“Can we prepare one more stage?”

The members who were excitedly choosing chicken looked blank for a moment as Do-wook asked carefully.

“Did you hate it so much when I asked you to choose chicken?”

Hyung-seo Ahn asked, taking the leaflet from Do-wook’s hand back to his own.

I heard a strong coughing sound and looked to see that it was Jeong Yoon-gi. Jeong Yoon-gi was forcing himself to cough. Oh my, I made a sobbing sound and looked away. It was even more strange that my throat didn’t hurt because I was forcing a cough that wouldn’t come out.

“Suddenly.... I.... Understand every word I say. Pardon?”

Kim Won asked in mixed English, as if he did not understand Do-wook’s words. Anyone could see that it was an act, so it was bound to be funny, but no one criticized Kim Won.

It was Dowook who burst into laughter.

Looking at the members’ reactions, it was clear that preparing for another stage was a burden.

Nevertheless, the members expressed their opinions indirectly rather than frowning. They were the members who always followed Dowook’s somewhat strict schedule without saying anything. Dowook felt more grateful than sad.

‘The idea I just came up with is probably too far-fetched.’

There was no intention at all to overwork the members. Thinking like that, Dowook gave up his mind.

“I’ll even choose the chicken. “For me, it’s Emperor Olive Chicken.”

Seok Ji-hoon, the youngest member, was writing down the chicken each member ordered on a notepad. Seok Ji-hoon was realizing once again that the tastes of the members were as diverse as their personalities.

“I am the King of Bulgogi.”

“Yoongi hyung, bulgogi... Heavenly King... So, everything has been decided? “I’m ordering now.”

After receiving all the menus, Seok Ji-hoon began calling in orders one by one.

The members settled down comfortably to watch TV while waiting for their chicken. Jeong Yoon-gi, who was sitting in the corner of the sofa and changing channels with the remote control, pressed the power button to turn off the TV again.

The members’ eyes all turned towards Jeong Yoon-gi, who was sitting behind them.

“Tell me.”

Instead of answering the members who were looking in resentment at the TV that suddenly turned off, Jung Yoon-gi asked Do-wook. Do-wook wandered for a moment, unable to understand the meaning, but soon understood Jeong Yoon-gi’s question.

“I have to have had bad experiences listening to you before I can pretend not to know.”

Jeong Yoon-gi added. The other members also sighed as they understood what he meant. It was because I had a strong feeling that I would have to perform one more stage.

However, like people who sighed and thought things would turn out this way, they quickly gave up and listened to Do-wook.

In fact, the other members’ feelings were no different from Jung Yoon-gi’s. The reason KK came this far was because Do-wook was not the only one who wanted to reach the top. Aside from the physical hardships of the other members, they were always thirsty with the desire to stand at the top and receive more love.

“Yeah... I thought I felt strangely very comfortable this year.”

Hyungseo Ahn complained playfully.

Compared to other singers, my body was still not comfortable. KK’s practice amount was always the best. In addition to regular activities and tours, the KK members had a busy year.

However, it was true that group activities decreased this year due to increased individual activities.

For Ahn Hyeong-seo, who did not have any special personal activities, it was an easier year than last year.

“I’m having a hard time at the end of the year! “Why should I go through so much trouble!”

“Ah...”

Do-wook hesitated for a moment before speaking.

After receiving the MC offer, we started talking and looked at the TBN cue sheet. While explaining what happened a little while ago, Dowook also explained to the members why he asked them to perform one more stage.

“Ah... I guess Ara is strong... strong.”

Taehyung Park, who was quietly listening, also muttered a little despondently, as if he could not overcome the power of Ara Entertainment.

Dowook continued.

“Even though TBN has to accept it anyway, I thought it would be good if we could do it. “It shows the public the power of the stage, which cannot be helped even by the power of the entertainment company.”

Also, as we progressed through activities, our skills improved and our understanding of each other increased, and it was also helpful that we were in a good state of ‘pretending to pretend’ when practicing.

When I first formed the group K-K as a trainee before my debut, it took me a week to perfectly perform a cover dance.

This was because there were differing opinions about which member would take on which role and which choreography, and it took a lot of time to modify and digest it to suit the KK members.

But now three days was enough. Just by looking at it once, you can get a feel for who has what role, and your digestion skills have also greatly improved.

Dowook knew that too, so he planned this stage.

Keyrings! It’s time to wake up! Have a nice day at school and work everyone!

We are now going to sleep after practice!

We are working hard

to show Keyrings many better stages, so please look forward to this award ceremony performance

. I love you~! Kyakya kya kya ]

Ahn Hyeong-seo’s selfie and post posted at 7:30 in the morning after practice touched the hearts of fans on their way to school and work.

Fans were burning with the desire to do something more for their idols who worked so hard to perform on stage at the awards ceremony.

The first thing you could do was vote.

KK fans launched an all-out offensive to vote for the Popularity Award. Although he was already number one in voting, the difference between him and the second-place singer was only 5%.

The fans were determined to win the vote completely and overwhelmingly, allowing KK to take home the Popularity Award and other awards.

And the second was to increase album sales.

KK fans, who even attracted foreign fans, worked hard to make KK shine at the awards ceremony.

Internet communities and fan pages everywhere were heating up with issues related to the awards ceremony.

***

And it was TBN that was in trouble at that time.

The cue sheet was somewhat organized. But the problem was the object. Of course, they should have received awards based on their grades, but it was also their job to distribute the awards well, taking various political situations into consideration.

“Even though Sabang Shinhwa gave them a few minutes, they still do what they always do... Look at KK, they come out saying they will set the stage first.”

When the head of TBN’s entertainment and music channel complained, the CP in charge of the awards ceremony who was sitting next to him responded.

“It must be noisy right now due to internal issues. “Because they are saying they are withdrawing.”

“The new kids we’re raising aren’t doing well either... Seojun is at the point where he’s completely buried.”

“It must be confusing in your head.”

“Actually, looking at it now, KK should receive the grand prize...”

Even as he said that, the head of the headquarters shook his head.

“If you want to be a dragon in the stream, you have to become a real dragon. “You’ll never get anything with grades like those of a tiger.”

“Well...”

CP also nodded as if he agreed to some extent.

The two were at the Korean restaurant to prepare in advance for the awards ceremony to be held next year. Starting next year’s awards ceremony, we had the ambition to expand the market from Korea to all of Asia and raise the level of the awards ceremony.

To achieve this, it was very important to receive investment. In particular, we had to penetrate the Chinese and Japanese markets properly.

Today was the day that would become the stepping stone for pioneering that market.

“You have arrived.”

The door opened and the waiter informed the two that the promised guest had arrived. The two stopped talking and relaxed by drinking the water in front of them.
