Chapter 279

When the cast of ‘Men Go’ were patrolling the airport.

The east side of the Departure Hall was bustling with idols leaving for LA.

“Miss Nahyun! Miss Nahyun!”

“Please look here. Here! Yes! Here!”

“Please lower your hands!”

The photo time that started from the crosswalk ended when the idols went to check in with the airline.

The members of Autumn Girls, who greeted politely, lined up at the airline counter with their fans, and the photojournalists gathered in a corner and caught their breath.

“Phew, I thought I was going to suffocate.”

“Did you get good pictures? I think mine got shaky when someone pushed me earlier.”

“Hmm, it’s a bit tricky…”

The journalists who were sorting out the photos that were worth publishing had a conversation.

“The departure road is almost over, right? It’ll be pretty quiet once the Autumn Girls fans are gone.”

“There’s one more left. NYX.”

“Oh. We have to shoot them too.”

NYX.

The girl group of TJ Entertainment that joined Legendary Song Discovery as the successor of New Black was on the rise recently.

Fortunately, the journalists were able to leave work when NYX arrived.

They were packing their camera bags when.

“Ah…” someone exclaimed and the journalists turned their heads.

“What’s wrong?”

“I got a bunch of bad pictures.”

“Let me see.”

The picture was supposed to be of Andrew of Daydream, who was the MC of the K-pop concert.

But Andrew was on the edge, and instead, a third person was in the center.

A Special Forces soldier who covered his face under a red beret.

Everyone saw the picture and laughed in agreement.

“It’s an easy mistake.”

“Me too, when I saw this person passing by, my eyes were drawn to him.”

“Me too, me too. My camera lens moved like this without me knowing. Following his walk.”

It wasn’t just them.

The idol fans who were standing in front of the gate also turned their heads as the impact was strong.

‘There was a camera too. What kind of documentary are they filming?’

The journalists who thought of something like the anniversary special ‘Police Special Forces Edition’ of the station soon gave words of consolation to the person who had a gloomy face.

“Oh, man. You can’t use any of those pictures.”

“I know…”

“But you never know. Maybe that was a real celebrity. A police Special Forces experience program like this.”

The journalist said ‘I hope so’ and smiled weakly, and they all left with their bags.

“Huh…?”

Someone looked at his phone and widened his eyes.

“What, did you get a scoop?”

“Did you see the tip that was posted on SNS just now? The cast of ‘Men Go’ are patrolling the airport with a guest.”

“When, where?”

The journalists who were hastily opening the zipper of their camera bag stopped their actions at the following words.

“They must have left already. Around the time Autumn Girls departed.”

“Ah…”

“But the pictures that were taken, their outfits…”

“Outfits?”

“See for yourself.”

The journalists who looked at the SNS app blinked their eyes.

The cast of ‘Men Go’ wearing Special Forces uniforms and patrolling the airport were seen.

There was also a picture of Min Taewon and Hanjo of Street Boys, who had revealed their identity, waving their hands with their masks down.

“That’s him, right? Street Boys guy? Wait, then the cast this time…”

“Guest! That! Them!”

“New Black! Oh, man! I missed them right in front of me! They’re the ones you can’t miss!”

The journalists who were sighing at the sky felt something pass through their heads.

‘Wait a minute…’

Everyone’s heads turned at the same time.

Where their eyes were headed, the journalist who had a depressed expression until a while ago was saying ‘Oh!’.

“That person who passed by earlier, that was New Black’s Woojoo, right?”

“Wait, wait. Then me too.”

“I have to check too.”

The idol fans who were getting up from their seats paused one by one, hearing the noise of the reporters.

“New Black Woojoo?”

“Woojoo? Didn’t he pass by earlier?”

“Wow, was that him hiding like a Conan villain?”

While the reporters and the idol fans were on the same page, looking for the hidden Woojoo.

“Ah, I found him…!”

The reporters and the fans blinked their eyes, happy to have found something to post on the internet.

“…”

“…”

Someone’s words summed up everyone’s feelings.

“What should I title this?”

30 minutes later.

Along with the articles about the idols leaving for LA, there were also articles about ‘Men Go’ on the internet.

They had patrolled the airport with the police Special Forces, and the photo news that came along with the news.

-[Photo] ‘Find the hidden Woojoo’… Can you spot Woojoo in the picture?

-[PhotoK] ‘Today he’s a Special Forces member’, New Black Woojoo concealed his beauty at the airport

-This reporter couldn’t think of a suitable title (feat. New Black Woojoo)

-[Photo News] Special Forces in the airport, ‘If you look hard enough, you’ll see Woojoo’

-“He passed by like a secret agent” New Black Woojoo, not showing off his beauty

-[Video] The ‘red circle’ is the universe

Idol fans burst into laughter at the hilarious titles.

