When Heungmin asked loudly, Woochul nodded without putting down his phone.

“Seems like it!”

[Why Did MyTuber WangDangDang Couple Thank Idol Group MOST?]

Dozens of articles poured in, all thanks to the ‘WangDangDang Couple,’ who had a million subscribers.

*

The members of MOST only realized their performance from a few hours ago was trending online when they sat down to eat dinner at a restaurant.

It was bewildering.

Dojae felt the same.

He had thought the news might spread through word of mouth since they took photos, but he hadn’t expected the performance itself to remain a secret—they had kept it quiet just to avoid a large crowd.

‘Even if you wear fine clothes, you layer them with patched ones. There’s no need to brag about doing good, but it wasn’t exactly a secret.’

But he never thought it would become such a huge topic so quickly, especially since it wasn’t a massive donation or anything like that.

‘Most of the articles seem to be because of the WangDangDang Couple…. What an unusual name. Are they Chinese?’

Dojae turned to Woochul and asked,

“Are the WangDangDang Couple that famous?”

“Oh my gosh, hyung. You don’t know the WangDangDang Couple? They’re MyTubers! They have a million subscribers. Don’t you watch MyTube?”

“I only watch other channels….”

Dojae only subscribed to music, educational, and knowledge-related channels.

“Ah, then you don’t know Dangyi either? Here!”

“He is so cute!”

“Louis, you like him too. He’s really adorable. His full name is Wang DangDang. The channel name is WangDangDang Couple because they own him.”

Dojae focused on the phone screen Woochul held out.

In the thumbnail Woochul showed, an unusually large Bichon was smiling.

“Oh, this dog…. I saw him in recommended videos.”

“Right? He’s famous for being huge and smart, almost like a person.”

Heungmin chimed in at Woochul’s words.

“Woochul, you also saw the video where he opens the front door and goes out to the yard, right? It seems fake, like a person in a dog costume, but it’s not…. It’s amazing.”

“That video was epic.”

“It’s a shame we haven’t seen much of him lately. I hope he’s doing well. Dangyi….”

Heungmin smacked his lips in disappointment.

Even though it wasn’t his own dog, he felt quite attached to it after watching the videos on MyTube every day.

“I find the couple’s daily life more hilarious than the dog.”

“Oh, they’re a riot. That might be part of why they got so famous.”

Kyuseong joined Heungmin in discussing the videos.

Having satisfied his initial curiosity, Dojae searched for WangDangDang Couple in the search bar.

…Dojae had to scroll down for a while before he finally found the story mentioned in the title.

‘This person needs to find a new writing teacher.’

Dojae critiqued coldly, his expression displeased.

Anyway, here’s the summary of the content.

The WangDangDang Couple were MyTubers with nearly a million subscribers, known for their short, humorous videos featuring their dog and daily life. However, they stopped uploading videos 100 days ago.

Their three-year-old daughter had been hospitalized after a traffic accident, and they wanted to focus entirely on her care until she was discharged.

That’s why they happened to see Kyuseong and Dojae’s performance at the hospital.

Immediately after the performance, they went live to update their followers.

The members watched the saved live video.

Even without sound, subtitles allowed them to follow everything.

―Hello, DangDang family. It’s been a long time.

―How have you all been?

―We turned on the broadcast today because we thought we should update you on our situation.

Despite having many supporters sympathizing with their plight, there were also many questions as it had been over 100 days since their last update.

People were worried and curious about how the family was doing.

There were even low-quality comments suggesting one of them should be uploading videos to make money while the other took care of the child.

―Our daughter is much better now. She’s still in a cast and has some wounds to heal, but she’s healthy otherwise.

―We have a caregiver, and we’re taking turns caring for her, so WangDangDang is also getting his walks and doing well.

―We turned on the video today because we received an unexpected gift and wanted to express our thanks.

―A group called MOST performed at the hospital.

―Last year was so hectic that we didn’t know who they were, but they’re a popular idol group, right? According to the comments, many of you know them well.

―We were surprised that idols would volunteer at a hospital and touched by their dedication.

―Our daughter loved it, and it was very comforting for us too. Their singing was that good.

―They had clearly prepared a lot. It was a truly moving performance!

―Watching it made me think a lot. Many people say they heal by watching our videos. I think this is how they must feel.

“So, my daughter has mostly recovered now, which is why we’ve decided to start uploading videos again. Is it a bit sudden?”

“We want to give strength to those who were waiting for us, those who found strength in our videos. Just like we did.”

“Exactly. Even busy idols find the time to live meaningfully!”

“Right!”

The couple laughed playfully.

They mentioned that they discovered MOST’s music through today’s performance, showed proof of purchasing the song [I Am Different], and humorously asked to be called BEST, as new fans of MOST.

