[62] Sun Goddess (8)

Q&G label office building.

A training room for trainees before their debut.

The newly selected trainees watched TV together.

“Wow, seniors. I’m envious.”

“I envy you too.”

Diana announces her acceptance speech in awkward Korean.

A beautiful figure in which the original author receives the arranger’s award instead.

-Uh… Congratulations, Mr. Dohana. Um, yes.

What a great group Solar is.

They were the best girl group ever created by Q&G.

“You know what? One of our interviewers is Jeong Su-ho, the team leader.”

“Oh, a dancing machine?”

“Yes. He said he raised Solar all by himself.”

“I heard it too.”

Han Ji-ah pricked up her ears to what her classmates said.

Isn’t this all information that becomes blood and flesh?

“Not just a selection of songs, but also top idols, getting married to conglomerates, and escape room mazes…”

The works that put Solar in the current position.

To think that he picked all the big works by himself.

“It’s not even the team leader, he says he’s been flying around since his road days.”

“…”

Solar, sponsored by G.O.L, sweeps the awards at the Mami Awards Ceremony.

At one time, Somi was just an ordinary middle school student like herself.

‘… Envy.’

Now I have risen to a height that I can’t even look up at.

Maybe if we went to high school together, we wouldn’t even pretend to know each other.

Time passed, the time for the last award for part 2.

The TV was showing the nominees for this year’s grand prize one by one.

Solar was proudly nominated for the ‘Song of the Year’ award.

“Wow, Solar seniors!”

“It’s so cool.”

Drooling-

At that time, vocal trainer Min Shin-ae came in and shouted.

“Are you guys watching TV right now!?”

“Ah, that, that’s…”

“I practiced latte day and night. I ran out of these!”

“I’m sorry!”

Although it was the first class, Min’s notoriety was well deserved.

Among the trainees, she was known as the tiger teacher.

“Did you all come to visit Q&G?”

“Oh no!”

Min Shin-ae, with her arms crossed, performed a cross-legged act.

“Do you know how much Yeji practices?”

“Are you Solar Yeji senior?”

“Yes. How difficult it is to change her singing method after her debut. A friend who does that.”

“Ah…”

Celebrity stories were the biggest concern for trainees.

Aren’t you trying to be like them someday?

“You guys have to practice hard to debut!”

“Yes!”

Soon after, Min Shin-ae grabbed each one and started her lessons.

Since it was her first class, she meticulously noted the pros and cons.

“… Han Ji-ah?”

“Yes?”

Min Shin-ae looked at her Jia with her bewildered eyes.

“This is the first time I’ve ever taken vocal lessons…?”

“Yes!”

“I heard that the new statue came out during the ceremony.”

“Yes. That’s right!”

“… What’s the way you talk?”

It is much more difficult to enter the forecast than the usual notice.

Aren’t most of the cases where only the real youngsters gather?

“I entered school with a specialty in composition!”

“Hmm, is that so?”

I heard that she was a child chosen by team leader Jeong Su-ho.

‘… Is it a star?’

Even though he had no basic skills, his voice was good.

Compared to her star-like appearance, her singing skills are mediocre.

It could really be a gemstone, so I should teach it step by step from the basics.

“Jia, let’s start over with vocalization.”

“Yes? How are you?”

“… Why do you keep saying that?”

“Lol.”

Min Shin-ae smiled at her and put her hand on his cheek.

“Now smile, hold her cheek in the palm of your hand and lift it up.”

“How is this?”

“Singing in that condition creates a resonance in her head. That’s resonance.”

“Oh… Resonance.”

Customized classes for students that teach from the basics.

Rather, it was blank, so it was easy to fill in.

“Then why practice with a gag?”

“Yes?”

“Gag Resonance! hehehe.”

“…”

Wasn’t it white paper, but white paper?

A charm that lightens the heavy class atmosphere.

A smile came out as he stuck out his tongue cutely.

In an instant, cheers erupted from the next room.

“Wow ahhhhh !!!”

It looks like a place where male trainees take classes.

Loud cheers came from the other practice room.

“Teacher.”

“Yes?”

“… I must have been on target.”

“Ah.”

Min Shin-ae hurriedly turned on her Nnet channel with her TV remote control.

One of the best awards at the Mami Awards.

Although she could be ridden by a rookie.

-Song of the Year Award, Solar’s Sunrise And Sunset! Congratulations!!

Solar’s song reached the pinnacle of the K-pop market this year.

It was at this point that less than a year had passed since her debut.

* * *

Next day.

Since morning, her portal main has been plastered with articles about Solar.

[The biggest surprise at the Nnet Mami Awards Ceremony! Song of the Year Award goes to Solar…]

[The price of the see-through dress designed by G-All’s new chief designer is…]

The aftermath of the Ennet Mami Awards was significant.

Even now, congratulatory messages are pouring in.

“… I came all the way here with a poop tip.”

Recently, the itchy back of the head often sent ‘signals’.

