“Okay, cut-!”

“… … !”

While we were flinching at Han Si-woo’s announcement that the next song was coming up, Director Jeong suddenly barged in and shouted “cut.”

Swish.

Even the camera directors all put down their cameras at Director Jeong’s words.

“Director Jeong…? What is this… .”

As we tilted our heads in confusion at the sudden situation, Director Jeong smiled and explained it to us.

“Yes, in fact, the purpose of this reality program is to promote Rookies’ next digital single. We’ll cut it to here and air it.”

“Promotion… .”

As expected, the reality show was a build-up to the next Rookies song.

On a scale this large, I couldn’t help but feel bewildered.

‘You’re going to all this trouble just to tease the next song?’

Are you saying that you have such high expectations knowing how successful the next song will be?

What was even more ridiculous was that Han Si-woo came all the way here just to take this shot.

“Then, is this what Producer Han Si-woo came all the way here to do? This evening?”

“… Yes, I was also quite taken aback when I first heard the request from Director Jeong. Of course, I am now a member of NAS, but this is a bit… , hehe.”

How can they treat one of the top stars in Korea like a dog? This is what a big company is like.

Han Si-woo sighed, shook his head once or twice, and said as if he had no other choice.

“Haa… , Well, whatever. It’s nice to see the faces of the Rookies after such a long time.”

“That’s right.”

“It’s nice to see you again after such a long time!”

When Han Si-woo smiled faintly, we also smiled and greeted him.

It was true that I hadn’t been able to meet him recently because I was busy.

“You will meet me often as we prepare for our activities again. Oh, instead of just standing there like this, I brought a song, so let’s listen to it together.”

Han Si-woo said that and turned on his cell phone.

By the way, the camera wasn’t rolling at the moment.

It was the first time for us to be revealed the Rookies’ next song and first digital single.

“The concept of this song is ‘deviation’ and the title is .”

Deviance and .

From the beginning, it felt different from the time of .

♪♬♬-!

Soon, a guide recording begins to flow out along with a melody.

Our reaction is….

“… !”

“Good… !”

It was very positive.

This wasn’t just a nice show of politeness, the song was actually good.

If had a dreamy and innocent feel, then this has a girl crush and hip-hop feel?

The overall powerful feeling is piercing to the ears, and it’s so addictive that you’ll be humming along after hearing it just once.

There is just one thing I am concerned about… .

‘This is a very YW-like song… .’

was said to be a song that smelled a lot like YW.

Of course, Han Si-woo has been in YW for over ten years, and most of the current YW image was created by Han Si-woo… But aren’t our Rookies YW?

If we were not careful, there was a risk that Rookies would be accused of being a copycat of Python.

“… … .”

Perhaps conscious of this, except for the excited younger siblings, Yoo Seol and Lee Hye-jeong’s expressions were a little dark.

And Han Si-woo must have felt this too, because he took off his smile and spoke in a serious tone.

“Actually, the success of this song depends on your abilities. Especially Yerin and Hanna?”

“Yes.”

“Yep.”

“The biggest attraction of this song will be the high-difficulty dance break in the middle. This time, the roles of the two people are very important.”

It was clear that the importance of dancers would increase on stage for this kind of hip-hop dance song.

At this, Na Hanna and I nodded at the same time.

“Just leave it to me.”

After seeing the sight with satisfaction, Han Si-woo looked around at the Rookies as a whole and said.

“I just said that the success of this song depends on the members’ abilities… , but I actually think that our Rookies have enough ability to do it.”

“… … .”

“So let’s work hard this time too so we can repay the fans who support us.”

“Yes-!”

“I’ll work hard!”

As Han Si-woo cheered us up, Director Jeong stepped forward last.

“Yes, Rookies. We’ll sleep here today and go straight to Seoul tomorrow morning. Thank you for your hard work filming so far!”

“Waaa-!”

That was when filming ended and the situation was finalized.

“I… , but Director Jeong?”

“Yes?”

Na Hanna grabbed Director Jeong, who was about to go out, and said.

“So when do we start preparing the next song? Next week? Or maybe next month?”

The members perked up their ears when asked when they would start practicing the next song.

“Hey, Hannah. Why are you asking such a thing~”

Director Jeong laughed briefly at that question… .

“Tomorrow.”

“… … Yes?”

“Starting tomorrow.”

… he answered with a serious expression.

‘also….’

I knew this would happen.

There’s no way this fucking corporation is going to let us rest.

However, Na Hanna asked Director Jeong again with a pale face, as if she couldn’t believe the current situation.

“Oh, what about vacation? You’re not calling this shoot a vacation, are you?”

“Hannah Yang. There is a saying in the world:”

of course….

“Sleep is sleeping while dead.”

“… … .”

“Let’s really work hard until we die. I will always be with you, members.”

Director Jeong, who is an extreme workaholic, lightly hit Na Hanna.

