The Skill of an Idol That Never Fails

49 episodes

Before receiving a call from Jung Hae-won and going to Yang Yi-hyung’s studio, Park Joong-woon asked the members who were lying on the floor of the practice room due to overly hard practice.

“Can I really go pick up Haewon? May I ask you to rest a little more?”

Then among the tired members, Hwang Sae-byeok, who was most exhausted and stretched out, answered.

“No, if I leave Jung Hae-won there, I have to practice again, but I get angry because I didn’t wake up.”

“Does Hae-won have a temper? I didn’t see it.”

At the words of manager Park Joong-woon, all the members looked at him. It became incredibly difficult when the twelve eyes of the six idols, flowing in a row, focused on them.

Shin Ji-woon opened his mouth.

“That brother’s personality… … That’s because he’s an employee, so he’s hiding it.”

“right. you’re hiding Recording is different from when recording members and when someone else is recording.”

Min Ji-ho responded and Han Hyo-seok added.

“Uh, you are very strict with the members. When recording this time… … .”

“me too! Really, there has never been a time when we were so grateful that we paid a fine while recording. If he hadn’t been fined, he would have cursed at me once.”

“Isn’t Haewon good? … .”

“It’s nice, there’s a difference between being nice and being strong.”

It seemed quite surprising to the management staff to say that Shin Ji-woon, who looks the most energetic among the Desen members.

Anyway, the person who just showed symptoms of hyperventilation said that he would return to practice right away, but the company turned over. Rather than worrying about health or mental health, I was worried that I might get angry if I didn’t bring it in sooner. Seeing that everyone was thinking the same thing, it seemed that there was a clear image of Jeong Hae-won of those who participated in Guk Seon-ah.

After a while, when I went to the studio, Jung Hae-won was waiting on the stairs.

“Uh, bro.”

“I decided to bring the counselor in the morning.”

At those words, Jung Hae-won said as if jingling.

“Oh really? It should not be linked with an entertainment company. I just call you at night.”

“I don’t do it anyway. The company was a total mess. Do you know how surprised everyone was?”

“No, that’s… … . I keep not looking at the comments or reactions, but I’m very curious about the reaction of Harame’s comments all of a sudden. I was involved a lot.”

Yes it is, though. I usually have a bit of a goblin, so I’m good at making excuses and moving on at my own pace, so I couldn’t tell if I was checking the comments to see the real highlight medley.

Jung Hae-won, with an unbelievably healthy face, told him to go to the car and come quickly.

* * *

My heart was rushed at the thought that I had to chase after practice quickly.

As soon as I got out of the car, I arrived at the practice room almost as if running, but the members were lying down.

“Why are you guys already resting?”

When I asked a question out of embarrassment, Hwang Sae-byeok answered.

“Relax! I still did, practice. Can’t you see Min Ji-ho lying down?”

At those words, Min Ji-ho, who had the stamina remaining until the last while practicing the choreography, lay down and jumped up.

“No, I woke up!”

As Min Ji-ho’s passion exploded, the sound of sickness erupted here and there.

“Ah, Min Ji-ho, lie down again… … .”

“Please let me rest!”

Although the choreography looked easy, it was incredibly difficult. In addition, the coupling song Get set ready was choreographed with the goal of exploding all energy in the first week of their comeback, so most of the songs had a lot of jumping motions that made it seem like they were floating in the air.

While I was practicing, I was planning to shoot a choreography video at dawn. However, the choreography is very difficult, and everyone is at the age where they have the best stamina. I looked at the members sitting there with their souls drained.

Still, after taking a break, I thought about how to raise the mood, so I told Hwang Sae-byeok.

“Stork, teach me the drums.”

“you? You play drums.”

“You’re not good at it.”

Since Hwang Sae-byeok went all-in to the band club during his middle school days, he knew how to handle all the instruments used in the band to some extent. Han Hyo-seok stood up and said.

“Me too.”

“Brother, me too!”

And when all the members got up and went to the practice room with the drums, the brothers and sisters of the choreography team looked at us ignorantly and said,

“They are young, they are young.”

“We are young too, they are young… … .”

Leaving behind the choreography team who said that, I rushed into the practice room. As Hwang Sae-byeok sat down in front of the drum, Shin Ji-woon and Min Ji-ho picked up the guitar. I handed the microphones to Park Seon-jae and Han Hyo-seok, and Ahn Joo-won said to me.

“Haewon, I can only use the keyboard.”

“I also learned bass.”

“You really… … Are you a genius?”

