NOVEL NEXT chapter 22
[22] Auspicious (3)
＜Top Idol＞
After the first contest was revealed,
Solar immediately occupied the top spot on all portal sites.
In particular, Diana burned hotly with her producing and dissing songs.
Actually, I was wondering if it was going to go like this.
It didn’t look like it would be easy when I looked at the chat from her team leader.
[Stop by the general manager’s office as soon as you get to work]
[Director’s instructions]
‘Ugh, the swearing was too vulgar.’
I let out a sigh and headed to the practice room with her members.
You must take responsibility for the results of your arbitrary judgment.
“Guys, we’re practicing until the teacher comes.”
“Who is the manager?”
“I have somewhere to go.”
“Hurry!”
“Yes.”
Leaving her members behind, she moved on with her firm heart.
A diss song mixed with profanity by an innocent girl group.
To be honest, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.
Still, if the back of your head tickles when you’re anxious, it’s 100% reversed.
“Reversal wins.”
Tuck, Tuck—
Her heart was firm even on the way to be summoned after receiving a call from the general manager.
I took a deep breath and promised not to give up on my convictions.
“Whoa, what if I get scolded?”
Because one day the results will be good.
Yeokbae and Johnber coexist.

Knock, Knock-
I knocked on the knock on the headquarters manager’s office in a state of tension.
My heart was racing like a student being dragged into the student department.
“Oh, come in.”
When I made a big decision and opened the door, a strange woman was sitting with me.
“Um, Chief?”
“Greetings. This is Hong-ju, whose stage name is Red Wine.”
“Hello.”
“Hmm.”
A woman with impressive makeup in a fancy dress.
The red wine licked her lips as she turned her head.
“Is that you? Solar’s father.”
“Yeah?”
I haven’t even gotten married yet, but your words are a bit harsh.
Solar’s father isn’t me, each of us must be different.
Well-
A noise came from her oversized necklace around her neck.
‘Why is red wine here…?’
A famous choreographer known as the B-Girls’ dance teacher.
She has a unique presence in the girl group dance scene.
“Diana, I got interested in this song because of this song.”
“Yeah?”
“I don’t play against girls who aren’t girl crush.”
“…”
It was truly a great opportunity for Solar.
The innocent girl group image is getting farther and farther away.
“The second contest stage, let’s make a picture.”
“Yes, thank you!”
I couldn’t find a dancer who could cover breaking.
Existing trainers also had limitations in teaching Juhee.
“Chief, then you called me…”
“Ah, well done.”
“Yeah?”
“Very good. Just let it be.”
“Yep.”
Maybe I called to scold him, but he changed his attitude.
“Now then, shall we check the members first?”
“Do you have time today?”
“Of course.”
Drooling-
I immediately left the general manager’s office with red wine and headed for the practice room.
“Today, I’ll just look at the members’ skills.”
“All right.”
She guessed who the recommendation was.
Because I often collaborate with Turn Up Records artists.
“Hey, maybe it was a recommendation from producer Seo Tae-seong…?”
“That’s right. I’m not the kind of person who listens when I ask for a favor.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
This is why the more you build a network, the more it accumulates.
If you cross one leg, you keep hanging out with famous people.
“Manager, I watched the first contest broadcast.”
“Are you a top idol?”
“Yes. You got all the group results right.”
“Well, I did.”
At that time, even when I looked at it, the reverse distribution was right.
Teams that seem likely to lose actually win.
“You have an excellent eye.”
“… Thank you.”
“If it’s okay, would you like to see the training today?”
“Yes. I like it.”
At that time, a reggae-style beat flowed from the practice room next to Solar.
“… Luna.”
It looks like they’re preparing for a contest with real reggae music.
It was just asking for a recommended genre from me.
“Huh? You’re also a Top Idol performer.”
“Yeah.”
“Wow, reggae music. A spirit of challenge.”
“…”
For some reason, it seemed like it was my responsibility, so I couldn’t just pretend I didn’t know.
“Hong-joo, I’ll stop by here for a moment.”
“Yes. I greet the Solar members first.”
“Thank you.”

