As Emi approached the fan, she immediately noticed the sign that read: Emi’s Dance Challenge is Number 1!
Emi: You’ve seen them?
Fan: Yes! I watch your videos whenever they are uploaded. I can’t wait for next week’s upload after watching the first episode. Can I get a picture with you, Lia, and Kai?
[Emi called over Lia and Kai back out]
Emi: He watches the channel and wants a picture with all of us.
[Lia and Kai were somewhat taken aback with the fans request. They had not made any announcement that Emi was debuting on their channel as they wanted to keep that separate, but it was bound to happen.]
Emi: What’s your name?
Fan: Ren, my name is Ren.
Emi: Thank you, Ren, for being there since the beginning. I hope I can make you proud. Hopefully, whenever we do our next livestream, we see you there. We have to get going, but I will cherish this picture too.
[Emi, Lia, and Kai ran to the car and waved specifically at Ren as they drove off, who was cheering with his friends.]

Arriving at the Central Park concert location, they noticed the large crowds of fans ready with their gear and banners.
Emi could hardly believe that she would be introducing and speaking with a Korean Pop group this early in her career, let alone one that she recently became a fan of.
Before entering the staging area, Kai had Emi change her outfit to one suitable for the concert. Lia added a bit of pop to her makeup and completed the look with some lavender ribbons strewn through her braid.
“Em, let’s go!” Charles popped his head out of the staging area.
“What the hell, you’re the cohost?” Emi ran over to the stairs. Charles pointed to the front right of the stage and saw Auntie Suk Yong, Mimi, and Trish at the front of the crowd.
“Wait, Lia and Kai kept this a surprise. God, you do not know how relieved I am that you are the co-host. My stomach has been in knots the entire time. Thank you!” Emi excitedly hugged him as they were handed the mics.
The show director gave them their instructions as well as when each of them were going to be interviewed on the side as the main act would take their intermission. Charles was here promoting his new movie with his co-star, Yara. Emi was to be interviewed again on her own as well as introduce the K-Pop group.
Director: Broadcast starting in 3, 2, 1 [applause was cued]
Host 1: Welcome back to GMA, we are eagerly awaiting the setlist of the worldwide phenomenon, BTS.
Host 2: We have some help in introducing them. Please welcome the stars from the upcoming teen romance novel to hit theaters next month, Charles and Yara. [The crowd applauded as they came onto the stage and waved to the audience] Also let’s give a round of applause for the newest TV star, whose show the Ancestors premieres tomorrow night. Let’s welcome Emi Kim.
[Emi walked onto stage waving to the audience and gave a bow to the fellow actors and hosts she was on stage with. Charles showed his explosive enthusiasm for Emi as she walked closer to him. Emi was slightly embarrassed as she could also hear Lia, Kai, Suk Yong, Mimi, and Trish yelling from the front.]
Host 2: We have some great stars before another set of stars take the stage. Yara and Charles, you’ve been filming together for the past few months here in New York. Does this make you miss filming more?
