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

Chapter 191

When the reality show was planned, the concept was supposed to be simple traveling and healing.

The composition was rather obvious when the director's America fever was added with the parts where we were supposed to react to American culture.

'Only several fans would watch it and that's the end of it.'

An obvious outcome would emerge.

Popular idols can only remain a trending topic for so long if all the content that comes out is about healing.

That's why the reality show's production crew was also withering away. It seemed to be because they were already having fun coming up with provocative pictures to bully the cast.

Therefore, it was rather easy to bait them.

- Wouldn't it be more interesting if the program had some twists? Like having to earn your own travel expenses...

- That's quite good??

They were immediately hooked.

The director was already preoccupied with the prospective junior group, so the change was easily passed.

And the reality show producers, predictably, set out to reconstruct the concept of 'earning your own money to go have fun' in the most provocative way possible.

...I mean, I didn't expect to be bombarded with debt claims on the first day of filming.

"Ah~ I spent so much that day, it was really hard to recover the whole sum."

"You're right. I learned the importance of responsible consumption..."

"What did we eat back then? Was it lobster?"

"Lobster and king crab! It was so delicious!"

"Right, it sure was..."

Cha Yujin's cheerful remarks made some of the guys look solemn. And rightly so.

These producers made it an expensive course on purpose.

- No~ You guys can really go anywhere!

...While saying it like this.

All the members criticized that the nuance had sounded like, 'You can play to your heart's content on the first day so that it will motivate you to do your work harder to get back to playing again.'

So, on the first day, we went to see dolphins, ate lobster, and slept at a luxury resort in New Jersey's resort city, Cape May.

And this was the amount we were charged.

"But I didn't think they would charge us 4,000 dollars."

"I know right."

It was about 4.5 million Korean won.

Still, we would still be in debt if we hadn't gotten it down to 1,800 dollars by pleading and begging with the reasoning, 'Disregarding the fact that we played at the lodging, we still had to have a place to stay at.'

It was quite a shocking start, but in hindsight, it was certainly fun.

It's not like they really didn't have the money, so it wasn't particularly sadistic as it was just more about the betrayal and shock aspects of variety shows.

'The entire staff were laughing...'

I remember Bae Sejin looking at them with a face full of betrayal.
