Hello, Im the Visible Radio DJ Yu Jia. Todays guest is someone who has worked with me on a program before.

At the end of this promotion, I appeared on a radio program.

Yu Jia and I werent particularly close, but since we were acquainted, the other members of The Dawn felt more at ease and were immersed in the broadcast.

Todays guest is the rising idol group, like a comet, The Dawn!

Hello! Rising dawn! We are The Dawn!

Visible Radio has many advantages. Fans could see a more relaxed and friendly side of us compared to regular broadcasts, create videos known as taming clips, and even perform live.

[Oh Ive been waiting so long for today]

[Wow, Seo Hoyuns clothes are bright today]

[I love the cardigan]

[What, did you give up on black clothes?]

No I still like them

But there was no choice.

The members knew that fans wanted me to wear something other than black, and I pleaded with the wardrobe staff multiple times that I absolutely couldnt wear black today Eventually, I wore slightly brighter clothes.

I dont really know why this was so important, but

Well if they like it

Yu Jia smiled happily as she looked at the chatroom filling up faster than usual. The radio broadcast went smoothly under her skilled leadership.

Right~! I heard you prepared songs. Can we hear a verse from each?

Preparing something whenever appearing on the radio was customary, so we practiced thoroughly.

You cant find love here, but you can put your love in.

[?????? Is this a dream?]

[Am I really hearing Put Love from Seong Jiwons mouth?]

[Jiwon, I love you ]

The song Seong Jiwon sang was by a foreign female artist. The song had a sweet voice, soft beats, and lyrics with various nuances, making it a hot topic.

The chatroom was filled with sounds of fans swooning as Seong Jiwon sang the song with his attractive voice.

Thank you.

Seong Jiwon sang with full immersion, then blushed and laughed shyly as the song ended.

Next to him, Jeong Dajun adjusted his headset and gave a thumbs-up.

I sang a carefully-selected song and turned my head, only to lock eyes with Yu Jia.

?

I felt a strange vibe for a moment but Yu Jia quickly moved on with her following remark, disguising it naturally.

Perhaps because of her acting experience and years of radio broadcasting, even the fans didnt notice anything.

[Hoyun, your song selection is fantastic. How did you think to have a male idol sing this????

A Disney medley from a male idol, this is insane

And such a nasty personality too

Ah, a princess with a nasty personality is the best]

[Ah, Daepaseong is doing well these days]

After various conversations and corners, we successfully ended the radio broadcast Yu Jia approached me as if waiting for the camera to turn off.

Seo Hoyun.

Yes.

Its heartwarming to see you getting along well with your members.

Thanks for your consideration. Were doing well together.

Oh, my?

Although her words were empty, Yu Jia still smiled brightly. But then, she looked at me meaningfully for a moment, which was unusual. She was an experienced actress who had been in the entertainment industry for years.

She seems to be hinting at something.

Is there something you want to say?

Ah.

Feeling somewhat exposed, I tried to laugh it off. But Yu Jia seemed to realize something and gave an awkward smile.

Um~, not yet, I guess.

Huh?

Its nothing. Just be careful with your members.

Yu Jia left with cryptic words and disappeared to talk with the staff.

Kim Seonghyeon gestured to me to hurry up.

Lets go.

Yeah.

That felt strange.

We walked to the van, and everyone seemed tired as they dragged their feet.

Its the end of the last schedule. Time for a break.

A break? Really?

A break? Seong Jiwon repeated Kang Ichaes words and tilted his head in confusion.

This was even a little scary to me.

We have to practice.

Are you not releasing the next album?

Did you want to be a singer?

Everyone was shaking with excitement. Kang Ichae was so shocked that he clung to Seong Jiwon almost as if begging him.

Hyung, please stop Weve only been able to sleep for two hours these days.

It seems youre grateful and want to work even harder. Alright.

And one more thing.

I glanced at my manager.

Hmm, Im in a good mood today~.

He is so innocent.

How much more could I take advantage of him?

I tilted my head slightly as I looked at my manager. If our dear manager was only innocent, I would have kicked him out long ago

Upon thinking carefully, I slyly asked.

Manager, did you say you have a family?

Yes! My lovely and respectable wife, and Grace Rosie~.

Grace Rosie?

Thats the name of our Shih Tzu.

He had a better naming sense than Joo Woosung, who named his pretty cat Nyangnyang.[3]

But Hoyun, why are you asking??

Ahaha, I was just curious.

Well, anyway, it was good.

For the things Id ask in the future, a person with a wife (and a pet dog named Grace Rosie) was more suitable than a single person without anyone to be responsible for.

I chuckled and turned my gaze out the window.

Arriving at the dorm, I was lying on the couch. I tried calming my mind, but Jeong Dajun was constantly fidgeting.

Um, Hoyun

Read it.

Kyaaa! Its an honor!

Jeong Dajun rushed into his room with the script. Under Seong Jiwons strong insistence, the other members dispersed into their rooms quickly after deciding to take care of their own business and go to the practice room together.

As I was left alone in the quiet living room, I whispered.

Hey.

[You want the stats?]

Give me a sign if you understand.

Did I really have to call it a stat at this age?

[Seo Hoyun, a really rude and selfish idol who always does things his way.

Singing: A

Dance: B+

Variety: A-

Acting: B-

???: ???

Charm: B+]

Did the variety skill increase a bit?

This activity itself wasnt bad. It was quite an achievement compared to the growth of other peoples stats.

Dance could be left alone for now, and the remaining question marks still havent appeared. I didnt even plan to improve acting.

Should I take a shower first?

Uh-ah!

Even though Id have to shower again after going to the practice room, I decided to shower first because I felt uncomfortable. As I raised my head, Jeong Dajun was staring at me intently.

Hyung.

Wow, shit, what a surprise.

In the meantime, Jeong Dajun had already finished reading the script and was holding it preciously, kneeling in front of me with a lost expression.

Why, why are you doing this? Get away from me.

No, this is Jeonghun. Lee Jeonghun.

What was he talking about?

Who was Lee Jeonghun?

Ignoring him, thinking that it would be better for my nerves, I was about to go take a shower when Jeong Dajun grabbed the hem of my clothes and stretched it out.

Lee Jeonghuuuuun! Its a perfeeeect match!

What are you talking about?

Hyung, listen. Ive read up to the middle, and I swear to God, the person in this script is soooo much like you. The personality, the way of talking, its just like you.

Get lost.

Kkuaak! Its too similar! Can you see this? Look, the goosebumps on my arm!

Jeong Dajun raised his arm to show me, but I pushed it away, uninterested.

Please act! This is a waste of talent!

What is he talking about.?

I didnt have any intentions of acting anyway.

However, the following words that came out even surprised me.

Please, I beg you, become PD Lee Jeonghun!

What?

[1] I realized after doing this chapter that I had been somewhat inconsistent with translating this title. Please Serve the Cider is a literal translation of . But a more natural English translation would be Please Serve the Refreshment or Please Serve the Satisfaction since Koreans often use cider (as in drinking it) to mean something refreshing or satisfying.

[2] A&R stands for Artists and Repertoire. They are responsible for talent scouting and overseeing the artistic development of recording artists

[3] Woosungs cat is named , which can be translated roughly to Meowmeow.
