Celebrity Life Misunderstood as a Genius

[7] Girl group debut (3)

It was difficult for Luna members to humbly accept the current situation.

Because it was always the best.

Because everyone acknowledged it.

No one in the company ever doubted their success.

No, at least one manager said that Solar would rise more.

“Oh my God, the reporter here has completely closed his coffin.”

“Ugh, that’s too much.”

“Therefore.”

For a rookie girl group, the start wasn’t too bad.

It entered the charts moderately, and attracted moderate reactions.

It was just slowly forgotten by the public during the period of 15 days.

There was no need for a grandiose reason for an idol group to fail.

“Sia unni, did you see the article posted on the group chat room? Isn’t it really too much?”

“Well. Didn’t see anything wrong with reading it?”

“Oh, cool. After all, not everyone is a star.”

“Ah, what.”

The members admired Ryu Shia, who was determined as if nothing had happened.

“Are you okay with my sister? She already raved about the music charts.”

“We’re not ruined yet. It’s just our 1st single.”

“Wow, as expected, you are amazing. How can you be so calm?”

“Just what.”

For the Luna members, the presence of a leader was more than a spiritual pillar.

Provocative gestures and confident vibes.

Since her trainee days, Xia Liu has already been an idol.

Even when she received an unexpected report card, she still maintained her self-confidence.

“Sister, what shall we have for lunch today?”

“I brought a salad.”

“Daebak, are you taking care of yourself in the midst of this?”

“It’s just a habit.”

“My sister really admits it.”

The members felt a sense of security when they saw the leader with a soft smile.

However, it is ambiguous to say that it is completely ruined.

It just felt like starting all over again.

If it wasn’t for Lucia, I probably wouldn’t have been able to look forward to the next opportunity.

“We’ll eat then.”

“Yes!”

The members did not stop praising the leader even on the way to dinner.

“You really need to know my older sister’s mentality.”

“It’s so cool.”

“I don’t even feel jealous.”

“But what are you eating today?”

“I’m sushi.”

Rattle-

Sia saw her members disappear and she rattled her teeth.

She tried to pretend nothing was wrong, but she couldn’t find an answer.

“aaa. What should I do…?”

She panicked and chewed on her manicured nails.

The title of longest serving trainee.

I got on the last train of a girl group and got kicked.

Even though she believed that there would be absolutely nothing wrong with the company.

“Ugh, is there another chance?”

Then what if I fail again?

How is your trainee life that changed your school days?

How much did you say the loan for your mom’s shop was?

Bad delusions that hadn’t even happened yet filled her head.

Drooling-

Just then, the door opened and someone entered the practice room.

“Oh, Shia hasn’t gone to dinner yet?”

“Yes. Teacher!hehehe.”

Sia smiled and continued the conversation with her vocal trainer.

“What are you doing here?”

“Hey, do you have any schedules today?”

“Um, there was, but it was canceled.”

“Sia, you take good care of the members. You’ll be fine though.”

“Do not worry!”

“I’m so glad you’re here in Luna.”

“Ah, fortunately.”

The vocal trainer smiled broadly and praised Ryusia.

Of course, without checking her trembling legs.

“How are you so mentally strong? Maybe it’s because you’re good at it.”

“Am I?”

“Yes. Members should learn to be confident like that.”

“Ah, no.”

On the contrary, Ryushia felt like grabbing at least a straw.

What song will you sing?

What kind of choreography should she learn?

What photos will you post on social media today?

If only I could meet a producer who would tell me the correct answer from one to ten.

Then she was willing to blindly believe in me even if I said that I made fermented soybeans with red beans.

Drooling-

Just then, the door to the practice room opened and someone suddenly poked their head out.

“Eh, I was going to see you here.”

“… Manager Jung Soo-ho?”

“The Solar members said they would come down on time.”

“I haven’t come yet.”

“hahahaha, I’ll have to unlock my phone soon.”

“…”

His face passed through Ryusia’s transparent pupils.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her until the door closed.

“Sir, he just happened to be.”

“Yes?”

She opened her mouth softly, her eyes twinkling.

“You were the first to expect us to fail, right?”

“Ah, I never said it was ruined.”

“I heard that Solar, not Luna, always floats, in front of the chief.”

