Idols Around the World 899

Chapter 899 – #97. Lanna (59)

But calling a fan to a different seat is also nonsensical.

“As soon as I call the fans at that concert, the purpose of all the performances I’ve prepared disappears.”

No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like a good idea to change the venue.
It was also not good that the venue was already rented out, so canceling it in the middle would result in an extra charge.

“You mean it’s a pity that so few people get to see this performance, right?”
“Huh.”
“But that’s what a concert is like in the first place.”

It was only natural that if you couldn’t win tickets, you wouldn’t be able to see the performance.
It makes no sense to worry about such people and increase the number of seats.

“Wouldn’t it be okay if we alleviate our regrets when we hold a concert as a full group later?”

At Ki Woo-yeon’s words, all the members nodded in agreement.
After confirming the reason why the members are disappointed.

“Then how about this method?”
“Method?”
“It’s an online broadcast. Get a reasonable price, and donate all the ticket money.”
“Oh. Haven’t we done this before?”
“What you guys regret is that the fans can’t see my performance, and if you broadcast online, that problem will disappear.”
“Good good.”

If you broadcast online, you don’t have to have a hard time refusing to ask for a seat from people.
Since it is relayed on the Internet, you can just ask them to watch it.

“But if you do this, an unspecified number of people will be watching your performance, so you have to prepare hard, right?”
“Um…Or releasing a concert blu-ray?”
“Oh! You like this too?”
“Since it was said to be a concert for families, an online broadcast that is so accessible can cause a stir.
“Yes.”

Even if I think about it, I liked Juni’s opinion the most.

“Blu-ray is not bad. Thanks for the good comments.”
“Then…Now, what’s left is to prepare for the performance?”
“Yes. Just like always.”

All idols had to do to have a concert was to sweat in the practice room.
And this has been my life that has not changed since becoming an idol.

“Jin Haesol’s private concert? Do you do something like that?”
“Somehow, he suddenly asked me about idols. Is this why you asked me then?”
“Yes. Is anyone interested?”

My friends actively glared at me, saying that it was strange that I wasn’t interested.

“But I searched on the internet, but nothing comes up?”
“Really?”
“Isn’t it like being scammed or something like that? Don’t you usually promote your concerts very hard?”
“Ah~ I’m not at the level to advertise that Airplane is going to have a concert. It’s a mess because I can’t find a seat.”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to go to the fancafe?”

Friends actively moved on the interesting subject of Jin Hae-sol’s personal concert.

“There’s no such word at all in the fancafe, right?”
“What happened?”
“They said that this was a donation performance, so you couldn’t buy a ticket and go there.”

Her husband decided to hide the fact that this concert was for his family.
He saw that if he said such a thing for no reason and it was misrepresented and spread, bad eyes could go to his family.

“A donation performance?”
“Huh.”

And this choice seems to be the right thing to do.
It was able to give people a positive image by saying that it was a donation performance rather than saying that it was a performance for the family.

“That’s great~ If it’s a donation performance, all the profits will be donated. Is that something like that?”
“No, they decided to invite underprivileged children to hold a concert and make a separate donation.”
“Oh…How did your husband get tickets for a show like that?”
“I don’t know the details, but I guess how you got it through the person in charge.”
“How lucky he was in his previous life. A husband who brings you tickets for Jin Hae-sol’s private concert that no one else can go to…”
“I have a true airplane fan among my friends, and if they heard it, they would have gone wild with envy? Asking me to take them with me too. I can’t tell you at all.”

After hearing her friend’s words, Ran reminded her of something she hadn’t said before, and she said hastily.

“Ah, we have to keep this a secret. We decided not to promote it to the media and proceed quietly. They said that they invite underprivileged children to hold concerts and donate money. Until then, it’s an embargo.”
“What’s wrong?”
“You’re doing a good job, why do you need to hide it?”
“There are good people who are fans, but there are also bad people.”

If the media intervenes in something done for a good cause, it can create a fuss.
Saying that you are going to do a report, break into the concert hall without permission, take a picture of the audience, and post a picture.

“You’re at an age where you’re just going through puberty and being sensitive. That’s why we’re trying to protect it as much as possible.”
“Very thoughtful.”
“Originally, good-looking and pretty people have a good heart.”
“The concert is also a business at own expense. So I’ll be sure to ask you.”
“Okay. It’s a good thing, but you can’t be bothered because of me.”
“Put a lock on your mouth.”
“But I don’t know if I can just wipe my mouth after receiving a present like this. They say they’ll even arrange lodging for you…”

When her husband went on a trip, she agreed to take care of the most expensive part of the expense.
Things like airfare and lodging costs.
Thanks to that, even friends who couldn’t afford it could easily find time to go see the concert.
If the personal expenses were high, they would not have been able to enjoy the trip comfortably.

