The Malicious Member is Back! – Episode 127
Certainly, even putting aside the tightness of their schedule, ToZe’s live broadcast itself felt somewhat overdue.
This was because of the members, who were busy digesting their packed debut schedules, and the absence of the manager who needed to appropriately coordinate that situation.
[Nb@Bombangbom Chunyong-ah what are you doing? Chunyong-ah did you eat? Chunyong-ah are you sleeping well? Chunyong-ah are you preparing well for your debut…?]
[Nb@Bombangbom Yesterday I analyzed Chunyong’s membership card photo for 3 hours. After realizing the piercing on our kid’s ear isn’t an ear cuff but a real one, I screamed with joy. Even that’s not enough. Please, the behind story of getting his ear pierced, please please.]
[Can you tell us the behind-the-scenes of the mood sampler shoot separately? Will it appear on the reality show??]
[⎿You don’t seem to know. Mun Yunha never releases that kind of behind-the-scenes content. He would make people go crazy by talking about it in his own personal interview like 3 years later.]
[⎿⎿Wtf then I have to wait 3 years to pick up breadcrumbs from their debut album??]
[Trust Bang Yuchan and Go to College @BangbangYourchan Curious about the university days of this man Bang Yuchan… Just compiling the things he briefly mentioned during TATA broadcasts is truly extraordinary, so if he properly opens up, how much would he make people double over with laughter? It’s torturous being so curious.]
[⎿What stories are those? I watched the survival show later so I don’t know well ㅠㅠ]
[⎿⎿He took his practical exam diligently, but the professor asked him why he bothered taking the practical exam since he was getting an F anyway.]
[⎿Crazy That’s truly extraordinary, even more curious.]
[I Like the British Guy @logaaaanUK Since when exactly was Loholil a genius? Wasn’t he born holding a guitar from birth? When can we find out? I want to know what he was thinking while playing guitar looking at the Liverpool docks.]
No matter how much they knew they were busy because of their debut, the fans’ thirst to glimpse the everyday aspects of their idols could only intensify.
They knew a reality program was coming out soon, but that alone wasn’t enough.
As fans, knowing about their idol was never enough, no matter how much they learned.
A spoiler for the spoiler of the upcoming debut album.
An everyday story among everyday stories!
For the fans who had been endlessly waiting for such things, a live video came like rain during a drought?
[Crazy It’s a YouTooz live.]
[Huh You’re suddenly doing a live like this? Sis is at work, you guys.]
[Ran to the restroom to watch ToZe’s live. I’m so failing this lecture for sure.]
[Jaeha Oppa Plz say hello to me today is my birthday♡]
[Siwoo-ya did you eat? Where are you now?]
[Guys give us some spoilers about the album and fandom name ㅠㅠ Is it really Genia?? Huh??]
[Looking for ToZe to recommend me a bias♡♡]
[Ah fck Kim Chunyong move aside a bit so you don’t cover Hwaseong lololol]
[Isn’t the hat Yuchan’s wearing Jaeha’s?? Are they roommates??]
[Loholil’s perm is so cute I’m planning to starve today. Just looking at Lohn makes me full.]
The timing of ToZe’s first live, created by Yu Hobin who boasted that it was ‘safe to trust him,’ had to be considered superb.
“Wow, so many people are joining. Hello, hello!”
“Jesus, isn’t everyone at school or work right now? It’s a weekday today.”
“Uh, the chat is so… so, so many messages coming in.”
“Whoa, we didn’t even announce it separately. Thank you, everyone! Ah, food? We all ate earlier!”
“…
Haha.”Seeing ToZe surprised by the firepower that was on a different level from the
And naturally, banning problematic chats among the live viewers’ messages was an added bonus, so to speak.
If there was one thing Hobin, who resolved to become ToZe’s manager, had checked while staying up all night yesterday, it was each member’s tendencies and the SNS reactions toward them.
Because that was the most important element in their first session communicating with fans.
“From now on, we’ll be doing our first live from the practice room. If possible, I would prefer Hwaseong-ssi and Lohn-ssi not to look at the chat window. Ah, Siwoo-ssi too.”
“Ah… yes.”
“Eh, why? Is there a reason not to? I think the fans would like it more if we watch that and talk!”
“That’s what I’m saying. We’re ready. Really.”
“That’s because Hwaseong, you and Lohn make the atmosphere good. If dead silence keeps flowing during a live, it’s a bit awkward, you know. I’ll check the chats.”
“Mmm, if Yongyong hyung says so….”
“Hwaseong-ah, the fans are asking how many times you’ve bleached your hair?”
“Ah, they’re asking another important thing. This is the 4th time! I think I’ll probably keep doing it, uh. If I do another color, it would change again, right?”
“Haha, they say they hope your hair grows out blonde. I guess it means blonde suits you well.”
“Of course, I suit it much better than Lohn, yes.”
“Mate, how can that be? If I actually did it, I’d look good too!”
“I’m also planning to suit a perm just as much as Lohn, you know? Babo.” [The same-age chemistry is insane look at them squabbling]
[Um? Honestly, that kind of talk is a bit lololol Why say who suits it and who doesn’t in such a greasy way ; ]
[Does someone who finds that greasy not have friends? It’s because they’re close, tsk tsk]
[Fight like that forever. I’m going to keep rolling back the recording forever until the story about Lohn and Hwaseong being roommates comes out.]
[Are they really friends who met on a survival show? My heart genuinely swells with emotion. They seem like they were born teasing each other from birth.]
