✨The proposal ✨

“Wow! What a performance, Nana,” Jinyoung praised, stepping onto the stage with a bright smile as Nara finished her high-energy set of ‘Bother Me’ and ‘Chill해.’ Nara bowed graciously, her face glowing with exhilaration. Jinyoung mirrored her bow, playfully adding a dramatic flair that made her giggle.

As they both returned to their stools, the question board placed between them again, Jinyoung gestured toward the audience. “Let’s dive back into the fans ‘ questions while you catch your breath, shall we?”

Nara nodded, taking a refreshing sip of water and smiling warmly at the cheering crowd. Jinyoung picked up the next sticky note, reading aloud, “How does it feel to be an almost third-generation idol in a fifth-generation wave?”

They both paused, tilting their heads in unison, confusion evident on their faces. The crowd chuckled at their synchronized reaction.

“Well…” Nara began thoughtfully, “It’s definitely an interesting question. I suppose it feels like being a bridge between two eras. I’ve seen how the industry evolved over the years, and now I get to witness—and be part of—a new wave of talent and trends.”
Jinyoung nodded, adding, “It must be inspiring to see how things have changed, but also how some values, like hard work and passion, stay constant.”

“Exactly,” Nara agreed. “While each generation brings something fresh, the core of being an idol—connecting with fans and delivering meaningful performances—remains the same. It’s humbling and exciting to represent that continuity.”

The audience erupted into applause, appreciating her heartfelt response. Jinyoung smiled at her. “That was beautifully said, Nana. I’m very sure that the fans are proud of how you carry both legacy and innovation.”

Nara grinned, her eyes shining. “Thank you. And I’m so lucky to have fans who support me through all of it.” She bowed at the crowd and blew a kiss, making the crowd cheered. “Next question,” Nara announced, pulling a note from the board. She giggled, thinking for a moment before reading aloud, “What do you like to do in your free time?”

A warm smile spread across her face. “Well... I love baking, mostly making chocolate chip cookies because I can’t get enough of them.” The crowd erupted into cheers, clearly amused by her sweet tooth.

Jinyoung quickly jumped in with a grin. “여러분, let me just say, Nana makes the best cheesecake brownies. Seriously, you’re missing out if you haven’t tried them.” He gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up, prompting more cheers and laughter from the audience.

Nara giggled, shaking her head playfully. “Thank you, 오빠. I guess I’ll need to make a batch for you soon!” she teased. Jinyoung clapped his hands together dramatically. “Please do!” he said, making the audience laugh even more.

Nara continued, “I also enjoy experimenting with new recipes I come across and going out for walks, especially when I can take some random pictures. It’s relaxing and inspires me creatively.”

The crowd responded with a round of applause, clearly appreciating her down-to-earth hobbies. “Baking, walking, and photography—sounds like a perfect balance,” Jinyoung commented with a smile.

“It is,” Nara agreed. “It helps me unwind and keeps me grounded, even with a schedule.” The crowd erupted in cheers again, their excitement filling the venue. Just as the noise began to settle, Nara leaned into the microphone with a mischievous grin. “Oh, and I like to annoy my brothers too,” she added playfully.

The audience burst into laughter, loving her candid admission. Jinyoung gasped dramatically, placing a hand over his chest. “Nana!” he exclaimed, feigning shock.
