“It’s , but there are a lot of people in front of the studio”
As soon as they arrived at the studio, Gunyoung stuck his head out the back seatUnlike before, I was in the driver’s seat while Gunyoung was at the back And next to his crossed
It was a little unfair
“Ah… Most of them are here for BYG They have a comeback today”
“The live broadcast is at night, but they are already waiting?”
“BYG will have to co for them to come so they can take pictures”
There werethe front of the studio I thought only kids did these things, but most were adults There were even wo to work
“Those ‘Someone’s work outfit preview’ pictures on Twitter are all uploaded by those Chikduk[1]”
“Chikduk?”
What are these work outfit previews and what is this Chikduk?
“Picture taking Dukhu[2] Some of them take better quality pictures than those you find on new articles Some take pictures to share, while others create a photo book to sell to other fans”
Our pictures were taken while ere on our way inside after parking the van I was nervous as I iraphs and handshakes, but in reality, it was ely quiet
While they did look at us, no one shouted out our na other group’s fans
“hello everyone, we are Neptune!”
“We’re Neptune!”
As the four brightly s pictures grew A few even returned their greetings
“What are you doing Smile, both of you”
Hyunjo poked the sides of Gunyoung and ht smile on his face
“A post on Twitter saying ‘I saw Neptune today and they were pretty good’ is better than most publicity stunts”
I kept greeting people, without knoho they were
“Ah, right Also…”
As soon as we entered the lobby, Hyunjo advised us
“You can’t swear in front of fans who come to watch the broadcast”
“Sorry?”
“There are still sosters, so we have to be careful Just don’t do anything that turn into controversy Don’t even touch anyone ‘Today, the er of Neptune or whatever pushed me Just e of our kids orsen”
“Ah… okay”
“And keep greeting people”
“Yes”
“Do you knoho you have to greet?”
I was speechless Hoould I know that?
“You don’t know?”
“Yes, I don’t”
“Since you don’t know, just greet everyone you es, when you meet an employee, say these words exactly, ‘hello, I aroup called Neptune Please take care of us’ Easy right? Memorize it”
Gunyoung was alreadythe words as he me room hello, I am… hello, I am…
As if this was funny, Seoyoung laughed behind me
“You said you are Jung Sunwoo oppa?”
Who is Jung Sunwoo oppa? Oh, it’s me
“Yeah”
“Since you wore a suit, every person you greet is going to think you’re the chief You look like Hyunjo oppa’s superior”
“Ah… Do I? Do I?”[3]
“You should have worn a necktie”
“My necktie’s in ”
Seoyoung laughed even harder It felt like soh sounded coed her members Her cotton candy-like sweet voice, her eyes that closed into half-moon shapes, she was very cute
I just wanted to put her in h
The waiting rooot off the elevator, there were tons of people bustling around already I couldn’t tell as aI couldn’t even tell the difference between back dancers and singers
What was certain was that there was no one prettier than the ha It wasn’t because I a with them, really
“Where is our dressing room?”
“Over there Second last one at the end”
Along the narrow hallway, there were doors spread tightly on either side Neptune’s waiting rooht A paper with ‘Neptune’ written on it was stuck on the door
Curious as to how a studio waiting rooht look like, I opened the door with anticipation…
It was a chicken coop It was smaller than my one-room
Wait Fourmyself, later, when stylists andto be a place to sit
If ere like this, how do those groups with 10 members or those with back dancers deal with this?
“This is better than sharing a rooroups And later, if we have a location shoot or an event, we have to eat and sleep in the van At that ti room”
Seoyoung pouted at Hyunjo’s words
“I don’t have to sleep or eat, I just hope we get a location shoot or an event
“Be patient, that day will couys will definitely become popular”
“Really?”
“Really You guys o sleep”
“We have to greet our seniors”
“I’ll wake you up then, so just sleep”
Neptune members covered themselves with their outerwear or blankets and nodded off to sleep on each other’s shoulders With their full makeup on, they were definitely celebrities, but their sleeping faces looked like a child’s Well, they are kids The oldest here is 22
“Don’t just stand there, both of you should get comfortable and sleep We have to stay here until the broadcast is over”
Hyunjo grabbed a chair and closed his eyes
Looking at my watch, it was only a bit after 8 KpopCon’s live broadcast was at 7pm We had around 10 hours left How should I spend my time in this less chicken coop? Should I sleep too? No, if I close et back up… The only thing I could trust wasto be like this, I would have brought er or some extra batteries
Why did we have to come so early when the broadcast was at 7?
“Do you knohat to do until the broadcast?”
Gunyoung scratched his chin as he answered
“I don’t know… It’s ram so I’m not certain”
