The Idol Who Returned from Hell Chapter 84

Although 〈Idol Stove League Season 2〉 ended at a time when it was past 2 AM, people wouldn’t just let the final live broadcast filled with delicious firewood pass by.

All communities were literally blazing.

[BEST: 〈ISL 2〉 Series Finale, Debut Members and Group Name Complete Summary + 5238]

1st place: Ryu Si-hwan

2nd place: Seong-hwi

3rd place: Kang Seon-woo

4th place: Ma Si-hyeok

5th place: Chae Ha-ru

6th place: Yu Ha-woon

Group name is 「CENTIX」 ― Contains the combined meaning of Century, the English word meaning the 100 people who initially participated in 〈ISL 2〉, and Six, meaning the final 6 debut members

Our kids, you all worked so hard!! Congratulations on your debut, CENTIX!!

―Wow, in the end Ryu Si-hwan defended his 1st place position all the way to the end lol. Amazing, really

―The fact that Si-hwan achieved final 1st place must have been tremendous motivation for individual trainees…… Since he proved that if they work hard enough, they can definitely debut on their own

└But honestly, unless you’re a perfect talent + hardworking genius like Ryu Si-hwan, it’s hard to debut like this on your own strength

└Ryu Si-hwan being a mutant is right lol. The thing I never understood while watching the show was why agencies hadn’t scouted a kid with that face and those vocals until now

└It’s just saying there could be that kind of meaning~ Why are you nitpicking at the end of sentences…

└Is stating opinions also taboo now? LOL. So funny, I was just telling the current reality of the idol industry

―I’m a fan who went to the live taping and am now heading home, I feel like I’m going to die from exhaustion but seeing the photos I took of the kids’ real faces makes all my fatigue disappear wow

└How was it how was it how was it?? I should have seen their uniformed appearances with my own eyes T_T

└What can I say, Teacher, everyone’s faces were just so noble that I couldn’t even breathe. By the way, I was a Si-hwan fan but after seeing today’s stage, I fell too hard for Ha-woon and Ha-ru. Their visual chemistry is so delicious

└That’s right, today’s Yu Ha-woon with his dyed hair was legendary

└I was really so nervous T_T T_T. Our Ha-woon’s ranking dropped so much during the 3rd instant evaluation that I thought he wouldn’t debut, but when I heard his name called at the end, I clapped and hit my forehead and went crazy

└Ah, the person who came to our main community to give out rice cakes was a Yu Ha-woon fan lol. You promoted so enthusiastically that I took pictures of that friend, good thing he debuted~~

└Really so grateful, our kid is really cute and charming and handsome, so when the debut album comes out, please come listen

Like amoebas multiplying in an instant, most of the posts were supporting their favorites who had achieved the glory of debut.

As always, there was no way trolls who would cause trouble at such a celebration wouldn’t flow in.

[Honestly, I’m a bit worried about the future lol]

Anyone who watched the show would know that Seong-hwi and Ryu Si-hwan seem like they’ll have conflicts of opinion quite often. No matter how well Seong-hwi did image laundering to seem like someone considerate and capable of good judgment now, once someone’s personality comes out, it never changes lol

Looking at it, I feel like later he’ll whine about not having enough parts~ the song isn’t his style~ and cause trouble for the group lol Ryu Si-hwan will probably try his best to cover for him, but since people aren’t hyping him up as having strong leadership like they think, I’m not sure

Just seems like there are many parts that creak even before debut~

―LMAO I knew it was a troll from the first sentence LOL. What “anyone who watched the show would know~” bullshit. If you’re a national manager who watched from episode 1 to 12, you’d know that the selfish frame put on Hwi was all lies and the kids who trolled in the 1st round were the problem LOL

└I usually don’t even leave replies to my comments, but I’m writing this because it’s absurd that you’re criticizing Si-hwan’s leadership lol. Do you think if you sit 10 strangers down and tell them to make a good stage once~ something will magically appear? Considering how well he coordinated in between and even steadily gave trust to his teammates, they naturally asked him to be leader lolol. You’re a troll who didn’t watch the show at all, so stop making a scene and go wash your feet and prepare for academy tomorrow, elementary kid~

└Ah sister, stop hitting them with facts, the kid will cry

└I was about to rush in to write an angry reply, but the troll’s head was already cleanly chopped off, so I feel at peace

└Seriously hilarious. Our kids have already smashed stages multiple times, so you don’t need to worry about them not getting along hehe;

Posts with ridiculous trolling claiming the members’ teamwork would fall apart and posts viciously attacking one member’s character without even watching the show appeared occasionally, but the national managers weren’t the type to just sit and watch.

Since they already had the awareness that during such festive days, they needed to manage post quality even better, troll posts were steadily purged.

And before general users could see the trolls and spread strange rumors, they quickly switched the atmosphere by regenerating the boards with other topics.

[But how do you think CENTIX’s positions will work out?]

First, according to survival debut group rules, 1st place Ryu Si-hwan is confirmed as center and unless natural disasters occur, main vocal is also confirmed, right?

Kang Seon-woo only handled rap throughout 〈ISL 2〉 so he’ll go rapper

Chae Ha-ru and Yu Ha-woon will probably go sub-vocal

I don’t know how to view Seong-hwi and Ma Si-hyeok. If they pick 2 main vocals, then Ryu Si-hwan and Seong-hwi will go main vocal, or one of the two will definitely be main dancer, but will both go main dancer??? Writing this makes my head hurt

―Si-hwan (main vocal, center), Seon-woo (main rapper), Hwi (lead vocal, main dancer), Si-hyeok (sub rapper), Ha-ru (sub vocal), Ha-woon (sub vocal) 〈― Isn’t this the most likely case?

