“Good idea. You can’t miss a drink at such a good meeting. Is CEO Choi okay to drink?”
“I’m good.”
As soon as I finish my answer, Yuna jumps up from her seat and disappears somewhere.
“I will bring it!”
And the bottle of alcohol in Yuna’s hand, who returned after a while, was a surprise even to me, or even Chairman Choi Gun-wook, who was next to me.
“Yu, it’s Yuna.”
“oh. You brought it well. Get me a glass.”
Yuna and Mrs. Kim Hye-in looked excited.
On the contrary, Chairman Choi Kun-wook’s face was spreading bewilderment.
Probably the name of that drink.
“Louis XIII Black Pearl! I was aiming for this, but on a nice day like today, you can drink it. Right, Dad?”
“That, yes. It was a drink for a good day like today.”
right.
It was a French cognac named Louis XIII Black Pearl.
“ruler! Then voila!”
The place for a drink that started like that.
“What shall I bring next?”
“Hmmm. I won’t go.”
Chairman Choi Kun-wook, who stopped Yuna from getting up quickly, went to get a drink.
Of course, the drinks that followed were also surprising when you heard the price.
The world started spinning round and round.
I didn’t know why Yuna was so drunk.
Looking at it now, I could see that Yuna’s alcohol consumption was in the family.
In particular, it was to the extent that Yuna became an overlap with Mrs. Kim Hye-in, who sipped sips without changing her face color.
“this. CEO Choi is a little weak in alcohol.”
Wouldn’t it be the other way around? President.
Clearly there were not one or two empty bottles, but they all looked fine.
I’m sure I’ve never heard that I’m weak in alcohol anywhere.
“Chief Choi. Sleep at my house today. It’s because there are a lot of spare rooms, and I think it’ll be easier for me to eat Haejangguk in the morning and send it off.”
“it’s okay.”
My body shakes as I try to get up.
“Listen to me. Our driver Kim has already been off work for a long time. Surely you don’t have to wake up a sleeping person and call?”
“Then I will take care of you for today. mother.”
“oh. Oddly enough, I really liked the sound of my mother coming out of CEO Choi’s mouth.”
huh?
I couldn’t hear the world spinning round and round.
When I saw Chairman Choi Kun-wook’s reaction and Yuna’s reaction, I think Mrs. Kim Hye-in said something.
“It’s Yuna. Please show me to your room.”
“huh! Go boss. I will show you to your room.”
I definitely remembered that I got up from my seat with Yuna’s help,
however.
I don’t remember how I got to the room from there.
As if the film had been cut off.
Maybe me…
What mistake have you made?
That’s how I fell asleep at Chairman Choi Geon-wook’s house.
The next day, I was able to leave the house only after I ate the hangover soup cooked by Mrs. Kim Hye-in.
*
The day I came out of Chairman Choi Kun-wook’s house in the morning.
I got a call from Jiyoung Lee.
[If you have time today, would you like to come to the academy?]
It was clear that it was related to Shia, so I headed to Lee Ji-young’s academy.
“Is CEO Choi here?”
“yes. Have you got any problems?”
Lee Ji-young puts on a serious expression at my question.
Did something really go wrong?
The tension, which had gradually risen, faded away after hearing Lee Ji-young’s words.
“There is a problem. Just like the kids that CEO Choi picked and picked.”
“okay.”
It means that Sia’s growth is much faster than Lee Ji-young expected.
Just like I did when I was teaching Yuna before.
“It’s all thanks to the director’s good teaching.”
“Don’t gild it. I have quite a few disciples besides Xia.”
“this. I’m serious, but it’s a pity that it hasn’t been conveyed.”
After moving the academy to a nearby WH.
Although Lee Ji-young’s ransom price has risen, the number of people who come to learn to sing has also increased.
Since Lee Ji-young was in that situation, it would have been a clear comparison.
The difference in growth rate between the academy students and Sia.
“Doesn’t the real CEO have a supernatural ability to see things?”
“You finally noticed.”
It was a confession of the truth with a big heart, but the reaction that came back was sluggish.
“Where in the world do you have superpowers? I knew that CEO Choi’s ability was better than that. The more I look at it, the more amazed I am. Let’s go see Xia first.”
