Chapter 355
Everyone knew that Seleste had gone on a world tour throughout Europe, including Estonia.
However, no one except the parties involved knew that they had secretly visited Karis' hometown in the secluded village of Sagadi, quite a distance from the capital of Estonia, Tallinn.
So when a video titled [Is this the Emperor's Hometown? // Selkit List] was uploaded to Seleste's YouTube, it caused a huge reaction among Seleves.
-(Photo) Guys, it's finally here, Estonia Jacon
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I remember the kids were so tired when they arrived in the country
└You don't even need to look to know that Kamossi went to his home ground, so they must have been excited and prepared for the fun pentathlon for themselves
[The modern pentathlon is a sport in which five events are held consecutively: fencing, swimming, obstacle racing, shooting, and cross-country running. The records are scored and the winner is determined by the total score.]
└(Photo) No, they came back having lost more weight than when they were active, so what the hell did they do in Estonia ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-If you could choose between a 10 billion won after tax without any problems, Nordic royalty status, and a damn handsome face, which would you choose?
└Oh no... While thinking about it, Karis took all three.
└ㅅㅂ It's no use choosing right away without thinking about it ㅜㅜㅜ
└The world seems so unfair
└Just choose Karis, what's the problem? Then everything will be solved
└Karis didn't work hard to become like that
-Karis, during all this time when he was serving, debuting, and at concerts, he was the only member who never invited his parents, so how hard would it be to live alone in a foreign country... I just shed tears thinking about that, but crazy suddenly dragged all his coworkers and went home saying he wanted to see his dad
└ A man has guts
└It wasn't even Karis who said to go?? Didn't Kang Si Yoon say he wanted to go in the first episode of Selkit?
└Isn't Kang Si Yoon really crazy?? Mom, I'm going to visit a friend's house. Where should I go? A place where I have to ride a plane for 15 hours^^ This is it right now
The thumbnail of the video was a face of Karis, wearing a crown, cheering on the stage of Estonia on the World Tour.
Whenever Karis decorated the thumbnail, it basically had the effect of eating a huge amount of aggro, but the additional interest of Estonia and visiting his hometown overlapped, boasting more than twice the usual ripple effect.
[Sagadi is where Estonian nobles used to live. The mansion in the center of Sagadi is currently operated as a hotel for tourists, and there is also a museum nearby, so you can feel the old scenery of Estonia. It is said that there are quite a few residents living in the old mansions on the outskirts. The house we are going to, Karis's house, is one of these mansions.]
[Huh?]
[What?]
[Mansion? Hotel? Huh?]
When Manager Yeo Chang-min explained the background of Sagadi in the car heading to Sagadi, the members were surprised as a group.
Seleves who watched the video couldn't help but make similar expressions.
-What?
└No, the prince joke I always joked about was real...?
└Are there still nobles in Estonia?? Didn't all that disappear in the Middle Ages?
└I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, crazyㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ What the hell is this
-(Link) This is a post that foreigners uploaded to Reddit during the old days of IPS, and they were debating Karis's surname? It says that the surname Von Walden was a noble family in the past and is still a family with a long history.
└So Karis is roughly Jeonju Lee Clan?
-(Quote) If this is real.... So you're saying that Suja-nim came to Korea and studied Korean while reading web novels with backgrounds related to his family...??
└I wondered why he studied in a romance novel tone, but ㅅㅂ it's because he's from a noble family.
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ crazy
└What language do Estonia speak?? Do they have honorifics or royal speech like we do? No, but.... Then he's using his own language like when he's speaking Korean right now??
Everyone was excited about the fact that Sagadi was a village where nobles lived, and that the customs of the nobles from the Middle Ages and the mansions they lived in were still preserved.
Many fans said that it wasn't for nothing that Karis insisted on speaking like a romance fantasy noble since the beginning of
Many people were also amazed that there was a reason for the natural nobility that came from his appearance and atmosphere.
When Sagadi's lush forests, wide plains, and mansions that still retained their old-fashioned atmosphere finally appeared, the members' eyes widened.
However, there was only one person who hit Karis' arm.
It was Kang Si-yoon who had been fooled by Karis' bluff.
[How on earth is this a ranch? What kind of ranch has a fountain and a rose garden in the front yard!]
[Hmm, hmm.]
Karis made a cheeky expression as if he didn't know anything.
Seleves laughed heartily at him, seeing him become more shameless than before.
- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ A ranch with no animals to the point of being suspiciously fragrant
└That's.... Isn't it a ranch by his standards?
└Karis's thinking
└Should I send this hyung-nim to Daegwanryeong?
└Damn, if that's a ranch, it should have a unicorn instead of a horse
The von Walden family's mansion was truly enormous.
A garden decorated with roses boasting gorgeous visuals and a large fountain that looked like something from a European park.
They couldn't believe that things they'd only seen in pictures existed in real life.
Seleves who were already watching this video were speechless, but Karis's hometown visit was only just beginning.
[Hello, friends of Young Master Karis, we sincerely welcome you to Estonia.]
After opening the door to the mansion, an old, white-haired butler bowed and greeted them.
Seleves were first surprised that there was a family that actually hired a butler, and secondly surprised when they heard Karis being called Young Master.
