≫ 4:48 Who is the orange-haired board guy?

Ta-da~ it was a banana!

└ What even is this LMAO

└ People were seriously shocked lol

└ Center emperor class 인정, he stands out wherever he goes

≫ Say you like Kang Giyeon’s mischievous look

Say you like red-haired pretty boy Kang Giyeon

Say you like Kang Giyeon in shorts and white socks!!!!

└ Just say you like Kang Giyeon

└ [OP] I like Kang Giyeon

└ LMAOOOO

≫ I think I’m going to die because of Juu

He shows up looking like grass-flavored cotton candy, but the legs he uses to ride the board are way too manly and it’s messing with my heart

I’m watching him ride the board but my forehead hurts, feels like it’s going to cave in

└ Park Juu riding a board with that calm face should be banned by law

└ We also need a law that stops him from holding a falsetto for more than 5 seconds...... there’s a person trapped here

≫ Ha... ss—

Cheonghyeon’s hair color is so pretty and the outfit fits perfectly, but is it another leaf cut again?

Is he going to keep growing it out......ㅠ I thought he’d come back with a new hairstyle

└ His updated profile photo has short length, so promotions will probably be short hair!!

└ So he’s giving us both styles. Sorry for doubting you, Cheonghyeon, you’re a god among idols

└ This idol pulls off retro and street fashion insanely well......

≫ Kim Iwol doesn’t look like it, but pink suits him really well

This is ridiculous

└ That’s it? You just end it with “ridiculous”?? LMAO

└ No but it suits him so well it’s actually ridiculous lol

└ The dignity of an irregular cat-ear man

└ LMAOOOO

≫ Let’s share geek-chic Seongbin pics

I trust my friends’ loyalty

Everyone drop three each before you leave

└ This is insane, I need to buy the album

└ There’s no album...... it’s a digital single

└ ???? Then there’s no photobook either......??

└ That’s why all the Sparklers became damp fireworks

≫ What Spark probably meant: a ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) fated meeting between Spark and Sparklers, the beautiful memories we’ve shared, a promise to stay together

What Sparklers understood: a confession

└ You said you’d become my place to rest first, this marriage started because of you

└ I just came back after listening to the song and I’m overwhelmed

└ LMAOOOO

└ Even the OP wasn’t sure, that’s why they added (probably) lol

≫ There isn’t a single bad Spark song

There might be differences in taste, but none of them feel lacking

└ Usually when you aim for mass appeal, you get “what is this song?” reactions, but Spark doesn’t get that, it’s kind of amazing

└ + Their songs don’t have spring or autumn. It’s either a winter sky or a summer sea

└└ That’s actually so true

└ Honestly the chorus is broken OP lol

└ Kim Iwol and Lee Cheonghyeon must have it good. What does it feel like recording with Jeong Seongbin and Park Juu?

└ Apparently they don’t even consider recording as work lol

└ That’s real madness

└└ LMAOOOO

≫ Playlist reveal from someone who loves Spark’s early-winter freshness

Royal version “Flowering”

with list

“Hideout”

“Speaker”

“Flowering”

“Winter Night”

“End”

It’d be nice to sneak “Hideout” and “Speaker” in between a bit more......ㅎ but I recommend this order for now!!

└ I was sad my favorite song wasn’t there, but “In My Office OST” and “Third Letter” both feel like summer anyway lol 인정 winter playlist

└ Thanks for the rec

└ Wow! This is such a good list! To show my appreciation I’ll make sure to squeeze in “Hideout” and “Speaker” throughout! OP, is this right?

└└ You better bring playlist proof screenshots

└└└ LMAOOOO

≫ Manager Go’s Instagram LOL

Cheering on the young masters’ party LOL

└ Young masters LOL

└ Managerㅠㅠ come back......

└ How much must he have liked Iwol for this guy to post that LOL

≫ These lunatics

“At That Time” at the end of last year was pastel-toned, and now at the end of this year it’s vivid

└ Even if fans do nothing, the boss just gives us everything

└ The boss must not be making any profit

└ Their hair roots definitely aren’t surviving

└ tq lolㅠㅠ guys please take care of your scalpsㅠㅠㅠㅠ

It had been a while since the fandom felt this lively again. The weight on his chest felt a little lighter.

Then, the next thing to do was.......

"Hyung, we’re about to start the live!"

"Yeah, I’m coming."

...We should focus on the other content the fans have been wishing for.

I hurried out into the living room. Everyone was already seated around the table, with tablets or books spread out in front of them.

A new item for Sparklers preparing for the college entrance exam—‘Study With Me’—had begun.

It wasn’t like this hadn’t happened before, but lately Spark had been especially active in putting out content.

Not long ago, the announcement for Spark’s first concert had gone up. Even though the album was a single, there were two music videos, and the dance and song cover videos they’d been uploading since debut were still being released regularly.

There was also speculation that a season’s greetings package might come out this year. Last year had been their debut year, so there hadn’t been any merchandise. Since there hadn’t been many additional goods released either, most people thought a season’s greetings set was highly likely.

Not trying to milk the fans dry was something to welcome. Still, when everyone else could buy something and you couldn’t, it felt a bit disappointing, so Baek Haewon hoped at least a season’s greetings would be released.

UA also wasn’t caught up in any overwork controversy regarding idols. Most of the content uploaded between official schedules consisted of previously unreleased unedited videos or casually taken photos during breaks. It meant they weren’t constantly filming brand-new content every time.

