Chapter 224
December 25th, Christmas.
While lively music was playing outside and pretty light bulbs were twinkling, Seleves were thinking about one thing.
There are awards ceremonies on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and it's a bit disappointing that Seleste won't be appearing on the special stage.
Any fan wants to see the cute appearances of the members.
In particular, seasonal events like this one, which only occur once a year, are even more precious.
Since all the members of Seleste boast beautiful visuals, Seleves often wrote wishes like this.
―Hey guys, isn't sexy cute Santa Karis really awesome? #Seodongyo technique
[The 'Seodongyo Technique' refers to the technique of making up stories as if something you wish had already happened. It is a word borrowed from the story of Seodong, who became King Mu of Baekje, writing 'Seodongyo' as a child and marrying Princess Seonhwa.]
└Santa Claus.... I don't need presents, can't you just show up? I really don't want anything big, just come to my house, please.
└They said it wouldn't work because there was no chimney.
└Then come into the veranda. Yes, the architectural trend has changed now.
Little did they know that their wishes would actually come true.
At around 6pm on the 25th, a video with a very simple title was uploaded to Seleste's official YouTube channel.
[Merry Christmas - from Seleste]
In general, there are quite a few idols who upload greeting videos to coincide with important holidays.
However, videos that are just simple greetings tend to be very short, between 1 and 2 minutes long.
Seleste's video was a full 20 minutes long.
Seleves were immediately surprised by the length of their content.
The second time they looked closely at the thumbnail, they were even more surprised.
That's because all the members were wearing Christmas makeup that everyone had only imagined.
But there was one peculiarity: there was only one person dressed up as a regular Santa Claus.
Only Ji Yoon-chul, who sat in the center, was wearing a fluffy red fur hat and a white beard, while the rest of the members were standing around the youngest member wearing clothes reminiscent of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
It wasn't even your ordinary Rudolph.
Some had strange decorations on their antlers, and some had green noses instead of red ones.
What on earth is going on?
Seleves who couldn't contain their curiosity clicked on the YouTube video without wasting a second.
Then, Seleste, sitting in the white studio on the screen, began singing a Christmas carol in a very sweet voice.
[Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle all the way!]
From 'Jingle Bells' to 'Silent Night' and the world-famous carol 'All I Want For Christmas' sung by foreign pop stars.
Watching Seleste sing a medley of carols together, fans felt their eyes and ears being purified.
But in this comfortable and dreamy atmosphere, there were times when laughter leaked out because of the members' unusual makeup looks.
Seleves thought to themselves as they listened to the medley.
Oh, the reason the video is so long is probably because of the behind-the-scenes story related to this makeup.
The members sang carols for about 6 minutes and waved their hands while sending Christmas greetings in various languages.
Karis, who shows off his unique presence whenever he speaks a foreign language, showed off his fluent English pronunciation this time as well.
Yoo Minha, who seemed to have been practicing Japanese hard, stood up with bouncy energy and greeted them.
Finally, the video faded out.
[Time goes back a day....]
Finally, the behind-the-scenes footage of the Christmas video that fans have been waiting for has begun.
[Kang Si-yoon: I think if you're going to put on makeup, you have to do it properly. If everyone just puts on the same Santa makeup, it's fundamentally not fun. It's not fun.]
[Song Hyung-bin: But isn't this kind of thing not supposed to be filmed to be funny...?]
[Kang Si-yoon: That's true, but this is when we differentiate ourselves. When other people normally greet us, we even give them a laugh. How nice is that? Don't you think?]
[Yoo Min-ha: That's right! I like fun things!]
This makeup story that started with Kang Si-yoon went through a mad drive and was ultimately decided like this.
[Santa Makeup: Secure the center, the safest, no need to do anything weird]
[Rudolph Makeup: Colorful makeup using horns and nose!]
[Kang Si-yoon: Okay, let's all pick out a pair of chopsticks!]
[(Siyoon is more excited than anyone else)]
Seleste's most rational Karis shook his head as he watched the Christmas special content that had gone in a strange direction.
Then, immediately, his solo interview scene was inserted.
[Karis (very tired): You guys should never listen to Shiyoon.]
[Once it starts, it can't be controlled like that, so please be careful when you do so.]
Seleves who saw him treating Kang Si-yoon like a strange machine felt sorry but couldn't hold back their laughter.
―Karis looks really tired. He looks like he hasn't slept in 3 days.
└Why you should get along well with your coworkers
└I was only looking at him in the group shot, and he is really aging in real time.
└But Karis doesn't return [refund] Kang Si-yoon. This is Karis' kind and gentle heart....
└Because it's [Sushi]
It all came down to one simple coincidence.
Ji Yoon-chul, who was born with luck, pulled out chopsticks with 'Santa' written on them, making all his brothers sigh.
[Aahh, Aahhh! Why me! Why is it me again!]
[Wow, I'm really jealous of Yubin. I kind of wanted that too. It's such a shame!]
[If you regret it, switch with me! Right now!]
[Unfortunately, changing it is prohibited, what should I do?]
When Heo Yu-bin was put on the most makeup, Kang Si-yoon didn't miss the opportunity and teased him to his heart's content.
Where did the idea of tying wire bulbs to deer antlers come from?
