I knew that singing is music that touches the heart.
But no matter how many breakup songs I listened to, it just hurt.
Until I heard the song being played on that stage right now.
It still hurts, but I didn’t cry.
I thought that if I endured it a little longer by myself and erased it, I would be able to forget everything.
The embankment of emotions he had been holding down had burst.
The sadness that had been built up one by one burst out the moment I heard Yuanna’s song.
It didn’t end there.
The moment U & Na’s second title song ＜Forgetting＞ finished the stage.
“Let’s go buy U & Na’s album after we finish.”
It was Kim Soo-yeon who felt like she was being comforted by her bursting sadness.
Like Yuanna’s song ＜Forgetting＞, I felt that I would be able to forget this pain as well.
“really? okay. There is a large bookstore nearby, so let’s stop by there.”
After the stage is over, Yuanna leaves, stepping back and saying thank you.
And the moment I saw the two members exchanging eyes full of trust before disappearing at the end.
Kim Soo-yeon was able to recall that she had a precious friend by her side, just like those two.
“thank you. And I’ll even buy you a drink today.”
Kim Soo-yeon made up her mind.
I decided to become a fan of Uanna from today.

After the release of Yuanna’s 1st regular album ＜beginning＞.
Recruitment requests for Arin and Yuna were constantly coming in.
Those who have already appeared in variety shows such as ＜Rural Camping＞ and ＜I am a Manager＞ have created huge viewership ratings.
That’s why, at the same time as the kids’ comeback, my personal phone calls and the pouring in of requests to the company were, in a way, a natural order.
“The sound source ranking is also smooth.”
“that’s right. It’s not like there’s a lot of buzz on the internet right now that our album is good.”
“that’s right! Yesterday, it even rose on the real-time search rankings!”
It seems that the kids can’t take their eyes off the music charts that are steadily rising.
Arin checked frequently and couldn’t erase his wide smile.
Seeing things like that worries me.
What should I do?
Appearing on a variety show to promote a new album to viewers is not a bad choice.
but.
“For this activity, I think it’s better to only appear on music-related broadcasts rather than variety shows. What do you guys think?”
“hmm. I like it. What about Yuna?”
okay.
The biggest reason that made me think this way was Yuna.
“Of course I like it too! I thought it was a time when I needed to change my image as a singer.”
People’s evaluation of Yuna is like this now.
A beautiful actress who appeared as Shin Ji-soo in the movie ＜The Detective＞ and made people burst into admiration.
But you said you were a singer, not an actress?
Rather than being a singer, when I looked for it, wasn’t it an entertainer who popped up on variety shows?
These evaluations were following Yuna.
Not bad.
Rather, it meant that people were looking for Yuna with curiosity.
But Yuna is a singer.
It was necessary to change the image of Yuna in variety shows that makes people burst into laughter.
As much as the songs on this album are really good.
I don’t think there is any better opportunity than this one.
That’s why it’s good to appear on variety shows and raise awareness, but it was necessary to show a different side of Yuna.
It is to show people Yuna as a singer.
To be precise, it is to make Yuna of Yuanna receive recognition from people as a singer.
Arin is fine.
Because there were stages that were praised as legends shown in ＜King of Mask Singer＞.
The problem was not Arin alone, but Yuanna with Yuna.
Aren’t their songs bad?
Isn’t Arin the one tool for live anyway?
Yuna is just a visual member brought in to make Yuna popular.
Because these reactions were coming up frequently.
No one will know how much Yuna worked hard behind the scenes, except for those who watched from the sidelines.
The day after I received a call from Park Ki-bum that the last song was completed.
On Christmas day, I went to Yuna’s house with the intention of telling the kids that it was a surprise gift.
But I was the one who really surprised me.
“Chief. Before we put candles on the cake, I have a present for you.”
As if she had already woken up early in the morning and prepared, even the tree was completed at Yuna’s house.
I thought there would be a box because it’s a gift.
He took me somewhere with Arin.
The place where Yuna stopped was in front of the door.
A room equipped with soundproof booths and music equipment just like Arin’s dorm.
“Voila!”
The moment Yuna opened the door and showed what was inside.
I could tell
“You guys… you really worked hard.”
that it is.
Clearly, there are many traces of use despite the fact that it has not been long since we moved into this accommodation.
The two of us practiced, and the leftover bread bag and empty drink cans seemed to be hungry.
Even the empty water bottles I drank because my throat got dry when I sang.
Traces were telling how much time the kids had spent here.
“CEO. We practiced a lot. In particular, Yuna really gritted her teeth and practiced.”
Recording a song is not the end.
Rather, more important things than recording were waiting for me.
After making a comeback with new songs, you have to participate in full-fledged music broadcasts and singing various external activities.
While singing your own songs there, you show an immature side?
It was clear that this would lead to the disappointment of fans who had high expectations for Yuanna.
As they are not idols but aim for a vocal duo, they had to show more than a professional side when it comes to singing their own songs.
That is why Yuna and Arin have put in such tremendous effort.
“Even after the recording schedule in the studio is over, I come home and do it every day until my throat is not strained.”
I turned my head for a moment, ahem. I see Yuna expressing her pride.
Its appearance is also quite peculiar.
“Especially Yuna went to the hospital and practiced while taking care of her neck.”
“okay?”