“… Not to that extent.”

The only person in the company who rated Solar higher than Luna.

Manager Jung Soo-ho, who has been working as a load of Solar for a while now.

Except for him, no one expected Luna’s failure.

Even, I heard that he figured out the drug case in advance and escaped the crisis.

‘If the…’

If Solar succeeds by breaking everyone’s expectations.

At that time, I couldn’t really dismiss it as a coincidence.

* * *

Q&G label is not a large agency.

A small and medium-sized production company that was forcibly sold to Dream Agency because of capital.

At least, I was able to make a living by raising one boy group well.

This was my first time raising a girl group.

And that’s because he dared to split the 9 trainees into two teams.

‘…So did it fail?’

Honestly, I’m still not sure why Luna got screwed.

Weren’t you talented enough to top the music charts in just 15 days?

“Chief, thank you for your hard work.”

“You did a good job too.”

A supporting actor quietly buried in the flood of countless girl groups.

Luna, who looked perfect in my eyes, was just there.

“hahahaha, I want a cigarette.”

“…”

It was the darkest of all the facial expressions of Team Leader Park I have seen so far.

Maybe it was because I had such high expectations that I was very disappointed.

‘Really, why did it fail?’

That means that the competition in the idol market is fierce these days.

They seemed like a tier 1 group with no reason to fail.

Inside the company, it was analyzed that the reaction would have been good if Ryusia was put forward as one top.

There was no guarantee that it would come out if it proceeded like that.

What’s the point of analyzing the cause after it’s already ruined?

‘If Luna is ruined…’

What about our Solar kids?

Shall we start studying now?

“Suho, let’s smoke a cigarette.”

“Ah yes.”

I immediately went up to the roof with the team leader and lit a lighter.

“Huh, take care of Solara too. He said he was in the choreography practice room all day today.”

“Yes. That’s why the schedule has been pushed back one by one.”

“They are friends who take a little longer to learn.”

“…”

So I think it’s going to fail.

“Did you meet Lucia today?”

“Yes. By chance.”

That friend was still confident and cool.

A firm conviction that one day she will surely succeed.

‘I don’t think he’s nervous at all.’

Because no one can replace the charm that comes from her cool confidence.

Whether it’s skill or charm, if you have a corner to believe in, there’s no reason to be anxious.

“I think Lucia will come out someday.”

“Of course.”

If I said that I was going to float, she would have ruined everything.

After all, her confidence was the best of her rookies.

“Even if Ryu Shia is released as a solo artist, she will rise someday.”

“It seemed so.”

“By the way, what will Chief Gong do now?”

“Yeah?”

“The failure this time is too big.”

“…”

As a result of the company’s analysis, it was an obvious mistake by Gong Se-won.

The public wanted attractive members, not teamwork.

It was because she couldn’t use the talent of Ryu Shia properly and went bankrupt.

Raising a girl group was not a problem that could easily be passed over in a market where there was billions of voices.

“It’s a gold spoon anyway.”

“You were sold to Dream Agency. It would be difficult to avoid responsibility, whether it’s a golden spoon or something.”

“Are you the CEO’s son?”

“That’s right.”

“… Envy.”

Q&G Enter was a company founded by Queen and Mr. Gong.

He naturally expected it to be one of his family.

“I don’t think there will be anything to cut.”

“Luna and Solar. You tried to float one of them.”

“Yeah, what…”

Do you want to push Solar a little more now?

Artist 2 Headquarters’ girl group project is not over yet.

In fact, it was before I even started properly from the standpoint of being in charge of Solar.

“You’ll have to listen to it at today’s meeting, but the solar concept will change a bit.”

“Yeah?”

“Like the clothes and the world view.”

“Oh that.”

Originally, I pushed forward with a world view of moonlight and sunlight.

In fact, I forgot because it was a concept focused on Luna.

“Even if the debut group is confirmed, the end-of-month evaluation for this month is really important.”

“Everyone knows the song. The dance will come soon…”

“No, not that much anymore.”

“Yeah?”

The company started to pay attention to the Solar members, which was not there.

Little by little, my jinx, which I had been ignoring, was coming true.

“Perhaps the CEO will personally attend the end-of-month evaluation.”

“Ah, no way.”

“The rumor says yes.”

