Let’s go, jazz LOL
-Loa Video Donation Yeo?
Yeah, LOL
-Seriously, how dare you do that without asking?
LOL for real!
[Has Loa done this before??]
I just wanted to open the donation this time, LOL
-Our gay group really needs to get their act together, LOL
-Fact) You really just came to do the donation out of boredom
LOL, I think she realized it seemed a bit off and opened the donation, LOL
[Just hurry up and enjoy the broadcast, LOL]
Today is my first and last donation, so LOL
-For real, LOL
-After tasting the bitter pill today, I’m not planning on opening it again, LOL
[This crap keeps coming up]
These nerds need to stop sending their anime stuff
-For real, LOL
-Everyone finds it fun except you~
-LOL
-There’s really not much to send
-For real, LOL
[Loa reacting playfully in the Celestial Realm]
(Loa broadcast clip)
She really hates it, LOL, just look at her crazy expression!
-LOL
-The tech is good, LOL
-You can see her frowning
[Loa is kind of cute though;;]
(Compilation of Loa’s red pill moments)
Watching Loa’s broadcast with this window open makes everything forgivable, LOL
-Mirror fans all agree, right?;;
-Why does she have a picture of Kim Soo-hyun up?
[Look at Loa’s daze LOL]
(Loa closing her eyes)
She really came to mess around, huh
-Oh, just a little nap, LOL
-I am so sleepy
For real, all the people sending video donations are dead inside, LOL
[Loa’s assassination reaction]
(Loa broadcast clip)
She really jumps with a start, LOL
-She jumps up, LOL
-This idiot is feeling the fall so well…
-For real, she notices everything sharply, LOL
-The moment she immediately stays neutral in political views shows Loa is smart, LOL
Of course she has to stay neutral, what would she say, that she’s supporting a party or something?
-Definitely Anna would do that, LOL
-Yeah, Anna really would…
-For real?
-She probably did, LOL
[In the meantime, what’s with Loa’s signature authentication??]
(Café post capture)
Jeong-hoon is really trolling, huh?
-What?
Loa met a composer because of that previous Song Meeting, LOL
-For real??
-Yeah, there’s a signature authentication and feedback confirmed!
-Is that Loa’s signature? It’s pretty normal
-There’s probably no reason to sign, LOL, she just wrote her name down
-Damn, so that’s her first signature then?
-No, no, there’s someone else who got the first one.
-What??
-There’s mention that the celestial realm’s song composer is having it written!
-So jealous…
[This content is a bit much..]
(Post content capture)
They say the lyricist is a woman and hugged her, like what’s going on here…
-???
-Damn, Jeong-hoon didn’t hug her too??
-No, he said he couldn’t because he was a guy.
-Ah, LOL, great Loa
-She knows exactly what the viewer’s heart is like, LOL
-This girl is just this girl, yeah..
-I wish Loa would hug me too
-Huh?
-What the hell
[The fact that he drew the line first is hilarious, LOL]
Jeong-hoon was really startled, LOL
-For real, LOL
-He was probably secretly hoping for it, LOL
-I saw Loa in person, how could I not have expectations? LOL
-For real
[Was Loa originally a nerd?]
Loa’s confident during the donation quiz show, LOL
-???
-Ah, a generation that doesn’t know this has come, LOL
-That’s the cutoff for new viewers, LOL
-What??
-She was famous!
-She was rising precisely because of that, LOL
-It’s probably because of her voice, LOL
[Loa got them all wrong?? LOL]
Now who are the new viewers??
-Seriously, LOL
-These guys’ questions are absolute trash
-For real, who can answer that?
-Loa has a major taste, LOL
-Yeah, LOL
[At this point, let’s revisit Loa’s pick comic]
(Loa broadcast early stage clip)
Slam Dunk, Bleach, Dragon Ball, LOL
-HAHAHAHA
-Does this idiot really know comics??
-Seriously? Isn’t Slam Dunk a classic?
-This nerd is dismissing Dragon Ball, LOL
[But she still gets it right, LOL]
What’s up with her suddenly guessing 90s comics?
-She must’ve watched them during her time at the comic room, LOL
-Those are fun, LOL
-What’s even with those comics? Isn’t it all just swordsmen?
-Don’t you know Bichun Swordsmanship?
-For real.. A new generation that doesn’t know this has arrived!
-But it really is a classic, LOL
-Look at these idiots’ comments; the stench of ignorance is still lingering here, LOL
-For real, probably Anna’s age group
-You idiot, don’t even mention Anna!
-LOL
-That’s Anna’s gang, LOL
**
At a café in Seoul.
It’s been a while since the members have all gathered together.
“Am I the last one?”
“Yep, Soo-hyun is late.”
“But I came five minutes early!”
After our dance lesson ended, we don’t regularly get together anymore, so we meet like this every so often.
“Soo-hyun still wears sunglasses everywhere?”
“I usually don’t, but only today.”
Now, he usually doesn’t wear them to be recognized, but today he has them on because it’s a meeting with the members.
He especially brought them today to avoid any accidental red pill exposure shots.
“What about a hat?”
“Yep.”
It seemed a little extra, but after Hyeon-su’s concert last time, his face got a bit more recognizable.
People sometimes notice him now.
“Isn’t the weather a bit milder now?”
“Really? But it’s still a bit hot during the day.”
