Until last month, TRV was low-key as if it would come running whenever you called. But seeing this sudden change in attitude, it seemed that he could smell the artist’s rising.
The VMC executives, who were waiting for the rebound of the new survival with ＜The Thirteen>, were at the filming site. In particular, director Kim Joo-cheol of the music content division was looking at the set with a nervous expression no matter who looked at it. Park Kyung-seok was the most difficult person for PD.
After the filming ended, General Manager Kim Joo-cheol and PD Park Kyung-seok had a conversation. It was a conversation about First Light’s steps.

Early in the morning on the day of the comeback.
We went to the station for pre-recording.
Since the preparation time from ‘Turn on the Light’ to the release of the regular album was so short, we all fell asleep until we arrived at the broadcasting station.
When I got down from the parking lot, it was still hot in early September. It seemed that if it rained once next week, it would be cool only after that.
For us who came with the refreshing concept, we are lucky in the weather. However, I don’t sweat very much, so it’s okay, but the members who sweat a lot took a lot of time to keep their makeup on.
I changed clothes for a rehearsal with the members. The members who get a lot of heat wore short-sleeved layers or received white long-sleeved shirts and jeans.
“I think this would be cooler than layered.”
“I know.”
Ahn Joo-won, who wore the hottest clothes today, agreed. Ahn Joo-won wore a long-sleeved cardigan like a schoolboy in a white tee, and silver-rimmed glasses.
“You must be hot.”
At my words, Joo-won Ahn said while looking at her clothes.
“It’s a nerd look.”
“this? It was just a handsome guy wearing glasses.”
At my words, the female staff members next to me said.
“Hae-won. That’s correct. That’s a nerd look.”
“That’s right! A handsome kid wearing glasses!”
“… … ah?”
got a new lesson
Anyway, First Light’s stylist, Ye-Young Lee, didn’t like printing and Hawaiian shirts that would be easy to coordinate with male idols in the summer, and in fact, she just didn’t like summer clothes, so our outfits were closer to early fall outfits.
Min Ji-ho, who gets a lot of heat, also wore a sleeveless shirt, but he was wearing a twilly.
Although the members were having a hard time, the fans liked it, so they were all satisfied and received the clothes.
By the way, when I checked the mirror, it was clear that she had light brown hair and a white shirt… … .
“… … Doesn’t it look plain?”
When I asked the shop clerk, he answered honestly.
“What are you really saying? When I try to bleach my hair, I hate it because it looks tough, and now they say it looks flat again. pretty, pretty What do you look in the mirror different from me?”
“No… … .”
Before I could say anything, the employee next to me said:
“Haewon only shows aegyo when she is at a disadvantage like that.”
“I only do it when I am at a disadvantage. I do it when it’s advantageous, but the noonas don’t feel it.”
“Go away, now.”
I smiled and pretended to move. For what he said so harshly, he took care of his hair, which would get messy if he went up anyway, until just before he went up on stage.
When I got to the stage, I saw waves crashing on the screen on the floor.
“Oh, that’s pretty.”
It was a stage where the feeling of spending money was generous. The broadcasting station paid some attention, but TRV seems to have spent quite a bit of money.
As I was standing facing the floor, Joo Won Ahn came to the side and asked.
“Hae-won. Are you fine?”
“yes? Are you fine. why?”
I guess it’s because I’m not looking at the fans and looking at the floor.
“I saw the floor because I was curious.”
“yes.”
I lifted my head and turned to the fans. It was nice to see the sunshine after three months. I tapped Hwang Dawn-byeok’s arm.
“It’s my first Sanok, so you say hello.”
“uh.”
So if you don’t do it, I’ll wait until I do it. Such a terribly introverted person thought that he would do well in a band club and become an idol.
Anyway, starting with Hwang Sae-byeok’s greetings, we had a short talk with Sun-yang before filming began. Park Seon-jae asked.
“It’s still early in the morning, isn’t it hot?”
“Seonjae, it’s hot!”
“Seonjae is so pretty today.”
From the reaction of the fans, everyone seemed to like today’s outfit. thank god.
“Haewon!”
I heard a voice calling me, so I turned around. I was the only fan with my name on the light stick during the last ‘Turn on the Light’ promotion.
I went and squatted and asked.
“Did the company give you that now?”
At that time, I had only one fan, so I remember it of course, but that Sunshine is very surprised.
“I gave it to you… … .”
“I’m glad. I went to work and begged him to give me mine too.”
I didn’t say anything funny, but the fans around me laughed, so I laughed too. I couldn’t communicate well with the fans because I was doing a sound check, so I pretended to sleep with my hands crossed and said, ‘Are you sleepy?’ ‘ and the fans shook their heads at the same time. It was so cute that I burst out laughing out loud.
The tension is relieved.

one o’clock in the afternoon.
Simultaneously with the release of the song, the music video for ‘I Waited For The Morning (Q&A)’ was released. And the time the music broadcast had just ended, it entered the real-time chart at #72.

