Prince From Another Dimension Becomes An Idol [EN]: Chapter 99

99.

“Really?!”

Unsurprisingly, Louie, who loved dramas, reacted the most enthusiastically.

“What drama is it?!”

Team Leader Jung Hee-young answered Louie’s question.

“It’s ! The music director said that the writer and the male lead, actor Park Seung-ho, highly recommended us…….”

“Wow! Do-jae, hyung [older brother/male friend]! I love you!”

Before Team Leader Jung Hee-young could finish speaking, an excited Louie grabbed Do-jae’s hand and confessed his love.

It was obvious to anyone that they got the job thanks to Do-jae.

‘Even recommending the OST [original soundtrack]… The writer must be a big fan.’

The fact that the OST offer came in again despite declining the appearance offer meant that Park Seung-ho had explained Do-jae’s position well.

Do-jae brushed off Louie’s love confession, saying that the writer said they were fans of the entire MOST, not just him.

In any case, Louie was thrilled.

Participating in a drama OST was one of the things Louie wanted to achieve when he became a singer.

It was quite a big wish, right after having a fan club and holding a concert.

Since everything except the concert had been achieved, Louie couldn’t help but be happy.

Moreover, it wasn’t just a passing theme song but the main theme song for the male and female leads in the drama by writer Oh Hye-young and starring Park Seung-ho.

“I love it so much. Our voices will be playing when the two hold hands or go on dates!”

Louie raved about how great the opportunity was.

“We haven’t even heard what the song is yet.”

They didn’t know if it would be used in a sweet or sad scene.

Gi-jun shook his head and muttered, but Louie smiled brightly.

“The music director thought it was good after listening to , so Louie’s prediction might be right… Anyway, we need to have a meeting,” Team Leader Jung Hee-young added.

Woo-cheol patted Louie’s shoulder, who was excited.

“Kim Louie, you’ve hit the jackpot! Now you’re a drama OST singer!”

“Hyungs, we have to participate in this project with all our effort. Do your best!”

“Of course!”

Heung-min said as if telling him to calm down.

The sight of Louie being so excited brought laughter from all over the conference room.

At that time, participating in the OST was just about fulfilling Louie’s wish.

No one thought it would have any more meaning than that.

Concerts hosted by famous duty-free shops, cultural festivals hosted by the city for teenagers, concerts by large corporations with long traditions, etc.

Autumn, with its good weather, was overflowing with various concerts and events, and the members performed on stage while preparing for the album to be released early next year.

The 1st anniversary ON TV live broadcast was also successfully completed.

The members’ part switch-up uploaded to SoundPie received a great response from fans.

-I’m so grateful to the kids ㅠㅠ They even did something like this

-Following Ssong4Bae, my best ppong [addiction] is filling up again ㅠㅠ

-Our neighborhood’s delicious restaurant Moppong Baepong ㅠㅠ

-Do-jae is good at rap too?

-What can’t Do-jae do ㅠㅠ

-Do-jae Jeonha [His Majesty]… He is the king of the idol world ㅠㅠ

-No, he’s really good. Is it because he sings well? He seems to have a sense for it

-I felt it during Ssong4Bae, but Woo-cheol’s lowered voice is definitely good

-Woo-cheol has a talent for rap. I wish he had learned it properly

-The maknae [youngest member]ㅋㅋㅋㅋ should just singㅋㅋㅋ

-Still, he did well enough. Let’s cheer him on

-The maknae’s rap is cute too. Boongaboonga

-Doru’s chemistry is great even when they’re rapping

-No talking about couplings

-Why? It’s just about the members. Then isn’t Rap-ra also tied together, so it’s not allowed?

-Doru is just a nickname for Do-jae and Louie, it’s not a couple name. They have a separate couple name. Delete the comment

-Delete the comment before it ruins the thread

-Gyu-sung’s voice is unique and has personality even when he raps

-It was an event with a lesson to be faithful to each other’s workㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-That’s right

-Cute ㅠㅠ Gyu-sung’s slightly lisping pronunciation is so cute ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Our Gyuㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Isn’t this part distribution wrong? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Rap-ra has too many parts ㅋㅋㅋ

-Because two people are singing four people’s parts ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I’m going crazy ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’m laughing so hard because of Rap-ra ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Didn’t they say the kids all came up with this idea together? I’m surprised the leader allowed it

-ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [slang for ‘f***’ or ‘s***’]

-Really.. this is sacrifice, sacrifice ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Lee Gi-jun.. I will remember your sacrifice..

-Remember October 10th, the debut day and the day our Gi-jun revealed he’s tone-deaf for the fans..

-Stop teasing him ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I don’t think he thinks he’s tone-deaf ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He just thinks he can’t sing normally

-That’s the same thing ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Why does Min-i singing sound like my friend? It’s like I went to karaoke with him ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I know ㅋㅋㅋㅋ He’s like my classmate ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Friendly and good

-It’s like mine too ㅋㅋ

-^^?

Half of the reaction was about Gi-jun and Heung-min, the singing skills of the members who used to rap.

Gi-jun, as if he had expected this reaction, stayed away from the fan cafe and Twitter for a while.

And he stubbornly explained to Heung-min, who was making fun of him, that ‘he wasn’t tone-deaf, he was just singing with feeling.’

“And I don’t want to be made fun of by you.”

“Why would I? I’m good! If I practiced a little more, I could have been a vocalist! I chose rap because I like rap! I didn’t choose rap because I can’t sing!”

Hoping that he wouldn’t realize that it looked a little pathetic…….

