The Birth of the Monstrous Singer-Songwriter - Chapter 240



Only Krnovel

#240. Realistic

After returning to Korea, Jung Woo-dam decided to stop by a place rather than go straight home.

It is also closer to the airport than Namyangju, where there are single-family homes.

Paju, where Lim Cheongwol’s workshop is located.

The managing director moved with the manager instead.

And the sight he saw upon arriving at the workshop left the managing director speechless.

“Are you saying this is modern installation art?”

“It’s a musical instrument.”

Lim Cheong-wol, who was introduced, was very confident, and Wu Dam showed no signs of disappointment even though it was not completed according to the drawings.

Only the two eyes shone brightly.

Lim Cheong-wol asked Wu Dam.

“Mr. Woodam, you can tell how to use it just by looking at it, right?”

“I want to try it right away.”

“The owner is Mr. Woodam. “Please feel free to use it.”

He looked like he was wearing a tight suit and a bow attached.

Wooden bows are connected to the front, back, and sides of the jacket to prevent bending, and the folding angle of the arms and legs is adjusted to control the pitch of the sound.

Since there were only men, Woodam, who had no hesitation, approached the 3m high string pole.

Next, I started rubbing my back like someone who has an itch but can’t reach it and rubs it against the wall.

‘Not only can you move the pole, but you can also move up and down the octave by pressing the pole like a fingerboard.’

Tttttttttttt. Rrrrrrrrrrrrr~.

Jung Woo-dam, who quickly got the hang of it, played AC/DC’s Back In Black guitar riff in an acoustic style.

The managing director, surprised by that, looked at Lim Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue raised his thumb, straightened out his fingers, and curled his index finger and thumb into a circle.

‘We’re going to start talking about money.’

From the beginning, Jung Woo-dam had declared that he would develop an instrument to show a unique performance at the concert.

Since it was for the concert, the executive director was planning to invest generously on behalf of MNS Entertainment.

If Lim Cheong-wol wanted to commercialize the pole dance suit, he would help with production and distribution, even if it was unlikely to sell, and even pay royalties and development costs.

However, Lin Qingyue did not ask for money.

In addition, he hoped that his songs would receive attention from Jung Woo-dam.

“Can you remake my songs in a believable way?”

“You should ask Mr. Woodam about that. If it was a money issue, I would have solved it.”

“I think Mr. Woodam will also agree if MNS determines that it is okay.”

Although it is a management agency, it seemed to others that they were closely connected.

The managing director, who was in a good mood, looked at Woodam spinning like a top and nodded.

“We are just doing our best to support Mr. Woodam.”

Soon, Woodam carefully took off his bow suit and joined the conversation.

“What were you talking about?”

“You asked for my opinion on whether we could do another remake.”

“It’s an honor for me. The title of Bandal’s 2nd album has already been released, but the songs haven’t been written yet. Should we go for a remake?”

The title was decided to be , so there was no room to include it other than as a b-side song.

As a senior, this may be disappointing.

However, Wu Dam did not mean it in that way, and Lim Cheongwol knew well what it meant, so he felt reassured and grateful for his junior.

‘The title of the first album was Eek, but because it was a Christmas season song, the song included in it ended up being more popular.’

He held Woodam’s hand as he was changing his clothes.

“I am truly honored.”

“Please speak comfortably. Seniors.”

“Well, is that okay? To a world star.”

“He’s a world star. “Put those pants on first.”

Afterwards, Woodam and the executive director loaded the pole and suit into the van and left. It was easy to move because the pole was split in half.

* * *

After stopping at the supermarket and buying salmon sashimi, the executive director and Jung Woo-dam lowered the pole to the single-family home and asked anxiously.

“You must be tired. Do you really mind if I go to the broadcasting station tomorrow?”

“Seo Ji-an and Amus senior also made a comeback, and the PD also asked for some time.”

“Then I’ll come pick you up tomorrow, so get some rest. “It must be difficult due to the time difference.”

I had to get used to the time difference.

When her debut album in the US is released in April, she will be the headliner with Maxine Clay on the second day of Coachella Valley Music.

They plan to sing their hit songs individually and perform a joint performance at the end.

He is also interviewed on several American TV shows.

Then, he came right back and made a comeback with Vandal Band’s 2nd album in May, and then went to England in June and met Maxine Clay again.

He will also appear as a headliner at the Glastonbury Festival.

Even people around me were worried that they might have to adjust their schedules.

Still, Woodam’s decision remained unchanged.

‘I’m comfortable because my stamina tree is S grade.’

Woodam entered the entrance giggling.

“Guys, my brother is here.”

