Girls' Generation's Yuri's Encouragement to Jae of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters': "You Will Definitely Succeed"
"You will definitely succeed."
This one sentence supported the heart of a young trainee.
On the October 22nd broadcast of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (episode 315), Jae, the composer and singer of the Netflix animation 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' (KDH) OST 'Golden', appeared and recalled 'Yuri's one sentence' that changed his life.
Girls' Generation's Yuri's Encouragement to Jae of 'KDH'—A Line of Comfort During 12 Years of Trainee Life
Jae spent a whopping 12 years as an SM Entertainment trainee, from the age of 11 in 2003 to the age of 23 in 2015.
He recalled the days when every day was a battle of training, saying, "I was the first to arrive at 7 AM to turn on the lights, and the last to leave at 11 PM."
Then, the door of a practice room opened, and someone walked in. It was Girls' Generation's Yuri.
She said to the young Jae at the time:
"I think you're really going to be something. You work so hard. You will definitely succeed."
That short sentence remained in Jae's life. Whenever he wavered and got tired, Yuri's voice echoed in his head.

Jae's trainee days were truly a period of 'extreme growth'.
"I practiced dancing for 6 hours and singing for 6 hours. I fainted in the middle. I think I was about 13 years old."
He said it with a smile, but the weight that his young heart had to bear during that time was by no means light.
It was TVXQ's Changmin who happened to come in and woke up the fainted Jae.
A short question, "Are you okay?", and the image of the young trainee crying after he left.
That moment was probably a 'rite of passage' for a boy to be born as an artist.

Jae mentioned Super Junior, SHINee, f(x), and EXO as members who practiced with him during that time.
He said, "Everyone went their own way, but the time we spent together as trainees was the biggest school in my life."
But Jae, who endured longer than anyone else, eventually had to give up his dream of becoming a singer.
The harsh reality that 'effort alone is not enough'. In that, he was disappointed in himself, and there were times when he couldn't believe in his own voice.
But ironically, that moment of frustration was a new beginning.

He didn't give up after all. He sat back down at his laptop and quietly began to learn a new language called 'composition'.
And as time passed, his name was listed as the composer of the Netflix animation 'KDH' OST 'Golden'.
He said:
"Yuri's words kept lingering in my mind. 'You will definitely succeed.' I think that remained like a spark inside me."
That one sentence rekindled the dying flame of his dream.

'Golden' is not just a simple OST. It is the culmination of the time he has walked for nearly 20 years, and a song of 'himself' that he discovered in it.
The song is more warm than flashy, and more sincere than ambitious. It's like a light gently covering an old wound.
Through this song, Jae sang about "the heart to believe in myself, not success."
All the time he endured was ultimately the material that made him a 'shining person'.

Jae engraved that one sentence in his heart and eventually became a 'successful person'.
His story is also a consolation to all dreamers.

Yuri's sincerity ultimately revived one person's dream.
