EP21 – mm Entertainment’s 4th artist. (4)
106.
Early morning with the sound of insects.
I turned off all the lights except the mood light and looked at the note in the dark room. It’s hard to see because the mood lighting is weak, but there’s something emotional about it.
While thinking about that, I sigh.
“Of course I can’t use this.”
Saying that, he erases the drawing by drawing a line with a pen. Then he taps his notebook with a pen and frowns.
How should I do the actual sound and directing on the concert stage?
I am used to putting on my best and sincere performances on stage. As if this was the last stage, I put all my effort into directing and practicing the stage every time.
But I can’t do that this time. Because it was teacher Ha Hyo-joo herself who asked for it, not anyone else. So I have to do it gently, but I don’t know how.
Is it a song or something? They say it’s okay because Sooyeon has already had her own nerf. Then wouldn’t it be okay for her to keep talking like this? She thinks about it and then shakes her head.
Ultimately, the impact of the stage is different. Really. I never thought it would be this difficult to flutter. While thinking about what to do, I draw a picture while recalling the performance of the students I saw at the freshman concert.
First of all, wouldn’t it be better not to use props?
And the lighting color…
I guess I can’t give up on this. Still, I have to do the minimum amount of directing. If you keep lighting in primary colors, it gets a bit boring.
Let’s stop with the directing here and just focus on the costumes. Really. It’s been a while since I didn’t pay this much attention to directing.
Even when I attended Seolwon Arts High School in my previous life, the stage direction was not this sloppy. But it is unavoidable.
After all, those third-year seniors are on a stage where their lives depend on it. It’s a bit too much for a first year student to take away all the focus in a place like that.
“What are you doing, not sleeping?”
While I was thinking about the stage, Suyeon opened the door, came into the room, and said to me. I speak to Suyeon while drinking water that has already become lukewarm.
“And you?”
“I was talking to a friend for a moment.”
“Is your friend still not sleeping?”
“I’m a trainee, so I’m done now.”
It’s 3 in the morning right now? Do idol trainees practice for such hours? I never worked as a trainee, so I didn’t know anything like that.
“So why aren’t you sleeping?”
“I have something to think about for a moment. Rather than that, you should go to sleep quickly. “If you sleep late, you won’t grow taller.”
“I hope so. If this continues, I will become bigger than my brother.”
Suyeon sits down on the bed and complains. Well, Suyeon is definitely tall for a girl. Was she 168 now?
If I remember correctly, it later increases to 171.
“Recording is tomorrow, right?”
“huh.”
“But will it be okay if it rains like this?”
Sooyeon, who said that, looks at the rain falling outside the window. Heavy rain beats on the window. I knew it, but it’s raining so bad this summer.
“Well, there’s a concert hall, so it’ll be okay.”
“Then that’s a relief.”
“So what brought you to my room?”
“I feel like my brother isn’t sleeping. “The recording is tomorrow.”
“yes.”
“That’s why I came, well. And sometimes I can’t sleep.”
“Why can’t I sleep?”
Where does it hurt? Or insomnia? I look at Suyeon with worried eyes, and Suyeon shakes her head.
“That’s not it, I’m looking forward to recording.”
And then smiles.
And a very confident smile.
I frown at that sight. Are you looking forward to recording? why? You find it difficult and hate singing with such force?
“You’ll be surprised too.”
I’m feeling uneasy about something.
§ § §
They say that uneasy premonitions are not wrong.
I looked at Suyeon singing in the booth with a shocked expression. No, this. now. What on earth is going on?
My head is confused. Close your eyes. And then it pops up again. In that situation, I think carefully about where it all went wrong.
Did I speak poorly? Or do I have a teacher’s talent that I didn’t know about? Can you see that you can recognize other people’s shortcomings and improve on them?
No way.
If I had done that, I would have raised other children too.
Stop denying reality and listen to Suyeon’s song. She said Suyeon’s singing has become so good that it’s ridiculous.
It’s different from the last time I recorded it to let Suyeon know what I wanted. The pronunciation becomes clearer and the voice sounds very natural.
