Chapter 356
The Seleste members have been doing various self-contents so far.
The members' desire to always show a new side of themselves to Seleves and bring them joy, and the creativity of Sigma Entertainment that tries to maximize that desire, is the result.
Most idol teams usually go on overseas tours and upload travel videos or concert behind-the-scenes videos.
It was the first time for idols to upload such food service content on their own.
-No, what? They went all the way to Estonia to fill up their patriotism, and an Estonian did it.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└He's the only one born in Estonia, so it's even funnier. He's not an idol but a Korean ambassador
└Why does our Karis love Seleste and the Republic of Korea so much?
└I kind of like Korea, so Koreans will like it too, lol. Isn't that the logic? The spirit of a man who became the world's first individual trainee and ranked first on the survival
└Face: Confidence Personality: Confidence
Seleste's Estonian content naturally garnered the attention of not only fans but also the general public.
The refreshing content of a restaurant. And since it's set in Estonia, a somewhat unfamiliar Nordic country, its novelty increases even more.
The members' visuals and entertainment skills explosively increased the number of views for their own content videos, but Estonia's beautiful scenery also played a part.
-(Video) Estonia is really pretty.... Europe is definitely more secluded and beautiful than Paris or London.
└If I lived in a place like this, I would be completely out of my mind. Seriously
└FR All the buildings have a medieval feel to them, it's like a movie set. How can the sky be so clear?
└Estonia is probably the country with the best preserved medieval buildings among the Nordic countries. ㅋㅋㅋ Especially, the old town hasn't been developed, so it preserves the old feeling even better.
└? Why do you know so well? Are you Karis?
-Every time I see something like this, I want to leave Korea and live there.... The city is so suffocatingㅠㅠ
└Hey, are Estonia's prices cheaper than Korea? Or are Northern Europe's prices really expensive? What is it, really?
└Karis is not a heartthrob or marriage-promoting AI, but an immigration-promoting spy AI
└Honestly, Karis' house looks like it has a lot of spare rooms, but can't we do a homestay?
└Would it work?
To match the quiet and beautiful atmosphere of Estonia, the filming technique used by Sigma Entertainment also changed slightly.
The screen transitions felt a bit softer, and the peaceful atmosphere was captured perfectly by highlighting the soft and natural colors rather than the bright colors.
The members who boasted visuals in white shirts were added to this, so it was really a treat for the eyes.
[World Tour Start D-20]
[A Restaurant in Seoul]
[Kang Si-yoon: This time, we really have to do well. We have to go with a documentary, not a variety show.]
[(Members with serious expressions)]
[Kang Si-yoon: Honestly, there were a lot of funny things about our cooking, so let's really prepare hard for Seleste Restaurant.]
At the words cooking and entertainment, images of the past flashed through the mind like a revolving lantern.
The members' dark history, such as the miserable failure of seaweed soup and cake.
This time, the members were thoroughly preparing for the content being conducted overseas and targeting locals.
As if to represent their determination, they were seen doing their best despite their busy schedules, such as inviting actual chefs and receiving regular lessons.
After going through such thorough preparations,
[We were standing like a family of meerkats. Our expressions were all the same.]
[So, hyung, what should we really be doing?]
[I've never run a restaurant before, so I don't know what to do.]
Until the first customer came, the members stood in a line and just looked at the door.
Everyone looked tense, but when the first customer came in a few minutes later, everyone ran to their positions as if they were on fire.
[Customers are here! Customers are here!]
[Okay, wait a minute. What should we do? First, rice? Should I roll up seaweed?]
[They haven't ordered anything yet. Just get ready, just get ready.]
Yoo Min-ha, who seemed very nervous even before the opening, was fidgeting and shaking his feet.
Then, as if he was really worried, when the first order of two kimbap came in, he and Chae Eun-gyu, who was sitting next to him, waved their arms and started cooking.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It seems like they've never rolled kimbap before, so they put kimbap on the menu.... I can see a future where they'll regret it
└Who said to put kimbap in it? He might get beaten up with kimbap after work today
└Judging from the changes in the cartoons he is reading these days, it seems like Yoo Min-ha will get beaten up with Aura Rush?? He'll just get beaten up with Fire Aura regardless of the hierarchy....
└It's okay to talk to Chae Eun-gyu about the hierarchy. The two of them will probably get beaten up together in a double.
-(Video) Karis' back is so cute.... What's that on the back of his head..... .
└Most Lovely Idol #1 by Forbes
└Whether or not there are guests, he sticks his head out the door and watches ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└Ha, I want to go and ask for everything from here to here
└It's really amazing how they work so hard even though they're nobles. If it were me, I would've just played until I died with my family's money
The first customer at Seleste Restaurant didn't realize that the store staff were idols who had a concert in Tallinn just a few days ago.
They just looked at the notice for filming attached to each table and fixed the camera with a curious expression.
However, as time passed and more customers came in, the number of people who recognized Seleste or searched for the members on the Internet increased.
[(Customer looking closely at the members)]
[Are they actors...? I should look them up.]
[Everyone else was Asian, but the waiter at our table seemed to be Estonian.]
