I briefly described the leaker, and Big Blue Lee Jun-hee nodded her head a few times before entering the recording booth.
I heard that Big Blue members usually record euphemisms.
It is rare for idol members to record euphemisms, and even rarer for a team where all members can do it.
The vocals of all the members were good enough to be rare, and they were indispensable in acting, entertainment, commercials, and musicals.
They are also top idols, but there are ‘brothers’ who are top in each field, so no matter how much VMC they are, they can’t be rude to Big Blue. With five members, that’s about it, if there were one or ten, it would have been almost like an organization.
“Hyung, I’ll turn on the guide and go.”
“yes.”
Although they are ten years apart, Lee Jun-hee did not let go of the words that we should work together. It must have seemed that I would not be able to direct comfortably because the age difference was so great. If you ask our members or the INO members I directed at The Rising, they would say no… … .
The guide for this song was my vocal teacher, Jang Seok-hoon. On top of Jang Seok-hoon’s clean voice, Lee Jun-hee’s warm voice was covered.
As an actor, the level of delivery is different. Next, I immediately turned off the guide, and when my neck was in good condition, I cut the individual part I needed to record first, recorded it first, and finally recorded the euphemism. I was so moved that I was covering my face with my hands, so Junhee Lee came out of the booth and was worried.
“Are you sick?”
“no… … Brother, this song.”
“yes.”
“The song is also my taste, and I really like it because hyung does the vocals.”
Lee Jun-hee burst into laughter, wondering if my words were outrageous, or whether it was funny that the little boy was satisfied with himself.
The first recording went very smoothly. Working with a pro was definitely a different level of learning.

After recording, I slept for a while in the car and headed to the filming set.
And it took a really long time to set up hair and makeup. It usually takes a long time, but the time it takes to set up a photo shoot was different.
After setting up and before putting on the costumes, I went into the studio to say hello, but the unfamiliar environment did not relieve my expression of tension.
I was ignorantly afraid to think that if I ruined it, it would not end with me taking a ruined pictorial, but also ruining the brand pictorial I was working with.
Why are you taking pictures of me in the first place? What if my image ruins my brand image?
After thinking negatively like that, I finally opened the status window.
[Currently, there are 2 roulettes that can be used at the same time]
[Confirmation]
[Red Roulette of (Hit Song Maker)]
[Select a roulette to register (Choose 1)]
[(Daily) Silver Roulette]
[(Super Idol)’s Purple Roulette]
Idols will continue to take pictures. I was wondering if I could get some help. Last time, I got help from cognitive dissonance in appearance.
And first of all, I like purple. Of course, since it’s a cool tone, silver suits you well, but what I like is different… … .
… … It seems that confidence in appearance has risen. Seeing you think like this
[Choose the purple roulette of (Super Idol)]
[(Super Idol)’s Purple Roulette]
[Cognitive dissonance of appearance has been corrected]
[New Event]
[‘First photo shoot’ has been registered]
[A gift that can be used in (Super Idol’s Purple Roulette) has arrived by registering a new schedule!]
[Purple Roulette Class B Ticket X1]
Five?
“Please be photogenic.”
I prayed and played purple roulette.
After a while, the roulette wheel stopped, and a light purple potion came into his hand.
[Compatibility with certain brands increases]
Good… … ?
This pictorial was one of the projects of di miliardi, an Italian jewelry brand that sponsored me during the last VMC Music Awards Matthew stage. The key to today’s pictorial was that the brand’s props fit well.
While I was at least relieved, two of Di Milardi’s employees walked towards me. Unlike the magazine staff who applaud them for doing well, the two of them had a firm expression on their faces. I guess it was because I had to deal with jewelry.
And the younger of the two staff helped put on the jewelry. The only jewelry I’ve copied so far is the team ring, but considering the price I checked at that time, I thought the price of the rings in my hand would be enormous.
I’m a little embarrassed, but I asked the staff quietly.
“How much is the ring?”
Then the staff answered quietly.
“Most of the rings are around twenty or thirty million won.”
I thought that the ring wouldn’t come off my hand, and that I could somehow solve it if I had an accident, but the staff showed me the boutonnier and said,
“This is the current exchange rate… … About 1.4 million.”
“… … But why does the pin look so weak? What if I fall? If I eat sesame seeds, do I have to buy them?”
“It’s probably better not to wake up.”
Whoops, my heart is pounding. I’ll have to sit still.
Anyway, the shooting proceeded with four rings and a boutonnier in the shape of the brand logo. Since the ring had to be visible, most of the poses consisted of cuts that tucked the chin or swept the hair. I had to see the jewelry well, so my clothes were dark, and I dyed my hair a lot darker than my original hair color.
I didn’t know how to feel when I saw only the poses sent by the magazine, so I looked up jewelry pictorials of male celebrities every day. Fortunately, it was worthwhile, so I went to look at the photos after filming, and the cinematographer said:
“I thought it would take a long time because it was my first pictorial, but it’s really good.”
“Really? Please give me a good pose.”
“Is this the pose you’ve been looking for a lot?”
“I was afraid of the first pictorial, so I looked for it.”
“Wow.”
The cinematographer looked at me curiously and said,
“Haewon, you can ignore this because it sounds like a kkondae… … I took countless celebrity photoshoots.”
“yes.”
“There is no other celebrity in the industry who has a higher affinity than a sincere person.”
As I paused, the cinematographer continued.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Ignore it, ignore it.”
“no. thank you.”
I guess I was noticing the staff during filming. In fact, composer Heo Hae-jun, who I worked with on The Rising last time, also said that when we were working together, he couldn’t fully concentrate on the work and said hello whenever people passed by.
