#244. Article 1 Club

In the office of music platform Loud, the CEO is snoring.

“The number of users has decreased? Didn’t I tell you? “It will decrease and then increase again.”

“That’s true, but it’s gotten to the point where we can’t recover the original number of users even if we increase.”

The director, who would have sighed nervously if he had not been in the presence of the CEO, managed to calmly reply.

In response, CEO Loud clicks his tongue and gives instructions.

“This time, post a notice like this.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s not that we are excluding Jung Woo-dam, but we are trying to open a new chart just for Jung Woo-dam. “He also apologized for causing any misunderstanding to MNS.”

“… … yes?”

“Do you find my words difficult? Then I will contact MNS directly.”

Woodam’s Peace (S) tree effect has been activated.

However, they could not stop MNS from advancing into the music platform business.

Loud’s downhill slope has begun.

* * *

It was the title of Shin Kim Choi’s comeback title with a cyberpunk worldview. In Korean, it means ‘magical girl’.

Producer Jung Woo-dam took charge of composing, arranging, and writing the lyrics.

Everything from the music video plan to the choreography plan.

This was possible because of video production, stage production, and dance trees.

It can be said that only the styling and marketing were left without Woodam’s touch.

The genre is, of course, KR&B, but leader Shin Chae-yoon had expected it from the time he filmed his own content about learning choreography.

I just didn’t want to believe it.

“Dancing… … .”

Shin Chae-yoon made a frustrated pose instead of practicing.

The second child, Dabin Kim, comforts her.

“While you are doing well. The producer also said that he is not going down the idol route now.”

“know. “We decided to express diversity within the framework of KR&B.”

“And honestly, when we say dance, it’s a grandiose level of movement.”

“It’s high level for me.”

What Dabin Kim said was true.

Shin Kim Choi’s choreography was more like a Japanese girl group choreography than the Running Girl contest stage.

There are no flashy steps or difficult skills such as visually flashy batting.

There are waves, but they are not bold.

There is little change in the movement line just by gently shaking it.

Although Shin Chae-yoon dreamed of becoming a singer, she never thought she would become a singer, much less dance, so she lacked confidence and was even embarrassed.

It even became MVP in the dance class content itself. Shin Chae-yoon, who was crouching down, didn’t bother to look at the comments again.

-ㅋㅋㅋ When will Chaeyoon get tired of dancing?

-I came to see you today too!

-today? I come to see it every hour

-Chae Yoon, lighten up your expression ㅠㅠ Someone is doing lovely waves and glaring at the camera as if they are going to kill you.

-Shin Chae-yoon She is a world-class dancer.

-It’s a world view where World is the name of a town, right??

-There are probably at least 100 people in every neighborhood who dance better than Chaeyun.

Kim Da-bin took away Shin Chae-yoon’s phone because he was afraid that she would want to hide in the mouse hole even more.

Shin Chae-yoon was replying to a mischievous comment.

-This is MNS Enter. Since you won the event, let me know your address.

Dabin Kim snatched the phone and couldn’t even use it.

“Why the address? Are you really going to hit me?”

“Do you have any news to share? Why are you hitting me? “I’m going to apply for a dance battle to see if it’s okay to make fun of me.”

“hmm. “I think Jacon will be fine.”

Shin Chae-yoon thought that Kim Da-bin was also a broadcaster. She was just trying to accept the reply, but when she calmed down anyway, she deleted what she had written.

“I’m so thankful just for giving me a song, but I didn’t understand that there were times when other senior singers were against my new song.”

“There are a lot of anecdotes. “The members were against it, but it was a huge hit.”

Although this is an anecdote that does not exist at MNS Entertainment, it is said to occur frequently at other agencies.

There are cases where the song is childish and you earnestly ask the producer if you can promote with a different song.

It’s definitely not because the producer is easy.

It is said that even idols with low years of experience and who are famous for being polite have had a hard time saying things out of curiosity, but the producer pushed them to do so, so in the end, they were able to promote without embarrassing their fans.

However, there are not just one or two teams, but several teams that have anecdotes about sweeping first place and becoming the first president.

On the other hand, Shin Chae-yoon tried to object as soon as she heard it, but she never spoke out because it was a song that Jung Woo-dam, who was already busy, had written with the girls in mind.

I blindly trusted him.

It’s not because the songs Jung Woo-dam composes always become hits, but because I know very well that he’s not a person who wants to embarrass anyone.

Of course, she is 25 years old, and it may seem like she is being strongly rejected because it has some movement and the title is Magical Girl in Korean.

