Chapter 94:

You were fine for a while, why are you talking nonsense again?

I really didnt understand this area well. I searched online and found out that you buy an album without knowing what card you will get, and then you can resell or exchange it.

Do you sell the cards separately if you cant sell the albums?

Kyunghwa sighed at my naive question and answered.

Usually, they sell them with the goods, or they collaborate with other brands and give them out when you buy a certain amount.

It seemed to me that as long as there was demand, there were endless ways to do it.

After a long argument, we decided on five types of goods. Among them, you get one of the two photo cards when you buy a key ring, a lenticular card, or a strap.

Other popular idols would increase the number of cards per member, but

We probably thought that increasing the randomness would make them sell less.

I didnt know that area very well, so I thought it was safer to trust Kyunghwas judgment.

I vaguely hoped that we could do a collaboration event with food-related products in the future. We had the same idea.

But if we wanted to use the fans loyalty to induce bulk purchases, it would be safer to avoid food products.

As I was looking at the product details, the members who finished the dishes and cleaning came out to the living room.

Ah, I want dessert.

Yi-jun complained that his mouth was empty after eating.

Theres pineapple in the fridge, cut it and eat it. Seon-woo, only a little bit.

As soon as he said that, I heard the fridge open with a bang. Seon-woo said yes! and went back to the kitchen with Yi-jun to cut the pineapple.

How do we cut this?

First, cut off the head

Do we have to cut off the bottom too?

They would waste all the time peeling the skin if they left it like that. I ended up getting up and cutting the fruit for them, and thats when the dinner was over.

After dessert, it was time to relax. Some did home training, some played games, some watched TV.

I was thinking about the real music show appearance that was coming soon, and I checked the materials in advance to see what I should do at the end.

Seon-woos wink failure was surprisingly well received last time.

He looked a bit lacking, but his face was working hard and he was cute, so he was a hot topic in the community.

But no matter how cute it was, if you repeated it several times, it would look too artificial and you could get criticized.

I told him to check what he could do in advance and match the words.

I watched other peoples music show stages and fancams for almost an hour, and I was quickly exhausted.

I have a lot to do tomorrow, I should go to bed early.

I went to bed earlier than usual, and as soon as I lay down, Seon-woo came into the room.

Ise hyung Oh.

He seemed to have something to say to me, but he quickly closed the door and left when he saw me in bed.

I wondered if I should get up and ask him what it was, but I felt so relaxed lying down that I fell asleep.

I didnt know what he wanted to say. If it was important, he would tell me in the morning, I thought.

***

I woke up in the morning and had a simple salad for breakfast. Then the filming crew of Boys in Crisis came to the dorm.

Well install three observation cameras in the living room.

As in the countryside house, the cameras installed to avoid the bathroom would be with us until the day of our comeback.

Aeongi, the cat, hid his body at first when he saw the filming crew rushing into the house, but soon he came out after loosening his guard.

They were not strangers to him, as he had met them constantly while going back and forth between the accommodation and the countryside house.

Today, were going to film a goods review and make something called a toploader. The completed toploader will be delivered to the channel subscribers by lottery.

What is a toploader? I often saw it on the feed, but I didnt know exactly what it meant.

[- Buy any Climax photocard, I only have 10 toploaders and no photocard]

[- Na Seon-woo Seon-woo Climax Seong-won Ise Kyungwha Yi-jun WePlanet

Ill buy any kind of Na Seon-woo photocard, please sell it to me

I want to use a pretty toploader]

It was a word that people usually used like this. When I searched it, I couldnt figure out what it was, as it looked like a very fancy picture frame with a lot of things on it.

Will the goods and photocard go on the video as they are?

Kyunghwa asked the staff as soon as he heard the content.

The goods will go as they are, but the photocard will be mosaic-processed so that we can surprise the fans.

Okay.

Kyunghwa nodded as if he agreed. Well, it wouldnt make sense to show the product with random elements on the broadcast. I nodded too.

Then, since the filming crew has raided you while you were sleeping late, were going to film with that concept. Please go to your places.

Yes~.

Yes.

Everyone answered lightly and headed to the bedroom, after washing up neatly and toning up in the morning.

Then, lets go for the shoot. Standby, cue!

Following the main PDs instructions, a siren sound rang throughout the accommodation.

Wake up-! Wake up-! Wake up-! Wake up-!

Everyone acted as if they were flustered by the sharp recording sound.

What is it, whats that noise?

Kyunghwa, who opened the door first, greeted the filming crew with a bewildered expression.

Hello, Kyunghwa!

Uh? Hello, PD? Why are you here?

