Episode 139 KATA TON DAIMONA EAYTOY (2)
It is often expressed as standing on stage…
I once looked into it because I was curious about what exactly the stage meant.
The great thing about the 21st century is that you don’t have to open a thick dictionary to find out something.
Dictionaries are bulky and heavy, but if you don’t have one when you need it, it can be quite difficult. So there was a time when English dictionaries and Korean dictionaries were essential in students’ bags.
That was exactly my time.
I may sound like an old fart when I say this, but the fact that I’m still twenty-one is still quite funny.
A real twenty-one-year-old these days, other than me, probably hasn’t even had experience with a dictionary or anything like that.
Anyway, leaving that aside.
The stage is defined as follows:
A stage built in front of the audience for singing, dancing, acting, etc.
therefore.
A stage inevitably requires an audience.
In the end, it is the audience that fills the seats that completes the stage.
I am now experiencing the definition of the stage once again.
“Ah, ah! Students, this is the vice principal! Calm down! Over there! No spraying water! What grade and class are you in?”
Through the outdoor speakers facing the playground, the voice of the person calling himself the homeroom teacher continues.
“Vice principal… … There are parents here right now… … Vice principal, please calm down first… … .”
Also flowing through the microphone is the heartfelt advice of someone we don’t know, probably one of our teachers.
Shh …
That’s why I really like the stage.
This view from above is something that those who have never experienced being on stage will never know, even if they go there their whole life. It gives them a huge dopamine rush.
Right now, here.
Look at the audience… … cheering for us.
“Whoa! This fucking thing! It’s blue porcelain!”
“It’s Yoon Tae-joo!”
“Move!”
“Crazy! Why did Blackfox come here!”
“Try singing a song!”
I do hear some comments that are a bit childish, but who cares?
It’s a problem when adults act like kids, but it’s natural for kids to act like kids sometimes.
It was a bit annoying that the kids were swearing, but I knew that I couldn’t raise them all while controlling them one by one. So I waved my hand away from the one who was swearing.
“Wow!”
The screams of male students who have not yet reached puberty.
“Oppaaaaaa!”
There are screams from young schoolgirls that make you feel bad for hearing your older brother’s name.
This is the stage.
We are Blue Porcelain.
But a mighty roar comes through the speakers.
“Hey! Who is that student who swore!”
Well, this school… … is attractive… … .
I was a little startled by the sudden shout and looked at where the teacher was standing… … and there was a skinny old man holding the microphone.
Looking at things like this, it is clear that talent is something that is innate.
With that skinny body and at that age, he has that kind of internal energy.
While I was having this random thought that I probably would have been quite successful if I had become a singer.
The homeroom teacher continued speaking, pressing his slightly bare forehead with a towel.
“Haa… … I’ll keep talking… … Everyone, calm down. As those who know know, one of the members of the hot potato Blue Porcelain at the time is a parent of our school. Despite his busy schedule, he came to celebrate the sports day… … Over there! Parents! Don’t yell! Aren’t I talking! You can yell later when the performance starts!”
Anyway, there was chaos.
If you ask why a rock band is at the neighborhood elementary school sports day, the answer is common sense.
I looked at Tae-joo hyung with a glare.
My brother is Rosa.
In the past, my hair was long, so if you looked at the back of my head, I looked like a woman.
Roy… …let’s do it for Youngpil.
But he still grows up well.
Finally, I turn around and make eye contact with Dongsik, and he asks me this with his eyes.
‘why?’
It’s very simple, that guy.
So let’s call it a cat.
That’s all that’s left anyway.
But the vice principal who acts as the moderator was alive… … No, it seems he used to be quite the snob.
After Dongsik, my gaze turned to the homeroom teacher. When our eyes met, he nodded with a slight smile as if he understood.
“Introducing! A new rock band that just returned from a Southeast Asian tour! The potatoes of our time! Blue Pocherieeeee!”
The expression “hot…” was omitted, but that doesn’t matter.
If it’s not hot, why don’t you just make it hot?
The comment is also very old-fashioned, but that’s the feeling. I think that teacher intentionally made the comment that way.
“Rock and Roll! Yeongdong Elementary School Forever!”
Along with my shouting, the firecrackers that the performance planning team had quickly prepared exploded with a bang.
Even though it was just after the sports day, it was still broad daylight.
So the fireworks aren’t very visible, but that doesn’t matter.
Firecrackers are signal flares.
From now on, you can scream as much as you want.
I shouted into the microphone at the top of my lungs, thinking that there might be someone who didn’t understand.
“Scream!”
“Kkaaaah!”
“Oppaaaaaa!”
“Mr. Chairman! I am Jae-min Oh of Jae-min Securities! Please wave your hand here!”
hmm.
As I glanced at him while holding the microphone, Tae-joo hyung raised his hand slightly and waved it in my direction.
My brother secretly likes this kind of thing too.
“Master! I greet you, disciple!”
huh……?
I looked down the stage at the sound that was completely out of place… … and saw the child Daeyoon.
The guy next to him keeps jumping around… Where have I seen him…?
Anyway, a kid with a familiar face looks at me and bows deeply.
Oh my.
It’s always fun here.
* * *
The 21st century is connected.
For that reason, Blue Porcelain’s visit to Yeongdong Elementary School was carried out secretly.
