Raising a Neglected Singer-Songwriter Episode 77

77. Teaser

The long-awaited 10th episode of ‘Who’s the King’ has begun.

Following the introduction of the top 5 survivors, the five performers appeared on stage one after another.

A stage that maximizes each person’s strengths.

Number 7, Zik showed off his gorgeous K-pop idol song.

Mark 15 is a city pop song full of emotion.

No. 18 Jinwoo Oh is a song that is both local and full of personality.

Number 30, Kim Simon, is a calm song with a strong indie feel.

Number 31, Yoru, presented a Jayrock style band song.

“I heard you well. Thank you for your hard work.”

Even the judges who used to give sharp feedback replaced it with words of encouragement, thanking them for their hard work during the long journey.

Meanwhile, to celebrate the final live broadcast, a special guest was invited to the audience.

“To celebrate the birth of a new king today! We have invited two special guests!”

The representative singers of MXM Entertainment, who co-produced ‘Who’s the King’, were ‘Yuna’ and members of ‘Monsta Z’.

“Wow, Yuna!!! You’re so pretty in person!!!!”

“I love you, Monsta Z brothers!!!!”

Every time the camera pans over the two teams, cheers erupt from the audience.

Every time Yuna smiles, the decibel level of the cheers doubles.

At the right time, MC Park Hye-shin opened her mouth.

“We’ve now seen the stages of all five candidates, and now all that remains is the final vote.”

Next, let’s explain the voting method to the audience and TV viewers.

The five candidates make their final appeals, each indicating their number with their finger.

“Now, while the final voting is in progress! Next, we have some familiar faces coming to ‘Who’s the King’. The three contestants who were on ‘Who’s the King’ have prepared a special stage for their five colleagues and fans. Let’s take a look right now to see what kind of stage it will be!”

As Park Hye-shin declares, the lights dim.

Then, one by one, stars began to appear on the black LED screen.

“Hey, this is a [star] production…? That means-!”

Then, as the familiar accompaniment began to flow, the stars of the special stage appeared on stage.

“As expected!!!!!! It’s Sungjun!!!!!!!”

“There’s also number 3 and number 22!!!!”

They were number 49 Sungjun, and the male and female contestants who were eliminated right before the semi-finals.

And as you can see from the accompaniment, the stage that the three people prepared was ‘Star’ sung by Sungjun.

It was the song with the highest number of views throughout ‘Who’s the King’.

“We wander in search of stars.”

As the song began, numbers 3 and 22 took turns singing the verses.

And then Sungjun opened his mouth to sing the chorus.

“From today onwards, I am your star.”

The first verse ended with the harmony of the three people.

And as the interlude flowed, people were filled with anticipation.

‘Are you going to recreate the ‘glasses performance’ this time too!’

That would be the case,

The outfits of the three people who decorated the special stage were different for each person: Sungjun wore a suit, number 3 wore a delivery uniform, and number 22 wore a cafe worker uniform, but they were all wearing the same pair of glasses.

Because anyone could see that it was an outfit designed for performance.

As expected, when the second verse began, all three people’s hands reached for their glasses.

However, this time, they didn’t throw away their glasses, but instead put them gently in their pockets.

“What a twist. Puhahaha!”

“Hey, I was expecting a home run today too!!”

People who had been waiting for the glasses to be put on burst into laughter.

one side,

“Wow, but even when I look at it again, Sungjun is crazy. He sings much better than before.”

“At that time, I felt like a bit of an amateur, but now I’m just a full-fledged singer.”

“Somehow, doesn’t it seem like the posture while standing on stage is different?”

People watching the stage express their feelings about Sungjun.

Clearly, I can feel the force of an A-list celebrity from a rookie who debuted only a month ago.

The stage presence that overwhelms the audience is truly amazing.

Thanks to that, I feel sorry for saying this, but I don’t even look at the two people who came out together.

The sight of them harmonizing on the side also just looks like they are there to make Sungjun shine.

This sentiment was shared not only by those on site but also by viewers watching on TV.

– The remaining two are going to be like screens… but there’s nothing we can do. Seongjun=byul.

– Why is there a halo even when watching it on TV? I’m so jealous of the people who saw it liveㅜㅠ

– I have to go to Sungjun’s concert next time.

– Ticketing is so hard

And the special stage of the three people ended.

Seongjun, who came down from the stage, had a brief conversation with the two people.

“Thank you for your hard work. Live performances are really fun.”

“Seongjun, it seems like you did twice as well as when you rehearsed this morning.”

“Thanks to you, I almost died because I was so excited, really.”

