Chapter 279
When Karis was in charge of Lemon in the relay game, he brainwashed himself into thinking he was a machine that crushed lemons.
That brainwashing must have worked, because Karis on screen really looked like a berserker born to eat only lemons.
-No, Karis, I think he's going to die from eating lemons. It's so scary. Stop it, you guys. ㅜㅜㅜ
└Ah, just looking at it makes me feel sour
└Seleste Special: I don't know if that's weird, but I just watch it together, saying, "Wow, Karis is good."
└ㄴㄴ No, if you look at Chae Eun Gyu or Heo Yu Bin, they seem to notice something weird... But they only close their eyes
└Heo Yu-bin, how did you really adapt to being around those guys?? I respect you.
Karis's personal fans were very happy that there were already several famous scenes that they could watch over and over again for the past few days.
But it was still too early for them to be satisfied.
-Our genre romance prince is crawling on all fours now
└Please keep your dignity Your Majesty....
└Fuck, please keep your dignity
└Kang Si-yoon is a real entertainment god ㅁㅊ
└But is it right to express a lion like that? Why did it suddenly become a kitten
└They must not know it, Kang Si-yoon changed the order in the middle, how would they knowㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
In 'Speak with your body' where lunch was on the line, he endured the embarrassment and crawled on all fours.
When he actually got to eat pork ribs, he made a famous remark that his stomach was so bloated because he ate too many lemons in the previous game, making fans burst into laughter.
The second round was all decided by luck.
Here, Karis showed a somewhat quiet appearance, but the original entertainment cheat key, Kang Si-yoon, impressed everyone by putting on an amazing performance that completely killed the spirits of the entertainment veterans.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It seems like Tong Ajusshi has been waiting for this moment, as soon as he puts the knife in, he rises up powerfully
└Kang Si-yoon Universe where everything becomes the opposite of what he wants
└Can someone please ask Si-yoon for the lottery numbers?
└Why.... Do you think he'll get the lottery right?
└No, because if I just avoid that number he picks, I think I'll get 5,000 won
-The whole universe is sending energy to Kang Si-yoon to do variety shows
└Isn't this the real divine revelation? And even he himself wants to keep making someone laugh
└But Siyoon, you're an idol...
└I can't really tell if this guy is an idol or a crazy kid
Due to Kang Si-yoon's clumsy hands, the score was tied 1-1, and only the long-awaited final round remained.
When it was revealed that the event was 'relay cockfighting', Seleves couldn't hide their excitement at the thought that they would finally be able to see Karis in action.
And this prediction turned out to be true without fail.
-Ha Karis Just now, the speed wall X-wave itself is just ㅋㅋ Ah, really, really sexy. How on earth did you practice full concentration breathing....
└What is wall X-wave??
└Ah
└Ah, I made a mistake. Please don't mention it.
└Wall X-wave is the name of a technique used by someone who can use lightning breathing. There must be several skills, right? This is the first skill that comes out. It's the most basic, but it's fundamental and important. It's a skill that goes crazy like lightning in one shot. If you hit it 6 times in a row, it can make it look like a person is teleporting. It's just a game itself See more
-(Photo) Muscle splits are so sexy, I shouldn't say that....
└There are so many people with abnormal libido on my timeline right now, so seeing normal libido makes me feel weird
└I want to see Karis using a machine with the weight set really heavy.... I think he could deadlift 130kg really easily. I want to go to the same gym as him....
└You're not in your right mind at all
-Jung Moo-hyuk is really good at avoiding attacks and dodging them well. He's a master of fighting.
└Karis, now you're going to be called to YouTube and film content where you work out together?? What if you can't control your emotions there?
└Suddenly retiring because he's filming a body profile
└Oh my god, this is so horrible, please don't bulk up
The special was so full of fun scenes that the one and a half hour airing time felt so short.
Seleves were so proud of their idols who showed off their amazing skills without being intimidated at all in their first terrestrial entertainment show.
Regular viewers of
And as the last service, Seleste's
Sunday, which gave fans 100% satisfaction, passed like that.
There was also surprising news delivered to Seleves on Monday.
[Notice) 4/30 Seleste's first fan meeting]
It was an announcement that the first fan meeting would be held on April 30th, the day of Seleste's formation, at the Olympic Handball Stadium.
"Hyungs, look at this!"
***
The music broadcast waiting room was bustling.
Yoo Min-ha, who was looking at his phone, went towards the sofa where Song Hyung-bin and Kang Si-yoon were sitting with excited eyes.
"They've already seen our notice posted this many times!"
"There were also many reactions saying that getting tickets would be difficult."
"Oh, that?"
Kang Si-yoon glanced at Yoo Min-ha's phone and smiled lightly.
Then he showed something on his phone.
"Okay, look carefully, Min-ha. If you want to check the fans' reactions, do this......."
"Oh, oh......!"
"Here, like this......."
Kang Si-yoon, who is also good at finding fans' reactions on SNS, gave Yoo Min-ha various tips.
I watched Yoo Min-ha's eyes widen in real time while I was getting my makeup fixed.
"Wow, wow! Si-yoon, how come you know this so well?"
"Heh, this is the class of a senior in life."
"Tell me more! Can I find this on other platforms?"
"Of course. Ha, but the rest of it requires more training."
"I'll learn hard!"
Kang Si-yoon stroked his chin with a serious expression, as if he was teaching him a special martial arts technique.
With Yoo Min-ha, who was very good at pleasing him, it was truly dumb and dumber.
