Seleste's own content for the start of the school year,

The biggest difference in this content is that the members freely set their own high school student characters and act as such.
In short, everything, such as Yoo Min-ha's cheerful model student concept, Heo Yu-bin's timid loner concept, and Song Hyung-bin's sly worm concept, was created through the members' own choices.
The moment they were given the freedom to choose, a worry arose in Karis's head.
What kind of character should they create to effectively draw aggro?
Among the Seleste members, the one who draws aggro the best on variety shows is naturally Kang Si-yoon.
He is the one who created numerous famous scenes while showing off his extraordinary madness.
He always thinks about how to tell a gag that Sleeves will like and how much to make to show his presence.
However, in order to not fall behind Kang Si-yoon, Karis also had a secret desire for more screen time.
An instinct engraved in his DNA since his days as crown prince.
He always has to be the center of attention and prove his own worth.
So, up until now, Karis has taken up a lot of screen time in their own content and YouTube entertainment shows, showing off his entertainment skills.
Because Karis was like that, he was deeply troubled.
What kind of student can make people laugh and show off their presence?
After thinking about what would fit his personality and behavior, he came to the conclusion that the 'Stormy Transfer Student' concept was the best.
When creating the real-world setting, Karis read comics in his spare time to keep alive the concept of an 'otaku who likes webtoons and web novels' that he personally wrote.
Thanks to that prior input, he was able to come up with this idea.
"I'll ask you again. Who's the strongest guy here?"
And while saying this line, Karis was having a lot of fun.
"Huh?"
"What, what did you say?"
"Hey, he looks really scary."
The members revealed each other's concepts during the premeeting.
However, they didn't ask for the detailed details.
None of the members expected Karis to act like that.
In other words, from here on out, only the members' 100% pure reactions and ad-libs came out.
"I, I'm not! I've never fought before!"
"I only studied......."
Yoo Min-ha and Song Hyung-bin turned their gazes to Kang Si-yoon, who was relatively free-spirited in his attire.
Then Kang Si-yoon waved his hand and made a fuss.
"Me? Not me! I've never smoked a cigarette, drank alcohol, or hit anyone in my life, so why are you looking at me!"
"If not you, who is the best here? It definitely can't be Yoo-bin!"
As Song Hyung-bin said, Heo Yoo-bin had already lowered his gaze and was trembling.
He seemed to not want to make eye contact with Karis, who boasted a fierce gaze.
Chae Eun-gyu, the head of student council, turned his head to a specific side of the classroom.
"Of course not the head of student council, so what's left is......."
Everyone in the class looked at Ji Yoon-chul, who was lying face down and trying to sleep.
Feeling the warm gazes of those around him, Ji Yoon-chul, who had been lying face down without moving, slowly raised his head.
Then he looked straight ahead with cold eyes.
"...What is it?"
"You? The strongest guy in this class."
"...Well."
Ji Yoon-chul stretched leisurely.
His long arms and legs stretched out. It was like a black cat stretching out its entire body luxuriously.
"What if it's true?"
"Looking at your confidence, it seems to be true."
Karis laughed heartily at Ji Yoon-chul's indifferent words.
"What's your name?"
"...Ji Yoon-chul. More importantly, your speech is really weird."
"You don't have to worry about that. Alright, Yoon-chul. Let's compete later. Who is the true owner of this class!"
"...If I don't want to?"
There was something the members would say every time they thought of him.
Compared to before, Ji Yoon-chul has really grown a lot.
When they first saw him, he barely showed any emotion, was expressionless, and barely spoke. He had changed.
Now, looking at the youngest member who was ad-libbing with Karis with a very relaxed and calm expression, all the members of Seleste thought this.
'Yoon-chul, you've really grown a lot!'
Karis, who heard Ji Yoon-chul 's provocation that wasn't provocation, raised the corners of his mouth and laughed even louder.
"You really have guts. First, I'll give you a passing grade."
"...What's so important about getting a passing grade from you?"
"Hahaha! Very good. Then let's have a go!"
At that moment, the front door creaked open.
"Oh, I'm tired of the meeting. I'm tired of it. Now, we're going to have an assembly, so sit down! Everyone standing there, sit down!"
"The teacher is here!"
"Hey, sit down quickly! What are you doing!"
The homeroom teacher of Class 1, Grade 2, who had a familiar face, entered the classroom, complaining about the meeting.
As the absolute power of the school appeared, Karis, who had been radiating a rough aura, ran around to the only remaining desk.
"It's already the start of the school year, time flies. Okay, I'm going to call attendance, so everyone, focus."
"Hey, teacher! Teacher!"
"Huh? What is it?"
Just before the homeroom teacher called attendance, Kang Si-yoon raised his hand with sparkling eyes.
"Have we seen you somewhere before? Your face looks so familiar."
"Oh, oh! Now that I think about it, you look similar to the teacher we went on our school trip to Jeju Island with before."
"Okay, okay, okay! Everyone be quiet! Why are you talking so loud in front of the teacher!"
This time, Seleste's manager, Yeo Chang-min, who was naturally acting as a teacher, hurriedly shouted to prevent a clash of world views with
"Calling attendance. Kang Si-yoon!"
"Yes~!"
