Fame or Fortune - Choi Beomgyu

February 2023

Galaxy is filming a 'behind the scenes' video of them preparing for their next comeback with the song 'Hot Rod' (Dayglow). The song gets about 100k streams in the first month which isn't huge but Youngie still makes sure to message Beomgyu to brag about it.

In the video, the members get solo parts where they can film whatever they want and Hayoung, the acoustic guitarist, lets fans know that she can play the harp.

"It's not often that I'm around harps, but whenever I am, I just have to show off. I wish they could incorporate it into one of our songs." Hayoung says, softly touching the strings causing beautiful sounds to follow.

"Well considering they don't even put piano parts into every song I doubt it." Youngie says, giving a half smile to the older.

It was well known by fans that when every song includes the drums, keeping Woori busy, and guitar melodies, keeping Jia and Hayoung busy, they fail to always add keyboard parts, leaving Youngie to just stand awkwardly until she gets the chance to sing backing vocals.

Youngie finally gets the camera for her solo shot.

"Well starlights, I have an unusual hobby to show you today! I make candles! I buy all the wax and small molds online and put everything into glass jars that I find. I also collect scents to add to the candles!" Youngie puts on gloves and heats up pink wax, stirring it around. "I'm gonna make this one smell like... strawberries!"

"This is like the coolest hobby ever." Jia says admiring her friend at work.

"Yup! Hey maybe I could make a candle for all our fans at our next show! What is that, like 50?" Jia hears the number that comes out of Youngie's mouth and excuses herself. She finds a small quiet room and let's the tears pour from her eyes. Of course she was happy with the fans she had, but the number isn't what she envisioned after her five hard years of training. Was it because their company didn't care? Or that they act more as coworkers than friends considering Mi-sun was always mean and Woori was sometimes distant? She just didn't understand.
