Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.2

Chapter 255

After accepting the insane deal that the status window would disappear if I didn't achieve winning the Daesang Award within 500 days, the remaining holiday break passed peacefully.

In fact, initially I planned to return to the dorm a few days early and extensively analyse the global trends and domestic trend in popular music for the next album...

But the next thing I knew, I found myself cooking holiday food.

"...?"

"Oh my, Moondae, you make half-moon rice cakes so beautifully~ Our Sejinie seems to be making dumplings instead?"

"Mom!"

"...Thank you."

It seems that having to use my head extensively—from 'Checking the Truth' to the mission—have impacted me quite a bit. It drew me into doing things without much thinking.

So, I just spent my time watching the variety show that was written as <TeSTAR's Island Life> but read as <The Disaster Story> or monitoring reactions.

[Cha Yujin: Whoaaaa!]

[Ryu Chungwoo: Guys, watch your steps!]

"They edited it quite dramatically."

"I know right."

The scene of us preparing the equipment and climbing up a hill to receive supplies by helicopter somehow reminded me of passionate sports games or expeditions.

And the spoils that were presented like a reward...

[Nyam, nyam, nyam.]

[Enjoy and relish, TeStar... ☆]

Rather than just healing, this picture was better. Perhaps it was because the contrast of hard work and running to get the supplies looked better.

'The responses must have been good until the last moment.'

And the internet reactions I quickly checked confirmed that.

- Thought it would be a boring and fluffy variety show, but it turned out unexpectedly entertaining.

- I feel healed just watching these kids heal. Guys, take a good rest.ㅠㅠ

- It would be great if they continued this format regularly. Like the feeling of escaping from the survival setting and getting rewarded for it. Even if it's not TeStar, it would be interesting.

└ If it hadn't been TeStar in the first place... they would have stopped filming the moment they got stranded...

└ Fr. Honestly, it was only possible because it was TeStar. The realism played a big part.

└ ?? I know you're TeStar's fan, but aren't you disregarding other idols and broadcasters too much? ;;ㅠㅠ

└ Aren't you the one disregarding TeStar?

The fact that there was even a heated debate about this level of content means it was truly a success.

'Since they can't suppress the positive reception, they're trying to say that it wasn't thanks to TeStar that the show was entertaining.'

It was a good thing.

However, what was unexpected is that this ripple effect didn't end domestically.

'It wasn't like this even when we were selling hotteok.'