These days, the weather has been easing up, but it still gets a bit warm in the daytime.
But thinking about how summer’s ending makes me feel like time is flying by.
It feels like time is passing by faster with all that’s been going on.
“By the way about this time….”
“Oh right, that….”
Everyone’s gathered, but nothing special is going on.
We’re just sitting down, enjoying some sweet desserts and chatting.
“Sis, is that game fun?”
“The one we played yesterday?”
“Yeah, I think it would be good to broadcast it.”
With everyone busy with just broadcasting, most of our topics revolve around broadcasting.
And, well, there’s also quite a bit of gossip that can’t be said on the broadcast.
At this point, we wouldn’t hold back on anything, sharing what we can and can’t say.
“How about Soo-hyun’s search for a composer these days?”
While chatting, everyone’s attention focused on me, who’s been creating a buzz about looking for a composer lately.
Um…
Thinking back, it’s been a reasonable amount of time since I chose someone.
My only realization so far is…
“The people I picked are satisfied…”
“Satisfied?”
“They’re just too few. I need more, but it feels daunting.”
I’m not hoping for anything grand, just finding a few more people would be nice, but that’s not easy.
This is an important matter, so I can’t just pick anyone, and it makes me cautious.
I’ve been posting recruitment ads on the fan café, but… I still don’t know.
Although it’s different from the initial plans, maybe I should try to pick out two tracks first and see how it goes.
Since the work is progressing smoothly anyway.
“Don’t you have outside help? Aren’t there three?”
“Oh yeah, that’s true.”
“One track should be easy to whip up then?”
“Oh, about that….”
Now that I think about it, the members probably don’t know my grand plan.
“That’s….”
Since we’re all together today, I gave a reasonable explanation about my thoughts.
There’s no need to mention anything about the concert yet, just that I plan to create multiple tracks.
“Can you really make that many at once?”
“Yes, but I’ll announce them gradually.”
I’ll set some time between them, but it won’t be a long time.
I’m thinking of releasing them tightly in a short period.
Well, considering how hard it is to find people, I’m not sure if it will even work out.
“…Is there really that few people? You’ve been searching for a long time.”
At that moment, Loa, who had been quietly listening, subtly asked me.
“Right, I think I might be too picky. I can’t seem to find anyone who gives off the right vibe.”
“Really?”
But upon hearing that there’s no one suitable, Loa’s expression brightened a bit.
“…So that’s the case.”
“Why?”
“That fact….”
Fact?
Does she have something to say?
Since Loa usually doesn’t hesitate, I flicked my ear toward her, and she cautiously spoke.
“Um… Actually, I know how to compose music…”
“You?”
I looked puzzled; she seemed bashful.
“When I was in a band, a little…?”
Loa composes too? It’s surprising, but…
“That’s not just a little.”
This is business, not a broadcast content.
Just putting someone in the team because they’re a colleague would be a nuisance to others, right?
“W-What?”
I cut her off decisively, and Loa made a pouty face.
…That expression makes it feel a bit disconnected.
It reminds me of when Maho was doing aegyo during a video donation.
“…Actually, it’s not just a little, want to hear it?”
However, it seemed my blunt response made Loa more determined, and she slyly pushed her phone towards me.
“What’s this?”
“It’s my original song.”
“Oh….“
On her phone was a video of Loa holding a guitar.
“Did you compose and sing that yourself?”
“Yeah, I sing too.”
“Really?”
That’s pretty cool!
A person playing their original song on guitar and singing is a real artist.
“What, is it an original song?”
“I want to hear it too.”
Suddenly, I drew the attention of the other members, and Loa started playing her song in a corner of the café.
Thank goodness it’s a weekday afternoon, so the second floor is empty.
[Ding- Ding-]
[Hmm-]
The song begins with a dull guitar sound and Loa’s soft humming.
…Her voice is nice.
Though she sounds a bit younger than three years ago, her voice is still clean and clear.
But am I tone-deaf?
Why does the song sound better than I expected?
Maybe it’s because I had low expectations?
A quick look around shows everyone seems impressed, so maybe it’s not just me who’s tone-deaf.
Besides, for a song like this…
I’m a bit conflicted.
The song is good…
The emotions feel really nice.
With only the guitar, the vibe is even stronger.
Like a street singer-songwriter feel.
Hmm…
But I still feel a bit lacking.
It’s good, but… it feels ambiguous to release such quality as an official track?
“Hold on.”
As I paused to think, Loa seemed like she had something to say and leaned in towards me.
“What?”
“This was filmed when I was 20.”
Twenty? That’s quite young, right?
Isn’t that about Hyeon-su’s age now?
“Really?”
Curious about what she meant, Loa pointed to herself.
“Imagine how amazing 23-year-old Loa would be, right?”
“What….”
So she’s saying that because the 20-year-old Loa was good, the 23-year-old Loa must be even better?
What kind of logic is that…
“…Is that so?”
Thinking about it, she might be right.
Now that I’ve been a Virtual YouTuber and have sung a lot…
Loa’s also good at K-pop songs, right?
That implies she has a wide musical spectrum.
“And I’m willing to learn more…!!!”
Seeing her determined expression made me nod along.
“Okay.”
If she’s prepared for that, I get it.
“Is it, is it done?”
“Then please bring your portfolio for the interview.”
“Sure….”
But still, I have to do the interview.
