Chapter 184
There are many ways in which idols show filial piety to their fans.
Most fundamentally, be faithful to your main job.
A typical example of filial piety is to bring a perfect concept and song every time they make a comeback and achieve high results, thereby boosting the fandom's spirits.
And what you always have to live with as a passive is the heart to care for your fans.
There is probably no fan in this world who doesn't like an idol who shows his or her undivided love at fan signing events or when communicating with fans.
Representative platforms include the Starus application and the group's official SNS account.
Seleste has been on hiatus recently.
Because their debut album was so overwhelming and broke all records, everyone knew how good of an idol Seleste was at their job, but now that the promotional period is over, their stage presence has inevitably diminished.
But Seleste was constantly on people's lips for another topic.
It was a level of fan communication that other idol groups could not easily surpass.
Usually, idols don't often get to do personal broadcasts like StarUs Live because their schedules are so hectic.
It is common to use spare time to conduct live broadcasts that last an average of 1 to 2 hours.
The Seleste members showed ridiculous running times every time they broadcasted.
Seleste's fans were filled with joy and shed tears.
Other fandoms were filled with envy and tears as they berated their idols, asking what on earth they were doing.
―(Photo) I was working yesterday and a live alarm went off. They have no consideration for office workers... I thought I should just watch it in cuts, but they're still broadcasting until I get off work. What the f*ck are they doing?
└What on earth do they have to talk about to get 4 hours and 33 minutes?? Even if it's just two people, please
└ㅋㅋㅋ I watched it from the beginning, but they just turned it on and were eating together when someone suddenly posted a weird discussion topic in the comments and they continued to discuss it together, of course neither of us had any logic.
└What topics were talked about??
└Not knowing is the best policy vs. walking a dog you don't know, a list of things like that... Kang Si-yoon thinks that it would be fun to walk a dog you don't know, and Karis says that it seems like not knowing Kang Si-yoon is the best policy.
└No, Karis ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He's really good at Korean. It's not just that he speaks well. It's the sense of knowing exactly what it means and using it right away according to the situation that's legendary.
└This time it was fun. First of all, the two are close so the broadcast wasn't awkward ㅋㅋㅋ There were no parts where the audio was bad
└Agreed. Recently, there has been a boom in Gaeanz, but after reading this, I can see that the basics are Sushiz
―There's a reason why a group that's doing well is doing well.... ◠‿◠ I don't even expect a live. If you're not going to send me a PM like this, then give me a refund, you bastards ㅜㅜ
* This is a public tweet from the circle. *
└ㄷㄷ There are people who have been going crazy at fan signings for months and only managed to sell 200,000 copies, but they need to read this.
└No, Minwoo must have been really crazy. Did you watch the preview of the fan signing that came out yesterday? How can an idol be thicker than me?
└Skip the mangdol in order of intelligence
└ㅠㅠUkikikki.... [Monkey Language?]
└ㅅㅂ A gathering of stupid girls ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
Seleste's broadcasts were widely praised for not only being long in number and duration but also for being rich in content.
In particular, there was a very strong public opinion that if there was Karis, the enjoyment of any combination would increase significantly.
―People who picked Ji Yoon-chul from the beginning or the first episode of IPS know... It's not that he's shameless or socially maladjusted, it's just that he seems to be trying not to talk on purpose ㅠ But he gradually starts talking more and his expressions start to relax, and that's because he's on the same team as Karis....
└The story of Gaeanz's salvation is truly legendary
└(Photo) This is the default facial expression in IPS
(Photo) This is these daysㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's so amazing that this kid smiles so much....
└ I saw Gaeanz at Star Live. Karis and Yoon-chul's chemistry is really good. ㅋㅋㅋ I've never seen such a comfortable and stable live in my life. In the beginning, it was just a counseling center, but now that they've become closer, they joke around. Yoon-chul's growth story is really touching.
└ㅋㅋㅋ It would be fun if Kang Si-yoon or Yoo Min-ha were in it, it's really marketable, and if Heo Yu-bin and Ji Yoon-chul are in it, the audio doesn't overlap, and it's calm, but it's not fun
└The face is fun, so they don't even have to say anything
―It's so funny how when Yoon-chul's with Karis, he speaks quietly and kindly, but when he's with Siyoon, he bickers and tries to make a deal first.
└The time from the first broadcast to the debut wasn't that long, and how did they become close friends in just a few months when everyone was meeting for the first time?
└But seriously, Yoon-chul.... It seems like he's closer to the Seleste kids than the trainees from his own company;; At that time, didn't two other people besides Ji Yoon-chul come out and get their levels evaluated together? But they really didn't seem that close
└Didn't they say that Yoon-chul was with Dexter since he was really young? Was he unable to join in on his older brothers' fun because he was young? But usually, when you're young, don't they take better care of you?
└That's right... But it seems that it's because Karis is good at adapting to others, and when joking, he doesn't cross the line, and he doesn't meddle, but he takes good care of those who really need help.
└When I go to Estonia, I ask for the fifth time if I will have Karis....
└The fifth answer is "I wonder"
Of course, the StarUs live broadcasts that the other members did were fun, but there were many impactful and funny scenes during the live broadcasts with Karis.
