Chapter 238
After filming the self-content for the New Year's special in Jeonju, Sigma Entertainment's content production team was busy.
Of course, a one-minute video of the members greeting on New Year's Day was uploaded, but everyone knew that fans wanted more.
So the staff tried to post a cut video before the lingering effects of the new year completely disappeared.
Seleves were already aware that Seleste had gone to Jeonju to film through accounts that tracked the idols' movements in amazing ways.
However, they didn't know what kind of content was being filmed, but when the video titled [Seleste Special #5: Want to bet? Who will go higher?] was uploaded to the official channel, they realized what kind of chaos awaited them.
- What's the title?? Is this a shoutout to haters or a revenge drama for a Wednesday-Thursday drama?
└They might have taken both...because that's Seleste
-No, who would outsource the editing of Sigma? The thumbnail is seriously hilarious
-Who is that woman with long hair fluttering in the back?
└Judging by the body type, it looks like Min-ha or Yubin, lol
└This is the first time I've seen a man like this in my life
-(Capture of Kang Si-yoon's screaming expression in the thumbnail) But Si-yoon...you're a celebrity...
└It's not like God made your face so good to be used for that purpose...
-Kang Si-yoon with a thousand faces
└Wait, Kang Si-yoon will be accepting a web drama soon
The scene that caught the attention of Seleves came from the beginning.
The first thing to do was to change into a traditional Korean outfit called hanbok, and here you could see the members' diverse tastes.
In particular, Karis, who was slightly taken in by Kang Si-yoon's lip service, chose a pink hanbok under coercion to choose a color that was a bit eye-catching.
It was a color that didn't come to mind when you think of his usual image, so they are excited to see a different Karis.
-Hime [Princess] Girl Pink Core Su~chan♥ ㄷㄷ
└ He even chose it himself
└ Ah, f*ck, ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ I know right. Why does this exist
Karis's character changed a bit... A cool-looking cool water prince, but now with a fool
└ It's not that Ji Yoon-chul became Karis-ed, but Karis became Ji Yoon-chul-ed
And Karis didn't disappoint Seleves' expectations.
- (Photo) What on earth is Suja's personal color? Why does it look good no matter what color he wears or how he's styled...
└(Quote) No, it's not a conspiracy theory, but is it really an android idol jointly developed by Estonia and South Korea? Otherwise, I just don't understand the entire process up until now.
└Seriously, it's ridiculous to claim the robot theory and AI theory.
What's even more ridiculous is the way I'm reading it and saying "Agreed".
└Ah... I just want to choose that as my graduation thesis topic and have fun writing about it. Life is so hard these days.
―Kang Si-yoon threatened the kids to choose something unique because it would be boring if they chose something ordinary, but he was really annoying because he chose the most ordinary thing himself.
└(Video) Kang Si Special: The corners of his mouth keep going up every time he commits a scam. Endless
└Reports to Animal Farm as a scammer puppy
└It's creepy how he deliberately starts the situation drama by making a loud noise first because he's afraid that people will suspect him because he's committing so many scams. ㄷ
- Ah Just fucking suddenly
"How rude!!!!!!!!!!!!"
└ What the?
When going to a tteokgalbi restaurant for lunch, Karis's appearance of eating a lot of rice in advance just in case was also engraved in the minds of Seleves.
-(Photo) It's so funny how he eats a spoonful every 3 seconds because he's worried that he won't be given rice
└He didn't even chew it all, but he just kept putting it in his mouth, so his cheeks kept getting bigger ㅜㅜ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Awakening as Hamja-nim [Hamster]
└(Video) Yoo Min-ha, who didn't have any thoughts, suddenly orders more rice with anxious eyes after seeing Karis slurp it down for survivalㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
After moving to the hanok, the core of this content, identity selection, was carried out.
A nobleman and a noblewoman, a commoner, and the long-awaited slave.
The members waved their hands, saying that they absolutely did not want to become slaves.
After drawing the spoon that would determine his fate, Kang Si-yoon teased Karis as usual.
[Are you ready to become a slave?]
[That's what I'm going to say. I'll exploit you thoroughly, Siyoon.]
[Yeah, yeah. Let's just wait and see.]
