“One broadcast recruitment request came to me. This time also variety filming.”
“Variety?”
“But they said it would be good if Seoha you also come out together.”
“What variety is it?”
“Busking program.”
Ah, the work becomes too easy.
“Only Cha Seoha? Me? Oktap? Not good? They said guitarist not needed?”
“Hey, Heo Junseong be quiet a bit you brat. Is the broadcasting station school?”
“Ah, why? Can be curious.”
“Sorry, I also wish we all go out together but the recruitment request came only to Seoha. Can’t be helped.”
“Ha, the world has to look more carefully at this body’s playing, national loss.”
“...Yeah, anyway Seoha what do you think?”
“Just do a meeting once. First convey the talk.”
“Yeah, good!”
As the friends wanted Oktap’s next plan was the same as last time ‘going on broadcast and eating curses’.
I was preparing one plan.
The person necessarily needed for that plan was one PD of K-Net channel.
Commonsensically an individual high school student contacting a broadcasting station’s PD was not an easy thing.
So was in the midst of pondering this and that routes thankfully Moon Gayoung brought the work.
Because through Moon Gayoung that PD tried to recruit me.
Thinking carefully when an ordinary person floats once is when appearance fee is cheapest how many PDs would there be trying to suck a few times?
The work rolls too comfortably.
* * *
What was the title.
Busker Everyday or something like that.
Anyway I won’t have the work of going on this variety.
Well, have to make excuses moderately and refuse.
But have business with the PD.
So gladly came to this meeting place too.
“Hello. I’m PD Park Yunchan.”
“Hello I’m Cha Seoha.”
The production team and Moon Gayoung, I gathered in a meeting room of K-Net building.
“Wow, gathering like this the two people’s mask harmony is also good.”
PD Park Yunchan looked at us two people with a distant gaze and stuck out his tongue.
Seems to like quite a bit.
Following basic program explanation started.
A music variety that gathers a few celebrities and takes busking as basic format.
But...
Is this all the explanation?
It was timing when detailed concept wasn’t decided yet.
But doing recruitment first?
So fails this gentleman.
Busker Everyday season 1 fails big time.
In the future busking format programs succeed but at this point none at all.
Probably this gentleman was the first batter?
Not the level of lowering the curtain in indifference because unfamiliar program.
Going out to some cruise, 5-star hotel, even overseas and properly borrowing places.
Did stage hanging luxury busking concept in such places.
What busking is that?
The picture of foreigners in suits admiring was pretty but no way that matches busking’s sensibility.
In the end the program itself ate curses big time and season 1 ended.
“In fact detailed concept is still conception stage. Head is rolling quite a bit... But heard Cha Seoha is diligently doing busking now.”
“Yes, doing every week.”
“Seems to love this culture quite a bit in Seoha’s view if there’s busking variety what picture seems good to see?”
A producer seeking advice from surroundings is a frequent thing.
Even so asking such a question to a high school student seeing for the first time this person was quite desperate.
“It’s fine so speak comfortably.”
I have to use this person and plant a good impression.
So...
Have to tell the correct answer.
“Um, first take the busking format as is but adding something seems good.”
“Adding means?”
“Simplicity.”
“Wait a bit, I’ll record this a bit.”
Park Yunchan turned on the recorder.
Strange this person in my memory seemed a very authoritative person was it a misunderstanding.
Anyway I continued the explanation.
“First as an obvious picture doing busking in places like Yeouido Hangang Park or university campus. Roots-wise Hongdae would also be good.”
“Yes. And?”
“And adding one spoon of daily feel there seems good. While preparing the next busking the cast cooking and eating among themselves or such daily things exist right.”
“Ooo, yeah, simplicity!”
PD Park Yunchan gave an eye signal to the youngest writer sitting beside and the youngest writer starts erasing something.
Seems erased that luxury whatever concept just now.
Like that I told this and that correct answers to the PD.
“...Like that showing the everyday of musicians preparing street performances. Buskers’ everyday.”
“Wow, Busker Everyday... This would be good to use as title too?”
Didn’t even have a title yet? Going crazy.
“Wow, anyway this is too good in various ways?”
Naturally good this is the plan you used in season 2 and hit big.
