The Malicious Member Returns! Episode 175

* * *

I put on the brightest smile I could on my face and clapped my hands in front of the mirror in the practice room along with the members.

Because it would have been awkward if I, who created this situation, had a cold sweat dripping down my face and made a face like, ‘Is this really okay?’

however.

“Well then, everyone… please say hello to the live, city… listeners…”

“Ah, okay. Okay, then… one, two. Hello! This is the JDS crew!”

“Yes, hello! This is Target of Xenon, Tiozae!”

“-no see!”

When I saw people greeting each other loudly but also engaging in a strange war of nerves, I realized that it was no easy task.

“Haha! We’re all appearing in our own idol-produced content… This is really moving. I couldn’t have imagined it until I was a third-year repeater!”

“Um, yes. We also didn’t expect to have guests starting from our first content….”

“Mr. Jaeha, is this good for you?”

“Oh, that’s obvious. … Of course it’s fine.”

It’s a good thing that Teacher Dasol turned on the live broadcast to say hello and greet people for promotional purposes. If it weren’t for that, everyone would have smiled and said something cruel.

No, isn’t it?

“Chun-yong, sir… this way… .”

“… Haha! But still, today our members are competing against Dasol’s crew. Wouldn’t it be right for me to be here?”

The person who turned on the live broadcast seems to be more true to his purpose than anyone else here.

At the same time as that voice, I felt the members’ pointed gazes and had to hurriedly decline the offer.

“… Tch.”

Hey, look at that grumbling that doesn’t match the shell.

Where did you see that guy? He’s the hottest dancer in the street scene in Korea right now.

He’s just a 7-year-old boy who’s upset because his favorite toy doesn’t work the way he wants it.

anyhow.

“after….”

I sighed quietly so that no one could see, and carefully observed the current atmosphere.

Now, the place that the members of T.O.J. and I have found to film our own content is none other than the JDS Crew’s practice room.

I told you to come here.

To address the lack of self-produced content that we discovered while preparing the repackaged album, there was no better solution for us at the moment.

Let me tell you why… .

First of all, first.

“Ah, Tioz… the reason why you guys… came to our… training room… is… .”

“Oh my, Jin-hyung. The viewers are going to explode. Let me explain for you, okay?”

“Im, Seungho… This… Ssah, Gai…”

“Hahaha! Yes, the reason T.O.J. members came to our practice room today! It’s to film our first self-produced content together! Wow, applause! I was wondering when I’d ever get to use my new camera, but I’m going to use it this time!”

The fact that all the equipment that Tioze needs right now is already here.

Now that Gao Yan has led most of AG’s content team on overseas locations.

Right now, our TIOZE was in need of a space and equipment to film our own content.

But then, an idea just popped into my head.

The JDS crew’s practice room is surprisingly spacious, and it is well-equipped with filming equipment, as they regularly film and upload their own choreography videos.

It was a bit funny that an idol from some agency would suddenly borrow another dance team’s filming equipment, rent a space, and invite guests for their first content.

This part satisfied the second reason.

“Ah, I filmed a video with Chun-yong before and I wanted to see it again, so it turned out well. Huh?”

“This, this time, for sure… Seriously, really…”

The JDS crew members like me more than I thought.

I don’t know if it was because of the influence of Dasol, who had wanted to recruit me as a member of his crew since the days of , or if he just really liked me.

“Wow, Chun-Chun! It’s been a really long time since I’ve seen you, huh? How have you been doing? I’ve been looking for all your stages!”

“Ah, bro. … Yes. Thanks to you, I was able to finish it safely. Haha, how have you been, bro?”

“You must have been having a hard time, then? Come here. Let’s hug!”

When I see her smiling brightly and hugging me tightly, I know it.

I thought it didn’t matter either way.

Look how neat it is!

We can also easily film our own self-produced content, which is what we need most right now.

In addition, I also solved the problem of wasting time preparing for the repackaged album by going back and forth between the practice room and the filming studio.

By inviting the hottest dance team these days as guests, we are increasing the topicality of the content!

however.

“ha ha ha….”

In that situation where everything had to be perfect the more I organized it, I couldn’t help but shed invisible cold sweat.

…there was a little problem here.

okay.

The JDS crew seemed strangely fond of me.

They readily lend us their precious practice rooms and filming equipment, and even go so far as to appear as guests.

At first glance, it might seem like they are trying to look good to the idol members they like and show favor to the mentors and mentees they met on … .

“… Ha, anyway… The preview, the live… is about to end… and I’ll see you soon… in a video.”

… how could I not know that it wasn’t that?

The problematic situation began to surface in earnest when Dasol, who had been hosting Outgram Live, turned off her cell phone.

“Then, after this shoot… Chun-yong… will officially… become… a member of the… JDS crew… irregularly.”

“Ouch! Teacher Dasol! I told you it wasn’t like that!”

“Hey, Tiozes. This is difficult. Good things are good things. Huh? We’re helping. We need to come too!”

They say that if something comes, something must go?

This is why I hesitated until the very end when I suggested this to the members and Hobin hyung.

The fierce headhunting that unfolded when I came to the JDS Crew practice room to film a choreography video to check the article about me coming out of Queens.

That will continue until today.

“Of course, we want to treat the idols we have a good relationship with well. But, wouldn’t it be nice if T.O.J. also repays us? Okay?”

“More, more… .”