After organizing the microphone and other things,

As we followed the staff’s instructions and sat down in our designated seats, the audience members around us let out exclamations of admiration.

“Wow, he’s really handsome. His face just glows.”

“It’s not the face, it’s the eyes.”

“Celebrity force is killing me…”

If the audience around me had been [My Star], someone might have fainted and spit out blood.

Besides, Sungjun’s seat happens to be next to Yuna and Monsta Z.

A picture of the three members of MXM Entertainment sitting side by side.

As they were captured on screen, reactions also came up in real-time comments.

– Crazy! I’m sick of the ‘Seongyu-mon’ picture! This year, MXM Entertainment will stand out among the big 4 entertainment companies?

– If it’s ‘Seongyumon’, then in the order of seating, it’s Seongjun, Yuna, and MonZ. If it’s in order of popularity, then it’s ‘Yuseongmon’, right?

– There are currently 5 songs in the Kiwi Top 10 with just Yuna and Sungjun.

– But don’t those two look good together? Oh, and there’s no visual dissonance between Monsta Z and Sungjun. If you didn’t know, you’d think they were the same team.

After a suitable amount of time, the final tally was completed.

“Then, I will announce the final rankings starting from 5th place.”

Park Hye-shin, who received the cue cards, started calling out the candidates’ numbers and names, and the result was this.

The final 5th place is Simon Kim.

The emotional indie song was a bit weak in the competition.

However, Kim Simon said he had no regrets.

The 4th place finisher was Yoru from Japan.

She was originally the sub-composer among the two-member band duo siblings.

Still, it was quite a feat to have made it to 4th place.

“Yoru-chan, you’re coming!”

Her elimination drew sighs from some in the audience.

Although they only finished in 4th place, they seem to have created a solid fandom in Korea.

Third place went to Jinwoo Oh, who became an icon of growth.

Oh Jin-woo’s rapid growth was also growth, and it was the result of the 49th fandom flocking to Oh Jin-woo, with whom he had good chemistry.

Jinwoo Oh, who took the microphone, shared his thoughts with tears in his eyes.

“I, I give this joy to my parents… Oh, and Seongjun hyung! It’s all thanks to you that I got 3rd place, thank you!!!”

At Oh Jin-woo’s sudden remark, all eyes are drawn to Seong-jun.

Seongjun gives a thumbs up to Oh Jinwoo.

“That was great, Jinwoo.”

The bromance between the two men was also a famous scene that was made into a meme by fans.

And the remaining two people took their places in the center of the stage.

Number 7 Zik and number 15 Mark were considered the strongest candidates to win from the beginning of the broadcast.

In the midst of tension and dry mouth,

After several ’60 second reveals’ and commercials, the final winner was finally announced, just before the outrage exploded.

“The final winner is…! Candidate number 7, Zigg!”

A victory sign descends from the ceiling and celebratory fireworks explode.

Mark, who came in second place, gave a cool round of applause, and a scene was broadcast on TV showing Zeke looking up at the ceiling with emotion.

And in the comments

– Wow, Zeke won. I thought it was Mark.

– In other audition programs, the finals are pretty predictable, but this time, it was completely unpredictable who would win.

– Yeah, they were both awesome.

– Hey, wait a minute. But then, doesn’t that mean that Seongjun, who beat Zeke, will end up winning?

– The food chain is like this. Sungjun > Zeke > Mark > Sungjun.

– Ah, it would have been even more fun if Sungjun had been among the final candidates!!!!

A strange phenomenon was occurring in which Sungjun was mentioned more than the winner, Zick.

Anyway, the live broadcast from the scene ended like that.

It was a moment when viewers watching on TV seemed satisfied and were about to change the channel.

at that time,

“Huh? What is it?”

Immediately after ‘Who’s the King’ ended, a teaser for a video was suddenly released.

A short teaser of about 30 seconds.

The faces of ten girls in pure white training suits quickly pass by.

And the phrase that follows.

Create your own girl group made up of your favorites.

MXM 1st Girl Group Debut Project

My favorite girls

March, COMING SOON

“Wow… No way…!!!!”

Ambitiously prepared by Choi Max-heon and Baek Seok,

It was a teaser announcing the launch of MXM Entertainment’s new girl group.

at the same time,

“Yes, sir. Yes? So I’m going to be a mentor for ‘Favorite Girls’?”

Seongjun will participate.

*

Next Monday,

“Brother! It’s been decided that additional music videos will be produced! It’s hot for both ‘Eraser’ and ‘Manual Love’!”

Oh Hae-soo brought good news.

This time, it’s the basic set composition.

