Chapter 8 - D-8: They'll Know you

January 13, 2001

18:00 PM

Woohyun had arrived early at the CEO's house when he bumped into a ring light the CEO was setting up. "Oppa? What are you doing?" Woohyun said while taking off his jacket. "We're going to take some pictures now that will be released on your 18th birthday." The CEO said 

"Oh wow" Woohyun was already excited, even though the intention was basically to sexualize him. "Can I get ready now?" Woohyun asked, extremely curious. And the CEO agreed

18:10 PM

Meanwhile, back in the dorm, Jumin had just arrived from the supermarket when he opened his CyWorld and saw a post from Woohyun—a photo he himself had taken, from above, clearly naked and typing "20 day to my 18 birthday, are you ready? ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💋💋" And, of course, several comments from older men.

BlueSky72: "You're becoming a handsome young man... I can't wait until you're 18. 😉"

SeoulNight55: "Twenty days left? I've already marked the calendar."

MrGentleman1968: "Those lips are beautiful."

KingTiger: "Message me when you're finally eighteen."

CoffeeUncle: "You'll break a lot of hearts when you become an adult."

SilverFox: "You've grown up so well. Looking forward to your birthday."

MoonTraveler: "I wonder what you'll post on the big day... ❤️"

BlackSuit40: "Such a cute face. Can't wait to see more pictures."

"Are you here, Jumin? Come here!" Donghwa called Jumin to come to his room. When Jumin opened the door, Donghwa was sprawled on the bed, drunk, completely naked, but with the sheet covering his private parts. Jumin sat on the bed. "I can't believe Woohyun is actually encouraging these cruel comments..."

"He's too innocent" Donghwa stated while taking another sip of beer, "When he becomes like me, I want to see him continue defending these kinds of people." The liquid went down, barely burning Donghwa's throat. "Help me forget about this, Donghwa?" Jumin moved closer to him. "Okay, but today is an exception" Donghwa lifted Jumin's shirt and pulled him onto his lap. "Damn, you're hot today, I'll have to turn on the air conditioning."

Donghwa turned on the air conditioning using the remote control. "I'm just going to give you a handjob, okay? Because I'm tired too." Donghwa stated as he lowered Jumin's pants. "Alright..."

18:23 pm 

After finishing giving Jumin a handjob, Donghwa put on only sweatpants, no underwear underneath, he was too lazy, She walked over to the living room sofa, where she turned on the TV to the music channel. "Today marks exactly 4 years since the debut and disbandment of the most controversial and sexualized group in the world." The presenter was clearly talking about AD!, and that almost made Donghwa give up watching TV, but he kept watching

AD! was an independent boy group of 7 members that lasted from April 3 to August 28, 1997. They were known for having a huge age difference between the members, their members were Mr. Shin (who debuted at 48 years old), Yukhun (who debuted at 40), Seongbun (who debuted at 32) Kangne (who debuted at 28, was even accused of having almost the same stage name as Kangta from H.O.T, but there was barely time for him to be sued for it), Gregory (who debuted at 25), Sangmin (who debuted at 21), and of course, Donghwa (who at the time used the stage name Park Jimin, who debuted at 17, almost 18). They were also known for four of their members (Mr. Shin, Yukhun, Seongbun, and Kangne) producing instrumentals with rock elements. But the real reason they became famous was the extreme sexualization, uncensored music videos, and excessive drug and alcohol use. They say there's a recording where ALL the members raped Donghwa as his 18 birthday gift, but none of this has been confirmed. The reason for the disbandment was a performance on an SBS program in which the members performed naked, this was done as a form of protest because they weren't on the setlist, but the broadcast was cut off and the police were called, leading to the arrest of all members (except Donghwa) and consequently, the group's disbandment. 

 

"Why are they still bringing this up..." Donghwa gritted his teeth as the presenter continued to give information "And where are the 7 members of AD! now? This is a question many people ask, and today we will answer it."

Donghwa continued staring, this time ready to take revenge on them for that fateful day, then he picked up a camera. 

"Mr. Shin, whose real name is Shin Dokjae, now about to turn 52, has disappeared from the media, but according to some sources, he is currently working as a rap teacher."

"Han Yukhun, about to turn 44, as soon as he was released, married a non-celebrity seamstress, is about to have his first child, and is planning to launch his candidacy for federal deputy for the New Frontier Party"

"Yok Seongbun, about to turn 37 has left the entertainment industry, Nowadays he works as a geography professor at Korea University."

"Kangne, whose real name is Kang Taewoo, now 32 years old, lost the lawsuit that SM Entertainment filed against him for plagiarism and today works as an accountant."

"Gregory, whose real name is Jin Ganghoon, now about to turn 29, recently enlisted in the military and will be in the army band."

"Kim Sangmin, about to turn 25, work as staff for the girl group Baby V.O.X."

Donghwa turned off the camera, smiling afterwards, "They'll still pay for what they did to me..." He grabbed another bottle of soju, but only drank a little. "So far, little is known about the whereabouts of member Park Jimin, whose real name is Kim Beomseok, who will turn 22 in August; however, he has been identified by some sasaengs as "The future newest member of Mirae Entertainment's new boy group, which will debut in September of this year," the presenter confirmed.
