chapter 149
When I show up, he gets up quickly and greets me in a hurry.
Subsequently, the faces of the trainees bowing to the camera all became young.
were young friends.
As I said before, the eldest among the selected kids was 15 years old.
“Nice to meet you. You are the ones who were selected as WH’s final trainees after going through a lot of competition.”
I already told you that we were filming, so I can see heads nodding eagerly at my words without panicking.
It was obvious and obvious words behind the back.
Do your best as much as you have risen through the high competition rate.
If you don’t reach the set goal, you won’t be able to enter the final debut member, and so on.
These six people were close to being confirmed, but they did not tell the parties.
Because constant competition will make these children grow up faster.
After speaking, I left.
From now on, it’s Yuna’s turn to host as the MC.
What Yuna had to do was simple.
Capturing the characters of the trainees.
It was important to catch the characters in the beginning.
It’s hard to give fans a sense of immersion simply by working hard.
It was necessary to make fans interested and immersed in each trainee.
“Nice to meet you, juniors. I think everyone had an interview at our audition site. Is that right?”
“yes!”
“Then, let’s hear what it feels like to be finally selected as a trainee. Who would you prefer?”
The first to create that character were Han Na-young and Yu Seo-young, who took the audition as best friends and passed.
First of all, there is a story that two best friends passed the exam together.
In addition, as Lee Ji-young and Chaian evaluated, Han Na-young was the one who felt the most lacking among the current trainees.
If Han Na-young, who was left behind the most at first, showed a steady growth through endless efforts.
Could there be a more immersive story than that?
One last thing.
It was because it might be easier to create characters for those two than I thought.
like now.
“I heard that you two are really good friends. How did you pass?”
Hanna-young and Yoo Seo-young’s eyes widen at Yuna’s hook and drip.
It’s the first time I’ve experienced it in front of the camera, and I’m confused about how to react to the drip.
The cameraman doesn’t miss the scene and quickly captures it on the screen.
“Uh… I really did my best in the audition. I passed because you looked at me well.”
“oh?”
That was the reason why Seo-young Yoo and Na-young Han were not alone as the first hitter.
Yoo Seo-young had a good sense of entertainment.
“Is that so?”
“That’s why.”
In a way, it was an interview between two people who were close to a joke.
“Oh, is that good?”
It seemed that not only me, but also the reaction of the fans who met the trainees for the first time through the weekly WH would not be much different.
Perhaps the drip of Nayoung and Seoyoung will stick in your mind.
I was thinking of continuing to push that drip in the future.
First of all, being recognized in people’s brains had a very big merit.
You can get the attention of the fans right away.
“The reason why I was surprised during the interview. What about as soon as you see it? Is this friend supposed to be an idol? That’s what I was thinking.”
I evaluated her at the audition, but Yoo Seo-young was a talented person who could be picked even if she went to another large agency right away.
Perhaps, when viewers look at the six trainees who appeared on Weekly WH, the person who catches their eye at a glance is Yoo Seo-young.
“A lot of people will be curious. Can we see the things we prepared for the audition here?”
At Yuna’s request, the six trainees nodded.
[Only those who watched the first episode of Weekly WH released today. with spoilers]
– Do you remember when WH CEO Choi Woo-hyuk was in a frenzy when he said he was making an idol group?
This time, the final 6 trainees were revealed through Weekly WH.
First of all, all five people nodded.
In particular, Yoo Seo-young seemed like she would be okay if she joined the debut group right away, even though she was still young.
But there was one trainee I put a question mark on?
Hannah Young was introduced as Yoo Seoyoung’s best friend.
Just look at this friend This popped into my head.
Compared to the rest of my friends, I was too lacking.
└ ㅇㅇ Compared to the other friends, Hannah seemed lacking a lot. Have you been chosen as a friend buff?
└ Will it work? It’s not anywhere else, it’s WH. But I was also curious to see
└ Since he’s still young, wouldn’t he have seen the potential and picked him? CEO Choi Woo-hyuk, in particular, sees that well.
└ I think so too. I heard that Cheian, who went in as an audition interviewer, said something like this? The person who rated Han Na-young the most was CEO Woo-hyuk Choi.
As expected, after the weekly WH was broadcast, various communities became noisy.
In particular, the people who received the most attention were Yoo Seo-young and Hanna-young.
Yoo Seo-young is on the good side.
Hannah is in a very bad way.
So that’s what I called.
Hannah, who has a sullen face.
Since he was young, there was no way he hadn’t searched for articles about himself.
Han Na-yeong, who opened the door to the representative office and came in, was startled.
