Join the ServerTo avoid spoiling their comeback concept, everyone wore hats.
Trying to squeeze all six members into a single frame meant sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in a cramped space.
“Hey, doesn’t this look like we’re holding a press conference?”
“It kind of does.”
Ryu Seo-oh calmly agreed with Moon Saebyeol’s joking remark.
The comment gave Shim Eunchan an idea.
“What if we act like we’re hosting the news? Just sit here with completely serious faces.”
“Oh, that’s actually a good idea.”
“…I feel like someone’s going to laugh.”
“That’d be funny in its own way. Natural, you know?”
“Eunchan, haven’t you completely lost sight of the original goal here?”
Despite the interruption, Eunchan didn’t mind.
As long as it wasn’t morally wrong, he felt any approach was fine.
More accurately, the people who wanted to complain would complain regardless, and the people who wanted to enjoy it would enjoy it.
It wasn’t possible to control everyone’s reactions.
Nor would it ever be.
All they could do was give it their best.
Eunchan checked the time on his phone.
9:30 PM.
Office workers would have already finished dinner and be relaxing after work.
Students would probably be home from academy classes and resting comfortably as well.
“I told Manager-hyung we’re starting the Face App stream now. Everyone seated? Okay, turning it on.”
Jung Minyu activated the stream and created the room.
OMG
H-HOLY—
WHAT
WHAT IS THIS
WHO IS THAT?
WHO
WHO IS IT
OMG
Hi everyone
Hello
I missed you guys
THE WHOLE GROUP IS HERE
OMG IT’S EUNCHAN
SHIM EUNCHAN
EUNCHAN-AH
EUNCHAN!
MY GOD SHIM EUNCHAN IS ACTUALLY HERE
恩燦，能見到你我很幸福
(Eunchan, I’m so happy to see you.)
YEONWOON-AHHHHHH
The six members silently stared at the rapidly scrolling chat.
The number of viewers entering the stream increased at an astonishing speed.
“Is this really live right now?”
Looking at the viewer count climbing at a rate he would’ve considered impossible before, Eunchan asked blankly.
“Uh… yeah.”
The other members had done Face App streams once or twice recently.
Eunchan, however, had spent his free time practicing in the training room to make up for lost training time.
It had been a very long time since he’d interacted with fans in real time.
Up until now, they had only uploaded previously recorded content to NuTube.
Eunchan checked the numbers displayed on the screen again.
No matter how he looked at it, both the viewer count and heart count seemed strange.
The others appeared to feel the same way.
Everyone was staring at the same spot.
“…Guys, we should greet them.”
Minyu’s quiet reminder snapped everyone back to reality.
“Hello. With your heart! Together! We are B the 1!”
The moment they finished their official greeting, the chat exploded with comments calling them cute.
The messages moved so quickly they were difficult to read.
The stream had only just begun.
Yet the viewer count had already exceeded 10,000.
The heart count was over 300,000.
Compared to their previous Face App broadcasts…
It wasn’t double.
It was closer to ten times larger.
“We haven’t done a full-group Face App stream in a really long time. We turned this on today because we wanted to share some news with everyone.”
Minyu opened calmly.
As planned before the broadcast, everyone maintained a serious expression.
The fans in chat immediately sensed something strange and began asking what was going on.
Then—
A strange sputtering sound escaped from Do Junseo.
Everyone turned toward him.
Junseo had his lips tightly pressed together, desperately trying not to laugh.
Unfortunately, his body was shaking like a trembling aspen tree.
No one knew exactly what had triggered him.
The problem was that laughter was contagious.
Starting with Moon Saebyeol beside him, the infection spread.
Even leader Jung Minyu began cracking up.
At least Minyu was trying to regain control, but after repeated failures, even his ears had turned red.
WHAT IS HAPPENING
WHAT’S GOING ON?
WHY IS EVERYONE LAUGHING
LET ME LAUGH TOO
??????
Only two people remained sane.
Ryu Seo-oh and Shim Eunchan.
