[140] Expansion(3)

Articles about Solar’s trip to the US flooded various Internet portals.

Her album activities, schedule, and future plans.

All of that made headlines.

From the point of view of domestic fans, it must be a regrettable but expected move.

The freshmen of Seogwang Art High School were very envious of the top-notch seniors.

“Minji, weren’t you and Somi very close?”

“Yeah, it’s like no other.”

“But why is your expression so bright?”

“Oh did you?”

Nam Min-ji answered her friend with a smile.

“You are going to America with great ambition, and of course I am happy.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Of course.”

Although she had never been beaten or teased.

Strangely, I was breathless in front of mentor Somi.

A one-sided natural enemy relationship that cannot move like a frog in front of a snake.

‘It’s summer vacation soon…’

Isn’t it enough to just enjoy the ‘popular’ entertainment industry without going to school?

“Honey.”

“You sound like honey.”

“?”

Then, the homeroom teacher opened her mouth as she entered the classroom.

“Come on, we came in last in our class. Applause.”

“Wow, who’s in last place?”

“You mean. Nam Min-ji, you’re in last place.”

“Ohh.”

“You sound like oh.”

Soon, the teacher looked at Minji as if she was dumbfounded.

“Somi is playing in the school district even when she is busy, so why are you like that?”

“Ah, why are you comparing?”

“Don’t you know that celebrities who are good at studying are the trend these days?”

“I’m not doing it on purpose.”

“What?”

“Because people can’t be too perfect.”

“…”

Still, her friends supported Nam Min-ji diligently.

“Sir, how many Eclipse schedules do you have!”

“That’s right. I’m very busy!”

“Even if you can’t study.”

“… Five.”

Minji enjoyed the love of her friends with her satisfied expression.

However, the last cut quickly went into someone’s ears.

Iljin, in charge of her Nam Min-ji, called her after hearing the news.

“Senior Somi, congratulations on entering the US!”

“I heard you were last.”

“If possible, please tell me that you are number one in the back.”

“This.”

Somi crookedly sucked on her lollipop.

What is an idol

She was literally an idol.

“Do you think that the last in the entire school deserves to be someone’s idol?”

“Senior, I’m not studying on purpose.”

“What bullshit is that?”

“Sunbae!”

Nam Min-ji speaks with her open mouth with her eyes wide open.

“I don’t want to put myself in the prison of a school created by the older generation!”

“If it’s noisy and you’re still in last place when you get back from the States, wait and see.”

“Why, why. What are you going to do?”

“I’m going to publish your report card on social media.”

“Oh, why are you doing that to me?”

“…”

Because you’re the only one

“I’m the first to mix words with the last one.”

“It’s really too much!”

“You’re even worse. You’re in last place in the whole school.”

“Hing.”

Somi put the 「Brain」Problem book given to her by her representative on her table.

Insane test coverage with near thesis-level expertise.

It was the first time in my life that I put so much effort into ‘studying’.

Normally, I was confident that I could memorize all the typefaces just by skimming them.

‘…The book is too thick.’

Memorize four books like this.

I am not a student studying for the bar exam.

“I’m dying to study too.”

“…”

I couldn’t do anything for the last few days and just memorized problem books.

If it wasn’t for the wish ticket for her CEO’s birthday, I would have refused.

“Senior, it’s easier if you give up.”

“You are so comfortable.”

“Lol.”

I went to the US and came back, just try to finish last.

Somi patted Minji on the shoulder and said.

“Minji, let’s sleep well.”

“… Yes.”

Meanwhile, the eyes of the freshmen watching the two from afar were full of envy.

“You’re comforting me for being the last in the entire school.”

“Look how sweet Somi is.”

“Wow, I want to become a Sky Enter trainee too.”

“It’s very tight there.”

“Is it.”

The friendship between a world star and a new girl group member.

Isn’t it a beautiful sight that you would see in a drama?

“I really envy Minji.”

“Admit that.”

What you do in management is simpler than you think.

Schedule management, contract or guarantee management.

Vehicles and managers, auditions and meeting opportunities.

Among them, it was not the management’s role to select ‘good’ works or works.

First of all, because it is impossible.

At least on this floor, it wasn’t a ‘good’ work if it wasn’t chosen by the public.

Maybe that’s why my poop point, which is almost 100% convergent, is even more shiny.

‘Now the trainees…’

No matter what kind of work it was, there was no reverse assignment.

“CEO, I’ve got it sorted out.”

“Ah yes.”

I checked the list of trainees brought by team leader Koo Hyun-sik.

