Episode 42.

Inside the Airplane.
The Production Team handed each member a self-camera, eager to capture how the five would spend their long flight hours.

‘…They really are all so different.’

Seo Baek-young studied an LA travel guide, researching tourist attractions and restaurants to take the members to.
Ryu Bora quietly read a poetry collection gifted by fans.
Kim Geum enthusiastically played on a handheld gaming device, proudly showing off to the camera that she’d cleared a new stage.
Yeon Ju-hong filmed a “What’s in My Airplane Bag” and an airplane skincare beauty vlog.

‘It’s not easy to gather people who are all so different.’

I couldn’t help but smile to myself.
So what was I doing?

“Hello, EVEL. By now, you’ve probably already watched all the other members’ vlogs.”

I was filming my own vlog for the camera.
My concept was simple—

“Our members showed you their uniquely entertaining vlogs, didn’t they? My vlog is, well, ‘Member Observation Entertainment.'”

A StillBlue observation entertainment concept.
There was no helping it.
Unlike my members, I wasn’t particularly distinctive—I was rather ordinary.

“Throughout this trip, I’ll present each member with the same questions and scenarios. Please observe with me how our members react.”

My role was to make my members shine brighter and help them soar higher.

***

StillBlue’s vlog this time is so cute

Hahahaha
I can really feel how different all the members are from each other haha

Love how each of the five members’ vlogs are so distinct
Honestly, never running out of content is really StillBlue’s greatest strength
Why is Yun Chung’s vlog titled like that

I was like “What’s in My StillBlue” and
When I watched it, it turned out to be a member observation variety show hahahaha
Well, StillBlue is Yun Chung’s thing anyway

For real haha
└For real haha
└For real haha
What’s in my StillBlue hahahaha

Ah this is so funny
(Video)
Yun Chung: If you and () fell in the water, what would you save first?

The fact that () is different for each member is hilarious
Seo Baek-young: EVEL
Ryu Bora: Couldn’t even start the question, just said she’d definitely save Yun Chung no matter what and told them not to ask
Kim Geum: Bora
Yeon Ju-hong: Tteokbokki

Members’ answers
Baek-young: What if I just… fall in the water myself and you two save the other two? (Negotiation attempt type)
Bora: Don’t ask, it’s definitely you (Threatening type)
Geum: Huh, Ryu Bora seems like she’d escape on her own anyway, so I’d save Chung-chung (Realistic choice type)
Vermilion Hat: I can’t swim, what should I do!? Should I just fall in love with you? ㅠㅠ (Babu hyung)

Who made our Bora go dark, she’s gotten a bit darker these past few days
└Even when Ryu Bora was getting married off, I feel some anger now for some reason
What’s in my StillBlue tmi hahahaha

Yun Chung asked each member to share one TMI today

Hollie: I wanted to get tickets for my favorite overseas artist who’s coming to the country, but I can’t because of the airplane—forced to miss out lol
Pepe: Lately whenever I get frustrated, I started copying poetry to calm my mind, but I keep gripping the pen too hard out of anger and I’ve apparently snapped 100 mechanical pencil leads
Geum: When I was having a hard time, I confided in AI things that I couldn’t tell the members for fear of them hurting their feelings, and I was surprised that they gave me better counseling than I expected (personally, it’s a point of tears… ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Geum-a bㅠㅠ,,,)
Ju-hong: This morning I spilled some strawberry milk on the clothes Geum lent me, and now I’m agonizing over when to confess the truth

They’re really cute, so cute lol
The more years the members accumulate, the more frustration points pile up… it’s exactly like me^^

***

The accommodation Colors had arranged for StillBlue was an Airbnb—a genuinely charming and ordinary-looking house.
One with a modest yard and an adorable attic.

“Wow!”

The moment Yeon Ju-hong saw the place, she immediately dropped her luggage and bounced through the entire house.

“The house is so cute! And there are five rooms! We can each have our own room!”
“That’s insane.”
“Honestly, I prefer this to a hotel.”

Everyone nodded in agreement with Seo Baek-young’s words.

“Why don’t we build a house like this after we retire and all live together?! With a yard like this and a two-story house and so cute?! I think it would be perfect to live with a dog!”
“On that verdant meadow, we’ll build a house like a painting~”
“And spend a lifetime with the one we love~”

Kim Geum suddenly burst into song, and Yun Chung joined in. Yeon Ju-hong looked completely lost, not knowing what song it was, and the other members giggled at her expression.

“There’s no retirement to speak of. But I agree with building and living in a house like this.”
“Bora unnie keeps saying scary things, Chung-chung….”
“I’m scared too….”

The members each claimed a room on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once they finished unpacking, everyone gathered in the Living Room and settled in.

“We only have four days for this break, so we need to plan carefully. And we need to extract as much content as possible.”

All the members nodded at Yun Chung’s words.
In truth, this schedule was ostensibly a vacation, but with the Production Team and staff all accompanying them to film content, it was difficult to call it a complete break.
Giving StillBlue this vacation during Colors’ busiest and most chaotic period was, in essence, less about granting them time off and more about telling them to clear their heads while producing content.
With such a large group traveling, the budget expended must have been astronomical, so naturally StillBlue couldn’t afford to be completely at ease.
They had to work hard to produce content.
…And in the midst of all this, they still had to find a way to stop Hong President here at Colors’ United States branch.
In other words, they’d been given two missions. In a situation already overwhelming enough with just one.

‘…The only saving grace is that Ju-ha came along.’

I sighed inwardly.
Then.

“Alright, everyone.”

Baek Ju-ha approached the members.

“I got a call from the Company.”

From Colors?
Calls from Colors were never pleasant, so all the members looked up at Baek Ju-ha with tense expressions.

“You were planning to release an unreleased song at Coachella, right?”
“Y-yes, we were…”

Kim Geum spoke desperately while avoiding everyone’s gaze.

“You finished it, didn’t you, Geum? Why are you like this?”
“Well, I’m just… so lacking in confidence…”
“What is this? Kim Geum without confidence is basically a corpse. What’s wrong?”
“The song is great, unnie! You should have confidence! It’s our Geum’s song—it can’t possibly be bad!”
“That’s right. The song is good. Don’t worry.”

The song was already recorded with all the members’ vocals, and only the final polishing stage remained.
Everyone who had heard the song even once had praised it lavishly.
…This lack of confidence was probably due to everything that had happened recently.

“Anyway, the Company is wondering if we should film that song’s music video here.”
“!”
“Since we’ve already come all the way to Los Angeles, we might as well squeeze out every last drop of content while we’re here.”

Baek Ju-ha grinned widely.

“Wait. Our trip is only four days long—can we really film everything in that time? Behind-the-scenes content and a music video?”
“We’ll give it a shot.”

The members’ faces drained of color at Baek Ju-ha’s words.
This wasn’t a vacation at all…!

“Two days for the music video, one day for behind-the-scenes, and one day of free time. How does that sound?”
“But can you really film a music video this spontaneously? The filming locations, the crew, all of that—”

Yun Chung stopped mid-sentence and closed her mouth.

“Don’t tell me. You rented this place specifically for…?”
“Exactly. This will be your music video’s first location.”
“….”
“Don’t worry. We’re going to keep this music video light and easy. Natural vibes, nothing too intense. Just you all being yourselves. Okay?”

So that’s why she’d been so thoughtful about everything.
The members exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
