I’m a Genius Idol but my Passive is Sunfish Chapter 19

– DASE on visual radio is starting at 1 o’clock!! FYI♡

– Is the Imjingak ice idol coming on today??

– I get to see our Shiyoon showing off his senior vibeㅠㅠ

– When is DASE on?

 

The live chat scrolled rapidly. As the second half approached, the number of viewers watching the visual radio climbed noticeably.

 

[Shiyoon: Shiyoon’s Begin Again. In part two, we’ll be joined by the Ice Princes from the Winter Kingdom, DASE. Anyone who wants to play a fun game with us~ Stick right here~ We’ll be back after the commercials.]

 

Part 1 of Shiyoon’s Begin Again ended with the announcement of DASE’s appearance in Part 2. Shiyoon, who had taken off his headphones, exchanged words with the writer and then smiled brightly.

 

His gaze was on something over the writer’s shoulder. Shiyoon waved.

 

– Why is our puppy suddenly smiling so pretty?ㅜㅜ

– The junior group must be here

– Shiyoon’s sweet sunbae energy is killing me(tears)

 

The camera angle shifted, capturing the entire studio. DASE entered one by one in casual clothes.

 

Shiyoon also stood up to greet the members. As the nervous DASE bowed in sync, Shiyoon also bowed in return.

 

– Cute, so cute~

– Shiyoon is being awkward lol so cute ( ˃̣̣̣̣o˂̣̣̣̣ )

– At this rate they’re gonna do full bows at each other lol

 

With the writer’s mediation, the members finally sat down. With Shiyoon in the center, the members were divided to the left and right.

 

30 seconds before the start of Part 2. The members, with their headphones on, looked at each other with stiff faces.

 

[Shiyoon: Shiyoon’s Begin Again. Our first guest of the new year is ID’s monster rookie, born in the winter, DASE. Welcome~]

 

[Group: One, two, three. For your day! Hello. We are DASE!]

 

Led by Minseong’s count, their team slogan rang out. DASE’s first-ever radio broadcast began.

 

[Shiyoon: This booming sound. I can already feel the rookie’s spirit. Today is your first radio broadcast since your debut, right?]

 

[Group: Yes, that’s right.]

 

At Shiyoon’s words asking for a self-introduction from each person, Minseong kicked it off.

 

[Minseong: Hello. I’m DASE’s leader, Minseong.]

 

[Yulmu: I’m Yulmu, in charge of being the tallest in DASE.]

 

[Cheong: I’m DASE’s visual maknae, Cheong!]

 

[Yooyeon: I’m DASE’s center, Yooyeon.]

 

[Jihan: I’m DASE’s rapper, Jihan.]

 

[Baekya: I’m DASE’s voice, Baekya.]

 

The turn went around and came back to Shiyoon. He smiled, saying that since there were many members, it took quite some time even if they only said a word each.

 

The following ment was a simple guide on how to watch, saying that the viewable radio was also being held, and a sponsorship introduction. Shiyoon, who had completed his given mission, once again sincerely welcomed DASE, saying that he had really wanted to meet them.

 

[Shiyoon: Actually, I also met them for the first time today. I had only heard rumors that some amazing friends were debuting, but I never once ran into them at the company.]

 

[Minseong: That’s right. We also really wanted to meet you, sunbaenim.]

 

[Shiyoon: Thank you. Actually, when I was leaving the dorms today, our AIM members told me to be sure to tell them about my experience after meeting DASE. They might be watching the visual radio right now.]

 

Startled by Shiyoon’s words, DASE looked for the camera. Starting with Minseong, their heads bowed like a wave.

 

[Shiyoon: 5552-nim asks, are these the legendary Imjingak people I’ve only heard about? 1094-nim says DASE’s voices are so good~]

 

[Group: Thank you~]

 

[Shiyoon: The visual radio comments are going wild. Song Jihyun-nim says DASE is so handsome~ Kim Youngbo-nim says, I came to see the rookie’s spirit. Total respect!]

 

Shiyoon said that DASE’s debut stage was a hot topic on the internet right now, and asked if they knew.

 

In that moment, Jihan made eye contact with Shiyoon. He flinched and moved closer to the microphone.

 

[Jihan: Yes. Many people around us have told us. We’re very grateful.]

 

His low-pitched voice was pleasant to listen to. But the chat window was scrolling up quickly at his obviously nervous appearance. A chic appearance, but a not-so-chic attitude. Most of the reactions were that he was cute.

 

[Shiyoon: I wasn’t there in person, but I saw it. I heard the wind chill was minus 30 degrees that day. Weren’t you cold? Mr. Baekya.]

 

[Baekya: Ah, yes. We warmed up quite intensely before going in, so it wasn’t cold while we were on stage. But… to be honest, I don’t really remember what state of mind I was in.]

 

The members agreed with Baekya’s words. Shiyoon said that they must have been very nervous since it was their first debut stage, and thought they were cute.

 

Next was one of Begin Again’s segments, the <I’ll Tell You Everything> corner.

 

Shiyoon, who had received questions from the fans in advance as soon as DASE’s appearance was confirmed, said that the number of comments was so enormous that the writers had a hard time sorting through the questions.

 

[Shiyoon: We’ve sorted through the comments you left and focused on the questions that were asked a lot. First, the most frequent question was about the members’ first impressions. How was it? Your first impressions of each other.]

