“Aaaahhh!”

“Do-Wook!”

“I love you KK!”

“Continue your activities!!!”

“Taehyung, just look here! “Look!”

SVS ‘Life Song’ on stage. For the pre-recording of the last stage of this regular album, fans each shouted at the KK members who were standing in a large formation on stage.

Today, a large number of KK’s fans filled all 600 seats in the public hall where the ‘Life Song’ program was held.

It was Do Ra-hee, assistant manager of the fan-marketing team, who had been busy all day checking the number of 600 fans who had lined up since dawn and managing them.

As before, assistant manager Do Ra-hee did not manage it directly, but through KK’s fan manager, but it was true that there were so many people that people were nervous because they didn’t know what kind of accident might happen. I was doing my best because I didn’t want to cause anything unpleasant at the end of the activity.

“Do not make personal comments!”

The fan manager, who received instructions from Assistant Manager Do Ra-hee, shouted to the fans.

Even though the stage has started, if you say a personal comment like ‘Who is this please look here’ instead of cheering, your voice will be included in KK’s song. It was a huge disruption. Even though KK’s stage was pre-recorded, it was still live.

The members also watched the staff and signaled to the fans to be quiet.

When Do-wook, who was standing still, lifted his index finger and put it to his mouth, the room suddenly became quiet.

Dowook picked up the microphone and spoke in a low voice.

“everyone. Thank you so much for coming. “You must have worked hard since the morning… Will you enjoy our performance together?”

“yes!”

“yes-!”

“I love you Dowook!!!”

Fans responded in unison. After that, a loud fan appeared again.

“If you shout like that, my throat hurts. “We’re going to perform on stage now, so what if my neck hurts while cheering?”

“It’s okay!”

Laughter erupted in the hall as Dowook’s enthusiastic fan answered that he was okay in a hoarse voice similar to that of the legendary pterodactyl. The members also smiled and shook their heads as if they couldn’t stop him.

The worry that Do-wook’s words would be useless if he continued like that was short-lived. Soon, Dowook put his index finger to his mouth again with a soft smile.

Then, the enthusiastic fan looked as if his heart had stopped on the spot, held his chest, and closed his mouth.

At a time when 600 fans were melting under Do-wook’s soft smile, PD Hyun Joo-hyuk shouted.

“Let’s go!”

KK’s stage has begun.

The first stage was ‘Continue’.

With the magnificent sound, the KK members jumped up at the same time.

“Kyaahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!”

The ear-piercing shouts felt like part of the sound of ‘Continue’.

The members who jumped high landed at the same time and started singing. The KK members performed the song without any problem and continued singing smoothly on a stage that seemed breathtaking just by looking at it.

This has already been the hundreds of performances since practice. There was nothing rough about the KK members.

As Jeong Yoon-gi, Kim Won, and Seok Ji-hoon crouched down, Do-wook ran from the end of the stage and jumped over them.

The choreography of ‘Continue’ was not difficult for no reason. There wasn’t a single action movie. When Do-wook jumped over him and handed over the microphone, Hyeong-seo Ahn, who received the microphone, coolly pulled out a high note.

“I’ll always be in your heart―――――!”

Afterwards, Dowook, holding his microphone in his hand, stood at the center and the members lined up in a triangle.

Dozens of dancers lined up behind them and a chorus played.

Dowook “Con— Con— Continue!” “We keep moving forward,” the members sang in unison.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was a magnificent song that left you in awe every time you saw it.

It was a skill developed through practice, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t difficult. When the last part of the song came, beads of sweat dripped from the members’ foreheads. However, there was still no wavering in his live voice.

“It’s a different class?”

The sound director, who was wearing earphones, took off one earphone and said to the assistant next to him. Bojo was already watching the stage, mesmerized.

“It’s like a pop singer’s visit to Korea.”

“I can’t even go on TV like that. “The sound doesn’t follow.”

Just like that, a sigh of regret flowed from the sound team.

Immediately afterwards, the members came out wearing only jackets in their ‘Continue’ outfits. The next stage was ‘Go low go high’.

“Ahh!”

“Oh mommy! “It’s really cool.”

At a time when the fans were groaning, the prelude to ‘Go low go high’ was played. Each member danced the rhythm and swayed the stage.

Jung Yoon-ki’s fast rap flowed like a storm, and Kim Won followed suit, rapping in fluent English as if delivering a heavy blow.

