Episode 153
boasted editing skills that suited the tastes of today’s generation of idol fans.
Even scenes that could have easily passed over as bland were made comical through effective editing.
Its true value began to be demonstrated especially during our mafia dance corner.
“Why on earth are you doing that close-up on me?”
“Your expression is funny, isn’t it?”
“Even so, the background music is so sad!”
Heo Yu-bin, who was drinking chocolate milk, watched her face helplessly as she was struck by Kim Tae-in’s fancy hand movements.
A poignant scene where a handsome beard with a strong Italian scent is drawn on his nose.
Heo Yu-bin was waving his hands in the air, trying to escape Kim Tae-in’s grasp.
At that very moment, the screen turned black and white and entered slow motion at 0.5x speed, creating an even more desperate atmosphere.
Not to mention the sad flute BGM that gently plays.
Kang Si-yoon, who was quietly watching TV, suddenly spoke as if something had occurred to him.
“Come to think of it, doesn’t it seem like I’m the only one with heavy makeup on?”
“They look similar to me?”
“That’s really not true, hyung. Look at your face and then look at my face.”
“Hmm, I see.”
Chae Eun-gyu tilted his head.
But, as if he didn’t feel any difference, he smiled brightly at Kang Si-yoon.
“I don’t know.”
“Ha, that’s why only the victims are being wronged.”
Kang Si-yoon expressed his complaints with his mouth sticking out.
Then, when he messed up the choreography, a scene was shown where Kim Tae-in ran with his pen again with a very happy expression on his face.
“No, I see it now! I told you that Taein-sunbae looks really happy when he comes to me.”
“Senior Taein, I think your job satisfaction is 100%.”
“It’s good that you’re satisfied with your job, but why do you only do this to me?”
“I guess my first impression of Shiyoon wasn’t good.”
“Why are you doing this to me, Charis! This is too much!”
Kang Si-yoon once again expressed his grievances by hitting my arm hard, but nothing would change even if he talked to me.
I ignored Kang Si-yoon’s reaction and continued monitoring calmly.
[The hard-working AXX MCs today too]
[But in the meantime, two normal people]
A two-shot of me and Ji Yoon-cheol was captured on screen.
While the other members’ faces were a mess due to magic, the two of us were still maintaining our soft faces.
[When will Charis and Yuncheol ever be wrong?]
[I won’t be wrong until the end.]
[These guys are so strong!]
Kim Tae-in ran his hands through his sweaty hair and looked at the two members he had not yet touched.
Well, I was really disappointed back then too.
But in the end, Ji Yoon-cheol and I showed off our ironclad defense without making any mistakes in the choreography until the very end.
“Brother Charis, how could I not be wrong? Even when I really try to focus on dancing, it’s hard because Siyoon hyung is so noisy around me.”
“It’s convenient to think that all noise is blocked out.”
“How is that possible… … No, even Brother Charis caught Eun-gyu being a mafia member.”
Yumin looked at me with eyes full of awe.
‘Honestly, I was very lucky in arresting the mafia.’
It was just a gamble based on choreography, and the magic wasn’t as great as Yu Min-ha thought.
So I just shrugged my shoulders and passed the ball.
“I was able to get it right because Eun-gyu hyung never makes a mistake in choreography.”
“Haha, you had to make mistakes once in a while, right?”
“No, it’s just a matter of words. It was just luck.”
At that time, I couldn’t guess what Chae Eun-gyu and Kang Si-yoon’s hidden mission was.
Because the mission itself was carried out perfectly, to the point where we never got caught doing any specific actions.
So, it was only late that I was able to hear about the mission of the two mafias.
[Eun-gyu boldly throws a heart at the center]
[A man looking at you frighteningly from behind]
[(Charis with wide eyes)]
“Were you really looking at me like that?”
“I didn’t know I had that kind of expression.”
“It’s a good thing Eun-gyu hyung didn’t look back. I think he would have been surprised if he had made eye contact with Karis.”
“I remember the sports day… … .”
“Didn’t you agree not to mention that?”
This is a runaway incident of mine that gets added to my recollection list whenever I get the chance.
I sighed while holding Chae Eun-gyu’s arm tightly.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince’s ego has not awakened even in recent physical situations.
‘I always think of the worst, but it’s so quiet like this that I feel more anxious. I don’t know when or where it will explode.’
It would be better if the abnormal status occurred while the members were together.
The members who have seen my impromptu and sudden reactions since can understand and move on to some extent.
If you do that in front of production staff or senior idols you’re meeting for the first time, you might unintentionally draw too much aggro.
Of all the situations, the one you should avoid the most is having an abnormal status activated in front of your fans… … .
I swallowed hard as I thought about our upcoming first fan signing event.
I can only hope that Goddess Luck will hold my hand until then.
After the mafia dance was over, a scene was broadcast where the culprit was identified.
Here, thanks to the members’ intuition, even Kang Si-yoon was arrested, and it ended in a victory for the citizens.
This time, too, Kang Si-yoon’s resentment switch was turned on without fail.
“No, no matter how much I look at it, I still don’t understand. How did you figure that out?”
“It’s a feeling.”
“Eun-gyu hyung, second, why on earth did you doubt me?”
“Didn’t I tell you? It was because of your usual behavior.”
“This guy―!”
Kang Si-yoon ran to me again and tried to pinch my cheek, but was blocked by my strong defense and returned empty-handed.
“… … That was incredibly difficult.”
Ji Yoon-cheol, sitting on the end of the sofa, opened his mouth for the first time in a long time.
His gaze was fixed on the Hunminjeongeum Karaoke, which was our last corner.
A mission where all lyrics must be sung solely in Korean.
