God of Music

< 36RM - Fall Men's Season >

With a quiet piano accompaniment, Kim Jae-hoon's voice quietly resounded.

“I can 't-- I can't have any wishes--"

Kim Jae-hoon's song filled the stage. The tranquil piano accompaniment quickly added an effect as the sound of the slide pops out along with the sound of the drum.

Kim Jae-hoon lifted his microphone and strengthened his neck as he added strength to his accompaniment.

“After a while -- I asked you -- if I could feel my breath --"

The usual bass became rough. The sound spreads coolly with a slight grinding sound. Grinding in a harsh rock, he looked completely different to his fans and officials.

What is this? ’

Kim Jae-hoon's song was completely different from before. But the basics didn't go anywhere. At first, the foreign audiences began to become drawn to the color of dark songs.

‘I don't think it's your style. ’

‘But I really like it. ’

‘Oppa is so awesome... ’

It was a song that was completely different from Kim Jae-hoon's style until the time of the invention. After verse 1 and verse 2, the audience got rid of the feeling of awkwardness and raised their hands. The flashcards that went down came back up.

“The pain of the past -- the love that couldn't be attained -- but it's okay now -- come back --”

Kim Jae-hoon's high notes burst out. In succession of notes popping out of a man's indigestible height, called the GM key, audiences flashed with surprise and elasticity.

“Wow... ”

“Awesome... ”

Although I was originally going down to F # M, Kang Yoon accepted Kim Jae-hoon's words of wanting to try something even for the showcase.

Industry officials did not react too differently from the audience.

“It looks like Kim Jae-hoon took a tight knife. ”

“This sounds like a title song. ”

“That's creepy. ”

From distributors to broadcasters, everyone gathered together in one voice. The extremely thinning pitch in the heavy voice surprised everyone. No one expected Kim Jae-hoon to come out with a powerful lock.

That was the end of the song that creeped everyone out.

“..... ”

“..... ”

A moment of silence passed. It was Kim Jae-hoon who broke the silence.

“Thank you."

With him.

Mate, mate, mate.

A round of applause erupted. And...

“Waaaahhhhh------! ”

Lunas is engulfed by an unprecedented scream.

Kim Jae-hoon looked at Kang Yoon behind the theater. Kang Yun was expressing that it was natural.

‘You were right. ’

Jae-hoon Kim was strongly convinced by people's reactions.

Challenges against other genres. It's worth a try.

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

After the showcase ends.

Soon after, Kim Jae-hoon's record was released.

People were interested because it was Kim Jae-hoon's album who spent a lot of time talking and talking. The showcase brought rumors from fan clubs, emerging stars, music videos taken with ‘Shinhee’, and from the music counter at KS TV, the cable station that gave it a special stage to come to comeback in glamour.

With all of these things being synergistic to public relations, Kim Jae-hoon's interest in sound recording grew.

“That's odd. ”

Nine hours since we released the recording at 9: 00 this morning.

Lee Hyun-si tilted her head to see the sound recordings during the morning meeting.

“Jae-hoon's first place is natural, but it's not like 'Time with You’ is pushed out and 'Only One' is ranked first. I hadn't thought of that. ”

Kang Yun shrugged.

“It seems like a new attempt has impressed people. ”

Then Jae-hoon Kim said.

“Maybe it's the notes? I also think my country really likes high notes. ”

“I have a high preference for notes. This song is very harmonious. ”

“That's right, but I can't keep running live on GM either. ”

Jae-hoon Kim shakes his head. I didn't think I'd have a neck if I called it what I wanted. Kang Yoon said he knew. Next time he had something to sing, he said, "Let's get off to F # M." Jae-hoon Kim nodded.

Lee Hyun-ji returned to the album story.

“From 1st to 4th place, it's all Jae-hoon's songs. It's our first day, and we're interested in it, but we've got a long way to go. because there's actually not a lot of revenue from sound recordings. ”

“You must all be busy. ”

“That's right. Are you going with Jae Hoon this time? ”

“I'm going to leave it to my manager. I'm interested in white moonlight performances and mindfulness. ”

Kim Jae-hoon showed a slight tingling sensation, but Kang-yoon patted his shoulder lightly.

After that, Lee Hyun showed Kim Jae-hoon the schedule. Although not as much as May, local events, including broadcasts, were subtracted.

“That's a lot. It's not even May. ”

“We don't have to work together then. Now we just need to relax and see what happens after. ”

“A national tour?”

Kang Yoon nodded in response to Jae-hoon Kim's question. Then I was surprised and asked.

“Wait. The National Tour? It's not going to be easy to fund. It's never gonna happen at the end of the year... ”

“It's not the end of the year. We have to decide when we want to look at this album's performance. If the event is going well and performance is good, I think it will be possible in spring or summer. ”

“I have a quick feeling, but it will give me some time to spare and Jae-hoon will have time to practice. ”

That concludes the story of Jae-hoon Kim.

