Performance: A

Attractiveness: B

Speech: B

As I can expect from his characteristic, Seongwon was the main vocalist specializing in vocals.

And his face, wellHes pretty and handsome even if he speaks rudely.

Seongwons hair was quite long, and his bleached blonde hair was tied in a half-up ponytail.

It was a pretty stand-out hairstyle, but it was a beauty that didnt feel any greasy or awkward.

His disaster mouth must have been a big reason why his charm couldnt come out above grade A.

Thats why they say one word can repay a thousand nyang debt. Hell kill his character with his word. (t/n: /nyang is old Korean currency) 

Still, the visual is S, so it went up to B.

Even if his face was ugly, he was a guy who would have gotten an E grade because of his attractiveness. 

The reason why the speech skill was surprisingly B grade was probably.

It seemed that it was because he had the ability to shake off a snout without any hesitation when arguing.

Is Na Sunwoo the only one left now?

I pulled up the last remaining profile and looked closely.

[Name: Na Sunwoo 21 years old]

[*The grade in parentheses is the grade before correction.]

Hmm? Only Na Sunwoo had a unique explanation with parentheses that was difficult to understand at once. 

What do you mean correction?

[Its a grade that reflects a temporary physical condition]

Wang! 

Posil barked as if agreed with the explanation in the status window.

Its not like that, ah.

I shook my head, thinking of the thick lumps of fat all over Sunwoos body.

Of course, being fat is not a sin.

However, as long as there was an appearance that fans expected, it was necessary to live up to that expectation in order to stand on stage.

Idols are human too, but they are basically jobs that provide the fantasies that fans want and make money.

Im not going to talk like its someone elses business, Ill start with myself.

Efforts were urgently needed to present a stage that reached a certain level that fans wanted. 

I have a question. What is the average level of the ordinary persons grade?

I wonder if its about D.

When I asked with a wildly generous dream, the system answered ruthlessly.

[Grade C is a level that is slightly better than normal people.]

Kiing!

Posil expressed regret with his whole body by scratching the floor with his feet.

It means

It meant that the current me had terrible dancing skills that were not even average.

Can I distribute the two crystals right away to the dance?

As I decided without thinking further, a small pop-up window appeared. 

[Once a crystal has been used, it cant be returned.]

[Shall we distribute two crystals to <Dance> characteristics?]

[Yes/No]

I pressed the yes button without hesitation.

Then the screen briefly shone, and my characteristics grade changed instantly.

[Profile]

[Name: Cheon Yise (Lim Hyunsung) 24 years old]

[Characteristic]

Visual: S

Vocal: D

Dance: C

Attractiveness: E

Charm: A

Speech: A

Ive barely risen two levels and its a C.

Now, I came up to the level of an ordinary person who was a little good.

Yes, an ordinary person would be better than a man who danced on a tour bus with his butt twitching.

Even if its a long way to go, its too long.

I needed a way to solve that punks vocals and performance.

Theres nothing I can do right now So I should go to sleep.

I washed up and lay down on the bed.

Even though I put my head on the pillow, I couldnt fall asleep right away, probably because my body was fresh.

I need to go to sleep soon.

When I was a man over 40, the work was difficult, and my physical strength was very weak. 

I habitually overworked and slept less than 4 hours.

If I didnt do that, I couldnt manage the big business on my own.

Thanks to this, I could snore and fall asleep right away as long as I lay my head down.

Why cant I sleep?

Even after tossing and turning for a long time, only a slight tired feeling followed like a shadow.

I didnt feel the dullness of my brain soaked in fatigue.

Not a body that has been used for forty years, but a body that is young and healthy.

In the meantime, things were so hectic that I couldnt pay attention to them properly.

As I was quietly alone like this, I started to feel it little by little.

Lets search for somethingTheres nothing I can do right now.

I quietly looked up at the ceiling and searched for three letters, Lim Hyunsung.

There was a chrysanthemum sticker on the profile with my portrait picture on it.

Even though it didnt make sense, it was clear that Lim Hyunsungs real body had physically died. 

As long as it happened in reality, what I had to do was decided.

Why did this happen to me? Why did it have to be me?

There was no time to knock on the stick, looking for an answer that wouldnt come out even after thinking about it.

What I need to do right now isto distinguish what can I do now.

First of all.

I should ask for dance lessons to improve my dance skills and stage sense.

And helps Na Sunwoo with his diet.

This was my short-term goal.

In addition to that, I should also study the idol entertainment industry in general.

Lets think of Joyoung Food as investing in the entertainment industry and seriously analyze it.

As a businessman, I was good at analyzing the market with a cool head and coming up with a realistic plan.

Great. Now that the direction is set, I really need to sleep.

The sound of the waves seemed to be coming from afar.

My body slowly sank toward the bottom. I had an unpleasant feeling of pressure all over me as if I couldnt breathe.

But now Im alive.

Even though this is another persons appearance, obviously, I was lucky to have survived this reality. 

I couldnt collapse here, and I didnt want to collapse.

The moment I put my fingertips together and clenched my fists, my consciousness blurred, and I fell asleep.

* * *

The next morning, I contacted the management office and found out about Cheon Yises car number.

Suddenly, the resident contacted me and asked me for the registered car number of the house.