The younger members gathered in the living room of the dorm and unfolded the newly arrived photobook.

“Come and see it quickly!”

Woo-cheol called Gi-jun and Heung-min, who were arguing near the dining table.

The two turned around, feeling awkward.

MOST’s 1st anniversary photobook began full-scale promotion and pre-sale two weeks before its release.

As expected, the news of world-renowned photographer Jin Ha-ru’s participation garnered explosive attention from fans and various people.

Since a female singer from Seonyul Entertainment worked with a famous domestic photographer just once in the past, such a famous person had never participated in an idol photobook.

All kinds of fandoms raised their voices of envy towards MOST, saying that Kingdom had done what even large agencies couldn’t do.

Even if it’s the same ‘beloved idol’s’ merchandise, people want to have merchandise with high collectible value if possible.

People in the art field showed great interest in Jin Ha-ru’s work being seen in an idol photobook, a different move.

While saying that they were looking forward to seeing what kind of work would come out, there were also those who sent negative views, saying that it was a job that lowered their own level.

Jin Ha-ru couldn’t have failed to anticipate that such reactions would come out in the field he works in.

“Wow…….”

“Is this really us?”

“Yes. It turned out really well.”

Do-jae answered Heung-min’s question and carefully turned the first page of the photobook.

As soon as the photobook was published, Jin Ha-ru overturned all the negative views that had been circulating.

MOST’s photobook had become a collection of portraits worth owning even if you weren’t a fan.

Each and every photo was filled with the theme of ‘the longest day’.

‘He really uses light well.’

The members’ faces, captured in a moment as if the scent of the sea was coming to the tip of their noses, were bright and fresh.

The members realized what kind of expression made them look their best while looking at the photobook.

“I smile like this…….”

Heung-min muttered as if he felt awkward.

After the individual photos of the members, group photos came out.

Photos of two or three people naturally sticking together and photos of all six members together followed.

The group photo, which was also produced as a special bromide [high-quality print] for the photobook, was definitely the best photo.

It was a photo that confirmed the existence of the word ‘best cut’.

Everyone was comfortable and looked happy without missing a single person.

‘The sea is so beautiful, I hope we can come again next time…. I think that’s what we were talking about.’

A satisfied smile appeared on Do-jae’s face as he looked at the photo.

“It’s really good.”

“Shouldn’t we put this bromide on the living room wall? It turned out so well?”

Following Gyu-sung’s comment, Woo-cheol asked.

Gi-jun said that he had already ordered a frame as if he had been thinking about it.

“As expected, Gi-jun hyung [older brother/male friend]! He doesn’t miss things like this!”

Gi-jun smiled lightly at Woo-cheol’s words.

The last photo of the photobook was of the members’ backs.

The members’ backs, dyed in the sunset, looked so strong that they could walk to the end of the world.

It was a photo with a strangely touching feeling.

As if Do-jae wasn’t the only one feeling it, the members stared at the photo without saying a word for a while.

“I think I know what it means for a back to speak.”

After a while.

When Gi-jun commented in a calm tone, the members nodded in unison.

They just hoped that the fans would look at it with the same eyes.

***

A few days later.

On the way back to Seoul after finishing the stage for the 30th anniversary event of a local broadcasting station.

The members were focused on the monitor screen installed in the middle of the van.

“I wondered if I had just installed it and wasted money, but I’m using it like this.”

Jeong Gil-ju said while driving on the highway.

This was because they usually fell asleep or were busy looking at their phones, so they didn’t have time to watch the TV installed in the van.

But today, there was a broadcast that all the members had to watch together.

“Hyung [older brother/male friend]. You can’t want to see it too much. You have to focus on driving.”

Jeong Gil-ju joked that he had eyes on the back of his head at Heung-min’s concern.

“Wow, it’s starting now!”

Louie shouted at that time.

After the commercials, the drama was starting.

Today was the first broadcast day of .

Louie seemed even more excited to be watching the drama with the members, which he would have usually watched alone on his phone.

“I hope it’s fun.”

“Yeah…. I don’t really watch dramas.”

Even so, Heung-min watched the screen with interested eyes.

From what they had roughly heard, the OST song sung by MOST was scheduled to come out from the first episode.

The song was quite good even for an OST.

The members worked hard on the recording as if it were their own album, and they were excited about how it would feel when the song came out in the drama as it was their first OST.

Before it even started, the drama was progressing at a rapid pace.

was a romantic comedy about a lawyer male lead and a prosecutor female lead who were like enemies, trying to prevent their respective mothers and fathers from remarrying, trying not to become a family, but rather the two of them forming a family and becoming one family.

How the two unique male and female leads would fall in love, what would happen to their parents’ affairs…….

It was arousing numerous curiosities and receiving a lot of anticipation from many people from the trailer.

‘Come to think of it, actor Park Seung-ho…. He’s playing a lawyer role.’

Thinking it was a strange coincidence, Do-jae focused on the TV screen.

―Is this man crazy!

―Are you crazy, human?!

The scenes of the two men and women causing a commotion and bickering were very comical.

The actors’ passionate performances unfolded.

Louie laughed out loud, and Gyu-sung, Heung-min, and Gi-jun, who weren’t very interested, were gradually focusing.

‘It’s definitely fun.’

It was when Do-jae also thought it was fun.

The female lead, who was running away from the male lead, was eventually caught by the male lead, and at that moment, the female lead turned around and the two people’s faces got closer.

And MOST’s OST flowed out.

Woo-cheol’s brows narrowed as he looked back and forth between his phone and the TV screen, checking the internet reactions.

―You’re the sunshine
