Chapter 172 – #23. Schedule Schedule Schedule (6)
“Busking? Busking!” Begins after arriving overseas.
The time to join the production team was also at the airport, so we had to go outside the airport and join the production team.
Kyaaaaah-!!!!!!!!!!
Air!!! Plain!!!! Aishiteru!!!!!!!
“Wow, look at that. You can hear everything from here.”
“Crazy. Were we like this?”
“Is this an airport flex!”
“Are those sounds all our fans right now? Isn’t it because there are other celebrities?”
But we couldn’t join the production team right away.
This is because overseas fans came out to the airport to greet us.
To be honest, I didn’t even imagine that something like this would happen because I didn’t know how many fans there were overseas.
Since we weren’t active, we naturally thought that fewer people would know us.
“Will you have to work hard to get out?”
It was a huge crowd.
It’s not that the number of people is small, so there must be one or two things to pay attention to to break through the crowd.
If the airport hadn’t dispatched security officers in an unexpected frenzy, I wouldn’t have even prepared to escape.
“How did you decide to join the production team?”
“I thought it would be too much at the airport, so we decided to meet at the hotel.”
It took three hours to go to the hotel through the crowds gathered at the airport to go to the changed filming location.
“Busking? Busking!」 It was embarrassing to both the production team and us.
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
“Forgive me for being late!”
“Sorry!!”
When we joined the production team at the hotel, we bowed our heads and apologized.
“It’s okay, I wasn’t late on purpose, I was late because there were too many fans. Everyone understands. Thanks to that, I also took a good picture. But I don’t know if I can shoot like this.”
“Uh… Is there a problem?”
“I think airplane awareness is no joke more than I thought. If I say busking, I think a lot of fans will flock to it.”
“Ah!”
“I was going to do some publicity on social media, but I don’t think it’s necessary. The public relations process is also a part of the program, but it is difficult because that part has been blown away.”
There was a fan who followed me from the airport to the hotel.
In this situation, do you promote busking on social media?
‘It’s a shortcut to ruining the broadcast.’
The problem didn’t go away without publicity.
“Manager, did Airplane originally have many fans in this country?”
“They didn’t even have enough recognition to even create a fan cafe. It seemed to have gotten bigger lately, but I never imagined that something like this would happen.”
Popularity that even the agency does not know.
I’m not a goblin, I don’t know where the fans come from.
At that time, the staff writer opened his mouth.
“Probably because of the masked singer. Masked Singer is a very popular program in Yunfuo. I must have bought the rights to Mask Singer. It hasn’t started airing yet, but I heard it will be in a few months.”
“Ah, then?”
“The sudden increase in popularity was because of Mr. Hae-sol from Mask Singer.”
“If you’re a masked singer, you’ll understand.”
How crazy was the Masked Singer in Korea?
There was no one who did not know the white-haired prince on a black horse.
I think I was able to become more famous because my identity was not revealed in the beginning.
It’s because people get frustrated when their questions are not answered.
“Now what? Still, you have to film it.”
“We have to find a way. Either wearing a mask and busking, or wearing a mask and busking.”
At PD-nim’s words, the writers’ expressions became complicated.
I’m the one who has to come up with ideas, so I have to do that.
Because of the fans trying to storm into the hotel, the crew and cast had no choice but to go up to the rooms.
“I’m sorry, senior.”
“Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay. This can be happen.”
“I envy you, I envy you. It’s a popularity I won’t be able to achieve even in my lifetime.”
Since we were recruited as singers, most of the other cast members are musicians who know how to play musical instruments.
Busking usually? Busking! Can be said to be an unusual event to broadcast with 2-3 singers and performers.
After hearing the story, I was trying to recruit me, but the manager noona used magic to make all of our members appear.
It is calculated that by appearing on this program, he will be able to maintain domestic recognition, which he will have to vacate for a while.
Perhaps it was because they were musicians, not singers, rather than keeping us in check, they treated us with curious eyes like normal people who had seen celebrities.
Moreover, most of the performers were in their 40s, so there was no one who said harsh things to us, young children.
Thanks to the willing understanding of the production team and the cast, we were able to settle for a late meal at the hotel.
“Wow~ delicious.”
This country has developed a lot of seafood dishes as an island country, and thanks to that, the seafood dishes provided at the hotel restaurant were very delicious.
First of all, the seafood itself was so fresh and tasty that no matter how it was cooked, more than half of it was eaten before going in.
“Drink up!”
Gi Woo-yeon raised his thumb as he put a handful of food into his mouth and chewed it.
We started eating excitedly when we were told not to worry about dieting but to eat first.
As my stomach slowly started to fill up, I raised my head to worry about the filming.
“Nuna, didn’t the production team contact you?”
“Uh~ The meeting is getting long.”
“How is it outside?”
While we were eating, my sister couldn’t eat properly and went in and out of the restaurant.
Even though I was told to just sit down and eat, I just replied that I would understand and continued to eat and drink.
“Fortunately, the hotel thoroughly blocked it, so most of them went back, but it seems that there are a few fans who persistently entered the hotel even after staying overnight. I think the person sitting at the table to your left over there is a fan of yours. I’ve been filming secretly since before.”
