Idol of the Heavenly One - Chapter 119.2
Myeong-hyeon: What is it?
I-rip: These days, I take a lot of photos to send on Bogle for the fans.
Myeong-hyeon: Oh, okay.
I-rip: But I don’t really know the fans’ tastes. I carefully send photos where I look really handsome, but they just compliment them and don’t seem to particularly like them. They seem to prefer photos where I look funny, a bit ugly, or where my face isn’t fully shown.
Myeong-hyeon: Why do you think that?
I-rip: Those are the photos that get used a lot as profile pictures, and fan accounts go crazy over them. I wonder why.
Myeong-hyeon: Isn’t that just a misconception? Fans should like the handsome photos too.
I-rip: No. Look, in the chat, photos where I wear a hat and tilt my head are called legendary.
Myeong-hyeon: Are you saying you look ugly? No. Joo I-rip is handsome.
The two pondered for a while, wondering why fans do not prefer the handsome photos. Then Baek Jae-heon appeared in the live chat.
[Baek Jae-heon joined the live chat]
[Baek Jae-heon: Boyfriend pics.]
I-rip: Wait, what did Baek Jae-heon just type?
Myeong-hyeon: Boyfriend pics? What is that?
I-rip: If they are boyfriend pics, you should look more handsome. That boosts fans’ morale.
Myeong-hyeon: True.
[Baek Jae-heon: They prefer casual everyday photos.]
I-rip: Casual everyday?
Myeong-hyeon: Daily cosplay.
I-rip: Huh? Isn’t that wrong?
[Baek Jae-heon: If you pose seriously, it looks too much like a celebrity, so fans prefer more ordinary-looking photos.]
I-rip: Wait, I don’t get it. They like us because we are idols. Why would they prefer ordinary-looking photos?
Myeong-hyeon: Exactly.
[Baek Jae-heon: No.]
The two men could not understand at all, and Heon finally did some explaining.
Baek Jae-heon: What the fans like is not just ordinary, it is “like ordinary”!!!! The main version is extremely handsome, but the photos must look casual and relatable. That is why they prefer those. Even if only the eyes or hands are visible, it still shows handsomeness. That is why these kinds of photos are good for casual idol content.
Then Heon suddenly disappeared, but left photos:
[Baek Jae-heon: (Photo)]
[Baek Jae-heon: This one looks too celebrity-like.]
[Baek Jae-heon: (Photo)]
[Baek Jae-heon: But this one doesn’t show the face well, so it doesn’t feel like a celebrity, more like a boyfriend.]
[Baek Jae-heon: This is the kind of photo fans would want for profile pictures or backgrounds.]
He represented fans’ preferences perfectly.
Myeong-hyeon sent a very handsome Han River photo and said it looked too celebrity-like. Baek Jae-heon then sent the photo where Myeong-hyeon was lying on the bed with only his eyes showing, saying this is the type of casual photo fans want. Both photos were originally sent by Myeong-hyeon on Bogle.
I-rip: Ah, I think I get the idea.
I-rip: But wait, Myeong-hyeon’s example? Did you take both of these, Baek Jae-heon?
[Baek Jae-heon: No.]
I-rip: Then where did this come from?
Myeong-hyeon: That was the photo I posted on Bogle yesterday.
I-rip: Really?
I-rip: Baek Jae-heon, do you subscribe to Myeong-hyeon’s Bogle?
Myeong-hyeon: Well, sometimes it felt like Jae-heon was the one.
I-rip: Seriously?
[Baek Jae-heon left the live chat]
I-rip: Wait, really??
Myeong-hyeon: Yes, really.
Fan chat exploded:
[BestHorse: ????
PeachTea: What is happening????
Lipja: ?
CheonHwaBaekJa: ????????
PleaseSleep: ???????????
LoveIsNoisy: Really???????]
It became established that Baek Jae-heon subscribes to Myeong-hyeon’s Bogle, taking over Twitter trending topics immediately.
Baek Jae-heon Bogle, Myeong-hyeon Bogle, Baek Jae-heon subscribes, Myeong-hyeon subscribes.
BaekCheon fans: This is terrifying.
The writer: This is terrifying.
