The time has come.

I opened the comment box for the Aktober 31 presentation video I was watching. After doing some research, the general situation is...

"It's really scary..."

Yes, there was no other way to express it.

The number of views and comments about our team was too great, the numbers are five or six times higher than the other team's submissions that were seen in the 3rd episode.

Ryu CheongWoo's team also had an increase in views and comments but in a different way, they still seemed to benefit him.

Well, everything indicated that he could go through to the second qualifier. But I have to be careful, I have to be very careful in the next shoot because I realized the power of editing.

I'll take a look at things that could help me in the next shoot.

When I searched, the first official fancam video came up with the post date marked "1 day ago". I hadn't read the comments yet as I wanted to examine them objectively.

But the numbers were much more than I expected.

Considering that my dance skills aren't great enough to call them my "strength," that number was higher than expected. For good measure, I looked at the view numbers of other participants' videos that were listed as "related videos" at the bottom of the WeTube window.

30,000, 120,000, 7,000, 20,000, 60,000... Hmm.

There were few contestants who had higher numbers than me. In fact, half of the participants did not exceed 50,000 views.

As for the number of views, it is likely that I'm among the 12 contestants with the highest number of them. Since it was from the individual fancam video of my performance, the result was even better.

"But the content is the most important thing."

I reviewed the comments on the video, sorted by number of likes.

Look at Park MoonDae's expressiveness in each of the parts he performed. He was born to be an idol or genius idol ᅲ ᅲ

I'm surprised that this concept fits him perfectly

Popcorn, chicken feet and now horror. Park MoonDae, are you a god?

Thank you very much for making that bridge, thank you

Since MoonDae is a fan of Soft & Sweet, he was the only one who was a little excited when the song was chosen hahahaha He's so cute!

The last comment seems to have some misunderstanding... but I'll just think that they gave me a compliment because they seem to like it.

Apart from that, most of the comments were fulfilled. When sorting last, obscene comments were sometimes seen, but even those comments disappeared because they were replaced by a larger number of late-appearing English comments.

Then I searched for my name, "Park MoonDae" and "MoonDae", on social media.

Posts with videos and images immediately filled my phone screen.

MoonDae is so cute (Fancam Gif)

How did you come up with the concept of horror? ㅠㅠ Our MoonDae has talent, an interesting personality, and good sense. He is an idol who has the Holy Trinity! ㅠㅠ

Park MoonDae is good at singing, but I don't know if he is that special, although I do like his face (Attached presentation photo of Icorpo's page)

Oh, MoonDae, my Moon Puppy, eat well and be nice to me too ♡ (Attached picture of puppy mukbanging)

I was a bit embarrassed by the excited responses from fans for different things of mine. My face, voice, facial expression, eating behavior... There was even an article that said that he thought a habit I had was very cute, which I didn't know about.

I rubbed the back of my neck because I felt a little embarrassed... but I didn't feel bad. I was grateful and strangely motivated, I felt great.

Although of course, this may not be the entire public opinion of the Internet.

I was deep in thought until I remembered something. I'll see if they have changed the characters of my name "MoonDae" so they don't find them quickly in searches...

-Ok.

I entered the search term without much thought.

It was a simple modification that inverted the "Moon" and changed the "Dae" to a similar notation. I learned it when selling photos and videos of idols in my previous life, these changes were almost standard, but I probably got it right.

And just as I thought, the results appeared quickly.

That GomMer can't even dance to that popcorn song. i hope he gets eliminated hahahaha I hate that dog, I hope he dies. Yes, let him die or be killed

To tell the truth, that boy is not cut out to be the Main Vocal of his group. He seems like he has to clench his fists and strain to get the high notes out. His voice sounds... ;; He doesn't sound good, it seems like he can't even hit the notes right... Eew

The fact that GomMer is a fan of Soft & Sweet and has that face already seems like a concept to him~

I already want to see GomMer's breasts. I hope they undress him in the next presentation

Common person? Hahaha really, GomMer? He must have had his clothes washed when he was a trainee~ I bet he has a bank account too. It's too random for me to believe

There were many malicious comments towards me. Oh, although I was mentally prepared, it was still very shocking.