Right after the comeback, I almost felt like I was being dragged by the schedule. I’m out of my mind, and what’s even more insane than that was the company.
The atmosphere in the company was gloomy. It’s good, but I have to say it’s a subdued atmosphere.
Han Hyo-seok, who is the most meticulous in checking the music rankings every day at the beginning of the week, explained the reason. On Saturday, when we arrived at the venue for the first fan signing, Han Hyo-seok asked the TRV staff.
“Are the shipments okay? I was worried about the sunlight.”
“yes? uh… … .”
Min Ji-ho, who was fixing makeup while the staff was embarrassed, said.
“Did you say that the sun doesn’t get invoices? Why didn’t you take a picture?”
So, Shin Ji-woon, who looked at his cell phone, answered indifferently.
“The shipment is not good.”
“uh? Is that okay?”
“There must be some problems in the early days.”
At Shin Ji-woon’s words, the atmosphere became quiet, so I couldn’t help it.
“It is proof that you are doing well this time. I’m a little sorry for the sunbursts, but in fact, the distributor is more important than the initial release.”
When I made excuses on my behalf, the employees’ expressions brightened, and on the other hand, Park Seon-jae mumbled with a dissatisfied expression.
“When he said things like that, he always said ‘you’. Are you talking about someone else?”
uh
When I stopped, Han Hyo-seok said next to me.
“I know yeah.”
“I’m very sorry, I. uh?”
“So. I’m sorry, very.”
“Ji is an employee, what is it?”
“Still, let’s stick with the older brother.”
“I can’t do it now, I’m upset.”
“That too.”
When the two talked like a joke, people burst into laughter and the serious atmosphere of the staff and members was relieved.
It is definitely a good thing that the atmosphere exceeded the expected Initial Chodong. One of the staff told me.
“Thank you for explaining on my behalf, Haewon.”
“I can’t do the initial movement anymore… … . Would a concert hall be enough?”
“ah… … I will check again.”
Seeing that the initial Chodong predictions were very wrong, I didn’t know if the concert hall would be too tight, so I said it first.
The company doesn’t seem to increase the number of seats easily because it would be better for publicity to sell out small ones rather than leaving a lot of audience seats in the concert hall. I’ll go and check it out.
While waiting until the fan signing event, another problem arose. I glanced down the hallway and saw the TRV PR team swearing and pulling my hair out. precious hair… … not this.
When I looked at the members, everyone was checking the articles on their cellphones. When I looked at the article on Min Ji-ho’s cell phone, which was nearby, it was an article from VMC.
[First Light’s advance into the entertainment industry. To the extent of the tyranny of the airwaves… … .]
[Idols who debuted in TYT as KQS survival?]
It was about a new survival on the airwaves that I heard at the hospital.
“Hyung, we decided not to do KQS survival.”
At Hwang Sae-byeok’s words, Manager Park Joong-woon hurriedly ran down the hallway. Then, after talking with the PR team member, he came and said:
“I think TYT just published an article. Well, it’s true that KQS is still trying to cast First Light… … .”
“It is the story of the perpetrator.”
Shin Ji-woon murmured, so I was nervous.
“You are careful.”
“yes.”
Shin Ji-woon answered and pretended to cover his mouth with his hand.
Anyway, on the one hand, this probably means that the public’s opinion on me is a little bit unfavorable to Kuk Seon-ah. So, it seems that the producers and producers of Kuk Seon-ah are trying to pretend they are the weak and victims.
I sat down on a chair and closed my eyes. We have a fan meeting left, so we need to keep our spirits up. As in the last time, there is no more trouble in the group that comes and goes even with hyperventilation symptoms.
By the way, it seems that TYT is checking KQS’s new survival game in its own way. Survival, which has not been cast yet, has been delayed until the formation of the show.
Apparently, when it comes to ‘music survival’, they want to build a firm image of ‘TYT’. Every broadcaster wants to have its own color, whether it be a drama or a variety show. Latecomer TYT will add up.
The public relations team was contacting the company and KQS in turn.
Whether or not I participate in KQS’s new survival game is actually up to me, a member who can compose. My mentality didn’t follow me, so I was rejecting TRV… … .
Ha, my mind is getting complicated… … It’s not like someone is pushing my back, it’s just a burden.
For now, I have to fix my mentality.
Just before the fan signing event started, I checked the status window.
[2. Corrects the cognitive dissonance of appearance normally]
[Selection is complete]
… … Does this make it look a little less intense? That would be it. When I meet a fan at a fan signing event, I want to leave a good impression even a little.
There is no change when I look at my face in the mirror, so I can’t feel any difference right now. I asked Shin Ji-woon as I went to the fan signing table.
“Do I look different or anything like that?”
“Uh, I don’t know, I’m not interested.”
“Is not it? You picked the wrong person to ask.”
“Yeah, it seems like that.”
After giggling with Shin Ji-woon while talking like that, I took my seat at the far end.
