The Birth of the Monstrous Singer-Songwriter - Chapter 253

#253. Singer Jeong Woo-dam

There is still a large daily temperature difference, so it is chilly in the evening.

However, no matter which store you go to, Mad CS prefers outdoor seating that can be seen by passers-by, so they set up a table outside today as well.

And while sipping cold beer, the members showed off their bravado.

“Ha, it’s not cold at all!”

“How can I catch anything more than a cold?”

Mad CS confesses without even asking if it’s cold.

The manager didn’t ask them to go inside because he thought there were no kids as consistent as these guys.

Moreover, if it were like other groups, they would have become independent from their dormitory a long time ago, but they still live in the dormitory with their manager.

During the Hub Power era, MNS moved me to a good place, and I have been living there ever since.

‘Like Ji Bakryeong.’

Or, as they say, people live on memories, and they may not want to leave a place where they had good times.

Herb Power was active for exactly 4 years.

‘It’s been 4 years, but looking at the amount of activity, it’s no exaggeration to say it’s been 10 years.’

Since DJs do not have separate comeback music broadcasts, there was no need to keep the comeback cycle, so Jung Woo-dam just pulled out songs without any hesitation.

Jung Woo-dam has quick hands, but since remixing is a part of the culture, he interacted a lot with other DJs.

‘Thanks to this, the ransom price became strange.’

Herb Power quickly became a headliner at large festivals and was allocated an hour of performance time, and received hundreds of millions of guarantees.

There were quite a few times when it exceeded 1 billion won by sharing it with ticket profits, and solo concerts were also held at home and abroad.

Herb Power was probably the activity that brought Jung Woo-dam the greatest profits in a short period of time.

The profits would have been much greater from his world tour, but the duration was also longer.

That’s how much money the electronic music scene made, and still makes money. Still, a significant portion of Mad CS’s sales come from Hub Power copyrights.

But why did the ransom price become strange?

‘The two alone are less than 1/10th of the hub power pay.’

It seems that Jung Woo-dam also had a lot of concerns.

So I tried to help Mad CS produce their follow-up album, but they refused.

‘First of all, they are also singer-songwriters.’

It was surprising even to the manager.

Whenever Jung Woo-dam wanted to do something, he wanted to join in, but he wanted the two of them to do the Mad CS album.

To be precise, it had to be an album that would be recognized by Jung Woo-dam, so I didn’t receive any help.

‘Currently ongoing.’

Jung Woo-dam always praises new songs, saying, “Is it good?”, but Mad CS knows.

It is a high praise only when the words “You are killing me?” come out of Jung Woo-dam’s mouth.

‘When it’s actually released, the results will tell.’

Although we have been ranked first frequently, we have never ranked first monthly or yearly.

At that time, the women who discovered Mad CS approached.

I can see that they are slightly drunk, probably because they just finished the first round.

The girls only looked surprised and didn’t say anything, so Mad CS spoke first.

“Isn’t it amazing to see a star? “Can you sign it?”

“Where is Jung Woo-dam?”

“Jung Woo-dam? “Is our boss your friend?!”

“W-what is it?”

The women ran away.

Although Jung Woo-dam is not the general manager of MNS Entertainment, he has become the CEO of the production division.

That’s why Mad CS, who used to call me director, is now calling me president.

To avoid confusion about the title, I decided to call the CEO of Opal Entertainment, my agency, “Brother.”

Although he is about the same age as my father.

Moreover, Jung Woo-dam did not want to take on the CEO role of the production division because he felt burdened, but the CEO persistently persuaded him to incorporate Seeth into MNS and merge with the PG team.

As an excuse to hand over all the shares to him.

As for the shares, Jung Woo-dam felt burdened because he had exceeded the appropriate amount, and the MNS CEO asked him to find someone to pass on the shares as he did.

There is no need to hand over everything, just enough so that the legacy of MNS can be maintained in the future.

‘For some reason, I think it might be Marie.’

The child’s growth became the biggest concern for both the manager and the public.

When Marie was remembered, the manager reiterated the complaints he always expressed to Mad CS.

“Stop making unnecessary arguments with citizens.”

“What kind of dispute is this? “I was telling the truth.”

“Anyway, huh? Please let me get out of the dorm so that I can get married and raise my second generation. “How long do I have to live with you guys?”

“Brother’s lover can come in and live there too, right?”

“Hey, make sense.”

“why? We’ll use a small room. “Use all the remaining space.”

“Aren’t these idiots?”

There was only one condition that Mad CS put forward when renewing the contract. I will continue to stay in the dorm with the manager who has become the head of the department.

That’s why the manager can’t leave the dorm.

I could resign, but I don’t want to, so it’s frustrating.

But did the manager’s earnestness finally work?

Mad CS found an agreement.

“okay. “If you find a manager who takes care of us as well as you, I’ll let you go in a cool way.”

“If you are a cool guy, send them away right away. And even if I appoint a new person, they always say they don’t like it, right?”

“No, because all the new recruits are today’s kids.”

“What is that?”

Mad CS gave a difficult reason.

“Kids these days are bold. “Just do what you have to do.”