Next, the four vocal members paired up and sang while riding the wave. The KK members, who have a strong image of being upright, relaxed their expressions and seemed to have surrendered their bodies to the rhythm, and the debauched appearance was very sexy.

As he danced and half of his jacket came off, Seok Ji-hoon took it off and started unbuttoning it one by one. It was one of the trump cards prepared for this final stage.

Seok Ji-hoon also tried to create something of his own within the group. The ‘polite youngest member’ image was from off stage. I needed something that could appeal to fans and audiences a little more on stage.

For KK members, singing and dancing were basics. Seok Ji-hoon, who was thinking about something else, did weight training harder than anyone else.

Even though I was busy, I went to the fitness room in the Hit Entertainment building and sat on the bench press to strengthen my upper body muscles.

Seok Ji-hoon had a body that gained muscle mass just by consuming protein without doing much exercise. As expected, when I started working out in earnest, I gained muscle easily.

When I undid three buttons, my chest muscles were clearly visible through them. The camera closed up that part as if it had been waiting.

“Aaaah!!!”

“omg.”

“What a hit!!!”

“Jihoon… our Jihoon…”

Fans who were visually attacked by the youngest member Seok Jihoon’s hidden muscles covered their mouths, not knowing what to do. KK was now clearly showing the charm of a mature man.

“You go low!”

“We go high!”

With shouting voices, the six members coolly showed off spinning kicks. As his high toes came down, he took off the jacket he was buttoning up and threw it towards the camera.

The camera screen turned black and KK’s stage ended.

Everyone who saw KK’s performance that had just ended couldn’t take their eyes off him. It was a hot stage. It was so great that I wanted to capture even the sight of KK coming down the stage.

After successfully completing the performance, the members came down from the stage and fell down as soon as they came down to the back of the stage, as if their legs had lost their strength.

As Ahn Hyeong-seo sat down, Gu Cheol-min came up in surprise and checked on Ahn Hyeong-seo’s condition. But it wasn’t just Ahn Hyeong-seo. Jeong Yoon-gi was also breathing heavily, clutching the pillar at the back of the stage.

The members, who had been smiling and winking at their fans just a moment ago, shooting bullets of love and kicking around with charismatic expressions, looked incredibly helpless.

Even Do-wook, who was second to none in terms of physical strength, was breathing heavily and unable to do anything with his numb limbs.

One of the dancers next to him massaged Dowook’s arm.

Kim Won barely made it to the waiting room and lay down on the sofa. It was difficult to overcome the pressure in my chest caused by hyperventilation.

Taehyung Park and Jihoon Seok were also not in good condition. The two barely managed to swallow the bottled water handed to them by the coordinators.

The choreography for both songs was intense, and it was KK who performed the songs live. It was not an area that humans could easily accomplish.

In a short period of 6 minutes, KK gave everything they had. The reason I was able to perform on stage without wavering even for a moment was because I was able to overcome the physical barrier with my mental strength.

Since all the energy was expended in a short period of time, the aftereffects were enormous.

I felt like I was going to die.

This time behind the scenes could be said to be the most difficult. It wasn’t long, but the thought that I might die just for a moment crossed my mind dozens of times.

‘But… we did it again.’

Dowook took a deep breath and thought.

It was a successful stage. People cheered and it was a very satisfying performance for me personally. He could have shown with all his might what he wanted to show.

The members endured difficult times thanks to the thrilling pleasure they felt on stage.

***

With a simple dinner party where 30 servings of pork belly were cleanly served, KK finished activities for her 3rd full-length album.

When we returned to the dorm, Manager Oh Baek-ho was waiting for the members.

It was to say thank you for your hard work.

The response to today’s broadcast was truly the best. Everyone was happy that another ‘legendary stage’ was born. Seok Ji-hoon’s slight topless removal was also captured and spread everywhere. Seok Ji-hoon smiled happily.

“Everyone worked really hard. This activity. great job. Especially Hyungseo… Take care of your condition well from now on.”

“of course. Thank you to all the members.”

“Why again?”

Exchanging warm words with each other, the members returned to their respective rooms.

No one had any schedule until the day after tomorrow. This activity definitely required a lot of physical strength. The members’ honest feelings were that they wanted to fall asleep now and wake up the day after tomorrow.

