Chapter 271 - 271

Chapter 271

We've filmed quite a few variety shows so far.

We've also appeared on idol variety shows that debut idols must appear on.

We've produced a lot of high-quality self-produced content, as well as popular YouTube channel variety shows.

But this is the first time we've appeared on a weekend variety show. And it's a variety show that's a major hit on one of the three major terrestrial broadcasters.

So the members had different reactions when they heard this news.

"I really wanted to appear on a weekend variety show!"

"It feels like I'm fulfilling a bucket list."

There were also members who were happy, like Yoo Min-ha and Kang Si-yoon, as if they had been waiting for this moment.

"W-we really have to be careful what we say. It's a terrestrial broadcast."

"If it's a weekend variety show, aren't there a lot of senior entertainers? That must be nerve-wracking."

There were also members who swallowed their tension and showed their worries, like Heo Yu-bin and Song Hyung-bin.

If you ask me which side I am on, I would say I am on the happy side.

No matter how hot YouTube entertainment is these days, the power of terrestrial entertainment cannot be ignored.

Since it is broadcast on terrestrial TV channels, the number of viewers is overwhelmingly large.

It is definitely a bigger class than YouTube.

In short, if we just show good performance here, we can make our name known to more people.

Manager Hyung, who announced the news of the weekend entertainment casting, slapped Heo Yu-bin on the back and laughed.

"You don't have to worry at all. The production team customized the game."

"Have they already decided what game we're going to play?"

"Yeah, the plan is almost complete. I didn't tell you the details because it could be a spoiler to the cast, but the concept for this shoot is 'mirror match.'"

"Mirror match?"

Mirror match. A word derived from the English word Mirror.

It is probably used to describe a situation where people with similar characteristics or traits compete against each other.

"The cast of and you have similar positions, and there are many characters who are easy to set up for a match, so they said it would be fun if it was a 7 vs. 7 match."

"Ah, that's why the concept became a mirror match. Cast members SunEx vs. Seleste, something like that."

"Hey, Kang Si-yoon. Did you hear that? Did you hear it clearly?"

Song Hyung-bin immediately grabbed Kang Si-yoon's shoulder and shook him back and forth.

"This is a team match, a team match. You absolutely cannot play primarily as an individual. Do you understand?"

"Ha....... It's a shame, but there's nothing I can do."

"Don't be so obviously disappointed!"

'"Yeah, well, since it's a team match....... We have to work together as much as possible......."

"Hyung, can't he just do this solo?"

"Oh, just kidding, kidding! Why are you trying to throw me away so quickly!"

Kang Si-yoon, who always showed individual play spirit and betrayed others, suddenly emerged as a person of interest.

Even though there is a rule that it is a team battle, he is a guy who will try to survive alone at any time and place.

So the next day, the day of filming for came.

is a program hosted by 7 regular entertainers.

It is famous for the chemistry between veteran comedians who bring out the airwaves well and young bloods who give fresh laughter with their passion.

It is a program that is evaluated as continuing the trend of popular entertainment programs that had been lost.

'Until yesterday, I thought I would no longer be nervous on entertainment shows, but today, I can't help but feel a little nervous.'

Contrary to these concerns, the production crew and cast of welcomed us with open arms and steadily relieved our tension.

And so the full-scale filming began.

"Hello, this is Seleste!"

"Hello! Hello!"

We bowed and greeted everyone who gave us a warm welcome.

Then, a short talk that would become the opening continued.

"You're actually more handsome in person. My daughter told me that she really enjoyed it."

"Oh, did she watch ?"

"She was so into it that she waited for Friday."

Veteran entertainer Im Tae-jin, famous for his skillful hosting, appropriately mixed in everyday stories and led the members to respond naturally.

"Oh my, after seeing only dull faces all the time, it feels refreshing to see guests."

"Hyung, I don't think you should be saying that."

"What are you talking about, the dullest-looking one?"

While Kim Byung-tae, the oldest, kept nagging, Joo Gun-hee, one of the younger members, clapped his hands and asked the production team again about today's topic.

"Wait a minute, didn't you say it was a team battle today?"

"Yes, that's right. Today, there will be a special 'mirror match' between the members of and the members of Seleste. The number of people is just right, and our research in advance showed that there are many similarities between them. So today, a 7 vs. 7, team battle format awaits you."

"Ah, great! Team battle! Hyung, how great! We don't have to fool each other! Doesn't it feel so comfortable!"

When Joo Gun-hee showed a bright smile that showed his gums, Song Hyung-bin, who was standing next to Im Tae-jin, opened his eyes wide.

"We're kind of the same. Whenever there's a solo battle on Jacon or other entertainment shows, it becomes a real mess. We betray, threaten, and fight to win."

"Oh, really? Hey, Seleste looks like they would never do that."

"Just looking at them now, they look like they'd be a good betrayer, let's see... "

The tallest and most physically fit member of the cast, Jung Moo-hyuk, glanced at our faces.

Then he immediately pointed at me.

