The Skill of an Idol That Never Fails

178 episodes

Manager Kang Young-ho said he wanted to hear what Ki-moon Choi would suggest.

After that, I had a lot of free time, so I picked up the remote control and said.

“You should watch my favorite video.”

“Oh, stop watching.”

After realizing it, Park Seon-jae took his cell phone. Then Shin Ji-woon took it again and raised his hand to avoid giving it away, but the remote control reached the ceiling with plenty of room. Park Seon-jae looked up and said.

“Wow. Brother, you are now over one hundred and ninety.”

“It didn’t go over.”

“Why do you hate being over one hundred and ninety?”

“If it’s too big, it doesn’t look like a puppy.”

At those words, Min Ji-ho, who was eating cereal with Han Hyo-seok, said.

“Even though he is petite, he doesn’t look like a puppy!”

“What do you know about dogs? And you diet, huh? If you’re going to eat a bowl of cereal, you’d better eat rice, just.”

“It’s okay to eat with low-fat milk, Hyosik.”

“Han Hyo-sik eats a lot, these days.”

At Shin Ji-woon’s point, Han Hyo-seok seemed a little bit irritated.

Shin Ji-woon threw the remote control at me, so I quickly found my favorite video and played it.

“Oh really. Why the hell are you looking at me?”

Park Seon-jae was distressed, but as soon as I played the video, the members gathered. It was a video of Park Seon-jae participating in the 2014 Creative Children’s Song Festival. At the age of eight, chubby Sunjae Park came up on stage.

“Hello, I’m Seonjae Park, an 8-year-old who likes to observe plants.”

I watched the video too many times, so the members almost reflexively imitated it. Park Seon-jae gave up and sat next to me and started watching the video together.

“Yes, what kind of plants does Park Seon-jae like?”

As Min Ji-ho spoke, Shin Ji-woon spoke next to him.

“I like morning glory the most among plants… … Hey, why is it a morning glory?”

Then, Park Seon-jae took a deep breath and responded.

“At that time, I probably grew morning glory? like homework. No, but don’t pay any attention to this, and pay attention to something else.”

While Park Seon-jae was grumbling, the agitation was about to start, but Min Ji-ho pressed pause for a moment and said.

“Who is taking the picture? I got all the choreography.”

And when I motioned for Han Hyo-seok to come out, Han Hyo-seok resigned and got up, knowing that not doing so is more tiring. Anyway, seeing that they choreograph nursery rhymes together, he is also an idol to the bone.

Joo-Won Ahn and Ji-Woon Shin took the picture with their cell phones, and Sae-byeok Hwang, who had no strength to hold a cell phone, played an important role in pressing play with the remote control.

As soon as the nursery rhyme and morning glory started, the villains started choreography.

“Purple, pretty flowers, flowers I planted with my grandmother.”

In the middle, Min Ji-ho urged them, and in the end, Park Seon-jae reluctantly danced together.

“But good.”

“It’s kind of cool to see you being passionate about it.”

I also agreed with Hwang Sae-byeok’s words.

After the stage was completely over, we watched all the videos and decided to upload my best shot on the X bus. Of course, Park Seon-jae objected, but by a majority vote, the victory was overwhelmingly 5-2.

Han Hyo-seok took the side of Park Seon-jae, but it didn’t seem to matter much if he uploaded it.

As expected, the response was good.

[Why are you really bothering the youngest like this hahahaahaha

[While dancing, something else is applied]

[Look at the laughs of the hyungs hahahaaha

[My baby’s famous singer ㅠㅠㅠ]

After making the sunbeams laugh like that, in the end, Park Seon-jae was also satisfied. Park Seon-jae said.

“And morning glory is a masterpiece. A lot of people need to know.”

“That’s right.”

I also nodded. And I looked back at the dorm where the members started talking again.

When the contract ends, this accommodation ends. Kang Hyo-jun said that he had already booked a dormitory because he would come in next summer or immediately.

I guess there is money left. Well, I guess I’ll be left behind… … .