So the members returned to their respective rooms, and Manager Oh Baek-ho stayed in the living room with Do-wook because he had something left to say to Do-wook.

“You’re tired too. “It’s not a big deal to talk about… I talked to teacher Kang-yeon Lee and he said that you decided to do your next film, ‘Snow White’s Sister.’”

“Ah yes.”

Dowook had already read the script for ‘Snow White’s Sister’ and said he liked the work. I nodded obediently, thinking that I was going ahead.

As Do-wook knows, ‘Snow White’s Sister’ was difficult to call a hit drama, but it was a drama that was evaluated as a well-made drama.

“Teacher Lee sent me an additional script, but it had some kind of alien in it… It seemed interesting, but it ended up being absurd…” “

Huh? “Are you an alien?”

“okay. It’s not a science fiction drama, it’s some kind of love affair with an alien… ET. “You don’t need to look separately, right?”

When Do-wook was surprised and asked, Director Baek-ho Oh smiled brightly and asked in an unusual tone if it was really an extraordinary drama. I said this because I wanted to laugh with Do-wook.

However, what surprised Dowook was not the fact that an extraterrestrial being called an ‘alien’ appeared in the drama and was not even the main character. When it comes to romance dramas featuring aliens, there was only one. However, he was surprised to learn that the drama’s script came to him.

“Oh no. I! “I miss you.”

Dowook’s eyes, which had been full of fatigue, were shining again. Director Oh Baek-ho was a little dazed by the unexpected reaction and asked again.

“You want to see it?”

“yes. that. no. I don’t think you need to look at it. I want to do that. alien. yes.”

It was an opportunity that should never be missed. Do-wook spoke quickly, unable to hide his excitement, even though he knew he would seem impatient.

Director Oh Baek-ho looked at Do-wook with a puzzled expression.

Since it was a script given by Lee Kang-yeon, Director Oh Baek-ho also looked into industry rumors about the work.

As I found out, there was a reason why Do-wook received the script for ‘The Boyfriend from Extraterrestrial’.

This was because the top star in his early 30s, whom the writer originally wanted, rejected the script. Director Oh Baek-ho was not the only one who had aversion to the subject of ‘alien’. Most management companies rejected the script due to their dislike of the subject matter.

‘There’s no way something like that will work.’ That was the industry opinion.

As a result, the script was sent to Do-wook at a lower age level. Because of this, Director Oh Baek-ho was able to reject the script with greater ease. However, I couldn’t help but be shocked to see Do-wook react so passionately.

As for ‘Snow White’s Sister’, I had not yet given a definitive answer, and I had spoken on the phone with Lee Kang-yeon a few hours ago, so I was still able to overturn my decision.

“Uh… that’s right. First, look at the script. “I wonder if it is the alien you think of…”

***

Of course, it was ‘the alien’ Do-wook thought of.

‘The viewership rating reached 40%… It was an incredible drama that could be called a craze. ‘I can’t believe this opportunity has come to me.’

Dowook clenched his hands. If Do-wook didn’t know the future, he could have frowned just by looking at the material. But the moment I read the synopsis and script, I was convinced again.

‘fun.’

If you break your prejudices a little and read the script properly, you can feel that there is plenty of fun in it.

The only way to fail with this script was to have the male protagonist dress up like ET. However, there was no way he would wear that kind of makeup, he only spoke as an alien and played the role of a ‘handsome man with talent’.

Teacher Lee Kang-yeon once again admired Do-wook for recognizing that point.

Lee Kang-yeon was clearly aware of this, but he did not have the confidence to persuade Hit Entertainment about a drama that was widely considered to be a failure in the industry. Possibility is always accompanied by uncertainty, so it was inevitable for Lee Kang-yeon.

But Dowook was different. Dowook was confident.

Do-wook persuaded Director Oh Baek-ho and the company. In any case, the final decision to appear was a matter that Do-wook was supposed to make.

So Do-wook accepted the role of the male protagonist of ‘The Boyfriend from Extraterrestrial’.

All that was left was to have a meeting with the writer of ‘The Boyfriend from Extraterrestrial’ to finalize the decision.

Do-wook decided to go directly to the artist’s studio. Do-wook, who went to the front of the studio with Director Oh Baek-ho and was about to ring the bell, stopped in surprise at something falling from the sky.

“That…”

Something heavy was falling.
