[51] Advance preparation (3)

Accommodation in traditional Japanese tatami rooms.

I had a conversation with a junior who shared a room with me.

I don’t know how I became friends with the urinal villain.

“Jihoon-ah, congratulations on successfully completing your debut project.”

“Thank you. Senior.”

<Escape Room Maze> Finished filming recently

.

At the end, the eliminated performers participated as guests.

“Somi actually made all of Louispin’s championships.”

“I know.”

“Somi is a genius!”

“…”

Somi helped Louis Fang by finding her way to win in all her games.

If it hadn’t been for the horror special in the previous episode, she would have won, of course.

“Did Somi really master Japanese in two weeks?”

“Oh, I couldn’t say a word.”

“… He’s a real genius.”

“Yeah, what.”

Kim Ji-hoon looked at me with burdensome eyes and said.

“Senior, take care of me as a school junior… Thank you so much!”

“Me? Take care of something?”

“It’s Somi’s appearance. Thanks to that, the broadcast came out.”

“…”

I was just following the guts.

“Yes. Let’s work hard on this shoot too.”

“Yep!”

I spent time having small conversations with my juniors.

Originally, when I was in school, I didn’t even say hello.

“How did you become an entertainment producer?”

“Actually, my goal was to become a drama director at first. I also studied directing.”

“Yes?”

“But he started doing chores when he was the youngest.”

“…”

The chores are my main job.

“So I first joined as an entertainment producer. I have a good academic background and specifications.”

“That’s right.”

At one time, I joined a dream agency as a planning part for a large company.

I was in management for about 3 years and was planning to move to the planning team.

“But how come I’m working in Nice?”

“Ah, but you raised Solar alone.”

“It’s just what kids are good at.”

Anyway, I checked my schedule in Japan.

I rearranged the schedule that I had planned in advance.

“Did you say you were busking on the street today?”

“Yes. With the money I received from busking, I can use my pocket money when traveling freely.”

“OK.”

I got my work visa in advance because of my appearance on variety shows.

“So, are you preparing for busking now?”

“Sure. You can go to Shibuya right away.”

Because it is not well known in Japan.

Rather, it would be nice to refresh.

“How do you distribute the songs if you divide them into two teams?”

“First of all, the song I wrote in Top Idol…”

“The kids have been practicing singing the Queen’s title song lately. Be the One.”

“Oh, is that good?”

“Because you don’t know, control your surroundings well.”

“Yes. Senior.”

But you can’t sing a new song at busking.

“I want to make money through busking so I can go shopping and give them free time to travel.”

“Yes, tomorrow Luna will come to Japan too. As a guest.”

“Yes. I checked.”

Roughly tomorrow, hot springs and light fireworks.

Because of filming, I deliberately set a loose schedule.

“Because shooting a Fuji TV variety show tomorrow is the most important thing.”

“Tomokumiyo? It was really hard to keep the schedule.”

“Great job.”

Will they succeed in advancing into Japan, starting with their appearances on variety shows?

Then, is it the right answer to continue promoting overseas?

‘I’ll find out sooner or later.’

Everything follows the flow of the poop, as naturally as water flows.

Drooling-

I came out of my room and knocked on the door of the female staff room.

“It’s Jiyu.”

“Yes, brother! Wait!”

“Come out slowly.”

Soon after, I shared my schedule with JiU coming out of the room.

“Today, during our free trip, we will split the members into two or three.”

“Are you going to start with the busking team?”

“Yeah. Before we go to Shibuya, we’ll split into two teams.”

“How will you share?”

“As I like.”

Yeji is the main vocalist, and Somi is the subvocalist.

Can’t you see how to build a team roughly?

* * *

Yeji looked at the three members with a sullen expression.

Members of other teams preparing for the busking stage.

<Top Idol>

It was the three of them who made it to the final stage.

“Eunseo, is this team balanced?”

“It’s a team of two or three, so this is right.”

“… Even on a free trip, then we’ll be together like this.”

“Are you jealous of Team Somi? I speak Japanese well.”

“…”

It’s not because of that.

“My sister!!!”

At that time, Jiyu screamed loudly and ran at one step.

She got a drink from the manager she will be with all day today.

“Drink this and get ready.”

“Thanks.”

Yeji stared blankly at the three-member team, as if envious.

In particular, team leader Jung Soo-ho, who takes care of Somi’s condition.

“Somi, drink this.”

“I hate using this.”

“Use everything that is good for your body.”

“Hmm.”

I’m so jealous.

Why do you envy me

“Somi, you’re the only vocalist in this team, you know?”

“Aung, I have to carry again.”

“Don’t tell me, do you know how hard it is for me to drop you out of school?”

“I know, I know.”

The youngest frowning while drinking red ginseng drinks.

Yeji stared at him and pursed her lips.

‘… I like red ginseng, too.’

Soon after, Jiyu spoke quietly from the side.

“Sister, shall we buy a red ginseng drink?”

“No it’s okay.”

“I’ll buy it!”

“No, it’s really fine.”

