[Na Ah Ah Final Competition location revealed! It’s at Jamsil Indoor Stadium!]
– Damn;; the scale is huge!
– Wow.. they’re doing it in Jamsil?
– Looks like they’ll distribute way more tickets than I thought? Want to give it a try for the first time in a while?
People are starting to buzz with excitement at the thought of actually seeing the Na Ah Ah trainees, whom they’ve only seen on TV, due to the unexpectedly huge scale and ticket release.
As Ha Ye-rin was worried about, tickets weren’t an issue.
They sold out all 10,000 tickets in just 13 seconds! Boom!
And as reporters spread these amazing facts in articles, they ignited the Na Ah Ah frenzy!
—
[Na Ah Ah did it again! 10,000 tickets sold out in 13 seconds….]
[Na Ah Ah site crashing, fans unable to secure tickets are flooding with complaints….]
[Scalping expected….]
– What the hell, how are they managing the site??
– I tried to get tickets at the PC bang, but failed…
– I did, let’s go see Yoo Seol, haha!
– I guess I gotta look for scalpers!
And thus, those who successfully ticketed started to post their proof…

My male friend really likes Ha Ye-rin, so I ticketed and succeeded. Hope everyone else succeeds too! Haha!

Whether in male or female communities, everyone was talking about Na Ah Ah at all times.
—
[I went to ticket for Na Ah Ah with my sister but failed, what the hell?!]
Seriously;; why is this so hard;;; I wanted to see Ha Ye-rin in real life, and while I was at the PC bang trying for tickets, the site crashed;; for real, this is harder than enrolling for classes!
– They released 10,000 tickets and still everyone failed!
– I wanna see Ye-rin too, she’s so freaking pretty!
– I tried ticketing for the first time and it’s definitely hard, it ends in a flash!
– I’m now looking for scalpers, and they’re asking for 1 million won, is this even real?

