The Skill of an Idol That Never Fails

8 episodes

[Set a goal]

[Example) Hit song maker]

[Time limit 5 minutes]

The time limit of 5 minutes is too long.

Because this is an example answer.

I’ve been playing the piano since I was young enough that my first memory of my life was the piano, and of course I was aiming to go to a music college.

The problem is that when I was going to middle school, my family was struggling because of my sister’s study abroad expenses. Until my sister went to study abroad, I thought I was going to be middle-class, but I couldn’t stand it as studying abroad took a long time.

My older sister wanted to quit because we couldn’t afford to do art, but my parents insisted that if I stopped here, all my previous investments would be zero.

And the reason I was able to push so hard was because I said I would quit the piano first.

At the time, I didn’t have any particularly prominent talents, and to be honest, I was a bit tired of it, so I could easily say I quit.

But strangely, from the moment I stopped playing the piano, I was ignorantly depressed. It was only after I was forced to sell the piano in my room that tears came to my eyes just looking at the piano, and until then, I knew that the piano was everything in my life. Actually, maybe I really liked the piano.

Anyway, our house is a lucky case. Now, my older sister is considered a new writer.

The day I went to see my sister’s exhibition. we cried to each other My older sister ate only ramen for months to pay for a three-person plane ticket, and my parents worked nights and weekends, but no one regretted it. I thought it was a good thing I quit the piano too.

At that time, it was more shocking than my parents that my sister was living with her current brother-in-law to save money, but when I entered the messy atelier the two of them shared, my heart was full. I thought they were like the artists I saw in the movies. I thought I wanted to be like that too.

This was the new goal I had at that time. Idols.

I was crazy about dancing all my school days, and I was confident because I was quite popular at school.

And ironically, I felt it again when I first stood on stage in an idol chosen by the people. That I really like music, especially popular music.

[Set (hit song maker) as the target]

[Check the possibility of making a hit song

L-class hit song production rate 0%

S-class hit song production rate 0%

Grade A hit song production rate 0%

0% chance of making a B-class hit song

0% chance of producing a C-class hit song]

I don’t know how much of a hit C-class is, but it seems that there is no possibility that I will make that C-class if the status window describes it. And since there are no C-grades or lower, there seems to be no possibility of just making a hit song.

Then the Stork Dawn asked.

“How long can I give you a song? Next Friday after the tracklist meeting with our A&R team.”

“I’ll give it to you by Thursday.”

“The day before, hey… … .”

Anyway, since it’s an idol who debuted twice, Hwang Sae-byeok can’t swear and blurs his words. Even if it was next Thursday, it was a week later.

“Send it out at once.”

Stork said and entered the hotel first.

Because the finish is created, the strength of the jolly is definitely different.

On the day of the live broadcast, the news of Kang Ha-yeon’s lift accident was delivered to South Korea in spite of her silence the day before, and reporters were crowded several times. It seems that not only the entertainment department but also the social department came.

Kang Ha-yeon was in such a situation the day before, but she saw the MC without a funk. You seem to be mentally strong. I think that kind of thing is called an outward or inward river.

Anyway, because of the accident the day before, the atmosphere at the event was very gloomy. Like me, the closer I got to Park Hee-young’s stage, the sharper my nerves became. Park Hee-young slapped me on the back as it was too evident on her face.

“Why are you so nervous?”

“Noona, if there’s something wrong with the stage, just give me a signal… … .”

While I was talking, Hee-Young Park smiled cheerfully.

“I’ll take care of it. By-self.”

It seems like things went well with my ex yesterday, so I’m in a really good mood.

When Sensei and Park Hee-young, who are powerful in performing arts, went up on the stage, cheers from the audience poured out, just like any other idol. Park Hee-young, who was still in a good mood, raised the cheers even more and literally tore the stage.

Maybe that’s why, the first light that came up right behind him seemed to be overwhelmed by Park Hee-young. He seemed to have less control over the stage than during the rehearsal.

Then someone tapped my shoulder. So looking back, it was Kang Ha-yeon.

“… … excuse me.”

“yes?”

Even though I answered, Kang Ha-yeon did not say anything. He looks at me without saying anything, but I avoid looking at him because he’s so pretty. Kang Ha-yeon’s manager, who followed quickly, said:

“Hayeon is usually a little shy!”

“ah… … .”

I don’t know what it was, but Kang Ha-yeon looked at me like that, clasped something in her hand and disappeared. When I opened my hand, it was a note with a cell phone number on it. No, the actress just gave her her number… … .

I urgently returned the note to Kang Ha-yeon’s manager, and exchanged business cards with the manager instead. Ha-yeon Kang’s manager thanked me several times, begging Ha-yeon Kang to do something through him, and then walked away.

Well, anyway, I think it was meant to thank Kang Ha-yeon for giving me a warning in advance. I’ll try to contact you later when I need an actor’s network. through the manager.

The next day, I flew back to Korea for lunch. And without time to go home, I had an interview schedule right away, so I took Park Hee-young and headed to a cafe in Yeonnam-dong.

When I was almost at the interview site, I got a call from the company. It was Director Kwak.

Park Hee-young originally wanted to answer all calls from the company on the speakerphone, so I naturally received calls on the speakerphone.

