Idols Around the World 904

Chapter 904 – #97. Lanna (64)

“Does that mean that becoming an idol has become a dream?”

She pulled out a numbered ticket according to the planned procedure, and did not expect to hear such serious words until the winning girl came up.
Of course, it could have been made up as a lie to buy my attention.
I read the sincerity in the voice of the girl who said she wanted to become an idol after seeing my performance.
When a person tells a lie, it is inevitable that it will be obvious, but the girl felt a sense of excitement and trembling at the same time, not anxiety.

“Yes. I didn’t think having a dream would be such an exciting thing. But seeing her on stage today, she really wanted to do it.”
“Thank you so much. Someone sees me and says I have a dream… It makes me think that I have to work harder and live rightly than now.”
“It’s not that grandiose. I have a dream, but I don’t think I can become a great idol like Haesol oppa. I don’t have talent and I’m not pretty. .”
“It’s a good decision. And it’s pretty enough. I hope you have confidence.”
“Hehe…Thank you. Anyway, what I want to say is, I hope you cheer me on. That’s my wish. I think I’ll gain more strength if oppa supports me.”

I don’t want anything else, I just want support.
She heard that, but she couldn’t stay still.

“Um… I will cheer for Hyojung to achieve her dream. And I hope that process will be a good experience that will make you a better person.”
“Thank you! I’ll try my best.”

At the girl’s age, it was not too late to try anything.
I don’t know how talented you are…

“I wish I could say hello on stage when I become a junior later.”
“Wow..! Just imagining it makes me shed tears.”

Wow!!!
Clap clap clap clap

Most of the audience gathered here are people with vague fears about the future.
They were people who could sincerely applaud and sympathize with the girl as she started to dream of her new dream.
I didn’t know that calling me junior was something that would impress a girl.
Lastly, they patted the girl on the back, cheered her up, and sent her off the stage.
I rested moderately, and she said that the girl saw my stage and dreamed of her, so she thought that she should work harder to show her stage.
The atmosphere was already saturated.
Now that the excitement was high enough, it was time to fill the stage with a full-fledged performance.
I did my best to prepare, and it was time to start the stage that the choreographer had been emphasizing that it would become a legend.
At first, the choreographer was excited and kept raising the level of difficulty, but at some point, he said, ‘If I increase the level of difficulty higher than now, it will become a circus.’ Said.
I had the same opinion as the choreographer.
In fact, the current choreography is somewhat similar to that of a circus.
Before the stage, I was filled with thoughts of wanting to show it to the audience rather than worrying about failure.
How will people who see my stage react?
I was already looking forward to it.

“I heard you went to Jinhaesol’s concert. How was it?”

Shin Hyo-jung, a girl who didn’t bother to hide the fact that she came from an orphanage from her friends, received the attention of her friends the day she went to school.
She may not be able to completely eradicate bullying at school, but at least she’s from daycare, so the bullying is a lot less likely.
It was also because most of the children were from single parent families.
Her friends were very envious of Shin Hyo-jeong, who must have seen her airplane Jinhae Sol in real life.

“I want to become an idol.”
“??”
“Is this far away?”
“The impression that I went to Jin Hae-sol’s concert is that I want to become an idol? What does this have to do with it?”
“Doesn’t that mean that Jin Hae-sol’s concert was so full of kicks?”
“That’s right, I’m completely in love.”
“Ohhhhh!!!”
“A picture? Did you take a video?”
“Is the real thing so crazy like rumors? I heard that the camera can’t catch all the beauty, but is it true?”

Shin Hyo-jeong spoke once, and her friends poured out questions several times.
And it wasn’t just her friends who took notice of her words.
Her classmates could also be seen subtly perking their ears.

“A camera can’t capture beauty.”
“Wowaaaaa!!!”
“Awesome!!!”
“But looks aren’t important. No, of course looks are important, but throughout the concert, rather than looks, my singing and dancing skills were crazy.”
“Airplanes are famous for their good skills.”
“But!! The fame was more than I heard? I’m going to save up my pocket money and buy a Blu-ray.”
“Blu-ray? Blu-ray?”
“Huh.”

I still vividly remember the time when I was at the concert hall.
Her mind wandered, and she began to think about how to present to her friends the great performance she had seen.

“How can I say it… It felt like the big stage was filled with one person? Anyway, it was the happiest moment of my life. Oh! And the other members of Airplane also came and did a stage? I took a picture of it, so would you like to see it?”
“I want to see you, I want to see you!!”
“Wow… Even though the picture is blurry, the handsomeness comes through?”

Her friends frantically indulge in the photos in the album.
Shin Hyo-jung looked at those friends with pity.
Because she couldn’t see the performance, her friends lost half their lives.