But the bigger problem is the lyrics.

This time, there is a rap part, so they are not sure if fans will like it.

Choi Bom, who was sitting with her back against the wall mirror, was also practicing her rap part.

“Eh, Ay my wand superconductor. I will bow arrows and bow you with the power of Cupid… … .”

“You’re not crying, are you?”

“I’m not crying. “I want to cry, but I want to.”

Kim Da-bin also expressed his sorrowful expression in the lyrics, saying that he understood.

“I’m at an age where I feel ashamed of lyrics like this.”

“Wouldn’t you be embarrassed even if you weren’t 18? “For some reason, I don’t mind being a magical girl, but it’s not like an ordinary magical girl, it’s like a second year of middle school.”

Phew.

All the members heard that Jung Woo-dam was coming to watch practice today, so they were worried about whether they would be able to do well.

What’s even more surprising is that if the members thought the song had more of a title feel, MNS unanimously chose .

Shin Chae-yoon recalled that day.

“I still can’t believe that even senior Seo Ji-an voted for Magical Girl.”

The younger siblings answer in order of age.

“We’re new, so I guess our hearing is weak.”

“Seo Ji-an’s lyrics are also sad, but he’s the second cicada, Drop the beat. “You assured me that it would probably be even more successful than that.”

So Seo Ji-an wanted to correct the lyrics, but she couldn’t help because she was busy preparing for the comeback.

Instead, the first female juniors were made to appear in a music video with a space opera concept in the hope that they would become a hot topic right before their comeback.

“Senior, are you starting this week? “The title activity called us in the music video.”

“You finished the pre-release song yesterday.”

“But I don’t know if I can dare to call it by its title.”

“Because of Tessera Summer?”

“yes. “It feels like I’m speaking informally.”

This is also the title of Seo Ji-an’s new song.

Although it is a very common title, netizens endlessly linked Seo Ji-an and TERCERA’s Summer, hoping that the day would come when they would become friends and perform a duet.

But I also wanted to hear Shin Chae-yoon.

‘Is there anyone in the world who wouldn’t like the collaboration between the two?’

Although no one has a husky voice with a deep low note like Shin Chae-yoon, Seo Ji-an also has an attractive huskyness despite her coldness.

On the contrary, Summer’s strength is her transparent and clear voice. Even though it looks easy, he uses difficult singing techniques.

It’s a tone that can be loud if you’re not focused, but you make up for it with your skills.

This was also the style that Jung Woo-dam pursued through Shin Kim Choi. A song that seems easy but is difficult.

‘It’s sure to be a tonal party, but I’ll never see the collaboration between the two of you in my lifetime.’

The possibility of realization is 0%.

at that time.

The practice room door opened slightly.

Just enough that you can’t even peek through the gap, and just enough for your voice to come through.

“Can I come in? “The new building is so well soundproofed that I knocked, but I guess I couldn’t hear you.”

It was Jung Woo-dam.

“You can come in!”

“I was waiting because I heard you were coming!”

“Wow! “It’s the producer!”

Shin Chae-yoon and Kim Da-bin hurriedly straightened their hair and clothes, and Choi Bom ran to the door like a dog going for a walk.

However, there was a change in Choi Bom.

He didn’t seem like a named fan of star Jung Woo-dam like before. After attending his 3rd album comeback show, his fan sentiment changed to respect and admiration.

Although I didn’t leave ㅂrㄹr, I felt keenly at a young age what kind of singer I should become while watching Jung Woo-dam.

‘I become Woo Daming, no, you become the producer! From now on, attacks directed at the producer will be regarded as attacks directed at me.’

Hesitating and hesitating.

Choi Bom’s mind was noisy.

I decided to absorb Jung Woo-dam as he is.

Therefore, I observed everything I saw analytically.

Jung Woo-dam rubbed his eyes, so I did the same.

“I’m sorry, but do you have a mirror? “Something got in my eye.”

You don’t have to follow this.

“There are mirrors everywhere.”

“That’s right.”

The four walls of the practice room were mirrored.

Jung Woo-dam looked in the mirror, pulled his eyebrows out of his eyes, and pulled a folding chair from the corner.

Then, instead of straightening the chair and sitting down, he stood up.

“Do you know why I came today?”

“Do you want to climb on the chair?”

“They say that only this way you can see the choreography and movement clearly.”

Jung Woo-dam has eye-level insoles. This is an item that shares the view from the sky.

