The Malicious Member Returns! Episode 184

* * *

From the moment she started holding a colored pencil instead of a spoon in her hand, Moon Yoon-ha has been living her life hearing that she is different.

He has talent.

I’m going to be an artist.

Send it to the preview and art school.

… … This and that and that.

Even when I was able to discern right from wrong, things weren’t much different.

No, I started to think that way more myself.

I have a special talent for dazzling other people’s eyes. I think I can do something.

Because she was born with talent recognized by everyone, when she chose her career path, she attracted the attention of everyone around her.

What can I do to surprise people?

What kind of work will this crazy, talented guy with a dirty personality end up doing?

A man who can be said to be Moon Yoon-ha’s closest confidant says this about her.

“I thought he would be in the people business from the beginning. Just… from the moment I first saw him in the trailer? I didn’t know he would be a visual director, but I thought he would have a job dealing with celebrities.”

“Oh, how did you know that? Director Moon never talks about himself, so every bit of information like this is precious!”

“Ugh, don’t you know his personality? If he knew I did this interview, he might stab me.”

“Hey, should I give you some security…?”

“I’m joking. I think I picked up that dirty personality from hanging around with him.”

“… This doesn’t sound like a joke!”

“Anyway. The reason I thought that was because… she would talk about pretty things and muses as if it were food. There are many pretty things in the world. But muses… .”

‘In the end, you have to meet many people to find out who your muse is, right?’

Muse.

A being that inspires artists.

The Muse was a bit different from just being pretty.

Rather, it was closer to Moon Yoon-ha’s own definition of ‘beautiful’ that she shouts out every day, tiresomely.

Oh, something shiny.

It’s not just something that looks shiny on the outside, it’s something that gives you a special feeling the moment you see it.

I feel like I want to make it shine more.

Moon Yoon-ha’s life as a visual director was a journey to find her own muse.

If you meet many pretty and beautiful people, you will believe that one day you will be able to meet the ‘real’ one.

And Tioje, although it was still a stretch to call her a muse, was someone who was somewhat along the same lines.

I want to make it shine more.

I can’t say for sure because I haven’t cut it all yet, but it’s definitely something special.

Among them, there was one person who kept catching Moon Yoon-ha’s eye.

A trainee with a rustic name who left a strong impression on both Moon Yoon-ha and the other during their first meeting on Survival.

No, now an idol whose name has started to get all sorts of nicknames and seep into people’s minds.

Kim Chun-yong.

“Face forward, eyes slightly downcast… Yeah, ah. No. No. Something feels off. Can’t you make it a little more dangerous? It’s cyberpunk. Something intense.”

“Hmm, let’s take it off.”

“Youngest. Are you crazy? You want to take off your clothes when an idol is just releasing a repackaged album? That’s destroying the mystique that idols have. Even at the end of their careers, idols should take off their clothes as little as possible….”

“Uh, Director?”

“Oh, Mr. Chun-yong. Wait a minute. I have something in mind. Let me take care of this first. Mr. Chun-yong, you should also catch your breath. You just came back from dealing with that old fart, right?”

“Haha… Please, don’t do that. I think it would be better if I turned around and looked back.”

“… You’re going behind me?”

Moon Yoon-ha and Kim Chun-yong’s first meeting was very intense, but Moon Yoon-ha was not the type of person to be swayed by first impressions.

Because it could be luck.

Because you might just do it once or twice.

But every time, Kim Chun-yong showed a different side of himself with his own earnestness that Moon Yoon-ha did not know.

I really have to do well this time, he said.

“Turn around, as if glaring a little….”

“Aha, you want to try something scary with your face? That’s strange. I thought you were embarrassed by your sharp face.”

“Ugh, that’s true. If you do this, you can see the scar on my neck… Don’t you like that kind of thing?”

“… Me? You say I like scars? Do I look like a pervert?”

“No, that’s not what I meant! This is something that only exists for me… .”

‘Director, you like special things, right?’

When I first met Moon Yoon-ha, she explained the meaning of her name without showing any signs of being nervous.

And despite the strange rumors that spread, he stubbornly climbed up and eventually boarded a ship called Tioze.

In the meantime, Moon Yoon-ha is seen getting what she needs from Director Shin Ki-ho, who keeps clicking his tongue and calling her an old fart.

… Even Moon Yoon-ha herself knows things that she only tells to her closest people.

“…Turn around and let your hair fall slightly below your neck.”

“Uh, um… like this?”

“And then, like, ‘I see something dog-like,’ look at the camera. No, not something dog-like. Something like… ‘Do you know what I’m thinking?’”

All of those appearances brought up various emotions in Moon Yoon-ha.

Perhaps the anticipation that these idols that I am exclusively directing will add some sort of highlight to my artistic career.

And among them, the member who shows an inexplicable sense of desperation and earnestness, the elation that he might be the candidate for the muse he has been searching for by scratching at many idols.

“… Cut. This is the A-cut. And call all the members in front. Let’s take another picture.”

