In order to understand SAV Seo Yu-jin’s characteristics as an amateur, it is necessary to look at her life.

She was born as the last child in a family that had been childless for a long time.

A child was born as a last gift in middle age to a couple who thought they would live together for the rest of their lives, so they have no choice but to live with the love of their parents.

Seo Yu-jin also had a wealthy family.

My father is the CEO of a successful mid-sized company and my mother is a retired music professor.

Seo Yu-jin was able to do whatever she wanted as she was loved by her parents, and all she had to do was not do anything she didn’t want to do.

I didn’t study because I didn’t want to.

I was interested in music since I was young, influenced by my mother.

He was good looking and had a lot of money at home, so there were a lot of people around him.

Seeing her musicality and appearance, SAV recruited her early on.

Her shoulders rose even higher after joining SAV, one of the top three entertainment agencies in Korea.

She was able to do anything she wanted and also dreamed of becoming an idol.

One thing that is unfortunate is that SAV already released a girl group two years ago, so they cannot debut right away.

Accordingly, SAV sent trainee Seo Yu-jin to Naaa.

If you gain experience and recognition here, you will be able to gain an advantage when you debut again in SAV later.

Seo Yu-jin also knew the company’s intentions, so she wanted to show herself as active as possible at Naaah.

Because she was the most noticeable person wherever she went.

Because she could do anything she wanted, anywhere.

Seo Yu-jin thought that she was the most prominent participant in Naaah and that she could do anything she wanted.

But no.

Yu Seol and Ha Ye-rin.

Because those two people were so brilliant that even I couldn’t compare them.

Look at the looks, sing, and dance.

When Seo Yu-jin saw the two people, for the first time in 17 years of her life, she had to feel ugly jealousy instead of superiority.

Just like that, the first week of Naaah, which could be called an inflection point in her life, passed.

She returned home and made a promise.

From the second week, I will surpass Yoo Seol and Ha Ye-rin and become the contestant who showed the greatest performance.

‘For that to happen, I have to work hard at everything.’

It was in that sense that Seo Yu-jin said she would play both leader and center at the same time.

If you successfully serve as leader and center at the same time, you will be noticed by viewers.

Because she always did whatever she wanted, she never felt guilty about taking someone else’s place.

Yes.

There was no malice or elaborate plan in Seo Yu-jin’s greedy actions.

It was just a passion to surpass Yoo Seol and Ha Yerin.

of course… .

Although the direction and method of that passion were very wrong.

**

“… … .”

“… … .”

I was speechless at the quite absurd situation, but I couldn’t just sit still like this.

And then… , because that loach frost leader will take you all the way to the center.

First, I calmed down my excitement and slowly began to persuade her.

“Eujin, you are already the leader. But you want to do it at the center? It must be very difficult for you. The burden is too much.”

“When I watched other audition programs, I saw that there were many cases where they were both leader and center. It’s okay to feel pressure. I can do well.”

However, Seo Yu-jin clenched her fists as if she was okay.

When I saw that, I couldn’t help but feel extremely frustrated.

‘Mr. Lee, it doesn’t matter whether you are good or bad… .’

Right now, Seo Yu-jin looks like a child throwing a tantrum.

I had no idea how to persuade her or what to say, so I was at a loss.

It was then.

“… Over there.”

Hyejeong Lee, who was watching our conversation, carefully raised her hand and said.

“Of course, the center is the role that takes the center position and is also the center of the dance break, so I think it would be better for someone who is good at dancing to do it.”

“Yes, I dance well.”

“But… .”

Lee Hye-jeong was a good person.

He was a timid person and was not good at saying unpleasant things to others.

but… .

“Yerin dances better than you, Eugene.”

In addition to Na-ah, she was also a high-ranking singer who rose to 7th place in other audition programs.

Of course, that was 5 years ago… , Although she is now 22 years old and this happened when she was 17, she still retains the competitive nature of that time.

“Yerin dances better, but I don’t think you need to be the center since you are the leader.”

“That’s… … .”

Seo Yu-jin was speechless as Lee Hye-jeong said that logically and without even malicious intent.

Taking advantage of that atmosphere, Lee Hye-jeong turned her head to me and asked.

“How are you, Yerin?”

“… Me?”

“Yes, I think it would be better for Yerin to be the center. What do you think?”

“… … .”

If you can’t get it here, you’re on your own.

I quickly nodded to Hyejeong Lee’s question.

“I want to do it and I think I can do it well.”

“… Profit.”

When I revealed my intention to run for center, Seo Yu-jin glared at me as if to keep me in check.

Of course, I didn’t back down from that either.

“… … .”

“… Wow.”

I faced Seo Yu-jin with eyes that were no different from usual. Seo Yu-jin lowered her eyes slightly, probably thinking she was being pushed out.

When Seo Yu-jin and I did not make concessions and did not step down from the center position, it was Park Yoo-jung who stepped forward.

“Then how about voting?”

“Vote?”

“Yes, honestly, I think Yerin and Yujin would both fit well in the center. So, it is decided through voting.”

