Looking at the Korean media, Coachella seems to be the most famous music festival in the world.

However, if you were to survey American festival enthusiasts, they would most likely choose Glastonbury in England, where Woodam will be going in June.

Glastonbury is a war, starting with ticket sales.

It’s not easy to get tickets, so much so that I wish I could go there even just once.

And next on the list after Glastonbury would be the Montreal Jazz Festival in Canada and the Brazilian Rock Riot.

For enthusiasts, going to Canada and Brazil is not a problem.

In fact, the rate of aircraft use rises significantly during the festival period.

It’s not that there are no well-known festivals in the United States.

Essence Music and Jazz & Heritage in New Orleans, EDC in Las Vegas, UMF in Miami, and Lollapalooza in Chicago also attract large crowds.

Nevertheless, if Coachella is especially famous in the Korean media, it is not because Korean singers have been performing every year for several years, but because it is a festival especially loved by celebrities.

The theme of Coachella is desert, music, and fashion.

You can easily meet fashion influencers, and stars who go on stage also pay close attention to fashion.

When Korean idol fans vote for the best stage costumes, Coachella costumes are always at the top.

Thanks to this, today, ZET also appointed a popular new designer as a stylist to Jung Woo-dam.

However, while Jung Woo-dam liked it because it was comfortable to wear, the executive director only laughed.

“It looks cool, but… … “Hey.”

He wore premium jeans, sneakers, and a loose, short-sleeved shirt.

However, the top and bottom of the shoes are not very durable and are torn here and there as if they were torn while being worn. The stitches are scattered.

The manager also tilts his head.

“Isn’t it more torn than before? “I’m glad that the places that needed to be covered were covered.”

“They say the world of fashion is profound.”

“It’s so profound, yet so profound.”

Jung Woo-dam also didn’t know much about fashion, so he wore whatever was given.

Moreover, it was not possible to change Woodam’s styling before he went on stage.

It had already been done and came down.

‘If it weren’t for the grass flute, the audience would have come on stage and ripped off all their clothes.’

Woodam recalled the performance.

It was like a Korean music broadcast, except that it was outdoors and the audience was so crowded that you couldn’t see the end.

There were many familiar faces.

As expected from a concert full of celebrities, I met Wolff and Anne Pink.

I knew before the lineup was announced that I was coming to Coachella, so the featuring was done. She contacted me saying she would do it first.

Of course, Nikki came with us from New York and sang.

All four songs, including Maxine, were performed with other singers.

It wasn’t enough that the Yeonji tree effect was added to all of Jung Woo-dam’s talents, and the audience was on the verge of losing consciousness as the combination changed on each stage.

There were people who burst into tears while laughing happily, and there were also people who looked like they were going to lose their minds while shouting at the top of their lungs.

Crowds of people came rushing in like waves to get a closer look.

It almost caused a big accident.

Thanks to the recreation god’s grass flute, which restored order and brought us to our senses, we ended the performance safely.

They even thought that the sound of the grass flute was a kind of performance, so they stayed in their seats and just shook their bodies.

‘This is an item that really came out at the right time.’

What was most surprising was that audiences of various races loved his music.

, which was considered far from popular, was even decorated as a sing-along song.

‘I’m proud.’

A healthy smile appeared on Woodam’s face.

The executive director, who was thinking that he should not receive ZET’s styling during his next activities in North America, also burst into laughter.

“I’m even more looking forward to the Vandal Guerrilla Con and the MNS joint con. Mr. Woodam’s world tour as well.”

“Ah, I guess I’ll have to prepare for Guerrilla Concert as soon as I return home.”

The US debut, which had a large income, ends today.

Unlike UMF, Coachella does not go on stage for three consecutive days. The performance will be held twice, but the lineup will be completely different for the second time.

Actually, I think that compared to the long time I prepared, I didn’t do much when I came to the United States.

However, it is surprising that the promotion was maintained and the number of people recognizing it increased dramatically.

‘It was difficult to roll the ball on flat ground, but it seemed to roll on its own when going downhill?’

Just as the saying goes that money makes money, fame seemed to bring fame.

Woodam thought that he was simply lucky, met good people, and things worked out easily.

Of course, the thoughts of MNS executives and staff regarding him were different.

‘It’s all the result of Mr. Woodam. A genius who works hard receives the reward for working tirelessly.’