In the meantime, I was in charge of producing all girl groups as the head of the 2nd artist division.

Although already Luna almost failed.

It’s because Solar didn’t scratch the lottery ticket.

“You’re just good at taking care of Solar’s kids.”

“Chief, it’s just a simple question.”

“What question.”

Soon after, I carefully confided the question in my heart.

“… Can Solar float? Luna is also ruined.”

“You trusted me the hardest.”

“No.”

I would have been the least trusted in the company.

“Trust your senses this time.”

“?”

* * *

Next day.

After receiving the costumes and concept details, I headed to the practice room.

‘Isn’t that so unconventional?’

Originally, the idol worldview was a bit childish.

A worldview that appeals to the community and trend-setting teenagers.

It was an intuitive concept that could never be forgotten just by looking at it once.

“You guys have become sun gods.”

“?”

Sun Priest, Mage, Archer, Knight, Barbarian.

It was an absurd concept that only appeared in games.

Solar members opened their mouths while checking the outfit photos.

In particular, the second stared at the photo with a firm expression.

“Uh, um… Something is cryptic.”

“Awesome! Look how shiny the costume is. Is it really the sun god?”

“If you go with this concept, you’ll be ruined. 100 percent.”

“… Right?”

I finally found someone with the same opinion as me.

For the first time, Solar’s maknae spit out the same thoughts as me.

Although she had a hunch that she was damned even though this wasn’t the concept.

“Somi, you’re ruined! You can’t use such words!”

“Sister, I was bullied at school.”

“Uh huh.”

It’s fortunate if it rises, but if it fails, it will remain a dark history for the rest of its life.

“Manager brother, why am I the only barbarian?”

“I guess that’s all there is to it.”

“I want to be an archer and give Juhee unni a barbaric warrior.”

“Did the representative decide?”

“This is all. I also order cool things.”

“No. Go back.”

If you’re still in middle school, you’re at an age where you can’t even get out of puberty.

To wear a sun goddess costume and promote as an idol.

Jammin fighting.

The concept is fleeting.

“Manager, I’m sorry. Somi isn’t like that.”

“No, because I understand.”

Something doesn’t suit Yeji’s face.

Somi will have to work a little harder.

“Anyway, you guys make abs now.”

“Yeah?”

“Abs.”

In an instant, the members’ expressions darkened overall.

If you look at the concept photos, it’s almost like a body profile.

“Your name is a goddess, but shouldn’t you have humanity?”

“Only a month?”

“No, fortnight.”

“…”

Even now, everyone is dry, so I think I can only drink water.

Originally, abs are mainly made through starvation, not exercise.

“This month-end evaluation is the last evaluation before debut. You know what I mean?”

“I already have abs, brother.”

“… You shorten it a bit.”

Joo-hee put something in the bucket and shook it.

Even if it bothered me a little, I just tried not to pay attention.

“Yang Joo-hee, protein confiscated for 3 weeks.”

“Oh, why?”

“I just feel bad.”

Where is the goddess with a muscular body in Greek and Roman mythology?

“Hey, Manager. Who created this concept?”

“Yes?”

The second, who had a cool expression from earlier, finally opened his mouth.

Even at first glance, I could feel that it was bubbling inside.

“What’s wrong, don’t you like it?”

“Of course. Luna didn’t have anything like this.”

“There was.”

“It was much weaker. There’s no comparison.”

“…”

Why do you do that to me

I didn’t even make it.

“Eunseo, don’t do that.”

“Sister, stay. You have to argue. This is discrimination.”

“…”

Another angle, another angle—

At that moment, the door to the practice room opened and someone appeared.

“Uh… What?”

“Dae, CEO!”

“Hello!”

Queen, one of the co-representatives of Q&G label.

She is still an actress and singer who continues to live up to her reputation.

“Ego, did I get the timing wrong?”

“No, not at all!”

“Hmm.”

Soon after, CEO Seo Yeon-jung stared at Jang Eun-seo and quietly opened her mouth.

“I came up with that concept, but I guess it wasn’t very good.”

“Oh, no. It’s not like that…”

“If not?”

“I really like it! Thank you very much, CEO!”

“Really? Then it’s good. Ho-ho.”

Second, we are good at anger management.
