Three days ago, De1's performance at Inkigayo was a huge success. The number of views for both music video and live performance video on Youtube skyrocketed overnight. Afterwards, many offers arrived at LightUp Entertainment, wanting De1 to perform, appear on TV shows, advertise business products, and many more.

Moreover, each one of us have significantly increased in individual popularity. Since Inkigayo, I still see GIFs of me dancing, specifically how I leaned my head left and right repeatedly while grooving to the beat. I've been told that it became the highlight of the whole choreography. I have Sungho and the choreographer to thank for giving me that part.

 

Heechul : This is normally when we call Jooheon, but he is unable to attend today.

Hani : Correct! He has another schedule to attend to. To replace him, we brought a very special guest!

 

Defconn and Heechul acted surprised by Hani's announcement. They all can definitely see me from the side!

 

Heechul : Ah that's right! Isn't he Dahyun's friend?

Dahyun : That's right! We're very close. He is one of the coolest idol I know!

 

Hearing her say that, I got on my knees and covered my face. It wasn't only embarrassing, but also intimidating. I'm here on Weekly Idol's 'Idols are the Best!' corner to replace MONSTA X's Jooheon who couldn't attend.

 

Defconn : Who is he?

Hani : He has become a rising star through a love song, but with a rare new concept called 'Paris Love'. Recently released the song 'Alleycat', quickly gaining attention with his head dance, please welcome, De1's Jinho!

 

Everyone clapped as I walked in, but suddenly, music started playing. It was the song, Mr. Saxobeat. I was very surprised. Did they want me to dance?

I didn't think about it much. I immediately did the Usher Glide and landed at the middle, in front of the others. I followed up with some 'pop & lock' moves. The others were cheering with amazement.

Once the music ended, one of the cast, Got7's Jackson, came towards me.

 

Jackson : Excuse me, but don't you think you're taking this too seriously?

 

I laughed, but at the same time, was taken aback. Heechul and Defconn came forward to me to shake hands. Afterwards, I joined in the group.

 

Heechul : Wah... his dance was American style! He did the Usher Glide.

Defconn : Which one?

 

Heechul looked at me in response, signalling me to do it again. I didn't understand it at first.

 

Jinho : Ah! My bad!

 

I was taken by surprise again. I immediately did the glide dance, but everyone was too busy laughing to my reaction. Defconn scolded Heechul.

 

Defconn : Yah! Because of you, his first words were "my bad"!

 

Everyone laughed again, including me. I just realized that myself. Heechul immediately bowed towards me.

 

Heechul : I'm very sorry, Jinho-ssi.

Jinho : It's okay, sunbaenim. Thank you for complimenting me!

Defconn : Why don't you introduce yourself to the viewers?

 

I looked directly to the camera and properly introduced myself.

 

Jinho : Hello, everyone. I'm De1's leader, Jinho. Thank you for having me here today. I'll work hard to show how charismatic I am.

 

The others clapped after I finished my introduction.

 

Defconn : Okay! Let's take our seats.

 

Everyone took their seats. I sat between Hani and Jackson.

 

Heechul : All right! Now, let's get ourselves familiar with the leader of De1, Jinho!

 

We clapped together. I felt very nervous. I rarely appear on variety shows. I'll try my best to show my funny side!

 

Heechul : Jinho-ssi, is it true that you only know Dahyun, out of everyone here?

Jinho : Yes, sunbaenim. We're pretty close.

Defconn : How close are you two?

 

Dahyun looked at me, worried about what I might say.

 

Jinho : We used to call each other, but I've been pretty busy. This is actually the first time I've seen her in a long time.

Dahyun : That's right! We haven't talked for a while.

Heechul : Oh! Wait a second! Do you miss him then?

 

Everyone giggled as me and Dahyun got a little embarrassed by Heechul's question.

 

Dahyun : A little...

 

She said it in a cute way. Everyone screamed, satisfied with her answer. I covered my face. It was too embarrassing for me.

 

Hani : So you two are really close! Is there a way for us to become closer to Jinho-ssi, like you are now?

Dahyun : For girls, I don't think it'll be a problem.

 

I was shocked when she said that. I wanted to say something, but I didn't want to be seen as rude.

 

Hani : Why is that?

Dahyun : He is a flirt. He's already friends with half of TWICE's members.

 

Everyone was surprised and started teasing me. Jackson, who was sitting next to me, looked at me with a serious look on his face. I couldn't help laughing off this situation.

 

Jackson : Is it true?

Jinho : ... yes.

 

The three hosts clapped as they were having fun. I tried to appeal to Jackson by acting cute. I was worried he got mad and really believed that I am a flirt.

 

Defconn : Wah... he was acting like a sheep earlier, but he's actually a wolf.

Heechul : Should we see how he flirts with girls?

Hani : With me?

Heechul : No. We have a girlfriend right here!

 

He pointed his hands towards SinB, who was sitting next to him. She was dumbfounded.

 

SinB : But we've never really me
