Producer with no Regrets - Chapter 532



Only Noblemtl

Episode 532

‘Aoa’ filming is divided into morning, afternoon, and early evening. The order is Jiyu, Joara, and Ginger.

Those three just need to come according to their filming schedule… … .

“PD.”

“uh.”

The staff looked at the three idols gathered on one side of the filming set.

All three of them gathered together in the morning as if they had made a promise. Jiyu was originally supposed to be filming in the morning, so that would be the case, but Joara and Ginger probably had nothing to do.

“It must be because the three of us are close… … ?”

That being said, the three of them didn’t really talk much. They only talked briefly once in a while, and spent the rest of the time playing with their phones or warming up.

“You must want to see your competitors.”

“I’ll show you the video later when I interview you.”

“Maybe you want to see it for yourself.”

“Wow, I can feel the rivalry.”

The shoot doesn’t end with just one dance.

The camera angles change from time to time, backup dancers appear and disappear, the lighting intensity and color change, and costumes change.

The number of times that a video of about 3 minutes needs to be filmed is more than a dozen times. It is also necessary to take breaks to consider the condition of the idol.

“If I wait for the other participants to finish, it takes up almost the entire day.”

“I know.”

The PD felt his blood boiling for some reason.

Although there were cases like this, most idols only came to their filming locations on time.

Later, they would check out the videos of their competitors and show a ritualistic reaction. That was the level of consciousness that most idols had.

As the PD who planned ‘Aoa,’ I feel bitter, but neither the viewers nor the idols think of this program as competition.

‘I think it’s just a matter of splitting the votes and saving face for each other.’

What’s important is the video that will be uploaded to iTube.

Gaining as many views as possible with that video to raise awareness. That’s the real competition for idols.

‘But they are different.’

They see each other as true competitors.

At least that’s what the PD thought.

The PD looked at the coffee on the tea table. Usually, during morning shoots, he couldn’t open his eyes, so he had to pour several cups of coffee into his stomach.

‘I don’t think I’ll need it today.’

Just looking at those three makes my eyes light up.

* * *

Lunch time.

Seongpil and Joara came out of the studio and had lunch together.

“How was it, Unnie Jiyu?”

When Jo Ara asked, Seongpil just laughed.

It was an intentional avoidance of the answer. Considering Jo Ara’s mentality, it would be better for Sungpil not to evaluate his competitors.

But Jo Ara continued to stare at Seongpil.

Seongpil met her eyes nervously.

“… … Are you really telling me?”

“Yes. I think it’s just watching a movie and chatting. There are parts that were good, and parts that weren’t so good, you know?”

It’s not something to be talked about so lightly.

Seongpil had to think hard. Should he belittle Jiyu to encourage Joara’s will, or should he give her some nice praise?

Or should I just show my affection for the idol Jiyu… … .

“Be honest, be honest.”

“To be honest, no one who says that responds well.”

“Why, sir, did your ex-girlfriend do that?”

When Seongpil was surprised, Joara smiled proudly.

“I get why you broke up. People like that really annoy you. You tell them to do something because you want to, and they get mad. Isn’t that right?”

Seongpil was careful with his words.

Joara poked at her salad with her fork as if it wasn’t fun.

“But you’re still protecting my honor because I loved her in the past? That’s quite gentle.”

“Jiyu… … .”

Seongpil tried to explain to Jiyu as if he was being chased by something. Then Joara pricked up her ears and looked at his lips.

“It was awesome.”

“Is that all?”

“I can’t go into detail about each and every one of them, but it was just amazing. The experience itself was amazing.”

“It was awesome.”

“huh.”

“Especially the last minute.”

“… … .”

Jiyu danced to Katy Perry’s “California Girls,” which is a California state song and the most-played song in California the year it was released.

An exciting melody that makes you shake your body without realizing it.

Cool vocals that remind you of the sea.

Accordingly, the strength that Jiyu put forward was her sexuality.

“I wondered what it was when he turned around and started dancing.”

In the last minute, Jiyu turned around and danced.

Usually, dancing is done in front of the audience. The most distinctive parts of a human being are almost all in front. Starting with the face… … Anyway.

But Jiyu turned her back to the camera and danced in the final highlight, and a completely unexpected effect occurred.

“It was definitely the same choreography as the highlight verses 1 and 2, but wasn’t it a lot sexier? When the male staff first saw that part, they gasped. There were also people who looked away.”

