Prince From Another Dimension Becomes An Idol [EN]: Chapter 178

#178.

The moment Gyu-sung stopped and started singing, the members moved.

They shrugged their shoulders to the cheerful rhythm, moving as if approaching Gyu-sung, who was standing on the far right.

“Kyaa―!!!”

“Aaaaaaack!”

“Oppa!”

“MOST! MOST!”

With a voice as refreshing as goosebumps rising, and the members’ perfectly synchronized dance moves, a huge roar erupted, threatening to tear the hall apart.

The formation changed, and the members drew a V-shape around Do-jae, retreating backward.

―Shall I speak?

Do-jae, standing in the center, moved to the rhythm, continuing Gyu-sung’s intro.

The firm and sweet voice captivated everyone’s ears with just a few words.

―When the fifth season comes, what shall we do?

There weren’t any special moves, just riding the rhythm, but there was a power that drew attention.

It was thanks to the flowing white suit that clearly revealed Do-jae’s long and slender body line.

―Let’s turn over all the dark pages

“Kyaaaaaaack!”

“Mom!”

The skillful wave he showed while finishing his part made everyone’s mouths drop open.

As he waved, the suit jacket fluttered, revealing his chest through the unbuttoned shirt.

Even though it wasn’t a severe exposure, it gave off a very ‘sexy’ feeling.

Do-jae, having finished his part with a relaxed expression, winked at the camera that was lit up.

“Ack!”

The handsomeness of Do-jae’s face, filling the screen in a close-up, was out of this world.

Do-jae’s fans felt a new thrill at Do-jae’s face with his new style.

Today, Do-jae had his chestnut brown hair styled in a comma hairstyle, a so-called ‘ban-ggan’ [a half-up hairstyle that resembles a comma].

It was a soft yet mature feeling.

In addition, a large earring on only one ear added to the elegance.

“To think that suits him so well……”

The earring that Do-jae wore was a bold, drop-type earring that was more often used for women, so those kinds of sounds came out naturally.

At first glance, it was enough to steal all the attention, but it suited Do-jae’s face more than imaginable.

It was a perfect match with Do-jae’s neat yet, at times, sharp face depending on the angle.

The stylists, who decided to give strength to the accessories as the outfit was matched with a simple white suit and shirt, shouted “Nice” while looking at Do-jae’s face captured on the screen.

The member following Do-jae was Louis.

―You know this

Louis, who dyed his hair in a color that revealed purple depending on the light, wasn’t even wearing any special accessories.

Instead, the color of the colored lenses that Louis wore was two colors.

The mysterious odd-eye was a concept that only Louis could pull off ‘perfectly,’ just like Do-jae.

―A story of snow falling in midsummer

Gijun and Heungmin put their hands on Louis’s shoulders on either side and moved as one.

Louis naturally looked at the two and smiled, and the sight was refreshing.

―No one’s here

Woochul sang as if rapping, crossing the stage from end to end.

Woochul, who dyed his hair a slightly lighter brown than Do-jae, had his hair cut much shorter than usual.

Woochul was awkward, but his long neckline and distinct features were revealed, making him look much more handsome.

―Only us here now

The members, standing in a line again, drew stars with their feet, moving dazzlingly.

Even though there were many foot movements, the teamwork was so good that it felt clean.

Soon, Do-jae grabbed the microphone again and sang his part.

―Sing a song, diving into that eternity

In the meantime, the members changed formation.

While the members surrounding Gyu-sung and Do-jae were dancing one step behind, Gyu-sung raised his voice.

―Life goes beautiful,

beautiful-! beautiful-!

The voice laid on the AR [All Recorded audio track, a pre-recorded vocal track] and Gyu-sung’s voice harmonized and echoed.

To be honest, Gyu-sung’s health wasn’t 100% recovered.

But very fortunately, his body and voice had recovered to about 80%.

To fill the missing 20%, MOST had more vocals laid on the AR than usual, but…….

Gyu-sung was just grateful and thankful that he could make his voice on the comeback stage.

Just three days ago, he wasn’t in a state to be on stage at all.

The fact that he had recovered this much was thanks to the members’ consideration in many ways to ease Gyu-sung’s burden.

Gyu-sung was singing even harder with a grateful heart, so as not to be a burden to the members.

Was it because he felt like he had taken off a heavy sandbag?

Even though his condition wasn’t perfect, it felt like he was singing better.

“Wow……”

“They’re really good.”

Even the fans of other singers in the audience were captivated by Gyu-sung’s voice.

Although they had added more vocals to the AR, it was at a similar level to ordinary dance singers, so the audience was satisfied enough.

“The song is so good, too?”

“Amazing.”

“MOST fans are so lucky.”

The stable choreography that showed they had practiced countless times.

The singing ability that was unbelievable as a live performance.

The visuals that you couldn’t take your eyes off of.

Everything was shining on MOST’s stage, but above all, the song was really good.

It was so exciting and good that you would say ‘Oh!’ as soon as you heard it.

It was a melody that was good to listen to not only in the summer like now but also in all seasons, and the lyrics were so bright.

It made you think that there was a reason why it went to number one on the music charts as soon as it entered.

The audience continued to watch MOST’s stage with their mouths open, feeling a sense of satisfaction and unavoidable envy at the same time.

The members were spreading their wings like butterflies, simultaneously reaching out their arms and jumping up, then landing as if sliding.

