[90] Concert Tour (2)

-Waaa!

The cheers of as many as 50,000 people covered the Tokyo Dome.

Isn’t it spectacular just to look at the audience?

It was already the order of the fourth artist.

“Now the next step is…”

Umji Yu admired the stage in front of her with her eyes twinkling.

A girl group having their first overseas concert at Tokyo Dome.

As Solar’s manager, it was a thrilling moment.

“Suho oppa, now it’s our turn!”

“Yes.”

Suho touches the back of his neck with one hand and answers chicly.

Jiyu glanced at him and smiled brightly.

“What did the older sisters say before going on stage?”

“It’s the same, what.”

At first glance, he seemed blunt, but he knew it well.

If you’re scratching the back of your head like you are now, it’s a positive situation.

‘Why didn’t I know.’

His career as a manager started almost immediately after finishing high school.

Even before that, the family had known each other back and forth.

‘…Was it so cool.’

His life did not change at all even though he was promoted at high speed with great performance.

He rode along during the day and analyzed the market at night.

He directly managed Solar, Luna, Lee Soo-yeon and even trainees.

In particular, Solar took the top spot in a year without even a moment of hiatus.

I couldn’t grow my domestic fandom anymore, so I had no choice but to look abroad.

The result is right now.

‘Standing on stage today…’

It was an achievement he made in just one year.

It was proved with overwhelming sound recording results.

Pat—!

At that moment, a spotlight was lit on the stage.

It was an additional light installed for Solar by FD’s consideration.

Thanks to that, the members appear as beautiful as a painting.

Kim Ye-ji reflected on the screen reminded me of the goddess of the sun.

She subsequently became the 8 million won top actress and the heroine of Dancing Street.

Even the youngest line up on stage waving their hands brightly.

“Wow…”

Jiyu unknowingly spat out an exclamation.

“Yumi unnie really decided and coordinated it”

“I know.”

They say location makes people.

Maybe it’s because he’s recently had two subordinates.

Her styling skills seemed to be improving as well.

-Waaa!

As proof of that, an incomparable shout erupted.

Deafeningly loud cheers.

I could feel the hot heat on my skin.

– By the time my heart gets tired… You will come.

Soon, Yeji decorated her intro with a dreamy tone.

The songs in this regular album matched the atmosphere of the stage.

Celestial harmony echoed from the ceiling of Tokyo Dome through the speakers.

‘… Beautiful.’

A stage where the beautiful voices of the five members harmonize perfectly.

They transcended the language barrier and touched the emotions of the audience.

The most important first song on stage.

The members tore the stage from the start.

‘I feel sorry for the next team.’

There are still three teams left to come up with.

So, who arranged the stage sequence like this?

I wish the stage planner would be cut off.

“Brother, I think I’m going to cry… Oppa?”

Umji-yu looked around in search of the missing Suho.

“… Ah.”

Japan’s top singer on the final stage of today’s performance.

Yui Ueda talking with an employee of her agency.

“Yeah, it was like that.”

She kept it a secret even to herself and made friends.

Somehow, it was strange that FD was friendly.

How much information and ulterior motives do you have in your head?

I don’t know why she hides so much from her subordinates.

“Therefore…”

I think it might look nicer.

After successfully completing her concert in Japan,

She rode her way to the airport and got into the van through the crowds of fans who had come to cheer her on.

“Chief, thank you for your hard work.”

“Yes. The manager too.”

She sat in the passenger seat and checked her entertainment news on her smartphone.

“Are you going straight to work?”

“Yes. For now.”

This afternoon, I think I will have to visit her grandmother Eunseo in the hospital.

“Chief, Team Manager Hong said he was looking for it.”

“Me?”

“Yes. How did you know about the Shanghai performance?”

“What?”

“hahahaha. You’re pretending not to know again.”

“…”

I nodded and searched for videos related to her concert.

Numerous Solar fancams roamed the Naturube sea.

‘… Already 5 million views.’

Thanks to the enthusiastic response from the audience, it also entered the top of the Oricon chart.

“Team Koo, Yeji will finish the performance schedule before going to Hollywood.”

“Yes. I know.”

The next stage is Thailand, then England.

Caught her last concert in Korea.

“For the Thailand performance, team manager Koo will follow and do a good job.”

“Yes. Manager.”

“The production team of Solar Beam Season 2 will follow.”

“All right.”

The last stage, a solo concert in Seoul.

It was a performance that required a lot of practice.

‘If it even counts as an encore…’

I had to sing a total of 16 songs in one sitting without stopping.

