If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

24 – Spending other people’s money is always fun.

Episode 24

In the previous episode, I took my first steps into the entertainment industry with the title of road manager.

Thanks to this, in most of the scenes, I had to jump to my feet and lift my head to push.

Even as I became a manager and beyond the team leader, I preferred to see people face to face, so I visited the site in person whenever I could.

During the process, I had the opportunity to check the faces of quite a few celebrities and celebrities and look at their status windows.

However, in the past 10 years, I have only seen 3 people with S rank vocal potential in the status window.

One was a male singer-songwriter who is said to be the best vocalist in Korea.

Another was a female vocalist who was evaluated for treating songs as a new language rather than just a song.

The last was a vocalist who was definitely considered one of the Koreans who shone the world.

A person who engraves his name on the world with only one talent.

A talent for inevitable success that shines even in any adversity.

That was the meaning of the potential of S rank.

However, among idols, there was no one with such S-rank talent.

Maybe it was natural.

The talents required by idols are complex.

First of all, your appearance must be at least A-.

It is the Maginot Line that people treat as idol statues.

Due to the advancement of mixing technology, vocals can be buried with technology even if they are only C+.

If you want to recruit a friend like this, you’ll definitely need to add at least one high-pitched shuttle to the team.

In dancing, you must get at least a B or higher.

As choreographed choreography and flashy performances have become a trend, dance that is more visible should not be seen as a hole.

This is the minimum condition I think.

There are some groups that debuted without meeting these minimum requirements.

In an era where the trainee talent pool is already shrinking, it will not be easy for a new company to select only members with all of the qualifications.

It is not that there are no success stories among such groups.

They may have a very unique concept or they may succeed in attracting attention with the probability of winning the lottery and end up on the charts.

However, among them, there is no case where an individual member achieved success.

Even if there is a short-term miracle, basic conditions must be met in order to make one’s name known to the public.

In addition to this, the conditions required for idols become more extensive when evaluating talent such as entertainment, rap, acting, etc., as well as personality, will, past, talent, and charm.

Therefore, idols are closer to selecting hexagonal all-rounders rather than selecting specialized talents.

It may be natural that we did not see the potential of S rank in idols, including the previous episode.

It’s a ridiculous expectation to expect an all-rounder to have the best talent in the world.

That’s why I couldn’t help but be astonished at the potential of the part-time girl in front of me.

The basic conditions exceed what I think are the minimum requirements, but he also has a center-level appearance and an S-rank vocalist.

This was truly an incredible talent.

I had a vague impression that if God created creatures for the purpose of making singers, they might have this potential.

“customer! Are you uncomfortable? “Shall I call an ambulance?”

The part-time woman was checking my consciousness by waving her hand in front of her eyes, probably worried that I was staring at the status window with my mouth open in a daze.

When I came to my senses, I immediately opened my mouth.

“What is your name?”

“… What is your name? “It’s called Oil Autumn!”

Ga Eul obediently told me her name without showing any signs of wariness.

I got straight to the point before she started chatting again.

“Are you thinking about becoming an idol?”

“… yes? “Idol?”

I took out the business card that Aram Cheon had given me and handed it to Gaeul.

“This is Seon Taeyang, the team leader at Two Bear Entertainment.”

The part-time woman who received a simple business card with only Lee Mae-il’s name, title, and phone number on it looked at it intently as if she would not miss a single piece of information.

“Are you the head of the agency?”

“This is probably the first name you’ve heard of. “It’s a new company that was recently created.”

I made excuses that had begun to become standardized through the recruitment attempts of the past period.

“You may feel uneasy about the name of a new company, but I am confident that the investment, facilities, and manpower are second to none.”

Investment and facilities seemed to be well resolved by Cheon Ah-ram.

There are only 3 manpower, but there were Chun Ah-ram, a human mystic, and me, a regressor.

Nowhere else would you have this kind of manpower.

I can’t say there’s no exaggeration, but everything I said was true.

“I got a glimpse of Ga-eul’s talent to reach the top. I hope you will join us on the journey of becoming the best idol with 2 Bear Entertainment.”

Yu Ga-eul silently listened to my suggestion.

And he spoke with all the puppy-like kindness he showed earlier gone.

“Thank you so much for your words! “But I don’t find it that convincing.”

In a soup restaurant with no customers, only the chef, who appeared to be the owner, looked on with interest, and Yoo Ga-eul opened her mouth.

“The last time the team leader saw me was when he saw me working part-time today, right? Even that was just a brief moment of ordering.”

“What Gaeul said is correct.”

“But what is it about me that makes you want me to become an idol? Is it also a face?”

She also did not know the value of her external appearance.

However, the high evaluation of him did not seem to be very pleasant.

I understood her a little.

“Is the idol profession an easy field where you can reach the top if you have a pretty face?”

First of all, to say that Autumn’s exterior is a little pretty would be a serious undervaluation.

“Gaeul’s exterior is so beautiful. I think you have enough charm to be called everyone’s first love. But that is not the only reason.”

But what we should talk about now is not to praise her appearance.

“You like singing, right?”

“… yes?”

“Not only do you like it, but you are also full of confidence, right? “To the point where most idols on TV are taken lightly.”

Autumn’s mouth gaped.

After muttering something that couldn’t be put into words, she quickly admitted.

“… “Do you sense that I have that kind of talent?”

“I felt talented. But the time that Gaeul accumulated. In other words, I also felt the effort.”

Among her abilities, vocal potential S was the part that caught the most attention.

