Chapter 203:


    Isnt this a bnce copse?


    AWY, who had been busy with advertisements, photo shoots, interviews, and other preparations for their overseas activities next year, finally faced the recording day of the variety show Our time with PD Lee Jong-soo.


    Today is the day we find out our teams, right?


    I wonder who well be paired with.


    Our time was not just aposition survival show, so they had a tight schedule.


    Originally, they nned to show the team formation through various games, but they decided to save time by just doing adder game in the recording studio. Instead, they would focus more on theposition process and each members individuality.


    Who do you guys want to recruit for your team?


    Park Seo-dams question was answered by Park Jin-hyuk and Lee Joo-hyuk.


    Well, it has to be Ian. He canpose and write lyrics to some extent. Choreography creation is a bit vague, but they said they would assign trainers for that anyway.


    If you want choreography creation, you can also take Hyun, theres one spot left. But it doesnt really matter, since the title is decided only by the song. Well all perform together anyway.


    Oh, really?


    Kim Ju-young drooped his shoulders with a tired expression.


    Wow, if Ian joins Joo-hyuk hyungs team, isnt it over?


    No, you cant tell until you see the final product. Who knows, maybe you and I will suddenly beposing gods?


    Park Jin-hyuk consoled Kim Ju-young as he opened the door to the studio.


    Hello!


    The AWY members entered the studio and bowed politely. The staffs eyes were all on AWY.


    Oh, youre here!


    PD-nim!


    Their faces looked excited. After Avis appearance on the variety show was confirmed, the production cost had increased due to the influx of sponsorship and advertisement offers.


    Following the staffs call, PD Lee Jong-soo quickly came to the front of AWY. He shook hands with each member and greeted them warmly.


    You came early? Its been a while, hasnt it?


    PD-nim. We look forward to working with you today.


    Lee Joo-hyuks words made Lee Jong-soo chuckle. Even though they had gained poprity that he couldnt touch casually, they were still polite and nice. He had be close to them after a few meetings, but he liked that they didnt cross the line.


    I should be the one asking you to work well with me. The personing behind me is our CP-nim.


    The members turned around and saw a ratherrge person approaching AWY with big strides.


    He was smiling from ear to ear when he heard you wereing.


    Lee Jong-soo whispered as if he was telling a secret. Therge figure looked even more intimidating with a suit on.


    Nice to meet you! Im CP Yoo Joon-hyung.


    [Oh, wait.]


    Jin, who was hovering around Ian, teleported to Yoo Joon-hyungs face and stuck his lens to it.


    What?


    Ian was puzzled, but he bowed with the other members anyway.


    Hello. We look forward to working with you!


    Oh, I should be the one saying that. PD Lee, is there anything you need?


    Lee Jong-soo silently raised his thumb.


    I really wanted to meet you guys. Our broadcasting station doesnt have any music shows, you know


    Oh, is that so?


    But music shows are not that profitable from the broadcasting stations perspective Can you take a picture with meter?


    As Yoo Joon-hyungs mouth moved nonstop, the AWY members smiled awkwardly and replied appropriately.


    CP-nim, these kids have to get ready, so why dont you talk to themter? We have plenty of time anyway.


    Really? Okay then.


    PD Lee Jong-soo personally escorted the AWY members to the powder room and whispered to them.


    Hes a bit talkative, but it wont hurt to get along with him.


    Is that so?


    The members answered briefly and moved on. It was obvious that it wouldnt hurt to get along with the broadcasting station CP.


    But Ian didnt forget that Jin was interested in Yoo Joon-hyung. He slowed down his pace and asked PD Lee next to him.


    Who is he?


    [The third son of Baekwoo Daily.]


    Hes the son of the newspaperpanys president.


    Jin and Lee Jong-su said at the same time. Ian opened his mouth.


    Thats interesting.


    Isnt it?


    The son of the newspaperpanys president was a broadcasting station CP It was an unusual career. Ian was about to follow the members into the powder room, but he stopped.


    Wait, if hes the third son of Baekwoo Daily


    [Thats right. I just remembered too.]


    Baekwoo Daily was one of the top three mediapanies. It was not just a good connection to have, but a great one.


    How can I use this


    An opportunity came knocking. The problem was whether there was a butterfly effect or not. Would anything change much if he gave some advice on a few future facts that he already knew?


    You never know until you try.


    The members of AWY who finished their preparations stood in front of the camera. The assistant director handed cue cards to Park Seo-dam and Ian. They nned to fill the broadcast with only AWY members, without any external MCs.


    Hello! Im the youngest of AWY, Seo-dam, who will be hosting Our time!


    Im Ian, the assistant host!


    Park Seo-dam finished the opening and introduced herself. The members pped and cheered. Then, one by one, the members finished their introductions and sat down, waiting for Ian and Park Seo-dam to lead the show.


    We have a reason foring to this studio, and that is AWYs own songwriting survival!


    The staff rolled a whiteboard and ced it behind AWY.


    Is this really adder game?


    Dont we have any mini games or something?


    Ian and Park Seo-dam shook their heads.


    The team assignment ispletely random.


    But since we have designated leaders, the team bnce should be roughly fair.


    Okay, can our leaderse forward?


    Ian gestured, and Lee Joo-hyuk, Park Jin-hyuk, and Kim Ju-young stood side by side.


    Write your names on the top. Do you have anyone you want to team up with?


    You.


    Park Jin-hyuk pointed at Ian. He felt quite good when he was chosen. Ian spoke with a smile in his voice.


    Is there a reason?


    I think it would be easier to work with Ian, since he has some experience inposing.


    Then what about the rest of you? Joo-hyuk hyung?


    Lee Joo-hyuk thought for a moment and said.


