The Skill of an Idol That Never Fails

42 episodes

Han Hyo-seok disappeared from the practice room, and Min Ji-ho went into the recording studio and started practicing.

I tried to sleep with the headset on, but I couldn’t sleep well because the medicine didn’t fully work.

So I got up and looked inside the recording studio to see if Min Ji-ho was practicing well. You can literally feel poison when you come in while choreographing with UO and sit on the floor of the recording studio in your practice clothes and listen to music on your cellphone over and over again.

I was so focused that I didn’t even know I was watching. Min Ji-ho had a clear sense of purpose to be able to sing well as well as dance. He’s a guy who really suits idols.

Then Min Ji-ho abruptly got up and came to the door.

“Ah, what is it? What are you doing there, I was surprised.”

“What do you need?”

“pen! Can I double here?”

“ah. yes.”

I took out a pen and handed it to him.

Just after an hour had passed, Hyo-seok Han arrived at the control room, and Ji-ho Min said that he would practice one more time, but was dragged out by Hyo-seok Han who said that time must be kept unconditionally.

I burst into laughter as I alternately looked at the notes I had written on both of them.

“What brain do you share?”

“Brother, how can you say such harsh words?”

Han Hyo-seok grumbled, but he only sighed when he took the sheet music of Min Ji-ho that I had given him.

Both of them have the same opinion.

Only the way of expression is different.

It was funny because the two guys are so different. Even though the words are the same, if you read them interchangeably, you won’t be able to understand them.

Anyway, the most interesting thing was the lyrics.

[Even if this night is over, our world won’t end]

I put both comments below this lyric I wrote.

[Hyung, why is the night over???????????? It’s not over… … ♥]

[Hae-won hyung. Since the next lyrics say that the sun doesn’t rise anymore, I don’t think the night will end.]

“I understand why you are fighting.”

The structure of thought is similar, but the way of expression is diametrically opposite.

I corrected the part of ‘Even if this night is over’ while considering the two people’s tendencies.

“How about this.”

[Even if we run in the opposite direction, our world will not end]

Min Ji-ho looked at the lyrics and gave a slightly blank expression, so Han Hyo-seok explained it instead.

“Jiwoon hyung wrote the lyrics in ‘Turn on the Lights’ that we followed the sun and ran in the same direction and kept saying ‘white night’.”

“uh.”

“But here, regardless of the sun, even if you run in opposite directions, it’s still night.”

“Ah, the sun is completely gone?”

“… … Oh, yes.”

“Brother, this is it. How are these lyrics… … .”

“It’s logical.”

“It’s logical! And I want to make a music video for this. So let’s go to the president’s office and get it, Hyoshik. uh… … Got it right?”

“Let’s convince him to get it. roughly right.”

Min Ji-ho stops as if there is a computer error because there is too much information, but Han Hyo-seok prints out one by one in order. It doesn’t fit, but it fits well.

I giggled from side to side watching their conversation. They’re only two years apart, and I don’t know why they look so much like younger siblings. We exchanged ideas with one another while we were making a provisional recording.

A few days later, a concept photo shoot was scheduled.

A&R Park Gun-hoo, who was with me on the set, showed the members including me the track list for their first full-length album.

Shin Ji-woon, who was checking the track list, said to me.

“I think that if you make people work this much, you should sue the company.”

“Did I just make a lot? I wish I could write a lot of my songs.”

“The moment you said that, the accusation was wrong.”

When I said that, I laughed, so Shin Ji-woon was in love.

“I’m not kidding.”

It is said that each member works a lot. It’s ridiculous because they are busy and nagging, but from the day ‘Turn on the Lights’ activities ended to today when we were taking the concept photo, I lived the most intensely in my real life.

Arrangement and mixing are still to be done, but now that the track list has been released, the outline of the album has been clearly established.

I checked the title of this title song.

‘I only waited for the morning (Q&A)’

The ideas of ‘I just waited for the morning’ and ‘Q&A’ continued to diverge. The main opinion of the morning group was that the Q&A was already used too much, so it was a pity for the title of the first regular album, and the opinion of the Q&A group was that waiting only for the morning was too memorable.

So, combining the two, the subtitle became a Q&A.

I wondered what the difference was, but looking at the track list, it seems a bit plausible.

The atmosphere of this regular album is completely different from the last digital single, so the styling of the members has changed quite a lot.

The concept of the first regular album was teenagers who couldn’t sleep because they had a girl they liked, and after school, they flocked to eat even if they had different classes and dispositions. So, me and all the members changed their hair color to darker. I think this will be the last time school uniforms become a concept.

Anyway, I came back to brown hair again after much effort, but looking in the mirror, I wonder if something is too ordinary.

There are two versions of the album, a white version and a night version. The white version is an outdoor shoot, and the night version is an indoor shoot, but today was an indoor shoot.

At the end of July, in the weather approaching 40 degrees, the members wore cardigans, knitwear, and pajamas to shoot.

anyway.

I couldn’t postpone it any longer, and I had a must-do schedule at this filming site, so I grabbed my cell phone and waited, and caught Shin Ji-woon, who finished filming in an instant with various pictorial careers.

“Let’s take a picture together.”

“What… … Oh, a photo card selfie?”

Shin Ji-woon picked up the phone.

In particular, with the exception of Min Ji-ho, who is a master of selfies, the First Light members generally take good selfies, so it was more burdensome.

“I should have taken the picture earlier when I was pink, but I kept putting it off.”

