KangYoon put strength into his hands. He wanted to give her a strong confidence boost. In the ‘future’, KangYoon ‘knew’ she became a great singer, so he could say it confidently. Words with evidence have strength.
“… Ahjussi.”
“Yes?”
“It hurts.”
“Oh, sorry.”
Finally, KangYoon let go of her shoulders. At KangYoon, who was coughing since he was embarrassed by his actions, Jung MinAh spoke:
“Thanks, then and now… for believing in me…”
“I spoke what I felt. It’s an unbiased evaluation.”
“Hahaha. It feels good when you say that, you know? If I become big, then I will make you the #1 fan.”
“Yeah, yeah. Please become big. Okay?”
KangYoon tapped her back and ran to get on the bus that could be seen far away. Jung MinAh stood up to say something, but KangYoon had already ran fairly far.
‘Tch. I wanted to speak a bit more… Anyway… He’s cool, that ahjussi.’
Until that wide back disappeared, Jung MinAh couldn’t take her eyes off the direction that KangYoon disappeared to.

JooAh’s album production process was smooth. After the song selection ended, the writing of the lyrics progressed really fast. They already requested lyricists who wanted to write them, and there were a lot of cases where the composers involved themselves in writing the lyrics too, so there wasn’t a big problem. It was just that, they were taking this album to Japan, so they had to consider the culture, the tradition, and even the pronunciation. So KangYoon had to check again and again.
‘Will this be received well by the Japanese public?’
In his manager days, he frequented Japan, so he could speak Japanese fluently. Thanks to that, he could read Japanese lyrics quite easily. In KangYoon’s point of view, the lyrics of JooAh’s songs weren’t difficult. Rather than going for lyrics which would attract extreme hate and extreme love, going for easy lyrics was better. He continuously checked the lyrics and gave it a pass if there was nothing strange after consulting with JooAh.
After the checking process ended like that, recording day came. With Producer Oh JiWan as the head, all the aces of MG Entertainment had gathered to put their efforts into this album.
JooAh also poured in effort with the recordings in Japanese, using her Japanese skills she studied until now.
‘Hmm…’
A delicate white light shined from JooAh, who was putting all her effort into singing inside the booth. The delicate light filled the entire studio, and the majority of the people inside the studio seemed satisfied.
“JooAh, can we start again from this part? Ai— this part.”
