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

Chapter 160

It was almost like a national rule for the winner of the previous season to appear in the audition program.

In particular, TeStar was a living witness to the success of <IdolCo>, so even I would have asked for TeStar's appearance no matter what if I was a member of the production crew.

And since our current agency was also affiliated with T1, it was obviously impossible to refuse.

"Guys, think about it. Wouldn't it be cool? It's like the appearance of the champions!"

"Oh~"

Keun Sejin chuckled at the manager's words. He seemed to want to tell the manager to stop talking bullshit but was holding back.

"Has everything been already discussed about us appearing?"

"Well, it kind of seems to be the case. Since you guys are in the same company, they thought the loyalty should be kept."

They wanted to talk about loyalty now.

'Half of the guys here have been smashed with evil editing more than once.'

Whether everyone had similar thoughts or not, some of them looked like they thought of this as ridiculous and smiled bitterly.

However, Cha Yujin raised his hand with a face that looked like he was thinking deeply about something.

"Hyung-nim! Is it for girls this time?"

"Huh? Ah, you mean the participants?"

"Yes!"

"That's right. They're girls!"

"Oh."

Cha Yujin spoke with a serious expression.

"Some of my fans consider me their boyfriend. I don't want to do this!"

"Puh-huck!"

I heard Seon Ahyun choking.

"Hey~ You just have to be careful~ It's not like you're going to date them!"

"If I meet a nice person, dating is natural! You never know your feelings!" //TN: He said 'natural' in English.

"All you have to do is say something cool on set and then come back. There wouldn't be a chance for things to go that far, Yujin-ah!"

That was true.

'I don't think they're going to have us be particularly involved on-screen.'

T1 wouldn't want to cut the stomach of the golden egg-laying goose that was TeStar. They would not unnecessarily damage TeStar's brand image.

However, there was a chance the participants themselves would be misunderstood because of the editing.

'Participants neglecting practice because they are distracted by the appearance of a popular idol...'

That was a very familiar arrangement. It evoked nostalgia even.

Being involved in those kinds of things was just tiring. And that was not the only risk factor.

'I think these bastards are planning something useless.'

Since the season three we did was so successful, there would obviously be various forces clung to this in season four to control it.

Looking at the time gap alone, it wouldn't be weird if they already started it last year since it was unusual how there was a year-long delay.

'The probability of controversy spiked up to 100%.'
