Before hearing the conductor’s words, Haeyoon thought checking the truth as Chae Beomjoon suggested would be meaningless. But now, a strong impulse was rising within him like never before.dae6dfde58099e53

Repeating words he a83c67abbf had murmured to 82912e22f4 himself hundreds, thousands 47b2bdb4cd of times, he cb96c8b011 got up and 07196828d9 started packing his 88f8c37c2d things.

To meet 314b11ea35 the concertmaster, eef14bd801 Seo Haeyoon 847afe3833 wandered around e4077ea185 with his 2e9a3bc6ab double bass 43a6e550dc on his 85658a149d back.

A face that was e875da25d7 irritable, sensitive, and strict.

“Usually, other orchestras take written applications and do interviews, but we’ve been deciding solely on performance for the last two years or so. There were some changes within the group, so we started doing blind auditions, and this is how it goes. First, we post the announcement, and we accept applications for a set period. The files sent are reviewed by me, the team leaders, and the deputy director to filter out applicants. After that, we narrow it down to five candidates, and then the director – that is, the acting director – comes to listen.”07ac40b8ba3a24ea

Hong Hyekyung’s explanation was straightforward. The acting director comes to listen to the auditions and then selects the successful candidates and reviews the documents. However, since this happens in the office, it wasn’t clear whether Chae Beomjoon looked at his documents first or listened to his performance first.
