The Crown Prince in the Mang Game is Good at Idols - Chapter 121
Only Noblemtl
Episode 121
After the end of , the first event where the members will directly communicate has been announced.
The news of the live broadcast taking place on the KPlus Live application has (former) national managers very excited.
―I missed you guys so muchㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
―I’m already excited at the thought of seeing your face, my whole body is shaking and I feel dizzy···.
-What do you think will be discussed in the live broadcast?
└Fandom name
└ㅇㅇㅇ I think I’ll tell you the fandom name
└We still go around calling ourselves Guk-gwan ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If we don’t decide on a fandom name quickly, we’ll be called Guk-gwan for the rest of our livesㅠ
└If someone saw me, they would think I was an instructor···.
└Will they come up with a decent fandom name?? I feel uneasy because it’s not like the fans themselves decide it
└I’m also really scared that a name that goes beyond imagination will come out
└The name of the fan who will be with Celeste is…. Twist!! Oh, what should I do? While dancing to Twist
└Ah, f*ck, kinda ㅜㅜ
While the fact that they could see the members’ faces was very welcome, many predicted that there must have been another reason for turning on the live broadcast.
The most likely candidate among them is the announcement of the fandom name.
The group name Celeste was revealed during the final live broadcast, but the fandom names of the (former) national managers have not yet been revealed.
The moment a strange name appears, people can’t help but worry that it will become an easy target for jokes from other fandoms.
I just hope Sigma Entertainment continues to be creative in the right direction.
―If a strange man were to be created, I think I would really cryㅠ
└But these days, there are so many different types of jokes lol. Even if the name is funny, there will definitely be a funny joke
└You just have to not feel like you’re being made fun of···.
-I wish you would make the live broadcast longer.
└Me too···. I feel a little sad because I think I’ll make it short. I’ll have to film the kids’ reality show and practice my debut song too.
└Reality announcement?
└ㄴㄴ It didn’t come up, but you can tell they’re filming something just by looking at the public photos.
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are you talking about the picture of the kids wearing aprons and cooking?
Celeste’s fans waited for the day of the live broadcast to arrive, hoping that there would be some unusual news.
* * *
“Have you finished your homework?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll report on this.”
“You always stay up all night and go to school like that.”
Pyo Joo-hyun clicked her tongue at her younger brother, who was lying in the living room, putting off the work he had to do.
“And if you’re going to lie down, lie down properly. If you do that, you’ll seriously lose 17 million won.”
“I have to pay extra for eye surgery because I always look at my phone in the dark.”
“It’s a boast.”
We waited for 6 o’clock sharp, with the usual friendly conversation.
But Pyo Joo-hyun had one concern.
‘I’m a bit worried about KPlus Live.’
The application that most idols use to do live broadcasts is StarUs.
However, in order to broadcast on StarUs, an official fan club must exist.
Celeste hasn’t even debuted yet and doesn’t even have a fan club.
So, until the official debut, I think I will use KPlus Live, a live application created by KNet.
However, KPlus Live was a platform that received many claims due to its unstable servers.
Pyo Joo-hyun was worried that Celeste’s broadcast today would also experience transmission errors here and there.
Soon, a broadcast start notification appeared at the top of the phone.
[Seleste is now LIVE!]
“Hey, it’s up!”
“You turned it on sooner than I thought?”
When I curiously clicked on the broadcast screen, I saw Celeste sitting in the studio.
What immediately caught Pyo Joo-hyun’s eye was the members’ outfits.
“Is that Kang Si-yoon with the glasses and mustache?”
“What on earth is Ji Yoon-cheol’s hair?”
Celeste was in fancy party makeup.
Kang Si-yoon has a crazy pair of glasses, a shiny, huge nose, and a thick mustache.
Ji Yoon-cheol has a curly wig that reminds one of a rocker.
Chae Eun-gyu came out wearing a rainbow-colored jacket.
But unlike the three who were dressed up in funny costumes, the rest of the members were dressed quite normally.
For example, take Charis, he had an antique crown on his head.
The visuals radiated nobility, as if he was a crown prince who had jumped out of some media.
“Did these guys bet on makeup?”
“Is it true that you came out with makeup on from the first live······?”
Celeste, who confirmed that the broadcast was properly turned on, greeted loudly following Song Hyeong-bin’s chorus.
[Two, three. Hello, this is Celeste!]
[Hello everyone!]
[I missed you!]
As the members waved their hands, countless comments poured out from the chat window.
Looking at the comment section filled with various languages including Korean, Pyo Joo-hyun realized once again the international popularity of Celeste.
[We didn’t have a slogan yet, so we gave a brief greeting, but we’ll definitely greet you with a great slogan next time!]
“I wish it was a little more cool.”
“I think it’ll be okay if I just cheer up.”
“Other groups are already using that.”
The members finished greeting each other. Then, a staff member who had been waiting nearby brought them a small lettering cake.
[We couldn’t directly congratulate the fans on their debut while communicating with them like this, right?]
[Could it be that Eun-gyu hyung prepared the cake?]
[I want to say that, but······. Manager hyung prepared this for me.]
[wow!]
Celeste all bowed their heads in unison, looking at the camera in front of them.
