It was a Saturday evening, but Kang Yoon and Lee Hyun stayed at the company without leaving work. Temples and owners weigh different laws. Jung Hye-jin, a planner, went home, but they had a lot of work to do, including organizing a contract with Kim Ji-min.

Kang Yoon glanced at the documents while drinking bitter coffee.

“You live with your grandmother? ”

Kang Yoon did not hide her embarrassment when she heard Kim Ji-min's family story from Lee Hyun. Based on the address, it was not far from Kang Yun's old house. Kang Yoon put out his tongue.

“The local restroom is also shared... ”

“Yes? Is there such a place? ”

“This is my old neighborhood. We don't have a few bathrooms, so we share them. Do people still live... ”

“... I'm even more surprised that you were in that neighborhood. ”

“It hasn't been that long since I've been warmed up in the capital. ”

Lee Hyun was surprised by Kang Yoon. I had seen Kang Yun's resume, but I didn't think I'd done all the hard work in that neighborhood.

Kang Yoon thought that Kim Ji-min's stability should be achieved first. It was said that only when I'm hungry can I really sing, but it didn't work in the same age. But there was a problem. It was money.

“... you can get a little house. It's so much better than that shack right now. ”

Luckily, Kang Yun said that Lee Hyun had a positive answer. She didn't really think the first trainee lived in a shack. But there was a problem.

“It's money. I don't worry about it because I know you'll make good money, but it won't be a worthless investment, will it? ”

Kim Ji-min was worried about her. No matter how many trainees I get, I don't know what will happen to the world.

Kang Yoon agreed to understand her concerns and reassured her that she would not let that happen.

“We have to do our best. From now on, we are going together. ”

“Yeah, well, that's the kind of loyalty the boss had. There were more than one person who fell in love with that virtue. ”

“Hahaha.”

Kang Yun shrugged.

Eventually, they gathered their opinions that Kim Ji-min would find a place to stay with her grandmother. And I decided to let him practice every day after school. Lee Hyun said he would hire teachers to teach vocal lessons, and Kang Yoon said he knew.

So the inside of Kim Ji-min was over. Next was Lee Hyun-ah.

“... Lee Hyun-ah from here? ”

Lee Hyun-si, who had heard the story from Kangyun, twisted her arm. Will it be easy for the band to succeed? It wasn't easy for her.

“What did you give them? ”

“I thought I'd give it some thought. The band is a difficult item to succeed with. It's hard to accept with intimacy alone. ”

“You must have been disappointed. Maybe you thought you were on a high pass. ”

“It's work. ”

Lee Hyun-ji nodded at Kangyun's words. The company is no joke. Bringing in a group was difficult to determine by intimacy alone.

“Do you think Lee Hyun-ah and the band are likely to succeed? ”

Kang Yoon did not comment easily. Lee Hyunah was definitely attractive. It was definitely a step to move beyond the title of the Red Goddess. I also wrote a song. It was an outstanding singer-songwriter on a personal basis. The question was whether the band had succeeded as a star, or whether it had succeeded as a major in the band.

Based on all of this, Kang Yoon was difficult to make a decision easily. Lee Hyun also added that he knew his worries.

“It's hard for the band. because in the past, I've been in so many bands of concepts, and most of them are ruined. Besides, it's a male and female hybrid, so it's not easy to specialize in fans. ”

Kang Yoon agreed with her. But something stuck in my mind.

‘Bands, bands... After all, I'm making money from the performance… "

If I gave up neatly, I could give up. But something was missing.

Kang Yun's concerns did not sink easily.

--------------------------------

Everything that was happening now was like a dream.

Lee came to the school and submitted a pretext for early dismissal, saying that he would only be in the morning class because he would be living as a celebrity trainee in the future. After submitting the guardian's consent and all documents relating to the company, the school accepted them without much effort. I was a little disappointed because it was a small company.

“Jimin!! A real trainee? Amazing!!"

“My friend's celebrity?! ”

As rumors spread, Kim Ji-min became a huge topic among his friends. However, she remained in good relationships with an attitude that did not change significantly.

The next change was the listing. Kim Ji-min, who had lived in a shack her whole life, could not believe the little Turum in front of her eyes.

“... Wow... ”

Even though the level is not wide, I go into a tidy room and look at the room, but everything is like a dream. There was everything on the computer in the bed.

“Oh, Ms. Grant. What if I'm grateful for this? ”

Kim Ji-min's grandmother held Kang-yoon's hand tightly. I heard that my granddaughter was a trainee or something, but I never thought I'd get a house like this. Kang Yoon also held her hand gently.

“Jimin will take you to a better home in the future. They're going to give us something bigger, and this is nothing. ”

“Oh, thank you. ”

Kim Ji-min's grandmother was just grateful.

After dealing with the school and house problems, the cleanup around Kim Ji-min was roughly over. All that was left was the proper training. And it was the first training day in history.

“How do you do?"

Kim Ji-min went to World Entertainment after finishing her morning class at school. I greeted Jung Hye-jin who was guarding the company's office and headed to the underground studio.

