[6] Girl group debut (2)

Q&G label, management team 1.

In preparation for Luna’s debut, she checked her personal work while leaving her busy staff behind.

“First stop by the choreography team…”

There was no room for my taste to intervene in the girl group project.

Contrary to her anxious mind, Solar’s song work went smoothly.

“Suho.”

“Yes. Chief.”

Team leader Park Cheol-min asked me with a puzzled expression.

“What’s wrong with your face? Did you not sleep?”

“No, it’s not like that…”

It’s probably too late to say that I don’t like the song now.

Judging by the look on his face, team leader Park seemed very satisfied with the song.

“Chief, did you hear the part distribution and recording yesterday?”

“Of course. I reported it to the chief in the morning.”

“…”

You’re just going to keep going like this.

Let’s think of it as a bit of a fresh genre.

Because all the music these days is there.

Honestly, it could have just been entirely a matter of my taste.

Numerous works that have failed to predict so far have been almost similar.

I don’t like it, I’m just a little anxious, it’s kind of annoying.

“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”

“No, no.”

“You know that this Saturday is Luna’s debut day, right?”

“Of course I know.”

It was the most important issue in the 2nd Headquarters these days, so I couldn’t not know.

“Sola needs to work hard too. You’re good at supporting me.”

“Yes. Chief.”

It’s not even debut yet, so to say it openly.

How much did the Solar members live while being compared to each other?

“When will Solar’s choreography team visit?”

“Today.”

“Yes? You must be busy.”

After a brief conversation, team leader Park grabbed manager Ji Sang-mo and continued the conversation.

Luna’s debut day is just a few days away.

From the self-showcase to the release of the sound source at the same time.

Compared to her Solar, how much support did she receive and make a splendid debut?

Drooling-

Soon after, Gong Se-won opened the door and came in and found Park.

“Chief Park, are you ready for Luna’s rehearsal?”

“Yes. Chief.”

“On the showcase stage, you can’t stand out too much, you know?”

“Yes. I prepared well as instructed.”

“Thanks for your work.”

A project that is so important that not only the head of department but also the CEO pays attention to it.

I was already adjusting the various entertainment schedules of the Luna members sequentially.

“The goal is to float all of Luna, not just Lucia.”

“All right.”

A member union of Luna formed from the beginning with Ryusia as the center.

In the first place, the reason she split into two teams was only because of her.

“Unconditional team play. We need to balance the group.”

“Yes. Manager.”

After a short conversation, the manager looked at me and smiled.

“Manager Jeong, you did a good job with producer Heo Chan-sung.”

“Ah, yes. Manager.”

“You can expect performance pay.”

“Thank you.”

Director Gong actively utilized Dream Agency’s incentive system.

A simple yet powerful motivator.

Differential distribution system based on performance.

Sometimes, there are people who are blinded by the incentives and uselessly roll the claws.

Looking at the growth of Dream Agency, it has definitely had a positive effect.

“But I mean.”

Then, Director Gong Se-won continued his words with his arms crossed.

“When I look into manager Jeong Soo-ho’s eyes, he always seems like a person who has camped out for multiples.”

“Yeah?”

“As if there is no turning back if you fail.”

“…”

Maybe it means that it seems so desperate.

It was rather earnest than when I was at Dream Agency.

“You don’t know the future. Because this floor is a market with so many variables.”

“Thank you for those kind words.”

After repeated failures, our team eventually went through the process of disbanding.

Because it continues to fail like that, it is now on the verge of coming.

“But Luna will succeed unconditionally. No, she has to succeed.”

“Yeah?”

“If the girl group project fails this time, I will fail too.”

“…”

A firm determination to somehow make Luna successful.

He had a different mindset than some gold spoons I knew.

‘I’ll know then when it’s the weekend.’

Will there be a reverse double again?

Will Luna perish like a dog?

A few days later,

Breathing in the fresh morning air, we drove the van to our accommodation.

Soon after, I arrived near the accommodation and took a quick look around.

‘Is there really no convenience store?’

The company’s discriminatory treatment of Solar was much worse than expected.

I won’t try to discriminate against Solar in the future.

It feels really bad to only move Luna.

Trururu—

I roughly parked the van and called right away.

I don’t have a cell phone, but I do have a landline.

-Hello?

“Oh, you’re the youngest.”

-Who is it?

“… Manager oppa.”

-Ahang.

Ahhh, don’t fuck with this.

“Somi, are all the sisters awake?”

-Two.

“You’re still sleeping for two?”

-Oh, three of them.

“…”

Then there was only one other person besides you.

– Just come in. You know the password.