Aside from the two members' ridiculous chemistry, it's true that there was a huge response to the news of our fan meeting.
I also took a quick look at SNS platforms, and there were a lot of people who expected that there would be a bloody ticketing frenzy.
There were some Seleves who couldn't go because they had exams scheduled for the 30th, and there were some who were determined to go to the fan meeting this time because they couldn't attend events like fan signings.
The number of seats is set at 5,000. On the day of the fan club pre-sale, the ticketing site's server could go down without any warning.
'It still feels like a dream that so many people love us.'
I kept the Seleves' high expectations in my heart and made up my mind.
In order to repay everyone's love, I have to practice even harder and work hard in the future.
Even for a great stage. Even for a fun minigame.
As if to represent my thoughts, on one side of the waiting room, Ji Yoon-chul was holding onto Heo Yu-bin and teaching him the choreography of a girl group cover medley.
"Hyung, you need to wave with a little more flexibility in your waist. Right now, your movements feel too stiff."
"Ahhhhh, I understand it in my head, but my body won't follow."
"....... Hmm, let's try it with the feeling of completely relaxing your body?"
Since Heo Yu-bin is the member with the worst dancing skills, Ji Yoon-chul felt a sense of responsibility as a teacher and even gave him one-on-one tutoring.
It was really amazing to see him practice so diligently, even squeezing out every spare moment.
'I can't believe these two couldn't even talk to each other comfortably before.'
When preparing for the
Ji Yoon-chul also didn't know how to treat Heo Yu-bin, who was older, so there was a subtle tension between the two.
Heo Yu-bin, who was timid, has now grown to the point where he can talk back to all the members, including Ji Yoon-chul, comfortably.
Ji Yoon-chul, whose personality has changed the most among the members, is increasingly showing behaviors that are appropriate for his age.
Looking at the members' changed appearances, it's amazing how much time has passed.
"Guys, it's time to start wrapping up!"
"Yes!"
In order to wrap up this week's activities well, we go on stage today with a grateful heart.
***
The things I wanted always slipped through my fingers.
-Eun-gyu, I'm sorry, but... I think this is it.
Not only did the team fall apart at the threshold of debut, but when they moved to a new agency, I was the only one who didn't receive a helping hand.
When I found out that the entire project team, except for myself, had transferred to COC Entertainment, I really wanted to quit everything.
Is this really the right path to take?
Why did I invest so much time and struggle to get this result?
What should I do with my uncompensated time?
What was my past self for?
Chae Eun-gyu's mental strength had reached its limit.
For a while, he was crushed by defeat, not even hearing any news related to the idol industry.
Then one day, the first news he happened to see was Connex's Triple Crown.
He said that he regretfully couldn't take them because of his age and potential, but he knew all along that all those words from the team leader were just nice lies.
However, he somehow brainwashed himself into thinking that it wasn't a lie.
Because if he admitted that all of this comfort was a lie, he wouldn't be able to endure it anymore.
When Chae Eun-gyu, who had been avoiding everything like that, saw Connex's Triple Crown article, the feeling he had was....strangely, it was far from despair.
I wasn't even angry that others had succeeded, except for me.
I didn't feel frustrated that I was the only one who had failed.
I just started to think this way.
In order to receive compensation for the past years, I had no choice but to take action.
If I collapsed on my own just because I had experienced failure once, I would end up destroying the tower I had worked so hard to build.
Chae Eun-gyu's will was not easily broken.
Yes, let's recognize that our past selves were lacking.
Having shortcomings means that there is potential for further development in the future.
From this point on, Chae Eun-gyu developed a personal characteristic that he didn't even know he had.
A belief that would never be broken no matter what happened.
Of course, the impatience in a corner of his heart tormented his heart throughout the year.
That he really didn't have much time left.
That he had to make a decision before his value fell even further.
Because of these thoughts, Cha Eun-gyu went on
Cha Eun-gyu didn't know until then.
While competing in the survival show, he would make precious connections, overcome past pain, experience collapse due to impatience, and eventually prove that his own beliefs were right.
Even after debuting as Seleste, Chae Eun-gyu always had this thought.
'No matter which way I turn, I only see my dependable younger brothers.'
He was able to gradually let go of the burden on his mind that he had been carrying alone.
The dream that he had struggled to protect on his own was now protected by his six younger brothers.
They could all rely on each other and move forward together.
This belief that Chae Eun-gyu had protected so much had finally succeeded in blooming into a beautiful flower.
"This week's number one is.... Congratulations, Seleste!"
-Boom!
Pollen is flying everywhere.
He hears the sound of his younger brothers running towards him from both sides.
He feels hands wrapping around his neck and shoulders.
Maybe it's because they were holding his hands tightly. Some of the members' hands were soaked with sweat.
That's how much everyone was waiting for the results of today's music show.
The desire that Chae Eun-gyu had vowed while spitting out the lump in his heart.
The hand that he stretched out, wanting to catch up with his former colleagues who had gone much higher than him, finally reached the same level.
"Eun-gyu, hyuuunng!"
"We did it! Triple Crown! Triple Crown!"
"Heuheuuuuuu!"
"...we did it!"
Chae Eun-gyu silently looked at his younger brothers, who were looking at him with tears welling up in their eyes.
At that moment, when the MC next to him handed him the trophy, reality finally came rushing in like warm water.
"...... That's right. We really did it."
Chae Eun-gyu smiled brightly as he looked at the trophy in his hand.
Finally, he caught up.
Finally, they could look at each other from an equal height.
And now, all that was left was to overtake those who had left him behind.
