I tried building up my stamina by exercising and practicing at the same time until the 3rd episode aired.
Fortunately, Park Moondae’s qualities were not that bad, so his body was able to follow my will quite well.
The unfortunate thing was that most of the practice achievements had been filled up to 500 times.
‘I think it will be difficult to quickly fill the stats by leveling up now.’
It was fortunate that the stat reward often appeared in pop-ups when I gained reputation and did successful stages.
Anyway, after working hard for a week, it was Friday again.
I headed to the meeting place at around 5pm.
It was an officetel located quite far from the station outside Seoul, and it seemed like it was probably someone’s house among the team members.
And on the way out of the subway station, something amazing happened.
“Excuse me!”
“Yes?”
“Perhaps
 aren’t you from Idol Joint-Stock Company?”
Someone asked this.
In fact, it was said in the form of a question, but the person’s eyes were already gleaming with certainty.
I thought for a moment, and nodded.
I wasn’t even wearing a mask. So if someone takes a picture, I can’t take it off or put it on, So I wasn’t in a situation where I could lie.

“Yes, that’s right.”
“Ah, I knew it!”
The woman who spoke to me was noticeably happy.
“I’m really enjoying it. You’re really good at singing too

 Hey, can you take a picture for me?”
What do I do about this?
I thought that Keun Sejin might take a verification shot, so I came out dressed appropriately. However, unlike in the filming, I had a bare face.
I know because I took pictures before. Most idols needed corrections for bare-faced photos.
‘
That’s why sometimes when I filmed rehearsals, I had to put in some full corrections for conscience before I sold it.’
But in the current situation, it was more important not to make noise.
“Yes. Can I look here?”
“Ah! Yes yes, wait a minute
!”
The woman quickly turned on her camera correction app, and she took a picture of us together in selfie mode.
It was fortunate that she was someone who knew Kang-ho’s way of doing things.
“Ah, thank you so much. I will definitely vote, no, I will buy stocks!”
“Oh, thank you.”
There’s a high probability that she wouldn’t even remember Park Moondae’s name, but let’s say thank you for doing it.
Anyway, maybe because of this person’s reaction, people subtly began looking this way. It became increasingly burdensome when people passing by started glancing at me.
I quickly nodded and gave my final words.
“I have something to do
”
“Ah yes! Thanks for the photo

”
I left quickly, since it seemed like at any moment she would say the words ‘but what’s going on?’.
And as soon as I left the station, I bought a mask at the convenience store.
There was no point in calling it excessive self-consciousness, but since there has already been a case, I was going to be careful on the way back.
But I couldn’t believe that I was already recognised by someone on the streets. I already knew season 3 was going to do good, but this was amazing.
‘It’s going to be a big deal in the second half of the show.’
The place I’m currently staying in was just a cheap room, so the security was poor. If Park Moondae continues to avoid editing like this, it may be necessary to take measures in the future.
As I walked, thinking about various things, I soon arrived at the meeting place. Since it was an officetel, it was new, so it was clean and the security was good.
I didn’t know whose house it was, but they seem to be living well. I was envious.
“Oh~ Moondae came so fast? Come on!”
“Oh, hello.”
When I rang the doorbell, Keun Sejin and Seon Ahyun came out.
“This is the living room~”
As Keun Sejin guided me, Seon Ahyun followed. Looks like this was a big house.
Well, it’s a natural picture for the group organiser to call people over to their house.
As I looked around the interior of the pretty cool officetel, I admired it honestly.
“It’s a nice house.”
“Right? I wish it was my house!”
“
..?”
Did that mean that he was not a monthly renter?
The brief question ended with Seon Ahyun’s words.
“Oh, thank you.”
“

