Chapter 497 – #74. Yujong’s Beauty (1)
I went through several rehearsals with senior Yoona.
We started filming music videos in earnest.
“Wow, are you doing well?”
“Crazy. Are you the Yuna unnie we know? Aren’t you someone else?”
There was an uproar on the part of the Unol production team.
I was surprised that he was so good at recording, but I had no idea he would dance so well.
Since no one knew what kind of dance she was doing, it was a shock that almost knocked her over.
“The ratings will come out really well. People will go crazy when they see that.”
“Hong Yuna’s transformation! Are you completely okay?”
“It was a Jin Hae-sol special, but in reverse, it looks like a Hong Yoon-ah special.”
“Still, isn’t it okay since I changed like that thanks to Jin Hae-sol’s teachings?”
However, even amid such favorable reviews, I couldn’t help but smile when I saw the results of the filming.
‘I don’t like it.’
No, it’s rather serious.
It was something I hadn’t considered.
What is the most important thing when you stand on stage?
Of course, dancing and singing well.
But what is important on stage is only dancing and singing?
Facial expression acting was also a very important part to pay attention to on stage.
But I hadn’t even thought of that part.
‘I should have taught it earlier, but I was so distracted that I missed it.’
It’s not that Hong Yoon-ah is immature in her acting, but the fact that those performances are tailored to her variety shows caught her ankle.
To be honest, if I put away the affection for her senior for a while and evaluate her calmly.
‘Acting without foundation.’
The expression doesn’t look natural and it doesn’t feel cool.
Maybe it was because he exaggerated his expressions, but looking at the results of the filming, he looked awkward and even stiff.
“Hmm… Don’t you like it?”
“No. You did a really good job.”
“But don’t you look young?”
Hong Yuna sunbae-nim worried about whether I hadn’t managed my expression properly and kept looking at me.
“What are you lacking? Don’t worry alone and tell me something calmly. I’m frustrated!”
Honestly, I am aware that my standards are too high.
However, rather than lowering the standard, I wanted to work a little harder to match senior Hong Yuna to the standard.
“It was because it wasn’t the senior’s fault. You did really well as I taught you. But seeing the results like this, I keep getting greedy.”
“Greed?”
“Yeah, since the senior is doing so well, I think she can make a better picture.”
“Good drawing? I’m greedy because I say that too. What can I do?”
“Well, first, let me give you some advice on facial expressions.”
“Face acting? Ah! Was that part a bit awkward? If that’s the case, of course it’s good. Don’t be shy and talk to me. Looking at it, I’m sure my expression is a bit awkward.”
Fortunately, senior Yoona readily agreed.
Thanks to that, she decided to stop filming for a while and teach seniors how to act.
“Hello.”
“Hello!”
At that time, older sisters Joo-a and Min-young, who had promised to visit in advance, appeared.
“You’re welcome!”
I was reluctant because it was obvious that the camera would capture the scene teaching seniors how to act, and since women’s acting and men’s acting are completely different laws, it dawned on me that it would be a much better picture to entrust to an expert of the same gender.
My older sisters were puzzled when I overreacted.
“Why do you like it so much? Did you miss me that much?”
“No, that’s not the case, but it was the moment when the sisters were needed.”
“Because I knew it would be like this. What?”
“Tell me how to act.”
“Are we to you?”
“No. To senior Yoona.”
“Ah~ To senior?”
“Would you like to take a look at this first?”
I showed my noonas the music video shoot.
“I can see why you asked for facial expression acting.”
“But senior Yoona, you dance so well, right? I was surprised.”
“Ayu! Of course you should do this. How much time did Hae-sol spend teaching me?”
“You can become a real idol.”
“What kind of idol am I? Still, it makes me feel good to hear it. Haha!”
Senior Yoona Hong, who laughed heartily, was grabbed by Minyoung and Jooah in earnest and gave her advice.
I had already heard from me about the shooting concept in detail, so there was no problem with giving me advice.
“Yes, like that.”
“Ooh! It’s so awkward because it’s a face I’ve never made in my life. You want me to dance while dancing?”
“Yes. If you dance while dancing, it will be really pretty. You have to do it with confidence. That way it will suit the song.”
Because I knew the concept of this song, I practiced a little harder to see if senior Hong Yoon-ah was convinced.
It’s true that I’ve gotten a little better, but that doesn’t mean I’ve digested 100% of what my older sisters taught me.
I stealthily brought out her water to Senior Hong Yuna.
“Drink this.”
“Uh? Aren’t you singing today?”
“It’s hard to keep dancing. It’s good for your health, so you’d better eat it while eating it.”
“That’s right. Anyway, thank you for taking care of me every time. Would you guys like to take a sip too? This is really good for the neck. From my own experience, it was different when I drank regularly and when I didn’t drink.”
“If it’s that good for the body, I’ll give it to senior Yoona. You have to do the most important thing today.”
My sisters didn’t spare anything and provided me with water, so there was no reason to steal what I handed over to Yoona.
Unaware of this, senior Yoona gulped down her water with her eyes sparkling as if she was moved.
That water had a slightly special ability than usual.
Then she drank the water and was surprised to see if it worked right away, said senior Yoona.
“Oh, how are you today? Is that why your body is already warm?”
The one I was given to drink normally only had the effect of protecting the throat, but the one I gave you today has various buffs in it.