Then I took off my shoes and went to the bedroom.

I didn’t want any caterpillars eating trees to come by, so I left the wooden bag wide open.

Thanks to this, I could see the bears busy playing as soon as I entered the bedroom, but it took quite some time for them to adjust to the changes that had occurred while they were away from home.

“… … Why did it get wider?”

The wooden bag has grown three times larger.

It became the size of a 28-inch cargo carrier.

‘I can still only see the garden through the tree cam.’

The radius of the garden has not been expanded.

The bears’ garden is the same size as before, taking up one-third.

The remaining two-thirds.

‘You can see the pigeons and the little pigs’ houses, and you can also see Gomsuni’s neighborhood near the end? What is that place where there’s a mountain of abandoned musical instruments? ‘The setting is the near future?’

The modern-style buildings looked old, as if they had not been maintained for hundreds of years.

It was covered with grass and vines, like the buildings in the Bears’ garden.

The animal friends were living in a group around the shelter that shielded them from wind and rain.

You can also see a railroad connected in a straight line.

It hasn’t grown so big that you can see the entire continent, but I’m afraid that it will eventually become as big as a king-size bed.

“If that happens, it will be difficult to carry around.”

I was very fortunate to have Namu Cam.

Still, Woodam smiled and sat in front of the wooden bag.

“This is the view you see.”

At that time, three cows and six cowboys appeared at the border of the wooden bag.

-Wow wow wow~

It seems like they are on their way to explore.

As they passed by Gomsuni’s village, they stopped for a moment and looked into the village while hanging on the high wall.

Gomsuni, who was drawing water from the well, noticed their gaze and waved at the bears.

-Hung Hung.

-Heh duh duh!

As if they were ashamed of being caught, 3-Woong and 6-Woong quickly came down and hurried on.

“I seem to be wasting more time looking at the wooden bag than before.”

It’s as if an expansion pack has been released for a game you enjoy.

At the same time, Woodam had a quick guess as to why his bag had suddenly gotten bigger.

“Surely this is what you said you would give as a reward for the nap contest?”

And 3-Woong and 6-Woong returned to the garden, picking up tree branches and having a sword fight. Woodam, who was watching happily, was startled.

An area where talent trees are gathered.

This is because a tree that could not be grown with money grew.

“uh? Why is the wood used to make musical instruments grade C?”

I was already planning to get my pole dance suit inspected.

Not knowing how to get the test done, Woodam slipped the suit into his bag.

Before putting it all the way to the end, the cabin smoke creates the text.

-Rejected

-The screening has already ended.

-The instrument production tree has been upgraded by one level.

“Is the screening already over? “Did your grade go up because of this?”

It was a mission failure.

Still, Woodam was not frustrated.

“don’t worry. “My brother has a lot of ideas, so it won’t take 10 years.”

Woodam lay down next to the wooden bag and dozed off while watching the bears’ daily routine.

I fell into a sweet sleep.

I slept very soundly and didn’t wake up even once until the alarm went off.

Thanks the next day.

Udam’s back was a little sore from sleeping on the bare floor, but after eating the stamina fruit as a nutritional supplement, he quickly felt better.

“Wow, I slept uncomfortably, but home is still the best.”

As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked at the wooden bag, wondering if the bears had fallen into hibernation again.

-Abibaek.

Terminator 8 came out of the sauna, and Gumi 9 was soaking in the hot springs.

Fortunately, it’s the same as usual.

Woodam quickly prepared to go out.

The executive director and manager must have been tired, so they came to pick us up on time.

“Shall we go?”

I go to a terrestrial music broadcast on Saturday.

Not to be an audience, but to say hello.

Upon arriving at the broadcasting station, Choi Jun-seop and Park Chan-hee also joined.

Since other terrestrial networks had fun with Jung Woo-dam’s comeback show, they wanted to do something with Vandal Band.

“Hey, Hisashiburi.”

Choi Jun-seop approached with joy, and Park Chan-hee swallowed a sigh of relief as he looked at the plan he had received in advance.

“Because half moons don’t go to the dark room, they do things like this.”

“Guerrilla concert?”

“uh. “Wouldn’t Woodam be the right price for you?”

“Hey, what is the unit price? I like it because it looks like fun. “I can’t do it if I don’t like Seo Ji-an.”

“but. “If you’re hiding your identity, I absolutely agree.”

The broadcaster threw the bait well.

Looking at the plan, it is said that it is important not to let anyone know that they are a half-moon band from the time they distribute promotional materials.

Just to make it look like an indie band is recruiting audiences to come to a live house.

