He said he was a kid, but he looked like he was in his early 20s.
It doesn’t matter how old you look.
The important thing is that I can see the size of Arin’s talent.
however.
what?
This brilliant light that blinds your eyes and makes you blind.
Episode 3
I kept looking at Arin as if I was possessed by something. Until Jiyoung Lee introduced me to Arin.
“Arin. here is someone i know You’ve been to our academy a few times, but Arin is probably seeing you for the first time?”
“hello. My name is Arin Kim.”
“…”
Arin greeted me, but I couldn’t accept it. Because of that brilliant talent that stings the eyes.
“Chief Choi?”
“Ah… nice to meet you. Miss Arin.”
Only then did Lee Ji-young’s words come to her senses.
What is it?
I see talent. The size of that talent is greater as the brightness of the visible light is brighter.
I asked Han Ji-woo for a while and checked the broadcasting station together again.
Thanks to that, I also knew that MCs who reached the top showed a brighter talent than others.
I’m sure it was…
Among those who have recently seen this level of dazzling talent, there was no top-notch MC or Han Ji-woo.
Han Ji-woo was so overwhelming that there was no comparison target.
Arin, who looked at me for a moment, who had been staring at me in awe, looked away with an expression of seeing a strange person.
As Lee Ji-young said, she looks tired after working part-time.
Arin, who drew attention from me, turned his head to Lee Ji-young.
“Sam. I’m going to practice a little bit today.”
“okay. Use the practice room you used to use. and Arina. Today, this person wants to take a look around our academy. Wouldn’t it be nice to see you sing a little bit?”
“yes. does not matter. I’ll go in. Sam.”
Arin closed the practice room door and disappeared from sight. When the brilliant light disappears in front of my eyes, I can breathe.
“how is it?”
Han Ji-woo asked me.
How are you?
“it surprised me. You have to listen to the song to know, but first of all, the voice is so good. I’m sorry about that, but I’ll go to the center even if I put it between the kids who were preparing at Aria Enter right away.”
“Right? So I told CEO Choi. If Arin is good enough, it’s okay to debut as a solo singer right away, rather than becoming an idol. Maybe Arin will know what I mean when he hears the song.”
I know.
I thought he gave a generous subjective evaluation because he was simply a disciple learning at a practical music academy.
But looking at it in person, if I put it among the kids who were preparing at Aria Enter, it would be at the level of entering the center right away?
Skills are important, but to become a celebrity recently, it was also important to be attractive to the public.
In that respect, Arin deserves high marks.
Of course, I don’t know because I haven’t heard the song yet.
As Lee Ji-young assured, it was clear that he would do more than the basics.
The light that shows her talent also tells me that Arin’s talent is amazing.
Then it’s even weirder.
“If my eyes weren’t wrong. And if the director recommends it, it seems likely enough. Why didn’t you join the agency?”
There is no answer to the question for a while. Is there any reason not to say it?
Looking at the door of the practice room where Arin entered, Lee Ji-young’s gaze looks a bit complicated.
“Of course I went in. To the agency… I ended up coming out…”
“If it’s okay, may I ask where you are?”
Maybe I went into a strange place and got out of school.
However, Lee Ji-young’s answer that followed was completely different from what I expected.
“… TOP Entertainment.”
“Are you the TOP enterner I know?”
“Yes. The TOP enter that CEO Choi knows well. As far as I know, Arin spent about two years as a trainee there.”
TOP Entertainment is one of the four largest entertainment companies in Korea.
It is a place with excellent ability that has already succeeded in several top-notch idol groups.
I was a trainee for 2 years at such TOP Entertainment, but I couldn’t even debut and came out?
But the thought did not go any further. It would be meaningless to make assumptions in the absence of information.
You can check it with your own eyes.
“Director. If it’s okay, can I listen to Arin’s song?” “Sure. Because Arin said it was okay too.”
I thought we would go in together, but after speaking, Lee Ji-young turned around.
Weren’t you going in together?
“I have class in a little while. Arin said it was okay too, so listen to it without being disturbed.”
you will be surprised After saying the last words, Lee Ji-young disappeared for another student’s lesson.
It seems that there are more students than when I just found Lee Ji-young during the Aria Entertainer days.
Back then, like now, there were no students in sight and it was quiet.
than that
“Why haven’t you seen it yet?”
This is not the first time I have visited the practical music academy run by Lee Ji-young.
Jiyoung Lee usually visits and gives lessons to the kids, but there have been a few occasions when she has come here to take lessons.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
If it was really to the point of debuting right away, I wouldn’t have let go of TOP Entertainment.
I wonder if there is a fatal flaw that has not been corrected enough to cover the talent.
According to Lee Ji-young, the director of a practical music academy and vocal trainer, it is clear that her singing skills are not the same.
So, that means there is a problem somewhere else.
What is it?
You’ll know if you check it yourself.
Click.
When I open the door, I see Arin tuning his guitar.
The hand movement to adjust the head reel is quite skillful.
