The Malicious Member Returns! Episode 213

* * *

Once the last music show of the week is over, promotions for the repackaged album ‘WoW’ that they put so much effort into will also come to an end.

On Music Music Days, I won first place, and on other shows, I was even nominated for first place.

I was so moved and thought, ‘How did they really do all this?’

Personally, I would say that the chorus of ‘WoW’ keeps ringing in my head even when I sleep.

It wasn’t like this even during Arrows.

“Um, guys. Before we go up, let’s all cheer together. Let’s do our best until the end… .”

“Wow! This is so great! Hey, everyone, come together quickly!”

Of course, at that time there were no issues to worry about like this.

I quietly placed my hand on Mars’s hand and glanced at the problematic members who had gathered together with indifferent faces.

“Huh? Siwoo, your hands are cold. Is it because you’re cold?”

“Uh… no. It’s okay.”

“Oh my, look at Yuchan hyung’s face… From today onwards, go to bed early. It’s the last week of activities, so your skin can’t get rough!”

“Oh, okay, okay. Sorry, Mars!”

Yoochan hyung, and Siwoo.

The problem between the two was not something that could be solved by pushing forward right away.

It’s something that the two of you need to figure out, little by little, over time.

In my opinion, one of the two people I can talk to about this incident at the moment strongly disagreed.

– X: Kim Chunyong, what time do you have left?

– X: Don’t you know how much work you have ahead of you?

– X: I have to prepare for the year-end stage! And I have to win the Rookie of the Year award while doing so!

– X: If you win the Rookie of the Year award, that’s it? Your next goal is also waiting for you.

– X: You’ve been feeling lazy lately.

– X: Do you want to go back to when you were arrested? Yes?

– X: Don’t you think about your family?

If it was natural, then it was natural.

X is the guy who has been saying things like ‘You can also change the members to suit your taste’ since , and although our goals are the same, we have some differences in our interests.

But surprisingly, the other guy’s opinion was the same as mine.

[Bomb (removal end): Chun Yong-ah Chun Yong-ah]

[Bomb (removal end): I felt this while practicing today]

[Bomb (Removal End): I don’t think this is something I can solve right now?]

[Bomb (Removal End): You’re going to have to waste some time…]

[Bomb (Removal End): Of course I’ll help you till the end! We promised, and I have something to receive from you too ♬]

[Bomb (Removal End): Did I have fun today? Your advice was really helpful?]

I don’t know how my advice to ‘keep your mouth shut and just show your face’ helped, but anyway.

The part where it says, ‘It’ll take some time’ was something that Antae and I both agreed on.

I had a lot to do.

I had to properly prepare for the end-of-year stage, see if I could get Ahn Tae-yi to join the ‘other guys’, and furthermore, I had to work on restoring the relationship between Yoo-chan and Si-woo right away.

The reason I had to do a good year-end performance was to win the rookie award and avoid going back to the police station, and the reason I had to involve ‘the other guys’ was because I had to find out the truth about the accident that happened to my family.

And Yoochan hyung and Siwoo.

This is an atonement to the members who worked hard for me in the past.

In the end, it all comes down to one thing.

Since it happened because of me, I should take responsibility.

I have a lot to do and only one body.

Then what should I do?

“Then one, two… .”

The members’ hands come together in one place, and the hands that were moving down rise up at the same time.

I raised my hand with a determined look on my face.

“―Tioje, fighting!”

… I guess you could just set up a board so that you can handle everything at once.

I took in each member one by one, waving their hands in the air and exclaiming “Wow.”

Last time I was wallowing in self-pity and didn’t do anything right, but this time it’s different.

I had to do everything I had to do, step by step, and do it well.

“Tioje will go up on stage now! Please stand by!”

“yes!”

And, fortunately, that’s not the case… .

– X: You’re great, you’re great. Then, when will you fall hard and come to your senses?

– X: So what… what are we going to do?

– X: Have you ever seen kids who were like that? Have you ever resolved it?

– X: You didn’t have any friends because you just drank all day.

– X: Wouldn’t it be better to just leave them alone rather than you intervening?

– Kim Chun-yong: Who said I had no friends?

– X: ?

– Kim Chun-yong: Do you drink alone?

I have a rough idea of ​​how I can handle this situation.

No matter how much I lived like trash after the accident, all my upcoming schedules went smoothly.

In the meantime, as soon as it’s over, I drink, spread out, and work the next day.

When I don’t have a schedule, I just stay locked in my room like a mouse, but when my manager calls me, I jump up.

I guess I lived a busier life than I thought.

“…Let’s go!”

I put my arm around the members’ shoulders and strode briskly out of the waiting room.

It didn’t matter how tightly woven or complex the tasks before me were.

…I can do it all.

* * *

As always, as the year-end stage season approaches, fans’ reactions are varied.

The one you like, the one you hate.

The one who likes them, the one who curses their agency.

If we break it down a bit more, it can be roughly divided into three categories.

[Why do we watch the year-end stage where they only use aerial cameras and don’t even show the kids’ faces properly? It would be better if the kids had a concert together at that time…]

[⎿Yeah, Sladix doesn’t have any concerts and only performs on a few stages at the end of the year. Are you happy?]

