The first start as a singer for Ha Eun was the featuring in Daulby’s 10th album.
Until the album was released, she was more worried than excited.
“Luckily, it wasn’t a dark history.”
In the end, she felt relieved to confirm that the long years of learning to sing from Daulby weren’t in vain.
However, despite having performed on several stages as a singer, such as the live final of “SIT ON THE MONEY” with Hwang Ji-hyuk and the “Infinite Challenge Music Show” concert at Gocheok Sky Dome with Yoon Si-hyeok.
“I’ve never sung ‘Tunnel’ even once.”
“Aren’t you going to perform with the older guys?”
Ha Eun had never stood on stage for Daulby’s 10th album, which could be considered her debut song.
Strictly speaking, they were also scheduled to perform songs other than those from the 10th album.
However, Lee Jun and Lee Geon-yeol thought that if they practiced for a few days, she could easily handle the parts originally intended for other female singers.
“University festivals are super fun.”
“They sell a lot of food too, right?”
As the two tried to persuade Ha Eun to go to the university festival.
“Oh, right. If you come, you can also perform ‘On a Spring Day’ and ‘Not at All’.”
Lee Jun suggested that it would be nice to perform the two songs featuring Daulby that were included in Ha Eun’s first album.
Unlike many of Daulby’s hit songs, the tracks on Ha Eun’s album were songs that didn’t require much practice for her.
Thus, the weight of her hesitation shifted from rejection to acceptance, and Ha Eun opened her mouth to ask a few questions that she was personally curious about.
For example, how many hours the performance lasts.
Or.
“Where are we going?”
Where exactly they would be going to which university.
There was a pure curiosity behind Ha Eun’s questions, but the most decisive reason was that a regular school life, which was on her bucket list, included attending university.
“There are a lot of places that have requested us. But we can’t go to all of them, so we need to narrow it down to about five.”
“Y University and H University have good facilities and response, so we plan to go to these two universities first.”
Immediately after, the list of universities that had contacted Daulby was shared with Ha Eun.
So Ha Eun said that since this was happening, she wanted to prioritize visiting the schools she was aiming for.
“This is also a kind of university exploration.”
Ha Eun’s appearance at this university festival was an unexpected opportunity for her to explore places like universities, which were hard to find time for.
Consequently, after accepting Daulby’s university festival proposal, Ha Eun began to watch various festival videos to get a sense of the atmosphere.
Time passed.
The final decision on Daulby and Ha Eun’s university festival schedule was made to avoid conflicting with Ha Eun’s filming schedule for “The Veterans.”
– Lee Ha-eun is on the Y University festival lineup?
ㄴ For real?
ㄴ No, why is this happening;
– Breaking news) Ha Eun is performing with Daulby
– Pinocchio festival lineup.jpg
– Lee Ha-eun posted a teaser video on Instagram ㄱㄱ
ㄴ She’s already practicing ㄷㄷ
ㄴ They say she’s also performing her own album along with Daulby’s, is that right?
ㄴ Why are you asking me?
With the news of Ha Eun and Daulby appearing together at several university festivals, online communities began to stir slightly.
It made sense, as celebrity performances were the highlight of university festivals.
It’s already well-known that the most meaningful use of tuition fees is often the celebrity performances at university festivals.
In other words, depending on which performances take place, tuition can either feel like a waste or be worth every penny.
Crucially, this is the first time Daulby’s 10th album, which had previously recorded high ratings, would perform with Ha Eun to create a complete set.
– Is outside entry allowed at Y University festival?
– Are outsiders allowed at K University? I’m seriously asking because I don’t know;
– If I can’t go, I’m going to cry.
– The concert video will probably be released, right??
People’s interest in the university festivals where Ha Eun would appear began to soar.
Both Daulby and Ha Eun had already proven their live performance skills as singers, which was the most decisive factor.
And so, discussions about the joint performance of Daulby and Ha Eun spread across various communities and social media, but Ha Eun herself was more focused on the atmosphere of the university rather than the festival performance itself.
This was the reason why during her usual communication broadcast, she sought out university students, calling them “No-eul.”
“I am currently a university student, hands up!”
– Legs
– No-eul’s new identity investigation ㄷㄷ
– Is Chicken University a university?
– I am currently enrolled in Harvard, proof available ㅇㅇ
– Are graduate students considered university students too?
“No, I’m just asking because I want to know. Seriously, only real university students raise their hands~!”
