, in variety progras The only person as involved in Next K-Star and wasn’t worried about the ratings was me
As forand would get additional seasons I wished that the first broadcast was released quickly so I could personally experience Neptune’s rise in popularity Only then would the girls not experience the illogical events like this , and I could increase our area of activity
“Seoyoung Did you practice a lot?”
The Sugar Cats leader, Han Saetbyol, suddenly leaned out Ihtly as she took off her earphones
“Yeah I did as much as I could”
“Really? You had a lot of time So lucky We had so many other schedules that we didn’t make a lot of time to practice”
If solossed over it, but after bu into each other a few tih a translator ‘We didn’t have enough time to practice because we had other schedules, but since no one calls for you, you had a lot of time to practice’
If so to say, but I really wish they caes to the point where not even ashes were left
Just then, LJ, as next to I, mumbled,
“Then you should have practiced instead of staying in front of the judges’ waiting room”
“… What?”
When Han Saetbyol’s expression distorted, LJ shrugged her shoulders Thatto see if there were any VJs nearby
Even as I felt reassured after confir the VJs were far away, I inwardly felt refreshed at LJ’s straightforords To be honest, it felt like a 10-year indigestion was cleared
“Hey!”
I pinched LJ’s side
“What?! Did I say anything wrong?”
“What are you going to do if there was a camera?!”
Fights between children would becoetting in a fight of nerves, the ar Cats er didn’t continue their conversation
“Each team member put on yoursoon!”
The production crew member’s voice resounded loudly
The girls took their earphones off and got up Kim Hyunjo patted each of their shoulders and said,
“You heard, right? Even if the judges criticize you harshly, just think that they are being harsh because it’s a show and don’t take it to heart”
“Don’t worry, oppa After getting wet in the rain this ”
I clenched a fist
“I will co!”