“Oh, that’s right. I didn’t think the atmosphere would change completely just by dancing. The choreographer is smart, right? Do they learn choreography like that in college? After all, people have to learn and see… .”

“The old man watched without even closing his eyes.”

“It’s a work of art! Why should I turn away? Why should I become Oedipus!”

“Okay, okay. Who said what? You’re just making excuses by getting angry.”

Joara laughed heartily.

Maybe she sees a challenge in her eyes? Something like ‘Teasing Sungpil 10 times’.

Seongpil turned his eyes away from her as if he was fed up with it.

‘But I didn’t know that Yoon Sang-yeol would make Ji-yu dance like that.’

Given Yoon Sang-yeol’s personality, he would have interfered in detail during the performance directing process. He would have been so enthusiastic that the choreographer would have quit the job out of frustration.

‘There’s no way that the charm that Yoon Sang-yeol sees in Ji-yu-han is sexuality.’

It was different from the direction I had in my previous life.

Did Yoon Sang-yeol discover a new charm in Ji-yu? Well, it wouldn’t be hard to change his mind after watching Ji-yu dance today.

But, given Yoon Sang-yeol’s personality, he would probably hurriedly tear it apart and say, ‘This isn’t the Ji-yu I know!’

Because Yoon Sang-yeol trusts the images in his head more than the unique individuality of a human being.

‘Did Jiyu make a strong claim?’

I remembered the conversation I had with Rahee a while ago. She had boldly declared that she would put a leash on Yoon Sang-yeol.

‘Did that work…?’

Joara emptied half of her salad bowl and put her fork down.

“I’m going to stop eating.”

“Are you not feeling well?”

“I feel hot inside.”

“Do you want to go to the bathroom?”

“Ah, I really can’t find any subtlety even if I look hard. I’m just so excited.”

“I’m excited… … .”

“Why are you suddenly so serious? What, are you trying to be sexy? Stop looking at weird communities. That’s not it. My blood is boiling. I want to empty my stomach.”

The next shoot is Jo Ara’s turn.

It’s understandable to be nervous.

Jiyu and Ginger, especially Ginger, will be watching.

Ginger approached Joara today and formally apologized for her previous rudeness. Joara also apologized again, saying that she had been too harsh.

I thought things would be okay between them, but today the two of them only talked a little.

Both of them seemed reluctant to talk.

‘You must have complicated feelings.’

Even when playing a game against friends, uncomfortable situations arise, but Joara and Ginger have to compete as dancers.

“Shall we go in?”

“yes.”

The two walked side by side toward the studio.

“mister.”

“huh.”

“What do you think of the choreography I changed?”

Jo Ara had informed Sungpil that she had changed the choreography. She literally just informed him, and didn’t ask him if it was good or not.

The question that had been pending has now arisen.

“article…….”

“Compared to what my ex-girlfriend made. It’s a performance, not a choreography.”

Seongpil paused for a moment, then smiled brightly and said,

“I like you better.”

Joara also smiled brightly.

‘liar.’

* * *

Before filming, Joara stood in front of the bathroom mirror and checked her appearance.

No matter how I look at it, it feels like a recreation of the outfit from the ‘Long Four’ days. A bra top over black suit pants, and even a jacket.

It is designed to maximize the curves of the body. It sticks to the body, but the material is spandex so it stretches flexibly.

The shoes are Walkers. The only downside is that they are a bit heavy, but the weight itself isn’t bad.

“ha…….”

Joara let out a hot breath.

The blood flowed quickly to my body.

I want to dance right now.

It’s a cliché term, but it gets my blood boiling.

‘How do you compare me to Jiyu unnie?’

I don’t know.

‘Then how does it compare to Ginger?’

I don’t know.

I don’t know, but I will win.

That was the case for Siace’s Kyuyoung. She said that the happiest moment while filming ‘Aoa’ was when she won by receiving votes from the other two contestants.

Regardless of the number of views or public recognition, he said it felt like walking on clouds.

‘I guess so.’

The main dancer is a lonely position.

The main vocalist is immediately recognizable to people. In a country where there are several karaoke rooms in every neighborhood, people know much more about the song.

Competition programs also overwhelmingly feature singing rather than dancing.

‘A lonely position, with no one to look after it properly.’

No matter how well you dance, it’s hard to become a topic of conversation.

In the first place, idols’ dances are group dances.

In a military drama, everyone should be the main character, and not one person should stand out.

The main dancer is lonely because he has no chance to show off the strengths he has honed for the longest time.

‘But it’s different here.’