Meanwhile, the delivery of deductions and immersion became more clear. What on earth happened in a week at most?
I knew that Sooyeon was very talented, but I didn’t know it was to that level. Of course, that doesn’t mean that Suyeon has surpassed silence or that she sings overwhelmingly better than at the freshman concert.
Just looking at her singing ability, she is worse than her freshman concert. Because the overall strength has been lost a lot, the song still has no power.
As a result, there are many shortcomings in vocalization and delivery of lyrics. However, immersion and delivery have improved significantly. Drink water.
What if you sing while paying attention to the song in that state? Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. It’s really like this…
“ah.”
While thinking about that, I inadvertently let out a sigh. Wait a minute, if this happens, what will happen at Silum and the concert? I thought she was naturally nerfed, but this is causing a headache.
However, you can’t tell them to perform roughly on stage at a concert. It is an important stage in its own way where Suyeon’s value must be raised.
And above all, even if I made that request, Suyeon wouldn’t listen.
-What do you think, brother? surprised?
Inside the booth, Suyeon smiles brightly. It’s so bright that it’s embarrassing. Looking at that bright look, I try my best to smile brightly.

“huh. surprised.”
I was so surprised that I was now in a cold sweat. Phew, whatever. There’s nothing I can do about it happening like this. I have no choice but to keep the song as is and skip the stage.
Lighting direction? Other props? does not exist.
costume? They told me to just put on my school uniform and go up.
Teacher Hyo-joo would be in trouble if he even managed to direct the stage in that state.
-lol.
Suyeon smiled, whether she knew how I felt or not. And after that, the recording went very smoothly. It’s the smoothest recording I’ve ever done.
There are more requests for retakes than Goyo, but of all the recordings I’ve done with Suyeon so far, I’ve done the least. At most, a few requests were made due to pronunciation.
As I was immersed in the song and empathized with the emotion, there was no room for me to touch it. The first time I recorded it was about a year and a half ago.
A year and a half at most. In the meantime, it’s growing ridiculously. I look at Suyeon. Suyeon is still smiling. But there’s something scary about that smile.
The fear you only feel when you watch an incredible talent grow from the sidelines. A talent that is overwhelming and even violent.
As expected, it’s difficult to do this.
I looked at Suyeon with sharp eyes and clenched my fists. After finishing the recording and saying goodbye to Soo-yeon, who said she was going to meet a friend, I stand up.
But Won Seong-min came to see me.
“Is it okay to do that kind of recording here?”
And then he said that with a smiling face. The place where Suyeon and I recorded was Howl Studio. Of course, if you want, you can record at the company, but I didn’t want to show Sooyeon to the company yet, so I did it here.
“are you okay.”
Moreover, Sooyeon is unfinished right now. A state of giving up a lot for growth. Therefore, there is no sense of any compromises made during the recording.
Well, if I officially release the music later, I can record it again.
“But it worked out well.”
“yes?”
“I had something to say.”
What have you got to say? Are you talking about a concert? No, that wouldn’t be it. The concert is still a long time away. So another project?
While I was thinking about what Won Seong-min would say, his answer was completely different from what I expected.
“Hajun, are you interested in advertising?”
“If it’s an advertisement, is it advertising music?”
Music made to promote a new cell phone. Well, are you talking about something like that? Won Seong-min makes an ambiguous expression in response to my question.
“Should I call it advertising music? It’s a bit different from regular advertising music, though. “The advertisement itself is like a music video.”
“Hmm, what kind of advertisement is this?”
“Do you know the brand called Dejavu?”
“I know.”
Deja vu. A foreign street fashion brand, not Korean. Awareness is currently low in Korea, but in about a year, awareness will increase explosively.
Luxury goods and street fashion are starting to become popular in Korea. And since then, it has been one of the brands that has consistently received a lot of love.
Well, it is a brand that is already recognized not only in Korea but around the world.
“It’s an advertisement for a brand called Deja Vu. We did it about two years ago, but this time they contacted us after seeing our music video. “I want them to make a song that feels like ‘crack.’”
“So is it me?”
