253

As always, this year’s year-end stage cue sheets leaked and spread across SNS.
The public broadcasters had long since abandoned award announcements. Yet fans remained acutely sensitive to the performance order and time allocation of artists.

[The Dawn is now naturally included in all lineups ㅠㅠㅠ I am so proud and lovely]
[Wow, the order is completely different this timeㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[Teacher ㅠㅠMy babies are really close to being in the 1st teamㅠㅠㅠㅠI think their awareness has increased]

Among the year-end festivals, at QBS’s Music Awards Festival scheduled for December 31st, The Dun—who had consistently been positioned early in the lineup—finally surpassed High Five and claimed a spot later in the schedule.
It was the result of pushing past the power of major entertainment companies through sheer recognition alone, so the Noeul fans who logged onto SNS cheered inwardly while their fingers flew frantically across their keyboards.

[Damn, what is the end-of-the-year stage order…ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ But I’m actually really proud…]
[Wow.. Is it because 2359 and Clubs Again are doing well?? ㅠㅠWhat is it?? It’s my first time seeing you push, so I’m so excited right nowㅠㅠ]
“Guess she really did blow up from variety shows lol I’m going crazy, I’m so excited”

But the leak of the cue sheet also meant,

[Oh…
Collaboration…
The Dun and…
High Five…? (rubbing eyes..)]

With The Dun…

[Last year….. Lia Purple….
The collaboration stage between The Dun and High Five—two idol groups that had been kept under wraps in strict secrecy—had surfaced.
I feel like a general entering enemy territory…]
[Last year… Lia Purple…

It feels like a general marching into enemy territory…]
This year… High Five…

No lol why?? I’m good lol two Groups are so cute
But I’m just worried that the soldiers from Shas 2 will come rushing in to get PTSD…]
Amid anticipation, anxiety, and restlessness, the final day of December arrived.
As the Music Awards Festival began and the collaboration stage time drew near, The Dun’s fans were consumed with worry.
(Gif of biting into a paper cup)]

But man, I’m getting serious PTSD thinking about all those crazy fans from Shus2 showing up…]

[I just hope everything goes smoothly without any issues~

As if to appeal to their own cuteness, the names of the two idols were combined into a subtitle.

[Wow, this can’t be right]

However, contrary to that, even after more than 20 years, a wild and fresh melody with a sophisticated beat resonated through the speakers.

Blue and white lights dimmed and brightened according to the beat, illuminating the stage brilliantly.
Yet in stark contrast, a wild and fresh melody poured through the speakers over a refined beat that had endured for over twenty years.

【Heart on Fire】

Blue and white lights dimmed and brightened in rhythm, illuminating the stage brilliantly.
Five chairs sat in the center of the stage, with High Five members seated in them, and The Dawn standing in formation behind them.

[Ohhhhh yeah!]
[It drives me crazy to see Kang Yeonhu dance this before I die]

High Five fans went absolutely wild at the sight.

[Ahhhhh, if it’s WH, it’s textbook perfection! Heart on Fire!!!!]
[I’m dying seeing Kang Yeon-hu dance this before I die]
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 71]

It was a very famous song, and above all, the lyrics were provocative and catchy.
[The moment I suddenly felt grateful for the WH collaboration]
[Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Am I really seeing Seo Ho-yoon do chair choreography right now? Am I losing it? Is this real?]

【I’m falling more and more in love with you
It was already a famous song, but more than anything, the lyrics were provocative and mature.
Kim Sung-hyun took the first verse.

A sharp gaze penetrating the screen and the corners of the mouth slightly raised.
【Falling deeper into you

With those innocent eyes looking at me】
[If you just look at the real stage, you look like a crazy person… It’s so sexy…
A sharp gaze piercing through the screen, a subtle upturn of the lips.
Wearing the expression he’d learned through special training from Seo Ho-yoon, Kim Sung-hyun soared across the stage.

Wow… Kim Sung-hyun is seriously insane at this lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

A guy like that being a domestic king in pink gloves

【Don’t be too provocative
【I want to run away somewhere with you】

[Lee Chae, are you crazy?
【Don’t provoke me too much
I want to give you everything
I ain’t going anywhere】

[Yi-chae, are you insane?

Hey, are you really allowed to do that?]
[I was so shocked I literally screamed like a dinosaur in the front row]

That seductive charm unleashed a shriek like the cry of a pterodactyl.
High Five Fandom, that was the sound made by High Lee.
【Can I eat you from

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. The reaction is really funny. The two groups here are fierce.
As Kang Yeon-hu followed with the next verse, gently biting his lower lip while singing, another wave of near-screams erupted.
It was the sound of High Five’s fandom, High-Li.

While High Five expresses refined sexiness by controlling the strength and weakness, The Dawn explodes wild beauty in a rough way.

Noeul fans vs steadfast High-Li]
The Dun mainly focuses on spicy, high-stimulation flavors, and High Five has a refreshing, youthful vibe, so I thought they wouldn’t match well together, but they actually harmonize surprisingly well on stage lol.

