The Crown Prince in the Mang Game is Good at Idols - Chapter 195



Only Noblemtl

Episode 195

The firepower was tremendous.

We expected it to do better than our debut album, since the company had already told us that pre-orders had exceeded the number of orders.

Not only did we sell over 1.3 million copies on the first day of the initial sales, but when we started performing on music shows, our initial cumulative sales surpassed our previous record.

‘1.78 million copies in just 5 days… … .’

I fell into silence for a moment, looking at the hit charts that summarized the initial records of all groups on my phone.

Considering that album purchases usually increase on the last day of initial sales, this album is not only aiming for two consecutive million-seller sales, but also aiming for double million-seller sales of over 2 million copies.

It’s like the best achievement a rookie who just debuted this year can achieve.

‘I am able to enjoy this honor thanks to the fans.’

It was the fans who chose Celeste through and who continued to support us as we debuted as Celeste.

Since I am at an age where I think it is natural to give back as much as I have received, I have decided to work even harder and more diligently in front of celebrities in the future.

Today is finally my first day as a daily fan manager.

While moving to SBM studio, all the members fainted.

It seems like everyone was extra tired because SBM’s music show has the characteristic of being pre-recorded early in the morning.

I was a little tired, but strangely I couldn’t sleep, so I had a short conversation with my manager.

“Aren’t you sleepy, Charis?”

“Yes. I think I’ll be even more tired if I fall asleep now.”

“I’m in good shape.”

Manager Hyung glanced at Chae Eun-gyu, who was snoring and turning his head from side to side.

“… … Let’s pretend we didn’t see that.”

“I think that would be better.”

“Hahaha! Oh, by the way, it was Charis’s turn today, Daily Manager?”

“yes.”

Manager Hyung, who mentioned the daily fan manager, spoke with a slight pause.

“Well, maybe I’m overthinking things, but… … I hope you’re as careful as possible today, Charis. There are a few more people on the Sanok today than usual, and since it’s you, I’m starting to get a little worried.”

“I know what you mean.”

I nodded and thought back to the fan manager activities that Kang Si-yoon and Heo Yu-bin had done the last two times.

“Are you saying that it’s better not to do too many little things?”

“Yeah. Of course the fans will like it, and the other managers will try their best to keep order, but… … If you feel like it’s an excessive request, you don’t have to do it. That’s what I wanted to say.”

There was a hint of uneasiness at the end of Manager Hyung’s words.

“Actually, Charis.”

“yes.”

“Before I came to Sigma, there was another group I was in charge of somewhere else. They were all nice and good, but they didn’t gain much popularity among the general public. As a result, many people in the fandom started to become strangely obsessed with the members.”

“… … Are you talking about a private life?”

“Yes. Anyway, I just spoke my mind because I remembered some old memories. I was a little anxious from the airport back then.”

It happened at the airport last time.

I immediately realized what Manager Hyung was afraid of.

When we headed to Jeju Island to film , even though we arrived at Incheon Airport without any prior notice, several celebrities were waiting for us.

And he didn’t hesitate to ask us personal questions, ignoring the guards.

Although it didn’t develop into something more than that, Manager Hyung must have been quite flustered as it overlapped with his old memories.

So now you are asking me to do the same thing.

I smiled at my manager brother.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be as careful as I can.”

“As expected, you are trustworthy, our Charis.”

Even on the way to work inside the SBM building, many fans were seen heavily armed with black long padding.

A crowd that includes not only celebrities but also the fandoms of the idols who will be appearing on today’s broadcast.

We quickly greeted each other while wearing masks and headed to the waiting hallway.

“Brother, don’t you think you’ve been waiting longer than usual today?”

Yumin Ha spoke to me as she took off her mask.

As Manager Hyung said, SBM pre-recordings have more participants than other broadcasts. In a way, it’s natural.

“It certainly seemed like a lot.”

“It’s incredibly chilly in the morning, but I’m so grateful that so many of you came!”

Yumin smiled brightly as if there were none of the worries that her manager and I had shared.

As I soaked up Yoo Min-ha’s positive energy, I was able to relieve some of my worries.

The more people come, the more beautiful the view from the stage becomes.

After a while, it was time to check the attendance of the workshop participants.

“Caris, have a safe trip.”

“We’ll be watching from beyond the door too.”

“You don’t have to do that―”

“Oh my, you bastard! When I do it, everyone sticks to the door like gum!”

“Oh no, I got caught.”

“I hope you don’t get caught, Inma.”

Kang Si-yoon chuckled and tapped my shoulder.

“It’ll end sooner than you think, so have fun with your fans.”

“i get it.”

I went up to the lobby with a bunch of photo cards and stamps.

The moment I step out the door, guided by security guards and managers.

I could hear the commotion of celebrities waiting for me and the sound of camera shutters simultaneously.

‘I didn’t know it when I saw it from behind, but seeing it from the front, it’s quite something.’

But the order wasn’t completely disrupted.

The bodyguards physically stopped people from getting too close to me, and with other fan managers helping out, I was able to focus solely on handing out photo cards.

“hello.”

“You’re so handsome! Could you give me a heart…?”

“yes.”

Some people asked for a ball heart, while others asked for poses that weren’t too difficult.

