Chapter 507 – #75. Junior (7)
Maybe it’s because it’s something I wanted to hear.
“Where are the weak-willed kids these days? My older brother is sleeping with his legs stretched out, but he must be sleeping with his legs stretched out and snoring because he feels cool inside?”
It is very likely that it actually does.
How nice would it be to live a life without anyone interfering after dancing, singing, managing your diet, and exercising all day long?
Joo-ah noona also lost a bit of weight back then.
The freedom and indulgence you get when you manage and don’t manage will be quite sweet.
“Haa~, I’d rather be like that. I think that would put my mind at ease.”
“Anyway, this older brother has a very weak heart.”
“It looks like it’s big enough to beat a tiger.”
“Yah!”
“Listening to what Kyungtae said, it’s not easy to judge. So what? Are you rejecting this?”
“What if the kids cry when they hear we said no? You must be expecting a lot.”
“Ah…”
My heart is not good when I see the Remember kids.
Contrary to what he boasted, it was all the more so when he found out that there was nothing he could do.
I think it’s right that I should accept this.
The atmosphere suddenly became somber.
The members started gathering opinions again.
“There is nothing difficult. There is Jeki hyung who composes, there is Haesol hyung who can produce, and there is Kyungtae hyung who has judged. Aren’t you being too selfish? Even though I told the kids that I would help them. We’re trying not to lose money at all. Shouldn’t helping in the first place be done at some cost?”
“… Why did our youngest become so smart?”
The members were surprised by the maknae’s words.
It’s because I assaulted the fact with the right sound.
“Recently, only me and Kang-jun were left out?”
Woo Yeon-i was surprised by Nam-gyu’s point and hurriedly said.
“Uh… Juni hyung seems to be able to help with facial expressions… Eun-gyu hyung… Dance?”
“They dance well.”
“Uh…”
“You should blame yourself for your incompetence, why do you say something to Wooyeon?”
When Kang-jun smiled and said this, Nam-gyu got angry and the two started fighting.
“You have nothing to do, so Woo-yeon forced you to teach facial expression acting!”
I gave Juni and Eun-gyu a warning glance and opened my mouth.
Since it was not a gathering to play, it was necessary to refrain from blurring the atmosphere.
“I am in favor of coincidence as it is said.”
At my words, the members’ eyes turned to me.
“Haesol says you are also Chansung?”
“Looks like everyone is paying attention because that hyung is talking. Ehyo. You treat me like the youngest.”
“Are you and Haesol the same?”
“Stop the noise! Keep talking.”
Apparently, the Jira members, who tended to listen to my opinion when deciding the most important thing in the group, had a different attitude from the beginning.
“You already predicted that it wasn’t just the kids that became like that. And it was confirmed that there was actually a problem with the dedicated team.”
“Yes.”
“Currently, he is serving only an honorary position, but since he is a relative of the president who has the most shares in the company, he cannot be fired without justification. If we don’t help, in the end only the lowest-level employees will be fired. If we help, we can give them grace, and if we turn away, we create enemies within.”
It’s like I just went out and made things.
If it’s something you started anyway, it’s right to take responsibility neatly.
“It’s already started, so let’s not step out halfway. Anything hot! When you do it right! Wasn’t that our motto?”
“You’re trying to help me properly, right?”
“Yes. It’s not like there aren’t any areas where we can benefit from helping our juniors.”
If the juniors who produced it do well, all of that honor will go to us.
Usually
“Instead, we have to do well. But I believe in our ability. It’s not that we don’t know the cause of the failure, we’ve even identified what went wrong. At this level, it’s not high risk high return, but low risk high return.”
We, who were embarrassed to say that the cause of the failure was only shyness, have come to know that there is a problem with the dedicated team.
It was one of the reasons we had to accept that the cause of the failure would disappear if we accepted the plan.
“We can naturally remove the cause of failure and at the same time appeal our skills to the public more.”
“Until now, idols have never been successful in producing. This job will create an artist image for us.”
The public will also be able to know what was known only to those concerned.
Image enhancement is always welcome.
With this plan as an opportunity, there may be places that really ask us to produce.
It’s something I started to help my juniors a little bit, but it’s not all that bad.
“Every time he comes out like this, I can’t resist. When you hear it, you will be enchanted.”
“It’s more like that because the results so far have been good. Neither do I.”
Even the members who were still confused and unable to make a decision, and even Kyung-tae hyung, who had already voted against it, seemed to be fooled by my words.
“Let’s do it.”
“Okay! I’d agree. It’s not that the kids don’t have skills, they’re just that good, and there’s nothing they can’t do.”
“Are you all in favor? If there is even one person who opposes it, I think it is right not to do it.”
“No one is against it.”
The bright-eyed children were nodding their heads.