-(Video) Hey, don't joke around. You're not hiring an actor, are you serious???
└(Quote) This is the first time I've seen the word 'butler' used in the real world.
└Not a gold spoon or diamond spoon, but a noble spoon, ㅅㅂㅋㅋ
└You really grew up in a palace like that, in a yard with roses, being educated by a butler and nannies? Except for being a king, everything is the real Karis' life??
└Why did you come to this fucking miserable country and live like that? What the fuck has K-pop done to this guy?
People couldn't help but wonder how great the von Walden family was, given their noble background.
Even if they were nobles, in today's modern society, it's not like they can have a ruling class below the nobles like in the past, and there's no imperial family.
Some of the ordinary people who weren't fans of Seleste wrote on SNS with a slightly displeased tone that Karis was making a topic of conversation like this.
-(Video) This is a normal person? Please don't make fun of me.
└Aren't they a movie actor? Isn't this also a casting? No, it's just that this whole thing is one huge opening, like a worldview. When they made him a prince, he was a real noble and lived in a palace, but one day he suddenly saw K-pop and got addicted to it, taught himself Korean through romance webtoons, applied for an idol survival show on his own, and came to Korea alone. How is that possible?
└It seems like they're really pushing the April Fool's event, but this is the only explanation I can give.
└But since they're from a noble family, is it okay for their faces to be revealed like this??....
└(Photo) If you look closely at the father's face, he really looks like Karis when he was youngㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└What the.... Karis gave birth to Karis
Karis, who boasts incredible visuals that can turn the Korean entertainment industry upside down.
Everyone wondered what his parents, who gave him such a face and physique, would be like, but no matter what they imagined, they were beyond their imagination.
Seleves were simply astonished at Karis' parents, who boasted looks that rivaled those of movie stars.
However, this astonishment mixed with admiration did not come simply from his parents' appearances.
[The von Walden family has been famous in academic circles since ancient times. My grandfather majored in genetic engineering, and my father majored in chemical engineering. I graduated from the Department of Biotechnology and am currently a professor at the University of Tartu. And our family also operates several hospitals.]
Following the news that the von Walden family was an aristocratic family that came from Sweden and settled in Estonia, it was also revealed that Karis' father is currently a university professor and a hospital director.
He was not just a nobleman, but also had a truly remarkable background.
Seleves were very good at searching.
Those who searched for Karis' father's name immediately went to several English-language sites and succeeded in obtaining the exact name.
-Karis's Fatherhas three doctoral degrees from Tallinn University of Technology, and the Lindhalm Hospital he currently owns is so large and well-equipped that it is ranked among the top three in Estonia.
└No, the honor is crazy, just f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Is Tallinn University of Technology a tier 1 university in Estonia? Then does that mean a professor who got 3 degrees from Pohang University of Science and Technology or KAIST is like the director of a branch of Korea University Hospital??....
└It's not that AI Karis is weird, but his cover is a real inhumane personㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even if his family is rich, what the f*ck is his specs?
└I've never seen a family like this before
└Because his family members live like this, Karis kept asking himself at first if he was that special ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋF*ck, he's average by his father's standards
- How much is their wealth? If I get married, will I also get a noble title?
└It's not a house, they run a few hospitals. How the hell can you calculate that?
└If it's a family that's been making money since their great-grandfather, like in the video, they must have made a lot of money? And I don't know the history of their country, but if there was no war, then LEGEND
The lunch that followed was like a scene from a movie.
A luxurious dinner enjoyed in a dining room with a high ceiling.
A long table was filled with luxurious Estonian dishes, including elk dishes that you can't find in Korea.
The Sigma Entertainment filming team also didn't add any subtitles to vividly convey this atmosphere, and just captured the view of the mansion and the members eating.
After finishing their meal, the members all entered his father's study, and what immediately caught their eyes was the family album.
[I was really curious about what Karis looked like when he was young.]
[I'm ready to take that picture.]
Did Karis's appearance really come together from a young age?
Seleves who were watching the
Finally, Karis himself opened the family album, and the sight of the young Karis stuck in the vinyl holder was truly a great shock to the heart.
-(Photo) Karis is a really prominent baby crown prince....
└It's so amazing that Karis had a childhood. Just one day, all of a sudden, step by step, Mom, I'm leaving to debut. I think it'll be like this.
└There's a definite impression that natural beauty gives.
└In the meantime, the clothes and background are really... Isn't this the real romance world?? Haㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-(Photo) Did Karis know at that time? That he would be leaving for the East in about 10 years and debuting as an idol..... .
└Seriously, what's the probability that he regressed? He took them all
└It's even more interesting that his parents didn't oppose him when he was in that family
└Karis reading a web novel: ㅋㅋOh my god, this is so frustrating. This isn't how you should live ㅋㅋ
└Are you crazy?
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
There are always adjectives that follow Karis.
Like royalty. Like a crown prince. Looks luxurious.
Fans aren't just choosing these words because they like them, but now they have a reason to support them.
It may have been unintentional, but it was self-content that explained Karis' unique way of speaking.
Seleves who watched the entire 20-minute video were captivated by the deep aftertaste.
The trailer said that
A few days later,