– They don’t even consider graduate students as university students, wowㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Why are you asking me this?
– I’m a History major at H University.
– I’m in the Engineering Department at S University, hands up hands up hands up.
– Why are No-eul’s average vibes like this?
– Suddenly feeling a distance.
As she observed the chatroom where various university names began to appear, Ha Eun kidnapped one of the No-euls, who was attending a school that she was scheduled to visit as a guest celebrity at the festival, into a one-on-one chat room.
And almost simultaneously, she operated the streaming program to bring No-eul’s SD avatar into Diah’s arms.
The nickname of the abducted No-eul appeared above Diah’s SD avatar shortly thereafter.
[qwerasf129] – Oh my god
[qwerasf129] – Please hug me.
‘…Are you really a university student?’
Having made eye contact for a moment with the No-eul’s SD avatar, which was using speech patterns that didn’t particularly feel like a university student.
– At least a 20-year-old is hugging a 1-year-old like a baby;;
– This is definitely going to cause a debate.
– Why is she hugging Diah when she’s so far away???
– Who is that guy, my dear!!!!
– I’m going to turn black, I’m going to turn black, I’m going to turn black, I’m going to turn black, I’m going to turn black, I’m going to turn black.
– Now they’re cheating openly ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Finding the jealousy and envy of other No-euls towards the No-eul nestled in Diah’s arms in the chatroom, she hastily opened her mouth.
Next came the question of what was the most delicious food at the university festival.
“People say all sorts of things. What do you think is the most delicious food?”
[qwerasf129] – Um
[qwerasf129] – Personally, at last year’s festival, I really liked the toast.
[qwerasf129] – The quality was amazing.
[qwerasf129] – Especially the version with bacon topping and added smoke sauce was just delicious ㅇㅇ
“Bacon and, smoke added….”
After asking about the main attractions of the university, Ha Eun intended to release the No-eul from Diah’s embrace back to freedom.
However, together with Diah’s question of whether they were coming to the festival, No-eul’s personal info was typed into the chatroom.
[qwerasf129] – Are you coming to our school?
[qwerasf129] – The student council president is my older brother, so if you have more questions, feel free to ask (Message deleted)
“Specific personal info is prohibited! Be careful!”
[qwerasf129] – Sorry
[qwerasf129] – But are you really coming to our school?
“Yeah. I looked it up, and it says outsiders can come to watch.”
While warning No-eul, she also mentioned that Diah planned to go see the festival too.
Of course, she didn’t disclose details such as the date and time of the visit.
As far as Ha Eun knew, the university festival of the No-eul she had just chatted with would last a total of three days.
And crucially, since it was such a massive festival attended by not only students but also many outsiders.
Meeting Diah in the midst of that crowd would truly be a miracle.
‘Well, there wouldn’t be any chance to make such a voice anyway.’
Thus, instead of worrying about Diah’s identity being exposed, they heatedly discussed in the chatroom about what to taste at the university festival.
However, as a result.
Half of the plans they made together with the No-euls were not kept.
The reason was.
– Murmurs.
– Whispering.
‘…It seems like people are only gathering around me.’
On the day of the joint performance with Daulby and Ha Eun.
To be more precise, it was because people began to recognize Ha Eun as she arrived a few hours before the rehearsal to look around.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that all eyes around her were focused on Ha Eun.
By the time she was supposed to be hidden by a baseball cap and sunglasses, both were utterly ineffective.
It was a relief that there were no accidents of people falling or getting hurt from crowding around Ha Eun, but somehow.
“Um… just one cup of spicy rice cake, please.”
“Sure, four!!”
Even until she ordered that small cup of spicy rice cake, she couldn’t really savor its spicy taste due to the attention pouring in on her.
The people operating the food booth and the onlookers were not taking their eyes or phone cameras off Ha Eun.
And so, she ultimately had no choice but to give up on enjoying the festival.
While it was nice to have people interested in her, with someone staring fixedly at her, she felt as if she would choke even while eating delicious food.
She couldn’t help but check if the spicy rice cake sauce had splattered on her lips or clothes.
Not long after, Ha Eun returned to Daulby, who was in the midst of rehearsal preparation.
At this point, she decided to practice the songs they were going to perform just a few more times.
“Oh? Weren’t you watching the festival?”
“Why are you back so early?”
“…People were crowding too much.”
“Oh….”
“Geez.”