└Like you said, Hwi and Si-hyeok have the most position variables. Both dance amazingly well so they could take main dancer without being lacking, and Hwi is a vocal color gangster so they could go with a 2 main vocal system even if he’s not a performance-crushing vocalist like Si-hwan

└If you’re only looking at skills, isn’t Ma Si-hyeok’s dancing a bit better than Seong-hwi’s?

└I also feel like Si-hyeok will get main dancer and Hwi will go main vocal with Si-hwan

└Everyone, the very fact that we have to worry about such happy problems proves CENTIX’s tremendous individual skills, doesn’t it? This grandma is so happy

└This is right lmao. Everyone has at least one outstanding area, so they’re bad idols who make our heads hurt instead

└Looking at kids debuting these days, they don’t come out with positions strictly defined like before. CENTIX could be like that too, so let’s just wait and see lol Of course discussion topics are fun!

There were many people imagining CENTIX’s appearance after debut and guessing each member’s main positions.

Separately from this, there were also tons of posts discussing the agency CENTIX would belong to and future schedules.

[Come to think of it, where was QS’s agency last time?]

I didn’t watch ISL 1 so I don’t know well. Since it’s a KNet broadcast, did they go straight into an agency owned by KNet? If so, what company was it and how was their care? Please tell me T_T I’m seriously planning to fan CENTIX after not being a fan of any idol group for a long time but there’s too little information

―Yeah KNet and JH Group that planned/produced the 〈ISL〉 series created Rave Entertainment together

―Rave LOL. From someone who fanned QS…… Um, how should I put it, not exactly bad but not exactly good either?

└To summarize simply, they had a lot of money but couldn’t properly utilize that money

└Ah that’s right. Yes, exactly that. Since it’s an entertainment company invested in by two major corporations, their capital power was solid, right? Looking at goods and special items, the quality was no joke, but the problem was they couldn’t properly use this, as I recall

└There was almost no support for self-content or variety show appearances lol. Most of the self-content uploaded to NeoTube was stuff QS members gathered ideas for themselves and asked them to do

└Ah I see…… Should I not have expectations T_T

―But that’s already a story from several years ago, and I heard they invested more money in 〈ISL 2〉 than during 〈ISL 1〉. It’s reasonable to think they’ll go all-in on CENTIX

└One of my acquaintances is an entertainment industry person and said Rave recently put out large-scale hiring notices for experienced staff lol Maybe they’re trying to do it right this time after receiving internal feedback?

└If this is true, it would be paradise, but what if they just selected people who made huge messes at other entertainment companies calling them experienced staff

└What do you mean what, they’d board the express train straight to hell

└Ugh… I feel anxious from the start, seems like we need to act quickly if things feel off. That’s the only way those guys will come to their senses, most methods don’t work

└Should I prepare to ram trucks in advance ?.?

└Please let it be a hope story not a despair story, Rave, please

Stories related to QS, who could be considered CENTIX’s seniors, came up and public opinion formed that ‘our kids might not get proper care if we’re not careful.’

While the national managers were initially swept up in anxiety, they evolved slightly thanks to the willpower that formed around ‘we can always unite and show those agencies a fiery response to make them come to their senses.’

Following the sentiment that they shouldn’t think negative thoughts on this good day and should only run happy circuits, people began writing posts about their desired futures.

―If they have money, I really want them to make self-content super high quality. These days it’s more convenient to watch content on NeoTube than TV variety shows T_T

└[Hope story]: Each member carefully equipped with individual mics for top audio quality, planning team fully staffed so new content appears every time, collecting members’ opinions on what they want to do and making self-content as harmoniously as possible

└[Despair story]: Not even providing 1 mic per person, making kids talk to camera mics so all surrounding noise gets in, individual member comments barely audible, planning ability total failure so only weird boring content gets filmed, and it’s not even fun but upload cycles are disgustingly long so we can’t even see our kids’ faces, zero consideration for the kids

└Sister, just reading the despair story makes me nauseous and dizzy, is this normal?

└It’s too hyper-realistic so I’m getting anxious too lol

└This is all from my experience with a previous group I stanned at a terrible company ^_^

―I don’t want much, I just want them to communicate with fans often T_T. I’m one person who thinks communication with fans is the most basic thing when fanning, but looking at idol official accounts these days, there are many places that don’t manage properly…… During inactive periods I can’t even confirm if our kids are alive T_T

└Seriously T_T. If I can’t go to music shows, I have to see my favorite through screens…… I wish they’d upload photos frequently

└Now that you mention it, I’m curious when Rave will make CENTIX’s official account

└If you watch carefully when the official account gets made, you can probably roughly guess whether these guys are serious or still being wishy-washy

└In my opinion, they’ll only make it after debut confirmation articles come out

└Why are you being so generous? I’m not expecting anything at all lmao

Based on memories from that era when they managed QS, fans predicted that Rave Entertainment wouldn’t move very quickly.

Everyone was secretly praying they wouldn’t do that, but it couldn’t be helped because of their track record.

However, two days later.

Breaking everyone’s expectations, an official SNS account with a stylish logo appeared magnificently.

[Hello, national managers! K-pop’s youngest who just started taking baby steps, CENTIX greets you! ―ˋˏ * ٩(^_^ )۶ * ˎˊ―]
