Prince From Another Dimension Becomes An Idol [EN]: Chapter 91

#91.

Around that time.

A new account was created on the SoundPie site.

It was MOST’s account, created after discussions between the members and the company.

In the studio set up within the company building, the members uploaded an unreleased song to the new account with trembling hearts.

The title was .

It was a song the members made solely for their fans.

***

“How about conveying a message to the fans with a song, even if it’s short?”

It was an idea from Heungmin.

“We’re doing the music we want to do, and only our fans matter, not what others say… Just saying it won’t mean much.”

“Conveying it through a song will definitely have meaning.”

The weight of the sincerity conveyed would be different.

It was also an opportunity to showcase MOST’s musical capabilities once again.

Starting with Gijun, all the members nodded in agreement, saying it was a good idea.

Once the decision was made, the members immediately started working on the song.

The beginning was Gijun and Dojae refining the song together, based on the beat uploaded to the Lee.do account.

It was the first time the two of them had completed a song solely by combining their efforts, without the help of Director Lee Jeongyeop or others.

It was possible because both Gijun and Dojae had gained even more experience than when working on their first full-length album.

The fact that it wasn’t an official *eumwon* [digital single release] also eased some of the pressure on them.

The refined song was hip-hop style, so the rappers took center stage, unlike MOST’s existing songs.

Gijun and Heungmin showed off their flamboyant rapping skills, which had been difficult to showcase before, with lyrics they wrote themselves.

“I have something I want to say in this part too! To the fans!”

Not only the two of them but also Louis and the other members put their heads together and participated in writing the lyrics.

Working freely without limits, they also discovered new possibilities.

“Here… Woocheol’s voice would suit the low-pitched part, what do you think?”

On Gyuseong’s recommendation, Woocheol attempted rap (though closer to singing) for the first time in the hook part.

Woocheol’s voice, lowered by one tone than usual, was more attractive than expected.

Following this, Dojae, Gyuseong, and Louis filled the song with vocals and chorus in various ways.

After a few days, a short song of about two minutes was completed.

It was a song that started out being made for the fans, but it was a work in which the members felt even greater joy and reward.

So they sincerely hoped that the song would appeal to the hearts of the fans.

“I hope the fans like it.”

At Woocheol’s murmur, the members who were looking at the computer screen together nodded in unison.

0 followers, 0 plays.

The fans were not yet aware of the account creation.

As soon as the song upload was complete, Heungmin immediately announced the hot news on Tweety [Korean equivalent of Twitter].

@MOST_OFFICIAL

BEST! Are you doing well? Please accept our gift! Ah, I’m Min~!

(http://soundpie.com/most_official/song-for-best-by-most)

As soon as the post went up on Tweety, fans began to follow the SoundPie account.

It was happening at a frightening speed, reflecting their recent popularity and attention.

The reaction was also very immediate.

@After *hwal-dong* [promotional activities], they suddenly appear on D.Hiphop when we miss them and take first place on *eumcha* [music charts], and now they’re releasing a song for the fans for free? Is this real life?

@Our kids are the Choi Jojong of the idol worldㅠㅠ RT @When they received the banner event, I thought, ‘Ah, the kids are really nice..’ but this is another level

@Seriously surprised after listening to the SoundPie song. MOST’s level is no joke

@I think they released the song because they knew the *jaesu-taeng* [unlucky jerk] was bothering the fans, but should I thank the *jaesu-taeng*? ㅅㅂ It’s much better than the *jaesu-taeng*’s song. I’m not saying this because I’m a fan

@Call the account, please callㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ How can I listen to this for free?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Please make paid *gyeolje* [payment/purchasing] possible. Open your wallets, my bank account is going in

@Seeing that they even opened a SoundPie account this time, are they going to keep uploading songs?

@I closed my eyes and listened to the lyrics and cried. I’m making a Han River in my room (picture of a pillow soaked in tears)

@Doctor, Song For Best is stuck in my eardrum and won’t come out, what should I do

@Crying while banging my head against the wall because MOST released a *myeonggok* [masterpiece] for free as a fan song,,,

@It’s a night where I’m really proud to be a BEST.

@BEST 1st generation fan club membership card
I’ll treasure it as a family heirloom

@I’m a late fan so I couldn’t join the fan club~ I’m so jealous of you!