Then this time Choi Jun-seop asks.

“When will you come to the session practice room? “I should proceed with the composition requests as much as possible while you are there.”

“I can go later after I meet the producer, and I can stop by the Running Girls filming location tomorrow as well.”

“Oh, do you want to explain the live contest song?”

live broadcast. I’m talking about the final episode.

Currently, up to episode 5 has been broadcast, but recordings have been secured up to the 3rd competition.

Coincidentally, tomorrow, when Woodam goes, only 25 people will survive, including the results of the third contest and individual votes.

As a provocative survival show, the contest song must be played live during the tearful ranking announcement ceremony.

And Woodam and his group went to Seo Ji-an’s waiting room.

smart.

As soon as we meet, Seo Ji-an chuckles.

“Lee Jung Woo-dam, didn’t you give a really good song to the Amus juniors?”

I had no idea that the competition for first place would become this fierce.

Of course, although the tone may seem angry, the content is a high praise.

Moreover, Seo Ji-an started her career with a pre-released song last Friday, so she competes with Amus’ title with 3 days’ worth of performance on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Because of this, not many people thought it was tight.

Seo Ji-an then quickly calmed down and welcomed his friend’s return.

“Anyway, it finally feels like you’re in Korea. “I haven’t been gone for a long time, but strangely, it feels like it’s been a while since I last saw you.”

“I am everywhere and nowhere.”

“Yes, yes.”

There was another place where I could feel Jung Woo-dam’s return to his country.

* * *

The music platform with the highest market share in Korea is Sombre. This is the place where Jung Woo-dam was given the grand prize at the Music Awards.

On the other hand, ‘Loud’ is the second largest music platform in 1000.

It ranks second among domestic platforms, and if YouTube is included, it falls to third place.

It is even in 3rd place with a large gap.

Sombre and YouTube account for the majority, and Loud’s 10% market share is also shaky.

That’s why every day is an emergency response meeting.

Even though it was Saturday, the CEOs and executives who came to work gathered together and covered their heads.

“In addition to YouTube Music, overseas platforms are tapping the Korean market, so if things continue like this… … .”

“Honestly, they are all serving the same music source, so the competition is in the playlist and ease of operation.”

The CEO focused on what one executive said.

‘They all serve the same music source.’

The CEO compared Loud’s chart with other platform charts.

“Even though the music sources being served are the same, the rankings are different, right?”

“This is because the fandoms of some singers are going all-out on streaming, saying they will give them first place even if it is only on Loud, which has few users.”

Although it would be unthinkable in Sombre, which has a high market share, Loud’s sound recording performance is also reflected in music broadcasts, so they are strategically launching an all-out attack.

Despite this, they are unable to regain first place.

Let alone first place, even being in the top 10 is difficult.

Seo Jian and Amus ranked 1st and 2nd on Sombre, but other than that, there was no difference from the Loud chart.

Thanks to this, some people are complaining.

Loud executives compiled online public opinion.

-If I don’t get a song from Jung Woo-dam, I shouldn’t even dream of winning first place on a music show.

-Do you dare to dream?

-ah! What would you do if you didn’t catch the idol’s top 4000 king, Jung Woo-dam?

-Now, even if there are 4 thousand idols, I can’t catch them.

-Still, Seo Ji-an and Amus are at the top in sombre.

-ㄹㅇ Amus died and came back to life haha

-Yes~ The composer is Jung Woo-dam~

-It’s fortunate that the Herb Power sound source can only be heard on the Mrsquid channel. Otherwise, I would have lined up 5 more songs.

-I heard that Jung Woo-dam even created a composition team?

-It will dominate the charts even more.

-But it seems to have gotten even worse this year.

-what?

-Jung Woo-dam Monopoly!!!!

-admit. The real problem is that as soon as Jung Woo-dam releases a new song, even his past songs re-enter the top 100 like zombies.

Jeong Woo-dam is a species that disturbs the ecosystem.

No, it has become a destructive species.

This one, released in November, hasn’t come out yet, and the one that came out in December was also a success.

If things continue like this, we will have to give awards to Jung Woo-dam every week, month, and year.

Representative Loud saw this situation as an opportunity.

“What if it were like this? “The songs sung by Jung Woo-dam, the songs composed by Jung Woo-dam, and the songs composed by the composition team Seeth.”

“Wow, really?”

“We are not providing service.”

I focus on fandoms who want my singer to be number one and listeners who are anti-hipster and have an aversion to trends.

“Since when are you talking about this?”

The bull’s horn was also said to be sweet.

The representative stood up after the meeting and gave instructions.

“From this moment.”
