As I find myself amidst this lively group of idols and the production crew, in the beautiful setting of London, I can't help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness. The Heirs' Getaway program has brought us all together for this second season, and I still can't believe that I'm here as their translator. It's a dream come true for me as a longtime fan, but it's also a bit surreal. The line between work and leisure seems blurred, and I'm trying to navigate this unique experience.
Today, the boys are jet-lagged and exhausted from their long flight, so they convinced the production team and the company not to start filming immediately. The agreement was that tomorrow they'd have to tidy up and pretend to arrive at their accommodation, which is a few miles away from London. It's a nice break for them, and it gives me a chance to observe the dynamics within the group and the crew.
Among the crew, I find myself chatting with my co-worker, Sarah, who has more experience in this kind of production. She's been kind enough to show me the ropes and introduce me to everyone. We share a laugh over the surreal nature of this job, and it feels like we're being paid to be on holiday when the cameras are off. But when the cameras are on, it's a different story, with scripted activities and a more serious tone.

"It feels weird to be here. To take part in the production of this programme. I mean, for a long time I was the one behind the screen enjoying the simplicity of their lives and now...Now; I'm a part of it. And at that time, in a way, I thought it was really relaxing for them and for the crew. But then I got this job and I thought it was going to be harder, stricter. In a way, it's like being on vacation, but with cameras following every move they do when they decide it's time," I mused, sipping my beer.
Sarah chuckled. "In a way, I think you got the essence of it", she says laughing lightly, "But don't worry you'll get used to it, we all did. If it make it easier for you, just remember that you're lucky to be here, you know. Not a lot of people get the chance to experience this. Just have fun"

I guess she is right, I should not worry like that.

In the early evening, as the sun begins to set, the members emerge from their rooms to join us. They all looked a bit dishevelled from their naps, but their spirits were high. Beers were cracked open, toasts were made, and it kinda felt like a family gathering. For them, it's a celebratory atmosphere, marking the start of this new adventure. For me, it's both thrilling and intimidating. It's easy to see why they're adored by fans around the world. They're approachable and down-to-earth, despite their fame.

"So, Jake," Jiwoo says, raising his beer bottle, "Are you ready to conquer London?"
Jake chuckles, clinking his bottle with Jiwoo's. "Absolutely! It's good to back here. It fell a bit weird, but I've missed it a lot to be honest. And this time, we've got Kit to show us around, so everything is perfect"