“Hey. I heard there’s a blue porcelain store next door?”
“You’re talking crazy. Why is Blue Porcelain here?”
Student A immediately reacted angrily to his friend’s words, but he found it to be reasonable.
There’s nothing around here.
There are reasons for singers to come to concert halls, event venues, and broadcasting stations.
“I told you I’m really here? Look!”
I check the phone my friend handed me, and there are various tags on it, such as Blue Porcelain, Lee Dong-ha, and Chairman Yoon Tae-joo.
“Yeongdong… …Why is elementary school tagged? What about my son’s sports day?”
“X-shin-ah. Look at the pictures, not the text.”
I couldn’t respond to my friend’s Hammurabi-like counterattack, which returned insults with insults, so I just looked at the photo.
It’s an angle taken from below, but it’s quite close.
The stage and the singer on the stage.
So there was no reason to question whether this photo was real or fake.
“Are you moving?”
“I told you I was right!”
“No… … But why did you come here?”
“I heard Hong Young-pil’s son goes to Yeongdong Elementary School?”
The marriage age in Korea is getting lower and lower, which is becoming a social problem. Despite this, today’s elementary school parents are young.
These are the people who treat things like Stargram lightly, whether it’s Youngpo or Youngsirty.
That’s why real-time photos of Blue Porcelain being welcomed are being uploaded to SNS.
“Wow, sir. I’m jealous. You rock spoon.”
“Rock spoon?”
“My dad is in a rock band, so he wears blue porcelain to the sports day. That’s why it’s called a rock jersey.”
“It’s not too late to buy your father a guitar.”
“I already ordered it. For babies.”
“Crazy. Ugh.”
The boys’ school’s reaction ended at this level.
“Gyah! Dong-ha oppa is here!”
“Teacher! I have a headache so I think I should leave work early!”
“That Apollo eye disease!”
“I have varicose veins!”
All kinds of nylon patients are popping up in girls’ schools.
Of course… …school isn’t such an easy place, but there are bound to be those who force themselves to escape.
They continue to flock to Yeongdong Elementary School.

very good.
That’s why singers need to be able to perform live.
Basically, I think that I should sing live on stage so that I am not embarrassed.
That doesn’t mean I’m disparaging idols like NBD9 or Bitnaris. They’re just going in different directions.
That’s why you have to experience it.
Even though they only sing their parts in short segments, maintaining stable vocalization while dancing intensely requires tremendous stamina.
I know because I tried it.
Honestly, singing a ballad while playing MR is… …a different matter.
Rock bands even more so.
I can’t admit that.
Am I being old-fashioned if I say this?
I’ve been thinking about that a bit lately.
It seems like there’s nothing we can do about it.
Although I’m only 21 years old, I’ve lived for 80-90 years… …so I might have an old-fashioned personality.
“Oppaaaaaa!”
I suddenly had that thought as I watched the parents yelling at their children without paying attention to their husbands who were right next to them.
‘Really? You’re my older brother, right?’
Here, most of the parents who come to see me are younger than me.
Not age, but by year of birth.
So I smiled and waved in their direction again.
This is what it means to use more force than usual.
Using an expanded stage.
As I ran and jumped down from the stage, those who had been screaming backed away hesitantly.
It’s because I’m not used to this culture.
Both the children and the parents.
“How are you feeling today?”
I approached the mother who had been screaming earlier and handed her the microphone while asking her a question.
He didn’t grab it, I held it and pointed it at the mic.
Then, she blushes and says shyly.
“great…….”
“You yelled loudly earlier! Louder!”
“Okay!”
“Okay! Then here we go again! If your voice was quiet, I would have stopped!”
And then, as I was about to go up on stage… … .
Oh, I think I’ve felt this way before too.
When I came down, I was able to do it with one jump, but when I tried to go up, I felt like I had no form.
I tried stretching my legs, but the platform was too high.
I ran quickly and climbed the stairs leading to the stage.
“Wow! That’s so funny!”
The kids burst into laughter.
Parents and teachers don’t care about that and enjoy it. Elementary school students are honest, you know.
“Pretend you don’t know, kids!”
“Why are you angry!”
“I’m not angry! If I really get angry, you guys are in big trouble!”
Meanwhile, a familiar face who had called me teacher earlier approached me and stretched out his hand.
The teachers and the people from the performance planning company were controlling it, but I don’t know how they got involved.
“Master! Please hold my hand!”
So before taking her hand, I crouched down, looked down at the stage, and asked.
“Why do you keep calling me master?”
“With great power! Great responsibility! I’m putting it into practice!”
ah?
ah!
Those guys.
Youngpil Junior was being bullied.
“Are you living a good life?”
“Totally!”
“Okay! Let’s keep going!”
I stretch out my hand and grab the little one’s hand. The little one starts jumping around and is dragged into the arms of a man who appears to be his father.
Yeah, well.
Is the elementary school sports day anything special?
Enjoying it.
But is it because I’m feeling that the number of people keeps increasing?
Whatever it is, rock is fun.
Wherever our stage is.
If you watch our stage and at this moment, you can put down all the burdens of the world and just jump around, that’s enough for you.
If the audience is what defines the stage, then taking away the soul of that audience is like that.
That’s rock.