People watch the dance.

The evaluation is based solely on the dance.

Those with an eye for dance will be judged by their fellow competitors.

Even the public has to focus on dancing.

“individuality…….”

Yes, every dance is unique and individual.

They say there is no way to tell which is better.

But that’s a lie.

Superiority can be divided.

Even if you just look at idol and trainee competition programs, it’s obvious that they’re superior and inferior to the public, even though they’re performing different songs and dancing.

All idols are unique. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t levels among idols.

‘Everyone is a winner, no two stories are the same.’

Joara promised to stand at the top.

I made a promise with the company people, the members, and Seongpil.

If you can’t beat your competitors in the area you’re most confident in, the title of top becomes even more distant.

Joara reminds me of Baek Seol-ha.

She is the main vocalist of Girls’ League and brings to mind the unrivaled queen of the idol world.

‘The teacher did it.’

Snow White has reached the top, holding the hands of all the Girls’ League members. Now it is Jo Ara’s turn. She too must take a step forward together with Snow White.

“let’s go.”

Jo Ara swept back her trademark short hair and came out of the bathroom.

Before long, Ginger’s loud voice could be heard from around the corner of the hallway.

“The song I used as a practice song became the title song. This is truly proof of talent.”

“Is that what you told me before?”

“Yes. It’s the song that moved Director Park to tears when he heard it!”

Joara paused.

I was just thinking of approaching him, but Sungpil cried when he heard Ginger’s song?

‘… … Ah, that’s right.’

I think I’ve heard it before.

When I spoke to Ginger on the phone, she said that with a voice that couldn’t hide her pride.

“But the people at the company are worried. I think they think that I don’t fit in with Keus.”

“Is it okay for you to tell me that?”

“Can’t it be done?”

“Isn’t it true that information obtained through business at the company cannot be disclosed to the outside?”

“yes?”

“It should be written in the contract… … .”

“I couldn’t read that (I really ‘couldn’t’ read it)!”

Jo Ara felt sick whenever she saw Ginger and Sung Pil being so close. Especially when Sung Pil claimed to be Ginger’s fan and did all sorts of favors for her.

I was even more upset because I knew why Sungpil liked Ginger and Caius. Caius is Sungpil’s idol.

“But in the promotional article, it says that Soyou wrote the lyrics. Is that true?”

“How dare you doubt KS Entertainment?”

“Why do you keep looking around?”

“It’s not like I’m a profiler, but I’m a pro! … … My older sister Soyou wrote the lyrics, but she did help me a little bit… … .”

“I don’t want to hear that kind of talk anymore… … .”

Yes, Joara used to get upset whenever she saw those two.

But today I didn’t really think about that.

“mister.”

Because Joara’s opponent today wasn’t Ginger.

“Hey, Araya. Are you ready?”

“Hello, Ara.”

Joara’s opponent today is.

“Cheer up… … .”

“Sir, let’s go.”

“Oh, uh, yeah.”

Seongpil’s ex-girlfriend is a human being.

* * *

“It’s cool.”

Ginger watched Joara dance as if she was entranced.

Joara danced under simple white lights. The backup dancers behind her were barely visible.

Ginger’s eyes sparkled and she was enthusiastic about Joara’s every breath, gesture, step, and movement.

Even as the filming continued for two hours, Ginger’s enthusiasm showed no signs of cooling down.

“Isn’t it cool?”

Brian nodded indifferently to Ginger’s question. He couldn’t tell how many times he had been asked that question. And he had already told her dozens of times that she was cool.

“He has talent.”

The corners of Ginger’s mouth rose high in a smile at Brian’s brief assessment.

“I enjoy dancing itself.”

There was no sense of pressure to do well in Joara’s movements. Unable to control her boiling blood, she let her limbs fly freely.

The joy is transmitted to the viewer as well.

The form of the dance and the emotions contained in the dance are the two main criteria for evaluating a dance.

However, unlike visible forms, emotions are entirely dependent on the subjectivity of the viewer.

So, there are some who argue that emotional expression should be excluded from the evaluation, but everyone agrees that emotions add depth to the dance.

“It has depth.”

Brian looked at Joara carefully.

It seems as if all the years she has been dancing are clearly visible, and most of those years have been filled with joy and happiness.

It’s understandable that she has that much energy at such a young age. I can fully understand why she’s an idol.

“Again, here it comes again!”

Ginger grabbed Brian’s arm and shook him roughly, as if she was begging him to see her.

