The Idol Who Returned from Hell Chapter 96

It started like this.

During the live broadcast of 〈Idol Stove League Season 2〉, CENTIX had produced so many hilarious scenes whenever there were physical events.

For example, the dodgeball match that still remains in many people’s hearts.

Or the Punch King that spawned countless memes despite being variety show content.

So after thinking about whether they could see this comedic side of CENTIX again, one netizen came up with the idea of a ‘Random Luck Race.’

Looking back at the history of Korean variety programs, you can’t leave out the term “random luck.”

Many segments that decorated the golden age of weekend variety shows were centered around random luck.

Especially materials like outdoor sleeping and anchovies are random luck penalties that are still usefully employed even after 10 years.

[I want to see CENTIX’s Random Luck Race!! Ex) drinking anchovy fish sauce, running on pressure point mats, setting up water bottles, etc. LOL I hope our kids have fun blaming each other(?) and create lots of entertaining variety content]

That Random Luck Race comment received the most hearts and rapidly emerged as a strong candidate.

The MILLENNIUM who first saw the comment and hit like only had the primary thought of ‘I hope my favorite creates funny scenes.’

They didn’t know the production team would adopt this exactly as is from the first reality broadcast.

[The mission you must complete for the first stone is!]

[The ‘Random Luck 6-Course Race’ that received overwhelming recommendations from fans]

Looking around the sports field, quite a spicy lineup was revealed.

―Hey hey, look at that drink on the table LOL I think I saw a real anchovy one??

―Crazy. Look at the length of that pressure point mat, just looking at it makes me feel like my soles will tear

―Did we… pick too extreme a mission from the first episode? I’m really feeling guilty

└No T_T I didn’t know they’d really put this out as is, and I especially didn’t know they’d put it out as the first mission T_T

└Teachers, since it’s come to this anyway, let’s just enjoy it, I don’t care!

└Everything else is fine but who’s going to do that terrifying pressure point mat

└If they decide the order randomly, another lottery machine?

└[SYSTEM: Kang Seon-woo has left the party.]

└LMAO

The production team showed some mercy by allowing the order to be decided through self-discussion.

[First, I can’t do the pressure point mat. Absolutely can’t.]

[I can’t wear those pressure slippers either.]

[I, I think the pressure point mat would be a bit scary too.]

As expected, the biggest topic was the pressure point mat showing off its tremendous appearance.

As the members shook their heads one after another and backed away, the camera close-upped Ryu Si-hwan’s face as he silently stared at the pressure point mat.

An expression like he was thinking about something very seriously.

Eventually, Ryu Si-hwan volunteered by raising his hand.

[I’ll do the pressure point mat.]

All sorts of editing techniques went in to make his chest feel grand like a superhero had appeared.

At that time, Ryu Si-hwan had volunteered without any serious consideration.

Thanks to editing, he was portrayed like a firefighter stepping up in a desperate crisis.

―As expected, Hwan-men

―Today too I shout with all my voice, Hwan-father!

―What is Si-hwan, some kind of master key lol whenever there’s a blocked situation it’s just ‘Si-hwan will do it’

└But he’s performed the master key role so wonderfully so far

└This is exactly why if Ryu Si-hwan showed even a little failure, we wouldn’t have this kind of expectation!

└Ah lol too much success is also a problem~

[CENTIX, are you ready?]

The main PD held a whistle while radiating a beaming smile.

Having tested it in advance, he knew better than anyone that completing that course within the 3-minute time limit was never easy.

Perhaps that’s why he had a completely relaxed expression.

―Is this actually a mission that can be succeeded?

―I’m getting a bit confused, is this a public broadcast weekend variety show or a K-Net idol reality show? The reality shows I know only give missions that can be cleared somewhat easily

└Here both the idols and production team are serious punches from the first episode

└That idol with that PD, who did the casting, they did damn well lol

MILLENNIUM also seemed very worried a1bout whether CENTIX could succeed due to the seemingly extremely difficult level.

However, that worry started to melt away from the turn of Yu Ha-woon, the first runner.

[Thump!]

[The youngest succeeds in just four tries!]

Everyone was amazed when Yu Ha-woon cleared the bottle flip challenge with skilled ability.

―He looks like he’s never done that before but why is he so good lmao

―Seeing him drink water first then throw it, I smell a total expert

―Only 10 seconds have passed, this might be possible??

However, the second checkpoint had a completely different atmosphere.

As MILLENNIUM had keenly caught, it was the awaited anchovy fish sauce turn.

Ma Si-hyeok, who stepped up as the next runner, stared at the cup with wide eyes but got no results.

[Cups all boasting identical visuals]

[The probability of getting anchovy is only 20%!]

[What will Si-hyeok’s fate be?]

―No way he’ll get it

└You never know, 20% is higher than you think

└You guys, that means it’s almost 10 times higher than the probability of getting an SSR in 10 pulls in gacha games, if you’re unlucky you really get it

―My heart wants safe passage but my eyes want anchovy

└Ah don’t set up flags all together please!!

The unexpected does catch people, and Ma Si-hyeok’s choice was anchovy fish sauce.

