episode_0041

As if I wasn’t the only one who noticed the identity of the sandwich provided to ppl, many participants soon looked at their sandwiches with wide eyes.

And soon… .

“Uh, sister. What is a sandwich?”

“What sandwich did you choose?”

He began to check who had chosen the same sandwich as him.

Han Si-woo looked at this from the podium on stage with a happy face and then picked up the microphone.

“Some people have already noticed. Yes, that’s right. In the first team competition, your team is the one who chose the same sandwich.”

“… … !!!”

Are the people who chose the same sandwich a team?

then… .

“Uh, sister! we… !”

“Yes, Yerin! Yoojeong! we… !”

Before I could even turn my head, Park Yoo-jung and Lee Hye-jung came over and grabbed both of my hands.

“Wow-!!! Long live the mackerel sandwich-!!!”

Then he screamed at me to leave the set.

“Mackerel sandwich is divine-!!”

In particular, Park Yoo-jung smiled twice as brightly as if she was so happy to be on the same team as me and Lee Hye-jung.

“Two, you two calm down first… .”

It seemed like it was too noisy so I tried to calm Park Yoo-jung and Lee Hye-jung down, but in reality, I felt like I was leaving too.

Hyejeong Lee and Yujeong Park.

Because they all have good stats and are close to me.

We will be able to get off to a good start in the first team competition, which is considered the most important.

‘Are you lucky?’

So we took a lap of Ganggangsullae and went out to check who the other team members were.

Of course, the first thing we checked was Yu Seol’s sandwich.

Since Yu Seol’s place was already full of people trying to check out what her sandwich was, we had no choice but to take a peek at her sandwich from afar.

“Seol-ah, are you a sandwich guy?”

“Ugh, I… .”

I looked at Yu Seol’s sandwich wrapper with eagle eyes.

And her sandwich… .

“Veggie Sandwich.”

… It was a veggie sandwich consisting only of vegetables.

‘A person like this who takes great care of himself… .’

How can you choose a sandwich with only vegetables… ?

After confirming that the sandwich was different from mine, I sighed half-relieved and half-sad.

If we were on the same team as Yu Seol… , even though the relationship was uncomfortable, the stage would have been successful.

‘It’s unfortunate, but… , are you okay.’

I put my regrets aside and set out to find other team members along with Lee Hye-jeong and Park Yoo-jeong.

“The person who chose the mackerel sandwich, please come here!”

Thanks to Park Yoo-jung, who has a good voice, we were able to quickly find our team members.

“Huh? It’s a mackerel sandwich!”

“Well, I too-!”

“Wow! Me too!”

2 people in C grade and 1 in D grade.

These weren’t bad items.

“So is this the end for our team?”

We had fewer team members compared to other places, perhaps because we had a lot of likes and dislikes about the mackerel sandwich.

A total of 6 people.

However, it was much better compared to the many low-level participants.

‘One person in grade A, two in grade B, two in grade C, and one in grade D… .’

The members are so good that they are too much.

Moreover, although the three new members of our team were not close, they were kind and gentle people.

They were also in the A grade and seemed to like being on the same team as me, the contestant who became a hot topic in episode 1.

“I guess the 6 of us ended up on the same team! and-! Please take care of everyone!”

As the good-natured Park Yoo-jung took the lead in telling the story, the atmosphere immediately became warm.

It’s a good start.

I am like this… , I thought that I would be able to successfully finish the first team competition with good team members.

chin.

… Until she appeared.

Tuk-tuk.

There was someone who tapped us as we formed a circle, thinking that the team had already ended with 6 people.

“Hmm… ? what… ?”

When I turned my head, I saw her frowning as if she was dissatisfied with something.

“… Eugene? why… .”

It was SAV Seo Yu-jin.

For your information, I couldn’t stop talking to Seo Yu-jin even though we had a face-to-face ceremony with the same A grade.

It wasn’t easy to become friends with a girl who constantly glared at me and kept me in check.

‘But why is he here… ? … no way?’

I looked at the sandwich wrapper in Seo Yu-jin’s hand while begging for no.

[Eurachacha Sandwich – Mackerel Sandwich]

… It was a mackerel sandwich.

“… I’m also on this team.”

“… … .”

“I also ate a mackerel sandwich.”

The wrapper of her mackerel sandwich was clean and free of any seasoning. I guess it was delicious.

‘It would be rude to sigh here… .’

