26th October 2020 (Monday)
Today is the final video call event of CIGNATURE "Listen & Speak" promotion activities,
and the video call event was set to start at 1:00 pm kst,
a very unusual timing comparing with previous events.
Since Jeewon asked me to play their song by piano,
so this time I was sitting in front of my keyboard while waiting for the video call.
Anyway,
Jeewon really gave me a very tough homework.
I am not the kind of genius who is able to find the right key after listening to any song,
so just for this short sentence from Arisong:
"Mori ga bingbing nunmulli pingping, sunkan ei selpem barami salrang~"
I spent 5 days just to find the right key to press...........
Well....
It is also a very good learning opportunity for me though~~~
This time my number should be quite behind,
after the event started for 1 hour,
I only received the video call~~~~
I press the "receive" button nervously,
and then Sunn who having a very cute hair style appeared on the screen.
No waiting time at all,
the video call straight away started~~~~
The connection wasn't stable at first,
I only able to hear Sunn saying:"An...nyeong...ha...sae....yo..."
The screen is freezed too.
Luckily the connection became stable very fast,
and I was able to see that Sunn is not wearing earphone.
“Earphone an kkio yo?”(You not wearing earphone?)
I asked.
Sunn showed me a sad face and said that the Mymusictaste staffs didn't allow them to use earphone.
Luckily I asked friends who joined video call by Mymusictaste before,
if not I will be very shocked and unprepared for it~~~
Alright then~
Just like what I planned,
since it is hard to have good communication if the other side is not using earphone,
so today I will just play the piano~
Thus,
I pressed a few keys and asked Sunn whether she can hear the piano sound.
“Igotdo chal terio yo~”(I can hear it clearly.)
Sunn nodded her head.
Then I started to play the very short part of Arisong with my keyboard,
and I changed it to Ballad version which is slower to avoid making mistake~~~
“Wanjeon chalterio yo~”(Very clear~)
Sunn then realized:"Chigo itneun go aeyo?"(You playing it now?)
I said yes,
Sunn clapped her hands and praised:"Wah~ Jinjja chalhanda~"(Wah~ You played very well~)
I asked Sunn whether she know which song I was playing.
"Dan dan dan dan~"
Sunn hymmed and replied:"Igo... kego Chaesol eonni go chingot anika?"
(This..... is it the one Chaesol eonni played last time?)
No~~~~~~~
Is Arisong~~~~~~~~~
Your own song~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I decided to play it again,
but this time with the original speed~
"Musen norae ji?"(What song though?)
Sunn still wasn't able to recognize her own song,
seems like my playing skill is just bad......................
"Sorry is about time to move on."
The staff said.
Sunn can only say good bye with me.
Well,
later that night I wrote letter to Sunn at fan cafe,
and told her that I played Arisong.
Anyway,
seems like my skill is just not good enough,
so I canceled my original plan,
and decided to just talk normally with the rest of the members~~~
The 2nd member was maknae Semi~~~
"Annyeonghasaeyo~ Wah ddo mannatnae yo~ wori~"
(Hi~ Wah we meet again~)
Semi happily greeted at me.
Since Semi explained the meaning of her name during Vlive few days ago,
so I wrote “具世美” on a paper and showed her.
"Maja yo!!"(That's right!!)
Semi was very surprised,
she didn't expect a foreigner will be able to write her name in Hanja,
but actually it is very easy for me since I learnt Chinese language LOL
Semi happily said:“Chaega chonae malhaetneun got... kedae ro~ wah daebak~”
(You wrote it just like what I mentioned~ Wah! Daebak~)
I said I only know how to write it after knowing the meaning of her name,
Goo=own, Se=world, Mi=beauty.
“Maja yo! Katchugo saesang ei aremdaum~”
(That's right! Owning all the beauty of the world~)
Semi said.
I told Semi that I mistaken her name for another meaning.
“Muolro yo?”(What you thought?)
Semi was curious.
“Saesang el kuhaneun minyo~~~”(The beauty who saved the world~~~~)
I said.
Since Goo is also "save" in Korean language.
