I Dumped Her Not Knowing That She Was My Favorite

007. That’s billions!

7:00 pm.

Sitting in front of the monitor, I pressed the full screen key with the delivered chicken in front of me.

[Hey~ You’ve waited a long time~]

Inside the tiny bedroom.

The host’s cheerful voice flowed from the monitor speakers.

[YM’s metaverse project CLOSER 3rd audition! Let’s meet together now!]

Each audition was broadcast live in real time like this.

As the name Metaverse is the key, the place where the screening takes place is also a virtual world, VR World.

The map, resembling a large broadcasting station set, evoked a feeling that could only come out of an actual idol survival program.

[Then let’s meet the judges right away!]

Following the presenter’s words, the judges took their seats one by one.

A total of four judges.

If there were three until the second round, it seemed that one was added this time.

[Now, please introduce yourself one by one!]

At the host’s words, the avatars of the judges opened their mouths in turn.

[yes. hello. I am YM Entertainment’s exclusive vocal trainer Shisho~]

Shisho, who was already active as a vocal teacher in an actual idol survival program.

I thought about it last time, but why does that person use such an avatar?

Shisho’s avatar had the shape of a bully male that is common in downtown Japan.

If you’re going to use that, just put your face on it.

Whenever I see people whose faces are already known, sitting with avatars that do not suit them, it feels strange.

[This is Hasem, the YM Metaverse team leader.]

Hasem, who introduced herself as the director of the CLOSER project, was wearing an avatar with the concept of a red-haired witch.

After all, there was no way to know why he was using that avatar.

[hahahahaha~ Nice to meet you guys~]

However, in terms of popularity, there were no judges who could beat this person.

[I am Streamer Black Stone!]

That man who came wearing an avatar of black stones to match his nickname.

Looking at the avatar itself, he looked really insignificant, but he was a named streamer among named players.

Blackstone, a streamer who was also a pioneer of Internet broadcasting in the early days and first popularized VR content in Korea.

He said that YM’s casting made him special for this occasion.

People’s reactions to this have been very positive.

It was because he was a person who had a quick grasp of both the new technology of VR and the media of streaming.

ruler. Then, all that remains is one new face judge.

The avatar he was using was like a guru with a long beard.

[hello. everyone. It’s the first time I’ve greeted you in this way, so it’s amazing.]

Somehow the voice itself seems familiar… but who is it?

Unlike me, who was stupidly guessing who it was, the chat window was already in an uproar.

[Ugh…!]

[No… Why is that person here?]

[Is it true?]

[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

what. What are you talking about

His explanation that followed made me fully understand people’s reactions.

[YM Entertainment Representative. It is called Hoseong Yoo.]

ah…?

no. Is this guy coming out?

It wasn’t uncommon for the president of an entertainment company to appear on an audition program, but the CEO of YM was known not to be so good at broadcasting.

[It’s very emotional to think of talking and meeting participants in the virtual reality world.]

mister.

It was the tone of an old man who was new to the skills of a young man.

[Of course, I don’t think that’s the case, but I hope the participants don’t feel burdened and show off what they’ve prepared for today. Heh heh heh.]

…It feels like hearing the division commander’s words to be comfortable in the army. that.

Luke started to worry.

Luca wasn’t the type to be so trembling while communicating on the air, but he used to show a very weak side about this audition.

It was like that when I was worried about the song selection during the last broadcast.

She sighed several times as if her head really hurt, and showed a shaken appearance that was a little excessive at the words of the viewers.

You should do well…

Anyway, what did you prepare for the song after all?

[Then let’s meet the first contestant right away!]

Streamer Yu Hwa was the first participant called.

[hello! It is an oil painting!]

Yuhwa exudes an incumbent idol force with just one greeting.

The blonde haired avatar, full of luster, lifted her arms and shook them.

[yes. Yu-hwa Mr. Now, in the third round, you have surpassed a lot of competitors, how do you feel?]

[Uh… I think it’s really amazing, am I becoming this? I had many similar thoughts.]

[Then, what song did you prepare for today?]

[Ah~ Today’s song is…!]

