Top Idol, Anyway (PART 1)

Chapter 45

Yi Chan

Starting with M-start on Thursday, the final stage of L.I.T's album activities was announced.

In the midst of this, TVH notified that they would promote the broadcast of <The One>, which is coming up in the next 10 days, through the M-start stage.

For that reason, the day before the broadcast on Thursday, we were called to the TVH M&E Center and had to prepare a special stage with Mute Seven and Mobius.

“A dance battle?”

The assistant director, who took the lead instead of PD Choi Chi-guk, said he came up with the idea after watching a video of L.I.T.'s fan meeting.

What would it be like if all 18 rookie idols sang together and had a dance break battle?

"I think it would be nice to sing a song under the title of Arche's 2nd regular album, <New moon>. It also coincides with Arche's comeback."

Writer Kang Ji-hoon carefully brought up the story.

"Of course, due to schedule issues, Arche won't be appearing on M-start tomorrow, but it's also a preview for the M-start comeback stage next week... Well, it's two birds with one stone."

It's ARCHE's <New Moon>.  It's a song I've never heard of, from a group I've never heard of.  However, excitement is evident on the faces of the other members except for me.

It wasn't just the L.I.T members.  Moebius and Mute Seven are the same.  Even that Kim Woo-young is so happy that he doesn't know what to do.

"Is this a famous group?"

I quietly asked Roa.

Then Roa replied as if it were absurd.

"Hyung. If you're a citizen of the Republic of Korea and don't know Arche, you're a spy."

I looked at Roa like that and shrugged my shoulders.

“It’s either one.  Whether I am not a citizen of the Republic of Korea or a spy."

Then, remembering that there was a problem with my memory, Roa continued with a sorry face.

“Arche is the best group in Korea in name and reality with a 6-year debut.  The year before last, that is, from the 4th year, all the year-end awards ceremonies were swept away, and now they are seniors who are also looking at the American awards ceremonies.  It's the best."

Indeed, it was a very mechanical briefing like Park Roa.

Seeing the blush on Roa's cheeks even after giving such a mechanical answer, it seems that this guy also yearns for those who are called Arche.

It was good to turn off the presence of the heart.  If the people around me have such facial expressions, if I activate the presence's heart, I may be distracted by the noise.

About ARCHE, let's learn about it later through learning the media, and first of all, we need to learn the song and choreography.  But this damn crew didn't even give me a chance to do that.

“First of all, everyone basically knows about their singing and dancing, right?”

no, how do you know that?  They are busy getting to know our songs and dances.

Just as I was about to answer Kang Ji-hoon's question that I didn't know, 17 people except me answered "Yes!"

“Then, let’s put our heads together to see how we can organize the stage well.”

When I saw the children moving in perfect order at the words of the assistant director, I felt a strange sense of discord.

What kind of group is ARCHE, that everyone is like this?