I wasn’t waiting alone, I was waiting with Yuna.
“Have you seen people’s reactions?”
“yes? Oh, no… no. I actually saw it. sorry.”
“What is there to be sorry about? Right now, even if it’s just Arin, he falls asleep at dawn because he’s watching people’s reactions. The same goes for Yuna here.”
Surprised by my words, Hannah’s gaze turns to Yuna.
“I’m curious, so I can’t help but look. Nayoung, did you do that too?”
“yes. Because the broadcast aired and people responded enthusiastically.”
And Hannah would have seen it.
For the other 5 people, there are plenty of compliments for exceeding expectations.
The fact that he was subjected to harsh criticism one after another.
The reason I called Hannah to this place was because of those reactions.
“Perhaps people’s reaction is cold right now. But that’s just Nayoung’s assessment of your current condition.”
“yes? Current?”
It may have been a bit difficult for young Hannah.
That’s why I called.
to Yuna.
“Even for Yuna here, she was compared a lot at first.”
“that’s right! oh god How many people said that Arin, a vocal monster, was terrible compared to her older sister. Ugh. It was hard just thinking about it, back then.”
Yuna trembled as if she remembered that time.
Certainly, being a natural born actor, I was very aware of how difficult it was visually.
“That’s right.”
Watching Han Na-young nod at Yuna’s words, I continued.
“The reason I chose you, Nayoung, wasn’t looking at your current condition. future. I was chosen because I saw potential in you in the future.”
“Possibility?”
“okay. The kind of potential I saw in Arin and Yuna here.”
Before I could finish my words, Yuna suddenly interrupted.
“Do you know what the chief said to me the first time he saw me?”
Isn’t it a story that everyone knows now?
“I want you to try acting. To me who saw it for the first time. But as time went on, I realized that the chief’s eyes were accurate.”
“ah.”
As if a con man is possessed by words, the longer Yuna speaks, the more hazy Han Nayoung’s expression becomes.
Even when I opened this door and entered, I was full of sulk at the negative evaluations of people.
“This is an absolute secret. Understand? Our chief said that Nayoung said you looked the most talented.”
“Really?”
“okay.”
As I nodded, the sunlight fell on Han Na-young’s face, which was covered with dark clouds.
“So, don’t worry about how people around you evaluate the present. Let’s try our best. Nayoung, you are proving to people that my eyes are not wrong. Understand?”
“yes!”
The effect was great.
That’s because the wilted buds are back to life.
< Episode 146 > End
< Episode 147 >
Han Na-young felt like she was dreaming.
At the request of his best friend Yoo Seo-young, he only applied for the WH trainee selection audition together.
But to think that he broke through so many applicants and was selected as one of the final six.
A few days ago, it was the day when the final results of the WH audition were announced.
“Nayoung! I’m done! I passed!”
“congratulations! Because I knew I would be you! Let’s go eat our celebratory tteokbokki!”
“I will shoot!”
I was running around hugging Yoo Seo-young, who received the acceptance letter.
– Whoops.
Hannah’s cell phone vibrated.
“uh? Seo Young-ah…”
And Han Na-young, who checked the screen, had no choice but to become ice.
I looked again to see if the message was sent by mistake.
obviously right
The same letter of acceptance as Yoo Seo-young, who just confirmed her acceptance, also came to Han Na-young.
“Kyaa! we’re together Nayoung!”
“uh? uh uh me too? Did I… pass?”
“okay! We live as trainees and even debut together!”
Of course, unlike Yoo Seo-young, who was in a frenzy of joy, Hanna-young did not realize it well.
What made Han Na-young really realize that she was selected as a trainee?
It was when I visited the WH building with Yoo Seo-young.
“Seo Young-ah. But can I do it well?”
The moment I put in front of the building I had checked many times.
Hannah was terrified.
“why? Don’t be scared. Na Young-ah I am with you.”
Even from Hannah’s point of view, Seoyoung Yoo was a natural idol.
Even though she is still in middle school, her appearance shines.
From dancing, singing, and a sense of entertainment, to talents that don’t fall out of any of them.
Compared to that, what about you?
It lacked a lot.
Although he used to practice by helping Seo-yeong Yoo, who dreamed of becoming an idol, practice together.
It was because I was clearly compared to Yoo Seo-young, who was right next to me.
When I informed the people around me that I was finally selected as a WH trainee along with Yoo Seo-young, the reaction that came back was like that too.
“When I saw it. CEO Choi Woo-hyuk said that Na-yeong saw something from you. Even during our audition, even though you fell down, the CEO just said it was okay and told you to relax.”
