Chapter 239

Do-hee seemed really frustrated sleeping on the floor.

[Chairman with a Grudge]

[Do-hee: Two people. The last two need to go grocery shopping.]

─You said we should take a break, but now you keep trying to pull content out of us lol

─Come on, guys, just lose once! Do-hee needs to win for this to end…

[Na-eun: Do we sing even if we don’t know the song?]

[Do-hee: Of course. If you sing even a little off or awkwardly? Immediate points deduction. You’re out. Last place.]

[Is the Chairman Angry...?]

The members gathered in the living room and turned on the karaoke machine.

[The Sudden Start of Practice Songs]

[Everybody cut foot loose]

Each of them took on their unique positions on the sofa, in the living room, on the floor, standing, and sitting, as they got ready for the practice songs.

However, even while swaying to the rhythm, their chaotic singing was remarkably unified.

[Ah, van, tu- tri- po!]

[If You’re Having Fun, It’s All Good]

[You, I’m playing! So cool~]

[Oh, bailing, every heel roll~]

[Seo-yoon: Wow, great song choice!]

[Members' Hilariously Offbeat Sense of Rhythm]

─Lol, it’s a disaster

Ding- the sound effect announced the screen change immediately.

[Chiyo: Come on, 1st.]

The evening challenge began right away.

[Do-hee: The judges will be watching your introductions.]

[Production Staff of Three Set for a Very Fair Judging]

[Seo-yoon: Staff, you know my heart, right~? My heart! 486! I love you~]

Waving her number 486, Seo-yoon delivered her cute aegyo.

<♡Cuteness 100 Points♡>

[Na-eun: Is there a number 486?]

Just as the members were trying to remember, a rustic melody unexpectedly flowed from the speakers.

[Wow… Seosan Ggotma-eul.]

[A song from ’77.]

[That noona is done for. It’s over.]

─Lol, look at that intro

─This is real entertainment value lol

─Who’s that roaring with laughter again? Do-hee? lol

[Seo-yoon: ……Ah.]

[Seo-yoon's Love Grows Cold, 486]

[Do-hee: Hahaha (loud laughter)]

[Chairman Who’s Already Satisfied Before It Starts]

Still, Seo-yoon was no stranger to stages and concerts.

[Tambourine +10 Fun]

True to her veteran status, she quickly lifted the mood by jingling a tambourine and dancing.

[Chiyo: Hey! (Clap)]

[Charming Melodies That Appeal Regardless of Korea or Japan]

Thanks to the rising excitement, Chiyo began dancing to the rhythmic tune.

With a diamond step and palms spread wide, she danced like a country grandma who loves trot music.

─Chiyo lol Were you raised by a Korean grandma?

─Where did you learn such moves? lol

─This is too absurd, I can’t take it lol

The lyrics appeared on the screen in karaoke font, and fingers started folding down one by one.
The lyrics of the trot began to appear, and fingers started to fold one by one.

Three, two, one!

And then Seo-yoon’s potential exploded!

[Seo-yoon: Shall I pick the shells ⤳ or the abalone? ⤳♪]

[Debonaire Me-bo can do trot too...? ]

─LOL, seriously so good

─Wait, is trot a fairy of vocal tones? LOL

[Seo-yoon: Brrrr~ let’s go coastal ⤻]

[Vote for your favorite vocal!]

*

The sound of applause rang out.

[The stage that temporarily threatened the Trot Emperor, Na Kang-min]

[Do-hee: Seriously, unnie, you sang the best song I’ve ever seen.]

And as expected, Seo-yoon scored high!

[An uncontainable smirk at the high score]

[Woo-ah: Ah… what to do.]

[Betrayal from the trusted coastal village of Seosan]

With her turn coming up next, Woo-ah anxiously bit her nails.

[Do-hee: Enough, next.]

As if she made up her mind, Woo-ah grabbed the microphone and stood in the middle of the living room.

