Chapter 496
“Did you see the comments?”
“Yes. I’m looking into it.”
The first ones to notice those reactions were the reporters who wanted to write articles about Seo-jun’s appearance on the show.
Seo-jun’s name alone guaranteed views, but they still had to find something different and special to talk about than other reporters.
The reporters quickly read the comments on [Chick Class in the Forest] episode 3 and started to investigate the cause. As they scrolled up, they found a mom cafe.
“…A mom cafe?”
They were puzzled by the unexpected site and squinted their eyes near the monitor. It didn’t change no matter how they looked.
Despite their confusion, the reporters continued their research based on the public posts.
“…Is this for real?”
They couldn’t believe it, but there were many related posts. Especially, more than half of the new comments on [JUN]’s mukbang video on YouTube were about children.
– He eats so well
-I’ve been showing him for three days and he’s eating three meals a day without missing any
-I never thought this coincidence would happen again after the baby mukbang
Some foreign language comments also caught their eyes.
Of course, they were also crying.
The reporters scrolled their eyes quickly.
It had been 20 years, but they couldn’t not know about the post titled [The Amazing Baby Mukbang That Makes Babies Follow]. Especially if it was about Seo-jun.
The reporters placed their hands on the keyboard.
[Mukbang 2? The Amazing Seo-jun Mukbang That Makes Children Follow!]
[The Baby Mukbang Has Evolved and Returned! Actor Seo-jun’s Mukbang!]
[How Old Is It This Time? Another Mukbang Made by a Second Coincidence!]
-Wow. What is this?
=It’s an upgraded version of the baby mukbang.
=So that’s why he agreed to do a cameo?
=22 I thought I would just watch casually until episode 24 when Seo-jun appears, but now I’m hooked and waiting for Wednesdays and Thursdays.
=33 Seo-jun has a great eye for works. They’re all my taste. I wish he would recommend some works when I watch them
= Me too
-I’m curious how the kids started eating so well.
=22 It’s probably because they see their peers eating, but what about this video? The age gap is different and he’s an adult. Why do they follow him?
=Son: It’s fun!
Me: ??Fun??
Son: It looks like a birthday party!
Maybe?
=It wasn’t that exciting of a video though.
=22 The background music was calm and he just ate quietly. He did eat deliciously.
-Huh? Then did the chick class also have a mukbang effect? Is that why the kids ate well like in the preview?
=That makes sense… But can you do that if you want to?
-Oh. The chick class video is up. (link)
=Is this the one-minute video that was floating around in the mom cafe?
=It’s different from Seo-jun’s mukbang because there are a lot of kids and it’s noisy
-But how old is this effect supposed to be?
=We have to analyze it from now on.
=A parent of a seven-year-old said they showed it with a desperate hope and they ate well.
=Wow. From 20 months to seven years old, that’s a huge increase, isn’t it?
=There’s no word that it doesn’t work yet, so it might increase more.
-My daughter is 19 months old and I was worried Now there’s no dark age
=22 My four-year-old was so picky and fussy, but today he ate right away as soon as he sat down
=The comments on the one-minute video and Seo-jun’s mukbang are all like this
=Foreigners are also increasing.
=They probably don’t know Seo-jun, but they must know the baby mukbang.
-I wonder how they feel when they eat.
=22 I don’t have any kids around me, so I’m curious if it really works.
=33 Maybe the secret of the mukbang will be revealed in the next episode?

“…Huh? What did you ask?”
Seo-jun rubbed his face with his hand. He felt like there was something on his face from his friends’ intense stares.
“No. I was just curious why the kids started eating so well.”
“Do you think we’ll have an effect too?”
Kim Joo Kyung and Yang Joo Hee’s words made the friends nod and laugh, and Seo-jun also laughed. Kang Jae Han asked with a curious expression.
“But Seo-jun, how did it happen?”
“Just…”
He couldn’t say that he used his ability, so Seo-jun dodged the question with a smile.
“I tried to eat as deliciously as possible. You know how people want to eat when they see someone eating well.”
“That’s true, but… You’re more than that. Did you see the views?”
“Yeah. The comments are crazy too.”
Seo-jun shrugged his shoulders at Han Ji Ho and Park Si Young’s words.
“I just ate, though.”
“Well. You’re not a superpower or anything.”