Perhaps because of this, there were many people who uploaded clips of StarUs Live to various SNS platforms.
These clips became popular among the general public, creating a natural promotional effect.
[The showdown between two self-respecting geniuses, the spear and shield ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
(video)
Kang Si-yoon tries to somehow induce Karis's aegyo, and Karis absolutely refuses to allow it.
―It's so funny how Karis cheerfully shouts "Let's do this!" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Since he says it as if it's so obvious, I wonder if he really thought that was the right answer.
└It's funny if he says it because he thinks it's the right answer, and it's funnier if he said it on purpose ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Foreign language talent is crazy
―Every time this guy's video popped up on the algorithm, I always thought he was cool and handsome... But when I listened to him talk, he sounded like my friend ㅋㅋㅋ It's so funny
└I feel like he's in real friend mode because he is with a friend of the same age ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Ah, is he the same age as the person next to him??
└Yes, Siyoon and Karis are the same age, 20 years old!!
―When he was asked what animal he resembled, he should have said said "human." ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Oh my god, he's not just a person, but a human
└Karis) he can act cute in front of his fans. But he absolutely can't do it when Kang Si-yoon is next to him.
└No, I'm working right now. What does it have to do with Kang Si-yoon? Risu ya, please!!!!!
└What are you two betting on? I'm really curious, so I can't even sleep now
In addition to the StarUs live broadcast, the videos uploaded regularly on Seleste's official YouTube channel were enough to fill the hearts of Seleves.
In particular, the Jeju Island school trip episode of
The first part received 400,000 views, and the second part, which was uploaded the following week, received 300,000 views in just a few days, drawing an enormous response.
―The best part of this school trip: I was able to understand Yoon-chul's inner thoughts a little bit.... I was so upset when he said he regretted not being able to have a normal school life because he was a trainee at a young age ㅠ ·̫ ㅠ
└ I cried at the part where he said at the end, 'I hope to make many more good memories with the hyungs in the future'... I think it's because I know how much Yoon Gi likes the members.
└ When Ji Yoon-chul is sleeping in the morning, his roommate wakes him up by throwing a pillow at him and Kang Si-yoon drags him out and makes him breakfast before sending him off... F*ck, these guys are really like a family
―It was a useful time to see how much of a mess it can be when you let physically fit guys run wild.
└From the first episode, it was the Yaja time.... You can see the youngest talking informally to the oldest, and you can see Karis blowing up a pillow. It's so informative.
└The course was really a school field trip course, so it reminded me of when I went and it was really fun because it felt like I was seeing what boys that age really looked like ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└I can feel the loudness of high school boys through the screen. If I were at the scene, I'd have been fed up ㅋㅋ Changmin hyung, cheer up
└The Selkit list is about granting each member's wish, so it's confirmed that up to 7 episodes will be produced. Hurry up and work, Sigma.
Fun beyond imagination and perfect chemistry between members.
Some Seleves, who wanted to see more of Seleste's videos and StarUs live even wrote messages of support on their SNS.
As if their prayers had been heard, a notification soon appeared on the Starus app.
[Seleste Live!! A surprise party to celebrate our leader's birthday]
* * *
'I guess I have to go to Hongdae again after a long time.'
Homma gathered the locations of Song Hyung-bin's birthday cafes and roughly planned out the route.
Since these event cafes are often held near Hongdae, it was a very familiar environment for her.
Song Hyung-bin's personal fans boast of their firepower, even while
So this time too, they successfully reached their goal amount and opened several birthday cafes.
Although Homma is Karis's favorite, she basically follows the general fandom and willingly participated in the fundraising.
During the survival show, there really was a rival, but now he's in the same group, and he's the leader of the group. Of course she should congratulate him.
While she was busy planning the cafe tour itinerary while looking at the map, her phone buzzed and a notification popped up on the top bar.
Notification that Seleste's Star Us Live is starting.
'It's live again!'
Homma's eyes grew wide.
Just a few days ago, Kang Si-yoon and Karis did a live show for 4 and a half hours and created all sorts of memes.
Looking at the title closely, it seemed like the members had prepared a surprise party to celebrate Song Hyung-bin's birthday today.
As she entered StarUs Live, she saw the members wearing unusual attire greeting her.
[Hello, everyone!]
[It's been a while since we've done a live show like this as a group.]
[That's right.]
They were all wearing white aprons.
Heo Yu-bin and Yoo Min-ha wore white hoods on their heads, so not a single hair was visible.
[So, what are we going to do today? I'll show you up close!]
Kang Si-yoon approached the camera with a confident smile.
He walked into the kitchen, picking up the camera that was fixed on the stand, and started shooting close-up shots of someone.
[Since today is Hyungbin hyung's birthday, we thought we should cook something together. As you can see here, the menu is steak and pasta. Let's go to the steak person right now. Mr. Karis, are you ready to cook it deliciously?]
[Hmm.]
Karis stared at the camera with a very solemn expression.
The knife in his hand was clearly a kitchen knife, but strangely, it seemed sharper than regular knives. Could it be her imagination?
[From now on, I will personally show you how to cut cube steak.]