Leaving Ahn Joo-won behind the useless noises, I started with the chords and composed a simple song. Whatever it is, the members were most energetic when they were doing music. Then Min Ji-ho said.

“Let’s turn on the lab!”

“Hey, it’s three in the morning now.”

“But let’s turn it on! I want to show you this sunshine. Turn it on for a while and then turn it off.”

It’s okay to do this at 3 in the morning, except for Min Ji-ho, the rest of the members and staff struggled, but decided to try it for a while. After the staff adjusted the camera position for the live broadcast, Min Ji-ho turned on the live broadcast. Then he went in front of the camera and said.

“Can you see us? Are you coming in?”

Then Shin Ji-woon, who was checking his cell phone, said:

“You have come in.”

Then Ahn Joo-won said.

“By the way, isn’t this our first time? It was turned on suddenly without a schedule like this.”

“Uh, is that so?”

Seonjae Park thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Min Jiho said.

“Sunshine, we were preparing for our comeback because it was so hard, so you came here to play? But it’s so much fun. So I turned on the sunbeams to play together.”

That’s why I said turn it on… … .

We understood now. Anyway, even though Min Ji-ho can’t speak coherently to us, he speaks relatively coherently to his fans. He was a guy who really wanted to know what he would do if he wasn’t an idol.

Min Ji-ho looked back and asked.

“What are you going to play for the sunshine? There may be sunlight waking up at dawn, so I can go back to sleep… … .”

Then Shin Ji-woon, who picked up Min Ji-ho’s guitar, whose guitar was not tuned, said:

“Let’s do it on a sunny day.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Hwang Sae-byeok clashed, and Shin Ji-woon brought me a guitar.

“Brother, please adjust this. I can’t find a tuner.”

“yes.”

While I was tuning in with my guitar, Hwang Sae-byeok quickly informed the members of the chords on a sunny day. And I returned the tuned guitar to Min Ji-ho.

We immediately started playing the band version of Sunny Day. Park Seon-jae’s refreshing voice and Han Hyo-seok’s friendly voice melted into the instrumental performance, completing a sunny day with a more daunting atmosphere than the original version.

All the members were playing and singing, so they couldn’t check the comments at all, but they were excited just by the current situation, and everyone had a smile on their face.

I was also in the best condition standing in front of the camera so far. It’s rather overwhelming, so it’s good that you don’t have to force yourself to relax. Burgcham overwhelms the tension.

“End!”

Min Ji-ho spoke and ran to turn off the live and said.

“Sorry for waking up the sun, sleep well.”

And after all the members waved their hands and said good night, the live broadcast that lasted for about 15 minutes ended. The members, who were excited while performing in one place, went back to the practice room and filmed a choreography video.

Fortunately, the view came up again in the morning.

The 15-minute live broadcast was immediately re-edited and subtitled by fans and uploaded to YouTube. This video has brought a lot of attention not only to the First Light fandom, but also to other people.

With a highlight medley and a live fan song uploaded three hours after upload, the number of mentions of First Light on social media and communities has increased overwhelmingly throughout the day.

The atmosphere on the set of ＜The Thirteen> was a little different from usual. The trainees, who spoke and acted well for such editing, were quite quiet today because they were able to secure the volume through a poorly written piece that was deliberately noticeable to viewers.

Unlike usual, we gathered in groups to prepare for the mission, but there were no scenes that could be edited out loud.

The editorial team, including PD Park Kyung-seok, was in a difficult situation.

“Why are you all so quiet all of a sudden?”

“The kids must have seen the internet atmosphere after connecting Jung Hae-won.”

PD Park Kyung-seok really focused on the group mission and was in a cold sweat because of the participants who kept their mouths shut to avoid unnecessary fights. Which owner doesn’t matter, this week, when the ratings were rising, was even more important in capturing viewers.

The appearance of Jung Hae-won caught the predictable topicality, but immediately after that, the mood of the participants was changing.

The problem was that the participants understood that ‘you don’t want to be like me’ means ‘you can become like me’.

‘Ah, why does that child talk nonsense… … .’

PD Park Kyung-seok needed a countermeasure, and the more people rushed, the more familiar they were. One thing that comes to mind when I’m in a hurry was First Light’s appearance in ＜The Thirteen>. And the youngest writer, who contacted TRV to inquire about his intention to appear, returned.

“uh… … PD-nim, it’s the first week of your comeback, so you’re saying it’s going to be difficult?”

The refusal returned immediately, unexpectedly.
