Ri Hyuk appeared in the scene where they were planning the party.
The story before that was as follows.
Originally timid, but now the daughter-in-law of a conglorate who had the soul of an otherworldly princess was finally acknowledged as useful by her family.
“Alright. This ti, try planning the chairman’s party.”
She received her first assignnt from her mother-in-law.
The protagonist, who had been smiling brightly, was eyed with envy by the other sisters-in-law as they fiddled with the pearl necklace.
“Congratulations, sister-in-law.”
“I worry if you can do it well. It’s a huge task. For a sister-in-law who’s never even gotten her hands dirty, isn’t that difficult?”
As they passed by, they whispered into the protagonist’s ear, “Try struggling once.”
The protagonist glanced around and lowered her voice.
“Hey.”
She said.
“I’m about to die here. Your attitude is like a goblin’s.”
“...Sister-in-law?”
“Aah, having this temper is really annoying.”
The whisper from the princess’s mouth—whose original personality was foul-tempered—was censored with bleeps.
Startled, the soul of the original body burst out again.
“You, you... are you crazy?”
“I’m sorry, sister.”
When the villain who was about to speak was left dumbfounded by the protagonist’s sudden 180-degree turn,
“Well then, excuse .”
Thus, back in her room, the two souls inside the protagonist’s body bickered at each other with “You blockhead!” and “Are you insane?!”
“Wow, your multiple-personality acting is amazing.”
“Seriously.”
Their cheeky acting drew admiration as they watched.
In any case, to thoroughly destroy the family, they needed to win recognition from the people here and secure their position.
The two souls joined forces to plan the party.
A party to celebrate Chairman Kang of Taesan Group’s sixty-sixth birthday.
“This is the list of singers we could invite to perform.”
The secretary handed over the list, and the protagonist skimd it while deciding whom to et first.
And that was when Ri Hyuk appeared.
A capable-looking secretary adjusted his glasses and spoke; the on-screen profile expanded.
“He’s an idol singer enjoying global popularity, not just in Korea but worldwide. Chairman Kang is also a huge fan of his.”
“The chairman is?”
“He says he resembles his younger self.”
“That old man has too much ego. Does he never look in a mirror?”
At the princess’s remark, the soul of the original owner let out a high-pitched scream, and the secretary was flustered.
While watching the monitor, Junhyun said.
“It seems they set Ri Hyuk’s character as a world-class idol singer.”
“I don’t like it. Agree?”
“I do.”
They exchanged lines learned from the handso neighbors next door while giggling.
On screen, the secretary said, “If we invite him, it will be a huge hit!” and Ri Hyuk groaned.
“I, I can’t watch this.”
“Why?”
I asked, poking him in the side with my elbow.
“Are you embarrassed by your acting? We can treat this like watching our own music video and just monitor it.”
“It’s not that. It’s just...”
As Ri Hyuk tried to explain,
“So.”
The protagonist folded her arms and asked.
“What is his na?”
The scene imdiately switched, revealing Ri Hyuk in sunglasses, sitting arrogantly in a chair, wearing a familiar pretty floral shirt.
“Seo Wooju?”
“Yes.”
Ri Hyuk removed his sunglasses and chuckled.
“Yes. I’m NewBlack’s leader, Seo Wooju.”
“Uh...?”
I blinked, trying to process the situation, while my younger siblings applauded and burst into laughter.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
“Did you copy Wooju hyung? Wow, it’s exactly the sa.”
“The expression is identical...!”
As both Bi Joo and Vi Joo gushed in astonishnt, I looked back at Ri Hyuk.
“Hey.”
“...”
“What is this...?”
Ri Hyuk stared off into the distance and said.
“You know I can’t act. The PD asked if there was a role I could do well.”
“...”
“I imitated that scene on OnTheS. Maybe the director saw it and suggested I try it.”
I shot Ri Hyuk a glare as he explained it wasn’t his idea, then turned back to the TV.
I had thought he was embarrassed to watch himself, but he actually felt guilty.
Anyway.
“Ah....”
