Chapter 48

Facing Taeyeon's question, Li Yuhao also smiled and answered, "Hehe... It was a sudden inspiration. I wanted to catch 'it' before it slipped away, so I recorded the song in the studio and ended up staying up all night. I fell asleep and rested on the sofa in the studio after the main melody of the song was completed."

Jang Ren laughed at this answer, "Hehe, I see. Mr. Li Yuhao, you once entered Seoul National University with excellent grades in the college entrance exam. Why did you choose the finance major back then? With your grades, you could have chosen any major at Seoul National University, right?"

Li Yuhao nodded, recalling that he had ranked 11th in the national college entrance exam, which indeed gave him the freedom to choose any major. "Yes, my high school teacher suggested I study medicine or law, but due to financial reasons, I could only choose finance. Medicine requires six years of study, and law requires buying many books. I had some financial difficulties, so I chose finance."

"After all, finance graduates can immediately start working at banks or securities companies, unlike other majors where doctors and lawyers have a long internship process after graduation. You all know the intern salaries... Hehe, I had no choice. I had to make a living."

Taeyeon also nodded and said, "I didn't know that Li Yuhao chose finance due to financial reasons. Your personal information also mentions that your parents passed away in junior high. I want to ask how you lived?"

"I just lived, eating, sleeping, and studying. Actually, the government provided some subsidies at the time. With the help of a kind boss who allowed me to work in his store, I managed to support myself until I graduated from high school. I never went on any school trips because I couldn't afford the fees. I remember once, after paying my tuition, I had no money left. I made a mistake. I hadn't eaten for four days and was really, really hungry. I knew I would starve to death if I didn't eat something."

"Later, I went to a bakery and stole a loaf of bread, and the owner caught me. After learning my situation, he didn't blame me but let me work in his store and provided me with a meal every day. He also let me stay in the bakery at night to help him watch the store. I knew he was giving me a place to stay. I am very grateful to that boss. He left to immigrate, and I never saw him again. I am truly very grateful to him for helping me in my most difficult times. Uncle CEO, thank you."

Jang Ren also smiled and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect Li Yuhao to have had such a tough past, but stealing is still wrong. Let's take a break for a commercial... We'll continue our conversation after the ad."

During the commercial break, Li Yuhao gestured to his manager to bring some mineral water. The manager brought the water, and Li Yuhao took a few big sips and placed the bottle in front of him. Just as the broadcast was about to start, Li Yuhao accidentally spilled some water while picking up the script.

At that moment, the broadcast began, and Li Yuhao's voice was heard, "Sorry, sorry. Paper, Taeyeon, paper."

Taeyeon smiled and handed Li Yuhao a tissue, then said, "Fans, Li Yuhao has caused some trouble. He accidentally spilled water on the table, and the script is all wet. Mr. Li Yuhao, is everything okay?"

"It's fine, as long as I can still read it, hehe..."

"Alright, let's move on to the third part. Mr. Li Yuhao, please give us a live performance. Which song will you be singing?"

"Since 'Snow Flower' was just played, I'll sing 'No Longer Love.'"

"On this quiet night, when loneliness strikes, let's listen to Li Yuhao's live performance of 'No Longer Love.' Fans, have your tissues ready. GOGO!!"

Li Yuhao stood in front of the microphone, put on his headphones, and began to sing with deep emotion...

After the song ended, Taeyeon said, "I don't know about you, but listening to Li Yuhao's live performance so closely, my eyes are welling up with tears. Li Yuhao's voice has a magical quality. When he sang the first word, I felt my whole body shiver."

Jang Ren also smiled and said, "Li Yuhao's voice makes me feel a strange pain. Listeners, please text us and tell us how you feel."

Jang Ren continued, "Next, we have questions from fans who are curious about Li Yuhao. What are they curious about? This is a direct call to Mr. Li Yuhao. Please call in actively. Let's listen to the first caller's question."

"Hello, who is this?"

"Great... It's me. Hello, I'm 'Feather' Lee Ji-hye from Busan. How can Mr. Li Yuhao sing so beautifully? Mr. Li Yuhao, 'Saranghae' (I love you). What should I do? I'm so nervous."

Li Yuhao smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, take your time. What are you curious about?"

"This time, Mr. Li Yuhao's album is a huge success. I search for your news in the media every day. When will you come to Busan for a signing event? I'm really looking forward to it."

Li Yuhao smiled and said, "Hehe, a signing event in Busan? I'm not sure about the schedule, but I will definitely come to Busan. Thank you for your support!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li Yuhao. The 'Feathers' in Busan are looking forward to your visit."

After hanging up, Jang Ren also smiled and said, "Hehe, the schedule is indeed up to the company. Let's listen to the next question. Hello... who is this?"

"Hello, I'm Jang Soon-young from Incheon. Today, I saw Mr. Li Yuhao shoot a magazine cover. The cover shows Mr. Li Yuhao wearing an open shirt and biting the fabric pulled up from his stomach. I saw Mr. Li Yuhao's abs and they are really impressive. I want to ask, Mr. Li Yuhao, what kind of exercise do you usually do to have such abs? Or is it photoshopped? Also, what do you usually eat to maintain your figure?"

Hearing this question, Li Yuhao knew the caller was likely an adult woman. The question made even Taeyeon blush, as it focused on Li Yuhao's physique and abs, which was quite embarrassing.

"Oh, this... it's not photoshopped. I think it's from delivering milk in the mornings when I was in school. Others deliver milk by motorcycle, but I used a bicycle, rain or shine. So my abs and leg muscles are quite developed. What do I usually eat? Recently, due to a busy schedule, I've been eating seaweed rolls, triangle rice balls, and bread almost every day. I haven't had a proper meal in a while because of the lack of time."

Li Yuhao is a solo artist, so he has to be present for everything, unlike a group where members can split up for different events. Being the only one, he is even more exhausted.

Taeyeon also smiled and poked Li Yuhao's stomach, almost wanting to feel his abs herself. "Oh, so Mr. Li Yuhao built his body while working. Hehe... Let's listen to the third question. Hello, who is this?"

A man's voice came through, "Hello, I'm Min-hyuk from Daegu. Mr. Li Yuhao, I have mixed feelings about you. What should I do? Your songs have made my girlfriend crazy about you, so I really hate you. But your songs are really... very good. I also fell in love with your songs when my girlfriend was listening to them. I think your album is very classic, especially 'Like Being Shot.' It makes me feel so much pain. I want to ask if you have experienced a deep and unforgettable love?"

Hearing this question, Taeyeon also laughed, "Wow... wow... This is asking about Mr. Li Yuhao's past relationships. I'm also very curious. What kind of pain did Mr. Li Yuhao experience to write such songs?"

"Ah... Actually, I don't want to think about that relationship anymore because it wasn't worth it. I'm sure many of you have met someone you liked in school, right? I was no exception. I remember working at a coffee shop, and there was a girl who often came to our shop, ordered a coffee, and sat by the window reading her books."

"Over time, we became familiar with each other and developed a liking. In my second year, I asked her to be my girlfriend, and she agreed. We went out to eat, watched movies... everything was going well. I spent all the money I earned from part-time jobs on her. I thought I would spend my life with this woman, but fate had other plans. Just before I graduated, she broke up with me, and it came out of nowhere."

"Facing the sudden breakup, I asked her why, because we had been together for over a year. Of course, I needed to know the reason, right? It was my first love, and first love is always unforgettable, isn't it? In those innocent times, we all dream about the future... but I never thought there would be a day when we would break up..."
