“Ah… , But this isn’t as big a deal as I thought, so I wonder if I’m talking nonsense… .”

When the writer hesitated, PD Shin smiled brightly and said.

“Ah~ Why are you like that! You know that I really care about little things~ Don’t hesitate and just say it.”

“Then… , Yes, I understand. This is what happened on the team I was in charge of… .”

Whisper whisper.

The author told everyone what he had seen in a quiet voice.

And the expressions on their faces when they heard this… .

“… … .”

“… … .”

Everyone was strangely frozen.

It was not because what the author said just now was empty or useless.

rather… .

‘It’s worth a try…’ .’

Everyone who heard this story felt like it was worth sharing.

but… .

“Seup… , he’s a bit hard to mess with… .”

As PD Shin said, the problem was the back of the participant who was just mentioned.

No matter how much the production crew in Naaah says he is the king, there is heaven and God above the king.

It was burdensome for Naaah to touch that participant because it was a challenge to the sky.

“… I think it will be difficult to release it unless there is a clear justification.”

“Ah… , So should we just throw it away?”

“No? That’s not it.”

Producer Shin laughed once at the writer’s words and put his hands behind his back.

“Keep it for now. I can’t use it right now, but… , won’t the day come when it explodes someday?”

The expression on PD Shin’s face when he said that looked truly mischievous.

Seeing PD Shin’s expression, the writers prayed for the contestant to rest in peace.

that… , because it was the expression Shin PD used to make when he came up with a good idea.

“Anyway, I decided to keep this matter… , Do you have any other ideas to include in episode 3?”

“… … .”

“Ang, tsk tsk. It’s useless. Yes, then there is nothing we can do about it. Let’s just focus on Yoo Seol and Ha Ye-rin’s rivalry in episode 3 and focus the rest on the team competition.”

“… Yes!”

“Oh, by any chance, how is the voting status going? Can you see it?”

“Ah, yes. Seniors. I’ll show you in a moment.”

Of course, viewers have been voting continuously since episode 1 of Naaah came out.

Next week’s filming will begin with the ranking announcement ceremony, so it will be easier for the production team to film if they know the voting status in advance.

“From here it is 100th place… .”

“I’m not interested in the ones below, just show me from the top 10.”

“From 10th place… , yes. Here it is.”

Sigh-.

At Shin PD’s request, the writer moved the screen to show the current rankings from 1st to 10th.

“Oh, it’s still early days, but there are a lot of votes? Good, good.”

PD Shin slowly looked at the rankings from the bottom with a satisfied gaze.

but… .

Stop.

Just before turning to the first and second pages, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Yoo Seol and Ha Ye-rin account for an incredible 40% of the total votes.

It is not easy to predict which of those two people will be first.

And the result… .

“Ho… .”

Yoo Seol had a slight edge over Ha Yerin.

After confirming who won first place, PD Shin laughed and tilted his head back.

“This is true. Should I say it’s the same as expected… , Should I say it’s surprising? . Anyway, it’s fun.”

“Of course, this is not confirmed. That may change through this third broadcast.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

PD Shin continued to laugh as he looked at Ha Ye-rin’s face on the screen, which is currently ranked second in terms of votes.

“Hya… , A child I never even thought of was acting like a dutiful daughter… , I really don’t know what’s going on in the world.”

“That’s right.”

Ha Ye-rin was a participant who was practically a parachute forced on her by the advertiser.

However, for Ha Ye-rin to be active on broadcast like a gift from heaven, it was quite extraordinary from his perspective.

“This is my expectation… , I think Naa Ha Ye-rin will win this time.”

“… yes? But senior. It’s still early days for the show and Ha Ye-rin doesn’t have much experience as a trainee. Won’t it be difficult to win? I guess Yu Seol will win… .”

“Haha, I just did it for fun. Let’s laugh.”

In fact, what I just said was something PD Shin said as a joke.

However, through what was just said, the writers were able to see that PD Shin had a great deal of favor towards Ha Ye-rin.

‘Producer’s pick is Ha Ye-rin.’

Shin PD’s pick.

It was like a poisoned chalice, and it was up to her how to use it.

“Okay, shall we conclude today’s meeting with this? Well, episode 3 is going to be the same as episode 1 and 2~ So, shall we all go back to the editing room now?”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

When PD Shin announced the end of the meeting, the production crew stood up and tried to return to the editing room as usual.

Then there was someone who courageously raised his hand.

“I… , PD Shin!”

