Episode 329
“Congratulations.”
“Congratulations.”
In January, I bowed my head and said hello to a senior I met in the hallway of the Gold Disc Awards.
It was one of the last awards ceremonies to wrap up the season of the year, but unfortunately it did not receive the grand prize here.
‘There was no possibility in the first place.’
It’s because there are only two parts, like a record sound source knife. There was no singer award that was different from the overall score.
Again, the result is obvious.
‘Youngrin and VTIC shared one.’
okay... . This bastard who greeted me right now.
Cheong-rye smiled brightly.
“From the best group to the best performance... You’ve won a lot of good awards. The fans must have great passion.”
No matter how much you rub it, it means that you can’t get the target if you cut it sexually.
“yes. I think it’s because we worked hard and the fans voted passionately. Although I can’t compare it to the grand prize of seniors’ albums.”
It means that those who were pushed back from voting are talking a lot.
“haha.”
“ha ha ha.”
I had a good laugh with him. The staff in the hallway pass by watching with warm eyes.
Cheong-rye stopped laughing, changed her expression and asked.
“hmm... Did you organize the ‘feelings’ that you hear when you meet?”
Oh yes.
I decided to talk to him one more time about what I had experienced while entering the body of ‘Ryu Gun-woo’.
‘Both of us were filthy busy during the season, so we didn’t really have a chance.’
I stopped fighting and cleaned up.
“I have found the person I was looking for. We are going to help with what we were originally trying to do.”
“aha.”
Cheongryeo’s eyes narrowed.
“It would be fun to meet you once.”
“When the opportunity arises.”
I found ‘big moon’ and seemed to understand the meaning behind that it would help with system processing.
‘At this point, this would be appropriate.’
It’s not something to talk about in an open hallway. It was enough for this bastard to not come out uncooperatively in the future work.
Cheong-rye smiled.
“I wonder how he can help. Are there any other problems?”
“A problem.”
“yes. I heard that you are setting up your own label. It’s more complicated than you think.”
Judging by the way he speaks, it seems that he already knows everything about the conflict between T1 headquarters and the agency.
“it’s okay. It’s going well.”
“is it so?”
“yes. I am only focusing on reaping good results by working harder next year.”
In the end, the goal is to clear the ‘KPOP record breaking’ mission.
Of course, taking away the album target from those bastards is the best.
I shrugged.
Of course, if it’s this kid, it’s like, ‘Oh... It’s going to be difficult,’ and they’ll try to scratch the inside of people again.
I looked at him, preparing to retaliate.
However, Cheong-rye only muttered with a normal face.
“hmm... is it so. Good luck.”
“... ... .”
“what... It might be a little easier this year.”
what?
“Mumundae!”
I heard a voice calling me from behind, but I stared at Cheongnyeo.
But he just shrugged his shoulders and turned around.
“... You say it’s easy?”
“You say you work hard? See you again when the time is right.”
That was it.
‘What kind of ulterior motive?’
Isn’t this the guy who rushed like a poisonous snake to the sexual story this year? It’s not like I’m not confident in my next grades.
strangely... I feel a sense of excitement.
Why is a bastard who only serves half a year in the army like that? I looked at the back of his head awkwardly, then looked away.
‘Should I look for some VTIC rumors behind the scenes?’
I don’t know if it’s a good thing, a bad thing, or a mood.
“Sorry for saying goodbye.”
“Oh no no.”
Seon Ah-hyun, who approached, saw Cheong-ryeo returning with a slightly nervous face, but soon looked back at me and smiled.
“I was meeting and saying hello to senior Youngrin over there... !”
“okay? let’s go.”
“Yes!”
I followed him down the hallway.
Turning the corner, another grand prize winner was smiling.
“Mr. Moondae.”
“Seniors.”
It is Youngrin who received the digital music award the day before at the awards ceremony, which was divided into two days.
However, at the music awards ceremony today, I received the Bonsang and participated. And even sang a song.
‘I usually only attend one day to receive the grand prize.’
It was a rare and sincere attitude.
“Now it is really a new year. I hope the testers will show great performance next year.”
“I will work harder.”
Youngrin smiled lightly, but the dancers behind her began to sob and sob. what?
Perhaps noticing their gaze, Youngrin introduces the dancers.
“They are new friends from my agency next year. Let’s say hello.”
“hello!!”
It seems that he was written as a dancer as a kind of stage experience. It’s common.
Seon Ah-hyun looked at it with a happy face and spoke to Young-rin in a small voice.
“I must be a junior whom I cherish very much... .”
“Does it look like that? you’re right. I am in charge of producing.”
“Seniors... .”
The trainees, Youngrin and Sunahyeon are creating a very warm atmosphere. Of course I have no intention of wearing it.
‘If it’s young-rin producing, it’d be nice to have one great song.’
I sorted out the information about the prospective rookie in one place and broke up with Youngrin.
Returning to the waiting room, Seon Ah-hyun touched her hand as if it were new.
“We are already seniors too... .”
“yes. I am no longer a rookie.”
As the new year approaches, Testa is already in her 5th year.
Since it’s been 3 and a half years since debut, you can say that you’ve taken off your rookie mask. Now we have to keep in check those who are slowly coming up.
‘I have two direct subordinates.’
I thought of two groups of juniors from < Azusa >.
In the future, our actions will determine whether or not we will continue to be ‘directly under’.
Will you escape this agency and go directly to T1? Or will you stay and grab it?
“hmm.”
In fact, it was as if the conclusion was reached the moment Rabin Kim’s opinion came out.