Voting… , there was nothing bad for me.

I nodded my head in agreement and looked at Seo Yujin… .

“I like it too!”

Seo Yujin also nodded as if she was confident.

“Okay, since we’re talking about it, shall we do it right now? First, please raise your hand who says it’s better for Eugene to be the center.”

Voting began immediately, led by Park Yoo-jung.

Seo Yu-jin immediately raised her hand as soon as her name was called.

however… .

“… … .”

“… … .”

No one raised their hand but her.

For a moment, Seo Yu-jin looks at the other team members with eyes full of betrayal… , Park Yoo-jung immediately took over the proceedings.

“Then please raise your hand that you like Yerin playing center this time.”

Sigh.

Okay.

As soon as my name was called, the rest of the team raised their hands as if they had been waiting.

“… Wow.”

Seo Yu-jin looked defeated when she saw that the rest of the team had all chosen me.

The first Seobuntang rebellion was suppressed through democracy… , I was able to take charge of the center I had been looking forward to.

**

After successfully completing the leader and center selection, which almost caused a stir, we immediately proceeded to the song meeting.

However, Surleader was not as negligent in his duties as a leader as expected.

“Okay, if everything is decided, since we don’t have time, let’s start by deciding on the direction of the arrangement. is a very well-chosen song and the concept seems to fit well with Naaah, so I’ll go for the one that preserves the feel of the original song as much as possible.”

… Although she felt a bit dictatorial, she wasn’t wrong.

“I think it’s good.”

“Me too.”

You can make a little arrangement or change, but if you do it wrong, it could end up being negative.

Everyone nodded when Seo Yu-jin said to go with the original song.

“Okay, then shall we start with the choreography?”

Seo Yu-jin immediately turned on the screen of the tablet given to her by the production crew.

Inside was the original choreography video for . First we played it back and watched it together.

♪♬♩-!

“Hmm… .”

“This… .”

The expressions on our faces while watching the choreography video weren’t bad.

“It’s not as difficult as I thought?”

This was because the original choreography of was not that difficult.

If I were to be honest, it would be similar in difficulty to Naaah’s theme song .

“Hmm… .”

When the dance video ended, leader Seo Yu-jin thought deeply for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“ In my opinion, I think you can just follow the choreography as is… , Do you want to create?”

It was me that Seo Yu-jin was looking at while saying that.

So of course I… .

“No.”

… I shook my head resolutely.

I raised my stats and forced my dancing skills to improve, but that didn’t mean my creative skills improved at the same time.

When I strongly expressed that I had no desire to create choreography, Seo Yu-jin nodded and moved on.

“Then let’s start with the distribution of parts.”

From then on, everything went smoothly for our team as if we had a tailwind.

**

The first team competition takes place one week after the initial team and song selection, that is, on the 8th day.

and… , one mid-term evaluation is taken on the 4th day.

It was a process of getting confirmation from producers and trainers about the progress.

Of course, most trainees cannot master the stage in 4 days, so they often fail in the mid-term evaluation.

but… .

“Phew… , That’s Okay… !”

Our team completed all performance reviews on the third night of the midterm evaluation.

This is because our team is comprised of fairly high-level participants… .

‘Sisters-! The movement isn’t right there! Do it again!’

‘No, is this difficult? this? this?’

This was possible because Seo Yu-jin frantically trained the low-ranking team members who were falling behind.

Of course, there was a feeling that they were saddened by the mistreatment of Seo Yu-jin, the youngest… .

Even though the stage was in a hurry, no one protested to her or expressed any sad feelings.

“Now! Now let’s all get together and check it out!”

While we were practicing, we used to take pictures with a tablet PC and check them as videos.

This time, we took a video of the sum and decided to check it out.

♪♬♩-!

As soon as the video started, everyone turned their eyes serious and started checking to see if they had missed anything or made a mistake.

In particular, Seo Yu-jin persistently checked to see if there was anything wrong with the low-level team members’ choreography.

and… .

“Okay, I think it’s done.”

After the video ended, an OK sign came out of her mouth.

“At this level, I don’t think you will be caught in the mid-term evaluation?”

“Wow-!”

“Whoo-!”

As she spoke, the lower-level team members collapsed and lay on the floor.

Seo Yu-jin watched the video again and smiled with satisfaction.

This was the same for Park Yoo-jung.

“It is common to get scolded in grading for not being familiar with the choreography properly, but that would not be the case for us.”

Then he smiled brightly and looked at me.

“We will receive praise tomorrow. Maybe we could win first place in the first team competition… .”

but… .

“… … Sister?”

“… … .”

I couldn’t help but laugh after watching our dance video.

This was the same for Lee Hye-jeong, who was originally in grade A.

She asked me with a voice of concern if she was looking at the same thing as me.

“Yerin… , this… .”

“First of all… , let’s just go with it. It’s a problem that we can’t do anything about right now.”

“… … Yes.”

Then he tapped my shoulder as if he trusted me.

I guess tomorrow… .

I had a feeling that it would not be a smooth mid-term evaluation.