[⎿ㄲㅈ Really]

From fans who are sick and tired of the numerous year-end stage issues that have occurred…

[Nulbommir @NBML__0412

This is the last week of text voting for the KPCA Rookie of the Year award ♡

[#Chunyong Please vote for #Tioje just one more time to give him the shining rookie award!]

[⎿I can only create one account per email, so how can I create one more?]

[⎿Create a lot of emails!]

[Always Yeonwoo @Yeonwoojung___

You can’t leave out awards from an awards ceremony that you don’t attend, right?

Don’t forget to vote for the Sladix Prize ♬

We will send gifts through a drawing only to those who have verified their votes!]

A fan who does his best to give his idol at least one more award at the award ceremonies that naturally follow the year-end stage.

and….

“I think I voted here? Or not? Didn’t I…? No, this is my first time doing something like this!”

“Yeah, I wish you had liked Leopold like me since long ago.”

“Yeah, I’m not interested in conceptual guys like that.”

“Oh, you really sound like a T.O.J. fan!”

“Yeah, yeah. At first it was just Chun-yong, but now I like them all thanks to Chun-yong… .”

This is the first time for a fan to experience this kind of flow, so it’s hard to keep up.

So, I’m talking about people like Kim Ji-eun who started living the life of a proper idol fan for the first time thanks to Kim Chun-yong, who appeared as if by fate at Hanmaeum’s personal practice studio.

“You’ll have to go back to school next year, and you’ll have to quit your part-time job… How did you end up with Tioje’s nose pierced, really?”

“That’s true… .”

They say that anything that is late in the morning is scary.

Kim Ji-eun, who was a high school student who should have been crazy about idols, was unable to come to her senses due to the barrage of stimuli that poured in front of her after she became an adult and let go of her limits.

What? Request for live broadcast?

If I can go and see Chun-yong… Should I go?

What? I have to stay up all night?

Well then… shall we try it for a bit?

What? Is attending a year-end stage more fun than just attending a stage?

Well then… should I apply?

‘Let’s just do it once’ soon became ‘This is really fun, I have to come back again’, and crossing the line was the expected process.

So, this means that Kim Ji-eun, who always prided herself on being an idol-lite fan, has become a heavy Xenia.

“Haha… I’m crazy in love, really…”

A faint laugh escaped Kim Ji-eun’s mouth as she reflected on her recent actions.

Minji, a Leopold fan who had been watching the whole thing from the side, clicked her tongue at her friend’s typhoon-like late wind.

“That’s right, KPCA is strict with voting, right? Wiz is also really hot this time. They have separate evaluations by judges, so voting doesn’t do everything.”

“But still! Hey, do you know how good the kids’ debut album was? And this repackage? But imagine if I didn’t vote and they didn’t get the rookie award. How frustrating would that be?”

“That’s the point. Leopold didn’t win the Rookie of the Year award at KPCA either. The judges there are really picky. So, I’m telling you not to waste your time on useless things.”

“How is this useless…?”

Minji sighed and patted Ji-eun on the back, then carefully whispered in her ear the words she had been hesitating to say for a while.

“Then is this a useless thing? You missed the last episode of Tioje’s music show today….”

“Crazy! Why are you telling me that now!”

Anyway, that’s what happened.

As idols are busy at the end of the year, fans are also busy.

In fact, the fans might have been busier.

Idols say that this year-end stage is their job, and that they make money through this everyday life… .

Because fans, even though no one paid for it, poured out their affection and hoped for someone’s success and happiness.

To others, it might have seemed strange, and that boundless affection was peculiar.

Why are you pouring out your feelings like that when you won’t get anything in return?

But what if someone wanted to repay you?

What if you want to do what you need to do and want to do in real time, with the right amount of reward?

“Ah, shit. Just to vote for this fucking thing, I missed Chun-yong’s last episode. Aaaah!”

At a time when the music show was already well past, Kim Ji-eun let out a cry of pain that shook the quiet Hanmaeum personal practice room counter.

Tiring—

On her tablet, which had been silent for a while, a notification arrived.

“Oh, I forgot to mute this again. If it’s just a bunch of useless advertisement notifications, I’ll kill it… Huh?”

Kim Ji-eun’s eyes, which had been nervously tapping away at her tablet, soon grew wide.

“Hey, hey, Minji. Turn on your laptop. Quickly, quickly!”

“What, what is it?”

On Ji-eun’s face, as she urged her friend on urgently, the despair from earlier was strangely mixed with happiness.

“… T.O.J.E.L.D. is on. This time, to commemorate the year-end collaboration stage practice, we’re doing it together with Wiz!”

Of course, at times like this, fans feel like their hard work is being rewarded.

It makes me think that maybe the emotions that idols and fans exchange are truly reciprocal.

Even if it isn’t real, at least for that moment.

– “… Wow! You came in large numbers! Hello, Jenny! It’s been a while since you’ve done a live, right? I missed you! It’s Chun-yong!”

And, someone was real.

Someone who thinks that even though they have a lot to do, are busy, and are out of their mind, they must repay the love just this once.

– “Today, I asked Jaeha hyung to do a live with Wiz. Haha, you must have been a little surprised… .”

– “… Hello, Xenia people. This is Wiz!”

In addition, I think it would be good to do both work and leisure activities together.
