The Birth of the Monstrous Singer-Songwriter - Chapter 252

#252. North Pole
The first video Choi Bom showed Choi Jeong-woo was Vandal Band’s 2nd album Guerrilla Concert.
[Please remove the eye patch!]
[Wow!]
The Vandal Band on stage probably didn’t know that the audience would gather this much, so they gave a surprised reaction that was never shown through their acting.
It was worth it.
The mission was successful only if there were over 4,000 people, but 30,000 people filled Nanji Park.
Choi Jun-seop and Park Chan-hee broke down, Jung Woo-dam sighed in relief, and Seo Ji-an folded his knees with a smile.
“Wow, I guess Jian’s legs gave out because she was so surprised.”
“Are you just saying that all women are older sisters and all men are uncles?”
“No. “You have to be pretty to be a sister.”
“Even if you become a real singer, don’t debut on MNS.”
If he grew up like this and debuted, he would monopolize the attention of entertainment media outlets specializing in gossip.
Then Choi Jeong-woo retorts.
“If Mari debuts on MNS, will I join her?”
“Who did it for you? “I guess it was because of Mari that I seemed to trust you more than anything?”
“Dad, you always do that too. “If it wasn’t for Uncle Woodam, I wouldn’t have started making music again.”
Marie is Jung Woo-dam’s daughter. She now she just turned 7 years old.
I got married as soon as my 5-year management agency contract with MNS Entertainment ended, and I gave birth to my daughter that year.
The wedding and the birth news were celebrated around the world.
Especially when Choi Bom remembers the wedding, she still gets goosebumps.
‘It wasn’t just the Korean entertainment industry that gathered, but people from all over the country and abroad, including business and politics.’
It was a VIP banquet.
Shin Kim Choi sang a congratulatory song at that event.
Even though I was quite familiar with the entertainment industry, I was so nervous that I thought I was going to die.
And the reason why my daughter’s name is Marie.
‘No one knew that the child’s name would be taken from the polar bear’s scientific name, Ursus Maritimus.’
Jung Woo-dam’s love for polar bears is unusual, and that love was passed on to his daughter.
My wife was very opposed to the idea of using Maritimus, so we agreed on using Mari.
Choi Bom, who thought he was acting like a producer, chuckled and asked.
“So, are you saying that just like Director Choi Jun-seop became Vandal Band with producer, you too will make music with Mari? “With a kid who hasn’t even started elementary school yet?”
“Sister, don’t you know Marie’s talent?”
“I know better than you, right?”
He plays the piano with his small hands as if he was born with the blessings of the God of Music.
Where is the piano?
My house is overflowing with musical instruments.
It is an environment where one has no choice but to become a musician.
Thanks to this, Marie is taking over the instruments one by one without even paying attention to the toys.
They didn’t even assign a lesson teacher.
Just as parents let their children watch videos on their phones when going out, Jung Woo-dam and his wife reportedly showed their children cartoons at first.
But he showed no interest, so I played a video of the concert and he became quiet like a ghost.
‘That means the child taught himself through videos.’
Both of his parents are singers, so he may have inherited his talent. However, close acquaintances say the same thing.
When Mari grows up, she will surprise the world at a younger age than when Jung Woo-dam debuted.
Maybe even before becoming an adult.
‘If you think like that, Choi Jeong-woo can also be said to be wise.’
Playing music with the second generation of Jung Woo-dam’s family.
“Unlike Uncle Woodam, Mari is very shy, so I need to protect her as her older brother and partner in the singer-songwriter duo.”
“The conclusion is that you will be buried by Mari, who is five years younger than you, right?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to help rather than bury it?”
“I think the help you will receive will be much greater.”
“Ah, sister, aren’t you speaking to the child too without a filter?”
“A child should be a child. And my aunt.”
Anyway, back to the Vandal Band Guerrilla concert.
[Thank you for coming! Let’s go to the first song of the 2nd album, Mach!]
The new song was released, barely able to silence the audience’s cheers.
If is a Christmas season song, is a Buddha’s Birthday season song.
It wasn’t a genre that didn’t exist before, but it was an unfamiliar genre called techno rock. This song is also called a remix of the Heart Sutra, which is longer than the title.
First, Park Chan-hee cuts off the introduction by softly chanting.
[Mahavanya Paramita Heart Sutra]
[Mahavanya Paramita Heart Sutra]
[Mahavanya Paramita Heart Sutra]
[Mahavanyaparamita… … .]
Jung Woo-dam then takes over the part.
[Simpson!]
pop!
As the stage was sponsored by a well-funded beverage brand, the special effects were spectacular.
A pillar of fire soars up to cover the entire stage, and even a drone unit is dispatched to decorate the darkened sky.
The drones created the words BAND ALL and turned it into lyrics as well as subtitles.
At this time, the technology was not able to show all the lyrics quickly, so it was only active at the climax.
Choi Jeong-woo, who was watching the video, unconsciously leaned forward as if he would be sucked into the monitor.
