Chapter 423:
“OMG! We’re number one everywhere!”
“There are so many articles about us!”
This was a familiar scene for superstar Seo-jun, who had made Korea go wild several times, but it was a wonder for Blue Moon, who debuted last year.
They all stared at their phones with messy hair and wrinkled pajamas.
Seo-jun also had his phone in his hand, but for a different reason.
He was busy replying to the messages from his acquaintances who were surprised by his appearance in the music video.
The messages that arrived from actors, directors, writers, and friends from both domestic and overseas were full of astonishment.
Some people asked him to send them pictures, so Seo-jun sent them the photos he had taken before.‘I guess the ones I haven\'t sent yet are still sleeping.’
Seo-jun smiled as he thought of Ji-seok hyung and Da-jin hyung, his childhood friends who would probably contact him as soon as they woke up.
-Kim Joo-kyung: Oh my god…
-Kang Jae-han: So that\'s why you went with Ee-deun and Eun-sung!
-Han Jinho: Blue hair! I want to try it too!!
-Yang Ju-hee: You wouldn\'t suit it.
-Jeon Seong-min: LOL
-Park Si-young: LOL
Looking at the time of the messages, it seemed like they had watched the music video and fallen asleep after Seo-jun did.
His friends from Mirae Arts High School were worried about Park Ee-deun and Jung Eun-sung, who became close with them through the joint music class, so they watched the music video early in the morning and sent him messages.
Seo-jun looked away from his phone and looked around the living room.
The Blue Moon members were still looking at their phones with excited faces.
Seo-jun shrugged his shoulders and decided to wash up first.
“I’ll go wash up first.”
“Okay-”
Park Ee-deun and Kim Si-hoon waved their hands. Seo-jun smiled and headed to the bathroom.
“Wow… There are so many articles. I don\'t think there were this many when we won the rookie award…”
Kim Si-hoon, who didn\'t care about his messy hair, said as he looked at his phone. Park Ee-deun, who also had a disheveled hair, nodded his eyes wide.
“I know, right? It\'s so amazing to see our name here.”
“There are also a lot of comments.”
Their hair was a mess, but their eyes were sparkling.
They had woken up from their heavy sleep because of the articles that filled the entertainment section and the comments that were more than usual.
“Hyung hyung, look at this.”
Park Ee-deun showed Kim Si-hoon a comment. Kim Si-hoon chuckled as he saw the phone screen.
-I got bombarded with messages from my friends since dawn, and the first message I saw was [Seo-jun is an idol now!]. The articles also had similar titles, so I literally jumped out of bed LOL. I\'m not the type to wake up at this hour LOL. I\'m wide awake now LOL.
=222 I was so shocked that I almost fell off the bed;;;
=333 I woke up and saw my actor in a music video ㄷㄷㄷ
=444 I thought it was April Fools;;;
There were also many people who were surprised at dawn and people who were shocked when they woke up in the morning.
The articles about the music video and the music show appearance were mixed up, and some articles didn\'t mention Blue Moon\'s name, so there were people who didn\'t know what was going on.
-Is Seo-jun an idol now??
=There are cases where actors become singers, but… it\'s surprising that Seo-jun does that;;;
=No no, he just participated in a music video of an idol group from the same agency. He also seems to appear on a music show while he\'s at it.
-Why is Seo-jun on a music show???
=222 I can\'t believe it even after seeing it. Is this Seo-jun\'s first time on a music show?
=Wasn\'t there a time when BrBl and he appeared on a radio show when I was five or six?
=Yeah, that\'s where the angel picture came from.
The comments of the surprised people were amusing. Park Ee-deun and Kim Si-hoon laughed as they read down the other comments.
“How can the YouTube views go up so much in just a few hours?”
“Well, ahem, there might be some people who watch it repeatedly.”
Baek Yi-hyun, who was only looking at the music video screen on YouTube, answered Jung Eun-sung, who had just woken up and had a hoarse voice.
As Jung Eun-sung said, there were many comments saying that they watched it several times.
Choi Jae-won also added.
“There might be some people who saw it for the first time in the morning.”
The fans of Seo-jun who were not interested in the Blue Moon music video release or the general public would have been surprised by the news that filled the internet from the morning and watched the music video once.
“But isn\'t it too much to be released at night?”
“It\'s night for us, but it\'s daytime in America. And it might be a time when people are active in other countries.”
The Blue Moon members had exclamation marks over their heads at Seo-jun\'s words, who came out with a towel wrapped around his wet blue hair.
