#184.
Assistant Instructor Jung was a graduate student.
A graduate student who had to cancel his Jjambong [spicy noodle soup] order if the professor wanted Jjajangmyeon [black bean noodles], find an elephant if told to put one in the refrigerator, and pretend to be dead if told to die… That was Assistant Instructor Jung.
But even Assistant Instructor Jung had no way to contact a popular idol.
“I could contact their agency, but… I don’t think they’ll reply……”
Assistant Instructor Jung quickly mobilized all the acquaintances in his head and his acquaintances’ acquaintances, but soon lowered his head.
“Ah…. I’m sorry, Professor.”
Assistant Instructor Jung couldn’t help but regret showing this video to Professor Kim Ye-in in a moment of excitement.
Before he knew it, the video was automatically playing the next recommended video, and MOST’s “Beautiful Fly” music video was playing.
“Hmm…….”
Professor Kim Ye-in sighed, looking at the monitor as if deep in thought.
Assistant Instructor Jung looked at Professor Kim Ye-in with trembling eyes.
Even though Professor Kim Ye-in was considered the most ‘sensible’ among the professors, he never knew when and how a strange spark might fly.
Like telling him not to just say no, but to try to contact them somehow…….
“He’s handsome.”
“Yes?”
“He’s handsome…. Very.”
On the monitor, Do-jae was smiling brightly in a blue forest.
“Ah…. Yes, he is handsome.”
“How could such a handsome friend know how to do a sword dance…. Did he learn by watching videos or something?”
“Maybe he did?”
“Still, it’s amazing…. How could he…….”
Professor Kim Ye-in, who had been admiring him once more, said.
“Ah, send that video to Teacher Oh Young-hee too.”
“To Teacher Oh Young-hee?”
Oh Young-hee was a sword dance inheritor and one of the best artisans in the sword dance world, who was working with Professor Kim Ye-in on the restoration of the royal court sword dance.
Professor Kim Ye-in’s eyes shone sharply.
“That part written in the historical record… It seems like the movements this friend is doing are similar. I think it would be good to research in this direction.”
It was about the part that was written only in text, so it was not clear what kind of movement it would be.
“Ah! Yes, I understand!”
Assistant Instructor Jung hurriedly replied and sent the MyTube link to Teacher Oh Young-hee.
Some time later.
Professor Kim Ye-in had an interview with a magazine about the restoration of the royal court sword dance and revealed that Do-jae’s sword dance had given a lot of inspiration and help in restoring a type of royal court sword dance.
It was an amazing coincidence, but one of the interview contents was that she was still curious about how such accurate movements were possible.
The interview content was known to Do-jae thanks to the fans.
The members were just amazed at how Do-jae knew the sword dance, and even that Do-jae did the sword dance movements that were being restored…….
‘I should have been careful.’
Do-jae rather thought he had been careless.
The sword dance movements that Do-jae had learned were the movements of the sword dance that he had often seen during his time as a prince, but he didn’t know that they didn’t remain in Korea.
‘Certainly, this side has had many wars and the period of Japanese colonial rule, so history has not been well preserved.’
It was a pity.
However, Do-jae couldn’t recklessly share the knowledge he knew.
This was because most of the historical records to support such historical facts in Korea had been damaged and disappeared.
‘The two worlds are similar, but they are clearly different. It’s right for them to flow differently.’
That’s what Do-jae was thinking.
Of course, all of these things happened a few months later.
***
At the same time that Professor Kim Ye-in and Assistant Instructor Jung were watching Do-jae’s video.
The members who arrived at the broadcasting station greeted the female DJ whom they had already met several times.
“Congratulations on winning first place! Is it not even something to be congratulated on anymore since you’ve done it so many times?”
“Oh, don’t say that! It’s always good to be congratulated!”
The DJ laughed brightly at Heung-min’s playful remark.
Today’s radio show was a ‘visible radio’ show, so the members had lightly touched up their hair and makeup.
The clothes were not their own, but clothes that the stylist had chosen for them.
They were much more comfortable than stage costumes, but in reality, they were expensive luxury goods that were more expensive than stage costumes.
The members sat in the guest seats, waiting for the song to end and the segment to begin, being careful not to spill the coffee they were drinking on their clothes.
-Oooo!!
-It’s the kids lololololol
-They’ve arrived!
-☆☆☆MOST good luck wishes☆☆☆
-They’re so pretty today ㅠㅠ
-Min oppa, please take off your shirt in commemoration of today’s visible radio show
-I love you MOST
-lol Isn’t the DJ unnie’s [older sister] expression too bright?
-It’s funny how her tension went up right away lol
-I’m requesting MOST’s b-side track, ‘The Little Prince’~
-Let’s make Beautiful Fly even more popular!
-Woo-cheol is cute lol
-Are they doing a live performance of Beautiful Fly?
-He looks tired because he went to Tongyeong yesterday ㅠㅠ
Lui, who was checking the real-time comments on the monitor, drew an X with his finger at the camera.
Thanks to getting a good rest last night, he wasn’t tired.
As soon as Lui reacted to the camera, the comments quickly went up.
Lui’s name was Lui, and the styling of the luxury brand ‘Louis Vuitton’ suited him so well that he had the nickname ‘Human Louis Vuitton.’
The t-shirt he was wearing today was also a white short-sleeved t-shirt with the Louis Vuitton logo, which suited him so well and made the fans’ eyes light up.
Do-jae, who was sitting next to Lui, also took a sip of his Americano and looked at the monitor.