I thought that if it was just to this extent, there wouldn’t be a situation that would make Manager-hyung worry.

“Hello Charis!”

“Hello. Here is the photo card… … .”

“Do you remember what I said at the fan signing back then? There was something we promised to do every time we saw each other!”

“yes?”

About halfway through handing out the photo cards, a fan suddenly appeared and made a comment to me.

I was momentarily dumbfounded when I heard the question.

During the fan signing events, I had conversations with many people, and they all left me different messages and post-its.

So, among them, I can’t recall what this person is talking about right now… … . Absolutely not. It’s impossible.

No matter how good my memory and observation skills are, I can’t help it if I do dozens of autograph sessions.

When I remained silent for a moment, Celeb stuck two fingers into his cheek.

“We decided to greet each other like this every time we see each other~!”

“Oh, that’s right.”

I quickly improvised my response, poking my index and middle fingers into the celeb’s cheeks.

Then, Celeb raised his cell phone camera high with a very satisfied expression on his face.

Because he covered his face with his phone, it felt like he was having a one-on-one conversation with the camera.

“Are you going to eat well today? You can’t starve!”

“thank you.”

“What do you want for the menu? Will you tell me the menu?”

Celeb came closer and closer, asking questions one after another.

The bodyguard noticed that the distance between us had narrowed, so he immediately put his arm out and firmly told me not to come any closer.

I quickly handed out the photo cards as I had heard before and moved on to the next celebrity.

‘Is this what they mean by not creating unnecessary situations?’

If it’s a simple request, of course I can grant it.

Ask them to give you a heart or say hello while looking at the camera.

But, of course, it is problematic to try to naturally approach someone by asking them personal questions in a cascade.

Manager Hyung seemed to know this situation well because he had seen it often.

It means that it wasn’t a needless worry.

I just thought it would be the same for celebrities, so I continued my daily fan manager activities.

“I was planning to go out drinking with that handsome guy today, but I gave up and came to see you instead! Good job!”

“Charis, do the pose we decided on today during the ending fairy! Got it?”

There were a series of embarrassing situations as difficult questions and comments popped up here and there.

Fortunately, no one made physical contact with me under the supervision of my bodyguards.

Still, it was impossible to completely avoid the sudden moments that erupted here and there.

‘I wonder if Kang Si-yoon and Heo Yu-bin were in the same situation.’

Because I was only observing from behind the door, I couldn’t hear the entire conversation.

Or maybe this situation just happened to me on my turn.

I handed out the remaining photo cards while repeating Manager Hyung’s words in my head.

I kept a smile on my face until the very end and even greeted them properly. Then, under the protection of security guards and managers, I returned to the building.

“Thank you for your hard work, Charis.”

“Was it hard today because there were more fans?”

“Haha, that was okay.”

I smiled at Song Hyeong-bin and Chae Eun-gyu who welcomed me.

“Where did the other kids go?”

“Oh, they were watching for a while and then they all went to the bathroom together. Yoon-cheol went to get his earphones checked because they seemed to be slightly broken.”

“All three of them went to the bathroom?”

Chae Eun-gyu shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know either. Siyoon said it wasn’t fun to go to the bathroom alone, so she dragged me away.”

“He’s a friend you never know even if you know him.”

“You know that now?”

“No. I knew it from the first time I saw it in .”

Another surprise was prepared at the SBM headquarters.

This time, fortunately, in a good way.

The first terrestrial music show first place trophy ever earned.

Ironically enough, the first place trophy for SBM, the only one they missed out on in the last week, was the first to be handed to them this time.

‘This time, can I finally achieve the triple crown that I couldn’t achieve before?’

As I looked at the scattered pollen, I thought of what Chae Eun-gyu had said during our last activity.

There’s still a lot of opportunity left for us, so there’s no need to rush.

I can work harder because there is a next time.

I had the feeling that the final destination was approaching faster and faster.

So after all the work at SBM was done, we started heading home.

For some reason, I couldn’t help but feel mentally and physically exhausted.

The surprises for us aren’t over yet.

“… … Don’t you think it’s gotten longer than when you were at work?”

Ji Yoon-cheol, wearing a black mask, spoke briefly while looking at the crowd of people gathered to watch us leave work.

Seriously, there seemed to be a lot more people wearing black now than on the morning commute.

“Guys, let’s walk quickly.”

“yes.”

That’s when the members came out of the building together.

Cell phones and cameras rushed at us from all directions.

No matter how fast we walked, we all walked together at the same pace.

There were so many questions being asked around me that I couldn’t even understand what was being said.

Looking at the members’ faces, memories of Incheon Airport come back vividly.

Still, we kept saying hello and walking as fast as we could.

But right then.

I suddenly heard a fan asking something to Song Hyung-bin, who was walking next to me.

“Hyungbin, Hyungbin! Did you receive the black hoodie I sent you for your birthday?”

Asking if the gift sent to Song Hyeong-bin was received well.

I don’t know why this question stood out among all this noise.

Song Hyeong-bin nodded immediately after hearing the question.

“I remember! Thank you.”

“Oh, you remember! That’s good!”

The female fan smiled, seeming pleased.

But immediately, the tone of voice changed somewhat strangely.

“But why aren’t you wearing it?”
