《Debut or Die [fan translation]》Chapter 47
Advertisement
First of all, the one who got most negative votes...was obvious.
[No.1 Choi Won-gil]
'It's over.'
Based on the editing of episode 9, unless something unusual happens, the next ranking announcement will be the last time to see him.
The problem was the second place.
[#2 Seon A-hyun]
This was also quite predictable. It was because the last voting period coincided with the period of time when public criticism against Seon Ahyun was at its peak. But this was a rather good thing. Unlike Choi Won-gil, Seon Ah-Hyun was suddenly excessively attacked, so the sympathy of the public opinion is slowly rising.
The overall comments like 'Isn't it good for Seon Ahyun to be in negative 2nd place?' was likely to completely reverse the public opinion and make them defend him.
Besides, he is in a stable position, because he did well in this team match.
'I'm sure he will be fine until the end.'
However, this explanation wouldn't work towards the actual person who was ranked in the negative 2nd place. Thanks to this, only the sound of TV in the living room can be heard for several seconds.
'If some bastard wants to watch the show as a group again, I'm going to cut ties.'
The atmosphere was killing me.
In addition, if you lower your gaze from 2nd place, you can see that the 4th place is Lee Se-Jin B. Meaning it was Big Sejin.
I think this is because of the people who erased all the remaining votes for him out of a sense of betrayal on the night of controversy.
'Since the issue has been settled quickly, there will be a lot of people who will get worried and vote for him again.'
As expected, Big Se-jin was the first one to smile and open his mouth.
"Ah~ When our team fight airs, it will just flip over, right?"
"That's right."
"I don't think it's going to overturn easily"
Kim Rae-Bin who suddenly opened his mouth muttered seriously.
'Is he crazy?'
Big Se-Jin looked at him with eyes that wanted to saying something, but Kim Rae-Bin continued to speak.
"We also completed this team fight well, so I don't think there will be a significant drop in the vote rate."
"... Hey, you...Umm, Rae-Bin. You know this is about a negative vote, right?"
"Yes... ah!"
Kim Rae-bin replied to Gold 1, and soon exclaimed as he had just realized something, and added an explanation.
"Minus votes also tend to increase in proportion to the general vote."
Except for special cases like Choi Won-Gil, it was statistically correct. Because it depends on the number of votes of the participants.
"...Oh?"
"That's true."
In an instant, the atmosphere relaxed. Participants who remembered the last ranking announcement realized that Kim Rae-bin's remarks made sense.
'That's good thinking.'
Although he lacked communication skills, he was definitely a useful guy.
Before I knew it, Seon A-Hyun also lowered his tension and reacted suitably to what Gold 1 was saying.
"Huh, then I'm not eliminated, am I? I am ranked -21st!"
"Hyungnim! It's because you don't have antis!"
"Y-you're right."
Instead of looking at the TV screen that has already switched to commercials, I checked the rankings again on the Internet.
[8th place Park Moon-dae ▼3]

It was ranked with Cha Yu-Jin ranked one digit higher than me and Ryu Cheong-woo one lower.
And compared to the negative votes at the last ranking announcement, my negative ranking seems to have fallen by three notches.
'Should I be happy about this?'
It was difficult to analyse.
In fact, compared to Cha Yu-jin and Ryu Chung-woo, who have never had a controversy, the 'Park Moon-dae' shown on broadcast had.
'I hope it's not going downwards.'
I think the performances I was in was chosen well every time. The number of views or mentions of the fancam continued to increase. The problem is that most of the people sitting around me also had good numbers.
"...If they had about 13 people, I would definitely be in a stable position.'
Since I already knew how many people will be selected, I couldn't be happy.
I swallowed the bitterness and looked at the reactions to this episode. There was not much criticism because Park Moon-Dae didn't appear much.
It was roughly like this.
- Moondae... You're good at trot? What can't you do?
- (Screaming at his cuteness)
- Puppy's eyes doubling in size after seeing the kimchi refrigator [Short video]
- Everyone, let's be thankful that Moon Puppy didn't participate in a trot survival show. If he did he would have taken it away.
A laugh came out from me. This was a ridiculous idea but it was kind of... cute.
'If I can't become an idol, I'm going to suddenly die. What do you mean trot?"
However, I got goosebumps right after I began to read the next popular article with a smirk.
- Isn't this his second life? That's a reasonable doubt.
You got this right.
Anyway, other than that, I liked to be in the rabbit team.
And thinking about it further, I was quite relieved that I didn't go to Cha Yu-jin's team which was the puppy team.
- It would have been nice if he followed the team that had his nickname since he is a puppy, but now I'm deleting my post from 20 minutes ago since I don't think so anymore
- Honestly, I thought they were playing tricks when they were trying to use this big data algorithm to form teams, but I'm just glad my kid is okay...
— Hahaha I saw the big data post on the website and it was cut so meticulously. Is there a participant the production team want to remove?
Overall, This was how the commenting atmosphere of those who liked "Park Moon-dae" was.
I felt relieved and expected that this performance will also go well.
It was a bit relaxing to think that I might debut at some point.
It's good that people were happy, but I'm actually less confident than I was in the first team match. Maybe it's because the final team match was just around the corner.
'I don't think I'm going to have much screentime in this team match.'
I think we decided on the performance well. However, no matter how much I think about it, the majority of the participants in the team were better than me.
