Chapter 17

“How is it, have you all practiced a lot?”

“I did my best!”

“Yeah, judging by the dark circles under your eyes, it looks like you didn’t get any sleep. It’s important to take care of your condition, so don’t overdo it.”

"yes!"

While Baek Kang-woo greeted the trainees, Baek Chae-hyun organized the data on her clipboard.

She was flipping through profiles without thinking, and when she happened to see a photo of Karis von Walden, her heart started pounding without warning.

'Wake up, he isn't a webtoon character; he is a real person, a human! And a trainee at that!'

She never imagined that she would ever meet someone in her life who had the exact same vibe as her favorite character.

One of the people gathered for the midterm evaluation was giving Ashley looks that could put her to shame.

Baek Chae-hyun took a deep breath and calmed her mind.

“Then, <Lock Down> team, let’s take a look at the progress.”

The first round is held live in front of 300 national managers.

On the fourth day of practice, the judges conduct a mid-term check-up to ensure that the trainees are fully prepared.

A special chance to see the vocalist and dancer pair up to watch the entire stage and then receive one-on-one guidance on any areas they are lacking.

<Lock Down> is a hit song that has a strong scent of the original singer, the Perish Boyz.

How well you capture that feeling will be the main point.

“Then which team will go first? Should we start with Blue, who is in the front?”

“Ye, yes!”

The Blue Team, who had stepped into the middle of the practice room, were quite stiff.

Baek Chae-hyun looked at the members' training suits.

Seeing so many blacks and browns, she can understand why they seem to lack confidence.

'They are feeling a little intimidated because they know that their ranks are lower.'

A twist can always happen, so she hopes they don't get nervous and show it properly.

But it went too cliche.

“Honestly, I don’t think it’s time to talk about dancing right now. First of all, it seems like the basic posture isn’t right. Don’t you all know what song this is?”

"Yes……."

“If all six members are just showing their powerless expressions when confidence is supposed to be their main weapon, will the flavor of <Lock Down> that we know still be alive? Of course not. If that’s the case, then you've buttoned it up wrong from the beginning. Even before considering vocals or dancing.”

When it came to harsh criticism, it was Bae Kang-woo who volunteered to draw his sword first.

In fact, it wasn't even a harsh criticism because it was an obvious flaw that anyone could see.

The parts that were pointed out in the vocals were also similar.

“You're not good at vocalizing, but I think you need to start over by memorizing the lyrics, guys. If you keep doing this, you’re going to be in big trouble. Seriously.”