“We’ll see you soon with new WangDangDang videos!”

“Wow, that’s amazing. We can watch WangDangDang videos again?”

“Yeah, and it’s all thanks to Dojae and Kyuseong!”

After watching the video.

Woochul and Heungmin murmured in amazement.

“Wait a minute. If I knew they were there, I should’ve asked for an autograph!”

“Isn’t it a bit much to ask for an autograph from someone whose kid is sick?”

“Is it? Anyway, having our favorite MyTuber as our fan is like hitting the jackpot. You guys did an amazing job!”

Kyuseong smiled lightly at Woochul’s words.

It felt different from when the senior artist Park Sora mentioned MOST on the radio before.

Though it carried more meaning this time, it was clear that being mentioned by a top MyTuber had a significant impact.

“This was a meaningful performance in many ways.”

It was truly meaningful that someone decided to return to their normal life after being comforted by their performance, even if they weren’t a famous MyTuber.

Dojae concluded this thought and smiled at Kyuseong.

Above all, it was good that they successfully achieved the original goal of ‘finding meaning for Kyuseong.’

At that moment, their ordered pork stir-fry arrived.

They were at a local diner in front of their accommodation for the first time in a while.

“You’ve done great things today. I’ve made extra food, so eat up!”

“Wow. Even you knew?”

“Of course. I read all the news on the internet.”

“Amazing! We love you! I love you!”

The members excitedly picked up their chopsticks.

The news of the idol group’s good deeds and the popular MyTuber’s return topped the real-time search rankings throughout the day.

As a result, there were media outlets wanting to interview MOST.

However, this was already more attention than expected.

Too much exposure wasn’t good.

Kingdom didn’t release any additional interviews or articles.

Meanwhile, the members’ short vacation came to an end.

“Here are the results.”

Manager Seokchul handed out the health check results to the members gathered in the meeting room.

Fortunately, none of the members had any serious health issues.

The worst was a mild case of gastritis.

Mental health assessments showed their stress levels were relatively low for their profession.

Kyuseong’s condition was improved thanks to additional counseling after the performance.

“We will continue to monitor you regularly, but please report any issues immediately.”

“Yes, we will.”

Dojae replied on behalf of everyone, and Manager Seokchul nodded.

In fact, Dojae’s physical and mental health was so perfect that it seemed he didn’t even need to be included in the health check.

His blood pressure and pulse were ideal.

Of course, this was under the assumption that he wasn’t aware that Korean Empire’s Lee Dojae occasionally suffered from stress-induced gastritis and took medication.

Manager Seokchul brought the members, who were casually chatting while reviewing the results, back to focus.

“You all know we start preparing for the next album today, right?”

“Yes!”

“Yeah…”

Louis and Woochul had contrasting reactions.

Louis, who had rested for fifteen days, was eager to get back on stage.

Woochul also wanted to perform but dreaded the intense practice required for album preparation.

“Once all the songs are decided in two weeks, we’ll start recording one by one. For now, follow the schedule for lessons and practice.”

The schedule Manager Seokchul handed out was packed, just as Woochul had feared.

It included various language classes and health training, basic dance lessons, and vocal training, considering their future overseas activities.

Since they hadn’t started recording or shooting schedules yet, they didn’t have to sacrifice sleep.

“I wonder when the title song will be ready.”

Dojae muttered to himself while looking at the schedule.

Everyone’s attention turned to Dojae, including Manager Seokchul’s.

The meeting room fell silent, partly because Dojae had a naturally commanding voice.

“Oh…”

Dojae felt he had made a mistake under the scrutiny of everyone, especially while looking at Kijoon.

Following the success of their debut album, MOST decided to continue creating albums with high member participation, centered around Kijoon.

Therefore, Director Lee Jungyeop and Kijoon were working on the title track for this album.

Dojae was genuinely curious and excited about the title track.

He didn’t intend to burden Kijoon, who had been tirelessly working in his room and the company’s studio during both active and vacation periods.

“And starting today, we will begin filming the reality show we mentioned. Don’t be alarmed by the cameras installed in the dorm.”

Manager Seokchul’s continued explanation diverted everyone’s attention again.

“There aren’t cameras in the bathroom, right? That would be a bit shy.”

“Of course, your privacy will be protected. Assistant Manager Lee Jungyeon will explain the filming details at the dorm later.”

Louis’ quirky question was met with a businesslike response from Manager Seokchul.

With that, the brief orientation on future plans concluded.

The members left the meeting room, waving the papers they had received.

At that moment, Kijoon called out to Dojae.

“Dojae, can I talk to you for a moment?”
