Chapter 18
The home master of ‘You Are My Prism’, Ms. A.
Also known as, Prism Homma.
She has been a fan of idols for nearly 10 years.
It was a long yet short time.
However, she had one peculiar trait.
She didn’t just fan over one idol, but fairly fanned over all idols.
She was a so-called ‘multi-fan’.
Therefore, her SNS account was filled with pictures of various idols.
For her, the program ‘Make a New Color’ was naturally something to look forward to.
It was a program to select new idols to be captured in her camera.
But she was already in her 10th year of being a fan.
A burnout, not a burnout, was coming to her.
Because she was a fan of not just one group but many, there were times when she was tired of the sea of excessive information.
In such a situation, one more is added?
It was truly a dopamine overdose.
So, Prism Homma had a slightly ambiguous reaction.
She was looking forward to it, but not really.
She wanted to know, but not really.
Each idol group of Colors was very different, but there was a similar corner somewhere in their decision.
A pretty and tender face of goodness.
Members with all-rounder abilities that don’t miss out on dance and song.
Producing if it’s producing, composing if it’s composing, writing lyrics if it’s writing lyrics.
Even the entertainment members that are always there.
Rather, they were all so perfect that there were times when there was a distance.
And was Colors just a large company?
Every album that came out was literally a work of art.
Indeed, there was nothing that could not be invested in a capitalist world.
So, she wanted freshness.
Colors are Colors, but a freshness that is a little different from the existing Colors.
A new taste, but it has to be the taste I know.
Homma laughed as she said it herself.
Would that make sense?
I am your new world
But it did make sense.
“Did it go crazy?”
Her mouth was wide open as she watched the live broadcast of Make a New Color with a sullen face.
“It’s gone crazy.”
As soon as the stage ended, she hurriedly turned on her SNS.
Sure enough, her account timeline was on fire.
The consistent taste of Colors fans!
The consistent taste!
The truth that the eyes that see are all the same!
I felt my hardened heart beating
I kneeled and watched, our baby beast Mebo was crazy, it was reverent
Isn’t it okay to cover your eyes with a necktie? Mebo too?
Yes, you can sing well, you can dance well, but a trainee without a mentor came up with such a concept on her own??
Colors crazy guys, what kind of CG did you create
AhㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠPlease look at our Cheong’s tear pointㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠNo, the lighting loved our tear point Mebo, the grace of the lighting god came down
As expected, her timeline was full of posts that represented her heart.
There were many points to the stage just now.
Necktie blindfold, leather rider concept, and the twinkling teardrop.
Did you see Yoon Cheong’s revised lyrics?
Original lyrics
:Take a step closer, boy
I’m here for you
I take root and bear fruit
Changed lyrics
:Take a step closer, girl
I’m here for you
I take root and bear fruit
Isn’t this just saying that the sisters should die?
The reason for revising this part is clearly that it means you should die anyway
This is definitely a must
Yoon Cheong is really a big reversal, I thought she would play something like an acoustic guitar and sing a folk song
└I thought it was a baby rabbit, but it was a baby beast. There was a baby cheetah
└└I believed it, Cheong, I knew it from the moment I chose that song (old man)
Prism Homma closed her SNS account for a moment and replayed the video.
The rumor that was going around among the home masters before the Make a New Color broadcast and the current Yoon Cheong seemed like completely different people.
“She sings well but can’t dance and has no charm?”
Are you kidding me?
Did all the people without charm die?
“Who made such a ridiculous rumor…. This is something that should be sued from a fan’s perspective….”
Just the fact that she came up with such a concept on her own without the help of a mentor could be called a badass.
And she perfectly digested the choreography?
In just a week?
“…sigh.”
Prism Homma quietly opened her bank account.
It seemed like it was time to buy a new camera lens.
No, whatever it is, it seemed like it was time to prepare a bank account.

The storm-like final evaluation stage was all over.
“I feel like I’m going to faint….”
“Seriously….”
“I just threw up, didn’t I….”
“Wow, I didn’t eat anything, so only gastric juice came out.”
The waiting room where twelve trainees were waiting.
No one was at ease.
First of all, I was one with the sofa.
The choreography itself was the intensity of the usual level, but the problem was Yoon Cheong’s body.
