When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar - Chapter 32

#32

One more time Ok?! (2)

#One more time, OK?! (2)

It was when Do-wook, who had come down from the performance of Life Song, closed his lips and thought.

“Um… Do-wook… what’s going on?”

Taehyung Park, who was walking down the waiting room hallway together, asked.

This was because Do-wook, who was deep in thought, looked unhappy. Dowook quickly calmed his expression and answered.

“No, just. “Taehyung, are you okay?”

“Me?…… Why me?”

“I mean your body. “I was wondering if I was overdoing it.”

The response to the choreography was so good that people around were asking Taehyung Park to do back tumbling every time there was an introduction stage. Although the proposal was made with the calculation that the follow-up song activity period would be shorter than the title song activity period, Do-wook still worried that Tae-hyung Park may have been forced to do too much.

“ah! I’m fine… Thanks to you, I’m getting a lot of attention and I’m happy…”

Taehyung Park smiled as if he was embarrassed.

No matter how introverted his personality was, Taehyung Park chose to be a singer on a glamorous stage as his career. Celebrities, whether singers or actors, are basically people who have a strong desire to receive attention from others.

‘The same goes for Park Taehyung. thank god.’

Do-wook thought and tapped Tae-hyung Park on the shoulder to encourage him to cheer up.

“Then I’m glad. “If you’re having a hard time, tell me.”

“huh! Dowook, you too.”

Dowook smiled at Taehyung Park’s words.

Then, I got lost in the thought of how I could further promote the follow-up song during the promotional period that only lasted about two weeks.

However, within a few days, Do-wook’s concerns were easily resolved without him having to step forward.

Do-wook, who returned from early morning exercise, found Oh Baek-ho talking on the phone in the living room while everyone was sleeping.

Oh Baek-ho, who hung up the phone, noticed Do-wook, who had just returned, and waved.

“Do-wook, come here.”

“yes?”

“Look at this.”

What Oh Baek-ho showed was a computer monitor screen.

KK’s ‘You’ was proudly ranked number one on the music charts.

I fell asleep early last night, but the song was only ranked 15th before that. Do-wook was surprised and asked Oh Baek-ho.

“What is happening?”

“So, what is all this about…”

Oh Baek-ho muttered, staring into space. Dowook checked the music charts once again. It was clearly number one.

“There has never been a time when the saying, “Whoever will become what will become what will become who will become what will become” resonates more with me than this.”

“Brother Baekho.”

“Look at this first.”

Oh Baek-ho muttered, ‘After all, people have to be born with luck,’ and moved the mouse. When I went into the entertainment news category, the article that appeared most on the main page was about excitement.

‘The nation’s little sister’s excitement, ‘Yuhan Challenge’ appearance, amazing sense of entertainment!’

“Yuhan Challenge” was the unrivaled number one program among entertainment programs. It was about Seolreim appearing as a special guest on yesterday’s broadcast.

“Why is this…”

Even while reading the article, Do-wook could not find any connection between Seolreim’s appearance on Yuhan Challenge and ‘You’ reaching number one on the music charts.

“It seems that Miss Seolreim chose KK as her favorite singer.”

Oh Baek-ho answered, but it was not a sufficient answer. No matter how exciting it was to be known as the nation’s little sister, it was difficult for her music score to improve so much just because she was mentioned as a favorite singer.

Oh Baek-ho smiled at Do-wook, who still had a questioning look on his face, and moved the mouse again.

When I went into the menu where hot videos were collected, the hot videos were listed according to the number of clicks.

Yuhan Challenge’s videos were mostly ranked at the top of the most popular videos.

Among them, the title of the #1 video was ‘(Shock Warning) Yuhan Challenge’s Harmful Idol Dance.’

“This is my first time seeing it too, and I heard it was really funny.”

While explaining, Oh Baek-ho clicked on the video.

When I pressed the play button, Yuhan Challenge members were dancing on a temporary stage set up outdoors, wearing backwards-compatible versions of clothes that were similar to KK’s but had a completely different feel.

The previous situation was as follows.

After learning that Seolreim will be invited as a special guest to a spring picnic-themed broadcast, the Yuhan Challenge members begin preliminary research on Seolreim.

The Yuhan Challenge members who met Seolreim in the waiting room for the song of life bombarded Seolreim with questions, and Seolreim, although embarrassed, answered the questions with good sense. One of the questions was about favorite singers and songs. At that time, what the flutter was talking about was KK.

“Who is KK?”

“Ah, this guy looks ignorant again. Hot these days! “Don’t you know a new idol?”

“It’s not that I’m ignorant, it’s that I’m old. Oh my, the young guy is scolding me for being old….”

“You gave it to me even if you saved Mr. Lame! “I saw that video~!”

There were members who didn’t know KK yet, and there were also members who knew about the KK member who saved the excitement. As they bicker like that, KK’s name is mentioned a few times and ends up on air.

It was actually a big publicity part that I hadn’t even thought of up to that point.

However, in order to surprise and delight Seolreim, the Yuhan Challenge members prepare a song by singer KK, which Seolreim likes.

During the preparation process, the members look into KK’s music and stage. ‘Sorry but I Love You’ was a song that most Yuhan Challenge members had heard of.

“I know this!”

“I know! Friend, I love you~! “Hehe.”

And the next stage video was the ‘You’ stage video.

Na Jae-seok, one of the Yuhan Challenge members who was watching the stage with interest at the well-organized stage composition, shouted.

“Wow~! Let’s do this! this! This is it!”

