Chapter 71.

In truth, this audio file—roughly two minutes long—had been heavily edited.
In Yun Chung’s favor?
No.
As favorably as possible toward Kim Ryeo-yu.
The most egregious parts had been removed, leaving just enough to convey the facts.
But anyone who heard this file even once would understand.
Everything they’d speculated about all this time was merely rumor.
The real victim was someone else.

Wow, this is absolutely brazen—literally shameless
Kim Ryeo-yu is actually insane lololol
Wait, so it wasn’t the survival show, it was the kids’ program all along
But Kim Ryeo-yu made this request and then kept her mouth shut all this time, wiping her hands clean? Her character is legendary…
└And she didn’t even mention on broadcast that Yeon Ju-hong asked her to do it
Ah, Joo-hong must have felt so wronged ㅠㅠ It seems like he’s been through a lot of trouble…
Yeon Ju-hong is one thing, but Yun Chung… she must have been furious… getting hate for something completely unrelated to her lololol
Why was Yun Chung even being criticized in the first place? I never understood that logic
└It’s just a hate bandwagon—do people need a reason to hate?
Please, if you’re going to sue, don’t show mercy.
└└└Who are you to say show mercy or not lol What are you anyway?
They were just young trainees to begin with, so getting attacked that harshly was… bizarre
I called it lololol Kim Ryeo-yu’s face screamed trouble from the start
└Now you’re playing sommelier with that energy, ugh stinks of desperation
└└So what, Ryeo-yu fan? Just move on^^;
But why did the Agency and MEN stay silent all this time when they had this evidence??? Are they toying with people?
└They spread rumors however they wanted and now have nothing to say, so they blame the Agency—what a joke. Did your conscience move to the Middle East?

Whether the internet exploded or not.
There were still people crying.

★
“Ugh, Yun Chung… how incredibly unfair this must have been for you all this time… Oh my god… ugh…”
Damn, when we said she wasn’t that kind of person, you wouldn’t even listen lol; Are you satisfied now? Did your life improve after tearing down an innocent kid?
Yun Chung and Ju-hong really lololol let’s make their debut a smashing success with these absolutely legendary, exemplary character people… Yun Chung and Ju-hong, you absolutely must debut

Yun Chung’s fans felt more anger than joy at her vindication.
It had been revealed that Yun Chung had nothing to do with it at all.
The fans were even more enraged because countless people had suffered stress so severe they were losing hair over such an absurd rumor in the first place.

★
But if things go like this, you can really see the true character of the other trainees lolol
└For real, the ones who kept their mouths shut… what’s up with them
Except for Yun Chung, Yeon Ju-hong, Kim Geum, Ryu Bora, Seo Baek-young, Lee Gyeong-a, and Lee Ju-seon…^^
But Jo Hee-on sensed the situation and bailed, so isn’t she also Kim Ryeo-yu’s best friend?
└For real lolol the escape was just based on intelligence…
└└She totally read the room and ran
└└└Jo Hee-on’s mysterious 1 win…
└└└└Though she did trash Yun Chung fans pretty hard on broadcast
└└└└└That’s when we figured out their true colors
??Wait, what’s happening on Tamla right now? What’s going on? Someone fill me in too
My feelings after the color explosion
: How could I love someone with such a bad personality, I only loved her face
Ah, Ryoyu, please say no… ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’m telling you to say no. I’m going to break out now.
I’m going to believe it’s not true lolol This could be the Broadcasting Station’s scheme anyway, who knows #KimRyeoyu_DontGetDiscouraged_HoldYourHeadHigh #KimRyeoyu_ILoveYou

Even as the internet searched for a new target.

Caption: The trainees were unaware of this recording file’s existence.
Caption: What were they… thinking about this situation?

Oh PD did not stop adding fuel to the fire.

Wow, this just keeps going and going
Damn, I’m not sleeping tonight
Did Squid PD sharpen his knife or something lolololololol

Production Team: There’s been a lot of talk lately about the controversy that trainee Yeon Ju-hong stole a part.

[Ha-eun: Yes…]
[Su-in: I was aware of it.]
[Baek-young: We all… couldn’t possibly not know. Everyone knows.]

Production Team: Do you all really think that trainee Yun Chung and trainee Yeon Ju-hong stole trainee Kim Ryeo-yu’s part?

[Geum: Does that even make sense? Logically speaking… why would two people?]
[Bora: The so-called “evidence” they’re talking about… we’ve seen it all too. But honestly, what they call evidence is just snapshots from a single moment. Frozen expressions, you know? But that’s really just… exhaustion showing on your face… it’s not something directed at anyone specifically. I hope you won’t be fooled by a single captured moment.]
[Gyeong-a: I think the fans could certainly misunderstand. However, I really hope you’ll believe this explanation.]

Production Crew: Does Kim Ryeo-yu usually get treated this way by the other trainees?

[Gyeong-a: Pardon?]

Caption: Lee Gyeong-a trainee’s lips trembling

[Yu-hyeon: I don’t think any of us really… gets mistreated like that.]
[Geum: Really? You really think so? Do you really think that unnie gets mistreated by anyone?]
[Ha-eun: Ryeo-yu unnie? Who would dare try to steal her part?]

