The Kpop Otaku's Dream

"So there was this day on set... (I turn to the make eye contact with the camera) Brilliant legacy coming outApril 25th on SBS. Please give us lots of love."

"Hey you can't just promote other networks on here !" Suk jin laughs

"Anyway, I ordered pizza for the crew and staff. When it arrived, it was all set by the table. Chae-won comes over and is like" I motion putting my hair behind my ear, and do a cold female impression " "Dylan, you mustn't waste your money like this, it's very irresponsible. You need to take care of yourself, us as actors we don't know when we will get paid again. Blah blah blaah" and I'm like yes noona, yes noona. I get reprimaned for a full 15 minutes.

Eventually, I'm called for my scene, so I run off and get into shooting go. About 3 takes later or like 20 minutes, I come back thinking i'll grab a quick bite and guess who I see pigging out. Noona finished a whole pizza! Guys! A whole pizza and this is after she scolded me too. You know what she said when I questioned her"

"No no no , what did she say?"

*Ahem* "I thought you said, I must save my money huh, and she was like "Well you spent it already, its not like me not eating is going to save you money" . At that moment I knew I lost. Her voice is calming and her aura is elegant but she's full of heodang (a person who is always a bit off and easily confused) charms."

"You just saved SooYoung's story she won't be edited out, SooYoung I think you need to thank dylan." Suk Jin laughs

SooYoung fakes anger and clenches her teeth, "Thank ...You...Dylan" She pronounces everything as clearly as possib;e

"No problem SooYoung-ah but you need to thank Chae-won too" I answer her with a smile. Looking to the front to catch a glimpse of her adorable gestures.

The rest of the introduction proceeds without a hitch as everyone gets there 20 seconds of TV time. The MC's do however pay more attention to others than some.

Finally its my turn again. I prepared a little something, so as per the script I will get to show of my skill.

"So Dylan. I heard you are a really good singer" The MC asks

"Yes, music has always been something I enjoy."

I'm handed a guitar and after 'warming up'/showing off with a few quick key progressions I get into position in the middle of the stage.

"This is a song, which I really enjoy singing"

I tap the base , 1,2 , 1 , 2 ,3 .

I strum the stings and an Autumn melody fills the room, making it serene as can be. We are transported from this cold studio into the night out with a loved one in front of a campfire watching the stars.

"It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart" I sing in a deep yet steady tone a perfect accompaniment to the acoustic setting.

"Without saying a word ... you can light up the dark"

"Try as I may I could never explain... what I hear when you don't say a thing" Pausing for a slight moment before speeding up the tempo ever so slightly

"The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall

Now you say it best ....when you say nothing at all"

I strum a bit more finishing the song neatly. Letting the remaining sound hover in the air before settling in to the hearts of the listeners.

.........

Applause rings out amid the shouts and cheers. Filling me with immense pride. The effort one puts in is never seen but the reward you get always justifies it.

"Waah Dylan, that was amazing. But I hear you have another song to play"

I nod my head, its time to show off my vocal range.

Putting a latin spin on proceedings, I do some quick vocal riffs. Ala Shakira

"ooh woah ooh woah ooh woah

gom se mari ga(aaah)han ji be I su-(uah) (there are 3 bears in a home)

a pa go(ooom)m(daddy bear)

um ma go(ooom)m(mommy bear)

e(eeee) gi gom (a baby bear)"

I start adding my own sexy flair to the classic korean nursery rhyme. The entire studio is shocked silent. A PD even did a spit take at the back once he heard the first line from my mouth.

" a pa go(ooooh) moon toong toong he (The daddy bear is fat)

um ma go(ooohwooah) moon nal sin he (The mommy bear is thin)

e gi go moon nu moo gi yo wo(ooooah) (The baby bear is cute)

ook hi chook jal han da(aaaah) (Well done)"

I wrap my latin influenced nursery rhyme off with the coolest of pose I can muster.

Turning my attention to the other guests, I ask "What you guys think" with a smug look on my face.

This causes an explosion of laughter. Even Chae-won can't control herself

The MC, Suk Jin, takes of his glasses to wipe a tear that has formed "Aaah Dylan, how did you come up with that" He asks

"Uhmmm too many people just do aegyo, so I wanted to kick it up a notch... Introducing Sexy Aegyo"