Even though it was weird, I felt something really bad in the middle of it all... Maybe it was the sexual harassment, but unfortunately it was a newly created fake account, so that person couldn't be caught.

Interestingly, several of the accounts that spread hate towards me have Cha YooJin's photo on their profiles. I think it's because he's the most popular contestant, but there are also real fan accounts of him mixed in with all those bad comments.

A strange and strong tension had been created.

Those people supported only one team and dedicated themselves to attacking the participants of the other teams. Well, it wasn't that surprising since that kind of behavior has always been observed in all survival shows. It was also something I experienced first hand when selling my idol material.

There were people who bought material from the idols they supported but also from the ones they hated to simply throw them away so they wouldn't reach the hands of those who loved them the most.

And, so to speak, Cha YooJin and I, Park MoonDae, seemed to belong to opposite sides.

"I did extremely well in team battle, so this is just a side effect."

Regardless, it was something he could put up with, rather, he had to see if there was anything to be gleaned from the malicious comments.

"I don't have much trouble with my singing or song choice."

Since there are some measures to determine if you have a good vocal talent or not, there is no choice but to check it as the program progresses.

The next thing that stands out the most among those comments is... my image.

They have said that I am very indifferent, artificial and unlucky. But they also made fun of it and said that my face itself is all a concept.

No, I could not improve my image if my appearance is not very good...

I never liked editing direction, but knowing this makes me feel a bit bitter towards editors and their jokes.

But I soon became convinced that what I was feeling at that moment was something unnecessary.

"If it's just my face, I can improve it."

The next shoot would be to be at the ceremony of the new classification of participants. Compared to the 4th episode, which will air soon, the filming time has been delayed by about a month.

So there will be no problem if I change my appearance a bit. I will do it because I want to.

I used up all my points on my Appearance level.

And after thinking about it for a while, I took out my phone, opened the group message chat, and typed a message.

Since I'm going to do it, I'd better do it right.

* * *

A few days before the 5th episode aired, where the ranking ceremony would take place, all sorts of rumors claiming to be ranking spoilers were circulating on the internet.

-------------------

I'm with the staff (Attached unclear image of the shooting set)

1st place Cha Yujin

2nd place Ryu CheongWoo

5th place Kim RaeBin

6th place Seon AhHyun

Child actor Lee Sejin is not in the top 10. I'm laughing while filming.

---------------------

I think it's fake but I hope Lee Sejin gets eliminated soon haha. Can you make a picture of the child actor crawling around the idol survival show?

L I already did it, it's in pdf

L I'll steal it haha

Cha YooJin is 1st place, just as I expected

I'm jealous that Ryu CheongWoo is in second place thanks to the edit hehe

L It's fake, idiots. Do not pretend to be deceived. he is gross

L There is a proof photo. Is it not true?

L He has stolen another behind-the-scenes photo from last year's show (Link)

L Oh...

As well as that article, many more were discovered to have manipulated and false information, so these posts were repeatedly removed.

The production team did everything possible to stop the spoilers and their efforts were moderately successful, since some real data was leaked anyway.

Because of that, just before the 5th episode of the rankings ceremony started, the viewers were anxiously sitting in front of their TV screens.

And here, the woman sitting in front of her computer, felt the same. She clasped her hands together and prayed.

"Please let many invest in MoonDae's stock..."

On the minimized tab of her PC desktop, she was uploading Park MoonDae's fancam that she recorded at the contestants' introduction event.

Yes, she was the photographer who watched the team battle as a spectator and she couldn't photograph or film anything as she was shocked by the performance, especially from Park MoonDae.

She was in debt because of the donations she gave to MoonDae in his PR video and also because of how much she invested in his stock so that he wouldn't be eliminated from the show.

She even established herself as a fansite master by posting the photos she took of MoonDae at the showcase event.

The day of the ranking ceremony had finally arrived. So, she thought nervously.

"There is no reason why he is going to lose his good reputation. I know he will get a high ranking, he will definitely be among the top ranks."

In these kinds of shows, young people who fail to stand out in the first few episodes always end up being attacked in any way and find it very difficult to climb up and reach the top.

"That's why this ranking ceremony is extremely important."

She was pretty sure that he would still make it, so she took her phone and wrote to her account.

