# 209

“Thank you for your hard work~!”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

All recording has been completed.

After filming was over, I went around greeting each and every cast and staff member.

I diligently went around the studio to meet the PD who cast me for this program and thank him, but unfortunately, he said he was out for a while.

“Hey, you’re really evil! Who told you that you can play word chain like that?”

“My manager told me.”

“You studied that again in the meantime? You’re really an amazing guy.”

While waiting for the PD, I chatted with the members.

Kang Si-yoon was about to brag about my word-playing skills, but I had more pressing matters to attend to.

“When on earth were these placards made?”

“I made it without you knowing. What do you think? Isn’t the quality good?”

“… … This is an educational show, Siyoon. It’s not an entertainment show.”

“Then you were allowed to play word chain so cruelly on an educational program? Hey, let’s not be hypocritical of each other. Okay?”

“ha.”

I touched my forehead and sighed.

“I prayed to God not to let me do anything weird on the day of recording.”

“Hey, what’s wrong with this! I made this to cheer you on!”

“I never asked for such an embarrassing comment!”

“This is how a bow is supposed to be done!”

If this kind of banter continues, there will be no end.

Fortunately, Song Hyeong-bin gently intervened and changed the subject.

“Isn’t this a real charismatic Korean? Siyoon, you definitely confirmed it back then. That he’s a charismatic Estonian?”

“It was like that on the passport. It was like that on the passport.”

“Don’t say ‘according to the passport’ twice, Shiyoon. Does that mean I forged my passport?”

“That could be the case.”

Surprisingly, this is correct.

I felt a stinging sensation for no reason and coughed a few times.

“I really enjoyed watching it today! It was fun to watch because it seemed like Brother Karis was enjoying it too!”

“… … And I was also happy that the elderly people around me treated me so well.”

“That’s right! Every time my brother got the answer right, he kept high-fiving the person sitting next to him!”

It seems like it was a very satisfying viewing experience for the younger siblings.

I’m glad you had a good time with the elderly people around you.

‘I thought I would feel awkward because of the large age gap between me and the general audience, but it actually felt like I was attending a talent show.’

I scratched the ball.

If that’s the case, then it would mean that I’m the one who’s trying so hard to show off my talents.

Well, it’s somewhat true, so let’s just move on.

I’m spending my time waiting for PD-nim.

“Excuse me, over there.”

I heard a voice calling me.

When I looked back, there stood Na Ju-young, the high school student who had a bloody fight with me in the finals.

“Hello. Thank you for your hard work today.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Oh, there’s something I wanted to say… … .”

Na Ju-young hesitated for a moment, then quickly extended her hand.

“I had so much fun today! I was surprised at how well you spoke Korean!”

“ah.”

I was briefly surprised when I saw Na Ju-young’s hand.

Actually, I was aware of it.

That Na Ju-young had been keeping an eye on me since filming started.

I thought it was natural to be concerned about the opponents who were being held in check because I was at an age where my competitive spirit was boiling.

I felt a subtle sense of familiarity from Na Ju-young, who was standing in front of me now.

‘It’s like… … .’

Where on earth do I get this feeling of foreboding?

As I was thinking about it, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

Yes, right now, Na Ju-young was strangely emitting the usual celebrity vibe.

‘Did we become more intimate thanks to the fierce battle of wits we had today?’

I smiled and shook his hand.

“Thank you. This was my first time on a quiz show like this, and it was more enjoyable than I had imagined. I hope to see you again next time.”

As soon as she heard my words, Na Ju-young’s face brightened.

“Me too! Hmm, ahem! I’ll go to that house and listen to Celeste’s songs all over again.”

“I would be honored if you would do so.”

“I’ll be cheering you on!”

While I was waving goodbye, the members slowly approached me.

“Wow, Charis is amazing. Did you even make a new fan while recording?”

When Kang Si-yoon spoke while resting his chin on my shoulder, Yoo Min-ha, who was next to him, laughed out loud and agreed.

“As expected, Brother Charis captivates everyone regardless of gender!”

“… … When you say it like that, it makes me sound like I’ve become a nine-tailed fox.”

“It’s much more powerful than a nine-tailed fox.”

“Well, well. If a normal gumiho grows by eating only one liver, then Charis ate the heart and lungs as well.”

“… … Now, aren’t you just a savage and not a gumiho?”

“Is that so?”

When the word “gumiho” came up, Kang Si-yoon’s eyes sparkled as if he had seized a good opportunity.

“In the first place, isn’t the nine-tailed fox a Korean folktale? In the West, shouldn’t it be a demon or a nightmare? You’re Korean, right?”

“Before that, Mongmarani. Stop seeing strange things, Siyoon.”

“Wow, Siyoon was watching that all by himself?”

“I feel like I only carry my cell phone these days―.”

“Oh, it’s not that it’s weird. I also read webtoons following Charis. You guys are going too far.”

Chae Eun-gyu burst out laughing and hit my shoulder, wondering what was so funny.

“It’s funny how you always take things so seriously, you know that?”

“I don’t know.”

“I like it better. I guess we should keep teasing each other.”

“Kang Si-yoon alone is enough to make fun of me. If you join me, I won’t have any sanity left.”

“I’m curious about this, Charisra, who has become worn out.”

I gave up on the conversation.

I wondered if I had used the word ‘psychic sympathy’ for nothing. I never thought that all the members would feel this refreshed and spew such illogical words at me.

