Dawn of Apollo Chapter 5

Special commentary

[Manager Park Yunsu is back in the studio and he does not look pleased with what transpired involving Ms. Kim, his second-in-command.]

YUNSU: That little puppy...I'll talk to her later.

[Hyuntae's hand shoots up.]

HYUNTAE: I have something to say about the latest chapter!

YUNSU: I'm talking about my other puppy, Hwang Hyuntae. Stand down!

HYUNTAE: Did anyone give you permission to write Sunny and Leader like this? What I mean is - this - 

[Hyuntae's hand must be tired as he is shaking the novel violently. One of Yunsu's eyebrows goes up.]

HYUNTAE: How could you say that Sunny thinks, he has no family? That's rude! Well - in the first place - you inserted Sunny's real brother into this narrative. Im Taewoong from APL Boys. 

YUNSU: So we did.

HYUNTAE: It's bad enough that he's being randomly written into books after [sorry, Hyuntae's a little confused here...we're not airing speculations and false rumours on this broadcast], but now apparently, his fictional-brother-but-actual-IRL-life-brother j-just...disowns him? What?

MINHO: I have an objection too.

[Now both of Yunsu's overly tweezed eyebrows are elevated, needlessly drawing our attention to them. Seriously, what's with his eyebrows? Is this what he does to relieve stress on the toilet?]

MINHO: I think it's irresponsible to write about Leader's family. 

YUNSU: Hey. Now. Just hold your horses.

Leader - Jungmo - gave us his full and unconditional blessing to write him like this. All right? And all the details - fiction. 

JACOB: Tch. It's more like you fudged around the edges. 

Next thing you know, you'll be saying you did him a favour.

YUNSU: ...Jacob??

[Sunny and Jungmo alone are quiet. Hyuntae looks at Jacob, and suddenly without provocation, Jacob drops the remains of his novel on the ground! Well, we're sure that this is some sort of bizarre Hyuntae-instigated mind control. Jacob Lee, lead visual and the pride of our company, would never do such a thing.]

JACOB: Maybe we should stop doing these corners for a while. I'd be worried about saying the wrong thing...giving the writers new material...you know? 

YUNSU: Pardon me?

You want to run that by me again, human retriever? 

HYUNTAE: Curious overuse of canine nicknames. Is that why Beagle Kim is like that? 

YUNSU: Like what??

HYUNTAE: Well, I assume "Beagle" is not her baptismal name?

YUNSU: ...I never called her that!! She - 

MINHO: I think you've used your voice enough today, Manager Park. 

Our group won't stand for bullying or pressure tactics.

As those who came before us once said, we hate all kinds of violence.

YUNSU: Minho...all of you, just...simmer down. All right?

This is not the time...to...

...All right. Fine. You want to play the hero so badly?

[Curiously, at this point, a few of the boys accidentally drop their mics, and Yunsu does as well. It is quite unusual that this would happen all at once, and we promise to resolve the issue by the next installment.]
