From the passenger seat, I hear Arin’s voice chattering with excitement.
Recently, I was only on my way to the stage where the class gradually went up.
Heading to Hongdae, which reminds me of the past after a long time, seems so happy at this moment.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but smile.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been heading down this road, so I felt new.
I remember when I just started WH.
It was a path that gave me a lot to think about.
“I know. At some point, too many people recognized me, so I couldn’t go. i regret that Are you like Arin?”
“that’s right. So it was very sad. I really liked the feeling of singing and interacting with people close to each other.”
“If you do it like before, the whole area will probably be paralyzed? It will be a nuisance to the shops operating nearby.”
“but. Maybe so. As the CEO said these days, just sitting in a cafe, requests for autographs keep coming in, so I can’t stay for long.”
As Yu & Na’s popularity increased in earnest through entertainment, busking performances became impossible.
Fans who always came to busking performances also understood.
Even before Yuanna started to rise in earnest, traffic became inconvenient due to people flocking to listen to Arin’s songs.
It was a situation where I didn’t even know how much it would be now.
Maybe even the people in the nearby shops would flock to it?
“So today, we’re going to do a guerrilla castle, not a busking place like before. At first, I’ll even wear a hat so it’s hard for people to recognize me.”
“yes. But why is there a selection list today? It seems that there are only calm songs.”
It wasn’t just a way to reminisce about old memories.
Incontinence caused by Arin’s own pressure in his heart. That was the way to go to cure it.
“Arin, you’ve only been showing high-pitched and technical songs lately. Unlike the list there.”
“that’s right. But those are the songs that people expect from me. It was the same in Mask Singer. It was the same on the stage of legends.”
also.
Arin couldn’t feel it even though he said it with his own mouth.
From noble mtl dot com
Arin just said with her own mouth.
He says that the only stage people expect from him is songs full of high notes and technique.
In other words, he began to feel the pressure on himself to the extent that such thoughts came out as words unconsciously.
Why didn’t I notice Arin’s condition?
This was completely my fault.
My fault for not noticing WH’s No. 1 singer, Arin, until she reached such a state.
Take today as an opportunity to treat Arin’s heart, and pay close attention to prevent this from happening in the future.
“Everything has come.”
“uh? Isn’t this where we always parked?”
“that’s right. Unbeknownst to me, I came to the place I always came from.”
Arin put her face close to the window and looked around intently.
It’s been quite a while. I didn’t have to come here after the last busking performance.
“Because there are only the CEO and me. Like before, I’ll pick up my equipment. Where should I call you?”
“here.”
“yes?”
“Here. A place we will call.”
It was difficult when there were too many people.
But it wasn’t bad here.
People passing by infrequently.
Just in time, this location is good for singing for a while.
Of course, it’s not an officially licensed place, so if you call and report it, you’ll have to withdraw.
“Let’s sing a song like before and bring people together. how is it?”
“great. As long as it’s with the CEO, it’s okay no matter where you sing.”
Of course, I couldn’t call next to the car, which was a parking spot.
I moved the equipment I had brought to a place a little away from the parking lot.
“and. The mic is also the mic I used in the old days.”
“okay. I’ll just finish setting up and start. Just relax your neck for a moment.”
The song list was suddenly prepared by me. That’s why there was one more equipment that was different from before.
A small screen where you can see the lyrics while Arin sings.
i brought it
The preparations were over soon.
I took out my camera instead of taking pictures with my phone like I used to.
“right. You brought it, but what is it?”
“this? Maybe when people recognize you and flock to you. At that time, I pretended to be filming so that people would not be disturbed.”
If Arin just sings without this camera, someone might come close.
But what if it looks like you’re filming with a camera?
If you approach, you will be careful that you will be filmed.
And there was one more reason.
To show Arin the video I took today and the video I recorded in the past.
When we arrived with quite a bit of gear, some people passed by and gave us curious glances.
Although no one wanted to stop and watch.
“Arin. for a moment.”
After setting up, I jumped up and strode out.
“Arin. Would you like to come here too?”
“me too?”
“okay.”
At my words, Arin came to the side and looked at the stage together with me.
“Do you remember when we first had our busking performance ahead?”
“yes. At that time, even a place that was hard to call a small stage felt very difficult and scary.”
“that’s right. At that time, Arin even asked me to go back saying that you wouldn’t be able to.”
Arin lowers his head, perhaps recalling the embarrassing past at my words.
“Arin told you this back then.”
I’m your number one fan.
