Chapter 25: Forced to perform on stage

05 month 08 day.

Every Friday, Kang Do-hwan reports to the KBS main station. After their last collaboration, the chemistry between him and Bae Joo-hyun has improved a lot.

At least when they interacted, it wasn't as awkward as before.

On his way to work, Kang Do-hwan deliberately waved his phone with an anti-peep film towards his fans.

She wanted to tell them that she had accepted their opinions well, and this action was successfully captured by Chen Yuanyuan's camera.

She patted Gao Zixiang's shoulder excitedly and said with a smile:

"Do Hwan oppa really heard what I said~ I am so happy to be his fan!"

Gao Zixiang curled the corners of his mouth. He was the one who helped put on the anti-peep film himself.

Of course, he didn't say this out loud.

He recalled what Chen Yuanyuan had posted on the Chinese social media app and said jokingly:
"Isn't someone a fan of Chanyeolxi? I ​​remember EXO is coming back soon, right?"

"Stop talking too much. Can't you just like both? Idols and actors are different, so there's no conflict of interest!"

"Yes, yes, do you want to have dinner together after today? I want you to teach me how to Photoshop."

Gao Zixiang was somewhat nervous when he said this. Firstly, he wanted to have more contact with the object of his secret crush, and secondly, he really wanted to learn photo editing techniques.

According to his personality, if he wants to be a stand-up guy, he must do it well.

The statement "specializing in posting unretouched photos" was just a joke.

Chen Yuanyuan didn't notice the other party's little thoughts, smiled and gave a thumbs up, and said cheerfully:

"Okay, then you'll treat me to a meal as tuition?"

"No problem, let's put it this way, Teacher Chen."

"Hahahaha! I will teach you well, Gao~"

Jiang Zhaohuan, who walked into the waiting room to prepare for the program rehearsal, naturally had no idea what was happening outside.

He was flipping through the script in his hand at this moment. He had an excellent memory and always read it before rehearsal.

After all, there are not many lines, so the difficult part is the interaction.

After two rounds of rehearsals, Jiang Zhaohuan leaned on the sofa in the waiting room, looking a little tired.

There are still fifteen minutes until the live broadcast, so it should be okay to take a short nap.

Bae Joo-hyun, who was sitting nearby, caught a glimpse of the sleeping Jiang Zhaohuan, reached out and patted her manager, Song Hae-sil, beside her, and whispered in a low voice:

"Ouni, please turn your phone to silent mode and let Zhao Huanxi rest for a while."

"Inside."

After Song Haishi adjusted his phone, he thought of the news he had just seen, leaned close to Pei Zhuxuan's ear and sighed:
"Zhao Huanxi is quite good. He took part in the first semester exam of Yonsei University two days ago. His results were just released in the news. It was said that a student from the same school broke the news. He ranked fourth in the grade."

It is not easy for the crew to host the show while filming.

It is indeed a remarkable thing that one has to compress sleep time to study for exams in order not to affect one's studies.

Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but think back to when she became a trainee at SM Entertainment after graduating from high school.

At that time, in order to step onto the stage I had always dreamed of, I gave up my college studies, and my family didn't understand me for this.

Only her sister has been supportive.

Bae Joo-hyun sometimes wonders whether giving up her studies is the right choice.

But the moment I stood on the stage and saw the fans cheering for me, it seemed like everything was worth it.

Bae Joo-hyun gathered her memories and looked down at the script in her hands, knowing she had to memorize it to avoid making mistakes.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly and Jiang Zhaohuan woke up instantly when he heard the door open.

He raised his hand and was about to rub his eyes when he felt someone pulling his arm. He turned around in confusion and found that it was Bae Joo-hyun.

He was still a little confused after just waking up, and didn't realize why she did this.

"Don't rub your eyes. It will be troublesome if the makeup around your eyes is smudged." Bae Joo Hyun reminded him. Previously, Son Seung Wan was scolded for a long time by another manager because he rubbed his eye makeup.