At that time, some Korean tourists recognized her Sola and screamed.

“Wow Solada!!”

“Awesome, look at busking.”

“Crazy.”

Yeji smiled at the fans and shook his hand.

“I love you sister!”

“So pretty!”

Soon after, the team of manager Jeong Su-ho starts the busking stage.

<Top Idol>

The last stage was reproduced on the streets of Japan.

“Singing for my love…”

A pre-arranged version by Diana for acoustic.

Harmony that goes well with Somi’s calm voice.

‘Chief Jeong Soo-ho…’

Today, I carefully watched the members with a serious expression.

There is something I realized after watching him for almost a year.

Jeong Su-ho’s expression gets more serious the better the stage is.

‘… He must have been very satisfied.’

If you scratch the back of your head like that, it’s proof that you’re perfect.

Live stage on the street.

The song of the front team has reached the end.

The soft music and the warm atmosphere of the street strangely harmonized.

After the stage, the locals raised their thumbs and blew whistles.

After a while, it was Yeji and Eunseo’s turn.

The Queen’s <Be the One>

Was sung in an acoustic arranged version.

The representative was a singer who was known to some extent in Japan.

“Take my hands. Take my red lip…”

I sang it with the most sweet tone and heartfelt sensibility.

Soon, I slightly turned my gaze and looked at Team Leader Jeong’s expression.

‘Ah, ah…’

A broad smile and a nod of the head.

The more I can’t do it, the more encouraging it is.

As expected, the explosive reaction from the previous stage did not come out.

“… Thanks.”

Due to the nature of the street stage, the opposing team with added performances had an advantage.

“The money I earned today from busking is…”

“Yeji Kim’s team is around 20,000 yen, Yang Joo-hee’s team is 43,000 yen.”

“Okay, I won!”

Allowance money that can be spent on free travel today.

Originally, it was planned that each team would go separately.

“Somi, would you like to come with us?”

“Huh? We have 43,000 yen? More than double.”

“Oh, between us.”

“Hmm… I’ll think about it if you show me aegyo.”

“Ah.”

The three members are laughing with mischievous eyes.

Yeji slightly turned her gaze to look at team leader Jeong Soo-ho.

‘… Let’s wait.’

Is it difficult to act cute in front of the maknae?

If you endure it once, we can go together.

“Whoa… Ppuing ppuing.”

“Wow, this was filmed, right? Unni was acting cute on me!”

“…”

He suffered shame and left a dark history.

Still, I want to go on a trip with you.

“Sister, did you really want to hang out with us?”

“Of course.”

“Okay, then Eunseo unnie too…”

“… Wanna die?”

“No, let’s go together.”

Oh, was it okay to say that?

You were flirting with the maknae for no reason.

“Manager!”

Yeji called out to Suho with bright eyes.

“Then, are we all free to travel together?”

“No, I have a meeting with the Fuji TV producer.”

“Ah.”

I feel like I’ve lost something terribly.

* * *

Fuji TV’s strongest weapon is entertainment and variety.

It raised viewership ratings with entertainment programs in a good format.

– If it’s not fun, it’s not TV.

Since the motto of broadcasting has been optimized for entertainment.

Numerous world stars have visited this place to promote their movies or albums.

“Hello!”

“Hello.”

A meeting room of Fuji TV.

I spoke with Shimaken PD through an interpreter.

“PD-nim, you speak Korean very well.”

“I studied at ten o’clock.”

We gave a light thanks and went straight to a meeting about broadcasting.

“The year before last, CEO Seo Yeon-jung also appeared on the show…”

“Yes. I searched.”

<Tomokumi>

, Talk entertainment program with guests.

It was a broadcast composed of MCs and panels, a total of 8 uncles.

“I was looking for what TV program Tomokumi was on.”

“Oh, is it?”

“With moderate popularity, even Japanese celebrities can’t come out…”

“hahahaha. That’s right.”

It was a good opportunity for Solar, who is not well known in Japan.

If there’s just one thing that’s bothering you.

Due to the nature of broadcasting, there is no script.

“The panelists never know what guests are coming.”

“Yes. I heard.”

Solar members sometimes seem like idiots.

I was worried that Eunseo or Diana would make a sudden leap.

“Don’t worry, they’re all veteran MCs.”

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

After that, I received the appearance contract and checked it with my own eyes.

I’ve already read it, but I checked carefully to see if anything has changed.

‘As expected, I really like Fay.’

Fuji TV was famous as a station where long-running programs dominated for a long time.

Especially <Tomokumi>

Was one of the top 3 most popular entertainment shows.

‘Exactly…’

The Japanese broadcasting market must be big.

In Korea, entertainment doesn’t make money.

“The contract is fine, right?”

“Yes. PD.”

<Tomokumi>

Is an influential program in Japan.

It was a different matter whether most of the viewers were favorable to foreign celebrities.

Originally, it is a broadcast with good ratings.

If it comes out sluggishly in this episode.

‘The entry into Japan will really come to an end.’