The members were good so far, but suddenly a crooked pig joined in.

I felt like sighing at this, but I tried to greet Seo Yu-jin with an expression that said I was okay.

however… .

“… Eugene. Welcome… .”

Tingling.

“… … .”

As always, Seo Yu-jin rolled her eyes as soon as she saw me, as if she didn’t like me.

There is a saying that a single loach can cloud a puddle of water.

Growl-, growl, growl.

With the addition of a Chihuahua, the atmosphere in our team quickly became cold.

**

“Ham and egg sandwich! Come here!”

“Tuna mayo-!”

Not long after, each team revealed its outline.

Our mackerel sandwich team also had no more members after Seo Yu-jin.

A total of 7 people.

2 people in grade A, 2 people in grade B, 2 people in grade C, and 1 person in grade D.

‘Yes, this is above average.’

Although I am embarrassed by Seo Yu-jin’s addition, it does not change the fact that I like our Mackerel Sandwich team members.

no? Rather, if you look at the ratings alone, our team is overwhelmingly good.

Although Seo Yu-jin made a bad atmosphere, she is also an A grade graduate, a graduate of SAV, and is good at both dancing and singing.

‘Our team is definitely better than that one.’

That’s what I thought when I saw the Ham and Egg Sandwich team, who were literally on the verge of destruction.

1 grade C, 3 grade D, 2 grade E, 3 grade F.

Because this was the composition of the Ham and Egg Sandwich team.

It was a disaster that occurred because the team formation was decided at random.

They also had a gloomy expression as if they knew their fate.

The other teams didn’t look particularly threatening either.

Yu Seol’s team too… , Except for Yu Seol, there were no people who stood out.

‘I think this is the team with the best composition… .’

Just as I was thinking that, Han Si-woo continued the proceedings again.

“It looks like the team is now complete. How do you feel, everyone? Do you like your team?”

“… … .”

“Yes-!!”

Our mackerel sandwich team was the only one who shouted that they liked it.

Han Si-woo laughed once at Park Yoo-jeong, who shouted especially loudly, and then continued speaking.

“I’m glad you like it. I think there are some people who don’t like the team… , but you will still have to work hard. Through this first team contest… , many participants will fail.”

“… … !”

When the topic of elimination came up, the contestants raised their heads sensitively.

Thump thud-.

As the heavy music played, Han Si-woo continued speaking in a serious voice.

“If the team is ranked in the bottom 6 in total votes, all team members except the top 3 in individual votes will be eliminated.”

“… … !”

As soon as Han Si-woo finished speaking, I thought about what if our team ended up in the bottom 6 teams.

Seo Yu-jin and I are in grade A, so we will not be eliminated due to low individual votes.

but… .

Lee Hye-jung and Park Yoo-jung from Grade B.

The worst thing that could happen is that one of the two is eliminated.

‘I don’t like that… .’

I think we have to do our best to avoid being in the bottom 6 teams.

Noisy.

As it was expected that more people would be eliminated in the first team competition than expected, the participants began to get excited.

However, the next moment, Han Si-woo continued speaking and it became quiet again.

“Okay, now let’s start selecting songs.”

In team competitions, it can be considered the second most important thing after member selection… , song selection.

What process will lead to the selection of this song? .

“I said it earlier. Everything in this first team contest is decided by luck.”

“… … .”

“It’s the same this time too. Now, let’s look at the screen.”

Paaa-!

At the same time as Han Si-woo’s words, a large electronic display board turns on… .

Binggrrrr-.

A spinning wheel appeared on the screen.

“This cyber wheel contains a complete collection of idol hit songs from the past 5 years. You will be selected through this. Would you like me to show you as an example?”

Patter.

As soon as Han Si-woo’s comment ended, the production crew quickly installed a switch on the stage.

It was a red switch reminiscent of the 500 million year button I had seen in cartoons before.

As soon as Han Si-woo saw the production team’s sign that the installation was complete, he pressed the switch.

Then… .

Binggrrrr-.

The cyber wheel started spinning and soon stopped at a certain point.

[YW Entertainment]

The first thing that came out was the company name.

“Hmm… , Hehe, my former company, YW, came out. Anyway, when you first press the button, the company will appear like this. And when I press the button one more time… .”

Hold.

Binggrrrr-.

The electronic sign spun once more, but this time it stopped at the song.

