Chapter 173 – #23. Schedule Schedule Schedule (7)
The first scene was an airport.
It’s also a very crowded airport!
Surprisingly, the people gathered at the airport were waiting for the airplane.
Cameras capture the image of girl fans welcoming the country, along with the astonished producers’ loud captions.
There were placards all over the place, so it was clear that their purpose was to welcome airplanes.
The screen that showed the airport crowd all the time changed, and individual interviews with the cast members appeared.
– What did you think when you saw the airport?
“Of course I was surprised. Are all these people fans who came to see them? There was nothing but admiration. At the time, I didn’t know anything about them. I just thought it was a popular rookie male idol group.”
“I heard that you are very good. It is a group with a singer who succeeded in winning 5 crowns in a certain broadcasting program.”
– How was it when you saw the fans flocking to you at the airport?
Namgyu: I was surprised. I didn’t know we had so many fans.
Kyungtae Kang: Thank you very much. I’m also a little shocked.
Jin Hae-sol: I didn’t do anything great enough to receive undeserved love. Besides, we are foreign singers. I think it made me think a lot.
-What was your impression when you first met Airplane?
“When I met them, it was after I found out what kind of friends they were. I looked at the crowds at the airport and searched for them on my cell phone.”
“When I saw it in the picture, I thought he was handsome, but when I saw him in real life, he was amazing. Haesol in particular was amazing.”
“I hear that friend is also famous for being handsome? The camera couldn’t capture the real thing.”
“Did it shine brightly? Ugh~ If only I was 20 years younger… Ha ha, just kidding.”
-What was your impression when you first met the cast?
Jun Kang: I was surprised to hear so many of them. I wanted to get an autograph, but I couldn’t get one because I was shy at first, and when the filming was over, I secretly went and got an autograph. I also took pictures.
Zeki: For people who do music, they are hard to approach. It was such an honor to get to know them while filming.”
Ki Woo-yeon: I got all of them numbers! I decided to call you brother! Actually, the seniors are the same age as my mom. So I think I did a lot of aegyo. Reminds me of my mother
– I tried to match my breathing, but did it fit well with each other?
“It seemed to me that I could never ignore them because they were young. His skills were amazing.”
“How can everyone be so good! It was so unique.”
“I think it was comfortable to have a meeting because he actively gave his opinion. I don’t like it because I don’t say anything throughout the meeting, but I’m stuck inside and I’m uncomfortable with that style. All of them were cool and it was very comfortable to talk to them.”
– How is your breathing with the cast?
Jin Hae-sol: At first, I noticed a lot. What if I make a mistake? I can’t disappoint you… They had very high expectations for us.
Ki Woo-yeon: You must have known we were nervous! He was very kind and relaxed, so I was able to fit it without any problems.
Zeki: As if we had been together for a long time, our breathing matched well. It is thanks to our seniors for taking care of us.
-How do you feel after finishing the busking stage?
Nam Gyu: I thought we had an unforgettable stage.”
Kyungtae Kang: I really enjoyed it. The schedule changed due to an unexpected event, but it seemed that the event gave us a good experience.
The screen goes dark and then brightens again.
〈 hotel conference room 〉
[Busking in the downtown area is not possible due to safety issues due to crowds of fans!]
[Measures must be taken!]
“What should I do?”
“You can’t change the country you’re busking in, so you have to change the location.”
[Doo-dung!]
[Location change decision!]
“Yes? Go there and do some busking? Isn’t that the countryside?”
[The cast members are astonished after receiving the location!]
Mmmm~!
A cow cry is heard.
A panoramic view of the green countryside is illuminated.
The busking members got down on the dirt floor in the countryside!
“…”
“…”
The faces of the cast were not good.
All of them were dumbfounded, as if they had been scammed.
“Ahhhhh~”
There were even cast members who were less awake.
“Uh, what time is it?”
“It’s 9 o’clock.”
“Whoa, did it take 4 hours?!”
It took 4 hours just to get here!
It was a place where it was unlikely to be able to busk because there were few people.
“It’s similar to our country’s countryside.”
“It looks like there are no people here. Am I mistaken?”
– It’s not an illusion. The town is a rural town with a population of only 80,000. It is an area where one-third of the population is over the age of 60 due to an aging population.
“Eight thousand? Is it less? I don’t know anything about population numbers.”
“Little is right. What’s more, you said you’re aging. This means that the population will not increase.”
-You’re right. According to an investigation, if left alone, the village will soon disappear completely. That’s why the government built many hotels to make this village a tourist city. The natural scenery is good and there are many things to see.
“Looks like the buildings over there are hotels built by the government. You can see it from afar.”
“But don’t you think there are as many people as you said?”
– Well pointed out. The hotel is almost built, but it is said that the promotion is not done properly. So this time, we plan to busking for tourists here and help promote them.
The purpose itself wasn’t bad.
No, it seems amazing that such a plan was conceived in such a short time.
“First of all, let’s sleep in a hotel for a day and start busking in earnest from the next day.”