It was the result of Sia’s efforts shed so far.
The choreography was already close to completion.
Breathing and vocalization, which I felt lacking when I first brought her to Lee Ji-young, have improved remarkably.
“ha. How was the representative?”
After the song ended, Sia took a deep breath and asked me.
And I answered that question.
“this. Can we set the debut date earlier than expected?”
Called.
After Sia and Jay-Z were recruited into the company, there was one plan that came to mind.
“Sia.”
“yes?”
“How about preparing your debut song together with Jay-Z?”
Gone are the days when a song was popular simply because it was good.
The singer and the song must have a story to make more people fall in love with it.
Despite a series of failures, Sia and Jay-Z kept their friendship in the rooftop room.
What could be a better story than this?
Just like Yuanna’s Arin and Yuna give each other strength and create synergy.
“I-I really like it! If I can do that, I will really try until I die.”
“no. Rather than die, let’s do our best.”
“yes!”
I was convinced when I saw Sia with the happiest smile in the world at my suggestion.
Sia’s debut song prepared with Jay-Z will produce the best results.

＜ Episode 89 ＞
When I returned to work, I saw Yuna, who had gone to work as usual.
“It’s Yuna.”
“yes? Chief, why?”
Why?
It’s because I’m worried about the night the film was cut.
“Haven’t I made a mistake? I was too drunk that day to remember.”
“Hmm.”
weird.
There is no answer to the question, and I can only feel Yuna’s gaze as she carefully looks at me.
Yuna’s eyes looking at me were infinitely narrowed.
look like this with such a feeling.
However, what Yuna said next was simple.
“No big deal.”
“okay.”
I already have no memories in my head.
So I have no choice but to believe that Yuna is not a big deal.
“Today, Hana and I will have lunch together. Chief, take care of it yourself.”
After putting down the hot Americano, Yuna opened the door and went out.
Not sitting on the couch as usual.
I was worried for a while, but I had no choice but to turn my attention to other things.
Because there was a pile of things to do.
From noble mtl dot com
Hyukjun said he wanted to take a break after finishing this drama.
It is said that the next work will be delayed for a while, but besides that, there have been many love calls for Hyukjun.
especially advertising.
There must have been a few commercials taken as a group during the Galaxy days.
Hyukjun had never received an advertisement from an individual.
“Really? Did you really get a clothing ad for me?”
“okay. A clothing brand that matches your image also came in.”
“Nice! It has to be done unconditionally.”
It was Hyukjun who even jumped up from his seat at my words.
It’s too early to be surprised.
“I’m not done talking yet.”
“What? What else came in?”
When I nodded, Hyukjun’s eyes widened infinitely.
Perhaps no matter how popular Kim Ji-hyeok in ＜That Person Beside Me＞ became, it was Hyuk-jun who had no time to feel it.
house, set. And with the exception of stopping by the company in the middle, I was thoroughly focused on Kim Ji-hyeok.
Since he was Hyuk-jun, who lived a life completely cut off from the outside world for the sake of acting, there’s no way I could feel it.
“Until now, I put it on hold in the middle so that it wouldn’t interfere with your filming. I think you should know and choose.”
“really? Aren’t you kidding? Where did you come from?”
As the drama rushes toward its end, there have been quite a few proposals, except for a few proposals that have been withdrawn again.
“Yeah. Actor Hyukjun has grown up a lot. All these advertisements come in.”
“The reason I didn’t tell you in advance was so you could go all-in on acting.”
I added an explanation in case Hyukjun would misunderstand.
“no way. It must have been because he had an idea. you know bro If I had known these facts during filming, I might have been in vain.”
“guy. Okay, so just choose the ones you like so that they don’t overlap. It might go wrong, but I’ll try to catch it as best I can.”
“okay.”
After taking care of one thing about Hyeok-jun.
Next I had work to do.
It’s about meeting Ringo.
Originally, I had asked Ringo and Park Ki-beom to write Sia’s debut song.
I said it while thinking about the preparation period of about half a year, not right away.
They were composers who could show the same amount of results if they had time to spare and let them see what kind of singer they were singing for a long time.
