When I Opened My Eyes I Was A Superstar

Chapter 22

22: Rising Sun (2)Translated by:EatApplePies

Life Song was a live broadcast.

The members, who had stopped by the shop early in the morning to get their hair done and finished two rehearsals wearing the wardrobe they received from the stylist team of Lucas and his assistants, fell into a little bit of a state of panic.

Of course, they were fantastic in the rehearsal. Everyone who had seen KK's performance, from the Life Song PD to the staff in charge of setting up the stage, predicted that it was the birth of a 'monster rookie'.

Nevertheless, the members were in a state of panic for no other reason than they were extremely nervous.

Even Do Wook was no exception. Despite his mental age being over 30 years old, despite having lived this day before, it was the first time in Kang Do Wook's life. Performing, that is.

"How about deciding on a chant?"

They were rookies that were gaining a lot of attention, but a rookie was still a rookie. KK was sharing a waiting room with an unknown band and a rookie idol girl group.

Due to the room being closed off by partitions, the six members and company staff had no choice but to use the cramped space. Thanks to that, everyone heard the suggestion Do Wook gave in a small voice and perked up their ears.

"A chant?"

Jung Yoon Ki, who took on the role of leader, asked back.

The chant yelled to pump themselves up before getting on the stage was determined based on that group's unique characteristics. Not every team had a chant from the beginning. If an idol group went around loudly yelling a unique slogan during broadcasts, that slogan would become famous along with the group and become one of the identities that showed the characteristics of the group.

Shouting a chant before a broadcast was also a good way to have the group's name stuck in the staff's head. It was an idea Do Wook thought of while thinking of a way to ease the tension.

"I like it, sure!"

Ahn Hyung Seo got excited, saying 'Let's decide on a chant' and urging people to give their opinions. He even asked Lucas, who was putting away the outfits, for suggestions.

At the end, they decided on one of Kim Won's ideas as the chant.

The live broadcast began. KK's performance was around the end of the show. The tension reached its peak.

When the staff called them, the members followed Oh Baek Ho and entered the hallway that connected to the stage. While the members were doing microphone checks etc., and leaving their bodies under the staffs' care, the new idol girl group, who just finished their performance on the same stage, were coming out one at a time wearing identical outfits.

"Wow."

Kim Won let out a small exclamation after seeing a pretty female member. Then, fearing Oh Baek Ho's scary vibe, he gasped and closed his mouth.

The KK members were wearing free-spirited hip hop style outfits. The clothes were from existing luxury brands, but it looked new because it was reinterpreted using Lucas's styling.

"Just do it like you do in rehearsal, guys."

Right before they went up to the stage with Oh Baek Ho's words in mind, the six of them put their hands together and yelled,

"I Kei, you Kei! Let's go, KK!"

Then the six of them, who stood on the stage, opened their mouths and couldn't help but be surprised. KK's emergence was met with tremendous roars ringing in their eardrums.
