10 minutes before the live broadcast…
Unlike the calm Eun-ho, Eun-ji was pacing around the studio, unable to stay still.
“This is nerve-wracking.”
“Ahh, what should I do? I’m so nervous!”
“I know you’re nervous, but can you at least sit down while you tremble?”
At Eun-ho’s request, Eun-ji sat down.
Eun-ji was shaking like a vibrating phone next to me.
Eun-ho sighed, rubbing his forehead, even though it was just seconds away.
“Hyung, do we have any calming pills or something…?”
“Should I go buy some?”
Hyun-woo asked worriedly, and Eun-ho smiled and waved his hand.
“No, I have a better idea.”
“What is it?”
Eun-ho, looking at the still-trembling Eun-ji, said,
“Lee Eun-ji.”
“Yeah?”
“Are you an amateur?”
Eun-ji’s trembling stopped abruptly.
As Eun-ji slowly turned her head, Eun-ho smiled and said,
“What are you going to do if you tremble like this every time we go live?”
Hyun-woo was worried that Eun-ji might be hurt by Eun-ho’s blunt words.
But Eun-ji took his words seriously and nodded.
“That’s true. A professional wouldn’t be nervous like this. Was I like this too?”
Hyun-woo’s head was filled with question marks at Eun-ji’s question.
But Eun-ho seemed to understand what she meant and answered casually,
“You were amazing. You did it all the time.”
Hyun-woo’s confusion only deepened at Eun-ho’s cryptic reply.
“That’s true. A professional wouldn’t be nervous. Was I like this too?”
“You were amazing. You did it all the time.”
Before the regression…
Lee Eun-ji did live broadcasts so often that the CEO would plead, “Eun-ji, please stop…”
Of course, I also told her to tone it down.
“You did it all the time.”
I answered her question, thinking that’s what she meant.
And I was right.
Eun-ji, who had been trembling, suddenly calmed down.
“5 minutes! Please get ready!”
At the staff’s cheerful announcement, I looked up at the large tablet in front of us.
The E-FAN app was open on the tablet, mounted on a stand.
The staff had prepared it so we could see the chat window while looking at the camera.
Were the fans also excited?
Although the screen was still dark, messages were rapidly filling the chat window.
I thought I was fine, but the chat window was accelerating, too fast for my eyes to follow, and my heart started racing.
“Hey, Hoon, can you bring me the staff account?”
“Here you go.”
CEO Park took the phone with the staff account login from a staff member.
He typed something on the phone, and then red text appeared on the screen, too small to read.
After that, the chat speed noticeably slowed down.
[This is NRY Entertainment.]
[To ensure smooth communication between E-UNG and their fans during the live broadcast…]
[The chat speed has been adjusted.]
[Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you enjoy the show.]
A live announcement in bold text appeared in the chat window.
Although some fans complained about the slower speed, most seemed to agree, having also been overwhelmed by the fast pace.
The chat speed slowed down enough to be readable.
Eun-ho and Eun-ji simultaneously gave CEO Park a thumbs-up.
CEO Park smiled in satisfaction and handed the phone back to the staff member.
“10 seconds to live!”
Time flew by.
10, 9, 8…
3, 2, 1.
[Kyaaaaaah!]
[ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[I love you Eun-ho I love you Eun-ji
I love you Eun-ho I love you Eun-ji
I love you Eun-ho I love you Eun-ji…]
As the screen lit up…
The chat window was flooded with messages, despite the reduced speed.
Many people were spamming the same message.
[Users reported 5 times or more]
[will be banned from using the chat, so please be mindful!]
A warning message with multiple implications appeared, and the chat finally seemed to calm down.
“Hello everyone! E-UNG, Lee Eun-ho.”
“And Lee Eun-ji! Hello! Kyaa!”
Eun-ji was as excited as the fans, fidgeting in her seat.
“Calm down. What are you going to do if you’re more excited than the fans?”
As Eun-ho gently pushed Eun-ji’s shoulder, making her sit down, the chat was filled with “LOL.”
“Everyone! How have you been?”
Eun-ji asked, looking at the chat, and the responses were divided into three distinct categories.
[We missed you ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[We missed you!]
[I had kimbap today!]
Those who cried as they replied.
Those who exclaimed they missed us.
And those who said something completely unrelated.
“Haha.”
As Eun-ho chuckled at the clearly divided responses, the chat was flooded with excited messages like “Kyaa,” “I love you,” and “ㅠㅠㅠㅠ.”
If we kept getting distracted by the chat, we wouldn’t be able to do anything.
So, Eun-ho, ignoring the excited Eun-ji, started with their prepared script.
“Everyone, we mentioned something in the announcement before the broadcast, did you see it?”
The scrolling “Yes” messages, their length determined by the users’ nicknames, were cute.
Just then…
“That’s right!”
Bang!
Eun-ji slammed the table and jumped up.
There was no time to stop her this time.
“Hey, did you break the table?”