It was a powerful yet beautiful body movement.

―You, like butterfly,

butterfly!

Following Gyu-sung, Do-jae passionately sang the chorus.

Do-jae’s voice when pronouncing the English lyrics was even softer, as if it would melt right away.

The following ad-lib section was smooth enough to remind you of an R&B singer.

―I’m happy in that smile.

The last lyrics that Do-jae sang felt like a magic spell to the audience along with Do-jae’s deep smile.

It was really a stage that made you feel happy.

“I’m happy!!!”

“I’m happy―!!!”

The fans also sang the lyrics that they were happy in unison, according to the cheering method.

Although it looked easy, ‘s choreography had quite a lot of activity.

Natural smiles appeared on the members’ faces as sweat began to drip down.

In the following interlude part, the members moved even more fiercely, without sparing their bodies.

Following the choreography of powerfully extending their arms and legs, they all jumped together and leaped into the air.

The camera captured the members from above as they quickly made hand movements and landed simultaneously.

When the stage was captured from above, it looked like the members were spread out like flower petals.

“Kyaaaaaaack!”

When the interlude ended, it was Heungmin’s rap part.

―Our ending is happily ever after, it’s okay even if it’s cliché, the sky is blue, the clouds are white

Heungmin shook his fingers and stirred up the stage.

The staff members who were waiting below the stage widened their eyes and whispered to each other as Heungmin’s upper body, which was visible when he slightly flipped his jacket behind his shoulders, caught the fans’ eyes.

“Wow…. I thought they were just kids, but they’re not.”

“They’re so sexy.”

There was a surge of people harboring ‘ulterior motives’ towards Heungmin, who was rapping with a slight frown.

Of course, Louis’s pure smile that followed made those people feel guilty.

―I said there is a light that doesn’t disappear, that light is me and you

If Louis added a refreshing vitality to the song, Gijun, Heungmin, and Woochul’s voices in the middle added a proper sense of weight.

The harmony created by Gyu-sung and Do-jae’s vocals, which were repeated in the chorus, made you naturally think of the word ‘art’.

It was a song that was easy to listen to and fun without being boring.

The audience was getting hotter and hotter on the stage that was filled without being excessive or lacking.

“Kyaaaaaaack!”

“MOST!”

“BEAUTIFLY!”

“MOST!”

“BEAUTIFLY!”

The members unleashed their energy to their heart’s content, without holding back, to those who were shining their eyes and cheering for them.

―Our time is a merry-go-round, forget the roller coaster and keep spinning, it’s okay even if we’re trapped in this time!

Gijun’s rap echoed, and the stage reached its end.

―We are in love

Woochul finished the stage in a whispering voice.

The camera zoomed in on the faces of the members, one by one, who started with Woochul and stopped in their respective positions.

“Kyaaaaaaack-!”

“Waa!”

“I love you, Kang Do-jae!!!”

The song went off, and in the brief moment before the members moved.

A husky voice boomed in.

A burst of laughter appeared on Do-jae’s face, who was facing the camera head-on, at the voice of an overly energetic male fan.

It was the birth of a moment that would remain as ‘a magical ending shot that makes you laugh together no matter what.gif’.

“That was really amazing.”

“It was awesome until the end.”

“Did you see him smile? I almost fell for him.”

“Ah…. If you’re falling for Kang Do-jae, I acknowledge that.”

Dorm in the filming site of .

The participants who wanted to watch TV during their free time, which was only about an hour a day, gathered in the audiovisual room.

Just last week, there were about ten people gathered at this time, but today the number was twice as many.

The reason why more than half of the 51 participants who survived the survival were gathered in front of the TV was, of course, because of MOST’s comeback stage.

As they were people who wanted to become idols, they were also very interested in idols.

There were many people who liked HOH, Big Boyz, and Infinite Boys, but recently, the hottest group among aspiring singers was MOST.

Popularity was popularity, but MOST wasn’t just popular.

Their skills and dramatic moves, everything stimulated the aspiring singers.

“Is it because it’s a song he got from Periot? It’s really good.”

“Does just the song being good make them like that? The people doing it have to be good.”

“I know…. How can they do the stage so well without missing a single person?”

“The song skills, wow……”

“I don’t think I can cover that song. It’s too difficult. Can Lina from class A do it?”

“First of all, you’re in class D, so you can’t.”

“Look at your personality.”

“Ah, I was unconditionally a fan, but now I have to switch to .”

“What did you say, hyung [older brother or male friend]! Are you a traitor?”

The participants who watched MOST’s stage were excitedly talking to each other.

In particular, the side that was talking excitedly was a group that was no different from MOST’s fans, and they were quite excited even though they weren’t the ones who performed on stage.

“…….”

And among them, there was someone who was quiet even after watching the stage.

It was Hee-min.

Some of the participants who were talking about MOST glanced at Hee-min.

Hee-min, who was in shock, got up from his seat, feeling like he wanted to hide.

To proudly say that he was a former member of MOST…….

The difference between MOST and himself, a former member of MOST, was too clear.

How could he have thought that he could stand on the same line as the members who had been shedding sweat and tears while he was playing in the United States?

It was so foolish.

It’s been several weeks already.

Hee-min was experiencing that fact while filming .

And today’s stage was an event that put a wedge in that fact.

He can’t follow them no matter what.

He realized too late to even regret it.

What caught Hee-min’s ankle was unexpected news.