'I should be satisfied I maintained this.'
During the broadcast, I was criticized even when I received too much footage.
If only one person in the team comes out as the main character? The number of fans increases, but it was also easy to be antagonized.

The broadcasting time is limited, so if one guy gets a lot of screentime, the other liked participants won't get enough screentime.
And 'Park Moon-dae' has never failed to get enough footage, but I didn't get it just by myself.
I should be happy they didn't give me room to pick up the pieces. //TN: I have no idea what this means either.
I turned off the Internet window with a bit of regret.
And a week later.
It turns out that the regret I felt was unnecessary.
"...??"
Why is there a lot of footage of me?
* * *
Park Moon-dae's largest anonymous fan community was full of expectations even before the 10th episode aired.
This is because Park Moon-dae's upper body cut was seen in the team's performance, which briefly appeared in the trailer.
Everyone was extremely excited about the high-definition performance that will come out in 10 days.
- Moon puppy's face in the preview makes me lose my mind.
= Hahaha I can tell just by looking at his face. I'm going to stream the fancam as soon as the show ends. Let's go for 10 million views.
- Hanbok? Rabbit mask? It's crazy. How can he pick such a good concept for every team match? It sounds like this was Moon puppy's idea again.
└ I think you're right when you look at the stage. With a fan's heart I understood the concept.
└ I'm sure he was born to be an idol
└ You're right.
They were excited and talked about Park Moon-dae even after the start of episode 10.
Comments from other team's participants came out for 40 minutes, with only mentioning big news occasionally.
Finally the part of team was shown.
- The staff really put them at the end of broadcast
- I saw a spoiler that said their live performance was the first one!! It was an opening! Why! Not here!
- I've already been a held hostage once or twice, I'm getting mad lol
- Moon puppy is finally appearing
People's talk finally focused on real-time broadcasting.
The team's song selection process was aired with the same hopeful and warm atmosphere as it was during the filming, without any major editing.
- Moon-dae: 'Hoho, your idea is good and his idea is good. Let's use all of it'
- Moon puppy, still as smart as ever lol
- Did you see Moon puppy's face when Sejin wanted to do a sexy song? I understand now why he's called tibetan fox. How cute lol
- Everyone is talking so quietly like there is no cancer-curing medicine //TN: idk what this means
Indeed, the broadcasting part of the team was bound to be heartwarming. This is because there were no particular conflicts to be extracted.
It was thanks to the participants who had no problems with each other and knew how to help each other gathered as a team.
It would have been a little different story if they were filming the dorm room on the night of Big Se-jin's school violence controvesy. However, there was no film data because all the cameras in the accommodation were removed due to device problems that day.
Therefore, the production crew had no choice but to show this warm image of the team.
Because this was a pleasurable contrast to the episode of team being in despair, the fans of the participants in team could have a pleasant viewing time.
During the production process, it was only the team that made and took care of all the elements step by step.
However, this was not the only advantage.
As the scene warmed up, the maliciousness went away and the void was filled with ambiguous sympathy.
- This is the first time I've seen Moon puppy having fun like that
- They're all familiar with each other, so they're comfortable
- It's so heartwarming
For example, the stretched out screentime appearance of team made things seem friendly and innocent.
It was not shown at all on the broadcast that we were living like zombies to meet the deadline without sleeping properly because that wouldn't fit with the show atmosphere.
Fortunately, they broadcasted our performance perfectly.
- I'm torn.
- Thank you for the combination of sexy traditional rabbit theme. Moon puppy has such a good eye for ideas.
- I heard through earphones Moon puppy's doubling vocals in all of the chorus
└ Wah this is mindblowing.
└ How is this possible?
└ And the humming was an octave higher. It would be foolish to not show off your skills.
The fact that viewers were able to intuitively grasp all the elements of our performance thanks to the amount of production process and not just the team story that was shown, created an unexpected synergy effect.
- I got goosebumps when Moon puppy turned around and came out of the earth
- Hanbok -> Western clothes -> Hanbok flow was good. The feeling of imagining the moon rabbit falling in love with a modern person in the story...
- It was nice how the stage ended with the gyesu tree appearing as a stump. I felt a little lonely as time passed when I imagined the story
└ I'm a 2D fan and I love this performance //TN: I suppose they mean they're an anime fan
└ I don't get cursed at by making cheesy comments like this? It must means that the performance was really good.
- Moon puppy, thank you for selecting legendary performances every stage. I can be a fan comfortably thanks to this.
Just like when our performance got an enormous response from the live audience during the set, fans who are watching the broadcast now were naturally pouring out comments without having to forcefully capture the attention of the public opinion.
However, the only small regret was that no one received a special storyline individually, and the stage ended with an exemplary performance.
The footage of all the team members except Park Moon-dae sobbing, as soon as we had gotten off the stage was also cut out.
Park Moon-dae was right in thinking that he would not get much screentime.
Contrary to the guess that some other team member would take over the narrative, no one was really put in the spotlight.
Thanks to this, as the team's performace was aired shortly after, the fan comments about Park Moon-dae quickly calmed down.
- Ah, that was good
- They should just debut like this
- I want to see more of Moon-dae's face ㅠㅠ. Is the show ending like this?
- They will show us more of the kids playing. The staff wouldn't be there to just edit it like a documentary since it would be boring.
Right at that timing, Park Moon-dae suddenly reappeared on the screen.
