My phone’s ringing. I don't know who it could possibly be — all my members are here watching "My Robot Girlfriend" and Manager-nim just left half an hour ago, so she shouldn’t have a reason to call. My parents never call this late, unless it’s an emergency. I rush to fish my phone out of her pocket, elbowing Lua in the ribs in the process. I look at the screen: “Thank God” — it’s not my parents, but also “Oh ” — it’s Manager-nim. I jump up and run into my room and shut the door before I swipe the screen to answer. "Hello Suyeon! I've got some good news for you!" As usual, Manager-nim doesn’t give me a chance to even ask what’s up before she starts talking at me. Fortunately, this time she sounds extraordinarily happy, this must be very good news. Her excitement is contangious — I pace the room, too excited to sit down, even before she finishes giving me the news — Weki Meki now has a fanclub name and official colors! "That's amazing news!" I say when Manager-nim finally stops to breathe. "It actually ties in to something the members and I were talking about the other night: We wanted to do a Vlive expressing support for all our fans. You know, something like 'Whether you're a boy or a girl, gay or straight, Korean or international. . . whatever you might be, Weki Meki supports you and you should support each other.' Maybe we could do that in conjunction with announcing the fandom name?" "I see what you did there," Manager-nim says, chuckling lightly. "I can't make any promises — I have to see what the big bosses say — but if you record your message and send it to me, I'll see what I can do, and release it to the fans if I get clearance. But you've got to be ready to record a different version without that particular message." — I roll my eyes, wondered how many more ways Manager-nim can come up with to keep from saying "gay" or "LGBT" — "Do we have an understanding?" "Yes Manager-nim! Thank you Manager-nim! I've got to go tell the members about this great news! Bye!" I run out of my room, slap off the TV, and stand in front of my members. Before they even have a chance to protest that I turning off the show, I start squealing, too excited to talk. "Aieeee! Everyone! We've got a fandom name and official colors!" The video opens with me in the middle of the screen, surrounded by my members. It’s taken us about ten minutes to write up the script for our Vlive and to gather a couple of props, and now it’s time to record it, and then hope that Manager-nim can get the big bosses to approve it. "Annyeong, everyone!" I begin, smiling a genuine smile, not the fake smile we’re trained to give if we don’t feel like smiling. "Recently we got a letter from a fan named Ji-Min. She had a lot of really nice things to say, but she also asked 'When are we going to get a fandom name and official colors?'. I told her that as soon as we knew, we'd let you know. And now we know! Our fandom name is: Ki-Ling!" All the members join in to say the fandom name with me. "That's 'Ki' as in Weki Meki and 'ling' as in darling. The Ki-Lings are the people who love Weki Meki, and who Weki Meki love. t's also a play on 'keyring' — we're the keys and you're the rings that hold us together." "And our official colors are. . ." Sei rushes in from one side, wearing a bright red shirt, calling out "Cherry tomato!" "and..." Lucy rushes in from the other
