“Unlike the relatively simple dance, this song is very vocal-oriented. Our Yunho is lucky. Yunho is in the main vocal position, so his dance is weak.”
“What’s ‘Mebo’?”
“Main vocal!”
That means he’s good at singing, Eunseo thought.
Eventually, the scene of Chris singing appeared on the screen. Even with just the first verse, it felt much better than the other trainees. His voice was pure, and his vocal range was wide.
However, today of all days, Chris made repeated mistakes. To be precise, scenes of him making the same mistake once were persistently flowing.
“No, is the production team insane with the editing?”
When the same scene repeated for the fourth time, Suna, unable to endure it, exploded in anger. By now, Eunseo also understood perfectly. The term “editing” seemed to mean the devil’s edit.
“Those who attended the scene clearly praised Yunho’s performance. But repeatedly highlighting a slight deviation in pitch just once during the high notes is practically saying, ‘Let’s make him fail!'”
The same pattern continued afterward. They persistently emphasized a minor mistake in the dance steps, which wasn’t even a crucial point. Moreover, since he was in the backline during the performance, those who watched the stage wouldn’t have noticed it. Despite that, they kept showing and repeating the small error as if it were a big deal.
Fatal mistake in the important part of the choreography
Catastrophe caused by insufficient practice
With subtitles added for kindness, it was as if they were pushing the narrative that Chris neglected his efforts. Now that the stage was set, they were inviting criticism. Even to Eunseo, who knew nothing about it, it seemed excessively harsh.
“What did our Yunho do wrong to the producers? Why did he suddenly get caught on camera?”
Eunseo became anxious as well.
Perhaps due to Suna’s enthusiastic support, Eunseo didn’t perceive Chris, whom she saw for the first time today, as a stranger. Even on the screen, it was evident that he was genuinely singing. She really hoped he would debut…
Unconsciously, Eunseo found herself earnestly cheering for Chris as well.
Nearly half of the broadcast time of Chris’s team was filled with screens pointing out Chris’s mistakes. Scenes of the team members sighing after the mistakes were subtly inserted, making it seem like the entire team failed because one main vocal caused trouble.
“Despite getting 3rd place in the on-site voting among the ten teams, what’s with this editing, seriously!”
Suna frowned.
Watching the broadcast of another team immediately after, Eunseo learned that Suna’s claim that Chris suffered from devilish editing was by no means an exaggeration.
An aspiring trainee in the same main vocal position as Chris, he had no striking features, his dancing looked stiff, and most crucially, his singing ability wasn’t exceptional.
“How did that person become the main vocal?”
Eunseo asked to the point.
Yet, everyone’s reactions were full of praise. Even to Eunseo, an outsider, it seemed like ‘Is this considered good?’ But the trainers, who were professionals, widened their eyes in admiration, showering him with compliments.
Wow, Choi Wonha has really improved a lot, huh?
I just got goosebumps, didn’t I?
The reactions from the team members were all thumbs up, and there were only interviews saying he worked really hard.
The dramatically improved trainee Choi Wonha
The result of sweating efforts
They spared no effort, even using subtitles to raise thumbs up continually. It was an edit completely opposite to Chris’s.
Suna said, “They gave him a growth narrative. Starting off really bad and gradually improving during the survival show. It’s not something they give to just anyone, right? Probably because he’s the son of the broadcasting company’s CEO or something.”
Eunseo was watching this type of program for the first time, but it seemed a bit too much. Clearly talented individuals were persistently criticized for even the smallest mistakes, while those who originally couldn’t perform well were praised extravagantly for improving just a little.
“Is this how all idol survival programs are?”
“Well, there are devilish edits, big or small, in all of them, but Chris is blatantly too much. Maybe because he doesn’t have a protective agency, but it seems like there’s a decisive reason he got caught by the producers.”
As the pre-recorded footage of all the teams was sequentially broadcasted, viewer voting continued. Suna, Eunseo, and even Seungju sent a vote to Chris via text.
Finally, after the pre-recorded broadcast ended, it transitioned to the live broadcast for the announcement of the rankings.
A host appeared on the stage.
Idol Project 10, heating up even more! Finally, out of 60 trainees, only 30 remain. The results are…
The moment Eunseo, Suna, and Seungju eagerly awaited the results, the host shouted.
Will be revealed in 60 seconds!
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