Thinking of the bad-tempered agent, Bae Joo-hyun also had a headache. She was never able to communicate well with him every time.

If something doesn't go his way, he'll spit out all kinds of dirty words. I don't know which senior executive sent this person in with connections.

As a worker, she only dared to think about it in her heart. As for resistance...she had no ability to protect herself now.

If you want to have a say in the company, you have to become a popular idol and be of great value to the company, then your petitions and opinions will be listened to.

Jiang Zhaohuan only reacted after hearing Pei Zhuxuan's reminder. He put down his hand and said gratefully:
"Kangsanmidha, irene xi."

"You're welcome, let's go."

Under the guidance of the staff, the two worked in perfect harmony to complete the MC work for the first few stages.

Before entering the temporary waiting room, Kim Taehyung, who was standing at the back preparing to be interviewed, waved to Kang Do Hwan.

Jiang Zhaohuan nodded to Kim Taehyung, then glanced at Tian Jungkook who was standing in the center of the front row and greeted him hurriedly with his eyes.

When the camera scanned over, he quickly raised his left hand to his cheek and smiled:
"Do Hwan appeared in the waiting room~ Today's waiting room is with a candidate."

The two stepped aside, revealing the seven members of BTS wearing their stage costumes. They bowed in unison and said the introduction slogan that all idol groups have:

"2! 3! BTS! Hello everyone, we are BTS!"

When Kang Do-hwan was standing aside and heard the captain Kim Nam-joon say that this was the first time they got a substitute position on "Music Bank" since their debut, surprise appeared in his eyes.

You know, he made a point to learn about this group. They debuted in 2013, but they only got their first first place candidate on "Music Bank" in 2015 - the competition among idol groups is really fierce.

After Kim Namjoon finished his speech, Jiang Zhaohuan raised the microphone in his hand and said with a smile:
"I heard that BTS showed off their acting skills in the MV for 'I NEED U'. Can you show us your youthful expressions?"

Jiang Zhaohuan couldn't help but smile secretly as his expression changed from angry, sad to happy.

Their expressions can no longer be called expressions. They are so exaggerated that they will be captured crazily by the audience in front of the screen.

But even so, when the camera swept over, actor Jiang Zhaohuan quickly stopped smiling and gave a somewhat reluctant compliment:
"Ah~ That's really cool. So what did you prepare for the covenant?"

"If we win first place, we will swap the rapper line and vocal line parts!"

Jung Hoseok was also a complete comedian. The line he sang with a deliberately hoarse voice successfully made Bae Joo-hyun laugh, and was also successfully captured by the cameraman.

After finishing the interview, Kang Do Hwan did not forget to cheer for BTS.

Little did he know that when the identity of the winner was finally revealed, Kim Taehyung pressed down on his shoulder as he was about to leave work.

He looked at Kim Taehyung with some doubts, and asked in a low voice:
"Vxi, what are you doing?"

"Senior Dohwan, will you come with us?"

Kim Taehyung didn't give Kang Do Hwan any chance to refuse. He winked at Jeon Jungkook and Park Jimin next to him, and handed the microphone in his hand directly to Kang Do Hwan's mouth, indicating that he should sing.

The fans below couldn't help but scream when they saw this scene. The interaction between these handsome guys is naturally fun to watch.

Jiang Zhaohuan looked at the members of BTS helplessly, took the microphone and sang:

"Because of you/My life is ruined/I want to end it all/Please go away/I really can't do it/I don't care anymore/Stop making excuses/They don't work for me."

He was very glad that he had listened to "I NEED U" several times, otherwise he would have really failed on the spot.

After singing a paragraph, Jiang Zhaohuan found the right opportunity to escape. When he hurried off the stage, he could still hear an extremely familiar voice from the audience, shouting:

"Ah! Kang Do Hwan! Don't run!"

Damn it, I know without thinking that it was that bastard Gao Zixiang.