[Br-brother. I can’t eat this.]

[Wow, how do you break through that probability and pick anchovy in one shot.]

[Don’t just be amazed, I want to cry!]

Ma Si-hyeok sent an SOS to Ryu Si-hwan while even getting teary-eyed, but this was something even Hwan-father couldn’t help with.

[Ma Si-hyeok squeezed his eyes shut!]

[Finally clearing the nightmare-like anchovy]

Still showing amazing determination, Ma Si-hyeok’s anchovy conquest successfully came to an end.

His eyes spinning round and round were visible even on screen, so MILLENNIUM was torn between laughing and crying.

―Still, it’s amazing that he drank all of that

―If it were me, I would have thrown the cup while crying halfway through T_T

―There’s romance in Ma Si-hyeok’s anchovy……☆

―Ah but what if they fail the first attempt and have to do it again, Si-hyeok might get anchovy trauma and not even be able to choose lmao. Poor our retriever, save him T_T

He got anchovy on the first attempt.

There’s naturally a chance he could get anchovy again in the remaining four attempts.

The timer displayed at the bottom of the screen was already well past the 1-minute mark, causing everyone’s worry.

However.

There’s always a problem solver.

[Si-hwan, run!]

[Brother, run!]

[There’s no time!]

BGM that plays when encountering the final boss in RPGs came on.

Ryu Si-hwan began sprinting straight across the pressure point mat without a moment’s hesitation.

[!!!]

[Wait, hold on……]

The CENTIX members’ eyes went wide and the production staff who had been laughing leisurely just seconds before urgently murmured to each other.

Like a sports match, Ryu Si-hwan’s pressure point mat run was broadcast without any mid-editing.

Too fast as if running on flat ground, and with no expression change, Ryu Si-hwan cleared the pressure point mat in seconds and lightly tapped the next runner, Kang Seon-woo.

[Hey, you’re crazy! Don’t your feet hurt?]

[Huh. It’s surprisingly fine.]

[There’s emotion in Ryu Si-hwan’s running!]

[Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and eat some bread.]

[Yes!]

The viewers went wild too.

―No, at this level isn’t he a human weapon LMAO

―Ryu Si-hwan’s common physical specs: solo killed everyone in dodgeball/fastest at running/strong punches too/has stamina to stay up all night practicing and still be fine/handsome/sings amazingly/handsome/can’t feel pain well

└Excuse me teacher, something was repeated twice, is that my imagination?

└I learned that you write good things twice ^^7

└Wow but really, couldn’t Si-hwan be an athlete?? I hope they do some kind of official physical test later

└Next January there’s 〈Idol Olympics〉 right? If Si-hwan goes there, at least triple crown guaranteed

└Ah the Olympics…… personally I hope he doesn’t go…….

└But there’s nothing better than IO for raising general public recognition

―My goodness Seon-woo, you’re copying my joke exactly T_T I love you Kang Seon-woo

└Kang Seon-woo sir, stop chatting and eat bread diligently, at this rate our kids will fail

└LMAO Seon-woo’s appetite is really strong so no need to worry

└Wow when Si-hyeok got anchovy earlier I was like this is definitely failure but it might succeed?? Si-hwan shortened the time so damn much

It wasn’t a mukbang performance that 100% satisfied MILLENNIUM’s expectations, but Kang Seon-woo also faithfully performed his assigned task.

Chae Ha-ru’s consecutive quiz show was…… actually the result everyone expected.

―Lmao this is a production team mistake

―How dare you solve quizzes in front of Chae Ha-ru?!

―Ha-ru was from prep school right? Really a damn cheat character wow

└Looking closely, Chae Ha-ru has more overpowered specs than Ryu Si-hwan – prep school genius who can sing and dance above average plus his visuals speak for themselves

└Ha-ru has everything but there’s one thing he doesn’t have

└If you say he doesn’t have me, I’ll slap you

└Huhu too happy

The last runner Seong-hwi also easily finished the 100m dash and ultimately CENTIX obtained the stone on their first attempt.

―LOL the production staff genuinely panicking is so funny

―Look how they almost forgot to give them the box so the kids just carried it back themselves lol cute

―Honestly, if the first episode has this much big fun, I’m very satisfied

└Agreed, all content was good

└From the start there were even voices saying they were inducing viewership with fallen ideas, but if they take basic framework from MILLENNIUM opinions and decorate internal elements themselves like this, I think it’s fine

└Setting all that aside, our kids had fun first…… That’s what’s important

└Ma Si-hyeok (drank anchovy alone): ???

└Ah LMAO Si-hyeok is…… um……. well hehe

CENTIX’s reality episode 1, which cleanly washed away all concerns, successfully concluded.

MILLENNIUM, who had richly enjoyed 1 hour and 10 minutes each from their own seats, wandered communities while savoring the lingering feelings.

While sharing memes and clips someone had created and spending a satisfying evening.

―Hey wait crazy official announcement dropped

One user left a post saying an announcement had gone up on the official fan cafe.

MILLENNIUM 1st generation, whose aggro was drawn, all went to the cafe to check the announcement.

Finally, the moment of dreams had come one step closer.