Joara performed highlight choreography.

She bounced gracefully, wearing a jacket loosely draped over her arms, exposing her shoulders and arms.

The bra top Joara was wearing had a V-neck, so it exposed a lot of her chest. Ginger almost fainted when she saw it.

“Ara-ssi sexy!”

Brian was fat.

‘What’s sexy about having almost no sternum?’

Is it just that the atmosphere is sexy?

Or is there a point of attraction between women that men cannot know?

As soon as Joara finished filming, Ginger also emerged from the frenzy.

“Ara is a great dancer.”

Ginger said excitedly.

“I thought about it since I met you in America. I decided to become a fan of Ara, and that feeling hasn’t changed even now. She’s really so cool… … .”

“He’s cool. He’s talented. But… … .”

Brian said nonchalantly.

“It’s limited to ‘entertainment and dance’.”

“… … What did you say?”

Ginger didn’t quite understand what Brian was saying, but she caught the dismissive tone in his voice.

Brian shrugged his shoulders slyly as she glared at him.

‘You too.’

Instead of answering, Brian just smiled angrily at Ginger.

‘You see that kid as an idol, not a dancer.’

Ginger is just crazy about Joara because she sees her as an idol. If she saw Joara as a dancer and considered her real competitor… … .

‘I can’t like something this purely.’

The reason Ginger likes Joara is, paradoxically, because she thinks of Joara as inferior to her.

Brian saw it through.

* * *

There is a standard for a hit among the ‘Aoa’ PD and writers.

If the number of views exceeds 10 million, it will be a huge hit. And just like with Jiyu, the staff realized it right away after seeing Jo Ara’s dance.

‘This is awesome!’

It will spread all over SNS and communities and easily surpass 10 million views!

The production team of ‘Aoa’ had a commercial aesthetic. Their aesthetic shouts out loud.

Joara’s stage was different from that of ordinary idols.

While the staff quietly chewed on their excitement, Jo Ara, who had finished filming, said goodbye to the backup dancers. Then she ran towards Sungpil.

“How was it, sir!”

Joara’s face was filled with pride as she asked that question. She also knew that she had shown a performance that was far beyond her capabilities.

After filming one take, we checked the footage, and every time, Jo Ara couldn’t believe it.

Is this really me?

I danced like this?

Even the backup dancers did not hold back on their heartfelt praise.

‘Ara-ssi, aren’t you really talented at creating choreography? It’s much better than before, really.’

Joara’s eyes sparkled.

Seongpil’s face was also filled with emotion.

“Honestly, I don’t cry very often, but when I saw Ara dancing, tears started to flow… … .”

“Don’t lie! Your eyes are like the Nile, John, and they flood periodically!”

“Our Ara, genius manjae, be an idol forever… … .”

“Oh, I’ll do it as much as I want! I’ll do it until we build hundreds of new Garo Enter buildings!”

Seongpil was truly moved.

The new choreography that Jo Ara created made her present stand out much more than the choreography that he had taught her in her past life.

It can’t be helped.

Because Joara had thought of the problem herself and had modified it to suit her.

The flowing urban dance style has been partially transformed into Joara’s street style, and has become more technically advanced than before.

It was a self-introduction written by Jo Ara herself, truly revealing who she is.

“No, really, you should be laughing. Why are you crying… … .”

When I saw Sungpil shedding tears, I felt like crying too. It was an emotion that I couldn’t feel without relief and satisfaction.

Joara was confident.

You did such a good job that it couldn’t have been better.

I don’t know if I danced better than Sungpil’s ex-girlfriend, but I was proud that I was at least on par with her. Sungpil’s tears were the proof.

“Sir, stop crying and sit down and calm down.”

“huh…….”

The two sat side by side and enjoyed the afterglow.

Meanwhile, the staff adjusted the set and lighting to fit Ginger’s stage. After the adjustments were completed, Ginger, her backup dancers, and a dozen or so of Brian’s students came up on stage together.

And it didn’t take long for Joara to realize that she was excited.

“… … .”

Joara felt as if her eyes were turning white.

* * *

There is a standard for a hit among the ‘Aoa’ PD and writers. That standard is breaking 10 million.

And currently, the highest number of views for ‘Aoa’ is 40 million. Perhaps that is the benchmark for calling it a blockbuster.

It is a standard that we do not know whether someone will break in the future, and it is unlikely that someone will.

however.

“This is, wow… … .”

It broke through.