This year, Jung Woo-dam will definitely win at least one of America’s three major music awards.

With that expectation in mind, the managing director asked, filling his lungs with muggy air.

“Then, shall we go back?”

* * *

The CEO of Mad CS’s agency, Opal Entertainment, was embarrassed.

This is because we will soon meet with the MNS CEO and business division head.

‘You want to buy a 30% stake in Opal for 2 billion?’

The story has been going back and forth for a while.

Mad CS formed an EDM project group with Jung Woo-dam, and it was convenient for both parties to incorporate them into the label in terms of scheduling and settlement.

But I heard the amount yesterday.

It’s not embarrassing to write it down.

It was the opposite.

‘I would have responded even if it was 1 billion won. No, isn’t 1 billion a lot? We can’t say we can give you less of this.’

Since the company is not being sold, the CEO position will be maintained.

It just creates a parent company that never existed.

And the value of hub power also comes from Jung Woo-dam. He is a super star whose music video reached 100 million views in just one month.

Mad CS’ biggest hit song took a year to reach 10 million views. As soon as it was known that they were Hub Power members, the number reached 20 million.

Moreover, the price of a singer is determined based on advertising and event fees, and although no media advertisements have been filmed yet and they are diligently circulated during the event season, they receive 10 million won for three songs.

This also happened unexpectedly due to inflation in the salaries of celebrities.

Thanks to this, the CEO felt like he had won the lottery because the only team he belonged to happened to be friendly with Jung Woo-dam.

“haha.”

I still couldn’t believe it.

At that moment, the manager came into the representative office.

“CEO! “I heard MNS people are visiting.”

“why?”

“I can’t see the kids.”

“uh?”

I tried to visit MNS at OneLan Opal Entertainment, but I told Mad CS to stay still in the practice room because no matter what I said, he was coming in person.

Since precious people are coming, shouldn’t they be greeted by the only singer they have with them?

But they weren’t the ones to listen.

“Didn’t you at least go to the convenience store? “Call me quickly.”

“yes.”

The appalled manager quickly contacted me.

Fortunately, Mad CS answered the phone well.

-yes~

“Where are you guys?”

-I’m going to the airport. why!

“airplane? And why? The MNS representative is coming?”

-ah. For us, the director comes first. We can’t have a zombie outbreak like last time.

I have no concept, but my mind is amazing.

The problem is that I only have feelings for Jung Woo-dam.

Even though I told him to come right away, he had no intention of coming back, so I ended up hanging up.

The CEO stamps his foot.

“Where can I borrow singers?”

“Why are you borrowing it? “Even if you borrow it, you’re not our singer.”

“The office is empty.”

Just then, the MNS representative arrived.

Standing behind him are executives wearing luxurious suits.

“Nice to meet you. “Is the door open?”

“Oh my gosh, CEO! Come in! “Thank you very much for coming to such a humble place.”

At the same time, Opal’s representative apologized.

“We are sorry that Mad CS went to meet Director Jung Woo-dam when he returned home.”

He also invited Jung Woo-dam as director.

“it’s okay. “You are positive about our proposal, so we can see it at any time.”

“no way?”

“If you agree to the contract, how about moving into the MNS headquarters building?”

“Good or bad!”

In that way, Opal Entertainment became MNS Entertainment’s first label.

Also, Mad CS at that time.

“The director is a hot topic even when he is not in Korea.”

“A hot topic site. haha.”

The two laughed at the joke and continued monitoring.

[The American continent is enthusiastic about Jung Woo-dam’s landing]

[Is this an American album? Initial sales of 1.5 million copies!]

[Jung Woo-dam’s tattered style that even fashion influencers gave up on]

[Thailand’s No. 1 food company in market capitalization, CQ Jeong Woo-dam appointed as exclusive model]

[Meet Jung Woo-dam in Singapore as well. [Jung Woo-dam, who became the face of Singapore’s first bank]

[Coachella, Jung Woo-dam’s stage was the most crowded]

[Joe’s Tonight Joe “Please appear on WD again”]

Korean stars are not only found in Korea.

When you travel overseas, Korean stars often appear in local advertisements, and it seems that Jung Woo-dam has taken over recently.

It is said that they come to Korea to shoot commercials so that he does not have to go to each of those countries individually as he is busy.

