TeSTAR's long-awaited W Live began with the faces of Cha YooJin and Keun SeJin, whose eyes were shining.

After seeing excited fans write comments on their video, they finished manipulating the camera and walked away.

Then, the professional attire of the two suddenly caught the attention of the viewers.

They were both wearing…cooking aprons and latex gloves.

The two bowed their heads in greeting and checked the screen again. Suddenly, YooJin read a Korean comment and immediately waved his hand.

SeJin adjusted the camera and then briefly showed two raw chickens using a selfie filter.

Despite the question-filled comments, SeJin continued to speak.

What?

Are you going to cook that?

Will they be able to do it? ㅜㅜ

I can't believe chicken soup for the soul wasn't a joke lol

Despite the worried comments, the two of them laughed out loud.

The comments were more anxious seeing YooJin's unfounded confidence.

Call MoonDae

Guys, I don't think it's going to work out for you.

You're so cute, but I'm scared

The two, who are definitely at the top of the pack in terms of great mental strength, skipped malicious comments like "not fun" and "don't bother", replying only to fans.

By the way, he lied.

Everyone was supposed to arrive an hour or two later because they had to learn the choreography they had modified.

However, this pair had learned quickly, so they asked permission to come home early and hold W Live.

The other guys had no idea that these two would be doing cooking content on the live stream...

And it didn't take long for them to ruin the chicken.

YooJin, who hadn't forgotten the earlier bad experience he had with Seon AhHyun when their soup burned, did a great job of controlling the fire this time, but the problem came from somewhere else.

They had been faithfully following the recipe, but altered it by adding additional ingredients that they like best.

The comments were covered in confusion, embarrassment, and laughter.

Don’t do that

Don't add honey

Don't you have any chicken bouillon cubes? Guys, don't! ㅠㅠ

I see. It is good that there is delivery service even on this date

They write comments so fast that I get dizzy trying to read them hahahahaha

And just as fans expected, the chicken broth ended up having a mysterious taste.

They were both impatient to try it, but in doing so, they were left speechless.

The comments were full of laughter, regardless of whether they were written by fans or haters.

The two of them smiled and nodded with an expression that showed that they had tasted a ruined dish.

Before comments came out indicating that they had wasted food, SeJin spoke to cut off the possible intentions of the haters.

After pausing for a while to read the comments, SeJin shrugged and continued talking.

And at that moment, the arrival of his classmates was heralded by the sound of the front door opening.

As soon as YooJin ran out to greet the boys, SeJin put her index finger to his lips, making a silent gesture towards the camera.

He quickly hid the pot and tried to get rid of the evidence.

Of course, there was no choice.

Park MoonDae stopped questioning and bowed his head to the camera.

In an instant, numerous greetings passed in the comments. Seeing them, MoonDae gave a small smile and nodded.

He said his perfectly timed greeting.

Having copied his greeting habit that he did on the official TeSTAR account, Keun SeJin laughed loudly and Park MoonDae looked at him coldly for a moment.

In fact, the other members who were entering the kitchen covered their mouths with their hands to stifle laughter as they waved at the camera.

“This bastard…!”

Unlike MoonDae's inner thoughts, the feedback from fans was favorable.

Seeing the chat filled with laughter and puppy emoticons, MoonDae decided to hold back.

“At least it helps my image to be profitable.”

Instead, he decided to find out what they had cooked.

The comments flowed trying to cover the pair of boys, showing a good atmosphere in which they told only some of the things they had done.

They played together!

They talked~

they just talked

YooJin did aegyo ㅠㅠ MoonDae please do aegyo too

They cooked lol

SeJin cooeupeupeup

They didn't do anything lol

NT: The penultimate comment says “읍읍읍” (Eupeupeup), which is an onomatopoeia that people produce when they want to speak, but they are gagged and cannot be understood. Obviously in this case it has been used as slang to joke that the content has been censored.

SeJin tried to distract him from the comments by patting him on the back.

YooJin added a cheerful tone of voice.

SeJin was disappointed.

And Kim RaeBin muttered with a blank face as he couldn't understand the situation.

The fans burst out laughing.

Park MoonDae immediately checked the pot that SeJin had tried to hide.

MoonDae made a strange expression and tasted the contents of the pot. Then he smirked and spoke.

MoonDae clicked her tongue at him and finally grabbed the pot and put it back on the kitchen table. He then pulled more ingredients out of the fridge and started adding them to the pot.

Keun SeJin and Cha YooJin understood the situation and immediately looked at him and adored.

Seon AhHyun, unaware of MoonDae's disguised rejection, dutifully brought out a spoon and tasted the soup.

And in his expression, question marks and exclamation marks alternated.

Indeed. The classic chicken soup was gone and replaced by a spicy chicken stew…!

The shocking statement caused the audience to shake in surprise, but the person who had made it so was calm.

MoonDae turned to the phone where W Live was broadcasting and gently explained what he had done.

MoonDae gained the full trust of both of them. Of course, he never asked for it.

Still, the contents of that pot weren't enough to prepare everyone's New Year's Eve dinner, so the other members brought a grill and pork belly.

