Chapter 45 (2/2)

Then, 11:12 pm

”Euah, it's starting It's starting! Ah, I'm so nervous, I can't watch!”

”Hey, be quiet Or I' to…”

The first broadcast of Next K-Star, which we had been waiting for for a long tian

Neptune was the focus of the broadcast

In a bad way

From the start, each team quickly made their appearance one after another, then suddenly, when it was finally Neptune's turn, a video of Lemon Girls appeared

The broadcast revealed that they were a teainally cast for Next K-Star, even kindly explaining they were dropped due to public criticism from the DUI incident Then they filled the screen with headlines and internet comments that appeared the day Neptune was cast

{Who is 'Neptune' who is replacing Lemon Girls on Next K-Star?}

A team I haven't heard or seen before suddenly popped out It looks like the staff were really in a hurry hahaha

An article that they were cast came out i out What the? I'm at loss for words

They are from W&U I'm 100 certain their company put them on the show

Then the video of the first time they ether

'No one kneho they were Everyone was like, 'Who are they? Do you know them?' and then, when someone said that they were from W&U, everyone was like, 'Ahhh…''

'Did they get preferential treat company?'

'Didn't everyone think that? Ah, I don't think this is right…'

Neptune's interview appeared the next moment

'Five out of the seven teams chose Neptune for last place'

A still of I face as she heard Producer Go Joontae's words was captured

A chill blew in the room It was expected Since the broadcast was edited with the obvious intention of creating conflict between Neptune and the other teams

Even afterwards, the broadcast progressed in an unfavorable direction for Neptune Reactions froan to show up, but the ative

Just looking at the their looks Why are they on this program when they don't have any popularity or skill?

Aren't they eroups who have the potential of beco true K-pop stars?

If it was going to be like this, why did they call it 'Next K-Star'? A shame to the country

As expected of Knet, I sirl group

It's not a devil's edit Those girls deserve heaps of criticis

Although they startedheated reactions with this They brought theraht from the start

It was a relief I took I's phone from her

When I sighed, the traitor poked my side Then mouthed, 'How is it on your end?' I shook my head in reply When I asked, 'How about you?' he briefly clicked his tongue and shook his head

Well, if the tame community sites were like this, then internet and social media colanced at Ki at his screen was dark as well

”Ah… I shouldn't have told my mom… I told her to watch for no reason”

I her face in her knees LJ was glancing at the TV while punching a cushi+on, and Lee Songha's hand gradually beca

The only one who kept her calht, but she wordlessly opened the wild ginseng wine and started to drink it with a beer

Kiled up his hair

”Let's wait a little longer Thelike this”

The traitor and I both nodded our heads

”It looks like the staff was in a hurry They dissed the up these coh chance that it'll end in a twist like chief says”

”And dramatic broadcasts usually do well”

Still, the et better easily Eventually, we, obviously including the girls, poured the strong wild ginseng wine down our throats without any snacks In a grilasses consecutively, Kim Hyunjo declared he would kill Producer Go Joontae if the program ended like this

Soon, the an

The perfores' unbridled compliments and criticis that they couldn't take their eyes off it The reactions on the internet gradually grew until it exploded when it was Sugar Cats' turn

Then,Neptune get up on the stage

Yeah, there will definitely be a twist Since it was a great performance, no matter who saw it

But, what should I do if they only showed a tiny bit of their perforha? Don't tell ht that made Neptune receive criticisms is this?

My throat felt parched

Accoeted co, were inserted once an Up until then, id due to nervousness

However, the moment Lee Taehee's voice flowed out of the speakers

My nervousness relaxed like it was never there

”Uh…”

It wasn't onlyroom ashed away in an instant Everyone was dazed at first, then absent- at the TV with relieved expressions

I broke the silence with a dazed voice

”… Aren't we doing well? Right? It's not coht?”

”Howshown the longest?”

”Uhhh, what do we do? We're getting tons of close-ups as well…”

The girls' perfores andfro sense of pleasure felt from the twist

Neptune's perforer and was more successful than any other team

Vrrr!

My phone, which had been silent throughout the broadcast, vibrated

{1} Korean alcohol

{2} I don't believe I explained this before, but devils' edit/ devil's editing process is when the staff is purposefully editing a broadcast to put soht