“Of course, chief! A regular album is coming out now. You have to show your best side.”
I was moved by Yuna’s words that she went to the hospital and practiced in case it would put too much strain on her neck.
Yuna’s Christmas party I talked about yesterday didn’t really mean to eat and play.
How much Arin and Yuna practiced for Yuanna’s first full-length album.
And it was just an excuse to show how advanced his skills had become.
From noble mtl dot com
“Chief. listen there If you listen to it live, there may be some parts that you are sorry for.”
“that’s right. Because the representative knows that part amazingly well.”
Yuna and Arin prepare, saying that if you tell them what you regret, they will practice more and fix it.
Yuna, who brought me a chair and sat me down, held a mini comeback showcase with Arin.
This is Yuna, who worked hard and gnashed her teeth to that extent.
However, people’s ratings are still low.
“I’m going to choose ＜11 O’Clock Emotional Note＞ from among the casting requests that came in from you. What do you guys think?”
“really? Did we get a request to appear there?”
“okay.”
＜Emotional note at 11:00＞
It was a program in which former singer Kim Chang-han, a veteran host, gave a light talk and performed only the live stage of the invited singer.
In addition, since it was only conducted live without AR, it was difficult to get people’s reactions unless you had decent skills.
Of course, it was also a program that many singers who were confident in their live performances were aiming to appear on.
*
“Uanna? Who is that?”
Kim Chang-han, the host of ＜11:00 Emotional Note＞, was contacted by the PD about the next singer to appear.
“The ones who recently made a comeback? I am hearing it for the first time.”
Kim Chang-han, who once again asked the name he had heard for the first time, nodded at the explanation that followed.
“ah. A group with a friend named Arin who made a fuss on the King of Mask Singer?”
After hanging up the phone, Kim Chang-han asked the manager to receive materials about Yuanna.
You have to know about the singers in advance so that you can have a natural conversation during the recording.
Above all, the talk between Kim Chang-han and the performers in the middle of the song was a popular factor in the program.
For that talk, a preliminary investigation on the performers was essential, as it is now.
Kim Chang-han’s efforts were the secret to the popularity of ＜11:00 Emotional Note＞ despite being a music broadcast at 11:00 late at night.
Of course, the biggest secret to their popularity was that only confident and talented singers appeared in live performances.
Occasionally, there were times when idols appeared and their live skills were exposed and they were humiliated.
Admiration bursts from Kim Chang-han’s mouth as he looks at the materials brought by the manager.
“Yeah. These guys are fun guys.”
Rice cake bomb, some kind of killer, chicken evangelism dance, etc.
They were friends who had an infinite number of materials to draw out with very talk.
“see. What questions should I ask?”
There were so many.
Questions that will elicit laughter from people.
“How are these guys doing? Not a friend named Arin, but another member, Yuna.”
Kim Chang-han briefly watched Yuanna’s stage videos.
Kim Chang-han’s honest assessment was that the last ＜Sad Promise＞ was a bit full of regret compared to Arin.
Kim Chang-han thought.
What if a member named Yuna had grown enough to harmonize?
“These guys, get a video of this stage.”
Coincidentally, the manager even brought a video of the recent stage.
After a while.
“Isn’t this one of our shows’ ratings skyrocketing?”
Kim Chang-han, who watched the entire video, left a message.
Episode 59
＜Emotional note at 11:00＞
When host Kim Chang-han appeared on stage, the audience greeted him with enthusiastic applause.
“Nice to meet you. nice to meet you. I am Kim Chang-han of 11:00 Emotional Note.”
The expectant eyes of the audience are directed toward Kim Chang-han’s mouth.
The reason was simple.
Because no one knows who today’s guest is yet.
As now, it was another fun of the 11 o’clock emotional note for the audience to guess who the guest of the day would be.
“Everyone is wondering who today’s guest is?”
Yes to Kim Chang-han’s question! The answer comes back loudly.
Seeing that, Kim Chang-han smiles mischievously.
“Today’s guest is…”
Did he feel that people’s eyes were only focused on his mouth?
“as soon as! If you know them, they will surprise you.”
At the words of Kim Chang-han, who is taking a break at a tempo, a pitiful sigh breaks out.
It was Kim Chang-han who knew better than anyone else that if he dragged on further, he would be booed.
I needed to throw a hint.
“You know the scene in the recently released movie ＜The Detective＞ that made everyone forget how to breathe, right?”
– no way?
– really?
– Is it really Yu & me?
The audience is agitated by Kim Chang-han’s hint.
Who hasn’t seen ＜The Detective＞, which has already surpassed 10 million viewers?
Shin Ji-soo’s appearance scene was now so famous that even people who hadn’t seen the movie would not know about it.
Besides, if you’re here to the extent of coming to the auditorium, that means you’re a person who’s interested in this kind of thing.
“you’re right! I am introducing. This is U & Na, who returned with our 1st regular album ＜beginning＞!”
Simultaneously with Kim Chang-han’s cry, Yoo & Na’s Arin and Yuna appeared on the stage.
The reaction is hot.
It was all the more so because among the singers who appeared on ＜11:00 Emotional Note＞ for the past month, there was no singer with as much recognition as Yuna, who mobilized 10 million viewers.
There were many popular singers who waved their hands because they felt pressured by the all-live stage.
