[116] Girls On Top (3)

There are several words that describe Seo Yeon-jung.

Read at noblemtl.com

Korea’s representative female singer, Queen.

Co-CEO of Q&G label.

Official judge and sole MC of 「Girls on Top」.

As she emerged, her 80 girls shouted.

“Waaa—!”

“Kyaaagh—!!”

CEO Seo looked at the girls in each ranking and said,

“Everyone, who am I?”

“Queen!!”

“Where am I?”

“Girls on top—!!”

I sat in the judges’ seat and stared at the MC.

I bet my right hand that the queen was broadcasting to do this.

“Chief, aren’t you nervous?”

Somi fidgeted beside her and attached her words.

“Ugh, I think I’m going to die of nervousness.”

“Everybody does.”

“Go to the bathroom, Sipper.”

“… Hold on a little.”

Actually, I got it.

Somi is now only a sophomore in high school.

‘I’m scared too.’

She now believes she has the back of her head and says she sits in the judges’ seat.

If she wasn’t 2 thousand per synagogue she never would have come up here.

“Hmm, that’s amazing.”

Diana said, looking at the ‘ranking table’ where the contestants were sitting.

“We’re just sitting here.”

“…”

It’s only been 2 years since Solar debuted.

She’s a Billboard producer or she couldn’t produce.

“Dohana, how is your brother’s skill?”

“Emma? Just sing R&B.”

“… Specifically.”

“I have a soul, but I don’t have a soul.”

“Well.”

Yes. I just won’t ask.

“Are you preparing for the mission song right now? What the writer ordered.”

“Yes. I just need 5 individual songs and a melody.”

“I’ll get that from Publishing.”

“Thanks.”

Meanwhile, besides Somi and Dohana, there are three older sister lines.

The members were having a serious discussion.

“You guys, now analyzing who will get an A grade…”

“Because Ethereum is good these days.”

“No, when I look at it, it looks like a mole coin.”

“I’m going to Mars.”

“…”

Who is the instigator

“Yeji, what are you talking about so much fun?”

“Ah, chief!

“Was it Yang Joo-hee?”

“Umm, originally, when Joo-hee gets stuck on something, she works hard.”

“… Tell them to do it in moderation.”

“Yes.”

MC Queen was still having a good time with the girls with good reactions.

Looking at the expression, I think it’s steamed happiness.

Even if you make a gag, you’re going to crack me up.

“Now, everyone! It’s time for ratings.”

“Uh-uh-“

“I hope everyone gets A grades!”

“Wow!”

It sounds like you’re playing with real children.

“Then, the ratings begin now!”

“Waaa—!!!”

The queen walked to the judges’ seat behind the shouts of 80 people.

“Oh, it was fun.”

“… You see.”

“Okay?”

“Yeah.”

If he was a man, he might have thought he was a pervert.

“Chief Jeong, do you have any friends you keep an eye on?”

“I’ve told you before.”

“Ah, the friend who sits in second place over there.”

“Yes. Emma.”

In an instant, Diana opened her eyes and looked at me.

“Is that enough?”

“…”

I don’t know because I haven’t heard the song.

Personality peculiar, tickling the back of the head.

“First, let’s check the rating stage.”

“Like.”

The Queen called the first contestant by name.

Of course, the order was chosen by the production team.

“Nam Min-ji, please come up on stage.”

A friend who sat at the top of the pyramid as soon as he started.

It took the top spot in the pre-popularity poll.

“It’s a visual center.”

“I know.”

Innocent and lovely appearance, fair skin, and flowing hair.

A contestant who eats half with his face and enters.

I think you can join the agency right away.

“Hello! I’m Minji Nam, a freshman at Seogwang Art High School!”

“Somi Hubanga.”

Nam Min-ji added a word with her eyes sparkling.

“Thank you! Senior!!!”

“Ahh, is your junior here?”

“Yes!”

It’s a fox What is it that mixes aegyo with the tone of voice?

“You trained for 3 years at Big Boss?”

“Yes. The debut group was cancelled, but we worked really hard!”

“Is it a release?”

“No, I came out on my own.”

“Okay. Shall we enjoy the stage Minji Nam prepared?”

“Ah yes!”

The staff set the stage with the Queen’s progress.

“I prepared the half moon of Luna sunbaenims!”

“Alone?”

“Yeah!”

It wouldn’t be easy to prepare a song for a 4-member group by yourself.

Shortly thereafter, Nam Min-ji takes a position to prepare for the choreography.

The stage started with the flowing accompaniment.

“Whoa.”

“Mmm.”

Vocals that are clearly like and dislike.

It was a captivating and sticky tone.

“This is so big…!”

The queen spat out her admiration as if her taste had been properly sniped.

‘…Why?’

It suits my taste really well, but it tickles the back of my head.

