After the crackling screen, pot! Kim Won appears with a sound effect. I have just taken a shower and come out of the bathroom. I dry my hair and hum a song.
“La la la la la la la la sst daensuu!”
Even when I entered the room, I was humming the song ‘LAST DANCE’.
He approaches the camera on the desk in his room and says hello.
“Ladies and Gentlemen! My name is Won Kim. Good morning~ Good morning~! Did you see the teaser released yesterday? We only got to this part, right? “I’ll sing more!”
At that time, Taehyung Park, who was sleeping, woke up wriggled.
“brother?! No… no…”
“I have a firm determination to prevent spoilers even in my sleep! Good morning Taehyung~!”
Kim Won took off the camera, held it in his hand, and walked closer to Park Taehyung. I caught a glimpse of Park Taehyung, who had just woken up and was rubbing his sleepy eyes.
“Boy~! Way cup way cup~!”
“I woke up…”
“This is my roommate Taehyung. “It’s my first time seeing you this close… It’s cute.”
Taehyung Park, who came to his senses and realized his swollen face, tried to cover himself with the blanket, but it was already too late. Won Kim zoomed the camera up to Taehyung Park’s cheek.
“Oh Taehyung, do you have a mole on your cheek?”
“yes? “Yes… bro, I didn’t even wash my face…”
Kim Won’s camera persistently followed Park Tae-hyung, who was trying to avoid the camera.
“There are one, two, three… seven small dots that are hard to see just by looking at them.”
“One…seven?”
“uh. Viewers, take a good look. “This is the sign Cancer on Taehyung’s cheek.”
Won Kim often observed things in a different way than the way other people thought. If you fall into your own world, there is no use in trying to stop anyone.
Taehyung Park gave up trying to avoid Won Kim and just handed the ball to the camera.
“If you really connect the dots, the shape is Cancer! amazing.”
“I didn’t know…”
“The crab that Hercules stepped on is now on Taehyung’s cheek. The Presepe Open Cluster is supposed to be in the square created by connecting the four points here, right? “This is a star cluster discovered by Galileo Galilei.”
Taehyung Park was dazed, as if he was about to fall asleep again.
‘What is a star cluster…’
As Kim Won’s constellation lecture began, Park Taehyung thought blankly.
As if reading Taehyung Park’s thoughts, Won Kim began to explain the cluster.
In response to Kim Won’s lengthy explanation, the screen fast-forwarded and crackled again with the subtitle, ‘Kim Won’s lecture began that early in the morning…’
After the crackling screen! This time, Seok Ji-hoon appears, showing his face directly to the camera, along with a sound effect.
“hello everyone.”
Seok Ji-hoon, who greeted the camera politely, frowned when he finished.
“Hyungseo finally left the room.”
Seok Ji-hoon took off the fixed camera and scanned the room in his hand, alternately focusing on Ahn Hyeong-seo’s bed and his own bed.
“This is Hyungseo, this is my bed. “I…”
Seok Ji-hoon was speechless for a moment.
“I can’t stand it.”
After fixing the camera again, Seok Ji-hoon opened the window and started cleaning the room.
The image of Seok Ji-hoon, moving quickly, throwing away the trash and sweeping and wiping the room, quickly appeared.
Seok Ji-hoon spread the blanket on the bed without a single wrinkle, like hotel bedding, and placed the pillow neatly in the center.
For a man, there were a lot of cosmetics on Seok Ji-hoon’s dressing table.
“Many of my fans ask me about the secret to my clear skin, and the secret is that it comes naturally.”
Silence for a moment.
“These are the cosmetics I use. This is a skin. After applying toner, apply a little lotion and finish with moisturizing cream. It’s like that in the morning… but the night is important. I apply skin lotion essence at night. Because I have sensitive skin, I use natural cosmetics. And every day! Do a mask pack. “It’s not here, I put it in the refrigerator.”
Seok Ji-hoon explained as the camera captured the cosmetics lined up in a row at an appropriate angle.
“uh? “Why did it become like this? Wait a minute.”
Then, when he noticed that one of the perfume bottles was crooked, Seok Ji-hoon put down the camera for a moment and carefully adjusted the position of the perfume bottle.
As I was adjusting the location, I saw some things that had accumulated some dust. Seok Ji-hoon took out a feather-like duster from a drawer and began to shake off the dust.
The screen moved to the back of Seok Ji-hoon, who had lost his mind in cleaning, with a crackling sound effect.

When KK Broadcast aired on the airwaves, the reaction from fans was significant.
It was a broadcast in which each member’s individuality was clearly revealed, to the extent that each member had dozens of nicknames a day whenever the show aired.
Producer Shin Yun-ho added several subtopics within one episode and edited them to a point where each subtopic did not exceed 10 minutes.
Parts that could be boring were boldly edited, and even non-fans were able to focus on the screen without feeling bored, as the screens changed quickly.
There were no unnecessary exaggerations and no forced mission games. It was a broadcast that collected only the scenes that people really wanted to know about idols, such as practice or life in the dorm.
Thanks to this, KK Broadcasting’s viewership rating exceeded 2%. It had the highest viewership ratings ever for a cable idol reality show.
As the series progressed, the number of advertising sponsorships targeting teenagers increased. In particular, as the cosmetics introduced by Seok Ji-hoon spread word of mouth among fans, many PPLs came in.