Seeing Ri Hyuk in his floral shirt with that familiar expression suddenly made uneasy.
“I don’t want to watch this.”
“Where are you going, hyung?”
Bi Joo gently smiled and grabbed .
“Bi Joo. I really can’t watch this.”
“ neither. They just told to copy it, so I did.”
Ri Hyuk again insisted it wasn’t his choice.
anwhile, on screen, a conversation continued between NewBlack’s leader Seo Wooju and the protagonist.
“I’ve heard that you, Seo Wooju, have the authority over participating in events like this.”
“That’s right.”
Seo Wooju laughed.
“My mbers tend to respect my opinion.”
He made an exaggerated expression.
“...Do I laugh like that?”
“Sotis when you’re bragging. You have a really annoying expression... But since Ri Hyuk hyung can’t act, it’s sowhat similar.”
“Bi Joo. Do I really laugh like that?”
Bi Joo pretended not to hear and laughed.
That was answer enough.
anwhile, on the monitor, Seo Wooju snapped his fingers.
“Music is about following visible colors. Ahem ahem—do you see it? The flow of this blue?”
My siblings applauded.
“It’s exactly the sa.”
“You always say that to us. Jiho, can’t you see that color~?”
“Isn’t it fun, hyung?”
As they laughed, on screen Seo Wooju checked his vibrating phone and Ri Hyuk began to back away hesitantly.
“Uh, what is it?”
Seo Wooju answered the call.
“Ri Hyun broke sothing again? And Bi Jun...? Oh, Bi Jun got lost, so they don’t know where he is.... Yes, and what is our Ji Hong doing? Eating. Is the food going down well?”
The siblings who’d been giggling suddenly wore stern and solemn expressions.
After ending the call, Seo Wooju spoke.
“There really is no one reliable except Ri Hyun.”
They all laughed and turned to soone cowering in the corner like a cat in trouble.
The flas in my siblings’ eyes burned brightly.
“It wasn’t by choice...?”
“...”
“You didn’t act because you wanted to. Then where did those lines co from? The writer must not have written them.”
“Calm down!”
The fourth sibling, indirectly dissing through drama, moved farther away from us.
Junhyun complained.
“When did I ever break things like that?”
“I don’t always get lost.”
“Do you think I’m immature all the ti? Why....”
From afar, Ri Hyuk said, “You’re distorting us!”
“Right!”
...As my siblings said those things, I stared at them.
The one who broke a tumbler an hour ago, the one who carries maps upside down, and the one who’s always immature.
Are they really wrong?
Just then.
“So, what are you going to give ?”
When the protagonist, who needed to win over Seo Wooju’s favor, clapped her hands, staff rolled in racks of floral outfits.
Seo Wooju sprang to his feet.
“Th-this is....”
“These are the new floral outfits for this season. I heard you collect floral clothes, Seo Wooju?”
“This is heaven!”
On screen he swooned with joy, and I stood up as well.
“Co here. You wrote those lines, right?”
“Oh, no!”
“Hey! Aren’t you going to stand there?”
“Ugh!”
Ri Hyuk threw a blanket at his face and dashed out of the rehearsal room.
“You stand there!”
“I only acted realistically! It’s fact!”
I chased after Ri Hyuk as he bolted.
Drama or not, I decided today I would deal with our fourth.
While NewBlack’s eldest and fourth were engaged in a chase,
Viewers were applauding Ri Hyuk’s codic acting over approximately three minutes.
“Ha ha ha hat!”
At first, they were surprised by Ri Hyuk’s sudden appearance with “Huh?!”
Then laughter erupted at the setup of him as NewBlack’s leader, Seo Wooju.
– so identical lololol
– He must have practiced that on OnTheS to fool the trainees? After watching this I believe it
– NewBlack characteristic: genuinely committed to imitating the leader
– (When Wooju accidentally lisped, the group mocked him in unison.gif)
– lol if I were Wooju I’d be banging on Ri Hyuk’s door by now
– It’s similar to the original but sohow even more annoying point, seriously lol
– I’m literally dying lol
While other idol fans watching live burst into laughter, the Sufle laughed in turns.
