I Became the Youngest Member of a Top Idol Group

Chapter 67: It's an Honor

‘A genius?’

‘Is he really a genius?’

The direction of the arrangement was led by Do Seohan, and the incredible result was produced by Billy Vinger, who absorbed everything like a sponge.

The two of them were unaware that they were having the same thought at the same time.

Seohan couldn't close his mouth in awe after listening to the intermediate version of the completed "Spacewalk" by Yoo Young.

He knew it was a good song from the start.

Perhaps it was because of the specific arrangement direction given.

But this… seems to have gotten better?

Suddenly feeling inspired, Billy Vinger, who had been pouring out ideas wildly, produced an astonishing result.

After all, even though people may stumble for a moment, their genius doesn't fade.

He let out a sigh of admiration and took off his headset.

"Composer-nim..."

Seohan raised his thumb with a face full of admiration.

This wasn't a vibe from social life; it was genuinely from the heart.

"You’re amazing."

"Composer-nim, you’re the best\~."

Cha Seongbin grinned and echoed Do Seohan's words.

Billy Vinger subtly beamed with pride at the two's compliments and cleared his throat.

"Ahem. Well, it's not that great."

"I’m honored to receive such a masterpiece."

Seohan nodded deeply and spoke seriously.

Then, he gave a hint to Cha Seongbin, who was standing upright.

"Hyung, you too."

"Oh."

Billy Vinger suppressed a laugh as he watched them.

He had heard that Seongbin was three years older, but it felt like the age difference had reversed.

Cha Seongbin, who belatedly realized what Seohan meant, politely clasped his hands together.

"Ah, I’m truly honored too!"

"You’re a genius."

"Wow! I’m getting nervous!"

Indeed, Cha Seongbin, who had even made the arrangement guide track himself, felt genuinely proud that his arrangement direction had been adopted by Billy Vinger.

Which top-tier, broad-minded composer would listen to the words of a mere trainee?

"Successful people really are different\~."

Cha Seongbin thought so as he cheerfully shook Billy Vinger's hand.

"It was great working with you!"

"Hey geniuses, I’m telling you, you’re going to make it big."

The best praise from a hit song composer.

Seohan responded smoothly to Billy Vinger's words.

"Ah, the song was made by someone, so of course, it should be a hit."

"Be honest. Friend, have you had social life experience?"

"I’ve just rolled around a bit… in this industry."

Billy Vinger looked at Seohan and smiled warmly.

"I really like him."

Not only is he good-looking, but his personality also perfectly fits my taste.

The kid has both sense and awareness.

And on top of that, he’s talented.

"I’m going to head out now, Composer-nim!"

Ah, if he were my child, I would have been full even without eating.

While Stardust was struggling to create a breathtaking debut album.

Posts with these kinds of topics frequently appeared on the community.

Since StarF had been a major hit among idol fans, it was natural that people were curious about the future of the debut group members.

\[What concept will Stardust debut with?]

There's no way they'll do the obvious space concept for the title, right?

If they name it Universe or something, I’ll go to Doubles Entertainment's office and break the planning team’s heads.

* Sorry, but it’s 100% happening, lol.

└ Hahahahahahaha honestly, it’s definitely happening.

└ Realistically speaking, they used that concept so much during StarF, they won’t not use it for the debut album.

└ I just hope our kids don’t come out riding a spaceship….

└ Haha hahahah crazy.

└ Mysterious alien theme incoming.

└ Spaceship? No way.

└ What’s frustrating is that it already feels like we’ve seen the debut album concept teaser ㅠㅠ.

└ Damn spaceship hahahahaha, are they out of their minds?

* Will the debut song be refreshing?

└ I don’t think they’ll come out with a refreshing vibe, but I don’t think they’ll debut with a hardcore concept either.

└ Agreed, they’re the youngest among the project groups, so I’d love to see them do a refreshing concept.

└ I don’t know, but Byo-Seohan as a refreshing center, please show us just once.

└ Considering overseas reactions, I think they might debut with a power-refreshing concept?

└ 222222

└ For sure, I don’t think it’ll be a cute concept.

So far, there had been no official debut teaser released by Doubles.

Although the Stardust Project had ended not too long ago, fans were already drying up from the lack of new content.

So, everyone was guessing when the debut schedule would be set.

What kind of atmosphere would the debut album concept have?

They were all busy speculating.

* Just give us some Doubles content….

* At least do a live once, pleaseㅠㅠ

* Doubles, you bastards, are you planning to keep our kids wrapped up in a blanket until their debut?

At the time when fans were starting to lose patience and venting their frustration, a piece of good news came in.

The main idol live communication platform, YUI App, had created an official Stardust account.

\[Crazy, Stardust official YUI App account created]

Finally, Doubles is communicating?

Guys, please just turn on a live stream once.

A woman has been waiting desperately for this.

If you stop the first YUI App after 10 minutes, I’ll pretend I didn’t see it, just please turn it on.

With the scarce content period, everyone was hoping for anything to drop.

They all anxiously waited for a YUI App live session to be held soon.

And then.

One fan’s wish came true sooner than expected.

That night, the long-awaited notification rang on the YUI App.

Ding-

With a rather long title as well.

\[Hello, supporters! This is Stardust, nice to meet you all…]

No one knew what they were trying to type for the live title, but it was so long that it got cut off halfway.

Fans who had been watching the members through StarF immediately knew who the title’s creator was.

Quiet Seohan would never take on the burden of choosing the first YUI App title.

Searching king Jin Sehyun may not seem like it, but he actually has some subtle sense.

So then…

Only one person could have written such a straightforward title.

Kang Siwoo, is that you?

* Who wrote the title? Hahaha

* Is it Kang Siwoo?

* You’re definitely Kang Siwoo.

