To put it mildly, he was a composer with his own color. To put it badly, he was an outcast.
Although I personally liked it.
“this. It was before, and it is now, but only in very embarrassing situations.”
“Mr. Kibum! Please put this away quickly.”
“Yes, I am going!”
Park Ki-beom with a bitter smile left his seat when he heard a voice calling him from afar.
Carrying a heavy prop in your hand.
Looking back, I thought.
Why the hell is that person carrying props here?
Obviously at the time, I thought that even if it wasn’t BS Entertainment, it would be enough in other places.
I felt that if the conditions were right, I would definitely succeed.
In the end, it seems that they couldn’t find the conditions that they met here.
Filming break time.
I went out for a while and sat down next to Park Ki-bum, who was resting with the Ahh I bought.
“Eat this while you rest. While I bought mine, I bought another one.”
“···Thank you.”
Conflict flashed in my eyes as I looked at the Ahh in my hand for a moment.
It was literally for a while.
As soon as Park Ki-bum received the Ahh, perhaps his throat was burned, he gulped it down.
A moment of silence passes. It was Park Ki-beom who broke the silence.
“The manager seems to have come out of there.”
“It has been out for a while. It happened that way.”
There were no BS Entertainment affiliates at the shooting site here.
That’s why the word came out. Park Ki-beom got up from his seat, probably because it was a topic that he briefly brought up out of awkwardness.
“The coffee was really good. I’m still thirsty, but thanks to the manager, I think I’m going to live.”
“What. Can I ask you one more question?”
“I don’t know what the question is, even if I don’t hear it. yes. I quit. Something like composing.”
I thought so.
If I had continued composing, I would have been working somewhere other than the drama filming site.
“I really liked the composer’s song. I personally.”
Hearing my words, Park Ki-bum laughs bitterly again.
It’s like an old star meeting a fan from the past.
“Thank you. It’s all over now. Do you know what I felt when I applied for BS Enter?”
“well.”
“I have no talent for composing… The BS team leader did that, right? Who would write a song like that? Don’t waste time while applying and go and run. That’s right.”
know. I was there with you too.
The head of the team was really mean. The arrow eventually headed towards me.
Park Ki-beom’s breathing became rough as if he recalled an insulting moment from the past.
By the time that excited breathing subsided.
I asked Park Ki-beom.
“Composer. Is it true that you really organized your mind without any regrets? I was left here with no regrets.”
“…”
No answer.
Maybe it’s to figure out what my intention was in asking this question.
“This is a question I ask as a person who genuinely listened to the composer’s songs. I wonder if I really forgot everything.”
“I have to go back to work. It was a pleasure meeting old friends. Enough then.”
I said behind Park Ki-beom, who was about to jump up and leave.
“If you have any regrets left. Please contact me this way.”
“This?”
Park Ki-beom received the business card I gave him. Then, with slow eyes, he read the business card.
WH Entertainment.
Representative Woohyuk Choi.
After confirming the contents, Park Ki-beom’s surprised eyes turned to me.
“This is a small place just starting out. That’s why I tell composers who are currently working stably to come.”
take a moment to catch your breath
So that Park Ki-beom can recall what I just said.
“I remember the first time I heard the composer’s song. He said that if you find a voice that fits the song, it will be a jackpot.”
“Are you sure?”
From Park Ki-beom’s point of view.
You won’t know if I’m a cheater or if I’m the last chance.
but i’m sure
For Park Ki-bum, I will be the last rope in his life as a composer.
How do you know?
‘Cause I can see it in my eyes
The bright light from Park Ki-beom’s body.
exactly 3 days later.
An unfamiliar number rang on my cell phone.
“This is WH Choi Woo-hyuk.”
– ···This is Park Ki-beom.
It was a phone call that came through the vine.
Episode 18
Park Ki-bum, who arrived in front of the building, his destination, couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
I heard that it is a new company that has just started.
I was worried that it might be a really small place with only one office.
I actually searched the internet, but I couldn’t find any information about WH Entertainment anywhere.
I did.
“This is… is it?”
As soon as I entered the building, I knew that my worries were pointless.
Park Ki-beom never expected to have such a decent office.
“excuse me···”
Park Ki-bum hesitantly opened the office door and entered cautiously.
I saw the WH signboard in front of the building, but I wondered if I had come to the wrong place.
However, it was CEO Choi Woo-hyuk who showed up in his own words.
“Are you here? Please sit here for a while and wait.”
“yes.”
I’m sure it was a small company just starting out on set.
Park Ki-beom, who looked around the office with this expression, awkwardly put his butt together.
CEO Choi Woo-hyuk, who was watching Park Ki-beom, handed him a cup of coffee.
“It’s just fine. Today is the day our singer Arin has a busking performance.”
“Busking?”
At the word busking, Park Ki-beom couldn’t hide his doubts.
It’s not a practice room or a lesson academy, but busking?
CEO Choi Woo-hyuk’s subsequent words confirmed that he had not heard them wrong.
“yes. It’s a busking horse performing on the street. Also, there are two singers from our company, and they are planning to debut as a vocal group.”