– Oh, Cheol. I’ll send another load right there, so leave your car and go to the TRV.

“If it’s TRV… … Jongro?”

– Uh, there.

Near Gwanghwamun, there was TRV Entertainment, which was called the 5th management. Of course, it is now called the first three, and TRV is no longer able to enter the fifth generation due to the continued sluggishness of idols.

It was a life-and-death adventure for the company to make First Light debut by gathering members from the audition for Kook Seon-ah this time.

Although they were the parent company of Jong-ryeol Park, the two companies were completely separate from each other. There has never been a single video of trot singer Park Jong-ryeol belonging to TRV’s official YouTube channel being uploaded.

However, seeing them send tinbblers in such a hurry, I thought that it was not a completely different company.

– First light kids are so introverted that they don’t talk to outsiders. If possible, I’d like someone I know to add a hand to.

As soon as the words were finished, Park Hee-young said from behind.

“Oppa, is Cheol a machine? A kid who hasn’t been able to go home yet after his overseas schedule is over.”

Director Kwak said whether he could hear Park Hee-young, who had good diction and voice.

– As I said, kids are introverts, so they don’t talk to outsiders.

“Girl, what kind of rookie asks so much? And what is that company accepting of all that?”

“Ah, sister. Curse when you call.”

I’ve followed the schedules of other singers in the agency several times before, but I don’t know why I’m so annoyed today. I said it quickly to clear the atmosphere.

“Then, Si-hyung and I will adjust the schedule.”

So Park Hee-young said from behind.

“What kind of adjustment does the adjustment do? You’re just telling me to go to TRV. You can’t come back.”

I turned to Park Hee-young without realizing it when the car was stopped at the traffic light. Park Hee-young said.

“Then I know that there is a kid who looks like you at the entertainment company, so will you keep him as the manager?”

“The image after that Guk Seon-ah… … .”

“Is unfavorable feeling a topic of discussion? First light kids say they aren’t a topic of conversation.”

“… … .”

“Does it mean that you want to put your hands on the rod? Either leave the company or join it. You have to choose between the two.”

it’s ruined

I need to quit my job

I don’t think there is anything to worry about, but Park Hee-young asked.

“But if you want to get an employee out of here, shouldn’t that person also have to be at the executive level?”

So, Director Kwak, who was still listening on the phone, spoke frankly.

-TrV President Park Hee-taek.

boss?

Did Hwang Sae-byeok go to the president’s office and tell him that I was preparing to compose?

No way. He’s unfamiliar, so he’s not the kind of guy who gets to know Mijoo with adults… … .

As I was thinking about it alone, Director Kwak said.

– You came for a drink last time. At that time, when Chul saw him, why is a boy who should be an idol being a manager?

Oh, and come to think of it, there was an old man who had a love shot with CEO Park Jong-ryeol at a drinking party saying, ‘President Park~’ and ‘President Park~’… … .

… … Was that guy the TRV boss?

Because I was stupid, Park Hee-young kicked the chair from behind.

“Why do you look like that and stand out?”

No, what am I!

* * *

Reluctantly, I took a shift with another road and departed from Yeonnam-dong.

Park Hee-young muttered, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to go with you for long anyway, I didn’t like it from the beginning, and then went into the interview without saying hello. He looked terribly upset.

I immediately got on the bus and headed to the TRV between Gwanghwamun Station and Jonggak Station.

And on the bus, I searched for First Light at least.

Even though two years have passed since the end of Gukseonah, there were only about 30,000 copies of the initial release that mobilized the remaining recognition, almost the same as the sole distributor.

And even listening to it again, the song is very plain.

Looking at the comments, it seems like you think the same as me.

[I know they’re good at stage, but strangely they don’t like it]

[↳ I’m not the only one who felt this lol lol]

[It feels a little bit artistic… … .]

[I don’t understand the concept of rituals or anything?]

There aren’t many reactions.

As TRV is putting its life and death into First Light, it seems that their own entertainment shows are also made with a lot of money, but the number of views has been declining rapidly as the days go on.

In particular, those two are the most problematic. Han Hyo-seok and Min Ji-ho are 18 years old.

While playing basketball, Min Ji-ho pushed Han Hyo-seok and said.

-Hey, X. You’re just trying to have fun.

There was a beeping sound and it was written ‘Affectionate profanity’, but it was a real fighting atmosphere. Park Seon-jae, who is in the same grade as the two of them, and the youngest, rushed in.

-Ah, both of them have a strong desire to win.

There was no way people couldn’t see it just because the bad atmosphere was wrapped up with a desire to win.

[First Light, the members don’t look really friendly]

That reaction was also a problem, but the biggest problem was this.

[Why is our fandom always so quiet ㅠㅠ]

[Deokjil… … Have you been so lonely… … .]

[These days, I feel that Kuk Seon-ah’s fans have been leaked to other male idols… … .]

Unless there are hundreds of millions of Koreans, there is a limit to the size of the domestic fandom. The fact that fans are drifting into other idol fandoms is perhaps the worst news an idol, especially a male idol, can hear.

In the meantime, I arrived at TRV and headed to the president’s office as directed by Director Kwak.

When I went into the president’s office, the drunk man I saw a few times at dinner was actually President Park Hee-taek. I don’t know if things will work without this guy’s good news.
