Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 304

304. Surely They Won’t Recognize Me? (1)

The first episode ended with the performance of the second group.

Although the ranking announcement was pushed to next week’s broadcast, the reaction to UTT wasn’t as bad as expected.

No, rather…….

[There’s this program that Xnet put a lot of effort into this time]

-I almost popped my eyes out while watching

Is there anyone else like me?

(Comments)

-A greater Korea is coming!

-I thought the lineup was decent, so I was watching while eating a late-night snack, but I almost choked;;ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴYou too? Me too~. After reading the reviews from people who went to the live recording, I wondered what the stage was like that everyone was going crazy about……. It was worth going crazy over.

ㄴThere were reviews from the live recording? Link please

ㄴHere you go http://…….

Very good.

Saying it wasn’t bad might be an understatement.

[Anyone just watched Limit Breakthrough?]

[Where can I watch Limit Breakthrough reruns?]

[Does anyone know who UTT is~]

Almost every related online community was turned upside down.

-Hey you, stop spamming;; This isn’t just a place for you guys.

ㄴSeems like a lot of people are watching

ㄴI’m just talking about the TV show I watched, why are you acting like a manager? Can’t I even express my feelings?

ㄴIf you’re going to be like this, go make your own gallery and get lost

ㄴNope~

There was an answer in the comments.

They were just individuals posting their impressions.

The problem was that there were quite a lot of them.

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I just heard about it now, why did I miss it ㅅ1ㅂ Why did I eat at that time, you stupidㅠㅠㅠ

ㄴThe replay fire is being set up now, come join us >>> http://……

ㄴ헐 ㄱㅅ [short for “헐 감사합니다,” meaning “OMG, thank you!”]

They definitely left a strong impression.

So, even though it’s just the very beginning, the first episode, the reaction is already this intense.

Of course, they did drop a lot of bait.

Watching the large-scale promotion, Yeonwoo thought this.

‘It’s a completely different world from dramas?’

Promoting movies or dramas, it feels a bit different, somehow?

It’s an ambitious project to properly absorb the overseas fandom and further enhance the status of K-POP.

The target audience was different from the start.

Maybe that’s the difference brought about by such purpose or genre characteristics?

Thanks to the popularity and recognition of the participating groups, and the large-scale promotion, the reaction to the first episode was incredibly hot.

‘And at the center of that is UTT.’

UTT reliably absorbed the people who started watching the program because they were baited by the fact that they could see a special side of the idol they were stanning [supporting/obsessing over].

The stage that intensely decorated the end definitely left a strong impression.

‘It’s a relief that we decided to go first.’

It was none other than Yeonwoo’s choice to choose the order of the cue sheet as the first.

Limit Breakthrough, although it is a survival program, has the nature of a variety show, so the order of the cue sheet was determined by playing mini-games.

Yeonwoo briefly recalled that time.

“We’re deciding the cue sheet with a lottery?”

As soon as the MC finished speaking, UTT, who was sitting in the studio, was on the verge of losing their souls.

A meticulous strategy was needed to create a cue sheet that determined the order of the performances.

For example, like this.

“If you go out first, the chances of forgetting the first stage while watching the other stages are high because it’s the very first. The most moderate thing to do is to be one spot in front of the last, or maybe just in the middle. Honestly, the last is the best. Because what you see last stays in your memory the longest.”

“The last order of music shows is also given to the most famous group. Or, if a senior artist comes out, they give it to the senior artist.”

Anyway, for various reasons, the story was that the last order was the best.

“It’s impossible for us to be last with our experience, but it might be okay if the order is a bit later…….”

UTT, who heard that they were going to play a mini-game, burned with the will to somehow play the game and get the last order.

‘But I didn’t know that the mini-game was a lottery.’

What is a lottery?

Isn’t it a method where you have to rely entirely on luck for the result?

It was no wonder that UTT’s mentality, who had vowed to get the order by doing all sorts of personal skills if necessary, crumbled like powder.

Fortunately, there was a remedy.