Na Jae-seok shouted and fired finger guns at the camera here and there. Na Jae-seok was greatly impressed by the shooting and back tumbling part of the chorus choreography of ‘You’.

There were some opposing opinions about Na Jae-seok’s opinion, asking what they should do with this, but the opposing opinions were immediately ignored. They immediately start preparing for the ‘You’ stage.

Immediately after that, the members of Yuhan Challenge are shown standing on a temporary stage with Seolleim, who appeared as a guest in the broadcast that was edited into a hot video, as the only audience member.

The excitement of Yuhan Challenge members’ awkward movements and ridiculous choreography that seemed to have been learned in a hurry from Jeonju was captured on screen.

When the vulgar live performance started, I couldn’t hold back my laughter. However, everyone was approaching the stage with a more ‘stern and serious’ attitude than ever, thinking that it was a stage for excitement.

In fact, that was creating an even more ridiculous situation.

“That weird thing I used to walk with you~!”

During Ahn Hyeong-seo’s high-pitched part, ‘The Road I Walked With You’, the member of Yuhan Challenge who played Ahn Hyeong-seo ended up losing his voice. However, instead of laughing, he kept a shameless expression as if he had sung the best song.

In the broadcast, cross-editing was done to compare the original stage video of KK.

And the highlight part was the chorus.

Everyone shot their guns and looked like they were the best and coolest. Each person was captured in a solo shot, with the caption ‘Handsome’ written in big red letters next to them. It was an image that could be captured and used as a meme here and there.

The Yuhan Challenge member standing in the middle attempted back tumbling, which he had been practicing for several days.

The caption “Failure” appeared along with dozens of skull-shaped symbols.

The image of him falling to the floor without even being able to go halfway backwards was broadcast. However, rather than worrying about the fallen member, the other members were still looking ahead and shooting with their fingers.

The video ended with the excitement of people bursting into laughter and applauding.

Dowook checked the comments under the video. Everyone was having fun and making fun of the Yuhan Challenge members. At the same time, there were also comments from playful KK fans asking to see the original, saying it was too compared to the original.

And in fact, there were a lot of people who wanted to listen to ‘You’, saying they liked the song and that the ‘The Road I Walked With You’ part and chorus were addictive.

Due to such public interest, ‘You’ quickly rose up the rankings and became number one.

“It was a Yuhan Challenge writer who just called.”

“Yuhan Challenge?”

“They asked me to appear on the show as a brief meeting in a broadcasting station waiting room or something.”

Appearing on entertainment shows was the best opportunity for idols to make their names known.

Also, it was not a place where one could appear on public broadcasting’s national entertainment show simply because of popularity. Just appearing once was an opportunity to appear in a place that would have a huge impact in raising awareness.

“It went really well.”

“of course. By the way, this is your first appearance on a variety show, and it was Yuhan Challenge from the beginning. “It’s such a big entertainment show that I don’t know if I can do it well without making mistakes.”

“You will do well. I think the members will like it when they hear it.”

“okay. “I guess so.”

Dowook smiled as if asking him to trust himself and the members. When Oh Baek-ho saw Do-wook’s smile, his anxious feelings disappeared.

‘He’s only 19, but he really makes people feel confident.’

Thinking like that, Oh Baek-ho stood up.

“You must have been sweating after working out, so wash it off quickly. “They held me back so I couldn’t even wash it.”

“no.”

Dowook headed to the bathroom, thinking about the upcoming broadcast and what would unfold.

***

As expected, the KK members were delighted with the news of their appearance on Yuhan Challenge.

In particular, Won Kim was the happiest, saying that he studied his Korean language, which he lacked while studying abroad, by watching Yuhan Challenge, and that it relieved his loneliness whenever he felt lonely among foreign friends.

“I really can’t believe it~! “Unbelievable Man~!”

Kim Won almost hugged Oh Baek-ho and screamed.

“I’m going to listen.”

Oh Baek-ho, who understood Kim Won’s feelings but could not stand the shouting next to his ear, spoke harshly and pulled Kim Won away.

However, Kim Won didn’t care and this time he hugged Jung Yoon-gi and cheered. Jeong Yoon-gi was caught by Kim Won and was looking embarrassed.

Sangam MVC entertainment bureau waiting room.

The members prepared for the filming, looking forward to the upcoming filming with Yuhan Challenge members.

With their hair and makeup done, they were changing one by one into clothes identical to their ‘You’ stage costumes.

As it was the first public broadcast entertainment show, it was planned to wear the same style as the stage costumes, but with costumes that Lucas, who is currently KK’s stylist, put a lot of effort into.

Today too, Lucas prepared a matching denim jacket for Do-wook. The t-shirt worn underneath was a slightly tight white t-shirt, allowing Dowook’s upper body, which had recently improved significantly, to be revealed.

Do-wook, who dressed up first and was waiting for the remaining members, saw Ahn Hyeong-seo and Park Tae-hyung who had returned after getting dressed.

The two people’s outfits seemed ordinary at first glance, but the ‘boyfriend look’ that showed off Lucas’ unique sense was well expressed.

In particular, the yellow T-shirt worn by Ahn Hyeong-seo went well with Ahn Hyeong-seo’s image.

“Brother-seo-hyung, you suit each other well…?!”

Dowook, who was about to praise her for looking good, stopped. Ahn Hyeong-seo was surprised by Do-wook’s distorted expression and asked back.

“What’s wrong, Dowook?”

“Where is Lucas?”

Dowook’s question was urgent.
