Raising a Neglected Singer-Songwriter Episode 126

126. Special Guest

Sungjun’s comeback stage was pre-recorded early in the morning like other singers.

Sungjun prepared a special gift for the fans who came to cheer him on from the crack of dawn.

This is a lunch box with a hearty composition of bossam, jeon, rice, and soup, as well as a photo card with the owner’s autograph and a hot pack.

“Oppa Sungjun… I’m really touched by the lunch box from the reverse team, sob!”

‘My Star’ shed tears of emotion, and from dawn, SNS and communities were flooded with posts certifying Sungjun’s reverse attack.

Afterwards, Sungjun went up on stage with guidance from the staff.

“It’s my brother!!”

The My Stars, holding star badges and filling the standing area, cheered at his appearance.

In the meantime, a few familiar faces catch my eye.

One of the My Star management team. A fan who always spits out coffee.

When I waved happily, she hurriedly raised her hand and covered her nose.

Today again, bloodshed occurred.

“The recording will go in the order of ‘Ring a Ring’ and then ‘Music is’.”

“yes.”

Seongjun nods his head at the staff’s words.

After hearing an explanation of camera movement, etc., the actual recording began.

As dancers appeared behind Sungjun, who was holding a guitar, My Star’s eyes widened.

“Isn’t this your first time having dancers on stage, oppa?”

‘Ring a Ring’ is the first time the group has performed on stage with dancers.

Compared to the previous album where the band sound was strong, the songs are more lively and have more K-pop-like parts.

While discussing how to maximize the mood of the song, we naturally decided to bring in dancers.

And one more thing.

“Huh? There are two people among the dancers over there…?”

Mystar’s finger points to ‘two people’ standing among the dancers.

A special guest invited by Sungjun.

“Aren’t these your favorite girls?! It’s Jin Ha-neul and Lee Ha-ru!”

As the audience stirred, the corners of Sungjun’s mouth went up.

As expected, you know what I mean.

I had a lot of fun with the love triangle in this music video.

Sungjun and MXM Entertainment discussed whether it would be more fun to bring this to the stage, and planned to invite two beautiful female guests to perform short acts.

To make the most impact, it would have been best to cast Yuna and Ye Seon Ha, the original stars of the music video, but unfortunately that was impossible.

Both of them must be very busy.

So while looking for a replacement,

“What about the [Breeze] members?”

It was Sungjun who came up with the idea of ​​bringing the members of [Breeze], who were recently formed through ‘My Favorite Girls’, on stage instead.

MXM Entertainment had no reason to hesitate.

As Sungjun enjoys immense popularity, it is best to go on stage with him to make your face known.

What better promotion could there be before a debut than this?

So, the two most recognizable members of [Breeze], Jin Ha-neul and Lee Ha-ru, participated in today’s recording.

Seongjun glanced back and looked at the two guest girls.

Perhaps because it was their first music show stage, their nervous expressions were evident.

“Both of you, don’t be too nervous. Just do what you practiced. And think about it, the stage was much bigger during your ‘minimum’ performance. Even the last stage was live. Today is a pre-recording, so if you make a mistake, you can just keep recording.”

“Yes, yes!”

Jin Ha-neul and Lee Ha-ru’s expressions brightened significantly at Seong-jun’s leisurely words.

As I watch the two of them cheering each other on, I suddenly become curious about their main characteristics.

‘Jin Ha-neul is visual… Lee Ha-ru is dancing, right?’

It will be fun to compare what you expected when recruiting them to the guild in the future.

For that, we need to level up the guild quickly.

After snapping out of my short thoughts and refocusing, the recording began a moment later.

“My heart looks at you, Ring a Ring.”

Seongjun playing the guitar and singing.

Jin Ha-neul appears behind him, takes out her cell phone to the beat of the song, and acts as if she is holding it to her heart.

Lee Haru, who appeared next, seemed to ignore the sound of the cell phone ringing at first, but then quietly put it in her ear.

