Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.1

Chapter 51

'A participant that stood out.'

At any rate, since finishing filming with the participants of <IdolCo.> Chungryeo was skeptical about their long-term success.

Although the program's current top-ranking participants were doing well with the power of an entertaining survival program, the competitiveness of the idol industry would be another story when they actually debut.

'Maybe it's just that they're doing well within the program's story.'

After all, there were a lot of cases where people failed to get into the debut line-up inside of their own agency and went to participate in audition programs.

Chungryeo was going to continue talking about the lunch menu, but then he inadvertently mentioned the name of a participant that came to his mind.

"Park Moondae?"

"Oh, chicken feet guy?"

Chungryeo didn't laugh although he heard the younger member laughing.

"All the answers to his questionnaire matched with mine."

"Wow! Really? That's interesting... Is his personality similar to hyung's?"

"...To some extent."

"Huh, really?"

Chungryeo ignored the surprised dongsaeng and felt a little disappointed.

//TN: Dongsaeng: a younger brother or sister, or just someone younger than you

'It would be nice to have someone with that type of personality on the team.'

It was clear that Park Moondae thought the survey was stupid. It was evident that he had paid attention to the broadcast and deliberately chose neutral answers.

"Well, if he has a similar personality to hyung, he would be very... cold-hearted, right?"

"You mean realistic?"

"Th-that's right."

A type of person who did not immerse themselves in other people's circumstances and did not think unrealistically.

A person like this was more suited to working in general companies than becoming a celebrity.

In general, aspiring idols, especially the talented young ones, possessed all the strengths and weaknesses unique to the arts and physical education field. In a good or bad sense, it meant they were less cold-hearted. However, the reality, that these young ones would have to face, was an adult society dominated by the logic of capitalism.

"Well, it's nice to have someone like hyung as a leader."

"Is that so? Thanks."

Someone might think that he was full of himself, but he also agreed with the younger member.

Just like VTIC in which he was the leader. In that sense, Park Moondae was a pretty good candidate for the next debut group.

'If you do the job for a year, it'll be like dancing.'

//TN: I guess he means that the job will become easier.

And due to that nature, even if the other person was older, they had no choice but to give the authority to you, even if your years of experience were short. He was able to guarantee this because Chungryeo himself had experienced this.

'Then working together would be easier.'

This was good for both the team and the company.

However, just because VTIC re-signed with the company and received some shares, there was no need or room for them to pay more attention to the next male idol groups.