The final stop of the heated war of nerves....
Sushis was in despair as they showed each other's spoons that said 'Slave'.
-Are you really the god of entertainment? I'm starting to get jealous. This is the first time I've seen a talent that the heavens help to this extent
└Why are you jealous? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-They say they'll work each other to death, but then they both end up being slaves
-(Photo) While Sushis is out of their mind, everyone behind them is laughing like crazy. Issue
└I think it's the first time I've seen Ji Yoon-chul laugh so openly.
└Seleste's power order seems to have become evil ㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Kang Siyoon changes his stance to say let's join forces since we're already slaves vs. Karis who immediately cuts him off saying he absolutely won't trust him
└Sorry, I am posting an aggro about Sushis.... Is the level of the fight between Karis and Kang Si-yoon really real? My heart is sinking
└Sushi is just a gag duo
└But honestly, the fact that Suja became Su-slave is really appealing. I'm really looking forward to seeing him chop wood again
The slaves were not given any leisure.
Karis and Kang Si-yoon returned to the yard with tattered clothes and dark beard makeup on their faces.
The members laughed out loud at Kang Si-yoon's sly tone and outfit, but Karis had a completely different vibe.
-No ㅅㅂ even if you become a beggar, you're still handsome
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└He's so handsome even with his extremely disgusting beard; the makeup is meaningless
└Hey guys. Our Siyoon is also handsome
└Oh yeah.... But now he's got great method acting and character absorption
-Did you forget all the legendary Karis fanboy PR videos?? The commonalities between Kang Si-yoon and Karis, the reason for the sushi that started from the beginning, the reason why they are so handsome but strangely, when they are alone, they cause trouble saying... "Impudent"
└That's right, the crown prince (Kari)s-nim who came from another world ㄷㄷ
└Sunim really became the crown prince
-How did I forget that, f*ck
(Quote) But the two have different feelings of impudence
Karis's impudence is just the crown prince=me. Accept it. If that's the feeling of being shameless and having an aura like that, Kang Si-yoon's impudence is the impudence that makes the other person dizzy by competing with nonsense no matter the situation
The members who were completely immersed in this concept of Jacon began to seriously exploit the slaves.
Song Hyung-bin demanded intense work from the commoners and slaves while lying comfortably.
Seleves who didn't know that the leader of Seleste had such acting skills were even more engrossed in the video as they watched him excitedly shaking power.
-Ahhhh!!!!!!!! He really chopped the firewood # Hey this is real # This is it
└The foream is crazy
└I really want them to upload the unedited full-length version of Karis chopping firewood
└I want Ji Yoon-chul making a cake from various angles
└I want it both
Since the members all have to make rice cake soup to welcome the New Year, they were busy moving around.
Kang Si-yoon's eunuch-like tone that appeared out of nowhere served as a great licorice during the potentially boring cooking time.
Yoo Min-ha, the noblewoman who moved around with his skirt fluttering, stole everyone's attention every time he appeared.
At that moment, when everyone was busy making fire and preparing ingredients, the camera caught Yoo Min-ha secretly hiding a rice cake in his sleeve.
Soon, when the attention of the nobleman and commoners was on the other side of the yard, Yoo Min-ha quickly approached Karis, who was crouching next to the stove.
Then, in a nasal voice, he said a line that sounded like something out of a classic novel.
[Hey, do you want some garaetteok?]
- Yoo Min-ha's voice is getting gagged ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Is he imitating Jeom-soon?? Ha
[Jeom-soon is a character in the novel Camellia by Kim Yu-jeong.]
└ No, the Jeom-soon wasn't that kind of person who would act all cute ㅜㅜ
- Yeah, the garaetteok [rice cake] is better than spring potatoes
└Hello? The National Potato Love Association has come to sue you.
└Don't you know what tastes better, potatoes or rice? We don't deal with people who don't know how to eat
└Hey~ You'll live your whole life eating fried rice when you eat a hamburger, so when you go to a rest stop, buy some butter-grilled new rice and eat it
└You'll never eat rice and only eat potatoes
└Stop fighting, sisters ㅜㅜㅜ You look like Kang Si right now...
