Across the Sea (5)

‘...... Something else?’

Not only Do-wook but also other members looked like rabbits in surprise at Ahn Hyeong-seo’s sudden words.

‘Did Ahn Hyeong-seo have any other personal skills?’

Dowook looked at Ahn Hyeong-seo with slightly worried eyes. It was because of concerns that Ahn Hyeong-seo might have fallen for Watanabe’s provocation.

However, looking at Ahn Hyeong-seo’s eyes, Do-wook soon put aside the worries in his heart for a moment.

Ahn Hyeong-seo’s eyes showed the determination that he would never finish recording while being treated like a fool.

Of course, not everything was possible through will alone. However, Ahn Hyeong-seo was also a person with sufficient talent and talent. Dowook had faith that he would somehow do well.

Watanabe asked with interest.

“Something else? What is it? “I wonder what Hyungseo, who is only in charge of the team’s SNS, can do!”

Watanabe’s attitude of ignoring Ahn Hyeong-seo could not be seen as personally correct. However, he did not ignore Ahn Hyeong-seo, whom he saw for the first time today, simply to harass him.

It could be seen as Watanabe’s way of extracting fun. There were clearly viewers who took pleasure in ignoring and making fun of someone.

However, it depended on the guest’s choice and ability whether to just end the recording or attack Watanabe.

Even if the same method was used, the reaction was different for each guest.

Watanabe was willing to give Ahn Hyeong-seo a chance if he wanted to do something. If I couldn’t do it, I could create an even funnier image. In fact, if it wasn’t done properly and was funny, it was a huge success.

Ahn Hyeong-seo was truly funny when he couldn’t even be vaguely funny.

“Um... Um... Cola...”

Ahn Hyeong-seo shouted excitedly, but his Japanese wasn’t suddenly improving. Hyeong-seo Ahn stammered, pointing to the Coke bottle for indirect advertising in the MC seat.

Do-wook, who was sitting next to Ahn Hyeong-seo, listened, and Ahn Hyeong-seo explained to Do-wook in Korean the personal story he was going to do.

“Can you do that?”

“uh. “I’ve only tried it once...”

Do-wook frowned a little. Just thinking about it made my throat tingle.

However, since Ahn Hyeong-seo wanted to do it, Do-wook looked at Watanabe and explained in Japanese.

“Can I have a Coke, please? “It is said to be a talent technique of drinking an entire bottle of cola in one go and then immediately singing.”

“Oh oh?!”

Watanabe looked at Ahn Hyeong-seo with interest in Do-wook’s explanation.

The indirect advertising cola prepared at the MC seat was contained in a 400ml plastic bottle. 400ml of highly carbonated cola was not an easy amount to drink. However, when I heard that he started singing right after drinking all the cola, I couldn’t help but be interested.

Even if he failed while drinking cola because of the pain caused by carbonation, the sight of him suffering seemed to be good entertainment even for viewers who like sadistic things to some extent.

The other members also looked at Ahn Hyeong-seo with expressions of surprise or concern at Do-wook’s explanation. Kim Won seemed to think that if he was going to do it anyway, he should help.

“I saw it! “I saw it when I was doing this and it was a success then.”

He played the role of a wind catcher and instilled anticipation.

Hyungseo Ahn smiled.

I did it as a joke while eating chicken and cola at the dorm with Kim Won, but I didn’t know I would show off my talent like this.

Watanabe took the cola from the MC seat and handed it directly to Ahn Hyeong-seo.

“I’m excited to hear that it was a success!”

Ahn Hyeong-seo, who received the cola, took a deep breath and prepared to drink it.

The members next to him did not know that they could not know whether Ahn Hyeong-seo would succeed or not. Jeong Yoon-gi just hoped that Ahn Hyeong-seo would not ruin his image by spitting out or burping while drinking cola.

It was a nerve-wracking moment even though it was just a personal performance on an entertainment program.

For some reason, if it was an entertainment show, I wanted to make a point of seeing Watanabe for ignoring Ahn Hyeong-seo.

“Now.... let’s start!”

Ahn Hyeong-seo asked Watanabe for a photo without any hesitation, took a group photo with the members, and uploaded it to SNS asking people to look forward to the program that will be broadcast soon.