“Oh my god~~~ Oh my god~~~ Ottotkae~~~ Nomu bukkerowo yo~~”
(Oh my god~~~ Oh my god~~~ How~~~~ I am so shy~~~)
Semi covered her face with both her hands,
her shy reaction was so epic LOL
“Najungae kegotdo saengkak haeya kaetda~ bumonim aegae malsem terilgae yo~”
(My name has one more meaning from now on~ I must tell my parents next time~)
Semi said.
Hmmmm.......
I was just joking.....
"Chohuei nommo kagaetsemnida~"
The staff telling to move.
Semi quickly waved good bye at me,
and said:"Taem ae ddo manna yo~"
(See you again next time~)
Since I made Semi happy,
so she left a sentence on my album:
Next was Ye Ah~~~
"Annyeonghasaeyo~"
Ye Ah said hi to me.
Since Ye Ah complaint at me for not writing letter to her during previous video call,
(for details please read previous chapter~)
so I immediately wrote a letter to her at fancafe after the video call,
and reminded her to help me think for a new fancafe nickname in the letter~
So Ye Ah said:“Ireum... chucheon haedalra haetchanna yo~ Kendae amuri saengkakhaedo, jigeum ei ireumi kuenchanneun kotkathae yo~ hehehe~”
(For the nickname.... you asked me to suggest a new one right~ But no matter how hard I think about it, I still think that your current nickname is good enough~ Hehehe~)
Ye Ah explained more:“Waenyamyeon kiyokhaki ga aju choa yo~”
(Because your current nickname is easy to remember~)
Well....
Few days ago I suddenly recalled the reason why I using that nickname,
and I became very reluctant to change it~~~
So I told Ye Ah that I don't really feel like changing it now~~~
“Moya! Bakkul saengkak obseo chan..............”
(What the... so now you don't feel like changing.........)
Ye Ah laughed.
I explained that my current nickname was created long time ago,
(Since GOOD DAY period),
so it is not just a nickname,
but also memories~~~
Ye Ah nodded her head and said:“Majayo~ Keraeso an bakkulgae to joeun gotkatha yo~ Wuri ei chuyeok~”
(You are right~ That's why is better not to change it~ It is the memories between us~)
That's all for this topic,
I changed to another topic.
I said that actually every time CIGNATURE ended a new song promotion,
I always feel a bit of anxiety~~~
(I scare they will be like GOOD DAY and disappear suddenly~)
“Naega kidarigae haekajigo.... ibonae do! Kidarigae haeso nado bulanhalgot algondae~ Naega ke bulan hangot obsae chulgae yo~”
(I made you waited for so long....this time too~ I know you will feel anxious~ But this time I will make your anxiety no more~)
Ye Ah stopped for a moment and continued:Jinjja yo~ Ibon ae kidarigae anhalgo ae yo~”
(This time I will not let you wait for very long~ Really~)
"Yaksok?"(Promise?)
I reached out my pinky finger towards the screen.
“Yaksok haltae nikka kokjonghajimasae yo~ Jinjja~”
(Since we made a promise, so please don't worry~)
Ye Ah also reached out her pinky finger and made a promise with me~
“Kokjeong hajimalgo kenyang kidari chuoyo~ Naega maennal chaja olgae yo~”
(Please don't worry and wait for us~ I will appear every day~)
Ye Ah said.
LOL impossible for Ye Ah to appear every day,
but she really understands my anxiety and worry~~~
Then the staff said the time is over.
I waved good bye at Ye Ah,
Ye Ah showed me a heart,
and said:"Gomawo yo~ Saranghae~~~"
After receiving the signed album,
I only realize that Ye Ah signed TO: my nickname~
The following member was Seline~
"Annyeonghasaeyo~"
Seline greeted at me.
I said today video call started at very weird timing,
Monday 1 pm ~~~
“Majayo~ Jigeum swi sae yo?”
(That's right~ are you on a break now?)
Seline asked.
I said yes and now is like still early,
not so used to doing video call at this kind of timing~
“Majayo~ Majayo~”
Seline agreed.
Then I jokingly said that usually at this time,
Seline still sleeping right~~~
“Aniyo~ Imi ironan sikani yo~ Hehe~”
(No~ I already wake up at this time~ Hehe~)
Seline denied.