While I was thinking about various things, I got a phone call from manager Kang Young-ho. I answered the phone and went into the room, and Manager Kang Young-ho opened his mouth.

– Choi Ki-moon, you didn’t say anything. I just had a drink.

“ah… … .”

Choi Ki-moon This child, are you trying to flirt?

There is a difference between making friends while drinking with men and not drinking at all.

Since I don’t drink at all, I was more concerned about having only one drink than Choi Ki-moon showing everything inside. Manager Youngho Kang said.

-Really, I just drank and left right away.

“brother.”

Now, going back and forth with Choi Ki-moon is a transaction that can only happen if I am Hogu. No matter how blind Choi Ki-moon is in business, if I don’t look like a hogu enough, I will feel strange and withdraw.

Choi Ki-moon had to close the contract quickly before digging deeper into Ahn Joo-won’s manipulation case.

Kang Young-ho was watching the conversation between me and Choi Ki-moon at a drinking party.

When Ki-moon Choi emphasized the value of TRV with his splendid eloquence right in front of his eyes, if he saw me, who couldn’t come up with a blueprint next to him, his thoughts might be shaken.

In a situation like that, I didn’t think it would be okay to just unconditionally, trust me, trust me too, trying to solve everything with these words. Manager Kang Young-ho is loyal, but before that, he was an individual.

So I told Kang Young-ho the schedule for next year that me and the members planned, slowly, no more, no less, absorbed the label that was now separated from TRV, judged the value of the stake, and redistributed the company’s shares to us. And, I explained what only our members of First Light knew.

The bright ideas of the members, which TRV’s answer was ‘difficult’ every time, came back to Kang Hyo-jun as ‘good’.

I confidently explained how and how First Light will develop in a new, challenging and investment-free agency.

Manager Kang Young-ho, who had been listening for a while, asked.

– Isn’t that a secret? Can you tell me everything?

After that, I laughed and answered honestly.

“Hyung, after Joongwoon hyung betrayed me… … I was very depressed and sad. After all, I’m the type of person that people hate. I may not be able to become an idol loved for the rest of my life.”

-… … .

“But you said that at that time, you got the same offer and turned it down. that’s real It was a huge strength for me. I’m still on my side That was really, really big, for me.”

* * *

To be honest, Manager Kang Young-ho was a bit shaky when he left the party.

Ki-moon Choi took him to a good bar that manager Kang Young-ho couldn’t go to with his current salary.

When he refused to go to the second round, Choi Ki-moon didn’t force it or asked for anything else, he said, “Let’s have another drink next time,” and left.

It wasn’t shaken, but it was a bit bland. I believed that Jung Hae-won was an idol who would never fail, but I wondered how well a 21-year-old who had never graduated from high school would know how well he had to know the business aspects, and I was also worried about how he would find a place in the new company.

Still, I wanted to talk first, so I called, but unexpectedly, Jung Hae-won took this situation very seriously and was explaining a schedule that only the members and the new company representative knew to catch him.

We’re going to develop like this. My heart raced as I listened to Jeong Hae-won’s explanation in a confident voice, but with a calm, not exaggerated voice.

He felt that he was important to him, and his anxiety subsided in an instant.

And Jung Hae-won’s last shot grabbed my heart.

-brother.

“yes.”

– My brother is mine. Let’s go together, till the end.

After hearing that, I started to understand why Park Joong-woon, who had betrayed him, was again on the side of Jung Hae-won and spying on him.

Jung Hae-won was obsessed with my people. Therefore, I was convinced that I would never betray him according to his interests, and that he would surely treat me.

But I also knew that I wouldn’t say the word ‘my person’ to anyone. Even CEO Kang Hyo-joon did not yet firmly believe that he was his person. So there was more weight.

“Of course it is.”

The answer came naturally.

* * *

Jung Hae-won was diligently preparing many things with Hwang Saet-byeol, Hwang Sae-byeok’s older sister.

He spent most of his sleep in the car while on the move as he was preparing for awards ceremonies, stake acquisitions, and loan reviews throughout December, and was preparing for the activities that the new agency filled up for next year.