What gave Han Na-young strength was Yoo Seo-young, who was like a family member who was always with her.
“okay. I, Seoyoung, will try hard together with you!”
It was when the first episode of Weekly WH was released that Han Na-young, who had been so energetic, shrank.
Looking at Hannah, who was depressed, her best friend Seoyoung Yoo stamped her feet.
CEO Choi Woo-hyuk called Han Na-young to the representative office and encouraged him that he was the trainee he was most looking forward to.
However, unlike that, the difference felt by the other five trainees led Han Na-young to the practice room.
“uh? Nayoung!”
The one who caught Han Na-young as she was heading to the practice room to make up for the lack of practice was Yuna of Yu & Na, a senior at the company.
“hello.”
“You’re going to practice!”
“yes.”
Yuna, who was looking at Hannah, who was depressed, with narrowed eyes, shouted out loud.
“Eight! I shouldn’t have told you this already. Today, let’s hang out with me and go eat something delicious.”
“yes?”
“You’re not going to class right now. Aren’t you going to practice by yourself?”
“that’s right. I feel like I’m lacking a bit, so I’m going to practice more…”
Before Hannah finished speaking, Yuna’s hand grabbed Hannah’s hand.
“Then let’s go. This sister will buy you something delicious. When I was your age, I chewed on stones and did that. So, let’s eat well and go strong!”
The place where Han Na-young and Yuna arrived, who were kidnapped rather than kidnapped, was a high-end restaurant.
Hannah has never been to such a high-end restaurant.
“This and this are delicious. Is there anything you would like to eat?”
“Oh, no. All good.”
To Han Na-young, Yuna was a very strange and great senior.
A tremendous background as the youngest daughter of a chaebol family.
From her highly praised acting skills to her singing skills that everyone is beginning to acknowledge.
If there is a fraudulent character in comics, wouldn’t it be Yuna right in front of you?
As much as I can think of that.
“Seniors.”
“When there are two of you, call me sister. When I say seniors, I feel a sense of distance. Of course, I have to say senior in front of the camera, right?”
“yes. sister.”
Yuna, who called the staff and ordered food, looked at Han Na-young.
“ruler. Shall we discuss our concerns until the food arrives?”
“Worry counseling?”
“huh. Nayoung, now depressed, looks just like me right after debut.”
Yuna’s words were enough to startle Hannah.
Yuna, who seemed to have lived without any shortcomings, just said that she had a lot of worries like Han Na-young.
“You know I debuted as U & Na, right? You guys also saw it yesterday, but Arin is with her unnie.”
“yes.”
“At that time, after debuting, everyone said that. Why the hell did Arin unnie debut as a vocal duo with Yuna, who is no different from a face madam? Doing it alone seems to be enough.”
“ah···”
I didn’t know.
I never thought that Yuna, who seemed to have everything in the world, would have such worries.
Since she was always known for her positive and bright characters, she was Han Na-young, who I thought Yuna would have overlooked the reactions of those people.
“So Nayoung, who was going to the practice room today, just like you, I put in a lot of effort, right? And yet, it grew more and more. The gap between Arin and her sister.”
Since Yunna’s debut, Yuna has been known to people for her incredible beauty.
And at some point, Arin started to stand side by side with the seniors.
Since we debuted as a vocal duo, I couldn’t even imagine the stress from those evaluations.
Perhaps, as a trainee, Hannah’s troubles might be aegyo.
Looking at Hannah like that, Yuna threw a question.
“So what did I do?”
“hmm. I guess I was constantly trying. Now, people are starting to recognize unnie’s vocals as well.”
“answer! That’s right. But the boss doesn’t know how much effort I put in until that evaluation came out, right?”
“That’s right.”
“If you find your life as a trainee too difficult later on, sneakily ask teacher Jiyoung. How many times Yuna of Yuanna cried while undergoing vocal training.”
Perhaps it was something embarrassing to say to Han Na-young, as soon as Yuna finished speaking, she turned her head away and avoided her gaze.
“That’s what the boss said. Nayoung saw talent in you. Then believe in that evaluation and die trying.”
Yuna’s continued words were deeply engraved in Hannah’s heart.
“Me too, and all the members of our WH family believed in the boss and worked hard to get the current results. That boss rated you the most among the trainees Nayoung. Understand?”
“yes!”
The delicious meal Yuna prepared for Hannah didn’t end there.
If you have any difficulties or concerns, you can contact me at any time, and I even gave you my personal contact information.
Because of Yoo Seo-young, who dreamed of becoming an idol, it was Han Na-young who knew about trainee life.
That’s why I couldn’t help but clenched my fist at these warm appearances.