“It’s not broken!”
Eun-ji yelled, checking the spot where she hit the table, and the chat was filled with “LOL.”
Eun-ji ignored Eun-ho and turned back to the chat window.
She seemed to have something to say.
“Do you guys also not like ‘Eung-a’?”
Eun-ji asked, and the chat, as if they had been expecting this, was divided.
[No!]
[It’s cute!]
[I like it!]
[It’s gross!]
[It’s weird!]
[It’s okay!]
Eun-ho, seemingly the only one who hadn’t heard about this, tilted his head and looked at Eun-ji.
“Oh, you didn’t know, Oppa?”
“No. What is it?”
“Well, I asked Seul-gi unnie about fan names.”
“Okay, and? Why ‘Eung-a’ all of a sudden?”
“I suggested ‘Eung-a’ as a fan name.”
“To Seul-gi? What did she say?”
“She said it was terrible. So we were discussing other options, and she suggested asking for suggestions during the live broadcast—”
“And the CEO decided to do it today.”
“Yeah.”
Eun-ji explained the reason for the live broadcast.
Now, the viewers also understood why this sudden live broadcast was happening.
“What do you guys think?”
Eun-ho asked, looking at the chat, and various opinions poured in, just like before.
After observing for a while, the results were: 20% “Good,” 20% “Not bad,” and 60% “Bad,” so ‘Eung-a’ had a mostly negative response.
“What about the others?”
We also asked for opinions within the company, and everyone except the CEO voted against it.
Eun-ho said, smiling,
The staff wanted a prettier name.
“Since even the CEO, who suggested ‘Tiger something,’ is against it, I’m definitely vetoing it.”
[LOL]
[As expected, Rangi is firm when it comes to things he doesn’t like lol]
[Rangi hates tigers lol]
After ‘Eung-a’ was rejected, Eun-ji clicked her tongue and sat down, looking disappointed.
“‘Eung-a’ is cute, though.”
“No, it’s not.”
As Eun-ho casually dismissed her, the chat was filled with mixed responses: “I agree, ‘Eung-a’ is cute ㅠㅠㅠ,” “Too bad,” and “Ji-ji got rejected lol.”
Eun-ho, watching the chat, said,
“Now, we’ll ask you. What should our fan name be?”
The first suggestions were shape names.
[Donggeuri (round)]
[Semo (triangle)]
[Nemo (square)]
They weren’t bad, but the response was lukewarm.
[Eung-sik-i]
[Eung-dol-i]
[Eung-sun-i]
Then came names based on “Eung,” like Eung-sik-i, Eung-dol-i, and Eung-sun-i, but the response wasn’t good either.
Eun-ji was reading a comment when…
“99-cone?”
“Why 99-cone out of the blue?”
“Well, someone said, ‘Because I want to eat one right now.’”
“Haha.”
I burst out laughing, more out of disbelief than amusement.
But from then on, the chat was flooded with all sorts of jokes and puns.
“Ji-eut?”
“Ji-eut?”
“E-ung Ji-eut, because ‘E-UNG is acknowledged.’”
“Haha.”
The chat went wild every time Eun-ho laughed.
“Woong-i? What’s Woong-i? Ah, because E-UNG can also be read as ‘E-woong.’ E-yu (reason). E-yu is good. Tell us your bank account number. Why your bank account number?”
“And why ATM right after that…?”
“Ah, haha. They’re saying they’ll give us money, so tell them our account number.”
“Haha. No way. Save your money and buy our albums and merch later.”
“Aeseul-i?”
“Isn’t Aeseul-i a restaurant name?”
I asked, tilting my head at the random restaurant name among the jokes and serious suggestions.
“Ew, this is a bit much to read out loud.”
“What is it?”
Eun-ji leaned closer and read the comment.
[Because their faces are a feast for the eyes.]
“Ah, I see why Lee Eun-ho didn’t want to read it. You might look like a rockfish, but I’m pretty!”
“You look like a pumpkin. Shut up.”
I almost told her to shut up, but I bit my tongue.
[LOL]
[They’re fighting again lol]
[Pumpkin lol]
[Lol Rangi almost cursed, but he held back lol]
How did they know?
Why did they find it so funny whenever we fought?
I didn’t understand, but thanks to that, ‘Aeseul-i’ was getting a positive response.
But it wasn’t suitable as a fandom name, so we skipped it.
Or rather, we tried to skip it, but the fans seemed fixated on it.
[Leshuli]
[E-seul-i…?]
[E-seul?]
[Sleep Seul (Jamiseul)]
Please, don’t go there.
We’re deciding on a fan name, not your own names!
Eun-ji read the embarrassing and funny ones, and I scanned the chat for serious suggestions.
But contrary to my hopes, the chat was on fire with jokes and puns.
Especially ‘Eung-a’ and ‘Eung-ga’!
Please, stop.
‘Our Eung-as, Eung-gas…’
This was not it!!!
