MBS’s Chuseok Special, Star Athletics Competition.

The broadcast, divided into two parts, aired on the day before and the day of Chuseok, and the first part had just finished, quickly becoming a hot topic.

This was largely due to the extravagant opening stage of Star Athletics Competition.

On top of that, Ha-eun's unexpected appearance, someone who seemed disconnected from the event, took everyone by surprise.

Moreover, she set a new record and won the gold medal.

“‘Star Athletics Competition’ Ignite appears, presenting a surprise full-stage performance”

“MBS ‘Star Athletics Competition’ actress Lee Ha-eun participates, breaking a new record in the sprint race with an overwhelming performance”

“Who will be the star of the unexpected twist in the upcoming second part preview of ‘Star Athletics Competition’?”

Less than an hour after the broadcast ended, internet articles started popping up.

Entertainment reporters from various media outlets, working hard even during the holiday, were typing away.

The Star Athletics Competition also stirred up the community.

It was no surprise, given that this event was unlike any other.

Among all the celebrities in Star Athletics Competition, it was only natural that Ha-eun received the most attention.

Although part two of the broadcast, which airs on Chuseok day, was yet to air,

Ha-eun’s presence had already made a strong impression in the preview, ensuring her dominance would continue.

The spotlight shifted to Ha-eun, especially in the archery segment to be aired early in part two.

Ha-eun’s careful attention to her image was already showing results, particularly regarding her appearance.

Perhaps because of that...

“Hey, Lee Ha-eun. You’re used to sleeping in a bed, huh?”

“How could you make a guest sleep on the floor?”

“Then... we can sleep together... right?”

“Hmm? What did you say?”

“...If you don’t want to sleep in the bed, just say so.”

Even while Ha-eun and Da-yeon were preparing for bed, nothing unusual happened.

And when the lights went off and both fell asleep,

The communities were still buzzing, especially about Ha-eun.

Start Again) Wow, insaneIs this really a 19-year-old’s body?It’s unbelievable, but yes, she’s 19...Uh, let’s stop right there.Lee Ha-eun got stunned after slamming into the mat, even Song Hyun-min was left speechless? If she had veered off course, she might have hit Song Hyun-min instead of the mat, LOL.Suddenly, that’s scary.Was she a Star Athletics survivor?The most mentioned name in Star Athletics Competition related communities was Lee Ha-eun.

Aside from special judge Song Hyun-min and his colleagues, no other celebrity was as famous as Ha-eun.

This year alone, Ha-eun had started with The Sunshine, released her first album as Pinocchio, and topped the charts.

In the summer, her movie Veterans grossed over 10 million viewers.

Given the increasing attention Ha-eun was getting, her appearance on Star Athletics Competition was a major highlight.

Winning in the first race with overwhelming dominance made a strong statement.

“There’s no more intense character than this.”

That was why Jeong Hee-soo, the PD of Star Athletics Competition, decided to push Ha-eun.

Despite being relatively young compared to other celebrities, Ha-eun stood out as unmatched by anyone else in the competition.

But in the end, the most important thing was the ratings.

Regardless of the screen time distribution among the contestants, securing good ratings was the priority.

Thus, Jeong Hee-soo PD decided to feature Ha-eun, using her image to its fullest potential.

He even placed Min Da-yeon in the audience, knowing it would bring in even more attention.

“Good decision with the seating arrangement.”

Ha-eun’s fanbase, growing alongside her incredible performance, became more passionate as she performed well.

So, the focus of Star Athletics Competition shifted to Ha-eun, especially for the women’s events.

Time passed, and finally, the broadcast of Star Athletics Competition part two began on Chuseok evening.

“Now, let’s begin the women’s archery competition─!”

The aired episode had a slight change in the event order compared to the recording day.

This was all part of the strategy to ensure Star Athletics Competition secured the highest possible ratings.

Originally, the men’s archery event was supposed to be shown before the women’s,

but with Ha-eun’s success being so prominent in part one, they decided to air the women’s event first to secure ratings from the start.

“Lee Ha-eun’s posture is perfect.”

“The bowstring doesn’t even tremble. She’s incredibly steady and calm.”

“Ten points!! As expected from Luna Enter’s ace!!”

The continuous praise from the commentators matched the undeniable accuracy of her shots, as she scored ten points on three of her four arrows during the archery preliminaries.

The crowd erupted into applause.

Then, the camera panned to show Ha-eun’s fanbase, sitting proudly in the stands.

