chapter 8
just anticipation.
As expected, Arin’s voice calling coolly like before.
Will they be able to show off the highest notes that are considered difficult to digest live?
[Leave—!]
first.
An exclamation of oh-oh came out of people’s mouths.
[Ah——!!]
second.
You can see the spectators touching their arms as if they are getting goosebumps.
And the last of the 3rd treble, which is the 3rd octave par (F5) part, which is the highest note.
[Ah———!!!]
A high-pitched sound that penetrates the ear neatly without being disturbed.
The goosebumps that can only be felt in a live performance were growing on my arm while filming.
“…”
“…”
“…”
There is no immediate reaction when the song is finished.
The volume of voice that pierced through Arin’s amp, and the highest pitch that went up endlessly.
The afterglow they give does not give the audience time to react.
match.
mate.
Start with blank applause.
wow!
oh my god!
Eventually, the awakened audience reacts violently one by one.
“Go, thank you. Thank you very much.”
The impression is not only received by the audience.
It is Arin who sang her song in front of many people for the first time.
It was the first time I had experienced such a violent reaction.
People who hadn’t seen it stopped and came to listen to their songs and voices.
And he told me not to go now that the song is over. They clamor for the next song to be sung.
No one criticized you for not liking your songs.
No one criticized me for just singing well like a machine.
There are many people here who really express the genuine emotion they received from their songs.
That scene seems to shake Arin’s heart.
Because I was showing everything.
And the image of Arin was captured in the small cell phone in my hand.
“how was it?”
“Really… I really liked it. I have never felt my heart beat like this in my life.”
Arin took a deep breath to see if his still pounding heart didn’t calm down.
At the same time, the glance at me seems to have something to say.
What are you trying to say? The answer to this could have been known without having to ask.
“Arin.”
“yes?!”
“How about trying one more time next week?”
As if a drop of paint was dropped with an eyedropper.
Joy spreads across Arin’s face. It is full of happiness, like a child receiving a long-awaited gift.
“great! ah. By the way, could the representative come with me?”
I wondered if there was something else going on and I wouldn’t be able to come.
Arin’s face shows concern.
Seeing that expression made me laugh.
Arin tilts his head at the sound of my laughter.
“Did you see a fan skipping my singer’s performance?”
“hmm. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one.”
“yes?”
“yes!”
I can understand it when I see Arin humming with joy.
The fact that Arin and I have become one step closer.
Episode 8
I saw the name pop up on my cell phone that was ringing loudly.
it’s a name you know But that’s not the name to call at this hour.
“What is it?”
We occasionally contacted each other, but lately it’s been almost infrequent.
I’m starting a new company.
The other side was trying to fix things that broke out in the group.
But what happened?
When you answer the phone, you hear a loud voice on the other end.
– Oh brother! Why don’t you contact me these days!
“long time no see.”
– no. You said you started rather than that, so why aren’t you talking to me? Is this the only thing between us! There is a friendship in the past where we just shared a chicken leg!
“Don’t say anything strange. What is it?”
Sheesh, you’re quick to notice. I ignored the sound that came through the covered hand.
If I react, I think the story will leak to a strange place again.
– I’m f*cked.
“what?”
What kind of rattle is this all of a sudden?
– f*cked. me.
It sounds like you heard it correctly.
What the hell are you talking about by calling me after a long time?
“After fixing your awkwardness, the last comeback album produced good grades. This time, LD said that guy was also a big hit in a drama. What’s the matter?”
– That’s the problem…
Listening to this, I can feel it.
The identity of the opponent beyond the receiver was Yoon Hyuk-Jun, rapper of Galaxy, a top group of BS Enter.
Strangely, he insisted on using his real name even though he was in charge of the rapper position in the group.
The guy who always insisted on calling me Jun when I called him.
This is not it.
The big thing Yoon Hyuk-jun said was simple.
“How long is your contract period?”
– Until next month.
“…”
It was common. What happens when you slowly lose popularity at the top.
When coming down from the top, what happens when some members find another way in the cold temperature.
– under. LD said that bastard wouldn’t do anything like an idol anymore. I will go all-in as an actor. Doesn’t fit the class or what?
“That’s a big deal.”
It was a big deal.
At least from the perspective of Yoon Hyuk-jun, the person involved.
