2 years.
It was the period Derek told me before he left.
“See you in two years.”
Derek left, leaving a note saying that if he ever visits the US before then, he would be sure to contact me.
“It was a really busy day.”
“I know. Good job.”
While I took care of things, Arin only spent time with Derek taking lessons.
“Would you like to rest a bit?”
From noble mtl dot com
After going to the busking performance with me, I immediately ran again to record Derek’s song ＜The last piece＞.
Since Arin hasn’t been able to properly rest since coming back from overseas, I suggested taking a break.
“no. Before going to a busking performance with the CEO, I might have wanted to take a break. Singing was beginning to feel difficult.”
But not anymore. Arin’s words continued.
It has definitely changed.
The facial expressions, gestures, and even the emotions contained in the voice while singing.
Arin felt that Derek had grown to the point where he was excited.
“Right CEO. You know that this evening is the first broadcast of ＜Busking＞, right?”
“know. Yuna was very sorry that she couldn’t come because of today’s filming.”
“I heard it too. He said he was sorry because the time didn’t match earlier and left. I’m really fine.”
Arin’s face, saying that, shows a different feeling stronger than regret.
rather good? I feel like this.
oh, that must be an illusion
anyway.
The first broadcasts the kids appeared in in Yuna’s TV room were always together.
Today, due to the filming schedule, Yuna has no choice but to be absent.
Arin, who turned her head to the other side invisibly, asked me.
“CEO. Then, how about seeing the two of you?”
“two people?”
“why? Weird?”
No way.
I was about to tell Arin first.
We always did the first broadcast together. Even if Yuna isn’t there, let’s watch it together.
“It’s good. Shall we simply prepare something to eat as usual?”
“How about with a can of beer?”
“Canned beer is a good idea. Shall we watch today’s first broadcast together with Arin?”
“great.”
At my words, it was Arin who turned his head this way and showed a happy smile.
good night.
After the busking performance, I could definitely feel a change in Arin.
It was late in the evening when all the staff had gone off work.
The time for the first broadcast of ＜Busking＞, which Arin went overseas to film, came around.
“Voila. There is no Yuna, but I prepared chicken and pizza.”
“Are you okay? One chicken is the size of a small pizza. It’s the perfect amount to eat while watching today’s broadcast.”
“Right? And even the cold beer I put in the fridge earlier!”
Arin appeared with a smile on his face and a can of beer in each hand.
It wasn’t just me and Arin who were looking forward to the first broadcast.

[This is the first broadcast of busking everyone has been waiting for]
– Everyone sat in front of the TV, right? If you are a fan of Uanna, you should definitely watch the first episode today.
As you may already know, who came and sang with Arin during the performance!
Derek, a world-class pop star who topped the Billboard charts like a meal!
It’s not that Derek.
In addition, the fact that Derek fell in love with Arin’s singing talent and came all the way to Korea together is so famous that everyone knows it, so you don’t have to say it, right?
It’s starting soon, so let’s all prepare snacks and beer and wait.
└ Will Derek not appear in episode 1 anyway?
└ ㅇㅅ I think I’ll show Derek’s shadow at the end hahahahaha
└ Still, there are so many people waiting to see that shadow?
└ It’s starting now after the last advertisement. let’s focus
As soon as he posted the post, while watching the comments running fast, Kim Young-soo came to the TV with beer and snacks.
In fact, Kim Young-soo was not a fan of Yu & Na until a few days ago.
Arin, who left for Portugal to film ＜Busking＞, was not interested even when all sorts of communities went wild over her busking performance with world-renowned pop star Derek.
Because Kim Young-soo did not like music very much.
There was an incident that made Kim Young-soo a fan of Yoo & Na.
It was a busking performance I saw on the way to Hongdae a few days ago.
“uh? what. Why are you so good at singing?”
Kim Young-soo, who was on his way to meet a friend in Hongdae, was stopped by the sound of a busker singing.
I couldn’t see my face well because I had my hat on. The voice he heard now was enough to startle Kim Young-soo.
This is despite the fact that the songs I’m singing now aren’t the high-pitched or virtuoso songs commonly sung by buskers.
And Kim Young-soo was not the only one whose steps were hijacked.
“Hey. I know because I’m a Uanna fan. Because that’s Arin’s voice for sure.”
“Are you crazy? Do you think Arin will sing here? There are a lot of music pros that Arin wants to recruit right now.”
“It’s true when you see them filming with a camera! Wanna bet?”
“call!”
Perhaps they were on their way home after playing in Hongdae with their friends, and two men were arguing over whether the singer was Arin or not.
‘If it’s Arin, is it U & Na’s Arin?’
Kim Young-soo also heard the name because it was Yuanna who appeared like a comet last year and showed so many steps.
Even if he is not interested in music.
“and.”
It was at the moment when he checked Busker’s face that an exclamation of exclamation came out of Kim Young-soo’s mouth.
“Arin is right! After all, Arin is the only person who sings this much with this voice.”