“What are you going to do then? We have to go according to the concept of this album.”

“I was more confident in my appearance back then… … . men and horses.”

Shin Ji-woon took my cell phone and took only selfies. No, this bastard?

“This turned out well. Brother, let me go.”

“Oh, help me. Don’t take pictures of you.”

The selfies came out well, so I did send them to the album production team while I was having fun. After sending all the photos, Shin Ji-woon said.

“If you feel uncomfortable, grab some props and take a picture. Oh, that’s cute.”

Shin Ji-woon spoke, and after talking with the filming staff, he brought a teddy bear cushion among the props for the shoot.

“You didn’t use this.”

“Oh, cute.”

Since my sister was already in middle school when I was able to recognize her surroundings to a certain extent, I don’t think I’ve ever had a doll like this in my house. The doll itself is ignorantly unfamiliar.

I held the teddy bear in one arm and looked around for an angle. Then he said to Shin Ji-woon, who was watching.

“Hey, turn it off.”

“Wow, that’s right. Do you like my brother’s personality?”

No, you can’t pretend to be cute when you look at it… … .

“Hyung, first, take as many pictures as possible. If hyung can’t choose, the staff will pick one for you.”

“okay.”

Fortunately, Shin Ji-Woon has moved away for the sake of my business.

I took a deep breath and took another picture. At that time, I heard the staffs next to me screaming, so I flinched and turned around to see the staff looking at me.

“Why, why?”

“It’s so cute… … .”

“ah… … .”

As always with our company staff, the concept photo shoot team also responds really well to every photo they take. It wouldn’t be cute at all, but they’re pros.

“Oh cute.”

“Haewon, listen to the doll a little more. more, more. Just that much!”

No, why are you helping me like this… … .

“Isn’t there supposed to be one wink left? Hand hearts too!”

… … I don’t know, but thank you.

Thanks to the staff’s intense reaction and directing, I may have come out well, but I took a variety of selfies. And that reaction continued even when I took the concept photo.

“Haewon, this concept is really perfect… … .”

“I think the world is all about being cute.”

To be honest, I was very worried and nervous because of the filming, but I think I was out of my soul throughout the filming because there was so much buzz around me. Anyway, the only thing that can’t help is that I’m good at my side. a simple human hahahaaha… … .

After all the individual shots were taken, one last group photo was taken.

It seemed a bit professional for the other members to check their photos, so I followed suit. I went and looked at the pictures, and this word came to mind.

“Wow… … How did you come out so well?”

“That’s why I’m a pro.”

The cinematographer said and smiled. looks like a sassy person The cinematographer continued.

“Ah, but First Light is really handsome. Whatever it is, it comes out well.”

“I think it’s just that the writer took a good picture and it came out well.”

“Of course there is none of that.”

Strangely, I hardly went to the dormitory for a month and a half and just worked, but at the time, I didn’t feel like I was making an album.

“Looking at the photos, it feels like making an album now.”

A&R Park Geon-hoon asked what I said.

“I made so many songs, can you feel it now?”

“yes.”

I don’t really feel like I’m a member of this team that often. Then, looking at our group photo, I realized that I really belong to this team. That’s why people seem to leave photos as memories.

There were a few members who left work after this group cut, so I caught them.

“Let’s take a group selfie.”

“Did you film it before?”

I answered Stork Dawn’s words.

“I just want to shoot again.”

“It’s the first time I hear you want to take a picture first.”

Maybe that’s why, even though the members were tired of the long filming, everyone gathered without saying a word. As always, for group selfies, it was Shin Ji-woon who had the longest limbs.

“Take a picture, two three.”

and took a picture.

If I remember this moment later, it may be the most shining moment in my life. So, I have to leave a lot of photos during the promotion period.

I was about to go out because there was still an outdoor shoot, but my roommate Shin Ji-woon asked.

“Hyung, are you coming home today?”

“I have to go to the studio.”

“Are you filming and working again?”

“You’re busy.”

At my words, Shin Ji-woon smirked.

“Brother, that’s actually in a state of helplessness.”

“what?”

“Working too much without thinking about it. It’s like you’re in a state of helplessness that doesn’t let you get out of work.”

I don’t know what that means.

Aren’t work addiction and helplessness two different words?

I thought and headed out for an outdoor shoot.

When I returned to the studio to finish the album after finishing the concept photo shoot, a customer was there. Hey, it was Jang Seok-hoon who recorded the chorus.

“Oh, hey bro.”

As I said hello, Yang Yi-hyung said.

“No, he worked part-time as a vocal trainer when he was in school. He has taught a lot of children with particularly weak vocal cords, and he is almost an expert.”

“Five.”

I sat down on the sofa, and Jang Seok-hoon said.

“When I was teaching children with weak vocal cords, if I didn’t speak to save their necks, their vocal cords would become weaker.”

“Oh, really.”

I remembered that I stopped speaking more and more when I was a Kuk Seon-ah, and the further back I went, the less my voice came out. Jang Seok-hoon continued.

“But again, when those kids talk a lot, their throats get sore.”

“… … Wow.”

I am just that It’s the first time I’ve seen someone who recognizes that X is the same. I’m in tears, really.

“So, you can’t talk too much, and you can’t talk too much. You can’t make a sound by squeezing your neck, but you can’t make a sound by mixing too much air.”

“yes.”

“You have to find the middle.”

And in fact, Jang Seok-hoon was a real name.
