“Minjo. what are you doing?”
When I sat in front of you and asked, Min Ji-ho, who was depressed from the aftereffects of the concert, said:
“… … Drugs are bad.”
“What?”
“I think it will feel like this after you do it.”
oh, it was crazy… … .
I barely swallowed the curse that almost came out.
“Just get up and shower.”
“brother.”
“yes.”
Min Ji-ho barely got up, sat down and took a deep breath and asked.
“It’s hard for me to be this depressed, but was hyung okay?”
“I don’t know. I do not remember.”
I’m not lying, I really don’t remember. I don’t even want to think. Surprisingly, last year felt like a very distant past.
I got Min Ji-ho up.
“Once we wash up, let’s have a late-night snack.”
“really? Would you like to eat together?”
“uh.”
After all, the words to eat Ae-ra’s late-night snack immediately bring life back. I said, pushing Min Ji-ho into the bathroom.
“Anyway, never do drugs, and even if there is a similar temptation… … .”
At those words, Hwang Sae-byeok, who was brushing teeth in a densely populated bathroom, spit out the water and said:
“You’re talking You are the most dangerous, man.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Looking at it mentally, looking at the situation. Even the composers touch it because they want the song to come out well.”
“People around me don’t.”
At my words, the members were indignant. Then he rushed over and said,
“That kind of thinking is the most dangerous!”
“You can’t trust the people around you, hyung.”
… … Do these new friends think I’m a far cry from having been in my room for two years?
All of a sudden, the members rushed in so much, so I answered with a bit of an awkward feeling.
“I’ll take care of it.”
At my words, Hwang Sae-byeok said with a look of an adolescent child.
“Don’t eat whatever someone gives you, and don’t follow people you don’t know.”
“… … Are you kidding me?”
“Which part is a joke? tell me, fix it That’s why it’s so important.”
“I’m not doing that. Are you okay?”
Min Ji-ho, who started removing makeup while I was talking, said.
“Haewon hyung, but I want to eat drug gimbap because I’m talking about drugs.”
No, this is some kind of stream of consciousness. But I’m suddenly craving it too.
“I don’t think it’s for sale now. I’ll find out how to make the sauce.”
The Stork Wall will make it for you. Hi-Hi.
I first found a way to make drug gimbap sauce with my cell phone. Then I took my eyes off the phone and looked up, but the doubts in the eyes looking at me did not disappear. Rather than being unpleasant, it gradually becomes alarming.
If I had to pick the person with the highest probability of falling into drug addiction among the seven first lights, to be honest, it would be me.
After I realized that, I told the members.
“If any of us sucks, let’s cut off our fingers.”
Then Shin Ji-woon answered.
“With a finger with a team ring.”
“okay! I’m not going to do it anyway, walk, walk.”
Min Ji-ho nodded, and Han Hyo-seok pointed it out.
“But, since idols can’t cut someone else’s finger, they cut it themselves.”
Everyone agreed to that. Like I said, they’re very extreme. accept this… … .
Joo-won Ahn took a blank piece of paper and wrote ‘drugs = fingers’ uselessly and nicely. Park Seon-jae said next to him.
“Hyung, put your fingers, parentheses, and a plus team ring.”
“yes.”
So, a poster with the words ‘drugs = finger (+ team ring)’ was stuck on the wall. Now I can’t film at the dorm.