Ginger’s performance far surpassed the benchmark of a blockbuster hit. The video had 40 million views. I didn’t feel this way even when I saw the main character’s performance in person.

I got goosebumps all over my body.

“It’s just a work of art… … .”

Christina Perri’s ‘Human’.

Ginger and her backup dancers performed a ensemble dance to the majestic and beautiful song.

It was a feast of artistic skill that could not possibly be classified as commercial dance.

They writhed in the lyrics that cried out desperately, “I am human.”

Suffer like a human, fight like a human, get angry like a human, hate like a human, and fall like a human.

It’s almost like talking.

People were mesmerized by the way it seemed as if human language was perfectly translated into dance movements.

‘Artistic yet not difficult.’

It provides immediate enjoyment even without the basic knowledge and experience required to appreciate a dance piece.

Above all, it is beautiful.

It’s just beautiful.

It is so infinitely beautiful and sublime that it seems to grind and crush the brains of those who see it with every movement.

It drives home the idea that ‘we are all human, we are all equal and we are one’.

‘Message… … .’

If Jiyu and Joara tried to look cool by dancing to music, Ginger’s performance had a message.

Write your message through dance.

It drives the message home into the human heart.

The backup dancers stumble and fall here and there. Ginger stands alone in the center and takes slow steps forward.

The backup dancers rise up, each twisted, distorted, ugly, and at the same time determined.

Ginger reaches out to the sky.

The humans approach her. They hold each other’s hands and become entangled, and gather in a messy manner around Ginger, creating sparks.

A firework created by humans.

It is a beacon for humanity.

Soon, the humans fall one by one. Ginger, the only torch left in the middle, stands looking up at the sky. And she also closes her eyes and lowers her head.

Just once.

One take.

Ginger finished filming in one go.

Brian scanned the set, which was filled with silence, with satisfaction.

‘Oh, really… … .’

It’s a choreography that would be a shame to present in such a small country.

Still, he was satisfied.

‘Because I found the best protagonist.’

Ginger’s competitors are… … .

No, these are the kind of people who can’t even be called competitors anymore.

‘You don’t have to worry about it.’

In the face of this overwhelming artistry and talent, commercial dance that is so vulgar has no way of coping.

* * *

Joara often imagines herself dancing. She’s not the only one who does that.

Dancers all over the world imagine themselves more overwhelmingly than ordinary people.

Just as a lawyer can visualize the contents of a law book, or a painter can imagine the picture he is about to paint on canvas, a dancer can draw his own body as if he could touch it.

‘What is that?’

But this is the first time that Joara has experienced something like this.

Something was dancing on the filming stage that Ginger had left. Joara saw it and unconsciously wiggled her index finger to the rhythm.

Is it because Ginger’s dance is so vivid in your memory that you’re even seeing such illusions?

But for that to be the case, he is too small.

Just like myself… … .

‘What the heck, really?’

It is a black flame with a human shape. Or it can look like a human wrapped in cloudy smoke.

Something unidentifiable continues to dance on stage and in Joara’s head.

People kept appearing on top of that figure. It was Min Si-hwa, Ginger, Rick Kalman whom I met at the American Academy, and sometimes Seo Yu-seon, but in the end, it all came back to how it was.

Something small and black, like Joara.

‘This is no way… … .’

Joara would lie in bed and draw herself dancing on the ceiling.

Even when I’m practicing and taking a break, I imagine myself dancing in the mirror.

Even when I’m just walking down the street, I can clearly play back the dance I learned that day.

If you put your mind to it, you can even create a virtual partner right in front of you. But this is the first time I’ve seen such a virtual dancer so clearly.

‘Is this really me?’

It’s dancing.

What kind of dance is it?

‘The old man made it, no.’

This is the original choreography for ‘Bad’ that Sungpil’s ex-girlfriend made. He’s dancing to it.

Suddenly, I remembered what Baek Seol-ha had said.

‘A person who has studied singing for a long time and reached a certain level of skill can know how to sing before singing.’

From the moment the breath leaves your lungs, you know if the song is a success or not.

It is called the artist’s self-confidence. A sense close to foresight created through endless practice and practice.

It is a perfect inference and reasoning that is created through years, decades, and decades of accumulated experience.

At the same time, I remembered the conversation I had with Min Si-hwa.

It was competition day.

‘You didn’t practice?’

‘huh.’

‘Hey, even if it’s a dance you did a long time ago, how can you remember it if you don’t practice it? Wouldn’t it be better to practice it now?’

‘You don’t have to do it.’

