have you heard about her

+ interview prompt 1/3

location: conference room at midas media date: april 13th time: 02.30pm word count:

her first interview since joining aurora. her first solo interview, not counting the pseudo-interviews from produce project. it’s yet another one of those things that most rookies find terrifying, but minyoung finds absolutely exhilarating. they’re sitting in one of midas’ many conference rooms, greetings and empty small talk out of the way. the reporter is setting up her equipment, and going through her notes. finally, there’s a sound of triumph, and the reporter turns towards minyoung.

“there we go! kang soljin, interviewing heo minyoung of aurora. today’s date is april thirteenth, time... two-thirty pm.” the reporter grins at minyoung, who smiles patiently. “let’s just get started then! first question - who is the single most influence person to your career? be it in a musical capacity or otherwise.” an important, but easy question. a good warm up. minyoung hums thoughtfully, makes her moments of consideration a show. she has cited diamant as her influence before, but this time they’re asking about a single person, which makes it a bit more difficult.

“i’m going to have to name two people, simply due to the fact that they way they influenced me are not comparable.” minyoung looks a bit hesitantly at the reporter, who nods. “first is kwon boah - the soloist. i’ve always striven for a very feminine, yet strong image, but not sexy, or ‘cool’. i’m not girl crush material. boa’s music and general style has been a strong inspiration, and influenced who i am today as an idol.” she pauses there, signlling that she’s moving on to the next person.

“the second person is my old music teacher from middle school.” a nostalgic smile blooms on her lips - purely for show though. “middle school is a bit early to start pursuing your dream career one might say, but it is the time you start having an actual idea where you want to go in life. i didn’t have one. both of my siblings have always been so sure in their paths, and i felt so much pressure to be just as confident, even though i really wasn’t. i claimed to want to be a lot of things - doctor, lawyer, pilot, manager - but there was always a ‘but’ following after. being an idol was a rather sudden goal for me - really, i got hooked after watching a survival show with a friends - but at the time i felt that i wasn’t talented enough. i shared this with my music teacher, since she was the closest thing to an idol trainer in my mind, and she said ‘you have a beautiful voice though, minyoung, so don’t say you are not talent. and what is talent without hard work? you are among the hard-working students in my class, always looking to improve yourself. with that dedication, you could become anything you want! if that something is an idol, well, i’ll look forward to hearing your voice on the radio.’ and those words just struck a cord in me.”

minyoung laughed a bit, a soft sound. “those two are the people that i would say have influenced my career the most.” the reporter nodded, seemingly very satisfied with the answer. minyoung leaned back in her chair, giggling on the inside at the load of bollocks she’d just spouted. the real answer to that question was way too easy - herself. there was only one person in this world that had any notable influence over what she did and wanted, and that was herself. of course, that was not a good media answer.
