Second Try Idol

Chapter 21: Survival Show - Cover Song (6)

A live broadcast suddenly started in the bustling practice room, and the chat room became wild at the request of a fan to perform “Magic Pendant Woooah.”

- ???????????????????? Magic Pendant Woooah!

- Magic Pendant Woooah!

- Magic Pendant Woooah!

- Magic Pendant Woooah!

- ?????????????????? What? ??????

- Magic Pendant Woooah!

The chat room started to be filled with mentions of “Magic Pendant.” Meanwhile, Sae-Youn from Allure looked on in confusion as he was unfamiliar with the Red Riding Hood Cha-Cha phenomenon.

"What is this 'Magic Pendant Woooah' thing?" asked Sae-Youn, feeling puzzled.

"Ma...Magic... Pen...dant... Ahahahaha..."

Unable to contain their laughter any longer, the previously tense members of Chronos finally burst out laughing. This meme was well-known among those who kept up with recent idol trends or frequented UTube.

“Magic Pendant Woooah.”

It was a viral text representation of the high note I had hit in the popular Red Riding Hood Cha-Cha performance. Recently, the comments section of that video had been swamped with cries of "Magic Pendant Woooah," almost like a rite of passage for viewers. It had only been a week since the upload, and I already became a laughingstock, relentlessly teased by my fellow group members back at the dorm.

Thanks to that, my face was turning all shades of red by the time Tucan read the chat.

"Oh, that! Uh... hy-hyung," I stuttered.

"Why is everyone laughing? What? What? Tell me!" asked Sae-Youn again.

The only ones not laughing were the clueless Sae-Youn and me.

"Come on, do it. Hyungs are as-king," said Yoo-Joon.

"Goh Yoo-Joon, this isn't the time to laugh. Do it here...?" I asked.

‘We just introduced ourselves so gracefully, didn't we?’

The chat that was occasionally filled with comments about how handsome and heartwarming we were was now flooded with "??" and "Pendant Woooah."

"... Uh, hyung," I muttered.

"Why? You should do it, Hyun-Woo. It's a good opportunity to showcase yourself, so you should."

"Let's do it. Come on. Hyun-Woo, step forward."

"I will get you a full-body shot. Just a moment."

‘Seriously, guys!’

Tucan excitedly moved next to the mirror and inadvertently captured me in his video, who was standing in a daze. However, I couldn’t say anything as the camera was on. Allure members were urging me to quickly try the gesture, saying it would make us more popular. Meanwhile, Chronos members were in the back, shrugging it off as it wasn’t their business and just watching. I was the only one feeling embarrassed.

What could I do? As the Allure members pointed out, I was just a rookie who had not even debuted. If enduring a bit of teasing was the price to pay for increasing our group's popularity, then I had to embrace it.

‘Ugh, singing high notes makes me feel drained, but oh well!’

“Okay, let’s go. One, two, three!” On Da-Win's count, I took a deep breath.

"Woah, ma, magic, pen-dan-t, woo-ah!"

Following that, the entire practice room erupted in laughter. The Allure members, our manager, and especially my fellow Chronos members were in stitches. Some were even shedding tears from the sheer hilarity, and even Sae-Youn, who had been previously clueless, couldn't resist joining in the laughter.

So, this was the expected outcome. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but find it not funny at all.

“Ah, dang! I spaced out for a moment there. It’s even funnier seeing it in real life!”

“It’s funnier because the most obedient-looking one is doing it!”

With a mild frustration in my voice, I exclaimed, "Since then, it seems like everyone I meet only talks about that!"

Even my family would replay the video endlessly and say that my dad had finally found his sense of humor. However, weren’t they all laughing a bit too much at my expense?

I found the whole situation irritating, especially Goh Yoo-Joon's reaction. He seemed to be laughing the hardest, and that irked me the most.

I then spoke with a slightly disgruntled face as I faced the camera. "But hyung, am I the only one doing this?"

"Haha, cough... um, what?" Da-Win looked at me while trying to hold back his laughter. It was clear that he found my acting amusing.

I complained, “Please give my members a chance to showcase their abilities too. It seems unfair for me to do it myself.”

“Oh, right! What about the other members? Jin-Sung took off his wig and danced, right?”

“Yes! That!”

“What else was there?”

As Da-Win recalled the memorable moments from the video, I quietly suggested, “How about we all do it together here?”

“All together?”

“Yes, but just for a minute so as to not disturb your livestream,” I said.

My request to not disturb their livestream seemed to be well-received, as indicated by the chatroom’s positive response. Thankfully, they didn't see us as a nuisance, which brought me a sense of relief. Da-Win also seemed on board with the idea.

Fans quickly fell for us, thanks to Allure’s live broadcasts and the Red Riding Hood clip. Even the unofficial footage helped gather momentum, and soon a dedicated fan channel for Chronos appeared on UTube.

Chronos became the second group among the Pick We Up cast to have fan channels established before their real debut. However, due to unspoken fan rules about a certain incident involving Chronos, these channels predominantly featured our humorous moments, which had recently become a hot topic.

Some also edited and posted profile shots from the official Chronos channel, but the only videos suitable for promoting Chronos in the short term were the Red Riding Hood and Allure's livestream videos.

To make matters worse...

UNET recently realized that videos uploaded under Chronos's name had been receiving positive attention, so they uploaded another video with this title.

It was a video of Suh Hyun-Woo looking at Park Yoon-Chan and asking, "Is Cha-Cha a joke?"

LOL. How did this group become a comedic group even before their debut?

└SoSleepy · 30 seconds ago

Is their direct senior not Allure? They are so different from them. Their agency must be so nervous.

In their journey, Chronos would build a unique fan base that would significantly sway future viewer votes—though that was a tale for another occasion. The group was known for their lighthearted and humorous approach, radiating an endearingly quirky vibe that contrasted sharply with Allure’s serious demeanor. Over time, Chronos’s image would continue to evolve, becoming even more pronounced and comedic.

This was how fans, media outlets, and the general public saw Chronos. Little did they know, the group was gearing up to surprise everyone with a dramatic shift, showcasing their versatility through a sensual and poetic track titled “Moon Sea.”
