“Why should Caesar get to stomp around like a giant, while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? What’s so great about Caesar? Hmm? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar. Brutus is just as smart as Caesar. People totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar. And when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody, huh? Because that’s not what Rome is about. We should totally just stab Caesar!”

“You shall not pass!”

The script looked easy enough and practicing with Moonbin only made the whole thing a funny procedure in itself. Ban be damned, she at least got the chance to flex her skills as a streamer in this context all over the place. Yuzu lived to entertain others and combined with Moonbin’s chaotic energy, the two were bound to create something that would either leave everyone floored with laughter or both of them kicked out of the room for not taking this seriously enough.

Standing in the audition room with him together, cards in hand to have some sort of guidance that they agreed upon, the rookie trainee was relaxed and laid back, waiting for their cue to begin.

“Good Day to you all! I’m Choi Yuzu,” she began, letting Moonbin introduce himself before she continued. “and we’re here today... well why are we here today, Moonbin-ssi?” She questioned in a joking manner, letting Moonbin explain that they were going to teach their viewers famous kpop dances as she rocked back and forth on her heels, nodding her head along.

“The Hallyu is turning into a tsunami at this point so us humble trainees are here to provide you the content you seek out on the internet, easily for you to access and copy! Always remember- it looks easier than it is!” Sarcasm strong she flashes a thumbs up to the camera, wide grin on her lips. Moonbin goes on to explain what song they picked and what part of the dance they were going to teach their viewers before Yuzu continued along.

“But wait- what if someone can’t keep up?!” Being the stupid one in this scenario is something she doesn’t mind, Moonbin proceeding to explain how they would show the steps, repeat the sequence slowly and then go for the normal speed all while yuzu parts her lips and nods her head in understanding, being her usual expressive self. “I see, I see. And then we come up with catchy names to make the steps more easily to memorize?” A random, unscripted idea she just came up with tossed into the room she can’t help the mischievous glint that appears in her eye and is easily mirrored by Moonbin who simply follows along. 

And so they were doomed.

Explaining choreography was easy enough but to try and do so when your partner came up with random, ridiculous names that were both innovative and fun it made the whole experience ten times better. They were doing a nice back and forth going through the moves, dancing them together smoothly and counting properly in between their laughter and ridiculous antics. 

Only when Moonbin came around with “BWA BWA BOOM!” did Yuzu double over in legit laughter, using her cards to gently smack his head in typical Japanese slapstick comedy humor. “What is that?! That’s not even a proper name! You lose,” she comments in an off-handed manner but of course the competitive partner in crime of hers picks up on it immediately, successfully turning it into a challenge that continues to go on and become a legit sub-theme through the rest of the script.
