    The moment you said that you were instructed to be careful and ready since EXO-M is a SM Group made me laugh so much. I don't work primarily with the on-stage and on-camera perfomances but as member of an outsourced music production (music engineering and digital products) for different kpop music group, these are the same and always the no. 1 instruction given especially when working for the big 3.

    I stumbled upon your channel by chance, and I love your energy so much, you’re like an older sister that I never had~ I relate so much to the introverted “I don’t wanna meet new people” mindset. when I heard you say “translator” I nearly jumped out of my seat, since my channel is literally focused on translations and I’ve been interpreting/translating for both video content and written works on the side for quite a while - albeit mostly Mandarin to English, my Korean is horrendous, haha :) I studied journalism for multiple years and work in several publications now, so I just thought it would be helpful to have interpretation on my resume, I never really thought about the possibility of pursuing a career in it. this was such an insightful video; I actually didn’t know that event venues outsourced interpreters from concert management companies, I’ve always assumed that most groups had people on staff who could help if they ever went on tour overseas. I definitely learned a lot about how everything works onsite at venues, and hey, now I have another option for employment to fall back on if needed, although I can’t imagine how much stress there would be working in the entertainment industry 24/7. thank you for sharing your experiences!! take care :)

    I really enjoyed listening to your story and how it unfolded. From just hearing you tell it, I wanted to hear what else you wanted to say and subscribed. You came across as very nice and it's no wonder that you would have received so much complements, especially since you showed everyone how well you could adapt to instant changes. It would have also been very nice for your brother to hear that you did so well from day one. I was a member of Dramafever, and loved that company and all the workers from top to bottom. They mentioned the KCON in California, it was probably the same one you attended. Take Care, You will probably hear from me again! Keep Well!

    Thank you for sharing your insights! They provide such a fascinating glimpse into the K-pop industry. Could you talk about this too?
    - Who paid for your flights, meals, and hotel? What would you have to pay for on your own?
    - Does the company provide good benefits?
    - Did the Korean staff ever take issue with the fact that you were a female staff and that you looked so young?
    Honestly, the first time I watched your video I was shocked to see you looked just like all of us :) I always imagined an older all-male staff backstage because the Korean staff are so protective of their artists.

Well, I really want to work behind something like the industry of music especially in k-pop. I'd love to meet with someone new also with the different culture with me. So I think work behind the industry of music such as k-pop is one of my dreams, because I want to work and also learn something new like the culture too.