“ah. Vocal group… You weren’t preparing to become an idol.”
My first thought was worry.
Are the trainees with you lacking in looks? This thought came to me first.
If it’s good looks, there’s no way I wouldn’t prepare to become an idol in this day and age.
But soon, when he remembered the word vocal group, Park Ki-bum’s eyes shone.
Because he was the one who knew better than anyone that his music style didn’t match well with the idol version.
Wasn’t that why I gave up composing and found another job?
Since CEO Choi Woo-hyuk had heard his own songs, I wondered if he had made such an offer to me.
“These are the kids who will prepare for their debut with the composer’s song. Another member, Yuna, is still learning from the lesson teacher.”
“You haven’t even listened to my song yet?”
Park Ki-beom could not understand.
It’s like he’s full of confidence that the song he’s going to make will be perfect for the kids he’s preparing for.
“Then are you only seeing one of the two members today?”
“First, watch one of the members, Arin, busking. After that, I plan to go see Yuna, who is taking lessons. Listening to both members’ songs will be helpful to the composer. Do you have anything else to do?”
“Oh, no. There is no such thing.”
Did they say that even a tiger would come if I said it?
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming through the office door.
“CEO. I’m here.”
“I’m here? Greetings. This is composer Park Ki-beom. I’m going to go to the busking performance with you today.”
“is it so? hello. My name is Arin.”
It seems to be one of the two members.
The moment you turn your head and see the face of Arin.
Park Ki-beom couldn’t help but be surprised.
I thought it was because they were preparing for a vocal group rather than an idol, so they lacked competitiveness.
Those thoughts were shattered as soon as I saw the face of a trainee named Arin.
It was because I had an unbelievable appearance in front of my eyes as a trainee at a new company.
“Ah yes. My name is Park Ki-beom.”
From noble mtl dot com
Park Ki-beom received Arin’s greeting in a voice without confidence.
numerous failures. The path of a composer who eventually gave up.
I had the courage to take on the challenge once again at CEO Choi Woo-hyuk’s suggestion. It is still very low in self-esteem.
Can you even listen to what kind of song that member Arin is? If you ask, there is not even a song to listen to.
However, CEO Choi Woo-hyuk told Park Ki-beom as if he did not care about such things.
“Let’s go. Since it’s the weekend, if you’re late, it’ll take a long time because traffic jams.”
Today, Park Ki-beom could not hide his surprise at three things.
The first is that WH Enter’s office was better than I thought.
I saw that not only was one floor remodeled and used, but the necessary things were filled.
The second is that the singers being prepared are not idols, but a vocal duo.
Even the member Arin, who greeted her, seemed overflowing because it was not enough to promote her as an idol.
Why are you trying to make a vocal duo with idols who can make money? That thought came to me as soon as I saw Arin.
finally.
“hello. Thank you for coming today.”
“sister! How many songs are you going to play today?”
“I think I will do about 10 songs today.”
Seeing the fans handing out gifts with excitement at the word 10 songs.
I heard on the way that they regularly held busking performances every Saturday.
Having said that you’ve been performing busking for almost five months, are you still lacking in skills? I thought so.
Usually, there are cases where a lack is filled through a performance like this.
I did.
“Do you have a lot of fans?”
“I was really surprised. Although I heard that it was performed for five months. I didn’t expect to have so many fans already.”
Even Park Ki-beom could see Arin’s bundle of presents piled up next to him.
Fans wouldn’t have come to us like this if it weren’t for his talent.
“It’s really fine. Please come every week and listen to my songs comfortably.”
“no! I really wanted to give you this, so I waited until today. If you don’t accept it, I’ll go to You Tube and leave a comment!”
Arin is seen bewildered by the fan’s words and reluctantly accepting the gift.
Next, Park Ki-bum, who looked bright and happy, seemed to know why fans handed out gifts.
For these reasons.
Park Ki-bum couldn’t understand why Choi Woo-hyeok asked him to be a composer.
why?
He was the one who gave up composing after a few more attempts after being insulted at BS Enter.
I even tried hard not to even listen to the song in order not to come up with inspiration for composing for the past year.
Then, where did Choi Woo-hyeok look at himself and make his choice?
Park Ki-beom could not understand.
*
I can feel Park Ki-bum’s confused eyes.
Perhaps the reason I came today, which is Saturday, is because I can make time for myself.
If you check it yourself and think it’s a scammer, you must have tried to run away without looking back.
However, after seeing Arin in the office and preparing for her debut, she must have been rather confused.
No matter how you look at it, if you were in this state of preparation, you would have thought why you weren’t looking for a composer with a different name than yourself.
It was the culmination of those confused eyes. It was when I saw myself with a camera in my hand before the performance started.
“The composer can watch it comfortably from the audience. I have to shoot, which is what I have to do every time.”
“ah. okay.”
Park Ki-bum, with a very embarrassed expression, buried himself among the audience.
Looking at it, I was convinced.
That bewildered expression would change to astonishment as soon as Arin’s song started.