Knock, Knock-
Led by Lucia, the Luna members practice reggae-style dance songs.
The sharp group dance fell to the berth because my skills didn’t go anywhere.
“Oh, manager Jung Soo-ho.”
“Yes. Shia-san.”
“You recommended a genre. Thank you!”
“…”
In order for my dungchok to flow in a good direction, two conditions were required.
At the same time as feeling anxious, the back of the head should feel itchy.
Looking at Luna’s practice now, neither of these were the case.
“Just a little… Can I give you some advice?”
“Really? Then thank you!”
“Show me what you practiced again.”
“Yes!”
It was their choice whether to accept the manager’s advice.
* * *
Hongjoo gulped down her saliva as she looked at the muscle monster.
At first she taught lightheartedly.
I wonder if I can imitate this too, so if I show you the action.
“Hmm, the articulation of that part is different from what I learned on You Tube.”
“I can’t help it. This is the limit of a woman’s strength.”
“Hmm.”
Dududuk-
Yang Joo-hee bent his wrists and showed off an air track stance.
Who knows how to make poses that even professional B-girls find difficult.
‘Wow, she’s already a complete dancer.’
When I got her in the right position, she showed a near-perfect movement.
No, rather, how she practiced in the wrong posture.
‘… Muscle.’
Because it is flexible and hard, there is nothing to hurt.
I just recklessly practiced and practiced again.
I never thought that there would be someone who practiced so ignorantly.
“Wow, sir. Thank you. Learned a lot today.”
“Are you the type to change your posture a lot?”
“No. There is a limit to learning from watching You Tube. hehehe.”
“… Self-taught?”
“Yeah.”
Oh my god, so you’re saying that you’ve developed this kind of skill through video alone?
There is only one week left until the second contest.
Until then, if you hold me tight so that I don’t lose my posture.
‘The first among girl groups… Maybe.’
Among female dancers, it was rare to find someone who worked out so hard.
There will come a dance genius unprecedented in the girl group world.
It can also break down the boundary between a dancer and a girl group.
‘The more I look, the more fun Solar is.’
Isn’t this girl crush?
Why did they come out with the title of an innocent girl group with such a composition of members?
I don’t think manager Jeong Soo-ho would say that he didn’t know with his great eyesight.
Drooling-
Just then, manager Jeong Su-ho entered the practice room and started talking.
He said, “I’m late.”
“No, thanks.”
Because you already showed the charm of a twist with Diana’s hit song.
You’re thinking of turning to girl crush in this second contest.
“Manager, I understand your intentions.”
“Yeah?”
Hongjoo walked slowly towards the audio and played her music.
Seo Tae-sung and Diana co-composed 「Get up, Beat up」
“You’re trying to prove it to the public with this music, right?”
“What…?”
“What a real girl crush is.”
“?”
Currently, the best 3rd generation girl group in Korea, ‘Blue Scholtz’.
Isn’t it a challenge to the king of girl crush?
“I’ll help you.”
“…”
Because the road to world class is always open.
From tone thugs and beat makers to breaking geniuses.
With this level of preparation, I have gathered enough ingredients to cook.
＜Top Idol＞
Competitors won’t be light snacks.
By thoroughly trampling on other teams and rising to the best position in the 4th generation.
‘I’m going to challenge Blue Scholtz!’
How far can manager Jeong Soo-ho look?
* * *
A week later, the morning of the second competition day dawned.
In this contest, I hope to go only in the middle.
I think I set my expectations too high last time.
“Oh, brother.”
“Uh. It’s Jiyu.”
“I have a lot of schedules these days. Ugh.”
“… Hold on a little.”
Even as I looked at it, the murderous schedule was constantly going on.
“Top Idol, until the third contest.”
“Is there another fifteen days left?”
“What, that much?”
In the meantime, ＜Top Idol＞
Ended the season after three contests.
You can’t cast 8 popular idol groups for that long.
“Once this contest is over, time will be free.”
“Really?”
“…”
No, actually, I think I’ll be busier after that.
Even now, the phone calls keep coming in.
Moreover, I don’t think I will be able to work as Solar’s complete group on the next stage.
The company judged that I showed everything I could show on stage.
