Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

77 – Showcase (2)

Armo’s monumental debut song had a fairly bright atmosphere. Since her debut date is summer, she seems to have chosen a song with a cool concept to match the season.

I remember that most girl group songs these days have a lot of girl crush or solemn feelings, but I actually liked songs that added this refreshing feeling better.

Above all, the song itself is bright and befits the word idol, and its liveliness, as if it depicts a youth drama, made the listener smile.

“Wow…. “You dance really well, right, oppa?”

“I see, you must have practiced quite a bit.”

She nodded, smiling at Han Yu-jin, who was tapping her arm as if asking for her consent.

Seeing my girlfriend, who was always childish and infinitely cute in front of me, dance and sing perfectly on stage gives me a new feeling. It feels professional and it’s cool.

In addition, the facial expressions that change every moment according to the lyrics while dancing are truly authentic. I’m proud to say that I’ve seen Yuna’s various expressions, but it was a different experience.

“The song is bright and good, honey.”

“I see. “I don’t know what the kids are saying in their songs these days, but the lyrics are easy to understand.”

The song was well received by Yuna’s parents, and it was gratifying to see them share their impressions by humming the chorus, which repeats the same way as the first verse.

In particular, I completely agree with the lady’s words. Although she doesn’t use any particularly difficult words and doesn’t even include common English, the song overall feels sophisticated. The lyrics themselves were also very good.

It’s a cute song about high school-age girls’ feelings about love and their subsequent confessions, so I think adults will find it especially cute.

The song reached its climax and quickly came to an end,

Dung.

“Waaa!”

As the drums sounded and the song ended, enthusiastic cheers erupted from those around them.

Yuna smiled at the applauding audience as she took her place in the center of the formation, then turned her gaze this way as she walked back with her members.

Frown.

Her adorable wink made me laugh without even realizing it. There really is no other way.

“Hello, everyone who visited Armo’s showcase! Nice to meet you! “I am Bae Ji-hye, the MC in charge of hosting today!”

“Oooooh!”

Today’s showcase host, who returned to the backstage for a moment and appeared, was a fairly famous female comedian who was often seen on TV programs.

She has recently been in the spotlight as an MC on entertainment shows and has been raising her stock, but everyone looked surprised as they had no idea that such a busy person would even be in charge of a new girl group showcase.

Wow, the groups promoted by large agencies are different, right? They invite such a famous person to be the MC for some event.

“I am as happy as her fans and members to be able to attend this monumental event where Armo takes her first steps together. The song you just heard was Armo’s debut album title, ‘Shy Boy’….”

As expected from someone who often appears on TV, the proceedings were very neat. Although everyone knows that they are trying to buy time while the members change from one stage costume to another, I was naturally immersed in the story.

“Well, then, let’s meet the people who brought you here today, right? Armo everyone, please come out!”

Clap clap clap clap.

Soon after, the real protagonists appeared on stage again. I thought they were real idols as they entered in one line and waved their hands to those around them.

Four people were sitting side by side on the chairs left behind by the staff on stage. It looks like a brief talk show will be held including debut impressions, etc.

“Yes, first of all, I would like to say hello to the audience who came all the way today.”

Likewise, at the recommendation of the host who was seated, self-introductions and greetings continued, starting with the member who appeared to be the oldest member on the far left.

“Hello! “This is Seungyeon, Armo’s eldest child.”

“Hello, I’m Soeun, a member of Armo.”

“Hello fans! “I’m Armo’s Yerin!”

“I’m Yuna, Armo’s youngest member, hello!”

It’s funny how each person’s personality is revealed even though they only say a few words at most. In particular, that person named So-eun usually has a very cool personality or is probably quiet. Really take pictures.

By the way, Yuna was the youngest in the group. She said she had run into someone in her company before, a girl named Yerin, and they called each other by their first names, so she thought they were the same age as her. Could it be that the genealogy got messed up?

“Today is the debut showcase, right? So I guess I can’t help but ask. How do you feel about your debut? “Starting with leader Seungyeon.”

“It’s very overwhelming. Actually, I thought it was a dream until I rehearsed today. She asked So-eun, who was next to her, to pinch her….”

“That’s right. “I could feel Seungyeon in particular saying, ‘She’s really excited.'”

Even though it was their first statement on the debut stage, the members did not tremble or make mistakes, and calmly joked with each other and shared their impressions.

Soon after, the turn came to Yuna, who was furthest away from the host.

“In my case, I wasn’t really nervous.”

“Really? “Yuna, I heard you’re her youngest and you must be very strong-hearted.”

“It’s a bit like that. But today, rather than not being nervous because I had a strong heart, I think it was more the joy of finally being able to show the fans the results of our practice.”

Oh, you speak well.

While appealing with a bold appearance that is not typical of the youngest, you do not forget to take care of the public sentiment of your fans. It’s an answer that feels so disconnected that you wonder if he was so good at saying it.

“Isn’t that the comment you were thinking of?”

To the point where Han Yujin even suspected her.

You can just think of it as a prepared comment, but it seems like she found it quite difficult to believe it, seeing as she was certain that it didn’t come from her own head.