“It’s okay. My mom often sent me on trips and did that.”
“Hiya~ Thanks to my friends, I can do all these good things.”
“Thank you!”
“I’m really looking forward to it. A concert is a concert, but isn’t it our first overseas trip?”
“A concert is also a concert. How important is Jin Hae-sol’s concert! What should I prepare for first? I’m worried because I’ve never been to an idol concert.”

I watched how hard her husband was working to prepare for this concert, so seeing her friends liking her made me smile.
Everyone was full of excitement because it was not the end of simply attending the concert, but also traveling abroad.
Friends eagerly searched the Internet and spent time discussing where to visit and where to come.

“Wow, the kids grow up really fast.”
“Yeah. It seems like yesterday when they were piled up in swaddling clothes, but they’ve already grown so chubby.”
“How can babies be so pretty? They say it’s so amazing?

Of course, without forgetting to brag about your children to your friends.
The interest of the friends in the triplets growing up day by day was amazing.

“I don’t know when I’ll get married and give birth to such beautiful sons and daughters.”

As my friends are getting older, their interest in marriage has increased dramatically.

“The man is skinny. Where can I get married when I don’t have a daughter with a star?”
“I’m thinking of doing that one day.”
“That?”
“That’s what the state does.”
“Really?”
“If you succeed as a test tube, the state provides a lot of support. It also raises the falling birth rate, and I think it’s wrong to meet a man anyway, so I wonder if it’s right for me to have my own baby.”

The state passed a law requiring men to donate their sperm.
And at the same time, he actively recommended in vitro fertilization to women.
It was to somehow increase the birth rate, which was falling to the worst of the worst.
Even women who thought negatively became positive about undergoing in vitro procedures as they got older.
It’s because you feel a sense of crisis that if time passes in vain like this, there will be no family left by your side.

“You’re old enough to worry about that.”
“You’ve become a mother of 5 children. We should be worried about that too.”
“If you get a little older here, the doctor said you should be careful because you are old.”
“Can I raise a child well by myself?”
“How much money do you have saved up? You have to think realistically about raising a child.”
“If you calculate so realistically, you’ll never make up your mind.”
“That’s right. Money is only an excuse. If you don’t want to regret it later, it’s right to act when you make up your mind.”

Some friends recommended undergoing in vitro procedures, while others did not recommend it due to practical problems.

“I’m most curious about your opinion, as an experienced person. You’re the one who can best explain having a baby and starting a family.”

A friend of hers, who was listening to her other friends’ opinions, asked her for her opinion one last time.

“Since I have a husband, it’s a bit different from your situation. I don’t know if it’s okay to give you some advice.”
“I’ll take care of that.”
“Hmm…”

In fact, this question is not something that can be answered quickly.
Everyone’s situation is different, isn’t the environment different?
But…

“You guys know it, right? Originally, I was a person who viewed marriage negatively. I thought it wouldn’t be bad to have a baby after having an in vitro procedure.”
“Right. Of us, you were the most positive about in vitro procedures.”
“I met my husband and suddenly started a family and started living well, but I haven’t changed my mind then or now. What I recommend most is to meet a good man, get married and start a family.”

But in reality, men hold on to women who are greater than them and do not let them go.

“But realistically, that’s impossible, so if you want to have a baby through an in vitro procedure and start a family, I’m on the positive side. But before that, I think I need to find out if there’s really someone next to me who will be with me for the rest of my life.”
“Have you never regretted having a baby?”
“Yes. The happiest and proudest thing in my life is having children. There were difficult times, but I think that I was able to endure and be happy because the children were by my side.”

If I hadn’t had children, I wouldn’t be as happy as I am.

“So I agree with the in vitro procedure.”
“Yeah. But before making that choice, take a good look at your surroundings. So you don’t regret it later.”

How would you feel if you met a nice person later?
It was something I could regret making a hasty choice in the past.
And that would be terrifying for the child.

“If you make that choice, you should never regret it. You have to know how much it will hurt the child.”

You should never act like people who irresponsibly adopt a pet and then dispose of it.

“Are you aware of what a terrible sin and mistake it is?”

At the words of her friend Lanna, her complexion turned pale.
Bringing a pet is also something to be careful about, but this was about giving birth to a baby yourself.
Since it is a choice that will determine a person’s life, you must be prepared to carry that heavy weight.

“Hey! I’m not that trash. I’ve been really worried. For almost a year. It wasn’t easy to tell you guys about your worries, right?”
“Then think about it for another year. And if you decide to undergo the procedure, I will help you with the rest as much as possible.”

If a friend made a responsible choice, she was confident to support him.
Isn’t it a path he has already walked many times?
She had no reason to spare her advice.

“No matter what you choose, I will always be by your side, as long as you are prepared to take responsibility.”
“It’s scary enough to make you go crazy, and then suddenly it makes people’s hearts melt.”
“I’m sure he said he’d try to live well, but of course I should help him. Did you think I wouldn’t help you?”
“Seeing…Thank you.”

The rest of the friends seemed to be confused by the conversation between Lanna and her friend.
