IDOL LIFE THAT STARTS WITH MILITARY WRITING

Episode 40

[The trainees' rankings will be revealed shortly]
Kim So-young stared at the words written at the top of the screen and waited for the advertisement to end.

The commercial break, which felt like it was three times longer than usual, finally ended.

in the end.

[We will now begin the second ranking announcement ceremony for 'National Idol Season 2'.]
The ranking announcement ceremony has begun.

-Start!!!

-'Breaking News' ranking announcement ceremony begins. 14th place Sunwoo Rin

└Don't lie, it just started ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-You really started? You're not lying, are you?

-Look at the kids' frozen expressions... I'm shaking too ㄷㄷ

└I guess it's real this time? I'm going to go see it right away!!

“Lina, this time you definitely get first place… Oh, no.”

Kim So-young was writing a comment, but then closed the window without pressing the register button.

Kim So-young has always thought of her mother, who would not watch the games because she thought that her country would lose if she watched them, whenever there was an international competition like the Olympics or the World Cup.

At the time, I didn’t understand my mother’s feelings…

“Somehow, I think I know how Mom feels.”

Somehow, I have a feeling that if I desperately hope that Seonwoo Rin will get first place, he won't be able to get first place.

That doesn't mean I won't see you at all like my mom.

[First of all, before the ranking announcement, please give each other a round of applause for the trainees who have successfully completed the 2nd and 3rd rounds.]
The expressions of the trainees who were trembling with tension eased a little at Leah's words.

The screen captured Sim Seong-ha and Baek Si-hyeon clapping their hands with faces deep in thought, and Park Han-hwi and Woo Jung-woo joking with each other.

“Where is Lin?”

The moment Kim So-young was looking at the other trainees and looking for Sunwoo Rin, Sunwoo Rin's appearance was caught on the screen.

“Hehe, these are the first stage members.”

Seon Woo-rin was sitting in the front row with brothers Bu Ji-seok and Bu Ji-hoon, and Kang Ah-jin.

The screen showed Bu Ji-seok and Bu Ji-hoon grabbing Sun Woo-rin's shoulders and shaking them excitedly, along with a close-up of Sun Woo-rin's face, clearly showing a tired look.

[However, only 15 people can make it to the final round. Out of the 40 trainees here, 25 people cannot stand on the final round stage.]

The smiles disappeared from the trainees' faces at Leah's words that followed.

A situation where more than half of the people here are eliminated.

The camera zoomed in on the stage, which was now 15 chairs deep, much smaller than the original 77.

And the chair that Eugene Kim sat in during the first ranking announcement ceremony, the chair that was placed at the very top of all the chairs, was shown on the screen.

[We will reveal the results of the benefits you received based on the results of the 2nd and 3rd competitions.

The team that won first place in the 2nd competition and the team that won first place in the 3rd competition will each receive a benefit of 30,000 votes.]
