I have always liked taking the initiative wherever I go.
Even during my trainee days, I was the one who gathered opinions when we prepared a stage, and after being selected for TNT, it was the sa, so I was often brought up as a candidate for leader.
Anyway, I was the type who could not feel satisfied unless I was the one moving things forward.
But.
“Number 3 in each squad is the squad leader!”
I did not want this kind of initiative.
“......”
I smiled as I looked at the squad leader armband in my hand.
Ah.
How is it possible that I do not even like this font?
I stared at the white letters that read “Squad Leader” and let out a sigh.
“Ugh......”
When you co to reserve forces training, you first form squads.
There are drills that have to be done by squad. And usually, these squad leaders are chosen from the people standing in the first row.
I had deliberately lined up cleverly in the third row, but at the words that number 3 was the squad leader, I gave a faint smile.
“Fighting.”
The middle aged n on my team clenched their fists and laughed loudly. They looked pleased that it was not them.
I smiled too.
“Fighting......”
A man from my squad patted my shoulder in encouragent.
“They said it will be random from tomorrow. Hang in there.”
“Thanks, hyung.”
Another person laughed loudly and said,
“Wooju, hang in there!”
“Yes!”
Judging by the conversation, it sounded like we were close, but in fact, these were people I had t for the first ti today.
The reason the way we addressed each other beca like this was simple.
“Wooju... Wooju 씨.”
“Hyung, no, Wooju... 님?”
People would try to call casually, then flinch and belatedly try to add formality.
So I just said we should all speak comfortably to each other.
I held out my hand to the youngest reserve soldier in our squad.
“Jaehun.”
“Yes, hyung.”
“You absolutely have to post a review online. A story about becoming hyung and dongsaeng with Sun Wooju at reserve forces training... You have to post it like that. Say that seeing in person, Wooju is insanely handso. That you were amazed by his character.”
“I will definitely write it.”
The other guy nodded with shining eyes.
Whenever the dia hypes up as a national idol, it is embarrassing and awkward, but in monts like this, it feels good.
Being able to beco instant close brothers with soone you just t in ten seconds really is the best advantage.
“...Numbers 1 through 100, move to the next training ground......”
While the instructor on the auditorium stage explained the order of today’s training, I glanced at my watch.
They said it would end around 3:40 p.m. if we finished quickly.
It already feels like ti is not moving.
So I have to do this for several days.... Maybe full mobilization would have been better.
“Then we will move!”
With the sound of chairs scraping, the unmotivated reserve soldiers stood up.
When we went outside, the sunlight was blazing.
“Right.”
I nodded and thought of our second mber.
Even if he saw a single flower blooming in a trash heap, he would beam brightly and say, “Oh my, a flower has blood!”
I decided to learn from that positive mindset.
“Shall we go?”
If the Military Manpower Administration gives you lemons, you make lemonade.
Is not one of the downsides of being an entertainer that you are trapped in the Bermuda Triangle of dorm practice room stage and have difficulty communicating with people outside?
On the other hand, one advantage of reserve forces training is that you can et various people!
I made up my mind to use today as an opportunity to listen to the public’s opinions and smiled brightly.
“......?”
I said let us go with a smile, but the people in my squad were staring at blankly.
“What is it?”
“Ah. At tis like this, you really do seem insanely handso.”
At the aning implied in those words, I narrowed my eyes.
“Then normally...?”
“Ah. It is just... um... well, you are handso normally too.”
“......”
“Oh. There it is, the spaceship expression.”
They burst out laughing, saying my spaceship expression had appeared, and I grumbled as we moved.
From then on, whenever there was a chance to talk, I exchanged opinions with squad mbers or various people sitting around.
“When you said you were releasing an English song, was there any resentnt or anything?”
“Huh? Why would that make us upset?”
“I saw on the internet that so people were saying you caught the Arica disease......”
“Oh, co on!”
The people in my squad waved their hands as if asking what nonsense that was.
“That is all pointless talk, so do not listen to it. The people who leave malicious comnts there are not regular people to begin with. They are just trolls.”
I first gathered opinions about the English song, and the reaction seed calr than I expected.