It seems that the pros care ignorantly.
But fortunately, composer Heo Hae-jun and now the director of photography also tell me that, rather than nagging me, I am still sincere. I thought they were grateful adults.
At that time, Joo-won Ahn and Seon-jae Park arrived at the filming site. It was my first pictorial, so I came to cheer, and it really came. Joo Won Ahn said.
“I’m struggling.”
“I’m busy, what are you doing?”
Park Seon-jae laughed at my words and said.
“Are you going to be upset if you don’t come?”
“Don’t be upset.”
They both giggled and laughed at my words.
Since all the members are shy, it has become natural for other members to go and support each other when we are promoting individually. I didn’t know it when I went, but the members come, so I’m more reassured than I thought.
In addition, it seemed to interfere with the filming, so I bought plenty of coffee and snacks. I also bought a few sweet coffees, but most of them took an Americano. After all, caffeine seems to be just a potion for office workers.
We just gave them coffee, and both of them were busy, so they left immediately and filming continued.

Chae-eun Kang, an employee of Di Milardi Korea, looked at the team leader who was with him.
At the promotion meeting, I was wondering if you remember that I said that I recommended Jung Hae-won of First Light. Of course, Kang Chae-eun was a fan of First Light, especially Jung Hae-won. I couldn’t bear to see the public opinion getting worse during Guk Seon-ah, so I didn’t even watch the second half of Guk Seon-ah, and I forgot about it after Jung Hae-won went into hiding.
However, it is also true that Jung Hae-won had a sense of debt as it became almost a fact that Jung Hae-won had been living in a hikikomori for two years.
But still, virtue is virtue, and work is work, but I wondered if she would have taken the Choi Ae who did not suit her and put her together.
I tried to satisfy self-interest at work, and I made recommendations from all sides, and the results are now available.
Soon the manager opened his mouth.
“It suits you well. We have eyes to see. Is not it?”
no! I judged well, I! I have eyes to see!
“So.”
It’s unfortunate, but there was nothing to gain from dying here.
Kang Chae-eun looked at Jung Hae-won, who was filming again.
Apparently, the poses I could hold were limited as it was more of a jewelry painting. For the first pictorial, I thought it would be difficult, but fortunately, Jung Hae-won came to the set after seeing a lot of pictorials. Recalling the insincere reflection of Guk Seon-ah once again, I thought that the only thing I could trust on TV or the Internet was the weather.
Working in the jewelry industry, Chae-eun Kang came to think that jewelry is not what people choose, but what people choose. The team leader, who has been working in the jewelry industry for 20 years, has always said that finding the right person for jewelry is much more difficult than finding the right jewelry for the person.
And now Jung Hae-won was just the image this brand was looking for. He had a cool impression and was wearing silver-rimmed glasses, so he looked intelligent to some extent.
The atmosphere on set was also better than any studio shoot that Kang Chae-eun had ever been to.
“He’s a complete di Milardi man.”
“Too… … Wow, really.”
The response was so sincere, Jung Hae-won, unable to bear the embarrassment along the way, fell down on the table.
“Oh, it’s not like that.”
“Why not?”
“It’s really pretty.”
“The best picture of the year!”
“What are you talking about, this is the first pictorial this year… … .”
When Jung Hae-won cried, the editor and the filming staff all laughed as if they were watching their grandchildren. Kang Chae-eun did her best not to laugh along. Anyway, we have to continue to promote together in the future, but I thought it would be uncomfortable if we found out that we were fans, so I thought I would press the virtues.
After a while, when the second wear was put on, the jewelry was also changed. The tie necklace on the black neck pole is fine jewelry, so I was particularly nervous while watching the filming, but the necklace returned and ran to me, put my phone down on the floor and fixed the necklace. At that time, a text message came to the cell phone that was placed on the floor, and the screen turned on, showing a concert photo of Jung Hae-won, who had silver hair in the background. Since it was a photo posted on X-Bus membership only, it was nothing more than proof of being a fan.
‘Huh, X feet.’
Jung Hae-won looked at the screen and asked with wide-eyed eyes as he got up with his phone in a hurry.
“Is it the sun?”
“uh… … yes.”
“But why didn’t you tell me?”
Jung Hae-won was shocked as if a close friend had pretended not to know, but he quickly hardened his expression as if he remembered the concept. Still, even if anyone saw whether it was good to have a fan, the tension was relieved and I continued shooting the rest of the pictorial.
‘No, I didn’t know the fans would like it so much… … .’
After that, the facial expressions and poses became much more natural, and I thought that Kang Chae-eun would have said it was the sunshine earlier.
* * *
Filming ended happily. I was embarrassed because they took care of me almost like a grandchild, but it’s because I’m also lacking in affection… … I like it a lot… … .
In addition, there were employees who were sunshine, so I worked more comfortably. I don’t have a very good image for some reason, but when I asked why the brand contacted me, I think it was because there was Sunshine. dog is good Hi-Hi.
Anyway, physically, it was so hard that I got into the car as soon as I got in the car. Manager Kang Young-ho looked back at the sandwich I had pushed and said.
“Oh, that’s the first meal. Eat quickly.”
“I think I’m going to vomit if I eat something because it’s so hard.”
“Are you calling Haewon’s parents?”
“… … no.”
I sneakily pulled the sandwich. Then came the call that made me feel queasy.
It was Lee Yong-min, an employee of TYT’s music content division, who gave me a subtly warning about spreading the bad news of VMC in the past.
“Oh, why again?”
What have I been up to lately?
I picked up the phone and looked back.
