Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 63

Episode 63 Final Candidates

Sunday arrived in an instant.

For a month, Ugadol Audition had been at the center of various issues on Pangea TV.

To be honest, I was personally curious, too.

If Kyu-lings were to be eliminated, who would make it instead?

I pondered over it, but no matter how I thought about it, it seemed tough for the popular picks to be chosen.

People’s preferences don’t change that easily.

Park Nana, Baio, Elsa, and Yoon Seo-ah already had established fans and were old enough to be difficult to control.

From Sayoh’s perspective, it was indeed a dilemma.

Then, the opportunities would naturally go to younger and fresher newbies.

‘Maybe Na-roshi and Han A-yeon?’

From my position, knowing the future, Na-roshi stood out.

He had been active in various areas and had a high recognition rating based on 2025 data.

‘Well… it’s already out of my hands.’

Since passing on information about Kyu-lings, I had nothing more to do with the Ugadol Audition.

It was entirely in Sayoh’s hands now.

I came in early today because I felt like I wouldn’t be able to concentrate properly if I streamed.

“I’ll wrap up the broadcast soon, so everyone go watch the Ugadol Audition today. It’s the last day. I’ll also end the stream and take a rest before heading over to watch.”

I couldn’t do any exploration by today.

Once I left the Ugadol Audition, the purpose of exploration disappeared.

And it’s polite not to explore on such days.

If the viewer count were to disperse for no reason, I would surely hear the annoying buzzing of data.

“Ah, it has started.”

Just before 7 PM, Sayoh’s stream began.

The number of viewers flocking in was unusual.

Even viewers who had emotionally detached from the Ugadol Audition seemed curious about the final results, as they slowly took their seats.

‘Seems like they’re really nervous.’

Today, it started directly from VRC.

I saw a performance venue that was larger and more elegantly designed than the concert map I had used.

I had made an effort, but as an individual, there are indeed limitations.

The stage for the Ugadol Audition, supported officially by Pangea TV, was undeniably at a high level.

‘It looks like I can enjoy it comfortably today.’

I sneakily grabbed a beer from the fridge and settled back into my seat.

How long had it been since I relaxed? My body already felt languid.

“Ah!”

As I took a refreshing sip and watched the screen, three judges appeared, greeted the viewers, and began introducing various parts of the stage.

“20,000 people… that’s incredible.”

A viewer number I had yet to achieve.

You could feel Sayoh’s hidden strengths, even rotten fruit still holds its value.

Soon, the profiles of the final stage participants scrolled through on the screen in front of the stage.

Starting with Spring-Summer, Kyu-lings, Na Haeri, Jiho, Park Nana…

A brief banter among the judges followed, and the first stage began.

Spring-Summer sang to become a page.

“That’s interesting.”

A song selection similar to what I had sung at the concert.

Spring-Summer’s stage was decent.

She wasn’t originally someone with vocal strengths.

Still, I liked her bright energy and freshness.

Next up was the potential bomb, Kyu-lings.

As a participant noted for vocal talent, he delivered an excellent performance.

Looking at the chat, the audience’s response seemed positive.

But it couldn’t be helped.

There was no way to let such a bomb pass and add him to the crew.

After that, the participants continued to perform.

I enjoyed the performances while munching on frozen food I had brought as a snack along with my beer.

It was a strange feeling.

When I was just a viewer, I focused purely on the streamer’s songs and stages, but now that was no longer possible.

Starting from the costs of the stage and outfits to the technologies used and editing methods, those things caught my eye first.

Is that what they mean when they say “you see as much as you know”?

I felt the efforts of everyone involved in this stage, not just the streamer.

That made it all the more touching.

I could guess how much effort and how difficult it must have been.

“The last stage by Baio was really good.”

“How moving. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and everyone has created such amazing stages.”

“They have developed vocally, too. If I think about the first round, it’s surprisingly impressive.”

Since it was the last round, most of the judges’ compliments were favorable today.

It would indeed be better to conclude on a warm note in many ways.

However, since this content was an audition, it was impossible for everyone to have a happy ending.

In the end, candidates had to be separated into passers and eliminations.

‘Huh! Finally.’

The moment had come.

The end of this long, long journey.

