Chapter 366
There are many ways to attract people's attention.
Among them, the method that Seleste and Sigma Entertainment unintentionally utilized was 'reverse use of characters'.
As shown in Estonia's own content a while ago, Karis is the idol that best fits the image of a noble.
Appearance, personality, dignity.
Since he naturally exudes the image of a noble without any exception, it was natural to think of a noble when you see Karis.
If Karis takes on the role of a butler and even immerses himself 120% in that role.
There will be a series of scenes that are the exact opposite of Karis's image that everyone knows.
There were many scenes like this even before Karis said the lines he discussed with Yoo Min-ha.
For example, adding 'master' to every word.
Severely scolding Kang Si-yoon for using a speech style that is somewhat out of place for a butler.
Seleves already knew that Karis was immersed in his role, but no one knew that he would deliberately take the butler concept to the extreme and make strangely annoying comments.
[Yare yare, you really are a capricious young master.]
This comment was emphasized even more when it appeared not only once, but once by Karis alone, and then once more with Kang Si-yoon and Karis together while the other members watched from behind.
A line that can be used as meme material, appropriate gestures, and even facial expressions.
Thanks to Sushiz who created a gem-like scene, the so-called 'Yare yare' meme of these two was edited out and uploaded to many people's accounts.
It gained explosive interest as it spread as a humorous article not only on Blue Bird, which is often used by idol fans, but also on communities such as Stargram and YouTube Shorts.

└@bifff_00 Is your favorite has a double job in Japan?
└└If that's true, I'm seriously thinking of going to Japan to live ㅅㅂ
└└I am a fan of my favorite's favorite, I'm not in my right mind either....
└@yxxsxxyxoㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are you going to do this during lunch time tomorrow?
└I'm confused, but are these the idols that were causing a fuss about being actual nobles a while ago?
└Yes ....
-So.........… A person from an actual noble family is cosplaying as a butler with such a king like tone? Something seems very wrong.
└We think so too...........

└So Yu-bin is the one receiving the punishment, right? Those two are executing it
└No ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are the two receiving the punishment more excited?
└0:23 Heo Yu-bin is turning pale in real time
└Our Si-yoon might look like a weird kid
That's weird
└Fact) The original author of the Yare Yare comment was Yoo Min-ha and the finger-twiddling was Karis' idea. Si Yoon just went to the bathroom and said, "Oh! This looks fun!" and did it together.
└└As expected, it is Kang Si Yoon's fault.... I knew it
└└ㅜㅜ Kang Si Yoon lost 1 million won
There was talk among the members that this scene would go viral if done well during the conversation.
Even Yoo Min Ha, who came up with the line, said in passing that if it became famous, there could even be a challenge.
However, the speed at which Sushiz's video spread among fans and the general public was much faster than expected.
Several creators who were already doing well on the shorts platform uploaded videos of themselves following Sushiz's "Yare Yare" and showed signs of creating a challenge just like Yoo Min-ha mentioned.
Sigma Entertainment was not one to just sit back and watch this situation.
The planning department and the public relations department discussed ideas, judging that they should make full use of the shorts and challenge formats, which are the most accessible mediums for people.
As a result of the discussion, they decided to directly produce a challenge video using one of Seleste's songs that went well with the "Yare Yare" line as the background music.
Rather than a strong atmosphere like Seleste's title song, an easy-listening song that people can easily hum along to was the most suitable.
That's why the easy-listening genre song
If you mix it with the cute rhythm that Kang Si-yoon and Karis created themselves...........
[Capricious Young Master // #YareYare #Seleste]
The Yare Yare Challenge, which was completed in an instant with everyone's cooperation, naturally started officially with the original creators, Karis and Kang Si-yoon.
It was a perfect challenge video that didn't just repeat the lines, but also included a simple dance.
After that, Yoo Min-ha/Heo Yu-bin, Song Hyung-bin/Chae Eun-gyu, and Ji Yoon-chul even took on the challenge one after another, all alone, in full outfits and even wearing ties.
-Now they're not following memes, they're creating memes among themselves....
└Wow, they're really quick to officially launch a challenge because they see some reactions
└The company and the artist are the most serious about making people laugh
└What the hell is this hybrid, Leves
└Why is Pillows here, f*ck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└It's really amazing that all 7 of them are in serious mode
Seleves were amazed at Sigma Entertainment's actions, which realized the popularity of 'Yare Yare' faster than light,
Other fandoms and the general public could not help but be amazed by the original video of the 'Yare Yare' challenge, which is taking over YouTube and the TikTok ecosystem at a destructive speed.
