Episode 112 – Fan signing event? (2)
The staff of Sweeties' agency were busy completing the final inspection.
The members, including Yoon Nara, checked the locations of the cameras placed everywhere and cleared their throats.
Soon, the red light from the camera came on, signaling the start of the broadcast.
Leader Yoon Na-ra opened her mouth.
“One, two, three!”
The members raised their voices as one in response to her call.
“Sweeten your day! Hello, I’m Sweeties!”
The chat window shook as the members waved their hands with bright smiles.
-Nunaaaaaaaaaa!
-Today is so sweet too ㅋㅋㅋ
-So cute♡
-Be refreshing from the start
-You are all my goddess 😀
-What is this unprecedented beauty update ㅠㅠㅠ
-Sister! I really enjoyed the concert!
-Please let me get picked… … !
Sweeties' fans included both men and women, and some of them were foreigners.
All the members showed genuine smiles as the chat poured in. Yoon Na-ra skillfully grabbed the mic and continued the show.
“Thank you so much for coming to our Bricks! You all know why we’re on air today, right?”
Brix was the name of the fan club of Sweeties. Since they were fans of Sweeties, they named it after the unit that measures 'sugar content'.
-RGRG
-I really want to go to a fan signing this time!
-The new album is so good that the competition must have been explosive ㅠㅠ
-How much will the fan sign cuts be…?
“Yes, today is the broadcast where we are holding a raffle for our Sweeties fan signing event! This time too, so many people applied.”
“Honestly, we were really surprised when we heard that.”
“That’s right, there are a lot more than the last autograph session.”
“Ah, I’m really so happy. Is it okay to be this happy?”
The other members nodded and helped them along. As they expressed their gratitude, countless hearts appeared in the chat window.
Yoon Na-ra, who was looking at the other members, looked at the camera again.
“Now, since there may be some people who are applying for the first time, I will briefly explain the lottery process.”
She held up the prepared entry ticket.
“This entry ticket that is included in our album! If you look here, there is a code that represents a unique number. We have connected the entry tickets that our agency staff sent us into the computer system.”
“Of course, we helped out from the side.”
“With the determination not to miss a single one!”
“But the thing that’s harder for the manager is the trap.”
The other members filled in the comments and led the mood smoothly. Thanks to them, the chat window was also filled with laughter.
“A total of 100 winners will be selected from the entries you sent! Each of our members will personally select 25 winners.”
“I really want to invite them all, but… … ”
“Should I tell the CEO directly?”
“Oh, sir! This is something Sehee said alone. We have nothing to do with it.”
-Oh lol, cut it off right away lol
-The cruel world of idols… …!
– Hahaha this is so funny hahaha
-You're so cute when you're flustered lol
Yoon Nara also laughed and continued on.
“Before the actual drawing, let’s take a quick look at the hearts and efforts of our Bricks members. Wow, this time too, they’re really amazing.”
“Why? Is this a new record?”
When Yoon Nara opened her eyes wide after seeing the records written on the cue sheet, the other members also showed interest.
The same goes for the chat window.
She paused for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“The most applicant this time sent in a whopping 573 entries!”
“Chapter 573?”
“Huh? Really?”
"and……"
Unlike the surprised members, the reaction in the chat window was different.
-573 albums?
-It'll probably be around 8 million won.
-Honestly, if I had money, I would have bought it like that too lol
-That's why I have to earn money.
-Until I make money, all I can do is stream infinitely ㅠ
Since they were fans, everyone responded that they understood. In fact, there were even chats where people said they were sorry for not being able to give it to them.
“No, no. We would really appreciate it if you could just buy one.”
“Because everyone who listens to our music is precious!”
“Those who listen to us through streaming are also a great help to us!”

The other members each expressed their gratitude. Yoon Nara did the same, but added a word.
“I’m grateful, but I’m also a little worried. Lately, there have been people who buy albums and donate the rest. Actually, it doesn’t look so good.”
It could have been a sensitive topic for an idol, but she was straightforward.
“There may be some who like it among those who received the donation, but there may also be some who feel like they were forced to do it. I think this is actually insulting to the fans. I hope there is no one like that among our Bricks.”
-I totally agree lol
-As expected, a leader has to be solid.
-Ah haha this is the country
-If you look at other fandoms, you'll see a lot of cases where they get cursed at for that.