“Teams that are not satisfied with the order can change the order of the cue sheet through trades!”

“We have hidden treasures throughout the studio that can be traded.”

“The one who finds the treasure has the opportunity!”

“Let the treasure hunt begin!”

As if signaling the start of a race, he draws his hand down from top to bottom.

“What, what is it?”

“Treasure hunt? In the studio?”

“Why is there a treasure hunt all of a sudden?”

That’s what I’m saying.

It wasn’t just UTT who was out of their minds.

However, like seasoned entertainers, they quickly began to scatter.

‘I heard that they put a lot of effort into the studio, so I guess this is how they’re going to introduce it…….’

The PD’s words that he was proud of building a set that was almost hundreds of square feet flashed through his mind.

The participating teams began to search every corner of the set.

From the throne where the winner would sit to the stage where they would compete.

Under the guise of a treasure hunt, they began to introduce every corner in detail.

As teams slowly began to find treasures, more detailed rules were introduced.

“You can trade the found treasure with the opposing team to trade orders. The opposing team can trade with other teams with the treasure they received. However, you cannot trade with the opponent you have already traded with!”

After that, it was a complete mess.

You cannot change the order with the opponent you have already traded with.

However, it was possible to take back the order by going through another team.

It was a moment when the battle of wits was very important.

“What should we do……?”

The taker and the taken.

And the taker who takes from the taker again.

The one who pays the treasure to the taken becomes the taker again.

It’s a complete mess.

“I don’t think we can get the last order?”

The competition for the last order was fierce.

UTT, who had only debuted and had no experience, was too small to step in.

Yeonwoo, who was gauging the situation for a moment, said.

“Do you trust me?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“I’m asking if you trust me.”

“Of course. Who would we trust if we didn’t trust you?”

Raon continued to answer, replacing Minchan, who frowned as if he was dumbfounded.

[Trust level: 93%]

[Trust level: 95%]

The trust level, which started at 0.1, rose sharply to over 90 percent.

For reference, that 95 percent figure is from Minchan, who criticized it as nonsense.

Come to think of it, Minchan is a very unique guy.

Isn’t it time to be honest at this point?

Anyway, Yeonwoo said to the members as if declaring.

“We’re going first.”

Thanks to no one aiming for the first spot, UTT’s first recapture was very easy.

Leader Lee Seungmin had an uneasy expression even while bringing the panel with UTT’s name on it and sticking it in the number 1 cue sheet spot.

Once they took the number 1 spot, no one touched UTT anymore.

They even received glances of gratitude from other groups.

“Think about it.”

“About what?”

“Are you confident that you won’t be intimidated by watching other teams’ stages?”

“…….”

I trust their skills, but trust and reality are separate.

‘How much confidence and self-esteem have I built up? I can’t drop that.’

I can see it clearly.

The sight of dropping the self-esteem that I worked hard to build up after watching other teams’ stages.

Confidence will probably hit a negative number?

Anyway, that’s the reason why I chose the first one.

Thanks to being the first, they are now properly making a splash.

[What’s up with those UTT kids, they’re so pitiful…….]

-I thought some unknown group was coming out, but there are still such poor kidsㅠㅠ

ㄴThe agency’s CEO is a 개1새 [gae-sae, a very strong insult meaning “dog” or “son of a bitch”], letting those talented kids go like thatㅠ

-I was surprised to see them eating one ramen with five peopleㅋㅋ……. If I only knew where their dorm was, I’d send them a box of ramen

ㄴDid you see him drop the egg while trembling? All five of them stared blankly at it, I thought I turned the channel wrong;; I thought I turned on Human Theater or a human documentary story;

-My mom was watching and asked what those kids were doing……. I told her they were idols, and she said, ‘Have idols become that difficult these days?’ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ큐ㅠㅠ No, Mom, it’s just themㅠㅠㅠ

-Doesn’t it seem like a fabrication? Who lives so poorly these daysㅋㅋ?

ㄴIf that’s a fabrication, I’ll bet my hand on it. That can never be a fabrication. You can only see that as a vibe that comes from experience

ㄴIf they knew how to act so realistically as a fabrication, wouldn’t they have already become actors, friend?

