NOVEL NEXT Chapter 59
The screen, which was zooming in on me for a close-up shot, changed to a view from the sky, looking down at the stage.
Fifteen first-tier trainees maintaining a triangular formation appeared on screen.
The fifteen spread out wide at the corners of the triangular stage, taking positions facing outward.
As the intro was about to end, the camera spun around and descended, moving to the front of the stage centered on me, capturing the faces of the first-tier trainees standing at the corners.
” It’s us! ”
” Wow… ”
Finally, the faces of all the first-tier trainees were clearly visible.
Even the excited glances of the older sisters on stage were sharply in focus.
The introduction started.
[ Ay! The look in your eyes, staring at me, is electrifying (electrifying) ]
The screen, showing only the front stage, intermittently switched to grab one-shots of the first-tier trainees.
Of course, starting with me, the center.
This was already my second one-shot.
Moreover, even in the front stage shot, I was clearly visible in the center, so I felt it was worth it to be the center.
So this is why being the center is such a big deal!
[ That touch that brushed past me is tingling (tingling) ]
We held our breaths and stared at the screen in silence.
Even though we were mesmerized, the best we could do was gasp when our own images appeared on screen.
As the song played, the stage and the one-shots of each trainee repeatedly alternated.
Finally, we reached the end of the pre-chorus.
Without even starting the first verse’s chorus, I’d already been caught in one-shots eight times.
Considering the times I was caught in the center stage, it seemed like more than fourteen times.
[ I must have hit you! Do you want to love me too? ]
[ I’ll run to you! Will you choose me now? ]
As we entered the chorus, a new triangular stage appeared on the left side of the center stage.
On that triangular stage were the second-tier trainees.
The newly appeared triangular stage moved toward the central equilateral stage and finally merged.
Finally, the second-tier trainees appeared on screen.
Of course, even in the meantime, the one-shots of the first-tier trainees and those centered on me remained steady.
[ C-c-c-c-c crush on you ]
[ R-r-r-r-r rush to you ]
[ C-c-c-c-c crush on you ]
[ R-r-r-r-r rush to you ]
After the repeating hook chorus ended, it transitioned into a dance break bridge connecting the first and second verses, with the third triangular stage appearing, featuring the third-tier trainees.
Only now did the frequency of one-shots for the first-tier trainees start to diminish, as the focus shifted mainly to the second and third-tier trainees.
As the dance break concluded, with the start of the second verse, the final triangular stage carrying the fourth-tier trainees appeared from behind the front.
The four merged triangular stages now formed a star shape when viewed from above.
In the center of the star, Do-hee Lee was dancing.
The center’s one-shot didn’t stop.
Before heading into the last chorus of the second verse, the final dance break commenced.
Right before the chorus, the last dance break begins.
The lights shimmer in rainbow colors, swaying up and down.
The unique electronic sounds of the synthesizer ride the beat, raising the pitch and building up the song until a huge firework explodes, revealing the five-tier trainees appearing below the stage.
As all the trainees emerge and the song reaches its peak, the stage starts transforming with the white and purple confetti falling from the sky.
It all begins with the stage of the first-tier trainees, the center of the star, slowly rising upwards.
[Fell in love!? Choose me!]
And among the center of that star, the one at the very center rises until, at the end, it’s me standing tallest at the center.
With the ending came a few shots capturing the ending fairy.
Countless trainees without tier distinction.
And eventually, the last shot is of me, Do-hee Lee.
Center fairy.
Ending fairy.
It’s Do-hee.
“Even if I die now, it’s okay…”
“Are you crying?”
“Do-hee, why are you crying?”
I don’t know.
I couldn’t hear my sisters’ voices.
All I could see in my mind was my figure on the screen.