“There must be some factors that we don’t know.”
The friends nodded their heads. Seo-jun coughed lightly.
“But it would be funny if there was such a superpower.”
“Right. What are you going to do with a superpower that makes kids eat well?”
“A kindergarten teacher would be perfect.”
The friends burst into laughter.
“But I’m really curious. What does it feel like?”
“Me too. My mom said she showed me the baby mukbang when I was a baby, but I don’t remember anything.”
“Joo Hee, you too? Me too.”
The conversation that started with the baby mukbang turned into stories of their own baby days.
As the noisy lunch was about to end, Jeon Sung Min asked Seo-jun.
“By the way, when is the Babeltop shooting?”
“The week after next. It was supposed to be next week, but the director said he wanted to fix the set more.”
He didn’t have any other schedules and it was fine with him. It would be good for Seo-jun too if the quality of the work improved.
“Babeltop is so fun!”
“They all act so well too.”
The friends chattered excitedly about Babeltop.
[Babeltop], which aired up to episode 10 this week, was not only the first in ratings on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but also had a fairly high rating among other dramas on other days.
It was thanks to the people who got hooked on [Babeltop] after being drawn in by Seo-jun’s cameo appearance.
-Is this why he agreed to do a cameo?
=22 I thought I would just watch casually until episode 24 when Seo-jun appears, but now I’m hooked and waiting for Wednesdays and Thursdays.
=33 Seo-jun has a great eye for works. They’re all my taste. I wish he would recommend some works when I watch them
= Me too
-This week’s episode ended so abruptly. It was like a cut with a sharp sword.
=I’m looking forward to next week. How could you misinterpret the word meaning while interpreting…
=That kind of accident seems so realistic that my heart sank when I saw it.
-Wasn’t this contract important?
=Yes, it was very important!
=Oh my…
-Ah… I’m having so much fun these days. I watch Babeltop on Wednesdays and Thursdays, then wait for Friday and watch Chickvan on Saturday, then wait for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and watch Babeltop again.
=That’s my joy these days.
=But Chickvan is only eight episodes. It’s already half over when it airs tomorrow.
=Time flies so fast.
***
Saturday evening, 9 p.m.
As usual, countless ads passed by and the fourth episode of [Chickvan in the Forest] began.
It started from the last scene of last week’s episode.
The five children who got up from their chairs after wiggling their butts, escaping.
And the cast members who slumped their shoulders as they watched them.
“How about we let Seo-jun eat first?”
Heo Un Seong suggested that Seo-jun eat first. The scene appeared on the screen.
-Oh. That’s why he ate alone.
-I thought he was going to sleep.
=He came suddenly, so…
Seo-jun nodded his head and took his own egg fried rice and soybean paste soup and sat at the end of the long table that was placed vertically.
There were no empty seats on either side of the long table because the children had eaten there.
-I understand. They probably thought they would eat when they came back from playing.
The two children who stayed behind and ate diligently smiled brightly at Seo-jun. Their chubby faces looked so cute that he couldn’t help but smile.
“I’ll eat well.”
[(Sun)The invitation of the gourmet orc is activated.]
Seo-jun’s voice was heard. And there was a notification sound that only he could hear.
Seo-jun started eating as if he was in a mukbang video on his YouTube channel [JUN]. He ate very deliciously.
-I know that taste, so I’m more hungry.
-Tomorrow morning’s side dish is soy sauce eggs.
-Egg rolls and ketchup!!
-Thank goodness it’s not ramen.
=Seriously… If it was ramen, he would have boiled it and eaten it.
=I’m eating it right now.
=LOL
The children who were playing in the yard looked like they were bewitched by something and stretched their necks to look at the table where Seo-jun was. Then they approached the table.
-What is this? Is he the Pied Piper? His mukbang is that powerful?
=No, it’s not that.
=Maybe it’s because of the smell?
=There must be a special atmosphere on site too.
“Na Hee teacher!”
“Yes!”
Heo Un Seong and Jeong Na Hee quickly wiped the children’s hands. Park I Deun and Kim Ja Young brought warm food.
“Should we leave Seo-jun alone?”
“That would be better. The kids are all looking at Seo-jun teacher anyway.”
-They all noticed it too.
-How could they not? The kids can’t take their eyes off him.