Perhaps your body will move more smoothly when dancing, and you will learn quickly when learning something.
After a short break, the lectures of the older sisters started again.
“Our country considers humility a virtue, but I hope that at this moment you will have a western mindset. They don’t hesitate to show off their abilities to people. Rather, I want you guys to know my abilities. That kind of mindset would suit this concept well.”
Joo-ah noona did not stop at simply teaching facial expression acting, but even demonstrated dancing and facial expression acting in person.
“No, how do you know how to dance?”
“I saw you dancing and tried to pick it up.”
“Yeah~ Being an idol trainee is definitely different. Different. Joo-ah, who dances after watching for a while, dances better than I who practiced until now.”
Senior Hong Yoona can’t stop exclaiming about her stretching.
“Why can’t I use these talents? It’s too wasteful.”
“That’s why you came to write today.”
Continuing lectures.
Yoona sunbae-nim’s expression acting started to improve quickly.
“You are doing well!”
“Do you feel it right away?”
“Oh, these guys also paint my face with gold.”
“No, you are getting better really, really fast.”
“Can’t we just take a picture of this?”
Senior Yoona, who received special training from her older sisters, stood in front of the camera again.
Standing in the center of her dancers, senior Yoona, she really exuded a force that would not be lacking even as an idol.
In fact, Yoona sunbae-nim had been getting her makeup and hair done at a shop that famous idols go to.
The music starts to resound in the studio again.
Yoona sunbae-nim’s dance, which perfectly digested what the older sisters took time to teach as attributes, was captured on the screen.
“Is it much better?”
The director in charge of the camera held out her thumb while filming, and the staff around her also exclaimed.
And the fact that her own skills have improved significantly is most likely felt by senior Yoona herself, who is dancing her.
“You did very well! Really good.”
Just because she was satisfied with it doesn’t mean she will finish the shoot in one cut.
She may have to change her clothes and place to continue dancing, but she also had to shoot from different angles.
Even though it must have been difficult to film several times, senior Yoona continued to dance by relying on the water I gave her.
Thanks to that, a good picture was taken, and soon after, I was able to film a scene where the older sisters appeared as cameos.
The two of them skillfully continued acting as if they were actors.
“Wow~ pretty. Pretty.”
“I’m not a popular actor for nothing.”
“Do you think you have a good personality?”
“There is a saying that it is between each other. Rumor has it that they both have good personalities.”
Watching the music video being filmed, I thought of editing in my head.
‘I didn’t know that my sisters’ visit to the set would be of such great help. I’m sure it’ll come out really well this way?’
The music video seemed to come out much better than I thought.
In fact, since Unol, which I appeared in, had already been aired, there was a bit of a burden on my shoulders.
I don’t know if the reaction is appropriate, but it’s because the reaction was much better than I thought.
People’s interest was very good in terms of ratings, but it was a part where I couldn’t help but feel pressure from my point of view that I had to produce a result.
If it’s a field I can do well, I’ll do it with confidence, but since I have to play an active part in a field I haven’t experienced, I can’t help but feel nervous.
‘I’m really glad that my sisters came. If it wasn’t for that, I’d be completely out of my mind.’
While Joo-ah noona and Min-young noona taught Yoona-sunbae, I was able to spend time adjusting the lighting with the camera director and discussing with the art team.
I did not hesitate to express my gratitude in an interview.
-What was the most difficult thing while filming?
“Since I was in the position where I was being filmed, I had no idea how much the production crew was paying attention to. But after doing it myself, it was not easy. I couldn’t concentrate on one thing. People asked me for my opinion from all sides, but since I was the one who made the decision, I had to pay attention to everything.”
-What were some of the things you missed during the music video shoot?
“I could have done better if I had told him to do it again now. That’s what I regret the most. Yoona sunbaenim did a really good job, but I feel like I didn’t do well.”
-She said that Yoona was reassuring?
“Not at all. At least she came to her senses when Mr. Joo and Mr. Min-young came to her. The two of them taught senior Yoona how to act, and from then on, I think I took the time to properly organize the scene.”
♧ ♧ ♧
Viewers who were watching the music video shooting exclaimed in admiration at the appearance of the two actresses.
“No, how can those two be so pretty?”
“These days, I like actresses. He is also very good at acting. But I didn’t know Jin Joo-ah was an idol trainee.”
There is a reason why the agency did not stop the two from going to help.
The appearance of the two people in Unol took a good eye stamp on many people.
Even if you are of the same sex, you feel good when you see a pretty person, but the two of them had such beautiful looks that it was hard to distinguish superiority and inferiority.
“Hong Yoon-ah dresses up like that, so it’s really pretty.”
What people were most surprised about in this Unol project was Hong Yuna’s transformation.
“I guess the person who teaches is really important. Who would have known Hong Yuna would do so well.”
Even the skills she briefly showed during recording are astonishing, and she was doing so well that even dancing was shocking.
She looked different as a person when she wore idol make-up, professionally done hair, and nice clothes.
“She wasn’t the ugly side of Hong Yuna from the beginning. Because of her image, she was losing money. She was below mediocre in dancing and singing, but isn’t it really surprising that she is so good at it?”
No matter how long I practiced, where did the entertainment program make me practice for 1-2 years?
She would have practiced for no more than two months at the most, but the change was too great.