ㅜㅜㅜ
It wasn't just Yoo Min-ha's lines that made the Seleves laugh.
Karis, who looked at Yoo Min-ha with an expression that said he didn't understand, answered with something no one could have imagined.
[...... Madam, why are you giving me a rice cake?]
This time, the atmosphere of a famous old Korean folktale was strong.
Seleve, who had never expected such words to come from Karis, were filled with joy at having acquired another meme that they would use in the future.
-???????????????
-No shit, I thought you were giving spring potatoes, but it was rice cake now? What's the changeup now??
└When did Jeom-soon change her identity to madam?
-But how does Karis know that line? That sentence? How the hell...?? That's the bigger problem. Now is not the time to talk about Jeomsoon.
└After I saw him speak Korean correctly, I just don't think about it anymore.... The very existence of Karis is unrealistic in the first place. I think he's ChatGTP.
└This is suspicious in a good way. Even if he's a real person, this is like having an electronic chip implanted in his body;
└No.... Karis doesn't know what that means... That's what you say to someone who just turned 20 ㅜㅜ
-No, why does the guy who usually does sexy and fatal things say such lines so innocently? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└I vote for it
└22 I vote for it
└I'll bet a hundred years cleanly
└These guys are not in their right minds
In response to Karis' innocent question, Yoo Minha changed the atmosphere from a traditional fairy tale to 18th century Europe with one word.
[Karis, won't you try a revolution with me?]
-What would that be called in modern times?? A coup d'etat??
└The revolution was so scary
└If it succeeds, it's a revolution. If it fails, it's treason.
-???: Song ssi becomes king...?
└Min-ha's strange story
└Oh please
└The size of the revolution is freaking huge ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Can I capture this and put it on my timeline??
The first episode of Seleste's New Year's special content ended with this exciting conversation.
Although it was already full of content that was troubling the minds of Seleves, the trailer for Part 2 featured Kang Si-yoon howling like a wolf, raising expectations again.
In general, the episodes where Kang Si-yoon suffered were fun.
Meanwhile, the members were on their way to creating other content that Seleves would be satisfied with.
***
"A cosmetics commercial?"
"This is such a popular brand among teenagers and people in their twenties these days."
When our manager first told us about the commercial shoot, we were all quite surprised.
Since Seleste had never shot a commercial before, it felt a bit different.
More than anything, it seemed that a male idol's first commercial would be cosmetics.
Our manager explained the story behind it with several reasons.
"Actually, we've been getting constant calls for commercials since we first started."
"Really? But our agency hasn't said yes until now?"
"There was a reason for everything. If you start shooting commercials so soon after your debut, it can feel like you're consuming your image too quickly. And when you're gradually gaining recognition and rising, if something strange happens with the brand you're advertising, it can be a problem."
It is explained that they had to make a careful decision because not only the simple profit but also Seleste's image was at stake.
If image consumption is accelerated, the value of Seleste's name could fall a little in the future.
If we hastily sign a contract with an advertising company and that company gets caught up in controversy, the blow will be completely ours.
Chae Eun-gyu nodded in agreement.
"You mean we weighed several companies because there was a risk involved? An advertisement that would be the least likely to cause controversy and would fit well with us."
"It's no exaggeration to say that you are the company's treasure. The higher-ups at the company know that well, and so after considering various factors, we decided to work with this company."
The company that the manager introduced is a cosmetics brand called 'Ignis.'
According to the brochure introducing the company in detail, it is a brand that is wildly popular among teenagers and people in their 20s, as mentioned earlier.
In particular, tints and glitters with good marketability are growing rapidly in the cosmetics industry, so they have high future investment value.
"Cosmetics commercial? I have no idea how to film it."
"It's okay. The directors will give you instructions when you get to the filming set, so don't worry."
"That's true."
On the way to the filming set, Heo Yu-bin said in a slightly worried tone.
"I, I'm worried if I can make a deadly expression in front of the camera."
"Hahaha! Dude, you don't have to make a deadly expression all the time, okay? It'll backfire."
"Wow, you never know!"
Honestly, I also had no idea how cosmetics commercials work.
I entered the filming set with a slight sense of tension.
"Woof!"
The ones who greeted us were none other than puppies.