The two people’s sharp acting added cuteness and energy to the stage.

one side,

“But, oppa, don’t you think your condition is really good today?”

“I felt it too. What should I say… It’s hard to explain… but the sound is better?”

The masters watching the stage shared their admiration.

Seongjun is usually crazy when he performs live, but today’s stage had an atmosphere that was even better than usual.

This was the effect of the [Full Body Massage] buff that temporarily increased all abilities.

“Thank you for your hard work!”

After the recording of the first stage was over, Sungjun bowed to the dancers who had joined him.

Seongjun then gives encouragement to Jin Ha-neul and Lee Ha-ru.

“You worked hard for the sky. You must have been nervous today, but you did well.”

“Thank you for giving me this precious opportunity!”

Jin Ha-neul and Lee Ha-ru responded with a bow that was more than 90 degrees.

“You should also monitor the broadcasts of your seniors who will be on the same stage as you next time.”

Today we have [Breeze] as our guest, but we plan to have new guests on each of our other music shows.

‘Subtle Girl’ leader Ain and main dancer Yuri.

‘Sistarz’ Hyo-ryun and one other member.

This was also a plan that reflected Sungjun’s opinion of wanting to provide more variety to the fans who would be disappointed by only going on music shows for a week.

When we presented the guest suggestions to both groups, they responded readily.

“Of course I should! Now is the chance to ‘repay the favor’.”

In the case of ‘Subtle Girl’, it was about taking first place with ‘Sneaky’.

In Hyoryeon’s case, it is a thank you for connecting her with the lyricist ‘SHYine’.

I was worried that it might be burdensome to record at dawn, but Sungjun’s shoulders were lifted high thanks to his willing acceptance.

After that, I finished recording the second ‘Music is’ and returned to the waiting room.

It was while I was having lunch and taking a short break with Manager Oh Hae-soo and Cody Wi Woo-ri.

dripping-

Someone knocked on the waiting room door.

As Oh Hae-soo opened the door, a group of young boys came rushing in.

The boys lined up introduced themselves in loud voices.

“Hello, senior! Would you be my galaxy? We are Galaxy Boys!”

The boys’ identities are that of a rookie male idol group that debuted last month.

The leader was Earth. The other members were Moon, Mars, Jupiter, etc.

“Senior Seongjun! I’m such a huge fan!”

“When I was a trainee, I listened to and practiced my senior’s songs a lot!”

Then, Leader Earth held out their debut album with both hands.

When I see the crooked writing that says, ‘To. Senior Seongjun,’ a strange feeling comes over me.

‘Just a few months ago, I was a late bloomer, but now I’m a senior…’

The music industry is really fast-paced.

Also, I am proud of the position I have grown to in such a short period of time.

“Thank you. I will listen carefully.”

“Thank you! I will work hard!”

The boys left the waiting room, leaving behind a loud voice.

And a little later the actual broadcast started.

*

At the same time,

Anonymous Mystar, Seol Moyang, was watching the music show broadcast on TV at home.

There was a reason why I was watching the music show live at the age of 30.

Because her close friend is appearing on stage today.

– This week’s #1 is! Congratulations! Sungjun ‘Music is’!

And that friend, Sungjun, took first place today.

It wasn’t particularly surprising.

Rather, it was natural.

This song topped the Kiwi charts as soon as it was released.

Moreover, in her opinion, Sungjun’s live performance today was the best ever.

It seemed like he had more breath and sound than usual, and he was overall very relaxed.

How should I put it, it feels like a major upgrade?

Anyway, the fans who went to the recording site after going through the needle-like competition were probably happy to death.

The live performance was amazing, and they even won first place.

Moreover, according to the fan cafe post that was uploaded at dawn, Sungjun even prepared a surprise lunch box.

The emotion must have been multiplied several times.

– Thank you! I love you all, ‘My Star’!

