≫ Collection of quotes from professional idol Kim Yi-wol
I was impressed by my own hard life and collected Kim I-wol’s professional idol moments
※ The bean pods are clearly subjective ※
『Cheong-Hyeon: Oh no! Am I really okay? How much specifically?
Transfer: About 850,000 won per unit area?
Cheong-Hyeon: Why 850,000 won?
Yiwol: That’s the price of gold right now.』
『What’s with the backlighting? Are you trying to cast a shadow on your fans’ hearts? Is the protection of natural light funny?』
“If you eat high-calorie food, you have to run. Are you planning to grease your mouth and eat while you’re working out?”
『Is that aegyo the best? Are you satisfied with yourself because the Sparklers say you’re cute? Since when did we start working with such a complacent attitude?』
『Yiwol: It’s pretty even when you look at it dimly
Yiwol: You too
Title: Why me again
Yiwol: If you have a conscience, think about it. Do you think you look pretty in my eyes?
Title: Are you saying this because I uploaded 3 selfies?
Rollover: You can roll up to 4 cards, but if you roll one less, you’re out.
『Giyeon: If Lee Cheong-hyeon dyes his hair, won’t it stand out too much?
Yiwol: What are you talking about? The country will survive if handsome men dye their hair.
Joo Woo: Where did you hear that, hyung…?
In my eyes, Kim Yi-wol is the best idol, so I won’t accept any objections. Write down what you want to say in your diary.
└ 850,000 wonㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The first idol in Korea with a cigar in his face
└ The way of speaking is X or funny, the words are classy like Young-ae, but she lives off words
└ When I see him talking, he seems to be full of venom, but in reality, he seems to be living a new life, so I can’t say anything… … ㅋㅋㅋ He said he sleeps three to four hours a day
└ The idol who practices the most and works the most… …
≫ Even the fans acknowledge Kim Pep’s fan service
Even if it’s true that there are a lot of people who do Bubble Pop fan cafes
I remember almost all the fans who came to the fan signing and continue the conversation.
I always go to work in a dazed state, even during the early morning recording, because I want to look pretty to the fans coming to and from work.
Fans’ favorite photos are cropped to size and uploaded again for wallpaper use.
I watch all the fans’ vlogs and mention them every time
There seem to be so many anecdotes that make you feel like they were put into each and every one of them
Personally, the funniest thing is when he always does a heart with both hands because he can’t do it with one hand without being rude to his fans. Legend Confucius
└ I’m a guy, yes. Even though I haven’t done many fan signings yet, it’s not easy to remember each and every detail of the fans.
└ Huh? Sometimes, I see something wandering around the waiting room. What is it?
└ I got the first one at the shop and then had it retouched in the waiting room to give it a stage makeup feel.
└ What is that two-handed heart?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
≫ They say to lower the pressure when the water comes in, but what should you do if the dam bursts?
└ Calm down and start eating the bait
└ I’m about to explode right now
There were countless other similar posts, most of them asking people to recognize how hard Kim Yi-wol was working.
At dawn, Spark and I seemed to be on the real-time trending list together.
My face felt hot. It had been a long time since I felt this embarrassed.
‘Is this what it feels like to be praised?’
My stomach was churning.
It wasn’t a bad feeling. It was just awkward.
I didn’t have the courage to click through to all the posts.
Just seeing the favorable title was overwhelming.
My hand twitched. I tried to press the back button, but it stopped and the brakes were applied. My eyes wandered endlessly over the small cell phone.
The experience of having your efforts recognized, an experience that cannot be replaced by any reward.
It was my first incentive in life.
* * *
After hours of monitoring, I wandered around the empty quarters.
It’s not that I was just playing around aimlessly, I did do something.
First, to prevent Lee Cheong-hyeon from easily becoming addicted to drugs, all but a small amount of the medicine in the first aid kit was moved to another place.
If I knew which drugs I was addicted to, I would just leave them out. I had to break down all the drugs into small portions because I couldn’t remember any.
Since I don’t have a proper place to put it, I hid it in my small carrier for now. If I have to, I think I’ll have to buy a small safe.
I slowly started vacuuming, hoping that not a single speck of dust would get caught in the voices of my Spark friends.
If I get paid, I should at least put an air purifier in my room… … No. Doesn’t the company provide air purifiers? I’ll have to ask later.
I listened to the album that Park Joo-woo gave me again and played the air bass. My hands were itching and I wanted to play the real thing at the office, but I couldn’t ask the manager to come and go because of that one thing, so I held back.
I was wandering around the living room like that and then I sat down on the sofa… … .
“Brother, why are you sleeping here like this?”
… … I woke up to a familiar voice. Kang Ki-yeon and Lee Cheong-hyeon were standing in front of me.
“I think I fell asleep while watching TV.”
