Chapter 225
‘What is this?’
The man dragged the playback bar to the beginning after watching for about two minutes.
A studio that looked like a mushroom village.
Five handsome men greeted with bright smiles.
-Hello, kids!
The man almost laughed.
It was because they had their names written in white calligraphy on black t-shirts, as if to imprint their names on the viewers.
‘Woojoo’ held up a progress card and smiled brightly.
-Starting today, we will explore the fun historical events with you, New Black’s Woojoo.
-I’m Bijoo.
-Junghyun.
-I’m Seo Rihyuk.
-Hello. I’m Wang Jiho, a descendant of King Sejong.
He turned his t-shirt and there was a surname ‘Wang’ written on his back. The man watched him with a twitching smile.
‘Jiho’ said with a smug face.
-Do you know? My ancestor was King Geon.
He was immediately scolded.
-Jiho, please refrain from making jokes that we didn’t discuss beforehand.
-Stop being impulsive. Wang Jiho.
-Tsk.
‘Junghyun’ nodded and said.
-Right. Jiho. If you’re a descendant of King Wang, then I’m a descendant of Kim Suro.
-Huh?
‘Rihyuk’ looked up with a subtle expression.
-Hyung. The founder of Kimhae Kim clan is Kim Suro.
-...Really?
The other members clapped and chuckled at the surprised look of Junghyun.
Junghyun asked again.
-Since when?
-Well, since 2,000 years ago from now...?
-Oh. So that senior was the founder of our family.
The New Black members teased him for calling him ‘senior’ 2,000 years ago and he laughed.
At first, he thought he had a scary impression, but his speech and behavior were gentle like a bear.
The man also smiled as he heard the laughter of the staff on his earphones.
‘What are they?’
He thought they would be cute and act coy when they came out as idols, but they were surprisingly funny.
But he wondered if this was okay. It was a children’s program, but it seemed more suitable for adults.
There might be some parts that didn’t match the children’s emotions, he thought, but his question was soon answered.
The direction of the broadcast flow and editing was clear.
They cut out the parts that only fit the children’s eye level and left the parts that targeted the adults.
The address was still kids, but that didn’t matter much.
The important thing was that it was fun.
They were so in sync that they made jokes non-stop, as if they were aspiring comedians.
He was so excited that he woke up from his morning sleep.
The production team also added captions full of entertainment, as if they were going to vent their anger from doing a children's program.
‘This is good.'
It was fun and informative.
There was useful information in the jokes that filled the audio without a break.
-I have a question here.
As the member with a cool expression opened his lips, the other members clasped their hands and listened attentively.
Bijoo smiled and joked.
-Yes, doctor. Please tell us.
-Wow.
The eldest brother immediately clapped and intervened.
-Our quick-witted doctor's question timing is so amazing!
-I got goosebumps!
-Hehe.
-......
He snickered at the sight of them teasing him like hyenas tearing apart their prey.
Then he looked at one place and tilted his head.
Is it a special effect?
He noticed that Rihyuk's ears and face turned red, so he took a closer look, but surprisingly, it was not a special effect.
Rihyuk coughed and said.
-...The wave-shaped bronze sword changed into a three-edged bronze sword. What does this mean?
-Jiho! Jiho!
-Hey, it's not a quiz, just tell us......
-The three-edged bronze sword is much later and more cunning than the wave-shaped one. This means that the material price has gone up.
-...That's creative.
Woojoo admired, and Rihyuk almost persuaded him, but opened his lips.
-That, that's not it. The wave-shaped bronze sword is a form found in Liaoning Province and the Korean Peninsula. On the other hand, the three-edged bronze sword is a form mainly found in the Korean Peninsula. That means that a unique form of bronze sword appeared.
-They domesticated it.
-Oh. K-bronze sword.
As Rihyuk explained, Woojoo summarized it in a simple way, and the rest of the members took care of the reaction.
Fun and useful information.
He was concentrating on the content that contained both without knowing it.
‘This is good. Should I subscribe to the channel...?'
It was definitely less dense in information than the one conducted by a professional instructor, and it focused on fun.
But it was rare to have a fun and informative lecture.
Especially just now......
"Pfft!"
He almost burst into laughter at the scene of Rihyuk chasing after someone with a stick he had taken off as a penalty.
After the 17-minute video ended, [Behind Cut] came out.
A kind of NG scene.
A mini log was lying on the floor and Junghyun was sitting with a serious face holding a stick.
Next to him, Rihyuk with glasses explained.
The discovery of fire was a revolutionary change for the early humans. But making fire was very difficult. As you can see, even rubbing sticks to ignite a fire like this...
-Rub it, please. Mr. Junghyun.
-Yes, Mr. Woojoo.
Swish swish.
Soon, smoke rose up, and Rihyuk, who was about to explain how hard it was to make fire, was flustered.
-What? Why is there smoke?
Whoosh!
-Di, did we succeed?
-What? Why, why is there fire over there...
-Awesome! Fire!
-Is that goods?
-It’s kind of goods, but it doesn’t feel like goods.
-ᄏᄏᄏᄏI never thought I’d download study materials while fangirling.
-Mom! My bias made goods, but it’s a history summary book!
As fresh reactions dominated, suggestions also came up.