“Isn’t that a bit like that?”

– It’s okay as long as you don’t go into the room. Manager Park just came in.

“Yes?”

Is a girl group manager like this?

It was definitely different from when I was an actor manager who only cared for one person.

Even, because I was in charge of 5 trainees who didn’t even have a smartphone.

Beep, beep beep—

Before long, I opened the front door of the dorm and went inside.

Although the stage where fantasies about celebrities remain has passed.

Still, isn’t there something that reminds me of female idol dorms?

“Why is there such a thing in a girl group’s dorm?”

“Yes?”

I don’t want big teddy bears or pretty flower pots.

Why did you list dumbbells or dumbbells by weight?

“What kind of gym is this? Why are there benches?”

“Ah, that’s Joo-hee’s exercise equipment.”

“This is a bit harsh.”

“Ah, the other members also exercise sometimes.”

“…But what are you doing now?”

“Me?”

Tap, tap-

The sound of typing that resonates rhythmically in the living room.

Our Ugly 3 Jammin has been busy since morning.

“Let’s play.”

“At the dorm? Did the team manager give permission?”

“… Almost?”

Almost what

It’s ridiculous.

“You can’t even use a smartphone, but you’re using a laptop?”

“Ah, it’s morning, so I’m changing my mood.”

“…”

Something bad happened in the morning, so I need a switch.

I thought I was better than my older sisters who were still in bed.

“Are you a jungle troll?”

“Ah, this is the wrong team.”

“0 kills and 7 dept talk back?”

“Hing.”

Our members, after being selected as the debut group, the tension was relieved.

That’s why I’m so anxious

If it was Dream Agency, I would have been fired right away.

Giik-

Just then, I heard the sound of hinges and the bathroom door opened.

“Uh…? Ah. It’s Yeji.”

“Manager, are you here?”

“…”

Seeing Yeji’s face, I burst into exclamation involuntarily.

I worked as an actress manager, so I’ve never been like this.

Skin with no blemishes, densely packed features.

Rather, the face without makeup was much more innocent and pretty.

“Yeah, when did you wake up?”

“I woke up first.”

“Nice job.”

Even her bare face, which she just washed her face, glowed with a lovely innocent look.

As far as visuals, she was not pushed at all even compared to Ryusia.

“I don’t have time right now, can you wake the members up?”

“Umm, Eunseo gets angry when I wake her up.”

“…Then let’s wash it last.”

“Like.”

Jang Jang-seo, the second of us who has difficulty controlling anger.

I’m worried that I might have an accident later during my activities.

Perhaps reading my thoughts from my expression, Yeji cautiously opened her mouth.

“Hey, Eunseo, you don’t have to worry.”

“Yes?”

“Still, listen to me.”

“Yes.”

He was only 22 years old, but he was very mature.

Except for the downside of not being able to raise the high notes, it’s really perfect.

The standard for an idol’s singing ability has become too high.

Not only his high notes and technique, but also his personality and sensibility.

Please, I hope my instincts are wrong this time.

“Ummm. I’m sleepy.”

Soon, the third in a sleeveless tank top rubbed his eyes and came out into the living room.

“Manager hyung, hi.”

“… Did you decide to call me hyung?”

“Oh, look away.”

Yang Joo-hee approached the sofa and quickly picked up the dumbbells.

“Do you exercise in the morning?”

“Of course. Exercise on an empty stomach, don’t you know?”

“…”

I don’t think you know you’re a member of a girl group.

Where should we start with our Solar members and how should we fix them?

To solve this anxiety, the only answer is to change members.

“Somi, stop playing games and wash up.”

“Eh, why are you suddenly me? There are people working out over there.”

“Exercise and game are not the same… Aren’t they?”

“What’s the difference?”

See how shameless Jammin is.

A choreography practice room in the Q&G label office building.

I safely delivered the members to the choreography team and said hello.

Roughly looking at the atmosphere, the choreography seemed to be at a certain stage of completion.

“Then, I’ll pick you up in three hours.”

“Don’t worry and take care of yourself.”

“Yes. Then.”

After confirming the lively choreographer, we left the practice room.

There were people who said it was okay to watch.

I was worried that you might not even like the choreography.

“Whoa…”

I had nothing to do for three hours anyway, so I went to my team’s office.

“Chief, how are you?”

“Is Suho here?”

I feel like I’ve already completely adapted to the first management team.

It was also nice to see team leader Park’s aggressive tone.

“Sangmo didn’t even unpack his luggage?”

“Today is their debut. They must be helping prepare for the stage.”

“I’m busy.”

Luna is the best prospect for the Q&G label in the first half of this year.