This one, she was born with a very weak body…!
In this state, she was going to lose weight and just starve, so there was no body left.
As soon as the money comes in, I decided that I should first sign up for PT.
What debut are you going to make with a body without such muscles? Are you crazy?
Mental strength and skills come from physical strength.
If I ever meet Yoon Cheong in person, I decided to grab her by the scruff of her neck and say this first.
“How do the seniors always do this on stage…?”
You’ll get used to it as you do it.
“Even if music broadcasts only have to endure one or two stages, how do they do concerts…?”
Ringer and PT.
“When I stood on stage, my vision just turned white. I was worried about fainting if I saw the audience, but I didn’t need to worry about that. I couldn’t see ahead because I was thinking about the next choreography.”
“I admit it. I messed up the lyrics, so.”
“Who stole my 4 minutes? When I opened my eyes, the stage was over.”
Hearing these conversations, I really felt like they were just starting out in the world.
In interviews, they talk tough, but in reality, they’re just high school babies and just adults.
If PD Oh had done less devil’s editing, the kids wouldn’t have been cursed so much.
A few trainees’ interviews were being circulated on the internet.
If you only watch that video, they look like terrible kids, but in reality, they’re just ordinary kids.
“I hope I get less cursed at today’s stage.”
“Is it because of the last mid-evaluation stage? That’s not your fault, Juhong.”
“You did really well today. Why are you so scared? Straighten your shoulders.”
Kim Geum and Seo Baek-young were comforting Yeon Juhong.
Especially these days, Yeon Juhong was getting a lot of curses.
Her unique bright but direct way of speaking looked different when it went on air.
“I just… I gave up.”
“No, why would you give up?”
“Even if I debut by a stroke of luck… I think everyone will hate me.”
“Don’t say such things.”
Kim Geum, who had been quietly listening next to her, cut her off sharply.
“Who would hate a kid who worked hard enough to debut.”
“That’s right. Just think about debuting. Don’t think about what comes after.”
All the trainees comforted her with a word or two, but Yeon Juhong’s red nose wouldn’t calm down.
Looking at it, she seemed to be the type to monitor reactions very diligently.
Every time I saw her crying while looking at her phone alone… I thought you must be suffering a lot in your heart.
I just want to tell her not to look at those things, but there’s no way she’ll listen to me.
“…The vote count must be done by now, right?”
“It must be.”
When the topic of voting came up, the innocent atmosphere quickly cooled down.
By now, the audience vote count would have been completed, and the rankings would have been determined.
Fortunately, there is no elimination system, so no one will leave….
If you fall into the lower ranks, it means you’re not in the safe zone for debut, so you won’t feel good.
Then the door opened and a staff member poked his head in.
“We’re going into the mission ranking announcement filming. You’ll move.”
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
***
The mission ranking announcement was filmed in another studio.
Everyone was silent in the car moving.
And even now, when the recording officially started, only silence was circulating.
“Hello, everyone.”
Do Hee-young, the judge and host, greeted us from the center of the studio.
“Hello!”
The trainees also greeted with a booming voice.
“Did everyone do well on their first stage?”
“No!”
Hmm.
Only at times like this are they united.
“Haha, you all did well, didn’t you?”
“Thank you!”
“But even if everyone did well, the rankings are bound to be determined. From now on, we will start the ranking announcement.”
Do Hee-young turned one cue card with a solemn face.
“Today, the colorists who will color you have ranked your stage from 1st to 12th. Today, a total of 300 colorists participated.”
Make a New Color referred to the viewers as colorists.
It was a nickname that was very faithful to the concept.
“The 1st place gets 12 points, the 2nd place gets 11 points, and the last 12th place gets 1 point. If all 300 colorists picked one trainee as the 1st place, you will get a total of 3,600 points. Conversely, if everyone picked the 12th place, it would be 300 points.”
3,600 points and 300 points.
With the big difference between the two numbers, everyone felt more tense.
You could hear the sound of deep breaths here and there.
“We will announce the 12th and 1st places at the very end. First, we will announce the score of the 11th place. ‘Make a New Color’, the first mission. The score of the trainee who ranked 11th in the ‘Colors Idol Cover’ mission is.”
Do Hee-young paused for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“1,250 points.”