While High Five expressed refined sexiness through controlled dynamics, The Dun unleashed raw, primal wildness.
When the parts for Heart on Fire were divided equally, both High Five and The Dawn were responsible for the part that was decided upon without disagreement.

the bottom to the top?】

The beat that had been scattering wildly in all directions suddenly subdued, transitioning into the highlight.

【I will be your man
【Don’t come near me so easily】

Seo Ho-yoon pushed against Sung Ji-won’s shoulder and broke away from the group, his gaze lowering toward the camera that was filming him from below as if looking up at him.

【I’ll be your man
Then you can’t ever leave me】

In contrast to his blazing eyes, Seo Ho-yoon’s lips curved upward softly.

[This guy is insane…]
[Lolololol look at how the crowd’s reaction suddenly gets louder lololol he’s definitely a face genius lololol
My man became a crazy all-rounder…]

Boom boom, the strong melody came back, and the High Five members bowed in unison. The members who jumped above it surpassed it.
[Lololololololol oh people are all suddenly cursing lololololololol]

My guy who’s become a crazy all-rounder…]
I want to give you everything
Boom boom boom—the intense melody returned, and the High Five members all bent at the waist in unison. The Dun members leaped over them.

Thanks to the distribution of parts at the right time, the performance was very harmonious, as if they were one team from the beginning, even though they were a group with different personalities.
【Don’t provoke me too much

I ain’t going anywhere】

Thanks to the perfectly distributed parts, despite being groups with different identities, their performance was remarkably harmonious, as if they had been one team from the beginning.
Kang Yeon-hu swept back his shimmering bangs as he sang the final verse.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 155]

Everyone took an ending pose while breathing heavily.
[Wow…]

[You guys are crazy ㅠㅠUgh]

Everyone caught their breath roughly as they struck their ending poses.

At the same time, the fierce and rough beat was gone, and a fast, addictive, and cute sound was heard.

White Cherry’s song was a huge hit four years ago.
At the same time, the fierce and rough beat vanished, replaced by a fast, addictively catchy, and cute melody.

【No, Love and Heart!】

A song by White Cherry that had been a massive hit four years ago.

While the lights were turned off, the chairs were put away and their jackets were taken off. High Five and The Dawn, dressed in white knits, divided into groups and waved their hands as if scattering pollen toward the center.

[No wait hahahahahahahahahahahahaha]

Through the gap, Kang-hu, whose face was red despite wearing heavy makeup, and Seo Ho-yoon, who even winked shamelessly, walked out.

【It’s because I’m so pretty
Wait, hold up lol

Through the gap, Kang Yeon-hu with his face flushed despite the heavy makeup, and Seo Ho-yoon brazenly throwing a wink, walked out.

【It’s because I’m so beautiful

[hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
Seo Ho-yoon, neatly wearing hand-warmer gloves, grinned widely and drew a heart with his hands toward the camera.

【It’s my fault, what can I do】
After the lecture, when he pretended to pat his face with a hand mirror next to him, the tips of his ears turned red like flower petals.

Ugh, you crazy bastards lol

Then, mimicking a breeze with a whoosh, he made a gesture of blowing a heart toward Kang Yeon-hu.

It was because I felt a little sad.

[Hahahahahahahaha, damn it, when I see Seonghyun Kim after his lecture, I feel sad as if I’m seeing this fellow countryman]
Ah Kim Sung-hyun lololololololololol!!!!

His subtle look of concern came through crystal clear.

[Hahahahahahahaha, damn it, when I see Seonghyun Kim after his lecture, I feel sad as if I’m seeing this fellow countryman]

【I get startled when I see something scary.
[The Leader really does carry a heavy burden
You can have about half a glass of beer】

At a time when each leader was having a hard time, the youngest members of The Dawn and High Five were excited and going wild.

I can’t even finish a full bowl of rice
Beer? Maybe half a glass tops】

While each leader struggled through their parts, The Dun’s and High Five’s youngest members were having the time of their lives, bouncing around with unbridled energy.

【Look, a guy like me isn’t easy to deal with
Don’t think this is a joke】

A two-shot captured Jung Da-jun poking his cheek with his index finger and laughing adorably, while Kang Yi-chae leaned against his shoulder and pouted his lips playfully.

[Aaaah!! Aaaah!! Aaaaaaaah!!!]

And as the camera moved back as if spinning, the high-five maknae line popped out and showed off its charm.

【Don’t make me anxious
└Kang Yi-chae is seriously ridiculous, those eye-smile kills me]
Sometimes I cry too
Then, as the camera panned and swept backward, High Five’s youngest member line burst onto screen, radiating charisma.

【Don’t make me anxious

Sometimes I cry

[omg;;;;;;;]

At the climax of the song, Sung Ji-won and Kwang-hoo appeared.
【I’m losing my control】

[Are you serious;;;;;;;;]
[Wow, Seong Ji-won is a popular high-pitched restaurant in our house, and even after the lecture, he was really crazy. The combination is perfect]
At the song’s climax, Sung Ji-won and Kang Yeon-hu took the stage.
They sang in the original key without showing the slightest strain, delivering the high notes cleanly and effortlessly. Their voices blended together in perfect harmony without a single note out of place.