ㄴThese days, everything is a fabrication? Don’t you know that Limit Breakthrough PD is famous for not having evil editing and fabrication?

ㄴㄹㅇ [short for 리얼, meaning “real”] Trust and watch ★Gong☆PD★ The reason I looked forward to Limit Breakthrough is because it’s Gong PD’s programㅎ

The video that was unintentionally introduced before the competition properly played its role.

‘Is it okay for this to go out?’

Yeonwoo was worried, but the reaction was more favorable than expected.

No, it was so favorable that the majority of people were saying that there were such pitiful kids and that they should be supported now.

‘It must be because they showed themselves working hard.’

Anyone can sit down and complain about the given misfortune.

But they struggled to overcome that misfortune and eventually challenged the competition program.

The fact that the process was broadcast in detail was also the PD’s aim.

It’s not a professional camera, it’s just an old cell phone, so the quality is not good and the hand shaking is severe audition video.

However, everyone in it is full of passion.

That appearance was more than enough to be seen even when preparing for the competition.

‘And even the results of that competition are perfect.’

A talented, unlucky idol blooms again in the support of fans.

How tempting is this story?

Yeonwoo’s plan to ‘become the first in order’ was successful.

“Yeonwoo, you have a plan for everything?”

Let’s just skip over the fact that Lee Seungmin clapped his hands in admiration.

However, there was one part that Yeonwoo didn’t expect.

-But weren’t there 5 of them? There are 6 people on stage?

-The face looks familiar??

-There’s no way I wouldn’t know a kid who looks like that and is full of talent. Did they bring a trainee and plug them in?

ㄴDo you think there are any trainees left in their agency?

ㄴAh…… sorry;

Because the stage was so impressive, people started watching it meticulously in nano units.

Thanks to that, Yeonwoo, who danced with them like a member even though he wasn’t a member, also received attention.

‘I tried my best not to be recognized……?’

Yeonwoo deliberately chose the smallest part.

To be exact, Yeonwoo took all the least noticeable parts by modifying the choreography.

Modifying the choreography wasn’t easy, but it was better than splitting the amount for 6 people into 5.

It’s better to modify something that exists than to create something from nothing.

I had no choice but to take on the main parts in the parts that shouldn’t be messed up, but anyway, I did my best not to stand out.

I didn’t know that it would be caught by people who were making nano-unit gifs.

‘Surely. Surely they won’t recognize me, surely?’

UTT’s stage concept is sexiness.

It was a concept that reinterpreted Six Tail’s concept in UTT’s style.

A perfectly fitting suit that fills up to the neck.

Tying a tie that looks even ascetic, and wearing classic wing tips with a glossy finish at the end of the pants.

The leather gloves, which were made so thin that they showed even the veins in the hand and covered only half of the back of the hand, were none other than the work of Doyul, who has taciturn tailoring skills.

The end covered with mesh over the eyes was the final boss that completed the ascetic atmosphere.

As the stage progresses, they start by untying the end that covers their eyes and take off their clothes one by one.

“We can’t wear the same clothes as our seniors.”

There’s no way they can wear hot pants like Six Tail, which has quite a bit of exposure.

So, what was chosen was asceticism, and a little bit of exposure that contrasted with it.

It was a trick to maximize efficiency with minimal exposure.

-Look at when they take off their eye patch and jacket hereㅇㅇ No matter how I look at it, it looks like Yeonwoo?

ㄴIt’s 빼박 [ppae-bak, meaning “no doubt” or “nailed it”]ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yeonwoo, why are you hereㅋㅋㅋㅋ

ㄴI was going to die because I felt sorry for him even in his daily life cam, but he’s even performing on stage togetherㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Looking at him falling behind, I guess he was just trying to be an assistantㅋㅋㅋ It’s ruined^^ You’ve already been caught^^

There are many things to cover and the part is the smallest.

The makeup even changed his impression, so I thought there was no way he would be caught.
