“Looks like it!”

[MyTuber Couple Wang Daengdaeng.. What’s the Story Behind Their Gratitude to Idol Group MOST?]

The reason dozens of articles poured out was thanks to the MyTuber ‘Wang Daengdaeng Couple,’ who boast a million subscribers.

***

The MOST members learned that their performance just a few hours earlier had become a hot topic online at the restaurant where they went for dinner.

It was a daze.

Dojae felt the same way.

He thought that news might spread little by little since they took photos.

The reason they kept the appearance a secret was because they were worried that many people might come to the performance, but they didn’t think they could hide the performance itself.

‘Even if you wear silk clothes, you put patched clothes over them. There’s no need to make a fuss about doing good deeds, but there was nothing to hide.’

However, it wasn’t a big deal like donating hundreds of millions, so he didn’t expect it to become such a quick and big topic.

Most of the members seemed to know the Wang Daengdaeng couple and were amazed, saying, ‘The Wang Daengdaeng couple was there.’

‘Most of the articles seem to be about the Wang Daengdaeng couple… What a strange name. Are they a Chinese couple?’

Dojae asked Woochul.

“Are the Wang Daengdaeng couple that famous?”

“Seriously, hyung [older brother or male friend]. You don’t know the Wang Daengdaeng couple? They’re MyTubers! They have a million subscribers. Don’t you watch MyTube, hyung?”

“I only watch other things…….”

Dojae was only subscribed to music channels or channels related to culture and knowledge.

“Ah. Then you don’t know Daeng either? This is him!”

“He is so cute!”

“Lui, you like him too. He’s really cute. His full name is Wang Daengdaeng. The couple who raises him, so the channel name is Wang Daengdaeng Couple.”

Dojae focused on the phone screen that Woochul held out.

The thumbnail Woochul showed had a bichon [a small, fluffy white dog breed] that was much bigger than a normal bichon, smiling.

“Ah. This dog friend…. I saw him in the recommended videos.”

“Right? He’s famous for being huge and smart, probably mixed with something. He’s almost like a person.”

Heungmin chimed in at Woochul’s words.

“Woochul, you saw the video of him opening the front door and going out into the yard, right? It looks like a manipulation, but it’s not like they put on a dog mask and manipulated it…. It was amazing.”

“That video is really amazing.”

“I’m sad that I can’t see him these days. I hope he’s growing up well? Wang Daeng…….”

Heungmin smacked his lips in disappointment.

It wasn’t his dog, but he had grown quite fond of it because he watched the videos on MyTube every day.

“I find the couple’s daily life funnier than the dog.”

“Ah. That’s crazy. That might be why they became more famous?”

Gyusung also shared stories about the video with Heungmin.

Dojae, who had solved his primary curiosity, searched for the Wang Daengdaeng couple in the search bar.

I want to raise such a cute dog too!

(Crying emoticon)

…Dojae could barely find out the story written in the title after scrolling for a long time.

‘This person needs to find a new writing teacher.’

Dojae coldly evaluated with an unpleasant expression.

Anyway, to summarize the content:

The Wang Daengdaeng couple are MyTubers with nearly one million subscribers, known for short and pleasant videos ranging from dog content to daily life vlogs.

They stopped uploading videos 100 days ago.

The reason was that their three-year-old daughter was hospitalized due to a traffic accident, and they wanted to do their best to take care of the child until she was discharged from the hospital.

That’s why they got to see Gyusung and Dojae’s performance at the hospital.

And immediately after watching the performance, they turned on a live broadcast to share their recent situation.

The members turned on the saved live video to watch it themselves.

You could see everything because subtitles appeared even if you didn’t turn on the sound.

―Hello, Daengdaeng family members. It’s been a long time since we’ve greeted you.

―Have you been well?

―The reason why we turned on the broadcast today is because we need to tell you about our recent situation.

There were already many subscribers who supported the couple’s unfortunate situation, but there was a lot of talk as it had been over 100 days since the news was cut off.

They were worried and curious about whether the family was doing well.

Also, the couple is busy taking care of the child, so Wang Daengdaeng is not being taken care of, and shouldn’t one person take care of the child and the other upload videos to make money?

Even low-level comments started to appear.

―Our daughter has improved a lot now. She has a cast and some wound treatment left, but she is healthy otherwise.

―We have a caregiver and we take turns looking after the child, so Wang Daengdaeng is doing well while taking walks.

―The reason why we turned on this video today is because we received a gift unexpectedly. I want to thank you.

―A group called MOST came to the hospital to perform.

―I was so out of it last year that I didn’t even know who they were, but I heard they’re popular idols? When I looked at the comments, many of you knew them.

―I was surprised that idols came to volunteer at this hospital, and I was surprised by their sincerity.

―My daughter really liked it too. We were also comforted a lot. They sang so well.

―They prepared a lot. It was a really touching performance!

―After seeing it, I had a lot of thoughts. Many people said they were healed by watching our videos. I think that’s how those people felt.

―That’s right.

―So, our daughter and we have recovered a lot. We have decided to upload videos again. Is it too sudden?

―We want to give strength back to those who are waiting and those who were energized by our videos. Like we received.

