When I Opened My Eyes I Was a Superstar - Chapter 82

# 82

Run towards the future (3)

***

The cast members’ faces are shocked when it is revealed that the spy was Taehyung Park.

And how Taehyung Park fired a water gun without the other contestants knowing, and how he moved quietly and pretended not to notice. A video showing Park Tae-hyung in action was edited and broadcast.

After the broadcast aired, a hot topic arose among ‘Running Man’ viewers.

‘Running Man’ was a program with as many loyal fans as ‘Yuhan Challenge’.

Moreover, as the characters among the members were established, there was antipathy among regular fans towards guests who were invited under the pretext of some special feature.

Due to the nature of the missions carried out in Darlaman, if the guest that day did not understand the game well or showed an inability to adapt, the fun would definitely be halved.

Before this campus special KK episode aired, all reactions from regular fans were negative.

The only people waiting for the appearance were KK’s fans.

Meanwhile, even among KK fans, ‘Running Man’ was not a program that was welcomed by Lee Baek Pro.

Of course, most fans were excited as they realized that KK’s popularity had increased by appearing on a public broadcast entertainment show, but if it was the only public broadcast entertainment show, there were many more who wanted him to become a different professional.

In the case of Darlaman, it was difficult to appeal the individual charms of the members, and if they were not good at the game, they would only get criticized and were not professionals who would be of much help as idols.

However, once the broadcast aired, the situation changed.

-Invite KK again hahahahaha

-Where are the hyungs who opposed the appearance because they said he was an idol again? haha

-It was a truly Darlaman-like episode! Running like a dog hahaha

– I feel like I need to help the cameramen… they ran so hard – they turned the current generation upside down

– Taehyung Park was so quiet that I didn’t even know who he was, but being quiet helps like that again zz

– Spy… I’m so tired of not even thinking about it… Didn’t you receive separate training?

-What is it, is it real that our Dongguk hyung and Kang Do-wook faced each other? True true?

-Even Kang Do

-wook is superior -It’s good to be young…

-Doukmari toilet paper group? Are those people just wiping Kang Do-wook’s tears? What are you doing? Kang Do-wook looks like he needs to wipe off his sweat. All of his makeup has been removed

– It’s nice to see KK working hard~

– Look at everyone sweating… Only Seok Ji-hoon… haha Thames Bond is crueler to the same member

– Thames Bond haha Hahahahaha

– This was the best squirt gun ever

– I saw that Kim Won was good at archery, so it would have been nice if Kim Won was a spy

– I made a Thames Bond composite!

– Awesome hahaha

– Water gun detail hahaha

– Park Tae-hyung will appear in the next 007 season?? Haha ??

The viewer bulletin board was full of praise for KK.

It was evident that all KK members did their best to be professional. Perhaps thanks to the efforts of the members, the fans who ran were also very satisfied. There were even repeated requests to appear on the show one more time.

In the case of Park Tae-hyung, he even earned the nickname ‘Tame’s Bond’.

In addition to the poster composition, the edited video of Park Tae-hyung’s activities was shared through MyTube, making Park Tae-hyung’s sense of humor known even to those who were not just viewers.

In addition, the image of Do-wook competing with Kim Dong-guk also went around and caused a stir.

Fans could not hide their pride at KK’s successful entry into entertainment.

Moreover, the response to the ‘Howl’ stage got even better as it fit well with the ‘Howl’ concept of showing off masculine beauty.

It also continued with the image of being good at sports that was briefly shown during the Idol Olympics. Nicknames such as sports idol and running idol were added.

Because the response was so good, more invitations to appear in other entertainment shows came in, and Hit Entertainment had a hard time rejecting the show.

This was because there were schedules that could not be postponed.

“Taebon! “What are you doing?”

“uh? Uh oh. “We were monitoring our stage.”

Taehyung Park responded to Hyungseo Ahn’s call by taking the earphone out of one ear.

After Taehyung Park became a hot topic with Thames Bond, his nickname among the members became ‘Taebon’.

It was also an abbreviation for Thames Bond, and it also evoked the feeling of being a ‘head of department.’

Park Tae-hyung was just confused when he heard that he was the head of the entertainment department because he went on a variety show and became a trend.

“brother. “Don’t call me that.”

“Why why! “Didn’t you see that edited video too?!”

Park Tae-hyung could not answer anything when Ahn Hyeong-seo asked him a question.

It was true that Taehyung Park also felt proud while watching those videos. I had no idea it would become such a hot topic.

“Anyway, I’m worried about China.”

Hyungseo Ahn sat next to Taehyung Park and said.

The KK members were currently in the airport lounge ahead of their departure from Beijing, China.

Even at the airport, fans flocked to take pictures of the KK members, so many pictures were taken, so they were quite tired even before leaving the country.

The members gave up shopping at the duty-free shop and went to the lounge to rest because of the fans who followed them and said they would take the same flight.

“It’s my first time in China too…”

“I went on a family trip when I was young, but I had a hard time because the food wasn’t right for my taste.”

Park Tae-hyung looked worried at Ahn Hyeong-seo’s words.

“Are you okay, bro?”

“I brought a lot of red pepper paste and ramen. “I also told Cheolmin.”

