The Idol Who Returned from Hell Chapter 122

With CENTIX’s monumental 1st place achievement, all communities boasted active regeneration.

There were many posts reviewing their meteoric rise to this point, devouring all kinds of records.

But the hottest video among MILLENNIUM was something else entirely.

[BEST! Common rookie boy idol encore stage (feat. total chaos, yet live vocals are still insane)]

(Link) I can’t even count how many killing points are in this video……

Si-hwan peacefully looking at the scoreboard, then suddenly stunned the moment 1st place was announced (photo)

Seon-woo just innocently applauding with his reaction button pressed while beaming next to him (photo)

185cm giant Ma Si-hyeok who was on the far left getting startled when confetti burst (gif)

And baby Ha-woon crying his eyes out from start to finish (photo)

After all the acceptance interviews ended and they started singing lol I don’t know what Si-hwan saw from the audience but you could see him trying to hold back laughter from the beginning, turns out one MILLENNIUM had left a review on his Bluebird (link) about eating their slogan Si-hwan must have seen that lmao

So when the leader started laughing a bit, Ha-ru who’s usually composed began showing strange signs, then seeing Ha-woon’s tears turn on again he completely burst out laughing LOL (gif) Like you shouldn’t laugh but the kid was crying so pitifully I was dying of laughter too ugh…

But since he still had to perform on stage while crying, our youngest’s body moves but his actions go the opposite way (gif) And Seon-woo frantically telling him (photo) And the same-age duo dancing trapped in their own world not knowing what’s happening beside them (photo)

Starting with the confetti, you could see signs of chaos, then from the moment the youngest burst into tears all the older brothers lost it too LOL But somehow in the middle of this chaos the kids’ singing was incredible… What are these guys really

―LMAO I just saw that tweet and came here, I’m going crazy LOL. Why are you covering your mouth with a slogan lol But why does Leader Ryu’s eyes meet at that exact moment LOL

―(gif) (gif) Ah Ma Si-hyeok really looks so tough but he gets spooked like that just because a few pieces of confetti flutter in front of his head?

└His reaction speed is so fast that makes it even funnier LOL. He instinctively crouched the moment he heard the pop sound

└Si-hyeok, there are things in this world more dangerous and scary than those confetti, how are you going to survive this harsh world sob. This big sister will protect you

└Wouldn’t he be even more scared seeing that big sister?

└Delusion posts are banned from fact violence ^ㅗ^

―(photo) How pitifully did Ha-woon cry that he even had snot running, what should we do T_T

└Isn’t he the first male idol to show snot on a music show stage??

└Ah lol CENTIX kids, you don’t need to take the first title for things like this!!!

└Everyone…… No matter how much you say our oppas are like oppas on stage, our youngest is still only 18 years old, he’s at the perfect age for emotional explosions so please understand

└Of course we understand, we’re actually asking him to cry more, you know?? Yu Ha-woon’s crying face is so thrilling and cute it destroys the world

└???

└????

└Mom, another person with weird taste came, I’m scared

―When I watched the live broadcast I was just distracted by Ha-woon crying so I couldn’t see details lol. But now watching the video again, Hwi and Si-hyeok were really doing sharp choreography way over there, I’m going crazy

└What, comedy and art coexisting on one stage

└Comedy is also a type of art so let’s just say the entire stage was art

└Wow but I also just learned from reading everyone’s posts that Si-hwan smiled slightly when singing the first verse……

└2222 me too LOL I was just like wow he started singing right away and his vocal color is insane! and that was it

A scene of young men with an average age of 19.8 exploding with emotion.

The encore stage video, where you could simultaneously see those young men’s professional side, received MILLENNIUM’s overwhelming love.

There was the glory of their first 1st place moment, but even though they’re idols who thoroughly manage their image, their sincere tears touched fans’ hearts even more.

Yu Ha-woon’s individual fans even created memes with the title ‘Burst Water Dumpling Steamed Bun.’

―(photo) Baby Ha-woon is so cute……

└He was even cuter in person, no matter what anyone said he always nodded his head enthusiastically and every time that curly hair bounced around LOL

└Damn did you go to the first fan signing??

└I went to both fan signings last week―.

└So jealous

MILLENNIUM who got massacred in the first week fan signing competition with its intense competition were once again consumed by the desire to see CENTIX up close.

―Hey Rave what are you doing! Aren’t you announcing the next fan signing schedule??

―You have to row hard when the tide comes in, Hyeong-seok, what are you doing instead of working? I’m telling you I’ll spend money for you, all right?? Just because initial sales ended doesn’t mean everything’s over!

└Even Hyeong-seok would know that, right?

└You have to threaten Hyeong-seok with a knife like this for him to listen relatively well

└It’s not threatening with a knife, we’re threatening with money

As if Rave sensed this desperate feeling, the very next morning an additional fan signing announcement was posted on the fan cafe.

―??? Why is this happening

―Ah why does it have to be this weekend T_T

―Wait, this suddenly popped up so my head actually hurts, how many albums should I buy??

└Probably not lower than last fan signing’s cutoff

└No no, it might be the opposite, people who couldn’t go last time might full-invest this time lol

└That person is me ^.^ Damn, I learned life’s bitter taste. Rather than investing ambiguously, it’s the right answer to just boldly over-invest!

└Hey big sister, have some mercy please

└Ah that won’t work T_T T_T I’m completely broke right now but ugh

└The fan signing cutoff will probably go over 100 again

MILLENNIUM frantically checked their bank account balances at news of fan signings proceeding on Saturday and Sunday.