It was a game that was perfect for K-pop, which has a relatively high content of English lyrics.
Since our title song is in English, there were a lot of English words hidden in the lyrics, which caused a lot of suffering for the members.
For example, like Chae Eun-gyu.
[Hey, what should I call this! I want to know, I want to know, I want to know! A world I’ve never seen before! I want to know, I want to know, I want to know! I’ll go all the way! Ah, I’m out of breath―!]
The shackles of translation that started with the repeated ‘I wanna know’ in the pre-chorus continued without fail in the chorus.
However, I was equipped with a skill that improved my language skills, so I passed it without any change in expression.
It seemed like there was a slight translation error somewhere.
[Instant flashlight, blinding. Feels so good I could explode.]
[No, wait! Wait! Time! Flashlight is a flashlight, right?]
[There is no problem in the English dictionary.]
[PD! What should I do with this!]
[(Everyone is shocked by the unexpected appearance of Estonia-translator performance)]
“Oh, it’s still funny when I look at it again. How did you come up with the idea to call that a flashlight?”
“… … It just came to my mind naturally.”
“You really are born with a natural talent for entertainment.”
Kang Si-yoon looked a little envious.
But despite this weak appearance, on screen he was unleashing his madness without fail.
[Dung-ki-duk thump thump! Dung-ki-duk thump thump! Look at the light!]
[No, wait! Time again! What the hell is this?]
[I just love Korean traditional music!]
[Even so, is it correct to interpret dum dum dum as dung-ki-duk kung-deo-reo-reo?]
[that’s right-!!]
[(MC Chae-an in a daze)]
Following Kang Si-yoon who suddenly summoned the Korean traditional music rhythm, there was also a strong impact scene in Yoo Min-ha’s rap part.
[You are my only light! Answer me, come closer with me! The one and only salvation Awakening… … . Awakening… … ! Oh my, what should I translate that into! A neuron is a neuron!]
[Minha, you can do it!]
[I’m not a science major!]
[(TMI: The dictionary name for Neuron is nerve cell.)]
The scientific term neuron also appeared.
[Stop or go back! Those things are absolutely not in my dictionary! No… … . Aigo, how am I supposed to interpret this! The one-man play is over now!]
[Great, Yuminha!]
[English genius Yoo Min-ha!]
Yoo Min-ha has definitely secured her share of entertainment by appearing in a monodrama that will cause a momentary brain freeze.
With such a crazy game going on until the very end, Celeste’s appearance ended successfully.
“I’m glad it was edited well and fun.”
Song Hyeong-bin stretched as he turned off the TV.
“When I watch it again while monitoring it like this, it feels different and more fun… …!”
“I hope you appear on other entertainment shows soon!”
“Hey, don’t grab my arm so hard!”
The two people of the same age also expressed great satisfaction.
Of course, Yumin Ha expressed her excitement much more roughly.
Chae Eun-gyu, who was watching the scene, gently calmed Yoo Min-ha down and sorted out the situation.
“We have to go to pre-recording for the broadcast early tomorrow, so let’s go to bed early. We shouldn’t stay up late, right?”
“yes!”
* * *
Celeste’s debut week, the last music show, was held at SBM Studios.
Up until now we had been pre-recording at dawn, but this time it was our turn at a relatively late hour, 11am.
Maybe it was because I was able to sleep a little more, but my body also felt lighter.
And above all… … .
‘I definitely feel like my passive skills have gone up a level.’
‘Worship and Revere’, which ridiculously increases the presence on stage.
Even when I was at C rank, I could clearly feel the improvement in my skills.
I’ve always wondered what kind of scenery would unfold if this skill’s level were to increase.
‘Now, even though I’m not singing, I feel like the fans’ eyes are focused on every little movement I make.’
We always make time to communicate with our fans during our reorganization time.
Even when I wasn’t speaking, I felt like the audience’s eyes were turning towards me.
When the stage started and my solo part came out, there were sometimes louder cheers than before.
‘If we look at this reaction, it really is a beneficial effect, but… … .’
I sat there thinking to myself on the way back to the waiting room.
I was worried that if the ‘Worship and Revere’ skill were to rise above A and gain more influence, it might actually have a negative effect.
For example, there may be someone who actually kneels during the performance.
Or, unintentional commotion may occur during fan signing events or daily fan manager time when there is close interaction with fans.
And having all the attention focused on me isn’t a good thing in the long run, considering that idols are group performers. That is, unless you’re performing on stage at the same time as other groups or competing with them.
‘First, we need to take a slow look at the effects.’
We returned to the waiting room, retouched our makeup, and took a breather.
“… … I’ll go to the bathroom for a bit.”
“I’ll go with you too, Yuncheol.”
“Do you need to go to the bathroom too?”
“I want to have a cup of coffee after a long time.”
As I was about to leave the waiting room with Ji Yoon-cheol, the members listened to me in astonishment and began ordering among themselves.
“Charis, coffee for me too.”
“Brother, I want an ionic drink!”
“……i get it.”
I unintentionally became everyone’s errand boy.
While Ji Yoon-cheol was going to the bathroom, I stood in front of the vending machine and diligently picked out the drinks the members wanted.
I couldn’t take five at once, so I was planning to take just the coffee back first.
“… … .”
“… … .”
It seemed like I heard something talking coming from the bathroom where Ji Yoon-cheol had gone.
Suddenly, I felt something ominous, so I slowed down my footsteps and approached the men’s bathroom.
“… …Yooncheol-ah. How is it that you haven’t changed at all and are still the same?”
I’ve heard this voice somewhere… … .
Yes. This is Halight Go Yoon-seok.