The majority opinion was, ‘If you are promoting in the U.S., what is wrong with releasing an English song?’
Well. Rather than that, it would be more accurate to say they were not that deeply interested in our singer activities.
If a NewBlack song cos out, they listen to it at least.
As I listened to opinions like that, suggestions poured in.
“Now that you released an English single, how about putting out an international album, hyung?”
A college student on our team who was a pop music fan said.
“That is how non Arican artists break in, right? You test the waters with an English single and then boom! International album, beco a world star. Whew.”
It was actually a project our company was considering as well.
However, preparing our full album for next spring ca first, so it had been pushed back in priority, but it was sothing that needed to be pursued at least once.
I nodded at people sharing their opinions here and there and diligently took notes.
Of course, it was not free, so I had to answer questions too.
“What does it feel like walking a runway at fashion week?”
“I am completely out of it. I just walk while trembling.”
“You were insanely good for soone saying that......”
“I am strong in real situations. Haha.”
I resolved people’s curiosity by answering questions I could reasonably respond to.
What does it feel like to hit number one on Billboard, how does it feel to receive a reserve forces notice after hitting number one, and so on.
The last question is that person Satan?
“Oh right. I heard you beca a LeBlanc ambassador.”
“Ah. A global ambassador?”
They had heard the news that was reported recently about my ambassador role.
“When you do that, do you get discounts when you buy LeBlanc products? I am curious about that.”
The eyes of the office worker uncles gathered on .
“No. There are no discounts.”
“Ehh....... They should at least do that. Those Europeans.”
I burst out laughing at how they seed more disappointed than I was.
As we talked in that pleasant atmosphere, the training went by quickly, and then the long awaited live drill approached.
“Hahaha.”
“Hahahaha!”
As we arrived at the grenade training ground, the helted n burst into laughter as if sothing had just co to mind.
“......”
For a mont my face grew hot, but I cleared my throat.
The caption from a ga floated up in my head.
[Kim Deoksun’s Man → Kim Deoksun’s Man (Grenade)]
I rembered the video of self detonating while trying to throw a grenade in a ga.
Even the noncommissioned officers and soldiers controlling the training were twitching at the corners of their mouths, so it seed there was truly no one who had not seen it.
“Hoo......”
The reserve soldiers called before threw the blue practice grenades, and bang! bang! sounds went off.
The grenades exploded weakly and emitted yellow smoke.
If you throw the grenade into the pit visible at a distance, you pass, but it seed harder than expected, and quite a few people failed.
“Next!”
I gripped the blue grenade I had been issued.
Then I moved my body, recalling a scene from an Arican military drama I had seen on MyTube recently.
Pull my arm back and throw with force.
“Ooooh!”
The grenade flew in an arc and landed inside the pit, and exclamations flowed out.
Bang!
With the yellow smoke rising behind , I gave a greasy smile to those watching .
“That is right. Real life is different from gas.”
Seeing everyone clutch their stomachs and burst into laughter made pleased.
Am I becoming a proper variety entertainer too?
I returned to my seat and approached the people who were laughing at . Since gas had co up, there was more I wanted to say.
“Tomorrow at 6 p.m.”
“......?”
“An advertisent content where I teach professional gars how to play gas will be uploaded on another MyTube account.”
“That sounds insanely fun......!”
At the sight of the uncles staring with sparkling pure romance comic eyes, I smiled in satisfaction.
At this level, was it not a successful first day of reserve forces training?
Today was truly rewarding.
I stretched pleasantly and asked soone nearby for the ti.
“By the way, what ti is it now?”
“It is 11 a.m. Halfway done.”
“......”
While Sun Wooju cheerfully ran around on day 1 and day 2 of reserve forces training.
Posts began flooding internet communities.

Seeing those humorous posts, Souffle laughed loudly.
Ah. This is fun.
Usually when a celebrity goes to reserve forces training, it is just a few photos posted.
But the way all sorts of joke posts go up over the smallest things, it was a fandom life where laughter never ran dry.
The community where the fluffy Souffle gathered was full of energy.
And among them, there was one topic drawing the most attention....
– But what is the content that is supposed to go up today..?