-(Quote) Why do these guys always make jokes whenever there's a lot of retweets?— ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└That's the face of someone who's really enjoying themselves ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㄴGood-looking people are still good-looking even when they're acting like that
└Even the celebrities on my timeline, I don't know why, why are they going crazy over and over again....
└I thought Seleste would be really arrogant after their world tour ended, but they keep bringing up weird things and I like it;;;;;;
The challenge video of Karis and Kang Si-yoon rushed toward 3 million views.
Videos of various famous celebrities and influencers who rode the challenge craze also recorded high views.
As a result,
People of all ages followed Seleste's challenge.
Idols, who cannot help but be sensitive to the latest trends, also filmed videos in music broadcast waiting rooms or company practice rooms.
There was one idol who was looking at this craze with a mysterious feeling.
***
'My hyung-nim..........'
Karis von Walden.
The crown prince and leader of the empire, and the supreme commander leading the army.
The honor of being crown prince comes with a tremendous weight.
As someone who must move toward the ultimate goal of subduing the Demon King's army, he lived his entire life carrying that burden.
Owen's brother accomplished that difficult task.
Internally, he promoted peace and safety for the empire, and externally, he showed off his excellent military leadership and operational capabilities, and defeated the Demon King's army that had threatened the continent for hundreds of years.
A brother who was always noble, respectable, and more worthy of the position of crown prince than anyone else.
A brother who always reigned over everyone..........
"Owen, did you see this? Should we film today too? What do you think?"
Owen fixed his gaze on his cell phone screen, ignoring Q's voice calling him.
He fixed his gaze on the screen.
On his phone screen, a video of Karis and Kang Si-yoon dancing the 'Yare Yare' challenge was constantly being played.
'My brother, dressed as a butler, dancing like this. This is impossible.'
Who on earth came up with the idea to create this video?
Who made this noble and dignified brother like this?
Owen had already watched Seleste's latest original content this morning.
Based on the information he got from there.
Yes, the targets to be dealt with were narrowed down to two.
The first was Heo Yu-bin, who won for no reason and gave his brother the role of butler.
The second was Yoo Min-ha, who directly provided the basis for this strange idea.
Owen's brilliant mind was quickly simulating how to cook these two.
As someone who has a firm grip on the social circles of
However, he also knew very well that he shouldn't mess with his brother's closest associates.
"Hey. Hey, Owen, are you thinking about something else again?"
"I'm listening. Let's film that challenge video?"
"Yeah!"
Q smiled brightly, completely unaware of Owen's complicated feelings.
"It seems like other idols are uploading videos too, so it would be sad if we didn't do it too. We did the challenge with Seleste seniors last time."
"That's true."
"You don't seem to like it?"
How should I start explaining this?
Owen sighed as he stroked his bangs.
It's not like he can say, 'I can't stand to see my brother doing this ridiculous dance.'
But he can't just say outright that he hates this challenge that's so popular these days.
After much thought, Owen decided to just brush it off.
"I was just wondering if we could handle this well. I don't have that kind of image."
"Huh? Why are you worried about that?"
Q tilted his head as if he really didn't know.
"Weren't you close with Senior Karis?"
"...That's true."
"Then you should know better. Senior Karis can dance this well and with such great feeling, so how could you not?"
Hmm?
You're saying something more plausible than I thought.
Owen raised his head after hearing Q say such nice things about Karis.
Well, even a friend like this would have an eye for it.
"I thought you and Senior Karis had very similar vibes from the moment I first saw you. So if Senior Karis could do it, then of course Owen could do it too! I always believed in you."
".........Say it again."
"Huh? Again?"
"Say what you just said again."
At Owen's unexpected request, Q blinked several times, wondering what he was talking about.
"That's... you and Senior Karis have similar vibes."
"Really? Does that seem so?"
"Huh? Huh?"
"I raised you well."
Owen patted Q's head with a very satisfied expression, and Q continued to look at him strangely.
"Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?"
"It's cute because you said the right thing."
"I can't follow what you're talking about. Anyway, what are we going to do? Let's film it together tomorrow, okay? If you don't, I'll ask Jungwoon Hyung to do it."
"Let's film it."
Owen answered Q's words in a refreshing tone.
When he looked at the 'Yare Yare' challenge on his phone again, he could see it clearly now.
How much fun did hyung-nim have filming this challenge?
'If I filmed it with that kind of heart, hyung-nim.......... As a younger brother who swore my life, I should definitely do it together.'
In the end, the two brothers had no choice but to resemble each other.
Just as Karis thought that since he was already chosen to do the penalty, he should do it properly, Owen also decided that if he was going to film a funny challenge, he should do it properly.
