God of Music

“Solo?”

“Mina?”

I looked at Jung Mina with surprised eyes. No Ethiopian member has ever made an album as a unit since his debut. If you were to release an album as a unit, you'd be yourself. You're unexpected, Jung Mina.

I never imagined that Jung Mina and Kang Yun would talk about the solo album where all the members were gathered.

“Ahjussi. Suddenly, it's a solo album.”

“Why? No? ”

“That's not it... ”

I couldn't have hated it. However, Kang Yun asked openly, Jung Mina hesitated to answer. I couldn't help but notice the other members. But there was another charm to being on stage as Solo Mina.

Rather, the horse came from somewhere else. Han Ju-yeon said.

“Mina doesn't have enough songs for performance... I'm worried it's going to be okay.”

However, Kang Yoon shakes his head, not worrying.

“It's all right. I won't let you think about your abilities. It's better for Mina to focus on performance at all. There's no good in spreading it out so clumsily. Mina's the only one who can get everyone off the dance floor. It's a song. If you play it well, you can beat it. We can go to the AR. ”

I was surprised by what all the Ethiopian members said. Unlike other girl groups with MR voices flowing together, Ethios has used an original MR with no voice at all. Those who know him have acknowledged that Ethiopia is good. He's an Ethiopian who fires live and makes choreographies like knives, and he goes onstage to AR without caring about singing? I had no idea how violent performance could be.

“I knew it…. ”

Jung Mina was amazed. He brought an album that was optimized for him. I felt more trustworthy because it wasn't just about my past relationships.

“If Mina is just dancing.... ”

“Will it work?”

I couldn't help but agree with Christie. Everyone knew Jung Mina's dance well. If you look at the chief, you'll be the top of the girls' group, which everyone can confidently say.

After the story about Jung Mina, Kristi asked.

“Do you have a solo plan for other members? ”

“I'll be honest with you. Nothing.”

“Ah…. ”

Inside Christie was disappointed with Kang Yun's decisive answer. No, not for a week. I had hoped that there would be a song because there was a performance-driven album, but I was disappointed.

However, Kang Yun's answer did not end there.

“Not until next year, of course. But if it goes as planned and Edius succeeds in his comeback, then you'll need your unit's stage. I think it's possible if people want what you're capable of and get what you want. ”

“..... ”

“I hear you're losing your sense of stage. I think it's going to take a while to find that feeling. Being on stage alone is completely different from being on stage. I can only see Mina right now. ”

Suddenly, everyone shut up about the flying stone. No one could deny his words. Kang Yoon also gave me a future, but also pointed out the current problem. I shook my head to see if everyone had been stabbed. I regretted the times I had lost my mind.

Kang Yun gently continued to speak whether he knew the heart.

“Maybe we should start with vocal training. I think you should keep your face on the talent or radio while you take care of yourself. Han Yoo might want to learn poppins. ”

Kang Yoon picked up a specific future that no one had suggested. Everyone felt like they saw the light in the dark. Everyone nods dazed.

But the contract had to be careful. Lee Sam-soon carefully asked.

“I don't know much about World Entertainment... Let me ask you a few questions. Hard as MG, isn't it? ”

“I honestly can't keep up with the MG in terms of money. You can ride economies instead of first class like you do now. We're definitely a small company compared to the MG. ”

Kang Yun said honestly. How many companies can support you as much as MG entertainment in Korea? Funding was definitely better for MG entertainment.

Alijeong said.

“In summary, comeback in Korea to the deposit. And individual solo albums. So this is your condition? ”

“That's right."

He gave Ethios everything he thought he needed. All that remained was their decision.

Jung Mina who heard about the solo album wanted to answer before anyone else, but she stepped back. It was because I was worried that if she heard the best conditions, she might get upset first.

Rather, it was Seo Han Yoo who went first.

“I have to talk more, but I'm okay on these terms. ”

“Han Yoo.”

Han Ju-yeon was surprised and looked at Seo Han Yoo. However, Seo Han-kyu insisted.

“The future is the one we were most worried about. He said he would fix it. First class? That's enough money for us. If the company gets bigger in the future, why don't you do it for me? Sam-soon, you said Idol is raising the prison these days, right? ”

“That's right. Last time I went into the community, they confirmed that there was a prison called Place. ”

In response, Yoon said in a strong tone whether he was empowered.