‘The personality problem…?’

I don’t think so.

If you see that the signal came in the middle of the stage, not when you were speaking.

* * *

Nam Min-ji took the first place with a confident attitude.

Some contestants were hardened by her skill.

Yeji did not spare praise for the fairly high level.

“You’re doing really well.”

“I know.”

Compared to when she debuted, she is at a sorry level.

Yeji glanced at her Suho and then spoke to her.

“Chief, this should be A grade, right?”

“…”

Concentrating on nothing.

At this time, she was clearly revealing her genius-like side.

Lately she had been feeling certain about her feelings for him.

“Here, Chief.”

Yeji legitimately touched his forearm.

“Oh, um. Yeji. Why?”

“Because it’s my first contestant, I think I need a standard.”

“Yes.”

After finishing the stage, Nam Min-ji was out of breath.

“Thanks for your efforts.”

“Thank you!”

Judge Jeong Su-ho was the first to pick up the microphone.

“I’m a little sorry.”

“?”

One word from Suho threw cold water on the set.

All participants looked at him with blank expressions.

“Personally, it was distasteful.”

“…”

Chief Jeong gives a B grade without paying attention to others.

Of course, the eyes of the Solar members who were thinking of A shook.

‘… What should I do?’

‘Therefore.’

Yeji continued her conversation with her secret book and ventriloquism.

‘Are you giving me points because it’s the first order?’

‘Your original standard is high.’

Soon, Yeji looked at her and removed her hand from her A button.

Then, the B grade scores were lined up on the electronic board.

The participants sitting in the rankings opened their mouths to the strict standards.

“Ah… Go, thank you!”

Nam Min-ji stutters as if she is slightly embarrassed.

He hangs his head and tries to leave the stage.

“Wait.”

The Queen immediately gave it an A grade using the Super Pass.

“I really liked it. I will use the superpass for the first stage.”

“Well…”

“Chief, can you tell me something?”

“Yeah.”

The Queen shrugged and passed the microphone to Suho.

“You may feel that my standards are a little ambiguous.”

“…”

If you think about it, there were many cases where his choice revealed his true value later.

“I didn’t find any star qualities on this stage.”

“Ah…?”

God, I never thought you would bring out that obscure word.

A star castle…?

Where does anyone see something like that?

‘…Here it is.’

Other than him, who could have raised Solar to such a superstar?

Even Diana didn’t know that she was a talent that was being eaten by Billboard.

This is enough foresight.

It was not enough to simply say that he had good eyesight.

As if he had the wisdom to see the future.

Then, the participants who went on stage trembled as if they were nervous.

“Drink a sip of water, take it slow.”

“Oh, thank you!”

Manager Jung, who gently takes care of me whenever that happens.

He’s so caring and sweet that I think I’ll be jealous.

“Okay, next.”

After that, the contestants continued on stage one by one.

The only participants who received an A grade were Han Ji-ah and Nam Min-ji.

“Next… Kim Deok-ja.”

“Olivia?”

“It has two names.”

“Aha.”

The daughter of the late Kim Pil-seong before he passed away.

Deokja Kim went on stage and introduced himself.

“Hello! I’m Ol. Lee. B. A.!”

“…”

Yeji remembered her audition video she had submitted.

Her skills shown in her first audition were a bit disappointing.

“This is the video you submitted.”

Sure enough, the queen started nagging.

She said, “She called with a cold?”

“Yes? Ah… Yes!”

“Then why didn’t you take it again?”

“I made my decision to participate late. The deadline is…”

“Neck care is also a skill.”

“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”

With the Queen’s bitter voice, Deokja Kim picked up the guitar.

A selection of songs in a calm atmosphere without high notes.

She fell in love with her sweet vocals.

A charm that captivates the public only with cool high notes and soft tones.

The sensibility that reminds me of the 80s is combined with the appealing voice.

After all, a singer has to sing well to be a singer.

I think I found the main vocalist for this group.

“The song is good.”

“But what about dancing…?”

“…”

The members reflexively looked at Chief Jung.

* * *

After grading,

The judges gathered together to organize the members that left an impression on them.

Jia Han took first place with her improved skills.

Kim Deok-ja received an A grade for her overwhelming singing ability.

And, the queen was angry when she mentioned the stage her Emma showed off.

“Chief Chung, did you really have to use the Super Pass on Emma?”

“Yes. I can see his star nature.”

“You sang the animation OST?”

“…”

I’m sorry about that too.

“The choreography was cute.”

“Aw.”

The first Japanese animation OST I’ve ever heard of.

They even called it an R&B singing method.

“Thanks everyone!”

“Ah, PD.”

Shortly thereafter, producer Tak Seong-soo walked up to the judges’ table and started talking.

“We have also prepared accommodations for the judges.”

