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

Chapter 213

The stage on set was styled after an open, circular staircase amphitheater that you might find in an American park.

In short, it was a 360-degree view, which meant that the audience would be watching from all directions.

'That must be a new experience.'

I sat in the waiting room, camera in hand, as the invited audience members arrived and were screened one by one, and I was handed an envelope.

The glittery envelope was flashy, matching the American sentiment.

Along with the English explanation of the artificial intelligence MC, an interpreter could be heard through the in-ear.

[What's in this envelope is the signature song, chosen by the participants!]

[Our KPOP mentor is going to learn all three of these songs in one hour].

[Let's see what happens!]

There was no need to look.

The producers had already told us which songs were going to be nominated.

'Of course, it wasn't just these three songs.'

About a dozen songs were submitted and it was promised that the songs within that would come out. Since they were pop songs, there might be some you didn't know at all.

And the three songs were probably chosen to have the contestants run around or pick a fight.

Mm, I think I could already see a contestant on the broadcast shouting, 'What I wanted is not this damn song!'

[Are you nervous?]

[Well, a little bit.]

After giving an obvious answer to an obvious question, I opened the envelope.

"Hmm."

Well, it was exactly as expected.

'I don't even need an hour.'

Let's relieve my fatigue from the airplane flight.

In the crowded set.

With wine and cosmetic bags in one hand (all of which were sponsored by T1), the audience crossed their arms and waited for the stage without much anticipation.

It was not a big-name show, and nothing was known about it other than it was a Netplus production.

[I heard they'll be singing.]

[I'd rather they did a magic show!]

The father and daughter shrugged and chatted.

Backstage, cameras were also rolling to capture the contestants listening to the buzzing of the audience.

At this 'Intro Stage' a total of eight people chose 'singing' as their talent to become a celebrity.

And the audience was given a button to press.

[When the audience presses the button, the lights flash on the spot!]

[They will press the button if they feel 'good'.]