-ᄏᄏᄏᄏ Fun, it would be fun if they make YouTube lectures using their skills by member.
-Kim Rhinoceros Beetle’s fitness PT.youtube
-Oh, good ᄏᄏᄏᄏᄏ
-But there’s one thing you guys are overlooking.
-???
-?
-Woojoo won’t do a composition lesson.
-!
-Well...I didn’t think of that.
-Despair
-What if you go to Woojoo’s YouTube and the screen is locked and you can’t get out?
-What if you’re imprisoned by Woojoo’s beauty?
-Who said that just now? Come out.
-Woojoo?
While the Soufflés were trembling in fear, there was someone who was smiling while looking at the community where the fans gathered.
“Wow.”
Hong Seoyoung, an assistant manager of the PR Team, had a mysterious smile on her face.
“Achoo!”
When Woojoo was about to wipe his nose after sneezing, a tissue was handed to him.
“Hyung, here you go.”
“Thanks. You’re the best, our second youngest.”
Woojoo wiped his nose and looked at the back seat of the car.
“Unlike someone who looks at Hyung as a virus blob, you know.”
“...”
Rihyuk, who was wearing a mask and looking at him with a biting eye, was the germ blob.
Ding dong.
A message notification rang.
Rihyuk [You’re not afraid of catching a cold, right?]
Rihyuk [I’m different from you guys]
Rihyuk [If I get a cold, it’s three weeks]
Woojoo [It’s not a cold, it’s a sneeze, you jerk,]
Woojoo [Rihyuk caveman meme.jpg]
When Rihyuk turned his eyes into triangles, Junghyun sent an emoticon.
Junghyun [Emoticon]
It was an emoticon of Junghyun clapping his hands on the screen. The other siblings also sent emoticons in response.
Bijoo [Emoticon]
Jiho [Emoticon]
Woojoo [Emoticon]
They were emoticons saying ‘It’s okay. It happens.’, ‘Kyarururu!’, and ‘Love Yourself’.
“Wow, these damn people...!”
Everyone burst into laughter at the sight of Rihyuk exploding in the back seat.
“These emoticons are awesome.”
“I know, right? I hope they release the second version soon.”
The emoticons they were communicating with were new products titled ‘New Black Ver.1’.
Seeing the images they took in the studio move, he felt nostalgic.
It hadn’t been long since they came out, but they were enjoying them.
Kim Deoksoon [Hee Han Ta]
Kim Deoksoon [How come you have a new disease every time?]
Woojoo sent one to each of his grandmother and acquaintances.
Han Taehyun [Oh? Are you bragging about your emoticon?]
Han Taehyun [Emoticon]
Han Taehyun [Talk to me after you release six more versions ^^]
Woojoo sent him a black history meme of his opponent while he was bragging with his own emoticon with a caption saying ‘Try it’.
There was no more reply.
Woojoo didn’t answer Daisy, who replied with her own emoticon saying ‘Huh? Is that all?’ Woojoo still remembered vividly how she lifted up her opponent and laughed during the wrestling match.
Only the Street Boys reacted with ‘Wow...!’
He didn’t know why there were only weird people around him.
“Oh, we’re here. We’re here!”
Woojoo turned his eyes to the youngest’s excited voice.
Paju City, Gyeonggi Province.
They were dragging their tired bodies to the filming site of GTV drama ‘Slip’.
“Oh. Here it is.”
They parked in front of a nondescript three-story building.
In the parking lot, there were equipment vehicles and vans of celebrities with the words ‘Firefly Production’ on them.
When they contacted them that they had arrived, an FD came out from inside.
“Are you here to meet the music director? Follow me.”
“Thank you.”
As soon as they entered, they exclaimed involuntarily. The manager Hyungs also looked around with curious eyes.
A huge set that looked exactly like a real police station.
If the detective office they filmed at the idol show was the quality that would appear in a reenactment drama, this was like a scene from a real movie.
“Wow...”
When they admired, the FD with the intercom smiled and said, “Amazing, right?”
“Yes, maybe because this is the second police station. The last place we went to only had a detention center.”
“...”
The FD was startled for a moment, but when they explained with a wave of their hands, he laughed and understood.
“Hello, we are New Black!”
They greeted the staff members who passed by in the hallway with a slight bow. Some of them said ‘wow’ and some of them smiled and returned their greeting.
Being on a terrestrial broadcast was nice.
The busy staff who were exhausted from filming were smiling, or even acknowledging them.
The person who was guiding them also said, “I saw your clip on Legendary Song Discovery. It was life-changing.”
“Really? How was it?”
“It was great. You did it with coloring.”
They all raised their thumbs and praised themselves, making the other person laugh. Then he said discreetly, “If you don’t mind, can I get your autograph or a picture when you leave?”
He also told them that his parents recently watched New Black and liked it, so they gladly agreed.
“Here it is.”
They walked past the filming equipment that was set up, careful of the wires, and approached the office that was located in a quiet place.
It was when Woojoo was about to knock on the door before entering.
“Hey, New Black!”
Woojoo turned his head at the sound of a cheerful greeting.
They widened their eyes as they saw an actor dressed as a detective walking briskly down the hallway.
“Uh...?”
It was someone they had met once before.