-Honestly, there aren't many places that broadcast fan signing raffles.
-Even if suspicions of fabrication arise, most people just bury it ㅠㅠ
-It's good that our Sweeties are confident
Yoon Na-ra smiled again at the sympathy of the fans and continued the show.
“Okay, next is… … ”
In addition, there were several records, such as the person who made a purchase at 49 stores nationwide, the oldest person was a 62-year-old woman, and the youngest person was an 8-year-old boy. After the atmosphere warmed up before the drawing,
“Now it’s time for the long-awaited raffle! We will each conduct the raffle separately. You can select the member camera by looking at the app menu!”
“Please come and see us often!”
“I’ll try to choose properly!”
“Oh, I’m getting more nervous!”
With the explanation, the members dispersed to their respective locations in the studio.
-You're not just picking it out?
-No lol
-Completely different from other idols ㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah haha who do you think it is?
-Simple things are good for chatting
-I'm going to the invincible country!
-When it comes to visual pleasure, Nara's older sister is the best
Unlike other idols' raffles, Sweeties also used the raffle broadcast as content.
The studio had a place set up where you could simply press a button to get a number, a place to select numbers and operation symbols, and a place set up for a giant ladder climbing game.
However, the lottery method chosen by Yoon Nara was quite different from that of the other members.
-Oh! This time it's shooting.
-As expected, it's a sports idol class ㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this the way the numbers are revealed when you guess correctly?
-Sister ㅠㅠ Why are you so cool ㅠㅠㅠ
-Your posture is really crazy
Yoon Na-ra grabbed the toy rifle. She quickly loaded it after checking the magazine containing BB bullets.
“Okay, let’s start the drawing! The winners will be contacted right away once the application numbers are revealed!”
She smiled refreshingly and took up the rifle. Just that posture alone caused the chat window to overflow with hearts.
-Please! Please! Please! Please!
-I'll trust you, country!
-Sister! I bought you a lot of presents ㅠㅠ
-Today is the day of religious unity!
-The gods compete with each other because they have many similar wishes
-The victorious God, our God!
-What kind of sports day is this? Lol
She turned her gaze away from the chat window that was quickly popping up. The targets arranged at each street began to move.
Yoon Na-ra took a deep breath.
“Let’s start with something close by.”
For an ordinary person, it would have been a question of whether she would hit the mark, but she was different. Thanks to the athleticism she had already shown on several broadcasts, no one doubted her success.
As Yun Na-ra finished aiming and pulled the trigger, the bullet flew out and hit the target accurately.
“Ah! Congratulations on winning number 117963!”
-Ah ㅠㅠ I'm 116963!
-I'm really jealous
-There are still 24 left!
-Are there any winners?
-Wow! Hehehehehehehe I won! ㅠㅠㅠ
-Congratulations!
-Wow! Congratulations!
-Thank youㅠㅠ This isn't a dream, right? Reallyㅠㅠ
Fan accounts are linked to the entry number, and a 'V' icon is placed next to the winner.
After that, Yun Nara's lottery continued. Every time the target fell, the winners came out and expressed their gratitude in the chat window.
-Wow… … This fan sign cut is a lot taller
-Someone bought 573 sheets, lol
-Our Sweeties definitely became popular ㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah… … I thought it would be okay this time, but I’m anxious ㅠㅠ
As the number of remaining winners decreased, the atmosphere in the chat window gradually darkened.
Yoon Na-ra was able to find out about this because she checked the chat window from time to time.
“Don’t give up! Whether you buy one or several, don’t forget that they are precious to us!”
-Our eyes are so pretty that we can even say nice things ㅋㅋㅋ
-It's okay, sis. I'll definitely earn more next time!
-No matter what, you can't ignore capital power.
-Probably there's nothing we can do about it lol
Fans were delighted by her support, but also accepted the reality.
Yoon Na Ra was upset, but she couldn't show it on the outside. It was a desirable attitude for an idol to remain neutral among fans.
She pulled the trigger again.
Although the target was quite far away, her aim did not miss.
“It’s number 127013! Congratulations!”
The winning number has come out again.
Even the chat window seemed to have given up and dry congratulations came up.
That was until the winner's chat came up.
-oh?
-This is a winner haha
'what?'