“Welcome. ”

In the studio, Professor Kang Yun and Chanyang were waiting for her. Kim Ji-min nervously greeted Professor Choi, who had never seen him before.

After a brief introduction, the three people sat down and began to talk.

“Jimin, the professor will be in charge of your vocal training starting today. I have a lot to learn in the future, but singing is a fundamental part of the basics, so should I study hard? ”

“Yes, I'll work hard. ”

Kim Ji-min's eyes were full of motivation. Professor Choi smiled to see if he was satisfied.

“No, I want you to take good care of me. I've never done vocal training before. ”

Kim Ji-min's eyes shook. Then Kang Yoon went out.

“He's a professor at Hankyo Art University. He's a professor of vocal training, but he teaches students by composing. Opportunities like this are rare. And work hard because the vocabulary you're going to learn isn't going to be anywhere. ”

“Teaching.... Professor Hic. ”

Kim Ji-min choked on the tension. Then Professor Choi Hyuk smiled and relaxed her.

Kang Yoon continued to explain as she seemed to have calmed down a little.

“SLS pronunciation, which comes from vocal chords that can digest any genre of popular or classical. ”

I thought there was such a magical way of speaking, but Kim Ji-min trusted Kang Yun's words. Kang Yun added, her eyes dazzled.

“It's hard to see the effects for people who have already learned to fertilize. But you didn't learn your voice separately, so I figured you could learn. This works for people who don't have vocal habits. This is a speech that nobody can teach without a certificate. So learn well. ”

“Yes.”

Kang Yoon didn't talk for much longer. Kim Ji-min took his place pushing the tables in the studio.

“Now, can you repeat that? Ah--"

“Ah--”

Professor Choi commenced with a basic speech. Kim Ji-min gave her voice as she normally did. Then Professor Choi shakes his head.

“Let's go with the feeling of being natural. Listen. Ahhh--”

Kang Yoon sat down and listened carefully to the two voices. Professor Choi Hyang repeated the same "ah" twice. The former is composed of scratching sounds, and the latter comfortably hisses.

“What's the difference between two sounds? ”

“I think the sound made it harder. The sound behind me was relaxing. ”

“That's right. Good ears. ”

The compliment did not make Kim Ji-min dance, but made her happy.

“The point of the SLS speech is here. Comfortable and tidy. With the perfect digestion of this voice, you can stretch even higher notes comfortably. ”

“Ahh... ”

Then, I was amazed by Kim Ji-min. It was an unexpected story.

“Let's do it. Ahhh--"

“Ahhh--"

“What's the sound? The larynx is down. It's about finding the right location for the larynx. Again. Ahhh--”

“Ahhh--"

Starting with the basic speech, Ji-min Kim's vocal training began. After watching the practice slowly light up, Kang Yoon left the door quietly.

I went to the office and the area was wrapped around my head and hung from work. Kang Yun sat quietly in his seat without interruption.

"Band, what do I do about the band? ’

The band problem was really difficult. How to generate income, this was a big problem. Acting as a unit almost caught the attention of the revenue sharing problem among the members. Lee Hyun-ah was not the only one who wanted entertainment for no reason.

‘But so far, no one's done it. There is definitely Merritt, the first success. Plus, your skills are guaranteed. Increasing the performances you are performing and marketing correctly can be a definite card. ’

If it can be packed properly and delivered, there is definitely Merritt. Moreover, there is a foundation built in Hongdae. You can expect a good response if you can maintain your existing musical color while changing the musical color to the general public.

‘If you accept it, it's important how you make money. However, Lee Hyun-ah can't be good at acting or craftsmanship, and no one else can. It's music after all... Music, music. Music... ah. ’

At that time, there was an idea that was going through Kang Yun's head.

‘The main income of the band is the concert. Lee Hyunah's foundation is indie band. Why did I only think of concert revenues for a large concert? Hahaha.’

Come to think of it, Lee Hyunah was already making money on indie activities. However, there was a clear distinction between working through the company and opening the stage for individuals. Moreover, I was able to concentrate solely on the music so I could expect it to improve quality.

‘I carry the band around the stage and earn money and build awareness on the broadcast. And get fans and a big concert? I don't know if I can make enough money for the event, but I think I can make a lot of money. ’

I remembered what I was missing. These were not ordinary celebrities. He was a singer from India. The advantage of indie singers was that they had maniacs. These, who specialize in providing fan services for specific fans, and if the number increases, scary fans are formed. And profits...

“Great!! ”

Kang Yoon shouted without me knowing. I looked back in surprise at Lee, who was focusing on work beside me.

“Is something wrong? ”

“Ah…. ”

Kang Yun felt embarrassed at the moment because of the unknown expression in Lee.

.

.

.

Kang Yoon called Lee Hyun-ah to pull out the horn as well. She quickly went straight to the World's office on Kang Yun's call.

Lee Hyunah asked while drinking coffee from Jeong Hye-jin.

