You are a singer
There was one single teacher who was basically the age of my students and was also from Miss Korea.
One day, when I asked her why she wasn't getting married,
She responded back to me with an awkward expression.
She said that she was only interested in good looking guys.
I suddenly got into a joking mood and showed her the picture of Dongwoon I had saved on to my phone.
Then suddenly, a smile appeared on the teacher's face.
And then she started to beg me to introduce her to him.
After hearing that, I sneaked a laugh
This was because Dongwoon was only in 7th grade at the time and the picture I had on my phone was a picture of him I took when he was in 6th grade.
That is right.
Even at that time my son was the epitome of
Later, when the teacher looking like a student found out the truth behind my story, she made an embarrassed face.
Then she said that an oppa she knew was the president of a management and he was looking for the main character in a music video. She added that it would be a good experience for him to come out as at least as an extra.
Music video filming!
This coincidental offer had become the seedling that set his destiny to become a singer.
The management president, who looked at Dongwoon, suddenly asked, "Why are you trying to appear in a music video?"
And then he abruptly added, "Why don't you just try for the main role?"
Also, the management president asked Dongwoon what he wanted to be when he grew up.
Then, oh my, Dongwoon suddenly answers that he wants to be a singer and that he had been preparing a band for a long time?
Hearing that coming from him, I was really suprised.
Because until then, I thought of singers as part of a story from a different world.
I didn't even hear my own son sing before.
Will you guys believe me if I say that I had never been to the karaoke with my family or my friends in my entire life back then?
Thinking that it didn't even make sense, I came back home with Dongwoon.
And in the car, after tallking about different things, I told Dongwoon to sing a song.
Without hesistation, Dongwoon started to sing SG Wannabe's 'Timeless'.
I still remember thinking that Dongwoon sang giving it his all in his own way. ^^
But for me, who believed that only Jo Yongpil, Na Hoonah, and Song Changsik were the only singer to my ears, I thought that he didn't have the skills to become a singer.
Even when he made in the audition for Korea's one of the biggest managements, or when he made it as a main vocal in a group back in the days, or even when he debuted under the group name BEAST, my initial decision didn't change,
That is right.
For me, the definition of a singer was still Jo Yongpil, Na Hoonah, and Song Changsik.
So in other words, I didn't accept Dongwoon as a singer somewhere deep in my heart.
But you know.
I was surprised when I listened to BEAST's first official album and saw the comeback stage today.
This was because I felt it on my skin that Dongwoon's singing abilities improved so much. And of course his steadiness got much better.
Fans who watched BEAST's comeback stage commented about Dongwoon's improvement or praised him on his singing.
You guys are probably assuming this but~~~
I want to praise Dongwoon with the fan's praises on my back.
Even if you guys make fun of me for praising my son.
You guys understand right?
Son~
You are a singer.
You are a true singer.
Your father knows that you probably blamed yourself and pushed yourself harder through vocal lessons even after you debuted as a pro singer.
And I know that there are not many singers who still got vocal lessons after debuting as a singer.
How would I not understand your pain and suffering.
But your attitude is something to be praised about.
I hope that will never ever lose that type of mindset and attutide in the future.
Just adding this, but you won't be turning arrogant because you heard praises right?
Praises can even make a whale dance, but I am telling you this becuase it can also make someone sick and mess up their life.
Hoping that your father's praise will become your motivation to sing and dance harder, I also wish that it will never become the poison that ends up hurting you.
