The image attached to the clicked article showed Gyenari with a pale, stern expression next to Do-wook, who was giving his first-place acceptance speech.
‘Ah… I guess the surprise at that time hasn’t gone away.’
In fact, some of the singers in the back had dark expressions. KK simply forgot about the previous accident due to the joy of winning first place. Most of them were in the process of calming down their shocked hearts from the previous accident.
The same was true for Kyenari. Since we were falling behind KK in terms of album score, we weren’t really upset that we didn’t get first place.
‘However, those who do not know the situation are unable to connect the stage accident with Gye Nari’s expression and misunderstand Gye Nari, who was the first place candidate… It is perhaps natural.’
Articles about Gye Nari were generally like that. A rebuttal article saying it was a misunderstanding came out from Kyenari’s side, but no one believed it.
Most of those who left negative comments to Gye Nari were also KK’s fans.
‘Hmm…’
After looking at the article a little more, Do-wook entered the fan cafe this time.
Fans of the KK Fan Cafe were still in a festive mood yesterday. From. There were already about 600 comments on the post Ahn Hyeong-seo left in KK’s room last night.
There was also a post that Jung Yoon-gi wrote in the early morning, rhyming as if he were writing rap lyrics. Dowook pressed the write button.
[Title: Dear fans]
.
.
I was very nervous watching MC yesterday, so thank you to senior Seolreim for helping me.
I think the broadcast was able to end more safely thanks to your strength until the end!
The situation on site was very hectic when the 1st place announcement was made, but even so, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to senior Kye Nari who sincerely congratulated us on KK’s 1st place.
Above all, I am always grateful to my fans.
.
.
A few minutes after writing the post, fans started leaving comments. The main content was the confession of love for Do-wook. I think Gye Nari congratulated him from time to time? There were similar comments as well.
Dowook checked the comments and stood up.
At that moment, Baekho Oh was coming out to wake up the members.
“uh? “Is Dowook awake already?”
“yes.”
“Anyway, you are diligent. Go wake up the kids in your room. “I have to wake up the kids in that room first.”
“yes. “Everyone sleeps later than usual, so it’s going to be harder to wake them up.”
“Heh, that’s right.”
There was no music broadcast schedule today, but there was a radio schedule.
***
KK appeared on radio at 2 PM for about 30 minutes.
Each member introduced himself and talked about yesterday’s No. 1 ranking, which is becoming a hot topic. After listening to two songs from KK’s album and a few commercials, 30 minutes flew by.
Just before saying his final goodbyes on the radio, KK heard from the DJ that he had topped the real-time music chart.
In addition to successfully completing one radio schedule, we also received news that it was #1 on the music charts. The KK members could not contain their excitement.
“Wow crazy~!!!”
Kim Won, who came out of the radio booth, shouted. The radio program staff outside the booth burst into laughter. Oh Baek-ho restrained Kim Won.
While two songs were playing in a row, the DJ also came out of the booth to see KK off. It was my first time meeting him and he was happy and he asked me to appear on his radio often in the future.
The writer next to him also came forward and praised KK.
“I was disappointed that the time was so short. “Next time, I will create a corner full time, so please come out.”
Oh Baek-ho said with a business smile, asking for an invitation only. The members also bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude.
“By the way, Dowook? There’s an uproar on the internet right now. “I was also surprised when I saw the video.”
“…yes?”
“huh? Didn’t you know yet? “It just popped up around lunch time.”
When Oh Baek-ho and the other members all made incomprehensible faces, the writer asked back. I ate in the car because I was busy preparing and moving around. It was obvious that I didn’t have time to use the Internet.
This was when the author was going through his phone and trying to show the video.
Oh Baek-ho’s cell phone rang. The sender was Seolreim’s manager. Oh Baek-ho, who was wondering what was going on even though the special MC was over and had no need to contact him anymore, apologized and answered the phone at his seat.
While Oh Baek-ho went out into the hallway to take a phone call, a radio writer showed Do-wook’s video, which was becoming a hot topic on the Internet, on his cell phone.
It was a video containing the scene of a broadcasting accident on the live stage of the song of life that took place yesterday.
The video quality was not clear. It was a video taken with the basic camera of a cell phone. The shaking was severe, perhaps because it was filmed secretly for personal use at a site where personal photography was prohibited.
It was a bit like calling it ‘Do-wook’s video’. The person who filmed and uploaded the video was a fan of Gye Nari. Therefore, the camera’s focus was on Gye Nari. I was at the level of excitement with Dowook, who was standing on the left.
However, even so, the scene where Do-wook grabs Seol-reim’s hand at the moment the stage collapses, and the scene where Seol-reim manages to stabilize herself without falling off the stage with Do-wook’s help, and the expressions on the faces of the singers around her, including Gyenari, who were surprised by this, were clearly captured.
Kyenari’s expression, which had been smiling cheerfully as she greeted the fans under the stage just before, became pale and stiff afterward.
“The accident was almost bigger than I thought, right?”
“Ah… a little.”
Dowook smiled awkwardly and answered the writer’s question. The DJ next to him took his cell phone and played the video again, saying he should watch it properly.
“Oh really. Does it look like the main character in a movie who saves our hearts? love and war?”
“yes?”
“It would be love and soul. And I think you want to talk about bodyguards…”
“That’s right! bodyguard!”
