The Crown Prince in the Mang Game is Good at Idols - Chapter 194



Only Noblemtl

Episode 194

Celeste’s second mini album, released in advance to 500 lucky celebrities before her full comeback, .

You can understand why the album title was chosen as an English word that implies ‘crazy’ by listening to the title song.

Captivating lyrics layered on top of powerful, sweeping beats.

Adding to that the acting of the members who are good at expressing lyrics, it really drove the viewers crazy.

As usual, such sentiments could be easily found in the reviews of celebrities who attended Celeste’s comeback show.

―2X1025 Celeste Comeback Show Review That’s Really Hard… . It’s going to be a long one⸝⸝ʚ̴̶̷̆ ̯ʚ̴̶̷̆⸝⸝

└First of all, compared to the previous comeback show, the waiting time wasn’t that long and (relatively) I was a bit surprised that there was a separate waiting area… . I thought they’d just lay out chairs on the street, but I ended up waiting in an empty room next to the studio?!! Of course, entry and exit were strictly restrictedㅠ

└The stage order is Pillow-Overclock-Formula

The kids kept talking to me the best they could on stage, so it was really fun… . Just like last time, the title song was the last song, but honestly, I didn’t know they would do all three songs, so I was suddenly moved.

└Pillow didn’t have any choreography, they just sang, it was just a harmony of angels from a pretty boy choir… . It was a calm medium tempo song with an acoustic guitar accompaniment and piano sounds, and they were wearing the white outerwear that came out during the second comp. They really looked like a group of fairies. Ji Yoon-cheol was especially shocking. The 187cm kitten is real. ㅠ ·̫ ㅠ

└Honestly, I think the best part about overclocking was the part I heard in Harame?? There’s choreography and it’s exciting, but I felt like the Pillow Group Fairy Situation was so shocking that it had relatively less impact… (My opinion) The song itself has a playful vibe, and since they’re promoting their second album, the kids seem more relaxed and you could see them all enjoying themselves

└After two stages, the last one was Formula… Of course, wearing Confo Techwear… Even though I knew that Charis and Hyungbin had chokers around their necks, I almost fainted again when I saw them in person. That’s how the second stage of the wild dragon race began after the group fairy incident, but Charis tore up the intro from the beginning.

└He’s really damn handsome. Why do people always say he’s handsome? Seriously, I’m not joking. That’s all I can say… . This is not an exaggeration. I can’t tell if it’s because the light is shining or if it’s shining itself. He just pulled on the choker and showed the back of his neck and made a scene. I screamed along with the celebrity next to me who I was meeting for the first time.

└The choreography difficulty is also incredibly tough… Even including the A6 stage, it seems like there aren’t as many big movements and sharp angles as in Formula? It’s just like the spicy version of Cedar Light, but even the pace from beginning to end is… . In the meantime, the kids’ voices cut through the AR… . I think they graduated from a ninja training school as a group and trained under a waterfall

└What was especially good about this choreography was that there was a lot of pair choreography!! There’s a scene where Hyungbin lifts Yubin’s chin, and there’s a part where Yoonchul and Minha lean on each other and rap. It’s real reggaeton. You absolutely have to see this yourself. It’s so touching, like a storm. I don’t know who was in charge of the choreography this time, but I really want to bow to them.

└The chorus is easy to sing along to and addictive. It’s the perfect title to become famous through challenges… . But Yubin is in charge of the high notes this time too, so her neck gets bloodshot every time she appears ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, you don’t have to worry about being scammed!! As expected, Lip Buddy is loyal and loyal

└+) They still strictly checked our belongings, but it wasn’t like last time, and the snack in between was cup rice!! It was nice that the kids’ handwritten stickers were randomly attached to the top, and the security guards didn’t impose any sanctions or control us too much? It seems like it’ll be great if it continues like this,,,

The stage was even more well-received than the celebrities had expected.

I should say that it is a really rich composition from beginning to end.

Celebrities who visited the site all said, “It was so engrossing that I couldn’t take my eyes off it until the very end.”

