Chapter 457 – #67. Trouble Counseling (1)
“Since the junior group decided to debut this time, will you be helping them?”
“Is that right?”
“I’m trying to get a little jealous. This is our team!”
Haha!”
It’s not like I’m working for another group at all.
Aren’t we taking a break from our activities at all during our break?
“It’s a group of juniors from the agency, so we should think about taking care of them.”
In the very beginning, we also received help from a group of seniors from the company.
Occasionally, when I met him at work, he took good care of me, and even when I went out, I was helped by personal connections.
Now is the time for us to give what we received to the junior group.
“Anyway, if we move to a label, we can eliminate the fact that the team is busy working on other things during the break. Personally, I want the staff to focus on us during that time. Just because we’re inactive doesn’t mean we’re not taking a break at all.”
“Oh, is it good?”
The reaction of the members was much better than expected.
If even one person showed a negative reaction, the label couldn’t even start.
However, looking at the members’ reactions so far, there was not a single one who thought negatively.
“And the desire to increase the size of the dedicated team, now, no matter how much the dedicated team is raised, in the end it is just one of the departments in the company, right? I want to grow big enough to surpass that. It’s professional manpower. But that’s absolutely impossible within the company, so I suggested making a label.”
The opinion I presented today will have to go through many revisions, such as adding flesh to it, removing some parts, and moving it from one place to another.
Creating a label is never easy.
In addition, a competent captain was needed to properly operate the label he had created.
I was worried about the many difficult things that were still scattered, but it was well worth the effort even if I put up with those difficulties.
‘I don’t know if the company will do it.’
If done wrong, the subsidiary may become larger than the parent company.
In order not to do that, our junior group needed to debut without problems and settle down.
Even the members who had only thought of renewing their contract with Honey Entertainment looked good, as if the new possibility of being a label had not come too badly.
“This is our opinion, but I think the opinions of the team members are also important.”
Even if we make a label, it’s useless if the team members don’t want to come.
“Of course. My teammates are in a state where I sneakily floated their luck. The reaction wasn’t as bad as I thought. I was taken aback because it was something I had never thought of, but it’s a tempting look.”
“Then I will be in favor of the label!”
“If you’re willing, we can think positively too.”
“Huh. Everyone, put it up as one of the possibilities and think about it.”
“Okay.”
Each member was deep in thought.
I also have a lot of things to consider about the label, so my thoughts are deep.
‘Everyone must have been positive about renewing the contract.’
It was a pity to end it like this, since there was already a seat.
I got lucky because I wanted to hear more honest stories from the members.
“By the way, how are you all?”
“What?”
“Because the renewal of the contract is just around the corner, there must have been talk about it. Like I brought up the label today.”
“I would be lying if I said no.”
“Honestly, it’s more uproar around me.”
“I heard that if you succeed, there will be scammers around you, but I didn’t know that would be me. In particular, they say there were many times when my parents were in trouble.”
Since the children are young, it seems that there are many cases of touching the family.
Families know the situation, so they try to remain neutral, but it was difficult for ordinary people to withstand the approach of scammers who have greased their mouths.
“It is tempting without even realizing it. These are people who make money by deceiving people, how talkative they are.”
“My mom has already lent me some money.”
“Omg! Really?”
“Still, my mom has a small liver, so it’s not her big money, but she lends it within 500 lines. At first, she borrowed it because her circumstances were so difficult, but she soon realized that she shouldn’t be like this.”
Even the mindset when entering and leaving the bathroom is different.
When you ask for money, you buy sympathy with all kinds of flashy words, but after receiving the money, you can change your attitude like a shameless blood.
“The most absurd thing is that he didn’t intend to give the money he borrowed, so when he went to pick it up, he said things were really bad and instead asked for more money.”
It could be that the situation is really not good from that person’s point of view.
“So she was going to go, saying that her mother would extend her deadline, but her son is earning her money so well, and she only borrowed a few hundred to play loans. She came out with a red card.”
“You must be very angry.”
“You must have felt betrayed?”
“Huh. When I got home, I cried a lot. I found out about it later I was so angry that I personally went to his house and asked him to give me the money.”
“Hyung himself!?”
Kyeongtae hyung’s surprising story made the members wear rice cakes! Opened up
“If you don’t give me the money, they said they would solve it legally, so they couldn’t even shout? He asked for an extension of the deadline a little bit while he was in the middle of the day. I guess I didn’t have any real money. So I warned him that it was the last time and went back.”
“So what about the money?”
“I haven’t paid it all yet, but I am paying back hundreds of thousands of won every month. My mother lost a friend of hers. She shouldn’t be lending money to real acquaintances. All ties are broken.”
Kyung-tae’s painful experience.
It was something I couldn’t just think of as someone else’s business.
“If we renew the contract, the company will give us hundreds of millions of dollars as a down payment. The problem is that other companies have prepared billions of down payments for us.”
“I have no greed for money. Honestly, with the money I’m making right now, I don’t have to worry about making a living for the rest of my life.”
“That’s right. All I need is money to spend playing games.”
What the members said was that they would not be easily shaken even if they brought a huge down payment.
“That’s what I’m worried about. In Juni’s case, you have a lot of interest in acting. I wondered how they would feel when a company with a lot of know-how and connections said they would actively support the acting department if they came to our company. Kyungtae wants to be known more as a rapper.”
