The Gate Burst Open on My Debut Day (109)
[[HOT] What’s with the triplets on Mom and Dad, Have a Good Day today?
These aren’t the triplets I knew.
Where did the legendary Cerberus go—the ones who’ve frustrated every guest that’s appeared so far?
└What’s Cerberus?
└It’s the triplets’ nickname lol. First, second, third in order: Cer, be, rus
└I only watched today’s broadcast because Guild was on, but aren’t they usually well-behaved kids? They seemed kind and obedient
└Absolutely not… ㅠㅠ What episode was it? I appeared about twice, and I felt really sorry for the guests who appeared that time… Kids don’t treat people like people.
└If they don’t treat them like people, what do they treat them as…?
└Toys…?
└lmao toys lololol
└In front of Sung-i and Theo they were completely docile lol what’s the difference?
└Are you seriously asking? Obviously it’s their faces lololol. Don’t you know those kids just naturally brighten up more? lol
└Our Cerberus kept saying “Big brother’s so cool~” “Oppa’s so handsome~” lol I guess they really liked them]
[[HOT] The triplets’ parents’ reaction lololol
Seriously hilarious
Um, these don’t seem like our kids?
└I thought it was really funny when my dad seriously asked me if I wanted to take the kids.
└Honey, listen—it’s all for the children’s happiness. They like such handsome people… but we’re adults. We should know when to give up
└Honey, why don’t we just adopt those two instead? You two, would you like to call us mom?
└They memorized that so fast lololol
It’s not like he’s even trying to be funny lol, he’s just lost his mind and spouting complete nonsense and it’s absolutely hilarious lmaooo
[Today’s Mom and Dad, Have a Good Day Summary
Triplets’ Parents: We need to raise them
Yoo Sung and Han Theo: *face click* lololol
RT1294 ♥2017]
└Ah this is hilarious lololol
└Struggling with parenting? Well… have you considered whether your faces are actually unattractive?
└Parents nationwide in tears lololol
Mom and Dad, Have a Good Day went in a slightly different direction than I’d envisioned, but purely as entertainment, it was genuinely fun.
The triplets’ 180-degree shift in attitude in front of Yoo Sung and Han Theo was especially hilarious.
Less than a day after the broadcast ended, a Shorts video titled “The Shocking Truth of the Triplets Risen from Hell” surpassed a million views.
Following Kim Min-ha’s Live Club came Mom and Dad, Have a Good Day.
Just as variety shows were riding a good wave, the final variety show, Necessity is the Mother of Invention, aired.
[[NEW] When exactly was Necessity is the Mother of Invention made?
Real variety formats like that went out of style ages ago, seriously the company’s going under;;>
└It’s a bit sad that I just invited her as a face-to-face lady, but it’s too obvious ㅠㅠ
└ㅇㅈ If this is going to happen, just get out of bed ㅠㅠ
└Still going on about Let’s Eat Well and Live Well? I’m sick of it;;]
[Oh wow, even pro athletes recognize Kang Hae-soo
How well must she have performed for people to still talk about her over a year after she quit?
RT214 ♥561]
└Hey, this is serious. Delete this quick;;
└Why? Did I say something wrong?
└Honestly, truly. Every time we see our Hae-soo, my heart burns with a thousand flames… Among people who love Korean baseball, there’s no one who doesn’t know Kang Hae-soo. He has everything they say only exists in the majors—control, velocity, stuff—all of it. He’s a left-handed pitcher with it all. Not an idol. He should be a baseball player… Baseball fans all know this. Kang Hae-soo… Hae-soo… it’s not too late even now. Come back to the mound… There are plenty of spots waiting… We keep trying to give up on supporting your dream, but it’s not easy… In my dreams, I see you throwing the ball… I can’t take it anymore either… Please, think of it as saving one person… Come back…
└What? Who are you, mister???
└That’s why I told you to delete it quick;;
Necessity is the Mother of Invention received noticeably worse reactions compared to the other two variety shows.
If I hadn’t possessed the precognition trait, I wouldn’t have even glanced at Necessity is the Mother of Invention.
But precognition judged Necessity is the Mother of Invention to be a decent choice.
At least better than Let’s Eat Well and Live Well, which kept getting mentioned on SNS and community sites.
[[HOT] ㅁㅊ Kang Hae-soo
Did he really clear that?
When he ran at the end and I saw the ground shift, I thought he was definitely going to miss it
This is insane… I’m so shocked I can’t even speak
Even the Production Team was genuinely shocked lol They probably didn’t expect it to be topped lol
“His athletic ability is insane lol. He didn’t practice separately for this, right?”
└Would practice even make that possible…? That’s just pure talent;;
└A talent Taenung missed out on
└Grandma, these days it’s Jincheon, not Taenung]
[(Original Language: English) (View Original)
I’m genuinely grateful that Hae-soo chose the idol path. Because if he hadn’t??
I would’ve only seen him once every four years at the Olympics 💀💀
RT394 ♥512]
Haha, right… I don’t really watch sports, so I might have never known about this amazing guy my whole life 💀
└(Original Language: English) (View Original) But if Korea and our country had faced off, I think I would’ve rooted for Hae-soo instead of our team 😭
When Kang Hae-soo cleared the nearly six-meter track, SNS and community sites erupted in flames.
Next was Okada’s turn.