“Is it all released?”

“…”

Before going to the U.S., I sorted out the projects I had done in Korea one by one.

Especially trainees who haven’t debuted yet.

I couldn’t torture hope forever.

“Among them, there are many talented trainees.”

“Yes. I know.”

Currently, there are three girl groups raised by Sky Enter.

As of now, we are considering entering the US.

“I don’t have the energy to manage trainees.”

“All right.”

“Please write a letter of recommendation in my name on another entry.”

“Yes. CEO.”

In the company, there were no trainees who were caught in reverse betrayal anymore.

“For the time being, we focus on caring for existing artists rather than newcomers.”

“Yes. CEO.”

“Chief, did you check the date of the meeting in the US?”

“Yes. Next major.”

It was once a popular show, but now it is a survival of the brain.

Although popular in the US, it has died a lot.

Thanks to that, the reverse distribution really stood out.

“Please collect the children’s passports according to the date.”

“All right.”

I checked the head of the team, who was moving away, and opened the drawer.

The thrifty Yeji wears a luxury watch, and the quasi-conglomerate Eunseo wears an old bracelet.

I stared at the two presents as if their images had changed.

“What is it?”

“Oh, what a surprise.”

Soon, Mr. Park Ah-young, laughing and talking to me next to me.

He wore clink glasses and was holding a thick book in one hand.

“Ayoung, has your fashion changed?”

“Yes. I’m going to study a bit now.”

“Are you studying?”

The name of the book she is holding is unusual.

“… Regards?”

“Yes. I was told to study at home.”

“…”

Is CEO Park going to take over the company?

“Can you follow me to America?”

“Sure. That’s why I went to study abroad.”

“I’m glad.”

Although Jo Yu-mi’s skills weren’t bad either.

It’s really hard to find coordinates that float in reverse.

“CEO, but did you find a hair and makeup shop in the US?”

“I did recognize a few.”

“Aha.”

When I go down to the provinces in Korea, I travel by car.

In the US, traveling by plane was the default.

“I have to go to America and find out.”

Is the back of the head tickling, or is it ‘not’ to my taste?

“Actually, there’s a studio I know.”

“Oh yeah?”

“You’re as good as I am!”

“…”

So, that means inverse displacement.

Personally, I mean bad.

“Please leave your number for now.”

“Like!”

Tiri-Ri-Ring-

At that time, the room madam received a phone call.

The person who sincerely suggested that I enter the US.

“Hello, Grandma.”

-I got a rental property in LA.

“…”

Is it that easy to find a building?

– Why are you not talking?

“Ah, yes. Thank you!”

-What is gratitude, an investment?

“Ah yes.”

If you received an investment, it would be right to prove it with results.

It’s because he’s someone who invests but doesn’t interfere with management.

“I will do my best.”

– Of course it should.

Pop.

I hung up the phone and immediately looked for a ticket to the US.

‘The first schedule is…’

「Brain」 King of Kings.

It was brain survival.

* * *

A week later

I visited the RSB record company in LA at the appointed time.

Although everything is an unfamiliar environment, we naturally moved to the meeting place.

“Nice to meet you, Finn Brown.”

“Oh, representative Jung Soo-ho!”

Finn Brown welcomes me after seeing him for the first time in a while.

The staff around me raised their eyes wide.

Does that mean that there are no cases where guests are happy to see them?

“Let’s eat inside.”

“Good.”

Before the Solar members even entered the country.

Although the management business as a foreigner was not easy.

“Mr. Finn Brown, thanks for your help, things are going smoothly.”

“Isn’t it natural that we are friends?”

“Oh, yes. That’s right.”

The album production and distribution preparations had already been completed.

We also set up a music video studio.

It was time for marketing and publicity.

No matter how hard we prepared, we needed a window to promote our music.

“I heard about Brain appearing.”

“Oh yeah?”

“If the king is complete, there will be about 100 performers. Only geniuses.”

“Wow.”

It’s a lot more than you think.

“Among them, only a few are caught on screen for a long time.”

“…The rest will be buried.”

“Yes.”

She was already prepared.

It was fortunate that Somi followed so diligently.

Because he’s one of the smartest people I know.

“CEO Jeong, did you hear about that? Celebrities appearing in Brain.”

“Ah, are there other celebrities besides Solar?”

“Yes. Kiara.”

“… Up on the stage at Coachella together?”

“You’re right.”

She is a typical American mother-daughter who has a good academic background and is good at music.

She was more famous for her songs and image making than for her skills.