After the premiere stage of the title song “Fell in Love” from Season 3 of “Jjodol.”
Season 3 of “Jjodol” became a hot topic on the internet.
[Jjodol Season 3, ‘Fell in Love’ stage premiere draws attention]
[(Summary) Jjodol Season 3, ‘Fell in Love’ premiere… First center is Do-hee Lee]
[Jjodol Season 3 participants showcase ‘Fell in Love’ stage… Who is the center?]
[Mwave’s huge project ‘Jjodol Season 3’ airs simultaneously on Netflix… Voting through live streaming]
[Mwave ‘Jjodol Season 3’ confirmed to air on July 8]
[The four big agencies participating in Jjodol Season 3! Haru, Zy, Js]
Entertainment news articles flooded with information related to Jjodol Season 3.
Unfortunately, the comments section for entertainment news had been closed for a long time, but the emotion buttons allowing readers to gauge reactions were still available.
On the main page, an article related to Jjodol.
The emotion button for that article had over 30,000 ‘likes’ and more than 30,000 ‘angry’ reactions as well.
Of course, due to the aftermath of Seasons 1 and 2, the number of ‘angry’ reactions was just as high as ‘likes’, indicating just how much attention was focused on Jjodol Season 3.
.

[Honestly, will you watch Jjodol?]
Are there people who will keep an eye on Jjodol48??? I’m… debating whether to watch it since it seems to be a controversial program… but I’m leaning towards watching it… Is that wrong?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I feel like I’ll find a lot of fixed picks, so I plan to watch it ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
Collaborating with Netflix gives me some trust…ㅠㅠㅠ
└ I think it’s better to avoid it…
└ I thought I wouldn’t watch it since I’m not interested beyond my main group… but how can I not watch with the three big agencies involved? ㅠㅠ
└ Honestly, I’m contemplating because it’s on Netflix…
[Get your act together, consumers of Jjodol]
Seasons 1 and 2 were obviously rigged, and now you’re saying you’re going to watch it?
Are you saying you’re going to watch it now?
└ Well, if it’s on Netflix, I guess it’s worth a shot, right? They had 3 seasons after all.
└ 22
└ Don’t consume it all by yourself.
└ If you’re going to write stuff like this, post it in the group chat. I’ll report it!
└ By that logic, why do we even consume problematic shows or celebrities? This time it’s definitely different.
└ 2222
└ 333333
└ 4444
[Who’s everyone’s fixed pick?]
I’m going with Eun Se-ra, Gong Chae-rin, Kim Seo-yoon, and Kim Han-byeol.
└ Jeon Ha-rang and Do-hee Lee.
└ I’m keeping my eye on Do-hee, Hana Kwon, Kim Na-eun, and Mei-rin. I’ll decide after watching the show!
└ Park Ye-eun, Nam Seo-yeon, and that girl with her hair down and colorful rubber bands!! I still don’t know her name.
└ (photo) Are you talking about her?
└ Oh!!! That’s right! What’s her name?
└ Yoo Ye-rin, she’s my fixed pick!!
└ I’m all about the center girl ♡♡♡ So cute!
└ I’m with Eun Se-ra and the Haru kids!
└ I’m Zy but LOL.
└ I still don’t know yet, but the center really caught my eye! LOL.
[Is the girl at the front called Do-hee?]
The person in the front and center…
└ Yeah! She’s the pretty one from the Ion Sweat ad!
└ OOOO, reminds me of the female lead in the music video.
.
.

[Are you going to watch Season 3?]
Why not?
Are you stupid? LOL.
Mwave slayed it, right?
If you admit it, I’ll upvote!
└ Just yesterday it was just “wave” without the M, but now they capitalized the M. LOL.
└ If it’s a Netflix collab, then I have to watch it LOL. Free voting is a steal LOL.
└ So there’s no manipulation confirmed, right?
└ If Netflix were manipulating it, would they have taken it? LOL.
[Watermelon chart entry at 72!]
(Screen shot of ‘Crush on U’ charting at 72!)
└ Major upvote!
└ Oh.
└ Wow, insane LOL.