I asked which member is the earliest to wake up~
“Sunn ni? Sunn ni anilga sippeo yo ~”
Seline said is Sunn~
“Seline neun yo?”
I asked.
“Cho yo?”(Me?)
Seline thought for a moment,
then said:“Cho neun junggan animyeon netgae~”
(I am the middle, or can say that I am one of the members who wake up late~)
“Achimae ironagi himteuro yo...........”
(It is just so hard to wake up at early morning..........)
Seline shook her head and showed me a very sad facial expression.
I laughed.
Well~~~~
We are just talking about hard to wake up at morning,
but Seline's sad facial expression.... it is like we are talking about something very serious and saddening ~~~
It was almost time,
Seline waved good bye at me,
and concluded:"Cho neun netgae ironalgoae yo~"
(I will continue to wake up late~)
LOL
Next was Jeewon~~~~
"Annyeonghasaeyo~"
Jeewon waved both her hands and showed me her signature smile~~~
Just now I lost confident because of Sunn,
but now seeing Jeewon and recalling that she asked for it,
so I braced myself and prepared to play the slow version of Arisong again~
No choice,
since Jeewon asked me to play it at video call last time~
(For details please read chapter1~)
I put my index finger front of my lips,
asking Jeewon not to make any sound by showing a keep quiet pose.
Then I started to play Arisong with my keyboard,
Jeewon stuck her right ear to the phone so that she can listen to it clearer.
"Ket~~~~"(Finished~~~)
I finished playing it.
“Wah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Jeewon happily clapped hands and asked:“Yonsep sikan olma antuei sioji anna yo?”
(You didn't have a lot of days to prepare though?)
Aiks..........
My skill is so bad that Jeewon knows that I didn't have enough time to practice.......
I said only one week~
“Nomu chalhaeyo~ Jinjja~”
(You played well~ Really~)
Jeewon showed me a thumb up.
She is such a kind-hearted girl~~~~
Now is the most anxious part,
I asked whether Jeewon knows which song I was playing.
"Musen norae jio?"(What song though?)
Jeewon smiled and said:"Chohuei norae gayo?"(Our song?)
Frankly speaking,
seeing Jeewon's evil smile,
I not sure whether is she really don't know I was playing Arisong,
or she just joking with me.....
I played it again and Jeewon followed the voice of piano and sang:"Nummuli~~~ bingbing~~~"
Alright,
she knows is Arisong,
my confident started to gain back after losing it to Sunn~~~
“Nomu chal chiiojutnuen dae yo~ chohuei wonkok poda joeungotgathae yo~”
(It is really good~ Sounded better than the original song~)
Jeewon continued to praise me.
Just like no matter what the idols did,
the fans always think that the idols is very cute and pretty,
seems like idols also see the fans the same way~
“Yaksok jikiochusiotnae yo~”
(You kept our promise~)
Jeewon happily said.
Oh~
Jeewon still remembers what we talked about last time,
I was so happy~~~
I replied that promise is to be kept~~~
“Kamsahamnida~~~~”
Jeewon said thank you to me,
and continued saying::“Kerigo chobon ae iyakirel hadaga mothaetnuen dae.... jeongmal chukaterio yo~”
(Also regarding what you told me at previously... congratulations to you~)
Jeewon rasied the topic from previous video call~~~
“Kerigo orae kidarioso mianhae yo~ 2nion kidarigae kemalhagi~”
(Also sorry for letting you to wait so long~ You waited 2 years to tell me this right~)
Jeewon said.
Basically I won the prize at year 2018,
at that time I can just write a letter to tell Jeewon about it at GOOD DAY fancafe,
but I wanted to tell her directly instead,
and then GOOD DAY disappeared,
I waited from year 2018 until now year 2020 only have the chance to tell her..............
Well...
I wrote letter to Jeewon telling her that I waited 2 years to tell her the news,
so now Jeewon again proved that she read my letter,
I am so happy~~~
“Oh! Bolso ketnalgoae yo~”
(Oh! It is almost time~)
Jeewon quickly showed me a heart and told me that she will alwasy read my letter at fancafe~~~
Then the screen moved.