But sometimes the quietest guys make the weirdest noises.

“… … .”

Ji Yoon-cheol, who had been quietly staring at my cheering placard, muttered something frightening.

“Should I make more of these later? They’re fun.”

“Oh, Yuncheol! You really know a thing or two! Should we make some placards ourselves and hand them out to the celebrities later?”

“I think it’s a good idea.”

“Plus, I have to write down all the weird things that Charis is embarrassed about.”

“If you’re going to give it to your fans, think of something normal, please!”

* * *

Just before the end of the 4th week of activities, the celebrities turned on the KBC channel, which they don’t usually watch.

There was little reason to watch KBC on a Friday evening.

But today was different.

Because the news broke that Charis will be appearing on the Korean quiz show .

―(Quote) So, you’re saying that an Estonian guest appeared on a Korean quiz show… and the rest of the native Korean members went to cheer on the Estonian guest?

└Something is terribly wrong

└Something big is coming ㄷㄷㄷ

└Honestly, I’m looking forward to it

―But why on earth is this person reading women’s romance novels?? ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Rather, it’s good. Real, what is the Northern Air Force? It seems like that.

└The big picture for understanding women’s minds

It is truly unprecedented for a member from overseas to appear on a quiz show, especially one in the Korean language.

No one could have predicted what would happen.

Some expected that Charis would show off her amazing Korean language skills that she usually shows off.

Some predicted that no matter how good Charis was at Korean, he would not be able to solve such a quiz.

And when the long-awaited main broadcast aired, the same reactions erupted on celebrities’ social media.

-How on earth does the magpie know?

New names I know: Woodpecker, Pigeon, Sparrow

└Daughter~ Mommy trusts our daughter!! You’re not watching a video of guys hanging out together, are you?

└I looked it up and found that there is a red hawk in Estonia.

└No, I learned Korean through romance novels, but where is the romance novel with a magpie in it? It’s not even a stork.

―Hey, bbrlbbrlbbrl, can someone please give me that nutrition king cut? He’s so handsome.

└The noble lady that Charis is talking about was a Goguryeo princess? What the hell kind of novel are you reading?

└I think Suzha is more generous than I thought. I think he will treat the Three Kingdoms as a romance novel.

└The Peach Blossom Land is also a romance

└It’s like seriously getting a Charis Han-neung sword

Charis, who knows words that are difficult enough to be awarded, and has no hesitation in solving time-limited quizzes.

It really felt like I knew more words than people who have lived in Korea their entire lives.

There were some celebrities who wondered if this was really possible, but they just let it go, remembering the images Charis had shown in the past.

Thinking about how Charis has always been someone who exceeds expectations.

But the highlight of today’s broadcast was not the shocking and terrifying ‘Nutrition King’.

The scene where Karis advances to the finals and plays a round of word games with Na Ju-young was truly the highlight of the broadcast.

-This is seriously so vicious ㅜㅜ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└From now on, all word games will be played using the monk’s method.

└Isn’t that what Kang Si-yoon told you? He said that if you just finish with the power and reverse, it all makes sense, and he taught me the sure-win method.

└Ah, f*ck, in the meantime, look at the placard in Kang Si-yoon’s handㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└(Enlarged photo) ★Charis, the best Korean speaker in Celeste★

└Hey… You guys are all Korean.

ended with Charis’ victory.

And soon, Celeste’s comeback schedule was also finalized.

An activity that clearly demonstrated their monstrous power by continuously breaking their own records.

He was successful in winning numerous trophies and was considered a successful activity among celebrities.

The only regret is that this time, the dream of the Triple Crown did not come true.

Expectations were very high for their comeback at a time when there were no major idols.

However, not only were there no major idols, but another situation was created where they had to compete head-on with the powerhouses of music charts.

The wall of Hwanjo and Plea, who showed consistent form on the music charts, was high.

No matter how well-made a song is, it is still an ‘idol song’.

This means that solo artists who release songs that appeal to all age groups are bound to lag behind in terms of music chart performance.

In the end, was unable to reach number one on any major domestic music chart during its entire active period.

―I really feel sorry for you… ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I thought you were definitely worthy of first place

└I feel sorry for the public who don’t know how cool the formula is.

└I feel even more regretful because I thought everything from the concept to the song was perfect

└I guess I should just think that the timing was bad… .

―If you’re going to overlap activities, wouldn’t it be easier to just stick with other male idols?? I think he’d win even if he was to stick with ㅋㄴㅅ

└Of course it is because now everyone is moving from ㅋㄴㅅ to this side

└You already forgot about the Jeongbyeongrait Kejiral Show? Thinking about it again makes me vomit again

└I can only hope that next time, during the empty house season, you will come back on your own… .

It was a result that could not help but bring deep regret to celebrities.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the remaining parts were overwhelming, but the record of the terrestrial triple crown was so valuable that everyone acknowledged that it was something that had to be achieved.

This feeling like the last piece of the puzzle is missing.

But even if you keep saying you regret it, nothing will change.

All we can do is hope that the energy of the universe will come together next time.

After the activity termination teaser was over, celebrities started to focus on other topics.

December is just around the corner.

December, the month that marks the end of the year.

And for idol fans, it has a different meaning.

That means the end-of-year music festivals and award ceremonies are just around the corner.
