There existed fans who were as busy as the members of SAVEN themselves. They were the fansite masters who followed almost every schedule.
But today, Dohee’s fansite master had not once stepped out of the house.
-Those fans are so pitiful lol She’s probably playing house with her boyfriend right nowㅠㅠ
└I’m taking a screenshot of this comment and sending it to TopEast
└Yeah (no subject) lol Did that hit a nerve lol?
The fansite master gulped down water as if in frustration.
“Seriously, why do I live like this?”
Even after Dohee’s dating scandal had fallen apart once it was revealed to be an absurd rumor.
Even after TopEast released a statement saying they would sue the spreader of false information who had created the edited photo.
The malicious commenters remained the same.
Especially over the past week, when they had been particularly severe.
The fansite master let out a sigh and opened Watermelon.
ㅡDaily Chart
ㅡ 1【SAVEN - Eum (Melody)】
▲ 2【CoralBlue - Troika】
“It’s probably because of this, right?”
CoralBlue’s new song “Troika,” released four days ago.
As expected of CoralBlue, it was a hip-hop track that preserved their own unique mood while also having enough mass appeal to earn that very reaction, and with its 24-hour listener count currently surpassing 500,000, its chart ranking was rising rapidly.
Of course, since SAVEN’s song had been released a week earlier and its cumulative listener count was still overwhelmingly higher, it was maintaining first place for now, but sooner or later, it was bound to lose the top spot at least once.
“A later comeback is advantageous for chart rankings, after all.”
If one wanted to judge the performance of the song itself, they would have to check the chart rankings at least a month from now.
“So for this next month, they’re basically tied for first place…”
CoralBlue’s toxic fans seemed unable to accept that fact. If SAVEN’s song had been bad, they wouldn’t even be reacting like this. This reaction was coming precisely because the song was good.
“Sigh… Seriously, those vicious ones…”
Dohee’s fansite master clutched her throbbing head and turned on the TV. She had to watch episode 3 of SAVEN’s reality variety show live, no matter what.
She recalled episode 2, which had aired the previous week.
“Last time it was the music video behind-the-scenes and mission games. This time, they’ll give the girls a proper vacation, right?”
And just then, the intro music began to play.
The members, wandering around London and taking pictures, unfolded across the screen like a panorama.
And even in the split second the members flashed past, Dohee’s fansite master caught sight of Dohee.
Her earlier irritation vanished without a trace, and a smile spread across her lips on its own.
“Holy crap… What is with Dohee’s casual outfit…”
A sky-blue short-sleeved T-shirt covered in sporty logos and white short shorts.
Clothes that boldly showed the lines of her body.
“I have to save this, no matter what…!”
As the thought of cropping and retouching that scene filled her head, episode 3 began.
Captions appeared on the screen.
The members were gathered together, receiving mission papers from the PD.
[Hana: Is this for real!?]
[Yeeun: Free travel!]
The mission paper Yeeun revealed.
[Harang: We can really do whatever we want without a script?]
[PD: Of course!]
Unlike the PD’s bright tone, the caption appeared in a gloomy font.
[PD: Now then, we’ll distribute your mission funds.]
The PD handed each member the prize money from the missions they had accumulated so far.
While the SAVEN members opened their envelopes and jumped around in delight.
Chaerin alone remained calm.
Chaerin’s envelope looked especially thin.
[Chaerin: Hana unnie, how much did you say 20 pounds was?]
Because Chaerin, who was especially bad at games, had earned only a small amount of mission money.
[Hana: About 30,000 won?]
[Chaerin: Ah, then I can’t really do anything. I’ll just rest at the hotel.]
“Is that allowed?”
As the fansite master wondered, the PD, sure enough, tried to stop her.
[PD: Still, since you’ve come all the way to London, wouldn’t it be better to do at least a little sightseeing…?]
[Chaerin: If I eat one hamburger, it’ll be over anyway.]
[PD: Then if the members pay for you…]
[Chaerin: How much prize money could they have… I’ll just rest. I was feeling a bit tired anyway, so this works out.]
[PD: We’ll give you more… Instead, Chaerin-ssi, please go to one of our recommended travel spots…]
Meanwhile, beside them, Sera was shaking an envelope that was visibly thick.
[Sera: Dohee! Where are you going? I have lots of money!]
With Dohee’s meaningful smile, the screen changed, cheerful background music began to play.
The members, having finished their style-off in casual outfits, appeared on screen.
The members began their London tour in earnest.
[Harang: It’s Young, huh? Totally MZ, isn’t it?]
[Chaerin: I heard they shoot tons of music videos here too.]
The two of them walking down a street filled with graffiti.
[Seoyun: Wow, this is so pretty.]
[Sera: Dohee…]
[Seoyun: What about Dohee? You want us to pick out clothes for her?]
[Sera: Huh…? Should we? Pink clothes!]
The two of them shopping in one of London’s representative busy districts.
[Yeeun: I want to go shopping… I have a lot of money…]
[Hana: We can get to Soho from here in thirty minutes anyway. We’re seeing cultural heritage sites first, okay?]
[Yeeun: Hiiing…]
The two of them touring Westminster’s UNESCO-designated landmarks.