Director Choi Seok-yong, actress Ye Seon-ha, male actor Dae-shin Seong-jun.

The filming date is scheduled for next week.

If I convey the filming concept to Choi Seok-yong through a meeting with the A&R team tomorrow, a neat scenario will come out based on that.

Meanwhile, there is no music show this week, but other things are a bit busy.

There’s a commercial shoot scheduled for this afternoon.

That’s right, this is an advertisement for the Saehyang Homme brand.

After finishing preparations, I headed straight to the commercial filming set.

This advertisement is for the launch of a new product.

It won’t be shown on TV CF, but it will be released on YouTube.

There are two versions, 30 seconds and 15 seconds.

As it is a homme brand that promotes masculinity,

The tone and manner is white and dark navy.

We received sponsorship for the outfits that matched the concept that was delivered in advance.

A navy shirt, white slacks, and brown loafers.

“Oppa, please be careful not to damage the costume while filming.”

“Why? Is this expensive?”

“Yes, oppa, if you add up everything from head to toe, it would be 20 million won?”

“Eeeeek?! The price of two silver coins?”

“Huh? What coin?”

Cha Seong-jun laughs it off awkwardly.

After completing all preparations including hair, makeup, and clothing.

Still cuts and commercial videos were filmed in sequence.

“Okay, then place the product close to your face.”

“I’ll open my eyes a little more dimly and try to show a little more decadence.”

“That’s really good! Then, please raise the corners of your lips slightly.”

“Okay, now let’s go to the next pose.”

Cha Seong-jun does his best according to the director’s direction.

When I was told to pose freely if I had prepared a pose, I recreated a few poses that I had seen in men’s magazines.

And that too, focusing on very deadly poses.

I did it because I was careful to do it properly if I was going to do it…

Later, the blanket kick and the Hyunta will come hard.

On the other hand, the response on the scene was good.

“Wow, Seongjun-ssi, you’re really good with the camera. And your expression and the vibe are really great. Have you ever shot a commercial before?”

“No, all I did was take a profile picture.”

“Then you must have just been born a celebrity.”

No, it’s thanks to the thick layer of [Beauty Cream].

Ah, maybe [Force Lv.5] was also at work.

Anyway, the official advertising video and still filming have been completed.

Next up is a slightly more casual promotional video.

“These days, Sungjun-ssi’s eye contact videos are trendy. So this time, I’m going to film it from a first-person perspective as if I’m making eye contact with fans. The concept is a video call. Have you tried it before?”

“sure.”

I did it with Seol Hye-yoon last Christmas.

But it ended suddenly due to my younger brother’s intrusion.

“Okay, then I’ll take a picture. Naturally, like I’m talking to Sungjun’s fans.”

Standing in front of the camera and talking to myself, I feel a little embarrassed and shy.

But I gained strength by thinking about [My Star].

“Hello, everyone. I’m currently at the Saehyang Homme commercial shoot. Yes, I’ve been so busy lately that I’m tired. Huh? But considering how tired I am, my skin looks so good, right? Of course, I’m serious about taking care of my skin. This time, I’m talking about the new Saehyang Homme ‘Ultra Homme Skin Care Lotion’ and so on…”

*

“Ugh, I’m going home now.”

After finishing the commercial shoot, I got into the van.

Well, I feel like I’ve been sucked out of something really great.

Advertising can make a lot of money at once, but…

After all, singing is the easiest and most enjoyable part for a singer.

Oh, I thought of something while singing,

As it happens, I have an official singing event scheduled for this week.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a cover song.

A new song scheduled for release on Friday.

That’s right, it’s Yuna’s ‘Jinnulkaebi’, which she co-composed and co-wrote.

‘I wonder if I can eat the three Winter Song generals.’

Since last week, a month after the release of Cha Sung-jun’s EP, two winter songs have taken the top 10 spots.

[Kiwi TOP 100]

6. (↑3) Snow Flower (Drama ‘Sorry for Loving You’ OST) – Park Hye-shin

10. (↑7 ) All I want for Christmas is Love – Maria Kelly

Even though both songs were released over 10 years ago, and the Christmas song is over 20 years old, they are still on the charts.

It must be truly an incredible force.

It would be nice if the sleet was like that too.

It was a time when I was humming the melody with anticipation.

“Oh, right, I got a call from you while you were filming a commercial.”

“What contact?”

When Cha Seong-jun asked, Oh Hae-soo smiled and said.

“I heard that the flight to Tokyo has been cancelled as scheduled for tomorrow or the day after.”

“Oh, finally!”

[Nahonbul] I’m going to Japan to meet Muportable, the production company.