-They say acting is different when you see it on site. I guess mukbang is too.
The children sat down at the table and looked at Seo-jun once and lifted their spoons to fill their mouths with egg fried rice.
Laughter burst out.
The adults who were happy to see the children eating happily helped the clumsy children with their spoons.
Thump! Roll roll. Thump! Roll roll.
Harang’s clumsy fork made the round sausages roll around, and Seo-jun, who had been smiling softly, took Harang’s fork instead and stabbed the sausages. Harang smiled and ate the sausage with a bite.
They looked so happy and joyful eating that it was the first time for the viewers too.
-Why am I crying?
-I’m happy too.
-Babies are the cutest when they eat.
=They are cute when they sleep too.
-It got serious all of a sudden in episode 2, so I was worried. But I didn’t know it would turn out like this.
=I wondered how they would get out of it too.
=I didn’t think there would be a mukbang 2 back then. It’s still amazing.
The children finished eating and got up from their seats.
The empty plates were so welcome.
The cast members looked moved and Seo-jun smiled brightly and said,
“Now you eat. I’ll take care of the kids.”
“Are you sure? It’s hard to do it alone.”
“Then I’ll do it with I Deun teacher.”
“Please eat first!”
At Seo-jun’s words, Park I Deun nodded his head and Heo Un Seong, Jeong Na Hee, and Kim Ja Young smiled and started eating. It wasn’t much different from the menu the children ate.
“What should we do?”
“First of all, we need to digest, so let’s do something quiet.”
It would be a disaster if they ran around right after eating.
Seo-jun and Park I Deun talked for a while and decided to have a music lesson for a while.
Seo-jun sat in front of the harmonium.
The harmonium, which was smaller than a piano, looked like a toy.
He opened the lid and saw white and black keys.
He put his feet on the two pedals that were shaped like 11 and pressed the right and left pedals alternately.
He felt the air coming in.
He pressed the ‘do’ key and heard a sound like dooo.
“Seo-jun teacher? Can you play the piano too?”
“Yes. I learned it while learning violin.”
“Wow.”
The three cast members who were eating at the table widened their eyes.
-Seo-jun can play the piano… no, the harmonium…!
-But if he learned it with violin, it means he learned it a long time ago?
=If he has violin skills, it must be amazing.
=;;;Don’t tell me;;;
-Why did he learn piano?
=This is my guess… to use it for acting?
=It seems right.
=I think that’s it.
Park I Deun, who was looking for something on his finepad, smiled brightly and put his finepad on the music stand.
It was a score with black lines and notes on white paper.
-Wow. What are they going to play?
-Classical?
-A self-composed song?
=Then Park I Deun wouldn’t have looked for it.
-What is it? I’m curious.
The title of the sheet music was not visible.
Seo-jun placed his hands on the keyboard as the audience waited expectantly.
His natural posture showed that he was familiar with the instrument.
He pressed the pedal and played the first note.
Ta-da-dan ta-da-dan-din.
The children, who had been curious about what the teachers were doing after a satisfying meal, brightened their eyes.
Their cheeks turned red.
The viewers, who had expected a classical piece or something like [Over the Rainbow], burst into laughter.
-What is this lol
-Right. This was supposed to be a kids’ show lol
-It’s obvious, but it’s too sudden and funny lol
A song that everyone had heard at least once.
The theme song of Penguin Cartoon flowed from Seo-jun’s harmonium. The children sang along excitedly, “Playing is the best!”
-But he plays really well lol
-Lol he switched to another song lol
-Cartoon theme song medley lol
Seo-jun followed the sheet music of cartoon theme songs that Park I-deun had found for him.
The children gathered around Seo-jun and Park I-deun and sang joyfully.
“Karaoke, go away.”
“Seriously.”
The participants, who had finished their meal, smiled warmly as they watched them.
“Encore! Encore!”
After playing two more songs in response to the children’s encore request (started by Park I-deun), the concert finally ended.
***
Seo-jun hugged Harang’s neck and patted his back. The other children also clung to Seo-jun’s legs.
Whether it was because of his ability, or because they were naturally affectionate children who gave their hearts in a short time, they did not want to let go of Seo-jun.
-The kids are so cute
-But I think I wouldn’t be able to let go of a teacher like Seo-jun either.
