IDOL LIFE THAT STARTS WITH MILITARY WRITING

Episode 47

Eugene Kim's shocking Billboard #1 announcement.

While everyone was in shock, the first to react was Leah, who has 15 years of broadcasting experience.

“Trainee Eugene Kim’s determination is truly amazing. Not as a representative judge for a national idol group, but as a singer, Lia, I will support trainee Eugene Kim’s dream!”

An explosive response erupted from the audience, which had been silent at Leah's words.

Gyaaaaaaah!-

Eugene-

Awesome!!!-

Actually, it's an absurd statement for a trainee who's about to debut on an audition show to make.

If it's Eugene Kim, somehow... I feel like she would really do it.

Now, for a member of a debuting idol group, he has such a fraudulent resume and abilities that it felt too sincere to just dismiss it as a passing remark.

After Eugene Kim's remarks that raised expectations to such a high, the next question came back to me.

“Trainee Seonwoorin. How are you feeling right now?”

“First of all, I’m nervous… hahaha I didn’t think I’d be nervous, but now that I’m standing here, I can feel my heart pounding.”

“It’s surprising that he doesn’t seem to be nervous at all on the outside.”

It started with a simple question.

Leah nodded to my answer and then asked the next question with shining eyes.

“Trainee Seonwoo Rin went from being a regular contestant with no experience as a trainee to now being nominated for first place in the final round. Up until now, second place was his best result. How is it possible to get first place today? Is that possible?”

1st place.

It was actually a question I had expected, but the words I had prepared did not come out easily.

I took a deep breath and answered with a smile.

“Just being able to stand here with Eugene right now feels like a dream. I sincerely thank the fans who helped me, despite my shortcomings, to get to this point.”

-Brother, this isn't fun.

-Yeah, this is the standard.

I responded with a smile to Eugene Kim, who was looking at me with cold eyes.

-…

Aren't you controlling your facial expressions? That expression on your face... is all captured on the screen right now...?

“Trainee Seonwoo Rin, you usually show off your confidence. But today, perhaps because it’s the finals, you look more nervous than usual.”

If Leah's words, spoken with a smile, sounded to me like, 'Why are you acting so unusually polite?', did I hear it wrong?

The last question was thrown at me with Leah's pressing gaze.

“Now then, trainee Sunwoo Rin, before the announcement of the first place winner, is there anything you would like to say as a final remark?”

My first thought was, why don't they just quickly announce the number one winner?

Saying that, I've been through too much up until now to cause a legendary broadcasting accident.

“As Eugene mentioned earlier, reaching number one on Billboard was so shocking that I thought a lot about what to say.”

I could see the fans in front of the stage bursting into laughter at my words.