Jae-hoon Kim left the company with Dae-hyun Kim because he had a schedule.

Only Lee Hyun and Kang Yun were left in the office. Instead of her usual coffee, she drew water and brought out other topics.

“White moonlight is also building awareness during regular performances, and if you make a debut as far as Jimin, you're out of the small business. Well, it's going to take some time to turn it into black. ”

“The white moonlight is still paying off. We'll be able to make it to Major by the end of next summer. If you promote that the baby is good enough to sing to Jae-hoon in regular performances, then Major will eat well. We're going to run a little bit of press. ”

“Ms. Grant, I need you to stop doing that. It's hard.”

Kang Yun responded with a big smile when he played a prank on Lee's location.

“I decline.”

“This is between us? ”

“Yes.”

Lee Hyeonji laughed with a loud voice.

The company atmosphere was good, so the story of the two of them was also lively. Then Lee told a different story. It was about external trends.

“I just met with a moving director. ”

“I heard you've been to America. Have you heard anything? ”

“I heard you met Ethios. ”

“Ethios…. ”

Kang Yoon's voice sounded out. When I heard about Ethios, it bothered me the whole time. It was a sentence like that with something on it.

Lee Hyun-ji continued to talk.

“I heard Ethios' contract is about to expire. So I went to ask him what he thought. But I didn't think all of Ethiopia was going to re-contract with the MG. ”

“It's worth it. You don't want to be in a company that has come up with a reckless strategy to screw themselves up. ”

Kang Yun shakes his head.

Lee Hyun-ji could feel the emotion of MG entertainment from Kangyun. It was not well revealed, but he was furious. She calmly told me about Ethios, if she knew her heart.

“The director had hoped that Ethiopia would re-contract anywhere, even if it wasn't an MG. But Ethiopia isn't cheap. I expect it will cost three times what I signed with Jae-hoon Kim."

“You caught it smaller than I thought. ”

“From domestic vacancies to diamonds. because they're worth a lot less right now. But I don't think it's a possibility, and Ethios is complicated. Anyway, if you sign with Ethiopia, you also have to invest in future albums. We should treat the deposit as a top star in the cost of the album... and companies the size to contract with Ethios would find it better to raise a younger group of newcomers. It'll be cheaper to pick and create albums, because we have trainees anyway. ”

“Not really.”

Kang Yun was angry but calmly judged.

Fourth year of my debut, and now I'm Edius, the once great singer. Will we be able to pull out the investment? There couldn't have been any companies to make this decision easily. It was literally in motion.

“What would you do? ”

“..... ”

Kang Yoon could not answer easily. It was a business. You can't just move on with your passion. The brothers and sisters affected by Kang Yun's decision were not alone.

Lee told me if he knew what he was thinking.

“That's why the director was so careful with the doctor. Can't you accept Ethios from the world? ”

“..... ”

“I felt responsible for moving here. He wanted to somehow take responsibility for losing his seat. ”

“Technically, it's not his fault. I tried to stop him somehow. ”

“It broke my heart that I couldn't stop the mob from going to America at the MG. Anyway, I've held back the answer that it's not up to me to decide. ”

“Very well. I'll think about it and decide. You're not taking this lightly. ”

Kang Yoon didn't say any more. Lee Hyun also felt that he needed time to think and did not bring up any more stories.

Then came the story of white moonlight with Kim Ji-min, and the morning meeting ended.

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

Lunas was smooth.

I struggled because of not being booked for about two weeks in October, but the local events, including Lee Jun Heat's fan meetings, and white moonlit performances also aroused the curiosity of the indies. Finally, Kim Jae-hoon's showcase kept getting booked.

As a result, the Hongdae Theatre is in a state of emergency to knock Lunas out. Prices and facilities do not win at all. Lunas was preferred by indie bands who were particularly popular and relaxed for a single performance. As popular bands disappeared from the venue, the performers became a pain in the ass.

Eventually, the small venues began to get booked by bands secretly playing in Lunas. One or two theaters, so many theaters were booked naturally.

Greenlight had a headache for Lee Chang-sun, who was struggling among the theater owners.

“Ugh... ”

In the office at the top of the concert hall, he came and went restless.

“Is that Lunas digging and selling? Why the fuck not make good people money? ”

He blames only Lunas.

The price, the facilities, and the greenlight were no better than any other theater could catch up with Lunas. However, they could not be recklessly refurbished. If he can't pay for the repairs, he's full of worries.

The conclusion was that it was neither like this nor like that.

I was just thinking about it and the phone rang. It was an entertainment secretarial room.

“Oh, yes. How do you do?"

Unlike usual, Yoon Chang-sun was extremely polite. It was hard to find a respectful appearance for the secretary as well.

In the secretarial office, I simply said in a blunt voice.

- The boss took care of what he said. Lower the price and we'll fund you accordingly.

“Really? Thank you, thank you!! ”

- Be sure to attach receipts and required documents. Yeah, sure.