“Of course you should do it! Are you looking for slaves? Do you want to be forced into retirement? “Honestly, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet.”

A manager who pours out rapid fire.

At the same time, Matthew, who is in charge of Mad CS, covered his ears.

“Shh.”

“What? “Do my words sound like nagging now?”

“That’s not it, I came.”

“who?”

The person didn’t come, but the inspiration came because of the manager’s nagging.

First, Matthew hums.

“From 1 to 10.”

Sebastian, who is in charge of CS, will take over.

“Let’s count the numbers~.”

“It came out.”

The manager was dumbfounded.

“What comes out?”

“It’s just a word, so I’m sure the boss will kill me if I complete this.”

“Physically?”

Soon, Mad CS finished the remaining drink and stood up.

“good. Let’s move on now. “To a hotel near the airport.”

“now? “Then you shouldn’t have asked me out for a drink.”

“You can just take a taxi.”

ha. The manager sighed and immediately made a hotel reservation and called a taxi.

I was planning on leaving early tomorrow morning anyway.

If you go on time, there will be a huge traffic jam.

How do we know when Jung Woo-dam returns home, because people flock to the airport every time.

And when they arrived at the hotel, while the manager was filling out the check-in documents, Mad CS took a picture and posted it on social media.

@SNS_madcs

-The boss said he would arrive at 8 o’clock tomorrow, so I came to a nearby hotel in advance! I booked a suite haha ​​aren’t you jealous?!

* * *

next day.

A man with a bushy beard walks out through the immigration gate.

Mad CS, buried in the crowd, waves his hand.

“president!”

“Come over here!”

Then, behind the bushy-bearded tourist, Jung Woo-dam came out of the group holding his daughter and waved in the same way.

Next to him was Choi Jun-seop, who looked even stronger.

Choi Jun-seop answers like an agent.

“If we go there, I think we’ll be buried too.”

no. It’s no use worrying.

Wherever Jeong Woo-dam passes by, the crowds spread as if the sea road has opened.

After becoming a father, he seems friendlier than before, and his expression is gentle, but it seems like charisma is radiating from his whole body.

From the beginning, fans were satisfied with just seeing him.

It was a group of singers and fans who had good manners towards each other.

“Apaming!”

“Mari~!”

My daughter Marie is very shy and does not react.

I just look blankly at the people who call me.

However, even there is no fairy, so shutter sounds come out all over the place.

Click click!

It wasn’t like I went overseas because of my schedule, but it was after all the entertainment reporters came.

“Mr. Woodam! What is your schedule afterward?”

Jung Woo-dam put serious thought into even a light interview and gave the information.

“I plan to go home and eat.”

“okay? By the way, Marie will be an elementary school student next year, right?”

“That is highly likely.”

“What are the odds of not? “Will you be participating in the domestic junior competition starting next year?”

Even though both of her parents were singers, Marie was known to be a piano prodigy, so the question was asked in anticipation of an international course, starting in Korea where participants could participate from the age of 8, followed by the Van Cliburn Competition at age 13 and the Chopin Junior Competition at age 17.

Jung Woo-dam shook Marie’s hand instead.

This time, Marie also opened her mouth.

“I don’t know about competitions.”

“I guess it’s a video of a concert that Marie usually watches?”

“I don’t know.”

“Yes. okay.”

If the junior competition is the goal, there is no way she wouldn’t have heard of it even at the age of 7, so it seems that Jung Woo-dam and his wife did not include pianist in their daughter’s life plans.

It was a decision that made the reporter even more precious.

To that extent, the public’s interest in Marie was so great that it made one wonder if something like this had ever happened even to the child of a star couple.

Of course, everyone was also interested in how far Jung Woo-dam would go and whether there would be any further places for him to go.

Even if, like Seo Ji-an, he hasn’t had a solo career for the past 5 years, the Bandal Band is continuing his career.

However, since the identity of the Bandal Band is Jung Woo-dam, the spotlight is even more focused on him.

‘I received every trophy that a pop musician can receive, and I was also listed in all of the halls of fame that remain as a lifelong honor for a pop musician.’

Even if he retires at any time, saying he has no regrets left, everyone will agree that Jung Woo-dam deserves it.

Although there will be some regret.

Still, reporters did not ask him to not quit music or ask him when he planned to retire.

‘I’m afraid the words will become seeds.’

Therefore, he inadvertently opened a way for Jeong Woo-dam and his group to escape.

Jung Woo-dam smiled kindly and left to find the exit where the van was waiting.

And in front of the van, Jung Woo-dam asked Mad CS.

“shall we go together?”

“Hey, you should eat privately with your sister-in-law.”

“So you just came to see my face?”

“I have one thing to tell you.”

Mad CS quickly tapped Mari’s palms and expressed his aspirations.

“I’m coming with a demo that will soon be said to kill itself.”

“oh.”

It was a very short reunion considering we had been here the day before. Really, just seeing Jung Woo-dam was enough.

He will be my eternal motivator.

Mad CS turned around in style.

“Etchiya!”

Yesterday, while trying to get in shape, I caught a cold.