At my words, Arin lifted her head and nodded.
“You are not alone then and now. I’m always by your side Until now and in the future, I will be by your side as the representative of the agency and the number 1 fan who will protect singer Arin.”
“ah···”
He still couldn’t understand the meaning of what I was about to say.
But I wanted to tell you.
“So let’s not worry too much about living up to people’s expectations. I had something like that recently.”
“i know. People say that everything the CEO touches is a success.”
“that’s right. At some point, people started to have expectations about what Choi Woo-hyuk would choose. If Choi Woo-hyuk chooses it, he will succeed unconditionally.”
There were many such stories.
Whatever CEO Choi Woo-hyeok of WH chooses, he succeeds unconditionally. Even the things that would fail somehow turn into jackpots.
Arin nodded as if he had heard the rumor.
“And then, without realizing it, I was being chased. The next choice must be an unconditional jackpot, or at least a mediocre hit. If I don’t, people will think of me as a failure. I mean like this.”
“uh? Did the representative do the same?”
At my words, Arin looked at me with poopy eyes.
Like hey you two? with these eyes.
“Actually, I’ve been feeling a little bit lately. I was feeling the pressure without realizing it. Arin’s stage is the best. Whenever I hear Arin’s song, I get goosebumps. The pressure to live up to these expectations.”
“I see. But lately I’ve been thinking about this. What if you fall short? What if you’re disappointed? How can a person always show only success?”
What I wanted to say to Arin today.
It was a story that could be put down a little bit.
“If you slip a little, I’ll be by your side to catch you. You just have to prepare slowly and go up together. together.”
There is no sense of pressure as much as being a professional.
Because there were fans who came to see the best side of me.
but.
“You are not alone. If you feel like you’re being chased, let’s brush it off like this. If you have someone you can lean on, don’t suffer alone.”
“…that’s a good word.”
“yes? going back to the basics At that time, no matter how people reacted, I was just happy with the stage and the song. Let’s go back to that time.”
At my words, Arin smiles brightly.
Just like the time when I smiled happily in the world after my first busking performance.
“Is it like the time when we were happy just by going to a busking performance with the CEO?”
“okay. I’ll let go of that pressure a little bit. Arin, let’s call you a little more comfortably.”
I don’t think I’m going to get rid of all the pressure at once through this opportunity.
But little by little. If I could get better little by little, that was enough.
The goal we were going for was not something that could be achieved in a year or two.
“Then shall we begin the performance? Even though no one is waiting.”
I answered Arin’s words as if I was talking about something.
“What are you talking about? How eagerly your fan #1 is waiting for your song right now.”
“Poop. all right. Then the performance will begin.”
Is it an illusion if Arin’s steps towards the small stage look a little light?
The song was also calm according to the prepared music selection chart.
But Arin was Arin.
Even with those songs, I caught the footsteps of passers-by.
one two. Gradually the passing footsteps stopped and people began to gather.
And I captured them on camera.
By the time the prepared songs are all over.
People appeared who recognized Arin as the person performing the busking performance.
Cover your identity, hide your appearance and sing any song. Because I have fans who will recognize that I am Arin just by my voice.
“I performed as a surprise for filming. Thank you for noticing this and for being with us. We will sign autographs until the seats are cleared, so please line up in order.”
And it was impossible to turn a blind eye to the fans who recognized and came to us with just their voices.
While I was organizing the equipment, Arin had time to communicate with the fans like before in a long time.
The car on the way back was full of stories about the performance, just like in the old days.
The story of being surprised that there are fans who recognize who you are just by singing calmly.
The story that I was surprised to hear that the song I sang today was really good.
Stories like that were filling the car.
“…”
The car, which had been noisy just before, became quiet in an instant.
While waiting for the signal to wonder what was going on, I looked to the side and Arin was looking at me.
“ah. It shouldn’t be like this.”
“why?”
What’s wrong?
When I asked with full of concern, Arin shook her hand as if it was nothing.
“no. Looks like it’s been brushed off now. I thought I would find my original intention again… So I did.”
“okay?”
thank god.
Let go of the pressure to some extent, if not all, through today.
Arin seems to have regained his original intention.

Min-joon joined WH as a new member of the family.
As a result, the busiest person was none other than Yuna.
“Chief. I have something I want to ask you.”
Yuna and Minjoon finalized the contract with the company. He came to me after hearing that he would be joining director Park Chan-woong’s film with Lee Joo-yeon.
“What?”
