Arin thought while looking at her back.
‘As the CEO said, people don’t change. If you can’t come to your senses, you have to make them come to their senses.’
It was the first threat I ever made in my life.
It was Arin that I thought was not bad.
*
I see Arin coming through the office door.
something different from usual
“CEO!”
I can tell when I see Arin entering with a bright smile.
I don’t know why, but I broke my shell and grew up one step.
“Arin.”
“yes?”
In fact, there was a request from Arin, not Yuanna.
It was the ＜stage of legends＞.
If you heard that ＜King of Masked Singer＞ would be a jackpot if only 5 vocals came out.
The program entered this time was literally a stage where even mid-level singers were in the lineup, literally legends were in the lineup.
He said that it was a lineup gathered with the idea that the main PD, who spent his entire life only on the music side, was the last.
Kim Chang-hoo, Park Chan, GK, Kim Woo-jung, etc.
Even if each one held a private concert, they were names that would fill all seats.
If even one person over there had appeared on ＜King of Mask Singer＞, it would literally be like the top 5 vocalists and there would be an uproar.
In a word, it is a collection of only the legends of the current music industry, as the name of the program is.
It was a survival program where eight such legendary singers gathered and competed purely through singing.
At the last spot, Arin received a request to recruit.
The biggest reason is that Arin was a member of U & Na, which currently has the highest stock price.
Next, it was Arin who defeated Lee Chan, one of the top 5 vocalists, in ＜The King of Mask Singer＞, so her skills were recognized.
The most wordy stone yet.
so that.
“I thought it might be a bit early, so I put it on hold.”
Look at that confident expression now.
“I thought that if it was you now, it would be worth a try. how is it?”
＜ Episode 69 ＞ End
＜ Episode 70 ＞
Kim Chang-hoo was a rock ballad legend.
There was a time when I would go to work every day on a TV show.
Currently, he is concentrating on raising a daughter who will not hurt even if he puts it in his eyes, sharing musical exchanges with his juniors at concerts.
She was a very belated daughter.
Being over 40 and having a daughter who came to me at an unexpected moment and didn’t hurt even if I put it in my eyes.
That’s why Kim Chang-hoo has been concentrating on raising children while leaving music activities behind for the past few years.
Kim Chang-hoo was very satisfied with his current life.
Until my daughter, whom I love so much, said something unexpected.
“Is your father unemployed?”
“huh?”
Kim Chang-hoo, who was preparing to go out with his daughter as usual, could not answer the sudden question.
The daughter’s eyes looking up were full of worry for her father.
“When I see the father of my friends around me, they say he goes to work every morning. Dad plays at home every day.”
Should I be proud that my daughter has grown to the point where she even thinks about going to work?
Or should I be saddened by that question that suddenly asks if I am unemployed?
“Jia. Dad is not unemployed.”
“then?”
okay.
I remember recently hearing that my daughter likes an idol.
no Did you say that you liked another singer because you were disappointed with that idol?
At the time, I was upset to hear that, but now that this moment has come, I feel rather fortunate.
“Dad is a singer.”
I heard that, but the reaction that came back was not good.
“Hey, lie. You can’t lie to me.”
“Really. Doesn’t my daughter trust her father?”
“huh.”
They say that only juniors call him Tiger Senior or charismatic Kim Chang-Hoon.
The shock was great because he was Kim Chang-hoo, who would become an infinitely stupid daughter to his daughter.
“Singers appear on TV. Dad is at home every day. And I asked my friends about my dad, but no one said they knew.”
“Really. Look at this.”
I tried to find old videos and showed them, but to no avail.
Because in his old video, there was only a picture of him shaking his head while wearing jet-black sunglasses with his long hair loose.
Even if you look at yourself, that charismatic image of the past and the present self were not a match at all.
Back then, it was cool, and it was the truth.
It was unfair that I couldn’t show them as evidence to my daughter now.
“okay. Instead, let’s save it from today. I don’t even have a job, but I learned yesterday that if you spend too much, you will become a beggar.”
“That, yes. You learned well.”
Kim Chang-hu, who was greatly shocked by his daughter’s words.
Decided.
I will go on TV again and show my best self as a father.