Not only the song, but also the choreography, along with the traditional group dance, had sections where each member could add their own unique points, giving great satisfaction to the fans.

In particular, things like the pair choreography of Song Hyeong-bin and Heo Yu-bin were concepts that fans loved so much that they were dying to try them out.

There are still plenty of reactions left over after these bursts.

And word of mouth about this comeback album was spreading quickly not only within the Korean fandom, but also within overseas fandoms.

Even with the debut album, the record-breaking initial sales were possible thanks to the active participation of overseas fans.

This time, there was an advantage in that it was easier for overseas fans to understand the lyrics because there were more intuitive English lyrics.

Among them, the narration part that Charis and Jiyooncheol do during the intro and interlude was already gaining huge popularity.

―I don’t know why everyone is saying ‘pokryong’… . Does anyone know what this means (I don’t know why everyone is saying ‘pokryong’… . What does this mean?)

―Who came again to listen to this part?! [00:04] (Who came again to listen to this part?)

―Everyone is talking about Karis’s voice… can’t wait to see it in person (Everyone is talking about Karis’s voice… can’t wait to see it in person)

―OMG Yoonchul I’ll never run away from you (OMG Yoonchul, I’ll never run away from you)

―Yoobin’s smile is brighter than my future (Heo Yoo-bin’s smile is brighter than my future)

Lyrics such as “I can’t run away anywhere” and “I’m already in control” have succeeded in lighting a fire in the hearts of overseas fans.

Those among them who had vast capital at their disposal were already declaring war.

He said that he will soon be visiting Korea to hear the iconic lines of Karis and Jiyooncheol in person.

The overwhelming will to attend fan signing events was evident, with fans making massive advance reservations for the album.

This international craze has become even more powerful than before.

Even before Celeste’s official comeback date of November 1st, there were reports that the number of pre-orders was greater than the number of pre-orders received by distributors.

Celeste already holds the record for the highest first week sales of all time with their debut album, and at this pace, breaking that record on their own seemed like a goal that wasn’t impossible.

Celebrities who heard this news could not contain their excitement.

―I went to my grandmother’s house today and asked her, ‘Grandma, do you know Celeste?’

My grandmother used to call them ‘a world-class boy group with 1.55 million copies of their debut album sold in the first week and 1.6 million copies of their second album pre-ordered’.

This is Celeste’s class

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋBut it really sold a lot this time

└Of course

Why?

I’m fucking three f*cks

└ㄹㅈㄷ Sundeok

―Honestly, do you think we can surpass 1.01 million on the first day? Seriously, ladies… .

└It’s not like it’s a kingly god-like thing, it’s like it’ll just jump over

└The unity of the Orev unnies is really bad right now. I think someone translated and uploaded the thing that the other fandom uploaded a while ago… .;; They said there are a lot of overseas orders

└Aren’t you going to Haetu right after debuting???? F*ck ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

―It doesn’t matter because the album is sold a lot overseas… But if you want to take first place this time, the music chart performance will also be important.

└There are no male idols right now, it’s the season for burglars

└ㅇㅇㅇ I heard that ㅋㄴㅅ also finished its activities this year

└Solo artists who make comebacks other than idols are really annoying ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Ah, I see now that Hwanjo and Plea are making a comeback… . We’re in big trouble, Revs.

└ㄱㅊ Where is Seokshik not a brother?

└ㅇㅈ

The surge in album sales is certainly a good sign.

However, there was some concern among celebrities that Celeste, who has a large overseas fandom, might be pushed down in the Grapefruit charts.

Usually, music shows and year-end award ceremonies are based on domestic music distribution companies.

This means that there is a risk that an unfortunate event could occur where the album sells a lot but fails to rise high on the music charts.

If that happens, she might not be able to receive the first place trophy because she is being overshadowed by the heavyweight solo singers who are making a comeback with Celeste.

We’ll have to wait and see, but celebrities are thinking of scenarios like this in hopes that their idols will rise to even greater heights.

First of all, the most welcome news is that the public opinion that the debut album was successful only because of the popularity of ‘Idol Training Simulation’, which was forcibly formed by malicious netizens, has been put to rest.

