[Then, thank you so much for watching today~ Maybe the next broadcast will be audition time!]
[Everyone, please give us a lot of support~ Rubaluba~]
Leaving behind the viewers plastered with emoticons as if asking where to go, I pressed the end button and let out a deep sigh.
Ah… what should I do…
It wasn’t boiling, but if superiority and inferiority were accurately determined, I tried to complete that song and go.
But since the voting results were almost half and half, it felt more disturbing than when I didn’t ask.
Still, viewers told me a lot about what was good about each song through donna chat, so I opened a notepad and organized it one by one.
The public’s evaluation is that number 1 is right if you want to appeal to your idol-like personality, and number 2 is right if your goal is to just let the voice of a person named Luka be heard.
Ugh… I really don’t know…
Throwing myself on the bed, I stared at the ceiling with a blank face.
“Well… it’s amazing that you came all the way here.”
About 200 applicants applied, but 180 failed to pass the second audition.
i.e. 20 people. It was said that only 10 percent survived.
In the third round, it was announced that half of them, 10, would be dropped, and in the final, it was said that the number of people who would pass was undecided.
When I took out my phone and checked my personal gram, the photos from Minji’s birthday party the other day had been uploaded.
Minji blows out the candles on the cake with a reddened face.
The motives who are clapping for good next to them.
“…that must have been fun.”
I honestly wanted to go.
It was because he was on good terms with Minji, and the other classmates who went out to drink were quite close.
But now, I had to be careful with my body like a student taking any exam.
I wondered if I had to go this far, but it was hard to think that failing the audition was just my failure.
I was doing my best to take care of myself because I believed that the many viewers who supported me would feel the same bitterness I felt.

When I turn on the messenger to the ringing cell phone vibrate, what greets me is a delivery app coupon.
To be honest, I knew that no one would contact me, but I felt bad for no reason.
There were times when I would suffer from such an empty feeling after turning off the broadcast.
Should I say it feels like being in a noisy place and then returning to an uninhabited island with the press of a button?
As I scrolled down the screen, an unread message caught my eye.
[Major Team (12)]
…team play with Taemin oppa.
Come to think of it, the Taemin oppa I met the other day seemed a bit strange.
Originally, I knew that I was a very reticent and silent person, but my brother asked me various questions.
However, the conversation did contain a bit of a forced feeling rather than a natural talk.
I confessed then, so I did it to create a group atmosphere so that it wouldn’t be awkward on purpose…
I can’t even do that
Every time I spoke to her, it was me who was much more embarrassed than meticulous consideration.
Just pretend you don’t know as if nothing happened… Oppa…
“Ah… I don’t know, I don’t know…”
It was a part that I couldn’t openly talk about even if I had to use my heart alone.
And, of course, the audition right in front of me came first rather than the man who dumped me.
“I need to practice singing…”
Another lonely night passed like that.

It was this summer that YM, a large entertainment agency, announced the development of metaverse idols.
[YM Virtual Idol Public Audition]
In fact, since it was a company that produced many famous idols, people were very curious about what kind of impact their new challenge and investment would have.
The slogan of this project put forward by YM is [CLOSER]
It is true that the two-way communication between fans and idols has become more active than in the old days, but they said that they are challenging closer communication than that.
[Most of the idols so far have been working hard to stand on stage through a long period of training at the company.]
[In a way, this elaborate process can be seen as patterned and fixed through time.]
[So we will present a completely different paradigm.]
[We will show you a new concept of virtual reality idol.]
[We will try to get closer to the public in the most advanced way.]
[CLOSER! Please look forward to it!]
Surprisingly, what they started recruiting was not singer trainees or idol aspirants, but virtual streamers using virtual avatars.
Of course, if it were pure streamers who participated in the audition, that wasn’t the case.
Of course, there were many aspiring singers who were in a hurry to get their avatars, and those who participated to get attention and attract aggro gathered in large numbers, just like any other audition program.
And in the 1st and 2nd auditions, YM set up a fairly unconventional screening standard.
The first was a scene that appealed to one’s own broadcasting history and style, but those who started broadcasting in a hurry had to suffer the fate of being eliminated like autumn leaves.
A company with a firm intention to recruit only new employees with experience.
The broadcasting period wasn’t that long, but Luca got quite good reviews in the first episode.
[First of all, I would like to give you a good score in that your concept is quite solid. It seems that the time and period of broadcasting have been observed.]
[I haven’t heard the song yet, but the voice itself has an overwhelming feeling. The feeling most similar to the category of the so-called ‘good voice’ we talk about.]
[I will pass.]
After the first audition, Luca succeeded in making his name more widely known.
In fact, the number of viewers for individual broadcasts also increased, and all existing viewers were sincerely cheering for Luca’s challenge.
The time left until the 3rd audition is about 5 hours.
The community was already buzzing about the contestants coming out today.
[Only the Pingtuk team should enter.]
As a member of the Jinseong Pingtuk group with the highest subscription tier, I clicked on the article without hesitation.
[Honestly, if it’s not the first song I did on the last broadcast, I don’t see any hope today.]
is this kid?
I couldn’t stand it when I even asked him to sing twice.
[No, I have to go to a ballad. What are you talking about?]
⤷ [Really, don’t call yourself Pingtukdan.]
My blood pressure continued to rise at the reply that followed.
[Even if I knew Luca more than you, I would know a lot more. What are you talking about?]
⤷ [hahahaha]
My hands and feet are shaking.
no. I haven’t even started auditioning yet, but he’s freaking out.
[Anything about the T-itch nickname. What is your subscription tier? you.]
To be honest, I knew that it was ugly to be hiding behind a mask of anonymity at this age after going all the way to the military, but no, but what should I do to touch that bastard first?
Even if I put up with slander or insults against me, I couldn’t stand the fact that my sincerity as a Lucca fan was ignored.
[I’m angry because you touched the highest achievement of your life.]
…Yumma!
He banged the desk with his fist.
Haa… The air current flowed, not that the real talker had been around for a day or two.
He was a funny kid.
He provoked the influx first and fought back…
I felt as if I had been hit in the stomach by the fact that this was the greatest achievement of my life.
oh, that sucks
I just didn’t want to deal with it anymore, so I hit the back button.
Another Lucca related article below.
[Conviction] Luca is a bit…]
I went in to see what else this guy had to say…
[Hakko days were cuter.]
⤷[Ah. this is ㅇㅇ]
He’s a kid who knows something.
Lucca’s very early days of broadcasting.
Luka, when less than 100 people saw him, was different from now.
I was the type to see almost every single chat, and it was more often that I was shaken by it.
Let’s say who was burp that day, don’t you hold on to that and explain for 30 minutes?
Seeing him whining and denying it, the viewers were happy again and continued to tease Luca.
Do you have any clips of that…
I’ll have to go see it again
Luca didn’t officially run a video channel, so Luca’s fans usually posted clips online.
[Ah~ Guys, it’s really not~ No. Why am I burping!]
[This is just the sound of pushing a chair, so take this. oh really. No… Ha ha…]
The pink-haired avatar shook her head as if it were unfair.
[Really… I hate everyone…]
A raspy voice came out of the speaker.
cute.
so cute.
I felt like I was drowning in the cuteness.
Thinking that it would be a global loss for the real Luca to become an idol, I scraped through the list of related videos below and waited for the official audition broadcast.