I always feel like I still have so much things to tell Jeewon after the video call~~~
This time Jeewon also added a few words while signing:
Next was Chaesol~
"XX Oppa~ YY Oppa~ Annyeonghasaeyo~"
Chaesol first called my real name foloowed by my nickname,
and even added oppa~~~
Nice~~~
Since I already practice for Arisong and played it for Jeewon just now,
so I decided to play it to Chaesol too~
Like just now,
I put my index finger on my mouth to ask Chaesol to keep quiet,
then only I started playing piano.
Once I done playing,
Chaesol was touched and said:“Wah.... sorem~~~~ Jinjja..........Jjangida!”
(Wah... Goosebumps~~~~ Really.... the best!)
Then I quickly confirm with Chaesol what song I was playing~
“Arisong aniae yo? No ei hyangki tama pulro wa~~~”
Chaesol sang the part that I played,
seems like my piano skill is not as bad as I thought LOL
“Jonae poda wanjeon jjangida~”
(You improved a lot comparing with last time~)
Chaesol praised me.
Well...
It is like previously I get 1% during exam,
this time is 10%,
so even though the result is still terrible,
but at least got improvement~~~
I said since I scare I will be too nervous,
so I decided to play the slower version of Arisong~
“Ah jinjja? Gomawo yo~~~”
Chaesol kept on thanking me.
The time is almost over,
Chaesol quickly said:“Onel majimak fansign dae... katchi puaso piano do yeonjurel teriochusio so nomu gomawo yo~”
(Today is final fansign.... really thank you for not only joining, but also playing piano to me~)
“Gongka taetkel do puatso yo~ cho hantae pyeonji rel an ssochuotgoten yo! Hehehe~”
(I saw your comment at fancafe too~ but you didn't write letter to me right! Hehehe~)
Chaesol also complaint that I didn't write letter to her...
Then the staff said is time to move.
“Taem ae ddo manna yo~ Gomawo yo~ Saranghae yo~”
Chaesol said good bye to me and told me to meet again next time.
Then the screen started to move.
Chaesol this time also wrote my nickname and left a short message on my album:
I always feel touched by Chaesol~~~
The last member was Belle~
"Annyeonghasaeyo~"
Belle greeted me cutely~
I sadly say that today is the final fansign..........
"Keronikka yo~~~~"(That's right~~~)
Belle complaint with a cute voice.
Suddenly I feel like don't want to waste my 1 week of practising,
so I showed Belle a keep quiet pose,
and played the slow version of Arisong again~
"Wah~~~~ Jinjja chal chisinae yo~ Piano~"
(Wah~~~~ You really play it well~ Piano~)
Belle clapped her hands once I finished playing.
I asked whether Belle knows which song I was playing.
“Moriga bingbing~ Nunmuli pingping~ Sunkan ei selpem~ Igo matjio?”
Belle immediately sings the part I played just now.
The last 3 members were able to know which song I played,
only Sunn didn't know,
is it really my problem..............@_@
"Jinjja kamdongi yo~ nunmuli na yo~"
(I am so touched~ Tears ~)
Belle was touched.
I tried to change the atmosphere by saying:“Akga Sunn i mot aratero yo~”
(Just now Sunn didn't know.....)
“Jinjja yo? Ah~~~”
Belle turned her head and gave Sunn a stare.
It was almost time so Belle quickly said:“Sikani ta tuetdae yo~ Gongka pyeonji chal ilkgo Vapp ke daetkel do chalpogo itso yo~”
(It's almost time~ I saw your comments at Vlive and letter at fancafe~)
But I didn't write letter to you at fancafe though!?
Do you know my nickname?
Sadly that I didn't have time to double confirm with Belle...........
I only have time to say early Happy Birthday to her~
“Gomawo yo~ Annyeong~ Saranghae~ Annyeong~”
Belle waved good bye at me.
Then the staff ended the call.
Video call event finished~~~
CIGNATURE "Listen & Speak" promotion activities also came to an end,
even though I only join 3 video call fansigns,
but I already feel satisfied with it~
Hopefully at year 2021,
I could meet the members not by video call,
but directly meeting them~~~
Thanks for reading.
