Save a Failed Idol’s Life

Chapter 171:

[Bravo Solo Life 20211223 – Preview (Guest: Floss Lee Hwijin)]

It’s finally here! The thumbnail was full of Christmas vibes, as expected from the special episode that would light up Christmas Eve.

It had been a hectic year, with both good and bad things happening, so I hoped to spend the end of the year peacefully.

I was curious to see how well my baby’s end-of-the-year special turned out, but as soon as I played it, I frowned.

‘What the hell… Is it really Climax?’

I had a bad feeling when I heard their schedules overlapped. But I didn’t expect them to be paired up with the same agency’s troublemaker even in the observational reality show where they appeared solo.

In the Floss fandom, Climax was the kind of agency’s troublemaker who we would be lucky if he didn’t hold back our boys.

There had been many conflicts over schedules, songs, and activities, but lately, there had been more joint schedules, so I tried to look at him more favorably.

Until I heard the news of their participation in ‘Boys Be Ambitious’.

I didn’t understand why Floss, the undisputed top group, would join a competition program where they had more to lose than to gain, and compete with groups that were not even on their level.

Everyone was on edge from the start.

It was a relief that they won the first mission by an overwhelming margin, but the fandom was turned upside down by the news of Chanhyung and Yu-geon’s hiatus right after.

[Chanhyung]

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join the stage schedule for a while due to health issues(??????????? ) I’ll recover quickly and come back with a healthy look!

At least Chanhyung posted a selfie showing off his ankle cast as if it was a glorious medal, full of mischief.

Yu-geon only left a short message without a photo, so everyone was very worried.

[Yu-geon]

I have to stop my activities for a while due to health problems. I’ll try my best to come back with a better look. Thank you.

?????

I wondered what was wrong with him. Was he physically sick like Chanhyung, or was there another problem? Unlike Chanhyung, who still did some radio broadcasts, Yu-geon disappeared from all activities without leaving any hint.

[Cast Announcement]

‘Kang Yu-geon’s Eye-Listening Radio’ Cast Change Notice

Hello, this is the manager of NBS Radio Channel, your friend in everyday life.

Due to personal reasons of the cast, ‘Kang Yu-geon’s Eye-Listening Radio’ will be continued by Boom Boom Box’s Cho Shinju.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the cast change.

?????

He also left the program he was a regular on without any detailed announcement. He vanished without any promise of when he would return, and the lead vocal and the de facto center faced complaints and criticisms from everywhere.

[- YutoTwit^^ How many times has he punked already ?????]

[There was a rumor that it was not ??? who was supposed to go out for the cooking show, but ??? who made ??? drop out.]

[Stop spreading rumors. It’s a nuisance to other groups too.]

[It’s not a rumor. (link) Go and see the audience review before you shield.]

[Look at them running away when you bring evidence. Are you a fan of that group?????]

[- When they debuted, you shielded them so much for having a rebellious personality, and now look at what they’re doing.]

[I wish they would just kick him out. He says he doesn’t want to do activities, but the zoomers spend a lot of money on him.]

[There’s no chance of that happening. The 3040 fandom is holding on to ???^^]

[- If you don’t want to do activities, why don’t you give up your spot to someone who does? Are you proud of being thoughtless?]

[He’s causing trouble for the other members too.]

[He should have gone solo in the first place.]

[- They debuted him because he was popular, but he can’t even do the basics??]

[You’re better off with ??? than your own group. Don’t lecture me.]

[So what if he has skills? He’s just being a jerk???? Just keep deluding yourself.]

Because of his usual attitude, Yu-geon attracted all kinds of haters, and Chanhyung was glad that he got away with little criticism.

In the meantime, they lost the first place in the second mission to Climax, and he had to hear all kinds of things. He still felt bitter thinking about it.

[- The Bobbyam fans only see what they want to see. They were so delusional, but as soon as the fan vote was removed from the judging, they fell from the first place????????]

[- They were saying that it’s already decided that Floss will win, but they got beaten by Mangdol in the second mission???]

[?? had poor sales when they debuted, but they’re not as bad as Mangdol these days, right?]

[They were making such a fuss when the lineup was announced and there was no group to rival Floss, but now they’re saying that Climax is not Mangdol?????? I can smell the jealousy from here.]

The member who used to brighten up the mood with his lively personality got injured, the member who often got bad mouthed for being irresponsible went silent,

and thanks to the camaraderie between the members, Climax, who he was starting to like, turned against them again.

Even in this turmoil, Hwijin was the only one who kept his cool, looking like a superhuman.

‘They’re going to appear with Climax again?’

What the hell are they talking about…. He couldn’t help but be shocked as he watched the trailer with empty eyes.

‘This is funny.’

It didn’t seem like they put much effort into the editing, but the situation was so absurd that it made him laugh.

[Are you trying to burn something weird in the kitchen again?]

[A secret and thrilling plan to raid Climax’s dorm]

[It’s not just burning.]

[Why on earth???]

[Woof-! Woof, rrrrrr, woof woof-!]

