Episode 119 Visual Meeting

“Me! I met a school zone!!”

Lee Hwi-ya was very excited since morning.

I found that a little surprising.

“Do you like it that much?”

“Yes! I’m a huge fan!”

“is it so?”

I guess I thought she would be uncomfortable with idols.

In my ordinary and narrow-minded view, that was it.

Because her dream was once to be an idol.

In a world where she had to run away after being hurt, isn’t it School Zone who is achieving incredible success at a younger age than her?

Even if it’s not to the extent of envy or jealousy, isn’t it natural for people to feel a sense of excitement?

I thought so, but she really seemed to like it.

“But are you going to wear a hat?”

Lee Hwi-ya’s hair is long. It almost reaches her waist.

She had a pretty forehead that went well with her hair.

Before, I didn’t even bother to dress up, but after I created a new sub-channel centered around her, I started to dress up quite a bit on filming days.

I also looked at her styling from time to time.

But today, he came out wearing a baseball cap pulled down low, so I tilted my head without realizing it.

Then she smiled faintly.

“Today’s video needs to capture the school zone more clearly than me! It’s enough for me to just look like a staff member!”

Is that so?

That might be the case.

Today is the day we have a meeting to work on the visuals for the school zone.

That’s why I thought it wouldn’t be bad if Lee Hwi-ya just came out with the concept of a pretty staff. After all, if you like someone, you’ll still like them no matter what they do.

Upon arriving at Stella Entertainment, the manager of the school zone came out to greet us.

“Welcome! The kids have been waiting so long for you.”

“is it so?”

“Yes! I told you that there has been chaos for the past week because we wanted to show the new song and choreography to the PD quickly.”

The corners of my mouth went up on their own.

It feels so good to know that someone is thinking of me and waiting for me.

“Great. Really? I’m looking forward to it too. I want to see it soon.”

“Come this way.”

I headed to the practice room following the manager’s instructions.

“Here it is.”

As the manager opened the door to one of the practice rooms and walked in, Hwiya, me, and the cameraman who had come along to film all flinched at the same time.

“Is this… … correct?”

“I know?”

The manager entered the practice room so calmly, but the lights were off.

The cold air unique to a dark classroom wafts in along with the smell of the practice room’s wooden floor.

‘What? What is it?’

Although I was puzzled, I followed the manager in for the time being.

Lee Hwi-ya followed me in closely behind, and the cameraman slowly entered, filming our backs.

and,

“Manager, are you here?”

At that very moment, when I called my manager in the practice room, which was darker than usual because my eyes were not adjusted,

Flash!

Suddenly, bright lights came on.

“Ugh… … !”

I squinted at the sudden light.

At the same time, rhythmic yet somehow hazy music flowed into my ears.

A song that is playful, but somehow leaves a lingering impression.

bang!

I heard the sound of steps being taken.

“Ouch!”

I saw Lee Hwi-ya covering his mouth while making a strange sound.

I didn’t even think about covering my mouth and just opened it wide.

ENFJ♩ INFP♬

ENTJ♩ ISTP♬

ESFP♬ And us.

A footwork that involves taking steps in perfect sync with the song.

A happy looking face.

Dancing skills with clear control of tempo.

I knew it the moment I saw it.

Ah! This is School Zone’s new song and choreography!

The guys started dancing passionately as if they were being judged at some idol competition.

“you…….”

I forced myself to swallow the exclamation that escaped me without me knowing.

I’m afraid it might break the children’s concentration.

oh my god.

I don’t know what expression to make.

So it’s a surprise now?

You turned off the lights and waited for me to come in, and then you just started dancing?

After all the complicated emotions, such as emotion and pride, passed, the children’s pure dance and song were seen.

A song that is both relaxing and upbeat.

The song, which seems to introduce each member using MBTI as a theme, is so catchy that you’ll find yourself humming it after just one listen.

The way the children expressed it was incredibly free.

Rather than a tightly-fitting sword dance, each member dances to bring out their own individuality.

In the case of Han Min-ha, with force.

In Emily’s case, it’s full of swagger.

Yeo Min-seo’s dance was beautiful and stood out despite the fact that it seemed like she was dancing without any effort.

Shizuka was cute

Yun Chae-in was elegant.

So it felt like a kind of jazz ensemble.

It feels like a group of children who are different from each other but each have their own charm, sometimes competing and sometimes getting along, having fun together.

Just looking at it makes me feel good.

‘I think this will be really popular in short form?’

The MBTI craze that once swept South Korea has naturally died down over time.

But it remains a familiar material to everyone, just like blood types.

I had a feeling that this song would become a huge hit as the MBTI song, as it brought out a lively melody and catchy lyrics.

And when the song reached its climax, the kids tried something amazing.

“Whoa!”

“omg!”

Lee Hwi-ya let out a short scream, and I was shocked along with him.

Boohoo!

Han Min-ha jumped onto the hands of Yeo Min-seo and Yoon Chae-in and literally flew into the sky.

As the relatively short Shizuka and Emily blocked the front and posed, Han Min-ha jumped over them, struck a pose while pressing his head in the air, and then did a hero landing with a thud!

What did I see?

Isn’t that kind of performance something you would only see in boy groups?

It was a move that truly cemented the image of Han Min-ha, who was redefining the concept of an athletic girl.

So was it bad?

No. The seal applause came out on its own.

Men secretly tend to be more attracted to girls with amazing physiques than to delicate girls who can’t do anything.