In every photo of the idols leaving the country, a black monster appeared in the background like a ghost.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ사진ㅋㅋㅋㅅㅂ

-I tried to salvage the blurred parts somehow, but it made it even funnier. I thought he was an idol’s spirit.

-Why is he so wistful?

-Woojoo: Yes… You’ve grown well… (disappears)

-What a terrible morning. LOL -The idol hid his face. LOL Who is this reporter? 

-They made him look like a criminal. T_T LOL 

-The video is even funnier. ㅋㅋIt looks like a crime scene.ㅋㅋ

There was also a video that circled the space station in red, like a news clip of an accident or a disaster.

The homemade photos that followed made everyone laugh.

Behind the idols who were smiling brightly, there was a sunglass-wearing weirdo who stared at the camera faintly, like a hidden picture puzzle.

-He must have seen every camera he passed by…

-A pro idol, huh?ㅋㅋ

-But seriously, I can’t tell if he’s an alien or not.

-I agree. He’s like the Little Prince who drew a box and said there were three sheep inside. ROFL

-But if you look closely, you can see it.

-Everyone has a Woojoo in their heart, right?

-You have to look with the eyes of your mind.

-Hey, who’s the one who said you can see Woojoo’s face with a magic eye? Come out!

-Charcoal, how do you feel about this treat?

The Soufflés were obviously shocked.

-I’ve been a fan for 10 years. I can say this for sure. Our kids are really unpredictable.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ222 true that

-333333333

-I can't predict what will happen next, but it's always good.

Our fandom is like a random box. Wise words.jpg

Other fans: Hey coals, your idol is patrolling at the airport / Me:

If I told my past self, they would think I'm crazy. Your bias is doing undercover work at the airport a year later.

My friend is a fan of SB, and I laughed so hard when they saw Hanjo's picture and said, "This is how you guys feel."

But the Special Forces fit is too OP..

• • Junghyun, you’re crazy! You look like a Special Forces agent!

• • Our third son’s physique is amazing, thrilling, and blissful to look at!

• • Junghyun, who took your picture? Give them a reward right away!

• • Fatal wound

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋfaintㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why hasn’t anyone discovered Woojoo yet? It’s so beautiful… I want to show it to you, but all I see is black… 

-A picture popped up, but it had no eyes, nose, or mouth. 

-It’s truly the New Black. A black that never existed before. 

-When the Soufflés received the new clue, they wondered, ‘Is this edible?’

The PR Team of Lemon Entertainment was in a state of panic.

“Did you say that Woojoo is patrolling the airport?”

“With the Special Forces? Oh… that’s news to us too.”

“Please contact the Production Team for anything related to the entertainment show. We were asked to keep it a secret.”

The staff blinked their eyes every time they answered the phone calls from the reporters.

They knew that the idols had gone to the Special Forces through the manager.

But they had no idea that their departure photos would become a hot topic.

‘What is he doing?’

‘Woojoo, where are you and what are you doing?’

‘He’s a promotional fairy. Our kid.’

Meanwhile, as photos like ‘Find Woojoo’ were uploaded in large numbers, naturally, the attention was also focused on ‘Men Go’.

They wondered what they were going to do in the next special episode that these photos came out.

Of course, the broadcasting station was happy about it.

“Ratings! Ratings!”

“Hahaha!”

The PD and the Production Team of ‘Men Go’ high-fived and cheered, ‘It’s a success! It’s a success!’

“…”

“…”

The members of New Black, who gathered in the practice room, blinked their eyes as they looked at the photos of Woojoo and Junghyun.

“…Woojoo Hyung?”

Why was Hyung there?

The bus was noisy with the cast members.

“Look at this! The news is huge!”

“Oh, really. Really.”

“Puhaha! Look at the headline of Woojoo’s news! It’s awesome!”

They were checking the outside news on the tablet PC that the PD gave them while they were moving to another place after finishing the patrol.

“There are so many photos, right?”

“Yeah. 90 percent of them are Woojoo’s photos.”

“Woojoo, you did well.”

Woojoo let out a sheepish laugh at the photo of the monster who seemed to stare at the camera.

Woojoo didn’t know he was photographed so much.

He guessed it was because of his occupational disease that he smiled and looked at the camera lens whenever he saw it, but he didn’t expect it to be this much.

On the other hand, there were quite a few photos of the other cast members.

“What? Why did I get photographed with my belly out?”