Thanks to this, I was able to act from the perspective of an actor and camera director during the filming of My Stranger 2.

However, there is a limitation: it only activates indoors when the ceiling is high, such as in a concert hall.

It has no effect in the practice room.

So I climbed onto the chair.

In other words, they would immediately check the amount of practice for the new song.

‘I thought we’d exchange a bit about how we’ve been.’

‘You’re very busy… … .’

‘I guess I’ll have to take a quick look and then go back!’

Shin Kim Choi was not disappointed. Because Jung Woo-dam knows that even having 10 bodies is not enough.

Still, since it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, I wanted to say hello.

Even though they are rookies, other than Choi Bom, they are adults.

Just because Jung Woo-dam is a producer, we should not take it for granted as if he entrusted the production to us. There is no law preventing him from growing a new team.

The two sisters knew very well that relationships with producers were very important to survive in the music industry.

Although Shin Chae-yoon has no sense of humor and is not a good person, he hesitated and asked.

“Duh, what do you call a fan with the lid open?”

“Cost Reduction?”

“… … Kkanpunggi. sorry.”

“yes?”

I tried to come up with a joke that would target Jung Woo-dam’s tastes, but my face ended up turning bright red.

Dabin Kim stepped forward.

“How was your schedule in America? “What did you do here today?”

“Herb Power was caught right away, and Maxine Clay suddenly started shaking while eating. I thought there was an earthquake. “When I came to MNS, I heard about the tour.”

Although each topic was of interest, I was especially curious about Jung Woo-dam’s tour.

“How many countries are you going to?”

“They say there will be 50 episodes in 23 countries.”

“omg.”

“Not only me, but A Travel, Zero Number seniors, and Seo Ji-an also have tours planned in the second half of the year. Mr. Liu has to go to the military next year, so his only activities in Korea and Asian fan meetings will be limited.”

Fans call Kim Da-bin a fool, but even though his father dreamed of becoming a singer, he was once the CEO of Byeokseong Industries, so he was pretty quick about it.

‘This year, MNS might even be in the 1 trillion club.’

Since she was also a member of MNS, she had no choice but to be attentive to internal rumors.

I heard that MNS is going to build Korea’s first performance dome, has decided to acquire a music platform with the largest market share after Loud, and is planning to buy Mad CS’s agency and incorporate it into its label due to its hub power.

‘I don’t know Mad CS senior’s agency.’

The other two cases involve large expenditures.

Since MNS is about to be listed, it would be better to lock the safe, but they say they will press ahead with the investment.

But it was because I had faith in something.

After hearing it from Jung Woo-dam, there was no need to save.

‘Compared to when I joined the company as a trainee, how much has it grown?’

I remember that publishing, music distribution, and artist sales were in the hundreds of billions of dollars, relying on just one person, Seo Ji-an.

However, after signing a management agency contract with Jung Woo-dam, Rio also took off, Atreble’s fandom grew to the point where ZET’s direct label coveted it, and the unplanned vocal group Shin Kim Choi debuted.

Where is that?

Seo Ji-an, who had not put emphasis on overseas activities, was inspired by Jung Woo-dam and decided to submit her album “Four Seasons” to the Grammys.

ZER0 Number also came from TKL Entertainment, and the Running Girl franchise is gaining popularity with Jung Woo-dam providing the contest song.

‘Really, we were being produced by an incredible person.’

I knew this, but I was surprised again.

Kim Da-bin’s expression became solemn, and Shin Chae-yoon and Choi Bom didn’t realize it either, so they pursed their lips.

The determination of the three people was the same.

‘Magical Girl, don’t disappoint.’

Then, as soon as Jung Woo-dam arrives, he explains the reason why he checks the amount of learning for the new song.

“Let’s finish quickly and go eat. “It’s lunch time.”

Since Jung Woo-dam never missed a meal, he was in a hurry.

“yes!”

Shin Kim Choi took the opening pose without wasting time, and Woo Dam played the music.

Trunk, trunk, truffle.

A small drum beat drum is flowing.

Shin Chae-yoon, the lead singer, performs live while waving his arms.

“The back of my head hurts, the lasers shooting out of my eyes.”

“Re-re-re-laser!”

but yet… … .

The shame was Shin Kim Choi’s share.

But Jung Woo-dam is satisfied and just claps his hands.

‘It’s a song that calls for showing shyness rather than boldness, but everyone pulls it off well.’

There were signs of a big hit.

There were just three weeks and four days left until the release of the American debut album “FAR.”
