-Trait Rival is activated. (Target - Eugene Kim)

When you achieve a higher rank (grade) than Eugene Kim, your charm ability increases by 1 level.

A condition has emerged that makes you wonder if it can be achieved.

After the last ratings evaluation, I did some research on some of the more famous contestants.

Especially Eugene Kim.

He was a much greater person than I thought, to the point where it was strange that I didn't know about him.

After coming in second place in an American audition, he successfully charted on the Billboard album chart with his first single album, which he wrote and composed entirely himself.

Although he didn't make it onto the Hot 100, he was already a rising star whose musicality was recognized.

After releasing the album, he took a break for a while and his current status was unknown.

'I never thought I'd come to a Korean audition to become an idol.'

I don't know what kind of persuasion the National Idol production team used, but just having Eugene Kim appear will be a huge help in increasing the popularity of the program.

If the production team had their mind set on it, they wouldn't have used up a good piece like Eugene Kim and thrown it away.

Wouldn't Eugene Kim be overwhelming in the early ranking battle?

I even got the feeling that maybe the X-rating was created to tell the story of Eugene Kim's growth.

I don't know what role I will play in that growth narrative.

'There's nothing to lose by sticking around.'

Just sticking close to each other would definitely be beneficial in terms of broadcasting time. Since they would be sharing a room with the same class, even if it was just a passing cut, they would probably get a few.

'Let's not get strangely linked with the villain.'

So far, there has been no sign of that, but if the broadcasting station guys decide to edit it, you never know what might happen.

I decided to be careful about every word I said during the interview, and I moved to the X-rated room at the writer's instructions to pack my bags before the orientation.

When I entered the room, four trainees other than me were already there.

The room seemed to accommodate six people, with six beds and lockers.

There are five of us, so we have one empty seat. Of course, it's better than having it full.

however.

The four of them still hadn't unpacked their luggage and were just staring blankly at each other.

No, to be exact, the two of them seemed completely uninterested in the situation. The other two were fidgeting with expressions that said, 'I have to do something, but what should I do?'

Normally, I would have been the first to step forward and direct the traffic since I am the type of person who cannot stand being frustrated.

Now, I think that every single thing I do could be broadcast, so I've become more careful about my actions than usual.

"Is everyone in Class X here? The entrance ceremony will be held in the auditorium in an hour, so you can unpack and rest before then and then come down."

Luckily, the writer came and told me what to do.

Now, all we have to do is find a seat and unpack our bags.
