200

[FNL appearance is insane lolololol]

Friday Night Live, in other words.
A variety program that aired every Friday night at 10 PM, it was famous for inviting only those leading the trend as hosts.
Normally, it would have been far too early for The Dun to appear on such a broadcast, but thanks to the “Ho-yoon Syndrome” sweeping the nation, an unexpected opportunity had arrived.

[Curious what kind of skits they’ll do]
[Do you want to play Apocal Jacon one more time?? ㅠㅠ 5 minute boyfriend?? ㅠㅠ

└Five-minute boyfriend lololol sounds hilarious lololol]

After the FNL preview and confirmation of appearance articles dropped, Noeul fans buzzed with speculation about what content might air.
However, despite all this, the Ho-yoon Syndrome itself wasn’t discussed much among them.
Ho-yoon hadn’t explicitly expressed whether he liked or disliked it, and even when such comments appeared during B Live streams, his expression never wavered.
Yet to the fans, it was painfully obvious from his actions.

[Ho-yoon lately lololol the frequency of calling him “Banban” has dropped dramatically]
[Suddenly wearing white clothes everywhere.. that rebellious bastard..

└Plus he only owns black clothes so that’s Kim Sung-hyun’s shirt lmao so funny]
But I also don’t like it…
[He genuinely seems to hate it lololol

It was a plague that shouldn’t have existed..]
It was a plague that should never have existed.

The “Ho-yoon Syndrome” that had crossed from the screen into reality was truly a calamity too significant to simply laugh off.
Moreover, as more people began imitating it, backlash inevitably followed.

Nouls, who had already been through a lot of things, snorted at the negative comments that stuck with them as if it was natural.

[Lee Eung~]
The Noeul fans, having already experienced countless incidents, simply scoffed at the negative comments that clung to every post as if it were natural.
[Oh yeah, yeah, everything you said is right]
[Yeah~]

[Ugh fine fine, you guys are totally right]
[It was definitely on purpose lol, looks like he was trying to mess with Kang Yeon-hu]

Honestly, kindness and gentleness were Noeul’s baseline traits, so as fans who knew even a rough sketch of Seo Ho-yoon’s personality, we figured there had to be a reason behind his guilty plea on “Wanna Sing With Me?”—he wouldn’t have said it without cause.

[I messed up. My group assignment junior seems to be sick.
Still, Noeul fans shared one sentiment.
He’s looking at me with a sly look on his chin. I want to hit him.
[I’m doomed, my group project junior Seo H.Y. seems to have caught something
suddenly unwrapping candies one by one and eating them

sigh… did Mr. H.Y. really have to bring this kind of disaster to South Korea…]
[If you’re watching, Mr. Seo Ho-yoon, please stop this disease… it’s horrifying…]
There were some fans who were worried because it was a program that was very direct and went beyond the standard at times, but most were full of expectations.

Various posts went up and disappeared in cycles as Friday Night Live’s broadcast day arrived.

After a long commercial, the broadcast began.
【Mid-July, 20XX, Hospital in XX Prefecture】
And then the narration flowed.

Kim Sung-hyun, dressed in a white coat and silver-rimmed glasses, walked in alongside the famous comedian Ji Yu-jeong.

“Please follow me.”

[What is this doctor concept???

└It feels like a hospital documentary.
[Wait, is this a doctor concept???

└Feels like a hospital documentary
└Oh.. okay okay]

“Professor Kim, it’s time to examine the next patient.”

└It’s a huge development..]

[But why is it suddenly a hospital documentary??]

Walking down the hallway again, there were strangely many patients covered in black from head to toe.

[Oh please]

When Kim Seong-hyun, who bumped into a patient, grabbed his shoulder and looked back, the actor playing the patient raised one corner of his mouth.

“Brother, are you sorry?”

However, his actions and speech were somehow strangely familiar.

“…I’m a professor.”
But there was something oddly familiar about the gesture and tone.

“…I’m a professor, actually.”

“…Professor. Let’s move.”
[Oh god, please]

“…Professor. Let’s move on.”
“…Yes.”

Kim Sung-hyun followed Ji Yu-jeong into the patient ward with a genuinely exhausted expression, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

The camera slowly zoomed in from bottom to top.
“How are you feeling today, patient?”

The camera slowly zoomed in from below.

—Seong Ji-won was lying down.
“Baby, you came?”

—Sung Ji-won, grinning softly as he spoke to Kim Sung-hyun.

Ji Yu-jeong whispered next to Kim Seong-hyeon, who was looking at the scene in horror.