“That\'s right! Seo-jun has a lot of foreign fans, right?”
“Seo-jun\'s fans must have seen it.”
Then they understood this endless number of views. They all opened their eyes wide like rabbits and nodded their heads. Seo-jun smiled and opened his mouth.
“Don\'t you guys have to wash up now?”
“Oh, right.”
Choi Jae-won got up from his seat first, leaving his phone behind. The other members were still looking at their phones in their seats. Judging by their natural movements, there seemed to be an order to wash up.
‘Well, it\'s a group life.’
It was a bit strange for Seo-jun, who was working alone.
“Seo-jun, look at this. Your fans seem to be very surprised too.”
“Yeah?”
Seo-jun smiled and walked towards Park Ee-deun, following his gesture.
Looking at the living room scene, seo-jun looked like just another member of the group.
***
“Hyung, why are we doing a pre-recorded show?”
Seo-jun and the Blue Moon members also listened to Choi Jae-won\'s question.
The manager of Blue Moon, who was sitting in the driver\'s seat, answered.
“It\'s a sudden change, so it\'s hard to fit it in the live broadcast time, and safety is also important, so we decided to do a pre-recorded show to make it easier to manage. Besides, the applications for the music show audience are usually done a few days before the broadcast, but our schedule changed before that, so there won\'t be any Blue Moon fans who applied for it.”
“Seo-jun\'s fans will also be disappointed.”
Seo-jun and Blue Moon nodded at Ahn Da Ho\'s words that followed.
“If it\'s a pre-recorded show, we can record it separately, so we can also apply for the audience separately and we only have to manage it then, so it\'s safer. And since it\'s a recorded broadcast, the station can also put it in any time slot they want.”
“I see.”
“Don\'t worry about it and finish your practice well today. Don\'t work too hard, you have to perform for three days starting tomorrow.”
“Yes!”
“Got it!”
Seo-jun and Blue Moon answered cheerfully to the manager\'s words.

-400 people… 400 people… (crying according to the number of pre-recorded audience)
=It\'s not even 400 people. Half of them are Blue Moon fansㅠ
=200 people… 200 people… (crying according to the number of pre-recorded audience)
=I\'m grateful that they gave us half of the seats since it\'s Blue Moon\'s song… butㅋㅋ there are so many Sproutsㅋㅋ I can only laughㅋㅋ
-Isn\'t it more fierce than a fan meeting by the number of people?;;;
=When will Seo-jun have another fan meeting?ㅠㅠ
=He will somedayㅠ
-There are only three chances! I hope I can get out of the unlucky fandom!!
=22 Please let me win at least one…! I want to see Seo-jun with blue hairㅠㅠ
-But how does the pre-recorded show work?
=22 It\'s my first time for a music show tooㅠㅠ
=333 It\'s my first time for fangirling tooㅜㅜ
The [Sprouts] chat room was buzzing with sprouts who had fangirled idols before, sprouts who had only fangirled actors, and sprouts who had their first fangirling experience with Seo-jun.
-Will Seo-jun come out on the way to work for Music Bank?
=222 I want to go there even if I don\'t get selected…
=I want to see him in real life with blue hairㅠㅠ
=There was an announcement that they won\'t do it because there might be too many people.
=Ah… Well, there will be other idol fans too… It would be crazy.
-I didn\'t know we had to use the light stick here too!
=It feels like yesterday when we used it at the Cannes Film Festival!!
=This time, I\'m going to capture the scenes from the music video and put them in the sprout stick.
=I like blue Seo-jun tooㅠㅠ
=I wish he gave us another profile picture! And a photobook!
-But since he\'s doing a music show, don\'t you think there will be a photo card of Seo-jun in the Blue Moon album?
=Then I would buy the Blue Moon album!
=22 I bought the song because I liked it, but I would buy the album too!
“Photo card?”
“Yes.”
The team leader scratched his chin.
The employee\'s eyes sparkled.
“We put a random photo card of actor Lee Seo-jun in the album, just like Blue Moon. With the number of fans of actor Lee Seo-jun, the album will sell a lot.”
“We’ll also get a lot of hate for that.”
Even if they were from the same agency and friends, they were still strangers.
‘Besides, even if it\'s common in the idol side, it\'s rare in the actor side…’
The team leader crossed his arms and the employee spoke enthusiastically.
“But it\'s not like there\'s nothing like that. There are some places where they give you a random photo card when you buy an advertisement product that has an actor as a model.”
“That\'s true.”