[Woo-ah: Hello, is it me? I’m counting on the judges~]

[Na-eun (good leader): Fighting~]

Na-eun’s cute two-handed cheer brought smiles to the fans.

[Chiyo: Is there no personality or effort in your self-introduction?]

[Do-hee: Are you asking the judges for biased judging right now?]

[Seo-yoon: Wow, Jiwoo.]

The trio’s interference continued, unable to watch the high scorer for their own reasons.

[Woo-ah: Yes. I will do number 123.]

[Do-hee (One Ddangji): What does 123 mean?]

[Seo-yoon (Two Ddangji): What kind of meaning does it have?]

[Chiyo (Three Ddangji): Is there even a hint of personality in your song selection…? Ah, geez.]

[The trio 'Ddangji-seu' who lets criticism breathe]

─Ddangji-seu, LOL

─I like the name, well done, LOL

─From now on, it’s the trio combination, Ddangji-seu

Of course, Woo-ah wasn’t going to stay quiet.

[A deadly expression with finger pointing]

[Woo-ah: One, two, three. 123. (chilling)]

[The Ddangji-seu received a death threat]

[Do-hee: Ugh…!]

[Seo-yoon: It’s okay. I’m the older sister.]

[Chiyo: …Applause!]

Quickly checking Woo-ah’s reaction, Do-hee jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the karaoke machine to press 123, and the intro began to flow.

[123 – Winter Rose]

[Na-eun: Winter Rose?]

─Oh, but this song selection is lit, LOL

It was truly a serene, old-school R&B tune.

[Woo-ah: …I was too young to know back then.]

[Sweetness exceeds limits]

As expected, this song that wasn’t fun or enjoyable would get a high score was a well-known fact to everyone.

Plus, it was natural that they couldn’t sing it well since they had never heard it before.
Of course, it’s natural that they couldn’t sing perfectly since it was their first time hearing the song.

The staff members were turning away from the stage, while Ddangji-seu kept glancing over.

Ddangji-seu huddled together and whispered secretly.

[Seo-yoon: Ugh, it’s so boring. The atmosphere is so down…]

[Do-hee: Well, this unnie is definitely going shopping.]

[Chiyo: So lame… Woo-ah is totally out of the picture…]

[The sound of Woo-ah's score going down equals happiness]

Whenever Woo-ah turned her head towards the members, Ddangji-seu clapped and showered her with compliments.

[Do-hee: Wowhoo!]

[Seo-yoon: Wow!]

[Chiyo: Yum?]

[Oh-no-ten]

─Seriously, this Oh-no-ten had to show up here, hahaha.

─Hahaha, are they a girl group or entertainers?

─Their voices are all just so hilarious, seriously, hahahahaha.

And just like that, the stage filled with laughter and applause came to an end.

[Do-hee: Ah~ Thank you for the good song.]

[Woo-ah: Did you enjoy it?]

[Do-hee: The best, the best!]

ㅡDorahee is seriously not going anywhere, hahaha.

Viewers chuckled at the sight of Do-hee stepping up to take the microphone and welcome Woo-ah.

And finally, the scores from the judges were raised high!

[What is this score!!!]

[Do-hee: No way, how does this score come out?]

[Woo-ah: What?]

[Do-hee: How can this be the only score?!!]

[Woo-ah: Aha~]

ㅡDorahee’s every comment today is genuinely funny, hahahahaha.

Of course, while everyone was quietly holding back, occasional voices of fair criticism and frustration could be heard.

[Na-eun: How can that be 86 and 84!!!]

─Na-eun can’t lie, hahaha.

─The leader, the oldest, with such confidence, haha.

─Ddangji-seu, sneaky little devils, how annoying~

[Do-hee: Why? There are so many ears in this world. There are different tastes, right?]

[Woo-ah: Oh, our little sister speaks well. Good, good.]

─Rahee was the chairman during the day, but suddenly became the sneaky little devil position, it’s hilarious, I’m losing it.