‘There are so many members who are attached to the people of the planning team and the AR team.’
He was overly impulsive and had no occasion, so he was not allowed to come to such a place where he should have a serious conversation.
‘That means this position is important to me.’
It seemed that the highlands were already in front of me. The general manager started the conversation by offering coffee to Ryu Cheong-wu, who put down his umbrella.
“A latte?”
“thank you.”
After a short conversation about taking care of yourself, the main topic came out in a soft atmosphere.
Liu Chengwu said in a low voice as he grabbed the glass.
“There are many differences of opinion among us. exactly... There are more people who want to go out, but there are members whose attitude has changed a little while talking with the general manager.”
“is it so. I’m really curious about what you like the most.”
“that... .”
Ryu Cheng-wu seemed to be conflicted, but sighed several times.
‘Hurry up and open it!’
And it was only when the head of the headquarters burned out that he opened his mouth again.
“After all, I still have trust issues.”
“Trust me.”
“yes. We’re lucky enough to make a label, but if it were other idols, we wouldn’t have been able to. doing... That kind of doubt.”
Ryu Cheng-wu smiled bitterly.
“This is true, but there are members who think that the general manager’s explanation is nothing more than words. I am very interested in idol human rights... That friend is tough.”
It was the idea of a child with a lot of dreams.
‘Those who make hundreds of billions of dollars are saying that they are full. Anyway.’
Even though he thought it was worth it, the head of the headquarters rolled his head and thought of an appropriate answer.
It seems that he wants to show an ethical gesture that will satisfy his moral vanity rather than profit.
‘Other idols can’t. la.’
“... !”
At that moment, an intriguing thought popped into the general manager’s head. ‘With this, nothing is given away!’
He laughed inwardly and opened his mouth with a calm expression on the outside.
“Then... .”
* * *
“I got it.”
“Ohhh!”
“It was raining, but you worked really hard!”
Ryu Chung-woo, who returned from the meeting, smiled and shared the documents he had taken in the group chat room.
[T1 Stars artists can sign a contract with an affiliated label when renewing a contract, and agree on this before renewing the contract.] It
is the certification that ‘Anyone can go to the label when renewing the contract’.
“You really did.”
“I know.”
Liu Chengwu shrugged.
“Actually, I didn’t expect to get so many oks in writing.”
“that’s right!”
“Mundae hyung is a wizard!”
What are you talking about after writing it all together?
“It is because we are the top. It just made things a little bit easier.”
After all, if we can raise the company and catch it in the yard that will all disappear when we open the company, of course we won’t do it.
I just wanted to do it in the form that the company voluntarily puts out, not what we asked for.
‘So I can’t say anything else later.’
But the guys next to me giggled.
“Oh~ humble~”
It was. I shook my head and laughed.
“Chungwoo hyung is more amazing. You received almost exactly what we said.”
“well. You just let me know... ?”
However, Sejin Bae also raised his hand.
“... great!”
“Um, thank you.”
It seemed that he had been greatly impressed by the change in company guidelines. It says ‘I did it!’ on its face.
‘It’s amazing.’
When renewing a contract, can I unconditionally choose an affiliated label? This kind of thing doesn’t do any large.
‘It must have been possible because of the uniqueness of this agency.’
It’s an audition program anyway, so it’s a structure that runs with the hottest kids this season.
The board of directors must have said okay, thinking that Testa was just a special case and that the later guys would be replaced after 5 years of good use and when they run out of sweet water.
Even if you go to a label, sales are captured anyway.
‘Stupid bastards.’
Conversely, who in the company would notice those guys who paint a picture that their group will do well even after 5 years?
It’s the label that the best-selling group 1 idol belongs to.
‘And when the idols create the atmosphere, the working staff also agrees with it.’
In the end, it was a matter of influence. I swipe the amendment floating on the screen.
‘I skip one by one.’
If it continues, eventually the label will grow and the agency will remain only in name.
I finally smiled and opened my mouth.
“It’s nice that it ended well. Everyone has worked hard.”
“You worked hard!”
“Ah~ Let’s quickly decide on a label name!”
High fives and laughter fill the living room. How heartwarming.
Now, let’s do something fun with this label... before doing.
“Before that, I have something to do first.”
“Yes?”
“I plan to prepare for the next album.”
Kim Rae-bin tilts his head.
“Wasn’t it parallel work during the tour... ?”
“that’s right.”
I smiled and crossed my arms.
“As for the plan, during our tour we spent once a week in the same room, right?”
Cha Yu-jin’s eyes lit up. I think I remembered it right away because it was a tradition that came about because of my escape.
“that’s right. there is!”
“... Liu Cheng-wu made a good suggestion.”
“haha.”
Ryu Cheng-wu looked a little proud. Between them, a big Sejin intervenes.
“Oh~ Shall we gather like that this time to prepare for our album? Like composition camp back then?”
“Wow wow.”
“I am in favor!
The friendly guys looked at each other with a smile. I also smiled and opened my mouth.
“There is something different about my proposal.”
“huh?”
“Not once a week, but three days.”
“... ... .”
“It must have been possible because the tour schedule was generous. And there is one more difference.”
“What is it?”
I laughed at Bae Se-jin.
“It’s an album, but I have to let it die.”
“... !”
“This will be an overnight camp, not a hobby camp.”
Kwagwawang!!
Just in time, lightning struck and cast shadows on the faces of those with open mouths.
That’s how the ‘KPOP Hell Camp – Tester ver’ draft was announced.