The screen shifted to Dohee’s self-cam.
On screen were Dohee and the minimum number of production staff, two people.
[Camera Director: Dohee, this place is…]
The camera focused on Dohee’s outfit.
A blue short-sleeved uniform T-shirt.
Even she, who knew nothing about soccer, had heard of famous teams like Manchester City.
“Ah, so that was a uniform? Wow.”
And soon after, the screen shifted from the self-cam to the camera director’s cam.
Filling the screen was the exterior of a massive stadium.
And crowds dressed in blue and red uniforms.
Dohee’s fansite master recalled Dohee’s Bubble Q&A answer.
(Q: Dohee, what’s your favorite sport? A: Mm… soccer?)
“Come to think of it, Dohee did say she watched soccer from time to time!”
[Dohee: Wow… I really wanted to watch a soccer match at least once if I came to England! And it’s even the final!]
In contrast to Dohee on screen, who was flushed red and looked especially fresh today.
[Junior Writer: Dohee, so you do have tickets, right…?]
The production staff were asking in worried tones.
[Dohee: Of course. You think I’d only have mine? I expected exactly two more people to be attached to me like this, so I booked three tickets! I did good, right!?]
[Junior Writer: But that must have cost more than your mission prize money…]
Dohee laughed and linked arms with the junior writer.
[Dohee: I can spend my own money! I bought you tickets, so just let it slide~ Hehe.]
“Ah… I’m so jealous of the junior writer…”
After spending several minutes envying the junior writer who was receiving Dohee’s aegyo.
The fansite master’s eyes widened at Dohee on screen.
[Dohee: Wow, I’m losing my mind…]
Understandably so, because Dohee’s round eyes, staring somewhere after entering the stadium, were sparkling.
Her mouth was slightly open, as though she had so much she wanted to say that her excitement might burst out at any moment.
Her lips were curved up just a little, making it look as if she was having a hard time suppressing her smile.
[Dohee: Why is he so handsome…?]
And in the end, even her face turned slightly red.
“Handsome… what?”
Dohee’s fansite master knew very well.
That when Dohee was asked about her ideal type at fansign events, she had never once given a clear answer.
More than anything, Dohee had always seemed uninterested in the opposite sex.
So the word “handsome” coming out of Dohee’s mouth felt extremely unfamiliar.
[Dohee: Camera director-nim, you know who that is, right!?]
[Camera Director: Hm? Ah, on the electronic board?]
[Dohee: Yes, now, now!]
[Camera Director: Of course. Haaland.]
[Dohee: Wow, isn’t he seriously cool…? I feel like my heart’s going to explode and I’ll die…]
“That much…?”
Because broadcasting the field was prohibited due to broadcast rights, the face of the soccer player named Haaland, whom the camera director mentioned, did not appear on screen.
The fansite master hurriedly searched the name Haaland.
“How handsome does he have to be for that Dohee to…!”
And then she was horrified.
***
High ratings and buzz.
An unexpected side shown by an idol member and unpretentious reactions.
Since those were the qualities the public loved most, the response could only be explosive.
-Lol it’s so cute that Dohee went to watch soccer by herself. Did she always like soccer?
└At a fansign, she said soccer was her favorite sport! But I didn’t know she liked it enough to wear a uniform and go to a stadium lol
└Ah, I want to see the full video. Just watching her reaction face is cute and fun lol
-(Photo) Ahㅡㅡ Dohee said he was handsome, so I looked him up with crazy expectations, but what is this, Dohee? Unnie is disappointed…
└Lolololol seriously, I looked him up too thinking, if Dohee says he’s handsome, how handsome could he be? But ah… lolololololol Dohee’s eyes are weird…
-Dohee… So even you, who are perfect in every way, have a flaw… My god… But after looking for a while, he does seem kind of cute…
Dohee’s controversy, which had only been smoldering embers thanks to the new topic, completely died down.
Moreover, female viewers also showed favorable reactions to the cute response Dohee had shown, but as expected, reactions related to soccer were even more intense in male-dominated communities.

Dohee was constantly setting the communities on fire.

“Am I seriously a genius?”
To think I’d come up with the idea of using Haaland to relieve the pressure from Baekhwi.
Well, I had ranked first in school every time, won a grand prize in piano, and was a genius idol.
I was definitely a genius.
“Hey.”
And Seoyun unnie was looking at me strangely.
“What. What is it.”
“I’m really not trying to criticize anyone’s looks, but… do you really think that Haaland person is handsome…?”
To Seoyun unnie, who knew nothing about soccer, my words must have been shocking.
This is why people who don’t know soccer are hopeless.
Of course, after running into Baekhwi on the Jeodol filming set, I couldn’t say it hadn’t been a calculated move to cover up any controversy that might arise.
But it was true that I thought Haaland was cool.
Great body, good personality, good at soccer, good at soccer, good at soccer, good at soccer.
And what matters to me isn’t looks.
“Think about it honestly. No matter how handsome a guy is, he can’t be more handsome than me dressed as a man…”
Without even listening to me, Seoyun unnie scratched her head and headed to the shower.