“What did you call me about? ”

Lee Hyunah's question was accompanied by expectations and anxiety. He didn't give me a clear answer before. But in her heart, she had a strange expectation that Kang Yoon would be something different.

Kang Yoon started talking whether he knew it or not.

“You said you wanted to join our agency. The whole band. ”

“Yes.”

“I need to talk to you about that. It's going to be tricky. Are you going to be okay?”

There was hope in Kang Yun's story. She glares at you, nodding naturally.

“Yes, yes!! As expected, my brother.... ”

“Let's hear it through and judge. The conditions won't be easy. You're gonna have to sacrifice a lot. ”

“Sacrifice?”

Lee Hyunah wondered at the bad expression. But he thought it was a sacrifice since he had not already gone to the palanquin.

“It's okay. If I was afraid of that, I would have gone to Yarn. ”

“Okay, then I'll start with the hardest one. ”

Kang Yun talked about revenue distribution. Lee Hyun, it was about the distribution of money that the individual made. Kang Yoon said the money should also be shared with members. That opened her eyes.

“No, the money I made? ”

“Of course, the other members' money will be divided in the same proportion. But in all seriousness, you must be the most profitable. You lose.”

Since Kang Yun told me about the money herself, she began to worry too. Obviously, the reality of having to be with everyone and the fact that it cost money was not easy.

Lee Hyuna pondered for a moment and gave me strong eyes.

“... Okay. So if I sacrifice all this, I get to come in here? ”

Lee Hyunah threw a stone's ball. However, Kang Yoon still drew the line.

“Just a little more. Honestly, I'm in a good position when you come in. Our agency is just getting started, so maybe it feels more like a military presence to you than it does to you. So…”

“But you're not going to let me. ”

“Th…. Yes, it is.”

“You're going to use me somehow to profit. If I come in here. ”

She's right. She stops talking and looks at Kang Yun as if she's telling the truth.

“... let me get this straight. If you come here, it's going to be a lot of trouble. Maybe less money than he's been living in India for a while. But…”

“But?”

Her eyes gleam from this spot.

“I'll make sure of it. The number of performances will increase before now. But the real purpose... ”

“Purpose?"

“10,000 people. A big concert.”

Her eyes turned to a flashlight.

“10,000 people?! ”

10,000 horses. That wasn't easy to say. Even the woman who wanted to come here doubted whether she was credible. However, Kang Yoon continued to talk calmly.

“Four fans so far, and four fans to be made on the air, four images to be made. They all add up to two years. Our company should be able to afford about 10,000 concerts by then. Don't worry, I'll never do anything rude to ask you for a personal favor. ”

“Ah…. Hahahaha.”

Lee Hyunah laughed awkwardly. 10,000 people. It was either the size of the company or Lee Hyun-ah's band fans. But Kang Yoon said that. I didn't think it was a lie. If the whole band was treated like this, I had nothing else to think about.

“I'll be here. The other kids won't say anything. ”

“It's going to be a lot of trouble in the beginning. I can't even say. She might blame me. ”

“It's okay, it's okay. 10,000 people, 10,000 people... ”

She laughs if she falls for the seduction of a large concert. For the band, a big concert was a huge magical seduction.

That's how Lee Hyun-ah's band and his bandits ended up nesting in the world.

-----------------------------

“Ms. Grant, you didn't say much on the broadcast? ”

The day of the audition program. Monitoring was done and the site was playfully bruised.

“I couldn't say anything because I was hurting everyone in front of me. ”

“Foot. You have to make a horse that doesn't exist. Look at Jaehyuk. He's making up words that aren't there. because I'm a great singer. ”

As Lee said, volunteer number 209 was clean and quiet. However, Lee Jae-hyuk continued to beat volunteers because he lacked something. And that volume was made broadcast. Later, Jaehyuk told me that he liked the volunteer and that he felt sorry for him that he would do better.

“You don't shine much compared to those two. Is it because you don't know it yet? ”

Kang Yoon shook his head when he asked prankly where Lee is.

“It wasn't easy to find a real stone in the sand. It wasn't easy to find real wood, even if there were a lot of people with good voices. Maybe they were trying to make a broadcast, too. ”

“I think so. I think your standards are too high... ”

“Maybe so. ”

Kang Yoon shrugged his shoulders. It was my first appearance, but I was unfortunate that I didn't have a great effect. But I didn't have any talent. Moreover, Kim Ji-min didn't come out because he was edited. The real talent was here.

“Yes, hello. Ah, PD. ”

When Kang Yun was monitoring with an uninteresting face, Lee received a tone of phone calls to PD. As she reflects her social life skills, laughter has not ceased throughout the phone.

After the call, she sighed for a long time.

“Ms. Grant, you've reached ONE STAR Feedy. It's work."

“Work?”

“Yes, they want me to compose one out of 10 volunteers. ”

“Arrangements?”

“Yes. The station will pay for everything, of course. Your price went up with the T-Anti case. You have to show me what you did this time, right? ”

Kang Yoon smiled as if he knew.
