Debut Or Die

Chapter 31

"Wow, they got 3rd place?"

"No, weren't they doing a great job?"

"In the first place, their ranking was the highest..."

"The reaction was crazy, too."

When we got third place, the other team participants around us talked about it.

Thank you, but in fact, I had predicted this situation since the moment they said each audience had two votes.

'The vote is to put us in check.'

If they came to the audience, it meant that most of them were heavy viewers who were pushing for certain participants.

The audience first chose the team that had their favorite participant.

And then they would have voted for the team with 'low rank and good skill'.

There was no way they would vote for this team that could end up as competitors for the participants they pushed for.

If you think about it that way, honestly, getting 3rd place was a good save.

Because it meant that in addition to the audition who came to watch this team, we were able to gain the votes of the people who just came to watch.

However, the team members seemed to be quite shocked.

"...Thank you!"

Ryu Chungwoo, who answered a beat late, bowed vigorously.

The team members tried hard to copy his move, but it was clear that they were trying to look calm.

"Thank you."

I bowed my head, too.

The announcement of the first and second places was also postponed to the ranking announcement ceremony. Among them, there was the 'similar to the first match' team collected by Choi Wongil.

"Then, shareholders! <Re-listed! Idol Inc.> We'll see you again at the ranking announcement ceremony with the announcement of the 1st place in the team match!"

After the MC's closing remarks, Choi Wongil seemed to glance at this side with a triumphant look.

'Are you an idiot...'

He's always like that.

Is it because he hasn't seen the spicy taste of editing yet?

Anyway, this team was too out of mind to notice that. One by one, Ryu Chungwoo patted the shoulders of the team members who were applauding in a depressed state.

"Great job. It must have been cool because we did our best. Don't worry."

"Yes..."

"Yes, we did a good job!"

Well, as Cha Eugene said, we certainly did well on stage.

So if we got a sympathy vote for this, we wouldn't be criticized.

In any case, no one in this team would be eliminated from the next ranking announcement, which was the best result.

The problem was the editing, but unless there was another editing where they only highlighted Ryu Chungwoo and blackened everyone else, it would be fine. Since the performance came out well.

Everyone already had a fandom, so any bad news would be wiped out in public opinion battles.

Kim Raebin, who was ruined in the first team match broadcast, but settled in the rankings through persistent public opinion battles by fans, was an example.