[Really right now! – Wider]

“The song comes out like this. Each team must unconditionally perform the song they selected.”

okay… , pick a company first and one of that company’s hit songs will come out… , I immediately understood what the method was.

however… .

“… Why is that song playing?”

“… Wider is a guy.”

Wider is clearly a male idol, so why is that song coming out?

Siwoo Han must have heard the participants whispering and said with a smile.

“Oh, and as you may have noticed from what we just said, the wheel also includes male idol songs.”

“… … .”

“Then, shall we actually pick a song from now on? Please come forward as a representative from each team!”

If you represent here, you will definitely receive more camera cuts.

“Who… , do you want to go out?”

Accordingly, our team also started talking in an awkward atmosphere.

Of course, I want to run as a representative.

But if I raised my hand and said I would leave right away, I would feel a bit like a snob… .

“Me! I want to go out!”

… Seo Yujin didn’t seem to care about such things.

Seo Yu-jin immediately raised her hand and shouted that she would leave.

“Hmm… , then… .”

Glancing.

When Seo Yu-jin first announced that she would leave, the team members looked at me.

It felt like he needed my permission.

I thought about this for a while and then… .

“Yes, then Eugene, please leave.”

I just nodded.

Anyway, it’s not like you get a lot of screen time just because it’s released once.

Seo Yu-jin is not behind in popularity. It wouldn’t be a big problem if she just left.

“Ah, then Seo Yu-jin will be the representative… .”

It was the moment when my decision for Seo Yu-jin to go was confirmed.

“Wait a minute.”

There was someone who overturned this decision.

She is none other than… .

“Sorry for suddenly interrupting, but I think it would be better for contestant Haye-rin to leave.”

… It was the production crew off stage.

She listened to our decision outside the stage, and when it was decided that Seo Yu-jin would leave, she immediately intervened and pointed at me.

“… Yes?”

We couldn’t help but be embarrassed by this.

“What does that mean! I was supposed to leave… !”

In particular, Seo Yu-jin shouted as if she was being unfairly treated… .

“I’m sorry, but I think the picture is prettier with Yerin leaving. Please understand for the sake of the program~”

The production crew smiled brightly and ignored Seo Yu-jin’s opinion.

When the production team said this, Seo Yu-jin was unable to argue further, as if there was no other way.

instead… .

Tingling.

… He glared at me.

‘no… , this isn’t my fault… .’

If you look closely, he only acts like that towards me and Yu Seol.

“… Yes, then I will leave.”

Likewise, I couldn’t refuse the production crew’s request.

I went out onto the stage, receiving a stinging look from Seo Yu-jin.

Other teams also had well-known participants, including Yoo Seol.

Han Si-woo looked at the faces of the participants who came out on stage and then grabbed the microphone again.

“Okay, then among these… .”

“… … .”

“Let’s pick the ‘Mackerel Sandwich’ team first in alphabetical order. Ms. Yerin, please come forward.”

“… … Yes?”

… What on earth is this all of a sudden?

In alphabetical order… .

When I looked at him with resentful eyes, Han Si-woo smiled mischievously at me.

I had no power to go against the production team, nor did I have the power to go against Han Si-woo.

I nodded and stepped forward.

“… Yes, I understand.”

When I came forward, Han Si-woo smiled and asked me.

“Miss Yerin, is there a song you want?”

“I don’t want anything in particular… , I will just do my best no matter what song comes out.”

“Yes! Then, let’s take a look!”

Even though I said that, I was praying on the inside.

It would have been difficult if a strange song came out here.

Han Si-woo said that there were only idol hit songs from the past five years, but that didn’t mean I could naively believe that.

Among the hit songs, there were plenty of experimental songs that were difficult to express on stage.

‘Whoa…’ , please, something decent.’

I offer one last prayer to the God of broadcasting… .

Hold.

Binggrrrr-.

… I pressed the button.

First of all, the company came first.

The cyber wheel spun for a while and then stopped.

And the name written where it stops is… .

[JJ Entertainment]

It was JJ, one of the three major entertainment companies.

“Oh, first of all, the company is JJ Entertainment. Now, please press the button one more time.”

“Yes… !”

JJ Entertainment… . First of all, the company doesn’t seem to be bad.

I pressed the button wondering who the JJ idols of the last 5 years were.

Hold.

Binggrrrr-.

and… .

Click.

… The results came out soon.

“… … Huh?”

I opened my eyes wide when I saw the song the electronic sign was pointing to.
