Chapter 17
On the day of the cover song mission competition.
After receiving makeup, the twelve trainees moved to the studio.
It was the same studio where they had filmed the debut song last time.
Of course, the stage set had changed a lot.
Overall, the set was much simpler than last time.
After all, the broadcasting company couldn’t always spend money.
I remembered PD Oh, who grumbled about the budget every day.
In this mission’s final evaluation, my turn was ninth.
It was a decent order.
“Ughhh….”
In the waiting room.
Sounds of groaning from tension, moaning, sighing, and sharp sounds from sensitivity were heard here and there.
It was possible because the camera was off for a while.
…When the camera rolls, everyone will smile brightly as if nothing happened.
“Huh…”
Next to me, Yeon Juhong was clutching her head tightly.
She seemed a bit shaky since the mid-evaluation.
Today, she was completely out of it.
“Are you nervous?”
“Of course.”
Yeon Juhong, who couldn’t even cover her face because her makeup would be ruined, just sighed.
“It’s my first time doing this in front of so many people.”
There was a monitor in the waiting room that could monitor the stage.
On the monitor, the empty stage and the packed audience seats were alternately visible.
Perhaps due to the effect of the self-introduction video, there were plenty of slogans supporting each trainee.
There’s Yoon Cheong’s name too.
Seeing the name Yoon Cheong, not Baek Nokha, felt strange.
“What if I make a mistake?”
“What can you do? You have to pretend it didn’t happen.”
You can’t ruin the entire stage because of one mistake.
I said firmly.
“There seem to be people there who came to support me. They’ll be really disappointed in me. What if they come in after roughly looking at my face and run away after seeing my skills?”
“…Well… there’s no way.”
Who the fans support is up to the fans.
But Yeon Juhong looked even more gloomy at my words.
“I’m even right behind you!”
“Hmm, what. Is it bad to be in the back? Since the vote reflection, cumulative reflection is not anyway, it’s not bad to be in the back.”
If the vote is cumulatively reflected, being in the back is disadvantageous.
If you’re not careful, you could be edited due to the amount of content, and you could go to next week.
But the broadcasting company, which had once been criticized for such a system, did not do so this time.
Only the final round of voting is reflected in the results.
The voting results announced once every two weeks were just a kind of indicator check.
“No, it’s not a problem that I’m in the back. The problem is that I’m right behind you. I’m already lacking in skills, so I’ll be completely compared….”
Yeon Juhong kept mumbling next to me.
Was she always like this? In her previous life, I remember her as a very strong person with no gaps.
“You’re not lacking in skills.”
“Hey.”
Even after hearing my words, Yeon Juhong waved her hand.
“There’s no need to comfort me like that. I also know that my skills are lacking compared to other sisters.”
“Why do you think so?”
I tilted my head.
“That’s because I always get scolded. The trainers say I’m mediocre. The vocal trainer, the dance trainer, even the rap teacher says so. ‘Hey, Juhong, how can you rap so ambiguously?'”
Yeon Juhong imitated the rap teacher’s tone exactly.
Surprisingly… she’s good at imitating?
“I’ve heard so many mediocre comments, I even thought about changing my name from Yeon Juhong to Yeonjunggan.”
Yeon Juhong grumbled with her mouth wide open.
“I think that’s even more amazing.”
“Huh?”
Yeon Juhong looked at me with her eyes wide open.
“That means, you’re above average in dance, singing, and even rap, right?”
“…Uh….”
“Isn’t that an all-rounder?”
“Even if you call it an all-rounder, the skills are a bit… lacking.”
Yeon Juhong pulled her pink hair with a gloomy face.
Hmm.
I see a rabbit ear illusion….
“Objectively speaking, you’re above average here. Of course, I won’t say you’re the most talented. You’ll know that better.”
I said, recalling Yeon Juhong’s mid-evaluation stage.
“You did well enough just looking at the last stage. It’s a good job for a trainee who hasn’t even debuted yet. Of course, you’ll have to do better after debut, but you’re young, so you’ll develop.”
“….”
Yeon Juhong looked at me with very startled eyes.
Did I say something wrong?
“Sister.”
“Huh?”
“I hear a lot that you’ve changed lately.”
…That’s right. People really do change.
The soul itself has been replaced, so it can’t be the same.
“I don’t know, I didn’t know much about my sister in the first place, so I didn’t know if she changed or not….”
Yeon Juhong had a mixed expression of confusion and strangeness.
“You feel very different, sister.”
“Different?”
“Yes.”
Hmm.
Should I have acted more like Yoon Cheong?
I started to wonder what it was like to act like Yoon Cheong.
“Something… like a senior who has already debuted.”
Hot.
“It’s not a bad thing.”
“Then?”
“It’s cool.”
Yeon Juhong looked at me with a determined face.
“Honestly, I don’t know well… but I’ll try not to be nervous on stage today.”
Eek.
I chuckled.
“Yeah. What’s that? Not being nervous on stage, how hard is that.”
Even I, a 10-year veteran, was always nervous.
Just not being nervous is a huge thing for you.

