“Yes!”
Outgram is a microblogging network service that mainly focuses on photos and short videos, unlike other community or SNS platforms.
You can’t post unless you attach a photo or video, and lately, it’s been testing live-streaming features.
Before I came back, influencer Gao Yan had hit 15 million followers on that very SNS platform, Outgram. Yes, that’s what I’m talking about.
As I remembered that, I glanced toward Gao Yan, only to meet his gaze, since he’d been staring at me the whole time.
‘I! Can help! You!’
Oh, seriously.
Pretending not to see his silent cry, I turned back to the front.
“My Outgram follower count just hit 3 million a few days ago, so thank you all! Since we’re all here, why don’t we take a group photo?”
At some point, Choi Gaon had pulled out his phone, grinning brightly.
“My phone is connected to the screen, so you can see the photo along with me.”
A junior writer held up a sketchbook with the words ‘Trainees, please gather close!’ written on it. As we gathered, Choi Gaon set his phone to selfie mode and called out loudly.
“Alright, I’m taking it! One, two—”
Click!
With expert flair, Choi Gaon demonstrated his selfie skills and marveled briefly at the picture that appeared on the auditorium screen.
“Now, I’m going to post this photo on my Outgram. Don’t worry, everyone looks great!”
The screen, still connected to Choi Gaon’s phone, now showed the Outgram interface.
As Choi Gaon tagged the post with hashtags like #TargetingStar and #StarShooter, a flood of notifications appeared instantly.

“Wow…”
The sudden barrage of notifications made several trainees gasp.
It was a prime example of what the notification screen of a solo idol with 3 million followers looked like.
As the auditorium screen threatened to overload from the rush of notifications, Choi Gaon smoothly unplugged his phone and continued the session like a pro.
“Haha, I didn’t show you that to brag about my follower count. It’s all related to today’s mission!”
As he spoke, small beeps and vibrations started coming from the phones that had been collected from the trainees earlier.
At the same time, the giant ‘MISSION TIME’ text on the auditorium screen changed to ‘CRIRP! SNS TIME.’
“You may have guessed it, but yes, today’s mission is related to Outgram. Your task is to gain followers and likes!”
As the cameras zoomed in on the trainees’ surprised faces, Logan quickly leaned over to me and whispered.
“Jesus, Chunyong hyung. Can trainees even use SNS? I remember, didn’t the writer say something before the first shoot about that…?”