“No. I’ll commute.”

“Ah, would you like to?”

“Yes. I have to stop by the company too.”

“Cabi.”

“…”

Anyway, the official recording day is one day a week.

Even considering the additional recording, it was about 2 or 3 days.

“Hey, are you coming tomorrow morning?”

“Of course.”

Tomorrow was the day the participants chose their mentors.

We will be divided into five teams and each will sing a group song.

“Oh, would you like to hear the group song?”

“Is there a choreography?”

“Yes. Wait a minute.”

Shortly thereafter, PD Tak took out his smartphone and played the sound source.

A group song sung by 80 people divided into 5 teams.

Addictive melodies and choreography were essential.

-Couple with me just once, just once, just once, just once.

What is this begging song?

“The title is, just once.”

“The choreography is very easy.”

“Yes. Because all 80 people have to be able to dance.”

“…”

Buy me once, pick me up, meet me.

Although it feels so servile.

“… It’s addictive.”

Still, the back of the head tickled, so I passed.

Originally, this kind of song is divided into likes and dislikes.

“The mentor selection will be set to 20 people.”

“There must be priority from A grade.”

“It’s natural.”

There must have been a member where the top-ranked contestants flocked.

“Wait a minute, if there are 20 of them…”

Maybe there will be a person who can’t be chosen by all 80 people.

“?”

Somi was furious at the sudden gathering of gazes.

“What is it, do you think I will finish last?”

“…”

You are not in last place now.

You may not even have a mentee.

“Ji, Jia and I are close!”

“Yes. Fighting.”

Soon, Yeji carefully raised her hand and opened her mouth.

“Can’t we just sleep here at the dorm today?”

“Yes why.”

“After all, tomorrow is also the day to choose a mentor…”

“Well.”

She had to clear her schedule for the evening anyway.

“I like it too!”

“Agree.”

“Very good.”

“…”

Everyone seems to have the same opinion, so I think I should allow it.

“Then I’ll leave Jiyu as well, so call me if anything happens.”

“Yes!!”

It seemed that everyone was up to something.

“Eunseo, don’t drink.”

“…”

Look at this, I was thinking of eating it because it was hot.

“Yo, I hardly eat these days!”

“… Almost?”

I can’t lie again.

I don’t smoke these days.

“Then I have overtime at the company for now.”

“Oh yeah.”

I left JiU at the set and returned to the company.

* * *

In the dormitory of 「Girls on Top」, A grade was the object of admiration and envy.

Benefits given to only 5 people.

I’m wearing a pink t-shirt.

“Wow, the color is really pretty.”

“Ah, it’s the same thing.”

“I envy you…”

Jia Han looked at her roommates with her embarrassed expression.

“Jia unnie, who will you choose as your mentor?”

“Well.”

A system that helps mentors directly select stages and songs.

You had to choose carefully.

At first, I thought I would just do it with Somi.

You need a trustworthy protector, not a friend.

“I guess…”

“Is it Diana?”

“…”

Wouldn’t that be the most advantageous?

Or maybe Yeji-nim is trustworthy too.

Drooling-

Then, the door opened and a participant entered the room.

‘… Nam Min-ji.’

A freshman junior who entered Seogwang Arts High School this time.

You seem depressed since you got a B grade today.

“Hello.”

“Yes? Oh, yes!”

Soon, the look of trying to show a bright look again.

She tried like someone with a good kid complex.

“There are only two A’s in our room.”

“Wow, that’s right.”

Maybe the real start will be from tomorrow’s shooting.

Everyone is spending time sorting things out.

Tong, Tong, Tong—

Someone knocked on the door outside.

“Who are you…?”

“Hello. My name is Somi.”

“?”

Why is the mentor here?

Can this be

‘Are you here for business!?’

Knowing Hanji, she pondered over what title to use.

“So, somi… Sir.”

“What are you talking about. Between friends.”

“Yes.”

In an instant, Somi checked her roommates with a hawk’s eye.

“Oh, is there a junior here too?”

“?”

Meanwhile, Nam Min-ji shrank her body like a mouse in front of her cat.

She faces Somi’s eyes that seem to see through everything.

“Junior, come on.”

“Yes?”

“Follow me.”

“… Ah.”

Nam Min-ji followed So-mi like a person who did something very wrong.

After a while, a corner place without a single camera.

The two ate a lollipop together.

“Minji, how do you choose a mentor?”

“… Lol.”

“Let’s do well. We’ll see for a long time.”

“Yes.”

I want to choose someone else.

“People pass by over there. Smile, smile.”

“Hey.”

The passing staff looked this way and smiled brightly.

“It’s nice to see you two!”

“I’ll cheer you on, Minji!hahahaha.”

“…”

Oh, don’t cheer, ask for help.