But things have changed.
Thanks to Sia, I got a rapper called Jay-Z.
Even the rapper showed outstanding talent in composing and writing lyrics.
Above all, if Jay-Z made Sia’s songs, there would be no better story than this.
“But we have to be mindful of our star composer.”
I am not just a composer.
Ringo is the star composer that many people want to request for a song, to the extent that even now, calls to the company continue to flow in.
No matter how important the story is, that’s from the company’s point of view.
For Ringo, the composer, the fact that he left it to Jay-Z could have offended him.
From Ringo, who was so worried.
I got a very simple answer.
“This is what I was going to say if the CEO hadn’t told me. Did we get along?”
I feel a little relieved when I see Ringo talking with a grin.
And I couldn’t help but ask.
“Why did you think that?”
“no way. The representative also knows everything and looks at me. There is a story between Sia and Jay-Z, a story. Just like Kibum and me.”
also.
Ringo seemed to have the same thoughts as me.
Ringo, who had appeared on several TV shows after gaining fame as a star composer, knew the importance of the story better than anyone else.
And recently, Ringo’s popularity has risen even more.
“The person who knows better than anyone why my popularity has gone up.”
The friendship story between Ringo and Park Ki-bum.
Recently, it was known to people through a variety show in which Ringo appeared.
At some point, people’s curiosity increased.
About Ringo, who started moving like a team with Park Ki-bum.
In the end, Ringo appeared on TV and put an end to the absurd rumors that started floating around.
Ringo revealed everything.
The time when Park Ki-bum’s mother, who was in the same situation, took care of Ringo, who was very poor as a child, like her own child.
And even the story of Park Ki-beom, who gave up his side without fault like my own brother.
Even the story of Park Ki-beom’s mother, who worked day and night to pay for Ringo and Park Ki-beom’s tuition and living expenses, brought tears to the eyes of many.
“oh my god. I call my mother mother, but what a moving story in the world it is. Is it a family only if blood is mixed?”
After Ringo made a lot of money from his hit songs, the first thing he did was buy Park Ki-beom’s mother a house.
Thanks to this, people came to know why Ringo and Park Ki-beom moved like a team at some point.
“Still, it was worth participating. It’s because all the rumors have been cleared away and the story of our Ki-beom has been re-examined. There are people who recognize me on the street these days.”
“I know. Because of that, once again, requests for an interview about me poured in.”
Despite having such a family-like bond with Ringo, Park Ki-bum insisted on his own music.
And Choi Woo-hyeok, CEO of WH Entertainment, who faced the moment when he was doing a day job on the set to leave.
The result of trusting yourself was Yu & Na’s debut song.
What could be more cinematic than this?
“A story like that comes from two singers from WH again. Journalists will be very salivating.”
After talking with Ringo, I found Jay-Z in the studio, where he was busy composing.
It was my first time composing an OST, so Jay-Z needed help from Ringo.
That’s why, like now, I was working on songs in Ringo’s studio.
While Jay-Z was finishing the OST, he was surprised to find me after taking off his headset.
“When did the representative come? You shouldn’t have waited and called.”
“no. I’m busy working on a song, but I can’t interrupt it. Rather, how is the progress of the song?”
At my question, Jay-Z taps his chest with a confident expression.
“Of course, it is almost over. Ringo sunbaenim is a real genius. A genius!”
One interesting thing was found in Jay-Z’s reaction.
When you first came to the company and met me.
And even after that, I could see Jay-Z a little intimidated.
It seems that for a long time, the songs he composed did not see the light of day.
Also, because Sia also suffered financial difficulties to the extent that she had to often reach out for help.
But Jay-Z, who was playing the most confident and happiest character in the world as a kind of gimmick.
From a certain moment, he showed his self-esteem rising even in everyday life, not just acting.
like now.
“I heard you met Mr. Dreup yesterday too?”
“yes. It’s because I want to have two bodies these days. I’ve been very busy.”
“The next time we meet, get your company card and buy yourself a meal.”
“Still, yesterday I said I would buy it, but I got scolded. He asked what kind of food he would buy while living in a rooftop room.”
