A common patriotic coin.

AWY, breaks through 1.22 million copies in the first week sets a new personal record

AWY, sells 1.22 million copies in the first week ranks first in the first week sales of the year unprecedented

-AWY is amazing, they are unprecedented

-Look at the ranking of the first week sales, so cool

-But whats the benefit of selling a lot in the first week?

Just trying to get so buzz?

They have to be number one on the music charts

And AWY also sells well in the distribution

***

The mbers of AWY did not watch Rural Life together as it aired.

They had music shows, video fan signs, and face-to-face fan signs, which coincided with the event season and they had to travel to other regions.

Their album sales were still breaking their own records, and they were enjoying the top popularity, so they had to work hard on the event stages.

Wow, this is really hard.

Good job, guys.

Is anyone not tired?

AWY, who had finished the fan sign and event in Busan, dragged their heavy bodies into the van. They had no ti to rest for a few months and they were overwheld by the work.

Good job, guys.

The new manager, Lim Jin-woo, took the wheel. Ian was the last one to enter the van and closed the door.

Where did you go?

I went to the convenience store with the security guard.

Ian showed the black plastic bag he was holding to the mbers. The mbers made strange noises and reached out their hands to the bag in Ians hand.

What did you buy?

You didnt buy any disgusting drinks, did you?

No, I didnt, Jin-woo hyung! Drink this.

Ian rummaged through the bag and handed a vitamin drink to Lim Jin-woo. It was not only the singers who were tired, but also the managers and staff. Ian had already given drinks to the security guards and staff, and the last one was Lim Jin-woo, who would drive a long distance.

The kid has a good sense. Lim Jin-woo smiled and looked back at the mbers before leaving.

Thank you. You guys know that we have to watch the show tomorrow even if we dont have a pre-recording, right? Get so sleep, even if its just for a while.

Yes.

They had so ti to spare because they had already recorded the pre-recording for the music show that they would appear on tomorrow.

The mbers took the plastic bag that Ian casually threw and drank the drinks that Ian bought.

Its past 12 oclock. We missed Rural Life.

Ah, crap Today was important.

Lets watch it later when we have ti.

The van started to head to Seoul, and the mbers spent the next day in the van.

They could have watched the clip videos that were uploaded on the portal site right away if they wanted to see the show, but they were too exhausted to even look at their phones.

Park Seo-dam and Kim Joo-young had already fallen asleep as soon as they sat in the van.

What are we going to do about Caden Hurt Show?

Ian, who was staring blankly out the window and blinking his eyes tiredly, lifted his head and looked at Lee Joo-hyuk.

I know, right. We dont have ti to modify the choreography

AWY was scheduled to appear on Caden Hurt Show, but the stage was planned to be pre-recorded, and the talk was to be done in real-ti phone call format according to the broadcast ti.

The producing of the group was also handed over to Lee Joo-hyuk and Park Jin-hyuk, and now they had so say in the stage composition.

It was a stage that would be introduced on an Arican broadcast, so they had been discussing whether to do a special choreography or remix the song, and they had been thinking hard about the direction of the stage.

Didnt the stylist say she would make hanbok?

Park Jin-hyuk said. Ian frowned slightly.

But didnt we wear hanbok too much? I think people will think, Oh, the Korean kids ca wearing hanbok again.

MIDEA was the first to perform a stage with hanbok and palace as the background, and then other Korean idol groups started to mix Koreanthings into their stages when they appeared on overseas dia.

The most common thing was to wear hanbok on the stage or in the music video, as if it was a custom.

[Its a common patriotic coin. Im sick of it.]

Jin said indifferently.

Patriotism is not a bad thing

It should be avoided if its excessive, but pride in ones country is not a bad thing. Besides, there was nothing as buzzworthy as patriotism both dostically and internationally. From the perspective of foreigners, it would be new and cool to see sothing traditional.

And from the perspective of the sa Koreans, they would think that those kids ca to promote our country with our things, and they would especially get the attention of the middle-aged and older generations.

But.

Hanbok? Palace? Dont people who know them already know them?

Since MIDEA, the global interest in K-pop has increased, and more than ten Korean idols have appeared on overseas dia.

He didnt like the idea of AWY following the sa trend as the others who showed similar things.

People want sothing new

Lee Joo-hyuk voiced Ians thoughts.

It might look a bit stale.

Of course, it would be a lot of buzz in Korea, but surprisingly, Korean culture was well-known overseas through K-pop.

Rather than being a typical Korean idol, I want to make a na for ourselves as a group

What Ian wanted was sothing else that was new and would make people curious enough to search for AWY after seeing their stage.

Jin-woo hyung, is our Caden Hurt Show stage an outdoor stage?

Uh, they said theyre talking to the Seoul City

Do you know where the candidates are?

Lim Jin-woo tapped the steering wheel with his index finger and recited the places that were candidates.

Uh City Hall Plaza, Gwanghwamun Plaza, Sebit Island, Changdeokgung Palace

Ian raised one eyebrow at one of the sections.