Girls, take it easy
We got the tender meat… and I saved 2,000 won
Oh PD’s intention: Kim Ryeo-yu’s boldness
Me watching: Ouch
Wow Geum and Kim are spicy spicy lol “Really?”
I immediately thought of the Geum-Kim clip
Geum-Kim: Logically speaking… why would two people?
Another quote added to the collection today..
But this editing and interview is way too malicious
Isn’t Squid being way too biased?
Oh PD clearly hates Ryeo-yu lol Bora said there was intent
Did the PD lose their mind trying to kill off one person like this

Caption: So we prepared!
Caption: Her own interview!

Production Crew: You must have been flustered by everything that happened.

[Ryeo-yu: ….]

Caption: Kim Ryeo-yu trainee unable to hide her tears

[Ryeo-yu: I’m so sorry because it all seems to be because of me.]
[Ryeo-yu: I really didn’t know things would turn out like this… I only did it with good intentions… but things suddenly got so much bigger….]

Caption: I only wanted to give Yeon Ju-hong a part….
Caption: I absolutely had no intention of putting Yeon Ju-hong in a difficult position….

[Kim Ryeo-yu: From the start, I did what Ju-hong asked because I was worried the other trainees would get hurt. I was afraid they’d feel it was unfair if I gave Ju-hong her part first….]
[Kim Ryeo-yu: It was a lie told with good intentions so no one would get hurt… I never thought things would blow up like this….]

Caption: Nowhere in the broadcast did Kim Ryeo-yu ever say her part was taken away.
Caption: She simply.

[Kim Ryeo-yu: It was hard to refuse the atmosphere. And also… the overall team vibe was kind of like that.]
[Kim Ryeo-yu: How do I put it. If I’m being precise, it wasn’t exactly that. I just… got scared and felt that way on my own. Haha.]

Caption: She said only this….
Caption: A misunderstanding that spiraled into a commotion
Caption: No one had any intention to hurt anyone….

Archival footage inserted
: (Trainees practicing in a cheerful atmosphere)
Caption: Let’s put an end to these rumors that divide our harmonious trainees~~~~

Ding ding.
The BGM distinctive to Make a New Color’s broadcast played.

[Preview: The first group song! How will the trainees pull it off?]
[Revealed in 1 minute. Stay tuned!]

A commercial break came at just the right moment.
Perfect timing, really.

***

Hahaha, they really drove the nail in.
They really hammered it down.
Oh PD worked hard wrapping up this mess with a straight face.
At this point, isn’t it just telling us? That she’s the villain? They’re basically spelling it out…
How did he hold his tongue all this time?
The effort to expose her old interview as a lie, haha, relax man, we already know everything without you saying it.
Seems like they’re trying to cover for her no matter what, right?

Guys, I think my stock pick just crashed…
I loved you, Ryeo-yu…

It seems worse than just a crash… but let’s try to power through anyway
└Power
└└through
└└└we
└└└└go, but honestly it looks like we’re all done for…
I could feel the exhaustion of office workers in those lifeless subtitles… lol
└For real lol I thought I was watching myself at work today…
Ugh, she was my only sexy stock pick… now the only one I can trust is Bora, nephew only trusts you…
└Baek-young isn’t bad either…^^ Sharing a good clip
But Ryeo-yu always seemed like she had a strong personality even back then lol I told the director ages ago that she seemed a bit scary, so the director said they’d pick Kim Geum instead lol
└This person’s really good at navigating workplace politics
└└Women hate idols like Kim Ryeo-yu lol
└└└It’s Kim Geum not Kim Geum, you gotta commit to your choice haha
One of the king colors flew awayㅠㅠ

Damn… I saw the star quality of a conqueror who could succeed Jenna…
It all just flew away lol
Today, I’m going to peel some soju and review Jenna’s video.

You should watch stuff like that together
You uncles are why we get cursed at. I’m telling you, things like this should be shared quietly.
But Yeon Ju-hong didn’t do well either

Yun Chung… well, she got struck by lightning out of nowhere, so let’s exclude her.
Didn’t she almost lose her arm lying on camera to the broadcast crew?
She was just trying to grab a part and ended up doing that—there’s nothing to pity her for, right?
Of course Kim Ryeo-yu didn’t do well either
Kim Ryeo-yu’s a definite no, and that Yeon Ju-hong or whatever… I think she’s… lol seems like a short-sighted kid

She’s 17. What would she know? Let’s cut her some slack because she’s cute
└By that logic Kim Ryeo-yu should get a pass for being sexy too…
└└Even if she’s sexy, I don’t like girls with bad character; women should still be honest…
└└└What does being a woman have to do with it lol Nobody should lie lol
└└└└ Ah, don’t start drama and just move on. That’s just a personal opinion, right? You’re exhausting

And so it began.
While every site erupted.

[Hello, Colorists. I’m Do Hee-young, the MC of Make a New Color and mentor to our trainees.]

The broadcast resumed.

[Now, the trainees’ stage performance will begin.]