“Because your belly is out?”

“Hey! Jo Sohyung! Pffft…!”

The cast members teased each other, but their expressions were bright.

“They did a great job with the promotion. Really.”

“Right? People will be curious and have to watch the show.”

“It’s good. Really. How much we’ve been worried about promoting it. We.”

They all hid their identities, but they secretly hoped that people would recognize them.

If they walked around in a busy time saying ‘We’re celebrities’, they could get scolded.

The purpose was to experience one of the actual tasks of the Special Forces, which was patrol, but they could be misunderstood in other ways.

Everyone was trying to hide it, but they also wanted to be recognized.

Junghyun and Woojoo, and Hanjo didn’t notice, but it seemed like many people recognized the cast of Men Go, a popular program.

Thanks to that, the shoulders of the Men Go cast were raised.

“Ahem. Did you see that, kids?”

“This is us.”

“Wherever we go, celebrities stand out. How do they recognize us even when we’re all wrapped up…”

They chuckled and they laughed too.

They looked at the photos they were in and commented on them one by one, while looking at the sky outside the window.

Woojoo wondered what kind of reaction his kids were having.

Jiho was probably searching ‘where to buy that outfit’, and Rihyuk was zooming in on the photos to check if the guns had safety locks on.

Bijoo was…

“What’s wrong, Hyung?”

“Do you think Bijoo is saving our photos? Or not?”

“Maybe he’s making video gifs too.”

“What? He knows how to make gifs now?”

“I can imagine him doing it, but I don’t think he can actually do it.”

“…?”

Woojoo gave up trying to understand what he meant.

“I’m jealous.”

Hanjo, who was sitting next to him, said, “…By now, our members are probably trying to roast me with all kinds of ideas.”

“They care about you that much, that’s why.”

“That must be it, right?”

“Besides, it’s fun to tease each other…”

He glared at Woojoo and he smiled and looked away.

They continued filming after cooling off on the bus.

They agreed to meet again with the Special Forces in the evening and parted ways, and they toured the airport with the production staff.

It was to show the viewers the people who keep the airport safe on a regular basis.

The airport police, who handled various criminal cases at the airport.

The aviation security staff of the airport corporation.

The external personnel and EOD who patrol regularly.

The customs who monitored the smuggling of drugs or dangerous goods.

And finally, the 119 Emergency Team who responded when a patient occurred.

They visited various places and interviewed the people there, and every time they made a scene, Woojoo was amazed.

“Wow…”

“There were so many hidden places in the airport.”

“I’ve never heard of most of the places today. I thought there would only be a police station.”

Woojoo didn’t know the secrets of the airport when he only came for immigration because of overseas activities.

Some agencies like the National Intelligence Service and the prosecution couldn’t film because of security, but this was enough to surprise him.

Junghyun and Woojoo whispered in the back.

“It’s amazing.”

“It feels like we’re exploring secret places.”

“Right? Let’s brag to the kids when we go back. We saw places that no one can go to at the airport.”

“I’m going to brag so much to Bijoo.”

As they giggled and cheered each other on, PD Do Joongi spoke to the cast.

“This is the last place for today. It’s far from here, so we have to take a bus to get there.”

“What? We have to take a bus again?”

“Yes.”

“Ugh… Where are you taking us now?”

PD Do smiled slyly.

“You remember I told you to bring your passports, right?”

“Oh, right.”

“You’ll need them for where we’re going next.”

“What? Where is it?”

The cast was buzzing with curiosity, but he didn’t answer.

“We’re not going to some weird place again, are we?”

“Hey, don’t be so nervous.”

“Is it the coast guard Special Forces this time? Are we taking a boat?”

The mood turned cold at Jo Sohyung’s joke.

“…”

“I’m sorry.”

“…”

Everyone nodded silently.

But judging by the atmosphere, it didn’t seem like they were going to a strange place.

The bus they boarded soon circled around the airport and entered a certain entrance.

After checking their passports at the checkpoint, they let them through to a place they never expected.

“Wow…!”

It was the apron.

The space where the planes were lined up outside the terminal.

Even the cast members who often took flights were amazed as they got farther away from the airport terminal.

They also moved through an underground tunnel that looked like something out of a hero movie. And when they passed by a place where tow trucks were lined up, Lee Pilseung said, “I just heard from PD Do that you need an ID to get in here.”

“Oh, so that’s why he told us to bring our passports…”

“Why didn’t he just tell us to bring our IDs?”

“Then he couldn’t fish us.”

“Well, that’s true. Was this Joongi’s big plan?”

“…But where are we going?”