“What does the company say?”
– Do I have to tell you?
“no. done.”
It was obvious.
Among the six members of Galaxy, there were two core members.
Kang Hyuk, who is the main vocalist and also made a few hits with his solo songs.
And LD, who just finished a successful debut as an actor from Hyukjun’s mouth.
Idol fans of other groups used to call Galaxy like this.
Kang D and the nerds.
80%, no, more than 90% of the Galaxy fandom has a strange structure to the extent that they are fans of the two.
In that situation, LD’s declaration of withdrawal from the group. And Kangjun’s silence.
I mean.
– I look like an unemployed person from next month…
break up the group
There is no way that Hyuk-Jun, who has an average level of rapping skills among idols, can succeed as a solo artist.
In addition, there were no individual programs that followed BS Entertainment’s policy of insisting on mysticism.
“It’s really a big deal.”
– yes? What should I do?
If you ask me, there’s no way.
It was clear that Hyukjun also wanted to complain to me rather than find a solution.
Even if I didn’t answer like now, only unstable breathing could be heard over the receiver.
I did…
– So bro.
What else are you going to say?
I’m waiting for the next word to follow.
A sound like thunder from the blue sky continued.
– I want to go to the place my brother has set up.
what?
– The company doesn’t even say to renew the contract anyway. I don’t say anything, but I’m telling you to leave. How much money did I earn here? I’m trying to throw myself away like this.
I can hear Hyuk-Jun’s words as he quickly pours out his anger like a rapper.
Diction is really good.
no this is not important
– So, if I become a FA, hyung take me.
what?
After thinking about what Hyukjun said for a moment, he spoke up.
“FA is only available for large-scale listings. You are a free agent.”
– That’s too much! Even so, when I go out here, there are many places that call me to take me.
“Then you can go there.”
– no. Are you going to keep doing this? When this situation came up, I just called because I remembered my brother.
“It’s a joke, a joke. It’s because you’re just taking the first step, so I don’t think I’ll be able to take care of you properly.”
It is a company that has just started. Enough to fill the positions of the staff one by one.
Compared to the agencies that have been established before, it is still far from sufficient.
In this situation, can Yoon Hyuk-jun from the group Galaxy come and take care of him properly?
From my point of view, if Hyuk-Jun is coming, I should welcome him with open arms.
From Hyuk-Jun’s point of view, he had to avoid this place.
When you leave a group and stand up alone, your first choice is the most important.
I have to go to a place where I can push because I have power.
– no way! Did I contact you without knowing that? I’ve only been in the entertainment industry for a few years.
“If you really get out of there. The first start is the most important. Because that first choice will determine whether or not you can survive in the entertainment industry as a solo artist.
– know. Because of that, I want to go to my brother more.
“You’re coming even though you know?”
– uh.
I was in charge of Galaxy at BS Enter. There, I was recognized for my ability and prepared for a male idol group.
He must have said something like that because he was Hyeok-jun, who watched me from the side.
The only member I was close to in Galaxy was Hyukjun. Even after a change in charge. even after leaving the company.
But at such an important moment, you shouldn’t choose to be guided by emotion.
“You have to think carefully.”
– I didn’t call after thinking about it for a day or two.
“Think more. You might change your mind in a few days.”
– Oh brother! Are you going to keep saying the same thing over and over again?
“Isn’t it because you don’t actually have a place to call?”
– Woohyuk hyung!
I said this, but it’s a joke.
He is a member of the idol group Galaxy, who took a picture of the summit. Although his skills are mediocre and his personal fandom is almost non-existent.
Even if Hyeok-jun lowers his eyes and turns to variety shows, he can receive numerous love calls.
It’s a fresh character that hasn’t appeared in entertainment even though it’s been topped.
There is even a story of standing alone after the group disbanded.
As time goes by and you get bored, there will be fewer places to call.
After the group is disbanded and torn apart, there must be many small and medium-sized agencies that want to take it with them.
– In fact, you think I’m done now, right? So will you abandon me too? oh my. I never thought that the world’s rap legend, Yoon Hyuk-Jun, would be beaten by Tosa Gupaeng.
“Stop talking nonsense. I’ll send you the address, so come see me soon.”
– After all, these important things should be discussed face-to-face, right?
“okay. So, let’s meet and discuss the details.”
