Yunho's Story ( as told by a friend)

I had a friend from middle school whose dream was to be a singer. He never stoped saying that ho would become a singer. He said it so often, that sometimes it become an annyance.
But so one day, he suddenly announced he was going to try out at a singing audition. He told me he was too nervous to go by himself, and that he wanted me to come along with him.Understanding his worries, i decided to go along with him. A few days later, he suddenly took me to a corner and whispered: Hey... I got accepted in the audition ! hehehe...

It never crossed my mind that he would get accepted, but he had easly gotten accepted.
It was our grade 9 winter break, at the time.
For him, the pain was only just beganning.

Ever since that young age, he went from Gwangju to Seoul, once week to get trainning. (Very long drive to get to Seoul from Gwangju)
It kept going on for 2-3 years.
I had followed him a few times, and i could't believe how hard the training was.
But he never gave up, and put effort into everything he did.
He practiced his vocals in the middle of a crowded park, he practiced his dancing in the middle of the city bus.
He never stopped.
He would often phone and sing to me, asking: How is it ? How does it sound?

Then one day, he called _sigh-
He started to cry.. telling me how hard and painful it was.
He who always had a smile on his face, always laughing..
He was crying..
But he never even thought of giving up.

And then.. when i first saw him on TV, I left a sudden lump in my throat.

A few months later, he called ad bragged endlessly about how his group's song had taken first place on the music countdown.
I joked, Yeah rigth~ how would you guys get first place? "
But he kept insisting quietly, 'But we really did.." ^^;;
This friend, who has the voice of innocence, and passion for singing and dancing.
His name is...

Jung Yunho.
Now, known as U-Know Yunho ...

*Yoojin's note : because of that Yunho was become a big inspiration in my life ^^*

Cerita tentang Yunho (yang di ceritakan oleh seorang teman) :

Aku punya teman dari sekolah menengah yang impiannya adalah menjadi seorang penyanyi. Dia tidak pernah berhenti untuk mengatakan dia akan menjadi seorang penyanyi. Dia mengatakan begitu sering, itu kadang-kadang menjadi annyance.
Tapi begitu suatu hari, ia tiba-tiba mengumumkan bahwa dia akan mencoba di audisi menyanyi. Dia bilang padaku dia terlalu gugup untuk pergi sendiri, dan bahwa ia ingin aku datang bersamanya. Aku mengerti kekhawatirannya, aku memutuskan untuk pergi bersamanya. Beberapa hari kemudian, tiba-tiba membawaku ke sudut dan berbisik: Hei ... Aku diterima di audisi! hehehe ...

Tidak pernah terlintas dalam pikiran saya bahwa dia akan diterima, tapi ia berhasil diterima dengan mudah.
Itu tingkat ke 9 kami liburan musim dingin, pada saat itu.
Bagi dia, rasa sakit itu baru saja datang.

Sejak usia muda, ia pergi dari GwangJoo ke Seoul, sekali seminggu untuk mendapatkan pelatihan. (Perjalanan yang sangat panjang untuk sampai ke Seoul dari GwangJoo)
Itu terus berlangsung selama 2-3 tahun.
Aku mengikutinya beberapa kali, dan aku tidak dapat percaya betapa sulitnya pelatihan ini.
Tapi ia tidak pernah menyerah, dan terus berusaha apapun yang bisa dia lakukan.
Ia melatih vokal di tengah taman yang ramai, ia melatih menari di tengah bus kota.
Dia tidak pernah berhenti.
Dia akan sering telepon dan bernyanyi untuk ku, bertanya: Bagaimana? Bagaimana kedengarannya?

Kemudian suatu hari, ia memanggil _sigh -
Ia mulai menangis .. menceritakan betapa keras dan menyakitkan itu.
Dia yang selalu punya senyum di wajahnya, selalu tertawa ..
Ia menangis ..
Tetapi ia bahkan tidak pernah berpikir untuk menyerah.

Kemudian .. ketika aku pertama kali melihat dia di TV, tiba-tiba tenggorokan ku menjadi bengkak.

Beberapa bulan kemudian, dia menelepon membual tanpa henti tentang bagaimana lagu grupnya mendapat tempat pertama di music countdown.
Aku bercanda, Yeah benar ~ bagaimana kalian akan mendapatkan tempat pertama? "
Tapi dia tetap bersikeras dengan tenang, "Tapi kami benar-benar .." ^ ^;;
Teman ini, yang memiliki suara polos, dan keinginan untuk menyanyi dan dance.
Namanya ...

Jung Yunho.
Sekarang, yang dikenal sebagai U-Know Yunho ...

*Catatan Yoojin : karena itulah Yunho menjadi inspirasi terbesar dalam kehidupan ku ^^*