It was late, so it was unreasonable to busking right away, so I got back in the car and moved to the hotel.
Next day.
The production team informed us of the first busking location.
“Yes? A town hall?”
-Now the elders are gathering at the town hall to see your busking.
“Where is the town hall?”
– I’ll write down the location.
[The cast arrives at the town hall.]
A rural view is revealed even a little away from the place developed to attract tourists.
The location of the town hall was, of course, located in a rural village.
And I see the elderly walking with canes toward the village hall.
“And.”
“There are countrysides in foreign countries too.”
“The countryside in this country feels like this.”
“Something puts me at ease.”
“The air is really good.”
“… But will they enjoy listening to our songs?”
“Your age is too high than I thought.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to change the song list a bit?”
The cast members entered an emergency meeting.
Meanwhile, elderly people snooping on the news that young foreign musicians have come to the village.
The camera is pointed at such elderly people.
“I came because young people sang at the village hall today.”
“Looking at that, there are pretty young people gathered.”
“I heard you’re a foreigner, right?”
“Evidence? I don’t know about foreign songs! What?”
Elderly people who are interested in foreign youth, but not interested in foreign songs.
The hardened faces of the Airplane members appear.
“The village elders don’t know anything about foreign songs?”
“Ah…”
Depressed airplane.
However, the cast members protest against such an airplane.
“Why are you scaring the kids? You guys, don’t worry unnecessarily.”
“What if I’m in a bad mood?”
“Are you really not confident after showing that side of yourself in the practice room?”
“Hey, can’t you just look at it? You’re being sarcastic.”
“Ah, is that so?”
“You can’t be arrogant in front of us, so you’re arrogant. You can see it at a glance.”
Contrary to Airplane, which worries a lot, the cast members are relaxed.
That’s because the cast members have heard it firsthand.
They sincerely put their tongue out on the skills of the Airplane members.
A few hours ago, inside the practice room that the production team hastily prepared.
“Wow, what are you?”
The song that the 6 of us sang together ended.
All the cast members were shocked and looked at the Airplane members strangely.
“Are you okay?”
“Is it okay? Wow~ Kids these days are scary.”
“Is this the trending skill these days?”
“Why are you guys doing so well?”
“Haesol is the singer who won 5 crowns, right? Not all of them are singers.”
The members of Airplane shyly twist their bodies at the compliments pouring in from the cast.
Not only the cast but also the production team gave thumbs up to the fantastic stage they showed.
It is a production team that has very strict standards for one piece of music.
This program is 100% live, so people with insufficient skills are reluctant to appear on the show itself, and the production team does not even contact them.
“I’m making a fuss, but I really can’t help it.”
“Did the production team recruit them for no reason? I called it because I became good at it.”
In the first place, the motto of the program is busking, which does not rely on popularity, and competes with singing skills.
Why would they go abroad to busking after hiring the best singers in Korea?
It was because even the top singers abroad did not receive the help of recognition.
It is a program with the ambition to captivate people with only skills in a country where there is no recognition.
In addition to that, a little gukppong production goes in like seasoning.
‘Busking? Busking!’ Was able to maintain high ratings through word of mouth.
The screen returns to the present.
-If you go to the village hall now, the village elders will all be gathered there. To see your busking stage.
The number of people gathered at the town hall was larger than expected.
They were pure residents of this village, not tourists.
“Is everyone ready?”
“””Yes!!”””
Everyone in the cast moves to the place prepared for busking.
There is no normal stage at the town hall.
Busking was done on the street anyway, so there was no problem.
Kang Kyung-tae, who had learned the language, took the microphone and briefly introduced the names of the members of Airplane and the cast to the village elders.
He ends his greetings by saying that he is a person who does something, that he came here because he wanted to sing for you today, and that he hopes it will become a good memory.
And finally, their performance begins.
♧ ♧ ♧
“Everyone said, ‘Busking? Busking!’ Did you know it aired yesterday?”
“Did that air yesterday?”
“How is your reaction?”
“I think I worked really hard on it.”
“I want to go back to that village!! The food prepared by the elderly was very delicious.”
Busking? Busking! More than a month has passed since the filming was over.
We were currently operating in Zhao (China).
Because the land is large and the population is huge, many people complain that it is not enough even though they are holding several concerts disguised as fan meetings.
‘It’s so amazing that all the tickets are sold out every time.’
It was pretending to be a fan meeting, but it was definitely a concert, so we were dying day by day.
The concert is not even the name of the dog.
Of course, it’s not just the fan meeting.
He was invited to various TV stations in Zhao and made his face known.
In the process, of course, the stamina was drained, and thanks to this, the members were recording the lowest weight in their lives despite not managing their diet.
In the beginning, I managed to hold on somehow using the stamina bag, but now even I couldn’t get help from the stamina bag.
It’s been a long time since I used up all my stamina.
The problem is that there is no stamina to replenish.
That’s why our schedule was tight, and we had to go around busily all day long.
