Prologues

Yang who sat while shaking his legs. He then exchanged glances with the manager standing behind the cameramen. Yangyang raised his chin and eyebrows slightly. Like a mind-breader, the nim-manager immediately understood what Yangyang meant. He saw the clock on his HP screen, still 30 minutes away. Manager-nim also formed a 3-0 on both hands. Yangyang nodded and looked back at the mc. Who let out a fake smile following the rest of the band, he did not have time to hear Taeyong's reply which made the entire studio laugh.

Yangyang is one of the members of the band The Zoo who is being interviewed by one of the TV stations. He was quite nervous because this was their first interview with a famous TV station. The Zoo is now on the rise, their second mini album successfully competing on the Korean charts and beating some of the top musicians. Now he glanced at the vocalist who was answering the question, it was Giselle, his close friend. Giselle replied in a nervous voice, but the mc made a crisp joke so that Giselle could continue her answer. Taeyoung, who sat to Giselle's right, looked at her as if she was encouraging the only woman in her band.

“Giselle is nervous,” whispered one of the band members sitting to the left of Yangyang. It was Hendery.

“Sst,” Yangyang nudge little arm Hendery.

The one who then extended his hand to pat Giselle's back gently beside her.

Sang mc also realized the movement of Yangyang, “What's up, Yangyang ssi?” ask her a little head tilt.

Quickly, Yangyang returned the position of his hand. “A.aniyo” argue Yangyang. “Giselle sounds nervous. So.. hehe”

“Ah... so apparently,” the Mc smiled sweetly while clapping his hands. “you are indeed familiar yes,”

“Y.ya. Because we know from SMA.” replied Yangyang slowly.

“Betul also yes, as Taeyoung ssi mentioned earlier,” nods the mc while looking at Taeyoung sitting nearby. “then, Yangyang ssi, can you explain what your band name means, you can say, ‘The Zoo’?”

“N..ne?” Yang Yang Yang's eyes were wide open.

“Aigoo, forgot?” Taeyoung scrunched his forehead while chuckling.

“Looks like he forgot, hyung,” Jeno who sat the furthest along chimed in the prank.

Who looked at Taeyoung as if asking for help. “du..we used to have a race at the zoo, then we were...”.

“Aniaa..” by Giselle. Makes the mc laugh with Yangyang's wrong answer.

“not because of that, hya, ‘kan we have agreed not that the reason,”

“Hahaha.. waeyo? Because you guys went to the zoo?” Ask the mc while covering his mouth with a Q-card. It seems that it is difficult to control his laughter.

“Yangyang ah,” Jeno extended his hand and formed a movement ‘stop’. He seemed ready to explain after he pointed at himself.

“As the meaning, ‘Zoo’ is a gathering place for various kinds of animals, it is like our 5th member,” explained Jeno who remembers with a formal answer the meaning of the name ‘The Zoo’. “Taeyoung hyung on Guitar, Hendery hyung on drums, Giselle on vocals, Yangyang on keyboard, and me on bass. We all have different characteristics, both in terms of nature, taste of music, style of music games, and others. The whole difference was gathered in one ‘place’ that is this band, the band ‘The Zoo’,” explained Jeno. “In addition, we also liken ourselves to brave wild animals that can conquer the wilderness, hehe. That's how it is,” continued by ending by an explanation that made him a little embarrassed.

The mc nodded slowly giving full attention to Jeno's answer. “Oooh..” nod the mc. “good at once meaning,” praise.

Unlike the mc, all members of The Zoo look to hold a laugh professionally. They remember the events of a few years ago when they still did not officially form the band The Zoo. At that time there was a band competition held at one of the zoos that had just officially opened. Everyone agreed to take the race. They did not specify the name of their band.

‘White Tiger’ and ‘Thunder Storm’ are prime candidates for their band names. However, the youngest members of –Giselle, Yangyang, Jeno- disagreed because the name was too cringe. They also still remember that even on the day H they have not determined the name of their band. Until finally Giselle triggered the name ‘Zoo’ as the name of their band, many pro-cons happened, but they had to immediately register the name of the band to the committee. Finally Yangyang corrected their band name grammar to ‘The Zoo’, and registered the name to the event organizer. Unexpectedly, they won the race and there they started using the name ‘The Zoo’.

A second after glancing at the Q-card containing the script of the course of the interview, the mc continued to speak, “Then, it is time for one of you to promote a new song from The Zoo,”

“Eh?”

All the members of The Zoo exchanged glances and pointed at each other.

“Oppa only, oppa did who made the song,” pointed Giselle with a soft voice at Hendery who was sitting next to Yangyang.

Hendery points to himself, “eh? A..aku?” Speak with a right and a left.

“Hya hya..” Taeyoung calms his band members who do seem busy pointing at each other. He also looked at mc beside him, “sorry yes, this is because we were too nervous. Then, I'm the only one promoting this song,”

All members sat straight back, they stared at the camera in front of the five members of the pop-rock genre. The manager smiled, and hoped Taeyoung's explanation could make the audience more interested in listening to their latest song.