As the fighting men said, the identity of the busker hidden under the hat was Arin.
pretty.
It was only natural for her to be admired because she was a celebrity who appeared on TV for her looks.
Rather than the beauty of appearance, what Kim Young-soo admired was the beauty that shined brightly.
It’s hard to put into words, but it was.
And let the fans who recognize Arin stay together until the last song.
He said that Arin was over and thanked the fans who had been waiting for it.
“I performed as a surprise for filming. Thank you for noticing this and for being with us. We will sign autographs until the seats are cleared, so please line up in order.”
In the waiting line formed by Arin’s words, there was Kim Young-soo, who unknowingly joined.
“and. When it comes to Yuanna level, they don’t do it this far and just leave. Amazing, Great.”
“They signed autographs and took pictures together? oh my god!”
Kim Young-soo also took a picture with an autograph.
Looking at the photos stored on his cell phone, Kim Young-soo could see why he fell in love with the performance earlier.
Because in the photo, Arin was wearing the happiest smile in the world.
Falling in love with that smile and song, Kim Young-soo became a fan that day.

All of the semi-finalists for ＜Rap Legend K＞ have been decided.
Of the five producer teams, only three teams made it to the semifinals.
And one of those three teams had a team that even the producer himself didn’t expect.
It was the producer team of Draup and Jay-Z.
Grupo, who had been edited as a villain by PD Park Geun-cheol, suddenly became popular with people and advanced to the semi-finals.
More than anything else, what made people go wild about Grupo was the ability of Grupo, who improved remarkably with each performance.
And the high praise for that skill continued to Draup.
“CEO. I was amazed at the real representative’s eyes. To be honest, when I participated as a producer for the first time, I thought I wouldn’t be able to make it this far because all the talented contestants chose different teams.”
Draup with a smiley face came to visit me.
To be precise, to coordinate Yuna’s recruitment by featuring in the semi-final stage, not the final stage.
It was something that had already been discussed with the broadcasting station.
Instead of stopping PD Park Geun-cheol’s teasing in editing, Yuna went on stage with a single featuring.
“Mr. Dreup.”
“yes? If you have something to say to the representative, feel free to do so. Now, I will believe everything the CEO says.”
this.
It seems that Draup has developed trust and faith in me at some point.
This kind of appearance was usually seen in Arin, Yuna, Hyukjun, and Kim Sujin.
“Grupo’s semi-final stage featuring.”
“Could it be that Yuna couldn’t do it because of her schedule, right? You can’t do that.”
At my words, Draup shows an uneasy expression.
On the semi-final stage, I would have prepared the song and stage while only thinking about Yuna’s featuring.
If Yuna suddenly says things aren’t going well due to her schedule, she’ll have to make a complete change in a hurry.
“no. Of course, it’s an appointment, but I’ve adjusted all the schedules. I just wanted to try something like this.”
“how?”
Yuna was currently gaining popularity with ＜Chasing to the End＞ exceeding 30% in viewership ratings.
If you were to pick the hottest celebrity right now, I think Yuna would come out first.
There was one more person there.
Arin, a colleague who is like Yuna’s family and a member of Yuna.
Even though ＜Busking＞ is the first broadcast, it is said that the ratings are quite good.
In addition, the world-famous pop star Derek, who appeared at the end of the broadcast, made people’s interest in Arin even hotter.
“Why don’t you go with Yunna instead of Yuna alone for the semi-final stage featuring?”
“oh. Then we are better off. Isn’t U&Na’s popularity at its peak right now?”
“Come to think of it, I heard from Jay-Z that one more person will be participating as a featuring.”
At my words, Draup nodded with a confident face.
And the name that came out of Draup’s mouth was enough to startle even me.
“Reilper is on the semi-final stage, Yuna, no. I participated in featuring with Uanna.”
“Aren’t you the winner of rap legend K’s previous season?”
“you’re right. I asked for a favor because I am a close brother. This opponent is a strong contender for the title.”
this.
Certainly, as Dr. Dreup said, the opponent in the semi-final stage was predicted to be a strong contender for the championship.
From the beginning of the broadcast, PD Park Geun-cheol pushed hard with the winner’s pick.
Above all, he was also a rapper with excellent skills.
but.
Even Uanna is worth looking forward to.
To think that even the reeler who won the championship by showing an overwhelming performance with me in the previous season is with me.
Wouldn’t it be worth giving it a try?
looking forward.
The underdog’s rebellion and the stage for the semi-finals to show off the best stage.
＜ Episode 128 ＞ End
＜ Episode 129 ＞
[What are the odds that Grupo can make it to the finals today?]
– To be honest, I know that there is little chance.
All in all, the opponent is too strong. It feels like watching Lilper, the winner of last season.
Of course, it’s a little more lacking than the lilper. Last year, Lilper literally ate up the stage and won.
But Grupo has also grown a lot.
Above all, isn’t Jay-Z the one who shoots the beat right now?