Yoon Na-ra was shocked when she read the chat. Didn't the other fans not hide their excitement as soon as they won?
This is the first time I've received such a dry response while working as an idol.
But that doubt was short-lived.
-But really, everything from his posture to his shooting skills is really good.
-I think you'd be good at games too
Yoon Na-ra flinched at the following chat from the winner, but fortunately, no one noticed.
-Nunaga definitely has exceptional athletic ability lol
-You flew around Aceh University too haha
-He's not a gym nerd for nothing
-Honestly, I think I'd win even if I fought Namdol.
-What can't you do? ㅠㅠ
Everyone seemed to agree with the chat.
'I was wondering why we were suddenly talking about games, but I guess I'm just too sensitive.'
Yoon Nara also accepted it as a compliment and became more motivated.
“Okay! It ain’t over till it’s over! Let’s go one more time!”
As she raised her voice, the atmosphere in the chat room became more lively. Yoon Na-ra hit the target again.
After several more winners were announced.
“Number 135779! Congratulations!”
The winner appeared in the chat window along with her bright voice.
-Wow! I won again!
For a moment, Yoon Na-ra was speechless. It seemed that the feelings of other fans were not much different.
-Huh? A duplicate win?
-Did you save the country in your past life?
-You saved my country?
-No lol that's not that country
-Surprisingly, that country might be right lol
-If you only win consecutively in the Nara lottery, that might be possible.
-Or is it the person who bought 573 sheets?
-Big hands are a given!
The chat window was filled with envy. Yoon Na-ra quickly came to her senses and opened her mouth.
“Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen multiple winners! In this case, Mr. Lee Kyung-bok can bring one more person. It would be perfect if you could introduce our Sweeties to people around you this time!”
Her comment caused the winner to hit the chat again.
-I guess I'll have to look it up sometime.
-Because opportunities like this don't come often
Other fans again agreed.
-I can't stand sales!
-If you really focus on Sweeties and sell, they'll all fall for it, right?
-Do you have any intention of getting to know me from today?
-Instant acquaintance request lol
-Ahㅠㅠ I'm so jealous
Yoon Nara's attention was soon diverted elsewhere.
Off camera, the staff informed us of the draw results. It was not necessary to completely match the draw results, but it was better to finish them similarly.
'The other side is almost finished. We need to speed things up a bit.'
As Yoon Nara started shooting again, the fans' attention turned to her.
And after a while.
“Whew, now there’s only one person left.”
The 25th draw of Yun Nara, only one winner remains.
'You said you were in a hurry, but it's the last one.'
The draw for the remaining members has already been completed. Thanks to this, most of the viewers have flocked to her camera.
Chats wishing for a lucky draw were popping up at an incredible rate.
Yoon Nara took a deep breath.
'Which one should I do… … '
Her eyes scanned the targets, and soon they stopped at the one farthest away.
'Since it's the last one, let's challenge the most difficult one.'
She adjusted her posture.
Up until now, the targets were relatively close, so that was sufficient, but this time there had to be no confusion.
She held her body firmly in place, took aim at the target, and held her breath. Only her finger on the trigger moved slowly, as if she would not allow even the slightest trembling.
A series of explosions that flow like water.
It was a hit.
She took in the numbers that appeared along with the falling target.
“Number 114968! Congratulations on winning the last prize!”
“Wow! Congratulations!”
“Congratulations!”
“Thank you so much for applying!”
Since it was the last one, the other members also clapped and congratulated him.
-Ah ㅠㅠ It didn't work out in the end
-I'm so jealous of the 100th one
-Congratulations!
-Please enjoy it on my behalf ㅠㅠ
Other fans were also disappointed, but congratulated him.
however.
-You shot it really cleanly haha
-With this level of skill, I think most streamers would be able to pull it off?
The atmosphere changed in an instant during the winner's chat.
-Wow lol there are 3 V's
-Triple winning is crazy
-This person is probably 100% 573
-I guess it's because you have big hands, you get a lot of things in your hands.
-Looking at the games and streamers you're talking about, I think you'll hear the chairman's voice from there too.
-So you know, he's the real chairman?
-But why would our country's snow go to the bulletin board? Lol!
-But honestly, I think you can apply everything if you just goㅋㅋㅋ
-What country do you play in? I'll just follow you my whole life.