“The director’s popularity is really crazy.”

“Crazy Director!”

That moment.

The voice I’ve been waiting for comes from behind.

“Did you call me?”

Jung Woo-dam appeared, leading an orderly crowd.

“Director!”

It wasn’t just Jung Woo-dam.

MNS 1st headquarters was a given, and Vandal Band’s Choi Jun-seop and Park Chan-hee joined first.

“what? “Are you guys here too?”

“Brothers?”

Jung Woo-dam doesn’t mince words, but he’s been with his friends for a long time.

As soon as he returned to Korea, Jung Woo-dam unwrapped a beautiful gift. There were material gifts and festival appearances.

“Germany is the biggest DJ music market, right? “I was invited to the Herb Power Germany Festival.”

“omg!”

“Use the rock fee for Vandal, use it, Summer Sonic.”

Woodam was stuttering for some reason, and the two friends just looked the other way and tried not to laugh.

Still, Mad CS is excited that the hub power continues.

“I thought it would be a one-off project, but it’s not?!”

“It can’t be. “It has to be at least four years.”

“Naisu!”

During the four-year period, Mad CS did not even question it.

Jung Woo-dam signed a 5-year contract with MNS Entertainment, and this month marks the 1st anniversary of his debut, so there are 4 years left.

After that it becomes optional.

Rather, reducing activity may be the way to a long run.

If you continue to be active your entire life, not only will you not have a body left, but you will also lose your scarcity value from the public.

We need to break away from what has become commonplace.

It’s not for nothing that Maxine Clay releases an album and tours every two years.

This was a concern not only for singers but also for all celebrities.

‘If actors are seen too often, at some point they go from leading roles to supporting roles.’

So, I was happy that Mad CS could be with me even at the crossroads of choice.

The crowd that was chasing Jung Woo-dam by taking pictures of him also took pictures of him and his fellow musicians on one screen.

click.

I don’t know why, but I felt like there would come a time when I would miss this day.

At the same time, Jung Woo-dam bows.

“Please go in carefully!”

“bye! “Udaming!”

“Going Jung Woo-dam!”

“Gamsamdyot!”

There was no bad manners to be found in the disbanding movement. Although it was thanks to the full flute, Mad CS came to respect Jung Woo-dam again.

‘Wow, the qualities of a king. ‘Paewangsaek.’

‘Is this the charisma of a star?’

Afterwards, we all had a meal together at a driver’s restaurant not far from the airport.

Woodam also signed the president’s request.

It hung right on the wall.

Then, after dropping everyone off at the session practice room, Jung Woo-dam finally returned to his single-family home in Namyangju.

“Brother is here!”

As soon as I arrived, I threw away my luggage and went to look at the wooden bag.

The wooden bag was as big as a cargo carrier, and the bears’ capacity was only one-third, but when I returned home, it took up half.

“uh? what?”

The bears’ real estate investment has begun.

Woodam, who didn’t know the English language, only said hello and collected the items that came over.

Several types of instruments were sent to me for repair, as well as earrings and stickers to put on the instruments.

And Jung Woo-dam began shooting commercials the next day without any time to rest, and also attended meetings of the composition team Seeth.

The day to record the Vandal Band Guerrilla concert has arrived.

When Woodam returned with a bigger weight class than at the planning meeting, the staff gave him a frog doll mask, feeling guilty about giving something like this to a world star.

“Well, I’m sorry. Mr. Woodam.”

“What?”

On the contrary, Woodam was just having fun.

I had vague expectations, just like when I appeared on American shows.

I told this prediction to Seo Ji-an and her friends, who were disgusted by the frog doll mask and thought it was too realistic.

“About 10 years later.”

“huh?”

“I think in 10 years, I will be working less as a singer and working harder as a producer.”

“suddenly?”

Seo Ji-an looked at him intently, as if asking what he was talking about.

“But if I were to become a singer, I think I would be in the Vandal Band.”

“Isn’t it obvious? I have to go to the dinner show. “If you don’t do it on the way, I will always go to your house and ring the bell.”

If it’s Seo Ji-an, that may really be the case.

Woodam smiled and put on his frog mask.

Then, the assistant director confirmed that the follow cameras were well hidden and then hit the slate.

“From now on, you must not be conscious of the cameras!”

widely!
