Chapter 218 – You’re the King Dragon You Chose, You Have to Believe It, Minji
After a while, the recording studio.
“I’m ready to start recording!”
“Please wait behind in order!”
Among the busy staff, I stood in front of Minji and touched the mask she was wearing.
“Okay, that’s enough. It’s not even pierced, and her face is properly covered.”
“Gwa, it’s okay… Can you see…? Isn’t that strange…?”
“Huh. It’s the King Dragon you chose, you have to believe it, Minji.”
The mask Minji wore was a Tyrannosaurus, which was the result of reflecting Minji’s choice.
I asked to make a mask that looked as strong as possible, but I tried to use the game character as it is, so I stopped it because of copyright.
…I didn’t ask why he liked dinosaurs so much.
It must be the same mentality that little kids like dinosaurs.
There would be no point in asking why.
After touching the mask, I had a question about properly holding the name tag on Minji’s chest that reads ‘King Dragon Girl’.
‘Is this disguise meaningful?’
Even if she covered her face, anyone would know that she was Minji if she was this mid-size.
‘No no, I have to work now, whew.’
After putting away the useless thoughts for a while, he patted Minji on the shoulder, who was still quiet.
“Now, don’t be nervous and just do what you practiced. You’ve been working hard lately, so just keep doing it and you’ll be fine.”
“Yeah… I’ll do my best…”
“Don’t put too much effort into it, and do it moderately.”
“Yes? But… Then…”
“You like that best.”
Anyway, I know Minji’s skills well.
I know very well how distorted her song is when a child who isn’t great is forced into it.
It’s best to just sing as usual rather than putting in effort and singing.
It’s scary that Minji will make a mistake while trying hard.
“Minji, as you know, it’s not just about watching the songs on this show.”
‘Mask Idol’.
This broadcast, a mystery singer program in which idols put on masks and sing on stage, was in vogue for a long time, so it was not just about singing.
After showing off your singing ability with a song, you have to talk about this and that with the judges, do missions, and show off your talent as much as possible by showing off your charm.
‘Of course, the song is the number one evaluation criterion…’
Anyway, with Minji’s skills right now, she can’t beat the others with singing.
“Sing moderately, then do your best in missions, conversations, and talent shows.”
“Is that okay…? Singing is the most important broadcast…”
“No, the most important thing is not the song.”
Minji tilts her head at my words.
“Making fun for the fans watching this show is the most important thing.”
In the first place, it is a broadcast only for idols.
People who watch it want to see idols, and it is also a broadcast that aims to promote idols, so there is no need to worry too much about general viewers or judges.
If you shoot a show that satisfies the fans who will watch it, that’s perfect.
“Yes…!”
Above all, this will be the biggest motivation for Minji now.
“Start recording the broadcast! Everyone except the contestants, please leave!”
“Okay then, fighting, Minji.”
I finally left the waiting room.
On the way out, I glanced inside and saw Honey Girls’ Soo-ae standing alone in the far corner.
You were alone when you came in, but are you still alone?
What does Manager Park do without taking care?
‘The manager’s condition was strange… Am I just letting it go?’
Manager Park is nice, but I’m just worried about the kid.
***
Standing in the auditorium reserved for officials and watching the idols perform on stage, the order passed quickly.
“The third contestant of the mask idol, I will serve you!”
“Wow… !”
Clap clap clap.
At the announcement of the presenter, the audience took action as they learned, and she accompanied him to a small girl wearing a bee-shaped mask on the stage.
It was Soo-ae, the youngest member of the Honey Girls.
‘How well do you want to do it?’
After hearing the unimaginable proposal from the CEO and Yu Ga-hye, I have watched their stage video several times.
I remember that it was a very passable and ordinary stage performance.
Among the dogs, what was that girl named Soo-ae like?
I don’t remember at all.
‘Then it didn’t really have an impact…’
There was no impact, and the manager in charge now is in a very bad condition, and he is anxious in many ways.
It’s someone else’s business, but I’m worried because it’s next door.
“Then, let’s begin.”
While she was lost in her thoughts, Soo-ae started singing.
“Every time I breathe through her shoulder~”
The song she chose was a song by a solo singer popular in the 90s.
Unlike songs these days, it sounds like it’s easy to sing because of its calm tempo, but that’s why it’s hard to pick a song if you’re not confident in your singing ability, as it’s a song that brings out that feeling only when your singing skills stand out.
“Another love blooms…”
‘Does he sing well?’