Taehyung Park nodded at those words.

KK’s schedule in Beijing, which had never been abroad except for Japan, was a 5-night, 6-day schedule.

For nearly a week, KK has been busy in Beijing and other places. First of all, as soon as we arrived, there was a press conference and a showcase for the ‘Howl’ album.

I also got to perform on stage at a city festival held in Beijing.

In addition to being interviewed by a local magazine, he was also scheduled to appear on a TV entertainment program. It was a program that introduced K-POP stars.

These were schedules that we had been planning step by step since preparing to release the Chinese version of the album.

However, with the response coming from the local community, it seemed clear that this was an opportunity to gain momentum and increase popularity.

In fact, compared to the quick response, there was a feeling that it was delayed a bit due to activities in Korea.

“I know no more Chinese than Japanese. “I need to study.”

Ahn Hyeong-seo now opened the Chinese conversation book in a hurry.

As Ahn Hyeong-seo, who was next to him, said, Park Tae-hyung also felt anxious and took out the paper containing the comments prepared by Do Ra-hee, assistant manager of the fan-marketing team.

I had already seen it several times and the paper was crumpled.

On the other hand, Jung Yoongi, who had to say the most, was once again wrestling with his head.

Do-wook, who was quietly using his cell phone across from Ahn Hyeong-seo and Park Tae-hyung, said.

“Hyungseo, before we leave, let’s all take a picture and upload it to our Abo account.”

“uh? It’s good.”

Ahn Hyeong-seo has been one of the members who has consistently and actively used SNS accounts from the beginning. He was the member who had the most fun communicating with fans through his SNS account.

“But why suddenly?”

“I didn’t know, but Avo has over a million followers.”

Dowook muttered, unable to shake off his dazed feeling.

Avo was a social media account mainly used by Chinese people in China.

Because it was less convenient than MyNotes, the Aivo account was managed periodically by the fan-marketing team rather than directly managed by KK members.

Nevertheless, it had over a million followers.

“what? “One hundred… one million?”

“yes. “A million.”

It was a huge number. Dowook once again thought about China’s population.

“Uh oh. Let’s take a picture later. “If I take a picture and send it to you, Assistant Manager, you will upload it, right?”

“I think so.”

Do-wook answered Ahn Hyeong-seo’s question.

Director Oh Baek-ho, who was next to Do-wook, said as if he just remembered something.

“It’s amazing that you guys surpassed the million mark, but your popularity in Hajdu is no joke.”

The eyes of Do-wook, Ahn Hyeong-seo, and Park Tae-hyung shone.

Haidu was the largest portal site in China. Search rankings on Haidu also indicate popularity rankings.

“I heard you’re one of the top five Korean celebrities?”

“Really?”

Taehyung Park opened his mouth and asked back.

The number of views of the Chinese version of the music video was also increasing exponentially.

KK’s recent actions were truly a series of surprises. At one point it wasn’t surprising, but recently the scale has grown even more.

‘It was a good choice to release an album targeting China at the right time.’

Do-wook thought about the Chinese market, which will continue to grow in the future.

Currently, China is in a situation where it lacks content to invest capital compared to its huge capital.

It would take quite some time for singers as good as the current Korean idols to emerge in their country. The plan was to take advantage of the opportunity until then to dominate the market.

‘Let’s go and show the stage properly.’

As Dowook thought about it, he solidified his plan to use the Chinese market as a stepping stone to raise capital to one day launch Ara Entertainment.

Beijing Airport Arrival Hall.

At the airport, as expected, there were many Chinese fans waiting for KK. Each member held up a placard cheering for them and started shouting out the members’ names.

Although ‘Run Man’ was not officially exported, its popularity in China, where it spread through the Internet, was already enormous.

There was also a fan who brought out a printed ‘Tame’s Bond’ poster that was a composite of Park Tae-hyung and the 007 poster.

Ahn Hyeong-seo and Seok Ji-hoon, who discovered the poster, pointed at the poster and laughed for a moment.

As the KK members began to move, Chinese fans outside the guard line began to pour in without mercy.

Even though there were a significant number of personnel deployed from the public security, it was not enough.

KK also had hired a security team in China. We were on our way out of the airport, closely following each member and giving special marks.

It was chaos. It was clear that the chaos I experienced when leaving Incheon Airport was not chaos at all.

The members, caught between people, were slowly taking steps forward even in a suffocating situation.

A woman’s ear-piercing scream was heard.

It was a different sound than the sound made when calling the members.

“Illness!!! (It hurts)”

“Bringing people together! (There is someone injured here)”

It was an uproar.

The members’ movements stopped temporarily.

The woman was sitting collapsed on the floor. Meanwhile, the woman’s body was shaking due to the people pushing her.

A deep male voice poured out towards the woman. It seemed like he was swearing, but it was a voice that the KK members could not understand.

“Uh… how.”

Taehyung Park muttered in a worried tone.

Baekho Oh, who was standing in the front, pulled Taehyung Park, who was right behind him. For now, I just meant to not worry and come quickly.

However, it seemed clear that the private security called by KK had caused the woman to fall like that. Regardless of where the primary responsibility lies, it was not a pretty sight. It could have led to a serious accident.

It was time for Dowook to look back again.