[(While searching for something diligently)]
[Hey, hey! I found it! When I typed in Estonian idol, it came out right away.]
[Really? Oh....... It was a Korean idol group. They were somehow handsome.]
-(Video) Karis's job: Soliciting customers with his good looks, taking orders with his good looks, serving with his good looks, calculating with his good looks
└Locals also look at Karis and say "That's not the face of a normal person" and search for it, which is really funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└That's the face of a man who sells food only by relying on his face
└It's amazing. They don't take pictures or ask for autographs, but just talk to each other and look for him. If it were me, I'd run to him first.
-(Video) Hyungbin stutters while greeting in Estonian ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└It's so funny when the customer gets bored and finishes the sentence herself ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└(Photo) Sullen Hamster
└Oh [in a cute way].... How does a hamster speak a foreign language? Don't be too discouraged^^
└Yoo Min-ha is cooking the food.... If he was in charge of serving, the mic would have already blown. But it's definitely fun
One of the best parts of
Karis' appearance, which Kang Si-yoon said was like a field commander, was even more overwhelming when seen in the video.
An incredible memory that doesn't mix up table numbers and orders.
The strength and stamina felt from his arms that don't shake even when he carries plates multiple times in a row.
And the mental strength that keeps his expression unchanged and his gentle smile the whole time.
Seleves felt once again that Karis isn't called an all-rounder for nothing.
- He dominates the stage and the hall.
└How can he memorize all the orders without making a single mistake??? He didn't even take notes.
└No, he's a noble. Then he must have never worked part-time. What is this experience and composure?
└I'm telling you that Sigma is lying to make you laugh. What the f*ck, two-handed serving? Is it true?
└'I'm good at everything with my body'
└'I'm good at my body, so my head doesn't suffer'
└But Karis has both
└Life is unfair
Seleste Restaurant was a success, consistently welcoming customers on the second day and the third day, the last day.
The members also felt the reward for their hard work, as they finished the content without any particular mistakes.
The countless memories from Estonia, the hometown of Karis, were also well conveyed to Seleves.
The world tour, which had been a somewhat quiet time for domestic fans.
Domestic fans began to feel lively again with their own content videos, and the calendar soon turned to December, signaling the end of the year.
And the season of year-end award ceremonies, which wrap up the year, has also returned.

"The tuxedo is a bit awkward."
"It's been a while since I've dressed up like this."
"That's right."
All seven of us headed to the KAMA filming set, all dressed up in suits.
KAMA, which had been held overseas in Osaka and Macau, recently returned to Korea this year.
I heard that most of the singers who had not attended the overseas events will attend this year.
I also witnessed opinions spreading through internet communities that there was a rough estimate of where this year's grand prize winners would go.
'But that doesn't mean kimchi stew is absolutely forbidden.'
I thought to myself as I neatly straightened my shirt sleeves in the car.
If you look at just the results, there are hardly any idol groups that can compete with us for the grand prize this year.
Connex, whose activities were expected to overlap this year, surprisingly didn't do much and instead seemed to be resting.
Other groups like Haillight, whom we met during our first activities, also fell far short of our results this year.
In fact, even if I think about it objectively, I don't think there's a team that can beat Seleste this year, but we shouldn't be complacent until we get the trophy.
"...Aren't you tired?"
"Hmm? I'm fine."
"But Eun-gyu hyung was snoring a lot yesterday."
"When did you hear that again?"
Ji Yoon-chul, who was sitting next to me, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Ji Yoon-chul, who usually wears his hair down, neatly tied his bangs up today.
It's a styling that highlights his slightly upturned cat-like eyes and his sharp, small face.
"I came out to drink water because I was thirsty in the morning, and when I heard something muttering in hyung's room, I looked and saw that Eun-gyu hyung was sleeping."
"It looks like you had a nightmare last night."
"Me? What, did I really mumble?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
Chae Eun-gyu looked very embarrassed at Ji Yoon-chul and I's immediate response.
"I didn't even dream last night, that's strange."
"Maybe the choreography practice was too hard."
"Hey, I shouldn't be tired because of that."
On stage today, there's a part where Chae Eun-gyu and Song Hyung-bin each do a short solo dance.
So maybe that's why they came into the room late last night after working together.
"If someone asks about your dark circles, tell them that you had a nightmare last night."
"I even have dark circles?"
"Hmm...."
I deliberately stared at Chae Eun-gyu's face closely and acted worried.
"You're just like a panda."
"Really?"
When Chae Eun-gyu hurriedly checked his face, Kang Si-yoon, who was watching, shook his head as if he was frustrated.
"If you look closely, that hyung is also really a fluttering."
"No, he doesn't usually listen to others, but when Karis talks, it seems like something is true."
"I admit that, but he's been lying a lot lately, so don't get fooled."
"Who did you learn all that from, Si-yoon?"
"Thank the teacher, then."
"You're not even denying it now."
"I've given up, so I'm just going to enjoy it."
While the members were chatting amongst themselves, we arrived at Sangam-dong where KAMA was held.
The second year-end award ceremony since debuting as Seleste has officially begun.