“I am a patient with stage 3 Seo Ho-yun disease.”
Ji Yu-jeong whispered beside Kim Sung-hyun, who was gazing at the sight with despair.

“Seo Ho-yoon patient, third case.”

“Patient, I will examine you.”
“Baby, I feel sad.”
“I’m doing an inspection.”
“Patient, I’ll run some tests.”

“I said I’m running tests.”
“Just call me Ji-won like you normally do.”

[Is this correct?
Kim Sung-hyun seems genuinely pissed off lol what do I do hahahaha
In addition, the relaxed look was more natural than when she took on the role of Kang Yi-chae in the past when she changed roles for K-high school self-produced content.
Kim Sung-hyun’s jaw clenched, trembling slightly.

What’s more, he looked so composed that it felt more natural than when he’d taken on Kang Yi-chae’s role during the K-Godding in-house content’s role-swap episode.

Kim Seong-hyeon tried to stop Sung Ji-won with his own passionate acting, but Sung Ji-won only slightly tilted his head.

“Are you worried about me now?”
Kim Sung-hyun gave a passionate performance trying to rein in Sung Ji-won, but Sung Ji-won merely tilted his head slightly.
“It’s a shame. I was excited.”

“No.”

“Sung Ji-won, please calm down. Seo Ho-yoon is enough for the group. No, there are too many.”
Watching Sung Ji-won brush his hair back with one corner of his mouth raised, Kim Sung-hyun lifted his gaze to the ceiling and let out a sigh.
“…yes?”

“What about Yi-chae?”

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Jeong Da-jun!!!!! Hey hahahahahahaha]
“Hi, my love.”

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Jung Da-jun!!! Hey hahahahahahahaha

In episode 2 of ‘Do you want to sing with me?’, Jeong Da-jun appeared wearing a pineapple hat and stomping around wearing the hoodie that Kang I-chae was wearing.

“Was I not enough?”

Next to him, the real Kang Yi-chae, sitting on a simple chair, was holding Jeong Da-jun’s hand while dabbing her soft eyes with a tissue.

“Hmph, what should we do with Dajun….”
Beside him sat the real Kang Yi-chae on a folding chair, dabbing at his fluffy eyes with tissue while attending to Jung Da-jun’s every whim.

“Sigh, what am I going to do with our Da-jun….”
“Seriously, what am I going to do with him….”

Kim Sung-hyun let out a deep sigh and echoed Kang Yi-chae’s sentiment.
Ji Yu-jeong leaned close to Kim Sung-hyun and whispered in his ear.

“Professor, we’ve been hearing that patients with Kang Yi-chae Syndrome have been coming in occasionally.”
“This is truly serious. If it spreads any further, the country will genuinely be ruined.”

[Now I understand why they gave the doctor role to Kim Sung-hyun, The Dun’s acting landmine
No one else in The Dun could pull off that ‘please stop this’ expression

└Agreed
└└The desperation radiating from genuine vibes..]

“Professor Kim Sung-hyun, I heard you’re also conducting research on Kang Yi-chae Syndrome. How exactly is it transmitted?”

“Are you still naive enough to think it’s a coincidence?”
At that, Jung Da-jun’s expression turned amused.

“Still maintaining that naive belief in coincidence?”

[Kang Ichae, that bastard Kang Ichae must be enjoying it 2000%]

[Kim Seong-hyun, you’re really fucking pissed.
[Kang Yi-chae is definitely enjoying Kang Yi-chae Syndrome 2000% for sure]

[Kim Sung-hyun was genuinely pissed

As Seonghyun Kim bit his lower lip, the comedian asked worriedly.

“Teacher, what should I do about this?”
Kim Sung-hyun bit his lower lip hard, and the Comedian asked with concern.

“Teacher, what do we do about this?”

“Because the patient’s ego and the disease are fighting each other, the patient’s spirit partially remains.”
Kim Sung-hyun removed his glasses and gently rubbed his eyes, which had grown dark in the meantime, before stepping forward to move to another hospital room.
“The most dangerous situation is when your ego and the disease are completely consistent.”

“Yes? What do you mean by that….”
“The most dangerous moment is when their sense of self and the illness become completely aligned.”
Like a romantic movie, the screen was filled with images of two people facing each other close together.

In slow motion, someone’s hand caught him with a sharp slap against his back just as he was about to land on his rear.
Like a scene from a romance film, the faces of the two people came close together, filling the screen.

“Hey there, baby.”
“…!”

The person was none other than Seo Ho-yoon.
Jung Da-jun, Kang Yi-chae, and Sung Ji-won all widened their eyes in shock.
“The person who throws out incriminating lines every half second or so without any basis?”

