[Quick Silbi Kimchi appears lmaooooo]
[The incredible use of Quick Silbi's ability. Shivers.]
At least within Korea.
It was always a hot topic.
Debonaire was already in that position.
[Kim Jisu playing thief-catcher and using her ability to swap in a Joker]
[The shared "live only for today" philosophy of the Debonaire members]
[Naeun just wanting to clock out already TT]
[(Insight) Lee Dohui's figure vaguely revealed during Indian bap. Whoa.]
Debonaire's self-content spread, spotlighted from various angles.
In particular, the last promotion cycle was a season where Dohui—who could only be described as Debonaire's core member—was garnering more attention than anyone else in Korea.
From speaking French at the Chanel show.
To the dramatic stage performance presented at year-end.
To her mature acceptance speech at an awards ceremony.
And even the title of producer, having conceived and produced an unprecedented and groundbreaking album on her own.
Not to mention the countless other things that had become topics of conversation in various ways.
It was to a degree that could not dare be summed up by the term "Dohui fever."
People's curiosity and interest had reached and surpassed their peak.
—Isn't Lee Dohui going to appear on any solo variety shows this time??
—She was good at talking, why isn't she appearing?
However, even when Dohui did appear on variety shows, she only went out as a group and only engaged in formal conversation, never sharing any personal anecdotes.
Thanks to that, there were still countless ordinary people coming in, curious about Dohui's usual personality and appearance.
—Where is the cardigan Lee Dohui wore in Debonaire's self-content from? She wore it so casually but it's seriously so pretty.
—Wow, what's with Lee Dohui's figure?? With her clothes fitting so tight, it's insane. Has she always been like that? Is it an optical illusion? Padding?
└She's always had a good figure, but her chest being *that* big is overkill lol. I bet it's a hundred percent an optical illusion.
—Her eye smile is seriously so charming lol. Every time Lee Dohui laughs, I can't help but laugh along hahaha.
In other words, it was a revolving door.
Dohui was in charge of getting people into the fandom.
—Seeing the Debonaire members like this, their personalities are all so likeable haha.
—I thought they'd be aloof, but they're such a rowdy bunch.
—Ua's expression during the Indian bap game is hilarious hahaha.
But from there, who would become their bias was anyone's guess.
Of course, there were clearly countless fans who remained with Dohui as their fixed bias.
—These days my eyes keep going to Ua.
—Naeun really gives off such an elegant and sophisticated vibe...
These were people who already had a basic affinity for the members thanks to the quality of their songs and albums, as well as the group's image.
—Why is Naeun so pretty these days?
└Must be an old person's taste.
└Y-you little brat.
└Our Naeun is barely twenty-four years old, y-you...
└Just kidding lol. Did I touch a nerve? lol.
If there was a member who struck a chord with their personal taste, it was a structure where their bias could easily switch and they'd re-enter the fandom.
[I'm a newbie who fell for Chiyo after watching this self-content and joined the fanclub haha. My second bias is Dohui!] -KimchiSsusineunDohui
[Do you happen to know when Debonaire's first concert or first fan meeting will be?] -SilbiBoheomdeunJisu
Therefore, a content plan where one member led the subject throughout the entire shoot was extremely effective, both in terms of timing and strategy, for solidifying Debonaire's core fandom.
And the self-content to be released today was an avatar blind date led by Ua, following Chiyo.
A table with clean, modern flower pots on it.
A reserved woman and a woman who could not be more different sat facing each other.
[Ua: We're sick of seeing each other anyway, right?]
And in a separately prepared private room, Ua picked up a walkie-talkie.
[Ua: Let's just diss the person in front of us.]
[Naeun: U-Ua? No matter how you look at it...]
[Ua: Diss.]
[Chiyo: Old.]
[Naeun: ...What?]
As expected, it was very strange right from the preview.
[Naeun: Hey!! I'm still twenty-four years old!? There's only a three-year gap between you and me. Huh? I said there's only a three-year difference!]
[Chiyo: Pfft.]
* * *
Everyone tends to think there are flaws in their personality.
Except Dohui.
The flaw Ua thought she had was this.
Secretly piling up negative emotions in a corner of her heart.
—Huh? Was she? So what are we eating for dinner tonight?
It was the complete opposite of Dohui, who would forget things without a single lingering grudge unless it was something worth getting angry about on the spot, no matter what happened.
Ua watched the members preparing for filming and recalled nostalgic memories of her trainee days.
'Come to think of it, I don't think I was like this when I was young.'
As was the case with every agency, power struggles were inevitable, even if subtle, since young trainees with underdeveloped social skills gathered together.
"Seoyun-ssi, my mic."
Still, the days Ua remembered were truly enjoyable.
"Why are you looking for your mic from me?"
"But you took care of me yesterday, so why are you acting prickly again~."
At least, next to Dohui, there was none of that. It probably wasn't just her, either.
'Even now, having her next to me is so reassuring and comfortable.'
However, after failing the audition, there was simply no way to express externally the endless stress born from the anxiety of what if her debut fell through.
