BTS Eighth Member | The Life: Year 2018

Chapter 5- 95 Line Album V-Live

Author's Note at the End

February 25th, 2018:

I was in my studio getting ready to do a V-live about the album. I was in the process of making my couch look acceptable, putting a stuffy of Sunny (her BT21 character) I'd gotten in nice view of the phone. I was just about to sit back down when someone started rapidly knocking on my door. I rolled my eyes, feeling like it was probably one of the other maknae line members. I opened the door and was unsurprisingly met by Taehyung and Jimin.

"I'm about to do a live," I tell them, arms crossed waiting for them to tell me what they wanted.

"Ok, well that can wait," Jimin says, walking in past me excitedly.

"Celine Dion's done an interview... and she mentions you!" Taehyung exclaims excitedly, throwing himself on my couch, "come on, you have to see it".

I look at him not sure I believed him as I sat next to him. He had the video already pulled up on his phone. It was an interview with Celine Dion sitting in one chair, and an interviewer facing her in the typical interview style. A CBS logo was on the bottom right. He'd paused the video at what looked like roughly the halfway mark.

"So, changing the subject slightly," the interviewer said looking down at their notes, "you recently, in November 2017, performed with Y/N, a member of the K-pop supergroup BTS. I think to many of us it was a bit of a surprise. How did that come about?".

"Oh Y/N," Celine said smiling widely shaking her head as if remembering good memories, "Y/N is so amazing, isn't she?"

"She is, I think the whole world would agree with you right now that she is, but how did you too meet? I think we're all very curious about that," the interviewer repeats.

"We met for a Radio Canada interview since we're both from Québec and they wanted to do a story about that. She was so unbelievably kind and polite. Just such a cutie," Celine explained, "and I'd listened to some of her work before obviously to, you know, do my homework, and she has a phenomenal voice. She'd covered My Heart Will Go On and I wanted to see her perform it live, she was so nervous, she was so cute, but she did phenomenally. Then we met again at the BBMAs, and then I had my team reach out to set up a performance. But you know, she's so busy, especially living in Korea, but she worked so hard to make it work. She came like a week earlier than the AMAs to make it work. I really wanted us to share a stage because honestly, I've never been so confident and excited to share the stage with such a talent in a long time, so I'm really thankful she fit me into her schedule... So yeah, that's how it happened".

"Your relationship seemed to surprise a lot of people, given you both seem from such different walks of life," the interviewer says.

"I mean, I don't see why," Celine says nonchalantly, "we're both proud Québecers and she's such a kind, smart, talented, young woman. I honestly view her as my little sister. She truly deserves all the love she and her group's getting".

"Have you gone to Korea to see her?" the interviewer questions.