In the end, Heo Yubin was equipped with a blue deer nose and flashy, shiny deer antlers with a gloomy expression.
[Oh, looking at it this way, it looks like Yubin has become a Christmas tree.]
[Eun-gyu hyung is the worst!]
It was Chae Eun-gyu who stabbed his younger brother in the chest with a harmless expression.
Seleves were deeply moved by the Christmas special video, which was much more abundant than they had expected and special in a different way.
―(Photo) Rudolf Karis is so cuteㅜㅜㅜㅜㅠ It's too much
└Karis got lucky in the draw and got the original red nose ㄷㄷ
└Honestly, I wanted to see Karis' mint colored nose. Is it a sexual desire?
└It's normal.
―(Video) Yoon-chul is singing in the center like a stone statue, but because his beard tickles, he keeps twitching his nose ㅜㅜ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hey, kitten, use your hands!!!
└Because he's a baby, he doesn't know how to organize things by hand.
└I've never seen such a cute cat in my life
―No, they could just stand in a line and say "Merry Christmas~" for about 30 seconds, and go to the studio and film it, but they recorded a carol medley and added some behind-the-scenes footage, so I was just like, "Amen."
In reality, Sigma Entertainment was racing against time every day.
The Christmas special video was also edited at incredible speed and uploaded in one day.
They've also been working hard on the next episode of
The editorial team was struggling to meet the deadline, fighting off fatigue and drowsiness with coffee and energy drinks.
Although working overtime was extremely painful, everyone took responsibility and fought honestly.
As a result of so many people running breathlessly, the
[I just want to go and have some normal fun for just one day. Especially an amusement park! I could go, but I always hesitated because I didn't have anyone to go with, but now that I have the members. I think it would be a lot of fun.]
When Yoo Min-ha said that she wrote down her wish for an amusement park for a similar reason to Ji Yoon-cheol's previous writing about a school trip, many celebrities were moved to tears.
―How old were they when they started being trainees? Ji Yoon-chul, Yoo Min-ha, and Kang Si-yoon, weren't they all trainees since middle school??... Seriously, this is child abuse ㅜㅜ
└So you're saying that they barely went to school and never went on school trips or festivals or anything? That's not right.
└There's a story that Kang Si-yoon was in the debut group of a company when he was in middle school... So there are almost no reports of his middle school classmates seeing him. But it seems like he went to high school for a while. Ji Yoon-chul would have dropped out if he had joined Haillight, right??
But the feeling of sadness only lasts for a moment.
As scenes of the members conquering roller coasters and bumper cars followed,
―(Video) It started.... Heo Yu-bin's dolphin ultra sound show
└Seriously, how many octaves is that?
└My major is composition, and it's about 94726284926 octave.
└But if you're someone who really can't ride a roller coaster, you wouldn't be able to open your eyes and scream like that... You'd just close your eyes tightly and not say anything, and just pray for this time to end. No, you wouldn't ride it in the first place.
―Kang Si-yoon's plot is so funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He said he was going to hit Karis in the back of the head and then went to trick and proposed an alliance to Karis. It's so shameless. I can't believe it
└I never thought I would see Suja-nim being treated like that so unilaterally...
―(Video) Ka... looks like he wants to get off the bumper car and beat everyone up with his own hands right now. His body looks like it's going to tingle.
└The only way to deal with Karis: mob violence
└But that's true, really
―It's been a while since I've seen the friendly Seleste, full of betrayals, plots, conspiracies, and trickery, and it warms my heart ^^*
└Wow, no, Ji Yoon-chul is such an angel. He gave him a steak.
└Chae Eun-gyu seems to be secretly playful?? Did you not notice him because you were obsessed with Kang Si-yoon?
└Look at his face. He's not that kind of person... Chaen Ja-nim really only thinks about answering quizzes.
└Look at Kang Si-yoon's expression
└(Photo) Kang Si-yoon's expression when Karis is hit: Happiness 19.00 Madness 73.00 Regret 0.00 Sadness 0.00 Other 8.00
And when the long-awaited T-Rex Express Karaoke Showdown appeared, the cries of crows that had been heard even in Jeju Island struck the eardrums of Seleves.
―Kang Si-yoon's voice is really good. He boiled and ate at least five train fireboxes.
└Hey, who released a crow over there?
└(Video) Heo Yu-bin's face is gradually turning green
―On one side, there's a crow croaking, on the other side, there's someone stubbornly going "Formulaaaaaaa!" and on the other side, there's someone going crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└(Photo) What is Karis really? He is so serious without any hit that it is scary.
―That... Our Eun-gyu also tried his best, everyone... He sang the whole formula all by himself... Why doesn't anyone recognize it?
└Here, Yoo Minha reverse-carried ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Hyungbin suffers from Siyoon in Jeju Island and from Minha in Japan
└At that level of decibels, earplugs should be supported.
A heart-pounding battle ensued between those who screamed and those who tried to sing the song somehow, and in the end, Karis, who shouted "Formulaaaaak!" with a desperate determination, won by earning a higher score.
Seleves left enthusiastic responses on social media, saying that the best thing about seeing the members hanging out so freely like this was the way it was done.
Time passed like that, and they headed towards December 31st.
Before they know it, the new year is just around the corner.
