Even idols are returning to school, but here’s Kim Bibi taking an academic hiatus
Isn’t that pathetic?

삐🔒 @bbi661bbi
Dude, this is my first hiatus ㅠㅠ
***
For college students, February is the month of course registration.
But for those on academic hiatus, it doesn’t apply!
Lim Ji-su, tasting the sweetness of a hiatus for the very first time, thought so.
And this was even before March, when the serious hiatus period would truly begin.
The familiar scene of frantically clicking the school website like ticket-booking, tumbling into registration hell every time—that was goodbye now. Or at least, see you later for a while.
She’d stepped outside the university and thought she’d spend the year soaking in the dopamine of idol fandom.
But then came the news that Seo Ji-on had returned to Seo Jung Arts University.
Not news, really—it was official.
A short video of the Seo Jung girls—Seo Ji-on and Kang Su-ah—registering for courses had gone up on the official Evergreat YouTube.
(By the way, it turned out Seo Ji-on had reminded Kang Su-ah about the registration date this time too!)
Fans worried the return to school might mean fewer activities this year found their fears eased by a comeback article that dropped the same day. The exact comeback format wasn’t revealed, but at least they were still active.
On top of that, Seo Ji-on had said on Univers that she’d returned to school because her parents wanted her to graduate, and that there’d be no disruption to her activities—so the worries were essentially put to rest.
‘But isn’t Seo Ji-on going to have a hard time…….’
Honestly, as a fan, you can’t help but worry about something like that.
Really, I do worry….
But there’s nothing one ordinary fan can do about it. Since Seo Ji-on said she’d do it, she must be doing it….
So Lim Ji-su made up her mind to simply cheer her on.
Whatever Seo Ji-on and Evergreat do, I should support them. Lim Ji-su just likes to enjoy fandom as it flows—she’s not the type of control freak obsessed with steering things.
Lim Ji-su and her friends decided to do whatever they could to the fullest extent.
The most recent example was the birthday fan cafe they’d hosted for Go Hyun-seo.
About a month ago, on January 24th, Go Hyun-seo’s birthday fan cafe, organized under Kim Si-hyun’s lead, had wrapped up successfully.
Unlike Lim Ji-su, who’d hesitated on hosting a birthday cafe last year and let it pass, Kim Si-hyun, an academic hiatus student with some savings, had poured all the money she’d earned from part-time work into running it.
The result was a complete success. They could really feel how much Evergreat’s domestic fandom had grown, fans gathered and chatted, and it was a beneficial and joyful time.
Near the end of running the cafe, the fact that Go Hyun-seo and Seo Ji-on visited in person was completely unexpected!
There’d been a Silver Disc Awards ceremony the night before, so she never imagined they’d actually show up.
It turned out that Seo Ji-on had informed Go Hyun-seo about the cafe’s existence, and they’d gotten company approval to visit.
‘I mean, we go to fan meets so often that the girls definitely recognize us….’
But if people who go to fan meets frequently and hang out off-camera frequently don’t open a birthday cafe, who will? (Seriously.)
Kim Si-hyun had taken charge with that mindset, and her ten-year best friend and fellow fan Park Ji-yeon, along with Lim Ji-su, had helped her, saying she was right.
‘And that’s how the members ended up coming, and we become happy otaku….’
All the money we spend on fandom is for our girls to be happy and joyful. We hope the members are happy and joyful for our own selfish satisfaction.
In that sense, this birthday cafe event(?) was the perfect scenario: our own desires fulfilled and getting to see the members having fun.
I shouldn’t hold back on spending for fandom going forward. That’s why I took a hiatus in the first place!
I took a hiatus even while enduring my mom’s nagging—there’s a reason for everything. It’s all so I can enjoy fandom comfortably….
Lim Ji-su just lay back on her bed and turned on her smartphone.
Today was February 23rd. Tomorrow would be Evergreat’s Debut Anniversary.
Various content filled her Twitter timeline: digital billboards prepared by overseas fans, a Debut One-Year Anniversary commemorative event cafe organized by domestic fans (Lim Ji-su had contributed to this too), and more.
What Lim Ji-su was most looking forward to was something the members had made being released at midnight today!
Not long ago, a teaser had appeared on the official YouTube account.
By timing, it absolutely wasn’t a comeback teaser, and while the song wasn’t a comeback song….
[We always wanted to say thank you.]
[We weren’t sure how to refine it….]
[Because we wanted to convey our hearts…!]
The members’ voices overlapped, layered with piano sounds that tugged at something deep within.
Lim Ji-su sensed it instantly.
This is a fan song! Made by the members themselves, probably…!
Of course, thinking about how all of Evergreat’s songs come from Seo Ji-on’s hands, it doesn’t seem like much changes….
But the important thing is that they haven’t released a song with this kind of acoustic feel among the six Evergreat tracks so far. Plus, it’s probably a fan song!