“They nailed the point perfectly.”
Although it was different from the real Wooju, it strangely felt similar.
Moreover, for the Sufle who knew the mbers’ personalities and habits in detail, it was even funnier.
After hearing Ri Hyuk’s ad-lib indirect disses of the other mbers and giggling, they spoke.
“Mom, the thing is Bi Joo....”
“Bi Joo must have gotten lost again~ The one called Bi Jun is Bi Joo, right?”
“Yes.”
“Ri Hyuk is so prim and subtly cunning. Ugh, he acts so annoyingly.”
When the Sufle, who was about to ask how Mom knew that, looked at their phone,
They saw a community post left open for lurkers.
– it’s amazing that non-NewBlack fans get all these jokes from just a cao lol
– they have such a unique image
– by now he must have been dragged off set by the mbers lol
– NewBlack is really handso. I didn’t expect Ri Hyuk to look this good on screen
– yes yes he holds his own even alongside top actresses
– if Ri Hyuk wasn’t so nasty, his visuals are really good
The Sufle blinked.
“What is this.”
They thought variety shows like Josehanna or Mif were where NewBlack was known, but
Talk of Ri Hyuk and NewBlack in a drama without warning was blooming everywhere.
“Are they really national idols...?”
Fans naturally focus on their favorites, but seeing ordinary people talking like this felt strange.
It was a different attitude than toward typical boy groups.
The change they had subconsciously sensed was now palpable, and Ri Hyuk’s cao scene ended quickly.
The topic then moved on.
– but why was Ri Hyuk in the drama today...??
– probably pulled in by the director’s connections
– I’d bet 500 won that NewBlack mbers don’t even know they appeared
– yes if they knew they’d have followed him to set to stop that
– wasn’t it just a cao..?
– but NewBlack is too big for just a cao, schedules would be insane
Opinions speculated there must be a reason for their appearance.
anwhile,
The mystery of Ri Hyuk’s cao was quickly solved.
– web novel based drama “I Destroyed My In-Laws,” flashy OST lineup including Cha Woo Hyun and Ri Hyuk announced
When that headline was posted as a community thread, viewers learned they were connected by OST.
“So it’s for OST promotion.”
Usually, each episode’s OST is released as part 1, part 2 with album art.
Seeing Ri Hyuk appear made it clear a new OST was releasing today.
Sufle, who had eagerly awaited their favorite’s OST debut, felt their hearts race.
“Wow.”
After the cao, the story began moving at a crazy pace again.
– the pacing is so refreshing lol
– must travel to Russia → next cut shows Moscow caption lol
– how far in the original story are we? Any cliffhangers?ㅠ
– plenty left lol the original author is said to have soda flowing in their veins so no worries
– it’s rushing along... if it keeps up it’ll be legendary dramaㅠㅠㅠ
– can’t wait for the revenge
– 22222 I’m waiting for episode 4
Episodes one through three showed the villains’ atrocities.
Before possession, the princess-souled daughter-in-law was ignored for her kindness, driven insane, imprisoned,
Her husband openly cheated,
They frad her for internal corruption, nearly killing her.
Though the protagonist, aided by the princess, proved her abilities by securing a difficult client and gained recognition, the drama’s essence was revenge.
And.
On a moonlit night.
A party was held in the front yard of the grand mansion.
“Yes! Chairman Kang Tae Gong is entering!”
As a famous announcer cao introduced him, a kindly old man with a cane appeared.
Guests all stood and applauded.
– I hate that chairman scum
– I never forget when he told the protagonist to just die in her coma
– wishing chairman Kang a long life
– ugh look that bastard is back
– we need a shotgun
Then the protagonist’s husband, nicknad Kang Gro for his trolling, appeared on screen.
Other chaebol guests also entered.
“I heard the youngest daughter-in-law is attending the party?”
“Really? That crazy woman....”
A whispering guest was elbowed, looked over, and gasped.
“That’s her.”
The protagonist stood there.