≫ Sparklers with mature fandom awareness

When leaving comments on February-related videos or articles <<<<< minimize mentions of personal/family matters, focus on praise, promotion, and positive comments

This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t moderate people saying nonsense

If the heavy, sad mood lingers too long, the past will get more attention than current activities, that’s why UA and the members keep releasing content to shift the atmosphere

When updates on legal action come out, go to those articles and subtly show you’re watching, and on other videos, ONLY talk about things related to the video

Don’t go around asking people to acknowledge how much our boy suffered xxxxx

There’s nothing to gain from that, at this point there’s no one who doesn’t know how hard February had it

Fans should live their own lives and take care of their mental health too, okay??

We know fireworks are good at uniting, so I trust everyone to act with sense

└ No need to market pain, there’s plenty to sell without thatㅇㅇ Let’s not spread wounds when there are so many strengths. But idiots spreading rumors can get wrecked

└ I’m another fandom, but what I envy most isn’t idols not causing scandals, it’s how united the fandom is...... Even if idols mess up, if the fandom is aligned, you can issue statements or mass actions, but when fans start fighting each other lol

└ Probably only possible when there are a lot of experienced fans. Time doesn’t betray

└ Side note, is “February” a censor too? Isn’t it too easy to guess?

└└ February weather, February holidays, February exhibitions—the big three are protecting us so it’s fine

└└└ LMAO

└└└ LMAO

Baek Haewon agreed with this opinion. So he focused on living his real life, collected exactly three PDFs whenever he got too angry, and spent his limited free time enjoying fandom activities instead of dwelling on sadness.

Even today, Baek Haewon went home from school with his bag full of problem sets.

Normally, he would only bring what he could manage, but today he was full of motivation. After all, he had a study mate joining him.

≫ @spArk_official

For the youngest members and Sparklers preparing for the college entrance exam

Spark is here with you!

Let’s...... study together......

※ Those reading books or working are also very welcome!

There were six of them. There couldn’t be more reassuring support than that.

After getting home and washing up, it was time for the live. As a debut fan, Baek Haewon knew full well that this timing was all calculated.

He turned on his tablet on one side of the desk and waited. Soon, the screen lit up.

『Is the stream coming through okay?』

Jeong Seongbin asked, touching the edge of the screen as if adjusting the phone. The thought that the blond Jeong Seongbin he had once seen in person a year ago could now only be seen through a screen made his heart ache at the harsh reality.

『As announced earlier, today we’ll be having a study session together. Please introduce what you’ve brought one by one.』

『I...... brought my overdue English homework.』

『Juu, your hand should be on the other side for MeTube.』

At Jeong Seongbin’s words, Park Juu quietly pulled his bare hand back from where it had been resting in front of the workbook. From a fan’s perspective, seeing Park Juu’s tray-sized hands and deep palm lines was about a thousand times more enjoyable than any problem set. Still, Jeong Seongbin’s warm consideration was too cute, so it was forgiven.

『I’ll be working. What kind of work is confidential!』

Kim Iwol said that, and thankfully, his complexion looked good. Even if something was wrong, he wasn’t the type to show it, but judging from the relaxed atmosphere around him, things seemed to have improved somewhat. Moments like this made it clear that their eldest really did have the best stamina in the team.

I should tell Baek Haein to collect more hate-comment PDFs.

On the day Kim Iwol’s family issue broke out, Baek Haein had been furious. Baek Haewon had taught him how to collect PDFs as “a good way to help Kim Iwol.”

After that, whenever Baek Haein had nothing to do, he collected PDFs as naturally as breathing. No one knew how many reports he had submitted, but every time he turned on his computer, his wallpaper was filled with PDF files. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Baek Haein had played a significant role in UA actively announcing lawsuits against malicious commenters.

『I took a peek from the side, and it’s real work. Since we can’t share the screen, I’ll monitor to make sure he’s not slacking off!』

Lee Cheonghyeon said brightly.

『Even though I’ve got my own problems.......』

Then he suddenly grew gloomy.

I get how you feel. I’m opening my workbook right now.

『I also brought English homework.......』

『I have something to report to Sparklers. Did you know Kang Giyeon originally tried to bring a gem cross-stitch kit? I was honestly speechless.』

『That’s why I brought something else.』

Kang Giyeon, who didn’t seem particularly interested in the exam.......

『What did you bring, hyung......?』

『A book, maybe?』

『Why a book?』

『I borrowed it from Lee Cheonghyeon.』

......and Choi Jeho, who clearly had no interest in studying, were both being broadcast as-is. Separate from the content itself, it became a question of how many pages Choi Jeho would actually read.

『Seongbin hyung, you’re working too, right?』

『Yeah. I’ll be organizing the notices we received from the company!』

『Did more come in after yesterday?』

『A lot.』

『Whoa.』

Kang Giyeon shut his mouth tight.

『I have to study.......』

『You’re basically the member who fits the purpose of “Study With Me” the best.』

No wonder Lee Cheonghyeon had been sitting unusually close to the camera. He complained that if he got something wrong while solving problems, it might be broadcast live.

『Today’s rule is simple. While doing our individual tasks, if someone loses focus, the remaining members have to support them so they can continue studying in the best environment possible.』

『If we ask for late-night snacks, will you make them?』

『There’s only cabbage in the fridge, is that okay......?』

『Not okay.』

『Juu already looks like he’s planning to fail.』

Park Juu avoided Kim Iwol’s accurate jab.