[I would like to thank you again! I will work hard in the future, so please support me a lot, everyone!]
[I always love you, fans!]
[Celeste, congratulations on your debut!]
[It feels strange to celebrate like this.]
Comments with the nuance that we love each other more were posted in droves.
Yumin Ha, who didn’t know where he got it, even set off a small firecracker.
While the members were clapping their hands together, Charis, who was sitting in the center, slowly opened her mouth.
[Come to think of it, how long can we not call our fans the national manager?]
“Hey, it looks like people’s predictions were right?”
“I guess they’re going to announce the fandom name.”
Anyone could see that Charis was acting.
Nevertheless, he continued to speak with a seriously serious expression on his face.
[ has officially ended, and I think the national managers would also like to move away from this title. What do you think, Eun-gyu hyung?]
[I agree with what Charis said.]
[That’s what I’m saying!]
[Oh, Yubin!]
In the left corner, Heo Yu-bin raised his hand.
[Actually, Min-ha and I thought of a fandom name last night!]
[Oh, that’s a lie.]
[Yubin, you went to bed at 11 last night. Why are you lying in front of us?]
[Ah, ahhh! Tongue, hyungs?]
At his brothers’ mischievous prank, Heo Yu-bin’s two eyes shook violently.
It seemed like the script written in advance had Heo Yu-bin and Yoo Min-ha coming up with and announcing the fandom name, but it seemed like the members were deliberately joking around to see Heo Yu-bin’s real reaction.
“Ah, Heo Yu-bin must be crazy! He’s so cute.”
“It’s like he’s shouting with his eyes, ‘This is different from what was promised!’”
Song Hyeong-bin held back his laughter and gestured to Heo Yu-bin as if telling him to continue.
Then, Heo Yu-bin glared at him and resumed his speech.
[Ah, ahem! Anyway, I thought of a fandom name.]
[You guys, are you curious?]
Yu Min-ha, sitting next to Heo Yu-bin, took out a white panel from under the table.
He smiled brightly, tapping his fingers on the area where the tape was attached.
[I’ll reveal it now!]
As Yoo Min-ha removed the tape, the long-awaited fandom name was revealed to tens of thousands of viewers.
Pyo Joo-hyun brought the phone closer to her face to read the English words.
[Seleve]
“Celeb······b?”
[Celeste’s official fandom name, ‘Celeb’, was created by combining the spelling of Celeste, ‘Seleste’, and the French word for dream, ‘Reve’. It means the existence that made Celeste’s dream come true!]
[The meaning is so good?]
[I feel so grateful to hear that you helped us achieve our dreams.]
All the members had satisfied looks on their faces.
[Actually, we only knew that the fandom name would be announced today, but we didn’t hear about it first. I’m really happy because I think a really cool fandom name has been decided.]
[Yooncheol-ah! What do you think of our fandom name?]
[·······.]
Song Hyeong-bin skillfully asked Ji Yun-cheol a question.
It seemed like they were intentionally trying to give Ji Yoon-cheol more screen time, as he only nodded and clapped throughout the broadcast.
[······I think it’s the perfect name that makes fans realize how precious they are.]
[Awesome, youngest!]
[I think it’s a name that always reminds us that we exist because of our fans, just like Yoon Chul said.]
“It’s okay.”
“Honestly, it’s hard to grasp both the meaning and the feeling, but it definitely doesn’t feel bad when it comes to celebrities.”
The two sisters also expressed satisfaction with the revealed fandom name.
As Pyo Ji-hyun said, it is extremely difficult to catch two rabbits at the same time: meaning and tone.
Considering that, Celeb is a very good name because it is easy to pronounce and has a good meaning.
[Then shall we all shout out loud together?]
[great!]
[One, two, three!]
[I love you, Celeb!]
As the members shouted out the name of the celebrity in a loud voice, countless hearts exploded in the comment section.
The number of people watching the live broadcast in real time has already exceeded 70,000.
Karis, who was watching the broadcast screen on her tablet, opened her eyes wide when she saw the numbers rising in an instant.
[We just passed 70,000.]
[That’s ridiculous.]
[Hasn’t it been that long since we started broadcasting?]
[It’s been about 15 minutes now, right?]
At the overwhelming firepower, the members all opened their mouths in surprise.
Meanwhile, Kang Si-yoon, who was the first to recover, clasped his hands with a meaningful smile.
[I have to say this quickly at this timing.]
“I get scared whenever Siyoon does that.”
“I admit you have clear eyes.”
[Our Celeste’s official fan club recruitment will start in just 3 days! The recruitment period will be a total of 10 days, and the official fan cafe will open right after the recruitment ends. The members will be communicating directly through comments and posting photos in the cafe, so please show a lot of interest! For more details, please check the notice after the broadcast ends~!]
[Siyoon is really good at promoting quickly.]
[Hey, hey.]
[Isn’t this the reaction speed?]
Pyo Joo-hyun immediately wrote down the schedule on her calendar.
And I also set the alarms back to back so I never forget.
‘In three days, I can become a true Celeste fan.’
It’s time to be reborn as a Celeb, the official fandom of Celeste, rather than a national manager who watches .