[Is that fire over there?]

[Huh?]

[]

[The first sight in his life that he saw after 13 years of debut]

[We replaced the footage with a screen for the sake of Cheon Ise’s rights.]

[(Fireworks exploding in the night sky and cheerful marching music BGM)]

[They’re all sitting quietly on the sofa.]

[(A cat and a dog shaking their bodies)]

[(Voice distortion) Ha… Is this really a housewarming situation… I think we’d be more calm if a robber came into our dorm…]

[We intended to be a little early Santa.]

[But now we… lit a fire that wasn’t in the viewers’ hearts…]

[We’ll replace it with a data screen to make up for the solemn atmosphere.]

[(Night view with fireworks exploding splendidly)]

[We’re really close. We’ll show you how we relax and have a good time today.]

[(Mosaic-processed fried glass noodles)]

[(A doll with only half of its face showing between the cushions)]

?

?

?

The last weird doll. It wasn’t a cursed doll, but I couldn’t help but laugh when I zoomed in on the one stuck in the cushion gap, even if I didn’t like the climax.

Are you crazy? I have to watch this live. Of course, I was going to watch it even if it wasn’t a preview, but all the expectations I had pretended not to have collapsed.

I knew the entertainment would be good because the climax atmosphere was so close to the tense tension during the crisis collaboration.

I didn’t expect to be drawn in so thrillingly by the preview alone.

I was going to just watch the preview and turn it off, but in the blink of an eye, I ended up watching the crisis commercial that followed automatically.

‘I’m hurt.’

There are members who proudly promote themselves as close friends within Floss. But they weren’t this close.

I thought they could imitate this level if they had a script in front of the climax.

I felt weird. The climax should have stayed as a pebble that kept grabbing Floss’s bottom to prevent them from taking away the spotlight from Floss.

I felt like looking for more of the group that I had no reason to watch except for being forced to watch because of the overlapping appearances.

Somehow, Hwijin and Naru looked more comfortable than when they did Floss’s solo entertainment.

‘What a stupid thought.’

How can I take my eyes off the main thing in front of me? My head must have gone wrong with a moment of fun.

Let’s refresh the main news.

I turned off the channel where the preview was uploaded and, as always, logged into Entertainment Talk Talk, where entertainment news came up 24 hours a day, and a sentence that shouldn’t have been there came into my eyes.

?????

Real-time 1st

[We accuse a member of a popular 9-member idol group of school violence.] (+999)

?????

What is this? The shock I received in a good way a while ago was erased from my head and my eyes turned black.

“…Ise, are you…?”

In the dark dawn. As soon as I checked the preview that came up at midnight, I fell asleep and opened my eyes to the low voice ringing in the darkness.

“Hmm…”

After living for a thousand years, I became a person who slept a lot in the morning and couldn’t wake up easily once I fell asleep, so my head woke up vaguely, but my eyelids didn’t open easily.

“Get up. I think it’s better to check it out now…”

A calm but low voice. I knew who it was in my sleep, but I still couldn’t shake off the drowsiness and opened my eyes with a start.

“What is it, what’s going on…”

What I saw in front of my barely opened eyes was…

“Ah, huaaaah-!”

?

The protagonist with a mysterious gaze that seemed to pierce through everything. Seumkyeong… no, it was Kyunghwa.

“What, what are you so surprised about? I woke you up carefully so you wouldn’t be startled.”

Kyunghwa, who was rather startled, looked down at me while trying to calm his pounding chest.

“Ah, no, no… I was just surprised because you suddenly appeared in the dark.”

I didn’t want to tell him that I had a nightmare about Seumkyeong, so I changed the subject.

“What’s going on so early in the morning? It’s not even 3 o’clock yet.”

The wake-up time for tomorrow’s rehearsal was 6 o’clock. It was time to sleep for the sake of my stamina, but what on earth was going on… I got up from the bed with a lot of tension and followed Kyunghwa to the living room.

Contrary to what I expected, the light was off, and Yi-jun was staring at his laptop with a very serious expression, unlike usual.

“What’s going on, why are you out too?”

I wondered if I had unknowingly caused some trouble with these guys. My heart sank.

No way… There’s nothing I could have done wrong at this point, what is it?

I squinted my eyes and looked at the words on the screen. There was a sentence that was equivalent to a death sentence for an idol on the white background.

[We expose the school violence of a 9-member popular idol group.] (+999)

“What is this?”

As I asked with a sudden surge of alertness, Kyunghwa shook his head and clicked on the post to show me in detail.

[Hello, I am a graduate of ?? middle school who spent my school days with a popular idol member. It’s been several years since then, but I’m still suffering from trauma without receiving a single apology. On the other hand, I think it’s unfair that the idol member who was the perpetrator is loved as if nothing happened, so I decided to write this expose.]

It’s different if it’s a 9-member group with only Floss, but if it’s a 9-member ‘popular’ idol group, then it’s a different story.

‘Which one is it?’

I felt a headache coming on and scrolled down.