@Am I allowed to love MOST this much? I’m upset that I’m not a singer so I can’t sing for them #SONG_FOR_MOST

@Ah, both of our kids are trending in *sil-teo* [real-time trends].. #SONG_FOR_MOST #SONG_FOR_BEST They’re kings of *jujeop* [corny/cheesy comments]ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

@Seeing the timeline is noisy, I guess the *wang-guk* [kingdom] idol did something again

@They released a fan song for free on SoundPieㅠㅠ If you know how to write songs, this kind of event is possible

@To be honest, our *oppadeul* [older brothers/male idols] also know how to composeㅋ..ㅋㅋ But I think they don’t care about their fans at all

@Junghyun, look and learn from your *hubae* [juniors/less experienced artists]..

@So jealous.. #SimJunghyun_Reflect

@Do you want to do this kind of *kkappajit* [defensive/obsessive fan behavior] with Junghyun’s profile picture?

@Unnie [older sister/female friend], can’t you see all of Junghyun’s fans are going to MOST? If you really care about him, you should tell Junghyun to come to his sensesㅉㅉ [tsk tsk – expressing disapproval] Do you want to see him sucking his fingers?

@From today, I withdraw all support for MOST. From this moment on, I am one with MOST, so any attack on MOST is considered an attack on me.

@Good looking, great body, kind, and even raps well? Someone who can’t do everything and even raps badly should die?

@They’re already dead from embarrassment

@I don’t really like idols, but if you’re going to make money from fans, shouldn’t you have this much sincerity? Everyone should reflect

@The lyrics here are really crazy ‘My salvation that came like a star in the dark night’ How can you express the fans like thisㅠㅠ

@I like smiling in front of you, I like you guys smiling at me, that’s all that matters.. My tear button is pressed

@I’m so happy to be a MOST fan

The fans’ reactions were nothing short of *gamdong* [touching/moving].

The Tweety reaction exploded, and it became a topic in the community as well.

Chisu’s provocation angered the entire idol fandom, and thanks to that, all sorts of fandoms were interested in MOST.

At such a time, they released a song for the fans, so quite a few people from other fandoms were swayed.

Their heart for the fans is so pretty, the song is so good in the meantime, it would have been nice if it was released as a paid *eumwon* [digital single].

It was full of praise.

Thanks to MOST, who dealt with Chisu’s provocation in a great way by soothing the fans’ hearts instead of being on the same level as him, Chisu became….

Even more ridiculous.

Not only did he audition to enter 선율 Entertainment as an idol trainee and fail.

As the music that Dojae had previously uploaded as Lee.do was re-uploaded to the SoundPie MOST account, it was revealed that Dojae was Lee.do.

Then a fan found out that Chisu was among Lee.do’s followers.

Chisu had to be dragged to the surface once again and ridiculed.

-No.. are you saying he *kka* [criticizes/insults] even the artist he *hateu* [hearts/likes] himself?ㅋㅋ

-Chisu.. who is heㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is this why blind tests are neededㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅇㅇ [yes yes] completely a gagㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-The reason why *Gae-Con* [Korean comedy show] was *pyeji* [cancelled].jpg ㅜㅜㅋㅋ

-If I were Chisu, I would live like I was dead for a while because I’m so embarrassed

-He said *ganji* [swag/coolness] is life, but where did the *ganji* go

-Isn’t it too much to catch one person and do this? Chisu was wrong at first, but I don’t know if he deserves to be ridiculed this much

-How much *jo-rong* [mockery/ridicule] did he do? It’s nothing compared to Chisu *jo-rong* idols and fandoms

-Did he *jo-rong* without knowing this would happen

-Why is a rapper *pae* [criticizing/attacking] someone who was just standing still when he should be rapping well

-He can’t even rap well

-Still, he’s *hwakjeong* [confirmed] for runner-up in D.Hiphop, so I don’t think it’s right to *kka* [criticize] even his skills

-Yeah, *paranoid-ppal* [Paranoid’s influence]

The only way for Chisu to reverse his negative image and restore his honor seemed to be to ‘tear up’ the next final stage.

***

However, even that method seemed distant.

Season 3, final episode.

Chisu, whose mental state had completely collapsed before the final *gyeong-yeon* [competition], couldn’t concentrate on *gok* [song] work.

He said he would show the haters who were attacking him what’s what.

However, even *Paranoid*, who was protecting Chisu, felt sorry for the lyrics this time.

Until now, Chisu had somehow endured with *heo-se* [bluff/false bravado] that he was good, but after his *yeoldeung-gam* [inferiority complex], which he didn’t want to be *deulkida* [exposed], was *deulkida* [exposed], he was miserable.

The *jejakjin* [production team] and *simsa-wiwon* [judges] tried to *kkeul-eo-ga* [pull along/support] Chisu somehow, but it didn’t work well.

