[NEWS] 260831 - Yerin exclusive interview with iMBC after her solo fan concert Part 1
“I chose ‘Polaris’ as the opening song. I’m quite playful by nature so I wanted to make a surprise entrance with the feeling of ‘You didn’t think I was going to appear right now, did you?’. But when everyone gave me such enthusiastic cheers, almost as if they’d known I was coming, I found myself wondering ‘Did I actually fool them?’ or ‘Did I not fool them?’. It was a really fun and enjoyable experience.”
When asked how she felt about her first fan concert, she replied “I think a fan concert is somewhere between a fanmeeting and a concert. Because I felt that I needed to prepare something more substantial than a fanmeeting, it wasn’t easy to figure everything out in my head. I put the performance together while thinking about what I should include, what I should leave out and more importantly, what would make WOORIN enjoy it even more.”
The part Yerin put the most effort into while preparing for this stage was making sure she didn’t make any mistakes. Since she was now filling the stage alone, a stage that had previously been filled by five people, she practiced over and over again so that there wouldn’t be any noticeable sense of emptiness. “When I performed on stage together with the others, I didn’t have too many worries. Even if I made a mistake or something went wrong, the other members would make up for it. But I couldn’t do that this time. If I made a mistake, it would be obvious so I tried to be completely prepared from the rehearsal stage onward. To minimise the possibility of anything going wrong, I communicated in detail with the staff and dancers about everything, from the smallest things to the biggest.”
Even with such thorough preparation, it is inevitable to feel some disappointment afterward. Yerin admitted, “Whenever I finish a performance, the first things that come to mind are always the parts I did wrong or the moments when I made a mistake. Like during the ‘Orbit’ performance, I was supposed to finish it looking cool and perfectly but I briefly stumbled. And with the ‘Lemon Tang’ cover dance, I should have finished it in one attempt but it took three tries. Those are the kinds of moments I keep thinking about.”
However, when asked if there was anything she wanted to praise herself for, Yerin answered, “The fact that I came to the concert venue itself.” She continued, “Honestly, I was really scared on the way to getting on stage. Because I wanted to do well so badly and had such high expectations for myself, I even had thoughts of being scared and wanting to avoid it. But in the end I came, didn’t I? I’m proud of myself for thinking, ‘I ended up coming after all. I didn’t run away just because I was scared.’ I think I’ll probably go home and collapse after pouring everything I had into this.” She finished with a proud, satisfied smile.