“The real Seo Ho-yoon who was diagnosed with terminal Seo Ho-yoon Disease and an incurable illness?”
“The guy who throws out shameless guilty lines every 0.5 seconds?”
please
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
You guys
Please

[These shameless bastards throwing out lines like that..
Seriously..]
“That’s harsh.”

“I’d really appreciate it if you’d take your hands off me right now.”
“He’s prickly.”

I pushed Kim Sung-hyun aside and straightened my posture, sweeping my hair back with the ferocity of someone determined to pluck every strand from my scalp—once every five seconds.
Then, as Kim Sung-hyun hastily retreated a few steps, I turned my gaze away from him and looked at Jung Da-jun with eyes dripping honey-sweet affection.

“Bangbang.”
“Bangbang? I’m a genius with a unique sense of style and natural flair, thank you very much.”

The one called Bangbang shook his head in denial, but I paid no attention whatsoever as I stepped closer and gently stroked Jung Da-jun’s hair.

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha when I think when I was able to interpret the narration of Seonghyun’s hussit’s huuuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”

“My brother misses your smiling face.”
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha when I think when I was able to interpret the narration of Seonghyun’s hussit’s huuuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”

“I miss your bright smile, hyung.”

The scene of Kim Seong-hyun’s embarrassed eyes and Seo Ho-yoon’s ‘smiling’ smile was captured on screen.
【Are they really calling that a guilty line?】
Instead, Ji Yoo-jeong, who was holding Jeong Da-jun, was surprised when she placed a stethoscope on his chest.

Jung Da-jun, covering his mouth, suddenly bounced out of bed and tried to leap into my arms, but I, quite accustomed to this, simply twisted my body slightly and smoothly dodged him.
Instead, Ji Yu-jeong, who ended up embracing Jung Da-jun, placed a stethoscope to his chest and looked startled.

“Wait, Professor! Jung Da-jun’s blood Kang Yi-chae levels are dropping!”
“What?! How is that possible?”

[Blood Kang Chae-yoon’s readings damn hahahahahahahahahahahaha]

“Seong Ji-won.”

Then he called my name in a very friendly voice.

“I’ll wait for you. Until your Seo Ho-yun condition gets better.”
And I called his name in the warmest voice I could muster.
“I will wait.”

“Don’t wait. Just forget about me cleanly.”

“How long can I wait?”
Sung Ji-won copied my habitual posture from the dormitory—flopping heavily onto the sofa—by sprawling out onto the bed, and then mimicked my cold expression.
“lie.”
“How long can you wait?”
“A year.”

“Six months.”
“Ho-yoon, do you think I’m an idiot? How long are you actually going to make me wait?!”

If a stranger happened to flip through channels and caught only this scene, they’d swear they were listening to a conversation between reunited lovers who’d once broken up.
Beside their rapid-fire banter, Kim Sung-hyun and Ji Yu-jeong (who were experiencing a slight reality check) made a fuss.

“He called him ‘Ho-yoon’!”

“How long are you going to wait?”

Seong Ji-won’s eyes wavered in all directions.

“While the traffic light changes 200 times.”

[It’s short, right?]
“For two hundred traffic light changes.”
[Seo Ho-yoon Lee Ja-shikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

Hahahahaha damn, 200 times isn’t even a day hahahahahaha
Seo Ho-yoon, you bastard lol
Everyone clapped and looked impressed, but only Kim Seong-hyun frowned.

On the right side of the device visible on camera, text read “Blood Seo Ho-yoon Level,” and the graph could be seen plummeting sharply.

Afterwards, the scene switches to an office filled with materials and bookshelf and books on both sides.
【What could this be? Every patient is recovering, yet this unsettling feeling persists.】

The scene then transitions to an office crammed with stacks of documents and bookshelves lined with books on both sides.

As if to emphasize it, the text became larger and the screen turned black.
〔—In conclusion, summarizing the findings: the Seo Ho-yoon Syndrome and Kang Yi-chae Syndrome carry a high risk of relapse at any time, and as the virus evolves, new outbreaks of Kim Sung-hyun Syndrome, Jung Da-jun Syndrome, and Sung Ji-won Syndrome are likely to occur.〕

The text enlarged for emphasis as the screen faded to black.

Those who watched him until the end remained silent for a long time, unable to write anything on social media, but finally began to post reviews.

[You just have to live happily and have fun haha]

Anyway, as long as my pups are happy.
Just live happily and have fun.
It was sad to see that Kim Seong-hyun seemed to be the only one suffering from the self-produced role-changing content, but the happiness level of the fans was 1000%.

That was the sentiment.