Only 5 solo performances for each member.

Look at me, SAS, regular album, cover song.

Considering the guests, it reached almost 20 songs.

“Chief, the ticketing date has been set.”

“Oh yeah?”

I checked the date and nodded.

Will we be able to fill the entire Seoul Arena Center in a week from now?

The guerrilla concert was free, but this time it was at least 110,000 won.

“I have to practice really hard.”

“Absolutely!”

At that time, Yeji, who had been listening from behind, answered coldly.

“I’ll make you work hard!”

“… You work too hard.”

“I am”

“You have to sleep while you sleep.”

“You’re not sleeping either, sir.”

“…”

On days when you don’t have schedules, you sleep for 12 hours.

Giik-

Soon after, I parked the van and entered the company building with the members.

“Chief!!!”

As soon as I returned to the company, the head of the PR team came running to find me.

“Did you cancel the concert in China after knowing it in advance?”

“Yeah?”

“There’s an article about the Shanghai General Stadium refund issue right now!”

“?”

Team leader Hong finally came up to me and handed me a smartphone.

[The cracks on the outer wall of Shanghai General Stadium are unusual. Currently, the performance planning team is in a state of silence…]

Wow, what’s going on

“…That’s the news from 5 minutes ago.”

“As expected, you knew in advance!”

“…”

The one who knew in advance was the PR team manager.

I just found out after reading a news article.

“Sir, did you really find the material 7 years ago and cancel it!?”

“As for the data…?”

“The original Chinese article on the news link. Please look for the repair work article from 7 years ago…!”

“… I can’t read Chinese.”

“Wow! Then going back to translation!!!”

“No.”

Does that make sense

“Chief, get some sleep and work.”

“I’m sleeping well.”

“About an hour a day?”

“…”

If there is no Solar schedule, I sleep soundly.

“Let’s go in now.”

“Ah yes.”

I don’t know why they are doing this in the lobby.

“Chief, we will work really hard.”

“Yes?”

Yeji said to me with a twinkle in her eyes.

“The manager works so hard, I can’t stay still!”

“No, just do as you normally would…”

“No! I’ll work even harder to prepare for the concert!”

“… Yes.”

I can’t tell you to do a little rehearsal for the performance.

“Mmm.”

Somi carefully intervened in the conversation.

“Sister, we practiced for 9 hours the day before yesterday. That was right before the performance.”

“Then let’s do 12 hours today!”

“Ah.”

Somi was grabbed by Yeji’s hand and dragged into the practice room.

Looking at me with the most pitiful eyes in the world.

“… Cheer up.”

Korea University Hospital.

I snooped around the VIP ward and entered cautiously.

It’s probably the hospital room Eunseo reserved for her grandmother.

Knock, Knock-

I checked the lake in front of the door and knocked on the knock.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Jeong Soo-ho.”

“Ah.”

Soon, Grandmother Eunseo opened the door.

“The manager is here.”

“Hey, is your back okay?”

“I’m fine now.”

“Uh huh, take it easy, grandma.”

“Well, that’s okay.”

He was much thinner than the last time I saw him in front of the dorm.

“I should have visited you once in a while. I’m sorry.”

“Sorry what?”

Grandma lay down on her bed and turned off the TV with the remote control.

‘… His last name was Bang.’

Because she didn’t bother to ask.

It was an uncommon surname, so it caught my attention.

“How’s Eunseo doing these days?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“I’m glad.”

Looking at her wrinkled hands, I suddenly thought of my grandmother.

A grandmother who left behind a brilliant legacy.

If she had been alive, she would have been about the same age.

“Grandma, she says she’s worried about debt…”

“That’s solved.”

“Oh really?”

“If you borrow money, you have to pay it back. That’s right.”

“…”

It seems that Eunseo paid her back.

“Have you ever met a woman?”

“Yes? No, I’m busy.”

“Then, if I go wrong later, take care of Eun-seo.”

“Ah, what are you talking about?”

“It hurts, so I thought that.”

“…”

Soon, she smiled and went on with her words again.

“I guess you still don’t know who I am.”

“Yeah?”

“No, that’s not the point.”

“?”

Her grandmother pulled her paper bag from her jewelry box beside her.

“Keep this precious.”

“What is this…?”

“It’s a talisman with my phone number. You can open it in the most difficult moments.”

“Aha.”

Yellow paper reflected inside the white envelope.

It was an envelope that I saw a lot at the shaman’s house when I was young.

“… Thank you.”