”
This
 It was Seon Ahyun’s house.
In the meantime, Keun Sejin was almost lying on the sofa in the living room, and Seon Ahyun was sitting upright in the corner of the sofa.
I stared at this bizarre situation in which the main character was inverted for a moment, then stopped thinking. Whatever the case was. Let’s just hurry up and watch episode 3.
* * *
In the editing room on the 9th floor of the Tnet building, the production crew of 〈Idol Joint-Stock company〉 was working overtime today.
“The editing was delayed due to the live preparation of the PR video.”
“This is driving me crazy.”
It was a close situation when the finished version was released only a few hours before the airing.
Writer Ryu Seorin was annoyed and thought to herself.
‘So, it would have been better if the PR was just outsourced.’
Even though the advertisement was pushed in, the production cost was raised as much as a rat’s tail, so it was impossible to use outsourcing.
Thanks to this, her schedule, which was barely spared from the youngest writer, was a series of all-nighters.
Besides, the edited version she checked while working on the subtitles
 It was so unexpected.
‘Why did you kill them and push them away?’
Ryu Seorin’s own suggestions were not properly reflected!
She desperately wanted to grind her teeth, but she didn’t have the energy to do so. Her eyes turned yellow from staying up for two nights.

‘It’s not like I have any power anyway.’
Still, it was suggested for the fun of the program, but it was disappointing.
‘After seeing the editing direction for episodes 1 and 2, I was looking forward to it.’
She sighed and left the editing room.
She was thinking of resting her eyes for an hour until the episode started airing.
* * *
“Start!”
“Whoa, whoa! Our team is in this episode! Please!”
The former team members who gathered in Seon Ahyun’s ordered food delivery and passed the time by chatting about their current situation.
After episodes 1 and 2 were aired, each of them were excited about the reactions of their acquaintances, but there was no nutritional value.
– Moondae-ya, should we order chicken feet?

The most memorable part was that he asked that with a big grin.
Anyway, after roughly listening through it, it was soon airtime.
‘It’s nice to see it on a big screen.’
I casually thought to myself as I looked at the huge TV attached to the wall that took up a quarter of the living room wall.
“Ah, let’s start.”
Seeing the others who were full and drooping on the sofa or on the floor were sitting holding each other, it seemed that monitoring would not be disturbed, and that was also very good.
But such simple thinking was an illusion.
[Since this is the first team match, there must be a participant that you all want to team up with?]
As soon as the words of the MC were broadcasted, an interview was put in.
[Cha Yujin: If I did it with Raebin!]
[Lee Sejin (B): Me? (edited) Oh, Moondae is good!]
[Park Moondae: (head lowered)]
“Ahh, hyungs are here!!”
“Keun Sejin-hyung’s interview cut is well received.”
“Wow, I told you! It didn’t come out.”
Whenever one of the team members appeared on the screen, everyone reacted arrogantly.
I was going crazy because I had a hard time concentrating on the screen.
In the meantime, Keun Sejin burst into laughter.
It was good that he was put as Lee Sejin (B) since there was another person with the same name.
“Park Moondae, are you really like that? Hahahaha!”
“

No.”
That couldn’t be.
That guy, Keun Sejin, actually named over 7 people, asking for atleast one, but it was clear that only my name was on the air.
Anyway, let’s try to stay focused on the screen.
Despite the chatter, the broadcast continued.
[Wow!!]
[Isn’t our team good?]
First of all, the moment this team was decided came out warmly.
They mainly showed us hugging and circling, so it seemed fun to be with the participants who wanted to be innocent. What was unexpected was the editing direction of the opposing team, which had the former member of the national archery team Ryu Chungwoo.
[Lee Dojun: Oh, a little

]
[Park Jungseob: I guess this is how it goes.]
[Choi Sangjin: Really fun? (Edit) It doesn’t feel that way.]
[Ryu Chungwoo: Oh man. (Laughs)]
Although the atmosphere was relatively low, it was a team that quickly settled under the leadership of Ryu Chungwoo, but it came out as if the atmosphere was destroyed on air.
“Uh

”
“Hmm.”
It was difficult to comment, and an ambiguous exclamation came from the side.
It was difficult to like and difficult to criticize.
After passing through the formation process of other teams, the next stage was the selection process.
Gold 1, who pressed the button on the panel with a scream without looking properly, came out as a solo cut.
“Ahhh

”
Gold 1 looked at his black history in pain. On the screen, he was talking nonsense.
[O-Oryunga?]
And the edit that followed

 It wasn’t serious.
An interview with the team members came out along with the BGM for gags.