So regardless of my instincts, the members needed to work hard.

Our members, don’t we have individual skills that we have honed and polished over the years?

That evening.

I called the members and held a light meeting.

Read at readwn.com

Kim Ji-hoon and the camera director followed, of course.

The other side must be picking up reality entertainment scenes on their own.

“Did everyone enjoy the free trip today?”

“Yes! Nobody recognizes me!”

Various gifts and food piled up in one corner.

It seems that all the nearby souvenir shops have been wandering around.

“Joo-hee unnie, did you have fun today?”

“Yeah. It’s very comfortable to walk around with your face exposed.”

“… I’m sorry.”

Eunseo patted Juhee on the shoulder and smiled.

“Did I know a lot?”

“Oh, well…”

The craze for Korean Wave dramas also worked in Japan.

I find popular dramas and watch them somehow.

“That’s right. Looking at it.”

Yang Joo-hee thought for a moment and then opened her mouth again.

“A little while ago, I also recognized her.

“Yangzhu don’t lie.”

“Really? I swear on 300 grams of my muscle.”

“… Will you cut it?”

“Stop.”

Friends of the same age who fight needlessly.

He quieted the two of them and spoke again.

“Take each of your individual skills.”

“Individual?”

If the personal skill reaction is good, the PD will edit it well.

Then you go out pretty and lovely on TV.

“I don’t like my image when I show off that I’m here to promote a new song.”

“Hmm.”

It’s not Korea, it’s Japan, so I was much more cautious.

If you have a bad image, you won’t be able to do activities in Japan forever.

“I will sing.”

“Am I dancing?”

“I am…”

No, guys, that’s not a personal skill.

“Today, go through me one by one and grow up.”

“Ah, our hot spring…”

“I bought a lot of fireworks too!”

“Yes. No, go back.”

Still, Yeji’s eyes were overflowing with fighting spirit.

“I’m going to imitate Japanese anime vocal cords.”

“Oh, how are you?”

“Wow, what a pretty sister!”

“Who’s the voice imitator?”

“That crayon-chan…”

“Let’s practice again.”

“Yes.”

* * *

MC Tanaka received a simple script and headed to the set.

A broadcast where you don’t even know who the guest is.

The script had to be limited.

“Tanaka-san, are you here?”

I chatted with other panelists and had light conversations.

“Today’s guest must be a Korean idol.”

“Eh? Are you sure?”

“So, how many years has Chamba been?”

I was able to figure it out just by looking at half of the script.

Are you an idol or a solo singer?

Is it Japanese or Korean?

“Ehh, then today’s broadcast was also aired. Korean idols manage their image too much.”

“Why? It’s cute and nice.”

“All K-pop idols have artist disease.”

“… That’s.”

Even if you say this, you will try to save as much as possible when you go on the air.

“I admit it honestly.”

Unlike Korea, most idol groups in Japan were not recognized as ‘singers’.

Instead, everyone appealed for their cute and lovely charms as much as possible.

He had to develop a strong competitive edge rather than dancing and singing.

“I wonder if there are any members who can speak Japanese.”

“The basic conversation must have been prepared.”

“I do not know.”

Soon, the MC and other panels headed to the set.

I exchanged autographs with Shimaken producer and camera director.

“I’ll slate!”

Just-! A broadcast that starts with sound.

The talk was conducted with the MC as the center.

“Tanaka-san, I’m curious about today’s guest.”

“Me too.”

“Ha, there are rumors that you know in advance.”

“Who is it?”

“It’s definitely a K-pop idol…!”

“It’s just a feeling.”

Following the repertoire of guessing the guest coming out today.

“Now then, today’s guest is…!”

The door opened, and five girls vigorously greeted them.

“Two three, Konnichiwa! Watashitachi and Solades.”

Foreign guests are also very good at greeting.

I just want you to do basic conversation.

“Hi, should I call an interpreter…”

That friend is starting again.

If only foreigners come out, give me a pick.

“Looks like everyone just prepared greetings…”

“… No.”

In an instant, a girl answered with fluent Japanese.

“I’m good at Japanese.”

“Ah, hmm. One of them must have lived in Japan for a long time.”

“No.”

Somi shrugs and opens her mouth.

“Is this your first time coming to Japan?”

“Uso!”

“I’m not lying.”

Afterwards, the panelists intensively asked Somi questions.

“Ah, you were the main character of a Korean zombie video!?”

“Ah, that’s…”

“Oh, I think I saw Yang Joo-hee.”

“Where?”

“I won the male champion in Korea’s sumo!”

“I think I saw it on You Tube too.”

Every time Solar’s members introduce themselves one by one.

The panelists pulled out a scene from their memories.

“Oh, chaebol family getting married! It must have been Jang Eun-seo!”

“Did you see that?”

“Of course! There are subtitles.”

“Illegal downloader…?”

“Ah.”

MC Tanaka smiled strangely while looking at the members.

It definitely feels different from the K-pop idols I’ve experienced so far.

‘Wouldn’t it be nice to broadcast?’
