Really honestly! If he spoke, it meant everyone would die together.
Cute, why are these 20-year-old guys’ awkward business so ticklish lololol
Fortunately, messages with good content soon started surging up.
In the midst of that, Go Won opened his mouth.
“…Last year I had an opportunity to see the sunbae-nims’ year-end stage in person.”
“Aha, so you met as singer and audience before being sunbae-hoobae! How was it?”
“I was envious.”
“Oh, envious? In what way?”
“Because I could feel the joy of explosively bursting out a stage prepared with utmost effort, I hoped I could also do such a performance someday.”
“……”
“Newton members must feel so good. Congratulations to Go Won-ssi too for sitting in one place with the sunbae you looked up to.”
“Haha… Yes, I see…. Thank you!”
Even while answering emphatically, Jungho found it hard to bear the feeling of something pressing down frustratingly inside.
“Sparks flying from the rookie’s passion and healthy competition are good, but isn’t the most beautiful thing seeing each other acknowledge one another? Thus, the prepared corner, have you heard of Compliment Prison?”
“Prison but compliments? That’s a contradictory term….”
“I’m not sure.”
“Should I say pouring out compliments to make the other person not know what to do? Exchanging and acknowledging compliments about each other. From Newton, youngest member Yusang-ssi will participate as representative.”
Go Won and Yusang’s gazes met. At that moment, Yusang made an expression like ‘you’re in trouble now.’
‘Jeong Yusang, no!’
Yusang is nineteen, the only one younger than Go Won. A hoobae’s courtesy toward a sunbae is naturally important, but it’s troublesome if words like ‘even so, to hyung?’ come out. So control it well….
“Your will seems really strong. Really seems like you’ve never, ever missed anything in your life.”
“……”
In the silence, Go Won soon answered.
“Thank you.”
The black eyelashes that had been directed downward as if thinking about something smoothly rose up. The moment he thought the eyes became a bit deeper.
“Newton sunbae-nims are really thorough with time management.”
Insane.
Jungho’s fingertips turned cold. At Yusang’s immature provocation, Go Won was also lit on fire.
“…Huh? Time management? Is there some episode?”
“Wow, that? At the practice room, that side went out late….”
“We sometimes have facility usage timing clash exactly! So maybe you remember it like that!”
Yusang and Jungho spoke simultaneously, causing the audio to overlap.
‘Fuck.’
The flustered tone must have all been caught.
“No interference from other members. Please also refrain from compliments needing additional explanation due to time constraints. Now start again!”
Michel’s voice was cheerful, but the gaze looking at both Go Won and Yusang contained the intent to do it properly.
“…The debut song was reeeally good.”
“……”
But it seemed not to reach Yusang, raised preciously as the youngest and center.
“Yes. I also think it’s a good song. As for sunbae-nim….”
“……”
“You’re very honest in your expressions.”
“Ha.”
The atmosphere is… a bit…???
Is Yusang in a bad mood today ㅠ
“…Since Yusang-ssi did a lot, shall Jungho-ssi continue now?”
“Yes! Go Won-ssi is surprisingly handsome!”
“…Thank you. I also always learn what knife-sharp group choreography is from the sunbae-nims’ stages.”
Like that, the atmosphere barely calmed down, and as they moved to the next corner, a harmonious atmosphere was created.
However, the aggro that flowed in a little while ago remained until the end among the fans earnestly saying good things.
Bluntly speaking, I understand mentally having to get along with an adopted sibling, but if you tell kids overnight ‘this is your sibling from today,’ would they accept it~~~ Ah Newton is still a rookie too~~~
Is Yusang in a bad mood today ㅠ
Yeah but being awkward and bullying a hoobae are different words?
What about Won saying the year-end stage was good? Did everyone collectively get dementia
Making a fuss about sunbae, sunbae, but the fact is Newton’s debut song came out after Debut Chart trainees’ group song lol
Is it real that they’re asserting who’s sunbae in front of ancestor Edelweiss…
“Managers, look at me.”
Michel’s channel, which had professionally finished until the ending, went to commercials.
Then Michel, a shining long-term employee with about 17 years at the company including trainee period, summoned fellow company employees.
“It’s really pathetic, but if I get into it, it’s cursing my own family so I’ll endure. Educate the kids’ behavior properly. You know what I mean, right?”