"I've seen a lot of cases where people who always look so calm and good betrayed, among the guests."

"Karis? Oh, not Karis. Karis sometimes does really weird things, but there's a separate icon of betrayal."

Song Hyung-bin laughed heartily and excitedly reported the inside story.

"Hey, Si-yoon, who's pretending not to know anything right now, is really good at betrayal."

"Then you're just like me! Nice to meet you!"

Shin Sung-yoon, who had been quietly following the flow of the story, strode out and grabbed Kang Si-yoon's hand to shake it.

I watched Kang Si-yoon smile as if he had been waiting for it and shake his hand.

"Hey, but it's real. This guy's eyes are like Sung-yoon's too."

"His eyes are slightly....... They're already spinning?"

"Hahaha! No, I'm really fine right now!"

Both of them had eyes that strangely sparkled and oozed with madness.

They were so close that I could almost feel that they looked exactly alike.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, but can I ask you a favor?"

"Suddenly? Suddenly what-."

When Kang Si-yoon suddenly raised his hand and begged, veteran MC Im Tae-jin tilted his head as if he didn't know what was going on.

But he gave him permission to try it anyway.

"Senior! I really wanted to tell you this, but...."

"What?"

Kang Si-yoon gave off a sparkling look at Joo Gun-hee.

Silence lingered in the filming set for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two.

Right then.

"Joo Gun-hee...... Bad Gun-hee?"

받건희 = take/receive gun hee



"Kuhaha"

"Euhahahahaha!"

At Kang Si-yoon's ad-lib, we couldn't hold back our laughter and burst out laughing as a group.

Kang Si-yoon was clapping and laughing as if he was so happy that he finally did the gag he wanted to do.

And while looking at him, Joo Gun-hee said with an expression that really didn't change.

"There's still a friend who laughs like this as 'Bad Gun-hee'. I'm so grateful."

"Oh, ahahaha! Did other people already do this?"

"Everyone here has probably done it at least once."

"I didn't know other people would laugh too. I like young blood, young blood."

The cast of also said as if they were amazed at us.

Choi Jong-woo, who boasted the brightest smile among the cast, drove the point home with his innocent speech.

"They seem to have gotten used to it, so let's just get right into it?"

"Jongwoo is right! The moment he said "Bad Geonhee" to Geonhee, all the tension was gone."

"Am I some kind of tension tester?"

"Then let's change into our uniforms and proceed with the first mission!"

After changing into our blue team uniforms, we entered the huge gymnasium on the second floor of the filming set.

"Since it's a team match, let's go with as light hearts as possible."

"Oh, you mean to believe that even if I can't do it, the other members will do well?"

"That's true... But let's do our best anyway."

"Hey, I have that much shame."

Chae Eun-gyu was giving the members words of encouragement.

When Kang Si-yoon responded very calmly, Ji Yoon-chul, who was standing next to him, glared at him with a suspicious look.

".......I can't believe it at all."

"Hey, what if you do that too, Yoon-chul?"

"Even though it's not a solo match, I can't help but suspect you."

"That's right, Siyoon hyung could be a spy!"

"Oh, no way."

One of the settings that often appears these days.

A mafia that is secretly operating inside a team match.

Kang Siyoon waved his hands and denied Yoo Minha's speculation.

"I swear it. I'm not a spy."

"What are you swearing on?"

"I swear on the ice cream that I bought the day before yesterday. If I am a spy, we'll eat it all."

"Okay, okay! I swear on the ice cream!"

They haven't even played the first game yet, and they're already betting on spies.

I left the members' conversation behind and looked around to guess what the first game would be.

There was a long folding table, and various tools were lined up on the production team's side.

There's paper, cups, and water.

'I don't know what to do with just this right now.'

After all the filming preparations were complete, the long-awaited 7v7 mirror match special began.

"As expected of a 7v7 team match, we first need to check how well your team works together. The first round is 'I'll pass you a piece of paper.'"

As the title suggests, the first game is to use your breath to lift a thin piece of paper high and relay it.

The paper is so thin that if you blow too hard, it can soar up uncontrollably, and if it's too weak, it can't even reach the next person.

So if the teamwork between team members is even a little off, the paper will fall to the floor without any strength, creating a situation where you have to start over.

"The team that gets to the finish line faster wins. The team that gets 2 points first will take this round. By the way, the team that takes fewer rounds today will receive a huge penalty, so everyone, do your best."

"A huge penalty?"

"Seniors! What kind of penalty do you usually get when you hear scary words like this?"

When Yoo Min-ha raised his hand and asked about the penalties, Chae Ji-hoon, who is a former actor, gave some examples of the most vicious penalties.

"I got hit with a water bomb in the winter, and I had to write a 20-page reflection paper. And what else did I have? Oh! When we went to film in the rice fields, I had to go out early that day to help out. I also rode a boat."

"I think all of them are going to be really hard."

"I really can't lose."

Who would try first was decided through rock-paper-scissors.

"Fighting! Everyone!"