Even though I was already a few steps away from the Ugadol Audition, I felt a jittery sensation.

If I’m feeling this way, what must the participants and their d*e-hard fans be feeling?

After a short while, at Sayoh’s call, the participants rushed onto the stage.

The judges had already completed their discussions.

Now, all that was left was to announce the five passers.

Just then.

“Ah…”

I received a Discord call invite from Miho and Lucy.

It was surprising that the two were chatting together on Discord.

As soon as I accepted the invitation, Miho’s voice came through.

“Seoa, you’re watching Ugadol too, right? I invited you so we could chat about it together.”

“The timing is perfect. The results will be announced soon.”

“Hello, Seoa.”

Miho’s voice sounded quite excited, as if she had had a drink or two.

In contrast, Lucy was calm as usual.

‘Thinking about it, it did take a while to persuade Lucy.’

While Miho had eagerly pursued her, Lucy had trouble even transferring platforms.

Thus, even though I didn’t want to, I ended up needing to broker a deal with Bluebee.

It was similar with the crew issues this time.

Surprisingly, the one who helped persuade the indecisive Lucy was none other than Bluebee.

According to Lucy, this time, he had brought it up first without even brokering a deal.

I was so taken aback that I immediately contacted Bluebee to ask what his scheme was.

Bluebee casually laughed and tossed around terms like “friend” and “goodwill.”

What a ridiculous thing to say.

I wouldn’t trust him at all.

Someday, I would surely peel off that mask and uncover all his dark intentions piece by piece.

As I made that vow to myself, Bluebee casually dropped a shocking line.

He mentioned that he was slowly planning to debut on Pangea TV.

Huh? Debut? Not a transfer?

In that moment, I realized.

I knew nothing about Bluebee.

The past before the V-Melody with Lucy was completely shrouded in mystery.

‘Tsk. Just making me feel bad for no reason.’

The refreshing beer now felt bland, as if it had lost its fizz.

After a short reflection, I focused back on the screen.

It was nearly the moment the first successful candidate would be announced.

“Who do you think will pass, Seoa? I’m thinking Kyu-lings, Berry, or Jiho. And maybe Park Nana as a leader pick? Baio is also good.”

“Hmm. Should we go with Berry for now?”

I had seen a post in FM Community where Berry was mentioned as the first to be called out as a successful candidate.

So I casually replied to Miho’s lời.

“The first successful candidate is… Berry! Congratulations.”

“Wha! Thank you so much! Sob!”

The first successful candidate was Berry, just as I had predicted.

Her voice trembled, and she struggled to articulate her words properly.

After a moment of settling down, I could finally hear her acceptance remarks.

“Wow! How did you guess? Is it luck? Then, who’s next? I think it’s Kyu-lings.”

Typically, it would indeed be Kyu-lings’ turn.

But now, the world had twisted.

I pointed to Spring-Summer as the next in line.

“The second successful candidate is… Spring-Summer! Congratulations!”

“What? Are you saying you can see the future or something?”

Miho’s voice trembled again, sounding both startled and amazed that I guessed correctly once more.

I felt mischievous and gave Miho a scare, saying that if she looked back now, something might be behind her.

“Gyaaaah!”

“Ugh!”

Ugh, I thought my eardrums would burst.

With Miho trembling from shock, I couldn’t help but respond while gritting my teeth.

This person is such a coward, isn’t she?

In the midst of this, Lucy’s reaction was also unusual.

“Miho, you can’t just suddenly scream. You need to maintain courtesy.”

“Eh? Ah, yes…”

In a slightly awkward atmosphere, the third and fourth successful candidates were announced.

They were Jiho and Na Haeri.

‘Now only one spot is left.’

Tension rose.

It was a moment that was suffocating for both the participants and the viewers.

“The last successful candidate is… Na-roshi! Congratulations!”

“Waaaaah!”

Crying sounds erupted from all sides.

It was rare to see grown adults crying like this.

The twisted history had created a new successful candidate.

I wondered how the future would change.

I called out to Lucy and Miho for no particular reason.

“Next, it’s our turn.”

“Yeah.”

“Fighting! We can do it too.”

It was a broadcast that made me think about many things.