    I want Seo-dam. His low voice is really good.


    Park Seo-dam clenched his fist and shouted yes! Ian stood in front of Kim Ju-young.


    What about you, Ju-young?


    I also want Ian. The reason is the same as Jin-hyuk hyung. Its my first timeposing alone, so I need someone to help me.


    But then they seemed to remember the people who were not chosen, and the three of them gathered together and whispered.


    Ah, its hard to choose.


    Tae-woong is also good at writing lyrics these days.


    Thats the same for Hyun. Hes been reading a lot of bookstely. And Hyun is also a survivor of this kind of thing.


    The ones who were picked were eating the sponsored snacks in the back.


    Is there anyone you dont want to team up with?


    Kim Hyun.


    Park Jin-hyuk answered without hesitation. Kim Hyun shouted why! from the back.


    We dont get along.


    Wait, ask us too! I dont want to work with Park Jin-hyuk either!


    Jo Tae-woong, who was sitting next to Kim Hyun and drinking the sponsored carbonated drink, raised his hand.


    Then I also dont want Jin-hyuk hyung. I cant rap, but he seems like he would make me rap.


    Wow, then Im also Jin-hyuks brother!


    Park Seo-dam quickly raised his hand.


    Im the leader, but Jin-hyuk.


    Lee Joo-hyuk joined in and in an instant, all the members pointed to Park Jin-hyuk as the person they didnt want to be in a team with. But Park Jin-hyuk smiled brightly. He seemed to be happy to get attention.


    I saw your very warm gesture of caring for each other.


    Before we assign the teams, let me introduce the judges who will review your songs!


    Ian and Park Seo-dam pointed behind them, and the remaining members looked at therge LED screen behind them.


    The judges are You know this person well. Bluemix!


    Oh, nice.


    Bluemix, who had a connection with Idol Rapper, appeared on the big screen. He was aposer and producer who made a name for himself.


    Next, a person who AWY also knew well appeared on the screen with shy special effects. It was Kim Hee-sang.


    Teacher Kim Hee-sang! But pleasee out for real!


    Wow!


    Ian had given him a hint to take care of his health, and Kim Hee-sang, a legend of the music industry, did not fall behind the trend despite his age.


    And, wow You all must have heard this persons songs, right? The digital music powerhouse Lee Hyuna!


    As Ian spoke, the members collectively eximed in admiration. Even if a fandom-type idol released a song, the chart ranking was below Lee Hyuna. She was a female solo singer who had both poprity and fandom.


    And VI Entertainments CEO, Choi Jimin!


    Huh.


    Choi Jimin, the CEO of VI Entertainment, who was invited by Lee Byung-hunswork, was a producer who had made several of his artists sessful with his innate sense and skills. He was also a first-generation idol.


    And there are also various guest judges, such as ck Rushs Jung Se-jun, Trot Prince Im Tae-woo, and so on, who agreed to join us for the song review.


    Shall we do the team matching that youve been waiting for?


    Before thedder game, the leaders gathered and yed rock-paper-scissors. There were seven people, so thest one was left out. The winner had the privilege of taking the remaining person.


    Rock-paper-scissors!


    Yay!


    As soon as they saw the result, Park Jin-hyuk and Kim Ju-young fell to their knees andy on the floor. Lee Joo-hyuk was jumping around excitedly.


    Ah! Joo-hyuk is overdoing it! Cut it out!


    Joo-hyuk can do well on his own, right?


    They shook their hands and feet and acted like children who wanted to buy toys at the mart, but of course it didnt work.


    Everyone, dont do this and lets see the result of thedder game!


    Right! You might get matched with Ian, who you wanted!


    As soon as they heard that, Park Jin-hyuk and Kim Ju-young sprang up.


    Since itse to this, Ill take Choi Ian.


    No way, hes mine?


    The two argued over the ownership of Ian and looked at the whiteboard with tense expressions.


    Im not an object, you two. Well, lets see thedder game Huh?


    As soon as they saw the result of thedder game, Kim Ju-young put both hands on the back of his head.


    Ah, isnt this a bnce breakdown? Joo-hyuk and Ian!


    What do you mean bnce breakdown? Im here too.


    Kim Hyun was happy to be on the same team as Lee Joo-hyuk. He was already standing next to Lee Joo-hyuk and gesturing for Ian toe over.


    Oh, Seo-dam is good. Not bad.


    Say its good, not bad, hyung.


    Park Jin-hyuk was on the same team as Park Seo-dam.


    Ju-young! I trust only you!


    Ah, Jo Tae-woong Ah


    Kim Ju-young had already fallen into despair. Jo Tae-woong rubbed Kim Ju-youngs shoulder and said.


    No, listen to me. Joo-hyuks team is a strong contender for the win, but the future is still unknown.


    Why do you think so?


    Ian gestured for him to continue.


    What happened to the aveng the revenge-seekers in Project Idol? In the end, another team won, right?


    It was no use sugarcoating it as revenge-seekers, since he had already mentioned Project Idol.


    Uh, are you dissing them?


    No, no, no, thats not what I meant. I was just stating the facts. They were also amazing, but


    In the end, Jo Tae-woong, who fell for Park Seo-dams trap, tried to salvage the situation and shut his mouth. He looked at the PD and quickly made scissors with his hands in the air.


    PD-nim, please edit this out.


    Ill make good use of it.


    Jo Tae-woong made an X-shaped eyebrow. Ian knew well that there wouldnt be any malicious editing, so he smiledfortably.


    Well, thats how we finished the team matching!


    Lets try toplete the song within the given time!


    Ian and Park Seo-dam stood in front of the camera and wrapped up the show. Soon, the camera light went off and the assistant director shouted.


    Thats it for the studio recording!