Even if you don’t do it, you don’t know how to move or what to do.

That is the picture in the painter’s mind.

It is a memory engraved in the muscles of an athlete.

It is an instinct that comes from the novelist’s fingertips.

Joara’s muscles twitched. She tried to move without any intention of moving.

I feel like I can reach something now… … .

“Araya.”

Joara suddenly came to her senses.

“yes yes?”

“Do you want to try again?”

“What?”

“Let’s do it one more time. Dance.”

Joara looked around.

The staff were cleaning up the set.

The camera was folded, the folding chair was folded and moved, and the only thing that remained was the feeling that filming was over.

“Oh, what should I do? Don’t do that.”

Joara’s voice trembled for reasons she didn’t know.

“It’s all over.”

“I will kneel before you, PD-nim and ask you a favor.”

“No, even if I dance again, it’s the same… … .”

“Let’s do it again just as I taught you.”

“… … The original? Why?”

Seongpil avoided eye contact. And for a while he didn’t answer. Then he looked at Jo Ara.

Joara felt something strange.

It was clear that Seongpil didn’t know why he had to be like this. However, his eyes were filled with confidence.

He spoke in a firm voice, as if he were to say that he would regret it if he did not do it now.

“Wouldn’t it be a shame? Something is wrong now… … .”

Seongpil spoke as if he understood Joara’s feelings completely.

“When you saw Mr. Ginger, didn’t something just pop into your mind?”

“ah…….”

Joara looked up at the stage.

While I was talking to Seongpil, something black disappeared. I can’t quite picture it even when I try to recall it.

weird.

In the past, just thinking about dancing would make a vivid image in my head, but not anymore.

Did Sungpil make such an outrageous suggestion that he lost his mind?

“No, it’s okay. I’ll just fold it up. It’s a nuisance.”

“I miss you.”

Jo Ara, who had been looking down as if she had given up, raised her head and looked up at Seongpil.

“I want to see you dance that dance.”

Joara opened her mouth to say something, but then laughed quietly.

“Sir, is that a dance your ex-girlfriend made?”

“huh.”

“Your taste is really annoying.”

Joara got up from her seat.

“Oh, if I can, I’ll try.”

Seongpil’s face brightened and he ran to the PD.

And then a desperate feast of persuasion unfolded.

Just once is okay.

I know it’s a nuisance.

You don’t need backup dancers.

The lighting doesn’t need any fine tuning either.

Please let Ara dance, even just once.

Joara’s face turned red when she heard that. Ginger and Jiyu were also looking at Seongpil, wondering what was going on.

It’s so sudden.

There’s no way… … .

“please!”

Seongpil really got on his knees!

“Ah, sir, what are you doing… …!”

“I’m really sorry! But I’ll ask you just this once! I, I’ll definitely consider having the other kids appear here! How about Summer Queen Seol-ha?!”

Seongpil ended up selling even the sleeping Baekseolha.

I don’t know how desperate it is.

The staff looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

At that time, the PD laughed.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“thank you!”

The staff looked at the PD as if to say, ‘Really…?’

“The name of our program is ‘Artist of Artists.’ The artist said there’s more to do… … .”

PD stared at Joara from afar.

“Filming is over! Let’s go home! And then you just fold it up. That’s not the kind of attitude that suits our program. We need to pick the artist of the artist.”

If the artist has just one more thing left to show, the PD can extend the filming as much as he wants.

Seongpil looked back at Joara with a much happier expression than before.

“Araya!”

Seongpil waved his hand as if to tell them to come quickly.

Joara approached him blankly.

He approached and then stopped.

I feel strange.

It felt like there was a line drawn between my back and my front. And once I crossed that line, I felt like I couldn’t go back.

There’s another world ahead.

If you go to that world and see something different from now, now… … .

‘I won’t be able to enjoy dancing.’

I felt that way.

Joara looked back.

The staff were looking at her. Jiyu was among them.

Joara looked ahead again.

The PD and the filming crew were waiting for Jo Ara to arrive. Also, behind the stage, Ginger stopped on her way and looked at Jo Ara.

“Araya.”

And above all, Seongpil was waiting.

At his call, Joara stepped forward without hesitation.

To a world where you can no longer love dancing.

‘I miss you.’

To a world above the clouds where you have to struggle like crazy to avoid falling.

Joara stuck her head above the clouds.

What you see right away.

‘The Darkest.’

Joara is trying to cross the line.

In a different form than the previous life.