“hi.”
“hello.”
It might feel awkward when you see someone for the first time, and if you are alone in a small practice room.
Arin doesn’t show that kind of expression. Rather, he says, “I’m tuning my guitar,” and skillfully leads the atmosphere without being awkward.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
Rather than other families, let’s listen to the song first.
“You may have just heard it from the director, but would it be okay if I listen to the song?”
“yes. are you okay. You can sit over there.”
Arin, who was conscious of me for a moment, immediately turned his gaze to the guitar in his hand. And after a while, I forget myself and immerse myself.
The way they lightly flick their fingers and match the sound catches the eye.
No matter how I look at it, I’m greedy. If it’s enough to catch my eye, I wouldn’t miss it if it was a large agency with a top entertainment level.
“Um, um.”
A humming sound is heard to clear the mind.
Starting with the first note, Ding, Arin’s fingers touch the top of the guitar and her lips open.
“At sunset, between the alleyways…”
uh?
I blankly listened to Arin’s singing.
No, not blindly. I fell in love with the goose bumps on my arms.
The sound is deep.
The difference between a normal person and a singer can be clearly distinguished by just listening to the first verse.
And even among the same singers, sometimes there are people who give goosebumps as soon as they part their lips, no. It really comes up occasionally.
People with that kind of talent make the listener tremble just by hearing a word.
just like now
“… those days I miss.”
Was it when you appeared on a music show during your BS Entertainment days?
I have seen the comeback stage of one of the top 5 vocalists in Korea floating around the community just in time.
The goosebumps and thrills I felt then.
I just felt that while listening to Arin’s song.
You sent out talent who can sing a song like this?
why?
At the same time, doubts about this incomprehensibility grew rapidly.
I’ll have to check this out slowly.
As soon as I got up, Arin’s hand stopped preparing for the next song.
One song was enough. A peek at Arin’s potential.
“I heard you. Miss Arin. And this is my business card.”
I handed Arin a stiff business card that the person who received it had not yet crossed both fingers.
WH Entertainment.
Representative Woohyuk Choi.
Receiving the business card, Arin’s eyes shook. And I didn’t miss that shake.
“You are the representative of the agency…”
“It’s a very young company, but it has a lot going for it in the future.”
After wetting my lips for a while to soothe my burning stomach, I continued.
“I just heard the song so moving. So, there is one thing I want to suggest to Miss Arin.”
If you’ve heard this far, there’s no way you wouldn’t know what to say next unless you’re an idiot.
And an unexpected, no, expected answer flowed from Arin’s mouth.
“sorry. CEO. If you are going to get a casting offer, I have no intention of going into the entertainment industry. never again.”
“is that so? Still, I don’t want you to throw away your business card just in case. It was fate that we met like this.”
“yes. Okay.”
i saw Contrary to Arin’s statement that he was not interested, the way he carefully took care of his business card.
If I hadn’t really been interested in it, if I had given up on the entertainment industry without any regrets, I would have packed it roughly.
I caught it in my eyes.
“Then I’ll go away so I can keep practicing so I won’t be disturbed.”
“yes.”
“ah. and···”
As he blurted out the end of his words, a doubt appeared on Arin’s face.
You’re the type to show your expression well on your face.
“As soon as I heard the first line of the song, I got goosebumps. That’s why I gave you a business card because I didn’t want to miss it. I felt strongly that I shouldn’t miss it.”
“Ah… that’s right.”
From noble mtl dot com
“If there is another chance next time, can I hear it?”
“…”
There is no answer from Arin for a while.
Is it still rejected?
“···yes.”
“thank you. Then I will go.”
I don’t know what Arin’s expression was like. Because I turned around without hesitation.
But I do know one thing.
Shaking eyes, and regret that pops out from time to time.
Arin, like other trainees, dreams of becoming that shining top star.
“Not yet.”
fledgling company. And a young CEO who just got out of his early 30s.
I don’t know what’s going on, but Arin was one of the top entertainment companies in Korea and even a trainee.
to turn your mind around. And you have to approach slowly so that you can trust me.
What you need to figure out first of all.
Did he leave the agency despite overflowing because his skills were not enough?
*
Arin stared blankly at the door through which the man who introduced himself as Choi Woo-hyuk entered.
After that, I carefully take out the business card that I put in my bosom and look at it again.
WH entertainment
CEO Choi Woo-hyeok
A simple business card. And a company name I hadn’t even heard of.
Perhaps, as a man named Choi Woo-hyuk said, it looked like a really new company.
“No, why are you thinking like this? Ariana. Calm down.”
I thought I had washed away all my lingering feelings. Was it not?
After the day I gave up my dream of becoming a singer, when I struggled with betrayal and decided to leave the agency. Arin made up his mind.
that I would never look again
Singing alone like now is enough to make me happy.
Until now.
Until now, before I met the man Choi Woo-hyuk.
“Relax!”
match. Arin, who slapped the cheek loudly, grabbed the guitar again.