"Don't say yes~, say yes, briefly!"
"...Is this the military, by any chance?"
Regardless of whether Kang Si-yoon found fault or not, Manager Hyung continued the roll call.
"Song Hyung-bin!"
"Yeess."
"I told you to keep your answers short! Yoo Minha!"
"Yeseng!"
"It's not yeseng, yes! Yes! Ji Yoon-chul!"
".....Yes."
"It's too late! Chae Eun-gyu!"
"Yesb!"
"It's not Yesb, it's Yes! Karis!"
"Here."
The manager hyung, who had been finding fault with each member's answer, paused for a moment, doubting his ears after hearing Karis's extraordinary answer.
Then he called his name again.
"Karis?"
"Here."
"No, why are you speaking in English! I am telling you to speak in Korean, Ko.Re.An!"
"Is there a problem using English?"
The members couldn't hold back their laughter as they watched Karis continue to act in a really sly manner.
Meanwhile, the manager hyung was on the verge of destroying the worldview.
"You're usually so good at Korean, so why are you -!"
"Did we meet before?"
"Ah, no, that, why, we did! When you transferred and greeted me!"
"Oh, I remember."
Manager Hyung barely managed to keep the worldview, but he couldn't come to his senses because of Karis's pace, who still boasted fluent English skills.
"Now, won't you speak in Korean?"
"Hmm, I guess we can't communicate in English. I understand."
"Huh....... I'll call you again, Karis?"
"I am here."
"Why is a student speaking informally to the teacher!"
Manager Hyung grabbed his forehead and waved his hand, then just moved on to the last student.
"Heo Yubin."
"Yes, yeess."
"Stop hesitating and just say it once! Phew, anyway, everyone is here. The first class starts at 9, so get ready before then, and the assembly is over!"
The homeroom teacher's assembly, which looked somewhat sloppy, was over.
Before the first class started, the students of Class 1, Grade 2 enjoyed their break time.
"Hey, Yoon-chul, now is the time. Hurry up and come up to the rooftop."
".....Not coming."
"Hahaha! You look scared, don't you?"
"Stop saying that middle schooler-like line and sit down. I'm going to sleep."
"Oh, middle schooler-like!"
Karis tried to call Ji Yoon-chul up to the rooftop to have the conversation with him earlier, but he retreated after receiving an unexpected internal injury from the youngest.
As he sat down on the chair with a blank expression, Yoo Min-ha and Chae Eun-gyu moved next to him.
"You didn't dye your hair, did you? You're a foreigner, right?"
"Huh, of course. It's my entire hair that I've had since I was born."
"Then where are you from?"
"I wonder if you know Estonia."
"Oh! I know!"
Upon hearing the word Estonia, Song Hyung-bin adjusted his glasses and pulled his chair closer to Karis.
"It's one of the three Baltic countries, right? Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The capital is Tallinn, right?"
"Oh, you must know a lot about world geography."
"Of course. I've studied world geography beforehand."
Meanwhile, Yoo Min-ha was secretly opening Karis's heavy bag.
"Hey, there's a ton of stuff in your bag! What's this?"
Yoo Min-ha, who was looking inside the bag, took out a gripper that fit perfectly in one hand.
"The grip is an essential item that I always carry with me. I have to train constantly."
Laris easily caught the grip and showed off his strength.
Yoo Min-ha then said with bright eyes that he wanted to try it too.
"Oh, oh! It's really tight!"
"Of course. I set it as tight as possible."
"How strong are you?"
"...Huh."
Taking it back, Karis smiled confidently.
"This is the level that the strongest guy in school can do."
"Oh, come to think of it, are you really going to fight Yoon-chul? Really?"
"Well, that guy seems scared already."
Ji Yoon-chul continued to lie face down, not caring about what others were saying.
I should say that he is one of the people you see often when you go to school.
Chae Eun-gyu, the head of the student council, shook his head and stopped Karis.
"No. I can't tolerate fighting as the head of the student council."
"Then how are we supposed to decide who is stronger?"
"We have physical education later, so can't we do something then?"
"Oh, physical education."
Karis smiled cheerfully and showed his confidence again.
"Sure, I can flatten that guy's nose during that time."
"What are these books?"
Yoo Min-ha, who was still searching through Karis' bag, pulled out a few books with unusual titles this time.
"What does it say?
"Those are the books I usually enjoy reading. Have you heard of light novels?"
Karis's otaku side that comes out when you forget.
Webtoons and web novels can only be viewed on mobile phone apps, so they can't be put in a bag.
That's why he even prepared Japanese books to bring out his character.
Song Hyung-bin burst out laughing after seeing the light novels.
"You really prepared well, didn't you?"
"Of course. Good luck only comes to those who are prepared."
"Are you addicted to that strange way of speaking?"
"Where is the addiction to speaking? It just comes naturally."
"Wow......."
"Isn't that an addiction?"
While they were talking like that, the bell that signaled the end of break rang loudly throughout the school.
The people who were standing returned to their seats, and Yoon-chul, who had been sleeping, also raised his head.
After a while, the homeroom teacher who had left earlier came back into the classroom.
"Huh? What is he writing?"
"Ability evaluation. Pa....... Ge?"
He wrote