“Omg!”
“Don’t look! Don’t give me a photo shoot.”
“Why didn’t you tell me? We just ate it without knowing that!”
“I did it so that I wouldn’t get a pretty picture. Would you guys just take a picture and share it with each other? Don’t sell it.”
“Oh~! What is that deep meaning?”
“Then don’t even look at me that way. Got it?”
“Yes!”
Our manager noona said that our original plan would change a lot due to our unexpected popularity.
“I don’t think I can even do a mini concert. If only 100 people were accepted, there would probably be a fuss with complaints.”
Even if you count the number of people gathered at the airport today, it would easily exceed 100.
But only 100 people receive a concert?
It was a no-brainer.
The manager noona’s words made the members and I excited.
“Then do we make our concert bigger?”
“Huh. Right now, the company is looking into whether it can be rented elsewhere.”
“Wow!!!”
“Oh yea!”
“Oh yeah!”
Everyone has high expectations for the concert.
There’s just one thing that’s going on.
“But if it’s not a mini concert, we’re going to do a proper concert, wouldn’t domestic fans be sad? We haven’t had a concert in Korea yet.”
“Uh?”
“Omg! Do you really think so?!”
“My lady, there was that again. Shit! I didn’t think of it. It could have been a big deal.”
The first concert should be with domestic fans.
If we had our first meaningful concert abroad, domestic fans would go wild.
“Don’t use the word concert, how about making it a fan meeting?”
“That’s around 100 people after all. I liked it because I thought I could call at least 3,000 people…”
“Four, three thousand? Isn’t that too much?”
“You guys are at that level, now.”
“It’s a shame, blindfolded, but why don’t you use the word ‘concert’ instead of using it as a fan meeting and rent the venue and decorate it like a concert?”
“Is the number of people 3,000?”
“Yes. We’ve had several fan meetings. So, if I say it’s a fan meeting, I wouldn’t mind too much.”
It is also known as Operation Ah Different, Uh Different.
It’s definitely a concert, but the name is a fan meeting anyway.
“… There’s no point in saying no in the current situation. Thank you for giving your opinion. I’ll look for a more method, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll do what you said.”
“Yes.”
Manager noona said when it looked like most of the members had eaten.
“Have you eaten? Then let’s join the set.”
“Yeah~”
“How did you decide to shoot?”
“I have to go and listen.”
We arrived at the place where the crew gathered and rested.
“Wow, the hotel has a place like this.”
“I borrowed it urgently.”
The space is large enough to accommodate all the production crew and camera equipment.
It seemed that the hotel had rented an unused banquet room.
“As a result of the meeting, it was concluded that busking in the downtown area is dangerous. So I decided to find a special place.”
“A special place?”
“It’s rural.”
“Oh~!”
Apparently, there are not many people in the countryside, and very few people know us.
“Because a place is a place, most of them are probably in their 50s or older. What I ask you to do is to prepare songs that are popular enough to be enjoyed even by people of a higher age group.”
“Ah… Then you can’t sing our song?”
Jackie asked with an expression of regret.
What is the purpose of coming to this country?
Isn’t it to promote the group?
However, when they said that they couldn’t sing our songs on the program they appeared on, I couldn’t help but feel bad.
“No, I didn’t mean that. Of course you should. It was just that I wanted you to make other songs that the older age group could enjoy.”
“Then it’s safe. Coincidentally, we prepared famous songs that are famous in this country. I wonder if you would like it if I called it.”
“Is that so? Good for you! I’m going to film a song selection meeting. All the cast members, please gather!!”
When PD-nim heard Jeki’s words, his face turned bright, and he quickly set up the shooting angle.
After many twists and turns, the first filming finally began.
♧♧♧
“Kyaaaaa! How much is this!”
Airplane fans sat at the TV, suppressing their beating hearts, staring at the commercials.
This is because a program that cannot be missed even for a minute or a second is about to start.
It has been two months since Airplane entered the overseas market.
Currently, Airplane successfully wraps up activities in Yunfuo and moves to Zhao to spread the group’s name.
Domestic fans have been waiting impatiently for some time to finish their overseas activities and return to Korea.
One day, good news came to them.
“Busking? Busking!” Was the news that Airplane would appear.
It was a dream-like news for her, who was looking back over and over again for the content she had already consumed, missing them.
‘Haha, haha! I’m going crazy!’
I felt joy at the news that I was successfully doing overseas activities, but my longing also increased as time passed. Busking? Busking! Thanks to you, I was able to soothe my longing.
Just like the hearts of girl fans who were excited with anticipation, the group chat room for fans of airplanes was also in a frenzy.
It would have been nice if we met in person offline and saw each other, but it was a pity that we couldn’t.
Unfortunately, the girl was underage, busking? Busking! Aired at 10pm, so it was impossible to meet offline and watch the show together.
‘If we had seen it together, we would have been able to share this joy!’
A few minutes to wait like that.
Finally, after the advertisement ends, it goes dark for a while, and then a familiar logo appears on the screen.
And the long-awaited busking? Busking! Has finally begun.
