When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar - Chapter 181
# 182
One in a Million (3)
Dowook had a cell phone in his hand. Taehyung Park looked at the mobile phone screen in Dowook’s hand.
The MyTube account was displayed on the phone screen, and a total of three videos were uploaded to an account with the ID ‘dancing21’.
The videos were uploaded 2 weeks ago, 1 week ago, and 3 days ago, respectively.
Even though it is a young video, it has over 10,000 views and has about 6,000 followers.
Of course, it was not comparable to the accounts of celebrities or well-known people, but if this trend continued, it would easily reach 100,000 followers within a few months.
It was even more amazing considering not only the period and number of videos, but also the quality of the videos.
The video was shot with a cell phone, and even at the highest resolution, it was only 640px wide.
In the blurry screen with a deserted parking lot in the background, there was a man standing wearing a plain white sweatshirt and gray sweatpants.
It was difficult to recognize his face because he wore a black cap pressed down under his eyes and a mask with a hood over it.
[Dance practice #1 – Jackson3 Thrill (practice)]
This was the title of the first video posted two weeks ago.
When I pressed the play button, the young man started dancing to the song, moving his feet flashily. It was an original choreography, not a cover of the original choreography. It was a choreography that showed a lot of inner strength.
Although it was short, it was a perfect composition. I was able to experience the flexibility and power of dance at the same time.
There were a considerable number of comments below the video.
-A great master has appearedㄷㄷ
-This is the highest quality dance video I’ve seen recently
-Who is that asian boy? wonderful!
-Please upload more videos!
-Where are you from? Creative choreography, right??? It’s really cool
– it’s so cool!!! But it’s a parking lot in the background haha. It would be better if you took a picture with a camera and uploaded it properly.
-Show your face^^ I feel like your face is a handsome guy too^^***
-fantastic! i’ve never seen before like that!
-We are spreading it to the Dancing King community~!!
-I saw it on Thinking and thought, the other videos are amazing too
. -It’s now got over 100 comments on Thinking and it’s become a popular video.. Did you know that lol
-If you’re invited to appear in Star King, I hope you come out hahaha. I want to see your face haha
– If you’re really this good, you should go to Star King. Haha
– No, why are you leaving such an old-fashioned program haha
– 21! Do you not do cover dances? KK’s choreography just once… I want to see it because it feels like Taehyung oppa in some way!
– Doesn’t this just feel amateurish? -The
video was spreading in communities related to professional Smell dance, and the majority opinion was that it could not have been amateur.
I didn’t think it was Taehyung Park himself, but there were also opinions that he felt similar to Taehyung Park.
It wasn’t similar.
The man in the video was Taehyung Park.
The period during which the video was uploaded also overlapped with the period while Park Tae-hyung was in Uljin.
It was not long ago that Dowook discovered this video. It was a time when I was frustrated and thinking of another way because Park Taehyung wasn’t answering my phone and I couldn’t visit him right away.
Unlike other members who mainly used Facenote, I remembered that Taehyung Park often went to MyTube and watched videos.
Just in case, I looked for the ID that Taehyung Park frequently uses personally. I learned this ID because Taehyung Park had previously shared the ID of the site where he made the payment.
I was really wondering just in case, but there was an account with the ID ‘dancing21’ and even a video was uploaded to that account.
Even if I had watched the video without knowing the ID, I was confident that I would have recognized it as Taehyung Park.
It was Taehyung Park’s move that I had seen while practicing together for many years.
‘Practicing dance alone and uploading videos without receiving any contact…’
Park Tae-hyung’s heart touched Do-wook.
Taehyung Park looked at the screen and looked surprised.
Of course, the video was more popular than Taehyung Park thought, but it wasn’t enough for member Dowook to find it.
“You already know. “Isn’t that why you raised the ability you have?”
“That’s…”
Park Taehyung wasn’t just blaming himself for not having any presence or anything in KK. I was looking for a way to resolve my concerns.
And Taehyung Park himself knew that the answer was dance.
Therefore, Taehyung Park thought about what he could do with dance and came up with the idea of uploading his creative choreography on the Internet.
It was because I felt like if I could be recognized as an unknown person and not a member of KK, I would be able to do something with more confidence.
That was the time when Taehyung Park gradually regained his confidence.
“Park Taehyung. “You were doing your part.”
“Do-Wook….”
“You could have done more, but people just didn’t know.”
Park Tae-hyung’s gaze turned downward at Do-wook’s words.
“You can do better.”
Even the cold winter wind could not cool Taehyung Park’s hot eyes.
Actually, that was what I wanted to hear. ‘You can do more too.’ The words. Just saying that I was doing well enough wasn’t enough. Like Do-wook, Park Tae-hyung also wanted to develop like the other members.
Do-wook comforted Park Tae-hyung.
People’s tendencies were diverse. Not everyone was able to actively find and accomplish their own tasks like Do-wook or other members.
Some people need someone to discover their talent so that it can blossom.
Do-wook recalled himself from the time when he was ‘Kim Bo-myeong’. When he first saw Park Tae-hyung as a trainee, Do-wook thought that Park Tae-hyung was similar to Kim Bo-myeong.
Therefore, someone could criticize Park Tae-hyung for having foolish concerns at a time when he is enjoying the greatest popularity, but not Do-wook.
You will have lost confidence and your self-esteem will have dropped significantly. Although members are like brothers, if there are always people around them who are also compared to each other, it is inevitable that this will happen.