When Okada touched a hold no one else could reach with incredible jumping power, the atmosphere heated up intensely.
[[HOT] I thought only Kang Hae-soo was good
but Okada’s amazing too;;
Where did they recruit the entire debut group from Jincheon?
└Okada is Japanese though
Oh right, haha, Sung-i’s last name is O and her first name is Kadain.
└Where are you from with that O?
└Sir~ She’s from Tokyo O
Tokyo’s five o’clock lol
[[NEW] Now that I think about it, didn’t Okada
do sports too?
In IKE Dol’s second sub-quest, Okada played volleyball
I think she mentioned in passing that she played volleyball before, but maybe I’m misremembering.
└Not official, just fan speculation
└Her form as a substitute and setter didn’t look like a beginner’s
└Maybe she did it as a club activity? Japan has a lot of club activities anyway]
Okada wasn’t the type to talk about herself first.
If I hadn’t asked about her being in the Volleyball Club during middle school, I would never have found out.
‘I wonder if that’s just her nature, or did something change her…?’
That’s when I spotted a post that caught my eye on the Community Website.
It had only been up for ten minutes, but there were already over twenty comments.
[[HOT] Wow no way I found Okada’s past photo
(A photo of students in volleyball uniforms holding a massive banner and smiling brightly)
That’s definitely Okada in the middle, right?
She looks like she was in middle school, so she must have been in the Volleyball Club!
└Where did you find this?
└It comes right up if you search 岡田ヒロ バレーボール部 on Google
└(Link) This must be it
└Wait what? Intermiddle? Okada competed in Intermiddle?
└What’s Intermiddle?
└Intermiddle is the collective term for Japan’s Nationwide Middle School Sports Tournament, held every summer to determine the strongest in each sport among middle school students. It’s the most prestigious sports competition for that age group. Only a select few teams that have passed through prefectural tournaments can participate, so breaking through the regional preliminaries itself is considered a tremendous achievement. (Source: ChatGPT)
└Thanks SpeedwagonBot
└Isn’t she just a substitute player? Making a big deal out of just passing regional preliminaries when she didn’t even win Intermiddle
“Aren’t you Korean? Can’t you read Korean? It literally says right there ‘Just breaking through the regional preliminaries is considered a huge achievement.’ lol”
└I ran it through a translator and Okada was the captain
I can’t provide a translation for this text as it appears to be random Korean consonants and vowels without forming meaningful words or a coherent sentence.
└’主将 3年 岡田ヒロ選手’ means ‘Captain, 3rd Year Okada Hiro Student’;;]
After reading it, I couldn’t just let it pass.
I tapped Okada’s shoulder.
“Hiro.”
“Yes?”
“Your past photo just surfaced online.”
“A past photo?”
I showed her the photo.
Okada’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, but she didn’t look flustered.
For some reason, my chest felt a little tight.
“You were the volleyball club captain?”
“Yes? Yes.”
“You advanced to some tournament called Intermiddle or something, right?”
“Ah, yes. I was fortunate.”
“Why didn’t you tell me until now?”
“Um… Did I need to tell you?”
Faced with Okada’s innocent question, I found myself at a loss for words.
‘That’s right, I don’t have to say anything. I don’t need to….’
A part of me wanted to show off a little, so what was the harm?
…That thought crossed my mind, but I didn’t voice it aloud.
I didn’t want it to seem like I was forcing her.
“Are you angry with me?”
“Angry? Why would I be angry?”
“It just… seemed like you were.”
I wasn’t angry.
I was just a little hurt.
I’d only learned about her volleyball experience because I asked first, and now the same situation was happening again.
“…I thought you weren’t interested.”
“Hm?”
Okada, who had been watching my expression carefully, slowly opened her mouth.
“Everyone doesn’t seem to like it when I talk about myself….”
I realized a moment too late what Okada was trying to say.
At first, I’d assumed she was simply someone who didn’t talk much about herself.
But that wasn’t it.
The loneliness and hardship of life in a foreign land had sealed her lips shut.
“Hiro, you’re not a trainee anymore.”
I swallowed a sigh and continued speaking calmly.
Okada straightened up and began focusing intently on my words.
“You can’t hesitate when talking about yourself. Self-promotion is an essential quality for an idol.”
Okada’s eyes sparkled like a student listening to a renowned instructor’s lecture.
Embarrassed, I cleared my throat and looked away.
“Ahem, anyway… don’t try to hide so much. You have so many people who want to hear your story now.”
I showed Okada the SNS and Community Website posts.
[Wait, our Hiro was in the Volleyball Club in middle school?
And even the captain???
Plus she made it to the Nationwide Tournament?????
I just took melatonin to sleep, is this a dream…?
RT114 ♥315
Surprisingly, it’s not a dream…haha
└Why didn’t I know something this important? I searched hard too, but why doesn’t it show up when I search?
So Hiro joined the Volleyball Club > became captain and made it to the Nationwide tournament in his third year > came to Korea and started training as an Idol trainee > appeared on IKE Dol > debuted? His life is literally a drama lol
└Are there any videos of the game left? I’m so curiousㅠㅠ]
I watched Okada’s eyes moving busily as I spoke.
“Our fans, you know. They’d be happy even if you just told them what you had for lunch today.”
Okada’s lips curved upward as she finally tore her eyes away from the fan comments.
“Yes… thank you for telling me.”
