[Showbiz] Unforgettable

Who is An Chaoyan?

2006: A girl who loves singing but has a fear of crowds.

2007: The least conspicuous member of Wonder Girls, one of the nation's hottest groups.

2008: On the rise, only to suffer a car accident and be forced to leave the group, leaving everyone sighing with regret.

2009: She makes her solo debut, reveals her talent, and writes a legend as the nation's little sister.

2010: The queen of OSTs in film and television.

2011: JYP's visual centerpiece and core member.

2012: The nation's little sister, and the girlfriend of Beast leader Yoon Doo-joon.

2013 onward: The world changes, and so do the titles attached to her. But two things will never change: she is a singer, and she is Yoon Doo-joon's girlfriend.

An Chaoyan's life has been far too eventful: dreaming of becoming a singer, fearing crowds, debuting, becoming a sensation, a car accident, fading from the spotlight, making a comeback, rising to fame, reaching the top alone, and becoming a legend.

The public never sees her clearly. They simply think of her as a legend in the music industry.

"I'm too stiff and awkward to act cute, and I don't know how to talk. I debuted when I was too young, and I didn't make many friends inside or outside the industry. Aside from music, I don't have many hobbies or interests. I don't like socializing or parties. I'm just an ordinary girl, as ordinary as they come."

She has a great voice, songwriting skills, striking looks, songs that are still sung to this day, and unparalleled popularity with the public. She has no scandals, no rumors, no messy private life, and no questions about her character. That's why her popularity and the public's affection for her have endured for years.

The only time she was thrust into the spotlight was in her sixth year after debut, when the media broke the news of her relationship with Yoon Doo-joon, Beast's leader and the nation's boyfriend.

As the outside world descended into chaos, she stayed silent for two months, then answered every question about their relationship in a handwritten letter.

An excerpt from the letter: "Why did I get together with him? I don't know either. We met seven years ago, but only decided to be together six years later. What is love? It's the time we've spent together. And what is time? It's the years we've been through side by side, and the decades we'll keep walking through together."

The heroine's backstory is rather over-the-top (at least, that's what the author thinks. After all, I'm her mom). The beginning is fairly realistic, even a little sad; later on, it's silly and sweet, with enough angst to torment every single person in the world.

The male lead is Beast leader Yoon Doo-joon. The male lead is Beast leader Yoon Doo-joon. The male lead is Beast leader Yoon Doo-joon! Important things have to be said three times!