Wearing an elegant dress that left jaws dropped, she displayed refined beauty.
Her husband Kang Gro boasted, “That’s my wife,” as people admired her.
“Then, I’ll pass.”
“Uh....”
“Be careful. # Nоvеlight # You never know what crazy people might do.”
The protagonist stared as if slitting soone’s throat but walked gracefully, drawing murmurs of admiration.
“Wow...”
“She looks perfectly fine...?”
“Shh, soone’s listening.”
Then the protagonist approached the chairman and smiled.
“Happy birthday, Father.”
“Our daughter-in-law has co! Ha ha ha!”
Thus, the warm birthday party continued.
anwhile, a security guard patrolling the estate noticed a strange device in front of the underground vault hiding the chairman’s slush fund.
“This is unit three, unit three. I’ve discovered sothing odd!”
The BGM rose in tension.
The guards’ urgent moves contrasted with the wealthy guests enjoying the party.
“Hello!”
Ri Hyuk appeared and began singing the celebratory song.
Chairman Kang, loosened by a drink, danced along.
“Oh no... it’s a bomb.”
The guards hurried out of the mansion as the bomb’s tir ran low.
Then.
Fireworks prepared for the outdoor celebration launched with a turbulent BGM.
As the chairman smiled happily,
Piuuuu-ong!
Alongside fireworks in the sky, the ticking countdown of the ti bomb appeared on screen.
And.
Flas shot up from the grand mansion.
– incredible..
– it’s exploding
– it literally destroyed the in-laws’ mansion
– it was a detonation after all
– is it really going to blow???
At the enormous blast, the event descended into chaos.
While everyone fled, the protagonist quietly watched.
“Oh no. There...!”
“Father!”
As the vault containing the slush fund ignited, the chairman clutched his cane and collapsed.
While guests scattered, the protagonist turned calmly toward the burning mansion.
The burning in-law mansion.
A close-up of her eyes gleaming in backlight followed by her walking toward the blaze.
Not with the princess’s hesitant steps, but the original body’s determined pace.
With strength returning to her legs, she approached the flas.
A foreshadowing of the revenge to co.
“Oh...”
And a new BGM began.
A brisk yet grand piano and drum intro played, evoking a power-walking atmosphere.
The first step is frightening but
I have to move
Toward the heart
That I cannot reach even when called
With the protagonist taking her first determined step, the screen froze.
The music intensified.
We’ve waited long enough
It’s ti to walk again
With lyrics powerfully sung by NewBlack’s main vocalist, intercut with softly glowing images from this episode.
As production support logos and images flashed,
The preview for the next episode showed the protagonist rushing into the burning mansion to retrieve her father-in-law’s important belongings, earning his trust.
anwhile, the OST continued to play.
“...”
Across the nation, countless viewers, srized by the next-episode preview, had the OST indelibly imprinted in their minds.
It was OST part four of “I Destroyed My In-Laws,” titled “Walk Again,” sung by Ri Hyuk.
Right after the drama ended.
“Wow...”
We, about to log into a music site on our laptops, gaped in astonishnt.
On the portal’s real-ti search list, “I Destroyed My In-Laws” and related terms were skyrocketing.
Music sites were already in chaos.
“Have you seen this? Ri Hyuk hyung’s na is trending on the music site!”
“It’s real.”
We had expected a modest reaction since it was an OST, but our minds went blank.
It blew up.
As the in-law mansion blew up, so did the drama.
“Hey, this...”
Shortly after the drama ended, “Walk Again” was released and was also blowing up the charts.
We’d expected the song to perform well, but the synergy with the drama scenes was extraordinary.
By midnight, it had entered the real-ti charts.
“Guh...!”
The youngest exclaid as the chart graph plumted then skyrocketed, overtaking the number-one song “Fireworks.”
“Hyungs!”
“....”
“Fireworks finally lost!”
We cheered and embraced the bewildered Ri Hyuk.
“The song by the direct branch has gone viral!”
“Wow!”
After the TJ branch’s hit, now the direct branch’s OST was exploding.