It’s so pretty,

If it’s cool,

How can you stand that?

It was a scene that truly shocked me like lightning.

“Gyaaaaaaah!”

Finally, when the School Zone performance was over, Lee Hwi-ya screamed and jumped up and down.

Looking at his face reddening, he looked like a fan who had been in a trance.

“Hehehe. How was it?”

Shizuka asked me, out of breath.

With his signature innocent smile.

What else is there to say?

I gave a double thumbs up.

“It was the best!”

What am I saying?

Seeing those guys high-fiving each other as if they had won some kind of award… … made me reaffirm my resolve.

Let’s really work hard.

We need to give these cool kids wings!

* * *

After a pleasant time thanks to the surprise prepared by School Zone, we moved to the main meeting.

In the large conference room, not only me, Lee Hwi-ya, and School Zone, but also the music video director and photographer gathered.

Now, the real visual work begins.

First, executive producer Seon Hye-in opened her mouth.

She looked tired and worn out in her comfortable tracksuit, but her eyes were sparkling.

“The key to this concept is to bring out the individuality of each member of School Zone. So I’m going to actively listen to the members’ opinions. If you have any thoughts, please tell me. It’s okay if they’re vague.”

At her words, the children raised their hands one after another.

It seems like there was something that was thought about in advance.

“Okay. Let’s start with Emily.”

Then Emily jumped up and said proudly.

“Let’s go with the American Backstreet concept!”

“uh?”

“If you think of individuality, it’s Backstreet! How about a concept where each person grows up in their own way in a dark Harlem and then meets and joins forces?”

Seon Hye-in rubbed her eyebrows.

“Emily?”

“Pressure!”

“Dismissed.”

“Wow, wow!!”

“The goal is to bring out each and every individual’s individuality. Then, we have to do it with sincerity. Most of our School Zone members grew up in middle-class homes and received a lot of love, so what about the Backstreet concept… … . I don’t know about other times, but this time, it won’t work.”

Then Emily stuck out her lips.

“next.”

When Seon Hye-in shouted without even looking at her as if she was used to it, this time Hoshi Shizuka raised her hand.

“How about the spirit concept? Each one according to their own personality! Emily is the fire spirit. Chae In is the flower spirit. Min Seo is the wind spirit. Min Ha is the lightning spirit… …!”

“Dismissed.”

“yes?!”

“It’s okay to give each spirit their own personality based on their attributes, but the concept of spirits is too fairytale-like.”

“Ugh… … .”

After that, each person raised their hand and announced the concept they had come up with.

The children expressed their true feelings, sometimes confidently and sometimes shyly.

But Seon Hye-in coldly dismissed them.

Because I gave a clear reason for rejecting the request, the children seemed to understand.

“Umm… … . It’s difficult.”

School zone members groaning.

Executive Producer Seon Hye-in glanced at them and then suddenly looked at Lee Hwi-ya.

“You said your name was Lee Hwi-ya, right?”

“Ah! Yes! Yes!”

“Do you have any ideas?”

“Me, me?”

“Yes. Since you’re already at the meeting, please say something.”

Her speech was businesslike, but strangely warm.

Thanks to that, Lee Hwi-ya was able to express his opinion, even though he was cautious and wondered if he could get involved.

“I… … I would like to include the keyword ‘travel.’”

oh?

I found myself letting out a gasp without realizing it.

travel.

Somehow, these two letters really caught my attention.

Seonhyein’s eyes also lit up.

“A trip?”

“Yes. This concept making itself started as a program called . So… … I think it would be good to include the keyword ‘travel’ in it.”

“Travel… …. Travel. Is it okay?”

As Seon Hye-in responded positively, the School Zone members also began to add their own opinions as if they had been waiting for it.

“Wow! Hwiya unnie! That sounds really good! Travel! Travel! A healing trip? Hiking! Going to the Himalayas or something… …!”

The first person to call Lee Hwi-ya, whom she saw for the first time today, “Unnie” and start chattering away was, as expected, Hoshi Shizuka.

Emily Cruz countered there.

“No! Sister! Of course, if it’s a trip, it’s a hitchhiking trip. Hitchhiking~ Five fearless girls holding their thumbs up on the highway! Freedom, romance, and guns!”

“I hate guns!”

While Shizuka and Emily were meowing, Yeo Min-seo, who had been quiet, raised her hand slightly.

“Camping… … How about it? Friends you haven’t seen in a long time go camping together and have fun… … .”

Then, Han Min-ha also suddenly intervened.

“If I’m going to travel, it’s backpacking.”

Something was burning.

Perhaps because they felt like they had a direction, the children chattered excitedly, and producer Seon Hye-in nodded as if it made sense while writing them down one by one on the whiteboard.

travel…….

Because it’s a trip… … .

I too was lost in thought.

The important thing is to reveal the individuality of each of the five members, while also establishing a concept that has a unified tone and manner.

Healing journey.

camping

Hitchhiking.

Backpacking.

But the best part is… … .

After thinking about it for a while, a thought occurred to me without me knowing it.

Girls of all kinds from all over the world.

Those who were strangers to each other come together, utilize their talents to cooperate, cry and laugh, and become close… … .

“World… …Scout Competition?”

I blurted out the thought that suddenly occurred to me,

“ah!”

Producer Seon Hye-in looked at me with eyes that looked like they had been struck by lightning.