If you like me, you’re ruined

If it’s not my taste, I’ll succeed.

It was rather a loss to analyze the market and develop an eye.

Then what if the yeokbae becomes the jeongbae?

I’m just going to live like this forever.

Tiri-Ri-Ring-

Shortly thereafter, a call came from Manager Park.

“Hello. Manager.”

-Today, the representative is looking for you.

“Are you the queen?”

-No, Mr. Gong Yoo-hwan.

“…”

Co-CEO of Q&G label.

Gong Se-won’s father.

‘… They say he has a very benevolent personality.’

As a small and medium-sized enterprise, you might have wanted to raise Solar yourself.

In the meantime, he hadn’t touched the detailed schedule or training at all.

-Perhaps he is calling for encouragement.

“Okay, I’ll go to work right away.”

-Yes.

That must mean that the results of the Mami Awards Ceremony were unexpected.

I wish they would give me a bonus or something more.

I also have to pay the interest on the apartment loan.

After a while,

As soon as I went to work, I was greeted with applause.

Our team members, as well as people from neighboring departments, visited.

“Congratulations, Team Leader Jeong Soo-ho!”

“Congratulations to me…”

“SAS is Solar!”

Is that a compliment?

“Suho.”

Soon, Director Park tapped me on the shoulder and continued talking.

“Great job.”

“Thank you.”

After roughly unpacking, I headed to the representative office with the manager.

Knock, Knock-

I knocked on the knock and opened the door with a trembling heart.

“Oh, is team leader Jung Soo-ho here?”

“Yes. CEO.”

“A cup of tea…”

“No, I drank.”

“Hmm.”

It was the first time I met with CEO Gong Hwan directly like this.

“You don’t know how big the company is because of you.”

“It’s not because of me.”

It’s thanks to the hard work of Solar and Luna members.

Now, the status of the 1st Headquarters has risen even higher.

“I hear you’re still running around like a rod?”

“Yes. CEO.”

“Isn’t it a waste of talent? It must be difficult to manage the schedule.”

“No. It’s fine now.”

Most of the schedules where the shit came out were on-site.

Meeting the TVM PD and the designer of G.O.L.

“Hmm, let me know if you need anything.”

“…”

A lot of things are needed.

I want to change the van right away because it’s outdated.

“As expected, you’re as humble as I’ve heard.”

No, I’m thinking about what to ask.

Mr. Gong, you have a very impatient personality.

“Then can you prepare for a solar concert?”

“Well, the repertoire is still not enough for that…”

“You’re asking for Solar’s full album to be released.”

“…”

I never said that.

“Yes. I will give you a full album with a big heart.”

“…”

Isn’t that such a good reward?

Isolation couldn’t even release a full-length album.

“As expected, it seems that that is not enough.”

“?”

Isn’t that enough

How much money does it cost to release a full album?

“I’ll be sure to hold a solo concert for Solar next year.”

“… Thank you.”

“You seem satisfied now.”

Originally, I was satisfied.

“I hope you can trust and entrust the artists of Division 2 to me as you do now.”

“Yes, of course.”

“Thank you.”

“Let’s stop by once and have a cup of coffee.”

“Yes. CEO.”

I don’t think I would ever come here for coffee.

I nodded and left the office.

“Whoa, it’s burdensome.”

Around this time last year, I was assigned to the Q&G label.

At the time, I couldn’t even imagine a situation like this.

‘In just one year…’

A lot has really changed.

Maybe by the end of next year.

‘The Dream Agency might call me.’

If only the dungchog is forever, it’s cheap.

* * *

Pre-production.

The stage of pre-preparation necessary for film production.

It included securing investment, casting, and hunting for filming locations.

“Assistant Director, how is the staff?”

“Everyone is not a fraud.”

“I guess so.”

An action movie starring actress Jang Eun-seo.

Although there were some staff who were worried about the idol members’ acting skills.

Solar’s winning streak clearly gave a green light to the movie’s box office success.

“Coach, can we crank in early next year?”

“It’s up to the actors.”

“…”

Leading actress Jang Jang-seo and stuntwoman Yang Joo-hee.

I think we can start filming as soon as the two of us are ready.

Tiri-Ri-Ring-

At that time, team leader Jeong Soo-ho received a call.

“Hello. Chief.”

-Director, how have you been?

“Sure. Ha ha.”

Solar’s success will be a great fertilizer for the movie’s box office success.

Solar’s topicality was the best in the domestic idol version.

– Once the year-end song festival is over…

Kim Chun-soo swallowed his saliva and listened to him.

-Eunseo and Joohee, I think you can set up a shooting schedule right away.

“Ohhh, I see!”

-You can visit the Action School at your convenience.

“May I go today?”

-Yeah. I am still practicing.

“Thank you!”

It seems that you have almost finished your action acting class.

When I see Team Leader Jung being so confident.

“Assistant Director, get ready to go.”

“All right.”

Can you master stunt action in just a few months?