 

He added that it would be nice to talk about everyone, but due to time constraints, he asked them to talk about just the most memorable one.

 

[Minseong: The most memorable is probably Baekya.]

 

[Shiyoon: Mr. Baekya~ Why?]

 

[Minseong: He was the last member to join, and also, when we met in the practice room, he was eating something. With his cheeks all puffed up like this.]

 

[Cheong: That’s right! A hamster!]

 

Cheong chimed in on Minseong’s words. Shiyoon said that it seemed Mr. Cheong’s choice would also be Baekya, and naturally passed the question on, asking him to continue.

 

[Cheong: I was very sad that day, but when I went to the practice room—surprise! A hamster! I thought he was a dongsaeng because he was small, but he was a hyung, so it was a shame.]

 

[Baekya: ……]

 

[Shiyoon: Mr. Baekya, what were you eating then? To be honest, I thought eating was forbidden in our practice room.]

 

[Baekya: I-I’m sorry. I was so busy that day that I hadn’t eaten a single meal. But I happened to have a choco-pang in my pocket, so…]

 

At Baekya’s answer, the chat window began to scroll up at a frightening speed. They were comments crying out that he was cute, and that he only ate things that were just like him.

 

After reading a few comments, Shiyoon asked the remaining members

 

As a result, all the members’ picks were unanimously Baekya. Baekya chose Yooyeon and Cheong. The reason was that their hair was the flashiest.

 

[Shiyoon: Then let’s move on to the next question. A lot of you asked, I’m curious about the members’ ID joining stories! How was it?]

 

[Yulmu: My friend was going to an ID open audition and asked me to go with him, so I tagged along. The judge who was there at the time asked if I wouldn’t mind singing a song since I was there. I was very lucky.]

 

[Shiyoon: Ah~ So you’re from an open audition. The one that boasts an extremely low acceptance rate! Is there anyone else? From an open audition.]

 

[Yooyeon: Cheong and I are also from an open audition.]

 

[Cheong: That’s right. But why you? You were at ID from the beginning.]

 

At Cheong’s random remark, the chat window scrolled up quickly. It was a flood of question marks. But the atmosphere soon calmed down when Shiyoon smoothed it over.

 

– He said he lived abroad, no wonder lol

– I guess Yooyeon looked like ID’s son to Cheong!

– You can tell Yooyeon is totally ID-style from a mile away

 

Yooyeon, who had loved to dance since he was young and had asked his parents to take him to an audition.

 

Cheong’s story was similar. He, who had come to Korea alone to become a singer, was a Korean-American from California.

 

Shiyoon then asked Minseong.

 

[Shiyoon: How about you, Mr. Minseong?]

 

[Minseong: My grandmother’s house is in Gimcheon, and this place is famous for grapes.]

 

Gyeongbuk Gimcheon, where a large grape festival was held every year. He had followed his parents and relatives to the grape festival and sang a song, and a casting manager who happened to be in his hometown discovered him and gave him a business card.

 

At his first-ever revealed casting story, the members, including Shiyoon, burst out laughing.

 

[Shiyoon: Then how about you, Mr. Jihan?]

 

[Jihan: The company contacted me first after seeing a picture I took with my friend. They said if I came here, I could learn to rap for free…]

 

The chat window once again scrolled up quickly.

 

– He got scammed, huh. That innocent kid… Thank you, ID^^

– But isn’t it not a lie? They don’t take money from trainees.

– In a word, he got in with his face.

– For sure, Yooyeon and Jihan have the faces that ID is crazy about.

 

Jihan then thanked ID, saying that thanks to them contacting him first, he was able to learn the songs he liked to his heart’s content, and that he was also able to debut with the members like this.

 

In that moment, the chat window was flooded with comments like, ‘You were just used’, and ‘He’s a real angel’.

 

[Shiyoon: Then lastly, Mr. Baekya. We’re very, very curious about your casting story.]

 

[Baekya: I was eating a Pi-X-chu at a bunsik in front of my school.]

 

[Cheong: What? A Pi-X-chu? You eat that?!]

 

Cutting off Baekya’s words, Cheong shouted. For some reason, his face looked extremely shocked.

 

– Pi-X-chu is so delicious, slurp

– Wow~ I haven’t heard of Pi-X-chu in a long time lol

– The seasoned sauce is the life of a Pi-X-chu

– Why, why? Cali boy~ what’s wrong?

 

Shiyoon also asked what was wrong, his eyes slightly widened. Cheong shot back:

 

[Cheong: Why would you eat a Pi-X-chu?]

 

[Baekya: Huh? They sell a lot of them at bunsik restaurants…?]

 

[Cheong: Savage!]

 

At Cheong’s horrified look, Baekya also froze.

 

Meanwhile, the members who understood the situation burst out laughing. Everyone in the studio, staff included. was laughing except for Baekya and Cheong. Even the listeners following the broadcast were laughing too.

 

– savage: barbaric, ferocious, extremely fierce

– I don’t think your Pi-X-chu and our Pi-X-chu are the same, hubaenim?

– Ah, holy crap lol both of them are so cute lol I’m crying from laughing so hard right now ㅜㅜ

– Did our soft peach get cast while eating a Pi-X-chu? (crying)

– In the first place, isn’t that Pi-X-chu not alive..? lol