He even shared his thoughts on receiving the award for his fans through Hwalongjeomjeong.

Seol Moyang and Hye-yoon turned off the TV after watching Sung-jun’s encore live to celebrate his first place.

She sat on the sofa, this time turning her phone horizontally and playing a YouTube video.

Behind the scenes of the ‘Ring a Ring’ music video that was uploaded yesterday.

The video showed the three main characters of the music video, Sungjun, Yuna, and Yeseonha, joking around.

“···I’m dying of joy. My mouth is hanging from my ear.”

Seol Hye-yoon’s eyes narrow.

Although Sungjun was stuck between two beauties and didn’t know what to do, to Seol Hye-yoon’s eyes, he just looked like he liked it.

‘I’ve felt this way for a long time, but···.’

This guy has too many women around him.

Just look at today’s stage. Both special guests are women.

Plus she’s young and pretty!

Even the look one of the dogs gave Sungjun on stage was not that of an ordinary guest.

Love. It was definitely love.

How do you know?

Well, myself-

“Ahem.”

Seol Hye-yoon coughs in vain, perhaps because her throat is itchy.

one side,

Seol Hye-yoon’s eyes turn to the video again.

This time, what caught her gaze was not Sungjun, but the beautiful woman smiling brightly next to him.

“Yuna···.”

It was her younger sister.

“You look happy.”

At the sight of Yuna laughing out loud while tapping Sungjun on the shoulder, a feeling of uneasiness spread across Seol Hye-yoon’s face.

Two words came to her mind.

‘no way···.’

Even though Yuna and herself both had connections with Sungjun, they had never talked about it.

Seol Hye-yoon thought that Yuna and Sung-jun were just in a business relationship.

From a young age, her sister, unlike her, was the type to express her feelings honestly.

When I found someone I liked, I was so excited that I shared it with myself.

So since there was no response, I didn’t pay much attention to it.

one,

‘If you think about it, that was a long time ago.’

After becoming an adult and becoming successful as a singer, I had less time with my younger sister Yuna.

It is true that the number of times sisters open up about their innermost feelings has gradually decreased.

This time, I don’t know what my brother is thinking.

‘What if… Yuna also had feelings for Sungjun… what would happen?’

Seol Hye-yoon’s head turned towards the table.

There was a framed photo of the sisters embracing each other affectionately.

Someday… I guess we should talk about it before it’s too late.

“Whew. That’s difficult.”

Seol Hye-yoon sighed, got up from her seat, and headed to her room.

She sat down at her desk and opened her laptop.

On the screen, there was a picture of a blue sea with a white sandy beach, along with a notepad with a few lines of text written on it.

These are lyrics I was working on before watching the music show.

A few days ago, Sungjun connected me with Hyoryeon, the person who requested the lyrics, and I received the song’s concept from her along with a demo song.

A cool summer song about going for a drive to see the ocean together.

The concept was one where the girl takes the initiative and was perfect for the image of the girl group Sistars, which Hyorin is a part of.

“Sea Drive···.”

As I looked at the beach on my laptop screen and repeated the concept keywords, my imagination soon began to unfold.

Imagine driving down the cool, stretched-out beach road with Sung-jun in the seat next to you in your beloved Mini Cooper Chili Red Clubman.

Two people wearing sunglasses under the bright sunlight, cutting through the wind blowing towards them.

For some reason, Sungjun is holding on to the car handle with all his might, but he finds it so cute that he bursts out laughing.

“Huh huh.”

A delighted smile appeared on Seol Hye-yoon’s lips without her knowing it.

Of course, when I think of Sungjun, more diverse emotions and scenes come to mind.

Even when I was writing the lyrics for ‘Cherry Blossom Road’, the imaginary partner I had in mind was Seongjun.

So, if I were to write down what I want to do with him this time too…

Knock knock-

Seol Hye-yoon’s hands on the keyboard began to move slowly.
