In short, a person who can distinguish well between work and personal matters.

I don’t know about others, but if I were asked to choose the person who suits the ‘occupation’ of an idol best, I would immediately choose him.

Of course, there are times when he would get out of control and lose his temper, but I knew it stemmed from wanting to do well.

If there are no incidents, there won’t be a need to reveal that personality.

“Now, everyone has probably looked at the choreography and lyrics once. Shall we try dividing our parts?”

As I was reminiscing, Ji Hwa Sung confidently drew lines for his rap part, speaking with confidence.

“As you all know, I want to rap. There aren’t many people who do rap among us… If it’s okay, I’d like to take this part from here to here.”

Upon saying that, Gao Yan raised his hand with a serious expression.

“I’d like to do the back doubling and subs at the back.”

“Oh, doubles? Well, I’ll check that off the list.”

Starting with Gao Yan’s words, one by one, they raised their hands and talked about the parts they wanted.

Seo Bin wanted the introduction, and 2 stanza bridge; Logan, the 2 stanza verse.

I said I didn’t mind anywhere as long as I could take the center of the dance break, and most members who remembered my first stage agreed.

Well, ‘most.’

Lee Hyeon Jeong tapped the questionnaire with the pen she held, smiling contentedly.

“Trainee Kim Joo An.”

When someone asked what is essential for a successful idol survival, I knew how to answer now.

That is…

“I heard there were some issues during the part distribution.”

Conflict.

“Uh, well, it’s just that…”

Already having poured out a lot, Kim Joo An, with teary eyes, bowed deeply again before carefully choosing his words.

Despite being a somewhat pitiful behavior for a typical 20-year-old man, it surprisingly suited Kim Jooan’s cute appearance, and made him look much younger than he actually was.

“I just thought, you know, that there should be fair opportunities for all trainees, so I brought it up.”

Gao Yan responded with an incredulous expression.

“That guy caused a scene.”

“…Caused a scene? Trainee Gao Yan, who taught you such words?”

Even as Hyeon Jeong’s eyes widened, Gao Yan continued to play with his words without a break.

“Yeah, caused a scene. Gao Yan learned it himself. He used a Korean translation tool to understand the sentence ’caused a scene.’ Kim Joo An just blindly said he wanted to be the dance break center.”

Seo Bin wore a slightly tired expression.

“And this is our original song. You want a lot of parts? I get it. But not saying a word until then, it was a bit, shall we say, surprising.”

“Trainee Kim Jooan said other team members didn’t listen to him?”

“Huh? Us? Um… Was it just a dream?”

Ji Hwa Sung ran his hands through his bright yellow hair, speaking with an animated voice.

“Yeah, well, he just blindly said he wanted to do the dance break… but we can’t just give it to him. Kim Chunyong hyung said if you can do the dance break, you can have a bit less vocal part, but Kim Joo An wasn’t like that. He just didn’t have any opinions at all.”

“A small disagreement due to a lack of communication. Could it be resolved with compromise?”

“Oh, that’s not it. The solution to this is a bit different… Well, I guess it’s okay to talk about it.”

Logan made a gesture with his hand as if something exploded. With a pretty excited expression.

“Wow, but Chunyong hyung is there. It’s not like we separately talked about it, just…”

“Trainee Logan. Sorry, but can you speak in Korean?”

“Oops. Oh, so, how should I say this? Chunyong hyung just showed us.”

Joo PD, who had been eagerly watching next to Lee Hyeon Jeong, scribbled something in his sketchbook and prompted the trainee being interviewed.

[Explain more specifically]

Sighing heavily at his aggressiveness, Kim Chunyong scratched the back of my head and opened his mouth cautiously.

“I don’t know how this is going to sound… but I, uh, tend to pick up choreography pretty quickly.”

“So?”

“Joo An wants to be the dance break center, but since he hasn’t learned the choreography yet…”

I already did there.

“I told him….”

At Kim Chunyong’s words, the PD clapped vigorously in the air. His mouth kept repeating the same words without a break.

“100 points! 100 points!”