Although the stage of believing in amulets has passed.

Still, it was given to me by Grandma Eunseo.

She put it in the inside pocket of her jacket.

‘Since he gave it to me, I’ll accept it.’

To be honest, I think my tummy tuck is much more magical and effective than this.

At this level, the hit rate is close to ‘religious’.

The Shanghai Stadium thing really gave me goosebumps.

“Then, if something happens to Eunseo, I will definitely call you on this number.”

“Feel free to contact me. I’ll listen to any request at least once.”

“Please?”

“Ah, that’s right! It’s time to say Mrs. Jang is having an affair.”

“…”

A grandmother who turns on the TV and greets with her hand.

“Then rest in peace.”

“Draw.”

Leaving the hospital room door,

I was thinking of taking the envelope out of her arms and saving the number.

Belt-

[(Emoticon)]

Eunseo sent me a text message to find out how.

“Eh, what is a heart?”

Within a short period of time, the second message is sent again.

[Wrongly sent]

How many worries did you have in that short amount of time?

“… While sending it properly.”

You’ve gotten pretty nice these days

Trururu—

I shook my head and called Lee Su-yeon’s manager.

“Manager, where are you?”

-I’m going to the script reading site right now.

“Oh, already?”

-Yeah. I’m not going to be late

“I’ll follow soon.”

-All right.”

Actress Lee Soo-yeon’s next drama.

It was an important turning point as it was the first work after moving the company.

The previous drama failed, but it’s difficult if it fails consecutively.

‘It’s a new broadcasting station…’

The reverse betrayal was clear, but the outcome could have changed depending on my actions.

Because no matter how successful a drama is, the main character has changed.

I had to go to the script reading and check the poop points again.

‘I should go right away.’

I got behind the wheel and headed to the station.

A week later

The five members of Solar left for Thailand with team leader Goo.

Seeing off the girls who said they would come safely after the performance.

“It’s Jiyu.”

I called JiU in the management team 1 office.

“Where is trainee Han Ji-ah?”

“He should be in the studio right now.”

“Yes.”

Normally, Q&G signed an exclusive contract with the producer for one year.

“Brother, did you see the news today?”

“What news?”

“Ueda Yui! He said he visited Korea!”

“Yes?”

“Yeah! Are you here to play?”

Did you come to the company to play too?

I should have sent you to Thailand together.

“Jiyu, if you’re bored, check the ticketing site again.”

“Oh, the ticketing date is just around the corner.”

“That’s right.”

Exclusive concert, Seoul Arena Center ticketing.

You can feel it when you see the speed of sales in the beginning.

“Chief!”

Then, one of the staff spoke to me.

“A woman is looking for you in the lobby.”

“Me? Who?”

“Looks like a foreigner!”

“…Is it the same?”

“That’s because I’m wearing sunglasses with a hat and mask…”

“…”

Don’t know who

As a new employee, I felt a sense of dread.

Even JiU would have asked who it was.

“Anyway, I understand.”

“Ah yes!”

When I see an employee with a proud expression as if he has solved something, I suddenly get a kick.

“Jiyu-ya, don’t you manage under the management?”

“Braided…?”

“No, that’s it.”

Jiyu was already the youngest, so he looked like a dog.

These days, who works for a company at the age of 20?

Drooling-

Once I went down to the lobby and confirmed the person looking for me.

“Is that person?”

If you were on this floor, you could tell just by looking at Tae.

It’s because you’re a celebrity just by looking at the size of your face or the proportions of your body.

“Are you a rookie?”

Can I go around like that without a manager?

“There…”

“Ah! Suho Award!”

“?”

Soon, a woman takes off her sunglasses and stares at me.

“Ueda Yui!?”

“eee!!”

She said, putting her finger to her mouth.

“It’s a secret to being yogi!”

“… Can you speak Korean?”

“Originally, I know the state to be small, but I’m studying more!”

“Really? What are you doing here?”

“Ah!”

Ms. Yui said as she took her pretty packaging out of her bag.

“This is a gift from our Yeji-sama!”

“Yeah?”

“I’m here to cheer you up, Mr. Yeji!”

“…”

No, someone comes directly to the company to cheer.

I guess you don’t know much about fan culture because you’re a singer.

“I’ll deliver it.”

“Thanks!”

“Yes. Goodbye then.”

“Sonna Bakana. Dameyo.”

“?”

Yui Ueda glanced around her and whispered in her ear.

“I ran away today!”

“… So what.”

“It’s not good.”

“Ah.”

Really what
