“ I think this song will be competitive enough in the 2nd contest.”
Arin said excitedly too. Even while listening to it, I could feel that it had changed from Yuanna’s ＜Forgetting＞ to a customized song just for me.
*
It was the first shoot after the first contest.
Main MC, and 8 legends gathered.
“I don’t think the tension in this is comparable to before the first contest.”
Rather than the warmth when we first met.
As the main MC said, tension filled the legends before they knew it.
This is because the rankings were ranked from 1st to 8th after the 1st contest.
Last time, if it was a place overflowing with confidence that they would show the best stage with their songs.
Now it was like a numbered seat above each head.
“As the legends here know. After the first contest, the rankings were determined by on-site voting and text voting by viewers.”
Even from 5th to 8th, which is related to graduates, the difference in votes was not so great.
In the second round of the next contest, depending on what kind of stage they showed, it wouldn’t be strange if someone ranked 8th according to the text vote.
The main MC also mentioned that part in Arin’s turn.
“We placed 6th in the first contest, but the difference in the number of votes is not reassuring. What song did Arin prepare for the 2nd contest?”
The main MC asked Arin a question.
Park Chan and GK, who placed 6th and 8th, wait for Arin’s answer with tense eyes.
“I am···”
Arin catches his breath for a moment.
The legends who sang their own songs in the first contest each said they would sing songs by different singers in the second contest.
Arin, who was silent for a while in the situation, declared with a smile.
“I will sing Uanna’s title song ＜Forgetting＞ in this second contest.”
Called.
Everyone reacted in amazement at Arin’s words.
Everyone has a sense of what style of song is receiving the most text votes from viewers.
In this situation, they were not called even during the first contest.
It was a natural reaction to be surprised by Arin’s choice of Yuanna’s song, which can be seen as not being sung in a way.
“Yeah. Are you really planning to sing Yuanna’s song in the second contest?”
The main MC also asked again if he was surprised by Arin’s choice.
As if he would give me a chance to withdraw my choice even now.
However, Arin’s answer was the same as before.
As if there was no change in their choice.
“yes. This song of U & Na, the happiest when I sing. I will sing ＜Forgetting＞.”
Kim Chang-hoo nodded as if he knew that answer as well.
I see Kim Woo-jung looking at Arin with a strange expression.
So, Arin’s ＜Legends of Stage＞ 2nd competition song.
It was decided to be U&Na’s title song ＜Forgetting＞ this time.
recording is over.
Likewise, Arin was the one who remained on the set until the end.
While saying hello to the seniors who leave first.
It was the same as last time.
After being greeted by Arin, the seniors left first.
one thing different.
“Hmmm.”
It is that Kim Woo-jung, who was the first to leave as soon as the camera turned off during the last shoot, remained until the end today.
After confirming that all the other legends have left, Kim Woo-jung sneaks up on A-Rin.
“Brother. But there is something I want to ask you. Can I speak comfortably?”
“yes! it’s okay. Feel free to call me Arin.”
Arin was startled by Kim Woo-jung’s words and nodded eagerly.
This is Kim Woo-jung, a senior presidential candidate.
Unlike Kim Chang-hoo, who had left his activities behind for a while, he has been active in broadcasting for over ten years.
“You must have heard some rumors about me.”
“no.”
“No. Mostly true. When it comes to things related to music, I become a bit like that.”
When it comes to music, it is Kim Woo-jung who is rumored to have a broken personality.
They say that people are infinitely nice when they meet in places other than music, but people say that they have dual personalities when it comes to relationships.
In fact, he was also the one who expressed the most dissatisfaction with Arin, who joined ＜The Stage of Legends＞.
It seemed that Kim Woo-jung had something he wanted to ask A-rin about music, so he stayed.
“I was eliminated in the second contest, no. You might be graduating, so can you tell me why you chose your song?”
Arin answers Kim Woo-jung’s question without hesitation.
As if you don’t even have to think about it.
“Since my skills are still lacking, I thought a lot before choosing the song for this second contest. As a result, a decision came to mind.”
“which?”
And Arin’s answer follows with surprise on Kim Woo-jung’s face.
“The next second contest may be the last. So I can call it the best. And let’s sing the song that I can sing the most happily. I mean.”
Maybe I didn’t expect Arin’s answer.
“Even if it falls?”
“yes. I think it will be more regretful if I fall without being able to sing our Yuanna song.”
After hearing Arin’s answer for a while, there was no response from Kim Woo-jung.