“Yeah, yeah! Didn’t the manager say earlier that he’d settle the rental fee and appearance fee separately? You don’t have to pay me that, really! We just need Chun-Chun to be our guest member during our idol inactivity period!”

“Yeah… right. Well… done.”

I had to put my hand on my forehead at the situation that unfolded in an instant, something that the members, I, and Hobin hyung had all expected.

No… this is worse than I expected.

“Let’s ask for your opinion. Okay? Okay, Chun-yong! We’ve found a separate contract for you and brought it here! The conditions are good too! Trust me, a law school dropout!”

“Yeah! Trust the third-year dancer! Seungho Lim is the smartest among us!”

Among the JDS crew members, the two who were most enthusiastic about recruiting me, along with Teacher Dasol, rushed at me as if they were going to grab me by the collar.

“Um, I’m sorry. After all, our Chun-yong is quite shy despite his appearance… Could you show me the contract? Since I’m the leader.”

“Oh my, I’m a third-time student! That’s possible. I got into the Department of Practical Music at Korea University as the top student!”

Starting with the two oldest members of Tioze, the members blocked my approach as if they were hiding me.

“Chun, Yong-ssi… Those, idiots… Leave me… alone. For now, the two of us… go… over there…”

Meanwhile, the person who was the most adult was trying to drag me by the arm and head to the office next to the practice room!

What about easy self-produced content shooting from the base?

In an instant, the situation became chaotic, so I had to close my eyes tightly and raise my voice.

“… Wait a minute! Can you all just calm down for a moment? Okay?”

“Uh uh… .”

I couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh at the countless eyes that were fixed on me in an instant.

There are many people who want me, La.

It’s a luxury I’ve never enjoyed in my trashy days, so why am I feeling so burdened and embarrassed?

But for now, I needed to put my feelings aside and sort out this mess.

I stuck my tongue out slightly and opened my mouth towards the JDS crew members who were slowly rushing towards me.

I pretended not to see the [JDS Crew Irregular Member Contract] that Seungho hyung was holding.

“… Crew members. Have you read the plan that Hobin hyung sent you?”

“Oh, Seungho Lim read all of that. It wasn’t anything special. It was like a relay dance quiz… It was all about dancing. That’s why our crew said they’d do it too.”

“Hmm, that’s right. Show me the moves and I’ll guess what kind of dance it is. Chun-yong, you planned it, right? You brought a dance as your first content. It seems like you’re the right person to join our crew…”

“Haha! Well, I appreciate the compliment, but….”

As Seungho hyung said earlier, what the members and I planned was definitely something like a ‘dance competition’.

However, if it was just a really normal dance competition, I wouldn’t have said I would do it with the dance crew members.

I quickly cut off Seungho hyung’s words as he slowly came in like a snake slithering over a wall, and made eye contact with our members one by one.

“… … .”

“Chun-yong, hyung… .”

Even in the midst of subtle embarrassment and tension, is it really like our members to show a sense of solemnity?

Yeah, of course.

This isn’t an ordinary dance competition, it’s a dance competition for self-produced content.

… our members won’t give up easily.

I made a decision under those gazes and quickly opened my mouth without anyone having time to stop me.

“… If the crew wins, I’ll give you a wish ticket. Is that okay?”

And at that moment.

It goes without saying that there were more than a few people whose eyes lit up.

* * *

From the moment Jinda Sol received the message from Kim Chun Yong asking, ‘Can you help me?’

The JDS crew members, who had been waiting for that kind of contact, quickly decided on their goals.

Even if AG says they will settle the accounts in a different way, let’s push ahead with the plan to recruit Kim Chun-yong as an irregular member.

You might wonder why these high-ego dancers are so obsessed with one idol member, but they all have their reasons.

“I’m talking about Chun-Chun. It’s a bit… similar to Jin-hyung, huh.”

“Yeah. Did you see the first episode of ? I saw it right then. At that time, Jin hyung said he wanted to be a crew member.”

“What about me? That street dance video. The one with Iric. I got the feeling after watching it. It’s Jin hyung.”

“… You absolutely have to bring her. An idol? Tell her to do it. But she can also be a dancer. You can do that!”

JDS Crew is a dance crew comprised of people who are cultivating their own identity with the goal of becoming Jindasol.

For those people, the moments when Kim Chun-yong gave off the nuance of Jinda Sol were bound to be harsh.

Because the moment Kim Chun-yong mentioned ‘Wish’, they felt like Kim Chun-yong had already become a member of their crew.

I don’t know about Kim Chun-yong, but I thought the other members of T.O.J. wouldn’t be their match.

“… Yes! Let me explain it again. I’ll show the choreography video to the first person. After following the choreography for 30 seconds, pass it on to the person behind you and have them dance it. Then, if the last person to guess the song title gets 1 point! The first person to collect 10 points wins.”

Even when Kim Chun-yong, the planner of this content and the person at the center of the current situation, explained it again, their thoughts remained the same.

I just had a happy worry, thinking, ‘What song should we film first if Chun-Chun joins our team?’

Even though they already knew that Tioje had chosen 10 songs and that they had chosen 10 songs.

And, the moment the video starts playing where the confident JDS crew members are the first to open the relay dance quiz.

“What… Wait a minute. What kind of dance is this…? No, more importantly, what song is it?!”

The face of Seungho Lim, who was standing at the very front, collapsing strangely was something the members of T.O.J. had expected.

Oh, I see.

…I told you it won’t be easy.