That too, while digesting the stage practice and schedule at the same time.

‘Chief Jeong isn’t the kind of person to say things in vain.’

I immediately got behind the wheel and headed to the action school.

Facilities that did not exist before were added to the gym.

High vaults, artificial walls and diving platforms.

Tatter-

Someone climbed the artificial wall with bare hands.

“Wow, the level of staff here is high.”

“I know.”

Woman attempting parkour action without safety equipment.

Without warning, she threw herself from the diving board onto the mat.

In an instant, the conversation went cold.

A situation in which even an inch of error would have been dangerous when she fell.

However, the other martial arts staff looked at it in a calm state.

‘Wait a minute…!’

Director Kim Chun-soo felt a strange sense of deja vu from that appearance.

“This is our movie scenario scene!”

“Oh, great.”

“Oh…!”

Literally, he recreated the scene exactly as he had in mind.

Perhaps the martial arts staff gave a demonstration to Jang Eun-seo and Yang Joo-hee…

“That person, isn’t he a martial arts staff?”

“… It was Yang Joo-hee!?”

The scene that was expected to be the most difficult scene was performed lightly.

Even, bare-body parkour action without any safety equipment.

‘It’s a real monster.’

Is that the person who did the cat dance at the Nnet awards ceremony?

On the other hand, Jang Eun-seo’s skills also improved remarkably.

Because Yang Joo-hee continued to whip and teach.

“But why is Yang Joo-hee teaching Jang Eun-seo?”

“That’s it.”

Except for the martial arts director, no one could handle Joo-hee’s physicality.

“… Why does Yang Joo-hee want to be in a girl group?”

“Well, I think I should go to Taereung.”

Team leader Jung Soo-ho believes in only Yang Joo-hee and goes for action.

It was only now that I realized the true meaning of the word.

“I wasn’t ready for action.”

“Yes. I’ve already prepared all the shooting scenes.”

“You can graduate from action school.”

I think I can start filming right away, even tomorrow.

Did this mean that you finished preparing for the shoot?

I didn’t know how to prepare this perfectly.

“Rather, aren’t the staff ready?”

“…”

* * *

December has already passed the middle of the month.

Ahead of the year-end Samsa Song Festival season.

The schedule was pushed like crazy.

Just managing Solar and Luna’s schedule would take an entire day.

“Jiyu, organize them one by one.”

“First of all, entertainment is a military man, a warlord, and a babysitter.”

“OK.”

First of all, I caught everything that felt even a little in the back of my head.

Is it thanks to “Escape Room Maze”?

A lot of entertainment schedules came to Somi.

“Somi, will you be able to become a military man around the beginning of next year?”

“Are you going to high school now?”

“A high school girl with a military pen is precious.”

“…But I don’t think I’ll like it.”

“I’ll go anyway.”

Besides, there were schedules where I had to appear.

“It’s time to take care of the omniscient, are you really going out?”

“Make a schedule for January.”

“Wow, oppa was also greedy for broadcasting?”

“… It’s not like that.”

To be honest, I don’t want to freak out.

The dung chok kept sending signals.

“First of all, let’s make it a one-shot rather than a long-term appearance.”

“OK.”

“Ah! Eunseo and Joohee are going to skip all of their schedules.”

“Yes?”

In the first half of next year, I will only be filming movies.

My precious loan is also hanging there.

“Joo-hee unnie too? Excluding group schedules and only filming?”

“Of course.”

“Brother, let’s be too sweet.”

“Yes?”

“I want to be considerate for filming…!”

“?”

What are you talking about

Because my money is at stake.

“If Joo-hee unnie finds out, she will be moved.”

“…”

He doesn’t know how to impress.

Do you still not know Juhee’s personality?

“Brother, you know that there are a lot of advertisements, right?”

“Yeah. Let’s organize the advertisement side as well.”

“It’s all advertising.”

“…”

Advertising was one of the industries with the greatest image consumption.

I’m thinking of grabbing at most two, or maybe just one.

“What’s so many?”

“It’s Solar.”

Countless advertising proposals and storyboards.

Even if you look at it once, it seems like a year.

“The major advertisement is this way.”

“Yes?”

Food, cosmetics, luxury brands, etc.

These were good advertisements for image management.

I was spending time looking at which advertisement would be good.

‘Game advertisement…?’

A tingling sensation came to the back of my head.

A well-known foreign game company.

There is such a thing as bad advertising.

“I’ll have to catch an ad.”

“Oh, it’s a cosmetic advertisement, right?”

“No. Solar, the sun goddess.”

“?”

It was similar to the concept in the music video for “Only Look at Me”.

It felt like a game character.

‘I can’t miss the reverse double.’

Sun Priest, Mage, Archer, Knight, Barbarian.

I never thought the day would come when I would find this concept again.

“Oppa, Solar is a top star now.”

“I know.”

Somi is graduating from middle school now.

If you are in high school, you must have passed puberty.

“Let’s find our original intention.”