The habit of only bottling things up came naturally, and she still couldn't completely shake it even now, after debuting.
'So did my personality change a bit?'
Her current act of pretending to be cool might be a defense mechanism.
Or rather, she sometimes thought that must be it.
But the reason Chiyo could become Ua's best friend was also thanks to that side of her.
'If Chiyo weren't here, the stress would've piled up even more.'
Because Chiyo's personality—playful as she was, yet impossible for others to hate—relieved Ua's pent-up emotions on her behalf.
—Chiyo, let's rough Dohui up a little today.
—Can't. Dohui will get annoyed again.
—No~ Dohui actually enjoys it?
—Huh? Is that for real?
—Of course! How much does Dohui love sports?
—So this girl was hiding her true feelings?! Deploy!
—Deploying~
But if the target of Chiyo's pranks was herself.
She couldn't relieve it.
That was the case when Ua and Chiyo occasionally fought.
'Still, we always make up.'
That was Ua's current state.
She had to relieve her own stress.
Above all, she couldn't leave it to Chiyo and settle for vicarious satisfaction forever.
She relied too much on the members.
"Let's try starting with Naeun unnie and Chiyo first."
"Huh? Me and Chiyo? Got it."
And in this self-content, she could get cooperation for anything under the name of self-content. Legally.
'I just have to be funny, right?'
* * *
Even before it officially began, laughing comments filled the chat.
—Didn't they say Ua is really a bit crazy deep down hahaha.
The preliminary rules laid down by Ua.
[Ua: The survivors can go on another blind date with each other.]
[Seoyun: Is that really a good thing?]
[Dohui: Wait, so who advances? Someone the other person chooses?]
[Ua: No? Someone I think would be fun.]
[Naeun: ...(speechless)]
[Chiyo: What does the winner get?]
[Ua: A date with me?]
[Chiyo: (disappointed)]
[Ua: Don't give me those triangle eyes.]
Nevertheless, the blind date begins.
Because this self-content was like that.
It blindly followed the members' opinions.
And as in the preview, Naeun was one-sidedly teased by Chiyo, her face turning red.
[Chiyo: lol]
—Naeun, a 24-year-old noona TT.
—She's so old she took one hit and got carried off TT.
[Naeun: H-how could you diss a member like that...]
[Chiyo: Old? Tease?]
[Naeun: Hey!! Y-you!]
—This is the magnanimity of a 24-year-old leader TT.
—Jisu, you're crazy lololol.
—Most of the people commenting are probably older than Naeun;;
In the command control room, Ua pressed the walkie-talkie.
It was an avatar blind date anyway.
All Ua had to do was speak for them.
[Ua: Please say, "You cried your eyes out after parting with your mom when you were twenty."]
[Chiyo: You cried your eyes out after parting with your mom when you were twenty.]
[Naeun: Huh?]
[Chiyo: But did you cry too?]
[Ua: Ah, that was the other walkie-talkie.]
—lololol what's going on.
—Jisu-ya hahaha.
Ua began speaking into the walkie-talkies alternately.
[Naeun: You brag about having good rhythm and all, but honestly, I don't get it when I see you splitting beats while dancing.]
[Chiyo: W-what?]
[Chiyo: Honestly, the kimchi fried rice you sometimes make for us is a bit lacking. You cut out the sugar and soy sauce saying you're looking after the members' health. The taste is iffy. The members are just pretending to enjoy it.]
[Naeun: ...This is Chiyo talking, right? I-It's not Ua, right?]
[Chiyo: Still, the kimchi jjim is honestly better than delivery food. Is it because Seoyun unnie's kimchi is so good?]
—Jisu and Ua are saying everything they want to say through the members' faces lololol.
—lololol why is Ua going on a rampage.
—Isn't this a bamboo forest rather than an avatar blind date?
—What does Mother-in-law's kimchi taste like?
—Ah, I want to marry Naeun. I bet we'd be happily ever after forever...
—Why does Chiyo say everything she's told to lololol.
That round didn't last long.
Because Naeun soon hung her head and hugged her knees.
[Naeun: ...I-I give up. I don't want to do this.]
[Ua: I'll have Naeun unnie move up to the next tournament.]
[Chiyo: Oh!]
[Naeun: ......]
Next up were obviously the remaining two.
The historic duo, Doseoz.
In a lush garden, a woman wearing fluttering clothes appeared, tilting her wide-brimmed spring hat, her face flushed with excitement.
[Seoyun: Ah.]
The seemingly indifferent, monochromatic, French-styled woman who had arrived early and was savoring a cup of tea also rose from her seat.
[Dohui: Ah!]
Their eyes met, intertwining refreshingly.
—They both dressed up properly lololol.
—What's with this atmosphere, oh my oh my.
[Ua: Still, this side feels like a first meeting. Shall we try greeting each other politely?]
[Dohui: Well, it looks like today's gonna be rough.]
[Ua: Seoyun-ssi, it's fine. Still, let's greet politely.]
[Seoyun: Haha, is that because you look fierce?]
[Ua: Excuse me. This program is mine.]
