To Hwang Sae-byeok’s words, Lee Ye-young, stylist next to him, answered instead.
“Do you know how difficult it is for Haewon to style him?”
“I know.”
So I intervened with an unhappy heart.
“I still do it all.”
“Oh, don’t say no. But if I try to draw the eyes a little harder, what kind of boots are looking through the eyes of a cat, will it proceed?”
After that, the shop staff added a word to each other.
“Look, if Ji is at a disadvantage, he trembles with aegyo.”
“Ah, that’s very unfortunate.”
I grumbled and thought about looking in the mirror for a while, then decided to just quit.
Looking at the status of the rest of the members, I can guess my condition as well. The eye makeup took longer than usual, and the black leather jacket was combined, so it was hard to see. I don’t want to see you
By the way, First Light today was almost like a Chrome Hearts exhibition hall. I also got a ring and a piercing. I got it when I was a trainee, but it’s been a long time since I’ve done it, so it was almost blocked.
“Can’t we just pierce it with force?”
When I talked to the struggling employee, Shin Ji-woon was terrified by his side.
“No, bro. Would that be easy for someone else’s body?”
“Then you do it.”
“at once?”
“uh.”
“Even if it’s not the original location, I don’t know.”
“I knew.”
Shin Ji-woon came and pressed the piercing at once, and there was a squeaking sound in his ear. Contrary to the creepy sound, it seems to fit into its original location.
“this is right? look.”
While speaking, Shin Ji-woon unintentionally held out the mirror, and as soon as I saw my face, I cursed and hit the mirror. The face I saw briefly in the mirror was not a face I could show on stage at all. It was a dirty, tough, unpleasant face.
The mirror I was handed over fell to the floor and shattered, and immediately after that, I looked straight into the camera with my eyes. Fortunately, there were no cameras and no crew. And I took a step back and looked at the situation. Of course, the atmosphere was cheap.

Oh, Mr. How crazy do you look? Ji made a song with this concept and couldn’t handle it, so I’m doing this.
I sighed because I was pathetic, but Shin Ji-woon said as if nothing had happened.
“What can I do without disinfection?”
“If you put it on well, you can’t do it.”
“So that’s why I was suspicious.”
At that, Min Ji-ho came and checked my ears from behind.
“Is this right? It’s not crooked for once.”
“okay? I’m glad.”
Since Shin Ji-woon and Min Ji-ho were calm, the atmosphere quickly returned to normal. I sat down to put the mirror away and was pushed back by the staff.
“Go Hae-won.”
“I woke up, so I’ll clean it up.”
As I squatted and talked, Shin Ji-woon came and sat down next to me and said.
“Sorry, I forgot for a moment that I didn’t look in the mirror. In fact, I woke up.”
“Okay, you woke up.”
“Oh, both of you are in the way, so go away!”
It was a good mirror, and the pieces didn’t stick out, so fortunately it was fixed quickly.
Even after that, the members were noisier than ever before going on stage. Knowing that the staff there were also doing this to change the atmosphere, we acted busier than usual together. It was uncomfortable, but thank you, so I just laughed and talked as usual as much as possible.
Soon it was time to go on stage. When only the members were left in the elevator to go to the stage, Park Seon-jae told me.
“Your face is fine today, so why not?”
At those words, the members and I laughed a little. and asked jokingly.
“Are you really okay?”
“yes! I want to look like you too.”
“a.”
“Really.”
Still, there is only the maknae. Even with empty words, my heart felt much lighter. I’m pretty simple too. hahahaaha.
The stage set that went up like that was wonderful. It seems that all the money saved in the 3rd mission was poured out here. TRV seemed to have spent at least ten times the basic budget given by KQS.
It means that today’s final stage is as important as it is, and at the same time, ‘The Rising’ is a rising atmosphere.
All the members of First Light knew that, so they poured their energy into it like the last stage of their lives.
After the stage was over, I looked at the faces of the audience.