As soon as Park Seon-jae sat in the passenger seat in the car returning to the dormitory after finishing the awards ceremony schedule, he checked Jung Hae-won, who was deeply asleep, and said:

“Haewon hyung is not moving.”

Then, after checking that he was breathing quickly, he said.

“Ah, alive… … .”

Then Hwang Sae-byeok, next to Park Seon-jae, said:

“No, do I have to check to see if the members are still alive?”

At those words, Park Seon-jae glanced at Hwang Sae-byeok.

As Jung Hae-won, who was originally in contact with Hyo-jun Kang, became busy, Sae-byeok Hwang was responsible for all coordination with both agencies, multiplying the role of the leader.

When the situation became so, Hwang Sae-byeok was rather tired and the stretched time decreased. It seemed that he was not feeling tired because of the sense of duty. Park Seon-jae said.

“Your brother is the best leader.”

“Why am I suddenly?”

Hwang Sae-byeok is embarrassed, but Min Ji-ho, who has been busy with stage composition and choreography preparations as much as Jung Hae-won is working, said in his sleep in the back seat.

“right… … Best new… … leader… … .”

“Oh, why are you here? Keep sleeping, Minjo.”

“Minjo hyungs peck… … .”

“The day after tomorrow, he’ll be 20, so how can he not be awkward in third person?”

Park Seon-jae said at Hwang Sae-byeok’s words.

“Even if he becomes a grandfather, that wouldn’t be awkward.”

“Pro idol, pro idol. Take good care of our Mebo youngest’s neck. It looks like I have to sing a cute song even at eighty, because of Minjo.”

“I’m going to eat bellflower chung while I’m talking.”

Park Seon-jae said, took out the bellflower branch and ate it.

After a while, as the car got closer to the dormitory, Hwang Sae-byeok said.

“Seonjae, sing me a solo song. Then get up right away.”

“Is that so?”

Park Seon-jae immediately played a solo demo that Jung Hae-won was working on.

[Because it is spring, because it is spring]

[Come to see me today and I will wait at the cafe]

[The regular recommended menu is carrot cake sprinkled with cinnamon]

[As always, you and I Americano]

[It’s common, but today’s spring is different]

[So I want to be with you in this nice weather]

[Because it is spring, because it is spring]

[Come to see me today and I will wait at the cafe]

At first, the music, which had more weight, was modified and revised repeatedly based on the lyrics written by Ahn Joo-won, who collected the opinions of Park Seon-jae, and arranged into a song that smells like spring.

And when it didn’t go well with the album’s atmosphere, Jung Hae-won just handed the song over to Park Seon-jae’s personal agency.

As expected, Jung Hae-won woke up and muttered.

“It looks like a cafe.”

And Min Ji-ho also woke up and said.

“Peck this song… … .”

Then Hwang Sae-byeok from the same private agency as Park Seon-jae said.

“good? The company really liked this. Seonjae told me to do a musical as a personal activity, and he said this is all I need. I was satisfied with everything.”

Then Jung Hae-won stretched and said.

“The youngest will be really busy next year. You’re making a comeback in early February, debuting in Japan in March, and going solo in April.”

“That’s not what my brother said.”

I’m so busy these days that I don’t have anything to say to Park Seon-jae’s pin, so Jung Hae-won laughed.

After arriving at the dormitory, he fell asleep after a long time, and the next afternoon, Jung Hae-won prepared to go out again with manager Kang Young-ho. Jung Hae-won said while wearing shoes.

“Then I’ll fix the contract and come back.”

Then Ahn Joo-won said.

“Uh, we’ll go out later.”

Jung Hae-won waved his hand and left the dormitory. Han Hyo-seok looked at his phone and said.

“It’s snowing tonight.”

Then Shin Ji-woon looked at his phone and said.

“It snows whenever we have something important to do.”

“Iknow, right.”

“It seems to be going well.”

Shin Ji-woon was lying on the sofa, relying on superstition. Still, all the members couldn’t relax, so they couldn’t enjoy the long day off and checked their cell phones.