“I’ll show you when I buy the Blu-ray. If you don’t watch this, you’ve lost half your life.”
“I want to buy Blu-ray too!”

A friend who is an Airplane fan has joined the group of ambitious Blu-ray buyers.

“Tell me a little more. What song did you sing at the concert?”
“Actually, there were some taken at the beginning, but from the middle I couldn’t properly record the video because I was concentrating on the concert. It seemed like a big loss if I couldn’t enjoy the moment just because I was filming a video.”

I think I was screaming like crazy.
Thanks to that, even now, her throat is slightly rested.
I couldn’t contain my excitement.
Jin Hae-sol is a genius.
Due to the nature of idols who have to dance and sing at the same time, it is common to adjust the singing section by creating various effects and inserting some parts into mr beforehand.
However, Jin Hae-sol did something absurd without hesitation.

‘I really wrote ‘mr’ and sang the song live with that choreography. The choreography was great too. He played with the beat and moved twice as fast as everyone else.’

There were only 300 seats, so the stage and the seats were very close.
Jin Hae-sol said that she could hear each and every breath of her through her ears, not through her microphone.
His stage honestly… Felt like it wasn’t at a level that people could do.

‘People will be shocked when the concert Blu-ray comes out.’

Shin Hyo-jung was able to know by watching his concert.
That Jin Hae-sol was not able to fully demonstrate his abilities within the group called Airplane.
Jin Hae-sol has yet to receive a proper evaluation.

‘Can I follow you?’

I fear that targeting someone who is sure to become even greater in the future is a wild dream.
However, she couldn’t give up because she heard him say that she would wait for the day when they would reunite as her juniors.

‘Let’s start right from today.’

The fortunate thing is that the first dance in my life, which I secretly practiced in the bathroom after returning to the nursery school, was not as bad as I thought.

‘Maybe he has a talent for dancing.’

He made a great debut and succeeded, appeared in front of Jin Hae-sol and called him ‘Senior’.
A blush appeared on the girl’s cheeks as she let her imagination run wild.
I don’t know how many years I will have to spend to realize my dream, but I feel like I can sacrifice as much as I want for the dream I want.

‘Couldn’t you be a senior or a junior and become yourself…?’

They say celebrities date and break up like that.
Can’t you shoot me!

‘Keeheuhpp!’

Just imagining it makes my whole body twist.
As I talked about the concert with my friends, the overwhelming emotions of that time seemed to come back again.

“Can I go see another performance next time? If I get a chance, I really want to go…”

The high ticket prices were absolutely beyond the reach of the girl.
Furthermore, she said that she would dream of becoming an idol, but it was not like she could go to an academy and learn dancing right away.
All the girl could do was learn to dance by herself while watching videos, and the only way to do it was to attend an audition for her company after learning moderately.

“But are you really going to be an idol? As far as I know, you’ve never danced before.”
“Do you think I can become an idol?”
“…Well. I have no idea if you’re a good dancer.”
“Isn’t the song still bad?”

Her friends comfort her as if she remembered the time they went to karaoke together.

“To be honest, I don’t think I’ll become an idol either. How can I become an idol when I can’t go anywhere and pay money to learn, and I don’t even have money to fix my face with plastic surgery?”

To become an idol, you really have to work hard.
It’s not that you can become a star simply by having good skills.
It was not uncommon for pretty and cool unnies to come out without enduring their trainee days.
Compared to those older sisters, she had an ugly face, couldn’t dance, and didn’t sing particularly well.

“I’m just taking on the challenge because I have a dream. I think the process will be fun for me.”

At least, it seemed that it would be much more beneficial to spend time fulfilling my dreams rather than sleeping or chatting with friends as I do now.
If you don’t dream of becoming an idol, aren’t you smart enough to study at that time and go to university?

“Is there anything we can do to help?”
“How about joining a dance club?
“Hey, it’s not a discipline game there. They say they teach while being beaten.”
“Huh! Really? The unnies there are so cool, I didn’t know they were disciplined.”
“My friend went in there and barely escaped with the help of her mother.”

Friends offer to help, but tell creepy stories.
Shin Hyo-jung said that she would only accept her friends’ hearts, so she started to search the Internet to find out how to join her trainee.
Then, she couldn’t find a satisfactory result, so she even posted to the Internet intellectuals herself.

[She doesn’t know how to sing or dance, can she become a trainee?]
-Hello. I am a 16-year-old girl who dreams of becoming an idol!
She never learned to sing or dance, because she heard that when she becomes a trainee, she is taught by her agency.
Can I be a trainee?
Also, I want to know which agency teaches me well and doesn’t make unfair contracts and does it well!

The girl waited excitedly to see what kind of answer would come.
Unfortunately, the girl’s expectations were blocked by the wall of reality, and the questions were perfect for being trampled on.