Contrary to what I thought, the audience looked at me with twinkling eyes. It seems that the impression was not as bad as my worries.
I’m really happy. Really, really, very happy.
I looked into those twinkling eyes and smiled. Just praying that the audience will remember me with a smile.
After the stage was over, we laid down on mats on the floor of the waiting room as if we had weaved each other. And there was no word for a while.
After a while, Joo Won Ahn opened her mouth.
“Hae-won.”
“yes?”
“Do you think you could make a better song than this for the rest of your life?”
At Ahn Joo-won’s words, I laughed out loud.
“uh.”
“… … Envy you.”
The members burst out laughing at Ahn Joo-won’s answer. I laughed too hahahaaha.

New Days’ producer and composer Heo Hae-jun was at the pre-recording location for the final mission.
I had been to all three stages before, and I could see that the atmosphere changed drastically each time. The rising trend of broadcasting was felt in the atmosphere of the audience.
I knew that out of the two songs Jung Hae-won made, one went to New Days and the other to First Light.
There was a curiosity about the song ‘Matthew’, which the First Light members chose through the meeting.
New Days also came out with a new song. Whether you had any feelings from the 3rd mission last time, the members who had been working hard hung on the stage until one of them spilled their nosebleeds.
Here, the responsible PD Woo Hye-jeong was a college classmate. Composer Heo Hae-Jeong said while receiving the coffee handed to him by PD Woo Hye-Jung.
“Hey, how lucky are you that the kids know how to work so hard.”
“I want to say that it is my ability… … . I am lucky.”
Producer Hye-Jeong Woo spoke and took a sip of his coffee and continued.
“Did you come to see the First Light stage?”
“How was the rehearsal?”
“I ripped it.”
At the words of producer Woo Hye-jung, composer Heo Hae-jun laughed. Since he was a music broadcast producer, he looked more comfortable as if he was looking for his own clothes while filming a stage compared to when he was filming a variety show. PD Woo Hye-jeong continued.
“In the first week, when you were sprained, there was pecking and riots everywhere? The atmosphere here was really dark, but I met the director a while ago, and he smiled brightly at me, right?”
“Your ratings are your personality.”
“That’s what I mean.”
The stage started because they were laughing at each other with the motives they were comfortable with even after meeting for a long time.
After PD Woo Hye-jeong said goodbye and left, composer Heo Hae-joon watched the stage. After the stage was over, when producer Woo Hye-jung returned, composer Heo Hae-jun asked.
“Hey Jeong-ah. Isn’t it a bit too much when I see myself born in 04 and develop a sense of rivalry?”
At that, PD Woo Hye-jung responded by drinking coffee, probably the fifth time today.
“You have to look at the kids and have a sense of rivalry, the seniors are now slowly retiring, and our age group is already in its prime.”
“Is not it. That’s right.”
“Don’t tell the kid. Play kid.”
“If you were born in 04… … Even if we succeeded only in our third love, there would be a child older than that.”
At that, PD Woo Hye-jeong responded with a smile.
“How grateful I am to give birth to one such child. You get caught up in mannerisms and then you come to your senses once in a while.”
“So. That’s what I want to say. Ah, as long as he can endure it mentally, he will become an unconditional man.”
Producer Woo Hye-jung agreed with that statement and nodded.

The evening of the pre-recording day. The second episode of the 3rd mission was broadcast.
Six units pass in order, and the final stage. Jung Hae-won, who was drinking water while taking a break in New Days’ practice room, said.
“Stop looking at it. I have stage fright.”
“I’m sorry!”
[Almost kindergarten atmosphere hahahaaha
[The age difference is one or two years at the most, so why are you and the teachers so similar hahahaahaha]
Jung Hae-won, who stood up because the members looked at him too much, looked back at the members following behind him and said,
“I’m going to the studio. I’m going?”
“ah!”
Then the members left. Jung Hae-won was absurd and headed to composer Heo Hae-jun’s studio.