The stream had been started specifically to introduce the new member, so the sudden chaos left Eunchan feeling awkward.
Still, they had to accomplish their goal.
Exchanging a glance with Seo-oh, Eunchan stood and moved closer to the camera.
Until things settled down, it was probably better not to show the others’ faces.
“Hello, FamFams. We’re adjusting the screen for a moment, so I came up close to the camera.”
BLINK ONCE FOR ME
EUNCHAN’S FACE IS WAY TOO CLOSE HOLY CRAP
LOOK AT HIS EYES WTF
EUNCHANNNN T_T
…How does Eunchan know how to stall for screen adjustments?
HE LOOKS LIKE A DOLL WHEN HE BLINKS
I LOVE YOU EUNCHAN
DO YOU STILL TALK TO HAEMIN?
I AM CHINESE. EUNCHAN, CAN YOU SPEAK CHINESE?
EUNCHAN DID YOU EAT?
DID YOU TALK TO ACTOR KIM HYUIN TODAY?
The chat scrolled too fast to follow.
Eunchan gave up trying to read it.
“Our comeback is coming up very soon. Earlier, Minyu-hyung mentioned that we had some news to share. We’ve added a new member to the group. We wanted to introduce him to our FamFams before the comeback. Come over here.”
Eunchan beckoned to Hyun Wooyoung.
Even though the chaos wasn’t intentional, he felt bad.
This was supposed to be Wooyoung’s first introduction to the fans.
The unexpected incident bothered him.
Out of view of the camera, Eunchan gave Wooyoung a quick wink as an apology.
Since the original seating arrangement had fallen apart, Eunchan called Wooyoung to sit directly beside him.
He casually draped an arm over his shoulder and gave him a couple encouraging pats.
Wooyoung looked directly into the camera.
“Hello. It’s nice to meet everyone for the first time. My name is Hyun Wooyoung.”
By then, the epidemic of laughter had finally been suppressed enough for the stream to continue properly.
“So how does it feel greeting the fans for the first time? Are you nervous?”
“I’m nervous, but I’m trying my best not to be so I won’t make any mistakes.”
Eunchan looked at Wooyoung as he answered with an easy smile.
He appeared perfectly calm.
Is he really nervous?
Part of Eunchan was curious.
Part of him wanted to tease him.
And part of him felt oddly proud.
Perhaps sensing the stare, Wooyoung turned slightly toward him.
“Did I make a mistake?”
Of course he asked.
That was exactly the kind of person Hyun Wooyoung was.
Most rookies about to debut would be too nervous to ask such a question and would simply watch others’ reactions.
Wooyoung really was different.
Maybe it was because he couldn’t actually see the fans and therefore didn’t fully feel the pressure.
“I mean, you can’t just say your name and stop there. You need to tell them your age and position in the team too. Again. Try again.”
An expression of realization flashed across Wooyoung’s face.
“Right. Then… I’ll introduce myself again.”
He straightened.
“Hello. I’m Hyun Wooyoung. I’m twenty years old, and in B the 1, I serve as a vocalist and rapper.”
“You forgot one thing.”
Eunchan grinned.
“He’s also a very good dancer.”
Wooyoung’s expression shifted ever so slightly.
Seeing that he might respond with something dangerous, Eunchan quickly changed the topic.
“It seems our members have finally calmed down. Let’s return to the original formation.”
He stepped back.
The members rearranged themselves and repeated their group greeting as if the stream had just started.
“But why were you all laughing so much earlier?”
Although Ryu Seo-oh asked with a smile, everyone could tell he wanted a real explanation.
Minyu immediately looked troubled.
“Can I actually tell this story? Seo-oh and Eunchan didn’t hear it?”
Covering his mouth with one hand, Minyu looked around.
The other members, who had only just regained their composure, immediately started trying not to laugh again.
“Well… I can’t say which member it was. Actually, I don’t even know who it was. But just a moment ago, somewhere nearby, from someone, there was… an unavoidable physical… gas… no, um…”
Everyone wondered why he was talking in circles.