It was true that despite their respective abilities, they were tied to the name ‘idol’ and were not properly evaluated.
What if another company scratches and twists that part?
Who is there who will not be shaken?
If you sign a contract with Honey Enter, you probably don’t know that you have to focus more on group activities than individual activities.
“I know that individual activities are good and necessary, but I don’t want to do it to the point of harming the group. And we are still young!”
“That’s right. I’m still in my 20s, so there’s no reason to be thirsty for individual activities.”
“And if Haesol makes a label like hyung said, won’t we be able to be managed the way we want?”
“You have to run the label well, if you do it wrong, it could become a mess and not be managed more properly than it is now.”
“Ah~ hyung, you’re pretending to be weak again.”
The members were criticizing me while saying ooh.
“What am I?”
“I would agree even if hyung were to represent the label. If it’s my older brother, I think he’ll be able to trust me.”
“Me too!”
“Why did you trust me to be the label’s CEO? Is that something anyone can do?”
“Considering what you’ve shown me, isn’t it strange that I don’t believe you?”
“What did I show you?”
“When we’re having a hard time, when we’re having a hard time, when we have a problem, when we need a new idea, and so on! Everything was solved because you moved.”
Since I have a special power that no one else has, I tend to take the initiative to solve whatever happens.
Isn’t it a law that people want to keep using it if they have the ability?
Since it’s not something I can tell others about, I often overcome crises with the excuse that it’s for the sake of the group.
I brushed everything off by solving problems at that time, but it seems that the members were piling up my actions like that.
That’s because the accumulated trust and belief made me be offered the absurd position of label representative.
“How can I run my own label when I’m busy with promotions? I didn’t ask you to set up a label to grow up in a fist-fighting way. I will find a proper professional manager.”
“Whatever it is, we’ll leave it to you. You’ve never let us down before. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the label you suggested, I wouldn’t have said it. I wouldn’t have thought of it positively.”
“That’s right.”
“Do I have that much trust in you guys?”
“Huh.”
“I thought you knew, but didn’t you know at all?”
“I guess I was the only one who didn’t know.”
To be honest, I didn’t feel bad.
Don’t the members say that they believe in me to that extent?
“Thank you, but I really need to get to know you better.”
“If you want us to do something, do it. It just means that I trust you, it doesn’t mean I’m going to leave all the burden on you.”
“That’s right! It’s a piece of shit that I don’t know anything about, but it’s better to fight white paper! Wouldn’t that help at all?”
Is this the heart of a father who raised a child well?
Thanks to the members who chose words that made their hearts happy, I was convinced that the contract renewal issue, which is a major crisis at the group level, could be resolved without difficulty.
When I think of my mind at the beginning of the group, I have changed a lot too.
Idol life that I accidentally ended up getting drunk.
When the contract period is over, I thought that I should immediately quit my activities and return to my original life.
Since I have relationships with women who have become my family, I wondered if it was necessary to renew the contract.
‘But I actually became more active in renewing the contract.’
To be honest, I liked being on stage with the members.
I wanted to tour the world more while doing group activities rather than individual activities.
I realized that standing on stage is more addictive than I thought.
As long as I already knew the thrill of the stage, I didn’t want to get away from this place.
However, unlike the other members, I had quite important concerns regarding the contract renewal issue.
It’s about my family.
Taeyang has grown so much that it is impossible to hide it any longer.
Until now, I didn’t know what it was, so it didn’t hurt the child even if I hid it, but my hair gradually grew thicker, and Taeyang was old enough to know what it was.
The time has come when it is impossible to hide it any longer.
It was something I couldn’t figure out by myself.
In the end, I made up a lot of things to consult and went to Yeonju.
“Help me! Sister!”
“What are you talking about, all of a sudden?”
“I have a lot to discuss right now.”
“Are you going to consult?”
“It’s not a public matter, it’s a private matter, so I asked for advice.”
She revealed that she did not ask for a consultation with the CEO of Honey Enter, but with her sister Jo Yeon-ju.
After hearing my words, Yeon Joo’s sister softened her somewhat stiff expression.
“It’s a private part… Tell me What is it?”
The CEO of Honey Entertainment is my woman, so it’s really hard to consult with her, but the person who can give me the best advice regarding my current job is Yeon-joo.
“First of all, we’re about to renew our contract, right?”
“Yes.”
“So I made a suggestion to the members.”
“What suggestions? I know the company hasn’t made a specific proposal yet.”
“We will propose it to the company.”
“… Good. It is true that the company is comfortable if you tell me what you want first. But isn’t this a public matter, not a private matter?”
“No. Am I consulting my woman?”
“You know I’m the president of this company, right?”
“But since you are my woman, wouldn’t you give me some advice?”
When I said it with a single smile, Yeonjoo’s older sister let out a sigh as if she couldn’t stop it.
“I don’t know how well I can stay neutral, but try it.”
After Yeonjoo’s sister gave her permission, I quickly explained the problems that were troubling me.
Revealing my girls to the world as the biggest issue to be resolved before re-signing.
And even the label issue was everything.
Since both issues had a great influence on the future of our group, Yeon-joo’s expression hardened seriously when she heard the contents.
