“The stage arrangement concept I came up with is oriental.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

The team members who heard me were shocked at first… .

“… It’s difficult, but it’s worth doing.”

“It’s definitely a concept with a strong demand base, but strangely, no team has tried it so far.”

… He quickly nodded and responded positively.

As Seo Yu-jin just said, oriental style was a concept with a strong demand base.

It was even refreshing as it was a concept that no other team had attempted so far.

But that wasn’t the only reason why I came up with the concept of oriental style.

The Demon King in ‘The Hero and the Demon King: A Story of Light and Corruption’.

And my trait is Heavenly Demon.

The Demon King and the Heavenly Demon differ only in cultural differences between the East and the West, but don’t their images actually overlap?

Every time I saw my characteristic, Heavenly Demon, I thought it would be great to embody it on stage, and perhaps by coincidence or fate, a song with the theme of the Demon King came out.

There was no way I would miss this opportunity.

Additionally, the Heavenly Demon was a truly attractive topic.

“An oriental devil and an oriental hero… , It’s a pretty interesting setting, isn’t it?”

“The martial arts that my dad used to watch in the old days? It seems similar to something like that. Sounds fun!”

Like our team’s reaction right now, most women don’t know much about martial arts.

It can be a refreshing shock to women, and it can give men the pleasure that comes from familiarity.

“Then, can we confirm that the concept for this stage will be oriental?”

“Agree!”

So our team’s concept for this stage was decided to be oriental.

But that was then.

Sigh.

As the atmosphere was ending like this, I was shocked to see someone suddenly raise their hand… .

“Hey… .”

“… Hyejeong unnie?”

Hyejeong Lee was raising her hand with an expression that she had something to say.

‘Are you really against it?’

Just imagining that Lee Hye-jeong, who had always been my strong ally, disagreed with my opinion made me feel a little hurt.

So, I looked at Lee Hye-jeong with bewildered eyes and asked… .

“Perhaps… , the opposite… , are you doing it?”

“Oh, no! Yerin! That’s not it… !”

Hyejeong Lee responded by urgently waving her hand.

“That… , I like the oriental style, but there are concerns that the stage may become loose… .”

“Then again, I am against it… .”

“Not the opposite… .”

Lee Hye-jeong paused for a moment while trying to continue, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke with a determined expression.

“How about mixing oriental style with rock?”

“… Yes?”

My team members, including me, tilted our heads at the unfamiliar words that came out of Lee Hye-jeong’s mouth.

That’s right… .

‘Rock with oriental style?’

Isn’t there something that doesn’t quite fit together?

As the team members each had a question mark on their face, Lee Hye-jeong smiled and began to explain.

“Of course, the two don’t look good together at all. But it might give it a more dramatic feel. Now look at this.”

Meanwhile, what Hyejeong Lee showed through her tablet PC was a video of a joint performance between a singer and a rapper.

Pansori and rap… , even though they were genres that didn’t seem to fit at all at first glance… .

‘… It’s a good stage.’

Perhaps due to the combination of two very different genres, the stark unbalance was actually balanced and pleasing to the listening ear.

“This song is a song with a clear boundary between the hero side and the devil side. So, as Yerin said, the warrior side creates a sad and noble atmosphere with an oriental concept… .”

“… … .”

“Then, it switches to rock as if it were an explosion from the Demon King’s side, giving it a twisted feel.”

At Lee Hye-jeong’s words, I closed my eyes for a moment and fell into contemplation.

Certainly, Heavenly Demon must give a strong feeling.

However, it may have been difficult to clearly achieve that feeling with just a calm oriental concept.

‘Replace this with rock…’ , it makes sense.’

And as Lee Hye-jeong said, the oriental concept had the disadvantage of making the stage loose, but if rock is introduced, that problem will also disappear.

After quickly finishing my worries, I opened my eyes again and spoke first.

“It would be good… , I guess?”

“… … .”

“It’s definitely the final stage, so it would be good to show an impactful performance to the fans… , I think introducing locking will solve that problem.”

“Hmm… .”

When Lee Hye-jeong and I also agreed, the other team members watched and raised their hands one by one.

“Then me too.”

“I definitely think it will be okay.”

“If that’s the case, how about mixing electronic rock instead? I think it would be more effective than just rocking.”

“Oh, that’s good.”

“Then I’ll start arranging it right away!”

So, our team’s final stage concept was decided to be oriental and electronic rock.

**

As Hyejeong Lee said, the introduction of rock was effective in giving a twist.

As soon as I appeared with strong rock, the previously calm atmosphere changed.

So, I stepped forward, acting with a facial expression of heavenly magic illusion… .

-Don’t try to hide, embrace it.

-This is your instinct

“Waaa-!!!”

“Ha Ye-rin-!!!!!!!”

“Crazy-!!!!!!!”

“Kyaaa-!!!!”

