The Loser Idol's Rebirth Chapter 6丨A Pond, A Ocean, A Sea
Grabbing the microphone, without hesitation, Soo-Ha chose ten songs at random before glancing back at the door to the karaoke room he just came in. The door is made of glass, allowing onlookers to not only hear the sound from within but also see the performer. It was perfectly efficient scouting area for anyone who worked at a broadcasting station. *** [Achievement Accomplished! Level 2 -> 3 You have obtained 1 skill point] It was not long before Soo-Ha had completed another accomplishment. Investing the points saved in Vocal once more, The D+ rating quickly changed into C.

Facing the woman, who looks
The Loser Idol's Rebirth Chapter 7丨Impress Me
10 days had soon passed and the first day of filming had begun. Although the show is structured in the sense of a survival program, it begins with an evaluation of each participant. Much like any audition program, besides the finale the biggest stage to make an impression is the 1st round. It is not rare for a bad impression to last until the end of the program. It is said that two things remain irretrievable: time and a first impression. The worst thing to do is give an average performance. Instead, even if it's a complete mess and becomes a joke, it can still help you in the future. There is no worse fate, than being cut for time and being left on the editing table. Of course, Soo-ha had no intention of being a comedy character. "Does everyone know their number? You will only be called once. Please proceed to enter this corridor after you've received your instructions." The filming began by taking a picture of the participants walking though the hall of the set, one by one
The Loser Idol's Rebirth Chapter 8丨King of Rock n Roll
Park Soo-Ha who makes his way up to the stage, listens to the male MC. "Participant Park. Please introduce yourself." "... My name is Park Soo-ha. Please take good care of me." He proceeds to bow, as there is a small laugh and snort for the judge's seat. "Is that all?" An older male judge, who is holding the microphone asked in a voice mixed with laughter. Although jokingly, there was a slight negative tone, which made answering tricky. Soo-Ha knows that it was his attempt to get him to speak more, but decides to just nod his head seriously. This causes laughter to break out among the judge's seats "What a unique kid!" "He's fun-." A few of them whispered. Of course, the microphone captured their voices well. "Ah! It says here that you are a former M.S trainee" "That's right" This is usually when remarks like, 'why are you participating?' or 'why did you leave' would be asked. However, the judges all seemed to come to an agreement that it would be more impressive to do
The Loser Idol's Rebirth Chapter 9丨Experience
"Whoa, Soo-Ha-ssi! I wasn't expecting you to be that good!" The male judge who previously held a bit of contempt for him now looks at him eagerly. ".... I practiced hard to sing it well" Another judge intercedes as he comments; "No, this is something you're born with, you have talent." The man who is one of the main mentors looks at Soo-Ha with expectation, 'His got potential to be the main vocalist …. we were actually lacking vocalists this year.' He is a famous lyricist who was popular for his blunt critique. He smiles all the way up to his eyes, indicating just how much of a liking he has taken to the contestant. Soo-Ha smiles softly as he thanks him for the praise. The judges continue with their rain of compliments. Especially the female singer, who appeared as the vocal coach. The formal idol, Hyo begins her evaluation. "Firstly, your vocal colour is very refreshing. Your vocalisation and enunciation are good too, so that it sounds pleasant to the listener." "Right,
The Loser Idol's Rebirth Chapter 10丨Bo Peep
As the familiar intro began and passed by, the lively vocals struck the ears of listeners. Soo-Ha, who goes with the most iconic pose, raises to fists to his cheeks as he tilts his head as he waits for the cue. As one of the judges spat out the water he was drinking. HA! Don't lose, don't lose, don't lose, quickly Don't lose your temper so, so, so quickly, your- so quickly Bo Peep Bo Peep Bo Peep Bo Peep Bo Peep Bo Peep Bo Peep Ah! The only person who seems to be watching his simple steps with eager eyes is the choreography instructor. While the rest along with the crowd of idols, smiles stretch to their eyes as they enjoy the unexpected scene of liveliness. The dance was not overly complicated, heck the song was the national anthem for all kindergarteners at the time. The song which was released 5 years ago, is clearly a relic of its time. An EDM-pop hybrid which instantly shot to number 1 on the Oricon Chat and top 5 on the Gaon Music Chart. ARA's , sc

"Park Soo-Ha... Overall evaluation A, Rank 6th Place!" Soo-Ha hadn't expected to be ranked so high, just for setting the mood. What Soo-Ha forgot to include in his assessment though, was the effect of his face. The ugly truth was that Soo-Ha was experiencing the phenomenon known as pretty privilege. If someone, is easy on the eyes, the enjoyment we derive from looking at them colours our perceptions of their other attributes. On the flip side, this colouring of perception also leads to higher expectations. The so-called beauty penalty. People tend to also have very high expectations as a result of looks, so when they fail to live up to those expectations, they're punished more harshly than un-pretty people. Soo-Ha didn't know but with the raise in expectations from judges, any mistake going forward would be penalised brutally. Thankfully, he had a certain 'skill' which would allow him to meet and exceed any expectations going forward. "I hope to teach you well, so aim even hi
The Loser Idol's Rebirth Chapter 12丨Gacha catch them all
Charm? What is Charm? The words charming and beautiful are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. A beautiful woman/man may or may not be charming, but a charming man/woman is by default beautiful. Beauty can be inherited, but charm cannot. Beauty is skin deep, whereas charm much more than superficial layer. Beauty fades, while charm remains. Beauty is the way you look and dress. Whereas Charm is the way you talk, the grace with which you walk, the way you respond to situations, the pitch of your voice, your choice of words, your tone, your smile, the way you laugh. Charm is an attitude one carries. Charming men and women emit a natural aura as if there is a magnetic force field pulling one's attention towards them. "Beauty can turn heads; Charm will turn Souls" It appeared that his charm was calculated from the previous performance. When practicing, it never appeared. Maybe he needed it to be formally recognised in order for it to be calculated. Soo-Ha was
The Loser Idol's Rebirth Chapter 13丨Debuff
[Name: Go Yoojun] Vocal: B- (A) Dance: A (Ex) Visual: A+ (S+) Charm: B (A+) Attribute: Determined (Not Activated) Status effect: Disesteemed Staring at the ridiculous potential of the boy, Soo-Ha is both jealous and awed. He has all the makings of an all-round idol, a so-called Golden egg. How did a guy like this not make it? Well, the answer seemed to be staring Soo-Ha right in the face. [Status effect: Disesteemed] With that face? It would make more sense if he was suffering from prince syndrome. As Soo-Ha continues to look at the status curiously, he hears the MC's voice through the speakers. "Okay, please introduce yourself." Go Yoojun proceeds to grab hold of the microphone. The hand that was holding it, is shaking tremendously. "Ah...He-Hello..." Go Yoojun didn't stutter because he was nervous, rather his awkward speed was due to him feeling uncomfortable in public speaking. Ever since Go Yoojun was young, he'd be praised for his looks and talents. What came w
