park jeong eon - <though the day was gray, everything was clear>

chapter: <blue night>

( tw for mention of dec. 18, grief )

      there are times when i’m lying in bed with my eyes closed that the image of <blue night> comes to mind. maybe it’s because i usually go to sleep just before or after midnight, which was around the time that <blue night> would begin. perhaps my memories are reacting to the time of day.

      the scenes i picture are usually in chronological order. ten minutes before the start of broadcast, if we had a bit of time to spare we’d sit in a circle together in the studio and chatter away eating gummy bears. the studio across from us would be in the midst of airing <dreaming radio> live.

      after reading the opening, the first song goes out. after that, it’s time to listen to the song that the dj picked. it couldn’t have been easy to bring a new song each day, but there wasn’t a single time that he brought something offhandedly. there were many songs that he went through the trouble of selecting that we couldn’t even play, because they weren’t cleared for broadcasting. the song he chose most often and always sang along to was stevie wonder’s <ribbon in the sky>. it isn’t a short song, but it goes by in the blink of an eye.

      12:40. the weekly corner begins and the guests enter with greetings. the atmosphere transforms at once. after an hour of noisy, boisterous chatting, it’s 1:40. the people who’d entered before leave one by one. we bid them farewell and close the studio; the door shuts with a massive, heavy thud. the digital clock that shows the remaining time for broadcast now displays ’20 minutes.’

      he reads a quiet, calm essay. he cries easily, so sometimes he tears up while reading listener’s stories. the view outside the window, which had already been dark before, darkens completely to black and the surroundings become silent.

      as the song plays, i pull up the blinds and look around the roads, but they’re completely deserted. even the lights that had been on in some stores here and there have vanished. at the time the outside world has fallen into a deep slumber, the scene of the studio at 1:40 am is appropriately tiring, yet peaceful.

      after hearing the unbelievable news of his passing, i find myself often picturing the studio of 1:40 am. though i can’t do anything about it here and now, someday, if i can travel back in time, it’s a moment i absolutely want to find my way back to.

      midnight, today, the same time arrives without fail. whenever i have trouble falling asleep, i sometimes imagine. the doors of the studio open and a dj wearing a hat pulled down low hums to a song and plops down in his chair. he will start the opening, matched with a familiar tune. just as he guarded his place without leaving it, for such a very long time.

      my first dj will exist just like this, somewhere still.

      in the small and cozy studio that i remember, he will forever.

park jeong eon excerpt from her book of essays, <날은 흐려도 모든것이 진했던> (though the day was gray, everything was clear) * published 04.26.2019

* t/n - park jeong eon is a pd for mbc radio. blue night was her debut program. the book’s title is a bit hard to translate with its full meaning. she uses the word ‘흐리다’ in the context of weather, which means cloudy/gray, but also plays on its meaning of blurry/unclear. ‘진하다’ can be used to describe something deep/dark/strong usually in terms of colours and taste. she’s saying the day may have been gray/blurry, but everything else (e.g. her senses, memories) was deep/prominent in contrast.