The audience literally roared as if screaming.

I smiled at the sight and walked further forward.

Soon my solo dance break begins.

and… .

[I am casting the 2nd skill of the Heavenly Demon God’s Skill, Heavenly Demon’s Moon Revelation!]

Without any delay, I immediately unfolded the Heavenly Demon Wolyeongbo (天魔月影步).

Hwaaa-!

“Wow… … .”

At first, people who only saw my appearance and appearance cheered, but now they are filled with admiration when they see my dance.

It feels like I am floating in the air with the moonlight wrapped around my body.

As I glance down, I notice elegant gestures and dance moves that don’t seem to be mine.

This is how I see it, but how unrealistic it must seem to other people.

The audience looked at me as if they were possessed by something.

And I could clearly feel the emotions of the audience.

Admiration, admiration, joy, excitement and… .

love.

I felt this with my whole body and remembered what Han Si-woo said.

‘This performance will remain an unforgettable experience for you all your life.’

As Han Si-woo said, I will never forget this scene.

Nodding my head at that fact, I realized once again that being an idol was my calling.

If I could feel this feeling again… , I wanted to be an idol my whole life.

-Come a little closer.

-I am not the abyss, but the ideal you wish for

-What you desperately desire

The empty heart is filled with the cheers of the audience… , the dance becomes richer.

-This is not corruption.

-It’s a process of finding your true self.

The moonlight that surrounds me… , the feelings… , the aura… , something unknown… .

I erase the other members and leave only me on stage.

The love of the audience is only for me.

Was it me, not the audience, who was captivated by something?

At this moment, I forgot everything and trusted my instincts.

Soon, my body felt relaxed and my mind felt like it was floating… .

My consciousness became clouded.

**

It was a trance.

The source of Hayerin’s magic is… .

Resentment for a lonely and lonely past life.

and

A fierce longing for love.

When this began to be met, she forgot about herself and took the stage to herself, monopolizing the audience’s cheers and attention.

-Don’t refuse.

-accept me

Haye-rin’s husky voice combined with rough rock captures the audience’s ears, and Haye-rin’s movements and dance moves combined with the Heavenly Demon God and her overwhelming appearance and atmosphere catch the eye.

It was then.

Tiring-.

A familiar sound effect rings out… , A new status window appeared without Ha Ye-rin, who was in a trance, even noticing it.

[It is together with the left protection law and the friendly law. Synergy is activated!]

[Heavenly Demon God skills are combined with your costume concept. Synergy is activated!]

[You are in a state of no-self!]

[You have temporarily met several conditions!]

[Locked characteristics are temporarily unlocked!]

which… .

[You can use the Heavenly Demon God’s undisclosed skill!]

It was a black status window that Yerin Ha had never seen before in her life.

[The state of selflessness has been confirmed! Skills are used automatically!]

[I am casting the undisclosed skill Heavenly Demon Lord’s Limbo!]

Ha Ye-rin’s final breaking event unfolds with Heavenly Demon Lord’s Limbo.

It was a difficult part full of movements mixed with all kinds of techniques and a vocal range that was difficult for Haye-rin’s singing ability, but… , nothing was difficult.

In the final highlight of Ha Ye-rin’s ‘Self’ performance, she gave the sweetest ecstasy and overwhelming feeling to the fans of ‘Self’.

thud.

-Look at me.

Capturing attention with just one movement.

thud.

-Think only about me.

Next, take away your emotions.

thud.

– Respect me.

Finally, the soul is taken away.

“Wow… … .”

“… … … .”

“… … .”

Before we knew it, Ha Ye-rin had stolen everything from the audience… , she still yearned for more love, as if it wasn’t enough.

More, more, more.

love me more So much so that my whole body breaks.

In the process, the joy on Ha Ye-rin’s face becomes deeper… , the status window has become even blacker than now.

It was so pitch black that it seemed like it would completely dye her.

It was then.

-Wake up

It started with a pure white dot.

That pure white dot squeezed through a small gap in the stage that Ha Ye-rin had dyed black.

-Get over it and see.

-Your will.

It was Seo Yu-jin.

When her part begins, a calm oriental sound replaces the harsh rock of Ha Ye-rin’s part.

Seo Yu-jin caught Ha Ye-rin’s over-the-top pace with her sorrowful, clear high notes and stoic dance.

-Never-ending fight

-We didn’t lose.

Hyejeong Lee adds notes as if placing her hands on them.

With a good start for the two, the hero Side’s part continues.

The team members’ sharp choreography unfolds along with Lee Hye-jung’s appealing high notes that awaken the frozen audience as if they are possessed by something.

Accordingly, Haye-rin’s overwhelming performance and speed control were achieved… .

“Woo… , Wow-!!!!”

“Aaaa-!!!!”

“Waaa-!!!”

People who came to their senses soon responded and cheered for Team 1’s performance with louder cheers.