Make the members who seemed like they would pay a lot of attention to comments or chat reactions unable to see them from the start.
“Ah, and next to Siwoo-ssi, it would be good if Jaeha-ssi sits, I think. Chunyong-ssi too.”
“Huh? Even the seat… is important?”
“Yes, because this is the first time. You can sit however you like from next time onwards.”
“Siwoo, should I bring something for you to eat, like yanggaeng? It should be okay to eat things like that in between.”
“Ah, Chunyong hyung. That would be too good for me….”
“Siwoo-ya. Want to eat this? You only ate a little earlier.”
“Ah, thank you, Chunyong hyung….”
“I’ll open it for you. Wait just a moment.”
“Ah, Siwoo-ya. Can you look this way for a bit? There’s hair on your face….” [No but is Jang Siwoo a baby chick or what He eats everything Chunyong gives him ㅠㅠㅠ]
[Please the hands-on-hyungs touched maknae please this is it]
[Jaeha Oppa Plz say hello to me today is my birthday♡]
[Please ban the foreign fan crying to say happy birthday in this heartwarming situation please really]
[Can’t take it anymore Siwoo looks like my son. This seems like a childcare recommendation live.]
For the beloved youngest, arrange a seat that could fulfill exactly that part.
“Please refrain from album spoilers as much as possible, but a slight nuance level is okay.”
“Heuh… That’s a bit difficult. How much is okay, and how much isn’t?”
“You’ll know everything when the time comes, Yuchan hyung. Don’t worry.”
“Ah, shall we read the chat once? Uh, they’re asking what our debut showcase outfit is? Uh, probably like you’ve seen before….”
“―Isn’t our MV teaser coming out this evening? Haha, I think you can infer from there.”
“Ah ah, yes! That’s right. Haha, because the teaser goes up later. Uh… and if you look at our membership card photos, yes. You know, right?” [Hey they told us everything. 100% the showcase outfit is Boy Scout uniform.]
[OMG I wanna go there (cry) (cry)]
[I think I’m going crazy I think I’m going crazy I think I’m going crazy. Just imagining Lohn in a Boy Scout uniform makes me think I’m going crazy.]
To the point where Mun Yunha, trying to impose a gag order, wouldn’t clutch the back of his neck, very naturally satisfy the fans’ desires.
“Mmm, right. I think our reality show teaser will be released first before the MV teaser goes up. Haha, you waited a long time, right? We wanted to tell you sooner too….”
“Heok, Jaeha-ya. Can we say that?”
“Hey. It’s just a teaser anyway, what’s the big deal. Genia have been waiting really, really long, right? Then we should at least tell you this much.”
“Wait, Chunyong-ah. While saying that, you slipped in something even more important?!”
“Huh, did I? I don’t think so?”
Was it thanks to such thorough management, the members’ sense that burst out moment to moment, and the very appropriate timing of a dull weekday afternoon?[Real-time Trends

The reaction to ToZe’s first live was so great it didn’t even need to be explained in words.
It had barely been 30 minutes since the live started.
Right after the live ended, the reality teaser would be released, then an hour later, the music video teaser and the remaining concept photos would be revealed.‘Good. The progression is going perfectly. I should have done this sooner. …If only I hadn’t been indecisive.’Just as Yu Hobin was thinking, ‘Indeed, even if it was a bit burdensome, doing the live today was the right choice,’ and was about to clench his fist with self-reproach for the flawless progression unlike any other time.
“…
Ah.”
For a moment, a problem that made him sigh arose.[How many times do you have to be told Kim Chunyong don't cover Hwaseong? Does the banned person think they can't come back in lololol]
[Hey Manager-nim if you're watching don't just ban, tell the kids directly. Stop butting in and covering the member ;; ]
[Ah seriously Why is the member being treated like this? I'm getting pissed off.]
It was one problematic fan of Ji Hwaseong, who had already been permanently banned once earlier yet came back in again.
“Mmm….”
Even as he quickly banned that account again, subtle worry clouded Yu Hobin’s eyes.
Currently, the members checking comments and chats during ToZe’s live were the hyung line consisting of Kim Chunyong, Son Jaeha, and Bang Yuchan.
Since they showed calmer demeanors compared to the other members, he had entrusted that part to them, but naturally he couldn’t help but be concerned.
They were still kids just past twenty, after all.
Especially right now, Yu Hobin thought Kim Chunyong had just experienced a pretty unpleasant matter only yesterday.
“Hey, Chunyong-ssi. If, by any chance, you’re worried or something because of that Jo Taeuk… ssi, I will also accompany you when you visit his house personally.”
“Huh? Ah, it’s okay! Just for something like that. Haha, you don’t need to worry too much, Hobin hyung.”‘He was calm. Like someone who’s experienced that kind of thing a lot. …It must be the first time, he’s probably doing it out of consideration for me.’Dumbfounded as he recalled Chunyong’s detached reaction, Hobin thought about ending the live a bit earlier if necessary, and didn’t let his guard down.
It was a live started for ToZe to do well, not with the intention of making them get hurt for nothing.
However.
“Ah, wait! Talking about rooms, there’s something that came to mind for a moment? Yongyong hyung. Hyung, do you remember too?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“That, you know!”
Hobin’s such worries were, unexpectedly, about to be easily resolved.
“―Yongyong hyung and I shared a room, right, yes?”
Because of Ji Hwaseong’s talk, as he suddenly rushed clinging to Kim Chunyong.