After listening to the song where all the work was done, composer Heo Hae-jun asked.
“Then why did you say you wanted to do an oriental arrangement? Trying to get rid of my skills!”
“No, there is… … not there.”
[There is that too hahahaaha
[There was hahahaahaha
“The narrator of this song is sad. There are just a lot of Korean folk songs like that. I can’t even go ten miles to get sick. Words are like curses, the songs are sad, and they are just words. I like that kind of ambiguity.”
“I hope you’re really picky, you too. That’s why I’m not asking you to make a sad and light arrangement.”
“Okay.”
“I’d rather ask for a hot iced Americano.”
“Ah, I hope because I’m a person I can hope for. You can do it all.”
“Ugh, Lee hyung must be in a lot of trouble.”
“If Lee hyung hears that, he will really like it. There are people who know how hard they are.”
Then came an interview with composer Heo Hae-jun.
“The biggest thing I felt while working together was that this wasn’t a compliment, it was a curse. Because I’m a producer at the company, people keep coming and going in front of the studio, right? Then he gets up every time to say hello.”
“Is that an insult?”
When the production team asked, composer Heo Hae-jun continued.
“It’s an insult. I told the person I’m working on that there is no one in the company who wants to say hello, but they don’t like people who don’t like them. Still, I said that music should be more important to people who make music.”
Composer Heo Hae-jun coughed and continued.
“You say you make music because you want to be loved? Maybe he doesn’t like music that much. Where in the world is such a lie? So this is a song sung by a liar.”
After the interview with composer Heo Hae-jun, the final stage of the 3rd mission. ‘Traces’ followed.
The real-time chat was crowded with questions about the outcome of New Days’ Jinyoung Kang’s strategy.
[X praises me]
[If the song isn’t that good, I think it’ll cool off]
And the stage started with a short play by Jinyoung Kang.
[The pillar floating on the water is a fragment of memory]
The choreography started with waves hitting the floor screen where the members were sitting. Because it was a stage for the audience as well as a stage for filming, the camera shown above was taking pictures of the members singing the introduction with their heads tilted.
Then, a choreography was performed in which the shadows of the water swirling on the water were expressed using the bodies of several members. New Days basically taught dance at the company, so the members skillfully performed flexible and light choreography.
[It is the memory that makes me sad, it is my little room that makes me happy]
At the end of the last lyrics, the members stopped their movements, and a grid of lights came on on the stage. The stage ended with the six unit members standing in the grid.
And at the same time, the real-time chat burst out at an unparalleled speed.
[Wow, I held my breath without realizing it]
[What kind of art do you do]
[I was a calm person X Heo Hae-jun, I wish I had that kind of reaction when I received this song]
[↳I mean hahahaahaha
[↳If it were me, I would go crazy as soon as I received the song hahahaahaha]
[The production team would not have expected this level of perfection on the unit stage.]
[The rest of the unit stage was also made by collecting and making it by others, but it was made quite well, but it cannot be compared with this unit]
[Kang Jin-young’s strategy is all messed up hahahaahaha
[↳ This bastard is the real me]
[↳ It’s a unit, but it’s not a unit hahahaahaha
[No, this strategy works… … ?]
[↳ Wildcard dominates the match]
[↳ Jinyoung Kang didn’t know how to receive a song like this, so he froze for a moment hahahaahaha]
[But I thought this was a trauma-related song and heard it, so… … .]
And the reasoning of First Light fans, who had already been curious about two years after Jung Hae-won’s Ku Seon-ah, continued.
[Haewon said you haven’t contacted the kids in two years. And I didn’t go to school, I wasn’t even a trainee]
[↳Yeah… … . I keep thinking about this too
[↳ Maybe everyone thought this… … .]
[↳I think it’s right in the circumstances]
[Haewon, I guess he was just in his room. For two years after the end of Kokseon-ah]
[↳Ha, Mr. X will turn… … .]
