Entertainment Life With A Camera

Chapter 147:

Chapter 147

Fanfic?

“The comments are coming up fast.”

“Okay, everyone, please introduce yourselves.”

“Let’s start with our DJ.”

Min Changjo smiled playfully at Park Seodam. Park Seodam cleared his throat and flashed a smile at the camera. He blinked his eyes exaggeratedly.

“Hello! I’m Seodam, the youngest and most loved member of Awi and the DJ of ‘Boara’.”

“Wow, our maknae is doing great.”

Park Jinhyuk chimed in. Min Changjo raised the drink in front of him high in the air. It was like a scene from a movie.

“That’s right. We’re getting a lot of love. These drinks were bought by these people. Even for the staff.”

“Please take good care of our kid.”

“Yes, of course.”

Min Changjo and Lee Juhyuk bowed to each other. Park Seodam suddenly felt embarrassed and covered his face with his hands. The chat was flooded with ㅋㅋㅋ.

“Alright, then let’s continue with the introductions.”

“Yes, hello, I’m Juhyuk, the leader.”

“Jinhyuk here.”

“Hyeon here.”

Unlike Park Seodam who showed all kinds of cuteness, the members answered with stiff expressions and business-like tones. Park Seodam frowned.

“Hey, hyungs, don’t joke around.”

“Yes! I’m Juhyuk, the absolute leader of Awi!”

Lee Juhyuk clapped his hands and changed his attitude. He smiled at the camera.

“I’m Jinhyuk, the charismatic rapper of Awi who knows nothing.”

“I’m Hyeon, the only sane one in Awi.”

“Nah, you’re not sane. You’re also crazy in your own way.”

“That’s right. You’re 360 degrees crazy but you don’t show it.”

Kim Hyeon’s words made everyone cheer. Kim Hyeon shrugged his shoulders with a shameless expression. Min Changjo laughed.

“You guys should introduce yourselves first and then make a friendly agreement.”

“Yes! I’ve been waiting for this. I’m Juyoung, the cleanest guy and the first choice for a roommate in Awi!”

“Honestly, without me, the members wouldn’t be this close. Right? I’m Taewoong, the mood maker and vitamin of Awi.”

Then it was Ian’s turn.

“Hello, I’m Ian, the visual mebo of Awi who saves the world with his good looks.”

“I agree.”

“Naeuri!”

Ian smiled slyly at the camera and Awi members shouted loudly.

Min Changjo felt like he was already drained.

“Wow, you guys are so active that I don’t have time to say anything. What do you think, Seodam?”

“This is our daily life… Changjo, you should just let it go at times like this.”

“Is that so? It’s easier for me if I just go with the flow.”

Min Changjo joked.

“There are a lot of questions from the introduction. First, Juhyuk, what do you mean by absolute power? Do you usually… boss around the members?”

“Of course. I’m a very… scary person.”

Lee Juhyuk glared at the camera and made a fierce expression. The members shrank their bodies and exaggerated their reactions. But Lee Juhyuk had a naturally gentle face so he didn’t look intimidating.

“That’s right, Juhyuk hyung is scary when he gets angry.”

“One time, Juhyuk hyung gathered us and made us play badda…”

“Hey hey hey Juyoung, badda is too much.”

Lee Juhyuk waved his hands anxiously. The members leaned back and relaxed their bodies.

“Just kidding, there’s no leader like Juhyuk hyung. We all listen to him well.”

“Now that I think about it, it’s weird… We always follow what Juhyuk hyung says.”

“Yeah. There’s something irresistible about him. Is this what they call soft charisma?”

-He was actually a black mage who controlled Awi

-Black mageㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Minister of Magic is here!

The members laughed at the black mage reaction. They could see the viewers’ responses in real time through the monitor on the desk.

“Now, Park Jinhyuk, what does it mean that you’re a rapper but you know nothing?”

“They all say that I’m clueless… They always say ‘Jinhyuk hyung doesn’t know anything!’ So that’s why I’m you know nothing.”

“But you’re known as a spoiler fairy to the fans. You lost the trust of the members but it’s okay if the fans like it. Right?”

Park Jinhyuk drooped his shoulders and said. Park Seodam patted his shoulder.

“Next, Juyoung. First choice for a roommate, is that recognized by the members? Or is it just your own delusion?”

“No, it’s true. We always try to room with Juyoung when we go on tour.”

Ian answered.

“It was a total war zone back then. Juyeong couldn’t stand the sight of his messy space, so he cleaned up our stuff too.”

“I have a single room, but I still miss Juyeong hyung’s tidiness.”

“Come to think of it, don’t we have to switch rooms once?”

“Yeah. Let’s switch. Let’s have a coup d’etat.”

The single room members, Lee Joo-hyuk and Park Seo-dam, and the rest of the members except Ian jumped up.

“Hey, we already have a lot of stuff in our places, why do we have to change?”

“I object!”

‘Boara’ was a radio with a solo channel on the portal site, so it wasn’t bound by the order. So the end time varied depending on the guest. Guests like Awi who had a lot of stories to tell ended relatively late.

Min Chang-jo watched the Awi members chatting with each other and thought, ‘I’m going to be late today…’

“Good. You all have very clear characters. Then shall we read the questions that came in?”