Everyone assumed that he was a die-hard fan who had invested a lot of money in signing events, and the atmosphere was accepting of this.
But Yoon Na-ra felt a strange sense of discomfort in his chat.
'You're not just a gamer, you're a streamer?'
It felt as if I knew her other identity, Newton's, and was talking to her.
'No. I guess I'm just being overly sensitive.'
But it was only a feeling. It was a somewhat unique reaction, but it wasn't something I couldn't say.
Isn't it a well-known fact that he is famous for his exceptional athletic ability?
-Oh, I have to go to work now.
-I enjoyed the broadcast!
Meanwhile, the winner disappeared, leaving a short message.
-Even big hands do work.
-Looking at him working in the evening, I wonder if he's a businessman.
-If you buy 573 tickets and win 3 times, you need 190 albums for one ticket.
-First of all, the ceiling for this signing event has been confirmed ㅋㅋㅋ
Because he was gone, other fans didn't realize it.
-Is there anyone who bought Chapter 573?
-??
-yes?
-Huh?
-I only won 2 tickets
-omg?
The number of entries sent to the agency by the triple winner is.
-So how many did he buy earlier?
-Did you buy more than 700 of them?
-Then you should have told me first!
-No, then how lucky are you?
The fact that there are only three chapters.
* * *
That night, Purple's broadcast.
“It’s been a while since I’ve done it, but nothing much has changed.”
Lee Kyung-bok smiled and shrugged. His return to the Gunner Ground ended with a perfect result as usual.
-Really lol, aren't you going to class?
-The real fuzzy is a legend… …
-Purple that gives some relaxation to the tense world
-What the hell is that?
-Because if you meet Purple, death is inevitable lol
-Oh lol. Are you saying that you're loosening up because you're confirmed dead? lol.
-You have to meet the latest to go up in the rankings.
-Actually avoiding purple was the content lol
-Auper is science?
-I feel like my skills have improved while I was resting ㅋㅋㅋ
The viewers couldn't hide their admiration, but soon their attention turned elsewhere.
-Before you indulge, let your team members know!
-If it's a fuzzy combination, it doesn't matter who comes, right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Seriously ㅋㅋㅋ If Smer joins the fuzzy team, he'll just be a burden unless he has decent skills
-No matter how big the luggage is, the zero-to-back bus can carry it all!
-Ah, that's the perfect bus (nods)
This was the list of streamers that was revealed along with the Gunner Ground event.
Thanks to the sequential disclosure, Genome and Purple are on the same team, while the remaining two are kept under wraps.
“I want to tell you sooner, but I can’t because it would be a spoiler.”
Lee Kyung-bok firmly refused the viewers' request. But soon he spoke with a smile and a confident voice.
“Instead, I can tell you for sure that we have recruited an amazing team of people.”
-Are you surprised by the invincible ticket?
-If Godple can say something like that, what kind of person is he?
– Big things come to big things! Big things come to big things!
-No! Is there anything that makes you this curious?
-Ah haha this house is good at marketing
-The event is viral, huh?
-He's a participating member, so of course it's viral, ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ
Lee Kyung-bok smiled and waved at the viewers' reactions.
“Please wait for the details to be revealed! Then I will come back again in the next broadcast. Tva!”
The broadcast ended with greetings.
Kyungbok Lee returned to reality, opened the capsule and came out.
At the same time, the smart link vibrated.
[>Hey, we have to go to the autograph session together?]
The one who sent the message was Choi Byeong-hun.
[>Me too? Why?]
I was told before the broadcast that I won the Sweeties autograph session. I won as I wanted, so why do you ask me to come with you?
[>Didn't you hear it when the lottery drawing was announced?]
[>You can go with your group, but the winner must come first.]
[>But you applied for all 3 chapters under your name]
[>Since the autograph session ticket is non-transferable, you have to bring an invincible ticket with you to get in]
Lee Kyung-bok wrinkled his nose slightly.
[>Then there's nothing I can do]
[>But what about the one left?]
[>Is there anyone you want to bring?]
There were a total of three winning tickets. Even if Lee Kyung-bok and Choi Byeong-hun went together, there was still one spot left.
[>There is none around me]
[>If you don't have any, why don't you save someone from the Sweeties fan cafe?]