“Kiara will only shoot Solar from Brain.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m jealous.”

“…”

A narrow-minded person.

On the Coachella stage, Kiara was buried, and Solar gained recognition.

She didn’t know then that she was still holding a grudge as she did.

“Kiara said she’s lost a lot of her form lately.”

“Yes. Since the management change.”

“Oh yeah?”

For some reason, they don’t manage these days.

Even the songs that came out recently are not the same as before.

“Recently, there is a rumor going around saying that he is in a relationship with Tom. Royland’s male protagonist.”

“Oh, that person!”

The Hollywood actor who confessed and attacked Yeji.

He would have been hit in the eye if he didn’t know.

“Thank you for good information.”

“It was nothing.”

Soon after, Finn Brown spoke in a slightly bittersweet tone.

“The producer who raised Kiara disappeared.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes. I definitely wanted to subdue him.”

“…”

Wow, what a great person you are.

“That friend, record production is rather better than me.”

“Is that enough?”

“Yes. He’s a musical genius. His talent is probably similar to Dohana’s producer.”

“…”

He’s better at making records than Finn Brown.

Would the back of your head tickle if you met that person?

“I wonder who it is.”

“I’m looking hard, so I’ll tell you when I find it.hahahaha.”

“Yes, I like it.”

Soon, Finn Brown changed his subject, refreshing the mood.

“Let’s go see the music video set first.”

“I have a meeting with the brain crew in the afternoon.”

“Then we must go quickly.”

“Yes. You do.”

Even as he moved, he kept thinking about Kiara.

‘This shack, to fuck someone.’

I was familiar with the way 「Brain」 Proceeded to some extent.

A structure that will fall someday when attacked.

So, political skills were as important as brains.

‘I’ll have to practice with Somi.’

* * *

All contestants in “Brain” Start with $1,000.

Since it was King of Kings, most of the performers made it to the finals.

Among them, there were at least a few notable participants.

American pop star Kiara, and Girls on Top mentors Yeji and Somi.

In particular, this was the first case in which a Korean celebrity appeared.

“You came too soon.”

Last year’s King of Kings winner Stephen entered the studio nervously.

A TV program starring Royland’s sub-woman.

What should I say when I meet the main character of a life movie in real life?

Even the prize money of 100,000 dollars was not encouraging at all.

I was just excited at the thought of meeting Yeji.

“Mr. Stephen.”

“?”

Then, someone came up to him and talked to him.

“It’s from Capital Management.”

“…”

Recently, a rapidly growing agency in the American entertainment industry.

I don’t know why they bothered to keep Sky Enter in check.

A proposal to team up with Kiara.

To be honest, I wasn’t very excited.

‘… Sola?’

The moment Yeji-nim’s name came out, there was an interest that wasn’t there.

“I want to fuck Solar.”

“Yes. Is it okay for an Asian to mess with the King of Brains? We have to protect our rice bowls.”

“… What are you going to do for me?”

“You have a You Tube channel, right?”

“Hmm.”

Stephen nodded, pretending to be interested.

“We will promote Kiara-san through SNS.”

“Not bad.”

A villain who wants to touch the main character of the movie of his life.

Steven nodded and looked at him.

“What’s your plan?”

“Aha, that’s…”

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Yeji and Somi opened their mouths at the gigantic scale of the American broadcasting station.

“Wow, the studio is huge.”

“I know.”

Two girls dressed up in a new shop in America.

Yeji took Somi’s hand and headed to the meeting place.

“The representative told me to wait here.”

“I want to see a little more.”

“No.”

The process of finding a new shop in the US was also a breeze.

[Gacha Beauty] Is run by Ayoung Park’s sister’s acquaintance.

The representative scratched the back of his head and signed a contract there.

‘The name is a little strange, but…’

Because I believe in the representative.

Soon after, Yeji was guided by the staff and moved to the set.

She wondered if she could be confident in a place where geniuses gathered.

“Sister, I’ll carry you. Don’t worry.”

“Oh, um.”

“Here’s the superstar.”

“… Kiara.”

A pop singer I met once on the Coachella stage in April of this year.

Her representative specifically told her to be careful.

“Oh, next to him…”

“Steven, you’re a strong contender.”

“…”

Have you already formed a team?

Politics is also part of the game.

At that time, Steven, who was next to Kiara, winked at him.

“What is that person?”

“It’s cat-calling. Ignore it.”

“At the broadcasting station!?”

“It’s America.”

“…”

After all, America is a scary country.

I want to finish shooting soon and go back.
