– Everything you think is right
But not everything that glitters is gold
As the second verse began, three more trainees joined the stage.
Unlike the previous trio, these three wore slightly more relaxed outfits and walked to the center of the stage with smiles on their faces.
– You see, I am
Crucial, maybe even Glitter
The most striking of them all was…
Kim Chunyong, moving his shoulders in time with the synth-pop beats, echoing the sharpness of Choi Gaon’s own vocals and signature choreography.
– Dance with me, Music, Stage
I’m sure if it’s this, it’ll be perfect
…. Kim Chunyong.
Choi Gaon was stunned, watching Kim Chunyong replicate the precise hand movements he himself had carefully crafted into the performance.
‘I knew he was good, but how did he nail down the choreography details this well?’
Perhaps it was because of his earlier conversation with Liu Wei, or maybe it was the recent string of troubles plaguing Chunyong that made this feel like the performance where everything might change.
Kim Chunyong’s rapid steps and fierce energy seemed to exceed his usual intensity.
The worry Choi Gaon had about his song being used as a tool to mock other trainees, or just to propel someone else’s debut, began to dissipate as a smile slowly spread across his face.
‘If it goes like this, the stage might actually turn out great…!’
And Choi Gaon wasn’t the only one to notice.
“W-wow…”
AG Corporation couldn’t even dare utter her earlier comment about how “it feels like Liu Wei is the star,” because her mouth had fallen open at the sight of Chunyong.
And—
“Oh, right! Nulbom! Ch-Chunyong!”
“I’m filming it…!”
Without needing any prompting, NBML’s hands and eyes were already locked on Kim Chunyong’s every move.
If Liu Wei had perfected the dance’s finer details through countless hours of practice, Kim Chunyong’s strength lay in his eight years of stage experience.
He knew how to mask his nausea from drinking, how to maintain a bright smile, where the cameras were, and how to adjust his stance when he wasn’t in the center.
– Peep-bo, one more time, One Two
Let’s keep playing Beer Pong together
As an experienced trainee, Kim Chunyong knew exactly how to make an impression on stage.
NBML was overjoyed watching Kim Chunyong dance alongside Ryota, giving a playful “V” above his head for some playful chemistry, and she silently cheered.
‘This is it, amazing!’
However, deep down, she couldn’t help but feel a tiny bit of regret.
Since the song was originally intended for Choi Gaon, it was primarily a solo performance.
– Poppin’ fireworks explode