“Director! Reshoots!”

“He just got here. What the hell, something fell from the sky? Bring him here right now!”

The concept photos for the repackaged album, taken with such emotions, elevated her nickname of ‘aesthetic fanatic’.

Oh, you really raised me up.

ToZ 1st Repackage Album – ‘Another Clover’ Concept Photo (Chun Yong/Logan)]

The concept photos, which were revealed in the order of Kim Chun-yong and Logan, Bang Yoo-chan and Jang Si-woo, Ji Hwa-seong and Son Jae-ha, showed them connected in pairs like in the previous ‘Hide and Seek’ album.

Previously, there were boy scouts looking for a puppy named Xenia.

This time, it’s about meaningful boys who may have been former Boy Scouts, but are wanted in the cyberpunk world for some reason.

Moon Yoon-ha did not use the old-fashioned method of explaining all these concepts in detail through an article.

I just revealed it.

Connect what needs to be connected subtly, and clearly show what needs to be different.

If your intention is clearly expressed in your photos, songs, and work, people cannot help but know.

Rather, it is because the public is most sensitive to sincerity.

The public smells a strong desire for a masterpiece and alternately applauds and points its fingers at it.

So, there was no need to look for reactions to the concept photos.

[What’s that scar on the back of Chunyong’s neck? No, it’s a really dangerous vibe. Is this the 4th generation delinquent handsome man?]

[⎿How come it feels like only yesterday that the trainee’s name was called … I’m really touched]

[No, the members’ characteristics were really captured really well… Didn’t Son Jae-ha openly do the cold sniper image? Oh my god, even a prince in a fairy tale shoots a gun]

[⎿The ability to infer a story just by looking at a photo is no joke. Moon Yoon-ha is crazy. Our director is crazy.]

[I thought the details were captured really well even in the short film ;; but this time, they filmed with a focus on those details. I’m scared of Moon Yoon-ha]

[⎿I’ll give you the most capable pervert I know]

[Trust Bang Yoo-chan and go to college @BangbangYourchan

Following the beret Yoochan, the police hat Yoochan that was completely ruined? This is… “It works”

Look at that scrotum, look at that scrotum, that’s a masterpiece, that’s sexy dynamite]

Is it okay for a repackage to turn out this well? (crying) (crying) Our Siwoo went from being the weak youngest boy scout to a pickpocket in charge of the team’s finances… Siwoo, noona, always believed that Siwoo would do well with this concept]

[⎿Pickpocket in charge of team funds < Where did this come from?]

[⎿Siwoohada @singsingull_ll11 That's what I thought!]

[⎿You're not in your right mind, but I'll give you one like]

[Fire is out @fireworksday

I'm suffering I'm having a hard time

My X high school friend's slut is trying to kill me

What's with the Merong? What's with the sunglasses and headband? What's with the fact that you know you're a rapper and handsome?

Yeah, I'll go bankrupt, I'll go all-in on you]

Even without looking, I could tell that people were clapping their hands and cheering because they liked it.

Kim Chun-yong's struggle to somehow get first place with this album naturally seeped into Moon Yoon-ha.

And, there were countless things that happened during that preparation process.

Kim Chun-yong himself was struggling to survive the torrent of events that suddenly occurred, but it all came down to one thing in the end.

In order to find out who the 'other guys' are, you have to get in a position where you can find them.

To get to that position, winning the Rookie of the Year award is the first step.

And, in order to easily win that rookie award, you need to win first place on a music show.

It takes a good song, good choreography, a little bit of promotion, and twice that amount of effort and sincerity.

Kim Chun-yong keeps a small spark alive, and those around him continuously add fuel to the fire, further fanning the flames of the public.

Oh, I see.

It was going to end up like this.

It was supposed to be like this.

And when the fire finally burns so high into the sky, creating an atmosphere as if a festival is taking place… .

[ToZ 1st Repackage Album ' Another Clover' Title – 'WoW' MV teaser]

From then on, it was the first highlight.

* * *

The night before the release of the music video for T.O.J's repackaged album title track, 'WoW'.

All six members gathered in the practice room and were busy practicing for the stage that would be performed on a music show.

Jinda Sol, who had taught them the choreography using the draft sent by Kim Chun-yong, also returned home, leaving only the six of them in the practice room.

“Seven, eight. Turn here, split up… .”

Among them, Kim Chun-yong, who was moving his body while listening to Son Jae-ha's count, made eye contact with him through the mirror and raised one hand.

It was a signal to take a short break.

“Hmm…?”

Kim Chun-yong, who would normally have pushed the members to increase their practice time, was the first to make the request for a break, but Son Jae-ha looked puzzled and soon slowly stopped.

“… Let’s take a short break and then do it again. It looks like everyone is having a hard time.”

‘… Okay.’

Kim Chun-yong nodded slightly in gratitude at his cool response and chose his words.

With the music video release just one day away, and the repackaged album's first stage just three days away.

Because he had something to say to his members.