Since the guest was Awi, Min Chang-jo was the only one who could ask questions. When A1S came out, Park Seo-dam asked a lot of questions, so Min Chang-jo turned over the script without any complaints.

“You had your first showcase with an audience in months after social distancing was implemented, right?”

“That’s right.”

“I was personally very envious when I heard the news. How did you feel at that time?”

The members looked dazed because of their overflowing emotions. The scene of that time was still vivid in their minds.

“We have something like that. You might empathize with us, Mr. Chang-jo. We’ve been performing without fans for a long time, right? It was so hard.”

“That’s right. Mr. Kim Hee-sang said that if there is even one person who likes us, we should keep performing, but that one person was desperate for us.”

“When we saw the fans for the first time in a long time at the showcase. Wow, they came and cheered for us. We realized that we took them for granted and thought again.”

Min Chang-jo nodded at Lee Joo-hyuk, Ian, and Kim Hyun’s words. Then Jo Tae-woong and Park Seo-dam said.

“Actually, we didn’t have any events except for music shows, right? So we were more thirsty for cheering when we went on stage and really… I almost cried.”

“Did you hear the fans screaming backstage? Wow, they really came. They liked it and everything. I’ll never forget that stage until I die. It was really great.”

The chat room became a sea of tears. Min Chang-jo also felt sad at their words.

“We have something like that. ‘Our group is still loved a lot.’ That’s what we can feel when we see the audience. They watch us and cheer for us and there’s nothing like that these days.”

“That’s right. When the fans cheer for us on stage, we feel more energized and feel it better? It touches our skin.”

Park Jin-hyuk and Kim Joo-young also said a word. Min Chang-jo recited the writer’s message that appeared on the prompter.

“But you’re known to surf the web a lot. These days, the response is good, and there are a lot of articles pouring out, so you must feel it a lot.”

“That’s really something to be thankful for, but the internet reaction and seeing it with your own eyes are very different.”

“That’s right, they’re very different. I got a question while surfing the web… Do any of you read fanfics?”

“Fanfics?”

The members looked at each other. The chat room that was a sea of tears quickly turned into anger.

-No way

-Who asked thatㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Why did you choose that question who is the writerㅡㅡ

-Lolololololol

Is that fanfic what I think it is? I didn’t expect such a question. Ian looked gloomy. Jo Tae-woong, who was sitting next to Ian, tilted his head.

“The chat room is on fire right now. Are we not supposed to know?”

“I know that! Possession stories!”

Kim Joo-young smiled brightly and said.

-Lolololololol

-Why do you know that

-I’m dying of secondhand embarrassment lololol

-Thank goodness they don’t know anything else lolol

“Are there more things besides possession stories?”

“What is it?”

The members leaned their faces close to the monitor. They wouldn’t want to know in detail. The chat room expressed Ian’s feelings.

-No!

-Someone, someone made a fanfic sound

-There must be a reason for this

-Someone take away Awi’s smartphone

Why did he do the beeper, business gay performance to get popular when he was Kim Yong-min. Jin said in an interesting voice.

[Did you look it up?]

‘Yeah. TA Media made me do it so disgustingly.’

They hugged each other with their arms crossed as a basic, and even played the pepero game and pretended to make a mistake and kissed each other. Why did they make me do such things? I was curious and searched for it.

‘But the funny thing is, Diamond was so deep that there was only one or two posts when I searched for it.’

Later, when he went on ‘Project Idol’, the posts exploded in a bad way. Ian sighed softly.

[They did their best, though.]

‘They had to do that, at least. They were losers.’

[Well…]

Of course, they did everything they were told to do, hoping to get some attention since their group was not popular. Ian tried to hide his frowning expression.

‘Jo Tae-woong, are you going to search that when you get home?’

[Leave him alone. He won’t find anything even if he searches. You know how they censor things these days.]

Ian narrowed his eyes as he saw Jo Tae-woong’s meaningful look. As Jin said, those underground cultures probably twisted their names to avoid the search engines.

“Wow, the public sentiment is harsh. Let’s move on to another topic. What do you want to do when the coronavirus is over?”

“Wait a minute… Please answer this at the same time. Seo-dam, give us a signal.”

“One, two!”

“Concert!”

The members shouted in unison and exclaimed as they fell back.

“Our teamwork is still alive.”

“As expected, we trusted each other!”

They reached out their hands and high-fived each other. Min Chang-jo laughed as he saw the festive atmosphere change in an instant. He had a feeling that he would get off work later than he thought.

“Actually, we do have a concert planned… but it’s online.”

Awi had a concert scheduled for January, but it was going to be online in case of a possible outbreak.

“We need to perform at a venue. The comeback showcase was so touching that we might cry if we have a concert.”

“Right.”

The members reminisced about the comeback showcase and were immersed in the afterglow.

“It’s not easy to match like this, but you guys have amazing teamwork.”

Min Chang-jo looked at Awi members with envy.

The radio show was conducted flexibly by mixing the questions prepared by the writer and the questions posted on the chat room. After chatting for a while, the atmosphere calmed down a bit and Min Chang-jo threw a question that caught his eye on the chat room.

“Now, we have another question. Seo-dam, please read this.”

“Oh, there’s a question for Ian hyung. What does idol Awi and actor Choi Ian mean to Choi Ian?”

The members fixed their eyes on Ian with curiosity.
