Especially grueling were the activities during the first week.
Around the time the members were cutting back on sleep to keep up with their music-show schedules, the variety programs Seiven had filmed in advance began to be released one after another.
- Wow, they filmed a lot of variety shows this time. How many trailers are there already?
- Thank you so much for the daily bread ㅠㅠ
- Did you see the Harmony Bridge trailer? Just hearing Sera and Yeeun sing a single line already has me looking forward to it...
└ Seriously, they’re eardrum girlfriends, but how can they even be this gorgeous...?
- Hmm... Kwon Hana and Gong Chaerin. You can tell just from the trailer for “Idols Take Care of Idols” that their childcare skills are extraordinary. Both of them would make wonderful mothers. Good. I hereby approve you two as potential brides.
└ This person really comments consistently.
└ At this point, I think he’s serious...;;
Seiven’s fans grew excited as they watched the pre-released videos and trailers uploaded every other day.
The first variety show to air was a group program on KBC’s YouTube channel.
Following the information posts on the fan community and Seiven’s official café, the fans logged onto the channel at the scheduled time for the YouTube livestream.
-It’s starting!
The broadcast began with the familiar, famous BGM from *Human Theater*.
[• An ominous energy can be felt in this place.]
And then came the equally familiar narration from *Human Theater*.
A caption appeared at the bottom of the video.
The door opened, and Dohee entered the practice room.
Dohee exaggeratedly looked around.
[Dohee: What time is it supposed to be? And no one’s here? These kids are hopeless.]
[• Who might this person be?]
The scene cut to the practice room from another camera angle.
Dohee was sitting on a chair, with Hana clinging to her side and bothering her.
Behind them, the members were sitting on the floor.
A woman’s voice, presumably one of the production staff, could be heard.
[PD: Please introduce yourself one more time.]
[Dohee: Hello. I’m the eldest sister, Lee Dohee, in charge of Seiven’s charisma and leadership!]
-LOL, Dohee’s the leader?
-Looks like they’re having an informal-speech session.
-So they’re practicing a conceptㅋㅋㅋㅋ
At the same time as her answer, the members behind her began jeering.
Amid the chorus of “Booooo,” narration flowed in.
[• The leader’s authority has fallen to the floor.]
The scene cut again to Dohee standing alone in the practice room.
The members opened the door and entered, lining up beside her one after another.
[• The members have finally appeared.]
Pointing at her bare wrist, Dohee acted angry in a theatrical tone straight out of a sitcom.
[Dohee: Do you have any idea what time it is?! Why are you all so late?]
Seoyoon hugged Hana and spoke.
[The sister who cherishes the youngest(?)/Seoyoon: I’m sorry, unnie. I was indulging the maknae’s spoiled behavior. Our ma.knae is being a little disobedient.]
Hana, wearing pigtails, giggled mischievously.
[The cute maknae(?)/Hana: That’s right! I’m totally disobedient!]
-LOL, so Hana’s the maknae during the informal-speech session.
-Hana’s pigtails are freaking adorableㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Seoyoon’s position is hilarious tooㅋㅋㅋ Does she normally not cherish the maknae?
Hearing the two of them, Dohee frowned.
[Dohee: I think you’re all mistaken about something... As far as I know, the maknae is actually very well-behaved, right?]
[Seoyoon: No? The maknae is completely disobedient.]
[Dohee: Are you sure? I’m asking if you’re sure.]
[• A leader who gets angry when the maknae is criticized?]
The screen cut back to an interview scene.
[PD: Is the maknae a troublemaker?]
[Dohee: Hmm... I think that’s been slightly distorted. Actually, the most proper and serious member among us is the maknae.]
Behind her, every member shook her head.
Hana, who was assigned the role of the maknae beside Dohee, shook her head too.
[• Oh, goodness.]
-LOL, it’s freaking hilarious how they all shook their heads at exactly the same timeㅋㅋㅋ
-Hana, why are you shaking your head when you’re playing the maknaeㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The scene returned to the members sitting in a circle in the practice room.
[Dohee: First of all, before we start practicing. I heard the members have had a lot of complaints lately. Your leader unnie will come up with a solution, so let’s take this opportunity to clear everything up before moving on. Who wants to go first?]
Sera promptly raised her hand.
[• Sera must have had a lot of complaints normally.]
[Dohee: What is it?]
[The third member, who has many complaints and much resentment/Sera: I like cute things, but whenever that member tries to hug me, she finds it bothersome, so I hate her.]
[The cute leader/Dohee: Then we’ll go with hating her. Next.]
[• The leader seems to have a cool personality.]
-LOL, Sera must genuinely be hurtㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow, no matter how you look at them, it’s one pretty girl next to another. Seriously.
-Info) Dohee is unexpectedly a cool-headed woman. But she’s cute.
Next, Chaerin raised her hand.
For some reason, it was trembling violently.
[Seiven’s chatterbox/Chaerin: I’d like to speak. There’s quite a lot.]