As soon as he said that, the bus slowed down.

The huge tower that we always saw from afar through the glass at the airport was towering in front of them.

It was the control tower.

Everyone opened their mouths wide at the sight of the tower that could swallow up an average apartment.

“It’s huge…”

“I thought it was small, but it’s huge.”

As they got off the vehicle, PD Do gave them a word of caution.

“This place is a very important security facility, so the filming will be limited. We’ll only watch from afar outside so we don’t interfere with their work.”

“Yes!”

“Shall we go then?”

They went through another identity check and took a tour of the control tower.

The control room behind the glass door on the top floor of the elevator was filled with complex devices and people operating them.

The camera filmed their reactions from the other side.

After finishing the filming in a solemn atmosphere, they found the observatory prepared for outside visitors.

“Wow…”

It was a place where they could see the airport at a glance under the blue sky.

It was as high as the 35th floor of an apartment.

The airport looked like a model house model and the planes looked like toys.

Woojoo always gasped when he saw a plane, but it looked different from here. How should he put it? It felt better.

Every time he tried to take a plane, he was intimidated by its huge size or swallowed his saliva as he looked up.

But the plane he saw from above was very small.

It was funny how much he was afraid of it.

It was like the feeling of seeing a big puppy that he was scared of when he was in kindergarten, and it looked small when he grew up.

He smiled faintly at the thought that what he was afraid of was this small.

He pressed his face close enough to touch his nose to the window.

The cool air conditioner wind cooled the sweat on his back, and the heat from outside was transmitted through the glass that he pressed his face close to.

It was amazing.

The scenery of the planes going up and down in the cloudless weather was peaceful.

It made him feel calm.

Woojoo turned his head at the sight of someone staring at him, and Junghyun, who had been glancing sideways, only moved his eyes in that state.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Woojoo smiled.

“From here, the planes look really small, don’t they?”

“Yeah, they do. They’re small.”

“I didn’t notice it when I saw them up close. But from afar, they look kind of cute.”

It was like a village where planes lived together.

There were small and chubby planes, and planes with a mean look, and huge passenger planes.

As Woojoo observed the planes with their own personalities, he chatted with Junghyun.

“How do you like it, everyone?” PD Do Joongi asked with a smile.

“This is the place I wanted to go since I planned the special episode on the Special Forces Team. I really wanted to show this to you guys. It was worth asking the airport construction site for permission to film, right?”

Among the smiling people, Woojoo nodded his head.

It was definitely a sight worth seeing.

At the same time, he felt grateful to the PD of Men Go for the first time since the recording started.

The joint anti-terror training scheduled for the evening ended successfully.

“Clear!”

“Clear!”

“Situation room, we have secured the base.”

The training was very easy thanks to the three days of hard training.

It was a scenario where a bomb threat was made to the airport.

The Special Forces Team was in charge of subduing the terrorists, and they were in charge of carrying the bomb-proof bags or providing support fire for the Special Forces members.

The training ended with the capture of the terrorists and the successful dismantling of the explosives by the EOD.

-Ah, this is the situation room broadcasting. Thank you all for participating in today’s training.

The radio from the situation room went on for a long time.

-Also, we would like to thank the cast of ‘Men on a Mission’ for participating in today’s training.

The Special Forces members and they, who had been listening to the radio, smiled and gasped for breath.

“It’s over!”

“Good job, everyone!”

They all patted each other’s shoulders and said they did a good job.

Officer Go Kwangsoon and the Special Forces members hugged the cast with a smile, wiping off the sweat that had accumulated.

Among the Tactical Team 1 members who lined up in a row.

In a place where the dark evening sky was visible, they stood in front of the camera in the same line as the opening.

Lee Pilseung clapped his hands and smiled.

“Yes, finally, the recording of Men on a Mission, the Special Forces Team special episode, is over-”

“It’s over!”

“Woohoo…!”

Sergeant Go laughed with a wheeze at the sight of everyone hugging and rejoicing.

Along with Lee Pilseung’s comment as the MC, they each had a time to share their thoughts on this training.

As Woojoo fixed his hair that was messed up by the sweat, he received the microphone from the production team.

“How was it, Woojoo?”

“I think I felt a lot of things in many ways.” Woojoo said with a smile, “To be honest, when I saw the ‘Special Forces Team’ sign, I thought, oh, this is really bad.”

“But it was fun when you actually came, right?”

Woojoo pretended not to hear Sergeant Go Kwangsoon’s words.

“The training was harder than I thought, and I felt my own limits in many ways. But fortunately, thanks to the help of the Special Forces Team, I think it was a time to upgrade myself by one level.”