We told you earlier that were going to film at the accommodation today!

But you didnt say youd come at this time

Kyunghwa rubbed his face with both hands as if he was washing it.

He naturally continued the situation as if he didnt know about it. He was a natural-born actor.

Kyunghwa turned around with a half-booted face and went back to his room.

Just a moment. Ill wake up Yi-jun.

As Kyunghwa went back to his room and pretended to wake up Oh Yi-jun, I was also standing blankly in the living room with a sleepy face.

Ise, can you go and wash your face once?

The assistant PD suggested that I wash my face naturally. Well, thats how broadcasting is. I nodded slowly and went to the living room bathroom.

The assistant PD followed me and captured me washing my face on camera.

Seonwoo seemed to have gone to bed with the setting that he couldnt wake up, and the cameraman went to film him closely.

Even after a lot of commotion, the door to the room where Seong-won was writing didnt open. Then, Seong-won came out with a normal face, not following the setting at all.

Ill take care of the cat.

He quickly picked up Aeongi, who was playing pranks on the staff as if the cat was the most important thing.

Okay, everyone, if youve calmed down a bit, Ill reveal todays mission.

The members showed up and the official filming began.

Each member got a set of their own goods and had a simple review time.

They didnt look very impressive in the photos either. But in reality, they were even more sorry products that had our faces or logos on them and were much more expensive than other ready-made products.

Fans they bought these for us

As my brief impression crossed my mind, Yi-jun poked me in the ribs.

Hyung, whats with that expression?

I answered as if I was wronged.

What did I do? What expression did I make?

Yi-jun imitated my expression mockingly and said,

Kind of like a dad who says, Where did you buy these things with money again?

Thats not it.

I immediately denied it.

Then, Im so grateful to the fans for buying these things with this money. expression.

It was spot on and gave me goosebumps. I tried to deny it and made an X sign to the camera.

Please edit this out. Im sorry.

Ah.

Yi-jun also bowed his head and apologized, realizing his mistake.

Im sorry. Ill try to put on a more capitalist filter.

Im sorry.

I also bowed my head and apologized as the PD held up the slate again.

Then, lets start over from the beginning. Ise, please cheer up and give us some reaction.

Yes. Im sorry.

The filming started again and I was able to show a more positive reaction this time.

This strap is really convenient.

You dont use grip talk, do you?

Yeah. I dont like having something sticking out on the back of my phone.

As soon as I attached it to the case and put it on my hand, it felt much more stable than not using it.

The lenticular came out really clean. Can I show you this?

Ah, then Ill show you mine too.

While the members opened their goods one by one and showed them to the camera, and exchanged their impressions with each other

Seong-won was quietly playing with Aeongi using the strap.

Seong-won, it seems like Aeongi likes the strap.

Yes, can I keep this?

Of course, we wont take it back.

Seong-won nodded his head as if he liked it.

After finishing their reviews in their own ways, they moved the furniture in the living room to the room and brought in a large flatbed.

From now on, you will try to decorate your toppers.

I made a face that said, what is a topper? Kyunghwa whispered in my ear.

Its short for top loader. Its a plastic sleeve that protects your cards.

Why do we decorate them?

Because they look pretty.

Dont they come pre-made?

Some fans make and sell them, but usually people make their own. Its a trend to buy materials and customize them.

Oh

As I bombarded him with questions, the production staff showed us some examples.

Today, we will just use stickers and these plastic charms to decorate them simply.

Then Yi-jun raised his hand and asked.

What about that thing that looks like squeezing silicone?

The production staff looked at us with a faint smile and answered.

Thats beyond your power and ability. Today, we will only do the basics.

Aw~.

Yi-jun pouted as if he was disappointed. The production staff eventually showed us some videos of failed attempts.

Youre right. We cant do that.

We had to at least not ruin them if we wanted to send our works to the fans.

Some failed because they couldnt control their strength, some failed because they pressed them before they dried, some failed because they messed up the concentration,

We saw various kinds of failures and realized that stickers suited our level.

Okay, everyone, if you have all your materials, lets start!

Under the guidance of the main PD, we mixed goods stickers and regular stickers and stuck them on the transparent and thin cases.

Anyone have red? I need some red.

Yi-jun rummaged through dozens of stickers and took red apples, ribbons, cars, game consoles, squirrels and such.

Here, mine has this. Use it.

Kyunghwa peeled off a red heart and gave it to Yi-jun, then took a green turtle from Yi-juns stickers.

I should focus instead of watching others.

Gulp, I swallowed my dry saliva and time flew by.

Alright, everyone, if youre done, please explain your works.

It was time to reveal our results.