To be honest, if it was another producer team, I would bet that it would be rejected.
Jay-Z’s fantastic beats still have a feature variable, so I’m gently betting a vote for Grupo.
└ What is the probability? 0. Bread is bread hahahaha Grupo has grown like crazy since the finals ㅇㅇ But I don’t think it’s good yet
└ I also voted for Grupo to be eliminated. But I think there are variables. The beat that Jay-Z would give to Grupo. Maybe if you give me this crazy beat
└ I’m Grupo! He is an underdog who has grown like crazy and reached the semifinals. Going to Grupo in anticipation of a rebellion!
└ Ha ha ha ha ha Will it work? In order for Grupo to win, the real Jay-Z would have to bring YuAnna, a singer from the same agency, too? lol
Kim Yeon-hoo, an avid listener of ＜Rap Legend K＞, nodded as he saw the comments running around his post.
Unlike usual, Kim Yeon-hoo’s surroundings are full of people and extremely noisy.
It was.
Kim Yeon-hoo, who became a fan of Jay-Z after the producer Cypher video, now came with a friend as an audience for the semi-final stage of ＜Rap Legend K＞.
“Who will be featuring in Grupo today? It would be nice if they were cast as strong kids so that there could be a twist. That way, there would be at least some possibility.”
To be honest, I wrote it like that, but it was Kim Yeon-hoo who was predicting Grupo’s elimination to some extent.
Grupo’s opponent is not as good as Lilper last season, but he literally came up with an overwhelming vote difference, eliminating all opponents.
And that expectation was confirmed after watching Grupo’s semi-final opponent stage.
Among the audience, who was still warm on the stage, Kim Yeon-hoo’s friend, who was more excited than anyone else, spoke to him.
“hey. There are still some Grupo stages left, but Grupo lost this by 100%. I just saw the stage and still don’t know. What are you trying to say?”
At the friend’s words, Kim Yeon-hoo nodded as if he couldn’t help it. Because it was such a huge stage.
Even Kim Yeon-hoo, who has to support Team Jay-Z’s Grupo, ran wild.
“uh? The groupo stage begins.”
“As expected, Jay-Z is Jay-Z. The beat has been crazy all season, just.”
The friend who just assured Grupo’s defeat agreed with Kim Yeon-hoo’s words this time.
“Is it because you think it’s the last time? How is your Grupo form today?”
It’s better than the last stage.
Even during the preliminaries, Gruppo was a participant who was evaluated as having a hard time advancing to the finals.
In no time, with Dreup’s producing, they’ve grown enough to stand on the semi-final stage.
“hey. Is this song really good?”
“right? uh huh what!”
Gruppo points to the backstage.
Someone in a hood jumped out throwing a quick-fire rap.
“oh my god! It’s a lilper!”
“and. You called the reelper?”
When Lilper, the winner of the previous season, appeared, not only Kim Yeon-hoo and her friends but also the audience were in a frenzy.
It was like a reelper who appeared as a dokgo die and literally chewed up the stage and won an overwhelming victory.
His presence on stage was different.
Because the ear-beating rap hit each word on the eardrum.
From the moment Reelper appeared, it was not an important issue for the audience who would win.
I was busy enjoying the stage that literally drove the audience into a frenzy.
In the midst of that heat, Kim Yeon-hu asked quietly.
“ah. Wouldn’t that be a hit?”
“Are you crazy? I just had a reelper, but it’s still too much. There are too few parts.”
“I know. Just give the lilper some more parts. Why did you do that?”
While the accompaniment was playing, Kim Yeon-hoo looked at the stage with regret.
It was Grupo who showed a much better stage than expected.
but.
‘One decisive shot is not enough. If only that one blow goes off, I won’t know this match.’
At this rate, as expected, Grupo’s defeat seemed certain.
However, there was still hope on Grupo’s face as he rode the rhythm on stage.
‘Why? Do you have any tricks?’
After a while, Kim Yeon-hoo learned the reason.
[ah-!]
It’s not just about piercing your ears, it’s a thrilling high-pitched sound that instantly gives goosebumps all over your body.
At the same time as the high note, the two appeared on the stage.
The decisive shot that Grupo needed to win.
That one room appeared.
“and! Mr. crazy Uanna is coming out here?”
“It is over. It just ended with that ah- sound.”
This reaction was not limited to Kim Yeon-hoo and friends.
The audience watching the stage was also not upset with the look of goosebumps.
The moment when Arin and Yuna of Yu & Na, the hottest celebrities at the moment, appeared as featured singers.
With the appearance of Yuanna, the semi-final stage was decided.
*
“Arin. it’s Yuna thank you.”
Jay-Z hugged Arin and Yuna as they came off the stage.
From noble mtl dot com
Even when he looked at the stage of Grupo’s semi-final opponent, it was Jay-Z with a nervous expression.
Needless to say about Draup, who was with him.
Lilper appeared and led to a hot reaction from people, but victory was still difficult to predict.
That moment.
