Became The Leader of a Girl Group Destined To Fail – Chapter 127

Chapter 127

“PD-nim! Earlier—LMR didn’t come out. There must have been some mistake!”

“Ah, our staff made a little mistake while communicating.”

“Then we need to redo the stage!”

“No, Ryeo-yu. The broadcast will have the version with LMR. We’ll handle it well. It’s only the live stage that was affected. There won’t be any problem on the broadcast, so don’t worry.”

“But then, in the voting…!”

“Ryeo-yu. Everyone here is an active idol. Even if LMR came out properly, do you think they wouldn’t have noticed? Really?”

“…!”

“We can make mistakes too. Don’t be so hard on us. I’m not your subordinate, you know.”

Of course, I knew.

That Kim Ryeo-yu prepared the LMR?

“Tomorrow, Ryeo-yu… we’ll play the LMR on stage. Record your part only.”

I had already learned about it through the manager.

Fortunately, I had received a bit of cooperation from one of the on-site staff members planted by CEO Hong.

Originally, it was supposed to be MR, but we tried to change it to LMR on the day of the performance.

Creating confusion by pretending to make a mistake wasn’t that difficult.

Thanks to that.

The people on site could see exactly how the live stage went.

Kim Ryeo-yu seemed to have given up on live singing far more than we expected.

She must have thought, ‘At least let’s dance well since it’s going to be broadcasted.’

The rest of the team members didn’t want to be associated with her, so they focused on live singing more than usual.

So, to the other idols, it must have been absurd.

We didn’t even need to look at the combined results to know which team was the final worst team.

“Team . You recorded first place in both the preliminary and rival votes, but unfortunately, you’ve been selected as the worst team for this mission. From now on, you must vote within your team to select the member who contributed the least to the stage.”

Finally.

The moment of fate had arrived.

***

So, Full Moon team got chosen as the worst.

Kim Ryeo-yu is really writing a history of being a nuisance.

Are you kidding me? LOL The best team is going to be the worst? (Except for one person)

Kim Ryeo-yu did it again.

Looking at other idols’ interviews, it seems they didn’t sing at all at the live stage LOL

Someone remove the MR, please LOL

Honestly, except for Ryeo-yu, the other three were flying on stage… This makes no sense.

You know what’s the only consolation?

I feel sorry for Cha Yul, Sae-ah, and Yoon Cheong, but…

When they got chosen as the worst team, I was so happy I waved my underwear.

I thought I wouldn’t have to see Kim Ryeo-yu anymore.

I was secretly cheering inside.

└22 LOL Every idol fan probably feels the same.

└└My bias is one of those three, but I was also happy thinking, ‘Let’s just leave her behind this time.’

But what if Kim Ryeo-yu isn’t chosen as the worst?

No way, right?

Hey, delete this post.

Delete this post—seriously.

Delete it quickly. The Mnet bastards might see it.

Oh, damn. These Mnet bastards make me uneasy LOL

It’s so obvious, but I’m still anxious about it. Damn Mnet guys.

Drawing reactions of half worry and half expectation, “Top of Idol” returned after a minute of commercials.

When it returned, only the four team members were left.

Production crew: Before selecting the worst member, we’ll give you some time to discuss among yourselves.

[Sae-ah: …First of all, everyone worked really hard. It’s unfortunate that we got this result, but I have no regrets about the stage.]

[Yul: Everyone did great. It wasn’t an easy song.]

At the words of the two senior members, the two junior members couldn’t lift their heads.

[Cheong: It was a valuable time where I learned a lot. Thank you. I feel regretful thinking my shortcomings might have burdened my seniors.]

[Sae-ah: No burden at all. Honestly, I feel like I learned more from watching you, Cheong.]

[Yul: Right. Cheong, you seemed like a 10-year veteran idol.]

[Cheong: (Surprised)]

Why is Yoon Cheong surprised LOL

Was it like, ‘In this world, I’m a rookie despite being a 10-year veteran in another world’ Cheong-ah? LOL

So cute, Gatbl LOL Is she shy about compliments? 5959 But she really did so well. Even if she was a 100-year veteran, it would make sense.

[Ryeo-yu: …Thank you, everyone. It was a time where I could realize a lot while taking on a role that was too much for me. I grew thanks to the seniors doing so well.]

[Yul: I think the first year is when you grow by breaking and shattering. You did well.]

[Sae-ah: You did well too, Ryeo-yu. It’s not easy for a rookie to take on the main vocal role. I wanted to give opportunities to rookies, but I was worried it might have been too much.]

Subtitle: Warm words exchanged between seniors and juniors

Subtitle: Ryeo-yu moved by the warm comfort…

[Yul: Since we all did our best, I think that’s enough.]

Subtitle: Yul unusually subdued today

[Yul: So, whoever is chosen as the worst member, it won’t be surprising. We all did our best equally. We won’t resent each other for being pointed out. Right?]

Cha Yul subtly looked towards Kim Ryeo-yu as she said that.

Kim Ryeo-yu tried hard to avoid that gaze.

[Sae-ah: Right. We all did our best. Let’s focus on the stage, not the voting results.]

[Ryeo-yu: …I…]

All eyes turned to Kim Ryeo-yu.

