“Yes? Who is the most formidable?”

For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears. No, do you usually ask this question from the beginning? Isn’t this a ploy to send me away? It’s the devil’s editing or something.

Where I am now is a studio in Gyeonggi-do. This was a place I visited for a preliminary interview. The person in front of me, PD Lee Ji-hyun, unlike the first time he greeted me with a bright smile, put a very sharp question at my throat.

Once you’ve been asked a question, you have to answer it…

“Rather than being easy… Is there anyone who says, ‘I think I can win with this person?’”

“That’s what it sounds like…”

“Would you like to watch the data video one more time?”

“Of course. I was so embarrassed for a moment that I seem to have forgotten everything.”

Producer Jihyeon Lee let out a small laugh and played the video again on the monitor set up next to her. It was assumed that it was probably submitted together with the participants when they applied for participation.

There were videos of people doing triple measurements like me, scenes of martial arts matches, videos of movements like artistic gymnastics, and scenes of lifting weights, etc., and there was a wide variety of videos.

she asked, pausing the video.

“Then, shall we pick the opponent who looks the strongest first?”

“That’s easy. The person in the fighting video looks the strongest. Did you say Jang Seok-gi? Your eyes are fierce and your body is strong.”

“Jang Seok-ki? He’s definitely a great person. Are you confident if you meet Jang Seok-ki as your opponent?”

What should I answer? Su-jin Jeong said not to create controversy, but wouldn’t this be okay? It doesn’t seem good to take too much away from the topic that has come so far.

“If I say I am confident, it would seem too arrogant, right? It’s the same no matter who the opponent is. I plan to do my best.”

I returned an answer that seemed reasonable. Producer Lee Ji-hyeon seemed satisfied with that level of answer and moved on to the next question.

“Participant Lee Min-ho doesn’t seem to be on social media. Is there a reason?”

There is a prepared answer for this part.

“Until now, I did not run a separate SNS because I wanted to focus only on exercise. Now that I am participating in the program, I am thinking about selling my account.”

“It would be best to make it as soon as possible. It has to be made in advance for better promotional effect.”

“Okay.”

I nodded obediently.

“You said you exercise. What kind of exercise do you usually do? Fitness?”

“I worked out and learned a little bit of martial arts.”

I’ve never even set foot in a gym, even if it’s a gym, but if you look at me, you can see that I have a rather strong body, and if I use my superpowers, dodging punches and kicks isn’t a problem.

Strictly speaking, it’s all something I know how to do within my capabilities, so wouldn’t it be a lie?

In addition, he answered all sorts of questions, including his determination to win, what he plans to spend the prize money on, and whether he has a girlfriend.

“Hobbies… I don’t like going outside, so I play a lot of games.”

“A game?”

At that moment, PD Lee Ji-hyun’s expression became strange. Normally, there wouldn’t be many cases where a person like me, who has a serious body, says that he likes games because he doesn’t want to go out.

“Yes, I am quite confident in my skills.”

“Um…”

After thinking about it for a while, she asked me if I decided that this scene could be used.

“Can I get a play video or something? I think it would be good to include it when editing the interview video.”

“We will send it to you today.”

My preliminary interview was roughly organized like this. Among the answers, there were some that were reasonable lies, but since it’s been a few years since I cut off ties with people around me, I thought, ‘That bastard is actually…!’ You don’t have to worry about backlash while doing so.

Even though it’s YouTube, it’s my first broadcast debut, so I can’t honestly say, ‘I was a nobody until recently.’ You can set the image the way you want. Isn’t this the advantage of Assa?

“Okay! Thank you for your hard work. There were a lot of questions, right?”

“I was just sitting there. ”

After the long interview, we stood up.

“Oh…!”

stumble

Perhaps because she had been sitting for a long time, producer Lee Ji-hyun stumbled while standing up with her cup and script. She falls while making a mistake.

Jiingㅡ

A high-speed accident is cast with an activation sound that others cannot hear.

I slowly support her back as it faces the floor and use my remaining hand to catch the scattered scripts and cup. The coffee in the cup did not spill out.

Since my abilities have definitely increased, I can now move a little more freely while using high-speed thinking. If it weren’t for the ever-increasing mileage requirements, it would have been enough to just keep recording the abilities, but it’s a bit disappointing.

Even though I was thinking about other things, I took everything in my hands and turned off the high-speed thinking.

“Kaaa…! Huh?”

