“How did the celebrities inside our televisions become a star?”
With the outlooks on the entertainment industry rising one step higher, we as the public aren’t just curious about their glamorous images, but their back stories before they became celebrities as well. We have prepared the column “star story” in our publishing which not only tells a truthful side to stars, but their past that brought them to where they are today. This episode’s protagonist is B.A.P’s Daehyun, who has stepped forth into the music industry with his strong charisma as he’s in charge of “innocence” in the group.
And in putting aside his memories of Kwangju, Daehyun moved to Busan. However, he had a hard time adjusting to his school life in Kyungsang-do due to the rough speaking of his friends from the new area. “At the time, there were rumors that if you used Jeonra-do saturi, you’d get hit and I entered my first day of school with a strong impression by dying my hair also. Seeing the Busan kids talk, I was a bit scared (laughs). At first, I had worries of if I’d fit in but after time passing by, my inner jokester side came out and I spent a fun time with my peers.”
And Daehyun who moved onto middle school began having dreams of becoming a singer. Despite how turbulent that period of time seemed, he claimed that his passion for singing and becoming a singer filled his heart wholly. “I never sensed any difference in transitioning to middle school and adjusting to a new school life since most of my elementary school friends moved onto the same middle school as I did and when I entered middle school, I really feared nothing. Despite going to academies to focus on my studies, I also liked hanging out with my friends and playing around. I went to a karaoke for the first time in my second year of middle school and it was a fun place for me to enjoy since I liked singing (laughs).”
The karaoke place that he crossed during his puberty days helped his dreams of becoming a singer. He garnered attention before at a young age for his outstanding singing skills and he found the place to be charming where he can showcase his singing as well. “I heard a few compliments saying that I was good at singing since I was in elementary school. I used to just admire singers perform inside my television when I was in elementary school but when I moved onto middle school, I think all I did was go to karaoke places. When I was bored, I’d just sit alone and sing (laughs). It wasn’t just karaoke places. I went to various places like parks or fields, wherever I could sing, I’d sing my heart out. And in my third year of middle school came puberty and I couldn’t sing for a while. Despite being at a young age, I did bottle my sufferings alone.”
Daehyun, who put singing as his everything, began worrying of his future during his third year of middle school and that was because of his parents. “I suddenly began fearing if I was able to slack off this much in my third year of middle school and if this was a right thing to do when my parents were working hard. Even my peers around me were studying hard and in seeing that, I began growing nervous.”
