*This article contains spoilers. tvNTV Series "Jeongyeon: A Star is Born" EP9 (viewership rating 12.0%) is about Jeongyeon searching for a way to cure her sore throat.
The story depicts Kim TaeRi. Unable to accept that her throat had become damaged, Jongnyong went around the country searching for famous doctors, asking, "How can I fix my damaged throat?
"Just don't accept it," he said. I pleaded, "I came from far away because I heard it was a great place, didn't I? I came here as a last resort, so please teach me anything I can."
The doctor said, "Maybe we should make a decoction of poppy seeds and drink it," to which Jeongyeon replied, "Isn't that opium?" He replied, "I've heard that if you drink opium, your throat will feel better."
"Don't you have anything to do with that?" he said irresponsibly. "If you do that, you'll end up addicted to opium..." Jongnyong said, snorting, "You're grasping at straws, aren't you?"
He was laughed at and ended up giving her some poppies. Jeongyeong hesitated for a while and was unable to eat the poppy decoction. Sobok (Ra Mi Ran), who witnessed this, said, "You're relying on opium, aren't you?
"There are many singers whose lives have been ruined. Do you have any plans to come back? How long will you keep denying that your voice is damaged and saying you're going to die?" he said, frustrated.
Jonghyun said, "For a singer, admitting that their voice has deteriorated is the same as telling them to die. You know that very well. I don't know how to do it.
"This is how it is now, but I can cure my throat," she said in a tearful voice. Sobok said, "Come with me to the hospital tomorrow. I heard that a famous doctor who studied in America has come to Korea. I hope you can find some hope."
If you tell me there is hope, I'll wait for you for years. But if you tell me there is no hope, then you have to accept your reality."