* Even from 1km away, it’s Kang Siwoo.

* Siwoo, ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

But teasing the world’s most honest Kang Siwoo would be an issue later.

There was no way they were going to miss Stardust's first official live.

Quickly-

Fans rushed to access YUI App and joined the live stream.

---

"Ah, it's on."

The first thing fans encountered after entering the live was Do Seohan’s face attacking them.

Seohan, who was curious if the camera was properly working, was right up close to the lens.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t great for the fans' cardiovascular health.

"Crazy Seohan!!!!"

"Did you plan to stop my heart as soon as you walked in?"

"Your face is heaven, are you crazy?"

Seohan checked the mobile phone carefully, looking it up and down, then asked.

"Is this right?"

He was slightly confused.

"Everyone, can you see me?"

"Yes, Hamji, we can see you very well."

"As soon as I saw Do Seohan's face, my eyesight improved."

"Seohan I love you!!!!"

"The halo is insane."

"I can't see anything but light."

"Just light."

Seohan, slightly flustered by the quickly rising comments, turned his head back.

‘Can I read these?’

As a true idol, I should catch each comment and interact with them.

Even though it was my second life, being an idol was new to me…

Seohan, unlike himself, stuttered and awkwardly smiled.

It would be easier to perform on stage; this was way too difficult.

Ha Junseo asked with wide eyes.

"What? What’s wrong?"

"The comments… are coming in so fast."

"Ah, so cute ㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

"Even those big eyes are like a hamster, it's killing me."

"Can you see my comment?"

"Seohan, you should be proud, the reason there are so many comments is because you're super popular."

"It’s my birthday today, please say my name."

"Do Seohan! I love you! Congratulations on your debut!"

"Like a hamster? Thank you."

Seohan caught one comment and bowed his head.

Having done what he needed to, he quickly returned to his spot.

"Alright, shall we start properly?"

The Yui app was successfully turned on, and the camera angle was set properly, so it was time to greet everyone.

Still, since it was my first Yui app, I couldn’t just skip a proper greeting.

Although the official greeting script hadn’t been decided, it was a little awkward, but there was no choice.

"I-I will greet you now."

Kang Siwoo sent a brief signal, and they all shouted in unison.

"Hello, we are Stardust!"

"Waahhh…!"

"Actually, I’m so excited, everyone!"

Seo Haim raised both arms and shook them excitedly.

His bright red face reflected his excitement perfectly.

"Ah, Seo Haim is really excited ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

"The red-cheeked chick, what will you do ㅠㅠ"

"His already high tension looks even higher today, that’s true energy."

The other members' faces were just as red with excitement and nervousness.

Seo Ian kept waving shyly towards the camera, while repeatedly cooling his warm cheeks with his hands.

Meanwhile, it was Cha Seongbin and Jin Sehyun who were surprisingly skilled despite it being their first time.

"Cha Seongbin, 'You look good today'? Thank you, I’m getting more handsome every day~."

"Hyung, that’s not it."

"Sehyun, it’s okay. You’re handsome too."

"Oh, then…?"

Jin Sehyun, the search king, was almost as fast as LTE in catching the fans' reactions.

"Seohan, don’t go to the back."

"Ah, yes."

"Junseo hyung still drinks that deadly coffee, right? Yeah, he drank it yesterday and got caught by me, and I scolded him."

"...He got caught."

"Ha Junseo, stop drinking that deadly coffee."

"You’re surviving because you're 21, but when you get older, you’ll die for real."

"Sehyun, let’s take Junseo’s deadly coffee away."

"Want me to scold him more? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Junseo hyung’s health."

Jin Sehyun patted his chest, nodding his head as if to say, "Just trust me."

"Ah, I really like Jin Sehyun."

"Why is Jin Sehyun so good at reading comments? Hahahahaha."

"Sehyun, can you scold me too? I drank five cups of coffee today ㅠㅠ."

"Sehyun’s special calmness and eye smiles drive me crazy. You’re a genius idol. Already, my heart is pounding, what should I do?"

They had a light chat with the fans for a few minutes.

Although it seemed a little awkward at first, they quickly adapted, and the audio didn’t cut off.

The atmosphere was fine like this.

However...

While communicating with fans was important, there were also instructions from Doubles that needed to be addressed today.

Ha Junseo gave Seohan a look.

‘Ah, I need to bring this up soon.’

"Uh..."

After briefly timing himself, Ha Junseo awkwardly called out to Seohan. His thoughts came out of his mouth without being filtered.

"Seohan, give us a simple briefing about what we need to do today."

Hmm?

"..."

It was so awkward that there was a moment of silence.

"Excuse me?"

What kind of line was that?

Jin Sehyun looked at Ha Junseo with a shocked expression.

This sounds familiar, though...

"Hyung, what’s with the Siri-like tone?"

"Eh?"

"Crazy Siri ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah, I get what you mean now."

"Siri ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Brief us ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

"Byo-Seohan, AI on."

"Yes, what we need to do today is..."

The funniest part was that Do Seohan did exactly as he was told.

"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Siri-like Byo-Seohan, doing exactly what’s asked."

"Byori~"

"Is Byori crazy? I’m going to faint."

"Byori? Ah, hahahaha, they’re all joking around."

No matter how much the comment section was flooded with laughter, Seohan, who was nervous for his first live broadcast, couldn’t see the comments.

He was just diligently fulfilling Ha Junseo’s orders.

"The company people emphasized several times that everything must be done within today’s live... so we need to move quickly. First... "

Stardust’s glorious first Yui app.

Byori Do Seohan began to spill out the prepared data.

"Today, we need to decide on our team leader and our fan club name."

"Oh, Siri?"

"Yes...?"

Anyway, the very important main course was still ahead.