“If you're planning our Edios, it's not like you're building 10 prisons. I'm going to the world. ”

My sister's eyes curled up in her intradural protrusion. I was originally a cautious youngest, so I was surprised. However, Seo Han-kyu's eyes did not waver to see if the idea had already been decided.

‘She's not the kind of girl to be rude. ’

‘Did Han Yoo have that side? ’

It was a surprise that took place in Hanju and Christie. Aelee Jung and Lee Sam-soon spoke up and exchanged opinions on what to do.

Kang Yoon told Seo Han Yoo.

“Thank you for your consideration. I'll pick you up the day your contract expires. ”

“Yes.”

“I'll send you the details of the contract deposit and more later. Let me know if you need anything else. ”

Kang Yoon also did not think that Seo Han Yoo would come out so aggressively. Thanks for stepping up first.

Kang Yoon said, looking at Seo Han Yoo.

“I heard you're exercising. ”

“Yes, I go around the park every day. I go to the gym.”

“Really? Okay. You don't have to think about making a body for a while. You don't even have to control your diet. But I want you to get stronger. Eat regularly, exercise regularly. We rehearse songs and dances every day. Okay?"

“Yes.”

Seo Han Yoo nodded. Kang Yoon said he would send me the exercises if I needed to, and Seo Han-kyu asked me to sing the assignments. Kang Yoon said he would mail it in a few days with the materials.

I was jealous as the work proceeded. Aelee Jung raised her hands and asked.

“Hey, boss. What happens if we just sign a contract and we split up? ”

“Hey!! ”

“Hey!! ”

Hanju, Cristina, and Jung Mina all stopped Alien Jung. However, Kang Yun said he was fine, raising his hand and answering. It wasn't supposed to happen, but it did.

“I want all of Ethiopia, but I'll take it if it doesn't. If that's the case, we'll have to publish the album with the kids who came. If I come back, I'll release the album with just one. You can't let a singer down for trusting me, can you? ”

Kang Yun's answer was clear. Repay the singer's belief. Eventually, he said he would do whatever it took to get on stage. I felt a sense of responsibility and weight in his words.

Kang Yun last wedged.

“You asked me to come with you to the end at first. I'm a man of my word. ”

His words echoed everyone's heart deeply. He still remembered the story before his debut.

“Even if things don't go well, I know you have a chance. You can do it. Let's start over.”

Silence comes from all of us. The Ethiopian members were ashamed of their lazy past, saying it was over. However, Kang Yoon brought what he needed the most. Everything was like a dream.

First of all, Joo-yeon broke the silence.

“I'll sign it. ”

Afterwards, Lee Sam-soon and Kristi also said.

“Me, too."

“Me, too."

After everyone told Kang Yoon that they were going to sign the contract, only Jung Min-ah was left. Then she relaxed and said what she saw.

“I'll sign it, too. ”

Hearing Jung Mina's words, Kang Yoon reached out to everyone. Ethiopia holds his hand together.

“Please take good care of it. ”

“Yes!! ”

Their strong answer echoes through the cafe.

Kang Yoon went back to Korea after making a verbal agreement with Ethiopia.

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

Unlike the past, Ji-min began to receive a variety of training, unlike the one she had focused solely on.

Essential craftsmanship, from English to Chinese. World Entertainment invested as much in her as in a large company, and she was seeing the consequences.

“Ahoy, it's a princess, Princess. ”

Lee Hyeon-si grumbled a little while paying the budget for Kim Ji-min. I didn't think Kang Yun would invest more than vocal training. A small agency invested too much in a trainee. I knew that there was no fear of failure or Kang Yun's eyes were good at seeing singers, but this boldness made me chew the heart of Lee.

Same time.

Jung Hye-jin carefully opened the door of the studio to get the receipt.

“Someday I stopped -- through the rain --”

“Lower your vocal chords. ”

“Suddenly--”

Kim Ji-min and Professor Choi Chan-yang were practicing.

The two of them continued to be obsessed with practicing whether they didn't know that Jeong Hye-jin was here. Jeong Hye-jin was popular, but the two of them did not think about breaking their focus.

Eventually, after the song ended, Tom spoke up for a while.