No matter how busy she is, Ji Ji-mo’s face has become slimmer lately.

Seeing her push at work these days, she seemed more curious about being ruined.

She was probably looking at other companies as well.

Does Q&G raise girl groups as well as boy groups?

“Suho.”

“Yeah?”

“Don’t you have anything to do after taking Solar’s kids to their dorm today?”

“It’s Saturday. I have to get off work early.”

“Hmm, good.”

Hey, are you trying to do something childishly like a welcome party?

“You help Luna clean up the showcase stage too.”

“… Her grandmother next door is ill.”

“Do you want to get sick?”

“No.”

I’d say you’re just busy

Feeling a bit amateur today.

“You know there is no overtime pay, right?”

“…”

Originally, it’s all the manager’s job, well.

Still, the performance pay is good.

Cho Young-soo, a reporter who used to be a popular culture and art critic.

He hated reporters who copied and pasted press releases from Enter.

He has already passed 3 years of his life as a reporter.

By this point, he knew how to write an article.

The Q&G label was absorbed by Dream Agency, and they released an ambitious girl group.

‘Luna feels a bit regretful.’

It didn’t take long for Jo Young-soo to be called a ‘genius’ in this world.

Because evaluations over the past dozen years have always accurately penetrated popularity and commerciality.

A plain question was enough for the monotonous article.

[Could Luna be the future of the Q&G label girl group?]

The song is good, the dance is good, and the atmosphere is good.

Overall, the stage balance is good.

‘There are no outstanding members.’

To put it simply, there are no members to fantasize about.

Most of the reporters officially invited to the showcase must have had similar thoughts.

Overall, the level is high, but they couldn’t get out of common girl groups.

Still, if you’re looking for possibilities.

‘Rysia, that friend is one of the best in the world.’

If the other members didn’t hide their charms, they would have been able to stand out enough.

I’d rather push this stage with Ryusia’s one tool.

If I hadn’t made concessions to balance it.

Isn’t this the feeling of forming a team with only strikers in soccer?

With such a great striker, why didn’t you build a midfielder and a defender?

‘I was too greedy.’

Korea’s K-pop idol market, which leads the world, is already saturated.

Forming a group centered on popular members must be the basics.

It wasn’t that the production companies preferred the textbook method for nothing.

Of course, monster rookies are often born where all the members are in the spotlight at the same time.

To put it bluntly, it wasn’t to the extent that Luna would chew up Korean music plates.

‘… You never know. Maybe I’m wrong.’

It was similar to the position of Hunsu-du next to the checkerboard.

It was easy to just leave the results and say what was disappointing.

‘It’s still too early to say it’s ruined, but…’

It was a bit disappointing for the content that the Q&G label worked hard to unfollow.

“Is he right? Manager Jung Soo-ho.”

“Uh. The person who said Solar was better than Luna.”

“It’s unique.”

At that moment, reporter Cho Young-hoon overheard the conversation of the staff.

“Why did you do that, the stage is good.”

“Just don’t mind. It’s been famous for its poop points since Dream Agency.”

“Ah, so you’re in charge of Solar?”

“Yeah, what.”

A man standing in the direction they are looking at.

He scratched the back of his head apprehensively and admired the stage.

He is a man who thinks the same as himself.

There must have been an employee who already discovered Luna’s flaws during the production stage.

It’s never easy to break the mold inside the company, not outside the company.

‘That person is a little awake.’

I was excited about which group the manager with good discernment would have chosen.

He said he would launch two girl groups three months apart.

After Luna’s ruin, I’ll try to push her solar a little more.

Meanwhile, at the same time. Same space.

Somebody scratched the back of their head and watched Luna’s stage in a state of fascination.

* * *

Wow, that’s crazy what a dog

Team balance really sucks.

In my opinion, this was the first tier among girl groups these days.

It would have been regrettable if he had been chosen as the one-stop for Ryusia.

“Chief Gong Se-won was a real genius?”

In terms of insight, he is almost a Zhuge Liang-level strategist.

Even with a golden spoon, you have to do that to be able to mount it.

“This is how Solar beats Luna.”

They said that report cards don’t lie, so it was embarrassing to compare with Solar.

We’ll never win until our kids are born again.

If Luna fails, it’s just that my eyesight is trash.

.

.

.

.

My eyesight was trash.

It’s not the end yet, but it was definitely not the result I was expecting.

After debuting for 15 days, the results were a series of regrets.

“… Why did you ruin it?”

When I think of Solar, she is rather nice.

I don’t know if she should like this.

Why did she really mess up

Is it because of my senses?