“Lee Ha-eun! Lee Ha-eun! Lee Ha-eun!”

“Ha-eun is the best!!”

The camera, slowly moving with the use of a jib crane, showed the full view of her fans.

As Ha-eun took her final arrow,

The commentators once again hyped up the moment.

“Can Ha-eun hit another 10 points this time?”

“Honestly, Ha-eun has been so consistent with 10 points, but it’s actually really hard to do. It’s impressive.”

The giant screen in the stadium captured Ha-eun, one eye closed, completely focused.

As she released her final shot, the crowd held their breath in anticipation.

Thwack!

The camera lens shattered.

"Wait, what? The camera lens is broken!!"

"Lee Ha-eun just broke the lens!"

"It really did sound like the lens broke, right?"

As the announcers’ shocked voices echoed through the stadium speakers,

the crowd in the stands, shown by the jib camera, was filled with passionate cheers.

"Wow─!!!!"

"Lee Ha-eun is so cool!!"

"Ha-eun is the best!!! Kyaa!!!"

"Lee Ha-eun! Lee Ha-eun! Lee Ha-eun!"

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

When the broadcast audio was filled with the fans’ enthusiastic cheers,

the announcers’ voices, mixed with admiration, confirmed Ha-eun’s progression to the finals.

"Ten, ten, ten, and she finishes by breaking the lens! Lee Ha-eun!"

"Wow, this is truly amazing. So overwhelming."

"No, shouldn't Lee Ha-eun be in the athlete's village, not here?"

After showing a great performance in the sprint race and archery, Ha-eun caused quite a stir in the community.

Her status was like that of a superstar in the community.

She’s using an aimbot by herself, LOLHow is she shooting arrows so well? The Star Athletics archery might be a bit weaker.Then why can't the other athletes shoot like Ha-eun?You’ve figured it out, come to the Ha-eun gallery.Ha-eun’s eyes closed, so beautiful, ㅠㅠㅠ Seriously, she's super pretty.I feel like I'm looking at a photo shoot.Did some psychopath just come to mind? Press ' ' if you did. This jerk just—If Yoon Seung-jae was pulling a bow at me, I'd probably shit myself, ㅇㅇ...Sky Girls <<< What’s that face Ha-eun is making next to her? Looks like she really felt the wall.Ha-eun’s archery prelim gifs I mean, this is straight-up bullyingHa-eun, stop doing this here and go to Taereung, please ㅠㅠㅠEven as the preliminary rounds for the other groups finished,

and the men’s archery began airing after the women’s archery, the buzz about Ha-eun continued.

In a sense, it was momentum.

Since Ha-eun had already become ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) a hot topic in the community, posts about her were automatically being uploaded.

It was also true that no other athlete had shown a performance better than Ha-eun's.

However, after the men’s archery prelims had fully ended,

and the commercial break began,

a post in a community somewhat distant from the one covering Star Athletics Competition began to gain attention.

This was especially true in the Illusionary Realm related community.

Title > Is that Nael shouting from the stands in Star Athletics?

The person sitting right next to Min Da-yeon in row B

I keep hearing their voice, it totally sounds like Nael, right?

(Volume-up version of the cheering voice MP3 file)

(Nael broadcast clip)

Compare the voices.

Wait, this is definitely Nael, right?

What’s going on????

───────────

YeahWait, it really sounds like Nael?Is this for real?Hearing Nael’s familiar voice in an unexpected place caused a stir in the community,

and soon, photos of Nael’s red medicine began circulating.

This was possible because Nael’s red medicine was actually closer to blue medicine.

With a petite height slightly below the average for women and an overall cute face, the community's opinion was overwhelmingly positive.

As Nael’s red medicine was revealed, and his fame skyrocketed in the Illusionary Realm community,

the fact that Nael was a huge fan of Ha-eun became clear.

It was easy to prove Nael’s presence at the Star Athletics venue by the mere fact that he was a fan of Ha-eun.

So, just as the Illusionary Realm community became chaotic with the talk about Nael’s red medicine,

one Illusionary Realm viewer, who had a feeling something was off, posted something that would later cause a massive stir.

But why does Nael <<< call her Ha-eun, not Lee Ha-eun? Are they close?A post that would later lead to a huge wave was uploaded.

Although the post was simply raising a suspicion,

it would become the first clue that began putting the puzzle pieces together about Diah. The post began circulating in the middle of the community.