The security staff must have been puzzled by what this meant.

Thanks to this, I could locate my car with the fancy logo of a foreign car.

This car. Even when I was the CEO of Joyoung Food, I had never driven it. 

When I was a representative, I had no greed other than to grow the company and support the foundation.

An expensive house and a nice car were all uncomfortable, like clothes that didnt suit me.

Although Ive heard someone trying to put hot air on me, asking that shouldnt I ride a hundred million car, but.

An old Grandeur and a 21-pyeong apartment were enough.

Even so, if the CEO rides an old sonata, the employees below feel uncomfortable, so I bought it.

Because I spent most of my time at work anyway.

The trip to the lodging, with all the clothes stuffed into the trunk, was not an enjoyable experience.

I dont have to worry. There is nothing to be caught at all.

I drove out of the parking lot while holding on to the steering wheel and muttering as if to reassure myself.

It didnt take long to get to the house.

When will thisIll make it to the level of the other kids.

I couldnt help feeling faint.

Its so nice to have a roommate! Since Junghyun Hyung left, Ive been using my room all by myselfI was pretty bored.

Who is Junghyun Hyung? I tilted my head at the first name I heard.

We debuted together as a 7-member group, but one of the members who left is a foreignerand the other one didnt have that name.

Dont like it too much. I decided to share a room because I was afraid you might eat something secretly.

I was embarrassed for nothing, so I couldnt say anything good and cleared my throat.

Ung! Still, its good. I was very envious of Yejun Hyung and Kyunghwa Hyung sharing the same room. 

It seems that he didnt dare to ask Son Seongwon to share a room with him. 

Or maybe he already asked for it and got rejected.

Thats how camp life, which I thought I would never do in my life, began.

* * *

OhIs this a new song update? Who wants Lets Dance after a long time?

It must have been about a week since I joined the accommodation. A lot has happened in the meantime.

First of all, the accommodation was made from a pigsty to a place where people live. 

I told the company that he wanted to participate in producing and preparing Sunwoos diet in earnest.

If I think that there are only 180 days, it is difficult to waste a single day.

Then one day, Yejun brought a game console and connected it to the TV in the living room.

Ah, thats what Yise Hyung liked.

Seongwon was away for a while because the agency asked for help.

Kyunghwa was taken to an unknown sports entertainment the day before and was lying on his bed.

They said he went mountain climbing with senior actors from the 80s all day long.

He seemed to think he was lucky enough to have such a thing happen. 

Yise Hyung definitely does it. You do it, too. Its aerobic, so it helps you in your diet. 

I took the game console Yejun gave me while I was momentarily confused.

It was an atmosphere where I couldnt bear to ask, What is this?

O, okay! Ill do it, too!

Sunwoo seemed to hesitate for a moment before picking up a console from the table in the living room.

I dont know what it is, but Dance? Is that why you move your body? 

I quickly picked up my phone, which I was still unfamiliar with, and searched for Lets Dance on the Internet.

Looking at the photos posted, it seemed like a game where you move your body according to the movements shown on the screen, like DDR.

Im in trouble.

An emergency bell rang in my head. Id rather do anaerobic exercise. This type of dance game has been rat poison ever since I was Lim Hyunsung. 

If I had done it badly, would I have been kicked out by the person who waited for me to stop at the arcade when I couldnt do it anyway?

Now that Ive raised my grade to C, its not as extreme as it was when I was Lim Hyunsung, but.

Seeing that Sunwoo remembered it was Yise Hyungs favorite game, I expected the reaction.

I I dont think Im in a good condition today

When I tried to escape with an excuse for my health, Sunwoo immediately blocked me.

What are you talking about, Hyung? You told me earlier that you have to go to the fitness center and exercise for three hours today. Hyung, how can you say something so weak?

Is it something like you cant die alone? 

I ended up standing side by side in front of the screen due to Sunwoos water ghost operation. (T/n : water ghost means something like Its unfair that I suffered alone! Lets go together!)

Well, lets start with the new update. If Yise Hyung learns the choreography and teaches me, I think Ill be able to shoot a full combo soon?

With Yejuns confident expectations, the prelude with a magnificent beat began.

Im going crazy, how the hell am I doing this?

It said I just have to follow the action mark that slowly flows from the right end of the screen to the left. 

Even if I understood it with my head, my body didnt follow me at all.

What are you doing, Yise Hyung! It keeps saying Miss!

While I was hesitant, five marks disappeared to the left of the screen in an instant.

I looked around Sunwoo and Yejun how they do. 

The two were preparing to dance the next move even before the mark appeared.

How is that possible?!

Fortunately, my stamina was good, so I didnt get short of breath. But the creaking body was just barely good enough to get Nice.

Hyung, do you hate to do it that much?

The song is over before I know it. Then, seeing Player2 YS disastrous result table, Yejun asked in puzzlement.

I glanced at the other players results table.

Yejun was almost perfect, and Sunwoo seemed to be above average, except for missing about 5. 

Why are you both so good at dancing? You said you werent in charge of dancing!

No, its been so long.

Then Yejun answered with a frown as if it was strange.

Is it because of your back pain?

Even Sunwoos face began to be darker in an instant. 

Uh, oh. I had to figure out how to get out of this situation.