The voice of a work-tone man disappeared from my phone. Even though it was a hard phone call, Yoon Chang-sun's face was wide open.

“Yes, yes!! I searched!! ”

He shouted, "Away! Away!"

Prices and facilities.

You grin at the price of a weapon against Lunas.

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

November.

World Entertainment was on a pilgrimage.

Everyone was faithful to their roles and the company was running properly.

Lee selected a new manager to be in charge of Jae-hoon Kim and asked Dae-hyun Kim to take over the job. Ji-hye, who became the new manager, was a woman with a good impression in her early 30s. She has a strong personality for the costume coordinator career and Lee Hyun-seo has chosen her. It was because I thought that Kim Jae-hoon would be well cared for by her relaxed and lively personality, including costumes. Sustained Hye Manager, as she thought, went out on a schedule to assist Jae-hoon Kim from day one.

Park So-young has been coming to the company a lot lately. But no one touched it. Even Kim Jin-dae said that Park So-young would get a job here after graduating. I heard a voice from Second-hee on that rally.

However, Kang Yoon-do and Park So-young did not easily mention about employment.

One day the cold wind started to blow in early November.

Kang Yoon was packing a bag at home.

“You said it's autumn weather in my country, right? ”

Kang Yoon, who put an autumn garment and a winter coat in the carrier and a few underwear, took the necessary toiletries. I filled my luggage with a laptop and some documents for work.

And finally, I took the plane ticket and passport and put them on the desk.

Looking at Kang, Jae-hoon asked.

“Suddenly America. What happened to Hee Yun? ”

“No, I have someone I want to meet. ”

“He must be important. ”

Kang Yoon smiled slightly, but did not mention any specific stories.

The next day, dawn.

Kang Yoon headed to Incheon Airport. I said I would take you to this location, but I didn't want to. Time flew by on a limousine bus to the airport and underwater.

[Ace flights to Los Angeles will begin boarding shortly from gate 24. Our guests….]

When I went to the duty-free shop and bought some cigarettes and other items, it became boarding time. Kang Yoon moved to the gate and got into Economy Stone.

"Later on, you have to be president of first class. ’

Kang Yoon, sitting by the window, resolved to face the direction of first class.

That's 12 hours.

Kang Yun arrived at LA International Airport. Hee Yun was waiting for him when he arrived at the airport.

“Brother!! ”

Hee Yoon rushed to meet Kang Yoon in a month.

“Brother, what brings you here? ”

“I have someone I want to meet. ”

“Me?”

Kang Yoon wrapped his arms around his brother's shoulders, smiling bloody at Hee Yun's prank.

The brother and sister talked about things all night long.

Hee Yun glared at the story of a friend she met at school. Kang Yoon blossomed with stories of singers singing songs from Hee Yun. Yun blushed his face like a child, saying that all the singers who received the songs were good songs.

Kang Yoon said it was so bright that he fell asleep at the end of the morning. It was past noon when I opened my eyes.

‘Let's go first. ’

Kang Yoon went to the car rental company and rented a car and started driving. His destination was MG Entertainment America Branch. Kang Yoon parked in a nearby paid parking lot and entered a cafe with a good view of his office.

After ordering a simple meal and coffee, he turned on his laptop.

‘Very few people come and go. ’

The MG entertainment office was quiet. There were very few people in the building, and I couldn't hear much noise inside the building. It was doubtful that I had come to the wrong place.

However, Kang Yoon continued to wait.

One hour, two hours, and three hours passed. I could have entered the office and met him in person, but I wanted to meet him quietly. It was a hassle but I took the trouble. Ethios is worth it, he thought.

About the time the sunset started, one person opened the branch door and left. She was a woman wearing training clothes that lightly attached to her long hair.

‘Found it.'

Kang Yoon, who found the woman, lit up her eyes. Then he quickly took his belongings and ran out of the café.

.

.

.

“Hah... ”

The woman sighs deeply as she makes her way down the street. I did not enjoy practicing on my own. I wish we could practice together. At some point, the other members didn't even practice. Even the week I liked singing the song is useless and I don't get stuck in my room, so other members didn't have to say anything.

“Ailee Gore would grow belly if she just kept rolling. ”

She blames the poor Ali for nothing. But I thought you'd listen if I asked you to practice with me. It seemed that everyone was no longer motivated to practice.

“Well, that's enough. ”

I felt a slight crumple in my bitter thoughts. Everyone says they don't do it, so what are you going to do with yourself? It was all for nothing.

She shakes her head lightly.

“Yes. That's far enough. ”

“What are we doing here? ”

The moment she was about to give up, too.

Suddenly, you hear a man's voice behind you. She flinches, startled. Turning around, there is an unfamiliar man who could not have imagined to see here, but he stands smiling.

“Ah…. Mister?”

“Mina. Long time... ”

“Mister!! ”

Without a chance to say goodbye, she runs to the man. His heart bursts with tears. The man gently stroked her head and back.

Those two people were shining a bright red sunset.