—
– Wow, this person is a true Ye-rin fan.
– How did you win standing tickets 4 times in a row;;;?
– Did you by chance get any data on Ye-rin when you attended? If you have, are you willing to sell? ㅠㅠ
– Anyway, the winner is Ha Ye-rin!
—
But it wasn’t all positive vibes towards Na Ah Ah.
As much as Na Ah Ah became known, they also faced a ton of blaming from people.
The public scolded Shin PD’s team for their misconduct throughout the show, especially targeting Seo Yoo-jin, lumping the production team into the blame…
—
[I’m a fan of Yoo-jin, and I hate how the production team is trying to brush things over.]
These fs nearly buried someone and are trying to gloss over it with an apology. If it weren’t for the exposure article midway, Yoo-jin would’ve taken all the hate and it would’ve ended there!*
– That’s just Shin Ji-cheon’s style, right?
– Seriously, they made Yoo-jin take all the heat and now they’re acting innocent?
– It’s disgusting how they switch sides after the exposure article; those girls who were so happy to curse before.
– The production team should experience rock bottom at least once!
—
The Lee Hye-jeong fandom also joined in to criticize the production team.
The reason was simple: the production team was completely neglecting Lee Hye-jeong.
—
[I really got frustrated and directly compared screen time ㅇㅇ]
In Na Ah Ah episode 9, isn’t Lee Hye-jeong’s screen time utterly pitiful? I measured the individual shot time for each participant…
Ha Ye-rin: 5 minutes 32 seconds
Yoo Seol: 5 minutes 8 seconds
Seo Yoo-jin: 4 minutes 3 seconds
Na Han-na: 4 minutes 1 second
…
Lee Hye-jeong: 3 seconds
What the hell, I’m so freaking annoyed and dumbfounded that I’ll just laugh.
I know every participant has different screen time, but this is just too much, right?
I was a fan since K-star, and I was sad she wasn’t showing up much since, so can you imagine how excited I was when Lee Hye-jeong was on Na Ah Ah?
Her skills didn’t drop, nor has her looks changed drastically, so why is she getting this treatment?
I’ll be watching to see how much screen time they give Lee Hye-jeong during this final!
—
– This is the last episode of Na Ah Ah live.
– No, it’s not all live; it’s 1 hour of pre-recorded and 1 hour of live.
– Lee Hye-jeong doesn’t get much screen time, but when I see her in fancams, she’s definitely skilled.
– For real, it’s surprising how Lee Hye-jeong hasn’t become popular considering her skills.
– Lee Hye-jeong looks gorgeous too, what the hell?
– When Lee Yeo-reum was exposing, she talked about Lee Hye-jeong too; apparently, Lee Hye-jeong was rated class A, but the production manipulated it to B.
– Really?
– Yep, I’ll send you the exposure article link.
– (link)
– Wow, it’s real… those production bastards…
– Looking at Lee Hye-jeong, she seems close to Ha Ye-rin.
– I’ve heard Lee Hye-jeong’s personality is really nice, ㅇㅇ she’s definitely likable but the production is really harsh on her.
– Ah, damn, I’m so frustrated, I’ll gather accounts from my dad, mom, younger sister, and all cousins to vote for Hye-jeong completely.
—
Former fans of Lee Hye-jeong, along with newcomers supported by Ha Ye-rin’s push, grit their teeth at the Na Ah Ah production team and focus their efforts to vote for Lee Hye-jeong.
Unlike other fandoms, the Lee Hye-jeong fandom had a higher ratio of hardcore fans, so their strength shot up in no time.
Of course, it wasn’t just the Lee Hye-jeong fandom that ramped up voting in the final week.
The Ha Ye-rin fandom, Yoo Seol fandom, Na Han-na, Seo Yoo-jin, Park Yoo-jung, and all other participants’ fandoms put in their last efforts to help their favorites debut.
—
– Anyway, the winner is Ha Ye-rin.
– Yeah, the one-and-only JJ star Yoo Seol will ultimately win.
– Han-na, let’s stay awake during the final.
– Seo Yoo-jin, fighting!
– Park Yoo-jung, pleaaaase debut!
And thus, as the total warfare of fandoms continued, finally the last day for Na Ah Ah approached.
—
—
Na Ah Ah’s final competition is taking place at Jamsil Indoor Stadium.
The stadium’s capacity was between 11,000 to 12,000, but the production team limited the seating to 10,000 for safety reasons.
However, lowering the number of seats didn’t lessen the excitement.
Hours before the competition started, the attendees filled the venue with glow sticks and handmade signs and slogans created by each fandom, eagerly waiting for it to start.
Finally, the Na Ah Ah broadcast time was coming…
Boom!
“Whoa…!”
As the clock struck 10, the bright lights of the gymnasium turned off, and the fans fell into anticipation.
Then appeared…
Boom!
“Hello, everyone! I am Han Si-woo, the main MC of My Idol Academia!”
“Waaaaaaah!”
As soon as Han Si-woo appeared, a thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd.
Though it was so deafening it hurt to listen, he grinned and continued his opening remarks with joy.
“Thank you all for your love towards Na Ah Ah! Thanks to your support, Na Ah Ah has come this far!”
“Waaaaah!”
“Behind me are the girls dreaming of debut! The only ones who can reach out to these girls are you! Are you all ready to make their dreams come true?!”
“Yes!!!”
“Then let’s all shout together with the Na Ah Ah cheer! One, two, three!”
“““Show me your dream-!!!!!”””
With the massive chorus of the audience, the stage was darkened once more.
“What’s happening? What’s happening?”
“Are the kids coming out?”
And breaking the brief darkness, the lights turned on to reveal, along with the audience’s excitement…
Boom!
“Waaaaaaah!”
The 14 participants dressed in Na Ah Ah’s signature school uniforms made their entrance.
Next, the intro played.
♪♪♬-!!
It was Na Ah Ah’s theme song, We are dreaming idol!
It started with 100 members, but now only 14 remain.
However, the remaining 14 were the absolute cream of the crop, presenting a stage with far more depth than when there were 100 participants.
—
-We always dream.
-Of standing before you.
—
“Ahhhhh!”
“Ha Ye-rin-!!!!”
“Park Yoo-jung-!!”
—
-We are dreaming!
-The moment you see us…
-We wake up!
Fans cheered enthusiastically whenever their favorite trainees appeared.
With over 10,000 people cheering, even the 14 participants felt a bit stiff and taken aback at first…
But soon, realizing the meaning of Han Si-woo’s words — ‘This stage will be a memorable experience for you all’ — they sincerely smiled back at the fans.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Waaaaah!”
As the theme song stage wrapped up, relaxing the participants and providing joy to the audience…
Boom!
[My Idol Academia Last Episode]
The recorded broadcast played on high-definition screens located throughout… and the final story of Na Ah Ah began to unfold.