However, his current ability level of A- was also worthy of attention.

Raising one grade divided into -, 0, and + may seem like a very slight numerical difference on the surface, but in reality, this is not the case.

A blister bursts again in the place where the blister burst, and before the wound heals, it takes time and effort to form a blister again and turn it into a hard callus, but only then can a B become a B+.

Gaeul’s current ability of A- was also a sign proving the time she had accumulated.

Even though she wasn’t even a professional, the effort she had to put in to improve her skills to that point was inadequate to express the effort she had to put in to that level.

It took more than just effort.

Maybe she loves singing.

So much so that the enormous effort that had to be put in to get to that area was seen as something to be enjoyed.

“If you become a team leader at an agency, will you be able to know all that without even listening to the songs?”

“Not everyone can know.”

“… “You’re bragging about that, right?”

“I would appreciate it if you thought of it as self-PR. “Because I’m a person who wants to look best to Gaeul as much as possible.”

Ga Eul smiled as if she didn’t know.

“… I understood that you thought more highly of me than I thought. “Thank you.”

Then he bowed his head and spoke.

“And I’m so sorry. “I don’t think I have time to be an idol.”

Honestly, that was what I expected.

Still, I wanted to know why.

“For what reason?”

Ga Eul said, pointing to herself wearing an apron.

“You might have guessed this by seeing me working so many part-time jobs, but I need money.”

“If you become an idol, you can earn hundreds of times the money you make now through part-time work.”

Ga Eul smiled weakly and said at my words.

“That’s what happens when you succeed.”

I was confident and asserted.

“If Gaeul becomes an idol at Two Bear Entertainment, she will definitely succeed. “That point was so obvious that I didn’t add anything.”

Autumn looked at me blankly.

It was like looking at a strange creature.

Then he covered his mouth and burst into laughter.

“Team Leader Seon is a truly amazing person. Like you said, if we work together, I think I will feel reassured regardless of failure or success.”

“then… .”

“I don’t think it will work though. “I need money right now.”

Ga Eul said with a sad expression on her face, as if she felt sorry for having to say this.

“I have a general understanding of the settlement system. “I heard that in order for an idol to receive a proper income, they have to think about at least a year.”

That was correct.

When a so-called large agency like SS achieves dramatic success, it may take a little over a year to receive payment.

But this was one of the most hopeful cases.

Typically, small and medium-sized businesses begin to receive their first payment between 3 and 5 years.

It is not because they are failed or evil agencies.

It was not easy to recover the investment costs and increase net profits.

“you’re right. Even if you are trying to line up the so-called super hit music charts, you have to think in terms of at least a year.”

“I can’t stand that time.”

“… .”

“I really appreciate the offer. But I’m thinking of quitting singing too. “Life is too busy to worry about that.”

“I think the interest and effort Gaeul put into singing went beyond the realm of a hobby. Are you okay with that?”

“In the end, my feelings for the song were only limited to that level. … “It’s just that you can easily give up when life gets busy.”

Ga Eul said it was easy to give up.

But the decision might not have been easy.

“So, I think it would be better to find another friend who can afford it.”

Autumn’s doctor seemed firm.

Still, I still had regrets and asked.

“If you need money, how much do you need?”

She asked with a serious expression.

“How much money do you think it takes to raise a middle school child with a dream of art?”

“… “I don’t have any knowledge about art entrance exams, so I can’t give you a definite answer.”

“I know. “I calculated it.”

Yu Ga-eul opened both hands and then folded them one by one.

“Food expenses, tuition, academy fees, material expenses, living expenses, applications, exams, hiring models, tuition, etc. “Even if we take everything out and use it sparingly, it would cost about 100 million won.”

She said, nodding her head slightly.

“Yes, the money I need is 100 million won.”

It was too much to make a declaration or a definite answer.

That’s why I couldn’t answer hastily.

Yu Ga-eul smiled softly, as if she had expected my silence.

“Is there anything else you want to say? Team Leader Seon?”

It was a gentle congratulatory message that there was nothing more to say about this topic.

But I still had something to say.

“Is it possible to pack two bowls of sundae soup?”

I ended up recruiting him by chance, but the reason I came here was to run an errand to buy sundae soup.

I did not forget my duty.

“Sundae soup? … ah.”

Ga Eul’s cheeks turned red and she lowered her head and spoke.

“I’ll do it right now! customer.”

I thought as I watched Yu Ga-eul rushing to the kitchen.

It’s really unfortunate, but I have to give up on that child.

Although I had money saved from my military salary and part-time jobs such as loading and unloading, it was not enough.

I cut out my regrets.

At that time, the quest window appeared.

[Spending other people’s money is always fun. Let’s have Cheon A-ram give Yu Ga-eul the money she wants instead!]

[Reward- Memory of Possibility]

No, he’s really throwing it away.

The words were good.

How great would it be if you could recruit Yoo Ga-eul without spending your own money?

If possible, I wanted to do that too.

The rewards were also good.

Memory of possibility was a short-term future prediction that showed the most likely future among situations that would occur in the near term.

Although it cannot show the distant future, it has great value because it has high specificity about the future.

For me, who remembers all the important information through regression, it was a better reward than fragments of the future.

Because I don’t know what the future holds.

However, it seemed unlikely that Cheon A-ram would pay.

Any CEO in their right mind would not invest 100 million won just to sign a contract, let alone invest in one trainee.

And Cheon A-ram was a sane president.

… maybe.