Perhaps the concert was intense, and all the members lost an average of 4-5 kg over the two days. And most of them recovered from the late-night snack they ate that night. I ate enough to recover.
I was shocked at how much the members ate, so I captured the menu I ate that day on my cell phone. The most shocking thing is that the same restaurant has delivered it three times. I ordered it one more time saying it was a bit disappointing to eat, but I ordered it one more time because it was a bit disappointing. The third time, the boss did not believe it at all and called again to see if it was the right order.
From the next day, I was preparing for the awards ceremony and working on a demo to send to Big Blue Lee Jun-hee, so on the 26th. We finished KQS’s year-end song program, which is the last awards ceremony schedule this year. Perhaps it was exciting that The Rising was a hit this year, so the program was mainly composed of The Rising.
And the next night, an entertainment shoot was scheduled on the KQS YouTube channel. It is a room escape-type program in which celebrities take turns appearing, and it was said that today’s filming will be uploaded as a New Year’s special. KQS pays close attention to the winning team of ‘The Rising’.
There are certainly many advantages to having a favorable broadcaster. Especially if you are thinking of running an entertainment company, it is better to maintain a more favorable relationship with broadcasting stations. Even if I have no choice but to work with VMC, I want to build good relationships with other broadcasting stations as much as possible.
Park Seon-jae said while moving to the filming site.
“I started filming late today, so if I do well, it will be Haewon’s birthday on set. We work on every member’s birthday this year.”
Then the Stork Dawn said.
“I think it will be the same for you and Ahn Joo-won’s birthday next year.”
“I like working on my birthday.”
I’m not bad either. On my birthday last year, I left the room after a long time and went to Park Jong-ryeol’s entertainment. I remember learning this and that from Manager Kwak who pulled me out of the room.
At that time, it was painful to say that I was definitely giving up my desire to become an idol like this, but at the same time, I felt a little sweet relief.
When I arrived at the filming site, it was a two-story house surrounded by trees and a large yard. Arriving at night, it was quite chilly.
whoever sees
“Today’s filming is really scary… … .”
Park Seon-jae clings to my arm and mutters, Ahn Joo-won looked around the members and said,
“By the way, there’s no one, so it’s very plain.”
Today, Shin Ji-woon was scheduled to be a little late because he was pre-recording a year-end concert held by his former agency, where he is currently working as an individual. All of my singing activities were done out of favor with TRV and Hani.
We agreed with that and headed to the filming set.
* * *
Shin Ji-woon came out after pre-shooting the pair stage in the practice room of Tike Entertainment, which is in charge of his former agency and individual activities.
When I came out, as expected, an employee of the actor management team was waiting.
“Jiwoon-ah, let’s read the script once.”
“Ah, I’m on stage not to listen to that.”
“What’s wrong with just reading? And what, did you pick me up for reading? I only got the script, so I have to go back to the audition.”
“If you read it, watch the audition.”
Since each member has a previous agency, Shin Ji-woon could have expected that the rest of the members would also be suffering like this.
Even if First Light did well, it was just an idol team that worked well for other companies to the former agencies that made money from their personal activities. If the team did well, only the time to build a personal career that the company was pushing for decreased. Everyone was grinding their teeth waiting for the day the contract period was over.
Park Seon-jae and Hwang Sae-byeok were also continuously receiving musical training, while Han Hyo-seok and Shin Ji-woon were receiving acting training. Even Joo Won Ahn, who started with TRV, was preparing for acting at the company. Now, when I was young, the roles I could take on were limited, but when I reached my mid-twenties, I would naturally fall into an actor’s life, and each company was almost certain.
Shin Ji-woon sighed and said.
“Hyung, as an idol, I’m only going to look at my stomach.”
“Yeah, you go as an idol and only look at Top. So when are you going to work with us?”
“I will do it later.”
“If you answer like that, I will break from above.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Shin Ji-woon had a lot of doubts about whether the other members were rejecting him like this.
Fortunately, on the way, I ran into Lee Hee-se, the MC of The Rising. Lee Hee-se had also arrived for a solo stage.
We were in the same agency, but because we were so senior, we ended up just saying hello even if we met at the company.
“Oh, Jiwoon.”
“Sister, are you practicing now?”
“yes.”
Lee Hee-se was also active as an actress and rarely a singer now. Hee-se Lee said.
“First Light is going well, so why don’t you keep calling me at work?”
“… … Tyke is a bit like that.”
“I mean that.”
Tike Entertainment, a famous idol group, had a particularly strong image of ‘artists belonging to Tike’. In the case of Shin Ji-woon, it was a case that did not exist at the company, so it seemed that he was not yet able to adapt.
Hee-se Lee said as she left the room because she was busy.
“You will suffer a little.”
It was a warning that sounded like a joke. When First Light was formed, the relationship with the former agencies was maintained, so a complicated situation was inevitable.
Right after the concert was over, each member’s individual schedule was pouring in. Except for Jung Hae-won, who is busy in the studio. However, it was clear that personal schedules would probably start to come in in the meantime. because it’s half The fact that the individual members had extremely good abilities was also a factor of discord.
Now, the remaining contract period as First Light was about a year and a half.
I want to go with these members whether I live or die, but I wasn’t sure if the other members would feel the same way. I’ve seen a team break up so easily once, so I wonder what’s harder the second time around. Even if their will is very strong, after a year and a half, the members’ agencies will come and fight.
The agency wasn’t the only problem. VMC will also push ahead with the reunion of ‘Boys’, starting with BMMU.

One day, I wanted to talk openly, but there were still stories that were strangely reluctant to each other. Typically, Jung Hae-won hid the fact that he was holding a half-year contract from the members until the news broke.
When Jung Hae-won first joined, I felt like a team had been completed, but the feeling of betrayal when I realized that it was a contract that ended in half a year was indescribable. Jung Hae-won’s own mentality is so unstable that he couldn’t get angry and just passed on it.
He seems to have completely forgotten, but seeing him collapse due to hyperventilation, it was difficult to accuse Jung Hae-won of feeling betrayed. The other members are probably the same.
Trust, once lost, does not come back easily. For that reason, Shin Ji-woon was waiting only at 12:00 on January 1st anyway.
As soon as I became an adult, I was thinking of borrowing the power of alcohol to talk honestly.
* * *
“Should I block Shin Ji-woon?”
Since I was talking seriously, Joo-won Ahn, who was looking at the phone next to me, answered.
“Look at me. You hate being alone.”
The group chat room was noisy because of Shin Ji-woon.
[Shin Ji-woon: Don’t shoot without me first]
[Shin Ji-woon: Everyone lie down]
[Anzu: Then the staff will have to wait too]
[Shin Ji-woon: Oh, then I’m sorry to the staff, so we’ll take care of the filming, so tell them to leave work first]
[Shin Ji-woon: Do not proceed with anything because you are whining that you do not know]
[Shin Jiwoon: Please]
[Oh, it’s noisy, so come quickly.]
I sent it like that, so Shin Ji-woon sent a message.
[Shin Ji-woon: And let’s drink a lot as soon as January 1st]

On that day, we all got together and decided to have a drink to celebrate the two of us in 05. Ju-won Ahn and Ji-woon Shin are the buds of Joo-dang just by looking at them. It won’t be easy after January 1st.
[Shin Ji-woon: And let’s have an honest conversation about the direction First Light will go]
[Minjo: Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
[Stork: Let’s do it]
[Hyoshik: I like it]
[Maknae♥: Me too!]
Everyone reacted incredibly quickly. Did you have a lot to say about the direction First Light is going? As usual, talking like that… … ?
I thought and turned my head back to the script. Today’s MC role, so I received the script and was in the process of learning it. It seems that I was given the role of the MC because I am not afraid of any of the members. Ah, I’m a little nervous about the atmosphere of the set, but… … .
As I was thinking and checking the script, I got a call from the TRV management team.
“… … Five. Fashion magazine pictorial.”
This is my first pictorial and my first personal schedule.
