The personality test quiz displayed on the tablet is mainly like this: they explain a situation and you choose the answer that is close to what you would do.

Of course, they are all special situations that happen to idols.

For now, I'll ignore the concert announcements that they explicitly put out for that event.

The real question is... "Will you just go with your idea and do it all over again in a limited amount of time?"

'Of course not.'

It seems that I am answering the question of a school assignment.

If the remaining time is only a week, then the stage should already be set. Even the wardrobe must have been fixed up, but now that you've come up with an idea, do you really want to change everything?

'I think it would take ... between 1 to 5 years to do it all over again from scratch.'

In other words, it would be impossible.

No matter how much I wanted to appeal to urgency or desperation, that wasn't being a passionate idol or being inspired, it was being arrogant.

I pretended to think as hard as I could and chose that option. Then I looked at the camera and mumbled something that could not be edited.

"If I do it alone, I'd like to try it, but performing doesn't only involve myself, it's an art that integrates many people ... so I think I should consider the situation very well. It would be better to organize and write down the good idea so as not to forget it and see if it can be done another time."

I'm sure it will seem strange to some that I chose and said that after showing another type of image because of the editors. Anyway, I'll move on to the next question.

As an idol, he must have his body in damn good shape.

If there was a serious injury between the members of the group, then why would I attend the award ceremony when he is covered in bruises?

But no matter how much I look at it, I think there will be a positive reaction if I go to the ceremony because they will say that I put in a lot of effort and have a good will.

'I feel like that would be wrong.'

I tried not to frown and chose a neutral response.

"It would be best to attend, but the aftermath of the car accident may not be immediately apparent. We would need to verify our physical condition through a check-up to make sure there are no interruptions in future activities."

I wanted to say something else, but I stayed silent.

'Are these kinds of questions going to continue?'

Oh yeah. The test somehow worked like this.

Surprisingly, all ten questions on the quiz were about ridiculous situations. Only the production team will know what the hell this has to do with the KPOP concept that fits us best.

I sighed and answered the rest of the questions.

After answering the ninth question related to an advertisement (which actually mentions the brand of the product and your company), the last question finally appeared.

I will finally finish the quiz. I quickly glanced at it.

Why did they put the casting call here?

As soon as I realized that I had been duped, the tablet screen displayed a countdown to reply.

'These bastards only give me three seconds to reply.'

I felt a strong will to react as if I were a terrified participant.

In an instant, the numbers disappeared.

Wait, I'll correct myself. I am the only participant who has prepared for this day.

That's because ... I've taken a lot of pictures of him.

"Nice to meet you."

A member of VTIC opened the door and entered smiling.

"...!"

A big star unexpectedly appeared.

Reflexively, I bowed my head and greeted him respectfully. If I delayed doing it, it would be misunderstood and negative reviews would rain down on me on the internet.

"Ah, I enjoy seeing your performances on the show."

"Thank you very much."

The VTIC idol came over and extended his hand to me, which I shook as if I had met the owner of an important business.

A cold sweat ran down my back.

'What the hell did they do to bring him here?'

Although Icorpo is currently doing very well, I doubt very much that they have invested in the VTIC agency to call him, so what did they offer in exchange for this young man to appear?

Will VTIC be in an exclusive Tnet reality show? Will you do any T1 affiliate announcements?

'...Well, none of that should matter to me.'

The important thing is to be careful with my words. I don't know what screenshots would appear on social media if I carelessly spoke.

I waited for the VTIC member to sit down first and I did so later. I tried to calmly identify the opponent.

'I think he is the leader.'

I remember his name and his popularity, but I didn't remember his position in the group. I just remembered that he is the most popular member of his group, he was in high demand for fancams because he danced well....

His stage name is "CheongRyu".

"Let me introduce myself. I am CheongRyu, the leader of VTIC."

I think his real name is different, but obviously I don't know.

But I don't understand why he would show up. I think even the original "Park MoonDae" would recognize him as he performed on various TV shows.

"My name is Park MoonDae. I will be under your care."

I don't know if this is the best he can do, but I greeted him politely.

'Should I have pretended that he shocked me outrageously?'

I feel ashamed that I forgot that I should have reacted differently.

"I know you've mentioned this on the show before, but you look very calm."

"Actually, I was so surprised that I stiffened."

"Haha, was it like that?"

Does that mean he doesn't believe me?

CheongRyu smiled enough to lighten the mood and immediately got down to business.

"The reason I'm here is ... to meet you, Park MoonDae-ssi. I came to call you and convince you to join LeTi, the agency that manages VTIC."

I was already expecting him to tell me that, but I couldn't help but think of something else.

"Did the production team crazy?"

If someone tries to convince a participant to join the prestigious LeTi agency, there is no way they will refuse. It wouldn't matter if he was a top nine ranked contestant on the show, it's almost impossible for them to give up on that tempting proposition.