-He’s such a nice and cool teacher
The three participants comforted the children and Park I-deun picked up Harang. Harang sobbed as Park I-deun patted his back.
“Harang, you have to say bye-bye to Seo-jun teacher.”
“You guys too, say bye-bye.”
“Wasn’t the fried rice delicious? You have to say yes.”
The children nodded their heads with teary eyes and said bye-bye.
“Harang, be well. Eat well.”
“No! Bye-bye! No!”
-Lol he’s so cute
-Park I-deun’s eyes: Is this a scam?
-Lololol
“Harang, if you cry like this, teacher will be sad too. Teacher doesn’t like it when Harang is sad, and Harang doesn’t like it when teacher is sad, right?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Then let’s smile and say goodbye bravely. Teacher will also say goodbye bravely without crying.”
Some viewers groaned at the sight of Seo-jun comforting Harang with his teary eyes like chicken droppings. It was natural for them to feel tender.
“Bye-bye… don’t wanna…”
“Then, shall we say see you again?”
“Uh-huh.”
Harang nodded his head with his eyes still watery.
-Oh myHarang
-Park I-deun must be thinking: Is this for real?
-Lololol
“See you again, Harang.”
“See you…!”
Harang waved his hand as he watched Seo-jun leave.
He leaned on Park I-deun and sniffled.
Fortunately, his sadness did not last long.
He laughed as Park I-deun tickled him.
***
The participants had another meeting after putting the children to sleep.
The viewers laughed at Jung Na-hee’s remark that they were in the beauty world.
-It’s true lol
-Kids can recognize handsome and pretty people too lol
-They were staring blankly when they first met lol
-The boss is gone, but he left behind a powerful weapon.
=But usually when the boss gives a weapon to the villains, they fail lol
=Lololol
The next day.
They tried various ways to make the children sit down and Jung Na-hee tried to do a mukbang, but it failed.
-Where is Seo-jun’s mukbang?
=They didn’t know yet at that time.
That’s when Harang said something at the right timing, and the participants and the staff prepared a monitor.
Seo-jun appeared on the monitor.
“Junie teacher!”
“It’s teacher!”
The children flocked to the monitor as Seo-jun said “I’ll eat well”. The teachers smiled and helped the children with their meals.
Once again, the viewers gasped at the magical sight of the lively dining table.
-It’s amazing every time I see it.
-I wonder what the real reason is…
As they helped the children with their meals, Heo Un-seong suddenly opened his mouth as if he had thought of something.
“But now that the kids eat well, their energy will be… too much, don’t you think?”
!
The teachers, who felt like they could imagine the future, felt tears welling up in their eyes.
-Lol they will see the kids running wild lol
-Really, kids’ stamina is scary.
-What to do lol teachers lol
The screen darkened as it showed the teachers’ faces.
-Is it over?
-It was fun today
-There’s no preview for next week?
-Huh? There’s still time left, right?
The screen brightened again and showed the scene of the cartoon theme song medley concert.
“Let’s go brush our teeth!”
Heo Un-seong, Kim Ja-young, and Jung Na-hee took the children to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Park I-deun sat at the table as if he was eating.
Seo-jun was still sitting in front of the harmonium, fiddling with his PinePad. He seemed to be looking for something.
-Oh oh. Could it be?
-Wow!!
The quiet living room.
Seo-jun placed his PinePad on the music stand and put his hands on the harmonium again. He pressed the pedal and played the keyboard.
Ta-da-da-da-dan-
He started with Mendelssohn’s [On Wings of Song] and began to play.
The viewers marveled at his smooth fingers and sweet melody. Park I-deun gave him a thumbs up with a big smile.
The screen showed Seo-jun playing the harmonium.
The viewers couldn’t help but admire him.
-Look at that background. If you just add a faded effect, it would look like an old school music teacher
=He must have been the first love of many students. He would have received a lot of letters and gifts every graduation.
=Or maybe he would have played pranks with them too And every time he did, my heart would have thumped
=The description is too specific lol
-…Seo-jun teacher… do you… remember me?
Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only
=Don’t make me nostalgic lol
=This is how another first love is manipulated lol
Seo-jun’s playing ended when the children and the participants came out with surprised expressions.
He took his hands off the keyboard and smiled brightly. The episode 4 of [Chick Class in the Forest] ended with a cookie video of him.
