“…dancing?”

From the opening choreography of ‘Into the New World’, movements that combined ballet and modern dance appeared.

It was vague and dreamy, but also not intense.

“It’s pretty, but…”

Gold 1, who had opened his mouth, stopped his words.

There was a limit to fixing choreography.

In other words, thanks to this choreography, the difficulty level of the arrangement had increased vertically once again.

However, if we use it as it is, I am sure it would be more difficult since it wasn’t suitable for the audition program.

Following the lyrics, I was hit one after another, and I started learning the choreography in an atmosphere like a portrait book.

“Let’s pick it up as soon as possible!”

“Yes!”

However, it was surprisingly pleasant to practice because the lack of a road ahead seemed to act as a sense of crisis rather than desperation, so everyone kept their mouths shut and worked hard.

They seemed to have guessed that if they complained for no reason they could be put on the episode while saying bad things about the song.

‘It’s good because it’s comfortable.’

I continued to practice silently without saying a word.

After all, I had no experience in choreography anyways so I didn’t look that impressive since we all faced the same difficulties.

“Here, if I grab my arm and turn it like this…”

“Um.”

“Oh, it was like.”

And wait for the right time.

Now that the atmosphere was set, the important thing was to paint an impactful picture that they didn’t want getting cut during the editing. It was also important how the arrangement process appeared on the show.

The opportunity came two days later during the trainer check-up.

* * *

“You must have been very worried after receiving your song?”

At the choreographer’s words, the team members laughed clumsily. They couldn’t say that they just finished the choreography and put off their worries.

The choreographer didn’t seem to like this reaction, but he let it go for now.

“Let’s see what you’ve done.”

“Yes!”

And the team members, including myself, finished the first verse choreography without any mistakes.

“Whoa….”

There was a sign of relief that came from the breathless people around me that showed that we didn’t make a mistake.

“……huh, all right.”

The choreographer nodded his head. It was a fairly neutral move.

“How did everyone memorize the moves? Who got the choreography?”

“Uh, the team members who were a little more accustomed to dancing did it…”

“Yes. We did it together!”

Big Sejin added more to Gold 2’s words.

It was true that the four Gold ranks took the lead, but in fact, Seon Ahyunn was the most involved. I found out that he was a dance major.

Well, he wasn’t entirely alone, and the main dancer became big Sejin, so it seemed like he was going to be crushed to some extent.

The choreographer just nodded.

“Uh, you must have worked hard. But…”

The choreographer broke his neck.

“I can’t see anyone.”

I could hear the sound of Gold 2 breathing next to me. Anyone who hears it would think that a ghost appeared.

“What are you guys doing? It’s just, ‘Jane is dancing. This works. That works.’ Aren’t those compliments you hear during school talent shows? And you guys came to make a living with that?”

Every time he said more words, the team members flinched.

“I don’t feel like I am watching anything.”

It was a natural result because we had avoided the interpretation of the song and only practiced the choreography mechanically.

“Some kids are way below the mark.”

While adding those words he clearly glanced at actor Lee Sejin. Lee Sejin bowed his head down.

Actually, I was at a level where I could barely memorize the choreography, but should be glad that they received the bullet instead?

The level of feedback so harsh to the point it wouldn’t be strange if one person squealed continued.

The choreographer nodded without hesitation.

“You, Seon Ahyun.”

“Y-Yes……”

“You said you majored in modern dance. But why is your expression weaker than that of Moondae?”

Seon Ahyun’s face was pale.

I had a strong feeling that these remarks would never be edited out.

This guy was about to make me lose my hair… Was he intentionally trying to shock me by comparing me to the guy who couldn’t do it right now?

“He’s a good singer. Since you’re auditioning here, you’ve had good reviews so far. If you debut and someone makes an article about you, do you think they will tell you that you did a great job?”

There weren’t many industries where the articles worked well as it did in the entertainment industry, but they say it as if it’s a place where people are judged only by their skills. It was still the same.

In any case, it must have been a huge blow to Seon Ahyun, and he looked as if he would sink at any moment.

‘This is a bit troubling…….’

He was still suffering from a strange condition, but it would get worse if he got in trouble because he couldn’t do his part.

“Anyway, your level right now is just that of an amateur who has practiced a bit. Think about what you want to express in this song, and then come back in a good state.”

“thank you……”

The team members, who had been ragged, walked out of the evaluation room trembling. They already had zero lives.

However, a similar situation occurred in the following vocal feedback.

“Guys. What do you guys want to do?”

Mudy tapped on the keyboard as if frustrated and sad.

Whether she really intended on giving advice, she poured out specific instructions instead of personal attacks.

“The concept of this song is the flower fairy. It’s a song that’s sung beautifully and clearly. But you’re just singing along to the note. I don’t feel impressed or sentimental at all. Aren’t you ashamed to call it that?”

“……”

I wondered if there was any team member who hadn’t thought that this song wasn’t suitable for audition programs. It’s because everyone was around the age where they were almost graduating or already graduated high school.

But honestly, we couldn’t say we were shy, so I came up with this answer.

“Since it is an audition, I wanted to rearrange it with a stronger feeling… but because the concept of the song is clear, so it’s difficult to naturally change it to a stronger direction.”

“If the arrangement seems difficult, you should have thought about faithfully living up to the original song more.”

“……”

Mudy waved one hand with a sad expression.

“Guys. You have to figure out the direction you want to head first.”

And with the intervention of the production team, team members’ discussion began immediately.

The cameras were close to us, and the production crew were sitting right by it, making it a terrible atmosphere where no one could say anything.