[Yes! So far, it was the stage of trainee Bang Suin. It was a really powerful stage!]
After all the stages of the previous order were over, it was finally my turn.
[Now, let’s introduce the next stage. This trainee has been a big issue since the self-introduction video.]
While waiting under the stage, I heard a message introducing me.
I also warmed up my throat and tried to make a sound.
Yoon Cheong’s vocal cords were in a pretty battered state, so I was actually worried about pitch deviation.
But that’s something to leave to fate.
Right now, I can’t let such worries ruin the stage.
I could feel my heart beating.
This is a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time. A feeling beyond simple tension.
What do you call this?
[Purple Apple’s . Now, it’s Yoon Cheong’s.]
…The excitement of a rookie, I guess.
“Trainee Yoon Cheong, please go up.”
Following the staff’s instruction, I slowly stepped onto the stage.
Ah, really, even though it’s familiar-
You’re not the one, but shh
Your eyes are looking at me
It was an absolutely unfamiliar sensation.

Spoiler Alert)ㅁㄴㅋ First mission audience review
※Subjectivity Warning※
※If you refute, your words are all correct※
※Will be cut soon※
First of all, everyone was awesome.
I could really feel the gap between the colorful guys…
As expected of Colors, famous for its girl group taste, the overall quality of the kids was high.
First of all, I’ll only write reviews for the kids that caught my eye. It’s too tiring to write all 12.
The first was Kim Geum. She did the All Colors song and it was seriously awesome. Kim Geum fans can let go of their hearts. She just danced simply, but her rap skills were just crushing. She can’t not debut
…
The ninth was Yoon Cheong.
Everyone will have high expectations for Yoon Cheong, I did too.
And it will definitely not be a disappointing stage.
She covered an old song, and when I heard it, it was a song from Hong Yeonseo’s idol days.
I don’t know how she got permission, but it was really a God’s move.
The concept was just crazy from the start.
She said she would go with a soft and pure concept like her self-introduction video, but it was a surprise. The accompaniment was really strong from the start.
She went with a snake concept, but it was closer to a cool sister concept than a sexy concept.
It was a concept that targeted female fans.
She wore a rider jacket, a white shirt, a black tie, and leather skinny jeans.
※The tie is really important※
The quality is bad because I secretly took it with my phone, but if you want to see it, look at it.

Of course, there’s nothing to say about her singing skills
She’s just crazy. She danced well too, right?? Who said they couldn’t dance because they’re a Mebo?
She was just crazy. The other kids did well too, but she seemed like a 10-year veteran.

Take a step closer, girl
I’m here for you
I put down roots and bear fruit
In the video, Yoon Cheong was shining her eyes while waving her black hair.
I’ve been waiting for this moment
Bite me, here we go
Yoon Cheong untied her tie and grabbed it with both hands.
And she covered her eyes with the tie.
After perfectly digesting the chorus with her eyes covered, at the moment when the song was coming to an end.
The atmosphere of the song changes.
There’s nothing to be afraid of
Bite me
I’ll remove the things that covered your eyes
In line with the lyrics, Yoon Cheong pulled down the tie that covered her eyes.
The camera also close-upped Yoon Cheong’s eyes.
The light shone on the sweat-soaked eyes.
Then, the teardrop under her right eye sparkled.
I am your new world
And the song ended.