That voice was loud enough to be sufficiently heard by the members.
The already heaven-like great sunbae artist, and now a situation where anyone could see the hoobaes were at fault. Newton and Go Won’s journey home was accomplished in an apologetic atmosphere.
“Won-ah, well…, of course today Newton kids crossed the line first, but from now on in situations like this, don’t respond too head-on, it would be better to complain after coming to the company. You’re the hoobae anyway.”
“……”
After a moment of silence, a small voice leaked out.
“You told me not to live getting hit….”
“Hm? What?”
“Nothing. I’ll be careful. I’m sorry you had to hear bad things from Michel sunbae-nim earlier.”
“Oh my, no. I didn’t say it to hear an apology, I don’t know if you’re suppressing and enduring again. Anyway, let’s be careful of Newton friends for a while. Got it?”
“Yes.”
As always, Go Won answered obediently. And soon stared out the window with an expression showing unknown thoughts.
‘No, is that not it either?’
It was the same expressionless face as always, but today it seemed blank as if lost in thought. Go Won, who had been blankly looking out the window for a while, soon pressed the passenger seat backrest and stuck out his head.
“Hyung, can I… connect music to the car?”
“What’s the occasion? Play it.”
“How do I do it?”
“Won-ah, give me your phone. Execute Bluetooth and….”
With General Manager Park’s help, the phone was soon connected to the car’s speakers.
“It’s Hanje’s song.”
It was the drama OST that took 1st place as if showing off as soon as Go Won’s activities ended, currently rising and falling in the top ranks of the TOP chart.
When one song finished, Go Won searched ‘yACE’ and played the song at the very top. It was a song that hit the Billboard ceiling 3 years ago. It was familiar to his ears too. Even more so to the ears of the former manager.
Among the English lyrics passing quickly, there was a voice that caught the ear once in a while.
‘Hanje, Henzel stepped down from yACE’s main vocal himself.’
As those words said, Baek Hanje’s proportion wasn’t that much. But playing a supporting role throughout the entire song, all nerves concentrated each time it was heard.
Then, in the part that exploded before going to the final highlight after the 2nd verse.
-Aaah—!
His hands got goosebumps at the high-pitched ad-lib poured out in his voice. Go Won unknowingly touched the front part of the play bar.
“Huh? What?”
Those who were excitedly humming the memorized lyrics were puzzled.
“I touched it wrong.”
“Aha.”
Thanks to that, Baek Hanje’s ad-lib was played once more. Next was a b-side from the same album.
Listening to yACE’s past songs, gradually Baek Hanje’s voice began to be distinguished within.
Baek Hanje’s voice freely crossed between falsetto and true voice. Within yACE’s songs that were mostly hip-hop genre, phrases that softly reversed the atmosphere like pre-chorus or bridge were mostly his share. Before a powerful passage approached, enchanting listeners as if embracing them….
…Though his own personality wasn’t like that at all.
‘Speaks meanly, can’t stand not teasing every day….’
Lost in thought, the van dropped him off in front of Go Won’s dorm. While waiting for the elevator, this time he tried typing yACE in the YouTube search bar.
Kindly, there were videos that showed past stages bundled together in formats like <From Debut to Present>.
Thumbnails were half group photos, half center member Cha Yeonsu’s face. Scrolling down a bit more, he found a video with Baek Hanje as the thumbnail. Go Won clicked it.
The first song had the quality broken here and there.
yACE 【Successors of Peace】 M/V
Is this really a song title?
Befitting yACE with many mega-hit songs, the titles were mostly familiar ones.
But this song was very unfamiliar despite being the symbolic debut song.
“……?!”
Soon, in the video, six people wearing white synthetic leather jackets danced with precision. Among them were Director Kwon Taeyoung who seemed similar in age to him… and Baek Hanje who could only be seen as a little kid.
Difficult concept, difficult dance and song…, and lyrics….
“……”
Baek Hanje looked much younger than Go Won’s younger sister. His voice was also thin as if puberty hadn’t come.
But the characteristic gaze, the cold and arrogant look, remained the same despite the young age.
From age 14 sharp thug vibes insane, riding a motorcycle telling the female lead to be happy and distancing himself, second male lead material insane, Baek Hanje