For reference, Ha Iljun is Gold 1 and Kwon Heeseung is Gold 2.
[Sejin Lee (B): Did you see our faces?? Just like this!]
[Kwon Heeseung: We
 What to do? Uhh

]
[Seon Ahyun: (Smiles and shrugs.)]
[Ha Iljun: 
 Sorry. Heh heh.]
[♡Into the new world / Mallangdalkom♡]
The panel flashed in the background like a joke.

And here, for some reason, an interview with Park Moondae appeared.
[Park Moondae: I liked it. (Thumbs up)]
A caption appeared.
[Fan heart wins everything
 !☆]
The living room became a crucible of laughter.
“Ahahaha!!”
“Hahak, haha, my stomach hurts from laughing so much
!”
Even Lee Sejin’s face turned red as he forced himself to hold back his laughter.
“Hey, is that real? Did you really do that?”
“
I said I liked the group.”
“Hmhm, big, ah~ really? Thank you.”
Keun Sejin giggled and sank onto the sofa.
I
 Just put the chicken in my mouth.
‘Let’s not get involved.’
After that, even the choreography practice and trainer feedback trial and error were set in a way that was not too serious.
[Let’s do it like this!]
[Hmm, okay.]
The moderately dark early practice was edited as if we were working hard without knowing what we were doing.
The first tense background sound came out when the choreographer was venomous.
[I don’t see anyone
 What are you going to do?]
After that, a series of personal attacks were sent out as it was, with huge subtitles emphasizing every word.
“It’s really strong when you hear it again.”
“I’m telling you now, but I was really scared.”
“Yes. I can see it.”
“Yeah. You also.”
When the team members with hardened expressions were projected on the screen, the sincerity went back and forth like a joke in the living room.
Fortunately, the scene where Seon Ah-hyeon was stalked by the choreographer did not focus on me, but mainly showed Seon Ahyun, who was shocked.
And at an unexpected time, an unexpected scene came out.
[Are you tired?]
[Ah, no

]
There was a scene where I talked to Seon Ahyun, who was being edited as the ‘Seon Ahyun, the participant who couldn’t concentrate on practice’ type.
It was the conversation where I used the ‘Now that I heard it, you are right’ trait.
Even the timing wasn’t right. That was after we decided to arrange the arrangement.
“Uh, huh?”
“What?”
Seon Ahyun was embarrassed, so he dropped the chicken he was eating.
I was a bit confused too.
‘That’s what I said when the main camera was gone and the only camera installed in the corner was turned around.’
I didn’t think it was going to be used on TV.
However, the camera was fixed, so it felt off record.

Thanks to that, the conversation sounded a little more sincere.
[D-Do you, r-really think that
 I can do well?]
[Why would I lie to you?]
[

!!]
With the touching editing added to it, it almost looked like a recruitment scene for a Shonen Manhwa colleague.
I got confused.
‘No, it’s good that they edited it well

 ’
It was a random choice considering my character that the producers have been building up since the first episode.
Did they decide to replace it because the spirit didn’t come out?
In the meantime, Park Moondae in the screen brought out ‘that line’ along with the wonderful BGM.
[Just think ‘I’m going to do this’.]
And the living room rang in reaction.
“Ooooh~”
“This
 You can do this?”
“Moondae-ssi, do you usually think like this, Kya~ Wise saying!”
Just
 let’s ignore it.
In the midst of ridicule, whether it was booing or admiration, the broadcast showed a short interview with Seon Ahyun.
[Seon Ahyun: T-T-Thank you very much
 
 .]
[Seon Ahyun: Working hard
 (I have to.) That’s what I thought. Do it. I had to do it.]
Even though Seon Ahyun’s mentality was a little weak, he was definitely loyal. I thanked him immediately.
“Thank you.”
“Uh, uh
 Oh no, thank you
 ”
“Oh, so heartwarming.”
“That’s right.”
While Seon Ahyun, who had been hijacked from the conversation, was even more embarrassed, the cut that showed Mudy’s advice finally appeared on the TV screen.
[Guys. You have to figure out the direction you want to head first.]
Yes, this was important.