[made by EVERGREET]
The moment she saw the subtitle at the end of the video, Lim Ji-su was filled with anticipation for midnight.
Come, sweet fan song!
What will our devoted girls have prepared this time!
***
Evergreat’s first anniversary, the stroke of midnight on February 24th.
【EVERGREAT ‘Everyday’ Official Fan Song M/V】
The first commemorative fan song was released on Evergreat’s YouTube.
Thank you Every, everyday
We gratefully receive your giving hearts every day
An acoustic piano ballad with bright progression yet vaguely wistful undertones, with a deep-toned violin layered on top to enhance the song’s atmosphere.
Fans had anticipated it to some degree, so they weren’t shocked by the fan song itself….
But this was the part that shocked most of the Every fanbase.
[Composed&Arranged by JION, SUA]
[Lyrics by All Member]
All members had participated in lyric-writing, and the composition was by Seo Ji-on and Kang Su-ah.
==========
[Why does Kang Su-ah play piano so well??]
We knew she could sing, but why’s she good at piano too? That’s so cool
——————————
– Seo Jung vocal students basically know how to play an instrument or two
– Isn’t Kang Su-ah from Seo Jung Arts University? If she got in through entrance exams at Seo Jung Arts University, she’d have some basic keyboard skills
– Seems like she’s got a good musical sense lol
[Evergreat’s Kang Su-ah turned on Univers today and sang for a long while lol]
She keeps asking Seo Ji-on to play piano and guitar for her, so I thought she was bad at instruments, but she’s actually good? Why’d she ask him then lollol
——————————
– Lazy? But that’s just how Kang Su-ah is
– Just feels like Kang Su-ah energy
[Kang Su-ah’s piano is good ㅇㅇ She played piano well before becoming an idol]
www.etube……
【[202X Regular Admission Double Major: Seo Jung Arts University & Donghwa Broadcasting Arts University, Applied Music & Vocal, Final Acceptance] ENLY (ENLY) – Hooked (Cover by Kang Su-ah)】
It’s from when she was a regular person, and both her singing and keyboard playing are impressive
——————————
– Oh wait, is this pre-debut Su-ah??? I think I saw it when the algorithm recommended it
└ Yeah, it had a decent view count even before debut thanks to the algorithm’s blessing
– Listening again, she really sings well, her musical sense just seems really good
==========
Everyone knows that Kang Su-ah is a Seo Jung Arts University student. She’s shown excellent piano playing before, so it’s fairly well-known among fans that Kang Su-ah’s musical sense is quite good.
But participating actively in composition is another matter entirely.
Because a different style of song could emerge than from Seo Ji-on’s work.
==========
[Anyone an Evergreat fan? Does Kang Su-ah do composition originally???]
Not a fan, just casually like her, but the fan song came out so I listened to it thinking “nice song~” and then I saw Kang Su-ah’s name in composition and got shocked. Isn’t the composition member just Seo Ji-on?
——————————
– Even Every didn’t know, first time seeing Kang Su-ah participate in composition ㅠㅠlollollol
– Even Every didn’t know 22
– I didn’t know, first time seeing it, so she does composition apparently
– Been a fan since predebut but ㅇㅇ I didn’t know…
[Isn’t the composition member of Evergreat just Seo Ji-on?]
Kang Su-ah’s name is there too
——————————
– Even Every are shocked seeing it for the first time, wondering if Kang Su-ah also writes songs
└ ㅇㅇlollol I’m Every and all my fellow fans are shocked wondering if Su-ah does composition too
[If you attend practical music, you basically have composition theory]
Yeah, Evergreat’s Su-ah
That’s why harmony and stuff gets taught, so singers can write their own songs, and there’s original composition assignments too
But didn’t Seo Ji-on have a video where she complained to Su-ah about not being able to do harmony lol?
——————————
– That was from the predebut exam period vlogoll
└ Ah) So my memory wasn’t wrong after alllol
==========
The fact that another member had joined in on song work that had been led solely by Seo Ji-on until now came as a surprise even to the Every fanbase (even if it was mainly just for a fan song that fans heard) and became a minor topic of conversation among idol enthusiasts and those interested in idol news.
And then, another video dropped at noon that day.
【Expressing Love Is Quite Difficult │ Fan Song Production Diary │ EVER-LOG】
The behind-the-scenes of the fan song production came out.
Starting with a documentary-like atmosphere, quieter and more subdued than the usual upbeat tone, the behind-the-scenes moved from a first-anniversary content meeting to a members-only meeting.
[Hyun Jae-yi: It’s a fan song! I think a bright, fun festival vibe would be nice. Um, because the time with Every feels like a festival?]
[Go Hyun-seo: Um…. Don’t you think it should be a bit more serious?]
[Lee Han-byul: I…, want to sing it warmly. Then it’ll feel more sincere.]
Contrary to Seo Ji-on’s expectations, the meeting section moved quickly.
Each member’s thoughts on what a fan song meant, their preferences, its significance…. They kept only the important content and removed the tedious formalities.
After that, the main content became the story of the younger members struggling with the lyrics.
Seo Ji-on laughed, saying it was natural for a first time, but then seemed exasperated, questioning how they could write nothing at all—and that unexpected moment of humor became a highlight.
The most surprising part of the behind-the-scenes was….
내별 @my1st_ar
Lee Han-byul was a genius writing even the chorus
Stop it, I’m gonna love her too much
(Behind-the-scenes of Lee Han-byul writing the chorus)
It was Lee Han-byul showing unexpected talent in lyric-writing.
Just as Kang Su-ah’s composition had been a first reveal, Lee Han-byul’s lyric-writing was naturally also being shown for the first time.
‘Should I have Han-byul do some lyrics on the next album?’
It was equally surprising to Seo Ji-on. If asked to name the most surprising member from the fan song project, it would probably be Lee Han-byul….
And so, as the afternoon of the Debut Anniversary at 6 PM passed by.

The light stick that no one among the Every fanbase had expected was suddenly revealed on the official account!
