Chapter 292 – Episode 275 Whether There Is a Delay of 5 Minutes or 10 Minutes, the Need to Become a Post-Uterine Idol in Front of People Remains the Same… Right?

A spacious and comfortable idol practice room of 35 pyeong.

Umi and her group, traveling in a van, arrived at an underground practice room located not far from the broadcasting station.

Is the cozy yet spacious atmosphere due to the mirrors placed everywhere? The practice room felt slightly cool, perhaps because the heating and cooling system was in good condition.

The well-scrubbed floor of the practice room made a sound like birds chirping every time it was moved. It may seem like there is a slight echo, but if you play music while dancing, the sound of your footsteps will quickly be drowned out.

“Hey~. Now, if you wait a little bit, the Cherry keyboard will come. Before that, everyone warm up once. “Check your vocalization once in a while and relax naturally while doing it.”

“If it’s a Cherry keyboard, is it the same Cherry keyboard that’s in the top 10 on the music site Lemon?”

“Then are there any other Cherry keyboards in our country?”

“And! Sister! Cherry keyboard! Haha! I guess the idol members are teaching it themselves!”

Unlike Hina, who was excited and cheering, Umi cautiously checked the camera’s location.

The long stretching bar installed in front of the mirror for warming up was hung higher than Umi’s uterus tattoo, so it seemed difficult to use even with her form.

A camera hanging near the stretching bar and a camera stuck in the corner of the ceiling. And even the cameraman sitting in the corner as if he were an object, covering his body with a cloth.

Umi swallowed her saliva at the overwhelming number of lenses and gazes.

“Excuse me… The cameras filming now… ?”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry too much because it’s to get the footage to be uploaded to the first day of web entertainment at the same time as the personal interview I filmed before coming.”

“… “I’m worried.”

“Haha. Rather, you have to get used to it. “The fact that I’m conscious of the camera is clearly visible in the video.”

“Uhm…”

Umi mumbled and touched her fingers.

Come to think of it, those things were also written in the contract.

It seems that there was a plan to turn the practice scenes into personal narratives and turn them into entertainment shows by selecting people who were not well-known (though Hee-joo seems to have some) to make idols.

It’s unclear how many fans and recognition they will gain in that short period of time…

“Ha…”

Once I say yes, I am wary of even sighing. The microphone hanging inside my baggy shirt touches my skin and is annoying.

Escape… Is it right that I didn’t do it? Somehow I ended up agreeing because of the momentum…

I wonder if Umi kicked away the opportunity to escape at the most important time.

Umi, who was at a loss, finally sighed.

Ironically, this is why Umi first accepted the [Anyone Is a Street Idol] Project.

That was because there was a precedent called [Genital exposure incident at a live music camp].

* * *

“… Ah, no, Yeri… ! That’s not the problem… I am… !”

Umi, who was listening to Yeri’s praise for metal, came to her senses as if waking up from a long sleep.

As her friend, I know Yeri’s desire for the revival of the indie music scene. I would like to applaud Yeri’s ability to expand her spiritual world by joining the band during her high school days.

“… Ugh.”

But it shouldn’t be like this.

The idol stage where she, Lee Geon-ni, Hee-ju, and Naru will be present will have ramifications beyond the incident of exposing genitals at a live music camp that Yeri was outraged about.

According to the PD, the people currently in the waiting room, including Hina, are all members of [Anyone is a Street Idol]. All magical girls who will participate in the cooperative mission have gathered.

Hina dreamed of standing on stage and receiving a bright spotlight, even if only for a moment. And she feels sorry for Yeri, who was eager to elevate the indie metal scene to a major level… No matter how much you think about it, she can’t stand on stage as an idol.

“I’m sorry, Yeri. And PD, there’s actually something I want to say…”

Erasing people’s memories and data with super sticky and magical swords also has its limits. You can erase the memories of people at the scene and data stored in cell phone memory, but you cannot touch photos and videos that have already spread on the Internet.

If something like that happens, it won’t just be a momentary shame. Umi’s permanently preserved post-uterine dance video ends up circulating the Internet.

It’s not just Umi, but all the people involved in planning this entertainment show, as well as the audience who attended the performance… And other people who are dear to Umi will also suffer great damage.

Therefore, Umi said her words in a tone that sought as much understanding as possible.

However, producer Na Young-ho, who was quietly listening to the conversation between Woomi and Yeri, struck first.

“Oh, if you’re worried about making a mistake during the live broadcast, you don’t have to worry too much.”

“… Uh, how could that… ?”

“Just by looking at Woomi’s reaction right now, it’s clear what she’s worried about, right? Because she is not a broadcaster, she is an ordinary person. “I completely understand your concerns.”

After seeing Woomi’s nervous attitude while signing the contract yesterday and Woomi’s reaction to the genitals exposure incident, the PD made a sharp comment.

Of course, I don’t know if it’s the post-uterine idol Omangko dance show that Umi is worried about. Nevertheless, it was aimed halfway at the cause of Umi’s worries.

Producer Na Young-ho’s sharp words were able to soften Woo-mi’s harsh attitude even further. Umi listened to the PD’s words.

“The atmosphere on set can’t be helped, but you don’t have to worry even if you make a mistake that would be difficult to show on air. That’s the extent to which we can cut.”

“Well, that’s possible…” ? “It’s live broadcast?”

“There was that incident that Yeri talked about a little while ago, right? Strictly speaking, all live music broadcasts after the music broadcast exposure incident are not perfect real-time broadcasts. To prevent unexpected situations, all live music broadcasts are broadcast on a 5-minute delay.”

“A 5-minute delayed broadcast…?”