To do sothing familiar, or to take a risk

***

-AWY, what schedule do you have?

I saw AWY in front of the Independence Gate on the bus going ho

?

-I brought the proof as you asked

to

Is this really AWY?

The AWY mbers in the photo were wearing outfits that did not match the weather that was still hot. Long coats, ties, vests and pants, and even berets that were commonly called bread hats.

The background behind them made the outfits look special.

The outdoor stage that AWY would show on Caden Hurt Show was right in front of the Independence Gate.

-What schedule do they have?

It doesnt show up on the official schedule, so I wonder what theyre doing

Maybe its related to the Liberation Day thats coming soon?

Hey, delete your comnt, its forbidden to consu their private schedule

Anyway, we have another spoiler?

Im in Gwanghwamun right now, can I see them if I take a taxi?

The fandom atmosphere was avoiding the airport work sightings, but there were so many fans that it was not all followed.

-Im nearby, Im going to the Independence Gate by taxi

Now Im not a bad fan anymore

Are you crazy? Youre doing fan behavior openly

(This comnt has been deleted.)

As the sightings of AWY at the Independence Gate spread through SNS, the quick fans were already heading to where AWY was.

Damn, its already on SNS Fans will flock, so lets finish the recording quickly and go.

Park Dong-soo was talking to the Seoul City official who ca to watch the scene. He had a dark tan from his honeymoon with Seo Su-ryeon.

Guys! Are you ready?

Just a mont!

Ian whined as he put on leather gloves. He took the mic that Kim Myung-jin handed him and stood in front of the cara. Fortunately, the sound equipnt was already set up before AWY ca.

Were starting the recording!

The mbers found their positions and looked nervous as they fiddled with their mics. The light ca on the cara, and the AR of their coback song Blue hour started.

Independence Gate, nice. It has symbolism. And its similar to the Arc de Triomphe, so it will arouse curiosity.

Im reminded of when they were on With the Legend by looking at their outfits.

You watched that too?

Of course, Teacher Kim Hee-sang was on it.

The manager, Park Dong-soo and Kim Myung-jin watched the stage with their arms crossed and whispered.

The concept of the independence fighters that Ian suggested and proceeded with was the second ti since the March 1st Movent stage with Kim Hee-sang.

The only difference was that the stage with Kim Hee-sang was a dostic program, and now it was a more global stage on an Arican talk show.

Ah, that was good.

The kids were much more skilled than then. Park Dong-soo, who was reminiscing about With the Legend, heard Kim Myung-jins worried voice in his ear.

But this stage, it will cause so trouble in the neighboring country, right?

Park Dong-soo swallowed his breath and frowned slightly. Whats wrong with showing the historical facts as they are?

Well, those right-wingers over there will make a fuss.

Im surprised that the CEO agreed. The CEO likes things without controversy.

It was better to have no controversy at all, but he could already see the controversy brewing.

There were cases where they made a na for themselves through controversy, but the CEO, Lee Byung-hun, preferred stability.

He looked like he had a lot on his mind.

What, did he watch Rural Life?

Awy finished their first stage, wiped their sweat, fixed their hair and makeup, and went straight to the cara for the second stage.

People started to gather around. More security guards than usual were busy keeping the people who were taking pictures with their caras away.

I didnt expect him to have such thoughts, even with this level of popularity.

I thought that having the popularity and career of Awys level would make everything happy. He had a lot of fans, money in his bank account, and the best career since his debut.

Theyre all talented

From Kim Myung-jins perspective, he thought that none of the seven mbers on stage right now were lacking.

Park Dong-soo also understood Kim Myung-jins feelings. But people are not all the sa, are they?

It depends on the persons personality. Ju-young is very sensitive, too.

People who seem to live well in the eyes of others may have different problems.

Besides, its annoying to have soone whos better than

among my sa-age friends.

I know, I had that experience in my school days, too.

Really?

And the person he was comparing himself to was Choi Ian. He couldnt even guess how much he was thinking.

Park Dong-soo looked up at the sky.

The weather is nice, so the stage will look good, too.

Yeah.

As the sun set, the highlight section of the song ca and the street lights turned on.

Wow.

Anyway, performing in front of the Independence Gate wouldnt have much impact on the Japanese side.

Rather, peoples interest in why they did this stage would increase, not decrease.

Dont worry about the neighboring country. People who are going to co to the tour wont stop coming because of this stage. They have a lot of fans there, too.

The second stage was over before they knew it. The mbers who monitored the stage bowed their waists at the directors OK sign.

Good job!

Thank you for your hard work!

It was almost a reflex.

As the mbers approached the manager, the fans who were gathered around scread.

Kyaaa!

Guys!

As the security guards moved busily to block the fans, Kim Myungjin opened the door of the van and put the mbers in the car.

Lets get out of here before the complaints co in. Change your clothes at the hotel.

Yes. We dont have any schedule after this, right?

No.

Ians eyes sparkled. He finally had ti to watch Rural Life, which he hadnt seen for a while.
