Chapter 75

Chapter 75

“Ah, hungry.”

“Uh, Cha Seoha later after filming ends want to go eat hamburger?”

“You eat this pig.”

“...You finished words now?”

Grasped victory and came down to backstage.

As my expectation Destruction prepared the round concentrating only on musicality.

Proved to audience how cool band themselves.

Audience judges raised our hands who fun played together.

Strategy with thick gambling nature but not difficult match.

“Hey, Kang Min.”

Trying to return to waiting room familiar voice heard from behind.

Im Hyeontaek’s voice.

Turning back Im Hyeontaek walking toward us.

Camera all filming surely not trying to do bad thing.

Im Hyeontaek briefly taking time.

Kang Min not answering and looking at him unpleasantly.

Sighed deeply then continued words.

“...Sorry at that time.”

“Yes?”

Too unexpected development.

Momentarily Kang Min’s sullen expression also loosened.

“Hey, said sorry.”

“Uh, what. Yeah. Then.”

Attitude quite bad for apology but seemed not attitude arising from bad heart.

Just that person originally crooked.

And Kang Min roughly answered because that attitude of Im Hyeontaek and sudden situation overlapped.

“And you.”

This time me.

“Will do well on own, but if do do properly. Got it?”

What meaning contained in those words?

Since we beat Destruction meaning go up high so themselves not shameful?

Surface-wise heard so but somehow more meaning contained behind that.

“Will do well on own so no need to care.”

Could have accepted well but didn’t want to.

Because the guy who hit my friend’s cheek.

“Yeah, work hard.”

Like that Destruction returned to waiting room and we also moved steps to waiting room.

Im Hyeontaek’s words of if do do properly.

Until I accurately understand those words not taking that long time.

Production team who confirmed Oktap’s victory more fuss than on site.

“Wow, Oktap won. If like this no need to twist narrative.”

“Okay. Immediately catch editing direction, this have to maintain topicality misunderstanding so lay Destruction narrative a bit too. Not look too bad guy.”

“Yes, then Jo Seonghun Band?”

“There moderately cut short Jo Seonghun Band no narrative so ambiguous to use. And Oktap now amount tremendously many.”

“Understood.”

Production team when confirming rehearsal anticipated Oktap would lose.

But Oktap unlike expectation presented tremendous stage and lightly pressed Destruction.

For this excellent scene have to solidly lay the narrative until right before.

Production team already in the midst of fully expecting the public’s reaction.

* * *

Main round 1st ended and final Top 9 decided.

And while session battle and 1vs1 battle proceeding over 2 weeks Who’s The Real’s episode 2 and 3 publicized.

In episode 2 Oktap’s metal arranged version publicized.

Oktap who broke away from image close to popular music until now and showed sincere stage.

Overall evaluation good but Park Cheolhwan judge’s ‘clothes that don’t suit’ remark after stage emphasized and reflected on broadcast.

And Im Hyeontaek’s smirking appearance continuing that scene.

Arrogant attitude continuing even pointing finger but in fact that not toward Oktap.

Scene production team appropriately cut and attached, that quite plausibly edited and directed as if criticizing toward Oktap no matter who looks.

After episode 2 ended reaction about the program quite hot.

Especially in band community stories about Oktap mainly forming.

-Wow Oktap does such well too?

-Just arranged as raw metal and brought originally release as such

└If just released as metal who listens in Korea lolol

└ㅇㅈ We fine but wouldn’t enter chart?

-Except Park Cheolhwan other judges extreme praise what you ㅅㅂ not good or something? Room corner experts really fucking disgusting

-But as Park Cheolhwan’s words Cha Seoha vocal a bit not matching feel there

└Is that so? Honestly I thought a bit unfair

└Tone deaf? lolol What unfair just listening metal ㅈㄴ not done feel strongly coming

└Because trying not done became like that just continue popular music

-In my view Oktap popular music one tool so probably can’t go up high

-Wow Oktap fucking awesome honestly did best in 1st?

