In order to choose his team, Ji Hwa Sung stood beside two others, next to Choi Gaon, and had to do his best to manage his expression. He had to make sure his inner thoughts didn’t show.
‘This is bullsh*t.’
It would be a big problem if it was revealed.
He was just happy to be one of the top three with Jae Ha hyung, but who could have expected such trolling from the broadcasting station?
“They pick one by one according to the score order? Whoever they want?”
Of course, it was as the main PD wanted.
Ji Hwa Sung’s total score was 308 points, placing him third.
He was the last among the three.
That meant the two in front would have the first pick for members.
“Trainee Son Jae Ha chose Trainee Jang Siwoo, ranked 5th, first. Now, Trainee Liu Wei chose Trainee Ahn Jin Woo, ranked 4th. Now, only Trainee Ji Hwa Sung’s choice is left. Who will he pick?!”
As Choi Gaon continued, Ji Hwa Sung’s forehead twitched as he laughed at Choi Gaon’s proceedings.
“Ah, this is really pissing me off. This means everyone else will be picked before I get to pick them.”
Ji Hwa Sung’s gaze, believing and following his hyung Son Jae Ha, turned towards him.
“If only I had gotten 4th or 5th place, Jae Ha hyung would have chosen me.”
Sensing the gaze, Son Jae Ha smiled at Ji Hwa Sung and gestured with his mouth to ‘smile.’
Seeing his reliable and affectionate face, Ji Hwa Sung regained his composure and relaxed his shoulders.
Ah, I came here to debut.
No matter what, he had to overcome this hurdle so that he could debut with his favorite hyung, Jae Ha.
Ji Hwa Sung regained composure and began to think.
“I have to choose carefully. In a direction that minimizes losses.”
Now, the only remaining AG trainee was AG Global trainee, Li Ming Shen.
However, there was hardly any interaction between Li Ming Shen and Ji Hwa Sung. They didn’t communicate well with AG Global trainees in the first place.
It’s safe to say that they have little desire to learn Korean.
Objectively, it wouldn’t do them any good.
‘Then the person I should choose is….’
Having made up his mind, Ji Hwa Sung gritted his teeth secretly and put on a cheerful voice.
“Oh! I’ve already decided who to pick from the beginning.”
“Oh, what if you give us a hint before revealing who it is?”
“Well, it’s the one who received the most unique evaluation among us 18 trainees.”
Choi Gaon’s eyes twinkled at Ji Hwa Sung’s candy-coated words.
Someone with a unique evaluation.
If there was such a thing as a unique evaluation in Idol Survival, which was second to none, there was definitely someone like that among the 18 people here.
“If Trainee Ji Hwa Sung is okay with it, can I go ahead and call out the person’s name?”
“Oh, yes. Of course! But what if you’re wrong?”
“Haha, that will never happen. So, here we go—”
With great excitement, Choi Gaon loudly called out the person’s name.
Min Si Young’s zero points and….
“Sixth place’s-.”
Jin Dasol’s 100 points.
“Trainee Kim Chunyong, please come forward!”
Kim Chunyong.
* * *
Team leader Ji Hwa Sung had left the practice room for a while to prepare something.
I examined the faces of the final team members and felt a strange déjà vu.
“…Shall we introduce ourselves lightly while waiting for the leader? My name is Kim Chunyong, and I’m 20 years old.”
Why…
“Chunyong hyung, I’ll go next.”
“Oh, then, after Gao Yan, it’s my turn. I’m ready.”
Does this sound familiar?
“Haha….”
Watching the British guy enthusiastically introducing himself with both hands clasped in front of him, I burst into a laugh.
Coincidence or destiny.
I ended up sharing a team with multinational flatmates named Logan and Gao Yan.
Three out of four became a team. Is this even allowed?
It feels like a trick by the production team.
Of course, there was another side to the story that refuted my opinion.
“I’m Seo Bin. Last name Seo, first name Bin. I’m 20 years old… I’ll do my best, absolutely.”
Here’s Seo Bin with a big smile on his face.
He was a trainee from another agency, and he was nervous in front of the judges who were too famous, but he did so well on stage that he was rejected from “Targeting Star” and made his solo debut.
He has his own style.
“Hey, Rex. I want to talk to you because we survived together… You drank so much that you almost got a real disease. Do you know it was just 5 minutes before the live broadcast?”
Coming from me, who made a name as a malicious member, you can trust me when I say to never drink alcohol.
“Oh, then you and Chunyong hyung are the same age.”
“Hmm? That’s right.”
“Then, it’s hyung. Nice to meet you, Bin hyung.”
“Bi-bin hyung…?”
“Your name is Bin. If you add ‘hyung’ to Bin, it becomes Bin hyung.”
“Uh, just call me Seo Bin hyung. It sounds a bit strange.”
“What? I thought you said that in Korea, if you call someone by both their last name and first name, it’s considered rude. I’ll call you Bin hyung too.”
“No, you don’t have to do that!”
Besides, he seems like a nice guy, judging by how well he gets along with those multinationals.
After rolling between Gao Yan and Logan for a while, Seo Bin, who seemed to recall, came to me and greeted me again.
“Um, hello. Chunyong-i… or Chunyong. Since we’re the same age, can I speak informally?”
I patted Seo Bin’s shoulder and replied with a bright smile.
“Of course. Let’s do well together this time, Bin.”