―That’s right. Even busy idols take the time to live a rewarding life!

―That’s right!

The couple smiled playfully.

They said they learned about MOST’s song through today’s performance, certified their purchase history of , and joked that they should be called MOST’s fans, BEST [MOST’s fandom name], from now on.

―Then we’ll see you soon with Wang Daengdaeng’s video!

“Wow, that’s really amazing. We can see Wang Daengdaeng’s video again?”

“That’s right. Thanks to Dojae and Gyusung!”

After watching the video.

Woochul and Heungmin muttered as if they were amazed.

“Wait a minute. If they were there, I should have gotten an autograph!”

“Isn’t it a bit much to get an autograph when the baby is sick?”

“Is that so? Anyway, a MyTuber who I watch on video every day is going to be our fan. Is this what it means to be lucky? Hyungs [older brothers or male friends], you did a great job!”

Gyusung smiled lightly at Woochul’s words.

It was a different feeling from when senior artist Park Sora mentioned MOST on the radio before.

It contained a little more meaning, but as expected, the ripple effect was different as it was a popular MyTuber.

“It was a meaningful performance in many ways.”

Even if they weren’t famous MyTubers, it was really meaningful that someone was comforted by their performance and even decided to return to their daily life.

Dojae smiled at Gyusung as he organized his thoughts.

Above all, he was happy that the original goal of ‘finding Gyusung’s meaning’ was successful.

Just in time, the ordered spicy pork dish came out.

It was a regular Korean restaurant in front of the dorm after a long time.

“I heard you did good things today. I made more than usual, so eat a lot!”

“Wow. Did you know too, auntie [a respectful term for an older woman]?”

“Of course. I watch all the internet news too.”

“Awesome! I love you, auntie! I Love you!”

The members picked up their chopsticks excitedly.

***

The good deeds of the idol group and the news of the popular MyTuber’s return went up and down the real-time search terms for a day.

Thanks to that, there were media outlets that wanted to interview MOST.

However, they had already enjoyed more buzz than expected.

Anything too much was not good.

Kingdom did not release any additional related interviews or articles.

In the meantime, the members’ short vacation was over.

“Here are the results.”

Team Leader Kim Seokcheol handed out health checkup results to the members gathered in the conference room.

Fortunately, no member had any major health problems.

Gyujun had mild gastritis [inflammation of the stomach lining].

The mental test results also showed that the stress level was good compared to the job.

It was thanks to Gyusung receiving appropriate mental care through additional counseling after the performance.

“We will continue to check regularly in the future, but please tell me if there is any problem, even a little.”

“Yes. We will.”

When Dojae answered on behalf of the group, Team Leader Kim Seokcheol nodded.

In fact, Dojae was in such a healthy state, both physically and mentally, that he wondered if he should be excluded from the health checkup.

Even his blood pressure and pulse were at the most ideal levels.

Of course, that was because he didn’t know that Dojae of the Great Han Empire often suffered from stress-induced gastritis and took medicine.

Team Leader Kim Seokcheol refocused the members, who were checking the results and chatting lightly.

“You all know that we will be preparing for the next album starting today.”

“Yeah!”

“Yes…….”

Conflicting reactions came from Lui and Woochul.

Lui, who had been resting for a fortnight, was already eager to be on stage.

Woochul also wanted to be on stage, but he was already afraid of the hellish practice that would start again to prepare for the album.

“All the songs will be decided within two weeks, and then we will start recording in order…. In the meantime, you can take classes and practice according to this schedule.”

The schedule that Team Leader Kim Seokcheol handed out was packed as Woochul had worried.

Various language classes, health PT [personal training], basic dance classes, and vocal classes in consideration of future overseas expansion…….

Even so, it was a schedule that didn’t require reducing sleep because there were no recording schedules or filming schedules before the song came out.

“I wonder when the title song will come out.”

Dojae muttered to himself as he looked at the schedule.

Then the eyes of the members and Team Leader Kim Seokcheol all turned to Dojae.

It was because the conference room was quiet and Dojae had a voice that focused people so much.

“Ah…….”

Dojae thought he had made a slight mistake in the gaze that alternated between him and Gyujun.

Based on the success of their debut album, MOST had clearly decided to continue making albums with high participation from the members, centering on Gyujun.

That’s why Director Lee Junghyeop and Gyujun were writing the title song for this album.

He was just sincerely curious about the title song as much as he was looking forward to it.

It wasn’t to put pressure on Gyujun, who was working all night, going back and forth between his room and the company’s studio even during his vacation…….

“Ah. And there will be a reality show filming that I mentioned starting today. Don’t be surprised if there are cameras installed in the dorm.”

The gaze was diverted again as Team Leader Kim Seokcheol continued to speak.

“There aren’t cameras installed in the bathroom, are there?! It’s a bit shy there.”

“Of course, privacy will be protected. Agent Lee Jungeun will explain the filming in detail at the dorm later.”

Team Leader Kim Seokcheol answered businesslike to Lui’s absurd question.

That was the end of the short announcement about the upcoming schedule.

The members fluttered the papers they each received and left the conference room.

Then Gyujun called out to Dojae.

“Dojae, let’s talk for a second.”