[Are they insane????]

[Would I be heartless if I wished for a Noeul, Kang Yeon-hu and Sung Ji-won duet?]

【I don’t know what love is】

Choreography that didn’t exist originally.
The killing part repeated, and Seo Ho-yoon tilted his head with a curious expression, turning toward Kang Yeon-hu.
But it was already too late to avoid it.
【I don’t really understand what love is】

A choreography move that wasn’t originally there.

But it was already too late to escape.

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”]
【But I think you could teach me】

Seo Ho-yoon swept back the fallen strands of hair tenderly, then cupped Kang Yeon-hu’s cheeks with both hands like cradling a flower.

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”]
[Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-t-t-t-t but–

Flustered, Kang Yeon-hu’s voice wavered.
You know everything, you know this guy.
Unexpected live verification lol

[UNTRANSLATED LINE 275]

You know everything, you bastard you know
Everyone here knows this combination

【It’s never easy for a man like me
You don’t think this is a joke】

Then, in an instant, he transformed his expression, pointing at the camera with his finger before coyly sweeping his hair back behind his ear.
The Dawn and High Five members stood entangled together, leaning on each other’s shoulders or blowing hearts at their fans.

Don’t think this is a joke】

As the song ended, all ten members crowded together and struck their final pose.

[Grown men… wow.. manly….
【Love and Heart!】
It is an abbreviation for “I love a man.”
With the MCs’ introductions, the show moved on to the next performance, but the Community and SNS were flooded with talk about the collaboration.

[Grown men like that… seriously… so manly…

It’s short for “love men”
Love you guys
Even though I only have money for tteokbokki…]

[Today again… I put in my savings.
[My password is 0131

Though I only have enough for tteokbokki…]
10,000 Won Sexy Divorce
[Today too, I… made a savings deposit
The reason was because I wanted to marry Kim Sung-hyun

10,000 won Kim Sung-hyun marry me
10,000 won so sexy get divorced
10,000 won no wait actually marry me

Until recently, there were quite a few posts expressing some skepticism or concern about the joint performance between the two idols, but now there was only warmth in the air.

We’re doing it non-face-to-face lol

[I heard that collaboration this time is an abuse of power by the broadcasting company..??
Until just moments before, there had been quite a few posts expressing skepticism or concern about the joint performance of the two idols, but now only warmth filled the air.

[Sigh… I suddenly feel like cheering for my friends. I didn’t feel this way when I watched the variety show after Seo Ho-yoon’s lecture, but this performance was really off-putting to my taste.]
└└But don’t they do all the song selection themselves? LOL Anyway, they’re so damn cute.]

I was really happy because it seemed like the kids performed in harmony. They even took their parts perfectly evenly.
My babies want me to know love..^^
└Oh really??????

└It’s really creepy. The fans suddenly calmed down with just one performance.
[We’re… fighting among ourselves, what are we doing

Let’s all live happily together~^^
It was like that originally, but through this performance, the image that they would do anything for their fans was further built up.

└└lololololololololololololololololololol 300000% satisfied]

The Dun and High Five’s performance came to a successful close.

Wow-

.

“Seo Ho-yoon!”

The excitement of the stage had not yet subsided, and as I passed the backstage and headed to the waiting room, sweat covering my head, I was caught by a lecturer.

“After the lecture, senior, why?”

As he looked around in the noisy hallway, he lowered his voice and asked.

“No, I think there was just a good response without anything happening.”
“Kang Yeon-hu, what’s wrong?”

Looking around in the noisy Hallway, I lowered my voice and asked.

“Oh, nothing much—just thought the response was really good.”
“Yeah, it was.”
“Why? What more did you expect?”

expectation?
“I’m not sure if we’d fight over things like who got a better reaction or more comments. But ultimately, that’s just proof of our recognition, right?”

“What do you mean? Were you expecting something more?”

Expecting?

There were many nights where I stayed up all night feeling anxious because I couldn’t figure out what Seo Ho-yoon was thinking.
Watching Seo Ho-yoon playfully curl the corners of his mouth upward, Kang Yeon-hu found his words catching in his throat.

“Then why did you pretend to be scheming something? Why act like you were up to something?”

There had been several nights when I couldn’t sleep, anxious because I couldn’t figure out what Seo Ho-yoon was thinking.
He’d even told me I had too many thoughts already, so there was no way he wouldn’t understand my situation.

“Why are you sending such anxious messages?”

It would have been better if he’d explained from the start. Why hide something that wasn’t even worth hiding?

I couldn’t say anything after the lecture because the answer was completely unexpected.

“….”

Soon after the lecture, my body began to tremble slightly and my face became distorted.

“Hey, this dog is crazy… this idiot….”
“This….”

Soon Kang Yeon-hu’s body trembled finely, and his face twisted in anger.
In fact, even he was shaking and couldn’t spit it out properly.
“You… you crazy… lunatic….”

“Have a happy year-end.”

Though truthfully, he’d trembled so much he couldn’t even deliver it properly.

It was a good year-end.