As soon as I heard the first two syllables, I felt it.
This kid, she sings pretty well.
She’s worse than Soye or Haeun, but much better than Minji.
It’s to the point where I think I’m stupid for worrying just now.
“Oh, it feels good.”
“Mmmm.”
Celebrities who served as judges listened to the song while nodding their heads as if they were thinking the same thing as me.
“But it’s love for the first time…”
Soon after the song ends, Soo-ae nods and says hello.
Clap clap clap.
The judges immediately applauded her greeting.
They cheered and responded very enthusiastically.
“Hey, the song is good!”
“Are you young?”
“Is there anyone who still has this level of singing ability? I thought I had called all the good people!”
Soo-ae stood there silently receiving her praise.
“Good, very good. Our… ‘Bee Lady’, the judges’ reaction is very good. First of all, shall we ask why you chose this song?”
“I chose it because I thought I could sing it well.”
“Oh, it’s a skill pick, a vocal appeal.”
“…”
And Soo-ae finished her words there and became quiet.
“But he was right when he said that he could sing well. The song was really good and I liked it.”
“That’s right, it was delicious to hear.”
The atmosphere almost became awkward, but the host and judges are professional.
They exchanged lines among themselves and smoothly passed the order to the next.
“Come to think of it, I heard there’s something else you want to show me?”
“Yes, I have prepared a dance. We will start now.”
“Ah, please sing right away!”
At the words of the host who wanted her to show off her talents, Soo-ae straightened up and started moving.
The host was embarrassed and asked for her background music, and the background music was laid in a hurry to follow her dance.
The judges who saw it covered this look well as expected.
Haha, Mr. Bee is in a hurry?”
“I wish I could show you how much I dance…”
Soo-ae was also quite outstanding in her dancing skills.
At least in her skill, which was definitely better than Minji’s, her sense of rhythm and moderation stood out.
‘I wonder if this was sent out to compare with Minji?’
Seeing her skills, I can understand why Soo-ae and Min-ji rushed to be on the same show.
She was trying to use her Minji to cheer up Soo-ae a little.
Since Soo-ae has good skills and low reputation, she must have tried to make people impress by comparing her with Min-ji.
“Okay, the dance was good. You are a very talented person!”
“…”
Soo-ae still doesn’t respond to the host’s words.
It is said that even applause makes a sound when met, and no matter how much the judges and hosts tried to raise the mood and continue the conversation, Soo-ae didn’t respond, so her turn ended quickly.
She finished it in half the time compared to the previous two.
It’s a pity in many ways that I can’t show you other than that, even though you have good skills.
“Okay then, next, let’s invite the 4th mask idol~!”
Okay, finally it’s Minji’s turn.
‘Come on, Minji. Show me.’
It is she who has re-realized her heart of being for her fans.
Unlike Soo-ae in the past, she will be able to show the way she lives in people’s hearts.
Knock knock.
Her footsteps could be heard in the distance, and Minji, wearing a familiar Tyrannosaurus mask, passed through the door to the waiting room behind it.
‘Hmmmm, Minji, fighting.’
Now is the time to show your awakened self.
I watched her position carefully, full of anticipation.
“Hyauk!?”
And Minji, who was on the stage, fell.
***
Quadang!
Park Min-ji, who was caught on the small chin as she climbed onto the stage, fell forward.
It was because of his Tyrannosaurus mask, and thanks to his big breasts, he couldn’t see the bottom at all.
If it’s fortunately out of all the misfortunes, it’s because my chest has become a cushion, so I’m not hurt at all.
No, I was hurt in one place.
‘Me, what am I doing…!’
Just the heart.
‘To make such a mistake…’
I’ll show you now, the changed me.
I will work hard for the fans who love me.
Because it was Park Min-ji who was full of such a heart, I couldn’t help but be quite ashamed of the mistake I made now.
She introduces herself in her first class as a new high school student, but this time, it feels similar to the day when she was made fun of after overdoing it because she wanted to show a new image.
But…
“Are you okay!?”
The host came to Minji Park in embarrassment, and Minji Park immediately jumped up and nodded her head.
“Are you okay!”
It’s different from that time.
In the past, when people were made fun of, they withered away, but not now.
There are fans who like me, and most of all, there are oppas, right?
I can get up right away and perform on stage.
Park Min-ji stood up vigorously and went up on stage again.
“Hey!?”
And she moved so gallantly that she fell again.