In that situation, Taehyung Park was frustrated, but instead of waiting for someone to discover him, he was struggling to discover it himself and become a better person than yesterday. The videos posted by Taehyung Park showed that.
“I’m still mad that you made us worry.”
“I’m sorry… to you… to my brothers… I didn’t mean to do that…”
“I guess I’m not sorry to Jihoon?”
“Ah…Jihoon too!”
When Park Tae-hyung added as if he had made a mistake, Do-wook shook his head and laughed.
And Do-wook took out a piece of paper that he had neatly folded in his pocket and held it out.
“This…”
“I thought it might be helpful to you.”
Taehyung Park unfolded the folded paper. When I unfolded it, the fairly large piece of paper turned out to be a poster.
《Dancing Dancing! We are recruiting participants for Season 1!》
“Dancing Dancing…?”
Taehyung Park read the contents of the poster.
“Dancing Dancing” was originally a popular audition program in the United States. Along with 〈American Singer〉, it is a program that attracted great attention and popularity. If 〈American Singer〉 was a singing contest, 〈Dancing Dancing〉 was a dance contest.
The format of 〈Dancing Dancing〉 was for dancers of all genres and experience to come out and perform missions. The competition was divided into two teams, and participants were eliminated based on judges’ scores and online live voting.
Because it was a very popular program, the format of
Considering that a program that was launched following the format of “American Singer” was a huge hit and produced popular stars such as Heo Gun, “Dancing Dancing” was also guaranteed some degree of success.
“You are a judge, not a participant.”
“Poem… judge?”
Taehyung Park opened his eyes wide as if he had heard something nonsense.
The judges of “Dancing Dancing” played an important role in addition to judging. He also played a role as a coach during team competitions. It also had a significant influence on the composition of the choreography. There were times when the ranking of performers was determined based on the judges’ capabilities.
“I did that…”
“If I go as a contestant, it’s too obvious that I’ll come in first place.”
Park Tae-hyung shook his head as if it was not true at Do-wook’s words, but Do-wook truly thought so. Park Taehyung was already very talented in dancing since he was a trainee.
In addition, thanks to constant practice after his debut, Taehyung Park’s skills were already among the best in the country.
Taehyung Park thought he was benefiting under the name of K.K. However, due to the wall of being an idol and a team, his skills were undervalued.
Becoming a judge on 〈Dancing Dancing〉 would be an opportunity to publicize not only Taehyung Park’s outstanding skills that were hidden from the public, but also his ability to create choreography that even fans were not aware of.
Dowook looked at Taehyung Park’s expression. He wasn’t sure that the method he came up with would definitely work for Taehyung Park.
“Am I… the judge?”
“huh.”
“Can I do it?”
It was clear that Taehyung Park also wanted to take on the challenge. The sound of the waves hitting the rocks was very powerful.
Dowook nodded.
“of course. “Before I came, I asked team leader Lee Dae-hyung, and he said that if you were to leave, the program would like it and even dance.”
The reason there was no personal invitation to Park Tae-hyung was not because he was unpopular. This was because the current programs were mostly programs that required people to be good at talking.
It’s just that I haven’t had a chance to make myself known yet.
“You just have to decide.”
Taehyung Park slowly nodded at Do-wook’s words.
Dowook seemed to already know Park Taehyung’s decision.
“First, we have to prepare for American broadcasting.”
“Ah oh! huh!”
Taehyung Park changed his determined expression and answered quickly.
“Let’s go up. “Everyone will wait.”
***
American NVC broadcasting station.
The TV show that KK was invited to was none other than ‘Michelle’s Night’.
Michelle was an actress from an NVC drama and was an outstanding actress who swept many awards, but she is currently better known as a talk show host than as an actress.
“Michelle’s Night,” hosted by Michelle, boasted the highest viewer ratings among American talk shows and featured international stars.
Those invited to 〈Michelle’s Night〉 were either stars that everyone would know just by hearing their names, or people who were becoming a hot topic around the world.
And KK was now listed as a guest on ‘Michelle’s Night’.
The number of views of the ‘Continue’ music video on MyTube had already broken all records in Korea. KK’s prestige was rising day by day as she entered the top 10 among the world’s MyTube videos.
It continued to enter the Billboard charts.
As Do-wook completely captivated the continent, which boasts the world’s largest population, through Lovers from Space, the number of KK’s fans grew enormously.
It was not at all strange that she was invited to
Show host Michelle introduced K.K.
“Now, beyond Korea, Japan, China and Asia, to the Middle East and now the United States… Wow, the cheers are already huge. “I don’t think the studio has ever been this hot since I started recording.”
A large number of KK’s American fans were present at the studio. They screamed at Michelle’s every word as they were faced with KK in person.
“Today’s guest is currently the most popular boy band in the world. They say there are aliens among these boys? “Maybe he captured these girls with supernatural powers…”
Michelle, who was joking, smiled and called K.K. as if she could not put it off any longer.
“I am introducing. “K-K!”
Immediately, cheers poured out.
The cheers that filled the studio made the KK members clasp their hands in tension even though they had already finished rehearsals.
The stage was scheduled before moving on to the talk. The prelude to ‘Continue’ was played.
And team leader Lee Dae-hyung, who was waiting for KK’s performance with the staff in front of the stage, was shocked and frozen by the news that the “Michelle’s Night” staff had just delivered.