I just stood and looked at Arin’s face for a while.
From noble mtl dot com
“You have a good posture. Look forward to it.”
Kim Woo-jung, who left those words, disappeared after saying that he wanted to show a good stage.
*
Sia took a vacation after a long time.
The place where Shia’s steps, lightened by the break she hadn’t had in a while, headed to the rooftop room of an old building.
A place that is cold in winter and hot in summer.
However, it was also a place with quite a lot of memories for Sia.
Every time I experienced a failure, I used to drink until my nose was crooked here.
Sigh.
The old hinges scream and the door swings open.
Shia’s forehead furrowed as she looked at the scenery inside.
“Are you alive?”
“···no.”
Inside the cold rooftop room, there was a friend lying on a cheap mattress wrapped in a blanket.
“How about dinner?”
“Yesterday, after part-time work for lunch, the boss took care of it, so I ate a simple meal.”
I mean, I’ve been starving since then.
Sia let out a small sigh and took out something to eat from the plastic bag she had brought.
These were the things that I had prepared ahead of time.
“also! Because there is only my seed!”
Seeing her friend hurriedly filling her hunger, Sia could only sigh.
There were items that did not match the interior of the shabby rooftop room.
music equipment.
The equipment she bought one by one, not eating, not using, and saving, caught Shia’s eyes.
Did he feel Sia’s gaze?
The friend who was working hard with wooden chopsticks threw a word.
“I’ll give it to you now.”
“I’m serious?”
Even if I could fill two or three days with just one ramen, I would have collected them like tenacity.
Equipment that was said to be more valuable than one’s own life.
Hearing that they were going to sell the equipment now, Sia sat across from her friend.
“you. Do you know where I went this time?”
The friend nods.
How can you not know?
I was delighted with the news that I entered WH Entertainment, which is said to be growing the fastest these days.
“The CEO said he wanted to see you once.”
“···uh?”
The frantic movement of the chopsticks stopped at Shia’s words.
As if time had stopped.
Seeing her head creaking and turning, Sia continued.
“So don’t sell that and come with me. Perhaps the representative will be able to recognize your talent.”
The people I met at work were like that.
CEO Choi Woo-hyuk said it was like seeing the talents of the other person.
I took an unknown step, but the results spoke of everything.
Choi Woo-hyuk’s choice was not wrong.
Shia herself also made up her mind to take on the challenge, thinking that it would be the last time.
“You too, don’t give up and let’s go with the thought that this is the last time.”
It was a friend who blankly nodded at Sia’s words.
“As I said, it is completely different from the company I was at before. The CEO’s ability is very good, and the company employees are very kind.”
Sia’s relay of compliments to Choi Woo-hyuk and WH continued until her friend told her to stop.
*
It’s been a while.
Having time to talk with Park Il-do like this.
As the company grew, both I and Il Park forgot that we were off work.
The sound of pork belly sizzling and the sound of soju glasses clashing in my hand and Park Il-do’s hand is harmonious.
“It’s hard to see your face these days.”
“I know. Our representative seems to be very busy these days.”
“Don’t talk like someone you don’t have in front of you.”
If it wasn’t for Park Il-do, it wouldn’t have been able to grow so suddenly.
It has always been a great strength to have someone you can trust and entrust your work to.
“Hyukjun’s drama is cruising right now. It was almost dangerous when the competition started. They say that Yuna made a cameo appearance and drew attention and overcame the crisis.”
“okay? How is the atmosphere on the set you asked me to check on the other day?”
“They say that since Yuna visited the filming set, the atmosphere towards Hyeok-jun has changed a lot. This is what I followed along on the set, and I confirmed it separately from Kim Sae-mi today, so it must be correct.”
“There is no need to worry too much in the future. Then he became Hyukjun.”
I was busy taking care of Arin, who is appearing in ＜The Stage of Legends＞, and Sia, who is practicing for her debut.
Thanks to that, Park Il-do was in charge of the schedules for Hyuk-jun and Kim Su-jin.
“How is the situation for the drama Sujin is going to be in?”
“I heard that KBC will soon finalize the production of the drama.”
“Then I will have to meet PD Lee Soo-young soon. I’ll have to contact PD Lee Soo-young tomorrow and make an appointment.”
I heard that producer Lee Soo-young thinks Kim Soo-jin will be the main character in this drama.
What kind of drama are you trying to make?
I’ll have to meet you in person to find out more.