“kid. “I’m going to fall.”
“You keep calling me a kid.”
Still, I couldn’t pull my body back.
Even to this day, when Bandal Band fans pick fun performances, Nanji Park is always at the top of the list.
At this point, Choi Jeong-woo also understood.
‘It takes less than 10 seconds to drive the audience crazy.’
If Park Chan-hee lowered his voice and refrained from concentrating, as soon as Jung Woo-dam appeared, he started bouncing as if 30,000 people had decided at the same time that it was time to play.
The Vandal Band and the audience all felt the music as one.
‘It’s exciting to see in the video, but if you were there… … .’
Although not as good as Marie, Choi Jeong-woo also grew up in an environment where he was exposed to music, so he was able to evaluate the stage more maturely than his peers.
The best.
My hands grew so quickly that I wanted to play a regular guitar instead of a children’s guitar.
‘Where I should be is the stage, not the audience!’
I fantasized.
This was the imagination of every aspiring musician who watched Jung Woo-dam’s performance, but among them, Choi Jung-woo was seriously ill.
Fortunately, self-objectification went well.
‘Once Marie grows up.’
Coincidentally, the performance in the video moves to .
As Choi Bom said that she would only show the highlights, the talks were skipped unless they were important.
“Thunder’s music videos are excellent, but they still can’t beat the performances.”
“Why can’t these videos be AR? “I want to feel the atmosphere of the scene properly.”
“You can never feel the atmosphere of the scene through augmented reality.”
Choi Bom’s answer made Choi Jeong-woo think, ‘A professional is a professional.’
Only then did I see the pride of a top soloist in the country, not just a close older sister I could see occasionally thanks to my father.
An affirmation that only a star who knows the field well can make.
So I asked a question.
“Sister, the video I’m showing you right now is from when my dad, uncles, and sister Jian were 28, right? “My sister is now 28 years old.”
“however?”
“Is 28 the peak age for singers?”
Phew.
Choi Bom, caught off guard, burst into laughter.
I’m not laughing at it, but because Choi Jeong-woo is a good speaker for his age.
“Everyone’s prime is different. “There may be more artists who don’t come, but if you compare my 28 years old with the producer’s 28 years old, well.”
“why?”
“When I was 18 years old, while watching Producer, I had a vague thought that if singer was my calling, I could do the same thing at that age, right? “It wasn’t.”
This is the reason why Jung Woo-dam has been called the history of popular music itself since 2024, and it is also the reason why he supported PG along with Seeth.
Choi Bom continued.
“There is probably no one before or since who has taken charge of several project groups and developed the music industry like you, singing, composing, and producing.”
“Manager?”
“Means nothing. Now that I’m the same age, I’ve come to realize that the producer is the only person who made the impossible possible.”
Moreover, 2024, when Jung Woo-dam was 28 years old, was not even his peak year.
His heyday is still continuing, but if I had to point it out, it would be when his management agency contract with MNS Entertainment ended.
There was even an agency that offered hundreds of billions of dollars in down payment alone.
In his 6th year, Jung Woo-dam had already surpassed Maxine Clay in terms of tour size.
It was in trillions of Korean won.
In addition to bringing along amazing musical instruments that are rarely seen, fans have become so numerous that they wish they could buy a once-in-a-lifetime ticket like the Glastonbury Festival.
Despite the size of the tour, he was not a singer who only promoted himself to do well.
Even if Shin Kim Choi is the only group that took full responsibility as a producer from start to finish. He periodically helped other artists with one-off productions.
Therefore, the economic value generated through him was astronomical, and the four major global record companies other than ZET International were desperate to capture Jung Woo-dam.
Choi Bom told these anecdotes.
“But the producer said he was not greedy for down payment and renewed his contract with MNS.”
“nice! loyalty!”
“It may be a sense of loyalty, but the CEO’s lifelong wish was to discover geniuses, conduct world tours, and hold joint concerts, so after he had achieved everything he wanted to achieve, he handed over all of his shares to the producer.”
“nice! calculate!”
And Choi Bom played the next video.
[Chun Chun, I pick up my gun again today. To protect my country and my people.]
[Bang, bang, the muzzle is on fire.]
Choi Jeong-woo could not believe his eyes and ears.
“… … What is this? who is this? “I don’t know who the robber is because he’s wearing a mask.”
“Oh, I played it wrong. “Before my enlistment, senior Liu asked me if he wanted to form a project group with the producer, so we went on a rap survival show as a hip-hop duo.”
“First time hearing this.”
“Because it was reviewed because of the lyrics about wearing a mask and holding a gun, so it wasn’t aired.”
This is an unaired episode.
MNS felt it would be a waste to dispose of it, so they received it from the production team and kept it.
Moreover, even though Jung Woo-dam appeared as a singing rap participant with his face covered, the judges recognized him only by his voice and refused to judge him.
I felt burdened because the person I had to review was there.
‘The MNS multimedia archive is like Uncle Woodam’s biography.’