-As Park Cheolhwan’s words not particularly suiting feel just better continuing songs like Rendezvous

-No that degree done what more you wanting? Not swayed by Park Cheolhwan’s words really sincerely thinking so?

└ㅇㅈ Everyone ears how became why criticizing that stage? Still just dislike Oktap?

Opinions about Oktap half and half.

Half people listening to veteran like Park Cheolhwan’s words and accepting.

Half people evaluating stage as conviction and highly valuing Oktap’s stage.

Such public opinion fought hot offense and defense for a week.

One more week passed and Who’s The Real’s episode 3 publicized.

In the relevant episode 1vs1 mission proceeded and Oktap’s order who prepared Michael Jackson’s song publicized at the end of this episode.

-Hello. We are Oktap.

Oktap matching outfit with neat shirt and semi-suit pants.

Oktap’s appearance standing on stage contained in full shot and after that screen transitioned to waiting room.

-Wow! Look at those clothes what?

-Matched prettily? Because like that idol controversy arises.

-Wow really seems idol? Even matched clothes and came.

-Wow, those cool?

-Tsk... Surely not trying to sing something like ballad?

Waiting room stirring at excellent visual.

Appropriately mixed reactions of people thinking Oktap cool and people mocking not suiting rock and reflected.

After cast’s reaction Oktap’s 2nd stage publicized.

Oktap digesting Michael Jackson’s song.

Early playing overall clean and plain and no particular arrangement usable as weapon or stimulating direction.

Ensemble faithful to basics.

Appearance of judges nodding or smiling satisfactorily and appreciating the stage appropriately inserted.

And appearance of cast sitting in waiting room and watching the stage also reflected.

-Um, not bad.

-Fine?

-Clean. Ah, so wore clothes like that? Michael Jackson song.

-There was reason in clothes. If like that acknowledge.

-But arrangement almost none more than thought? Not cover level that?

-Wow, but even basics really tremendously clean.

-Unexpected Oktap not bringing arrangement that degree.

Appropriately mixing cast and judges’ reactions Oktap’s stage continued.

And latter part.

As Cha Seoha’s choreography part who quickly wore fedora and jacket and appeared from behind the stage started judges’ seats caught in full shot.

-Waha!!

-Wow, dancing?

-Oh...?

-What, dancing very well?

Cha Seoha wearing fedora and jacket excellently digested choreography.

And pointed finger toward Park Cheolhwan who gave them ‘Fake’ sticker in the last round and made rebellious expression.

Naturally the relevant scene clearly shown crossing with Park Cheolhwan’s appearance.

Direction as if expressing the two people’s confrontation.

Park Cheolhwan smiling as if dumbfounded.

And Cha Seoha as if watch us clearly.

And screen moved to waiting room again.

-Wow, what what dancing that well?

-Hey, pointing finger at judge?

-Very rebellious. That rock right.

-No, really not idol?

-Originally trainee? Dancing well to the degree strange?

-Idol band controversy not for nothing as expected.

-Wow no, but really tremendously well dancing? How did?

Cha Seoha’s choreography part ended and Heo Junseong’s excellent guitar solo continued.

Until the end Oktap not losing concentration and presented excellent stage.

Then the scene after continued to other cast’s personal interviews.

First Damjang Party’s Dampa.

-How saw Oktap’s stage?

-No, thought Cha Seoha that person only does music well but danced amazingly? Ah, really watched very well, really highest!

Following a few people’s personal impressions continued and continued to Im Hyeontaek’s answer.

-Coming out on band audition and dancing a bit...

After answer Im Hyeontaek flowing faint mock together with Jeong Bowoon sitting beside.

And transitioned to Maruru Band’s Yoon Jeonga scene.

-Well, not bad.

Her dry answer.

Answer unable to know intention but production team holding clear intention.

With that last Oktap and opposing team’s appearance waiting for judging result on stage appeared.

“This round’s winner is...”

-To be continued Next week!

-Who’s the Real?

Episode 3 ended postponing winner disclosure to next week.

Right after broadcast ended.

That day community fuss arose.