“that’s interesting.”
Park Il-do makes strange noises while talking.
“what?”
“Honestly, I never thought that my brother would grow the company so quickly. Do you know what I am thinking these days?”
It must have been a question that was waiting for an answer from me.
“When my brother asked me to join him, I was really good at accepting the offer. All I could think of was this.”
There is no conflict between internal personnel like there was before.
When hiring a new employee or a career position, we valued personality above all else.
If you compare it to when you went to BS Enter in the past, WH will be like heaven.
In addition, Il Doni Park, who is no different from a founding member.
“It is said that opportunities come once in a lifetime. I think I got a good catch.”
“guy. It sounds silly.”
I said so, but I couldn’t help but smile.
I am growing the company with my ability.
Because the people who believed in me and followed me recognized and acknowledged my efforts.
“It will get bigger in the future, and more people will come to the company.”
“of course. The CEO of our company is none other than Choi Woo-hyuk of the world.”
It sounded strange, though.
I couldn’t help but feel better at Park Il-do’s words.
“Since Mauresia said she was bringing the friend she mentioned earlier. Free up time.”
“okay. Because hyung is really strange when I see him. Do you really not have superpowers?”
“doesn’t exist. what is superpower Aren’t you watching too many movies?”
I was the one who flinched at Park Il-do’s sharp words.
For some reason, people close to me tend to look more and more suspiciously.
Okay.
You won’t be able to see the light of talent that can only be seen with my own eyes.
I hope you won’t find out that you have this ability.
“So, besides debuting as Sia, do you have anything else in mind?”
“Yes.”
“What?”
“Vlog. I try to think of approaching my fans in a friendly way unlike before.”
Park Il-do tilts his head at my answer.
“Vlog? isn’t that common? Let’s start with Yuna’s Arin and Yuna’s Vlog?”
“no.”
There are many celebrities who are still active in vlogs.
So I thought of one more thing.
“There are so many attractive people in our company. How about showing those pictures to the fans?”
＜ Episode 76 ＞ End
＜ Episode 77 ＞
The vlog that I talked about with Park Il-do over a glass of soju over pork belly was something I had discussed with the PR manager once before.
About how to promote the celebrities who are in the company now and in the future.
Is there a way to appeal to the charms of children by approaching people in a more friendly way, rather than appearing on a TV program?
Then, the method that came to my mind was the vlog.
In the case of Arin and Yuna, they showed their charm well even when they appeared in variety shows.
In the case of Hyukjun and Kim Soojin, that didn’t go well.
“A vlog?”
“yes. In the case of Arin and Yuna, it is said that they found good opportunities, but it is not easy for Hyukjun or Sujin to show that kind of charm.”
Strangely, Hyukjun, who has transformed into an actor, has not been able to show his charm well since his Galaxy days.
I don’t know if it’s because of the pressure or for some other reason.
“I also felt that kind of regret. Soo-jin appeared on a morning travel show and became well known to morning drama viewers, but her image as a popular actress is still lacking.”
Although Kim Soo-jin is like a superstar among mothers.
Even if his age went down a little, he was known only to the level of an actor who beat kimchi in a last-minute drama.
Kim Soo-jin herself didn’t send it out because she seemed to still feel the burden of appearing in variety shows.
“If it becomes a regular video rather than a one-off, it will be good to promote the next activity.”
“that’s right.”
“In addition, I thought that a vlog would be the most natural way to show fans that the size of the company has grown.”
The head of the public relations team, who nodded briefly at my words, clasped his palms together.
as if something had come to mind.
“CEO. Is that a really good idea?”
“Is that so?”
“yes. The image of ＜I am a manager＞, which we filmed before entering the company, and the image we will show through the video if we shoot a vlog this time will be a contrast.”
Saying it was a really good idea, the public relations team manager raised his voice and said, “Let’s talk about it in more detail.”
As a result, I decided to shoot a video once.
Who should hold the camera?
First of all, you must be someone who will elicit a natural response from people in the company.
Especially from the celebrities under the company than from the employees.
A person who is familiar with the most people in the company, but is the fastest to get insider news.
I searched for someone like that and found that there was only one.
It was Yuna.
“So you’re starting a vlog to show WH Entertainment and its celebrities in a friendly way?”
“yes. I will try it once, and if people respond well, I will continue.”
“Then the first must be important?”
“that’s right. As it is a new start in the company. It should be done by someone you can trust. Such a person…”
“Me!”
