Just before the street dance battle was about to begin.
“Are you sure this is okay? Honestly, I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
IlRic crew member Lee Hwe Jin finally spoke up, unable to hold back any longer.
This whole situation was spiraling out of control, with one rash decision following another.
Challenging people from the broadcast industry and trying to humiliate a trainee on a national show? It was reckless, especially when they couldn’t be certain about the future of their dance crew.
“Look, it’s still not too late, hyung. We could just show some sportsmanship, offer to move our performance somewhere else, and maybe get them to help with some promo. Wouldn’t that be better? Seriously, this feels all wrong…”
Despite Hwe Jin’s concerned plea, Choi Gun Young just hummed a tune, his face plastered with arrogant confidence.
“Hey, don’t worry. I’ve got this. I’m definitely going to win. Why should we move? Just warm up for the performance after I rip this apart. Relax, I’ve got it under control.”
‘He’s our leader, but wow, what an idiot. There’s no denying it anymore. His confidence comes from that empty head of his…!’
Hwe Jin thought, barely able to hold back a sigh.
Of course, having trained and performed alongside Gun Young for three years now, Hwe Jin was well aware of his hyung’s deep admiration and respect for Jin Dasol.

“What…? Jin Dasol-nim is going to be on TV?”
“Oh. If that’s true, we should tell Gun Young hyung…”
“No! Don’t you dare! He’ll lose it and break the studio TV! Do you want to deal with that?!”
Hwe Jin had known about Jin Dasol’s role as a judge on Targeting Star from the start.
But he had deliberately kept that information from Gun Young, who avoided social media.
“I-I want to dance like that too. No, scratch that! I want to dance *with* him! Lee Hwe Jin, you should join me too. I’m telling you, we’d make an absolutely insane combo.”
“I… I mean, I want to, sure. But is just wanting it enough? Hyung, come on. Think about it for a second…”
“What do you mean it’s not enough, you idiot? We just have to get better, that’s it. After that… well, we’ll camp out in front of Dasol hyung’s studio on our knees if we have to.”
“And if he still doesn’t let us in…?”
“Then we’ll stay there until he does!”
This was the way Choi Gun Young operated—charging forward without any thought for what lay behind. This left even Hwe Jin uncertain about what his hyung might do next.
‘To think we’re in a situation where we’re actually facing off against the people from that broadcast… What are the odds?’
Lee Hwe Jin’s thoughts were swirling, watching from the sidelines as Kim Chunyong, the trainee warming up nearby, caught his eye.
‘Kim Chunyong… That’s his name, right?’
Earlier, their crew’s youngest had mentioned that he’d seen Targeting Star and that this trainee had been personally invited by Jin Dasol to join his crew—a recognition of considerable talent.