Yuhwa, the first hitter, sang an idol song that gained sensational popularity a few years ago.

As a non-professional, I just feel okay?

In fact, it was safe to say that such terrible tone-deafness or head-butts were already excluded because they were members who had gone through the song screening once.

I wondered how the judges would see it.

[Who will do it first?]

The judges hesitantly decide the order to speak.

[Should I do it first?]

Shisho, the vocal trainer, spoke first.

[I hear you. Yu-hwa Mr. But anyway, this is a competition and I’m here to see my vocal skills.]

[yes.]

I could feel Yuhwa’s voice trembling.

[To be honest, I think it’s a little difficult to participate in the project if you look at pure vocals.]

[The ability to break through the high notes is very poor, and I think I can’t pull out a song compared to my own voice even at low notes.]

[Of course, this is not a 100% selection of singers, so I think there is room for consideration, but I think you will have to put a lot of effort into singing if you join.]

Oh… it’s spicy.

If there had been an atmosphere where people would come and go, even if they were a bit poor until the 2nd round, it seemed that a more rigorous screening process would be conducted from the 3rd round onwards as they were selecting real debutants.

[Then should I tell you now?]

The witch avatar, the team leader of the metaverse, took over the comment.

[I know that Yuhwa-nim worked as a professional horror game streamer for quite some time before participating in the audition…]

[Yes Yes.]

[If you participate in our project, I think the broadcasting will be limited or the proportion will be greatly reduced.]

Well… it’s being promoted by a large agency, but it was only natural that they told us to refrain from broadcasting with overly stimulating content or a lot of profanity.

An evaluation of the concept and suitability continued, and Yoo Hwa was able to leave the stage only after being beaten with facts.

“It is brutal. It’s bloody…”

After biting off the chicken leg, I said to myself as I put a piece of chicken radish into my mouth.

Fortunately, however, quite a lot of streamers heard similar reviews to oil paintings.

Most of the participants couldn’t avoid the vocal teacher’s bitter voice, and it was seen in real time that streamer Black Stone’s mentality was at a loss for broadcasting theory.

[hahahaha. It’s really difficult because it’s not about choosing friends who will become real singers.]

The boss wearing a guru avatar laughed as if he was embarrassed.

[It’s probably because there are so many different areas to consider.]

The next contestant to appear after a storm of criticism.

[Ah~ This person is~]

The judges start to groan.

And I also sat in a chair for a while after cleaning up the delivery food trash.

light brown short hair.

Round thin glasses that seem to be the point.

[hello. My name is Leah.]

With the appearance of Leah, who is emerging as a powerful debutant dark horse, the chat window was also unstoppable.

[Lea-chan! Let’s go!!!!]

[One top song! One top song! One top song! One top song! One top song! One top song!]

[Ah~ a professional player who appeared in early football~]

It was fun to watch the broadcast, but watching them talk in the chat window was also a delicacy that I couldn’t leave out.

[Then shall we listen right away?]

A gentle accompaniment plays and Leah starts singing the first line.

[Winter without you hurts enough to chill.]

Wow…

sings really well

Even though it was the first line without any special technique, I got goosebumps all over my body.

As if everyone felt the same way as me, hot reactions came up again in the chat window.

[Kya! This is it!]

[It’s just too much. It’s a level that doesn’t make sense if you don’t pull this out hahahaha]

[I love Leah! I love you Leah! I love you Leah! I love Leah!]

[Please love me again. Like yesterday.]

When Leah finished singing, the judges applauded.

[I think Leah could have auditioned instead of doing the Closer Project.]

Praise poured in.

[Wow… I have no fault with this. I felt it during the previous screening, but I think it has already been completed in terms of vocals. I.]

[Hehe… Do you have an account to upload music? I will also follow you now.]

Even Black Stone’s praise.

After the evaluation that made me think that this person would be real, the host put the next hitter on the stage, saying let’s continue the heated atmosphere.

[Now then, let’s invite the next contestant! Streamer Luca! Please come out!]

“This fuck!”

oh Why is it Luca’s turn next?

As a genuine Luka mom, my hands and feet were shaking.
