The live chat count rapidly climbed. The number of viewers for Visible Radio noticeably increased as the second part approached.
[Siyoon: Siyoon’s Begin Again. The second part features the ice princes from Winter Wonderland, Days! Who wants to play with us? Come here, come here~ We’ll be back after the break.]
Announcing Days’ second part appearance, Siyoon’s Begin Again wrapped up the first part. Siyoon took off his headphones, chatted with the producer, then smiled brightly.
His gaze shifted beyond the producer’s shoulder. Siyoon waved.
The camera angle changed, capturing the whole studio. Days entered one by one in casual clothes.
Siyoon stood up to greet them. When the nervous Days bowed in sync, Siyoon bowed back.
The members barely settled with the producer’s mediation. Positioned on either side of Siyoon at the center, members of room 1 and room 2 split left and right.
Thirty seconds before part two started, the members, wearing headphones, exchanged serious looks.
[Siyoon: Siyoon’s Begin Again. The first guest of the New Year is the monster rookie born in winter from ID, Days! Welcome~]
[Group: One, two, three. For your day! Hello, this is DASE!]
Led by Minsung’s count, their team chant marked Days’ first radio broadcast.
[Siyoon: That booming sound. You can already feel the rookie spirit. This is your first radio broadcast since debut, right?]
[Group: Yes, that’s right.]
Siyoon said he would ask each member to introduce themselves; Minsung started.
[Minsung: Hello. I’m Minsung, the leader of Days.]
[Yulmu: I’m Yulmu, the tallest member of Days.]
[Cheong: I’m Cheong, Days’ visual maknae!]
[Yunyeon: I’m Yunyeon, Days’ center.]
[Jihan: I’m Jihan, Days’ rapper.]
[Baekya: I’m Baekya, the voice of Days.]
The introductions made a round and returned to Siyoon. He laughed, saying with so many members, even a few words each take a while.
Next was a brief guide on how to watch Visible Radio and support info. Siyoon, having completed his task, warmly welcomed Days again.
[Siyoon: Actually, I met you all for the first time today. I only heard rumors about these amazing friends debuting but never crossed paths at the company.]
[Minsung: That’s right. We really wanted to meet you too, senior.]
[Siyoon: Thank you. When I left the dorm today, my AIM members told me to tell you how it went if I met Days. Maybe they’re watching Visible Radio right now.]
Surprised by Siyoon’s words, Days looked at the camera. Starting with Minsung, their heads bowed like a wave.
[Siyoon: User 5552 asks if these are the legendary Imjingak idols? User 1094 says Days’ voice is amazing~]
[Group: Thank you~]
[Siyoon: The comments on Visible Radio are huge. Song Jihyun says Days are so handsome~ Kim Youngbo says they came to see rookie spirit. Respect!]
Siyoon mentioned Days’ debut stage was trending online and asked if they knew about it.
Jihan locked eyes with Siyoon for a moment. He shivered slightly and leaned closer to the mic.
[Jihan: Yes. Many people around us talked about it, so we know. Thank you very much.]
His mid-low voice sounded nice. But his nervous expression and the quickly rising chat revealed most found the contrast between his chic look and awkward behavior adorable.
[Siyoon: I wasn’t there, but I saw it too. I heard the temperature was minus 30 degrees that day. Wasn’t it cold, Baekya?]
[Baekya: Ah, yes. I warmed up vigorously before going on stage, so I wasn’t cold during it. But... honestly, I don’t remember what state of mind I was in.]
The members agreed with Baekya’s words. Siyoon found them cute, saying they must have been very nervous for their first debut stage.
Next came one of Begin Again’s corners, .
Upon Days’ confirmed appearance, Siyoon said they collected questions from fans beforehand, but the sheer volume made the writers struggle to narrow them down.
[Siyoon: We picked mostly repeated questions from the comments. The most frequent was about first impressions of members. How was it?]
He asked them to pick just one memorable person due to time constraints.
[Minsung: The most memorable person is definitely Baekya.]
[Siyoon: Baekya~ Why?]
[Minsung: He was the last member to join. Also, when I met him in the practice room, he was eating something with his cheeks puffed out.]
[Cheong: Right! A hamster!]
Cheong backed Minsung’s comment. Siyoon naturally passed the question to Cheong, guessing his pick would also be Baekya.
[Cheong: I was really sad that day, but when I went to the practice room, there was a surprise hamster! Hey! It was small, so I thought it was my little brother, but it turned out to be a hyung, which was a shame.]
[Baekya: …….]
[Siyoon: Baekya, what were you eating then? I thought eating was prohibited in the practice room.]
[Baekya: Sorry. That day was hectic, so I didn’t get to eat a full meal. But luckily, I had some choco puffs in my pocket...]
Baekya’s answer sent the chat flying with comments like “cute and eats the same stuff as me!” and cries of solidarity.
Reading some short comments, Siyoon then asked the remaining members questions.
All unanimously picked Baekya. At this point, Baekya picked Yunyeon and Cheong for having the flashiest hair.
[Siyoon: Next question. Many asked about how you got cast at ID. How was it?]
[Yulmu: A friend was going to the ID open audition and asked me to come along. I got lucky when a judge asked me to sing once I was there.]
[Siyoon: So you came through an open audition, known for its brutal acceptance rate! Anyone else?]
[Yunyeon: Cheong and I also came through open auditions.]
[Cheong: Yeah. But why you? You were already at ID.]
Cheong’s random comment made the chat flood with question marks, but Siyoon’s control calmed the mood.
Yunyeon loved dancing since childhood and begged his parents to take him to auditions.
Cheong’s story was similar. Wanting to be a singer, he came alone to Korea. He was a Korean-American from California.
Siyoon then asked Minsung.
[Siyoon: How about you, Minsung?]
[Minsung: My grandmother’s house is in Gimcheon, famous for grapes.]
At the big annual grape festival in Gimcheon, Gyeongbuk, he sang and was spotted by a casting manager visiting from hometown. The story made Siyoon and members burst out laughing.
[Siyoon: What about you, Jihan?]
[Jihan: The company contacted me after seeing photos I took with a friend. They said I could learn rap for free if I came…]
Chat flooded again.
Jihan expressed gratitude to ID for letting him learn what he loved and debut with the members thanks to the early contact.
Chat flooded with “You were just used,” “An angel,” and similar comments.
[Siyoon: Lastly, Baekya. We’re very curious about your casting story.]
[Baekya: I was eating P*Chuu at a snack bar near school.]
[Cheong: What P*Chuu? You eat that?!]
Cutting Baekya off, Cheong shouted, looking seriously shocked for some unknown reason.
Siyoon’s eyes widened a bit, asking what was going on. The returned question was:
[Cheong: Why are you eating P*Chuu? Huh?]
[Baekya: Uh? They sell it a lot at snack bars…]
[Cheong: Savage!]
Cheong’s horrified reaction made Baekya freeze.
Meanwhile, others who understood burst out laughing. Everyone except Baekya and Cheong, including studio staff and listeners, laughed.
