mina’s september heartz evaluation! (2/2)
performingrollercoasterby seolhwa (chungha)

there are many interpretations to “rollercoaster”, but one thing is for certain is that this song is about love. back when this was first released, mina didn’t pay as much attention to the lyrics as she had to now. but now that she decided to perform this song for her evaluation, she had to think about how she could get herself into the mindset. 

while her main reason for choosing this song was because of how funandbright the song was, compared to what seolhwa would release in the future, she found more reasons to loving the song every time she looked at the lyrics and danced to the song. while she loved the independent nature that the heartz’s group evaluation song had, mina definitely could not deny that she’s a bit of a hopeless romantic. maybe not so much hopeless anymore, considering the fact that she actually has a boyfriend now, but her feelings for the other definitely come through as she performs the song to her coaches. 

mina isn’t public about her relationship. if she was, she wouldn’t even be in this dance studio right now. she’s definitely told chungha about it when the other caught her smiling at her phone while in their shared bedroom. she obviously told daniel because it’s daniel. if she kept any more secrets from him after the secret about being casted, she knows that she’ll feel guilty about it. but besides those few, mina hasn’t told anyone else about them. 

so when she sings this song with him in mind, no one else can know as to why she puts her heart into the performance. the thrill of having butterflies in her stomach feeling similar to that as reaching the top before taking the fall. the experience of these feelings similar to that uncertainty on when the drop comes. and the rush of adrenaline as she confesses her feelings, similar to the feeling of finally reaching the fall. 

and every kiss restates the same four words that make her feel an overload of happiness. “i like you, too” is essentially the moment she realizes that she wants to ride an exciting rollercoaster again. so that she can feel the happiness and butterflies she had felt the first time with every interaction with him. 

but she gets her cool moment in the dance, too. she doesn’t completely portray herself as overfilled with love. “look,” with a wink 

and with that, she ends her evaluation with a bow and a big smile, feeling more satisfied with this performance than the last.