The program PD also gave a very positive evaluation of the recording to the members and Director Oh Baek-ho. It has been said that all of the members’ personal stories will be able to be released without editing.

Since the content of the broadcast was meaningful and there were fun and surprises at the end, there was also talk of plans to extend the length to 25 minutes.

“But how did you hold back during the broadcast? How did you sing? I think it would be a big hit if we did it in Korea too...”

Seok Ji-hoon, who was sitting in the back seat, asked.

Seok Ji-hoon asked Ahn Hyeong-seo if he had any know-how and wanted to learn it and go to ’48 Hours Camping’.

“How can I hold back.... I just endured it!”

But there was no such thing as know-how. Hyungseo Ahn shouted.

“You can’t do this in Korea! “It’s a one-time use skill that can only be used once!”

***

A few days later.

In the meantime, it was KK who showed short interviews and performances through broadcasts. The KK members finished their short but long schedule in Japan and were now packing their bags to return to Korea.

When the entertainment program with Watanabe was broadcast, it received a bigger response than other broadcasts.

Watanabe was an MC with a strong tsukomi personality who was well known to Japanese people. Nevertheless, there was a lot of praise for the KK members’ sense of answering without being too embarrassed. Also, the individual skills shown in the personal skills corner were very impressive.

It was clearly revealed that they were a talented group that did not miss anything in singing or dancing.

In addition, the fact that Dowook was from the Cannes Film Festival caught the attention of Japanese people who were not fans. Like Korea, Japan also had a tendency to give generously to people who were ‘recognized abroad.’

In fact, Dowook’s performance of ‘Naoki Hanjo’ was excellent. It was only one of the many programs he appeared in, but the fact that he had prepared to act in a popular Japanese drama specifically for that program was enough to melt the hearts of Japanese people.

Thanks to this, Naoki was added to Dowook’s Japanese nickname, Uki, and a new nickname, ‘Uoki’, was created.

And as expected, the one that drew the most enthusiastic response when it was edited and uploaded on My Tube was Ahn Hyeong-seo’s personal story of ‘drinking cola and singing’.

It spread widely as a humorous video, showing great interest not only among ordinary Japanese people but also in Korea.

Korean fans felt that their hearts were somehow touched when they saw KK working hard in Japan.

At the same time, I felt proud that K.K., who had good skills and personality, was Korean.

Ahn Hyeong-seo’s video of him drinking coke received tens of thousands of views. It has become a trend among MyTube users to record and upload videos imitating Ahn Hyeong-seo’s personal skills. There were people spitting out cola and there were many who said they couldn’t do it. Thanks to this, Ahn Hyeong-seo’s personal skills were left behind in a legendary video.

Manager Oh Baek-ho announced the good news to K.K., who packed up their belongings in their hotel rooms.

“Guys.”

When Director Oh Baek-ho called the members in a low voice, the members looked at Director Oh Baek-ho with excited eyes. Judging by Director Oh Baek-ho’s mood, it seemed clear that there was good news.

“That’s enough.”

“yes? “It works?”

“It’s March.”

At the word March, all the members opened their mouths and looked blankly at Director Oh Baek-ho.

“Dome tour. “It has been confirmed.”

The Japanese fan base was growing exponentially and album sales were soaring. Since it was already popular, it was entirely possible for it to become even more popular.

The dome tour, which was also the main goal of this Japanese activity, has been confirmed. It was an indescribably great achievement.

Among Korean singers, only one group has made it to the dome tour.

“wow!”

Kim Won shouted. It was good news. The KK members knew well, having seen the singers around them, how difficult it would be to go from an arena tour to a dome tour even if they had established themselves in Japan.

This was possible because K.K. had grown by building its foundation step by step in Japan, from small concert halls to arena tours.

‘Dome...’

Do-wook also stood blankly, unable to hide his joy. The car to transport the KK members arrived, but everyone enjoyed the joy of having their dome tour confirmed without even thinking about getting in the car.

The dome was a place that could show off its prestige and was different from Korea’s large performance halls in terms of size and facilities. Dowook’s heart raced at the thought of performing there.

At that time, Dowook’s cell phone vibrated in his pocket. There was a notification in the email app that a new email had arrived.