I helped her up with her eyes wide open in surprise. He looks like he doesn’t quite understand what just happened.

“Thank you…”

“Here. Be careful.”

She is handed the script and coffee with a blank expression. I said goodbye to the stunned girl and went back home.

Considering the broadcast schedule, the sooner you send it, the more they will like it. If you’re going to send it as a data screen, you should send it as a good-looking version.

“Goodbye.”

sweet

‘…What just happened?’

Jihyun Lee thought about participant Lee Minho who had just left the studio.

It was clear that the contestant had good physical skills. This is what I felt after seeing the application video. One of the reasons he was selected was that he has a muscular body and moves like a gymnast.

But what was the reaction speed just a moment ago? How did you catch her falling script and coffee with one hand?

It all happened so suddenly. She suddenly felt like she was watching a circus at work.

sweet

“Hello!”

“Ah, yes.”

First, she decided to focus on interviewing the next participant.

A few more hours passed like that.

crackling

Jihyun Lee, who had finished all the interviews and handed over the video to the editing team, was checking the footage with the editing team leader.

“Stop! Here, this scene!”

“Oh…”

She pointed at the monitor with her finger. On the screen, Lee Min-ho was shown picking up her as she fell. As if they were knitting each other, as soon as she fell, Lee Min-ho caught her and snatched the script and cup.

When I slowed down the playback speed, the scene became even more interesting. At the same time as accepting her, Lee Min-ho moves his hand to accurately catch falling objects. Meanwhile, the coffee that was slightly spilling out goes back into the cup. There was no embarrassment on his face as he did such a thing.

Even if they drop their smartphone, there are a lot of people who accidentally throw it away while fumbling around with both hands. How is that possible?

“How do you feel? It’s crazy! You really have to include this scene!”

Just a little while ago, she was thinking about his strong, rubber-like forearms that she had unconsciously grabbed, but now all she could think about was how to make the program a hit with this scene.

“That’s amazing. Wow… what did they really do?”

“Perfect for the ending scene of the pre-interview! If you put it in, won’t viewers’ interest explode? Hehe…”

Ji-Hyeon Lee looked satisfied because she got a good scene before it even started.

The editorial team leader thought for a moment and said.

“Then how about something like this?”

“Which one?”

In response to her question, the editorial team leader played interview videos of other participants.

[Who looks the strongest? I remember Lee Min-ho’s application video the most.]

[I was amazed to see him stand on his fingers. It was really amazing.]

[Is the top 3 record really true when your body is that light? Wow, how did you recruit this?]

“After watching the application video, many participants seemed to feel that Lee Min-ho was a strong rival.”

“I guess so.”

“Originally, we were going to focus on Jang Seok-ki at the beginning of the program, but with this much source material, don’t you think we could go with a new face strategy?”

“Focusing the issue on Lee Min-ho?”

When Jihyun Lee asked with a grim expression, the head of the editing team nodded.

“The reason you chose Lee Min-ho in the first place was because it seemed like it would be an issue, right? Try investing a little more. If you’re lucky enough to get a good scene from the start, I think you can expect a little more.”

‘I don’t know if I should just consider that luck…’

In fact, they had already thought of a winner to some extent. That is Jang Seok-gi, a mixed martial arts athlete.

However, Jang Seok-ki, who was designated as the winner, also does not know this fact. The only people who knew the truth were the editing team leader, PD Lee Ji-hyun, and Coach Cro.

Well, from the production team’s point of view, they must make the program a success, but they can’t just pick random contestants and pray for good scenes to come out, right?

Instead, the production team adjusts the content of the contest with the participants so that the situation flows as much as possible according to the story they envisioned.

‘Change the beginning of the plan…’

There were definitely concerns that it would be too much of a one-man show if the team focused on Jang Seok-ki from the beginning and he ended up winning.

However, the decision was made because there was no usable material, and I thought it would be better to follow the editorial team leader’s words and go with a new face strategy in the beginning and then naturally change the issue.

“Sounds like a good idea.”

“Then I will tell this to the coach.”

ring

At that time, Jihyun Lee’s smartphone notification rang. I checked and it was an email from Lee Min-ho.

‘video?’

She expressed her doubts for a moment and checked her email. My mind flashes when I see the game video attached.

“Editorial Team Leader.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s add this too.”

Nerd man.

A man like that is a stay-at-home mom and likes games? The scene where viewers were pouring out question marks was already clearly visible.
