Hair-Dryer Mic Panic in 3 Songs

A live broadcast goes wrong when SEVENTEEN’s loudest practice-chant accidentally triggers the venue’s silent-air mode, turning every idol mic into a harmless hair-dryer sound—right as two new CARAT fan-club members are scheduled to interview them onstage. The CARATs scramble to translate lyrics with flashcards while the members try to keep their choreography from drifting into the audience’s snack table, and a “sound engineer” who only communicates through blinking stage lights insists the fix will take exactly three songs. Every time the CARATs swap positions to catch the members’ timing, the countdown accelerates, and the crowd starts chanting “CARAT, HELP!” louder than the planned fan-cam. By the time the final song starts, the stage lights reveal the engineer has been hiding the emergency patch in plain sight—inside the mic foam of the very member who can’t find his headset before the doors lock.