*

[Participant 3 Chiyo (not Chicken Mayo)]

─The editor is slowly losing their grip on reality while editing, hahaha.

─Now even the subtitles are totally out of control, lol.

[Chiyo: Hello, my name is Kim Ji-su.]

[Do-hee: Kim Ji-su? Are you trying to scam us from the introduction?]

[Seo-yoon: Anyone can see you’re Japanese.]

[Ddangji-seu splits at the speed of light]

Yesterday’s comrade is today’s enemy.

In Chiyo’s stage, there were no friends.

[Chiyo: Um… Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.]

[Do-hee: Speaking Japanese on a Korean show…?]

[Seo-yoon: Ah~ The Broadcasting and Communications Commission might have a problem with this.]

[Woo-ah: Did you really have to speak in Japanese…?]

And yesterday’s enemy became today’s comrade.

[Ddangji-seu has completed the recruit of a new member—Jiwoo, an active player with high expectations.]
Expected performance from the athlete.

─What is this, a sports club? LOL Debonaire Ddangji-seu!

─LOL Who’s the leader of Ddangji-seu?

In the midst of it all, Do-hee was seen whispering while nudging Na-eun. Do-hee was gesturing for Na-eun to also say something quickly.

[Na-eun: (hesitates) …I’ll speak after my turn.]

[Ddangji-seu sadly fails to offer FA player Na-eun]

─It turns out the owner of Ddangji-seu is Dorahee! LOL

─Recruitment failure! Hahaha!

─In the meantime, instead of saying she won’t participate, she’ll just do it after her turn! Hahaha!

A worried expression from Ddangji-seu’s owner.

With Do-hee’s mysterious expression.

[Chiyo: Yes! I’ll go with number 8500!]

The button was pressed, and finally, Chiyo’s stage began.

[8500─You got it!!]

[Na-eun: New Kids on the Block?]

[Seo-yoon: Isn’t that a famous song?]

[Woo-ah: Chiyo might know it?]

[Do-hee: I just searched, and it’s in the Billboard top 10. This song.]

As the members accurately guessed, a flood of viewers in the chat started commenting that they knew the song.

─Oh, I know this song for the first time.

─I feel like I’ve heard of it.

[Chiyo: …Eh.]

[Unknown]

─Right, she doesn’t know.

Chiyo switched gears.

[Mood: Passion]

[Chiyo: Yo, check it out!]

That was an unforgettable moment where she showcased a local grandma vibe along to Seo-yoon’s trot.

Chiyo’s body reacted automatically to the hip-hop rhythm.

[Wild New Kids on the Chiyo has appeared!]

[Seo-yoon: Hey, this is good!]

[Woo-ah: Uh…?]

[Do-hee: Hahaha, wow!]

[Na-eun: Awesome!]

The members burst into laughter once again, and Chiyo enjoyed her time on stage.

[Chiyo: First, time was a great time~ Whoo!]

[Randomly singing along]

Those who strive can’t be beaten by those who play and enjoy.

[Cute and dazzling footwork left everyone dizzy]

─Haha, I’m really losing my mind over this.

─I’ve never seen a girl group do this! LOL

Chiyo showed off her footwork while giving a cool glance at the judges.

[Are you watching, judges?]

[Woo-ah: …Not bad?]

[Na-eun: …Why is she so good?]

[Do-hee: No, seriously, she’s a genius. Why is she so good?]

─Haha, I’m seriously losing it.

─I mean, it’s funny, but having that kind of swag is a talent too.

Then, as if she was receiving a reward that matched her talent and effort.

[Na-eun: Chiyo, you really nailed it.]

Receiving compliments.

[Scores also nailed it.]

[Chiyo: Huh?]

─That’s just unfair, LOL I worked so hard.

─Pitch got a 0! Hahaha!

─But the performance was cool, she was totally a top idol!

Now only two stages remained.

Leader Na-eun and CEO Do-hee.
