The dedicated AG fan arrived in Sangam just in time for the pre-recording attendance check.With the SNS username of ‘AG Trading Company’, the fan groaned while patting her back.
“Ugh, seriously….”
‘That damn team leader. Why give me a task due by 8 AM just two hours before I leave work!?’
She had specifically asked for important tasks to be communicated earlier since she had plans early the next morning!
Thanks to that, she had to rush through overtime until 11 PM, then barely had time to wash up at home before sprinting to the broadcasting station.
Her overworked body screamed, ‘Mistress, we’re gonna die at this rate!’
‘I know. I know this is going to kill me early. But what choice do I have? Today….’
As she gritted her teeth, she spotted a sign held by a broadcasting staff member in the distance.
<Music Days Idol Survival ‘Targeting Star’ Audience Check-in>
Yes.
‘This face is practicing in AG’s basement? Are you kidding me!?’
She had been a fan of Lady Swan, an idol group that flopped under AG, but as soon as she saw one photo of trainee Son Jae Ha, she felt divinely inspired to support his debut.
Today was the first audience recording of <Targeting Star>, featuring Son Jae Ha.
‘It was a lot of trouble in many ways.’
I really want to meet our August trainees who are working hard for their dreams ‘-’ #ShootForTheStars_TargetingStats_AudienceApplication
I want to see the trainees getting closer to their dream of debuting! #ShootForTheStars_TargetingStats_AudienceApplication
Please just let me go, you crazy people, seriously stop messing around #ShootForTheStars_TargetingStats_AudienceApplication
She had created 34 SNS accounts just to increase her chances of being selected for the audience. She had posted exactly 210 comments on YouTube. Days spent battling with other hardcore idol survival show fans.
– [Web Notification] Music Days Idol Survival ‘Targeting Star’ Audience Invitation
“YAAAHHHH! I WON! I GOT IN!”
“There’s a complaint from the neighbors, you crazy girl! Stop screaming!”
The scream she let out when the notification email arrived probably hit a solid 80 decibels. She couldn’t count how many times her roommate smacked her on the back for being so loud.
“Okay, <Targeting Star> audience, please move along!”
She quickly joined the end of the audience check-in line with a satisfied smile.
She couldn’t get in the front row because she got her waiting ticket late after overtime, but there weren’t that many people, so she was sure she’d get a good look at her Son Jae Ha.
‘And if what I heard on SNS is true….’
Hundreds of people followed the staff holding the sign, and where they finally stopped walking was:
[Targeting Star Trainee High Touch Event]
‘Yes, that’s crazy! This is it!’
Before the audience entered, there was a light high-touch event with the trainees.
They called it a high-touch event, but it was really a chance to see the trainees’ faces up close and have brief interactions.
There was speculation that the judges and Do Jae Chan only appeared at the press conference earlier in the day because of this event, and it turned out to be true.
“Oh my gosh, amazing.”
“No way. That blond one is Ji Hwa Sung, right? Wow, crazy….”
“Joo An! Joo An, it’s your noona!”
Amid the audience’s excited murmurs, AG Corporation quickly identified the man standing at the very front.
“Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you!”
Jet-black eyes, porcelain-white skin.
A soft and tidy trainee who looked like he could have just opened his eyes in a lush green forest.
Son Jae Ha.
‘Oh my gosh, it’s really Jae Ha, alive and moving….’
To her, only Son Jae Ha existed.
Putting aside his overwhelmingly handsome face compared to the other trainees, she had heard through the AG fandom grapevine about all the hardships he endured, being called the ace of AG male trainees.
‘What should I say? Should I tell him I’ll keep supporting him? Should I say I hope he debuts with <Targeting Star> this time? Won’t he feel pressured if I say I’ve been waiting just to see him on stage? Oh my gosh, I’m freaking out!’
“Please greet the trainees in order and move along! No pushing!”
People at the front of the line started the high-touch event with the trainees, rapidly spouting whatever words came to mind or what they had prepared in advance.
The words the more well-known trainees heard were almost like marriage proposals.
“Si Woo, I’ve been supporting you since you were first revealed to the public. Let’s debut for real!”
“Won Hyeop oppa, this time we’ll really make it. …I’ll always support you, no matter where you are.”
“Liu Wei, this! This! I wrote it in Chinese! Please read it later!”
The line quickly shortened. People greeted the trainees they wanted to and only gave cursory remarks to others.
“I-I’ll work hard, Ryota here….”
“I’m Ji Hwa Sung. Enjoy today’s stage, we prepared really hard!”
Quick-witted trainees swiftly did their PR, and some audience members got swept up in the atmosphere.
“Ji Hwa Sung is cute. He’s tall, and I love his blond hair….”
“I liked Logan. Using ‘posh’ really suits him.”
‘But in my heart, it’s only Jae Ha. Even though Jae Ha will debut with five others… As long as it’s with AG purebloods, I don’t care who!’
When it was finally AG Corporation’s turn, she was face to face with Son Jae Ha, the one she had been waiting for.
“It must have been tough coming all the way to Sangam. I’m Son Jae Ha.”
“Oh, my….”
‘Oh my god, he’s so handsome! Even his voice is ridiculously handsome!’
AG Corporation’s mind went blank as she was attacked by Son Jae-ha’s stunning good looks, making her squeeze her eyes shut momentarily. Then, remembering that she had limited time, she quickly started thinking.
‘Okay, the first thing I need to say is….’
“J-Jae Ha, you….”
“Yes?”
“You’re the most handsome guy I’ve ever seen.”
Once she started, there was no stopping her.
“Among idols, trainees, actors, you’re the best-looking. With that face, you could just lie on the street and breathe, and you’d still debut. But on the AG Hopeful Channel videos, you also sing and dance so well, and I love it. If you don’t debut, I’ll report ‘Targeting Star’ for fraud to the Fair Trade Commission. You’re, you’re really….”
