Chapter 148
It will always describe .
“What? Do you want
to choose between the two?”
“Just answer freely, hyung. Don’t mind us.”
Park Seodam said that, but he couldn’t hide his anticipation. The other mbers looked the sa, so Ian laughed bitterly.
“Well… I started as a drama extra, so I guess you could say I entered the entertainnt industry as an actor first, right?”
“So, you choose actor Choi Ian?”
“Tsk, aren’t you too hasty? Just listen.”
Jo Taewoong poked Kim Juyeong’s side.
“But that was also because I wanted to debut with Awi, and the debut team was already set up. If you ask
to choose, of course I’ll choose our group.”
“Really?”
“But that’s not all, is it?”
The mbers who expected sothing more touching and grandiose from Ian quickly showed disappointed expressions. Ian ignored their faces and turned his head to look at Min Changjo.
“But I think the question is aningless in the first place. Do we have to separate actors and idols? We’re all entertainers anyway.”
“That’s true.”
Min Changjo nodded.
“But what I can tell you is that whenever I introduce myself anywhere, I always say ‘I’m Ian from the idol group Awi.’ Because I’m in the group Awi, I can do both acting and idoling.”
“Wow.”
“Anyway, when I do entertainer activities, our group na Awi will always describe . Are you all satisfied?”
“Wow, your answer sounds like a poem. Good job.”
As Ian looked around at the mbers, they gave him thumbs up. Ian frowned fiercely.
“So don’t cause any trouble, all of you.”
“Of course not.”
“And you too, Mr. Changjo.”
Min Changjo, who was suddenly pointed out, widened his eyes and pointed at himself.
“? All of a sudden?”
“Yes. Idols should not cause trouble. That’s a virtue. You know that, right?”
Ian’s serious words elicited imdiate reactions from Min Changjo’s fans.
-???????? (I agree)
-You only say the right things
-Changjo oppa, take note!
-No dating!??????
The mbers smiled brightly as they saw those reactions. Ian quickly relaxed his face and raised his fist to pretend to hold a virtual microphone. Ian’s virtual microphone went to Jo Taewoong.
“Now, a question for Taewoongie, what are idol group Awi and actor Jo Taewoong?”
“Wow, how can you do this?”
Jo Taewoong was flustered as the mbers’ heads focused on him.
“Ian said sothing so touching and it’s hard to follow up.”
“Co to think of it, you’re the senior here since you debuted as a child actor.”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m an old-tir. Call
senior.”
Jo Taewoong joked and then pondered seriously. The mbers seed curious and the fans were watching too, so he didn’t want to answer casually.
“First of all, I beca a child actor because my mom’s friend worked in broadcasting.”
“Yeah, and then?”
“They ca to shoot and the child actor didn’t show up. They asked for help and called my mom who was nearby.”
“Oh, so you went straight to shooting without any audition?”
“Yes, but it was so fun then. It felt like role-playing… You know what I an?”
Jo Taewoong looked at Ian. Ian nodded slowly. He also felt like experiencing soone else’s life while forgetting reality when he first acted.
“The shooting went well and thankfully I got many offers from different places.”
“Are you saying you’re a genius in a roundabout way?”
Park Seodam narrowed his eyes and looked at Jo Taewoong. The mbers chuckled quietly. Jo Taewoong continued without caring.
“My mom also thought acting was fun for … She beca my manager and showed my face everywhere there was casting.”
He enjoyed acting until then. The cool and pretty celebrities he often saw on TV liked him too, and he always ate delicious food with his family after shooting.
But he started to skip school classes more and more because of his schedule and his close friends started to treat him not as a friend but as a celebrity, soone hard to approach, and built a wall.
“If I have to choose between being an actor or an idol, I’ll choose the group. Because I started as a child actor but now I’m not a ‘child’ actor anymore, right?”
He started to feel acting was not fun but burdenso when he beca a middle schooler. His talent was outstanding as a ‘child’, but he didn’t think he would have the sa luck as an adult actor.
And there were people among his peers who chose and worked hard for this path, not like Jo Taewoong who jumped in for fun.
[Wow, he was an old soul?]
‘He was so thoughtful since he was young, no wonder his ntal is weak.’
Being thoughtful and sensitive was an advantage. But it could also be a disadvantage if it was excessive.
“I enjoyed being a child actor, but it wasn’t sothing I chose to do for the rest of my life.”
“I can understand that. Your mother probably didn’t take you seriously, but just wanted you to have so experience when you were young.”
Ian silently admired Park Seodam’s words. She avoided any possible controversy with her prudent attitude.
“I had a dream of becoming like Taewoo hyung, or Diamond, the group that perford at the event. Being an idol was almost a ‘choice’ for .”
The mbers were imrsed in Jo Taewoong’s sincere words and stared at his face intently.
“I can’t deny my child actor days, but Awi ans a lot to . I want to be called by the group ‘Awi’ instead of ‘child actor’ when the dia describes .”
“Wow!”
“Jo Taewoong! Jo Taewoong!”