Several members swallowed nervously.
[Chaerin: First, there’s the one who uses two towels at the dorm and never replaces them. Because of her, I had to dry my body with a hair dryer.]
[Chaerin: There’s also the one who keeps turning the water on and off in another shower while I’m washing, so the water alternates between hot and cold.]
[Chaerin: And the one who sings, dances, and makes a racket at night. Then she sets her alarm volume to maximum and doesn’t even wake up. Should I go on?]
[• Ms. Chaerin’s rapping skills are nothing to scoff at.]
-Chaerin is seriously going all outㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-At this point, I feel bad for Chaerinㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Chaerin is perfect for the suffering-member roleㅋㅋㅋ
-But I can guess who the last one isㅋㅋ
The scene shifted to an interview with Chaerin and Sera sitting on chairs.
As before, the remaining members were sitting on the floor in the background.
[PD: Who is the main culprit?]
[Chaerin: If I had to pick just one... (pointing) That person.]
As Chaerin spoke, the camera zoomed in on Harang and Seoyoon, who were sitting side by side and playing a hand-clapping game.
[Seoyoon: Don’t tell me it’s me?]
The camera followed Chaerin’s gaze.
Her eyes said it wasn’t.
The camera rotated slightly and focused solely on Harang.
[The quietest member/Harang: ......!?]
Harang expressed her indignation through her hands, feet, and body, silently mouthing words.
[Harang: Mmph, mmph...!]
[• Harang may be quiet, but she certainly seems noisy.]
Clapping her hands, Dohee spoke.
[Dohee: Great, now that we’ve resolved all the complaints! We should have some fun too, right?]
Harang nodded and mumbled.
[Harang: Mmph!]
Chaerin tugged at Harang’s lips.
[Chaerin: Can you please be quiet, just for today!]
[• None of the complaints have been resolved.]
[Dohee: Our very own comedian, Yeeun, has prepared a joke. Applause!]
[The second member and supreme source of fun/Yeeun: Uh......?]
This time, the interview scene showed Yeeun, Seoyoon, and Harang, who was still mumbling “mmph, mmph.”
[PD: Is Yeeun a comedian?]
[Seiven’s comedian/Yeeun: Whiiine... PD-nim, I can’t do this...]
[Harang: I can’t do it either! I’m going to talk!]
[• The two briefly broke character.]
The scene returned to everyone sitting in a circle.
[Yeeun: ...Should I try one?]
Yeeun seemed to have made up her mind.
[Yeeun: Which country apologizes most arrogantly in the world?]
[Seoyoon: What is it?]
[Hana: What is it~?]
[Yeeun: It’s none other than... Myan... mar!]
Hana’s eyes grew round.
Her pupils shook.
Meanwhile, one member was clutching her stomach and laughing all by herself.
[Dohee: Euhyk-hak-hah-hah-hah!]
[• The only one who finds it funny.]
-LOL, “Myanmar”ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That’s totally my kind of joke.
-Dohee’s laugh is freaking heartyㅋㅋㅋ
-LOL, I’m thirty... Honestly, Yeeun is funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Grandma is satisfied, Yeeun...
-At this level, it is funny, so whyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The scene shifted to another interview.
[PD: Does Dohee like dad jokes?]
[Dohee: Wasn’t it really funny? I acknowledge this one as fun!]
The members in the background were making X signs with their arms.
[• The members don’t seem to agree.]
Yeeun bashfully tried to lower the X, but the maknae Hana’s strength was too great, and she couldn’t.
The scene returned to everyone sitting in a circle. This time, Yeeun seemed firmly resolved, as though she really meant it.
[Yeeun: I’ll try just one more...!]
And then a caption appeared.
[Yeeun: Do you know what you call it when a cow dies from electrocution?]
Yeeun’s dad jokes continued.
Along with the caption, the members’ anxious gazes flashed by one after another.
[Sera: Pika-chu’woo’...?]
Sera earnestly attempted an answer.
Hana’s eyes widened yet again, as though even that answer had shocked her.
[Yeeun: It’s~ “woo sign bolt.” You know, woo, sign, bolt. Hihihih.]
In the end, Hana opened her mouth in horror.
[Hana: Wow...]
Meanwhile, Dohee laughed as though she were dying.
[Dohee: Hahk-hah-hah-hah.]
[• The other members are the very definition of silence.]
-This is a bit....;;
-To be honest, I laughed my ass offㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-LOL, am I the only one who finds it funny?
-Dohee being the only one laughing is even funnierㅋㅋㅋㅋ
On top of that, Sera was jotting down the dad jokes in a notepad whose origin was unknown, inspired by Dohee’s laughter.
Harang, fully committed to her character, mumbled angrily at Yeeun for performing the dad joke.
Chaerin kept trying to pull Harang’s mouth open, as though all her pent-up resentment had finally burst out.
And Seoyoon, afflicted with a cool-girl complex, watched the whole thing with detached composure.
It was chaos in every sense of the word.
