Jinki Kang, one of the best producers in Korea.
He was called the ‘Father of Music’ by TIKE Entertainment and has composed numerous hit songs, and he looked resentfully at the national MC Baek Min-hyung who was sitting next to him.
“I knew I would. So I said no. me and him? It was a bad relationship in a previous life, no doubt!”
“Jingi, don’t get too excited. Don’t go too far.”
“When I die, write it on my tombstone. I lost it twice to a person born in 2004 and went quickly with a vase.”
“When you die, what kind of gravestone do you want to sprinkle under the tree? … But, this is not important.”
Jin-gi Kang, who was RUSH’s internal producer, called Baek Min-hyung as soon as he heard Jung Hae-won’s cheering song from episode 2, and was just calling.
– How do I know him? push it away! If my song is chosen, I’m the only one who gets a double bath! I’ll do it! Just give it to him!
“Oh, I’m sorry. Jingi.”
– Brother, where are you? Have a drink and talk
“I have to play with my daughter… … I will leave.”
I was playing with a princess who didn’t hurt even if I put it in my eyes, and suddenly I started drinking with a hot-tempered composer.
Kang Jin-gi complained for a while, and then said to Baek Min-hyung.
“brother. I’m a genius too.”
“I know, I know. Who said what?”
“I studied composition at Seoul National University.”
“Because I know. We want to send our condolences. Is it greed… … .”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Focus on me, little!”
“Hey, Jinki Kang is a genius in Korea, but is there anyone in Toda? you are doing well Why are you doing this to the kid?”
“He’s won twice and hasn’t said a word to say he’s sorry?”
“Aren’t you stressed because you think you lost it? … . I’ll give Haewon your number when I meet. Is that so?”
“Just tell him to come out now!”
“Hey, what are you doing to the kid who’s going to comeback next week?”
“Next week, then we can have a drink.”
“I said I don’t drink.”
“You don’t even drink? Even if you stab it, not a drop of blood will come out… … . I hope that wherever I go in my life from now on, there will be only X or happiness.”
“… … Why are you all of a sudden?”
“Then I don’t compose. I’m happy, but what are you composing for?”
“Uh-huh, yes, I hope it’s full of happiness.”
Even though Baek Min-hyung was nice, he said it with a sense of uneasiness, but Kang Jin-gi stood up and said.
“This is not the time for me to be like this. Even now, the competitor is composing.”
“Wow, you look like a Seoul National University student after a while.”
“My brother bought the drink, so I’m upset!”
“Draw it. You called, but I will live.”
Baek Min-hyung said reluctantly and waved his hand to Jin-ki Kang, who was heading home, to greet him. Anyway, the composers around me all had such eccentric personalities, so I was almost biased towards composers.

In my opinion, the second recording also ended in the same mood as the first.
Seeing that I have no sense at all whether it was good or not, I guess I have no sense of entertainment.
I went into the practice room to practice for the comeback song, but it was empty.
I was stretching and tying the laces of my sneakers, and the members started coming into the practice room one by one at the scheduled 3 o’clock.
“Oh, the kids have changed. If it’s a three o’clock practice, uh, come 5 minutes before and warm up. uh?”
Although I was nagging at the members like that, the only one who didn’t come at 3 o’clock was Shin Ji-woon, who was filming a drama. To match the formation, a dancer from the choreography team stood in a new spot and practice began.
‘Starlight’ is a pop rock genre, and during the arrangement process, I prepared a solo song by Hwang Sae-byeok, and I was influenced by listening to a lot of genre music based on Hwang Sae-byeok’s recommended band.
Hwang Sae-byeok was upset that I was too indifferent to rock, and on the contrary, I countered that you were too rock-hard.
Anyway, I like the result of pointing out each other like that, personally out of all the songs I’ve been working on as a first light so far. The choreography was also good. There are a lot of moves that look free, but it wasn’t easy.
What I like the most about this song is the fact that the members are especially excited when they practice choreography.
“Ah, bro. Strangely, everyone smiles when they practice with Starlight.”
At Han Hyo-seok’s words, Min Ji-ho, who had been so excited throughout the choreography, did not know what to do, shouted.
“Just have fun! I love the song!”
Then, he makes a noise that he doesn’t know what to say and runs around laughing. I said as I sat down next to Stork Dawn, who had sat with his back against the mirror.
“Minjo has good physical strength.”
“It’s because I was young.”
“We are too young.”
“Hey, it’s still so hard right now, but I can’t believe it will get harder as I get older. Are you really in good shape right now?”
“That’s right.”
“There is no hope… … .”
I was giggling at Hwang Sae-byeok’s frustration, so Ahn Ju-won also came and sat down and said,
“I’m having a hard time too.”
“Quick is out.”
Ahn Joo-won said with a sad expression at my words.
“You really shouldn’t say that. A few days apart from me.”
“You and I are different.”
Ahn Joo-won was born two days after Ipchun, so Hwang Sae-byeok and Hwang Sae-byeok are different. I said jokingly.
“Actually, I am the older brother. Isn’t that right?”
“Oh yeah. I want to be old.”
“Hey, birdie, did you hear that? Ahn Joo-won was arguing Shouldn’t this be celebrated?”
“Commemorate yourselves… … .”
Hwang Sae-byeok waved his hands to not speak. I’m starting to think that the biggest enemy of First Light’s activities isn’t his agency, but Hwang Sae-byeok’s physical strength.
While we were talking like that, Min Ji-ho, Han Hyo-seok, and Park Seon-jae also came to me and started meddling. Hyo-seok Han said.
“05 The two of us look like the most grown-ups when we drink.”
“That’s right! They both sound more like an uncle than my dad when they drink. They talk about fishing and mountaineering that only they know each other every day.”