Choi Jeong-woo’s respect for Jung Woo-dam grew even more as the unaired episode was not available to others.
“What we’re going to see this time is the MNS joint con, and the group song the producer produced by finding references that would fit well with the choir song is excellent.”
“What were the references?”
“It’s been so long that I don’t even remember anything. All I know is that one was MR. BIG’s Wild World.”
“Dugu dugu.”
“That’s a sound effect that B.A.B. often used.”
Choi Bom forgot Choi Jun-seop’s request.
I was busy watching Jung Woo-dam’s past videos.
At a joint concert, I was embarrassed to see myself before my cheek fat started to disappear.
[There is an invisible world. We all live there too.]
[Flowers, birds, trees. A powerful life. My heart is filled with grain.]
Moreover, when listening to the lyrics that Seo Ji-an and Shin Kim Choi wrote together, MNS artists end up feeling unfamiliar even if they sing them hard.
“Sister, you were cute this time.”
In response to Choi Jeong-woo’s remarks, Choi Bom tapped her earrings twice and placed her hand in the air.
It’s a phone call.
[Director Choi Jun-seop]
Tooruru. Tooruru.
-hello?
“Director, this Shiki is being so picky. Can I hit him?”
-Hit only at 80% power.
“Preload.”
As soon as permission was given, I punched Choi Jeong-woo in the head.
puck!
“Aaaah!”
“cute? You wanna die?”
“I call it cute because it’s cute!”
Whether Choi Jeong-woo struggled or not, Choi Bom continued the call.
“Where are you?”
-I’m on my way to a stopover.
“A stopover? “You can just take a direct flight.”
-Hehe, I’m going to meet Woodam and go in.
Choi Bom tried hard to suppress the cheers that were about to burst out.
“All right. come carefully.”
-Yeah~
I shouted only after I hung up the phone.
“at las!”
“What?”
Choi Bom quickly reported the news to her sisters.
First, to leader Shin Chae-yoon, who became a fairy tale writer.
“sister! “The producer is coming!”
-I’ve been up all night for several days… … .
“You’re still going to come, right?”
-of course.
Next, I bet on Kim Da-bin, who is filming a movie as a beautiful spy.
-I’m not going.
“okay. Do not come. “Just come.”
-It’s a joke~! What should I wear? I’m shaking, what should I do? How many years have you been coming?
“Not for a few years. 3 months?”
Shin Kim Choi did not disperse after the end of his 7-year contract.
We are just reducing the group activity cycle to once every few years and focusing more on individual activities.
We were more like family than family, so I couldn’t imagine splitting up.
Also, the producer is still Jung Woo-dam.
Naturally, it felt like a festival.
Looking at Choi Bom’s excitement, Choi Jeong-woo let out a few words.
“How long does it take to watch all the videos?”
“2 hours if you don’t fuss.”
“I need to mess around~ Stay longer with my sister.”
“You’re the type of person who gets spanked, huh?”
Even though I said that, I didn’t hit him.
Because I wasted all my time, I shouldn’t go to meet Jung Woo-dam while I’m tired.
Bom Choi alternately showed clippings of articles and videos to Jeongwoo Choi.

“This is the beginning of the producer’s unique scratching singing style that has started to spread into a trend.”
“Yes… … .”
No matter how much it was a video of Jung Woo-dam, whom Choi admired, Choi Jeong-woo lost his soul because he was held captive and unable to go to the bathroom.
* * *
An island in Arctic Norway.
Fittingly with Jung Woo-dam’s favorite phrase, the Polar Ecosystem Research Foundation has become a multinational non-profit corporation.
The resource circulation campaign is also successful.
Companies conscious of Jung Woo-dam’s global fandom rushed to replace their products with ECO.
And the Korean director of the Polar Ecosystem Research Foundation visited Jung Woo-dam before leaving.
“Are you feeding me?”
“The other kids are good at hunting on their own, but the gluttonous Duwoong is lazy.”
“Mr. Woodam, we will take good care of you until your next visit.”
Did Jung Woo-dam’s efforts work?
The population of polar bears is increasing every year.
So I decided to call it the name Jung Woo-dam gave it.
-Quang.
Even though he was a very aggressive dog, he recognized Jung Woo-dam and walked slowly across the snow-covered terrain.
2 Woong is not the only one like this.
The other polar bears followed Jung Woo-dam unbelievably well.
“I wish you were there a little longer.”
“I have to make money. “For the bears and my family.”
Jung Woo-dam, who only thought about the environment, now has more things to protect.
The director followed Woodam to the airport and saw him off.
“When are you coming next time?”
My daughter Marie, who comes with me every year, stretches out her gloved fingers.
“500 years.”
“In five months.”
Jeong Woo-dam corrected Marie’s words.
Soon, Jung Woo-dam boarded a plane with his daughter.
The polar bears, who did not know what they were doing or where the runway was, started running in the direction of the plane.
The director also waved his hand.
“Bulgogi when you come!”