-Please come closer
-I’m getting dizzy because I want to hear your voice quickly
Do-jae, who saw the comments, brought his face closer to the camera.
Then, comments poured in again in real time.
If Lui was ‘Human Louis Vuitton,’ Do-jae was ‘Human Chanel.’
Because he was matching his clothes in a comfortable way that was similar to his usual concept, Do-jae was wearing a Chanel drop earring only on his left ear.
However, Do-jae’s face was shining even more than the expensive Chanel earring, to the point that it couldn’t be seen.
-Chanel takes an unexpected loss
It was understandable that such comments were coming up.
While the fans were admiring Do-jae’s and the members’ faces, the song ended.
The DJ introduced today’s guest, MOST, in a cheerful voice.
“Today’s guest… The reaction was hot as soon as the announcement went out. Many people have been waiting for them! We have invited MOST!”
The members greeted the listeners with cheerful voices, matching the DJ’s tension.
That’s how the full-fledged radio schedule began.
***
How they came to work with Periot, episodes from the music video set, and even episodes from the
Before they knew it, 30 minutes had passed while answering the prepared questions.
“…Wow. How did time pass so quickly? I didn’t realize time was passing while chatting with the MOST members.”
Because there were other segments to follow, the DJ hurriedly wrapped up the conversation.
“It seems like the members are much more comfortable on the show than before.”
“Is that so?”
Heung-min smiled and replied to the DJ’s words.
“Yes. Your sense of humor has also increased, ah! Of course, you were originally outstanding, but.”
“Ahahaha! Don’t praise me too much!”
“Especially Min-ssi, is it because you came after filming a variety show? You’re even more witty?!”
“It’s the first broadcast next week! Everyone’s…! Ah, am I not supposed to say the name of the program?”
“No, you can say it.”
“Yes, yes. Please watch
The DJ and the members raised the corners of their mouths at Heung-min’s promotional comment that suddenly came in.
The DJ, who checked the time again, hurriedly said.
“Then it’s time to listen to a song. It’s the live time that you’ve been waiting for.”
In line with the DJ’s comments, the members got up from their seats and headed to where the microphones were placed.
The camera showed the members standing in a row preparing for the live performance.
“We’ll listen to the song and come back after the commercial. After that, we’ll check the answers to the member-specific quizzes that we gave during the opening! Please leave a lot of comments!”
They were quizzes that asked about the members’ tendencies, such as ‘Do you dip or pour the sweet and sour pork sauce?’
There were tendencies that were revealed while working, but there were also things that even the members didn’t know.
The fans predicted the members’ tendencies without stopping while waiting for the live performance.
“Then MOST will sing! Beautiful Fly!”
As soon as the DJ’s comments ended, the intro of Beautiful Fly began to play.
The members standing in front of the stand microphones shook their bodies lightly to the rhythm while wearing headphones.
Every time they cheerfully nodded their heads, Do-jae’s earrings jingled and shook.
―I got my light!
Gyu-seong opened the song with a refreshing voice.
Following that, Do-jae stably supported the song.
The DJ, who had organized the script, turned around and began to enjoy MOST’s live performance in earnest.
She had listened to the live performances of many singers while working as a DJ, but it was rare for a singer to do a live performance that made people so immersed in an instant.
It was clear even to her, who was an announcer and not a singer, that their singing skills had improved dramatically since the last promotion.
As much as they weren’t dancing, the members’ live performance was even more relaxed, and they didn’t forget to do fan service to the ‘visible radio’ camera when it wasn’t their part.
―Give me everything Let me fly
Ki-jun, who was rapping with one hand in his pocket, exuded the scent of a professional.
―I’ll give you the world Let you fly, don’t run,
Woo-cheol, who had been full of playfulness throughout the radio show, also looked quite cool as he sang seriously.
Woo-cheol didn’t forget to wink at the end of his part.
In the following second verse chorus, Do-jae and Gyu-seong boasted fantastic teamwork.
―Life goes beautiful, beautiful!
―you, like butterfly
The atmosphere was at its peak. Gyu-seong raised the note a little more in the ‘butterfly’ part that was repeated once more.
It was possible because it was a moment only for singing, not dancing.
His condition was also good today.
A clear and high voice that gave goosebumps for a moment rang inside the radio booth.
The PD and staff outside the booth looked at each other with surprised expressions.
It was a voice that listeners who were listening to the radio in various places, such as in their cars, homes, and stores, couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at the radio.
What was even more surprising was next.
Do-jae continued the next part by adding a technique to the raised note, as if he had predicted Gyu-seong’s ad-lib.
―Your smile that pours down beautifully, um, um
―Um, um, um!
Gyu-seong added harmony at the same time.
Lui and Woo-cheol smiled lightly while looking at each other.
The two were simultaneously thinking, ‘The hyungs [older brothers/male friends] are so great that they can’t be stopped.’
Heung-min shook his head at the two vocalists’ performance.
―I’m happy in that smile
There was a smile in Ki-jun’s eyes, who was singing seriously.
The song ended with a loud bang! sound.
“Waaaaa!”
The DJ got up from her seat and applauded.
It was time for commercials on the radio, but the DJ was completely immersed in the afterglow of the song.
“Wow, I really enjoyed listening.”
“Thank you.”
The members greeted and sat back in their seats.
It was clear that the highlight of today’s radio show would be the live performance.
Even then, the DJ was thinking that.
However, that afternoon, the post with the most comments related to the radio schedule on the community site was a different post.
The microphone inside the radio booth was turned on again after the commercial.
