was first presented by Han Si-woo and his younger brother Kim Tae-young from the same group while working as a unit.

This has already been released 6 years ago… , now a faded song that can be seen as a bit old, but at the time it hit the charts and enjoyed enormous popularity.

‘I worked really hard back then.’

Han Si-woo felt a strange sense of nostalgia when he saw Ha Ye-rin, who was in his position, and concentrated on his evaluation.

♬♬-! ♩♩♩♩-!!

hip hop dance. More precisely, in , which is an electronic pop song, the importance of dancing to an addictive melody was greater than the singing ability.

Of course, just because singing ability wasn’t important didn’t mean the song was easy.

no?

On the contrary, the difficulty level of was so high that trainees did not dare to overcome it.

As the proportion of singing ability was reduced… , because the detail of the choreography was at an unbelievable level.

Even professional dancers choose this song to show off their skills.

This song’s core is a lot of breaking and synchronized choreography that moves like one body… , Han Si-woo was very excited to see how Ha Ye-rin and Yoo Seol would digest it.

And as if responding to his expectations.

Okay.

‘Ho… .’

From the first verse, the two continued to move in perfect harmony, as if they had been on the same team for several years.

Also, understanding of the song.

The concept of is the story of the clash of conflicting desires that arise within the mind of a young boy, and the boy growing up as a result.

And Ha Ye-rin and Yoo Seol.

Two girls with conflicting images… , Sometimes it’s like fighting… , and at other times, they dug into each other’s empty space and filled in the choreography without any gaps, as if they were embracing each other.

When Yoo Seol makes a move, Ha Yerin blocks it.

When Ha Ye-rin makes a move, Yu Seol blocks the move.

Two people who would never mix were swayed back and forth and harmonized, and this created Taegeuk (太極).

From then on, I couldn’t take my eyes off the synergy I felt between the two people.

This was the ideal image Han Si-woo wanted to show to the public when he first wrote and composed this song.

And now it… , hasn’t even debuted yet… , even trainees who have been practicing this song for a day are performing it.

Of course, there were a few things that were disappointing.

‘ah… , I should have broken my wrist there… .’

First of all, details.

Perhaps because of the lack of practice time, the details of the two people’s choreography were quite disappointing to Han Si-woo.

Ssuk suk.

Han Si-woo kept his eyes on the two people’s stage and wrote a note with a pen on a post-it note prepared in advance.

It was to inform the two people of details that the original author found disappointing.

And the second disappointing part is… .

‘ah… , Ms. Yerin. The rebuttal there… .’

As expected, Ha Ye-rin’s injured ankle.

is a sensitive dance song where details are very important.

Even if you aren’t seriously injured… , Ha Ye-rin, who injured her ankle, which can be said to be the lifeblood of a dancer, could not perform this song 100%.

As a result, Han Si-woo couldn’t help but feel even more sorry for Ha Ye-rin’s injured ankle… .

‘Still, it’s great.’

Aside from these few disappointments, the two’s performance was great.

“With this… , I will conclude.”

After the two people’s performance, which was satisfying just to watch.

Han Si-woo gave his review with a smile, completely forgetting his previous thought of treating Ha Ye-rin coldly.

“It was such a great stage that it was a delight to the eyes just to look at. Even though there may have been insufficient practice time, the level of completion was excellent.”

“Thank you… !”

Ha Ye-rin and Yoo Seol’s faces straightened slightly at Han Si-woo’s praise.

Han Si-woo felt like praising the two even more… .

“But there were definitely some regrets.”

… If you truly want the two of you to grow, you should also tell them what needs to be improved here.

“In this song, details are more important than anything else. But there were quite a few mistakes in the details, so here you get this.”

“This is… .”

“I wrote down the points that could be improved in the details. Please refer to it.”

“… Ah.”

The small post-it note was filled with Han Si-woo’s scribbled handwriting.

While Ha Ye-rin and Yu Seol were huddled together and reading it, Han Si-woo quickly brought up something he regretted about whether or not to mention.

“And Miss Yerin.”

“Yes.”

“Perhaps due to an injured ankle, it was noticeable that the beat was slower or a little faster than usual.”

“… … .”

When Han Si-woo talked about her ankle, Ha Ye-rin lowered her head with a stern expression.

