IU POV

Laotong (Mandarin)

(n) a friendship bonding two girls together for eternity as kindred sisters.

Example: Lee Ji Eun and Yoo In Na 

 

 

Okay, the example is very subjective but, nonetheless, true. After me and Inna unni travelling experience to Europe several months ago I feel like our BFF bond is getting stronger. We have successfully check all the list of how-to-not-break-your-friendship-while-travelling-together. We travel, we explore, we talk, we sing, we drank, we ate, we dance, we found each other, I found myself, unni find herself, and finally prove that travel, indeed, is a way to find all the lost souls that wander through life and all its business and bull-ness.

 

Especially in the middle of 50 days trapped in EDM Factory. Yes, Infinity Challenge Music Festival. Not that I’m complaining, I got the partner that I have chosen from beginning. Park Myung Soo-ssaem has the voice, the groove, the experience in stage, and, most of all addiction to EDM. I should’ve seen it coming but yeah I used to think it would be better to challenge this disposition as the program name is Infinity Challenge. That turns out to be incorrect on some few level but, …

 

… at least it ends well. It tops the chart(s) exclamation point (!) Thanks to my always awesome song writing partner, the best I could ever ask for a EDM DJ Jae Hwan, Inna unni for all the talks and sweet European escape and …

… GD err Ji Yong sunbaenim err Ji Yong oppa (?).

 

Okay, I know it would be awkward now if I blurted out that “GD-sunbaenim” in here, YG, when I met him after we appeared together on national variety show for several episodes and do collaboration and did I mention I called him tons of time for advice?

 

How and why I ended up here in YG, you asked?

 

Yoo In Na UNNI is not the world’s most childish person, and she is definitely not an incapable person to drive around alone when she doesn’t have jam packed schedule, basically she is not the type to ask people especially best friend who is socially awkward introverted turtle like me to pick her up after her STAGE project meeting knowing that:

I am the weirdest (I know him by voice basis, everyone see through me when I blurted out that one of the duo who sang Yukgaksu's song at Infinity Challenge Mask Singer is Taeyang) and biggest Taeyang fan girl ever who suddenly freeze every time I see him and also suddenly avoided him in public after he and Min Hyo Rin sunbaenim date openly. (They are awesome couple and NO I AM NOT IN A SLIGHTEST WAY JEALOUS AT ALL!!!!!!) GD err Ji Yong sunbaenim err Ji Yong oppa (?) called me from Haneda airport out of nowhere yesterday asking whether I could meet him because he “wants to relay his gratitude to Ji Eun-i for working hard to pull of Park Bom’s part perfectly in I Cheated”, so I was like, “What do you mean, sunbae? I called and PM-ed you countless time and often in a slightly non-appropriate hours just to ask about how to face Park Myung Soo-ssaem’s disagreement and how to deliver several seconds of rap part in Leon. You are also one of few people who stood up for me when Park Myung Soo-ssaem insisted on inserting EDM part in Leon. It is only fair if I at least try my hardest to sing that part where Park Bom-ssi’s voice shines the brightest. No, I am still in debt with you, sunbae and I am the one who needs to relay my gratitude first. Apology for my thoughtlessness.” And then he laughed and said “Aigoo Ji Eun-i, I thought you are awkward. I guess there is no more ice between us after countless conversation about exact same topic, right? Call me o
