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

Chapter 268

TL by Miru

Let's construct the premise.

The team behind this TeSTAR documentary were the same ones who tanked <Idol Corporation 2>. After their failure, they ostensibly cleaned up their studio's image before taking on this project.

And they selectively cut the footage of Cha Eugene for their own benefit, which eventually led to the leak.

"..."

These fucking bast-... no, let's calm down.

This realization was absurdly outrageous.

'I need a second opinion.'

I needed to maintain balance in my reasoning, especially with my emotions running high.

I shared this finding with the most level-headed member of our group.

"...No wonder."

Keun Sejin's usually easy-going demeanor shifted upon hearing my analysis. It seemed he had come to the same conclusion.

"Their storytelling approach was too aggressive for a cultural documentary."

"Exactly."

We mistook their methods as documentary-style madness, but it was more suited for sensationalism in variety shows.

As a result, while the TeSTAR documentary was entertaining, it was their creation that led us into this mess.

'They need to be held accountable.'

Never again did I want to see these bastards in action, be it on a variety show or one disguised as a celebrity-driven cultural content.

So, what should I do?

There was a straightforward and simple approach.

"How about we inform T1?"

"Hmm, wouldn't the company already know they were the <Idol Corporation 2> crew? Now that I look at it, it seems like they were entrusted our documentary because they're part of the same network."

I shook my head.

"That's not what I'm suggesting."

"Then?"

"Plant a seed of suspicion."

Just a slight shift in perspective would make the company sensitive to this issue.

'It seems like they deliberately kept sensitive footage of our artist to sell or bargain with another company.'

Such suspicion suggests a treacherous betrayal for personal gain.

As proven by the T1 industrial spy incident with Gold 1's agency, big corporations get infuriated if they feel played for fools.

'Then, let's make them feel like they've been stabbed in the back.'

I elaborated on this idea and added,

"They might get angrier thinking they helped the crew grow only to be backstabbed."

Let's gently implicate to them that after rescuing those guys who tanked <Idol Corporation 2>, they ungratefully turned against the company.

'Well, it's not like that isn't true.'

Then, that would likely lead T1 to ensure these production team bastards never gets a foothold in the industry again.