“uh. PD Park. Okay, don’t get excited.”
That evening, Kim Chang-hoo immediately called.
To PD Park, who had been harassing him for two months.
Did you feel that something had changed?
I could feel the excitement in PD Park’s voice over the receiver.
“You know what I said last time. Let’s try that.”
Kim Chang-hu, who took the receiver away from his ear for a while, was able to continue the conversation only after the other person calmed down.
“okay. Is that schedule the main time on the weekend? That’s the most important thing.”
It was an appearance made with a promise to show his daughter Kim Chang-hoo as a singer.
It also appears on TV again after a few years.
“Let’s meet tomorrow to discuss the details.”
Rock ballad legend Kim Chang-hoo.
It was the moment he decided to appear on ＜The Stage of Legends＞.
*
In fact, Kim Woo-jung was not interested in survival programs that competed with songs.
I also didn’t like the show called ＜King of Mask Singer＞ that was noisy recently.
Who dares to rank singers on stage?
“I don’t like it.”
“Hey. You can’t go anywhere and make a tee like that. You already confirmed your appearance now.”
“know. So I’m not just complaining here and now.”
It was Kim Woo-jung who always thought that he was the best.
In fact, it was at the top of the list.
Normally, such an offer would have been rejected as soon as it came in.
However, the sweet bait thrown by PD Park, who knew Kim Woo-jung’s temper, made even him move.
“Kim Chang-hu, who appeared for the first time in several years. I know this, but I can’t help it.”
In Kim Chang-hu’s heyday, he was a self he could not dare to look at.
It was Kim Woo-jung who thought it was not now.
That’s why, when PD Park proposed ＜The Stage of Legends＞, he was the one who accepted the rejection he was trying to do at once under the name of Kim Chang-hu.
but.
“What the hell is he doing here?”
“You don’t know? It’s hot because it came to mind recently. Right now, they are all ranked #1 on various music sites.”
“Who doesn’t know that and asks? Is that the military number that will be on the line for winning first place? I can’t count them if I gather all the kids who won first place so far.”
The manager who had been with Kim Woo-jung for a long time was sweating.
Usually, when a part I didn’t like like that caught my eye, I had to go to the end to clear my mind.
“Who the hell put a kid who debuted less than a year between these names?”
“It was said that PD Park selected it and Kim Chang-hoo said it was okay.”
“really?”
“okay. And there are even rumors that Kim Chang-hoo recommended Arin first.”
Kim Woo-jung, who frowned for a moment at the word Kim Chang-hoo that came out of the manager’s mouth, sighed.
“Anyway, that’s the problem for him too. They say that raising juniors is too broad.”
*
“and. is this real? Here is my name.”
Looking at the list of cast members I handed over, only exclamations flowed from Arin’s lips.
Each of the names written on them were great seniors that it was difficult for Arin, who had just debuted, to face them properly.
“okay. In the meantime, your name Arin came up. So you really have to do your best to prepare. got it?”
“of course. I still can’t believe that my name is on the list.”
Arin’s eyes are wide open as if he is dreaming.
but.
If I was in the same situation as Arin, I would have reacted like that.
＜Stage of Legends＞
The first week shows the process of selecting songs and preparing for the stage.
During the process, there was also time for everyone to get together and talk.
In the second week, each of the eight singers will present a contest stage once.
Repeat the contents of the 1st and 2nd weeks twice.
In this way, the rankings are ranked from 1st to 8th with two contests over 4 weeks and 1 month.
The person who finishes in 8th place will go out as a graduate, not a dropout, and the next singer will fill the spot.
It was literally a survival program where a dropout occurred once a month.
Even the contest stage held once every two weeks was performed live.
The week before that, the story of song selection, short preparation process, etc. is shown.
In a way, it was safe to say that it was a program that airs once every two weeks.
However, there was a reason to proceed with such a long term.
It was literally the stage of legends.
Since it is a stage where singers who have risen to the top place put their name and pride on stage, the given two weeks of preparation seemed short.
“You know today is the first shoot, right?”
“yes. I slept well yesterday and came out with a good breakfast.”
“good job.”