Of course, getting in there doesn't guarantee that I'll make my debut in the next male idol group. I'm sure the agency already has their eyes on more than one trainee.

However, the current status of VTIC is so high that it was perfect for children in their early twenties to agree to join their agency. Since the proposal is made by a VTIC member, it is much more tempting.

'Even the guys who already have an agency would close their eyes and sign contracts to be in this agency.'

CheongRyu continued to say persuasive phrases.

"Of course, this is not a suggestion that I would make to all the participants. Remember the quiz you answered earlier?"

"Yes..."

"In nine of the situational questions and answers, Park MoonDae-ssi is the participant with the highest match rate with our VTIC members."

CheongRyu hit the table lightly with his palm.

"I can see that you have a similar talent with the artists from our agency LeTi."

"Thank you."

That indicated that there were people from different agencies who entered the other rooms to make the casting call.

'This will definitely show up in the trailer for the episode.'

Seeing that even VTIC came out, they must have gathered other idols in all the reputed agencies that were close to Tnet, so watching them won't be this much fun for viewers.

"Let me tell you the advantages of choosing the LeTi agency."

What followed was obvious. It's about wellness, achievement and vision.

'Is it to take care of the image of the company?'

It was amazing that he memorized it, although as a leader, I'm sure he already knew.

While listening to his words, there were times when I nodded my head or exclaimed in admiration as if I was listening to a very impressive story.

And to end his long speech, CheongRyu added a touch of humor.☆

"And as you know, LeTi is also the agency for Soft & Sweet seniors. Hmm.. don't you think you'd get a chance to dance along with them "POP☆CON"?"

"Haha yes."

Looks like this bastard hasn't forgotten my "popcorn addict" label. CheongRyu guessed that he had completely tempted me, so he smiled.

"Well then..."

He placed a pen and documents on the desk.

A contract.

I noticed that it had already been signed and sealed, so this proposal is real.

'Is it for real?'

Why is the direction of the program taken so seriously? I can't believe they drew up the contract.

"Park MoonDae-ssi, would you like to answer the call from VTIC's agency LeTi?"

"..."

Let's think about it for a moment.

We are currently thirty participants. I was called among the first ten people to be evaluated. In total, there are three groups of ten people.

'That means at least two more people will be chosen by the LeTi agency.'

What if there is more than one VTIC member here?

If that's the case, six people, including me, are likely to receive this casting. Maybe one of them agrees to sign LeTi.

LeTi is not a stupid agency, if more than two people quit Icorpo and go to that agency, they will surely group them once or twice to promote.

Icorpo's effect is not just good, it is too famous and popular.

'The agency is not going to waste that fame.'

So, if I didn't want to be an idol with Park MoonDae's body, this might be a better option since it's likely to only be active for a year and then things go wrong.

'After that, I can find a clue to return to my original body ... or find a new career path.'

If I stop working, you will soon forget me. There are dozens of new idol groups debuting every year.

I raised the pen above the contract.

...

Then, I quietly put down the pen and bowed my head deeply.

"I'm so sorry ... but I want to keep challenging myself."

"Oh..."

CheongRyu replied as if it was a pity to lose me. That can be seen as good fanservice, his attitude was also very nice in front of the camera.

"That's too bad. Park MoonDae-ssi, I thought you'd do really well in LeTi."

"I think you are flattering me too much."

I bowed my head politely once more.

"Is there any reason?"

Any reason why I refused?

In the first place ...if I were the only one who agreed to sign, I'd be in trouble.

That agency does not debut soloists.

Even VTIC members were not allowed to do solo activities. It seems that his agency believes that solo activities shorten the lifespan of the group.

And ... before I transmigrated into this body (three years later than the time I'm living in now) no new male idol group debuted in LeTi yet.

In conclusion, I would die.

'That's why I would never join.'

It would be crazy to leave the show and wait for my LeTi debut. Thinking about that made my whole body feel cold.

But I can't say this exactly, so I have to answer with another reason.

"Well ... I have to pay the investment costs."

"What?"

"There are people who support me so far by buying shares for my debut, so I want to return that investment.

That's true."

'...If I'm going to be an idol, I'd better do well.'

If I debut on Icorpo, I will sign a five-year contract with a label affiliated with T1. So, I must strive to be active enough to satisfy those who spent money and time to make my debut.

... Well, that's my point of view. Anyway, I have no other dreams or goals.

Also, it's fun... to see that people like what I do.

'Surprisingly, I feel like that suits me.'

I also like to make performances.

"I will try harder to be able to debut here."

That was a good answer.

I couldn't find the right time to appeal to my desperation until VTIC appeared, this time I won't be rejected.

CheongRyu listened to my reply and nodded.