“Jimin.”

“Hyejin? ”

Kim Ji-min then looked back at Jeong Hye-jin. Professor Choi Hyang bowed his head lightly and greeted him. Jung Hye-jin answered and turned his eyes to Kim Ji-min.

“Jimin, I came to get a receipt last week. ”

“Oh, right. Excuse me, excuse me. ”

They were supposed to be given yesterday. Kim Ji-min apologized and went to the couch to get the receipt. I was getting the receipt from the bag, but it was weird with Professor Choi and Hye-jin.

What is it?

Kim Ji-min tilted his head. You seem energetic and suddenly calm when you come.

“Here.”

“Thank you. I'll be going now, professor. ”

“Yes, see you later. ”

Jung Hye-jin went out and Kim Ji-min asked.

“Teacher, what did you talk about with Hyejin? ”

“Huh? I didn't say much. ”

“Hmm. Strange. ”

Kim Ji-min tilted his head.

Then the tight rehearsal started again. After studying a variety of vocal training and music theory lessons, Kim Ji-min had everything she needed for the singer.

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

Kang Yoon returned from the United States in three days. It was a short schedule, meeting only Hee Yun and Ethiopia, digested a tight schedule and headed straight to the company.

After returning, Kang Yun told Lee what he had experienced in the United States at the first morning meeting.

“…. You finally made a deal with Ethios. ”

Lee Hyun said he knew this would happen. However, soon I spoke about my concerns.

“You'll have to solve a lot of challenges in the future. Trademark issues can lead to discrimination. ”

Kang Yoon calmly caused the worrying look on Lee's face.

“The name Ethiopia contains the names of the children. We call it the Statement Right.Even if you move an agency, you have no problem using that name. because it gives six Ethiopians the right to write that name. Using this name in MG entertainment does not make any claims. ”

“When you first signed with Ethiopia, did you transfer your full name to the MG or not? ”

“Of course. It's not transferable at all. After all, the name Ethiopia can only be written by those kids. But since all six of us can claim that name, if Ethiopia is torn so that one of us can't use the name Ethiopia, there's a problem. But since everyone has stated their intentions, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Lee Hyun-ji nodded at Kang Yun's words. Legal issues were always hard to hear.

Now, the most important issue is trademark rights. Kang Yoon also said that there is no problem.

“It doesn't matter if you register trademarks in MG entertainment under the name Ethios. This right is non-transferable in nature. Normally, delegation takes a certain amount of time. It will be the same as the contract period. ”

“I hope you don't mind using the group name. So what's the last one, the right to publicity? ”

There was one last problem. Publicity rights were an important right to control the commercial use of the name or nomenclature associated with Ethios. Failure to do so could put you at risk of being controlled.

Kang Yoon said decisively.

“This right is recognised only for natural persons. An affiliation is a corporation, and it is not permissible for a promoter to take unauthorized economic advantage. As an exception, we've heard that several members may jointly own the rights to the name of the group. ”

“So you're saying there's no problem. When did you meet with your lawyer? That's sharp.”

Lee Hyun-si was truly impressed. Even legal matters, Kang Yun was preparing neatly. Even though MG entertainment was troubling, there was no disadvantage.

But I was worried about something.

“What if the M.G. finds out we're going to lose anyway, and they take him to court? We're too small for that. It's not going to cost you much. ”

“They won't be that stupid either. Given what we've been doing so far, it's clear that MG has no intention of re-contracting with Ethios. If I'm going to do this, I'm going to have to come up with something by the time I get there. ”

“Yes, but I'm worried that they're going to try and kill us. ”

“I didn't have a doctor, and I'm not going to press charges. because if you're wrong, you might get the headwind that you're in the way of a failed celebrity re-contract. It's an anxious MG these days, and there's no reason to have a mob like that. ”

“Okay, so what do I do? ”

Lee Hyun is very motivated.

Accepting Ethiopia. I already knew it wouldn't be easy. But if it had already been decided, I would have done my best.

Kang Yoon gave her the documents. Lee Hyun-ji glanced at it for a moment and her eyes curled.

“Now, wait a minute. Open Lunas' office…. To the practice room?!"

The documents that Kang Yun gave were a budget bill to refurbish Lunas' office and make it into a dance practice room.