And only then.

[Temporarily unlocked attributes become locked again!]

[I came out of the state of selflessness!]

Ha Ye-rin was also able to come out of the trance.

**

Sreuk-, Sreuk.

Faaat.

‘… … ah.’

As I looked at my body as it automatically performed dance moves like a machine, from a third person’s perspective… , I was startled and came to my senses.

‘I’m crazy… ! No matter how drunk you are with the atmosphere, what should you do if you lose your mind and perform on stage? !’

Fortunately, judging by the audience’s reaction, it didn’t seem like a mistake was made.

I continued to move instinctively and traced rare memories.

‘As expected, I didn’t make a mistake. however… .’

Even though it was a solo part, I think I just tried to stand out and appear unique.

That shouldn’t have happened.

This is not just ‘my’ stage, it’s ‘our’ stage.

As I reflected on this and slightly furrowed the corners of my mouth, Seo Yu-jin, who moved to her seat and briefly encountered me, asked me while doing her part.

‘What’s wrong, sister? ‘What’s going on?’

While performing on stage, I was able to experience a truly amazing experience.

Being able to communicate without speaking to each other was one of the most amazing experiences.

I responded with a small smile to Seo Yu-jin’s worried look towards me.

‘are you okay. ‘I’m sorry for bothering you.’

‘no.’

After finishing the conversation with Seo Yu-jin, I can hear other people’s voices as well.

‘We’re doing great right now!’

‘Let’s finish well.’

It doesn’t make sense.

If it’s short like a week, it’s short, if it’s long, it’s long.

Apart from sleeping, we spend all our time together, harmonizing and practicing dancing… .

At this moment, our hearts are connected.

‘he… ,’

At this, I laughed to myself.

I am enjoying this experience right now.

also… , The stage is fun when you are in a team together, not alone.

-Light for you

– Corruption to you

Finally, our parts overlap and the members of the Hero side and I of the Heavenly Demon side reach out in preparation.

The sorrowful sound of oriental music and the powerful sound of rock meet, forming a dissonant and ironically harmonious harmony.

-Salvation for you

-Darkness to you

And the stage reaches its final climax.

The original song from G News, The Hero and the Demon King: The Story of Light and Corruption, ends with the hero defeating the Demon King.

But we changed it a little differently.

Faaat.

As soon as the choreography that felt like a fight between me and the other members was over, the stage went dark.

“… What!”

“… … Ah!”

The audience who were watching the stage with concentration showed different reactions and expressed embarrassment.

And not long after… .

Faaat.

The lights came back on and we showed up in the ending formation we had prepared in advance.

Sreuk-, Sreuk.

It’s me in pitch black, right in the center of the stage.

And the other pure white members wrapped around my arms, legs, torso, and neck as if sealing me in the six-mangseong position.

One of the most important things on stage is the ending.

Accordingly, we decided on the ending pose in a more structured and disciplined manner than ever before.

And did this work well? .

“Waaa-!!!!!”

“Kyaaa-!!!”

“Encore-!!!!!”

“Waaa-!!!”

“Ha Ye-rin-!!!!!!!”

“Seo Yu-jin-!!!!!!!!!!”

The audience’s cheers for us who finished all the performances were louder than ever.

“Ha… , ha… .”

I always feel out of breath like this after writing Cheonma Wolyeongbo (天魔月影步).

I faced 10,000 spectators who were breathing heavily and shouting at us.

It was then.

“Puuuu, sister.”

“… Huh?”

Suddenly, Seo Yu-jin called me and immediately smiled and pointed at something.

What she was pointing at was none other than my face.

“I think you really enjoyed this performance.”

“… Huh?”

I wondered what on earth that meant and touched my face as Seo Yu-jin pointed to.

and… .

‘ah… .’

In both my past life and my current life, I have never made one… .

I noticed that he was smiling brightly and with a flawless smile.

“Me too… , I liked this performance.”

“… … .”

I was dazed for a moment by Seo Yu-jin’s whisper, and then whispered into her ear.

“This performance wasn’t the only good one.”

“… Sister?”

“All stages were good. And you, Hyejeong, Yujeong, Hanna, and Seol… , Other participants’ sisters and younger siblings… .”

“… … .”

“The cheers and cheers of the audience, and the countless fans who are not here but see me on TV… , I just… , everything about Naaa was good. Except the production crew, of course.”

okay.

I liked everything about Naaa except the production crew.

And this… .

It was Naaa’s last stage.

“Waaa-!!!”

“Ha Ye-rin-!!!!!!”

I closed my eyes, enjoying the cheers of the audience with my whole body.

A deep lingering feeling came over me.

“Ha Ye-rin-!!!”

“Ha Yerin I love you-!!!!!”

Was I born again to feel this moment?

It felt like something in my body that had been empty all along was being filled.