The actual reason was far beyond anyone’s expectations.
Eunchan’s eyes widened.
Moon Saebyeol, possessing the quickest instincts in the group, immediately stepped in.
“Hyung. Stop.”
This definitely wasn’t the kind of story they should be telling during a new member introduction broadcast.
Changing the subject immediately was the better choice.
A quick glance at the chat revealed complete chaos.
That clip would later be uploaded to NuTube under the title:
“The Most Common Thing That Happens During a New Member Introduction”
It surpassed one million views in only five days.
Someone please tell me how to stop replaying the music video…
Actually, never mind. Let’s watch it together.
This is insane.
Eunchan is so beautiful.
How can one person make me this happy? 😭😭😭
Combined with the background he literally looks like an angel.
It’s supposed to be a dark concept, but I swear I can see wings behind him.
A 21-year-old man is making it difficult for me to breathe.
An idol who can pull off the same yet completely different image from his drama role?
What do we think about that?
Eunchan’s angle in this scene is insane.
LOOK AT THOSE EYELASHES.
They’re longer than mine.
If you cropped only his eyes, I’d believe he was a mascara model.
Brain: I’ll pay.
Wallet: I’ll die for you.
Just finished buying albums.
└ That’s what money is for anyway. ^^
I felt it during Crescent Flower, but Eunchan is definitely a T-zone visual.
└ His facial structure is crazy. Please let him do another historical drama.
I clipped only Eunchan’s scenes from the MV.
His expressions are incredible.
I felt it during the magazine shoot too, but how does he make expressions like that?
└ Exactly. He uses his face so well. I’ve been looping the MV endlessly.
I want to see the stage already 😭😭😭
He’s such an idol.
I was watching their older activities and almost cried.
How did I not know these boys before?
└ Same. They worked so hard… I feel sorry.
└ At least we found them now.
└ Thank you for holding on this long.
Eunchan, from now on only walk on flower paths 😭😭😭
I’ll support everything you want to do.
I made an account after seeing this young man named Hyun Wooyoung.
What should I watch first?
└ Me too… The visual lineage is complete.
└ Wait, why are there no materials on Wooyoung yet? ^^
└ WHY ARE THERE NO MATERIALS?^^ x2
└ Who said Korea lacks natural resources? A gemstone like this was hidden away.
I have no content to consume so I’m starving 😭
Please upload fancams soon.
Front, back, left, right—I need all of it.
Mass streaming begins tomorrow at 6 PM when the song releases.
Please participate.
The fan-sign announcement just came out.
Why only 70 winners?
Even 100 wouldn’t be enough.
What is the company doing????
On the day of the album release, after returning from the drama wrap-up party, Shim Eunchan sat down beside the members gathered together on the living room sofa before he’d even had a chance to shower.
He pulled out his phone.
“Eunchan, you said you had the wrap-up party today. You got all dressed up. You must be tired. Go wash up first.”
“It’s okay. I can’t exactly be showering when the album drops.”
Eunchan laughed as he answered Minyu.
“There were a lot of reporters, right? Tons of articles came out too.”
“There were more than I expected. I think I was a little awkward.”
Eunchan smiled while remembering the event from earlier that day.
An enormous number of reporters had gathered there.
It made sense.
Crescent Flower was currently not only the highest-rated Friday-Saturday drama but also the highest-rated drama broadcast during the entire first half of the year.
Because of the drama’s popularity, dozens of media outlets had attended.
It was an experience Eunchan had never had before.
According to his manager, some magazines had even contacted him personally.
Others were requesting joint photoshoots with Kim Hyuin.
Once schedules were coordinated, it seemed likely they would be doing a magazine shoot together soon.
The album promotions ahead would be incredibly busy.
But Eunchan didn’t mind.
If anything, he was grateful.
“…”
“Wow. I’m nervous.”
At Do Junseo’s words, Ryu Seo-oh checked the time on his phone and opened his mouth to answer.
