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

Chapter 264

TL by Miru

I placed my hand on the table.

It was a small table put in the hotel room for decoration, but in front of it was a camera as big as the table itself.

The production team behind the camera spoke up.

"Please introduce yourself."

"Yes. Hello, I'm Park Moondae from TeStar."

I nodded to the camera, and with a faint smile, said,

"I'm currently... participating in TeStar's second concert tour."

And I was also involved in making this concert documentary. This very thing I was doing right now.

'In fact, we often film a lot of concert behind-the-scenes.'

It gives you a sense of closeness with each idol and hearing the backstage stories of concerts you've attended can be intriguing.

But it was rare to produce it as a separate documentary. It could be encouraging that it was not just treated as a product for fans but launched to the general public. Because this meant that the production has significant public interest, leaving a mark on the flow of popular music.

'It's like a class upgrade so to speak.'

For instance, VTIC probably already had three or four documentaries about themselves.

So, everyone agreed this was akin to knocking on the doors of the celestial realm.

However, whether everyone liked it was a slightly different question.

- ...Won't it be uncomfortable? Having cameras on us for months on end?

- Well, they said they'll come in only as needed.

- I am worried the content might not be very interesting since I don't lead an exciting day-to-day life...

- Ehey, I'm sure the professionals will edit it well~ Don't worry too much if it's interesting or not, it's not a variety show, but a documentary. Wouldn't they make it look good?

Eventually, the documentary shooting commenced through a majority decision and adequate persuasion. And so far, there hadn't been any major issues.

'But... it does feel like they're a bit too close for comfort.'

For example, things like this:

"During the tour, what part do you find the most uncomfortable?"

"Well, I guess environmental factors... like adapting to time zones or getting to know new venues."

"I see~ That makes sense. And how about on a more emotional level?"

"Well, emotionally..."

I could feel the production team's desire to capture raw footage.

Their attempts to bridge the distance to my inner thoughts were evident in every camera.

They would lower the tension with a simple question, then steer the conversation to elicit more revealing answers. It was a different kind of leading than the provocativeness sought by variety show production teams.

Of course, if I gave a more 'genuine-sounding' answer, that was enough.

"The hardest part is thinking that the audience might not fully enjoy the concert due to factors out of my control."