Ahn Joo-won said as Min Ji-ho said he was going to die from frustration.
“Do you want to go fishing with Jiho too?”
“Can go? Are you going to take me?”
“If only you want to go, take me.”
“But how do you drive? Do you two take turns doing it?”
“yes.”
“Then I won’t go. I am curious about fishing, but I have to save my life.”
“No, I can drive well now. And if we go fishing together, Jiwoon will pick up sashimi.”
“… … okay? Can I eat a lot? Do you want me to cook ramen too?”
“Ah, of course not.”
When Min Ji-ho, who had fallen for sashimi and ramen, decided to go fishing, Park Seon-jae said while looking at his phone.
“Oh, Jiwoon is the older brother. During recess, they call me like a ghost.”
And as soon as I turned on the video call, Shin Ji-woon, who was wearing a school uniform, said that he was filming.
– What, why are you gathering? I don’t have We should all separate and rest.
“We came together to insult you.”
– Oh, don’t. i’m really hurt
“How did you know it was break time?”
– We practice for a day or two, of course you know.
Then he cries out not to gather around when he’s not there. The rest time passed like crazy as the members made fun of each other by adding a word. Choreography team leader Jang Ji-young said.
“Guys, let’s try again.”
“yes. Jiwoon hyung and Jiyoung want to practice. cut off.”
– Don’t have fun without me. got it? Have fun when I get back.
Whatever Shin Ji-woon said or not, Park Seon-jae hung up the phone. Jang Ji-young said to the members who lined up again.
“When you rested, you gathered together and rested. Very friendly.”
After that, the members grunted that they weren’t close, and then started practicing.

The 3rd episode of RUSH, which I filmed for the second time, overlapped with the release date of the first teaser for the music video.
I started watching the entertainment show, which started at 11 o’clock, an hour before the teaser was released, with the members at the dorm. My studio shot went into the front part of the broadcast.
– Would you like some strawberries?
– What strawberry?
– Because our members’ parents took care of them.
I brought out strawberries that Hwang Sae-byeok’s parents had prepared for Baek Min-hyung when Baek Min-hyung came while watching a variety show. Hwang Sae-byeok, who was watching TV, said.
“I can’t even eat strawberries that are so good. You sent it as a special product as a national MC.”
“It was really delicious… … .”
When I opened the warehouse in the studio on the air, the snacks sent by this member and that member’s parents were piled up in a small space. I introduced the surprised Baek Min-hyung and Jung-tae to who sent them. Seeing this again, I think that the members’ parents treat me like a son. Great, it warms my heart.
Ahn Joo-won, who was checking the real-time reaction, said, probably because Baek Min-hyung and Jung-tae ate strawberries so deliciously.
“The real-time reaction is all about eating.”
It’s time to be hungry when you’re awake… … .
I wonder if their strawberry mukbang was too intense, and even our members are rummaging through the ramen box.
Min Ji-ho asked.
“Hyungs, shall we just boil it now?”
Then the Stork Dawn replied.
“Let’s wait a little longer. Jiwoon is still lonely, but if we eat ramen together, we get tired.”
“Hey.”
Min Ji-ho was crying, luckily he heard the door lock. And as soon as Shin Ji-woon came in, Min Ji-ho said.
“Brother, hurry up! Make ramen noodles!”
“Did I wait? really?”
Looking at the reaction, if I had boiled ramen beforehand, I would have been really pissed off.
After eating all the ramen Shin Ji-woon had boiled, 10 minutes before the teaser was released. Hyo-seok Han said.
“… … I feel like I will.”
“me too… … .”
Park Seon-jae nodded next to him, and Hwang Sae-byeok said as if surprised.
“You still haven’t done it? He’s healthy.”
Everyone was nervous because of the teaser release and it seemed like they couldn’t digest it.
When we were so nervous, Cheung Tae said on the air.
– Haewon-ah, your new song is coming out. do the choreography
-dance? not singing?
– Haewon is good at dancing.
Knowing that I am not confident in singing, Jung Tae-tae highly recommended dancing. I can’t be so grateful to have someone I know as a real MC.
I quickly turned on the highlight of the soundtrack. And as I was looking for the timing to start the choreography, Baek Min-hyung said.
– I don’t take it out.
– Hey, where is this opportunity?
I went into the point choreography with the answer. I wasn’t too shy to choreograph in front of a lot of staff and two MCs. Of course. Whether I’m composing or going out on variety shows. The end goal is always first light. I can’t let go of giving it a chance.
I wasn’t shy about that, but I’m ashamed of the sincere subtitles on the airwaves.
[Twinkle Idol]
It was actually written that way. It even gave me a glitter effect. The members were holding their breath and laughing, then they heard a groan.
Future Jung Hae-won, the me of the past lived so hard… … .
It’s twelve o’clock in the meantime.
In the middle of the entertainment show, the music video teaser 1 was released on YouTube.
It was a scene where the intro was played with the sound of a tropical flute along with the breathing sound of Min Ji-ho in a spacesuit.
Each member turned on YouTube on their cell phone and checked the music video teaser. I grabbed my phone and asked.
“Do people who aren’t our fans also comment on the teaser?”
“No, now there is only sunlight.”
Ahn Joo-won answered, so I nodded and looked at the reaction. There are so many English comments, so I turn on the translation and read it carefully, said Park Seon-jae.
“Hyungs, can’t we listen to the starlight just once? I want to hear it.”
“Listen!”
“Shall I play?”
The members seem to like the new song as much as I do. While Han Hyo-seok was playing our new song, Joo-won Ahn, who was checking her phone, said in a very surprised voice.
“… … The entertainment effect is no joke.”
At those words, all the members looked back at Ahn Joo-won.