I uploaded a fancam from Park MoonDae's showcase event (WeTube Link)

-----------------

It was a post attached to MoonDae's introduction fancam that was uploaded a few minutes earlier. As soon as she posted the video, the number of shares increased.

"Very well."

She proudly looked at the result and immediately added a promotional text.

Please support MoonDae a lot! :D ♡ (Icorpo share purchase link)

After adding that short text to his post, the last commercial ended, and 5 seconds later, the airing of the 5th episode began.

She watched the Icorpo logo on his screen as she eagerly kicked his feet.

Soon the logo disappeared and a brief preview was shown to build anticipation.

Several contestants bowed their heads nervously or embarrassedly, bit their lips, and some wept. It was a stimulating edit that created a lot of tension, but she didn't pay attention to that.

Because she just got to see a change in Park MoonDae's appearance... It seemed like his hair received a new hairstyle and...

-Blo-blond.

She spoke blankly until she realized the meaning and covered her mouth with her hands, trying to hide her surprise.

"MoonDae is blonde now!!"

Actually, his new hair color looks more like a golden brown, which is less shocking than blonde, but it was still a pretty cool change.

He looked amazingly good and so cute!

Idols have the virtue that every time they dye their hair, it is well received by their fans, but why did Park MoonDae dye his hair?

God must have prompted him to become an idol.

As she updated her social media accounts with hands shaking from her excitement, many other fans commented the same as she thought.

Amazing

He has blonde hair

What was he thinking?

Moon Puppy, today you're going to kill me with emotion... I'm sure of it...

It's perfectㅠㅠㅠㅠ

In fact, I think he has been dyeing his hair black until now. Anyway, he looks great

Park MoonDae's fans wrote countless posts. In fact, his new look and this young man's stock investment played a big role in these exciting impressions.

they firmly believed that the change of They used a change in the appearance of him. Since his haircut and styling was so good, his emotional outbursts went on for quite a while.

[Production of the PR videos]

All the behind-the-scenes stories were finishing editing, so the preparation footage of the PR videos will be broadcast before the qualification ceremony is broadcast.

On the screen, the contestants were stunned by the MC's announcement.

"I was curious about this."

She refocused on the content of the transmission. She thought that maybe it would clear up the reason why MoonDae chose the chicken feet.

However, it only showed the other participants who were looking for the balls and taking them away.

"What? I don't see him among those guys."

MoonDae's fans complained against the editing team for not including him in the filmed scenes. There were other viewers who, although not his fans, also commented similarly.

So the chicken feet story won't make it to the end?

They are ruining the history of chicken feet

Hahaha

But these reactions quickly changed because MoonDae suddenly appeared in the dining room, an area where there were no other people.

??

What? Why is no one else there?

Why is Park MoonDae alone?

The young man who had entered the dining room gestured behind him and a head poked through the door.

The spectators were even more confused.

Eh?

How come they are alone?

Did they have any benefit to enter first?

The subtitles also caused confusion.

No, that's what we'd like to ask you haha

We want to know that!

The actions of the three participants who quickly and accurately searched the dining room were briefly shown on the screen. The scene was then rewound.

And a "Click" sounded.

The scenes had flashed back to the moment where the contestants ran off to find the treasure balls, but this time they showed everything that Park MoonDae did.

Keun SeJin and Gold 1 had followed him, but to the cameras, set in the distance, it seemed as if the three of them had agreed to go together.

And upon entering the back of the lodge, the three immediately began searching for the balls without being interrupted by other contestants.

Hahahaha these guys are crazy

That's great

Wow, did they think to do that in such a short time?

They had a very good idea

Park MoonDae's personality is annoying, but I must admit, he really is very talented. That's why he's more annoying.

L Hahahahahahaha you were right

The three boys were in sync, when they heard the other participants coming, they immediately ran out of the lodge.

Viewers admired them and fans loved them even more.

As expected, our Moon Puppy is very smart

The three of them have a good physique, so they moved quickly and searched very well

But if MoonDae found so many balls, why did he choose to use frozen food? Hahaha

"I want to know too."

The photographer liked the most recent posts, but she soon refocused on the broadcast because she just saw the moment.

She watched the scene where Park MoonDae, who had successfully found so many balls of good grades, exchanged his two golden balls for AhHyun's bronze ball.
