With the outlooks on the entertainment industry rising one step higher, we as the public arent just curious about their glamorous images, but their back stories before they became celebrities as well. We have prepared the column star story in our publishing which not only tells a truthful side to stars, but their past that brought them to where they are today. This episodes protagonist is B.A.Ps Daehyun, who has stepped forth into the music industry with his strong charisma as hes in charge of innocence in the group. With Daehyun worrying over his future, he wanted to transfer into an arts high school in which he thought would unravel his dreams of becoming a singer, but he soon gave up, the reason being how expensive tuition was. I wanted to go to an arts high school, but tuition was pretty expensive. With the fear of how much burden itd lay on my parents, I gave up and instead looked into a high school that had a music program and I ended up finding a place. Soon afterwards, Daehyun was able to obtain information about the school but came across obstacles, which was the cutline to acceptances in which he was a little below the cut for grades. And being driven by that, he began to pour his all into studying and felt the joy of victory when he was eventually accepted. In going through the hassle of being accepted into the school, it m ade me think of how I should really work harder. My teacher really liked me and people in my surroundings complimented me lots in saying that I was good at singing, so my teacher recommended me to sing in front of my seniors one day. I think after that stage, I heard more compliments on how good I was at singing (laughs). With the compliments Daehyun received, he really worked hard on singing and with his endless efficiency, his friends were the ones who approached him first. However, his puberty struck again, in which he thought he overcame in middle school, which resulted in another stage of rebellion. I faced puberty again and I was even disobedient to my parents word a lot, disregarding my studies because I was too busy having fun. However, his second time around of puberty didnt last long because of his mother who believed him till the end. His mother accepted all of the whining and complaints of her son

facing puberty, which drove Daehyun back to his roots of always having a strong sense of filial affection, ending his rebellious days. In my second year of high school, I began having an interest again in my future career and the opportunity came to me. I began practicing with peers who also dreamed of becoming vocalists at a youth center, and thats how I officially began taking vocal practices. In this period of time, Daehyun learned both vocals and bboying. Although he never received prior official lessons, his singing skills already had a name for its self. Someone saw me practicing and asked if I was interested in joining a youth club, so it was a time where we uploaded practice videos on the internet. At the time, I was friends who did bboying so I learned dancing too. With one of his friends seeing the amount of effort he put in, he recommended if hed like to go to an academy with him and that was how Daehyun enrolled in an academy beside the beach and since then, he began receiving official lessons. At the time, I had no knowledge of improving but I had the thought in mind that I can do well. With the mindset of working hard till death, I even cut off my cell phone plan to keep on practicing and stayed at the academy practicing till they closed. For about a year, I was crazy for singing and dancing. And this was the time when Daehyun met his teacher who will become his life mentor, stacking his skills slowly, one by one.