But someone had to speak up, so the guy with the armband opened his mouth first. It was Big Sejin.

“Um, we worked really hard for two days. Thanks to that, we got the choreography quickly. From now on, if we immerse ourselves in the song with that momentum, I think we can make it well enough for stage coherency.”

It was a natural, comforting talk as if he was already prepared. Look at this guy.

“Don’t leave us out, let’s work hard to keep the emotions of the original song! It might be a little embarrassing, but naturally, if we do well, it…… won’t it be fun and feel a bit like the hit song from mallangdalkom sunbaenims?”

“Ah, just like Moondae did?”

“That’s right! If you make it a little humorous and innocent, it’ll feel fresh. How about making the beat a little faster and having fun?”

In the end, it was meant to brazenly overdo the innocent female idol song, and rather digest it like the mallangdalko’s concept in its heyday.

‘…I think he really was prepared.’

At that moment I realized. This guy had been waiting for this moment like me.

‘He deliberately waited for the trainer’s feedback.’

If we just said that we should go pure and innocent like the original song, there would definitely be those who object to it.

It would also block the possibility of the main dancer role going to Seon Ahyun, who was a better fit for the original song.

He picked the meeting cut like this and took the leader’s impact.

It was no ordinary skill.

But how unfortunate. It was useless for this guy to paint a big picture.

Because my opinion was better.

Let’s make an excuse first.

“The idea is good, but if it goes wrong, it might look like a mockery of the original song.”

In the end, the song still belonged to senior idols. Who knew what we would hear if we crossed the line and looked ridiculous.

Of course, this objection was not expected, Big Sejin replied with a smile.

“We just have to do our best to make sure it doesn’t look like that!”

“Isn’t Moondae-hyung doing too much?”

“…?”

All of a sudden, Choi Wongil barged into the conversation.

“Um, Wongil?”

Big Sejin was rarely embarrassed.

It was a fun development where I benefited from the one who tried attacking. You could hear the sound of the big picture being smashed.

Choi Wongil poured out anger-filled remarks on Park Moondae with a gradient. It seems he was forgetting that we were surrounded by cameras.

“What kind of opinions do you have, hyung? Hyung might feel at ease since the trainee’s think good of you, but you have to think about the feelings of the other team members as well. If we just do the opposite……”

Oh, that was a surprisingly plausible statement.

“Oh, of course there is. My opinion.”

“Yes……?”

“I’ve been thinking about it, but I think there’s a way to go strong while preserving the original song’s emotions….”

“…?”

“Is there such a thing?”

The other team members shouted stupidly at the sudden ​​idealism that popped out.

In contrast to Choi Wongil’s momentary disappointment at the atmosphere that was quickly resolved, Big Sejin put his hand on the back of his head awkwardly.

This kid was really not normal.

“If it’s real, of course it’s fine… but what is it?”

I said with a smile.

“Mixing it with fear.”

“…!”

Let’s not just be flower fairies, but be flower fairies that went to America.

After a brief moment of silence with an exclamation mark, a reaction erupted.

“Uh, oh! Doesn’t that actually sound good?”

“Hey, if we add a horror concept to this choreography, it’s going to be really scary!”

“Ah……”

From Gold 1, who shouted like a Eureka while roughly swirling the memorized choreography with his hands, to Sejin Lee, who expressed that it’s better than the original taste, the responses varied, but it was mostly positive responses.

If you are an aspiring idol in this age group, you would want to do something cool rather than innocent, so I thought that they would rather do horror.

Big Sejin also gave a brief exclamation and nodded his head. He turned right after seeing the public opinion.

“It’s a bit embarrassing to talk about it right away like this, but… Do you like Moondae’s opinion?”

“Wow, he abandoned his opinion and switched!”

“As expected, a true leader!”

In an instant, the atmosphere brightened. Behind the buzzing team members, Mudy with a happy expression could be seen.

Judging from the fact that the camera also catched Mudy, I think they will use that cut too…… I hope it’s cross-edited well.

However, there was one guy who managed to break the heartwarming cutscene.

Choi Wongil… close call, but that wasn’t the case.

When he came to his senses, he must have been worried about how his words would be edited.

He tried his best to blend into the atmosphere somehow, but he also tried not to make eye contact with me because he had too much pride to apologize to me.

If it were me, I would have already buried myself in the atmosphere and ended up saying that I was too harsh.

We are in an atmosphere where the other person has no choice but to accept me, but I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because he was young, but he didn’t know social life.

Then who was the culprit, Seon Ahyun?

“Ghosts! Let’s go with ghosts! There are even flowers that represent dead humans.”

“What kind of horror movie is it? It’s too serious? Oh! There’s a movie Black Swan, if you make it feel like that…”

“Wow, the choreography would be really scary if we did it like that.”

Seon Ahyun was stuck in a corner with a depressed expression on his own in the midst of the group’s happy circuit.

“…….”

Perhaps because of what the choreographer said, it seemed he couldn’t restore his mental state.

I had a hopeful thought for a moment that Big Sejin would come forward and make the cut of a true leader, but there was no sign of that.

It seems that if Seon Ahyun came to his senses, he was afraid that he would be mistaken for being the main dancer from the former confucius buff, so he just left it alone.

The rest were just guys with bright heads or lack of social skills, so in the end the only thing we didn’t have to check was the overlapping positions since we didn’t have any.

It can be so annoying…… I was frustrated at the thought that I had to do something that wasn’t a part of my destiny.

Anyways, it was time to take a step forward with stage quality. Let’s get some words out.