Even if they are malicious commenters who lack common sense and thought, it is impossible to dismiss Celeste, who is almost certain to become a million-seller for the second time in a row, as a bubble.

With these hopeful indicators in mind, celebrities waited for November 1st, when the song and music video would be released.

But before the first day of November came, there was an announcement posted on the official Celeste cafe.

[Activity Daily Fan Manager Guide]

It was a notice announcing that the daily fan manager event was about to begin.

* * *

“Oh, I wanted to be the first.”

“Okay, who wants to play rock-paper-scissors?”

“I accepted it for nothing when it was going to end in one fight, not three.”

“Men are always in a third world war.”

“How come you become more and more cowardly as time goes by?”

“Oh my!”

The view from inside the car heading to where KNet Music K Showdown was filming was, um.

It was exactly the same as before, without any changes.

Heo Yu-bin glared at Kang Si-yoon with a sharp face.

“It’s lethal.”

“Who would have guessed that you would lose two games in a row, little brother?”

“I won’t do anything with you from now on.”

“Hey, hey, isn’t that a bit too much?”

We had a good laugh watching Kang Si-yoon wipe away his cold sweat.

To commemorate the activity, there was a special event planned this time.

A ‘Daily Fan Manager’ event where we take over the workshop attendance check stamp and workshop photo card distribution that was originally handled by our fan managers.

I thought it would be a great idea to repay the love celebrities have given us.

Our second album, released on November 1st, recorded a monstrous first-day sales of 1.3 million copies.

And today, the day our first music show was scheduled to be broadcast, we had sold 1.53 million copies, slightly short of our first album’s final record of 1.55 million copies.

A series of truly absurd records.

Thanks to that, my linked quest was also completed very easily.

It was so quick that I wondered if the quest to achieve two consecutive million-seller sales could end this quickly.

Since this was the first time for the members to participate in an event like this, they all argued that it would be great and that they would be the first to become the daily fan managers.

To ensure fair selection, a game of rock-paper-scissors was played.

Heo Yu-bin, who fell for Kang Si-yoon’s scheme, foolishly allowed the third battle and was pushed out.

“Let’s think positively, Yubin. It’s fun to watch Siyoon show off her talents first.”

“Hmm. That’s true.”

“Did you hear that, Siyoon?”

Chae Eun-gyu offered words of comfort to Heo Yu-bin and smiled at Kang Si-yoon.

“I look forward to your performance today.”

“Just leave it to me!”

“I didn’t mean to make you happy, though―”

Rather, for Kang Si-yoon, who likes receiving this kind of attention, it became a poison rather than a punishment.

I shook my head as I watched him humming.

Well, let’s say I secured a good test subject before it’s my turn.

We arrived at the KNet building early and headed to the waiting room to start preparing for rehearsal.

We checked the costumes and makeup, and double checked that the first music broadcast stage was well prepared.

All of the pre-planned schedules have been completed, and it is finally time to hand out attendance stamps and photo cards to the fans who gathered to attend the workshop.

“Can I get the stamp first and then the photo card?”

“Yes. We’ll check the personal information first, so Siyoon, just stamp it and hand out the card.”

“i look forward to!”

“It’s us.”

The two fan managers showed their support to Kang Si-yoon by raising their fists.

Heo Yu-bin, who was watching from behind, gave off a sad look.

“Can we watch from behind?”

“uh…….”

The fan managers waited for Manager Yeo Chang-min to arrive for confirmation.

The manager who came from far away and bought coffee from a vending machine said that it was okay as long as we didn’t go outside the building.

“If you all go outside, the fans might crowd around, so just watch from inside. Okay?”

“yes!”

“I just wanted to see what Siyoon would do.”

At Song Hyeong-bin’s words, Manager Hyung took out his cell phone with a refreshing expression.

“Should I take a front row fan cam?”

“Oh, please. You don’t have to go that far!”

We all laughed together while listening to Song Hyeong-bin’s colorful voice.

Starting with this daily fan manager activity, we didn’t know what would happen to us.