The scale of support for the comeback stage on music broadcasts, which PD Shin Yun-ho initially promised, was also scheduled to increase. The broadcasting company was even considering setting up a special outdoor stage to commemorate the comeback.
It was becoming a win-win broadcast for both TBN and KK.

The music video for ‘LAST DANCE’ has been released.
The music release time was an hour later, at 6 PM.
As soon as the music video was released, articles related to the music video began popping up along with screen capture images.
Although the articles were based on press releases sent in advance by Hit Entertainment, there were many articles with personal opinions added.
The reviews were all positive.
By successfully directing Gyenari’s music video and KK’s music video, director Jinyoung has fully established himself as a music video director.
The edited music video was perfect in both singing and acting.
The comments were full of people saying that the song was good and praising Dowook’s acting.
-The song is so good
-I can listen to it with confidence~ I can listen to it with confidence~ K.K.~ -Composed
by Brave Only Child? Kang Do-wook?
-Co-composed ㅇㅇ
-Kang Do-wook is such a fraud hahaha
his acting is really good -Do-wook shed tears.. my sister’s heart breaks and cries after seeing it… tears are overflowing like the water of the Daedong River… Do-wook, you bastards who cried… your sister is going to kill you. ..What are you doing, police officers? Don’t catch those violent criminals… -If
you’re going to kill them, then you’re guilty of murder haha. It looks like you’ll be caught first;;
– National Treasure No. 77777 Kang Do-wook
– KK is the bestㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Let’s make it a big hit KK^^~!!!
-The chorus that appeared in the teaser has already been engraved in my eardrums. I hope it is designated as a song banned for the CSAT
in advance. On the other hand, there was also an opinion that it seemed a little darker than the previous KK song. It was a song with an exciting atmosphere that made one’s body shake spontaneously due to the fast beat, but the melody on the base was definitely lyrical.
However, Dowook thought that the parts that were not as bright would be more effective for the public.
In Korea, ballad music is as loved as dance music. There was something called Korean sentiment. I was confident that we would fit in well emotionally.
And the moment ‘LAST DANCE’ was posted on the music charts, ranking first in the entry rankings, Dowook confirmed that his thoughts were correct.
“Producer, you are number one.”
Yong Soo-cheol, who was sitting leaning on a chair and shaking his legs, looked up at Do-wook’s words.
I might get to work with springs again, but that was in the distant future, and I don’t know when that would happen. Yong-soo also had a premonition of that much.
The two took time out to have dinner at a luxury restaurant ahead of the release of ‘LAST DANCE’, the last song they worked on together.
It was because of Yong Soo-cheol’s suggestion that he specifically want to buy dinner.
I was leaving to take on a new challenge, but of course I would feel regretful. Understanding Yong Soo-cheol’s feelings, Do-wook accepted Yong Soo-cheol’s dinner offer even though he was busy preparing for tomorrow’s comeback stage.
By the time we finished eating, an hour had passed since the release of the song, and it was time for the entry rankings to be announced.
While waiting for the coffee to be served for dessert, Yong Soo-cheol was replacing his nervousness by shaking his legs.
Every time an album was released, producer Yong Soo-cheol was as anxious as the KK members.
“Ha… that’s a good thing.”
“yes. Thank you PD. “It’s thanks to PD.”
“no. I should be thankful. “It is the kind of beauty that I achieved thanks to Do-wook.”
The waiter placed warm coffee and green tea in front of Yong Soo-cheol and Do-wook, respectively.
Then, as if waiting for the meal to be over, he hesitated and took out the paper and pen he had put in his apron pocket.
“I… KK member Kang Do-wook… right? “Just one autograph…”
If it had just been Do-wook, I would have felt a little more at ease, but the spring in front looked so dangerous that the waiter’s voice trembled. Yong Soo-cheol’s expression hardened as he felt like his conversation was being interrupted, making him look even more scared.
“yes. “Please give me a pen.”
Dowook smiled, as if it were his ingrained manners, opened the pen cap, and signed on the paper without hesitation.
I was used to it because I was often asked for autographs or photos wherever I went. Photo requests are generally declined depending on the situation, but autographs are usually provided everywhere.
“Thank you thank you. “I’m a real fan!”
The employee stepped back, holding Do-wook’s autograph paper and saying thank you several times.
Looking at the employee like that, Dowook smiled until the end.
“You really are a professional now.”
“Haha, of course.”
“Do-wook. I am truly grateful for this time. Even if I leave the company’s studio, it would be nice to keep in touch and see you often…”
“Of course, PD! I also wouldn’t have been able to compose to this extent without you. That’s why I’m worried.”
Do-wook revealed his honest feelings in response to Yong Soo-cheol’s words.
Dowook’s firm belief was that the strategies designed to make KK a big hit worked well because they all had good songs.
‘If you are a singer, you cannot achieve complete success without good songs, even if you may be briefly popular.’
Therefore, Do-wook had many thoughts about filling the void left by Yong Soo-cheol, who had shown outstanding ability not only in writing lyrics but also in producing.
There were a few producers selected by the company, but they were either slightly less capable or people who could cause problems later on.
“I’m more worried about it. KK has nothing to worry about.”
“Well…”
“If the next album producer hasn’t been decided yet, there’s someone I’d like to recommend.”
Yong-seom-cheol picked up his coffee cup and took a sip of the coffee. It was an ordinary coffee cup, but when held in the hand by a spring, it looked as small as a miniature.
Dowook asked, his eyes shining.
“Who is that?”