When the DJ, who is famous for making verbal mistakes that show off his ignorance, spoke, the author looked dumbfounded and corrected the content. The KK members were on the verge of bursting into laughter, but they couldn’t bear to laugh at the DJ, who was their senior, so they held back their laughter.
Fortunately, Oh Baek-ho returned after finishing the call.
The KK members said hello to the radio DJ and staff and left the studio.
Oh Baek-ho, who returned to the car, asked what the video the author mentioned earlier was. Jeong Yoon-gi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, explained the video. Oh Baek-ho checked the contents on his cell phone.
Among the messages that Oh Baek-ho had not yet been able to check, there was a link sent by Ahn Young-mi of the rookie development team. When I clicked on the link, a post on the community page that was the original source of the video appeared.
[Title: Kang Do-wook saves the excitement after an accident on a life song broadcast (I’m uploading this because I’m a Gye Nari fan and I’m feeling unfair)] It’s just for the
collection, but I’m uploading it because it’s unfair.
Anyone who was there that day will know.
The floor of the stage almost collapsed, and
Kang Do-wook saved the excitement haha. Let the excited fans bow down to Kang Do-wook. As
you know, the reason for uploading the video is because Nari-noona got criticized.
Is it because she doesn’t look good or is surprised that she didn’t get first
place? Please watch the video and judge for yourself.
There were comments.
It became a gathering place for not only Gye Nari’s fans, but also fans of Seolreim and KK, as well as fans of all the cast members who appeared on Song of Life.
Criticism poured in towards the Life Song team for not setting up the stage properly. There was even talk that it was insensitivity to safety. The loudest complaint from Seolleim’s fans was what would have happened if Seolreim had fallen like that and gotten hurt.
There were many comments saying that Gye Nari was the only one who was misunderstood. It was a rewarding part for the author to write about.
And praise poured in on Do-wook for responding quickly and well. Among the comments, there was also a screenshot of a fan cafe post written by Dowook in the morning.
And there were a lot of posts in the community with Do-wook’s name as the title.
The article attached to the video, in which only the part where Do-wook intercepts his hand and pulls the excitement, was created as a moving meme in GIF format and was the second most popular after the video article.
There are even reactions like, ‘His body movements are unusual. It’s a bit weird to say this at the scene of an accident, but I’m so excited, I’m so excited, I’m so excited, he’s a complete man!’ It was a warm response in many ways.
“Gentleman baby~!”
Kim Won, who was reading the article together from the back seat, shouted.
When I went to the portal site and checked the articles, there were articles about the life song broadcast accident and Do-wook. Additionally, there were many positive stories about KK.
‘It wasn’t my intention to get this far, but as of now, I’ve done a good job of focusing on the issue and the image is good. I hope it continues like this….’
Do-wook thought while looking at the article.
Life Song’s side had already distributed a press release saying they would take responsibility for their negligence and once again apologized to Seolleim and all cast members.
The production team of Life Song was trying to somehow make the accident issue pass quickly. Therefore, we did not raise any issues or raise any issues with the person who uploaded the video. I don’t want to create unnecessary noise. It was a fortunate thing.
“These days, they say we know everything at the time because we use the internet on our cell phones, but we found out too late…”
Ahn Hyeong-seo muttered as if he wanted Oh Baek-ho to hear, but Oh Baek-ho didn’t even pretend to listen and started the car.
“brother! Are you listening?! “Are you listening?”
“Hyungseo Ahn. “Are you being picky?”
Ahn Hyeong-seo, who was noisy, kept his mouth shut at Oh Baek-ho’s words. Ahn Hyeong-seo had become much more comfortable and started joking around, but he was still shocked when Oh Baek-ho even frowned.
“Ah, Dowook. “While you’re on your phone, please call the Seolreim manager on your call list.”
“Phone?”
“Yes, Ms. Seolleim said she was so surprised that day that she didn’t even get to say hello properly, so she wanted to say hello to you properly.”
“I don’t have to…”
“Because I also have a grateful heart. “Make a phone call.”
Dowook nodded and pressed the call button.
“You’re calling me?!”
Ahn Hyeong-seo’s face turned red with embarrassment, even though he wasn’t talking on the phone with Seolreim.
“how. Please change me too. “Let me ask how you are too.”
Oh Baek-ho once again struck down Ahn Hyeong-seo, who was making a fuss.
“You’re being rude to your brother.”
“Ah… the excitement and direct phone call…”
However, contrary to Ahn Hyeong-seo’s fuss and expectations, the phone call ended coldly with only one or two words being exchanged: “Thank you and it’s okay.” .

The members returned to the Hit Entertainment headquarters and started practicing again.
There was a cable music broadcast tomorrow, and they were once again nominated for first place in Life Song.
Sales of albums ranked No. 1 on real-time music charts were rising every day, and the number of fan cafe members was also increasing by 1,000 per day. This meant that there would be no problem with internet voting or live text voting.
If things continue like this, the song of life has won first place for two weeks in a row. But that didn’t mean I could neglect practice.
It is true that until this week, there was no major singer capable of taking first place. However, next week was the week of the comeback of a mid-sized female singer who is said to be an absolute powerhouse in music.
Just being in first place for two weeks in a row was a big dream come true for a rookie who had just debuted, but he couldn’t rest on his laurels.
Oh Baek-ho gathered the members who were practicing and sweating even after finishing their radio schedule.