The manager sighed and decided to take them to the hospital. Before that, I also expressed my concerns.

“Marie, aren’t you catching a cold?”

“Marie doesn’t catch a cold. “Because it’s strong.”

“You shouldn’t be at ease. “Be sure to go to the hospital.”

Woodam nodded, saying he understood.

After seeing them leaving in a taxi, I got into the van.

Then, a greeting from a three-member group that harmonizes well is heard.

“hello!”

It was B by B.

“uh? “What did you come to do?”

“I came to urge you. When are we making a comeback?”

Choi Bom is doing well as a solo artist, but she still misses group activities, which she hasn’t done in a while.

Jung Woo-dam’s members stared at her request.

“I think Chae-yoon needs to get ready first, right?”

“One month is enough.”

Rather than feeling like I needed to diet, I felt like I needed to build up my stamina.

Shin Chae-yoon used to take good care of herself, but after debuting as a children’s book author, she looked pale and lethargic, as if she would faint at the slightest touch.

“It’s because I don’t get to see sunlight often.”

When Kim Da-bin, who has now taken more pictures than Jung Woo-dam, pulled back the curtains in the van, Shin Chae-yoon frowned like a vampire.

“You just need to get an IV gel. Marie, would you like to see your aunt’s new picture book?”

“huh.”

The van carrying them then moved to the MNS headquarters.

Jung Woo-dam took care of the fan letters and gifts that came while he was away in Korea, and B by B had to relax his neck.

Woodam said to them.

“I put it on the server, so take your pick.”

“How many songs have you written this time?”

“I have to take care of Marie, so I can only write 45 letters to and from Siss, and 10 exclusively.”

“… … 55?”

The members thought that the day when Jung Woo-dam’s fountain of creativity would dry up would never come.

So I said goodbye to the three of us and made an appointment with Choi Jun-seop.

“I have to go report to the CEO for an overseas meeting. When should I see you?”

“Any time.”

Woodam was noisy as soon as he returned home, so he couldn’t get used to the quiet van.

Still, a voice like a melody that is nice to hear again welcomes you. He had returned home.

“mom.”

“Our Mari~.”

Marie clung to her mother’s leg, and Jung Woo-dam hugged her in the Western way of welcoming her, then moved the pile of fan letters and gifts to an underground studio as big as a bunker.

“Marie, will you help Dad? Mom, I’ll even cook. “She likes Marie’s kimchi fried rice.”

Mari, who was following Udam, looked very happy.

A harmonious family that looks like something out of a painting.

In addition, there was a lush garden that looked like a painting inside a wooden bag the size of a king-size bed in the basement studio.

-Had doo hot doo.

Rather than helping Woodam carry his luggage, Mari was more interested in looking inside.

“Samwoong picked something up again.”

“Is it Marie?”

“Is it mine? 5-Woong Junior rides a hot air balloon alone.”

“Child, in danger.”

The son of 5-Woong, an engineering student, is very curious, just like his father.

-Baa bap!

Eat-and-run 2woong announced meal time for the large family.

The bears who succeeded in investing in real estate even bought the Gomsuni’s neighborhood and roamed the entire village, and the second generation also became tree keepers.

“101? Another one increased. “My father has 80 trees, and mine has 7 trees.”

“The Mari tree has also increased?”

Woodam didn’t know either. I had no idea that her daughter would also be able to see the inside of the wooden bag. I never thought there would be a separate garden just for Marie.

Anyone can see the wooden bag, but only Woodam can see the inside.

My wife didn’t know why she needed such a large wooden bag, but she kept it carefully because Woodam loved it so much.

Udam recalled the background that led to this.

‘Create a new instrument that has never existed in the world. ‘Term: 10 years.’

He developed a variety of instruments with Lim Cheong-wol.

Although both suffered hardships, Lin Qingyue did not even consider it hardship.

He did not start a family, saying he preferred to be alone, but he enjoyed the time he spent making Udam and musical instruments.

Nevertheless, the level of the instrument production tree only increased, and the missions continued to not be cleared.

Then one day.

‘It cleared up on its own after Marie was born.’

I laughed.

The human voice is an instrument that has existed since before humans developed musical instruments.

In other words, a new instrument that has never existed in the world is new life.

‘heir.’

Udam again crossed his fingers with his daughter.

“Watching Woong is a secret only between me and my dad.”

“Marie’s mouth is heavy.”

Sometimes it becomes difficult when large instruments come out, but fortunately, there is a unique, all-purpose repair tool, so you can disassemble it in the studio and take it to the session practice room to fix it.

Just then a phone call comes in.

When Park Chan-hee met with Choi Jun-seop, she received a call asking her to meet with him, and the subsequent call was.

-Hey, there was a rumor all over the world that you came to Korea.

“How are you?”

-Jung Woo-dam, we wrote our next song. Please listen to it.

“okay. “Send me.”

Seo Ji-an immediately sent the file.

After finishing watching, Jung Woo-dam pressed the call button.

“Killing me?”

-right? When will it come back? You just have to find time.

Jung Woo-dam looked at the calendar.

It was time to go from husband and father to singer Jung Woo-dam.

-Wan-