“Awi Eul! Jo Taewoong candidate! You’re elected!”
The mbers clapped their hands at the sa ti. Even Park Seodam, the DJ, threw off her headphones and massaged Jo Taewoong’s shoulders from behind.
“Yes, yes, please sit down. Seodam? Seodam?”
“Yes!”
Park Seodam quickly returned to her seat. Min Changjo couldn’t say anything to her. He also made a ss when Aiwons was a guest and gave Park Seodam a hard ti.
Park Seodam and Min Changjo glanced at the director’s signal outside the booth.
“Wow, this is crazy. Anyway! You all have such rich emotions. No wonder you created so many great songs. Now! You have to sing a song!”
“Yes, the song we’re going to sing is… ‘We are We are’.”
The mbers got up from their seats. They went to the live space that was prepared separately and picked up the microphones.
They then briefly answered the questions in the chat room and sang two songs in a row.
The ti was already 40 minutes past the scheduled end of the broadcast.
-Aren’t you tired????? I want to go to sleep????
-Sing more songs please!
-It’s good now!! Please do it until dawn!
“Thanks to your efforts, our radio show has gone way over the scheduled ti.”
“Really? What should we do? We took too much ti… Changjo and the production staff have to go ho…”
Lee Joo-hyuk looked regretful.
“It’s too late to say that now. Let’s wrap up with so comnts.”
Min Changjo answered with a tired face. The mbers gave brief comnts one after another, considering Min Changjo.
“It was fun to talk seriously and chat for a long ti.”
“Yeah. We saw our maknae working too…”
“I hope you invite us again next ti.”
“ too.”
“How about doing a joint show with Aiwons next ti?”
A joint show with our group? What a horrible idea. Min Changjo forgot his expression managent and frowned. Ian quickly fixed the situation.
“That might be too hard for our DJs, don’t you think?”
“Is that so?”
Min Changjo sighed in relief. As they all said sothing, Park Seodam clapped her hands. The PD’s eyes were on them.
“Well, this is where ‘Visible Idol Radio, Boara!’ ends.”
“See you next week, everyone! Bye!”
Min Changjo and Awi waved their hands at the cara.
-Today was the longest ever
-So fun??????Awi co back again
-Changjo, good job!
-It was so fun??????
The cara light went off and the mbers got up and patted Min Changjo’s shoulder.
“Did we end too late because of us?”
“No, I had fun too. You guys must be tired… I’m fine because I’m not active.”
Min Changjo smiled soullessly, thinking ‘It’s because I’m drained…’
“Everyone, we’re going to take pictures for SNS, so strike a pose.”
The staff ca into the booth and held up their phones. Min Changjo and Awi stood side by side on the wall and posed confidently.
“One, two.”
They took pictures one after another. Awi crowded around the staff and checked the pictures with a smile.
Among Awi who made all kinds of noisy poses, Min Changjo smiled faintly. His face looked worse than the picture he took before the broadcast.
The mbers who ca out of the booth bowed their waists and greeted the production staff.
“Thank you!”
“Good job!”
The staff also looked tired. It was lucky that they had bribed them with juice beforehand. It was Lee Joo-hyuk’s unintentional big picture.
The Awi mbers stretched out as they left the studio. Unlike Min Changjo who was drained, they all looked satisfied.
“Wow! That was fun.”
“I hope we can do it again next ti.”
“But won’t they stop inviting us next ti? They made us work late.”
“Maybe. Then we can just do our own radio show on Y app.”
“Then our fans might beg us to stop?”
The mbers laughed as they looked at each other.

The mbers headed straight to their rooms as soon as they arrived at the dorm. Jo Tae-woong, who lay down on his bed after washing up, stared blankly at the dark ceiling.
‘What is fanfic?’
Suddenly curious, Jo Tae-woong sat up abruptly. He flipped over his blanket and turned on his phone.
‘What should I search for…’
He had been only looking at the fan cafe and the separate board for Awi, a community that only fans could enter, for his ntal health. He doubted he would find what he wanted there. Jo Tae-woong entered a foreign search engine that claid to show everything.
“What is this?”
Finally, he found what he was looking for. He saw stories that paired him with other mbers in romantic scenarios. He clenched his fingers in disgust. He wanted to throw his phone away right then, but his curiosity was the problem.
(Guguz Parrot Backup)
(…falling in love at first sight with transfer student Tae-woong)
‘Ugh! Crazy!’
Jo Tae-woong scread silently and quickly pressed the back button. But in the anti, he accidentally clicked on sothing different from what he searched for.
“…Huh?”
-Jo Tae-woong’s attitude shows how well he was educated at ho
-I went to the sa middle school as him and he was famous lol
-You can tell what his parents taught him, right?
-His parents exploited him to make a quick buck by making him a child actor, so no wonder his education was poor lol
Jo Tae-woong’s eyes lost focus in an instant. He sighed deeply as he scrolled down mindlessly.
‘…I should just sleep.’
He flopped back down and tossed and turned for a long ti, feeling his heart pounding fast and hard.