This is the correct answer I told you.
Perhaps because pulled the plan oneself will recall in the future the reaction is too good.
Well done abandoning the original plan and coming here.
“Simplicity, why couldn’t I think of this.”
“Anyway because that’s the foundation of busking. Rather than throwing in other elements this and that reducing production cost is also good right?”
“Haha! Fun friend, do you perhaps have no thought of trying broadcast production?”
“Even just the words thank you.”
The atmosphere became quite warm.
Moon Gayoung had no words from earlier.
Would be thinking what situation is this again.
“Um, Seoha, I can’t assert right now that I’ll use this immediately but probably seems like I’ll use it? Regardless of appearance fee is there something you want? If the broadcast goes well seems like I have to do something. Too thankful.”
“Haha, then well, if by chance the broadcasting station union total strike and music broadcast lineup has a hole please call once as a substitute.”
“...What did you say?”
“Ah, it’s a joke.”
“Ah, ahaha! A friend who makes fun jokes this!”
Not a joke.
* * *
Busker Everyday is PD Park Yunchan’s first variety.
That person is originally the director of K-Net channel’s music broadcast K-Counter.
Even while producing music broadcast what he didn’t let go was the dream of becoming a variety producer and Busker Everyday is that start.
This is the reason I wanted to contact PD Park Yunchan.
As the words thrown to him Oktap’s next plan is music broadcast appearance.
Is there a method as easy as this to solidify the idol frame?
Probably if going on music broadcast the public... don’t know well but in the band scene will definitely eat more curses than now.
This is 100%.
A few days later I revealed the intention of refusing busking variety appearance to PD Park Yunchan.
Of course as politely as possible thinking of later.
Put forward the excuse of currently being an exam student and family opposition being too severe.
PD Park Yunchan said too regrettable but couldn’t be helped.
Still the talk ended well so fine.
Now quite a lot of time remains until executing the next plan.
A few months later contact will come from PD Park Yunchan.
Until then Oktap has to spend time continuing the work doing.
“Wow, really too cold?”
“Hey, are we doing busking today? Shall we rest a day?”
“Didn’t even notice?”
“Ha...”
January’s cold seemed like cutting the flesh.
Consistency doesn’t betray us but this was too cold even if the weather is cold.
Anyway looking at today’s busking audience number until the weather warms up should rest a bit.
As Heo Junseong said the weather was cold and in such weather a sorry heart of holding the audience’s feet also arose.
“Anyway is busking too much when too cold?”
“Hey, of course, what busking in this weather?”
Seeing all the guys trembling in the cold somehow sorry.
Is resting right on a day like today?
No but when I did idol life even in scorching sun, even in cold wave warning I ran external events?
Performed even if rain came and even if snow came?
Even these guys have better stamina and are younger than me of then?
Yeah, no matter how much thinking resting doesn’t seem right.
“No, just continuing seems right.”
“Hey! Cha Seoha!”
“That, poisonous guy.”
“Seoha doesn’t seem human.”
“Hidoine...”
“Okay, then let’s decide looking at the audience. If there’s a person who wants to see us, still won’t do?”
“...”
There is no person in the world who watches a performance forced while disliking.
So if no people rest until the weather warms up.
Pierced the cold weather and arrived at Banwol Park.
“Look, even like this won’t do?”
People were flocking in front of the platform we always used as stage.
Compared to usual a much smaller number.
Still there were people.
“Even while we are eating curses these days came to cheer like this still won’t do?”
Honestly I was too thankful.
Then how would these guys be.
“Damn...”
“Huh? Damn?”
Have to say thankful. Damn?
“Damn! Coming to see me even in this weather going crazy! The blood of a first-class guitarist boils! Uwahaha!”
Looking carefully Heo Junseong seems more than Kang Min...
“Too thankful thing. I think I can continue even if cold!”
Lee Doyoung is obvious.
“Brought cold protection gloves thinking it might be like this.”
Kim Jihu, as expected meticulous.
Kang Min...
“Hey, are you crying?”
“Hic, arigato... Minna! Hontoni arigato!”
Ah, disgusting crazy guy just go home.
We originally did well without drums too.