After receiving everyone’s approval, I started a meeting on how to help in earnest.
“I have a few decisions to make. Will we actively help or will we help with the compromise that they have prepared.”
“Weren’t you trying to help passionately? If you’re going to start, you’ll have to touch everything. There’s no way you can be satisfied with what others have done for you.”
Jackie was the first to comment.
It’s not that we don’t have the ability, we’re already putting our hands on all the albums and making them.
It’s familiar to us, but we know that this is very rare for others.
“Then let’s just touch everything. And Jackie and I will see if there are any good songs. Coincidence, what is your schedule like?”
I first checked the kids’ schedule.
It was because I had to know how much time I could afford so I could decide what to do with my kids.
“I have photo shoots and variety shoots, but I’m not too busy.”
“Then, since you’re the closest with the kids here, discuss it and find out what kind of concept you want to do.”
“Oh, the kids will love it.”
Since they were still rookies, being able to put their opinions into the album was a great privilege.
“Kyung-tae hyung will be busy with his schedule right now, so solve that first. When the schedule is over, I’ll tell you what to do. Does Joonie have a very busy schedule too?”
Joon-yi was filming for acting, so he wasn’t sure of the schedule.
“I’m a bit busy, but… It’s not like I don’t have time at all.”
“Then, when you have time, give the kids some advice on how to act on stage. When I saw it during practice, it seemed that that part was lacking a bit.”
“Huh.”
“And Eun-gyu, how is your schedule?”
“I have to go out because I have some overseas schedules.”
To be honest, Nam Gyu was more popular overseas than in Korea.
Maybe that’s why, when Nam Gyu started his solo activities, there were exceptionally many love calls from abroad.
According to what he heard the other day, he said that he would release a collaboration song with a famous singer in a certain country.
I don’t know if I recorded it well.
“Then you go on that schedule too.”
“What am I going to do?”
“You have a good sense of humor, so you get along well with strangers. Teach your kids something like that. You are doing the most important thing.”
“Wow~ You want me to do that by myself?”
Eun-gyu is also terrified that he is aware that that part is important.
“Try it with coincidence.”
If you add Wooyeon, I think the two of you will do well.
“I even ask Kyungtae for help sometimes. Especially since the kids are still young, they seem to be clumsy in social life.”
How to live a child’s social life.
I think this part needs to be properly trained by connecting with a dedicated team.
“Who thinks that shyness, which was not a problem until now, has become a problem out of the blue?”
“… Wasn’t it like that?”
Nam-gyu opens his eyes wide and blinks.
“Eh, the kid you’re going to teach is in this state, is it okay?”
“Have you already forgotten the treatment we received when we were rookies?”
Compared to other groups, it wasn’t severe, and it seems that the kids already forgot it because I blocked it in advance.
When I mentioned it, then did you remember? Ah! And shout
“Yeah, there’s no way they wouldn’t have been treated like that. That’s why I kept shrinking and being shy.”
“Wow~ I didn’t know this.”
“Idiot, are you the only one here who doesn’t know that?”
“Did you know?”
“Of course.”
“Wow, it seems I was the only one who didn’t know this. Somehow, hyung kept praising them!!”
“My self-esteem was low, so I praised him hard to get him back to normal. It was rewarding because I really like compliments. And you were really good at it.”
Giving compliments wasn’t a big deal.
Because the kids did so well.
Knowing that, I decided to try betting again.
If you lack skills, you don’t know, but you have skills, and a clear concept image is already in your head.
“But will the kids like it when they hear this news? I suddenly wondered if we were the only ones who were excited.”
And a pretty fatal point came flying.
‘I roughly thought of the melody of the song…’
If the parties don’t like it, we have no reason to help.
I realized the need to have a talk with the Remember kids before starting the whole thing.
♧ ♧ ♧
Remember
A word that means ‘to remember’.
It is also a group name that contains the aspirations of becoming a group that can be remembered by people.
However, unlike the group name that was created with great ambition, the reality was extremely cold.
If there was only hope for such a member, it was the attitude of the agency that had no intention of giving up on the member yet.
They were devising various ways to somehow make the memory work.
Knowing the hardships of the employees, the Remember kids couldn’t just remain frustrated.
Moreover, she knew very well that Air Plane senior, an existence that would have been difficult to even dare to look at these days, was paying attention to Remember and even rolling up her arms to help them.
“What do you do with this?”
“What do you do? You have to work hard.”
“Wouldn’t it be somehow possible if I put my body on the ground?”
“Scared.”
“Oh, are you going to cry again?”
The youngest, Ice, has a lot of tears, but recently she has shown tears more often.
Since it is difficult for a child who has not yet reached adulthood to endure, her members comforted the youngest while suppressing their depression.