How many albums to buy for safety and whether to put everything on one location or split it – there were quite a few headaches.

Meanwhile, a clearly trolling post was uploaded, making the community noisy.

[Seriously those guys had no manners lol]

I’m not even their fan but my acquaintance is such a hardcore fan she went to their fan signing recently so I heard this story lol

Rookies who debuted less than a month ago went to the fan signing and said stuff like ‘I’m excited to see what gifts you prepared’ LOL. What, are fans some kind of vending machine that spits out gifts? Saying that right to their faces? Well, birds of a feather flock together, that’s why their heads are so broken they’re burning hundreds lol. Not even bragging about money lol. Go give that to your parents instead lol

―What kind of weird bullshit is this again?

―LMAO Hey who are you to say our kids have no manners LOL. Honestly you didn’t even hear this directly, it’s hearsay communication, what are we supposed to believe?

└Even if it’s true, why is this a problem?? It was CENTIX’s first fan signing, right? After getting exploited and struggling for months on 〈ISL2〉 and finally debuting with difficulty, saying they were too excited about fans’ gifts at their first fan signing is something they can totally say, right? Am I the only one who doesn’t understand?

└Lol. These suckers are everywhere so rookies lose their damn minds

└Lol. Then do punks like you even have the financial power to be suckers? ^^

└Whether they’re suckers or whatever, the kids didn’t throw tantrums asking for luxury goods lol. If you were someone who went to the first fan signing scene you’d know 70 out of 100 people were standing there with giant shopping bags, so naturally they might think ‘ah, they must have brought something to give us’, anyway haters always cause trouble wherever they go lol

Since before debut, when 〈Idol Stove League Season 2〉 started gaining tremendous popularity, weird people had been latching on.

Even during 〈Chronic〉’s release when they were crushing all kinds of records with their ultra-express trajectory, intense checks and hate were rampant.

Even malicious netizens who specifically crawled into fan communities to cause trouble had MILLENNIUM in a state where their anger was at its peak.

So they focused on completely and mercilessly shutting down the trolls without a shred of mercy.

―These bastards’ patterns are always the same 1. Writing posts without proper videos or evidence 2. Always not something they heard themselves, definitely an acquaintance told them 3. Always ends with ‘live your real life’, ‘no matter what you do your oppas won’t remember you anyway’

└4. Always turns out to be another group’s fan when you investigate LOL

└LOL. Just funny how I’m not sucking someone else’s money away, I’m spending my own earned money as I please, what’s the problem? ^_^

└Probably got inspired by that male idol who sent personal messages to his fan for 10 months asking her to buy luxury goods last month and came to hate lol

└No fucking way lol. That was really openly saying to be deceived and asking to be treated like a sucker lol. How is that connected to saying ‘I’m curious about gifts!’ at a fan signing

└Trolls’ thought circuits are all burnt out so they can’t even connect proper context

―Why are you coming here to vent your frustration about not having money to invest in your oppas T_T. You should live your real life and fill your bank account T_T

―I enjoy my hobbies while buying clothes for my parents last week so enough to be filial, so please mind your own business.

After receiving carpet bombing, the post author immediately deleted and ran.

They succeeded in suppressing it in less than 10 minutes, but MILLENNIUM couldn’t shake off the unpleasant aftertaste.

―We always suppress immediately but our kids won’t see posts like this……?

―Ah please, CENTIX kids should only see pretty words sob

―Still, the kids have strong mentals so I’m not worried, but I feel sorry for no reason, we’re sorry ugh……

“Hmm.”

I put down my phone for a moment. Then I looked around and observed the members’ movements.

“Ughhhh……”

“Snore, snore.”

“…….”

The guys who had gotten used to napping in the van were already exploring dreamland.

Even Kang Seon-woo, who usually had a high probability of staying awake, had fallen fast asleep today with an eye mask over his face, probably tired.

‘At least it’s good that I’m the only one reading posts like this.’

This level of trolling was cute compared to other things, but it didn’t feel very pleasant.

Because I actually had said something similar to that at the fan signing.

It was a comment that came out reflexively since most MILLENNIUM had prepared large shopping bags.

I had simply meant ‘I’m curious what kind of gifts you brought to the fan signing,’ but I only just now learned it could be caught as a weak point by malicious accounts.

‘I can’t let my guard down.’

Idols especially need to be careful about every word and action. It felt like I had been too complacent about such special aspects.

{You don’t need to worry so much, Master. You know there are more people with a screw loose than normal humans.}

‘Of course I know that, but there’s something I’ve felt since before.’

{What?}

Cerberus, who was curled up on my thigh, tilted his head.

I scratched his soft chin while smiling faintly.

‘Even if I hear such nonsense it doesn’t become a problem for me, but it seems like the fans get stressed for no reason.’

{Hey, from what I’ve roughly observed around Master, most MILLENNIUM? Right? MILLENNIUM aren’t ordinary people. They won’t be shaken by such pathetic bugs.}

‘That’s true, but it’s been no joke since our broadcast days. Even if I don’t want to care, when it accumulates there’s nothing I can do about it.’

{The method is simple! From Master’s perspective, what do you think MILLENNIUM likes most?}

What do the fans like most?

I looked at Cerberus’s eyes for a moment.

Then I realized what he was trying to say.

‘They talk for days just from one small hint.’

I thought about where CENTIX’s van was heading now and what kind of preview would drop in a few days.

I picked up my phone again and turned on the camera.

While fixing my slightly disheveled bangs, I laughed inwardly.

‘I should tell Hwi thanks.’