[Ryeo-yu: If I were given one more chance, I believe I could do really well.]

Saying that, Kim Ryeo-yu covered her face with both hands.

[Ryeo-yu: I’m not saying don’t vote for me as the worst member. I just… just wanted to say this.]

The three others didn’t look at Kim Ryeo-yu.

They just stared at their own feet.

Production crew: It seems you’ve had enough time to talk. Now, please go into the voting room one by one.

***

Cha Yul was the first to enter the voting room.

Production Crew: Who will you vote for as the worst member in today’s mission?

[Yul: Before I point out anyone, I want to explain why I’m voting for them.]

[Yul: Actually, I didn’t decide based on who worked harder or less. Everyone truly gave their best and was sincere.]

Subtitle: Yul looking conflicted

[Yul: I will vote for Ryeo-yu.]

Subtitle: An unexpected result…!

Maybe the PD didn’t see it coming

Everyone here expected it, you Mnet jerk

Cha Yul did great. I feel so relieved

[Yul: I think Ryeo-yu has much more potential for growth than immediate results. She is someone I look forward to seeing once she gains more experience.]

[Yul: But right now, I see some disappointing aspects. That’s why I chose Ryeo-yu.]

Subtitle: Yul’s sadness at having to choose someone

Subtitle: What did the other team members choose?

[Cheong: It’s not easy. Honestly, I don’t want to vote for anyone.]

[Cheong: (laughs)]

Subtitle: But you must choose one~!

[Cheong: Then I will vote for Ryeo-yu. Although she did really well, I can’t bring myself to vote for those who taught and guided me.]

[Cheong: That reason outweighs any other.]

[Cheong: I hope Ryeo-yu votes for me too….]

Yes, this is right

Seriously, this is correct. Kim Ryeo-yu should have fallen with HiHiHo

Subtitle: The third voter, Ryeo-yu, whom did she choose?

[Ryeo-yu: This is a really difficult choice.]

[Ryeo-yu: …I don’t think I’ll feel comfortable no matter who I choose.]

Of course, you should be the one to fall

└ LOL

└└ Yes, naturally… If you have the slightest bit of conscience…

[Ryeo-yu: I honestly don’t want to choose anyone, but… since someone has to be chosen.]

[Ryeo-yu: I will vote for Sae-ah sunbae.]

Subtitle: An incredibly difficult choice for a newly debuted rookie…

[Ryeo-yu: …I am very sorry to Sae-ah sunbae. If only I had done a bit better….]

Subtitle: But an unavoidable choice

Subtitle: Why did she choose Sae-ah?

[Ryeo-yu: …As the most senior member, she practically took on the role of leader.]

[Ryeo-yu: It’s a position that inevitably comes with responsibility… so, although it’s difficult, I made this choice.]

Subtitle: A reason that can be fully understood…

LOL Is this really a comedy?

What the hell;

Why do the Colors insist on dragging someone like her along?

Because she’s Kim Mokyung’s niece? Do I really have to see this personality on TV?

It’s fine. Kim Ryeo-yu has 2 votes, Sae-ah has 1, so Kim Ryeo-yu will fall.

Subtitle: The last team member to decide the team’s fate is?

Subtitle: None other than Sugar Dream’s leader, Sae-ah.

[Sae-ah: What I felt while doing this mission is, even if we were chosen as the worst… I would find it hard to point out someone else as the worst member.]

[Sae-ah: Since I’m the most senior, I have to take responsibility for everything.]

Subtitle: She was also the de facto leader of the team, what choice will she make?

[Sae-ah: So I will… choose myself.]

?

…??? What???

Seriously, what the heck

[Sae-ah: Actually, coming on “Top of Idol” was too much for us.]

[Sae-ah: With busy schedules, the members gradually got tired, and some even got injured.]

[Sae-ah: One of our members hasn’t fully recovered from an ankle ligament injury.]

Subtitle: A heart she couldn’t fully express…

[Sae-ah: So after discussing with the members, we concluded that it’s best for us to end our journey on “Top of Idol” here.]

[Sae-ah: I am very sorry to our fans. If it weren’t for our injuries… we would never have given up.]

Subtitle: Sae-ah and Sugar Dream tied with Ryeo-yu but, due to injuries, have no choice but to leave here.

Subtitle: Applause for them as they leave beautifully, giving greater opportunities to their juniors…

Damn, mentioning injuries… I have no words.

Honestly, there’s no need for Top of Idol to push through injuries. Sae-ah did well.

Kim Ryeo-yu is seriously so lucky. How does she manage to survive like a zombie;

★

Sae-ah: I’m escaping

Me: Damn it

Shin Sae-ah made a timely escape. Even if they were eliminated this time, everyone knows who truly deserved to fall LOL

It’s an honorable death.

But Kim Ryeo-yu voting for Sae-ah is crazy.

The Ryeo-yu-Raksa team really has poor character, voting out the senior who carried them.

If she had voted for Yoon, she would have been heavily criticized, so she picked Sae-ah instead. But still, she gets more criticism.

And so.

The team eliminated in the second mission was Sugar Dream.

But soon everyone would know.

That Sugar Dream didn’t just get eliminated, they escaped from a sinking ship.

Ready.

I checked the message and closed my phone.