In the end, the *seungja* [winner] of the final stage became clear.

It was Sprint, who shook the stage with his unwavering and trained rap from beginning to end.

“Manage your expression.”

Just before the result announcement.

Waiting below the stage, Sprint gave Chisu a *sseunsori* [bitter/honest advice].

Even so, Chisu had made it to the final.

He had rap skills, but his thoughts were short and his *sseulmo-eomneun heo-se* [useless bluff] was too *simhaetda* [severe/excessive].

“Don’t just think about looking cool inside because *hyungdeul* [older brothers/mentors] are *kkieo-ju* [helping you out], look outside too. The reason why your *gasa* [lyrics] doesn’t have depth is because your *siya* [perspective] is too *jopaseo* [narrow].”

Sprint *nae-baet-eotda* [spit out/expressed] *jinsim eorin chunggo* [sincere advice] towards his *hubae* [junior].

Knowing that he was the same age as Dojae, who he worked with, he felt sorry for him.

Leaving aside the *gok* [song], Dojae’s *pyeongso tae-do* [usual attitude] and attitude as an artist were something that even Sprint wanted to *bae-ugo* [learn], so he was even more *bigyo* [comparing].

“Mind your own business. Like a *kkondae* [old-fashioned/꼰대…….”

“*Paranoid* doesn’t even give you this kind of *chunggo* [advice]?”

It was when Chisu was about to *banbak* [retort] something.

The MC called the two of them onto the *mudae* [stage].

And soon the *useungja* [winner] was *palpyo* [announced].

“ D.Hiphop Season 3! The prize money is a whopping 200 million won! The *yeonggwangseureoun useungja* [glorious winner] is…. Yes! Sprint! It’s Sprint! Congratulations!”

*Galchae* [applause] poured out on the *hyeonjang* [scene/location].

Some of the *simsa-wiwondeul* [judges] who *eungwon* [cheering for] Sprint also *gippeohamyeo heundeul-eotda* [happily waved] the *bandana* [bandana] or *son* [hand] they were *deulgo* [holding].

Even those who *tamtakji* [displeased] Sprint *injeongui baksu* [applause of acknowledgement] as if they had *jyeotda* [lost].

The *Paranoid* in the *gaekseok* [audience] tried to manage their expression.

Chisu only made a *choesohanui baneung* [minimal reaction] with a *eodueun eolgul* [dark/gloomy face].

“Thank you. Since I got 1st place, I won’t talk about the past after today…. I also know that *jakku hanpurihaneun* [constantly complaining] is not *meot-eomneun* [uncool].”

*Hwanhohaetda* [cheered] in the *gaekseok* [audience] at Sprint’s *kulhan ment* [cool comment].

*Hwiparam sori* [whistle sounds] were heard here and there.

“Producer and my friend Coca! *Ssaekki* [term of endearment/affection]…. Thank you so much. And…. MOST, who *gwaenhi* [unnecessarily] got caught up in *guseol* [gossip/scandal] even after making my song number 1. You guys are really *meotjin atiseuteu* [amazing artists]. This *ssin* [scene/industry] thinks that digging one well is the best. Of course, that’s why it tastes deep…. But they don’t even taste other wells and think they’re *mat-eomneun* [tasteless]. I hope everyone knows that too much *goimyeon sseokneundaneun* [stagnation leads to decay]…. Yes. I was called a *kkondae* [꼰대] even below the *mudae* [stage]. I’m going to get *yok gae-meokgetne* [get a lot of hate/criticism].”

Sprint, who *sseureonaerin* [swept back] his *bansakhan meori* [half-shaved head], *ieogatda* [continued] his *sogam* [impressions/acceptance speech].

“Anyway, I will continue to *yeolsimhi ttang pago* [diligently dig the ground/work hard] and only talk with songs so that I don’t become *sseogeun mul* [stagnant water]! *Apeurodo* [from now on]! Thank you to my parents for watching over their *motnan adeul* [unworthy son]!”

Sprint, who *dangdanghage machin* [confidently finished] his *sogam* [speech] like that, *dasi bureumyeo* [sang again] the *gok* [song] he sang in the *gyeolseungjeon* [final round] as an *aengkol* [encore], and D.Hiphop Season 3 *mageul naerida* [came to an end].

The members who were watching the *saengbangsong* [live broadcast] on TV *utseotda ppudeuthage* [smiled proudly] like it was their own *il* [achievement].

***

The members were *mokgyeokdwen* [sighted] in *gucheongdeul* [district offices] in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do a few days later.
