Entertainment: The strongest newcomer in the heyday of Nantu

[Moment (S): Self-portrait ability increases dramatically (Charm +5)]

Expectation is the characteristic of S level... What comes out is only an increase in self-portrait ability. I was really speechless and just rolled on the bed like that.

"Uh, give me something good."

The characteristics have been used well in every competition, so I think it would be great if good characteristics can appear this time.

To be honest, I am more looking forward to the effects of the B-level characteristics of Dance God and Dance King and other A-level characteristics.

"

It is doubtful whether"selfie power" can really be called S level.

But it is too early to make a decision now. I started to observe other characteristics in order. Starting with C level

【Qing Xin Huan (C): Can calm tension on stage (once a day, duration: 1 minute). (confidence +1)】

[Rich You (C): Get Rich Hair (Confidence +1)]

There are only two C levels."But neither of these are the characteristics I need"""Qing Xin Wan" may not be bad, but it lasts for a short time and there is no hair loss at the beginning, so"Abundant You" doesn't count either... The next observation is B grade

[Telepathy (B): Can grasp hidden meanings well. (Increase the intimacy of a specific person by +2)]

[Human Calculator (B): Can calculate quickly (confidence +2)]

[I am a heater (B): can keep the body warm (satisfaction +2)]

[Expression management (B): Know how to have a good poker face (thick-skinned +2)]

[Boosters on my feet (B): Run faster. (Agility +2)]

[Breath of the Mongol (B): Vision increases slightly. (Clearness +2)]

Then after confirming all B-level characteristics, I despaired

"Why don't you even have the ability value for your job?"

When I was selecting characteristics, most of them were characteristics that could be used on the stage. Judging from the characteristics I selected this time, I was just lucky at the time.

But it wasn't just useless things. In fact, I also wanted"I am"stove" characteristics. I am more afraid of cold.

Before making a decision, I confirmed the A-level characteristics

[Protagonist on stage (A): Attracts 1.6 times more attention from the audience on stage. (Talent +3)]

"Wow……"

But the last remaining A-level characteristic of hope is the"protagonist on stage" who was selected last time. So...repeated

"No luck either."

First, in order to make a clear decision, we took out the existing 3 features

[The memory of first love (A): the hazy atmosphere of first love (appearance +1, charm +2)]

[Protagonist on stage (A): Attracts 1.6 times more attention from the audience on stage. (Talent +3)]

[Dance God and Dance King (B): The time to learn dance is shortened by 1.2 times, and the accuracy of movements is increased by 1.2 times. (Dance +2)

Also, among the characteristics selected this time, if you want to pick a useful one……

[I am a heater (B): can keep the body warm (satisfaction +2)]

[Moment (S): Self-portrait ability rises sharply (Charm +5)]

There are probably two of these.

……No need to worry anymore. I just wanted to delete all other features, but suddenly I paused when I thought of it.

"If it is repeated, can it be synthesized?"

Although I haven't played many games, I always felt like that. I chose"Protagonist on Stage" and looked around to see if there were other functions.

Then when I clicked on the new"Protagonist on Stage" I selected this time, the"Protagonist on Stage" appeared in front of me. a new hologram

[Do you want to combine the characteristics of 'Protagonist on stage (A)'?]

[Necessary conditions: 'Protagonist on stage (A)' 2 characteristics (2/2)]

[YES│NO]

I thought about it for a while, and it was true.

Click YES and the new features flash before your eyes

[Synthesis successful!]

[Got the real hero(s) on stage’]

[The real protagonist(s) on the stage: Focus the audience’s attention twice on the stage. (Talent +5)]

‘……!’

When I saw that the characteristics changed to S-level, I cheered in my heart.

"Repetition is a good thing instead."

It also achieved considerable results when it was 1.6 times, and now the number has increased by 2 times. Maybe this feature is really effective.

I was very satisfied and looked at the other S-level features I just drew.