Surprisingly, YooJin and SeJin were really good at grilling meat, so they made up for ruining the main course they had planned to make.

The two older hyungs, who volunteered to clean up the kitchen, also praised them for their grilling talent.

None of them considered calling what they had initially prepared “chicken soup” as the noodles felt very strange, but they ate it well after convincing themselves that it was sujebi.

NT: Sujebi is another type of chicken soup whose noodles are not normal, but handmade at home and cut by hand into large pieces, giving them a chunky consistency. Photo in comments.

At that meaningful comment, fans clamored for information about the word “you came back.”

It definitely has a hidden history

Explain why you have that atmosphere when you talk about chicken soup

ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Please tell us

TeSTAR properly recounted everything that happened and how they enjoyed MoonDae's birthday.

The narration of the boys had so many twists and turns that it was very entertaining, thus creating a very good communicative atmosphere live. After hearing the rumor, even those who admired them but did not consider themselves fans registered on the app and joined the viewers.

And when more than two and a half hours had passed since the start, the members finally read the “question”.

In fact, this question had already been raised several times since the broadcast had started, but YooJin preferred to focus on cooking because the comments came out very quickly and he had a hard time reading hangul. On the other hand, SeJin deliberately pretended not to see them.

He did it because he felt it would be more shocking if he responded when they were all together. Thus, fans would take good screenshots to remember the moment they gave their statement.

CheongWoo, pleased by the pleasant atmosphere they had, smiled and replied.

The guys happily explained the situation in detail, though MoonDae and SeJin drew a cautionary line midway through the story.

Then they changed the subject and, after a small talk that lasted half an hour, ended the transmission. Of course, there was no lack of screenshots at the time they narrated the incident.

I can't believe that's true

Will Seon AhHyun have trained before to be able to do that?

Where are all the people who made fun of fans saying this was a lie? Hahaha

Is Seon Ahhyun really a rookie idol?

I thought it was too unbelievable to have been improvised, even though they confirmed it, I feel like it's not real…

They didn't plan it, it was a spontaneous act!;

Since it became a hot topic, don't you think they might be lying?

L There are many staff members who watched their rehearsals. Why would they lie about that?

L Do they need to lie to get attention? LOL

L Leave him alone, surely he is an Onyx fan, that's why he doesn't know anything

People were horrified to discover the truth behind the wonderful performance. The news spread like water on WeTube and Facereader.

During all that time, the unfair and controversial image associated with TeSTAR had already lost steam, but this little statement was able to get rid of those issues completely.

In that way, the controversy over the “Rookie of the Year” award totally fizzled out to the point where mentioning it made everyone uncomfortable.

Our children are geniuses…

I enjoy watching idol performances but TeSTAR members are really cute so I can't help but love them

Every time it floods, we have to clean up and remove that bad water. Hopefully we can share more of their cuteness ㅠㅠ

Fans of this group, who were excited and wanted to find more followers, tried to share the hook of their warm W Live video, but it didn't work out much.

This is because people got used to the provocative topics that were raised about TeSTAR…

So, after some hesitation, the Loviewers decided to stop talking about the chicken soup.

In any case, it was practically confirmed that they would win the “Rookie of the Year” award at the main award ceremonies in January.

TeSTAR, who renewed their image as an extremely talented idol group, was obviously scheduled to ring in the New Year on another TV channel where they were called out for being a well-performing idol group.

And as they attended, they were unexpectedly met by a familiar face.

* * *

On December 31, MBS Gayo Daejejeon aired.

—Thank you very much!

We quickly made our first presentation. This is because the MBS festival was only going to last four hours, so we were given stage time for the first and third parts of the show.

Although of course, that does not mean that we would perform only our songs. The stage we just finished was a cover of a male idol group song from the year 2000.

Also, we had to cut back a bit on the performance we planned to do in Part 3, since we could only be given 3 minutes on stage.

Hmm, considering the results we got this year, it seems that the organizing staff has neglected us.

“I wonder if I should see this as discrimination because of our origin at Icorpo or because of the agency we belong to.”

Maybe it's for both.

—We have enough time to change costumes, so it's fine~

I nodded my head.

"If we see it on the positive side, at least we avoided being given something worse."

Like Imjingak.

—That's right, we don't have to go out.

—...T-true.

If it had been in Imjingak, showing up in our summer school uniforms outside in the dead of winter would have been quite a sight.

NT: Imjingak is a huge park, it has monuments, restaurants, a swimming pool and even an amusement park.

We were chatting down the hall of the concert hall when suddenly, someone called out to us.

—Wow, it's TeSTAR! Please give me your autographs!

It was a voice that was familiar to me.

When we turned to see who had called us, our eyes widened so much that they seemed about to pop out.

—...Hello!

—Hyung!

To our surprise, it was Gold 1… Ha IlJoon.

—Hello, how have you been?

Surrounded by other people who seemed to be a group, Gold 1 greeted us by waving his hand loudly. Some of his group members also greeted us and, after a moment's thought, approached us.

There was another familiar face next to Gold 1.

—...Oh.

It was Choi Won Gil.
