Second Try Idol

Chapter 350: Concert (14)

Chapter 350: Concert (14)

People said happiness truly follows great trials. Recently, Rings had been riding a wave of excitement as Chronos was bustling with activity that made their supposed break seem nonexistent.

YMM Entertainment was taking advantage of the buzz. They celebrated Chronos' first concert by dropping a barrage of videos on UTube every single day. The variety was staggering with behind-the-scenes footage from broadcasts, festivals, music videos, holiday clips filmed by the members themselves, and even freshly created variety shows like escaping from the practice room. This made sure Rings remained glued to their screens.

The members frequently popped up on Q-app for live sessions, and whispers about the real identity of Eden have stirred up intrigue amidst this.

Was it just a rumor? Who knows? Kim Go-Ri was one of the many Rings thrashing in happiness. She was most fervently digging into the mystery of Eden's identity in the middle of the onslaught of content.

Although she had watched other uploaded videos to the point of exaggeratingly replaying them hundreds of times and memorizing the dialogues, her main focus remained on unraveling who Eden really was.

- Gosh, I can't wait anymore. When will they reveal who it is? Now that everyone kinda knows... Just take off the mask, Hyun-Woo... I’m seriously dying of curiosity.

- No way, it’s too obvious lol

- We can still feel the awkwardness from behind the mask. This is just priceless ????

- Will Eden pop up in the next episode? That should seal the deal.

- But isn’t it a problem if it's really Hyun-Woo? With a concert and even a solo song coming up, how can he still manage to do this? YMM, please get it together and consider your artists’ health!!!

Some found Suh Hyun-Woo's attempts to hide his identity as Eden adorable and hoped he would seize this chance to showcase his main vocal talents. Others thought it was all too much and wished it wasn’t him.

But the consensus was crystal clear that Eden had to be Suh Hyun-Woo. The Rings started it, and now, UTube was flooded with evidence confirming Eden was Suh Hyun-Woo. No one, fan or non-fan, was left in the dark anymore.

Kim Go-Ri herself was convinced and consumed every piece of content released under Eden's name with voracious interest.

"Ah, the way he fidgets with his gloves is so endearing."

"Hey, what will you do if it turns out Eden isn’t Hyun-Woo?" her sister, Kim Hyang-Su asked.

Kim Go-Ri shook her head firmly. Her eyes were still glued to the screen. "No way, it’s definitely Hyun-Woo. Just listen to him. Even his speech pattern is the same. Can't you recognize an Allure member even when they are masked? They have these little habits, you know."

Kim Hyang-Su was instantly convinced because of Kim Go-Ri’s logic. "That’s true. They are recognizable from a mile away just by the way they breathe~"

Just then, Kim Go-Ri’s phone vibrated with a notification.

[Special Clip] Hyun-Woo (Hyun-woo) - Sirens (4K)

"AAAAAH!!!"

"Gosh! You scared me! What the heck?"

Kim Go-Ri was completely obsessed. "It’s here!!! Sirens, Sirens!"

"If mom was home, you would be in so much trouble." Kim Hyang-Su gave Kim Go-Ri a look of mock exasperation and went back into her room.

"You would do the same if this was about Allure!" Kim Go-Ri yelled back at her sister and hurriedly clicked on the Chronos UTube channel with her heart pounding.

Last week Lee Jin-Sung’s song came out, three days ago it was Kang Joo-Han’s turn, and today, the spotlight was on Suh Hyun-Woo’s solo song with a special clip. YMM seemed to have finally gotten their act together as the solo songs and video quality from members were top-notch, starting with Yoon-Chan’s.

As Suh Hyun-Woo finally locked eyes with the camera, the intro music began. His expression transitioned to a radiant smile. What followed was an upbeat dance sequence.

? Yeah- How have you been?

Under the beautiful sunshine,

I pull your hand toward me

The earlier menacing purple vibe had vanished. The live performance was now bright, joyous, and vibrant. The occasional sound of an ocarina floated through the air. Suh Hyun-Woo weaved between the dancers and sang.

? What do you want to do today?

Let's quietly whisper and do whatever you desire

While there was no intense dance typical of Suh Hyun-Woo, the quality of the song and his performance more than compensated.

Just as Kim Go-Ri was basking in the pleasure of the performance, the screen abruptly shifted. It appeared to be shot with a camcorder and showed Suh Hyun-Woo laughing with someone. He then took someone's hand off-camera and headed somewhere.

‘It’s clearly a date scene.’ Kim Go-Ri's expression twisted oddly. 'How should I feel about this?'

She wasn’t into the simulated dating drama with Chronos. She had become a fan because she loved their stage presence, their humanity, and the genuine affection they showed each other. But that didn’t mean she wanted to see her favorite singer dating someone else.

‘Ah, the storyline sucks. I wish they’d just release the live footage separately later.'

Of course, seeing such a rare, soft smile from Suh Hyun-Woo was truly a treat.

"Pfft!"

Amidst the alternating scenes of live footage and additional filmed segments, a cameo momentarily captured Kim Go-Ri's attention. It was someone with an undeniable presence because he always effortlessly drew all eyes to him.

There he was, strolling sweetly behind Suh Hyun-Woo on a date in the park, awkwardly bumping into a tree. He beamed like sunlight and deliberately made eye contact with the camera while energetically waving his hand.

"What's going on here?"

It was a fleeting moment, but Kim Go-Ri's gaze had locked with his.

"Isn't that Joon?" she blurted out.

Just then, Goh Yoo-Joon appeared once more on the screen. This time, he was behind Suh Hyun-Woo at a cafe, forming a heart with his hands and flashing an exaggeratedly cheerful smile toward the camera.

‘Awww, my Yoo-Joon is indeed the world's most entertaining man!'

In a moment of distraction, Kim Go-Ri chuckled loudly and moved her cursor to rewind and catch another glimpse of Goh Yoo-Joon.

"Ah." Kim Go-Ri hastily withdrew her hand from the mouse. The screen had been displaying a live performance set in an ancient temple, but it suddenly swirled into chaos. Then, it shifted scenes.

It returned to the purple bedroom that had been shown at the start. There, Suh Hyun-Woo stood illuminated and alone, surrounded by dancers whose faces were obscured by black hoods. The mood of the song shifted dramatically. The earlier cheerful expression vanished, and it was replaced by a dreamy and mysterious ambiance reminiscent of "Moon Sea."

"Wow." Her focus snapped back instantly. Suh Hyun-Woo was clearly a master at embodying such enigmatic concepts.