“They tried to slow it down.”
“Already?”
“Look at Dream Agency pushing it.”
“Mmm.”
Because the ransom is the most expensive when you hit the peak of topicality.
The intention was to get a good role right now.
‘They have nothing to lose either.’
I don’t know how long the parent company will grow Solar.
Looking into the future, actors have a longer lifespan than girl groups.
As long as you have acting skills, you can act regardless of your age.
“… Abandon Top Idol?”
“I’m going to go two-track. You’re going to have a hard time.”
“Ah.”
Yeji and Eunseo are the visual members of a girl group.
I think I should take those two to the audition.
“If it’s Solar right now, there must be some directors who just want to put in a supporting role.”
“Idol tie-in? I’m against it.”
“Is it.”
“The first work you learn is half your career.”
“…”
Long-running great actors left a deep impression in their first work.
I want to be in a drama with a proper director and writer.
“Come down now.”
Soon, Solar members walked out of the shop with light steps.
“Manager, have you been waiting for a long time?”
“Manager Oppa Hi!”
“Hello.”
They all decorated themselves to the fullest, so they became dazzlingly pretty.
In particular, the visual members are at the top of the girl group.
If this is the case, the company must be greedy for acting.
“Brother, these days, I have too many schedules.”
“Um, that’s right.”
Yang Joo-hee, in particular, had a long practice time, so she deserved to be called out.
“Isn’t it hard because you’re so busy these days?”
“Yes. I’m losing muscle because I don’t have time to exercise. I think I’m going to die.”
“Ah, muscle loss… Is that enough to die?”
“Of course. It feels like flesh is falling off.”
“…”
I really don’t know. What is the life of Hellchang?
It was an extreme job as a manager.
Should I study that too?
“Why are you exercising?”
“Hmm, I’d rather ask why you’re breathing.”
“Yes. Okay, so let’s go quickly. We don’t have time.”
“Yeah!”
I heard that some teams have already arrived at the Ennet station.
* * *
Ennet Broadcasting Station.
Lee Soo-yeon checked today’s script and had a conversation with the manager.
“Has the lead role come in again?”
“Yes. This time it’s a JTBS drama.”
“Hmm.”
An actor’s ‘grade’ did not necessarily go up through acting.
Even if you take a place in popular entertainment like now.
“Wow, it wasn’t like this even in his prime.”
“That’s right. Top Idol came out really well.”
“…”
Suddenly, the manager continued as if he had remembered something.
“Suyeon, did you hear that?”
“What”
“These days, the company said they are raising me as a solar actor.”
“… Actor?”
Then it means that Jung Soo-ho is raising an actor again.
What is an idol who pushes with one tool of innocence and pity like them?
“Wow, is the acting stage good enough?”
“Ah, Solar is doing the best these days.”
“Not Solar.”
Yes. Honestly, the ability to raise a girl group is acknowledged.
It can’t be a coincidence that I’ve grown this much.
“It’s not everyone who has eyes to see art.”
“Is it.”
“I just have to ride it.”
“That’s right.”
Sometimes there were geniuses who had amazing pioneering ideas.
The representative who established the current dream agency was an example.
‘Really, no one can grow.’
In particular, haven’t you experienced Jung Soo-ho’s eyes several times already?
A genius poop that eats up even a project that will surely succeed.
With that skill, he is trying to set foot on the acting stage again.

Knock, Knock-
At that time, the staff’s voice came from outside.
“Sooyeon, I’ll be on standby!”
“Yes!”
Soon, Soo-yeon rose from her seat with an answer.
“My brother just organizes the script. I’ll see for myself what kind of work will be good.”
“Okay.”
Another angle, another angle—
Soon after, the sound of Lee Soo-yeon’s high heels resonated in the Ennet filming studio.
Eight teams of girls have already gathered on the stage.
Among them, two groups stood out.
Solar, who performed the best in the last contest.
The B-Girls are considered the best in dance.
If Solar wins again, the ripple effect will be enormous.
Then, in name and reality, they will rise to the top of the 4th generation’s best girl group.
‘You’ll know when you see it.’
The second contest started with Suyeon’s progress.