This is not just a genital exposure incident. There was also an incident where a dancer had a seizure during a live broadcast.

Considering various circumstances, it was decided in 2006 to make live music broadcasts with a 5-minute delay.

It is a practice that has already been going on for about 17 to 18 years, so to speak, music broadcasts these days are not perfect live broadcasts. Recently, the proportion of recorded broadcasts has been steadily increasing.

Although 10 years ago, there were cases where the 5-minute delayed transmission system was famous, such as when idol exposure accidents were broadcast as they were.

[Maeil TV Show Song Festival], Which airs on TV every day, is also broadcast live simultaneously on the web, so much effort has been put into completely introducing a 5-minute delay transmission system.

“Then…”

“The mistakes that Woomi is worried about are cut out on our camera line! That means it can be cut.”

Still, the PD winked, adding that [Nugil-ah]’S mistakes would be accepted as cuteness and that she should not worry.

Although the level of worry about each mistake was different, Umi also relaxed slightly due to the PD’s natural response.

Yeri didn’t miss that and rushed in.

“All right! Is that okay, Umi?!”

“Hmm. Uh, ah…”

“Dets ok! Umido Um Oh Ah- Yes! “I did it!”

“Now, wait… !”

To say that it was not that way of speaking, the situation is going as it should without any control.

“Then, I will assume that Umi is okay, and we will continue filming the interview after Hina! [Everyone is a street idol] Everyone. It may be difficult and tight during the week. Please be kind to me. Let’s create a great stage together!”

“Yes!”

“…”

* * *

As a result, rather than escaping, things progressed as if it was OK because even mistakes could be covered for 5 minutes.

“Ha…”

Jawa and Hee-ju lick their lips, unable to take their eyes off the practice room scene they are seeing for the first time. Umi sighed as she looked at Hina, who had visited her several times during her middle and high school days for her dance practice.

For some reason, Umi’s own gaunt face was reflected in the mirror that reflected all around her.

Broadcast delay of 5 minutes.

Can I watch shobu with a naked Dogezaro without a uterus, even if just for a moment, for 5 minutes? She was convinced that she was resentful of herself.

The best thing would be to not appear in front of others as a post-uterine magic girl… It somehow feels like it’s going according to the flow of the mission card.

‘If there was Ara’s memory manipulation magic, the big problem would be solved…’

I haven’t yet been able to ask Naru about Ara’s whereabouts.

It’s been two days since I haven’t read the message Joo Hyuk sent. Worried, Umi also tried calling, but couldn’t get through.

Like during the sports day, you get asked for a case without saying anything and get caught up in a closed circle… It would not be impossible for Ara to not be able to contact her for that reason.

Still, since Naru is the only person who knows where she left off, I would like to hear her story about how she found her, but the situation is not conducive.

It may have been the producer’s intention to sense Woomi’s refusal, but the interview continued immediately, and she rushed to the practice room in a van, making it difficult to find private time.

The fact that there was a microphone attached that was not taken off after the interview made it difficult to talk about magical girls even after returning to the practice room.

Well, time will fly once today’s recording is over, so there will be no reason to rush.

‘By the way…’

Umi sighed as she looked at Hina, who was as happy as a fish in water.

If she had said so bluntly that she was quitting being an idol, Hina wouldn’t have been able to remain in [Anyone’s Street Idol] With her light heart.

The burden of being a post-uterine idol still remains… Still, since there are so many of us together, if we put our heads together, wouldn’t we be able to find a way to end it without getting caught?

That’s what Umi was thinking. Producer Na Young-ho glanced at the watch on his wrist.

“Cherry keyboard… It’s a little late. Oh, yeah. “You have free time, so how about some personal time?”

“… “Eh?”

The time I hate the most has come.

“Oh, no, I’m not good at things like that…”

“Are you okay. “Wumi is not very physically fit anyway, so I’m not expecting much.”

“Don’t tell me to take care of myself like that…”

“Then I’ll play [One Bite Boy], Which is popular these days. Let’s take a look at everyone’s skills.”

When the PD connected his cell phone and played it, the practice room was filled with music so exciting that it even sent the beat to your heartbeat.

As soon as I caught a glimpse, the lively Hina was dancing along to her latest choreography.

“Oh… Umi, your little sister is pretty? Umi, I’m not a slob like you, am I?”

“… Yes…”

Intricate choreography and precise movements. The sense of taking it out when taking it out and hitting it in when coming out is something that Umi was not born with.

As she took Hee-joo’s words and glanced at her, she noticed Gina burying her face as she tried to follow her choreography.

“Senior Gina… “Is this unexpected?”

“… Hmm! Hmm! Tsk~~~.”

Even if it seems like they are born with it, there are actually people who are not.

Even though he knew how to use his body, he seemed to be the type of person who didn’t know when to come in.

Leaving behind Gina, who showed an idiotic cuteness that was beyond her imagination instead of her charisma,

Umi turned her eyes to Yeri, who was bopping along to her music.

“Yeri, don’t you dance?”

“I am talented! I can dance… “The performance of destroying a guitar is acceptable!”

“… “It’s our first stage, right?”

Don’t make it the final stage.

“Anyway, there may be a difference in talent, but you can make up for it with enough practice, so you don’t have to worry!”

Producer Na Young-ho encouraged Gina by saying it was okay and turned his attention to the next member.

Then, for a moment, everyone’s attention except Hina, who was dancing hard, was focused on one place.

Foot movement. Stretching grasp.

Breathing management is not an amateur.

‘… What is that, sister, why are you dancing so well?’

For a moment, Umi watched Naru’s performance as if she were possessed.