After that, many conversations took place.

We asked and answered questions about the song’s concept and impressions when we first heard it, listened to other songs included in the same album little by little, and had fun episodes about things that happened while recording.

“Wow, you must have spent a lot of money.”

“How much does it cost to make something like that, Dad?”

“Dad, I don’t know either. Anyway, wouldn’t it cost a lot?”

In the middle, we all watched the music video together, and it was funny how the old man and Han Yu-jin immediately discussed the cost, in contrast to the old lady who liked it and said it was beautifully filmed.

Yuna previously said that her younger brother resembles her uncle, and she herself resembles her aunt, and that seemed to be evident here. It’s just amazing.

After watching the music video, photos taken during filming were shown and NG scenes were shown, causing laughter.

In particular, there was a scene where Yuna, not knowing there was a camera, went to Seungyeon, an older woman, and danced on her shoulders and showed off her cuteness. Unlike Han Yujin, who was next to her and pretended to be nauseous, saying ‘Ugh.’ I watched with pleasure.

While the aegyo he showed in front of me very occasionally made me feel more shy and embarrassed, it was very nice to see it in a different way because it was done shamelessly, as if teasing the other person.

Of course, if he had done something like that to a staff member or another man, he would have cooled off immediately. That is absolutely unacceptable, cancer.

“Now, the final stage of the showcase is approaching. “Before you go back to prepare for the stage, I have one last question for the Armo members.”

The showcase, which had been prepared for just over an hour, was already coming to an end, and as the host continued with his closing remarks, the eyes of the four people widened at the same time. It seems like this is something unplanned.

“Huh? “Wasn’t this in the script?”

“That’s right. Actually, this was directly from the boss to me! “This question was secretly included because I wanted to hear your sincerity.”

“Are you the boss?”

“Boss, why did you do that… !”

You seem to be really close with the boss. Even so, it would be difficult for a new idol to say something like that to their boss during their debut showcase, even as a joke.

Facing the members who were screaming, the host steadfastly followed through on his will and cleared his throat to ask the last question.

“It’s not a very difficult question. “If there was a driving force that made you move forward with your dream of becoming an idol, what would it be?”

“The driving force?”

“Yes, if the question is a little difficult, it’s okay to tell me why you had your dream.”

I was worried because it was a surprise question, but it turned out to be easier than I expected.

Well, unless the CEO is trying to embarrass the idols of his agency, there is no way he would have prepared such a curious question from his first debut stage. I think you can think of it as just a closing comment.

“It’s a bit difficult to say that I’m the driving force, but I think it’s because it’s a dream.” You don’t need a reason to make your dreams come true, right? So I just looked ahead and ran hard!”

“That’s a great answer. Well, you don’t need a reason to run towards your dream.”

After Yerin, who was the third person in line, finished answering, only Yuna’s answer was left to go.

It was a prepared comment earlier, so she answered neatly, but this surprise question was an answer that came purely from Yuna’s true feelings, which made me even more excited.

“Uhm….”

The moment she felt like the gaze of the guy who was holding her microphone and showing signs of contemplation turned in this direction for just a moment, a smile appeared on Yuna’s lips.

“Actually, a friend of mine once told me a song he wrote.”

At the same time, the introduction that came out made me lose my mind for a moment.

Because I knew very well who that friend was.

“Oh, is this your own song? “So did he dream of becoming a composer?”

“No, it wasn’t like that. When I listen to it now, it’s a pretty unremarkable song, but at the time, while listening to it, I thought that someday I’d like to sing the song he made. So she decided to become a trainee.”

While listening to the story, my heart moved, I also thought that this might be a bit dangerous.

People who love gossip so much tend to rush in like a mouse when there is just one incident, but seeing a girl group member say something like this at the debut showcase, one might guess that the other person is her boyfriend.

“Then, thanks to that friend, I was able to develop my dream.”

“Is that so? He’s actually the friend who made me become an idol, hehehe.”

“If I succeed later, I’ll buy that friend a drink. Oh, Yuna, you’re underage right now, so you’re not allowed to drink alcohol?”

“Hey, I can buy it for you next year! “She doesn’t have long left.”

However, the surrounding atmosphere was so warm that my worries felt foolish, and even the scene on stage felt warm.

After all the conversation was over, Armo’s members went back to the backstage. Soon after, the staff ran out to remove the chairs, and someone stabbed me in the waist as I watched.

It was none other than Han Yujin.

“Ugh, oppa, you want it? “My sister even mentioned it in places like this.”

“It’s good, but I’m a little scared that something might happen, hey.”

“How about that? People will like it because it’s romantic, right?”

Is that so? I’m not sure. I heard that the entertainment industry is a very scary place.

“Now then, I will introduce Armo’s finale stage ‘Non Stop’ to the fans and then leave. “Thank you for everyone’s warm cheers and applause!”

Putting aside my worries for a moment, I watched Armo’s performance when he returned to the stage.

As she looked at her girlfriend shining on stage, she felt that she was such a small being, while a part of her heart also thought this.

I want to become a person who can be next to such a shining being. Maybe that was the first dream that came to me.