“Woojoo…”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t talk because I’m scared of Sergeant Go.”

The Team 1 members dragged Sergeant Go, who was trying to approach him.

As everyone laughed, Woojoo continued.

“I sincerely thank everyone who gave me this good experience…”

The cast of Men Go broke the emotional atmosphere by saying ‘Hey!’

“It doesn’t sound sincere.”

“It can’t be sincere.”

“There’s only one way to check. Woojoo! Can you recommend this to someone else?”

Woojoo smiled brightly at that.

“Of course.”

“Oh, who? Tell us if you have anyone.”

The cast, who knew how to make content by looking at Woojoo’s expression, was teasing him. He smiled brightly at their malicious expression.

There was one thing he had agreed with the PD beforehand.

“I have a friend who debuted as an idol among my military juniors.”

“Oh, really?”

“He’s a friend of mine named Kevin from APLB. He’s a very adventurous guy, so I wanted to recommend him to try this experience.”

The universe never died alone.

“Wow, what a water ghost…”

“He says that with a smile.”

While the cast added their comments, Woojoo looked at the camera and recorded a video letter for Eunsung in the future.

“Kevin, or Eunsung. When you see this letter, you have to come out. Promise me.”

“Promise~!”

“You have to go to the army twice! Army again!”

“Army again!”

They all laughed and said ‘Come on!’ Woojoo couldn’t help but laugh too.

Then, Hanjo said, ‘We have a great friend on our team, Namu, Namu.’ Everyone laughed.

After Junghyun finished his short comment, the guests decided to clap the slate for the ending.

They three clapped their hands like scissors in harmony, and PD Do shouted, “You’ve worked really hard for three nights and four days!”

“Thank you!”

“You know there’s a pork belly dinner nearby, right? If you don’t come, you’ll go to the marines next time!”

“Hahaha! …Wait a minute. Marines? Hey, Joongi.”

The air was warm after the recording ended.

They all walked to their managers and complained, and they smiled brightly at Minki Hyung and Dowon Hyung.

“Minki Hyung! Dowon Hyung!”

“We’re here yo.”

They both burst into laughter.

“You did well. Ouch.”

“Both of your faces are half gone.”

The managers gave them snacks and comforted them as the soup ran down their faces.

Ah. Why was he crying?

It was only three nights and four days, but it felt so long.

Woojoo saw Mrs. Kim Deoksoon and his siblings in front of him, and he didn’t know what to do because he missed them so much.

“Kids, are you all doing well?”

“Uh, well…”

When Dowon Hyung hesitated, three faces behind his big back popped out one by one.

It was like a Russian matryoshka doll, popping out one after another.

“Ta-da!”

“We came to pick you up.”

“We’re here!”

Junghyun and Woojoo blinked their eyes for a moment and ran to their siblings.

“Kids!”

“Hyung!”

“I missed you!”

“Me too!”

The staff laughed at them as they hugged and cried like they hadn’t seen each other in ten years.

They all gathered in a circle like penguins and cried out loud.

Squirm.

“Ugh, the smell of sweat…”

“Where are you going!”

They grabbed Rihyuk, who tried to run away in the middle, and brought him back and jumped around.

“Hanjo-ssi! Come here!”

“Can I join you?”

Hanjo, who was waiting for his manager to pick him up, came over and joined their group.

After they were happy for a minute.

PD said that the members could also come to the meat restaurant, and the siblings were happy and ran.

“Let’s all go. If we count how much Woojoo earned for us this time, we wouldn’t have enough to buy beef.”

The cast of Men Go cheered.

“Joongi. Yeah! Let’s eat beef.”

“Do you want to go to the marines after eating beef? Do you want to go to the army after eating pork?”

“…Can’t I just not eat? If I don’t eat.”

Bijoo was envious of this united atmosphere and liked it.

The cast of Men Go left first, and they moved to the meat restaurant in Yeongjongdo.

Ah. Finally, the long recording of three nights and four days was over.

It was liberation.

Woojoo rubbed his shoulders with the fatigue that piled up on his body and chatted with his siblings.

Ding dong-

Woojoo looked at the sparkling phone screen.

[Go Kwangsoon has invited Seon Woojoo to the ‘Tactical Team 1’ chat room]

【Notice】 Today is the day we invite Woojoo // We have a rock climbing meetup on the weekend

“…”

Woojoo turned his head and saw the members of Tactical Team 1.

They met Woojoo’s eyes and gave him a cheerful smile and a thumbs-up as a group.

“…”

What was this?

Why did he feel like it wasn’t over yet?