“I heard that Min-joon is going to be in a movie with director Park Chan-woong along with the lead sister?”
“that’s right.”
In response to my answer, Yuna put on a serious expression.
“I heard about it from Sujin unnie. The lead sister pursues perfection as much as she does on set.”
“yes. Lee Joo-yeon is like that on set.”
“In addition, I heard that director Park Chan-woong used to make a movie for a long time, and the filming was tight.”
“that’s right.”
That’s why I was looking for Minjun’s acting teacher.
I said it when I first saw Minjun.
Minjun was a child with brilliant talent. Although he is still young, his talent will not bloom all at once, but it was clear that he would grow faster than anyone else.
Just like Yuna in front of me.
I had to find an acting teacher who could teach such a genius.
It can also be taught according to Minjun’s eye level.
“How am I?”
“what?”
“I am a bit busy these days. Anyway, there aren’t many dramas left to shoot. By the time Minjunie starts filming in earnest, I think the time will be fine.”
If it had been Yuna before meeting Dok Go-young, she would have refused and found another teacher.
However, Yuna was a child who had been receiving acting guidance from teacher Dok Go-young for quite a long time.
Above all, there must be something in common between geniuses.
then.
It’s pretty good, right?
Yuna said, as if she had read my sympathetic expression.
“The boss is also worried because of the acting teacher. I saw him while eating chicken the other day, and I saw Minjun’s real talent.”
“Then let’s try it once and make a decision, not formally. how is it?”
“great!”
That’s how Yuna’s acting class was decided as a one-off.
When Yuna met Minjun, she made an ahem and solemn expression.
“Min Joon-ah.”
“yes?”
“How do you think acting should be expressed?”
“hmm. Did you imagine being that person?”
“that’s right. But Min-joon, you still have a lot of difficult feelings because you lack experience. That’s how I express myself.”
Minjun follows Yuna’s words slowly.
“tooth.”
“Kin…?”
It was.
It was the moment when Yuna’s chicken acting theory came out to the world again.

Derek finished all of his schedule in Korea and left.
Ringo still couldn’t believe that Derek had been recording with him in his studio, so he heard that he looked at one wall of the studio every day.
On the wall hung a picture with Derek’s autograph.
A large photo of the three people, Derek, Ringo, and Park Ki-beom, with the studio in the background.
“Yeah. After all, our representative is the best. Oh my God, that Derek came and went in my studio. I never thought we would even work together.”
“Mr. Ringo said the songs are really good too. Derek said he looks forward to the next time we meet.”
“is it so? I need to study English in the future. That Derek came, but I couldn’t even talk to him properly. It’s a pity.”
Ringo’s words were full of regret.
but.
This is Ringo, who has been running fiercely with a clenched fist.
While coming all the way from a shabby hillside village to Adeungba, there must have been no time to study English conversation that I might use at any time.
Basic communication was necessary, but it seemed that it was very regrettable that we couldn’t have in-depth musical discussions.
Especially the shocked look on his face when he heard the song Derek brought to record with Arin in Ringo’s studio.
Derek’s song rekindled Ringo, who had been worried for a while that he might have fallen into mannerisms.
He said that he had an inspiration while preparing for Sia’s mini album, so he immediately went back to the studio and didn’t come out.
The day after Arin went to a busking performance with me.
Derek came back to me with a startled look on his face.
“Mr. Choi! What kind of magic did you do? In the case of Arin’s problem, it was a problem that could not be solved in a day or two!”
“From Derek’s point of view, does Arin seem to be okay?”
“It’s not a good level. It’s like stepping up. This is not the time. I plan to start recording tomorrow.”
Excited, Derek brought out his unfinished song that he hadn’t released in a long time.
<The last piece>
It was a song that Arin participated in as a feature, and it was the name of a song that will be included in the album to be released after Derek’s break.
and.
“oh my god! Arin is more of a genius than I thought!”
Derek, who finished recording in Ringo’s studio, told me without hiding his excitement.
“Honestly, if I hadn’t known about Arin and you. No, if I hadn’t seen you solve Arin’s problem at once. If that was the case, I would have somehow seduced that genius and took him away.”
“That is a sad story.”
“that’s right. To be honest, the trust between you and Arin is stronger than I thought. And I thought it would be better with you than with me.”
Although it was Derek who wanted to take Arin’s genius somehow as he taught him.
In the end, on the way to leave Korea, there were only manager Brown and security personnel.
“Even when we did our first busking performance together, I thought it would take at least 5 years for Arin to come to America. however.”