The team leader had also seen ads like ‘If you buy pizza, we’ll give you one of the random photo cards’, and Brown Black, white, and Red Crown also did such ads often.
“But those are products.”
You can eat pizza and use cosmetics, but what about albums?
There were quite a few stories about idol fans having trouble with them, but it was obvious what actor fans would think.
“They’ll say we’re trying to increase the sales of Blue Moon\'s album.”
The employee looked disappointed at the team leader\'s negative reaction to the photo card. The team leader smiled slightly and opened his mouth.
“I’ll talk to team leader 2 first. Seo-jun is under his team.”
“…Yes!”
The team leader headed straight to Ahn Da Ho, who would be in team 2’s office.
“Photo card?”
“Yeah. I think Seo-jun\'s fans would like it too.”
“Putting it randomly is a bit…”
Ahn Da Ho made a subtle expression and the team leader raised his hand.
“Even if we put it randomly for Blue Moon, we’re thinking of putting all of Seo-jun\'s pictures. Then they only have to buy one album and Blue Moon fans can share their photo cards with Seo-jun\'s fans.”
Hmm.
Ahn Da Ho opened his mouth after thinking for a while.
“That might conflict with our plan, so we need to think about it more.”
“Plan? What plan?”
“Seo-jun will be an adult next year.”
The team leader nodded at Ahn Da Ho\'s words. There was less than a year left now.
“The fans always do something nice for Seo-jun on his birthday, so we thought we’d make a photobook for him on his birthday. We’ll keep the cost as low as possible.”
“Photobook?”
The team leader widened his eyes and Ahn Da Ho smiled and continued. Even in team 2, everyone was surprised when that idea came up for the first time.
“Yes. A photobook that collects pictures from Seo-jun\'s first appearance in a baby formula CF to his child actor days before he became an adult. We’re planning to focus on the pictures that haven\'t been released and also include some of the pictures that have been released, so if there are a lot of pages, we might divide it into several volumes.”
“Wow…”
“We’re also planning to take proper pictures of him in the studio for this ‘Blue Moon’ and put them in… so we need to think more about the photo card. Oh, please keep this a secret. Only our team 2 knows about this.”
The team leader nodded with a surprised face at Ahn Da Ho\'s words.
‘A photobook that collects his child actor days.’
It wouldn\'t be enough to fill one volume with just one or two works, or minor child roles. Probably only actor Lee Seo-jun, who had been active and brilliant since his child actor days, could make such a photobook.
‘And it would be a commemoration since he won\'t be a child actor anymore from next year.’
The team leader admired team 2’s idea and left the team 2 office. Suddenly, brown Black, who would celebrate their 20th anniversary soon, came to his mind.
“…Should we make one too?”

4:55 p.m.
Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na looked at their phones with nervous faces.
“It\'s not 5 o’clock yet, right?”
“No. There are five minutes left.”
It was the day of the pre-recorded show tomorrow, so Cocoa Entertainment said they would let them know the results of the pre-recorded show application as soon as possible.
That was 5 p.m. So they were waiting for the text message in Lim Ye-na\'s studio apartment from 4:30 p.m.
They were also expecting the results of MBS’s Music Core and SBC’s Popular Music, which they applied for along with Music Bank\'s pre-recorded show application, to come out by today.
On the TV next to them, blue Moon\'s music video was playing.
And five minutes passed.
Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na looked at their silent phones without breathing or blinking.
Ding-
Ding-
!!
They both picked up their phones and looked at the screen.
Their hearts were pounding as if they were going to jump out of their mouths.
[KBC Music Bank Pre-recorded Show Audience Guide]
“Wow!!”
Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na raised both arms and shouted in joy.
***
There was joy and sorrow in both [Sprouts] and Blue Moon\'s fan cafe.
There were more people who were sad because it was only 200 people each.
Blue Moon still had another music show, but Seo-jun had this week as his start and end.
-Wonㅠㅠㅠ!! The pre-recorded show time is during work hours, but… I\'m going! I’ll go!
=Wow!! Congratulations.
=I\'m jealousㅠㅠ
-Ah… I didn\'t get itㅠㅠ They said they won\'t do it on the way to work, right?
=Yesㅠㅠㅠ
=What about on the way back?ㅠㅠ
=They said they won\'t do that eitherㅠㅠ
-Idols are lucky to have many chances to see their facesㅜㅜ
=It would be hard for someone as popular as Seo-junㅠ
=That\'s true. I guess I’ll just watch the live broadcast.
-Huh. There\'s a suspicion of buying Blue Moon\'s songs;;;
=…What??