As time passed, it was Yuanna who became more like each other.
Arin is becoming more and more confident like Yuna.
“If you ever have a hard time, don’t groan inside and tell me right away.”
＜The Stage of Legends＞ was different from previous programs.
From Arin’s point of view, she has to compete with the seniors.
Besides, the singers participating this time are all energetic.
As they were the ones who reached the top in their respective positions, their pride was extremely strong.
For them, having the name Arin on the list could have hurt their pride.
No matter how long he maintained his position as the singer in ＜King of Mask Singer＞, he is said to be number 1 on music charts.
From their point of view, it was just a cute move that brought out a snort.
“Do not worry. I got stronger.”
I wanted to express that I have become stronger, but in my eyes, it was just a cute expression.
“okay. let’s go.”
“yes.”
From noble mtl dot com
Contrary to the confident expression on his departure.
When we arrived at the recording site, it was Arin who looked nervous.
The stage is not burdensome.
It must be nerve-wracking to have a seat with seniors.
“I’m going to say hello. CEO.”
“okay.”
They are 8 singers who each received a private waiting room.
It was natural for Arin, the youngest among them, to visit each waiting room and say hello.
“hello. I am Arin, a new singer who participated this time.”
“who? ah. Yuanna, a hot issue these days, is this friend? nice to meet you.”
There were also singers who accepted it warmly.
“Looking at this friend, I realize how old I am. Doesn’t this mean I have to retire? no?”
There were also people who happily welcomed their first meeting.
It was a welcome welcome because they hadn’t even started in earnest yet.
The peak was in Kim Chang-hoo’s waiting room, which was the biggest reason this program was created.
Before entering the waiting room and even saying hello, Kim Chang-hu got up from his seat and greeted Arin and started talking to him.
“nice to meet you. Your name was… ah, ah, what was it?”
“This is Arin. Seniors.”
“okay. That’s right, I said Arin. Please sign me here first.”
It was Kim Chang-hoo who greeted Arin more than anyone else in the waiting room.
The moment even I am about to come up with a question mark.
Kim Chang-hu first asked for Arin’s name, then held out a piece of paper.
“I heard there was a big incident this time. After that, my daughter became a fan of your junior.”
Even at the next meeting, it was Kim Chang-hoo who asked for the autograph of Yuna, another member of Yuanna.
“wow. I never imagined that senior Kim Chang-hoo would always look like that.”
After signing the autograph. It was Arin’s impression after hearing a few more words of thanks.
It must have been a big shock because he was Kim Chang-hoo, who always showed an overwhelmingly charismatic figure on stage.
In the past, I heard that his real personality was similar to his on-stage appearance. However, after belatedly having a daughter, her personality has completely changed.
In fact, if the great seniors welcomed it like this, I wouldn’t have to put “The Stage of Legends” on hold.
The problem was that this person was among the names I was given.
[Private waiting room for singer Kim Woo-jung]
Here was the problem.
Kim Woo-jung is famous for his personality even in broadcasting circles.
However, because he is a person who is acknowledged by everyone for his skill alone, PD Park said that he was the first to ask for a role after Kim Chang-hoo.
“hello. I am Arin, a new singer who participated this time.”
Despite Arin’s loud greeting, the only thing that came back was a nod of the head.
“How long has it been since you debuted?”
“Less than a year.”
“It’s a total chick. Beep, beep, beep.”
I could tell without looking at the restless manager next to Kim Woo-jung.
To the extent that that is sarcastic.
If I had a camera, I would have seen a 180 degree change. That’s what Kim Woo-jung usually looks like.
“okay. Why did you fearlessly join the big seniors’ stage?”
“I decided to appear because I wanted to learn a lot while working with the great seniors.”
Arin’s answer made Kim Woo-jung laugh.
“This is a place to prove, not to learn. If you have that kind of mindset, go out on your own right now.”
“no. I will do my best to prove it.”
Despite Arin’s roaring promise, the only thing that came back was Kim Woo-jung’s twitching hand gesture, telling him to shut up.
“are you okay. don’t mind.”
after leaving the waiting room.
I soothed Arin.
I was worried about what would happen if my child shrank because of one worthless person.
but.
