kpop idol - me

PT 98) Being at the bottom .

Its humbling, to think you are at the worst moments.

Only for it to get worse.

There is something so raw about being so vulnerable and destroyed that changes your perspective.

It is almost like learning how to breathe again.

And yet, we never know to do from there.

Some people might, but normally we don't.

and that's okay. 

it is okay.

It will be okay.

I can't believe these rehearsals aren't over yet. how many times do I have to go through this with them, I just want go to sleep.

Me: can you move to the left a bit more cause we can't see him for that bit...yeah yeah, like that, one more time.

They are having a comeback soon and I am making the choreo for them

there were 20 different people all working and in the room with us.

I could feel my phone buzzing and looked at it, oh taehyung?

that's weird we haven't spoken in a while. 

I ignored it.

then he called again.

this isn't normal.

I picked it up

me: hey, im in dance rehearsals with Enhyphen for their comeback teaching them choreo, so could you  - 

taehyung: there will be photos .

me: what?

I turned to the person near the speakers and shouted " turn off the music"

taehyung: there will be photos. of us. in Paris...

me: I though you would only meet in indoor places, what's going on?

he explained the entire story to me and I slowly went quiet.

me: when are you next back?

taehyung: I think 6 days time?

me: I will get you an earlier flight for tomorrow morning and don't even think about saying no. 

Taehyung: But the Celine show - 

Me: You are in luck because they want to cancel it because of the protests and riots. it is not an option. there will be more guards and I will get people for online protection and security. we will get the lawyers onto the people who released the photos and videos. I will see you as soon as you land.

I hung up on him and ran upstairs, leaving everyone in the rehearsal room in complete confusion.

in the lift I texted their manager " tell them to keep practising whatever I taught them so far and for them to move onto their next schedules"

my and other staff members spent hours on this and preparing a response both in terms of a formal statement, online promotions, working with YG ent and so on.

Even then, once it was all done I stayed there until the next day, dealing with things online and people calling and the legal team and the PR team. I saw staff members go home to sleep and get changed, and then saw them come back again.