The last thing I remember was watching the rerun of the last episode of A Wang Shil while changing channels. I think I fell asleep halfway through.
Somehow, starting from the second round, thousands of idols performed an acrobatic show in front of an audience of 3 million people. It was all a dream.
“If you’re tired, go inside and sleep more. It’s night now anyway.”
Kang Ki-yeon said as he turned off the TV. Before he knew it, the clock was pointing to 9 o’clock.
“Okay. But you guys came early?”
Everyone came home earlier than usual. Judging from the fact that they all came in together, it seemed like they had come to an agreement and returned early.
While I was pressing my temple to wake up, Lee Cheong-hyeon came over and sat down at my feet.
“It’s an emergency. If you’re not sleepy, hyung, let’s have a meeting to discuss our plans.”
“Why? What happened?”
“There was a huge incident.”
Lee Cheong-hyeon was quite tragic.
Choi Je-ho, who came in last, took off his shoes and said.
“Jang Jun-hoo was here.”
A name popped out that I hadn’t even thought about. I asked a question without even having time to think about it.
“Where?”
“Practice room.”
In that moment, all the slang words I knew flashed through my head. Between the living room and the hallway, Jeong Seong-bin was smiling vaguely.
Yeah, there wasn’t just a finite amount of trash in this company.
I almost sighed, but held it in. Taking care of Jeong Seong-bin was the priority right now.
“Is Seongbin okay? You must be surprised.”
“I’m fine. I was surprised, but… … it’s not like you did anything.”
“Whatever you do in this situation is like protesting and demanding that you be arrested.”
While I was muttering, my eyes met with Lee Cheong-hyeon’s. It seemed like he was thinking the same thing as me.
“That guy must be scared.”
“I don’t think so?”
Lee Cheong-hyeon laughed and clapped his hands together.
A PD who worked with him wanted to be an idol, but he couldn’t overcome his inferiority complex and crossed the line.
This became a big story, but Jang Jun-hoo himself has a history of harassing an idol. In fact, he did it for several times longer than Yoo Han-soo.
The police come and go from the company, and the media is noisy every day.
Moreover, since idol K has exposed Yoo Han-soo’s misdeeds from start to finish, he must be worried about when his name will be revealed.
Lee Cheong-hyeon shrugged his shoulders and said.
“They brought a lot of drinks and snacks.”
“It’s all a fabrication, you know.”
Choi Je-ho opened the lid of the canned drink. The refreshing sound of carbonation escaping could be heard.
“So? There’s something else that’s important.”
I sat up and asked.
“What did that guy say?”
Park Joo-woo sighed at my words and answered.
“… … I want to talk to Seongbin. In private.”
“So? Didn’t we say that we always move in pairs?”
“Not that far yet… … !”
“Seongbin, what do you want to do?”
When I asked, Jeong Seong-bin looked confused and worried.
Last time, he said he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. In my view, it was a perfect opportunity to receive a proper apology, but for the person involved, Jeong Seong-bin, even an apology could be uncomfortable.
“Take your time and think about it. It’s them who’s impatient, not you. Don’t forget that your peace of mind is the most important thing.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Jeong Seong-bin smiled.
And the very next day, the guy came to our room.
“Hey, hyung.”
“huh?”
“I want to meet that senior.”
With a face full of determination.
“Are you okay? You don’t have to force yourself.”
Jeong Seong-bin wasn’t the type to talk nonsense, but he was worried.
Since he was a polite guy by nature, it was understandable that he would not be able to refuse a call from an elder.
As if he had read my mind, Jeong Seong-bin smiled and answered.
“I thought about it a lot and decided on it. You don’t have to worry.”
“Well, that’s fortunate.”
It’s not that reassuring. Jeong Seong-bin is the kind of person who would drink lye water if an adult told him to.
I thought it would be more comfortable for me to follow along as a guardian.
If you go and think that Jang Jun-hoo is talking nonsense, you should immediately lose your temper.
As I was waiting for an opportunity to intervene, Jeong Seong-bin opened his mouth.
“So, by any chance… … .”
Jeong Seong-bin swallowed and fiddled with his fingers.
Yes, please go ahead and ask. I am ready to listen to Jang Jun-hoo’s confession talk with you.
“Which member would be best to go with?”
“what?”
Besides me? With any other members?
Choi Je-ho, who will go up against Jang Jun-hoo 1:1 and be vulnerable for no reason; Park Joo-woo, who is even quieter than you; Lee Cheong-hyun, who has changed a lot these days but is careful about what other adults think; Kang Ki-yeon, who has a different personality from her appearance. Are you thinking of picking one of them and taking her with you? Are you serious?
They are all splendid appointments. To take these guys up against Jang Jun-hoo? I am staunchly opposed to it.
“Come with me.”
Do you want to go with the innocent guys and then get thoroughly ripped off again?
Shut up and take me away!