“Another job… . This is ridiculous… .”

So Na Hanna collapsed at the reality that she had to start working again right after finishing her first activity… .

We are patting ourselves on the back like that… .

Our preparations for Rookies’ next activity began right away.

**

After the Rookies’ debut activities ended.

-Ah, I already want to see the kids again….

-I watch the music video 30 times a day, seriously.

-What are we going to do about the loss of the rookies?

Rookies’ fans felt the loss of the Rookies immediately.

They tried to reduce the loss of rookies by looking for the rookies’ first music show stages, fancam videos of each member, and even videos from the NaA days.

Then, news came that Rookies would be appearing on Nnet’s pilot program … and Rookies fans happily flocked there… but…

[Ha Ye-rin (Blue Team): Ugh…]

[Team Blue’s contestant Ha Ye-rin ends up falling…]

[Ha Ye-rin (Blue Team): … Yes, I’m fine… , Ugh… .]

-No, Yerin ㅠㅠ

-Your calf is bleeding…? It doesn’t look okay…?

[An unexpected situation occurs during the palm push!]

[slap.]

[Yoo Seol (White Team): Whoa!]

[Participant Yoo Seol gets hit in the cheek by the palm of Team Blue’s Shin Si-woo!]

Public opinion exploded when the Rookies members were seen getting injured on the show.

-Why the hell are you making our kids suffer by putting them on this trash program?

-It breaks my heart to see kids getting hurt.

-Kids who are already having a hard time.

There was also criticism directed at Shin Si-woo, the one who hurt Ha Ye-rin and Yoo Seol.

-What’s that kid doing that’s hurting our kids?

-You crazy bastard, you didn’t do that on purpose, did you?

-I’m really angry

Of course, Black Bomb, which Shin Si-woo is a part of, also had a large fan base, so Shin Si-woo fans did not just sit by and watch the criticism from the Rookies fans.

-What are you talking about? They just fell over and hit me with their faces.

-ㅠㅠ You’re doing that to our poor Siwoo for no reason

-My brother, who got involved with those guys, ended up becoming a victim.

So there was a huge fight between the Rookies fandom and the Black Bomb fandom.

-Oh really, you don’t do NAS work? We just want to see our kids.

– In 10 months, I won’t be able to see my kids anymore ㅠㅠ I want to see them as much as I want before then

At that time, when the dissatisfaction of Rookies fans was gradually building up, a video was uploaded to the Rookies’ official account.

[Hardworking Rookies! Let’s Go to the Countryside! – ep1]

It was a reality entertainment program exclusive to Rookies.

The Rookies fandom, which had been united by the fight with the Black Bomb fandom, forgot about their anger and flocked to the video.

[Seo Yu-jin: This is where we sleep…?]

[Director Jeong: Yes, we will be self-sufficient here for two nights and three days.]

-Ah lol Eugene’s expression lol

-It feels like a rich girl is surprised to see a goshiwon room ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ Fact: In reality, Seo Yu-jin is a rich girl. Yu-jin’s father is the president of a famous company.

└Oh really? She really was a rich girl lol

-Eugene’s surprised expression is so funny lol

People laughed and enjoyed watching the video of the Rookies’ self-sufficient rural life.

Of course, the highlight of episode 1 was this part.

[Woodadadada-]

[Ha Ye-rin (Seoul native) literally running through a sweet potato field]

[Park Yu-jeong: Wow-!!! Sister, daebak-!!! Here!! Here too!!]

[Yoo Seol: Quickly put the sweet potatoes that Yerin sold in the box!!]

[Ha Ye-rin is happy without even knowing that there is dirt on her face]

[Ha Ye-rin: Hehe, where should I sell it again?]

-Haha …

-Why are you so good at digging sweet potatoes? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Are you really a native of Seoul? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Judging from your current appearance, you look like you’ve never even been to Seoul ㅋㅋㅋ

-Evolved from a rookie leader to a rural girl!

-Why are you so cute with your face covered in mud? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

People went crazy over Ha Ye-rin, who usually had the image of a cold city girl, showing off her surprising charm by being incredibly active in digging sweet potatoes.

But Hayerin’s potential didn’t end there… .

[Next episode preview]

[Director Jeong: The last segment of today is courage training.]

[Director Jeong: You will be divided into groups of two and visit three abandoned houses. It will be a great memory that you will never forget, haha.]

[Ha Ye-rin’s face froze at the words ‘courage training.’]

-Ah, why is it over already?

-You upload every Monday… How can I endure it for a week… .

-Look at Yerin’s scared expression ㅋㅋㅋ She’s cute ㅋㅋㅋ

└Hey, is that a scared expression? It’s just a blank expression like usual.

└Is that so?

└ㅇㅇ I don’t think Ha Ye-rin would be afraid of any of these things?

Ha Ye-rin’s true worth was fully demonstrated in the next episode.