[Moment (S): Self-portrait strength rises dramatically (Charm +5)]

This is also S-level, so I want to take it away... It's not clear yet. Personally, I think I would rather have the body-warming properties.

I thought about how to use this feature for a while

"In terms of selfie prowess...it should be a photo card."

In idol culture, there is something called a photo card. When buying an album, you randomly take a few selfies of the members.

Because it is random, the photo you want does not appear. When using cards, they will be exchanged or sold with others.

But the problem is... because the price is not fixed, the price of photo cards is determined by a thorough market economic structure.

Generally, the more popular members of the team, the more The higher the price, the better the photos, the more expensive the price. And the rarer the photo card, the more expensive the price.

Also, if you are looking for that extreme example... maybe Witters.

At that time, photos were taken through SNS Kim Won-do, who caused the drama, is famous for his extremely expensive photos. The selfies are so beautiful that they even stimulate the desire of other fans to collect them. The basic price is 20,000 won, and a rare photo card can cost 500,000 won by accident.

"At first, Core fans are relatively solid, and they also take good selfies, but of course they are very expensive."

I just continued thinking hastily like that, and I was shocked.

…Wait, isn't this a better feature?

Although the price is not everything...but a photo exceeding 500,000 won and 1 million won means there is so much demand.

In the idol version, photo card culture plays a large role.

What, I heard that I also carry it with me when I eat recently. It seems pointless to discuss the importance here.

So, if you can take a lot of beautiful photos with atmosphere because of this feature, consumer satisfaction will be higher.

""Decided"

I didn't think it was that important at first, but I just changed my mind. After I decided to give up the"Memory of First Love" trait, I changed the trait to"Instant Moment".

I also really wanted the body-warming trait. , but I couldn't give up"Dancing God", so I decided to give up.

Delete everything else.

I finished the work of changing the characteristics and took a long rest.

The next day.

LnT's new office building arrived for the concept planning meeting.

Except It was the first time that I had visited for the end-of-month evaluation. I walked into the conference room and saw staff from various departments gathered together.

The meeting started without delay.

The first person to bring it up was the leader of the AR team.

"In fact, the debut date was set for the first half of next year, but it changed after an internal meeting. The program was already very good, and now its topicality has reached its peak. I think it would be good to debut as early as possible."

I also thought that the debut date will be in the first half of next year, so I listened to her quietly... How long did it take?

"So we internally set the debut date on August 22nd.……"

"Ahem - ah, sorry."

The first person to react to the group leader's words was Bae Seung-yeon, who was sitting in the corner drinking coffee. He apologized for interrupting unintentionally.

But what was alarming about her words was whether the other members were also staring at her

"As for August 22...it will be two months later."

Because there is a debut schedule in the first half of next year, it is 5 months ahead of schedule.

It is not a comeback album, the debut album only took 2 months to prepare

"Is it too hasty?"

Li Kangbin carefully expressed his opinions.

"We thought so too, but the producer said the sound source was almost finished……"

Before the team leader finished speaking, the eyes of the members and other staff were attracted to Pei Chengyan. In that sight, Pei Chengyan took the coffee cup she drank from her mouth and replied:

"I produced several of the tracks in the sound source, and I am currently arranging them with my brothers who are composers. After the candidate songs are completed, just vote for the title song immediately"

"Really……"

The answer I got from him was that the song was ready. In fact, it doesn't seem entirely impossible to have an album out in two months if you just prepare the songs.

But the problem is……

"This year's Newcomer Award" can only be completed if I win the Newcomer Award at the year-end award ceremony.

Since the deadline is until next year, I thought I would debut next year. If I debut in two months, I will aim for this year's Newcomer Award.

Here There is a big ambush.

It’s because there are new boy groups who debuted with brilliant results this year.

""Tina" is a five-member hip-hop boy group launched by YJ, centered around underground rapper Yoo Ji-hyuk. It initially sold 300,000 copies and entered the top 90 of the TOP100 music charts, peaking at No. 85.

Won a double crown in music programs with its debut album Wang, suddenly gained the modifier of a monster newcomer.

