Life, Once Again!

“Chief Choi. Keep an eye on the new kids. I'm going to JA. ”

“Yes.”

Narim got up on the couch. It was an ergonomically constructed sofa, but after sitting all day, my body felt unequal to a regular chair. I wonder if he's getting old. When I was young, I used to sleep in my room and move cheerfully the next day.

Reminds me of the old days. Narim smiled small, looking at the various schedule tables and contracts on his desk. I once dreamed of being a singer. I thought my dream would come true only when I heard that I would try singing with my business card out of the street. But it was a common contract scam, and I lost quite a lot of money to songwriter fees and recording nominations. In the house, there was a commotion. Do not do anything unnecessary. As my father said, I met a good husband and married him, Narim left the house. I came up to Seoul to find a job while homeless as a woman's body.

At the end of the Feast of Weeks, I got a job at a station restaurant. At first, I heard from the working women that it wasn't their job to do it, but I made some money. I entered the dormitory in Daldong with my first salary. After the resting place, I started studying to become a singer again. I practiced my voice and learned musical instruments while going to a practical music school. I firmly believed that it was difficult to alternate between day and dawn, but it was a necessary process for fulfilling my dream.

It's been a year. I became a mother and daughter with the cafeteria ladies. The women cheered me on being a singer and gave me food that was good for my neck. That heart supported Narim.

However, I slipped every time I had a chance to audition for an agency during the year. I won an award for small flexibility in various places, but it was too modest to call it a history.

You have to show your skills in a prosperous position. For that sort of thing, the stage of the dream was a riverside flexibility, a university flexibility. But she didn't deserve to challenge it. In order to participate in those competitions, which could be called Singer Equals, the university was a strange place for Narim to jump into society shortly after graduating from 3rd grade.

Half a year later, Narim was unable to even audition for a new agency. It was so hard to have an LP board with your name on it. However, I prepared for the next audition, believing that I would not betray my efforts. And in that audition, Narim learned the truth.

- Mr. Narim, the song is pretty good. It smells professional. But you know, you watch TV these days. Look at me. How pretty. How innocent, sweet. The sound of the song is clean. Did you see the 88th Olympic Korea recently? If Narim has such a compelling voice, he won't see his face…… but that's not it. How about a duet instead of a solo? A duet? Maybe we should cover our faces.

Narim realized at that moment that the fundamental idea that singers should be good at singing was wrong. It was easy to see On the way out, Narim shakes his head. It wasn't unfair. Even if you were the boss, you'd prefer two to one. To make a debut with just your voice, you have to be able to resonate with people's hearts, but Narim was not that desperate to think for himself.

Narim's dream has changed since the '90s. I'm not going to be a singer. I'm going to be a singer. It was not a self-comforting dream to make those who are good at singing singers. Rather, I grasped the strand towards actively embracing social flow.

If we want such a versatile talent, let's create an entertainer, a singer who can really do anything. Narim did not consider what he had heard to be an insult. The moment I realized that Korean cultural business is not a successful specialist in each field, but a generalist who can achieve efficiency from the front.

When you set a goal, it is Narim who moves to achieve it. I looked at international cases first. Culture and, among other things, the two wagons in the music business were also the United States and Japan. Looking at the two places ahead of Korea, we could see that the boundaries of craftsmen were crumbling. Activists in the United States and singers in Japan stand out in all areas, including movies, dramas and commercials. Narim felt that a similar phenomenon would occur in Korea, thinking that culture was a huge flow that would be inevitable to follow the direction as Hanax progressed anyway.

By then Narim had seen innovation on TV. Seo Taejee and the children, a dominant figure who brought down music consumers in their 20s and 30s to their teens. Narim saw how powerful it is to lead trends. It was an unfamiliar song, but their performance, the lyrics of the song moved the young people. The impact was unimaginable. Before Seotaejin, there were many broadcasters who underestimated the consumption power of the teenagers, but they had different ideas after Seotaejeon.

Teenagers spent enormous amounts of money through their parents' tools. After a tremendous heat in the younger generation, the upper generation began to approach the western region, and as a result, Seotaeji became an icon of popular culture.

Throughout the process, Narim realized that stealing the minds of teenagers and 20s was a way to lead popular culture.

If so, what should we expect?

Narim thought he should be about the same age as the consumer class. It is natural for a teenager to become better at singing and acting, but as they get older, they cannot project themselves.

An icon is the union of the imagination that it wants to be. Looking at a nice, beautiful age and stimulating the desire to be like that.

It's about making an idol.

Narim has been searching for people with his money and ideas for years. I needed an investor. I knew too well that the first to move would triumph, as I'm sure everyone would be thinking like this.

With the help of the woman who worked in the restaurant, Narim was able to meet with the music broadcast PD at the time, and he was able to make an appointment with someone in the manager's business. He was the Chief Executive Officer.

Narim and Chief Choi have found singer-aspiring students who often say 'masks are good’, who become faces from that day on. I was a little short on singing skills, so I gathered them together and went straight to practice. I gathered in the room and boiled ramen and tried together to see the stars on TV. I didn't even want to be able to digest LIVE completely. Recording and lip-syncing will solve the stage. Instead, I cared about the outside of the song. A child who speaks good English, a child who speaks good Japanese, a child who specializes in cooking, and a child who has a funny ability. Characters that can be consumed, other than singers.

And I ended up on TV with the help of a music broadcast PD. The first reaction was cold. As young children come out and do their duty, singing strange songs, not ballads, not rocks. However, at the same time, other organizations also exported group singers with similar concepts.

