RAP STAR

Chapter 127 [verse 22. Orbit Correction]

The final round shoot of Hip Hop The Vibe, which would be the last episode of Episode 1, proceeded as usual.

The cast gathered at the studio, watched the footage of the third round broadcast, reacted to it, conducted necessary interviews, and expressed their determination for today's shoot.

The only difference from usual was the sparse feeling due to only 8 members of 888 Crew and 5 members of Stars Records remaining, and the 888 Crew and Stars Records, who always sat closely together, were sitting far apart.

"Hey, did you guys watch the cable channel awards ceremony?"

Even during breaks, they chatted closely as usual.

"I didn't watch it, but I saw it in the news."

"Producer Huh Tae-jin must be in high spirits."

At the 'Unified Korean Cable Channel Awards,' Hip Hop The Vibe received the Trend Maker Program Award. It was a completely unexpected award, considering they had only aired three episodes.

During his acceptance speech, Producer Huh Tae-jin expressed his gratitude to the cast, including the 888 Crew.

The studio shoot, which started at 11 a.m., was almost over by the time it passed 3 p.m.

At that moment, Producer Huh Tae-jin, who hadn't been seen since the beginning of the shoot, entered the studio.

With applause and whistles from Park In-hyuk, the cast congratulated him.

"Oh, thank you. It's all thanks to you guys."

"Won't you join us for a drink?"

"Just one drink? Let's go have beef after today's shoot. Of course, underage folks can't drink."

Producer Huh Tae-jin's expression while joking with the cast seemed bright, but strangely, it didn't seem entirely refreshing.

"What's wrong?" Kim Hwan asked, and Huh Tae-jin opened up.

"Can you tell? It's nothing major... Actually, the broadcast time was suddenly extended. It's something that comes with popularity, but with only two teams left, filling 100 minutes is a bit worrying."

"It's extended by 20 minutes?"

"Still, today's shoot format will proceed as scheduled. Just like last week, we can't change the format abruptly. The broadcast time is the responsibility of the editing team, so don't worry."

Originally, Hip Hop The Vibe's broadcast time was 80 minutes. It was only extended to 100 minutes for the first round when they had to showcase the charms of four teams.

However, due to a sudden directive from the higher-ups, the broadcast time was extended to 100 minutes, and filling that time effectively became the responsibility of Producer Huh Tae-jin and the editing team.

There's a saying in the broadcasting industry, 'Five minutes of boring content eats away at 5% of the ratings.' So, 20 minutes is a really long time.

"Now that you've brought it up, can I ask if you have any ideas? Oh, don't feel pressured, just speak comfortably."

As soon as Producer Huh Tae-jin finished speaking, Sang-mi said, "How about showing glimpses of the silhouette, back, or rapping voice of the cast appearing in Episode 2? It might be fun."

Currently, information about the cast appearing in Episode 2 of Hip Hop The Vibe was strictly confidential. Although the casting was done a while ago, it was still unclear who they were. Among the underground teams, Playline was the most likely candidate.