[>Okay]
[>Edit sgw]
After finishing the chat, Lee Kyung-bok prepared to take a shower. He was thinking about getting some sleep now that the broadcast was over.
Just then there was a knock on the front door.
"……who are you?"
Since no one was coming at this time, Lee Gyeong-bok approached the front door in a puzzled manner.
For a moment, I was worried that it might be a problem, but his magic was quiet. Rather, the magic I felt as I approached the door was a familiar kind.
Then he opened the door.
“Park Joo-ho?”
Park Joo-ho was there.
With a very serious expression, he lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
Lee Kyung-bok asked about his friend's condition.
Park Joo-ho, who had been frozen like a stone statue, opened his mouth in that position.
"……look like."
"huh?"
When Lee Kyung-bok asked in a too small voice, Park Joo-ho opened his mouth again.
“I want to go too.”
“You’re going? Where?”
Lee Kyung-bok asked again, then his eyes turned to the paper bag in Park Joo-ho's hand.
Kyungbok Lee's eyes widened when he saw the items inside.
"……you?"
"okay."
Park Joo-ho quickly held up an envelope.
“I’m Brix too!”
Cheer sticks, fans, towels, etc.
The items inside the envelope were goods for Sweeties' fans, Brix.
“Yes, you… … ?”
Lee Kyung-bok was unusually flustered. Could it be that Park Joo-ho was a fan of Sweeties?
Park Joo-ho observed Lee Kyung-bok's expression and then stepped inside.
“I knew this would happen, so I kept it a secret. I can probably guess how you or Byung-Hoon would react if they found out.”
He sighed and placed the envelope on the table.
“So I was just going to enjoy it by myself. But how, how did I, who bought 40 tickets, lose and you win?”
“It’s just luck…”
“I thought it was safe because there were 30 previous fan signing cuts, but I never thought you would take 3.”
Park Joo-ho let out a bitter laugh.
'This kid is obsessed with idols?'
Lee Kyung-bok felt sincerity in his friend's reaction. It was a great shock for him since he was a friend who usually showed only a cool and rational side, but it was not unacceptable.
'Byunghoon and Sweeties are doing well, I guess.'
I had no intention of interfering with my friend's hobby. Rather, I was impressed by the fact that he was so eager to reveal something he had kept hidden until now.
“Since when have you been a fan?”
“Ever since I started working at the company. Especially when I went on those damn business trips, it was a must. It relieved some of the stress.”
"aha……"
“You may not understand it, but it surprisingly gives me great strength. So I… … ”
Park Joo-ho trailed off for a moment. But soon he made a determined expression and continued speaking.
“I even became a fan cafe operator.”
“… … Management?”
“Yes. I used to work in general affairs. I managed things like sending out coffee trucks and displaying birthday advertisements, and before I knew it, it became like that.”
“Oh.”
Lee Kyung-bok was moved by the story of a friend he had never heard of.
'I guess you're really good at managing fan pages and dealing with complaints.'
From the perspective of Team Perfect CEO, he was hired as a new employee, but he had hidden experience.
“Wait a minute… …But how did you know I won?”
“You know I check your email, right?”
“Email? Ah… … !”
Lee Kyung-bok let out an exclamation with a face that said, “Oh no!” He had habitually written his address in the email section on the application form.
It was clear that Park Joo-ho had seen the email containing the schedule and address for the autograph session that was sent along with the winning ticket.
“Since when have you been a fan?”
“Huh? Oh, that’s… … ”
Lee Kyung-bok hesitated for a moment, but then told Choi Byeong-hun’s story. Since they were both fans, it wouldn’t be a big problem anyway.
“Choi Byung-hoon? He was a fan of Sweeties?”
“Oh, it seems like he hid it because he was afraid you would ignore him. That’s why he lied and said he threw away the entry ticket.”
“Hmm, I guess you’re a newbie. I’ll have to teach you how to stream efficiently, step by step.”
Lee Kyung-bok soon burst into laughter as he looked at Park Joo-ho with shining eyes.
“Well, anyway, it turned out well. It would be nice for the three of us to go out and play for the first time in a while.”
It's been a while since the three of us went out to play together. We've been so busy with work up until now.
“It’ll be fun.”
Lee Kyung-bok was looking forward to the autograph session more than he expected.