If you ask what an amazing achievement this is... it can be explained that among the currently active boy groups, there are less than 5 groups that have entered the music charts.

The fourth generation boy group It is also rare to win a double crown in a music program with a debut album. Of course, although it did not win first place in a public television music program that has a higher proportion of music source scores. In fact, it can be said that this year’s boy group rookie award has won an astonishing number.

If you debut this year, you will have to compete for the Newcomer Award.

Even for those who debuted in the first half of the year, there is a high possibility of releasing a second album in the second half of the year. But in comparison, our debut album this time is very It may be the last album of this year.

It’s risky in many ways.

But because of the Newcomer Award, I can’t say anything about postponing my debut. Although it’s an important issue for me now that my life is at stake...

From other people’s point of view , it doesn’t matter even if I get the Newcomer Award.

Regardless of my complicated feelings, the meeting continued

"First of all, before discussing the style of the debut album... I want to decide on one first."

It was the AR team leader who continued to lead the meeting.

"Although this is an issue that needs to be discussed with the publicity team first, I would also like to hear the opinions of the members."

Before she got down to business, she said she wanted to hear the members' opinions.

"After the show ended, the two months before the release of the debut album were blurry. Hoping to keep it topical no matter what during this time, any thoughts?"

The album release has been advanced 5 months. In these two months, the topic seems to be very regrettable."

"I heard that Viral has a part-time job in marketing and is currently recruiting."

"Yes, marketing continues. But I still want to show something in the content section."

The first person mentioned was Bae Seung-yeon. He came with new information he didn't know where he heard it from, and asked her.

I listened to her words and thought about it carefully.

There are still about 8 weeks left before the debut. In the rush of preparing the album In the schedule, while showing rich content, the image of the members should not be consumed too much.

"What content will other groups show you when they are trainees?"

It's not uncommon to start promoting in the company as a trainee.

There are cases where cover songs are uploaded on the company or the tube account, and there are also cases where backup dancers are set up in the music room of the senior group.

Overall, it is not very common. However, in order to create a sense of anticipation and mystery for the next newcomer, generally they have not shown their faces since before their debut.

……But we've shown up through talent shows and it's not the same as us

"Can you pull out some of the content that you will be working on after your debut?"

Everyone was troubled. It was Li Zhiyou who came up with the idea first. In response to his question, the team leader replied that he seemed to have remembered something.

"ah! In fact, when we were preparing our debut album, we originally wanted to make short documentaries about individual members. In the form of a video that reveals the true story from the formation of the debut group to the debut in your lifebuoy."

Documentary.

This is a pretty good plan. In the idol industry where communication has become important, this is one of the opportunities to convey the sincerity of the members.

If it is made public before the debut album is released, the influence may be weakened.

But if it is If it is released before debut, the effect may be reduced. I agree with what Lee Kang Bin said.

Idols are a profession that conveys information on the stage, so it is a bit dangerous to release the documentary first. It is very suitable to listen to the voice of"Essential Arm".

Is there anything...is there anything? What about content that is simple and not too image-consuming?

Although it is good to release cover songs...it has been shown many times on the show, so there will be nothing new.

8 weeks since debut, 8 weeks

"ah"

"Hye Hyun?"

I said something unintentionally, and everyone's eyes were focused here. I was suddenly attracted by everyone's eyes and felt very embarrassed, so I just said it with a smile.

"There are 7 members, and there are still 8 weeks until debut, so based on the public notice one week before the debut, it would be good to release a member's personal Vlog every week... although it is a bit cliche."

Vlogs before debut are actually content that trainees who have gained recognition through talent shows often display content.

Although it is very cliché, the image consumption is not large, and it does not take much time to produce the content, so it feels good.

So I said it... everyone just looked at me blankly and had no reaction.

"What happened."

If the idea is not good, just quit it all at once. It will be quite embarrassing if there is no response.

I couldn't stand the atmosphere, so I wanted to take back my words again, but it was the team leader who hurriedly said it.