Two different 5-woman groups.

Narim thought this was the wind after he saw a strange conflicting structure emerging among a few fans. A whirlwind of opportunity. Narim suggested we find an affiliation of an opposing group singer and escalate the competition to the surface. The user makes it easy to tell if the opposing Pokémon had similar thoughts. The company was now a Yellow Star, three of its top companies.

After that, the plate started to grow on its own. Fans showed off their movement beyond common sense for their favorite singer. After designating the color of the singer's symbol, the fans started to form one by one, and it became a kind of ritual for fans to naturally do. Yellow Star's group singer is yellow, NL Company's group singer is blue.

I started using the word 'idol’ in the late '90s after the fan culture that was getting bigger and bigger in my teens started using the word' idol 'frequently on the broadcast.

It was the birth of more aggressive and moveable idol fans after singers who led their brothers' forces in the '80s.

Narim immediately prepared a successor. The first idol did not invest much, but the second one was different. After a formal audition, I chose songs, dances, and armed friends. This time, we also added education. In order to become an idol, Idol, the part that was lacking should not be highlighted.

Over time, by the 2000s, three major promoters had been announced and fans had been pushing the idols out of their respective agencies. The singer is now branded as an affiliate, not a brand.

And the final step. Narim has spent the last decade preparing for TTO, a group of five men. Not only singer-aspiring, but also learner aspiring children were chosen and made into a group. And I taught him harshly. The actor focused the song on the kid who was the dream, and continued the performance training on the kid who was the singer's dream.

Universal entertainer.

At the same time, talent changed in a funny way and jumped from a one-man torque show, and TTO became a guarantee check for talent with a refined body and a great sense of humor.

Finally, Narim went beyond his talents and put Idol into the drama. The choreographer said he couldn't put up with his drama, but he couldn't stop Idol from appearing.

Drama is not free. The broadcasters were well aware. How scary an idol fan is. If they had unconditional loyalty, they would watch the room unconditionally, and they did not miss the logic of the money that when viewership increases, the unit price increases.

Narim consistently met the drama writer and directed them to calm their anger, while placing a clear spell on the boy who was sent in.

If we put on some stupid act here, it's all over.

Fortunately, the child who was the actor's dream was admitted to the drama. A compliment quickly came to my ears that I was better than a dizzy new actor. Of course it was. He was ready and trained. He was a child who naturally laughed in front of hundreds of thousands of audiences while standing on various stages, and it was a natural result because he knew what angles to be caught by the camera in order to be attracted to him.

Narim felt that he had taken a big step closer to his dream when the PD disparaged him for another call.

From then on, it was an idol world. Although screen actors were still in an untouchable area, Narim was confident that the sanctuary would soon collapse as well.

On weekdays, the JA building was quietly shining alone. At the cafe in the lounge, the rest of the company seemed to be chatting over coffee.

30 minutes between appointments.

‘Let's finish dinner and go in. ’

The floor was thinking about going out for soup, but I decided to eat it briefly at the cafe because there was a chance to buy it. It was when I ordered one with Americano and waited to be seated. A woman with round glasses enters the building. Wearing a semi-formal, she appeared to be in her mid-30s.

“Two glasses of milk tea, please. I'll take it.”

It was time for the woman to turn around after finishing the spell. Two temples walking by while talking to the neighbor bumped into the woman in glasses. I guess I didn't look ahead to talking.

The paper cup in the temple's hand was dented and the coffee sputtered everywhere. Either the hot coffee or the wet clothes did not make painful faces.

“Hey, you've got to look ahead. ”

If there are many sides, it must be the truth that the voice naturally increases. The floor stared at the temples whining at the woman in glasses despite their mistakes. There are people who do what they do and pretend to be victims.

“I'm sorry, I was looking straight ahead. I think you're the one who got hit in the back. ”

“What are you looking at? It's not like we got hit by a sudden stop and turn. ”

“Oh, is this my fault? ”

The woman in the glasses put her hands on her chest and said.

“Isn't that obvious? What are you gonna do with this? ”

The woman said with her white shirt out front. The woman in the glasses sighed during the day. The café staff tried to intervene, but the temples were fine, so they just told them to leave.

At the counter, the floor announced that the coffee and bread had been ordered.

“Excuse me, I need a seat. ”

The floor said to the three women who were blocking the counter. The woman in round glasses said she was sorry, but the temples weren't.

“Hey, move aside. Can't you see this is happening? ”

The floor shed a ridiculous smile. His personality was very bad.

“Hey, ladies. I saw you two there earlier, walking blind and bumping into each other. I understand struggling to collect the laundry money, but don't let anyone who doesn't care. ”

“What, what lady? ”

“Ma'am. Ma'am." ”

“This!”

It was time for the temples to take a step forward with their eyes wide open.

“What's going on over there? ”

You hear voices behind you. It was a notebook in a bread hat. It had a trademark on it and was a junior. Temples unrelated to JA production often fled on foot, keeping their mouths shut if the building's owner recognized them.

The floor shrugs, smiling at Jun-min.

2004.

It was composed by rubbing the floor with reality and fiction. And now we have to shove it up the world with scary money.

The grudge I asked you yesterday,

The protagonist was talking about a new novel that I liked to start with.

Shhh!

As I read the comments,

There were two and three clashes.

Number one, there were a lot of people who said it wasn't the beginning.

It doesn't have to be an epic novel to enjoy.

So let's start by grabbing somewhere between mediocrity and missing support.