Seongmin Won nods his head. I frown at that sight. It wouldn’t be strange to say that Blue Aka is working with Deja Vu.
Déjà Vu is a street brand. And at the same time, they make a lot of very unconventional attempts, and I appreciate that. So, it wouldn’t be strange for Blue Aka and Deja Vu to work together.
But I never thought you would make me an offer like this.
“Well, it’s still just a story. First of all, just think about it. “From composition to actual work, it will take at least a few months and up to half a year.”
“Ah yes.”
Well, there’s still a long time left. Still, if I get to compose advertising music, that’s great. Plus, I’m working with Blue Aka and Dejabu.
Maybe I can let the world hear my song.
I nodded.

Before we knew it, the day had come for Sileum and the concert to begin. Fortunately, the day of Sileum and the concert was very bright. Looking at the clear sky, Hajun Yoon exhales.
“How can I look forward to today?”
And Seo Chae-rim, who had promised to meet Ha-jun Yoon, approaches him and asks with a smile. Hajun Yoon nodded at that.
“Well, I guess we can look forward to it.”
“I’m glad. “I brought in the CEO, but if it falls below expectations, it’s difficult.”
“That won’t happen.”
Hajun Yoon speaks firmly. Yeah, that won’t happen. If it was too much, it would have been too much. That day, after recording, Ha-Jun Yoon did not listen to Su-Yeon Yoon’s singing.
Instead, I entrusted everything to Lee Ji-yoon. Currently, Soo-yeon Yoon’s skills are not at a level that Ha-jun Yoon can say anything about. No, rather, Hajun Yoon’s advice may be poisonous.
Therefore, Ha-jun Yoon entrusted Soo-yeon Yoon to Ji-yoon Lee and did his own thing on her behalf. In order not to be eaten by Soo-yeon, and in order not to hold her back.
And that choice was an excellent one.
How shocked I was when I saw the rehearsal stage.
“More than that, is your performance okay?”
“Well, I’m not bad. And my performance isn’t that important anyway. “My sister is more important.”
“sister? Ah, the person who drew that picture.”
“huh.”
“That person also saw something today. university?”
“No, you are in the same grade as me.”
Blink your eyes.
You are my older sister and are in the same grade as Seo Chae-rim?
“Twins?”
“No, my sister is taking the exam again.”
I’m a repeat high school student. I’ve heard it’s quite a thing in the art world, but this is my first time seeing it in person. But I guess I have to retake the exam to draw something like that.
“First of all, I’ll take a look at my sister and then go back. “It’s not a big stage, but we have to prepare.”
“I look forward to your performance as well.”
“Don’t get your hopes up. that.”
Seo Chae-rim, who said that, walks away. After that, Hajun Yoon headed to the concert venue. Then this time, Ha Hyo-joo approached Yoon Ha-jun.
“A long time.”
“Ah yes. teacher.”
“Did you do well in rehearsal?”
“yes.”
“What I asked for is…”
Ha Hyo-joo asks a question with a somewhat serious expression. Then Hajun Yoon’s expression becomes ambiguous. How should I say this? Hajun Yoon thought for a moment and spoke honestly.
“Well, first of all, I didn’t do any stage directing. yes.”
“Oh yeah?”
Ha Hyo-joo, perhaps feeling fortunate for that alone, lets out a sigh of relief.
“I’m sorry for asking too much.”
“It’s too much to ask. “It’s natural because it’s the graduation stage for third-year students.”
Hajun Yoon’s voice is trembling. The pupils are shaking. However, on the graduation stage, I got into trouble again. But this time, Hajun Yoon also felt unfair.
There was no stage direction, the costumes were prepared as school uniforms, and the singer himself was nerfed, so what should we do when Ji took advantage of the nerf and became stronger!
“I’m looking forward to my little brother’s performance.”
Hajun Yoon smiled instead of answering.
My stomach is throbbing.
Instead, Ha-Jun Yoon apologized to Hyo-Joo Ha in his heart. I’m sorry, teacher. There are probably not many stages that stand out more than Suyeon’s.
Called.
