omonatheydid{2} Youngjae “Junior high student Youngjae, he begins to have a new dream”
[..] Youngjae’s dream of becoming a professional gamer when he was younger drastically changed when he went on a school trip in his second year of junior high.
“In my second year of junior high, our class went on a trip and I had the opportunity to stand on stage for the talent show. Then, I sang a song from SG Wannabe with my friends and our peers cheered for us lots. In hearing the claps from my peers, I felt really good. It made me think, “The stage is a nice place” (Laughs). Although we placed third, the cries for an encore were only for me.”
Maybe it was because he couldn’t forget the exhilaration he felt from the stage, but he lost the excitement he felt for playing games soon afterwards and poured his focus into studying music in having a dream of becoming a singer instead,
“After the talent show from our class trip, I couldn’t play games and my dreams of becoming a pro-gamer changed. Instead, I requested to my mother to send me to a music academy that emphasized in practical music in my third year of junior high, however I couldn’t enroll right away as my mother said if I focused on my studies, then she’d send me (laughs).”
Since then, Youngjae decided to become a book worm and studied late into the night during the time for exams and with the sole passion for music that drove his studies, Youngjae eventually averaged higher than 80 for all his exams, especially math where he beat a lot of the studious people in his class in receiving a 100. Eventually, his mother approved of him attending a music academy but he tried his best to not have his mother help out too much financially.
“At first, I would save up my allowance and use it to pay for the expenses of my academy and at the time, it was about 100,000won (roughly $85.97 USD) and I didn’t use a single cent uselessly. But it wasn’t really music studies, but more so receiving lessons and it’s true that I did lose a bit of focus.”
However, it was in his first year of high school that Youngjae began changing in earning support from those around him as he began truly enjoying music.
