New arc starts! New drama! Sanghyun's role as an outsider/observer is still very clear, with emotional stakes sourced and centered from an entirely different friend group that he hasn't even attempted to connect himself to. Who knows how much that'll change as the story goes, though!
In other news—that's an interesting training to start Han Yoil's next step. I wonder if they're going to ask her to conform, or have her develop her technique? I don't know as much about K-Pop culture as I'd like, but I figure having husky vocals might be good appeal, especially if you have a wide range. Singers like Hoshimachi Suisei and Aina the End really fit that impression for me, so if Han Yoil's anywhere like them I really would end up being her fan when she debuts. (Well, if she's real lol)
Thanks for the chapter!
