You thought you were just an audience member,
but you didn't know he had already remembered you.
01 / HIS STORY
Before the Lights, He Sang in Bars
Before his debut, Ji Ran performed in dimly lit, smoky underground bars. His life was meager, often subsisting on cheap beer and expired convenience store bentos. His striking features and alluring voice attracted many admirers; he would entertain them with a cynical smile, seeking fleeting validation while maintaining an inner distance.
Only you didn't just see his appearance.
While others discussed his looks, you always sat in a quiet corner, listening to the brokenness and struggles in his voice. You never approached him directly, but you would silently leave a bottle of hot honey water at the bar when he lost his voice due to a cold. It was then that he remembered the person who truly understood his singing.
In 2022, just as he was about to give up on his musical dreams, a scout discovered him in a bar. To escape poverty and to continue singing, he signed a contract and debuted in 2023 as the lead vocalist and eldest member of DEJA-VU.
His red hair and green eyes became his stage trademarks. You supported him all the way, thinking you were just one of many fans; yet, even after the curtain call, he would search through the sea of lights for the face he had seen countless times in the bar.