“Hmm? Why are you doing that?”

She was the youngest writer (new, female, 25 years old, graduated last year, not experienced).

When her seniors tried to casually head to the editing room, she couldn’t understand the situation and raised her hand.

“That… , It’s past midnight now, aren’t we going to get off work?”

“… … .”

The youngest’s comments after work were met with cold looks from the seniors, but PD Shin just smiled and opened his mouth.

“Ahaha, youngest. What do you mean by leaving work? Our broadcast is next week, but when I get off work now, who will edit and who will broadcast.”

“Well, then I’m working overtime today… .”

“Today? Haha, look at what he says? This is the young generation these days… , they said something. I suddenly can’t remember?”

“MG generation.”

“Ah, that’s right M-Zet! Maybe it’s because they’re from the M-Z generation, but they’re very free-spirited. That’s the youngest. Call home right now… .”

PD Shin continued speaking with a bright smile.

“Ask me to send 5 days’ worth of underwear and socks right now.”

“… … .”

“Even though outerwear is okay, underwear feels uncomfortable if you don’t change it regularly.”

That’s how Episode 3 of My Idol Academia was created through the sweat of the production staff who stayed up for four nights in a row.

[Han Si-woo: Yes, that’s right. In the first team competition, your team is the one who chose the same sandwich.]

[…] … !!]

[Participants are agitated.]

Even thinking about it again, the team selection part was dizzying.

The sandwich that was thought to be a simple PPL was actually a device for team selection.

[Park Yoo-jeong (Levi): Oh, sister! we… !]

[Lee Hye-jeong (Kidship): Yes, Yerin! Yoojeong! we… !]

[Park Yoo-jeong (Levi): Wow!!! Long live the mackerel sandwich-!!!]

The screen showed me, Park Yoo-jung, and Lee Hye-jeong happy to be on the same team.

While watching this, I also looked at the viewer reactions posted by Lee Ji-woo next to him.

– Hahahahahahahaha

-Those three seemed a bit close from before.

-Mackerel Sandwich That weird guy put those three together as a team.

For reference, in the early part of the broadcast, I received quite a bit of attention due to the controversy over the mackerel sandwich.

[Q: Why did you choose the mackerel sandwich?]

[Ha Ye-rin (Brother Planning): … Because it looks delicious.]

[Ha Ye-rin (Brother Planning): It’s actually delicious. I recommend it.]

-Gwaeeek! Wow!

-What kind of crazy person would think of making a sandwich with mackerel?

-How could I even love a mackerel sandwich? I loved Yerin.

-Yerin, when we get married, I will cook the food.

-Wow, the mackerel sandwich is delicious. Yerin knows it well.

The mackerel sandwich was really delicious… In fact, didn’t Seo Yu-jin, who has the image of a rich girl, choose the mackerel sandwich?

[Q: Was the mackerel sandwich delicious?]

[Seo Yu-jin (SAV): The flavor was good. It was worth eating.]

-From Ha Ye-rin to Seo Yu-jin haha, advertisers are happy.

-I’m going to eat a mackerel sandwich at Eurachacha Sandwich tomorrow.

-I heard their family is rich? Seeing as Seo Yu-jin said it was delicious, it must be really delicious.

[Mackerel sandwich chosen by two girls! What does it taste like? The production team tried it themselves.]

[After taking a bite.]

[Producer: … Wow, it’s delicious. Of course, Eurachacha sandwich.]

[They say so.]

-Anyone can see that it looks so expressionless and tasteless? lol

-Advertiser sobs.

-Ha Ye-rin and Seo Yu-jin are said to be delicious, but the ugly girl is also a picky eater.

[A mackerel sandwich team with unique tastes!]

[Two A-level participants gathered together?]

If you really think about it, there were three A-level players on our team, including Lee Hye-jeong, who was originally in the A level.

When I think about it now, I was very lucky with the team.

Viewers seemed to have felt this as well, with reactions of admiration pouring in in the comments section.

-and… , But from Ha Ye-rin to Seo Yu-jin? The team is really good.

-There’s Park Yoo-jung, Lee Hye-jung, and um… , etc. too!

-I was very lucky.

-This is the fate created by the mackerel sandwich!

But as viewers’ expectations increased, I couldn’t help but worry.

This was because of the leader and center ranking scene right after the song was selected.

‘I definitely didn’t like the way Eugene said he would do everything with the leader and center at the time… .’

How did the production team edit this? .

I continued watching without letting go of tension.