“It’s unfortunate that you injured your ankle… , In order to present a more complete performance, you need to start again by feeling the beat according to your injured ankle.”

“… … Yes.”

At Han Si-woo’s words, a deep feeling of regret as well as motivation appeared on Ha Ye-rin’s face.

The fact that I injured my ankle at a critical moment must have stimulated my youthful spirit.

Seeing that, Han Si-woo smiled slightly, but then spoke in a serious tone.

“Miss Yerin.”

“… … Yes.”

“Yerin is growing at the fastest rate among the trainees I’ve seen.”

“… … .”

“Even if she is lucky and stops for a while, Yerin has already achieved more than other trainees. and… , you will reach a higher place.”

This could have been something Han Si-woo said to himself in his younger days.

“So don’t be impatient. Yerin’s idol life hasn’t even started yet, but if she’s impatient, she could get tired later.”

“… … I will keep this in mind.”

lie.

Although Ha Ye-rin said she would keep this in mind, she still did not hide the disappointment on her face.

okay… , youth, and competitive spirit were not something that could be calmed down with just a few words from Nottang.

Getting up after a fall was solely up to that person.

and… , If you stand up again with your own strength… , you will grow into better skills.

Han Si-woo believed that Ha Ye-rin in front of him could do that.

So, I stopped acting like an old man under the guise of giving advice and just looked at her with a smile.

“Then, we will conclude the interim inspection with this. Thank you for your hard work.”

With Han Si-woo’s words, the mid-term inspection came to an end.

I don’t know what it will be like for Ha Ye-rin and Yoo Seol… , which will be remembered by Han Si-woo for a very long time… , It was such an interim inspection.

**

After the mid-term inspection was over and Yu Seol and I returned to the practice room.

“… … .”

I was lost in thought, recalling Han Si-woo’s words.

‘Perhaps because of my injured ankle, I noticed that the tempo was slower or a little faster than usual.’

… As expected, Han Si-woo pointed out that the injured ankle may have been the problem.

Actually, I felt it too.

Throbbing.

Even though the pain is no longer severe, the tingling sensation causes the body to move a little differently than usual.

In addition, due to the lack of practice, Han Si-woo seemed to have lost detail.

‘… shit.’

At this, I clenched my fists and swallowed my anger.

Still, compared to Yoo Seol, I am inferior in many ways in terms of skills and experience.

But to top it off with an ankle injury?

“… … Let’s start practicing quickly.”

In the end, all I had left was practice.

When I encouraged Yu Seol to practice quickly, Yu Seol twitched her eyebrows for a moment and asked.

“The ankle is… , it’s okay now… ?”

“You saw that we practiced without problems since this morning. I’m really fine now. So let’s get started quickly.”

“… Yes.”

Yu Seol was also disappointed in the completeness of the details, and when I answered that it was okay, Yu Seol immediately nodded.

So we started practicing right away.

♬♬-! ♩♩♩♩-!!

The elaborate choreography starts right away with a fast rap beat intro.

Paat, pat.

It was strange.

I don’t have a good relationship with Yu Seol, nor do I personally like her.

But for some reason, Yoo Seol was the one who got along best with me out of all the participants so far.

Okay.

Every time you swing your arm… , with each small gesture.

I can feel Yu Seol moving just like me.

Every time Yu Seol does something small… , the intention and what the next action will be are pictured in your head.

Yu’s theory suits me and I agree with Yu’s theory.

We continued practicing like that and became one.

And as time passed, we were in perfect harmony, just like the YW trainees I saw on Nubute the other day.

The more I resonated with Yu Seol, the more I felt my skills growing little by little.

fun.

It was fun to watch myself move forward and improve little by little.

‘It’s unfortunate that you injured your ankle… , In order to present a more complete performance, we need to start again by feeling the beat according to the injured ankle.’

I could understand what Han Si-woo said.

I learned a new rhythm with an ankle that felt foreign… , continued with powerful movements.

So, I felt that the movement was performed a little more smoothly than before.

‘Just like this…’ , if you do this, you can do better in the contest… !’

That was when I was thinking that way.

Throbbing, throbbing.

“… … !”

I wonder if someone is punishing me… As soon as I thought I was feeling a little better, my ankle started hurting again.
